and that frightened me because my fear was if people stopped listening to the advice, to the precautions, to all the things that we want to do to protect the people, and people are frustrated with all the restrictions that have gone on, i felt i don't know how matt hancock is going to do this. so, in a way, that decision has been made for us, and we have got sajid javid now. and i hope that he has the confidence of the nhs staff. and one thing that i picked up, one thing that is really, really important is matt hancock said, we are nearly there. i disagree with him, and my reason i disagree with him is the world has not been immunised. i disagree with him, and my reason i disagree with him is the world has not been immunised. so, we really want sajid javid of course to look up the united kingdom but to also to start looking after the rest of the world. it is really important, otherwise we will get variants. we are now finding from india that we have the delta plus, some kind of development at the delta variant

which is causing them concern, we don't know how serious it is but we are worried about it. the emergence of different variants is a reflection on uncontrolled immense reproduction of the virus, and the virus makes mistakes, and then a variant arises so we have got to suppress infections the world over and that is our next task, too. i have heard anecdotally a lot of people saying, talking too informally in work, out of work, in social situations, well, more that have been vaccinated, double vaccinated, fewer people are going to hospital, it is a matter of a few more people get the infection, does it? and judging by what you are saying, this rise of infections in the uk should be worrying and we shouldn't simply dismiss it as a more people are getting vaccinated, we don't really have to worry any more. no, we mustn't dismiss it because we don't know what is around the corner. i mean, ten months ago,

we were not talking about variants and here we are at delta variant stage already. my other concern is children and schools and colleges because that's where the infections start, and whilst the young people may not get severe disease at this point in time, there may be a variant that could arise and start causing severe disease in the younger age group. therefore, the protection that we have is the vaccines and i really would like us to follow the united states model where they are immunising 12 years and above, and if it is possible, and it is licensed, even younger ages. that will protect us. but we mustn't forget about the rest of the world, that is really, really important, too. not everyone thought matt hancock should be forced to resign, earlier my colleague asked edwina currie,

herself as a health minister, which are made of mr hancock's decision. i think it probably has, in the circumstances, it wasn'tjust one photo of him, there are lots of photo of him, there are lots of photo starting to come out going back through may... i think the worry was what else was perhaps going to be in the sunday papers. maybe he has seen and we haven't. i think it is such a shame. he has been an absolute fantastic health minister. really fantastic. we are up minister. really fantastic. we are up to nearly 84% of people in this country have had their first dose. nobody would have thought that was possible. nobody two absolutely fantastic. the way the vaccine relate has been handled, the way much of the science has been developed in this country, did not exist before, he takes an awful lot of credit for that. when we look back and this time, we will see just how much this remarkable man has contributed. how much this remarkable man has contributed-— how much this remarkable man has contributed. edwina currie speaking a little earlier _ contributed. edwina currie speaking a little earlier on _ contributed. edwina currie speaking

brought plenty of dry weather. the second lap of the weekend promises men two more of the same. blue skies on the way in swanage, saturday afternoon will bring grey skies and outbreaks of rain. courtesy of the very slow moving weather system. you can see the curl of cloud, neither of low pressure that has become marooned just to the north—west and it will be throwing this band of rain northwards across the channel islands into southern counties of england through sunday morning. the ultra running ahead of the into east anglia. midlands and the parts of wales. all the while, northern england, northern ireland apostle scott will be dry, sunny spells, though thicker cow could bring the odd spot of rain in the far north west of scotland. 15 degrees from stornoway, 22 the height in london. through sunday evening, some of the strain could turn pretty heavy, with the odd rumble of thunder, it will

move northward overnight into parts of east anglia, wales, maybe even parts of northern england. temperatures will stay in double digits for most of us. our slow moving weather system will still be with us into monday. further outbreaks of rain a time across the south, with high pressure building and further north, where we will see the choice of the weather. quite a white star across the south—west of england. if you more showers developing for south—east england, the midlands, east anglia through the midlands, east anglia through the day. one or two into northern england to stop northern ireland and scotland should be dry was some spouse of sunshine. the house temperatures across western scotland, up to 23, may be 2a degrees. though showers in the south not great news for the start of wimbledon. there could be some interruption to the play on monday. and indeed as we head on into tuesday, because our slow moving weather system will still be with us. further pulses of rain across the south of the uk, whereas further

north area of high pressure will keep things drier, sunnier and warmer. we could see temperatures in glasgow on tuesday getting up to 25 degrees, but always the chance for some outbreaks of rain further south.

the health secretary, matt hancock, resigns after the revelations over him kissing and embracing a colleague in breach of covid guidance. he'd led the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic from the very beginning... but now after images of him and colleague gina coladangelo surfaced, he now says he's let people down. i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made, that you have made, and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them, and that's why i've got to resign. tonight, downing street announced the former chancellor, sajid javid, will take over as health secretary. also tonight... as rescuers search

for survivors, there'd been warnings three years ago about the safety of the collapsed miami apartment block. good hit, good girl! —— good goal. and a sad end to wales' euro 2020 journey, beaten 4—0 by denmark. good evening. the health secretary matt hancock has resigned a day after he admitted breaching social distancing guidelines by kissing a woman who sat on the board of his department. pressure had been growing on him to step down, including from some conservative mps, after cctv footage of the kiss in his departmental office was released by the sun newspaper.

and the enormous challenges he faced running the health department. this is what the government wanted us to be talking about this weekend. they're calling it "grab a jab", telling every adult in england they can turn up for a vaccine without booking. and the timing is serious — cases are going up. more than 98,000 people have tested positive in the last week. i don't think we need this bit on camera. but instead, the focus is now all on matt hancock, the most recent former health secretary. all done. his resignation letter admitted "we didn't get every decision right", but he also pointed out his achievements, including that the nhs wasn't overwhelmed during the pandemic. but we, like so many others, have been rocked by covid. we've seen previously unimaginable numbers of people dying after being infected. there have been issues with how long it took to lock down, with difficulties getting adequate ppe and with the test

and trace programme. recently, the criticism went to another level. the secretary of state for health should have been fired for at least 15, 20 things, including lying to everybody. the main charge was about how the health secretary protected care homes. the government rhetoric was that "we put a shield around care homes, blah blah". it was complete nonsense. and it didn't stop there, with messages published recently, apparently between dominic cummings and the prime minister, calling the health secretary "totally hopeless". are you hopeless, mr hancock? i don't think so. but he did get a chance to defend his record... that was a planning assumption for 820,000 deaths, and i was determined that that would not happen on my watch. ..but also point to this, a turning point in the pandemic. maggie keenan becoming the first person to be vaccinated outside of clinical trials. now the uk has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world.

matt hancock says the nation is on the brink of a return to normality, but that is not the case for the nhs, with a record 5 million on waiting lists in england. before the pandemic, about 1,600 people were waiting for a yearfor surgery. that number has now rocketed to 385,000. and now sajid javid, the son of a bus driver, takes the wheel at the department of health. with long covid, a plan for social care and dealing with exhausted nhs staff, he has got quite the in—tray. catherine burns, bbc news. let's speak to our deputy political editor vicki young about the today's events. vicki, borisjohnson stood by matt hancock only yesterday. it seemed they would both tough this out, so what happened? ih they would both tough this out, so what happened?— they would both tough this out, so what happened? in the end, this was a ersonal what happened? in the end, this was a personal decision _ what happened? in the end, this was a personal decision by _ what happened? in the end, this was a personal decision by matt - what happened? in the end, this was a personal decision by matt hancock. he wasn't sacked, although of course, consequences notjust for his career, but for his family too.

you saw and read in the statement that he said, i need to be with my children at this time. but there is no doubt the pressure was building behind the scenes yesterday and today. mps were not exactly rushing out to back him publicly. some were going privately to the prime minister and to going privately to the prime ministerand to mr going privately to the prime minister and to mr hancock himself, even his friends, saying his positionjust even his friends, saying his position just wasn't tenable. it is that charge of hypocrisy. you simply cannot stand in front of the nation for a year telling them about rules, telling them to follow them, and then be seen to break them yourself. and the idea next week that he would turn up in parliament in the house of commons on monday and later in the week, making announcements about may be more restrictions or about the nhs, his authority had gone. there are also questions for the prime minister. speaking to mps and some ministers tonight, there are some ministers tonight, there are some saying this brings into question the prime minister's judgment. why didn't he sack matt hancock on friday? fight! judgment. why didn't he sack matt hancock on friday?— hancock on friday? and now said javid hancock on friday? and now said javid reurnsr d hancock on friday? and now said javid returns to i hancock on friday? and now said javid returns to the d hancock on friday? and now said javid returns to the front d hancock on friday? and now sajid javid returns to the front bench? l hancock on friday? and now sajid| javid returns to the front bench? it javid returns to the front bench? it is not ideal to change your health secretary during a pandemic, but

sajid javid has medical expense. he has been home secretary and chancellor, so he won't be fazed by the task ahead of him. he is popular in the conservative party and pretty popular across the whole of the house of commons. lots of his colleagues i have spoken to tonight after that he is back. there is another twist to this as well, some of them pointing out that sajid javid left as chancellor because he had been embroiled in a row with dominic cummings. one minister said to me tonight, this is a cleansing moment. dominic cummings has gone, sajid javid is back. ifield moment. dominic cummings has gone, sajid javid is back.— sajid javid is back. vicki young at westminster. _ well, the latest government coronavirus figures show 18,270 new cases were reported in the last 24 hour period, and 23 deaths. that means on average, there were 14,066 new cases per day in the last week. more than 200,000 people received a first dose of a vaccine in the last 24 hours, meaning over than 44 million people have now had a single jab,

nearly 84% of adults in the uk. the number of people who've had their second dose in the latest 24 hour period, is over 158,000, taking the overall total to more than 32 million. that's 61.2% of adults in the uk. wales have been knocked out of the european football championship — losing 4—0 to denmark in the first of the tournament's round—of—16 matches. the welsh conceded three goals in the second half and had a player sent off. hywel griffith was watching the action in amsterdam. clive, on the night that many supporters may want to forget, it is important to remember how far wales have come in recent years, climbing 100 places in the fifa world rankings in qualifying for two major tournaments. but tonight, they fell well short, failing to cope with denmark's change of tactics, feeling very frustrated with the referee. tonight they find themselves out of euro 2020. they should have been walking down

the aisle. instead, caitlin and jake's big day was spent cheering for their team. the pandemic forced the couple, who live in the netherlands, to postpone their wedding. so no cake, just plenty of danish. irate wedding. so no cake, 'ust plenty of danish. ~ my wedding. so no cake, 'ust plenty of danish. ~ . ., wedding. so no cake, 'ust plenty of danish. ~ ., , ., ., danish. we feel lucky to be one of the tiny minority _ danish. we feel lucky to be one of the tiny minority of _ danish. we feel lucky to be one of the tiny minority of wales - danish. we feel lucky to be one of the tiny minority of wales fans - danish. we feel lucky to be one ofj the tiny minority of wales fans are here today. the tiny minority of wales fans are here today-— the tiny minority of wales fans are here toda . , . ,, ., ., ., here today. denmark also had loved ones that couldn't _ here today. denmark also had loved ones that couldn't be _ here today. denmark also had loved ones that couldn't be here. - ones that couldn't be here. christian eriksen still recovering, their inspiration. wales, outnumbered again, started well, getting the ball to bale, but unable to make it count. denmark changed tack and found their flow. now wales were frustrated as the pressure builds. and as kasper dolberg cut inside, he broke wales' spirit. denmark strike first!— inside, he broke wales' spirit. denmark strike first! from holland to back home- _ denmark strike first! from holland to back home. wales _ denmark strike first! from holland to back home. wales needed - denmark strike first! from holland to back home. wales needed to i denmark strike first! from holland | to back home. wales needed to find denmark strike first! from holland i to back home. wales needed to find a way to disrupt denmark? dominance.

it's hard to overstate just how awful the situation has become. the search and rescue continues, but no survivors have been found now for almost three days, leaving the family is unable to fully grieve, nor hold onto hope. this rescue effort is slow going, methodical, and deeply upsetting. since the 12—storey apartment block came down, only a handful of people have been found. dozens are thought to be somewhere under this rubble. the rescue is being hampered by a persistent fire, which firefighters are struggling to contain. if any resident is still trapped in air pockets in the debris, it makes their chances of survival even slimmer. we're facing incredible difficulties with this fire. it's a very deep fire, it's extremely difficult to locate the source of the fire, and so they've been working around the clock. a small offering of solace to those

still unaccounted for, but to add to the families' distress, it's been revealed that a survey on the block three years ago found a major error which affected drainage and waterproofing, and abundant cracking in the structure of the parking garage. as the days pass, the residents of surfside are beginning to accept that they may never see their missing neighbours again. if that wasn't harrowing enough, the fact that serious flaws with the building were flagged up as long as three years ago is enough to extinguish the final vestiges of hope that this community is clinging to. will grant, bbc news, surfside, florida. with all the sport now, here's sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. the british and irish lions won their warm—up match againstjapan ahead of their tour to south africa, but it was overshadowed by an injury to captain alun wynjones. he dislocated his shoulder and will now return to wales, with ireland's conor murray taking

over as skipper. katie gornall was at murrayfield for us. these fans know they are the lucky ones. there will be no sea of red when the lions tour south africa, so it turns out merrifield is the next best thing. this is new ground for the lions, theirfirst best thing. this is new ground for the lions, their first time playing in scotland, their first test againstjapan. still, there's plenty thatis againstjapan. still, there's plenty that is familiar. alun wynjones has more experience than anyone, but he lasted only seven minutes before dislocating his shoulder as a huge blow. in their captain because my absence, it was time for others to step up and josh adams, on his lines debut, answer the call. japan, world cup quarterfinalists, looked rusty, while scotland because my van der merwe was anything but, another try scoring debut. and the tries kept coming. 21 points up at the break. after it, the alliance would raise further clear. dan biggar was flawless with the post in but japan's perseverance would
