the death toll from 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. the new health secretary sajid javid says he recognises the huge response pretty facing him and the focus will be getting the country through the

pandemic. 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. earlier, it sajid javid spoke to reporters outside his department and

here is what he had to say. i want to start by saying i think matt hancock worked incredibly hard. he achieved a lot. i'm sure he will have more to offer in public life. i was honoured to take up this position. i also know that 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 and i want to see that come to an end as soon as possible, and that will be my most immediate priority, to see that we can return to normal as soon and as quickly as possible. now, i've got a lot of work to do, i'm sure you appreciate that, and if you can excuse me, i would like to get on with it. thank you very much. thank you very much indeed for coming. northern ireland secretary brandon lewis has defended borisjohnson's handling of the situation with matt hancock and has been speaking on the andrew marr show.

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 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 with hindsight after 2a hours matt took the decision that his position distracted from the position he was focusing on. after 2a hours of bad headlines and 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 view 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 really good team of ministers at the department of health to take that work forward. that was the northern ireland secretary brandon lewis. the chair of the commons health and social care committee jeremy hunt said the new health secretary sajid javid has "six months" to tackle the social care crisis. my own view is, looking at the entirety of what happened in the last year, there were some of the worst failures of the state in our lifetime and also some of the biggest successes of the state in our lifetime and any dispassionatejudgment is going to have to put those two very contradictory things side by side. i'm quite sure you would say the vaccine roll—out was one of the great successes, but what happened in care homes, was that one of the great failures? i think it was and i think there was a blind spot there about the social care system, which is another reason why absolutely top of sajid javid's list will be to get a ten—year plan for the social care system to really set it up for the future,

in the way that the ten—year plan did for the nhs back in 2018. 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 hms defender and the british military presence in afghanistan. our 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 marked "secret — uk eyes only", which discusses proposals for britain's possible military presence in afghanistan after the withdrawal of nato forces, a process which is going on right now. that's obviously extremely sensitive. what has been the reaction from the mod on this? pretty limited, as you would imagine. 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. john is labour's shadow defence secretary and joins us now. thanks forjoining us. how serious is this in your opinion? it is forjoining us. how serious is this in your opinion?— forjoining us. how serious is this in your opinion? it is serious. the re orts in your opinion? it is serious. the reports suggest _ in your opinion? it is serious. the reports suggest a _ in your opinion? it is serious. the reports suggest a wide _ in your opinion? it is serious. the reports suggest a wide range - in your opinion? it is serious. the reports suggest a wide range of. reports suggest a wide range of documents that cover a range of national security issues. it is certainly embarrassing for ministers, as your reporter said, but it is also worrying for those involved in national security, so i think the defence secretary's investigation it now has to get the bottom of how these documents were copied and carried out of the mod, how they came to be behind the bus stop in kent and he also has to speu stop in kent and he also has to spell out how he is going to get a grip of the system at the mod to

prevent something like this happening again. {lin prevent something like this happening again.— prevent something like this happening again. prevent something like this ha enin: aaain. . ., happening again. on that point of hard copies. _ happening again. on that point of hard copies, are _ happening again. on that point of hard copies, are you _ happening again. on that point of hard copies, are you surprised . happening again. on that point of. hard copies, are you surprised that that still happens? that they are carried around openly like that? i’m carried around openly like that? in surprised that they have been copied, i'm surprised they have been carried out of the mod in this way. i'm surprised that then they have been lost in the middle of the kent countryside. to be quite honest, our front line troops on hms defender were totally professional last week in dealing with the russian aggression in the black sea and they must be asking themselves, what about our back—up at the mod? how on earth did documents link directly to our operations come to be lost from the department in this way? that is why the investigation the defence secretary has told us he has got under way is so important and he has to bring that to a very rapid conclusion and then reassure the public after that.— conclusion and then reassure the public after that. many members of the ublic

more a lapse ofjudgment, professional competence standards that we expect of our government ministers, particular those at the highest level. he obviously did not want to go, matt hancock, but he had no choice. the prime minister obviously did not want to sack him, but he had no choice but to get rid of him and what is most important to me now is that the government get their act together and sort out a plan for the country to come it safely out of the lockdown restrictions and put in place at some of the things that have been missing to allow us to do that and it sajid javid has a lot on his plate to demonstrate that this can be done. fin plate to demonstrate that this can be done. , , . plate to demonstrate that this can bedone. , , . ., , plate to demonstrate that this can bedone. , , . ., i. be done. on the sub'ect actually of its security _ be done. on the sub'ect actually of its security at h be done. on the sub'ect actually of its security at that — be done. on the subject actually of its security at that moment - be done. on the subject actually of its security at that moment of - its security at that moment of health, i was thinking more in terms not so much of conduct, but more the fact that there were cameras in a private office. —— at the department of health. footage was then released to the media. of health. footage was then released to the media-— to the media. yes, i was in a government _ to the media. yes, i was in a government for— to the media. yes, i was in a government for nine - to the media. yes, i was in a government for nine years i to the media. yes, i was in a i

government for nine years until labour lost the election in 2010, there were not of his cameras at that stage. i have no idea whether this is commonplace now in ministerial offices. —— there were not office cameras. and if there are questions to ask about the security of that data, i'm sure they will be followed up, but in the end, what matters most now is that the government gets its act together in the way it has been failing over recent weeks and helps the country finally come through this pandemic and picks up the threads of our everyday lives again.— and picks up the threads of our everyday lives again. what should white ought _ everyday lives again. what should white ought security _ everyday lives again. what should white ought security teams - everyday lives again. what should white ought security teams do? l white ought security teams do? should there be an enquiry into this about how the camera got into the office and how the league got out? what are your thoughts on an enquiry? —— whitehall security. i would be quite most of the department of health was not looking at this, but i do not regard it, and most of the public i don't think regard this as the main question of

a concern. the biggest question of concern rested with matt hancock's conduct is a health secretary as well as in his office, but the real questions now are about the government and the decisions it must take on behalf of us all to plot a way through finally at this pandemic. way through finally at this pandemic— way through finally at this tandemic. �* , ., ., ,.,, way through finally at this tandemic. �* , ., ., ., pandemic. i'm “ust going to post on this one pandemic. i'm “ust going to post on this mere — pandemic. i'm just going to post on this one more time, _ pandemic. i'm just going to post on this one more time, i _ pandemic. i'm just going to post on this one more time, i appreciate i this one more time, i appreciate your point. i would say it is a concern for the public, because if you can't get a camera into the health secretary's office, what would stop the camera getting into boris johnson's private would stop the camera getting into borisjohnson's private office? —— can get a camera. this is why i'm thinking, is this normal behaviour at number ten? thinking, is this normal behaviour at numberten? i thinking, is this normal behaviour at number ten?— at number ten? i have no idea, i cannot speak _ at number ten? i have no idea, i cannot speak for _ at number ten? i have no idea, i cannot speak for government. i at number ten? i have no idea, i cannot speak for government. as at number ten? i have no idea, i l cannot speak for government. as i say, i was a minister until 2010, cannot speak for government. as i say, iwas a minister until 2010, we did not have office cameras in place then. i have no idea whether it is routine or whether this is a special arrangement for matt hancock's

office. i suspect there will be looking at that within government, thatis looking at that within government, that is fine. the bigger questions for us all art that challenged boris johnson and his government, get out of this pandemic, do it safely, put in place the arrangements for a proper track and trace system to support those who must isolate and a safe system at our borders, all of which, more than a year into this pandemic, we are still lacking and thatis pandemic, we are still lacking and that is the way for us it safely to come through their set finally as a country and to be able to manage this covid risk that we have to learn to live with the long—term. shadow secretary, thank you very much for your time. 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.

they have been hampered by smoke coming from fires, makes it very difficult to breathe when you are there. also by rain. you have to remember, i lived in miami for a long time in a similar building, and you have to imagine that these storeys are divided by concrete slabs, 30 centimetres thick, you can imagine 12 of these coming down, so they have to try and look through all of this tonnes of rubble and also be very careful of not risking their lives or risking the lives of possible survivors. i understand when it comes to the fires that they cannot simply wet them down because it adds more weight to the rubble as well. yes, the other thing is those fires come possibly from leaked fuel from cars that have been smashed from the collapse, so it is a source of fire. ok, the question is now about the structure and the process that those two buildings, one went down, but it was a pair of them, have started. yes, not only that, but they have ordered an audit of buildings of a similar age pre—1990. one of the main issues in miami—dade is water management, which comes from flood and rain

and create something called blackish water. that settles around the foundations of the buildings and corrodes them. a lot of the newer buildings have drainage pools, but these older buildings do not and about 70% of all residential buildings in miami—dade are pre—1990. 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 4.2 million people aged between 18 and 29 have now had a jab. 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, its 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. professor sir peter horby chairs nervtag — that's the government's advisory group on new and emerging respiratory virus threats. he said encouraging covid data that

suggests restrictions could be lifted next week was not the 19th ofjuly is the earliest that has been said and we have to be driven by the data and not the ., , ., , have to be driven by the data and not the . . . , ., not the dates, and there will be a lot of analysis _ not the dates, and there will be a lot of analysis coming _ not the dates, and there will be a lot of analysis coming up - not the dates, and there will be a lot of analysis coming up that - not the dates, and there will be a | lot of analysis coming up that date to make sure we are comfortable with that release. at the moment, the data is encouraging that we can do that, but we have it to make sure that, but we have it to make sure that we follow the data. thousands of people in bangladesh are scrambling to leave the capital dhaka to head to rural areas before the start of monday's new lockdown. under tough new measures people have been told they will only be able to leave their homes in an emergency. all government and private offices will be shut for a week and only medical—related transport will be allowed. it comes as a surge of cases of 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 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 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. you're watching bbc news. now it is time for the weather. hello. for the rest of the day, for many of you it remains dry, sunshine varies from one place to another but in the south we will see further rain in the form of heavy and thundery downpours. an area of low pressure centred towards north—western france, you will notice how the cloud is revolving around and as that spins around we get lots of that cloud coming around bringing the downpours, widely across southern counties of england and maybe south wales, fringing up to the m4. to the north we couldn't rule out an isolated shower in eastern england, the vast majority dry with sunny spells, the best in the west

and temperatures here up to around 21 degrees. in the mid teens, high teens in the east, 22 with any brighter breaks in the south. breezier in southern areas compared to recent days. those heavy and thundery downpours continue over this evening and overnight, into east anglia, midlands and wales, humid air brought in towards the south—east, 16 the low in london. fresher further north but here we start the day with some dry and bright weather on monday. it's here where high pressure dominates. as we go through monday, tuesday and wednesday, low pressure still towards the south, many parts of england and wales will still be susceptible to further showers. that includes in wimbledon, opening day could bring the odd downpour around through the day. there will be some play, but be wary of some interruptions and i wouldn't rule out the odd rumble of thunder. the day will begin wettest across parts of the midlands, wales, south—west of england, a few showers fringing into northern england, but by and large northern england, scotland and northern ireland, dry day, sunny spells, some sunshine further south

but here we could see more heavy and thundery showers developing as we go through the afternoon. temperatures up to 22 degrees here, 21, 22 in the west of scotland. most other areas in the high teens. those heavy and thundery showers continue into monday evening and monday night replaced by longer spells of rain pushing in from the east. they will be on and off through the day across east anglia and then the midlands and other parts of southern england. parts of wales, south—west, may be a bit drier compared to what we see in the next 2a hours. the best of the weather in the far north of england, scotland and northern ireland, highs of 2a in western scotland as we could see at times through the rest of the week. the driest weather here, showers in the first half of the week across england and wales. see you soon.
