this is bbc news — i'm lukwesa burak. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. after the revelations of kissing a colleague in his office, the uk 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. classified ministry of defence documents containing details about hms defender and the british military have been found at a bus stop in kent. the death toll from collapsed apartment the collapsed apartment

block in miami rises to five as rescue teams continue to try to search for survivors. grab a jab — half of all adults under 30 in england will have had their first covid vaccine by the end of the day. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. first, the former uk 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. 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, his 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. what has been clear over the last 2a hours is that a sizeable minority

or even majority of the public no longer had confidence in matt hancock. it wasn't the affair, it was the apparent hypocrisy of being someone who 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 borisjohnson calling the health secretary "totally hopeless". recently, the queen seemed sympathetic. and matt hancock strongly rejected dominic cummings�* allegations.

man: are you 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 it's understood mr hancock has also left his wife. ben wright, bbc news. northern ireland secretary brandon lewis defended borisjohnson�*s handling of the situation. i think most people will see the logic of matt, who has said he did wrong, and he did do wrong, no question, he accepted that and acknowledged it and that's why he apologised. we are in the middle of

apologised. we are in the middle of a pandemic, something he has huge experience in dealing with, phenomenal success with the vaccine role that and he and the prime minister wanted to deliver on that. that doesn't change the fact that it's quite understandable, and i think after 2a hours matt took the decision that his position distracted from the position he was focusing on. distracted from the position he was focusing on-— focusing on. after headlines and more bad headlines _ focusing on. after headlines and more bad headlines to _ focusing on. after headlines and more bad headlines to come. i more bad headlines to come. straightforward question, who has more control over the cabinet? the prime minister or the sun newspaper? we all serve at the pleasure of the prime minister and we work as a team, and the reality is matt took the decision that his position was distracting from that important work and he wants to put his children's thoughts in his mind as well, as he rightly should, but also thinking about the wider country and being able to deal with the pandemic. we are blessed in our party to have talent, people such as sajid javid who can come in with such vast experience and be able to work with a good team of ministers at the department of health to take that work forward. department of health to take that work forward-— department of health to take that work forward. . ., , ., work forward. that was the northern ireland secretary _ work forward. that was the northern ireland secretary brandon _ work forward. that was the northern

ireland secretary brandon lewis. - shadow health secretary jonathan ashworth said the new health secretary sajid javid faces some serious challenges. i think we really 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 year fortreatment, over2,000 people waiting over two years for treatment. we have cancer treatment delayed, 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, given his record as an architect of austerity, is a bit like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop.

is he actually going to battle for the investment the nhs needs given that he's been cutting health care when he was in the treasury? that was labour's jonathan ashworth. and i've been speaking to our political correspondent helen catt about sajid javid replacing matt hancock and what his pritoties may be. as soon as matt hancock, the health secretary, admitted that he had broken those rules, it was always going to be extremely difficult for him to stay on in that role because it is so prominent, because it is him who helps to set those rules and really publicly and asks the public to enforce them. having said that, he had the backing of the prime minister, so it was his decision to resign. i think it's fair to say, though, that he was helped to come to that conclusion by a number of conservative mps, senior conservative figures, rather, who were talking to him and the prime minister in the background of all of this. but what it has raised with the labour are questions over boris johnson's judgment over this. they said it is right, the labour leader keir starmer said

it was right matt hancock resigned but borisjohnson should have sacked him and some people will say, look, borisjohnson, we know he doesn't like getting rid of his ministers, he doesn't like to feel like he's been bounced into it, and there will be some who see this as loyalty to people he has appointed, and others who say this is a failure of leadership, it lacks politicaljudgment. so all of the attention now is the pandemic and sajid javid and he has to hit the ground running and he has a challenge ahead of him. suitability for the job? he's had what in normal times what would be considered biggerjobs in government, so he's been the home secretary, has been the chancellor, so he has the pedigree, if you like, for it. but he's coming into this job as health secretary at a time when it is the most prominent it has ever been in the pandemic still, it's not over, he has somejudgments, he's going to have to make pretty quickly on things like, for example,

there is due to be a review on the 5th ofjuly whether to lift the final restrictions on life in england. that's coming up in the next few days when they have to make that decision. he has bigger things to look at in the long term like the impact on the nhs and how to fund a long—running thing in the uk, how to fund care for the elderly and vulnerable. that was helen catt. dozens of pages of classified government documents have been found by a member of the public at a bus stop in the rain in kent. the ministry of defence papers contain details about the warship the hms defender and the british military presence in afghanistan.0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams has the details. it was found by a member of the public who contacted the bbc when they realised that they were potentially of some sensitivity. we looked at them, and indeed, discovered that they were, and they break down into a number of categories, as you already mentioned. references to hms defender, which carried out that controversial passage through the waters just off the crimean peninsula on wednesday, and the papers show that there was a great deal of debate,

as you would imagine, about what the likely russian reaction was going to be. also some stuff relating to british arms trade around the world, the defence dialogue between the uk and the united states with some observations aboutjoe biden's early months in the presidency. and also, and perhaps most sensitively, a document only", which discusses proposals for britain's possible military presence in afghanistan after the withdrawal of nato forces, what is the reaction from the mod on this? they have confirmed that there was a loss of papers, that this was reported by the official concerned. we are not naming the official. we believe it comes from the office of a senior official at the ministry of defence. but we are not in a position

to say any more than that. but the mod says an investigation has been launched. it involves ministry of defence police and they think it is inappropriate to comment further. clearly this is highly embarrassing, and for the individual concerned probably excruciating. that was paul adams. officials in miami have ordered safety checks on all buildings of a similar age to the apartment block which collapsed on thursday, killing at least five people. more than 150 others remain unaccounted for. james reynolds reports. the remains of the champlain towers south are incredibly difficult to get into. fires from deep within the wreckage are beating back rescue teams. they are having to go bit by bit, wherever they can get past the smoke. but officials insist that the search for survivors is not yet over.

we are continuing our search and rescue because ourfirst responders believe there is still a possibility. there are crevices, so there is air. they are able to, 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. 0n 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 a full investigation. james reynolds, bbc news. bbc mundo's william marquez gave us this update. the mayor of miami—dade, daniella levine, says they are holding onto hope. that's what the rescuers are saying, they still have hope. the hope is that in between the pile of rubble there are some pockets of air, some spaces, where there might be some survivors. the problem is they don't know how many people were occupying the apartments. they say that around 80 of the apartments of the 136 were occupied, and it is a fact that a lot of those people had these apartments as a second residence and they lived abroad. so it's very difficult to tell how many survivors they can still rescue. what about attention turning now

to the probable cause of this catastrophic disaster which seemed to happen with absolutely no warning? well, there is a report thatjust came out in the new york times that said that a consultant had warned three years ago of some serious structural damage. he says that there was crumbling and cracking. now, this is a ao—year—old structure. so the interesting thing is that governor desantis questioned whether this was an isolated incident or a bigger issue that could affect other buildings. and the pressure is on to come up with some kind of explanation very soon, isn't it? well, yes. there could be a structural issue, there can be damage sustained during hurricanes. there was a very, very severe hurricane in the early 1990s. there is flooding there that could have corroded the structure.

they could have been a sinkhole, movement of the earth which was discovered by a study by florida state university. that was william marquez. 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 11.2 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 jabs 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, it was about a 15—minute wait. 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 roll—out _ 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 overfour days. you'll 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, are 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 that 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. 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. thousands of people have been continuing to leave the bangladeshi capital, dhaka, ahead of a nationwide lockdown. crowds have flocked to dhaka's ferry terminals, to try to get home to their towns and villages. from monday, people in bangladesh will only be allowed to leave their homes in an emergency. bangladesh has seen an increase in covid cases since mid—may, many linked to the delta variant. france is holding the second

round of its regional elections — which some believe will signal what might happen in next year's presidential vote. in the first round last sunday, voters gave the traditional centre—right party, the republicans, a surprise boost while the far—right national rally party of marine le pen has been left trailing far behind in second place. hugh schofield reports from paris. the big takeaway, as they say, from round one was the very high abstention rate in the election. only one in three of the voters turned out, which raises all source turned out, which raises all sorts of questions about french democracy, of course. but the interesting thing was that it affected all the parties, including the hard right national rally party of marine le pen. her core voters, the youngsters, the white working class, who normally turn out for her, didn't last sunday. and the key question in this second round is whether she can be regalvanise them, get them to turn out, and if she can, then all is not lost

for her because she did disappointingly badly in round one. the key question, all eyes will be on this region of provence—alpes—cote d'azur in the south were her candidate in the south where her candidate thierry mariani is in a strong position, he could take it, and if he does take it then it will be a first for the hard right and a big boost for them ahead of the presidential elections. for the rest, the macron party, this is their candidate in the ile—de—france region, no—hopers. they're not going to win anything. in fact, in many regions their candidate hasn't even qualified because they did so badly in round one. so the attention this sunday is most likely going to be on the centre—right, mainstream right, the old gaullists, the party of sarkozy and chirac, the republican party, as they call themselves now. if they can build on their successful showing in round one, if they can hold on to the regions they already have with a bigger score, that will be a big boost

for them ahead of the presidentials next year because they will be able to show, or they will be able to say, that they and not the hard right, not the national rally party and marine le pen, they are the true alternative to emanuel macron. and who is the person who is going to be chosen to lead them into those presidential elections? well, probably it will be one of the characters who have come to the fore in these regional elections like valerie pecresse in the ile—de—france region here, like xavier bertrand in the north, like laurent wauquiez in the lyon region. these are the names to remember. hugh schofield. 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 high temperatures ever recorded there. in the united states, one large region — including all of washington state and oregon and parts of idaho, wyoming and california — will see temperatures soar dramatically throughout the region well

into next week. mark lobel has the details. help on its way in portland, oregon, to give homeless people hydrated during the heatwave. good morning, good morning. 0utreach team. anybody home? mm, sleeping. we are right now passing out cold water on tuesdays and also every single thursday and we have about ten volunteers plus our staff who go out. we try and hand out anywhere between 400—500 with bottles of water. it's a foreboding forecast for the north—west in coming days. we are referring to this as life—threatening - heat for this region. and 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 be 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 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 a hillside casino. essentials are distributed

from this cooling centre. we have been very aggressive about getting the word out that this is notjust uncomfortable heat, but this is dangerous for outdoor workers, people living on our streets and frail elderly who live alone who will need people checking on them to make sure they stay cool. essentials were distributed from the schooling centre. on them to make sure that they stay cool. with the heat rising, clear warnings it is a taste of things to come. mark lobel, bbc news. 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. a?trial event has been taking place this weekend to see if there's a safe way to let the party island start dancing again. anna holligan reports. 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." 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, yearafteryear, until, you know, even in their 505 — 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 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 beat the pandemic. anna holligan, bbc news, ibiza. you're watching bbc news. the recently newly appointed health secretary sajid javid has been speaking following the resignation of matt hancock. this is what he has had to say. of matt hancock. this is what he has had to sa . , ., of matt hancock. this is what he has had to say-— had to say. good morning, health secretary- — had to say. good morning, health secretary. daunting _ had to say. good morning, health secretary. daunting job _ had to say. good morning, health secretary. daunting job ahead, i secretary. daunting job ahead, priorities? _ secretary. daunting “ob ahead, riorities? ., ., ., priorities? good morning, i want to start by saying _ priorities? good morning, i want to start by saying that _ priorities? good morning, i want to start by saying that matt _ priorities? good morning, i want to start by saying that matt hancock l start by saying that matt hancock worked incredibly hard, he achieved a dot, and i'm sure he will have more to offer in public life. —— achieved a lot. i was honoured to take up this position and i also know it comes with huge responsibility. and i will do everything i can to make sure that i deliver for the people of this great country. we are still in a pandemic,

this is mark. he's lived on portland his whole life, and he's worked here for almost a0 years. he designed this mine, and it's true to say he loves this place. i started as a trainee quarryman back in the very early 1980s, and i've been here ever since, really. i heard that geologists lick rocks. some of us do. why? sometimes you can you can pick up diagnostic things about rocks from licking them. portland stone is exactly that, it's stone from portland, and these rocks have literally built every building you've ever seen. well, not every building, but some pretty iconic ones. buildings such as st paul's cathedral, the british museum and the un building in new york. and what's left behind is this

astonishing cathedral—like space. and there's a team that are working hard so that you can come and see it. so what we want to do is to tell the unfolding story of life. it's a story that's four billion years old and unfolding still. how are we going to do it? we've got the most amazing stage set imaginable. it's going to be astonishing. this idea has been around in various guises for some time, and it's hoped backing from cornwall�*s eden project will help make this £30 million plan a reality. i know that we can create - for portland a hugely successful, world class destination that is both a visitor destination, _ as in tourism, as well as a scientific institution. . if we don't get the support we need, i'm afraid we're just— going to have to go. and if you can't get the funding, what's the alternative? well, under planning, we will have to backfill the mine to the roof. so it will be completely backfilled and lost.

surely, we can be more imaginative than that. this place really is magnificent. i mean, there's 150 million years worth of history down here, and i feel really lucky and privileged to be able to see it as well. the idea that you might not be able to see it, i find that pretty upsetting. 0llie peart, bbc news. time for the weather with matt taylor. hello. once again, a very pleasant day out there where you've got the sunshine. a fair bit of cloud across other areas and towards the south of england. more showers developing through the afternoon. some can be heavy and thundery. most frequent in the south—west but they could move into south wales and other southern areas as we go through the second half of the day. away from that, predominantly dry. best of the sunshine across western areas, but even in the east not as chilly as recent days. there will be a bit of a breeze blowing across southern

counties through today compared with yesterday. showers in the south will head further north
