highlight, firstly, floors at the border, it's thought that the border, it's thought that the cluster of cases here is linked to a limousine driver working with international flight crew at the airport —— flaws. also australia's very low rates of vaccinations. so big issues for australia's political leaders to grapple with as those numbers here in sydney continue to climb. for now, sydney continue to climb. for now. thank — sydney continue to climb. for now, thank you, _ sydney continue to climb. for now, thank you, phil mercer in sydney. let's get some of the day's other news. the united states says it has carried out air strikes against iranian—backed militias in iraq and syria in retaliation for drone attacks on us personnel and facilities in iraq. iraqi border guards say at least four militiamen were killed. the last time mr biden ordered strikes against a target in syria was in february. the uk government is preparing to say whether the final step in lifting all covid restrictions in england might be taken early. when borisjohnson announced

collapsed, almost 160 residents disappeared beneath the rubble in seconds. only a handful have been found. as of today, one victim passed away in the hospital and we've recovered eight more victims on site, so i am confirming today that the death toll is at nine. theirfamilies can now only pray for a miracle. at the local church, the priest read the list of parishioners missing since the collapse. a quiet seaside community now ripped apart. yet, while hope remains, the families and survivors are clinging to it. one churchgoer�*s family had a miraculous escape and are struggling to comprehend how their small apartment is still standing. i have a lot of survivor's guilt on this, you know? why me, and why not my neighbourfrom 604? she was a lovely lady and i hope to god they are going to find somebody but, man, if you saw what i saw, nothingness, and then you go

over there and you see all the rubble, how can somebody survive that? there is little for the families to do but continue to wait for information. many have said that they do truly believe they could still be reunited with their relatives. others have now accepted the grim fact that the chances they survived are very slim indeed. william sanchez is waiting to hear about his aunt and uncle, but is realistic about their prospects. obviously, we had a lot more hope the first and second day but at this point, we are all talking about it amongst us in the family and we're not expecting much, but again, we're not god, nor any form of higher power, and we are not the ones who make the decisions, so we are waiting until we really have concrete evidence that it's their bodies that are there. as the work goes on, more than 150 people are still to be found. the moment this community fears next is hearing that this has

moved from a search and rescue operation to one of search and recovery. will grant, bbc news, miami. let's get the latest from our correspondent in miami beach, beatriz diez from bbc mundo. what more can you tell us? well, as to number of casualties or number of unaccounted people, the numbers are still the same because that was, that was information that came in the last press conference, so we're still talking nine people confirmed dead and 152 remain unaccounted for. there have been no any other news for the last hours so that's still the case. i mean, the rescue teams are still working non—stop, 24—7, and they keep talking about search and rescue operation so they haven't been talking about they haven't been talking about the recovery operation yet.

now, i understand they will be a full investigation into the collapse of the building after this rescue mission. but in the meantime, an engineer's report from 2018 has emerged, highlighting some serious concerns about the building? exactly. during the weekend we have heard about that report from 2018. while the report itself didn't talk about an imminent risk of collapse, it did flag up some failures. it was talking about cracking in the beams and the walls in the garage, for example. an original error in the design of the building. so lots of people have been asking the authorities about this but, for example, the mayor of surfside stressed that the main focus now is still searching for possible survivors. they said that the investigation is the third priority. he said the first is to try to get them out. the second is to support

the families. and third, find out what really happened. the real cause is still unclear, even though we have heard about this report and other studies. for now, thank you. beatriz diaz from miami beach. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: temperature records tumble as a life—threatening heatwave continues across north america. members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade centre, armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim to certain parts of this country as our land. i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner". i cheering and applause as the uk woke up to the news that it is to exit the european union, leave campaigners began celebrating. in total, 17.4 million people voted for the uk to leave the eu. the medical research council

news for now. not quite, but we have wimbledon, of course. the wimbledon tennis championship is back after being cancelled last year due to the pandemic. in some ways the tournament will look the same but in other ways it will be very different with the traditional queues for tickets replaced by an online scramble, and packed stands reduced by social distancing. graham satchell reports. everything looks the same at wimbledon. manicured, pampered, perfect. but take a closer look and this year, almost everything is different. this, for example, is where somebody would normally cue, camping overnight to get tickets. but because of social distancing rules, there is no camping, there is no queue. for some,

camping in line, the anticipatory politeness of it all defines notjust wimbledon all defines not just wimbledon but all defines notjust wimbledon but what it means to be british. this year, tickets have been sold online, leaving some restricted must am delighted. some restricted must am delighted-— some restricted must am deliahted. �* ., , , ., delighted. i'm absolutely over the moon- _ delighted. i'm absolutely over the moon- i — delighted. i'm absolutely over the moon. i - _ delighted. i'm absolutely over the moon. i - i— delighted. i'm absolutely over the moon. i - i didn't for i delighted. i'm absolutely over the moon. i - i didn't for a i the moon. i — i didn't for a moment imagine i would be able to get tickets. she moment imagine i would be able to get tickets.— to get tickets. she works for the nhs- — to get tickets. she works for the nhs- a _ to get tickets. she works for the nhs. a moment- to get tickets. she works for the nhs. a moment of- to get tickets. she works for the nhs. a moment ofjoy l to get tickets. she works for| the nhs. a moment ofjoy in to get tickets. she works for i the nhs. a moment ofjoy in a high year. the nhs. a moment of 'oy in a high year-fl the nhs. a moment of 'oy in a high yeahfi high year. -- hard year. a double — high year. -- hard year. a double whammy, - high year. -- hard year. a double whammy, really. l high year. -- hard year. a i double whammy, really. there are some _ double whammy, really. there are some other— double whammy, really. there are some other changes i double whammy, really. there are some other changes were l double whammy, really. there i are some other changes were not to get in, you need to show you have been double jabbed or have had a negative lateral flow test and it will feel different. capacity, for example, to start with will just be 50% of normal. to kind of iive just be 50% of normal. to kind of give you _ just be 50% of normal. to kind of give you an _ just be 50% of normal. to kind of give you an idea _ just be 50% of normal. to kind of give you an idea of- just be 50% of normal. to kind of give you an idea of the i of give you an idea of the normal wimbledon in the first week is absolutely, actually going to see a match on the

wimbledon in our business coverage in around five minutes time. don't go anywhere. back in a moment after this. see you soon. hello. most of us saw a bit of sunshine at some point during the course of the weekend, and some places will see a little bit more through the coming week, particularly across the northern half of the uk. it is a north—south split for our weather at the moment. a lot of dry weather with some sunshine in the north, but further south, more cloud bringing showers or longer spells of rain and some thunderstorms around as well, so very mixed fortunes this week. high pressure is toppling in across scotland and northern ireland. low pressure sits close to southern england, and that is going to be throwing those showers up across many southern parts of england and wales too.

monday does dawn on a cloudy note for england and wales, initially some heavy rain for the south—west towards the midlands. should ease for a time, but then we'll see further heavy showers developing for east anglia, the south—east as well. they're going to be hit and miss. if you do catch one of these heavy downpours across southern england during the afternoon, could be some hail and some torrential rain bringing the risk of localised flooding and perhaps some travel disruption. further north, a much different story — lots of dry weather with some sunshine for northern ireland, scotland and the far north of england as well. and of course, today marks the start of the championships at wimbledon. we may well see a bit of rain interrupting play for a time monday, tuesday. things do look a bit drier and a bit warmer later in the week. now, heading through monday evening and overnight into tuesday, further heavy showers and thunderstorms in the south. few spots of drizzle further north as well. much of northern england, scotland and northern ireland remaining largely clear and dry, so temperatures getting down into single figures in one or two spots, but staying mainly mild, quite humid—feeling, in fact, down towards the south—east. so more of the same on tuesday for england and wales, a fairly cloudy day, especially the further south and east you are. chance of catching a few more of these heavy showers, especially for parts of southern and eastern england

during the afternoon. again, some hail with thunderstorms and torrential downpours. what a difference further north, light winds and sunshine for northern england, ireland and scotland. perhaps one or two rogue showers. temperatures in glasgow up to about 2a degrees. it does look eventually from about wednesday onwards that low pressure will start to ease away towards the near continent and higher pressure will build later in the week more widely across the uk before weather fronts push in for the weekend but from about wednesday onwards, a lot of places are seeing drier and warmer weather on the way before showers push their way in from the west during the course of the weekend. bye for now.
