ben wright reports. one of the most familiar faces of the pandemic, the health secretary at the heart of decision—making as the country battled covid. and often seen at his side was this woman, gina coladangelo — a former lobbyist, adviser to the health secretary and long—term friend. but on friday came this image of them kissing in matt hancock's office. breaking, as he admitted, the government's own covid guidelines and plunging his own career into crisis. last night, he quit. 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. matt hancock hoped to ride out this storm — a cabinet minister with big ambition, who had the backing of the prime minister. number 10 considered this matter closed and it was mr hancock who decided to step down.
6:03 am
what has been clear over the last 2a hours is that for a sizeable minority or even majority of the public, they no longer had confidence in matt hancock. it wasn't the affair, it was the apparent hypocrisy of being someone who had made the rules but then broke their own rules.— broke their own rules. there was another big _ broke their own rules. there was another big problem, _ broke their own rules. there was another big problem, gina - another big problem, gina coladangelo was appointed to the board on a taxpayer salary and the government says the rules were followed but labour asked for an investigation. ms coladangelo stepped down from her role. it was not the first time matt hancock had been under pressure in recent weeks with the prime minister's former aide dominic cummings ripping into matt hancock's performance during the pandemic. the matt hancock's performance during the pandemic— matt hancock's performance during the pandemic. the secretary of state for health should _ the pandemic. the secretary of state for health should have _ the pandemic. the secretary of state for health should have been - the pandemic. the secretary of state for health should have been fired - for health should have been fired for health should have been fired for at least 15—20 things, including lying to everybody. for at least 15-20 things, including lying to everybody-— for at least 15-20 things, including lying to everybody. later releasing what that messages _ lying to everybody. later releasing what that messages showed - lying to everybody. later releasing what that messages showed borisl what that messages showed boris johnson calling the health ministry

totally hopeless and recently the queen seemed and matt hancock strongly rejected dominic cummings's allegations. morning, mrjaved! the dominic cummings's allegations. morning, mrjaved!— morning, mrjaved! the former chancellor _ morning, mrjaved! the former chancellor sajid _ morning, mrjaved! the former chancellor sajid javid _ morning, mrjaved! the former chancellor sajid javid now - morning, mrjaved! the former i chancellor sajid javid now returns to the cabinet is the new health secretary. taking over during a pandemic that is not yet over. thank you very much indeed. in his resignation letter, matt hancock apologised to his family for putting them through all of these. a spokesman declined to comment but tonight it is understood mr hancock has also left his wife. ben wright, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent helen catt. she is in a london newsroom for us this morning. good morning to you, helen. listening to ben's report, by the end yesterday it was inevitable, was it, but he had to go? yes. the end yesterday it was inevitable, was it, but he had to go?— was it, but he had to go? yes, it was it, but he had to go? yes, it was matt hancock's _ was it, but he had to go? yes, it was matt hancock's decision - was it, but he had to go? yes, it was matt hancock's decision to l was matt hancock's decision to
6:05 am
resign, he did have the backing of the prime minister, but i think it was pretty— it would have been extremely difficult for him to have to fit out and carry on into the role and that is something that senior conservatives will make it pretty clear to him privately yesterday and we spoke yesterday about how important those behind the scenes conversations would be and it is that issue of you know the health secretary sets the rules, the health secretary sets the rules, the health secretary is the public face of the rules in so many aspects that it just would have lacked credibility for matt hancock to stand up at the podium again perhaps and tell us that we have to abide by some sort of restrictions or to add new restrictions above think it was that fundamental problem that meant really that situation became untenable for him. so he did decide to resign yesterday, keir starmer the labour leader saying it was the right thing for matt hancock to do but he says that borisjohnson should have fired him and others questioned the prime minister's judgement in this and senior conservatives behind the scenes were saying this was untenable then why did the prime minister stand by him?
6:06 am
the questions have been asked about that. the prime minister has moved quickly to replace him with sajid javid back in the cabinet as the health secretary. what is top of his in tray, do you think? this health secretary. what is top of his in tray, do you think?— in tray, do you think? this is a hue in tray, do you think? this is a huge job _ in tray, do you think? this is a huge job that _ in tray, do you think? this is a huge job that he _ in tray, do you think? this is a huge job that he is _ in tray, do you think? this is a huge job that he is taking - in tray, do you think? this is a huge job that he is taking on l in tray, do you think? this is a i huge job that he is taking on and in tray, do you think? this is a - huge job that he is taking on and as you said he has had some of the biggestjobs in government before with a former home secretary and chancellor but in borisjohnson's letter to matt hancock, he thanked him for dealing with the challenge greater than any of his predecessors, that is the challenge that sajid javid now has to pick up, if there are immediate decisions that need to be made and we know the review point on whether to lift the final state of restrictions is coming up pretty fast on the fifth ofjuly so that is something in his immediate in tray and such javid has said he is honoured to have been asked to serve as the secretary of state for health and social care at this critical time and he looks forward to contributing to the fight against the pandemic observing the country in the cabinet but of course it is notjust the pandemic, he also has some pretty big issue something like the impact of the nhs and social care coming down the track also. ., ~ , ., , .

6:14 am
this report from ibiza. dance music plays. music is the pulse of this island. ibiza's economy revolves around its nightclubs. now, ibiza has been green listed by the uk, this island is gearing up for the return of mass tourism, and this experiment could represent its revival. the guinea pigs are all key workers, like these nursing assistants. lucia told me that she really wants to dance. it has been so long since we have able to party here. her friend said "it's true. "after such a long time, you really do want to go for it." most other bars are serving again but beyond this event, dancing is still banned. there are signs ibiza is emerging from the crisis — there are no restrictions on people travelling to these shores
6:15 am
from the uk, but the balearic politicians want to tighten the entry rules. we think with the number of cases in the uk, now is the right moment to put in place some controls to make sure everyone who comes here is safe and can have a safe holiday. balearic beats were born here and the ibiza experience can draw people in for life. you know, kids come here at 17, 18, 19 years old, fall in love with the place, and they keep coming back eturning year after year, until, you know, even in their 50s — they bring their kids here and rent villas — so it plays an important part of being a gateway to discover the island. djs worry if the tune does not change soon, the clubbers will simply go elsewhere. there is something magical about the island. ibiza is about the clubbing. it would be foolish— you cannot stop cove it, simple as.
6:16 am
—— clubbing. there needs to be a place for it somewhere and if not here, then it will be somewhere else. there is a lot riding on a sensitive experiment. media access was tightly controlled. and soon, the moves that were meant to be restricted to the dance floor were breaking out elsewhere. ibiza's iconic venues should reopen within weeks if the results from this event prove clubbing can happen without ruining efforts to defeat the pandemic. anna holligan, bbc news, ibiza. happy memories. children of the 80s. exactl ! i happy memories. children of the 80s. exactly! i think — happy memories. children of the 80s. exactly! i think there _ happy memories. children of the 80s. exactly! i think there would _ happy memories. children of the 80s. exactly! i think there would be - happy memories. children of the 80s. exactly! i think there would be few - exactly! i think there would be few ni . htclubs exactly! i think there would be few nightclubs here _ exactly! i think there would be few nightclubs here that _ exactly! i think there would be few nightclubs here that wish - exactly! i think there would be few nightclubs here that wish they - exactly! i think there would be few. nightclubs here that wish they could reopen. it nightclubs here that wish they could reo en. , . ., nightclubs here that wish they could reoen. , . ., , reopen. it is nice to see those pictures. _ reopen. it is nice to see those pictures. even _ reopen. it is nice to see those pictures, even vicariously, - reopen. it is nice to see those - pictures, even vicariously, watching people have a good time. here's with the weather. ida people have a good time. here's with the weather-— the weather. no social media in those days- _ the weather. no social media in those days. this _ the weather. no social media in those days. this is _ the weather. no social media in those days. this is the -

gina coladangelo in his ministerial office last month. it leads its sunday edition with the headline: "matt finished." it labels the former minister a "hypocrite" over his breach of social distancing guidance, and reports that mr hancock and his wife of 15 years, martha, have split following the revelations. i missed that pun, roger, thank you for pointing it out. 'humiliated hancock quits' — is how the sunday times reports the story. pretty straightforward. the paper says details of mr hancock's separation from his wife have "enraged" party members in his west suffolk constituency, adding that conservative insiders predict he might be deselected as an mp at the next election. the mail on sunday reports that a friend of mr hancock told the paper that he and gina coladangelo were "in love". the friend said: "it all started in may, but it is serious." and according to the observer, mr hancock's departure comes after a "day of humiliation". the paper says senior conservatives
6:24 am

the game finished 2—i. there was an extraordinary climax to the english domestic rugby season as harlequins were crowned champions for the first time in nine years. two late tries from winger louis lynagh helped his side to a a0 points to 38 victory over exeter in front of 10,000 fans at twickenham. elsewhere though, bad news for british and irish lions captain alun wyn jones, who won't travel with the team to south africa after dislocating his shoulder. the injury overshadowed the lions' 28—10 win overjapan yesterday. ireland's conor murray has been named as replacement captain for the tour. there was a moving moment before the lions' match at murrayfield — the former scotland lock doddie weir, who played for the lions on the 1997 tour and has motor neurone disease, was clapped into the stadium by the lions trekkers, including his former team—mates. olympic qualification is on the line at the british athletics championships in manchester this weekend. dina asher—smith won the final of the 100m. asher—smith ran herfastest time of the season in the semis and thought she'd improved upon her british record in the final, but the timing

as we were hearing a moment ago from roger, a chaotic start of this year's tour de france. two big crashes in the last 30 miles. the first was caused by a spectator who seem to be trying to get a picture while holding a cardboard sign. the second was inside the last five miles. chris froome, making his tour comeback, was one of many riders affected. world championjulian alaphilppe won the stage and will wear the yellowjersey in today's second stage. geraint thomas finished safely in the group behind along with most of the favourites. that sign that we saw there, i mean, the tour de france organisers are very much looking for the person who held it up. it is an endearing term for grandparents i'm told that was written on the sign. fill. for grandparents i'm told that was written on the sign.— written on the sign. 0h, getting a selve for written on the sign. 0h, getting a selvey for grandad. _ written on the sign. 0h, getting a selvey for grandad. they - written on the sign. 0h, getting a selvey for grandad. they are - written on the sign. 0h, getting a selvey for grandad. they are not l selvey for grandad. they are not ha - . selvey for grandad. they are not happy- -- _ selvey for grandad. they are not happy- -- selfie- _

so let's kick things off with a trip rajan made to the deep south of america, back in 2016. now, he was there to learn about a style of music called zydeco, but little did he know that he'd end up performing in front of thousands before the day was over. so, let's take a look at how he got on. that is new orleans, exactly how i imagined it. a brass band going down the street a the whole crowd following them, getting into the vibe. fantastic! now, the city might be best known for jazz, but you can also find a type of music here that i've never encountered before. chubby carrier is a grammy award winner and a third—generation of legendary zydeco—playing family.
6:40 am
—— of a legendary zydeco—playing family. the music, zydeco. tell me about it? zydeco music, a lot of people get mixed up with cajun music, but if you hear zydeco music, you hear more of blues, r&b, soul and rock 'n' roll, mixed into one. this, he says, is the expression of louisiana's black creole community. that's a bit of african, a bit of french and some caribbean all mixed up. and apart from the accordion, chubby says the essential instrument in the zydeco sound is the one that evolved from his grandmother's washboard. this is my grandmother's washing machine! a washing machine? this was her washing machine back in the day! and you hear the rhythms? the buttons on your shirt would make a little sound like this, and my grandmother was washing clothes at the time, and of course my daddy goes "hey!
6:41 am
"that sounds good! "it might fit with the accordion! "bring it over here!" she said "you must be out of your mind — this is how i do my laundry!" you should try it, man, yeah. yes, yes, yes. look at that. it's our percussion in zydeco. you have the rhythm going like this. that's it! yeah? when you hit the board, you lose it. why? i don't know. laughter. the streets are packed and there's a jubilant atmosphere here. # shake it, pretty lady. i feel lucky to have a ringside view. because when we point that camera to ya, i want you to shaking your booty like your mama gave it to you! cheering. we're going to send this to monday and let 'em now how we do it in new orleans! yeah!

6:44 am
covered by this water filter. so i think somehow, the audience — i think they are there, at least on an unconscious level. they'll have a flashback to hearing those sounds. so, as performers, how does it feel when you are underwater, performing to an audience? it gets really somehow — someone says a loneliness to it. that there is not only a visual loneliness to see these humans in the tanks, but also the sound has a loneliness to it. i think it is quite a nice idea. ooh! so, here goes. one deep breath and... well, actually, this is quite nice. amazing! you are doing good!
6:45 am
it's it�*s really— it's really— it's lovely and yeah, this is great! so, if you take this microphone that's hanging and then you hit this bell plate. this one here? yeah. and then you take the microphone and put it towards it. 0h! can you hear that effect? amazing. then you can sort of play with it. i'm beginning to think i'm a bit of a natural! and then maybe you should just pull that in the front window. and then you can sort of — if you hit it with the hammer, and then you can, like, close the sound with your hand. another thing, if you take the — there's a small stick. yeah. and you can use that for the ring over there. with the holes in it.

0h, 0k. banging drums that is so cool! you're making music! woo hoo! applause. it's amazing. you have these hammers that are... when you hit, you feel it resonate through the whole tank and you feel it in your chest and your whole body. it's amazing. it's a totally different experience than just hanging a bell with a hammer. yep! christa there, getting her a avant—garde groove on, back in 2018. well, stay with us, because we've plenty more still to come here on the travel show. i'm
6:47 am
m ixin 9 ! including the time ade raised the roof at london's ministry of sound nightclub. and rajan's knees took a battering at one of the most bizarre festivals we've ever seen in germany. well, nightlife around the world has taken a massive hit during the pandemic. in many places, nightclubs were amongst the first to be forced to shut down and looks like they'll be among the last to finally reopen again. now, if you're missing your clubbing fix, take a look at this. a film from back in 2017 when ade got the chance to learn how to master the decks at one of the most famous clubs in the world. ministry of sound is celebrating 25 years. i can't believe it, 'cause i came here in the early days. this first started off as a small club in a derelict garage, and has now become a massive global brand. in fact, at one stage it owned the biggest independent record label
6:48 am
in the world, selling over 70 million records. hey! ministry of sound was london's first—ever super club, and has survived a number of attempts to shut it down. justin berkmann is one of the founders. he's also one of its resident djs, so i am in good hands for this dj lesson. you have your volume controls here, your highs, mids and lows, so this is the big bass knob. give it a little bit of sibilance, strip it out, bring that down. with the technology today, it gives you much more flexibility to take risks and do things that you couldn't do in the old days with vinyl. so could you put, like, a classic opera track with some hip—hop? yes. beethoven wrote most of his music at 120 bpm, so he was one of the first house dj. ah, beethoven knew what he was talking about,
6:49 am
he dropped beats! he did, a lot of his stuff was dance music. all right, let's do this then. one, two, three, four. bingo. imixing! now time to see if all that training has worked. it's the moment of truth. i tell you what i will say, it is very loud in here. dance music plays. i'm in the dj box with gavin mitchell, he's the resident dj and promoterfor the gallery, which takes place every friday at the club. fortunately, it is still early, so the pressure is off a bit and i'm getting the hang of things.
6:50 am
by the end of the night, i've got the house rocking! i think all clubs have their nemesis moment where there comes something along that wants to close it. it's usually residents, and it is the balance between city and the fact that it needs some form of entertainment. you can't have one without the other, because a city full of bedrooms is no fun, so you have to have nightclubs, you have to have restaurants, you have to have bars you have to have entertainment. ade at the ministry of sound back in 2017. time now for something a little more sedate. back in 2018, carmen headed to taiwan to explore a gigantic new art centre about to reopen, claiming to be the biggest in the world. and in amongst the massive performance and exhibition spaces, she got to fulfil one of my childhood dreams, playing one of those huge dramatic pipe organs. yeah, i'm pretty
6:51 am
jealous of that one. this is the weiwuying, taiwan's brand new national art centre. the centre has been built to become a fixture on the international performance circuit. so this might look like a big empty warehouse, but we are actually backstage at one of the more intimate auditoriums here, it can seat around 1,200 people. the centre will stage its own performances, and host international touring productions. the weiwuying has four main stages — an opera house, a concert hall, a playhouse and a recital hall. pipe organ plays.
6:52 am
this splendid venue can seat over 2,000 people. after rehearsal, organist tony kindly offered to show me the pride of the concert hall. wow, tony, that was amazing. thank you so much. what does it feel like to play such a magnificent instrument? it is very exciting because i can make any kind of music in here. and... the high pitch here. 0h! and... the high pitch here. ooh! like birds. and the very, very low, we do have very, very low pipes. you can hear the entire house vibrating. how many keyboards are there here, there are five keyboards,
6:53 am
and 127 buttons, not to mention all these cords down the bottom. i do have to spend a lot of time to practise. this one is brand—new organ, and also i believe it is the biggest one in entire asia's concert hall. wow, the biggest pipe organ in asia. what a privilege to play it. do you want to play it? 0k.. i haven't played in 20 years! plays heart and soul. thank you, tony!
6:54 am
you're such a good sport, to humour me! carmen roberts accepting bookings to play to packed concert halls all around the world as soon as travel kicks back in. well, maybe after a bit more practice. 0k! so to finish off this week we are off to germany, where, back in 2016, rajan headed to bavaria to learn how to play one of the strangest musical instruments i've ever seen. now, if you're thinking about taking this one up, i'd highly recommend some earplugs and knee pads. you'll see what i mean. the festival takes place in the town of rinchnach, and celebrates the ancient custom of herdsmen ringing bells to scare wolves away. hans is one of the organisers. these other famous bells have heard about.
6:55 am
tonight, hundreds of local people will form teams of bell—ringers, and i'mjoining in too, a rare privilege for a non—bavarian. first, i need the right outfit. and what is the point of these twigs? i look like a christmas tree. the headgear pales into insignificance once i realise i'll be lugging this 20kg bell around. so heavy, it's ridiculous!
6:56 am
ok, so i'm taking this bell over here and i think this will be the bavarian people doing it as well. did you hear me coming by any chance? so you two are also taking part this year? fantastic. how big a night is this for you? i think it's the biggest night of the year, something like this. yeah, nowhere else is something like this, and so, yeah, we're very proud of it, and we also want to take part of it. have you ever thought about wearing earplugs? oh yes i have them! you have them! you have two. it's impossible without them. i'll bear that in mind,
6:57 am
that's really good advice. banging on bells i join the rest of the team as we head towards the town centre. nothing could have prepared me for the incredible din that's generated heaving these enormous bells around. i'm trying not to use my knees but it's almost impossible. they feel battered and bruised already. we're greeted by a huge crowd of tourists and locals. hans' son dominik is the flamboyant leader, rousing the troops, leading the beat... and conducting the cacophony.
6:58 am
luckily for me, after half—an—hour, dominik calls time for a much needed break. wow! that was one of the most physically intensive things i have ever done. amazing. tribal, but great. and i deserve this. rajan in 2016, and those bells looks just crazy, i'm sure there is some new form of exercise routine just waiting
6:59 am
to he invented, because it looks like a total workout carrying those bells strapped to your waist, let alone playing them. that's it for this week, but do join us next week if you can, when: it's my turn behind the wheel of our travel show van for the next stage in our road recovery trip across the uk. i'll be in wales, exploring cardiff and beyond, and finding out how this furry rodent is helping the fight against climate change. that's next week, but don't forget to check us out on social media for a whole host of inspirational ideas of things to see and do when we can all travel again, which hopefully won't be too far away. till next time though, from me, lucy hedges, and everyone else here on the show, it's goodbye.
7:00 am
and then you can, like, close the sound with your hand. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and nina warhurst. our headlines today: after the revelations of kissing a colleague in his office, the health secretary matt hancock resigns with an apology for breaching coronavirus guidance. 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. downing street moves quickly, putting former chancellor sajid javid in charge at the department of health. grabajab: half of all adults under 30 in england will have had their first covid vaccine
7:01 am
by the end of the day. disappointment for wales as defeat to denmark means they're out of the euros and on their way home. it was a very emotional game and, yeah, it's really sad that it — the campaign had to finish like that. the reality hit home that, you know, we're a small nation and as passionate and proud as we are, we're picking from a small pool. and while for many of you it will be a dry day, a little bit of sunshine, feeling pleasantly warm across some southern counties of england and later, south wales will some heavy and potentially thundery rain. i'll have the details here on breakfast. it's sunday 27th june. our top story: former chancellor sajid javid says he's "honoured" to be appointed health secretary. it follows matt hancock's resignation after he breached social distancing guidance by sharing an intimate embrace with a colleague. he had the support of the prime minister, but faced growing pressure from his own conservative colleagues to step down.
7:02 am
here's our political correspondent ben wright. one of the most familiar faces of the pandemic, the health secretary at the heart of decision—making as the country battled covid. and often seen at his side was this woman, gina coladangelo — a former lobbyist, adviser to the health secretary and long—term friend. but on friday came this image of them kissing in matt hancock's office, breaking, as he admitted, the government's own covid guidelines and plunging his own career into crisis. last night, he quit. 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. matt hancock hoped to ride out this storm — a cabinet minister with big ambition, who had the backing of the prime minister. number 10 considered this matter closed and it was mr hancock who decided to step down. what's been clear over the last 2a
7:03 am
hours is that for a sizeable minority, or even a majority of the public, they no longer had confidence in matt hancock. it wasn't the affair, it was the apparent hypocrisy of being someone who'd made the rules but then broke their own rules. there was another big problem. last september, gina coladangelo was appointed to the board that oversees the department of health on a taxpayer—funded salary. the government said the appointment rules were followed, but labour demanded an investigation. mrs coladangelo stepped down from her role. it wasn't the first time matt hancock had been under pressure in recent weeks. the prime minister's former aide dominic cummings ripped into mr hancock's performance during the pandemic... the secretary of state for health should have been fired for at least 15, 20 things — including lying to everybody. ..later releasing whatsapp messages that showed boris johnson calling the health secretary "totally hopeless". recently, the queen
7:04 am
seemed sympathetic. and matt hancock strongly rejected dominic cummings' allegations. man: you're hopeless, mr hancock! i don't think so! reporter: morning, mrjavid! the former chancellor sajid javid now returns to the cabinet as the new health secretary, taking over during a pandemic that is not yet over. thank you very much indeed. in his resignation letter, matt hancock apologised to his family for putting them through all of this. a spokesman declined to comment, but tonight it's understood mr hancock has also left his wife. ben wright, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent helen catt. there was a growing sense of inevitability here but he jumped, he was not pushed. inevitability here but he 'umped, he was not pushedh was not pushed. absolutely, it was clear he would _ was not pushed. absolutely, it was clear he would have _ was not pushed. absolutely, it was clear he would have --it _ was not pushed. absolutely, it was clear he would have --it would - was not pushed. absolutely, it wasl clear he would have --it would have clear he would have ——it would have been extremely difficult for matt hancock to continue as health secretary after he had admitted breaching those guidelines, that he
7:05 am
helped to set and promote. but he did have the prime minister's backing so this was matt hancock's decision to go and i think it is fair to say that he was certainly helped to come to the conclusion by other conservative mps and there were private chats happening with the minister and senior conservatives on friday with mr hancock and cindy conservatives on friday saying his position was not sustainable and tenable and there's the thought that if you think how many times listed at the podium in downing street at the despatch box in the commons and told us about more restrictions on our lives and how we need to follow them, i think the feeling was if he needed to do that again it would not have the credibility to be able to do that. keir starmer the labour leader said matt hancock was right to resign but that boris johnson matt hancock was right to resign but that borisjohnson should have fired him and there are others who are questioning the prime minister's judgement, saying if you've got senior tory saying this was a political inevitability, i did not the prime minister get that too? some may see it as admirable loyalty to those he has appointed but others
7:06 am
may say it is serious misjudgment. sajid javid has been appointed the new health secretary. a toughjob a tough job to walk into. incredibly a tough 'ob to walk into. incredibly touch a tough job to walk into. incredibly touch at a tough job to walk into. incredibly tough at the _ a tough job to walk into. incredibly tough at the moment. _ a tough job to walk into. incredibly tough at the moment. he - a tough job to walk into. incredibly tough at the moment. he sold - a tough job to walk into. incredibly l tough at the moment. he sold some a tough job to walk into. incredibly - tough at the moment. he sold some of the roles in government that in usual times would be higher profile, is like chancellor and home secretary, but as i've mentioned, with the things like the downing street briefings, the health secretary role has become incredibly prominent over the last year and he's walking into an awful lot so as you said he's honoured to have been asked to serve as the secretary of state for health and is looking forward to contributing to the fight against the pandemic and serving the country in cabinet again and he has some pretty big decisions coming up quite swiftly, the review point of whether to lift the final restrictions in england, coming up at that point, at the fifth ofjuly and looking forward to the winter they need to be more restrictions coming back in then and then of course beyond the pandemic, things like the impact on the nhs and coming up with a plan for social care. ., ., ., ,, coming up with a plan for social care. ., ., ., _ .,, coming up with a plan for social care. ., ., ., , care. not an easy 'ob. helen, many thanks.
7:07 am
one of his jobs will be to oversee the vaccination programme, of course. half of all adults aged under 30 in england will have received a first dose of a covid—19 vaccine by the end of today. more than a.2 million people aged between 18 and 29 have now had a jab. our health correspondent catherine burns reports. drop in, pop—up, grab ajab — whatever you call it, the government is making it as easy as possible for people to get their vaccines. so the message is this weekend, any adult in england can turn up for theirs without booking. it's happening in venues up and down the country, from shopping centres and theatres to stadiums, including the emirates. i feel amazing. to finally get this jab is actually amazing. like, it's been anticipated for, like, a few months now about the covid jab and stuff like that. and to be honest, it feels amazing to actually get the covid jab and just feel free! just had it. it was great — it was quite quick. i walked in and it was about a 15—minute wait.
7:08 am
the staff were super nice. yeah, lovely — a lovely experience. i feel fantastic. it's great to come out, i great to come to arsenal, my home club, and to support the vaccine rollout and get - my first jab. at the front of the queue after about a 30—minute wait here at the emirates stadium, they are injecting about 20 people every five minutes, which is quite a pace, but they have set themselves quite a target — to do 10,000 over four days. you will hear authorities calling this latest effort "a final drive", "a race to the finish line", but it's as important as ever because as the number of people being vaccinated is rising, so, too, our cases — more than 98,000 people have tested positive in the last week. this vaccine is our best chance of getting protected and getting back to the lives that we love and we have missed so much and i'm blown away by everybody�*s commitment to that — coming forward when it's their turn to get protected.
7:09 am
and it's notjust about slowing down transmission of this awful virus, but it's, most importantly, about stopping people having to go into hospital and dying. the gap between high levels of infections and relatively low numbers in hospital or dying shows the real—life impact of vaccines and explains again exactly why ministers are so keen to make it easy for us. catherine burns, bbc news. safety checks have been ordered on all buildings of a similar age to an apartment building in miami which collapsed on thursday, killing at least five people. it's emerged there'd been warnings three years ago about the building's structural safety. rescuers searching for survivors say their efforts are being hampered by fires which have broken out in the rubble. more than 150 people are still missing. ibiza's nightclubs are expected to reopen in mid july, after the balearic islands were added to the government's green list of quarantine travel destinations.
7:10 am
a trial event has been taking place this weekend to see if there's a safe way to welcome tourists back to the island. our foreign correspondent anna holliganjoins us now from ibiza. it looks like a lovely morning, i have to say, anna, we are all rather jealous. anna, how has this test event been received? it could be just a few days before brits are back on these rocky beaches, swimming in the mediterranean sea, because of course from wednesday, anyone travelling here from the uk will not have to quarantine on their return and actually when people come at the moment, they don't have to show a negative pcr test or even show that they have been double vaccinated so of course, people come for the beaches, the wildlife but really, ibiza is the party capital of the worlds of the club scene is really gearing up now and this test event, it was for key workers, actually, to thank them for looking after the island during the crisis. 3000 people, it was hoped, could attend,
7:11 am
1500 given tickets to get in, they needed to show a negative test and they were allowed to dance only on they were allowed to dance only on the dance floor but they could drink around the bars and they had to wear masks while dancing and if this is a success and the results will be known in a fortnight, it's hoped it could provide the model for the reopening of this island entire club scene. thank you very much, anna. let's look at the front pages. one story dominates. as expected, matt hancock's resignation as health secretary dominates the sunday papers. the sun leads its sunday edition with the headline "matt finished". "humiliated hancock quits" — is how the sunday times reports the story. the paper says details of mr hancock's separation from his wife have "enraged" party members in his west suffolk constituency, adding that conservative insiders predict he might be deselected as an mp at the next election. the mail on sunday reports that a friend of mr hancock told
7:12 am
the paper that he and gina coladangelo were "in love". the friend said "it all started in may, but it is serious". and according to the observer, mr hancock's departure comes after a "day of humiliation". we're joined now by the conservative political commentator tim montgomerie. a very good morning to you. what did you make of the resignation video? i you make of the resignation video? i thought it was the right tone. it was disappointing that matt hancock did not resign perhaps 2a hours earlier. i think it would have nipped the whole thing in the bud that little bit more quickly. but he did do the right thing in the end and i think that's good for the authority of the government's covid—19 policy and it's also good for the general standing of the
7:13 am
government because i feel we were getting to the position where it almost seemed that government ministers did not resign, whatever they did. i ministers did not resign, whatever the did. ., i ministers did not resign, whatever they did._ i think- ministers did not resign, whatever they did._ i think is - ministers did not resign, whatever they did._ i think is at - ministers did not resign, whatever they did._ i think is at a l they did. i mean... i think is at a better example _ they did. i mean... i think is at a better example than _ they did. i mean... i think is at a better example than others - they did. i mean... i think is at a better example than others in i they did. i mean... i think is at a| better example than others in his party. better example than others in his la . ., better example than others in his party. you say you admire the cold -- the tone _ party. you say you admire the cold -- the tone of— party. you say you admire the cold -- the tone of the _ party. you say you admire the cold -- the tone of the video _ party. you say you admire the cold -- the tone of the video but i party. you say you admire the cold -- the tone of the video but if i party. you say you admire the cold -- the tone of the video but if you| —— the tone of the video but if you are a nurse who worked tirelessly for the nhs over the course of the pandemic and you have not seen your relatives for a year, for example, as references, did they not ring hollow to you, for example, paying tribute to nhs staff? l hollow to you, for example, paying tribute to nhs staff?— tribute to nhs staff? i don't know, from friday — tribute to nhs staff? i don't know, from friday onwards, _ tribute to nhs staff? i don't know, from friday onwards, including i tribute to nhs staff? i don't know, from friday onwards, including on| from friday onwards, including on many items on the bbc, i called for matt hancock to go. i think he did make a big mistake in contravening the rules that he helped design and, yes, lots of people have made huge sacrifices, not least young people who were told by matt hancock not to pursue relationships in the way that they normally would! and yet, he was pursuing one of his own. so yes, of course he had to resign. but i think
7:14 am
it was perfectly appropriate for him to pay tribute to nhs staff in the way that he did and yes, he's made mistakes, like every health minister, every government in the world's has made mistakes in fighting covid but britain has the most successful of vaccine rollouts, he's done some really good things as well so i think a little bit of goodwill towards him might be in order this morning.— goodwill towards him might be in order this morning. well, except if eve one order this morning. well, except if everyone behaved _ order this morning. well, except if everyone behaved in _ order this morning. well, except if everyone behaved in the _ order this morning. well, except if everyone behaved in the way i order this morning. well, except if everyone behaved in the way that l order this morning. well, except if l everyone behaved in the way that he had they would have been a lot more pressure on the nhs so goodwill is stretched at the moment. yes. and that is why — stretched at the moment. yes. and that is why he _ stretched at the moment. yes. and that is why he had _ stretched at the moment. yes. and that is why he had to _ stretched at the moment. yes. and that is why he had to go. _ stretched at the moment. yes. and that is why he had to go. i - stretched at the moment. yes. and that is why he had to go. i called i that is why he had to go. i called for him to go. but once he has now done the right thing in resigning, i think we need to just draw something of a line under it because there's plenty of other challenges facing the country and certainly many challenges facing his successor sajid javid and even if the pandemic ended tomorrow, and that's not going to be the case, the huge backlog of
7:15 am
nhs treatments, cancer diagnosis, treatment of heart disease, real mental health problems amongst people who have been suffering from lockdown, and so much to do and i think that's where the focus should be now. also a focus, with what happened with dominic cummings. the premises they no to make the rules has to stick by them. the prime minister failing to sack him. implicit in thatis failing to sack him. implicit in that is he does not believe that stop i —— believe that. l that is he does not believe that stop i -- believe that.- stop i -- believe that. ithink boris johnson _ stop i -- believe that. ithink boris johnson should - stop i -- believe that. ithink boris johnson should have i stop i -- believe that. i think i boris johnson should have asked for borisjohnson should have asked for his resignation as soon as it became clear the details of what happened in his personal life. why boris johnson didn't call the resignation, i'm not sure, but it was very obvious from ominous silence of conservative mps. only two may have called for him to go but they were very, very few people. —— giving
7:16 am
their support. grassroots, conservative, overwhelming opinion polling from the public was absolutely clear that he had to go. and i think borisjohnson got it wrong on this occasion and he needs to reflect on perhaps being a little bit too indulgent of his ministers and he needs to perhaps take a tougher line, otherwise standards will drop, notjust in relation to covid but across his government. find covid but across his government. and also in danger of looking like he doesn't know his own mind. the reappointment of javid into doesn't know his own mind. the reappointment ofjavid into a senior post after he left because of his opinions about dominic cummings. what is it say about the prime minister bringing him back after he was unwilling to stand with him before? i was unwilling to stand with him before? ., , ., , was unwilling to stand with him before? .,, ., , , before? i was a very good friend big -- at university _ before? i was a very good friend big -- at university so _ before? i was a very good friend big -- at university so i'm _ before? i was a very good friend big -- at university so i'm not— before? i was a very good friend big -- at university so i'm not going i before? i was a very good friend big -- at university so i'm not going to| —— at university so i'm not going to give you a personal commentary. sajid javid was the first conservative to recognise dominic cummings was a loose cannon. while
7:17 am
he might have good insights into certain policy areas, he was trying to dominate every aspect of the government, he had no respect for other people. sajid javid told boris johnson at the time of his resignation that this was a disaster in the making, and i think boris johnson now knows with retrospect that sajid javid was right and he should have listened to him at the time. he shouldn't have been forced to go as chancellor and at least iris johnson to go as chancellor and at least irisjohnson is now, he could have pretended that nothing happened and he was never going to bring sergeant back but he has now —— sajid javid back. but he has now given him the opportunity to come back and that is borisjohnson admitting he made a mistake. it is important to make it right. mistake. it is important to make it riuht. ., ., right. one of the most important 'obs and right. one of the most important jobs and cabinet _ right. one of the most important jobs and cabinet at _ right. one of the most important jobs and cabinet at the _ right. one of the most important jobs and cabinet at the moment. i right. one of the most important i jobs and cabinet at the moment. many thanks. we will talk to mp and a conservative mp about this later in the programme. now let's catch up with the weather forecast was

7:25 am
it was a combination of factors. clear that the vaccination programme and surging that has been the one single factor that has made the biggest difference for us. br; single factor that has made the biggest difference for us. by making the vaccine more _ biggest difference for us. by making the vaccine more accessible, - biggest difference for us. by making the vaccine more accessible, the i biggest difference for us. by making the vaccine more accessible, the big event at twickenham, for example, but also smaller pop—up events in different communities. we but also smaller pop-up events in different communities.— different communities. we did a combination _ different communities. we did a combination of— different communities. we did a combination of that. _ different communities. we did a combination of that. clearly i combination of that. clearly twickenham was the big launch event and i stopped —— as doc elliejust said, it can appeal to particularly younger people. we did 11,000 people of which 68% were from hounslow which was quite staggering. the other thing to pick up on was in relation to the walkins. nearly 2500 were unregistered people and these are groups within our communities that we need to tackle. but it is that we need to tackle. but it is that and a combination of local trusted places. for example, every
7:26 am
week we have been having pop—ups at the local gurdwara. she has absolutely owned that venue and we have been doing 1500 people there and then the mosque at wellington road plus. these are trusted communities and they have done all of that work at these venues and all we had to do was prefer —— provide some clinicians but the community are probably the best and effects over the last five weeks.- are probably the best and effects over the last five weeks. having the community leaders _ over the last five weeks. having the community leaders at _ over the last five weeks. having the community leaders at the _ over the last five weeks. having the community leaders at the forefront| community leaders at the forefront of encouraging people. there is a danger, though, now, the. —— the numbers have on down. the people perhaps become complacent. how do you reengage people and make sure they realise it is not over yet? i they realise it is not over yet? i think there is two things they realise it is not over yet? i think there is two things there. one is that we became on monday last
7:27 am
week... we have seen as much attendance at vaccination centres this week as we have seen in the previous four weeks. i think that as we ease out of lockdown, the messages are going to have to be really, really clear, that this is not over. there is a lot of inconsistency at the moment in terms of messaging nationally which we have to ensure that people understand locally and building those reminders about fresh air, and if you are offered a vaccination please access it. we still have a lot of way to go and still have a lot of way to go and still have a lot of way to go and still have a lot of work to do to deliver an effective population.- effective population. from experience. _ effective population. from experience, i— effective population. from experience, i would i effective population. from experience, i would ask i effective population. froml experience, i would ask you effective population. from i experience, i would ask you to comment specifically on that resignation of the health secretary, but when you see someone in his position who break the rule, what is the impact on grassroots level? does it have any impact on the way that the public engage with public health policy messaging? {line

7:29 am
let's pick up on the story, that resignation of the health secretary matt hancock. he said that those of us who make the rules have to stick by them when he announced his departure. mr hancock stepped down after breaching social distancing timeline —— guidance by being caught in an embrace. conservative mp andrew bridgenjoins us now. thank you for your time and much appreciated. on friday, you said there is a lot of goodwill for matt hancock and i'd like to see him see at the end of the pandemic. have you changed your mind now? i also at the end of the pandemic. have you changed your mind now?— changed your mind now? i also said that if matt — changed your mind now? i also said that if matt hancock _ changed your mind now? i also said that if matt hancock felt _ changed your mind now? i also said that if matt hancock felt the - that if matt hancock felt the situation he was in was going to affect his ability to perform his job then he should resign and if the prime ministerfelt that job then he should resign and if the prime minister felt that it was affecting his performance on the job then he should fire him. affecting his performance on the 'ob then he should fire him. crosstalk.
7:30 am
matt hancock — then he should fire him. crosstalk. matt hancock did _ then he should fire him. crosstalk. matt hancock did exactly _ then he should fire him. crosstalk. matt hancock did exactly the - then he should fire him. crosstalk. matt hancock did exactly the right i matt hancock did exactly the right thing for the country, the people, the department of health and the government. it's ok to have the confidence of the prime minister and government but if you are a cabinet minister you have to have the confidence of the people and the public and especially if you are the health secretary during a pandemic and clearly, over the last 2a hours, he'd lost that confidence. it made his position completely untenable. and what have people been saying to you, people in your constituency, people you have been talking about, with a all calling for him to go? yes. i think the people have made huge sacrifices to the pandemic and what riles them is the whiff of hypocrisy that people make the rules and don't stick to them themselves, whether that's the g7 flying in with our quarantine or 2500 so—called vips coming in for a football match
7:31 am
and the best way to resolve that now is to get the freedoms back but the people had before, release us from the lockdown measures on the 19th of july, the lockdown measures on the 19th of july, but to do that we really need a health secretary who has the confidence of the public to finish this off once and for all. harper this off once and for all. how damaging — this off once and for all. how damaging has _ this off once and for all. how damaging has this _ this off once and for all. how damaging has this been i this off once and for all. how damaging has this been for the conservative party, notjust as you just said, one rule for them and anotherfor just said, one rule for them and another for us? just said, one rule for them and anotherfor us? and also just said, one rule for them and another for us? and also the cronyism, but he appointed an old university friend to a taxpayerjob, whether due process was followed or not, we don't know, but cronyism is something that is notjust held matt hancock with his old pub landlord getting a contract but the conservative party in general in recent months. i conservative party in general in recent months.— recent months. i followed jon ashworth _ recent months. i followed jon ashworth on _ recent months. i followed jon ashworth on the _ recent months. i followed jon ashworth on the media i recent months. i followed jon ashworth on the media last i recent months. i followed jon i ashworth on the media last night recent months. i followed jon - ashworth on the media last night and he was trying to scramble onto the mile high ground over calling for matt hancock's head but i could not let him get away without because
7:32 am
very early in the lockdown, the labour mayor of leicester peter soulsby repeatedly broke the lockdown to visit his lady friend, and leicester as you know is a city that was first into the local lockdown, probably suffered longer than any city in the uk, and i did not hearjon ashworth or anyone from the labour party suggesting for one minute that sir peter should resign so there is a fair amount of hypocrisy from the opposition over that and matt hancock has done the right thing, the right thing for his apartment, the country and the government and i'm pleased to have come to that decision and now we need to move on.— come to that decision and now we need to move on. sorry to interrupt but to pick — need to move on. sorry to interrupt but to pick up _ need to move on. sorry to interrupt but to pick up on — need to move on. sorry to interrupt but to pick up on what _ need to move on. sorry to interrupt but to pick up on what you - need to move on. sorry to interrupt but to pick up on what you said, i but to pick up on what you said, whatever the colour of the politician, whether they are labour, conservative, smp, however, you can see when people have stuck to the rules for the last 18 months, you can see why people get so angry when the people making the rules aren't sticking to them themselves —— snp.
7:33 am
absolutely. i was on a litter pick with some constituents on friday night and it was all the talk, all about i spent saturday up in battersby ben helping up with the by—election and it was an issue raised and clearly the media were not going to let go, it was going to grow and also dissatisfaction and lack of confidence in the secretary of state was going to increase which made his position clearly untenable. the prime minister endorsed him on the saturday morning but things have changed since then and loyalty is normally seen as a virtue and i think in this case it was probably a little early and slightly misplaced. i will ask you about sajid javid in a moment but some thoughts on this and the leak of the cctv from a camera inside the department of health. presumably there is now an investigation into how that came into the hands of a national newspaper. into the hands of a national newspaper-— into the hands of a national newspaper. into the hands of a national news--aer. ~ . , ., newspaper. what is your view on that? clearly _

7:36 am
his future whether he might actually retire from international duty but he was not having any of that. for him to ask those questions so it remains to be seen but huge disappointment, on the way home from 2020 after being knocked out by denmark such a motion after seeing christian eriksen�*s cardiac arrest in the opening game so a good comeback. but for wales, the competition is over, as hywel griffith reports from amsterdam. 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. so lucky. incredibly lucky. it's not about plan b. i wouldn't want to do anything else other than get married than being here. we feel really, really lucky to be one of the really, tiny, small minority of wales fans that are actually here today. denmark also had loved ones that could not be here. wales, outnumbered again, started well, getting the ball
7:37 am
to bale, but unable to make it count. denmark changed tack and found their flow. now, wales were frustrated as the pressure built. and as kasper dolberg cut inside, it broke wales's spirit. commentator: denmark strikes first! from holland to back home. crowd reacts. wales needed to find a way to disrupt denmark's dominance. instead, they faltered and dolberg doubled the lead. it's a terrible clearance! it's 2-0! there was no choice. wales threw everything at it but simply could not turn the tide. and that is the end for wales! a fourth felt cruel. the final whistle perhaps a relief for everyone. they don't deserve to end the tournament in that way. to get to the competition itself was a great achievement for the group of players. to get out the group was an even bigger achievement. and, like i said, they're a great group and they don't deserve
7:38 am
to leave the tournament in that manner. we were the better team for 25 minutes — by far the better team for 20 minutes — 25 minutes. having criss—crossed the continent, wales have reached the end of the road and are heading home, proud but outplayed by a danish team who, after the most difficult start to this tournament, are living a football fairytale. hywel griffith, bbc news. italy are through to the quarterfinals, although they left it very late against austria. 0—0 after 90 minutes, it took two goals in extra time to see them through to the quarterfinals. the game finished 2—1. there was an extraordinary climax to the english domestic rugby season as harlequins were crowned champions for the first time in nine years. two late tries from winger louis lynagh helped his side to a a0 points to 38 victory over exeter in front of 10,000 fans at twickenham. elsewhere, though, bad news for british and irish lions captain alun wyn jones, who won't travel with the team to south africa after dislocating his shoulder.
7:39 am
the injury overshadowed the lions' 28—10 win overjapan yesterday. ireland's conor murray has been named as replacement captain for the tour. olympic qualification is on the line at the british athletics championships in manchester this weekend. dina asher—smith won the final of the 100m. asher—smith ran herfastest time of the season in the semis and thought she'd improved upon her british record in the final, but the timing was incorrect and was adjusted back. asha philip came second. both runners are bound for tokyo. for the second sunday in a row, lewis hamilton will be trying to catch max verstappen after the dutchman claimed pole for the styrian grand prix in austria. the championship leader was almost a 0.25 seconds quicker than hamilton who'll start from second, ahead of fellow briton lando norris, who's third. there was a chaotic start to this year's tour de france with two big crashes in the last 30 miles. the first was caused by a spectator who seem to be trying to get a picture while holding a cardboard sign. look at the top left of the screen here. the second was inside the last five

7:46 am
sunshine —— temperatures reach 21-22. sunshine —— temperatures reach 21—22. overnight, the showers will become even more intense around the bristol channel. away from that, fresher here compared with humid conditions we will start with towards the south and east. humid air working away around. it sits across northern france. keep on throwing up bands of cloud, bands of rain at times which doesn't bode well for that first few days of wimbledon. there will be some dry weather as they will be tomorrow with a few glimpses of sunshine that even though it looks quite optimistic there, showers will never be too far away. some of which during the afternoon could be heavy and boundary. into tomorrow, the wettest to begin with will be in parts of the midlands and wales. turning dry and bright here for a time and then showers and thunderstorms breaking out across southern counties. we see more
7:47 am
sunshine and the temperatures climbed up bit more. into tomorrow evening, showers and thunderstorms keep on going across southern areas and another batch works into the night and into tuesday so it could be even wetter for some across parts of east anglia, the midlands, southern england and eventually wales and the south—west. far north of england, wales and northern ireland, temperatures of around 2a degrees. a little bit higher than we should be for the time of year and nowhere near as high as the record raking heat we have seen across eastern parts will stop these countries or brokerages forjune —— temperature records forjune. an exceptional heatwave in the west of canada, northwest united states. 43 degrees, could break the canada record for the whole year over the next few days as the heat continues and as you see, well into the 40s for many exceptional. —— for many. exceptional is just one word for it.
7:48 am
wow. that is supposed to be a ski resort! yes, two extremes. now it's time for click with spencer kelly and lara lewington. hey, welcome to click and welcome to my new office. it's a bit small but it does have one advantage, and that's that it can be absolutely anywhere. hiya, fancy seeing you here. hello, nice pod. are you avoiding me in there? as we start to talk about the future of workspaces post—pandemic, the go pod is one idea. it could be placed in the middle of an open—plan office or a public face like a coffee shop, giving people the opportunity to be able to book a safe and private space. yeah, this is about a future
7:49 am
where people are starting to work partly in offices and partly elsewhere too. this hybrid working that we're hearing so much about. and go pod want to put these things everywhere so there's always one nearby, because it's all very well working in a cafe but sometimes you do need to take a private call or have a private meeting. and to do so, you find the nearest pod via the app where you can book it and pay for it. it's fully ventilated, and the company is also trialling using uvc lights to kill off any bacteria and viruses between uses. now, this is a 1—person pod. there will be 4— and 6—people pods coming too for when we can all share the same air again. but while we're waiting, lara has been to see a different type of pod that really does move. many people who've taken a breakfrom using public transport may feel a bit intimidated about returning to it. so i've come to take a look at the making of what's being called a post—pandemic vehicle. this concept pod would sit
7:50 am
somewhere between a bus and a taxi, both in size and cost, and could be booked, summoned and paid for via your smartphone. it'd be well ventilated, clearly labelled when safe to use, and moving screens would provide customisable—sized carriages. one could imagine being downstairs on a bus or on a train, that the carriage could be configurable, so that's something we're working with manufacturers on to look at how they can configure vehicles to make them more friendly for multi—people use. and doing it via a mobile phone also means you haven't actually got to touch anything.
7:51 am
pre—covid, we were still using that user—centred design philosophy, and what were people's issues them? they were more interested in comfort, for example, or motion sickness? in autonomous vehicles, we can programme how gently they take off and what sort of acceleration and deceleration they give to the occupant in order to minimise that motion sickness dose, and so make the journey more comfortable. but wouldn't it be nice if you just didn't need to travel so far? spencer: yes, and that, my friend, is where working from home might morph into working near home. if the pandemic�*s left you sick of typing at the kitchen table, then this new local desk—booking app could be for you. narau launched last year and it lists desks in 350 locations, including co—working spaces, offices and hotels. this is the closest workspace to where i live and narau says this is different from the tradition co—working model where you would rent access
7:52 am
to a dedicated co—working space on a longish—term contract, maybe month—to—month, but with this service, buildings can rent out individual spare desks and workers can book for as little as an hour without a contract. they say it's a bit like airbnb, but for desks. with many office spaces now sitting empty, a service like this could help building owners to monetise underused properties, with the app taking 10% of the fees and also giving users more flexibility in the type of place that they want to work. so whether you're kind of relatively introverted, you might like to space that is quiet, and that might be more suited to you or if you might be more extroverted and want to go to a super creative space. people now don't need to go to an office space to show that they're working. and while it's mostly being used by individuals, some companies are also using the app to help their employees
7:53 am
work remotely too. lara: meanwhile, i don't normally mind getting my hands dirty at work, but these days, it's all about keeping them clean. well, we're all pretty used to being greeted by hand sanitiser anywhere we go these days. your work past would have an rfid tag in it which sets off an alert if you walk straight past this, so a discreet text message will arrive on your phone, reminding you to go back again and clean your hands. there we go, job done. just don't have your ringtone set to loud. pre—pandemic, savortex had focused on smart hand dryers that counted how many people used them compared to how many passed by. some maybejust didn't dry their hands but many didn't wash them, yuck. and then covid struck. however the future of our workplaces may play out, one thing can be fairly sure,
7:54 am
and that's that they're changing. pardon? i can't see what's happening outside. what are you doing? i'm coming out! ok, right now, we are smack hang in the middle of euro 2020. are you enjoying it? yeah, you? i am, actually. i like a good shout in front of the tv and, quite frankly, i need that right now. indeed, but as the excitement heightens, there has also been growing evidence that playing the game may not actually be so good for you, as repeatedly heading the ball could actually, long—term, lead to head injuries. so paul carter's been taking a look at one piece of tech that researchers are using to learn more. newsreel commentator: the west german attack had bite and purpose. on they came again. concussion is a growing concern in professional sport, but it's not always as obvious
7:55 am
as being knocked out cold. newsreel commentator: it's the equalizer! there's also growing concern about the potential for much longer—term damage. football is a sport increasingly coming under scrutiny in this area. a recent paper by glasgow university found that ex—footballers are 3.5 times more likely to die of dementia potentially caused by heading the ball. it's due to what's called sub—concussive head impacts, lower—impact hits that, frequently repeated, can have a residual effect. when football players head a ball, we can detect that you get changes in the electrical circuitry. to what you call the sub—concussive hits, you're not getting any symptoms and, in many ways, that's more sinister because you can have these sub—concussive hits, week in, week out, over a number of years and not detect them.
7:56 am
the effect is starting to show in football heroes of the past. five out of the 11—man 1966 england football world cup—winning squad developed dementia in later life. these kinds of impacts aren't just a concern for seasoned pros, it can affect anyone, professionals, amateurs and especially children and teenagers. the effects of sub—concussion is far greater in children. you can see it in severe cases. the recovery time is far, far longer. but edinburgh—based company hit has come up with a piece of technology they think might help tackle the problem by measuring how much impact an athlete sustains to the head when taking part in sport. i went to their lab at heriot—watt university to see their final stages of testing. and what we're doing is we're basically calibrating the accelerometer that's in the back of the head in the hit device. it gives us a really good indication of kind of how
7:57 am
sensitive the accelerometer is and if we need to maybe alter that or if it's all good to go. would that be kind of the equivalent of the sort of impacts people might be getting in a real—world situation, or are you sort of going beyond that for this test? so what we're doing here, the 60 gs is our threshold impact. it's what we would do for an adult rugby player, or an adult, anyone that's not wearing a helmet, and that is risky, it's dangerous. we want you to be checked out. for this one, you're seeing that movement down, the hang of the head similar to if you were to get whiplash with your head off the ground. godspeed, mr head. three, two, one... that looks pretty dramatic. so you've got the numbers there? we've got the numbers here. you're seeing the impact. so you're seeing the impacts. we are able to count all of your impacts in a traffic light system. obviously 9 gs, anything up to 20 at the moment, is deemed safe.
7:58 am
amber is when it's getting a bit risky and red is, seeing it in the lab brings home how hard these impacts actually are, and how we overlook them in the speed of the game. it's certainly not something i'd want to happen to my head. but to understand how this transfers onto the pitch, we met with some members of the heriot—watt women's football team who are trying out the device. there we go, so it's picked up this first header. there was a 10 g one, so it's gone up now, so that's the new highest one, as we're watching. but that's still sort of within safe... within the safe range, of course. it's the accumulation. you're seeing research at the moment suggesting 20 headers of 15 gs is showing a change in brain that would take 2a hours to recover from your baseline. when we go outside to play sport, how often do we think about the hidden costs to our heads? it's particularly easy to see how this technology could be used with children to really understand the impact young heads are taking
7:59 am
playing games at school. being able to see the hits that we are sustaining when playing sport may well help us consider how much we are putting our brains through. i really do think that real—time sensors is the way to go. we can act quickly, quantify concussion better, sub—concussion better, and take action to prevent early onset dementia. but all this does raise the question — should we really be using our heads at all? and i'm afraid that's it for the shortcut of click for this week. don't forget the full—length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer, isn't it? it is! and you can to keep up with the team on social media throughout the week. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching, see you soon. bye— bye.
8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and nina warhurst. our headlines today. after the revelations of kissing a colleague in his office, the health secretary matt hancock resigns, with an apology for breaching coronavirus guidance. 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. downing street moves quickly — putting former chancellor sajid javid in charge at the department of health. grab a jab — half of all adults under 30 in england will have had their first
8:01 am
covid vaccine by the end of the day. disappointment for wales as defeat to denmark means they're out of the euros and on their way home. it was a very emotional game and, yeah, it's really sad that it — the campaign had to finish like that. the reality hit home that, you know, we're a small nation and as passionate and proud as we are, we're picking from a small pool. and while for many of you it will be a dry day, a little bit of sunshine, feeling pleasantly warm across some southern counties of england and later, south wales will some heavy and potentially thundery rain. i'll have the details here on breakfast. it's sunday 27th june. our top story. former chancellor sajid javid says he's "honoured" to be appointed health secretary. he's "honoured" to be it follows matt hancock's resignation after he breached social distancing guidance by sharing an intimate embrace with a colleague. he did have the support
8:02 am
of the prime minister, but faced growing pressure from his own conservative colleagues to step down. here's our political correspondent, ben wright. one of the most familiar faces of the pandemic, the health secretary at the heart of decision—making as the country battled covid. and often seen at his side was this woman, gina coladangelo — a former lobbyist, adviser to the health secretary and long—term friend. but on friday came this image of them kissing in matt hancock's office, breaking, as he admitted, the government's own covid guidelines and plunging his career into crisis. last night, he quit. 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. matt hancock hoped to ride out this storm — a cabinet minister with big ambition, who had the backing of the prime minister. number 10 considered this matter closed and it was mr hancock who decided to step down.

8:04 am
lying to everybody. ..later releasing whatsapp messages that showed boris johnson calling the health secretary "totally hopeless". recently, the queen seemed sympathetic. and matt hancock strongly rejected dominic cummings' allegations. man: you're hopeless, mr hancock? i don't think so! reporter: morning, mrjavid! the former chancellor sajid javid now returns to the cabinet as the new health secretary, taking over during a pandemic that is not yet over. thank you very much indeed. in his resignation letter, matt hancock apologised to his family for putting them through all of this. a spokesman declined to comment, but tonight it's understood mr hancock has also left his wife. ben wright, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent helen catt. she is in the newsroom for us this
8:05 am
morning. was it inevitable matt hancock had to resign? it morning. was it inevitable matt hancock had to resign?- morning. was it inevitable matt hancock had to resign? it was clear from friday — hancock had to resign? it was clear from friday that _ hancock had to resign? it was clear from friday that as _ hancock had to resign? it was clear from friday that as soon _ hancock had to resign? it was clear from friday that as soon as - hancock had to resign? it was clear from friday that as soon as he - from friday that as soon as he admitted breaking the social distancing rules that it would have been extreme difficult for him to carry on in the role of health secretary. however, he did have the prime minister's backing so it was his decision to go. it is fair to say he was helped to the conclusion by other conservative mps privately behind—the—scenes saying to him the situation is untenable. and if you think back to those times we have seen matt hancock at the podium in downing street at the dispatch book in the house of commons, telling people about the importance of observing restrictions, the thought of him doing that in the future, but hejust of him doing that in the future, but he just wouldn't have the credibility to be able to do that —— dispatch box. that's why he had to step down from the job. the labour leader sir keir starmer said matt hancock was right to resigned but borisjohnson should have sacked him. it has raised questions over borisjohnson'sjudgment. you heard borisjohnson's judgment. you heard from borisjohnson'sjudgment. you heard from andrew bridgen, the conservative mp in the peace there, on one hand people will feel it is

8:08 am
you know, pick through. but right now, obviously, we are trying to stabilise the situation because of the fire and the smoke. forfamily members, it is an agonising time. on the fence of a nearby tennis court, they have put up photos of the relatives who were asleep in the tower when it collapsed. they're still looking for my mom and my grandmother. as a family member who saw the footage and the days that have passed by, we know there is no hope of them being alive. we're just hoping they maybe find some kind of remains or something. families want to know how a ao—year—old building could simply come down within seconds. an inspection carried out in 2018 found evidence of major structural damage to a concrete slab below the swimming pool and also abundant cracking of columns and beams in the building's garage, but repairs were not immediately carried out. the authorities have promised
8:09 am
a full investigation. james reynolds, bbc news. dozens of pages of classified government documents have been found by a member of the public at a bus stop in kent. the bbc can exclusively reveal. the ministry of defence papers contain details about the warship hms defender and the british military presence in afghanistan. our diplomatic correspondent paul adamsjoins us now. good morning, paul tells us about how the documents were found and what they tell us.— what they tell us. they were found b a what they tell us. they were found by a member _ what they tell us. they were found by a member of— what they tell us. they were found by a member of the _ what they tell us. they were found by a member of the public, - what they tell us. they were found by a member of the public, as - what they tell us. they were found by a member of the public, as you | by a member of the public, as you say, behind a bus stop in kent in the early hours of tuesday morning. they were drenched, it had been raining. the member of the public glanced down, saw and immediately recognised that these were somewhat sensitive documents. we are not saying, by the way, where this was because we believe we know the
8:10 am
office of the individual at the ministry of defence where these documents originated and we are not at the moment interested in allowing people to triangulate in an attempt to identify who that senior official is. the member of public contacted the bbc. he felt that was the right thing to do. he was clearly concerned this represented some kind of security breach and we have spent the last day or so looking at the documents and trying to assess just how significant they are. fight! documents and trying to assess 'ust how significant they arei how significant they are. and what do they tell _ how significant they are. and what do they tell us? _ how significant they are. and what do they tell us? they _ how significant they are. and what do they tell us? they break- how significant they are. and what do they tell us? they break down | do they tell us? they break down into a number— do they tell us? they break down into a number of— do they tell us? they break down into a number of categories. - do they tell us? they break down into a number of categories. as | do they tell us? they break down i into a number of categories. as you say, their result of information about hms defender. that clearly is about hms defender. that clearly is a story that has been very much prominent in headlines this past week. this was the british warship which passed through waters off the crimean peninsula on wednesday in what was clearly an attempt by the british government to prove that britain recognises ukraine's territorial sovereignty there, not
8:11 am
russia. russia of course annexed crimea in 2014. and what the papers show, which is, in some ways, perhaps rather obvious, is that there was a great deal of concern and planning that went into precisely what would happen when hms defender took one of several proposed routes, the route that would take it closest to the crimean peninsula. they show that there was a discussion about what the likely russian reaction would be and an awareness that that reaction might indeed be hostile. so awareness that that reaction might indeed be hostile.— indeed be hostile. so these predictions. _ indeed be hostile. so these predictions, this _ indeed be hostile. so these predictions, this discussion | indeed be hostile. so these i predictions, this discussion of strategy, is pretty sensitive. as you said, you wouldn't wish to triangulate and identify who this person was. person who left the documents. nonetheless, it is very embarrassing for the mod. ht is. embarrassing for the mod. it is, because these _ embarrassing for the mod. it is, because these were _ embarrassing for the mod. it is, because these were found - embarrassing forthe mod. tit 3 because these were found around 24 hours before hms defender went that particularjourney. so the timing was pretty unfortunate indeed. the
8:12 am
mod has confirmed the incident. it says sensitive defence papers were recovered by a member of the public, that the department takes the security of information extremely seriously, and that the employee concerned reported the loss at the time and an investigation is under way. so, yes, clearly this is embarrassing. butjust to underline, the operation is over. i think there will be relief in the ministry of defence that these papers did not come to light sooner. and in a sense, this episode is over. hie sense, this episode is over. no doubt they will be an investigation into how it happened. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams with the news that dozens of pages of classified government documents were found by a member of the public in kent. it's 8:12am. parts of the us and canada are seeing a severe heat wave — which forecasters say could mark the start of one of the most extreme and prolonged periods of hot weather ever recorded there. temperatures will soar
8:13 am
dramatically well into next week across washington state and oregon and parts of idaho, wyoming and california. mark lobel has the details. help on its way in portland, oregon, to give homeless people hydrated during the heatwave. good morning, good morning. outreach team. anybody home? mm, sleeping. we are right now passing out cold water on tuesdays and also every it's a foreboding forecast for the north—west in coming days. we are referring to this as life—threatening - heat for this region. our overnight lows are going to be about the same as our— usual seasonal highs. what's remarkable about this one is notjust that the records are going to he broke, and sometimes by comfortable margins, but that the heat is sticking around so long. 100 degrees is a magic number and in seattle that's happened twice. and it's now almost a sure thing we are going to get three days in a row. an atmospheric heat dome
8:14 am
is causing a splash. witness these historic low water levels at the hoover dam. we are in the second year of a multi—year drought. especially the fact that this is happening so early in our summer season. we still have a couple of months to go and there is no real prospect that we will get the kind of precipitation that we will need to, you know, make the fuels in the forests less flammable. a few days ago, evacuation warnings hit southern california's san diego county. fire crews fought a brush fire that broke out near hillside casino. essentials are distributed from this cooling centre. essentials were distributed from the schooling centre. with the heat rising, clear warnings it is a taste of things to come.

8:19 am
yes. i am delighted. have gone very quickly and smoothly. yes. iam delighted. it's interesting, though. i'm not surprised because people have been so committed to this programme, both people who have been planning it and who have been rolling it out, but people on the ground who have been receiving the vaccine have been coming forward. every time we open a cohort, they are really keen to get their vaccine, so my huge thanks to their vaccine, so my huge thanks to the public who continue to support this programme and they are really helping us to do the very best we can in this incredible vaccination drive. ~ . , can in this incredible vaccination drive. ~ ., , . , drive. we have this catchy little slo . an, drive. we have this catchy little slogan. grab — drive. we have this catchy little slogan. grab a _ drive. we have this catchy little slogan, grab ajab, _ drive. we have this catchy little slogan, grab a jab, operating . drive. we have this catchy little l slogan, grab a jab, operating this weekend. do you think it does help that people have just been able to turn up in many places to get a jab without having to make an appointment?— without having to make an a- ointment? , ., ~ appointment? yes, i do. ithink it makes a really — appointment? yes, i do. ithink it makes a really big _ appointment? yes, i do. ithink it makes a really big difference. - appointment? yes, i do. ithink it makes a really big difference. forj makes a really big difference. for some having an appointment and planning work around it is exactly right but for others just being able to walk in, especially if you are sort of walking past or it is more of a whim where you suddenly decided
8:20 am
to get your vaccine, it has made a real difference. and all the media and all the kind of excitement around it has been hugely helpful too, so thanks to everybody out there who has been promoting the weekend. it has been something that people have been really taking up well. if you haven't had your vaccine yet, you are in a rapidly shrinking minority, so please go out. you can get it today. the raidl out. you can get it today. the rapidly shrinking _ out. you can get it today. the rapidly shrinking minority is an interesting point, and i was going to ask you, and i appreciate again this is a political decision, but do you sense things are moving? you talked about getting back to normal. do you sense that things are moving towards that being able to happen as hoped on the 19th ofjuly? j towards that being able to happen as hoped on the 19th ofjuly?— hoped on the 19th ofjuly? i mean, certainl , hoped on the 19th ofjuly? i mean, certainly. as— hoped on the 19th ofjuly? i mean, certainly. as you — hoped on the 19th ofjuly? i mean, certainly, as you said, _ hoped on the 19th ofjuly? i mean, certainly, as you said, it _ hoped on the 19th ofjuly? i mean, certainly, as you said, it is - hoped on the 19th ofjuly? i mean, certainly, as you said, it is a - certainly, as you said, it is a matterfor certainly, as you said, it is a matter for government but on behalf of the vaccination programme we have hit every target we have been set. as long as supply allows we will make sure that everybody gets the vaccine offered in arms, and the second dose as well because that's really important. so as long as people are coming forward we will
8:21 am
make sure that we protect them. in make sure that we protect them. in terms of the supply, do you have enough supply to achieve all the targets that you want to hit? and at what point does that ethical question about whether we need to then start helping other countries more come into play? absolutely. the su -l that more come into play? absolutely. the supply that we — more come into play? absolutely. the supply that we have _ more come into play? absolutely. the supply that we have right _ more come into play? absolutely. the supply that we have right now - more come into play? absolutely. the supply that we have right now is - supply that we have right now is what we are using to plan the rest of the roll—out. but we aren't protected until we are all protected. so it is really important that our government working with governments across the country and across the world can work together to make sure that the whole world gets the protection it needs.

8:23 am
good morning. the prime minister praised him for the role he played in protecting the health service, for the part he played in the vaccine roll—out. do you give him any credit in those areas? well it is obviously a personal tragedy for matt hancock. he was always very courteous in his dealings with me. j courteous in his dealings with me. i hope he can resolve the situation that he finds himself in. but to be frank, it shouldn't have come to this last night. borisjohnson should have had the guts, the spine, the awareness, the judgment to sack him on friday. it's notjust the situation he found himself in where he is breaking the rules, when he writes the rules himself, over 12 months now he failed to protect the care homes, he didn't put a protective ring around care homes and that had tragic consequences. he sent nhs staff to the front lines to face a ferocious, deadly virus and they didn't have the correct ppe. the test and tracing system, billions spent on it, and it hasn't
8:24 am
worked. we still don't pay people a decent sick pay, the delta variant breached our shores because our borders were not secure. so i don't think matt has a record to be proud of, i think it's a damning legacy. aha, of, i think it's a damning legacy. a difficult time to hold that role. do you concede that he has played a part in the vaccine roll—out well? it is a difficult time and vaccination has gone well and that is tribute to our nurses, gps, nhs england, the scientific community as well. that is going well. my worry is we could be throwing away many of the gains. we are supposed to be free by now. we are supposed to have lifted restrictions by now and we were not able to because the delta variant breached our shores. but as a failure of government policy around border control. so vaccination is going well, but let's not undermine it, other decisions by the government has undermined it. let's talk about the in tray for sajid javid, nhs reforms, social
8:25 am
care budget, extension of the vaccine, whether children should be given access to it. it's not going to be an easy task for him. what would you put at the forefront of his priorities? j would you put at the forefront of his priorities?— his priorities? i think we really have to start _ his priorities? i think we really have to start focusing - his priorities? i think we really have to start focusing now - his priorities? i think we really have to start focusing now on | have to start focusing now on delivering the quality care that patients deserve. we have 5.1 million people on the waiting list. we have over 300,000 people waiting over a yearfor we have over 300,000 people waiting over a year for treatment, over 2000 people waiting over two years for treatment. we have cancer treatment delay, young people struggling to access mental health care, and some of that is because the nhs entered this crisis on the back of ten years of underfunding, cutbacks, losing beds, short of staff and sajid javid was responsible for that. he was a treasury minister, a leading advocate for, and indeed an architect of the austerity that has afflicted the nhs these last ten years which has weakened it. in many ways making him health secretary,
8:26 am
given his record as an architect of austerity, is a bit like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop. is he going to battle for the investment the nhs needs given that he's been cutting health care when he's been cutting health care when he was in the treasury?— he's been cutting health care when he was in the treasury? important to deal with the — he was in the treasury? important to deal with the position _ he was in the treasury? important to deal with the position we _ he was in the treasury? important to deal with the position we are - he was in the treasury? important to deal with the position we are in - deal with the position we are in now. if you were him you would have to advise the prime minister regarding the 19th ofjuly. would you be saying, yes, we are in a position to open up fully? i think we are making good progress stop the 19th ofjuly is still a couple of weeks away but we are making good progress. but weeks away but we are making good rorress. �* �* , weeks away but we are making good rorress. �* �*, ., , ., progress. but let's not set our rorress progress. but let's not set our progress back. _ progress. but let's not set our progress back. the _ progress. but let's not set our progress back. the infection i progress. but let's not set our - progress back. the infection rates are increasing. they are increasing. we think, and we are pretty sure, that the link between infection rates and mass hospitalisation has been weakened, but it has not been completely severed. hf been weakened, but it has not been completely severed.— completely severed. if you were the health secretary, _ completely severed. if you were the health secretary, would _ completely severed. if you were the health secretary, would you - completely severed. if you were the health secretary, would you be - health secretary, would you be advising that we go ahead? j advising that we go ahead? i wouldn't be making, i wouldn't be offering any advice on the 27th of june about something on the 19th of

8:31 am
because until we are vaccinated, the aduu because until we are vaccinated, the adult population, we aren't going to be able to see a way through the pandemic. it's a huge logistical challenge to get the vaccination delivered because there are tens of millions people yet to have it and the logistics, the supplies, etc. he is also facing in the months ahead the reality of another crisis which is a backlog crisis, a record 5 million plus patients on waiting lists waiting to be treated, of which nearly 400,000 have been waiting more than 12 months. that doesn't count, it doesn't even take into account the 20 million fewer patients who weren't seen last year. that will become a very real issue because many of those patients also will start getting more ill, there will start getting more ill, there will be more pressure is on the system and he will need to be able to adjust that with honesty. there is another issue, the government
8:32 am
hasn't costed to address this backlog and our own estimates are it will take at least several million pounds in additional to what is budgeted and sajid javid will need to fight that corner. we also need to fight that corner. we also need to recognise the workforce. the workforce is absolutely exhausted, they have worked over the last 15 months, many without a break, they worked throughout lockdowns, they been busy during the lockdown is. we know about one in five doctors want to retire early, sorry, one in three want to retire early, one in five want to retire early, one in five want to retire early, one in five want to leave the nhs, one in five want to leave the nhs, one in five want to leave the nhs, one in five want to reduce their hours. these are real statistics because the workforce is exhausted. many feel devalued, especially when you consider the government to's belief that they deserve a 1% pay rise. i think there's going to be a lot of work sajid javid will need to do to instil confidence amongst the workforce to make sure that they actually are retained to deliver the
8:33 am
care that's going to be needed in this hugely challenging period. that's a comprehensive rundown of the challenges he faces, picking on the challenges he faces, picking on the backlog. we were talking to the boss of the hospital in coventry on monday, they were saying perhaps up to five years to get back to where we wear pre—pandemic. would you recognise that sort of timescale? yes, we've actually looked at this ourselves, and there is no doubt this is going to take several years. evenif this is going to take several years. even if we had the money, although the government hasn't yet pledged the government hasn't yet pledged the money, we don't have the workforce. this is something the nhs has been afflicted by for many years, we don't have the workforce we need to deliver care at the best of times, neither side at the current situation. what's going to be really important is to prioritise those patients for whom a delay would be the most detrimental, patients will have to prioritise those most ill or who have
8:34 am
conditions that would deteriorate. that exercise itself is a logistical challenge because it isn't really happening up and down the country and we believe that is an absolute priority. one of the things sajid javid could do is make use of the retired workforce, who are only too happy to help with some of this work. many retired in the last year or two and it's something the government didn't avail of property during the pandemic. ultimately, what we must do is retain our workforce, given that significant numbers of feeling exhausted. four in ten say their mental health is worse than before the pandemic and that they intend to either reduce their hours or leave or retire. the health and _ their hours or leave or retire. the health and social care bill is also going through at the moment. that is shifting things to the help of the population rather than to the health of patients, it is more broadly focused. that will be a key priority for him as well.—

8:36 am
we all want to work together. at the moment there is a huge amount of bureaucracy that gets in the way of care. it's not that we don't want to see change but it's for wholesale reform of organisations that is the issue. ., , , , reform of organisations that is the issue. . , , , ., , issue. finally, set it up it was the chancellor _ issue. finally, set it up it was the chancellor before. _ issue. finally, set it up it was the chancellor before. now, - issue. finally, set it up it was thej chancellor before. now, jonathan ashworth said it's like putting the fox in charge of the chickens because he was overseeing cuts. clearly, the financial situation was different then, priorities were different then, priorities were different i imagine. but he understands the workings and now should be an advocate for the nhs at that top table. are you encouraged to have somebody who might have a good grip on the finances, on the way things were, to get rishi sunak to fund the things you want him to fund? t to fund the things you want him to fund? , . ., , to fund the things you want him to fund? , . . ., fund? i very much hope so. we are auoin to fund? i very much hope so. we are going to be — fund? i very much hope so. we are going to be calling _ fund? ! very much hope so. we are going to be calling for— fund? i very much hope so. we are going to be calling for an _ fund? i very much hope so. we are going to be calling for an early i going to be calling for an early meeting with sajid javid. the other thing to say is that he's the first person of colour to be health secretary and i hope he will also address the racial disparities that
8:37 am
have affected the nhs. coming back to your question, absolutely, his responsibility is to look after the help of the nation and in doing so help of the nation and in doing so he will have to negotiate the resources that the health service needs. sometimes it's a full dichotomy between what is good for the health of the nation and what's good for the finances. they actually good for the finances. they actually go hand in hand and an unhealthy nation, society ridden with care not being delivered, actually impacts on the way the economy functions. i hope he will be able to bring back together in his role as health secretary. together in his role as health secretary-— together in his role as health secreta . . ~ , ., , . secretary. thank you very much indeed. summing up the scale of the task of sajid javid as health secretary. now the sport, and we've been reflecting on wales last night. i caught the last 20 minutes but that was all he needed to know.—

8:39 am
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 built. and as kasper dolberg cut inside, he broke wales's spirit. commentator: denmark strikes first! from holland to back home. crowd reacts. wales needed to find a way to disrupt denmark's dominance. instead, they faltered and dolberg doubled the lead. it's a terrible clearance! it's 2-0! there was no choice. wales threw everything at it but simply could not turn the tide. and that is the end for wales! a fourth felt cruel. the final whistle perhaps a relief for everyone. they don't deserve to end the tournament in that way. to get to the competition itself was a great achievement for the group of players. to get out the group
8:40 am
was an even bigger achievement. and, like i said, they're a great group and they don't deserve to leave the tournament in that manner. we were the better team for 25 minutes — by far the better team for 20 min — 25 minutes. having criss—crossed the continent, wales have reached the end of the road and are heading home, proud but outplayed by a danish team who, after the most difficult start to this tournament, are living a football fairy tale. hywel griffith, bbc news. hywel is in amsterdam for us this morning. hywel, it's been quite the journey around europe for you and the welsh team, but it's all over now, and lots of talk around future of gareth bale in a wales shirt again. made like in the camp at the moment? well, i think inevitably a lot of disappointment last night. it was a terrible end to what has been a pretty happyjourney terrible end to what has been a pretty happy journey for wales. terrible end to what has been a pretty happyjourney for wales. lots of people, fans, complaining about
8:41 am
the fact that wales had to go from baku to rome to amsterdam, while other teams like england have had games on home soil. also about the referee, feeling some key decisions went against them. ultimately this is a moment that wales have to own. it is a bitter pill to swallow but you can learn from games like that. denmark showed how a switch of tactics can suddenly put things in their favour. tactics can suddenly put things in theirfavour. and tactics can suddenly put things in their favour. and there's a lot of players in that wales squad who will be thinking about the next tournament. wales haven't qualified for world cup 1958 but there are games in september which if they win gives them a chance of going to qatar next year and they could turn this into another incredible journey. this into another incredible 'ourne. , , ., this into another incredible 'ourne. , ,., ., journey. many positives to take away for wales. looking _ journey. many positives to take away for wales. looking at _ journey. many positives to take away for wales. looking at the _ journey. many positives to take away for wales. looking at the captain i for wales. looking at the captain gareth bale, what's the future around his position? a lot of questions about what he was potentially going to do after. there
8:42 am
alwa s potentially going to do after. there always questions _ potentially going to do after. there always questions about _ potentially going to do after. there always questions about his - potentially going to do after. ii—urr always questions about his club future, real madrid, where he's got one year left on his contract. but the focus has shifted to his future with wales. when he was asked by my colleague at pitch side, he walked away before the question finished but later on he clarified that he wants to continue playing for wales for as long as he plays football. most welsh fans will hope that will continue for at least another 12 months if wales had a chance of reaching the world cup. you people suggesting maybe he would rather be spending time on the golf course after the football has finished. thank you very much we shall see what gareth bale does at the end of the summer. italy are through to the quarterfinals, although they left it very late against austria. 0—0 after 90 minutes — it took two goals in extra time to see them through to the quarter finals. the game finished 2—1. there was an extraordinary climax to the english domestic rugby season — as harlequins were crowned champions for the first time in 9 years. two late tries from winger louis lynagh helped his side to a 40—38 victory over exeter
8:43 am
in front of 10,000 fans at twickenham. elsewhere though, bad news for british and irish lions captain alun wynjones — who won't travel with the team to south africa after dislocating his shoulder. the injury overshadowed the lions 28—10 win overjapan yesterday. ireland's conor murray has been named as replacement captain for the tour. also, the england—scotland a international today has been called off, due to positive covid tests in the scotland squad. there was a chaotic start to this year's tour de france. with two big crashes in the last 30 miles — the first was caused by a spectator who seem to be trying to get a picture while holding a cardboard sign. the second was inside the last five miles — chris froome, making his tour comeback, one of many riders affected. world championjulian alaphilippe won the stage, and will wear the yellow jersey in today's second stage. geraint thomas finished safely in the group behind along with most of the favourites.
8:44 am
i think it's the fact that the person had their backs to the peloton which isn't the best way to try and get something for a photo. i'm not advocating doing it but look at where the pellet and is coming because you can see how fast they are coming. because you can see how fast they are coming-— are coming. such a mess and so dangerous _ are coming. such a mess and so dangerous for — are coming. such a mess and so dangerous for the _ are coming. such a mess and so dangerous for the riders. - are coming. such a mess and so dangerous for the riders. if i dangerous for the riders. if something is coming at you at speed, make _ something is coming at you at speed, make sure _ something is coming at you at speed, make sure you're facing it. but don't do it! _ it's approaching quarter to nine. this is where we say goodbye to nina as she's going to read the news for the andrew marr show. have a look at this before i go. anyone remember this theme tune. music it is of course the theme tune to the 1992 bbc programme el dorado. i remember signing a petition to save

8:46 am
on the south coast. we've already seen some showers today and we will seen some showers today and we will see more to come. it's due to this weather system in the bay of biscay. you can see the clouds revolving, throwing up batches of showers. one is pushing westwards and easing a bit but there's more moving out of france, also the channel islands and they will move north. expect some further downpours to develop across southern counties through the day, more persistent towards the south—west. they could be a rumble of thunder. generally, north of the 40 we will see dry weather dominating. varying amounts of cloud, grey skies in salford but you should see some sunshine. this evening and overnight, heavy downpours in their southern counties will push into east anglia and the midlands. some of the west of the wet weather will be around bristol channel. much of northern england, scotland and northern ireland will have a dry night with parties clear
8:47 am
skies. if you look into monday, through the first part of next week, wimbledon is on the way and we will see a low pressure remaining to the south. this is where the showers will be focused. high pressure keeping things dry are further north. be prepared for downpours tomorrow. there will be some interruptions at wimbledon but a lot of dry weather too. we'll start with the wettest weather across the midlands, parts of wales and south—west, a few splashes of rain in northern england. much of and northern ireland staying dry, later on some heavy thundery showers developing in southern counties too. it will get warmer in western scotland as we go through the week. we are into the final 15 minutes of the programme.
8:48 am
sun, sea and clubbing — all the things you would expect on a trip to ibiza. following it's addition to the government's green list of quarantine—free travel destinations — the island is preparing to welcome back british tourists. that incudes entertainment venues, which are also gearing up. anna holligan has been to a nightclub pilot event, looking at how they can safely host visitors. dance music plays. music is the pulse of this island. ibiza's economy revolves around its nightclubs. now, ibiza's been green listed by the uk, this island is gearing up for the return of mass tourism, and this experiment could represent its revival. the guinea pigs are all key workers, like these nursing assistants. lucia told me "i really want to dance. "it's been so long since we've able to party around here." her friend said "it's true. "after such a long time, you do really want to go for it."
8:49 am
most other bars are serving again, but beyond this event, dancing is still banned. there are signs ibiza is emerging from the crisis — there are no restrictions on people travelling to these shores from the uk, but the balearic politicians want to tighten the entry rules. we think that with the increase in the number of cases in the uk, now is the right moment, you know, to put in place some controls to make sure everyone that comes here is in the right condition, is safe and can have a safe holiday. balearic beats were born here and the ibiza experience can draw people in for life. you know, kids come here at 17, 18, 19 years old, fall in love with the place, and they keep coming back, year after year, until, you know, even in their 50s — they're bringing their kids here and they're hiring — they're renting villas. so, you know, the clubs play a really important part of being that gateway to discover the island. djs worry if the tune doesn't change soon, the clubbers will
8:50 am
simply go elsewhere. there is something - magical about the island. ibiza is about the clubbing. and it would be foolish —| you cannot stop clubbing, simple as, you know? there needs to be a place for it somewhere. - and if it's not here, _ it's gonna be somewhere else. there is a lot riding on a sensitive experiment. media access was tightly controlled. and soon, the moves that were meant to be restricted to the dance floor were breaking out elsewhere. ibiza's iconic venues should reopen within weeks if the results from this event prove clubbing can happen without ruining efforts to defeat the pandemic. anna holligan, bbc news, ibiza. and it is light in ibiza this morning. it does look lovely there. how is the test event likely to
8:51 am
influence the return of tourism? hugely, because clubbing is so critical to the tourism industry and this is san antonio bay, home to the famous. normally, these rocks and waters would be heaving with british tourists because this is about 80% uk representatives here. in fact, right after the uk was, peter was added to the green list, the kings surged by 3000%. —— ibiza was added to the green list, the kings have surged by 3000%. people are drawn by the balearic beats and then they stay for the beaches and everything else. last night they employed 170 people, from the security, bar staff, dancers, people checking tickets on the door. so, all of that really feeds into how this island is
8:52 am
able to survive. in answer to your question, how critical is it that the clubs are reopening, a lot of people on the island had their hopes pinned on that and the fact that british tourists will start coming back here from as early as wednesday when they are allowed to go back to the uk without having to quarantine. thank you. enjoy the sunshine in ibiza this morning. speedway riding superstar sam norris was just 15 when he was injured in a devastating crash, leaving him hospitalised with life—changing brain damage. it seemed that sam might never ride his bike again, but after two years of rehabilitation and a lot of determination, sam returned to competitive racing for the first time this weekend. let's take a look at his journey. music
