calls to sack mr hancock. tomorrow, mps will be given an update on when covid restrictions will be lifted in england. 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 had not seen flu or respiratory syncytial 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, respiratory syncytial virus, which could put of pressure on the nhs. july 19, still on track? for sajid javid the challenges start immediately. helen catt, bbc news. saffron cordery is deputy chief executive of nhs providers, an organisation representing health trusts across england.

good afternoon. i appreciate you might want to start with quite a long list but can we try to distill what key things are you feel that sajid javid has to tackle in his first few weeks in office? sajid javid has to tackle in his first few weeks in office? what i list it is. first few weeks in office? what i list it is- i _ first few weeks in office? what i list it is. |think_ first few weeks in office? what i list it is. i think that _ first few weeks in office? what i list it is. i think that there - first few weeks in office? what i list it is. i think that there are l list it is. i think that there are three key things that we will point to under behalf of the trust that we represent. firstly, it's about tackling that covid surge which is “p tackling that covid surge which is up there and we really need to make sure that we remain on top of that, because it does pose a challenge, not only in terms of ongoing treatment but also to the other initiatives that are at play which are also important for to tackle. the second is thinking about how he deals with the recent spikes in demand for emergency medical care and mental health care and those sectors are really struggling at the

moment and then there is the critical issue of dealing with the backlog of regular operations and interventions and diagnostic testing. we know that the waiting list is about 5.1 million people, so we have broken through any kind of levels of backlog that we have seen before. he has got a big, big task at hand but i would say that we really do welcome the rapid appointment of a new secretary of state so there is someone who can focus on the task at hand.- focus on the task at hand. there is lots there- — focus on the task at hand. there is lots there. let's _ focus on the task at hand. there is lots there. let's start _ focus on the task at hand. there is lots there. let's start with - focus on the task at hand. there is lots there. let's start with your - lots there. let's start with your last point, the backlog because it's something we have discussed so much in the last few months with matt hancock still as health secretary at that time. from your organisation's perspective, this has been building and we have known about it and the figures are eye—watering. what sort of planning has been going on, what sort of, what has been said, what has been discussed to try to start

thinking because we have what should build, haven't we? it thinking because we have what should build, haven't we?— build, haven't we? it would be fair to say that — build, haven't we? it would be fair to say that it _ build, haven't we? it would be fair to say that it would _ build, haven't we? it would be fair to say that it would be _ build, haven't we? it would be fair to say that it would be even - build, haven't we? it would be fair| to say that it would be even higher if trusts had not been doing the heroic levels of effort that they have over the past few months but also last summer when they did a lot of work to tackle that backlog and you have all new initiatives in place to get through quickly as possible, i don't like to use the phrase, the industrialisation of some processes just so that we can get them done. things like cataracts where it's critical they take place and can be done quickly and effectively. there are measures in place in order to do that, but you gotta remember the nhs an ecosystem. and it has a finite number of staff. if you have the need to tackle the backlog and waiting list but when you suddenly have a spike in demand

from emergency care which is what we have seen over the last few weeks, there is a critical need to divert staff to tackle that and we have also got the whole issue of the new covid surge from the delta variant. if it was just a case of the nhs focusing on tackling the backlog in terms of waiting lists and regular operations, then that would be one thing but it's these three things coming together and also thinking about what's going on beyond hospitals. in mental health, and community services and ambulances. how does a new health secretary deal with those points that you have made from a practical perspective? because it takes years to train a doctor and still, some time to train a nurse. what could he do in his first few weeks to actually help what you have so clearly outlined? what we have got to see is firstly be secretary of state has a big job to get to grips with this brief, the

nhs is a massively complex industry and we really do need someone to get to grips with that very quickly, so it is about how does he understand those challenges, how does he work with the organisations that are both responsible for the strategy. nhs england and improvement and that relationship is critical that those delivering care on the front line and i think the critical thing to say is that this year is a really big year for the say is that this year is a really big yearfor the nhs beyond covid. it needs to think about and work out how it manages covid as a concept that we live with for quite some time, we've also got the task for the secretary of state of working on appointing a new chief executive for the nhs following simon stephen's departure later this month or next month and we have also got major legislation due to be launched imminently which will bring about

far—reaching reforms and we have a spending review and the nhs is responsible for a 40% of public spending allocated through that interview so that is a very big deal for the new secretary of state and others have mentioned this i'm sure, we don't have that reform to social care. if he needs a ten point list of things he needs to deal with, that's it. but he needs to do critically is listen to the people on the front line. listen to people dealing with the pandemic which enables people to freedom to deliver what they need to deliver whilst making sure that the financial support is they are so in a spending review, that will mean things like a commitment to three—year workforce plans so we can really secure that supply and massive investment in capital expenditure for the nhs and beyond. so that we can deal with that backlog of estates and really

building new hospitals.— that backlog of estates and really building new hospitals. thank you so much. a comprehensive _ building new hospitals. thank you so much. a comprehensive list - building new hospitals. thank you so much. a comprehensive list indeed. | much. a comprehensive list indeed. later we will be talking to the royal college of nursing as well about that topic and what they would like to see from the new health secretary. while we were hearing there we had new data through in the last few moments. the latest coronavirus data. uk wide figures, the uk recording as you see there, 11 deaths in the last 2a ever appear to. that is someone who has died within 28 days of a positive corporate test and more than 14,800 new cases as well. those are the latest uk wide statistics that have come through to us. a quick word on the vaccination programme. we are hearing that the total number of people who have had both doses of a covid vaccine is nearly 32.5

million, more i'm told that 61% of the adult population. more than 61% of adults in the uk have now had both doses of vaccine. 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. 0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams says the documents include material about the british warship involved in an incident with russian forces in the black sea last week. it lead to something of a confrontation with military, a range of papers to do with britain's arms trade, the 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 ministry of defence has launched an investigation into this, it is confirmed an official reported these 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, in his words, to reassure the public that no military operations had been put at risk. police in sussex are responding to a large unlicensed music event in the steyning area. social media footage showed hundreds of party goers dancing in the early hours of sunday. three people have been arrested for drink and drug—driving offences

an update on the situation in miami following that apartment collapse. its, following that apartment collapse. a news conference is going on as we speak and they may or of the local county where that, miami dade county has just confirmed to journalists that another eight bodies have been recovered from the scene. that's what she has just told reporters. that means the confirmed number of people who died in that apartment block collapses 13, huge number of people are still missing. a very grim tale indeed and so many families near miami beach still waiting for news. the section rescue operation continuing butjust

confirming to journalists that 13 people now known to have died in that apartment block collapse. i can see looking down that that news conference is very much ongoing. if we get more information i will bring that to you as well but that's the latest sad news from miami in florida. let's return now to our main story. the new health secretary, sajid javid and the challenges facing him in his new role. pat cullen is acting chief executive of the royal college of nursing. good afternoon. good afternoon. what would ou good afternoon. good afternoon. what would you say — good afternoon. good afternoon. what would you say are _ good afternoon. good afternoon. what would you say are the _ good afternoon. good afternoon. what would you say are the priorities - would you say are the priorities from your perspective, for sajid javid. what would you like to see from him?—

javid. what would you like to see from him? , ., ., ., ., from him? first of all, i would not underestimate _ from him? first of all, i would not underestimate the _ from him? first of all, i would not underestimate the challenges - from him? first of all, i would not l underestimate the challenges ahead for the new health secretary. they have not changed overnight, those priorities remain the same for nursing staff. what we would ask for, we do need need to see a national recovery plan taking place that addresses the crisis within health and social. he needs to look at both, one cannot looked at in isolation from the other. it's the nursing workforce crisis we are asking him to address, the crisis within our social care services, the crisis that we are facing with the backlog of people sitting on our waiting lists, some waiting over 12 months and again, the continuing public health crisis, managing our way stiffly out of this pandemic must be heard, as we heard this morning, it's the preparation needed for any further pandemics we are facing in the future.— for any further pandemics we are facing in the future. when you use the phrase — facing in the future. when you use the phrase workforce _ facing in the future. when you use the phrase workforce crisis, - facing in the future. when you use the phrase workforce crisis, are i the phrase workforce crisis, are there two elements to that? of course we have a current workforce

that has worked for well over a year now at an extraordinary pace, very, very big pressures. i assume you must hear from staff who are absolutely exhausted at the end of everything they have been through. you have current staff who need a break i guess, need to get over what they have been through, and are you saying that there are workforce issues on top of that? absolutely. nursin: issues on top of that? absolutely. nursing staff _ issues on top of that? absolutely. nursing staff went _ issues on top of that? absolutely. nursing staff went into _ issues on top of that? absolutely. nursing staff went into this - nursing staff went into this pandemic with what they were described to us as one hand tied behind their back. tens of thousands of vacancies within the nursing profession. but they manage their way through this pandemic giving their all. they are now exhausted. those vacancies still remain, they have not been addressed at all. if we're going to address those vacancies, we need to address nursing pay. we already know that there is strong possibility that already within the entry for the

health secretary is the peer—reviewed bodies report that will make the recommendations to him about what pay award will be granted to nurses. if you do not address nurses pay, we have no hope of addressing the crisis that we have got within the nursing workforce. filling those vacancies, holding on to the wonderfulness is that we have already got within our system. everyday, we deal with many calls from nurses, asking us for advice about leaving the profession. looking forjobs elsewhere, looking forjobs in other countries. there is hardly a day goes by that i don't take calls from nursing recruitment agencies worldwide asking how they can recruit from nurses from england across to other countries. we cannot afford to lose one single nurse out of our system. we cannot run a health service and social care without nurses. certainly not those waiting lists, the 400,000 people sitting waiting on outpatient appointments. if you want to do any

of that, you can't without nurses to... ., ., ., ~ ., to... have we not, i take on board what ou to... have we not, i take on board what you have _ to... have we not, i take on board what you have said _ to... have we not, i take on board what you have said but _ to... have we not, i take on board what you have said but haven't - to... have we not, i take on board what you have said but haven't we j what you have said but haven't we had reports in the last few months of an increase in the number of people applying for nurse training? isn't that some glimmer of positivity to take from this? it is but it takes _ positivity to take from this? it is but it takes three _ positivity to take from this? it 3 but it takes three years to train a nurse. the other area that does need addressed is how do we retain those brilliant nurses that we have got. those nurses that have seen us through this pandemic? how do we hold on to those people if we don't treat them recently with a proper pay award? 1% or 2% is not decent in their mind. we have to do everything in their mind to hold onto those nurses. it's not about balancing financial plans, we must not get into a place where we view the cost of everything and value of nothing. nurses have proven their value throughout this pandemic, they did it for years before that and

throughout this. we must look at addressing those workforce vacancies ljy addressing those workforce vacancies by holding onto those nurses. thank ou ve by holding onto those nurses. thank you very much _ by holding onto those nurses. thank you very much for — by holding onto those nurses. thank you very much for your— by holding onto those nurses. thank you very much for your time. - we are going to return to the situation in miami, that news conference going on following the collapse of the apartment block. let's hear some of those key points that are being made to journalists. we are working, we have 6—8 squads that are on the pale, actively searching at any given time. hundreds of team members are on standby to rotate as we fresh start. we are not lacking any personnel but we have the best. we have the right people and the right number and we're getting it done. as we continue to sweep these piles, with canines, cameras, sonar, we are standing with engineers as well,

making sure that the first responders are safe. we need to be sure that the pale does not fall on them, that it does not fall on any possible survivors and we're diligently pursuing that as we do our work. we are cutting a deep trench to assist us, it's now 125 feetin trench to assist us, it's now 125 feet in length. into the pile, it's feet in length. into the pile, it's feet wide and 40 feet deep. this trench is critical to the continuation of the search and rescue process. we have continued all night to build that trench. as a result of that, we were able to recover four additional bodies. result of that, we were able to recoverfour additional bodies. in the rubble. as well as additional human remains.
