he was speaking publicly for the first time since taking up his post following matt hancock's resignation for breaking self—distancing guidelines. questions are being asked about why borisjohnson ignored calls to sack mr hancock. our political correspondent helen catt reports. he's already done some of the top jobs in government but sajid javid is walking into a new department with challenges on a huge scale. we are still in a pandemic and i want to see that come to an end as soon as possible. that will be my most immediate priority to see that we can return to normal as soon and as quickly as possible. as he is back in government, matt hancock is out. he resigned after being caught on camera breaking social distancing rules by kissing a colleague. those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them, and that's why i've got to resign.

he's left his ministerialjob and his marriage, but remains an mp. in newmarket in his constituency, many agreed that the accusations of hypocrisy over the rules meant he had to stand down from government. i'm pleased he has resigned. ifeel like he had no choice but to resign. he is setting the rules, he setting the guidance, and he is expecting everybody to follow those, but then he hasn't followed those himself. how can he tell us to do one thing and then he does- something else himself? it's not right, is it? he's a bit of a hypocrite, isn't he? the decision to go was matt hancock's although he was helped by private discussions with senior tories. not, though, by the prime minister, who backed him publicly. 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. one cabinet minister this morning said he was right not to. we are in the middle of a very surreal situation with the pandemic, something that he has got huge experience of dealing with,

it's a phenomenal success with the vaccine roll—out we have seen with the team at the department of health. he and the prime minister wanted to deliver on that. the department of health will investigate how the image of matt hancock in his ministerial office was able to find its way onto the sun's front page. top of the in tray for the new health secretary, the government is due to give a statement to mps tomorrow about the potential lifting of the final legal restrictions in england onjuly 19th. then he'll need to think further ahead. we have not seen flu or respiratory virus last winter so there will be increased susceptibility in the population. there is a very real risk this winter of covid and flu and rsv, which could put pressure on the nhs. for sajid javid, the challenges start immediately. helen catt�*s here with me now.

there were people urging boris johnson to get rid of matt hancock on friday. what do we know, how much do we know about why that clearly didn't happen. we do we know about why that clearly didn't happen-— do we know about why that clearly didn't ha en. ~ ~' ., ., didn't happen. we know from looking back at how the _ didn't happen. we know from looking back at how the prime _ didn't happen. we know from looking back at how the prime minister - didn't happen. we know from looking back at how the prime minister has i back at how the prime minister has reacted in similar situations before that he's not a prime minister that likes to be bouncing to sacking someone. i think in some ways it's now surprise he came out backing matt hancock initially, certainly on friday the line was matt hancock had apologised, the matter is closed, downing street said. senior conservative figures behind—the—scenes said to the prime minister and matt hancock, the situation is not possible for him to continue as health secretary given that tension between having broken the guidelines, the guidance that he had helped to set, and what that would do to his portability when he had to come out and talk about further restrictions for example to the public. senior toy figures urge that in the background over the last couple of days. it was going to

realistically be whether matt hancock decided he was going to go or not and having listened to those figures and reflected, he has decided to go. we know he is an mp with ambition, to him, what the rest of the party thinks does matter and i think that might be the big difference, he might be thinking of dominic cummings last year where actually, there was more of a concerted effort last year you saw cabinet minister after cabinet minister defend him, we did not see that with matt hancock over the last couple of days but the big difference is that he is a political figure, what the party thinks matters. �* , . ~ figure, what the party thinks matters. �*, ., ~ ., matters. let's talk about said javid, the d matters. let's talk about said javid, the man, i matters. let's talk about said javid, the man, people i matters. let's talk about sajid - javid, the man, people remember he has held back offices in the past but remind us, the circumstances under which he left the cabinet and what his approach and style might perhaps tell us about how he's gone to operate in the health department. he has held some really big roles in

government which in normal times would be more high—profile than the health secretary. the biggest one, he was the home secretary and the chancellor for about six months. he was the home secretary and the chancellorfor about six months. he then stepped down, you might remember there was a big row around whether or not he could keep his own advisers. there was an attempt by downing street to consolidate the centre of little bit and he was told that he would have to sack all of his advisers by dominic cummings. the former aide to the prime minister and he refused to do so and quit rather than sack them. that was when he was last in government. this is him coming back, his return to government. we know in his background, he has a finance background, he has a finance background and so... we know that he got quite interested in finance back in the 80s in fact. what the rest of the party is going to be looking at is that there was always some

tension that a lot of backbenchers felt perhaps matt hancock was overly cautious. i think there will be a bit of... may be not an expectation but certainly backbenchers will be looking to see whether sajid javid has quite the same style or level of caution over restrictions and matt hancock were seen as will be driving, being a driving force behind restrictions and i think there will be quite interesting attention paid to whether sajid javid takes the same approach. we will find out more about the restrictions in the coming week. thank you. i'm nowjoined byjean adamson who's a member of covid—i9 bereaved families forjustice and lost her father to coronavirus last year. thank you so much forjoining us on bbc news. i'm interested, the

viewers will be interested, and whether you, your feelings about matt hancock standing down. i think it should not — matt hancock standing down. i think it should not have _ matt hancock standing down. i think it should not have taken _ matt hancock standing down. i think it should not have taken him - matt hancock standing down. i think it should not have taken him this - it should not have taken him this long to stand down. 2a hours too late. ifeel that long to stand down. 2a hours too late. i feel that there was not really any other option, his position had become untenable. and he needed to go. simple as that. when you are in a position of senior leadership in government, as he was, you cannot afford to be flouting the rules and he flouted the rules that he made and which expected the rest of us to follow so in my mind, there is no question that his behaviour was unacceptable, he had lost our

confidence and yes, he needed to go. those rules that you mention, you yourself had to follow them to the most painful end, in the most painful way, most painful end, in the most painfulway, because most painful end, in the most painful way, because your father fell unwell while he was in a care home? ., _, . fell unwell while he was in a care home? ., . ~y fell unwell while he was in a care home? ., . g ., home? that correct. my father contracted _ home? that correct. my father contracted covid _ home? that correct. my father contracted covid in _ home? that correct. my father contracted covid in a _ home? that correct. my father contracted covid in a care - home? that correct. my father| contracted covid in a care home home? that correct. my father - contracted covid in a care home and subsequently died. we were not allowed to go into the care home, for the last few weeks of his life we were not able to have any tactile contact at all. we were reduced to talking to him through a window. which when i think back, it's absolutely heartbreaking. that we were not there to really comfort him and be close to him in a tactile way

for those last precious weeks of his life. we, as bereaved families, feel very, very disappointed and very let down by matt hancock's behaviour. because you follow the rules and you felt that was the right thing to do? yes, absolutely. ithink felt that was the right thing to do? yes, absolutely. i think we all have a part to play. we got on and did what was required. ifeel that a part to play. we got on and did what was required. i feel that there is a real problem with integrity here. notjust with matt hancock. but with the entire government. we have heard the lies and the deceit and the lack of transparency that has been shown. it also serves to

compound the grief that we feel. there is a new health secretary in place, sajid javid. what would you like to see from him? i place, sajid javid. what would you like to see from him?— like to see from him? i would like to see sajid _ like to see from him? i would like to see sajid javid _ like to see from him? i would like to see sajid javid step _ like to see from him? i would like to see sajid javid step up - like to see from him? i would like to see sajid javid step up to - like to see from him? i would like to see sajid javid step up to the l to see sajid javid step up to the plate and do the right thing, which is to get the public inquiry, a statutory public inquiry under way as soon as possible. no more delaying, holding back, delaying tactics, we need to have a public inquiry and at the very least, a rapid review so that we can understand what went wrong, why it went wrong, and who is accountable for what went wrong and make

recommendations going forward, so that we can save lives over the coming months, because we're not out of woods yet. we still have some way to go and it's important that we understand what went wrong, so that we can save lives and do better the next time around because what we have had is a national tragedy, we are about, we are into potentially a third wave. how much longer, how many more lives need to be lost, before we learn some lessons? from this tragedy. before we learn some lessons? from this tragedy-— this tragedy. thank you so much, really good _ this tragedy. thank you so much, really good of _ this tragedy. thank you so much, really good of you _ this tragedy. thank you so much, really good of you to _ this tragedy. thank you so much, really good of you to give - this tragedy. thank you so much, really good of you to give us - this tragedy. thank you so much, really good of you to give us youri really good of you to give us your time. we send you and yourfamily our very best wishes. thank you very much indeed.

our very best wishes. thank you very much indeed-— much indeed. thank you, you're welcome- _ classified ministry of defence documents containing details about hms defender and the british military have been found at a bus stop in kent. a member of the public passed the papers to the bbc. the government has admitted that it's a serious breach of security, and says an investigation has been launched. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams says the documents cover a range of topics including the british warship in black sea. it lead to something of a confrontation, it had to do with britain's defence dialogue with the united states and more sensitively

perhaps a paper which discusses proposals for the uk military presence in afghanistan after the end of the current nato operation which is winding down at the moment. clearly that is something unlike the hms defender episode which is happening in the future, it obviously involves all of our nato allies and particularly the united states. that's a document of extreme sensitivity. the military of defence has launched an investigation into this, it is confirmed an official reportedly is papers missing but the labour party is demanding an urgent investigation. the shadow defence spokesman is saying that he wants the defence secretary to report to parliament this week to reassure the public that no military operations had been put at risk. it's thought half of all adults under—30 in england will have received a first dose of a covid

and a seriously injured young child before coming across the second man. police say a taser was deployed before shots were fired. ibiza, the party capital of the world, was forced to stop dancing and close down its entire club scene because of the pandemic. now the mediterranean island is hoping a test event this weekend could prove the vital clubbing industry is capable of reopening without causing a spike in infections, just in time for the return of british tourists. anna holligan was there, and sent this report. 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 50s, they're bringing their kids here and they're renting villas. so the clubs play a really important part of being that gateway to discover the island. djs worry that 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. there needs to be a place for itj somewhere and if it's not here, it's going to 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. more than 40% of lgbt people don't know where to seek support in older age, according to the lgbt foundation. many say they've experienced homophobia in care settings or social housing, but new schemes are now springing up to support older people, asjessica parker reports. this is rita's story. "i'm living in sheltered accommodation and a majority of older residents i know still would not accept me." rita wrote this testimony before she passed away in 2019. "at times it makes me feel unacceptable and isolated.

"thank goodness i have friends here who accept me for what i am "and not what others want me to be." rita had been at the heart of this lgbt group for older people. based in greater manchester, maggie is the group's community manager. she'd lived quite a nice teenage life and a young adult life. but as she became older, she had to go back in the closet and for one reason only. rita moved into sheltered accommodation. she used to listen to homophobic conversations. coming to our group, we then became her extended family. the group provides a space for companionship and support. i've had a lot of homophobic hate. i got liquid thrown on me from a passing car, and ijust froze, i thought it was acid. it scared the living daylights out of me. you know, there's not that many things out i there yet for older people. this group now, it's.

done wonders for me, anyway, and ijust wish there was more of it. l i'm not very confident with other people, about me being gay, i must admit. i wouldn't advertise the fact, if i wasn't in a gay environment. 0ther lgbt people are more understanding, for a start, and as we've said here, it's like a family unit. research suggests many lgbt people, over 40%, don't know where to get support in older age, but schemes aimed at tackling these issues look to be on the rise. this old hospital site in manchester is set to be transformed into one of the uk's first lgbt older person's housing schemes. councillor bev craig is one of those behind it. lgbt people tell me that actually, everywhere else you can live - in communities of choice, i and actually maybe we need to think about that. as people age, you know, being 55, 60, 70, you're. still in the prime of your life, you should be able _ to enjoy your life.

maggie says she doesn't want people to suffer in the way rita did. i don't want any other older person to not be accepted, to hide who they are and to go back in the closet. jessica parker, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. 0ur our range of weather across the uk, hazy across much of scotland and northern ireland, dry, set to be dry for several days if not all of the week ahead whereas for much of england and wales, a lot of cloud around. you may see outbreaks of rain as well, especially southern england because we are closer to low pressure bringing rather more unsettled weather in the week ahead and the potential for quite unsettled weather in the week ahead and the potentialfor quite heavy, thundery rain in particularfor southern england and south wales. more of this rain will start to push
