secretary sajid javid begins his first week in the job. he'll update mps later on plans for lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england. the former chancellor says his priority is to see a return to normal as soon as possible. despite his appointment, labour says the issue surrounding matt hancock's resignation is far from over. james reynolds has more. he was once in charge of the nation's money, now sajid javid is in charge of its health. the dispute over the power of downing street, which led him to resign as chancellorjust a month before the start of the pandemic, appears to have been set aside. 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. mrjavid replaces matt hancock. he resigned on saturday, a day after images were published of him in an embrace at work with a colleague, breaking covid

restrictions that he had a leading role in imposing for the government. not so for the opposition. if anybody thinks that the resignation of bangkok is the end of the issue, i think they're wrong. and i think the incoming health secretary and the prime minister now have serious questions to answer about the cctv, about the access, the policies, the contracts, etc. but the new health secretary may be more interested in this the country's vaccination programme. over the weekend, hundreds of walk—in centres opened across england. on saturday alone, more than 400,000 received a jab across the uk. the nhs says that half of all 18 to 30—year—olds in england have now been given their first dose. the government wants the rest to get theirs byjuly 19th. that's when restrictions are due to be lifted.

sajid javid says his immediate priority is a return to normal in his previous stint in cabinet. he will sit right next to boris johnson as health secretary, though. will he have the ear of the prime minister? james reynolds, bbc news. lodge to digestive this morning. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. good morning to you. a couple of issues coming out of that. the first issues coming out of that. the first is about that announcement about covid restrictions in england. we are going to hearfrom sajid javid later. what can we expect? 50. are going to hear from sajid javid later. what can we expect? so, this has been pencilled _ later. what can we expect? so, this has been pencilled in _ later. what can we expect? so, this has been pencilled in for _ later. what can we expect? so, this has been pencilled in for a - later. what can we expect? so, this has been pencilled in for a little - has been pencilled in for a little while now because remember when borisjohnson announced that while now because remember when boris johnson announced that step four of lifting the lockdown restrictions in england was going to be delayed by four weeks, he said that two weeks later they would have a data and just update people. in terms of the date of the number of

people testing positive for covid has gone up 60% in the past week. ministers and officials expected that because the economy is open, people are moving around more and be dealt out variant, first identified in india, which is now prevalent here, is much more transmissible. they expected that to happen. the key thing is the number of people going into hospital has only increased by a very small amount in comparison to that. so that suggests the vaccine is working. what has not changed is the mathematics of all of this, which is the reason for the delay was that more people could get their second dose of the vaccine, so more people would have more protection. and i still several million people who have got to get the second dose, which makes me think even though the data is looking 0k think even though the data is looking ok now, and there is a bit less uncertainty certainty that there was a couple of weeks ago, we are still going to be looking at the unlocking be delayed for another two weeks. still the 19th ofjuly. it weeks. still the 19th ofjuly. it was exactly a week ago today that we

were speaking to matt hancock on this programme when we were in coventry hospital. we just heard from sir keir starmer they are in our report talking about what needs to happen now. it seems that there are still quite a few questions to answer after what we saw over the weekend with the resignation of matt hancock? , ,., weekend with the resignation of matt hancock? , ., hancock? yes, so matt hancock's de arture hancock? yes, so matt hancock's departure hasn't _ hancock? yes, so matt hancock's departure hasn't drawn _ hancock? yes, so matt hancock's departure hasn't drawn a - hancock? yes, so matt hancock's departure hasn't drawn a total- hancock? yes, so matt hancock's| departure hasn't drawn a total line under this because labour are asking questions this morning about reports that he used a private e—mail address to do government business, which was in the newspapers over the weekend. labour have written to the cabinet secretary, the top civil servant and information commissioner, the regulatorfor this commissioner, the regulator for this stuff, commissioner, the regulatorfor this stuff, asking for them to investigate whether that was actually what happened and whether thatis actually what happened and whether that is ok. then there are questions about matt hancock's new partner, about matt hancock's new partner, about how she was appointed to a couple of roles in the department of health. and also, who sponsored her parliamentary security pass? there

was another minister who sponsored that. there are still questions about the judgment of the prime minister. 0n about the judgment of the prime minister. on friday it looks like he was prepared to hold on to matt hancock. it was only after pressure from government backbenchers and maybe some ministers say they were not prepared to defend him, matt hancock changed his mind himself that meant he finally went. even though he is gone, still lots of questions. whether those questions will lead to anything more serious than the departure of the cabinet minister, i think that is quite unlikely. the question will be asked and they could be some more strands teased out. we and they could be some more strands teased out. ~ .., and they could be some more strands teased out. ~ ., ., teased out. we can ask some of those auestions teased out. we can ask some of those questions today- _ teased out. we can ask some of those questions today. we _ teased out. we can ask some of those questions today. we are _ teased out. we can ask some of those questions today. we are going - teased out. we can ask some of those questions today. we are going to - questions today. we are going to discuss some of those issues with the justice secretary, discuss some of those issues with thejustice secretary, robert buckland, here after half past seven. a service of thanksgiving will be held at st paul's cathedral to recognise the work of nhs staff who have been on the frontline throughout the pandemic. it will take place on 5thjuly, the same date as the nhs in england was founded 73 years ago. simonjones reports. applause and cheering. emotional tributes to nhs workers,

who've risen to the challenge of the coronavirus crisis. this was for carers, people coming out on their doorsteps near the start of the pandemic to thank doctors, nurses and health staff who've made such a difference. now, st paul's cathedral is set to host a socially distance service on the 73rd anniversary of the foundation of the nhs. among those invited are mae parsons, who administered the first covid vaccine in the world outside of a trial to margaret keenan, and catherine dawson, who credits doctors with saving the life of her and her baby. catherine was 32 weeks pregnant when she contracted covid, and had to spend eight days on a ventilator. also present will be some of the doctors who helped treat the first coronavirus patients in the uk. i will be there with colleagues, and we will be remembering what's been going on.

and so all of that will be quite an emotional experience. we've all been at times very emotional, whether it's tiredness, whether it was fatigue, whether it was just personal issues. all of this has affected us over the last 18 months. the nhs in england has provided hospital treatment for around 400,000 seriously ill covid patients. there have been challenges with equipment, with the toll the pandemic has taken on staff. there will be more issues ahead, but the simple service will provide a moment to take stock and to hope for better times. simon jones, bbc news. we will be talking to somebody who is going to that service, but later here on breakfast. around 150 people are still missing, four days after the collapse of a 12—storey apartment block in florida. officials say the death toll from the disaster has risen to nine. rescuers are using sniffer dogs and sonar to search for survivors,

but hopes of finding anyone alive continue to fade. will grant reports from miami. these things aren't supposed to happen in america. the infrastructure of the richest country in the world, in one of its richest cities, is meant to be solid and reliable. but when the 12 stories of champlain towers collapsed, almost 160 residents disappeared beneath the rubble in seconds. only a handful have been found. 0ne 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. their families 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. yeah, while hope remains, the families and survivors are clinging to it. 0ne 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 neighbour from 604? she was like a lovely lady, you know? and i hope to god that they're going to find somebody. but, man, you know, if you saw what i saw... nothingness. you know, you go over there and you see, like, you know, 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, second day, but at this point, we're all talking about it

amongst us in the family, and we're not expecting much. but then again, we're not god, nor any form of higher power, and we're not the ones who make the decisions. so we're 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. the defence secretary, ben wallace, and several senior military officers are self—isolating. the ministry of defence says general sir nick carter — the chief of the defence staff — received a positive covid test during routine screening last week. a day earlier, he met with mr wallace and other senior colleagues in oxfordshire, and those present are now self—isolating for ten days. now that restrictions are easing, families are finally able to mark special occasions like birthdays and weddings with their loved ones. twins edith and dorcas

from worcestershire turned 100 last year, but had to wait until their 101st birthday to have the party they were hoping for. they were joined by family and friends for a celebration this weekend, ahead of the big day today. here's what they had to say about turning 101. get on very nothing else to add on that. apart from the film, seven brides for

seven brothers. carol is at wimbledon for us this morning, with the weather. it would not be wimbledon without a street sweeper or something going by. already a hive of industry. the police dogs have arrived. fairly misty and murky. dank this morning. a real north— south divide. the forecast for today at wimbledon is pretty wet. some showers in the forecast. they will be on, they will be off this afternoon they could be heavy and also thundery with temperatures getting up to 20 degrees. at the moment it feels humid. we have the north — south divide. heavy rain across the south—west of england, wales and into the midlands with a new band

coming into the south of england. into scotland and northern ireland we are back into sunnier skies. although the rain this morning will ease, it will be replaced by showers. at times more cloud coming in from the north sea. this will be more expensive this evening and overnight. showers across parts of england and wales and clear skies across scotland and northern ireland. tomorrow, almost a repeat performance. it will be cloudy, dank with showers. some will be heavy and thundery. more low cloud tomorrow, anywhere from yorkshire on the east coast and into scotland. in glasgow, temperatures could be as high as 24. for most of us they will be in the high teens all the low 20s. back to the studio. it is quarter past six on breakfast. last month, two—year—old harper—lee

died in hospital after swallowing a battery. now, just five weeks after her death, harper—lee's mum, stacy, and sisterjamie—leigh have chosen to speak to us about the dangers these batteries pose to children. phil mackie has been to meet them. harper—lee was a typical bright, curious, effervescent, happy two—year—old. she loved to dance. she really loved to dance. the best thing she listened to is, she loved rave music, rave and dance music, and when she danced to that, she should always give a little fist pump. five weeks ago, her older sister was looking after her and she suddenly became ill and had just went backwards.

i had just went backwards. then she said back_ i had just went backwards. then she said back up. i rang an ambulance it must have been very frightening for you? no—one knew that she swallowed a tiny button battery, and the acid was burning through a major artery. she had to have two litres blood transfusion. she left surgery. she was still talking. the last thing she ever said to me was, mummy, i need you. i told her i loved her. that is the last time isil her. halfway through surgery, a surgeon

came out and asked if she had swallowed anything. not that i knew. that is when they told me they thought she had swallowed a button battery. we went to children's intensive care where we were waiting for more news. he said, i am sorry. that is what i could remember. she has left a very big hole. very. everywhere i went, she'd follow. the house is just the house isjust so quiet, isn't it? all from a button battery did not know dangers of. and i don't think anybody really knows the dangers. and when you realised what had

happened, what did you then think about those batteries, and particularly about the remote control in this instance? the way they are relatively easily accessible. and we actually found the remote without the battery. and so i turned it around and itjust came out. it wasn't even secure. there was no lock. there was no little thing you had to push to get it out. itjust slid out. harper—lee's granddad has built a memorial at the bottom of the garden. the family really hopes that by talking about other lives will be saved. it's about awareness. if i can save one child, or a hundred, then i've promised my baby i've done what i've done. they need to be more secure. parents need to check. just check, check, check. they are in everything, children's books. for now, the campaign

is keeping them going. just a few weeks after burying harper—lee, their emotions are still raw. phil mackie, bbc news, stoke—on—trent. a desperately sad story. thank you to harper lee's family for choosing to share their story with us so they could raise awareness of the dangers of button batteries. we have some helpful advice coming your way. we will be reflecting on the awful time for the family. thank you for taking the opportunity. it can to us this morning. let's take a look at today's front pages. the events surrounding matt hancock's departure as health secretary continue to dominate a number of papers. the guardian says the prime minister still has huge questions to answer in the wake of mr hancock's resignation. the telegraph reports that his replacement — former chancellor sajid javid — will make ending lockdown

"as soon as possible", his "most immediate priority". the mail focuses on the impact of the pandemic on education, leading on reports that nearly 100,000 pupils didn't return to full—time education when their schools reopened. the paper says they're the "lost children of lockdown". online, there's been reaction overnight to the newsjohanna konta is out of wimbledon. plenty more on that from sally. she is live from nsw 19. she had to withdraw after one of her team tested positive for coronavirus, meaning she has to self—isolate for ten days. serena williams, she has won seven singles titles. she has a clothing line out. one is an anti—covid

dress. that is clever. it looks like a ruffled neck. you can yank it up so it doubles as a facemask. reminds me i have a few dresses that could be used like that. very clever. on the theme of wimbledon, judy murray has been talking about sports day and saying the next generation of sporting heroes are being held back by schools holding non—competitive sports days. without a winning and losing element, it deprives children of a chance to shine and crucial life skills. we are also talking about england against germany, which is live on bbc tomorrow. we are also going to be talking to a german comedian. talking about shared memories and repairing for a whopper of a game.

it has now been four days since an apartment building in the surfside area of miami collapsed, with most of the residents believed to be inside. nine people have been confirmed dead, and more than 150 are still unaccounted for, including the mother and grandmother of pablo rodriguez, whojoins us now from miami. we can speak to pablo right now. thank you forjoining us. i know this is a hard time for you and your family. just tell us about your mother stop she lived in these apartments, didn't she? thank you for havin: apartments, didn't she? thank you for having me _ apartments, didn't she? thank you for having me and _ apartments, didn't she? thank you for having me and giving _ apartments, didn't she? thank you for having me and giving me - apartments, didn't she? thank you for having me and giving me an - for having me and giving me an opportunity to tell my story. she lived in an apartment. my grandmother still drove, she was 18 years old. she went over to stay with my motherjust to keep her company the day it happened. they were coming over to pick up my son that morning to take him out to

dose of vaccine is encouraged to do so either by booking an appointment or turning up at the stadium. latest government figures show over five million londoners have received their first dose and three and a half million have been double vaccinated. the wimbledon tennis championships are back and get underway later today at the all england club having been cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. many businesses in the area suffered due to the lack of foot fall, but one owner is delighted to be welcoming visitors back to sw19 — despite the tournament operating at 50% capacity across the grounds. compared to last year, that was tumbleweed blowing down the high street. and it was upsetting and we felt sad and upset that, you know, something that we have perhaps taken for granted wasn't here. yes, its reduced capacity this year. yes, a lot of the players aren't allowed to stay local. but any tennis is better than no tennis at all. a teenage boy has been arrested following a fatal stabbing of a 26—year—old man, who was killed at an illegal rave near millwall�*s

football ground on saturday evening. police found the victim in an industrial unit at stockholm road and he was pronounced dead at the scene. the met police has urged anyone who was at the music event to get in touch. new flexible rail season tickets for travel in and out of london can be used from today. rail passengers can buy eight tickets for travel between two named train stations to use any time over 28 days. the department for transport says the flexible ticket could potentially save two and three day—a—week commuters hundreds of pounds every year. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. just minor delays on the dlr. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a mostly dry start to the day. plenty of cloud. mild out there. the heavy rain from last night has

cleared but there could still be a few showers lingering on and we will see that cloud thin and break as we head through the morning to give us some spells of brightness and sunshine. where we get the extra heat in the sunshine, there could also be thunderstorms developing in the second half of the day. watch out for some heavy downpours, maybe a rumble or two of thunder. top temperatures peaking between 21, maybe as high as 23 celsius with a light north—easterly wind. as we head through this evening, we'll still see showers rumble on for a time but they should gradually fade away to leave us with a mostly dry night to come. plenty of cloud, temperatures still in double figures. a mild start to the day tomorrow. mostly dry on tuesday morning. there will be some more showers moving in from the south. longer spells of rain as we head through tuesday afternoon and into the evening. wednesday, it is looking mostly dry. quite an unsettled week ahead generally i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now.

can i get back to the vaccination programme? i am sure you will remember, we have discussed it with yourself many times. the gap between the first and second jab. there was a lot of discussion about it being extended to 12 weeks and then being reduced. there is now talk about there being at least three weeks between vaccines. mit? there being at least three weeks between vaccines.— between vaccines. why is it important? _ between vaccines. why is it important? essentially - between vaccines. why is it| important? essentially what between vaccines. why is it - important? essentially what the vaccine does is it stimulates and immune response, get your body to produce antibodies and may also act as a memory. if you are to get infection in the future, your body is prime to fight it. you want an immune response, things dampen down a bit and then there is a second immune response. all of these things go through trials to see the most effective way of doing it. the initial decision was to extend that gap and protect as many people as possible. now many people are doing

so fantastic with the vaccine programme. that has been brought down to eight weeks before everybody else it is 12 weeks. incredibly important to get that second dose. over the weekend andrew maas says he thinks he court coronavirus despite having two jabs. —— andrew marr. there fantastic that andrew is feeling better and back to his day job. that is testament to the vaccine programme. we know the vaccines are very effective. what we are talking about there is severe covid, hospitalisation and deaths. it does not eliminate the risk of catching covid. so important to get the vaccine. that shows how well the vaccines have worked. had the vaccine. that shows how well the vaccines have worked.— vaccines have worked. had a fantastic _ vaccines have worked. had a fantastic monday _ vaccines have worked. had a fantastic monday and - vaccines have worked. had a fantastic monday and enjoy i vaccines have worked. had a i fantastic monday and enjoy the vaccines have worked. had a - fantastic monday and enjoy the rest of your week. —— have a fantastic

monday. sally is at wimbledon for us this morning, as the championships get underway. good morning. this is day one of wimbledon. it did not happen at all. brilliant to be here this time around. in terms of what is happening today, we had novak djokovic nonsensical and andy murray is playing as well. the big news is aboutjo konta, she will not be here. she is a close contact of someone who tested positive for covid. it's a real shame as she was looking in good form — having won the title in nottingham a week ago. she has tested negative herself.

jo konta not able to be here because a close contact in her circle has tested positive for covid—19. it will be very different this year because of the covid restrictions. capacity is around 50% at the moment. they are hoping to go up to 100% by the end of the night. they are absolutely as ready as they can be. graham satchell�*s been finding out more. 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 people would normally queue, 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, orderly politeness of it all defined notjust wimbledon, but what it means to be british. this year, tickets have been sold online, leaving some frustrated, some delighted. i'm absolutely over the moon. i didn't for a minute imagine i would be able to get tickets. amy works for the nhs, wimbledon, a moment ofjoy in a hard year. to be able to be part of one of these test events as well, i think is really, really important. so particularly working for the nhs, that's a double whammy, really. there are some other big changes. to get in, you'll have to show you've been double jabbed or have had a negative lateral flow test, and it will feel different. capacity, for example, to start with, will be just 50% of normal. trying to give you an idea of a normal kind of wimbledon in the first week is absolutely heaving.

to actually go and see a match on the grand court at 100% capacity is very, very difficult. pav is tennis match. here he is withjo konta, jay clarke, katie swann, naomi broady. pav has got tickets for play today. it might actually be nice to actually sit down and watch tennis without having a scramble to each court and trying to get the best vantage point you can to see a match. centre court. because wimbledon is a so—called test event, by finals weekend, centre court will have 15,000 fans inside — each seat taken, no social distancing, no masks. to have centre court full for those two finals will be just the most fantastic experience for those that will be with us, but also for the players competing. you have to remember that for the players, for a long time now, they've been competing in front of very few or no fans. so they are hugely excited about the prospect of fans. and on court, does this year feel

like the end of an era? nadal isn't here. serena williams is 39, federer 40 in august. andy murray has said he'll approach this year's tournament as if it's his last. there are a crop of players at the top of the sport that will be retiring over the next few years. it'll be great to see who we're talking about come two weeks from now. i think there's a potential it's a completely new name. and that i think is really exciting. in wimbledon village, the shop fronts are decorated again. it's a tradition. a sign perhaps that we are bouncing back. and if you want more certainty that things are returning to normal, the forecast is for rain most of this week. graham satchell,

bbc news, wimbledon. graham was not wrong. in the last few minutes, it has got even heavier, the rain. about ten miles north of us at wembley. you cannot see that far in the distance at the moment because it is so misty. they'll be getting the stadium ready for england versus germany tomorrow. england will have to decide if mason mount and ben chilwell are ready to play — although they are training away from the squad after they had to self isolate. as for the match, midfielder kalvin phillips isn't phased by their recent poor record against the germans. this isjust another game for me, it's another important game for, obviously, the country as well. so, you know, regardless of, you know, whether we did well against germany years ago, whetherwe didn't, it doesn't really matter now. it's about tuesday and how we can go forward in this tournament. defending champions portugal are out. cristiano ronaldo's team were beaten

1—0 by the top—ranked side in the world — belgium. that's set up a clash with italy in the last eight. a surprise in the other game as the netherlands were beaten 2—0 by the czech republic. they'll play they team who ended welsh hopes — denmark. czech player petr korda reached the quarter finals here back in 1998 — losing to tim henman. well, his daughter is now a major champion. in golf, nelly korda won the women's pga championship in atlanta and has become the world number one in the process too. her brother seb is in the first round here later on today. a very sporty family. we will have tim henman on the programme around eight 30 am. | tim henman on the programme around eight 30 am. i have mentioned the rain. fine rain really sexy through,

doesn't it? this is certainly fine rain. it turned heavier. the temperature at wimbledon is 16 degrees. yesterday, in canada, they had their highest temperature on record, 46.6 celsius, just short of 116 fahrenheit. i think i would rather be on 16 and that kind of temperature. towards centre court there is a lot of low cloud, also some rain. the forecast for wimbledon looks like it'll be wet on and off. we have this this morning. through the course of the day showers on and off. some could be heavy and boundary. top temperature 20 degrees. a bit of a

north— south divide. sunny spells in the north and in the south some rain. low pressure is dominating in the south stop a lot of fine, dry and sunny conditions. across lincolnshire and yorkshire there will be cloud which could bring the odd shower stock that will be the exception rather than the rule. another band coming in across the south coast. this morning it will ease but it will only be replaced by showers, some of which will be heavy. temperatures today high teens mellow 20s. this evening and overnight there will be a lot of cloud. for cumbria, northern ireland and scotland, we are looking at clear skies and missed, not a particularly cold night. tomorrow,

similar to today. if you drew a line from wales across to the wash we are looking at cloud with showers on and off was that the thundery in the south east later we will see more low cloud coming in. temperatures could hit 24 in glasgow tomorrow. into wednesday, full wednesday, we start off on a cloudy notable it will brighten up in the west. if you showers and temperatures in hi teens into the low 20s. weather is not spectacular is that it looks like high pressure may build in later on. by high pressure may build in later on. by the weekend we will have had antic fronts coming in. that means again it will be unsettled. —— atlantic fronts coming in. good luck. see you later. the grass looks

nice! changes to rail season tickets come into effect today in england. they're designed to give passengers more flexible options. nina's got the details from leeds station this morning. the weather is a little better there. good morning. i the weather is a little better there. good morning.- the weather is a little better there. good morning. i had 'ust heard sauyfi there. good morning. i had 'ust heard sally talking i there. good morning. i had 'ust heard sally talking about i there. good morning. i hadjust heard sally talking about the i there. good morning. i hadjust. heard sally talking about the fine rain that gets you really wet. good news this morning for people moving towards flexible ticketing. or is it? needs is a city awakening this morning. maybe some people will wonder, when i work from the office or work from home? the trend was already happening pre—pandemic that has been accelerated by the lockdown is. let's see how the new flexible season tickets work. instead of

being limitless use, you would get a ticket to use in the space of 28 days. great if your employer is offering you the option of hybrid working. you can calculate the savings online. the tickets are paperless, supposed to be easier. it means he will need a smartphone or a travel card. this will not come as a huge surprise but lastly we had the lowest rail passenger numbers since 1872. the aim is to bring people back onto the trains because members are still very low. you could save up are still very low. you could save up to £350 every year. what we're hearing from commuters at the bbc is it is not necessarily working out for them. it is not necessarily working out forthem. eight it is not necessarily working out for them. eight is not that many. what if you want to take a spontaneous trip or your boss calls in unexpectedly? they are actually

more expensive perjourney and has put people off like bridget, who respected. she was excited about the scheme but not when she looked into the detail. when i heard about these flexi tickets, i thought it was a really good idea and i was quite interested in finding out what it was all about because i thought they would take a monthly ticket, divide it by 30, for example, and times it by eight, because they were talking about eight tickets. that isn't apparently what they've done. for me, itjust isn't going to make any difference. it might have been an idea to consult people who actually commute and ask us what we wanted and what would have helped us the most. tonyis tony is here from modern railway magazine. it seems so niche. who is the flexible ticket working for? it the flexible ticket working for? it is targeted at people who are going to work_ is targeted at people who are going to work two days a week. i think it

hello and welcome to countdown. as you probably guessed, i'm new, but it does mean now three girls do countdown. today's the day when anne robinson takes overfrom nick hewer to become the sixth host of channel 4's countdown. a visit to the studio proved that she's already making herself at home. anne robinson in the countdown chair. how is it? i've had to adapt it because i'm much smaller than nick. so there's a sort of platform coming out here that you won't have noticed. then i'm right handed, he was left handed, so i don't have the buzzer any more. this is all very interesting. technical. no, no, this isn't so technical. there's a hook for my handbag.

i only got that yesterday — i've been asking for weeks. the stat that keeps being trotted out, you are the first woman to present the show in 39 years of it. when that's said, how does it make you feel? it made me feel cross because we should be past being surprised that it's a woman doing a job, shouldn't we? it's going to get mentioned, isn't it? yeah, but, you know, it shouldn't really, because if you've got the brains, what does it matter whether you're male or female? i know you're probably more likely to have the brains if yourfemale. are things changing in tv on that front? well, i'm still here, colin, and i'm 76 and three quarters, so something's going in the right direction. over in dictionary corner, susie dent has now worked with all six countdown hosts. if you were to pick one, perhaps unusual word to describe anne, what word would you go for? 0k. you've put me on the spot here. i would say that and is both discombobulating and then recombobulating. so she kind of takes the rug from

under you and you think, "help." and then she willjust very gently put you back on it. while on the other side of the studio, it's 12 years since rachel riley replaced carol vorderman. we've taken over your board. you have. can you have any fun with that word? nine letters. well, i wasjust looking at it. you can get "fabtakers" or "farbasket." but nothing rude. i'm here for the rude words. how different is the show with anne in the chair? it's very different. it's almost like we've got a different set of contestants because she gives them a grilling — not kind of weakest link style. she's toned it down for countdown, but she still givea them a grilling. and for some people, it turns them into a stand—up comic. and, you know, they're ready to give their repertoire. for some people, they kind of treat her like a dinosaur and they don't stare directly at her. and if they don't move, maybe she won't see them and she'll go away. but it's been really funny. are you nervous? yes. that's two of us. and anne agrees that countdown viewers will be exposed to a different side of her. well, i don't think you could see my form of the weakest link on now. that's certainly a change. i don't think i could say half

the things i used to say. why's that? well, i think political correctness and wokeness has arrived in the last... what shall i say? ..three years. and the tweeting and the outrage would make it impossible. i think that programme makers are now very nervous. that would make it difficult to do a programme where, you know, the whole point of it was insulting people for 45 minutes. how different is your persona? are you being cuddlier? no, i'm just as horrible in real life, colin. but when you're doing countdown... i've had enough of you now. when you're doing countdown... no, i've had enough of you. that's it. i was the weakest link. goodbye. colin paterson, bbc news, the countdown studio.

that was him, dismissed. that was genuinely the end of the interview. i have had enough of you. i would quite enjoy it if all our interviewees did that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. arsenal's emirates stadium will continue to be used as a pop—up clinic for mass covid vaccinations in north london, in order to boost numbers. anyone over the age of 18 who has not yet received their first dose of vaccine, is encouraged to do so either by booking an appointment or turning up at the stadium. latest government figures show over five million londoners have received their first dose and three and a half million have been double vaccinated. and a half million have the wimbledon tennis championships are back and get under way later today at the all england club, having been cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

many businesses in the area suffered due to the lack of footfall, but one owner is delighted to be welcoming visitors back to sw19 — despite the tournament operating at 50% capacity across the grounds. compared to last year, that was tumbleweed blowing down the high street. and it was upsetting and we felt sad and upset that, you know, something that we have perhaps taken for granted wasn't here. yes, its reduced capacity this year. yes, a lot of the players aren't allowed to stay local. but any tennis is better than no tennis at all. a teenage boy has been arrested following a fatal stabbing of a 26—year—old man, who was killed at an illegal rave near millwall�*s football ground on saturday evening. police found the victim in an industrial unit at stockholm road and he was pronounced dead at the scene. the met police has urged anyone who was at the music event to get in touch. new flexible rail season tickets for travel in and out of london can be used from today. rail passengers can buy eight tickets for travel between two named

train stations to use any time over 28 days. the department for transport says the flexible ticket could potentially save two and three day—a—week commuters hundreds of pounds every year. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, apart from delays on the dlr. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a mostly dry start to the day. plenty of cloud. mild out there. the heavy rain from last night has cleared but there could still be a few showers lingering on and we will see that cloud thin and break as we head through the morning to give us some spells of brightness and sunshine. where we get the extra heat in the sunshine, there could also be thunderstorms developing in the second half of the day. watch out for some heavy downpours, maybe a rumble or two of thunder. top temperatures peaking between 21, maybe as high as 23 celsius with a light north—easterly wind.

as we head through this evening, we'll still see showers rumble on for a time but they should gradually fade away to leave us with a mostly dry night to come. plenty of cloud, temperatures still in double figures. a mild start to the day tomorrow. mostly dry on tuesday morning. there will be some more showers moving in from the south. longer spells of rain as we head through tuesday afternoon and into the evening. wednesday, it is looking mostly dry. quite an unsettled week ahead generally. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today... work begins for the new health secretary after a dramatic weekend — sajid javid will update us later on when all remaining restrictions will be lifted in england. the department of health says it will investigate how footage of matt hancock in an embrace with his aide was leaked. there'll be a special service of commemeration at st paul's cathedral to thank nhs staff on the front line. welcome staff on the front line. to day one of a wimbledon like welcome to day one of a wimbledon like you have never seen before. big joanna counter will not be playing. they close contact for covid—19. she has to isolate it is a cloudy and

damp start to the day at wimbledon. we will see some rain this morning followed by showers later and that are similar to much of the uk. in the south, cloudy and wet in the north, dry and sunny we will be back later with good morning. it's monday, 28thjune. our top story. after a dramatic weekend in westminster, the new health secretary sajid javid begins his first week in the job. he'll update mps later on plans for lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england. the former chancellor says his priority is to see a return to normal as soon as possible. despite his appointment, labour says the issue surrounding matt hancock's resignation is far from over. james reynolds has more. he was once in charge of the nation's money, now sajid javid is in charge of its health. the dispute over the power of downing street, which led him to resign as chancellorjust a month before the start of the pandemic, appears to have been set aside.

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. mrjavid replaces matt hancock. he resigned on saturday, a day after images were published of him in an embrace at work with a colleague, breaking covid restrictions that he had a leading role in imposing. for the government its case closed. not so for the opposition. if anybody thinks that the resignation of bangkok is the end of the issue, i think they're wrong. and i think the incoming health secretary and the prime minister now have serious questions to answer about the cctv, about the access, the policies, the contracts, etc. but the new health secretary may be more interested in this the country's vaccination programme. over the weekend, hundreds of walk—in centres opened across england. on saturday alone, more than 400,000

received a jab across the uk. the nhs says that half of all 18 to 30—year—olds in england have now been given their first dose. the government wants the rest to get theirs byjuly19th. that's when restrictions are due to be lifted. sajid javid says his immediate priority is a return to normal in his previous stint in cabinet. he ould sit right next to boris johnson as health secretary, though. will he have the ear of the prime minister? james reynolds, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, there's an update today on when covid restrictions will ease in england later. what can we expect? this was pencilled in by the prime minister two weeks ago when he announced a final stage of the lifting of lockdown in england was going a month. the lifting of lockdown in england was going a month-—

lifting of lockdown in england was auoin a month. ~ :, going a month. the pm said we would keep looking — going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at _ going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the _ going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the data _ going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the data and - going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the data and in - going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the data and in a - keep looking at the data and in a update the public on how that is this is the schedule and folding. if you look at the date of the number of cases has but ministers and officials did expect that to happen because more, more things open, fewer restrictions and around yourself a of people going has only gone up by a tiny amount but i think the government will still think there needs to be for a few more million people to get their second dose and so it looks of delaying the field lifting of restrictions to the 19th ofjuly but it would be in public seeing how he has packs and how he is going to do thejob public seeing how he has packs and how he is going to do the job and

unanswered questions after everything the one metre rule in capacity limits for theatres and cinemas and labour say matt hancock's resignation over breaking covid guidelines by kissing his aide, isn't the end of the matter? there are a few lease incidents need to be tied a private e—mail address to be tied a private e—mail address to do they want to know was

appointed was leaked in even there are still a few questions we will be speaking to angela rayner in around we can discuss all that with thejustice secretary robert buckland just after 7.30am here on breakfast. a service of thanksgiving will be held at st paul's cathedral, to recognise the work of nhs staff who have been on the frontline throughout the pandemic. it will take place on 5thjuly ? the same date as the nhs in england was founded 73 years ago. simonjones reports. applause and cheering. emotional tributes to nhs workers, who've risen to the challenge of the coronavirus crisis. this was for clap for carers, people coming out on their doorsteps near the start of the pandemic to thank doctors, nurses and health staff who've made such a difference.

now, st paul's cathedral is set to host a socially distance service on the 73rd anniversary of the foundation of the nhs. among those invited are mae parsons, who administered the first covid vaccine in the world outside of a trial to margaret keenan. and catherine dawson, who credits doctors with saving the life of her and her baby. catherine was 32 weeks pregnant when she contracted covid, and had to spend eight days on a ventilator. also present will be some of the doctors who helped treat the first coronavirus patients in the uk. i will be there with colleagues, and we will be remembering what's been going on. and so all of that will be quite an emotional experience. we've all been at times very emotional, whether it's tiredness, whether it was fatigue, whether it was just personal issues.

all of this has affected us over the last 18 months. the nhs in england has provided hospital treatment for around 400,000 seriously ill covid patients. there have been challenges with equipment, with the toll the pandemic has taken on staff. there will be more issues ahead, but the simple service will provide a moment to take stock and to hope for better times. simon jones, bbc news. family members of those killed or missing when an apartment building collapsed in florida, have been permitted to visit the site. nine people have been confirmed dead and more than 150 are still missing following thursday's disaster in surfside, north of miami. rescuers are working to find survivors but the local mayor has admitted they will "need luck now" if they are to find anyone alive. carol is at wimbledon for us this

morning with the weather. it is almost traditional as you can see the iconic wimbledon as part of the government? the event to begin with 50% capacity rising to it is down murky and lots of low cloud and the forecast for wimbledon we are looking at these kind of conditions. it might a little bit but through the afternoon we will they could be heavy and thundery and some brightness a bit of a north—south divide in the uk to date. in the

north it is dry at a fair bit of sunshine and it will feel warm with cloud and a lot of heavy rain across heading into the midlands and the new band coming in across southern counties. that will ease and then we are looking to the course of the other end with temperatures in the high teens to the for england and wales a fair. some chariot race of wind, cumbria and scotland will be some clear skies and a, not tomorrow very. "i will do everything i can

to make sure i deliver for the people of this great country" — that's the message from the new health secretary sajid javid as he begins his first week in thejob. the former chancellor said it was his priority to bring about a return to normal as soon as possible following the pandemic. we're joined now by saffron cordery, the deputy chief executive of nhs providers and also by pat cullen, acting general secretary and chief executive of the royal college of nursing. good morning to both of you and thank you for being with us. pat, it's such an importantjob so what do you think will be top of the agenda for sajid javid? i do you think will be top of the agenda for sajid javid?- agenda for said javid? i don't think there _ agenda for said javid? i don't think there is— agenda for sajid javid? i don't think there is any _ agenda for sajid javid? i don't think there is any more - agenda for sajid javid? i don't - think there is any more important job in government than looking after the health service and the people. the most important priorities for nursing at the point is to put a national recovery plan in place for nursing that addresses the nursing

workforce issues, the tens of thousands of vacancies we have across england which cannot continue. we saw that through the pandemic, where nurses felt that they were very much approaching the pandemic with one hand tied behind their back but didn't they do a fantasticjob looking after people? but those vacancies need to be addressed. we also understand that the pay review body that recommends the pay review body that recommends the pay review body that recommends the pay award for health care staff including nurses might very well be including nurses might very well be in his in tray. and what we are saying to him, please don't insult nurses by awarding them a 1% pay award, that will do nothing to try to hold on to those fantastic nurses that we have in the system. not one of them can we afford to lose but it also will not attract nurses into the system so that is a major challenge for the health secretary as he sits at his desk this morning.

point that one of the senior consultants made at the hospital where we were that in terms of waiting lists and catching up, he did not think the health service would get back to near normal in five or even ten years so do you share those concerns about waiting lists and where we are at the minute and concerns about where we will be in five or ten years? i and concerns about where we will be in five or ten years?— in five or ten years? i do, we share all those concerns _ in five or ten years? i do, we share all those concerns because - in five or ten years? i do, we share all those concerns because all - in five or ten years? i do, we share all those concerns because all the l all those concerns because all the pressures and crises we have found ourselves in at the moment with our waiting list and the backlog of people waiting for appointments, the christ we have in social care, the crisis within mental health services —— at the crisis we have. all of those areas will not be addressed if we don't address the workforce crisis. whether it is in the community or social care or mental health, you always have to come into contact with a nurse and if you don't have nurses, you don't have health care, simple as that so that vacancies are central to all of the

issues that the health secretary needs to address. e needs to address it quickly because those waiting lists are totally out of control put of the people sitting on those lists are desperately in need of care and nurses are in desperately wishing to address those lists are. they want to be able to provide safe, good, effective care for patients and it must be very difficult for each nurse entering their place of work this morning and this evening to know that they don't have the resources they are required to provide the best care possible. they are still doing that and what an accolade that is to the nursing profession and other health care staff. they need the resources to do that and the vacancies are important to address at the moment.— that and the vacancies are important to address at the moment. thank you both very much _ to address at the moment. thank you both very much indeed _ to address at the moment. thank you both very much indeed for _ to address at the moment. thank you both very much indeed for talking - to address at the moment. thank you both very much indeed for talking to l both very much indeed for talking to us. talking obviously about the resignation of matt hancock and what

a sajid javid will bring to the role. well, labour say that matt hancock's resignation from the role is not the end of the matter. we're joined now by the party's deputy leader, angela rayner. good morning and thank you for joining us. matt hancock has resigned, there is a new health secretary so why are you saying it's not the end of the matter? because we need to — not the end of the matter? because we need to know _ not the end of the matter? because we need to know whether— not the end of the matter? because we need to know whether cabinet . we need to know whether cabinet ministers using private e—mail to discuss sensitive and secret documents for business could breach the freedom of information act, the official secrecy act and legislation on data protection and the maintenance of public records. this is really serious. ministers using their private e—mails on government business, why would they do that if they're not hiding anything? they know the rules about this and they have breached them. i’m know the rules about this and they have breached them.— have breached them. i'm sure you know the statement _ have breached them. i'm sure you know the statement from the - know the statement from the department of health and social, saying "all the hse when understand the understandable to rant personal e—mail usage and only conduct government business through their departmental e—mail addresses." that

has been the response so far. i has been the response so far. i don't accept that which is why i have written to ensure there is a full investigation into it, we know the home secretary broke the ministerial code, that the cabinet secretary did and has been found unlawful recently regarding contracts. i think this is releasing this because if the government, and at the heart of government, does not regard the official secrecy and security of billions of pounds of taxpayer money, we have a real problem in the country that's is why investigating. iloathe problem in the country that's is why investigating-— problem in the country that's is why investigating. who are you asking to investiuate investigating. who are you asking to investigate this? _ investigating. who are you asking to investigate this? how— investigating. who are you asking to investigate this? how would - investigating. who are you asking to investigate this? how would you - investigating. who are you asking toj investigate this? how would you see this going? i investigate this? how would you see this auoin ? :, :, investigate this? how would you see this aoian ? :, :, :, investigate this? how would you see this aoain ? :, :, :, this going? i have wrote to the independent — this going? i have wrote to the independent adviser _ this going? i have wrote to the independent adviser and - this going? i have wrote to the independent adviser and also l this going? i have wrote to the - independent adviser and also wrote to the cabinet office and the information commissioner to ensure there is a full investigation into what has happened. we need transparency now to know what has been going on because we know that borisjohnson as prime minister has no regard for law, no regard for the

ministerial code, and it seems to be rotting from the head down, the rest of the cabinet feeling they don't have to follow the rules either. some people might say, what is important but the rules, it was a pandemic? but it's really serious because our grandchildren will be paying off the debt that we have improved and if we are being wasting billions through tory donors and friends is a really serious issue —— we have accrued. they govern by consent, they should be doing it on the half of the people are not friends and cronies.— the half of the people are not friends and cronies. what you say in res-onse friends and cronies. what you say in response to — friends and cronies. what you say in response to people _ friends and cronies. what you say in response to people who _ friends and cronies. what you say in response to people who say - friends and cronies. what you say in response to people who say that. friends and cronies. what you say in| response to people who say that the vaccine programme has been a huge success and in some ways, matt hancock and what he did at the department of health was responsible for that? ~ :, department of health was responsible for that? n, ., . ,, .,, for that? matt hancock was responsible _ for that? matt hancock was responsible for _ for that? matt hancock was responsible for thousands | for that? matt hancock was | responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths by ceding a virus in our care homes and a lot of other issues so i take no lectures on that but i do commend the work of our nhs and the oxford astrazeneca vaccine we have in this country which shows that the people of this country and

our nhs have been doing a superb job, paid tribute to them and hope everybody does get that vaccine as you have been saying which is really important. but also the government had to do their bit and follow their own laws and guidance which clearly they have not been doing notjust about see the affairs of the heart of government, it's about billions of government, it's about billions of pounds of our money being wasted and secretly put employment e—mails to avoid the scrutiny of the civil service and could have put our country at risk.— country at risk. you use your arivate country at risk. you use your private e-mail_ country at risk. you use your private e-mail for _ country at risk. you use your private e-mail for labour- country at risk. you use your. private e-mail for labour party private e—mail for labour party business? private e-mail for labour party business?— private e-mail for labour party business? :, , , ., , business? no, i use my labour party e-mailfor business? no, i use my labour party e-mail for labour— business? no, i use my labour party e-mail for labour party _ business? no, i use my labour party e-mail for labour party business - business? no, i use my labour partyj e-mail for labour party business and e—mail for labour party business and my gmailfor other e—mail for labour party business and my gmail for other private affairs. what i would say is i'm not the minister i don't have access to taxpayer money and how it is used and therefore they know fully well that there are rules and laws that govern the way in which they conduct themselves because it protects our country from foreign interest that might want to hack into that information and do our country harm,

and about the billions of pounds thatis and about the billions of pounds that is taxpayer money, not their money, not their personal cash account, it's about how we spend money that people have earned through working every single day and they deserve answers as to how that is being used. flan they deserve answers as to how that is being used-— is being used. can i ask you as well, is being used. can i ask you as well. there _ is being used. can i ask you as well, there were _ is being used. can i ask you as well, there were still - is being used. can i ask you as well, there were still some - well, there were still some questions that have not been answered about how this footage came to be there and there was a camera, for example, in that office. are you concerned by that? i for example, in that office. are you concerned by that?— for example, in that office. are you concerned by that? i am concerned by that it is a serious _ concerned by that? i am concerned by that it is a serious issue, _ that it is a serious issue, especially if the government did not know it was their. again, the footage could be used by foreign bodies, it could be hacked into so absolutely there should be an investigation into that but it does not negate the fact that the government have been using private e—mail addresses to conduct government business and that is really serious. yes, we should be investigating that but also investigating that but also investigating why government ministers are breaking the rules that could put national security at risk. i

that could put national security at risk. :, :, that could put national security at risk. . . risk. i have read the department from the department _ risk. i have read the department from the department of- risk. i have read the department from the department of health i risk. i have read the department i from the department of health and social care but can i also ask you, mps will be updated later about whether or not restrictions will be eased. do you think they should be? at the moment infection rates are rising and we have a statement from the health secretary later, we have always said the government should follow the science and unfortunately, the prime minister chose not to do anything about the delta buried when he knew it was a risk to the country and we have ended up in a situation where unfortunately work were not able to unlock further —— delta variant point we want to see a locking bit as safe and quickly as possible but the government has to start following the science advice and start putting the country first. angela rayner, thank you for your time. we will be speaking to the justice secretary, robert buckland, in about five or six minutes. now for something completely different. now, it would have been the glastonbury festival this

weekend but sadly britain's most famous music event was cancelled for the second year running due to covid—19. fans were instead encouraged to post images of themselves enjoying festival memories from home, including super fans felicity bevan and freddy cooney. the couple met in 2014 at a glastonbury themed event and next year, will tie the knot in a glastonbury—themed wedding. theyjoins us now from their garden in somerset. where they have built their very own pyramid stage! i am fascinated by the construction of this, what is it made out of?— the construction of this, what is it made out of? , . made out of? mainly fence panelling and bits of two _ made out of? mainly fence panelling and bits of two by _ made out of? mainly fence panelling and bits of two by four _ made out of? mainly fence panelling and bits of two by four helped - made out of? mainly fence panelling and bits of two by four helped by - made out of? mainly fence panelling and bits of two by four helped by myj and bits of two by four helped by my soon—to—be brother—in—law, constructed fairly easily. a lot of screws and shouting! but it is up and it is our most of the festival

many businesses in the area suffered due to the lack of footfall, but one owner is delighted to be welcoming visitors back to sw19 — despite the tournament operating at 50% capacity across the grounds. compared to last year, that was tumbleweed blowing down the high street. and it was upsetting and we felt sad and upset that, you know, something that we have perhaps taken for granted wasn't here. yes, its reduced capacity this year. yes, a lot of the players aren't allowed to stay local. but any tennis is better than no tennis at all. a teenage boy has been arrested following a fatal stabbing of a 26—year—old man who was killed at an illegal ravenear millwall�*s football ground on saturday evening. police found the victim in an industrial unit at stockholm road and he was pronounced dead at the scene. the met police has urged anyone who was at the music event to get in touch. new flexible rail season tickets for travel in and out of london can be used from today. rail passengers can buy eight

tickets for travel between two named train stations to use any time over twenty eight days. the department for transport says the flexible ticket could potentially save two and three day—a—week commuters hundreds of pounds every year. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from the dlr, which has severe delays. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a mostly dry start to the day. plenty of cloud. mild out there. the heavy rain from last night has cleared but there could still be a few showers lingering on and we will see that cloud thin and break as we head through the morning to give us some spells of brightness and sunshine. where we get the extra heat in the sunshine, there could also be thunderstorms developing in the second half of the day. watch out for some heavy downpours, maybe a rumble or two of thunder. top temperatures peaking between 21, maybe as high as 23 celsius with a light north—easterly wind.

as we head through this evening, we'll still see showers rumble on for a time but they should gradually fade away to leave us with a mostly dry night to come. plenty of cloud, temperatures still in double figures. a mild start to the day tomorrow. mostly dry on tuesday morning. there will be some more showers moving in from the south. longer spells of rain as we head through tuesday afternoon and into the evening. wednesday, it is looking mostly dry. quite an unsettled week ahead generally i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. let's return to our top story. the new health secretary sajid javid is facing a very busy first week in thejob, after taking over from matt hancock, who resigned at the weekend. mr hancock stepped down

after he was filmed in an embrace with his aide, which broke the government's covid social distancing rules. we're joined now by the justice secretary, robert buckland. hejoins us live on he joins us live on the hejoins us live on the programme this morning. thank you for being with us today. can we start with the resignation of mr hancock? these decisions are very important. there was quite a bit going round his head at the time. why did it take two days for him to stand down? bare at the time. why did it take two days for him to stand down? are you have answered _ days for him to stand down? are you have answered the _ days for him to stand down? are you have answered the question. - days for him to stand down? are you have answered the question. a - days for him to stand down? are you have answered the question. a lot i days for him to stand down? are you have answered the question. a lot of things were swirling around with a private life aspect has been deeply upsetting for those involved. also wider considerations about whether or not he should see through this crisis, bearing in mind he has been health secretary for the best part of three years. as the hours went

well in sajid javid. that is a welcome exchange. i do think there's issues did need to be worked through. making a decision of such gravity cannot be made on the toss of a coin. all of us would agree about that and say the right decision was reached, after some deliberation, which i did not think was inappropriate in the circumstances. we was inappropriate in the circumstances.- was inappropriate in the circumstances. . . circumstances. we have interviewed matt hancock— circumstances. we have interviewed matt hancock on _ circumstances. we have interviewed matt hancock on numerous - circumstances. we have interviewedl matt hancock on numerous occasions over the course of the pandemic and he has sat in and office similar to the one you are in at the moment and he has told us about the rules we are expected to follow and laid those out and talked about others who have broken the rules and regulations and why they should not be in the job any longer. surely it is clear—cut that the health secretary breaks his own regulations and yet the top men in government decided he should stay in the job

right it not be available? if someone is on the road and they might not have the right it, i could imagine circumstances to justify the use of another e—mail. i think the important point is the principle is that government e—mails should be used. if that does happen, that particular piece of data needs to be retained and in a retrievable form so those who want to see it in future plan do that. i use government e—mails, my civil sense can see what is happening and it is easierfor can see what is happening and it is easier for everybody to use one system. easier for everybody to use one s stem. , easier for everybody to use one sstem. , , , :, system. lusthl practical question and clearing _ system. lusthl practical question and clearing up — system. lusthl practical question and clearing up for _ system. lusthl practical question and clearing up for the _ system. lusthl practical question and clearing up for the dealers i system. lusthl practical question and clearing up for the dealers as| and clearing up for the dealers as well... ——just and clearing up for the dealers as well... —— just for the practical question. why would you not have the right it? i question. why would you not have the ria ht it? :, , ., ., .,

anything that is very sensitive, i can assure you is, is not viewed on a for that very sensitive documents are regarded in the old—fashioned way, that is the right thing to do. we are acutely conscious of the need to retain that information in a careful way. to retain that information in a careful way-— to retain that information in a carefulwa . . , :, , careful way. have you ever used arivate careful way. have you ever used private e-mail_ careful way. have you ever used private e-mail to _ careful way. have you ever used private e-mail to your— careful way. have you ever used i private e-mail to your government private e—mail to your government business? private e-mail to your government business? :, private e—mail to your government business? tia. do you know any other business? iiriffi do you know any other minister that business? this. do you know any other minister that has? business? no. do you know any other minister that has? i _ business? no. do you know any other minister that has? i do _ business? no. do you know any other minister that has? i do not _ business? no. do you know any other minister that has? i do not stop i business? no. do you know any other minister that has? i do not stop if- minister that has? i do not stop if there are examples, _ minister that has? i do not stop if there are examples, i _ minister that has? i do not stop if there are examples, i would i minister that has? i do not stop ifj there are examples, i would hope there are examples, i would hope there was good reason and that material was retrievable and put onto the system if the whatever reason another e—mail where used. it reason another e—mail where used. if it is and that matt hancock has broken the ministerial code on this issue, what should happen? i cannot s-eculate issue, what should happen? i cannot speculate as — issue, what should happen? i cannot speculate as to _ issue, what should happen? i cannot speculate as to precisely _ issue, what should happen? i cannot speculate as to precisely the -

an old chum, getting a mistress to mark your homework and it is not acceptable. there are serious issues about the appointment of that person in particular and others employed by ministers to dojobs in in particular and others employed by ministers to do jobs in government. public appointments are quite rightly scrutinised carefully. they are a matter for the cabinet office. there is a well—known procedure involving many individuals. due process has to be followed. if there are any connections, they need to be declared. if a decision is made to appoint a person it is done in the fullest knowledge about a connection they may have to the minister. i would expect in this case that was followed. it certainly would not be the case for a minister to be able to pick up a phone and appoint somebody. that would be wholly inappropriate. i am sure in this case that was not safe. brute inappropriate. i am sure in this case that was not safe. we have s-oken case that was not safe. we have spoken about — case that was not safe. we have spoken about the _ case that was not safe. we have spoken about the security i case that was not safe. we have spoken about the security issue | spoken about the security issue around e—mails. about cctv footage,

positive test, having to deliver my baby, and straight off to icu and then going on a ventilator. it was horrific but without the staff at the nhs being there, because we could not have our family, they stepped up and were like mine and ruby's surrogate family while we were in hospital. it was a horrible time but made better by having people around me that really supported me and helped me through it and held my hand. i am supported me and helped me through it and held my hand.— it and held my hand. i am sure that is why you — it and held my hand. i am sure that is why you want _ it and held my hand. i am sure that is why you want to _ it and held my hand. i am sure that is why you want to speak _ it and held my hand. i am sure that is why you want to speak at - it and held my hand. i am sure that is why you want to speak at this - is why you want to speak at this special service on the 5th ofjuly. you couldn't see ruby, she had to be looked after because otherwise she would get coronavirus, which she then did get?— would get coronavirus, which she thendiduet? , , , , then did get? yes, because she was born eiuht then did get? yes, because she was born eight weeks _ then did get? yes, because she was born eight weeks early, _ then did get? yes, because she was born eight weeks early, she - then did get? yes, because she was born eight weeks early, she was - then did get? yes, because she was born eight weeks early, she was off| born eight weeks early, she was off to the neonatal unit anyway. as i had coronavirus, i didn't want to see her because i didn't want to

risk passing it onto her so she just went straight to the neonatal unit and i went straight to icu the icu team and the neonatal team arranged for an eye party —— ipad to be put in my room so i could have a live feed onto her cot, so it was very surreal that i had a baby but could not see her. just to make that connection. and a couple of days later i think it was a date later they said she had tested positive but they didn't know how she contracted it. whether she actually got it passed from me while she was still in my belly or she got it when she came out. it was a scary time but luckily she had no symptoms and it did not affect her at all. she went from strength to strength. by, went from strength to strength. a scary time for everyone including

your husband stuart and her dad? yes, he was at home with the other two girls and he couldn't come and visit us, he couldn't go and see ruby, especially when she got coronavirus, he couldn't go in so the neonatal team had to step up and look after her and they did a fantasticjob. they did a little diaries and sent us all pictures so the girls made the connection with her and they were all amazing to. without them i don't think we would have made that special bond and been able to go home as easily. because being so poorly and having a baby, as any new mum knows, it is difficult itself.— as any new mum knows, it is difficult itself. what is striking talkinu difficult itself. what is striking talkin: to difficult itself. what is striking talking to you. _ difficult itself. what is striking talking to you, one _ difficult itself. what is striking talking to you, one thing - difficult itself. what is striking talking to you, one thing is i difficult itself. what is striking | talking to you, one thing is the medical attention and incredible things they did for you but it is also that personal connection which sounds like they went out of their

on when all remaining restrictions will be lifted in england. the department of health says it will investigate how footage of matt hancock in an embrace with his aide was leaked. the button battery warning from the mum of two—year—old harper lee, who tragically died after swallowing one at home. we actually found the remote without the button battery in. i turned it around and itjust came out. it wasn't even secure. good morning. welcome to leeds. from today you can start using a flexible train ticket, aimed at those working at home and the office. here is making a saving? we will look at whether you should hop on board. good morning. the covers are starting to come off.

british number one johanna konta will not be taking part though. a close contact has tested positive for covid—i9 and she now has to self—isolate. you will notice the roof is on as well. outside it is cloudy and damp at wimbledon. likely to see showers through the course of the day. cloudy and wet today. in the north it is sunny, dry and warm. we will be back later in the programme. it's monday 28th june, our top story. after a dramatic weekend in westminster, the new health secretary, sajid javid, begins his first week in the job. he'll update mps later on plans for lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england. the former chancellor says his priority is to see a return to normal as soon as possible. despite his appointment, labour says the issue surrounding matt hancock's resignation is far from over. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming.

announced he was going to delay the road map for the releasing restrictions in england. a number of hospitalisations is still very low although the number of cases has gone up very rapidly. the government has pledged to get millions more people getting a second dose. that would suggest sajid javid will not bring anything forward and we're still looking at the 19th ofjuly for those restrictions. a service of thanksgiving will be held at st paul's cathedral to recognise the work of nhs staff who have been on the frontline throughout the pandemic. it will take place on 5thjuly ? the same date as the nhs in england was founded 73 years ago. simonjones reports. applause and cheering. emotional tributes to nhs workers, who've risen to the challenge of the coronavirus crisis.

this was clap for carers, people coming out on their doorsteps near the start of the pandemic to thank doctors, nurses and health staff who've made such a difference. now, st paul's cathedral is set to host a socially—distanced service on the 73rd anniversary of the foundation of the nhs. among those invited are mae parsons, who administered the first covid vaccine in the world outside of a trial to margaret keenan. and catherine dawson, who credits doctors with saving the life of her and her baby. catherine was 32 weeks pregnant when she contracted covid, and had to spend eight days on a ventilator. also present will be some of the doctors who helped treat the first coronavirus patients in the uk. i will be there with colleagues, and we will be remembering what's been going on. and so all of that will be quite an emotional experience. we've all been at times very emotional,

whether it's tiredness, whether it was fatigue, whether it was just personal issues. all of this has affected us over the last 18 months. the nhs in england has provided hospital treatment for around 400,000 seriously ill covid patients. there have been challenges with equipment, with the toll the pandemic has taken on staff. there will be more issues ahead, but the simple service will provide a moment to take stock and to hope for better times. —— st paul's service. simon jones, bbc news. around 150 people are still missing, four days after the collapse of a i2—storey apartment block in florida. officials say the death toll from the disaster has risen to nine. rescuers are using sniffer dogs and sonar to search for survivors, but hopes of finding anyone alive continue to fade. will grant reports from miami. these things aren't supposed to happen in america. the infrastructure of the richest

country in the world, in one of its richest cities, is meant to be solid and reliable. but when the 12 storeys of champlain towers collapsed, almost 160 residents disappeared beneath the rubble in seconds. only a handful have been found. 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 neighbour from 604? she was like a lovely lady, you know? and i hope to god that they're going to find somebody. but, man, you know, if you saw what i saw... nothingness. you know, you go over there and you see, like, you know, 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, second day, but at this point, we're all talking about it amongst us in the family, and we're not expecting much. but then again, we're not god, nor any form of higher power, and we're not the ones who make the decisions. so we're 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. more on that later in the programme. carol is at wimbledon for us this morning with the weather. she is inside now but had a big umbrella earlier. we arejust in time to see the ground staff taking the cover of centre court. it is pretty wet outside. nasty was the time wimbledon was cancelled for three quarters of a century due to coronavirus. there is no queue outside and it is part of the government's event research programme allowing the event to begin with a 50% capacity, rising to

100% for the finals weekend. it is murky outside. the forecast for wimbledon today is one of showers. it is possible there will be dry spells in between but the shamardal be on and off during the day. some could be heavy and potentially thundery with temperatures getting up thundery with temperatures getting up to 20 degrees. in the south we are looking at a fair bit of cloud and rain. in the north, drier, sunnier and warmer. the cloud and rain we currently have is a touch, only to be replaced by further showers. as we move north, back into the sunshine. temperatures today could get into the high teens or low 20s in the sunshine. this evening and overnight to still have cloud and overnight to still have cloud and chariot breaks of rain across england wales. but cumbria northern ireland and scotland, clear skies.

not a cold night whichever way you look at it. tomorrow draw a line from wales to the wash and all points south, cloudy with showers. on and off. some of those could be heavy and thundery. into northern england and scotland and northern ireland we are looking at sunshine. temperatures again getting up to potentially 24 degrees. that far north of scotland and northern ireland prone to little more clout at times. just behind me now, they are about to go and having a pause as a talk amongst each other working out what to do. in the next few seconds or so hopefully they will be off. this will be the first time we have seen tentacle and cupboard for the start of the wimbledon championships. —— centre court uncovered. it always looks so beautifully manicured at this stage. at the end of the fortnight quite

different. very well trampled on and very well used. no pressure on these guys. can you just hurry up? that is what we are waiting for. that is the moment. it is like velvet, isn't it? really nice stock it is so neat and perfectly done every time. all about teamwork as well. thank you. that was well filled. see you later. last month, two—year—old harper—lee fanthorpe died in hospital after swallowing a button battery from a remote control at home. now, just five weeks after her death, harper—lee's mum, stacy, and sisterjamie—leigh have chosen to speak to us about the dangers these batteries pose to children. a warning that you may find some of phil mackie's report upsetting.

harper—lee fanthorpe was a typical bright, curious, effervescent, happy two—year—old. she loved to dance, didn't she? she really loved to dance. the best thing she listened to is, she loved rave music, rave and dance music! anything else, she wouldn't dance to! she should always give a little fist pump. five weeks ago, her older sister was looking after her and she suddenly became ill. her head just went backwards. then she sat back up and blood came out. so i rang an ambulance straightaway. it must have been very frightening for you? yeah. she wasn't responding and they told me to put her on her side. so she could still breathe and she just went wheezy

and her eyesjust closed and she couldn't talk back to me. it was like she wasn't there. no—one knew that she had swallowed a tiny button battery, and the acid was burning through a major artery. she had to have two litres blood transfusion. she left surgery. she'd still got my phone, she was still talking. the last thing she ever said to me was, "mummy, i need you." i told her i loved her. that is the last time i saw her. halfway through surgery, a surgeon came out and asked if she had swallowed anything. not that i knew. that is when they told me they thought she had swallowed a button battery. we went to children's intensive care where we were waiting for more news. hejust said, "i am sorry." that is what i could remember. i canjust remember that in a loud

scream out, shouting, "no." she has left a very big hole. very. it's five weeks and it's been absolute torture. i feel so lost. everywhere i went, she'd follow. if i got in the bath, she used tojump in fully clothed and say, "my bath!" the house is just so quiet, isn't it? all from a button battery that we didn't know dangers of. and i don't think anybody really knows the dangers. no. and when you realised what had happened, what did you then think about those batteries, and particularly about the remote control in this instance? the way they are relatively easily accessible for little children? and we actually found the remote without the button battery in. and so i turned it around and itjust came out. it wasn't even secure. there was no lock.

there was no little thing you had to push to get it out. itjust slid out. harper—lee's granddad has built a memorial at the bottom of the garden. the family really hopes that by talking about it, other lives will be saved. it's about awareness. if i can save one child, or a hundred, then i've promised my baby i've done what i've done. they need to be more secure. parents need to check. just check, check, check. toys, they are in everything, children's books. for now, the campaign is keeping them going. just a few weeks after burying harper—lee, their emotions are still raw. phil mackie, bbc news, stoke—on—trent. desperately sad. thank you to harper—lee's family for choosing to share their story with us so they could raise awareness of the dangers of button batteries. we'rejoined now by dr bimal mehta,

emergency department paediatrician at alder hey children's hospital. thank you for spending some time with us today. a heartbreaking story for harper—lee's family to talk us through what happened to their daughter so how common are cases like this and what sort of things are you seeing in your emergency department? we are you seeing in your emergency department?— are you seeing in your emergency deartment? ~ ., �* ~ ., ., ., department? we don't know how common these are and _ department? we don't know how common these are and the — department? we don't know how common these are and the royal _ department? we don't know how common these are and the royal college _ department? we don't know how common these are and the royal college of - these are and the royal college of paediatrics is currently running some national surveillance to get a much clearer picture but we do know is that we continue to see an increasing number of children coming to all of our departments across the country with injuries they have sustained because of button batteries. we still see some very tragic fatal cases like the story we have just heard and children that have just heard and children that have serious life changing injuries from these batteries as well. band from these batteries as well. and how quickly _

changes to rail season tickets come into effect today in england. they're designed to give passengers more flexible options. nina's got the details from leeds station this morning. i have an good morning from leeds. you can see behind me and looking around the station, that human traffic in this city, one of the biggest in the north, is starting to pick up compared to a few months ago but we are still nowhere near pre—pandemic levels partly because of the work from home instruction but also because this was a trend we were already seeing, more people deciding to do some work from the office and some from within their own home and that is why these flexible tickets have been introduced to. i can talk you through how they work. you get eight tickets out of 28 days on the flexible ticket instead of unlimited access. that could work out well if you're mixing your working pattern.

you calculate your savings online, it is a paperless system, and you put it on your smartphone or travel card so you would need one of those. last year saw the lowest rail passenger numbers since 1872, perhaps unsurprisingly, but they hope this is a way of encouraging us back onto the trains because it's not happening anywhere near pre—pandemic levels yet. the prediction is it could save you up to £350 every year but what we're hearing from commuters is it's not necessarily working out for them. first of all because eight trips in daysis first of all because eight trips in days is not that many, if you wanted to go into town at the weekend or you were called in to an emergency meeting, you have to buy on the day to get and it could get expensive and they are also not necessarily priced at a number divisible by the number of days in a months if that makes sense so put date you might be paying more. we spoke to bridget in west sussex who was looking forward

not yet received their first dose of vaccine is encouraged to do so either by booking an appointment or turning up at the stadium. latest government figures show over five million londoners have received their first dose and three and a half million have been double vaccinated. the wimbledon tennis championships are back and get underway later today at the all england club, having been cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. many businesses in the area suffered due to the lack of footfall, but one owner is delighted to be welcoming visitors back to sw19 — despite the tournament operating at 50% capacity across the grounds. compared to last year, that was tumbleweed blowing down the high street. and it was upsetting and we felt sad and upset that, you know, something that we have perhaps taken for granted wasn't here. yes, it's reduced capacity this year. yes, a lot of the players aren't allowed to stay local. but any tennis is better than no tennis at all.

a teenage boy has been arrested following a fatal stabbing of a 26—year—old man who was killed at an illegal ravenear millwall�*s football ground on saturday evening. police found the victim in an industrial unit at stockholm road and he was pronounced dead at the scene. the met police has urged anyone who was at the music event to get in touch. new flexible rail season tickets for travel in and out of london can be used from today. rail passengers can buy eight tickets for travel between two named train stations to use any time over 28 days. the department for transport says the flexible ticket could potentially save two and three day—a—week commuters hundreds of pounds every year. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning but severe delays on the dlr between lewisham and mudschute. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a mostly dry start to the day. plenty of cloud. mild out there. the heavy rain from last night has

cleared but there could still be a few showers lingering on and we will see that cloud thin and break as we head through the morning to give us some spells of brightness and sunshine. where we get the extra heat in the sunshine, there could also be thunderstorms developing in the second half of the day. watch out for some heavy downpours, maybe a rumble or two of thunder. top temperatures peaking between 21, maybe as high as 23 celsius with a light north—easterly wind. as we head through this evening, we'll still see showers rumble on for a time but they should gradually fade away to leave us with a mostly dry night to come. plenty of cloud, temperatures still in double figures. a mild start to the day tomorrow. mostly dry on tuesday morning. there will be some more showers moving in from the south. longer spells of rain as we head through tuesday afternoon and into the evening. wednesday, it is looking mostly dry. quite an unsettled week ahead generally i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address.

bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. following us this morning a bit of morning live. gethin and jeanette in the studio today. thanks, both. coming up on morning live... with summer holidays now looking like they are back on, especially for double jabbed travellers, prices to green list countries have gone through the roof. if you're hoping to jet away, travel expert simon calder is here to tell us how you can still book a cheap deal. and wimbledon is back, too! after a year away from centre court, former player annabel croft talks about news that jo konta has had to pull out. and with loads of other events now given the go ahead,

the rush to buy tickets is on. rav wilding investigates the scammers trying to ruin it all by selling fake tickets, and explains how to get the upper hand on the conmen trying to catch you out. and serving up today's medical news, dr xand is here. i will be talking about whether or not the _ i will be talking about whether or not the new health secretary sajid javid will— not the new health secretary sajid javid will lift all coronavirus restrictions onjuly the javid will lift all coronavirus restrictions on july the 19th. will he? plus, helping us keep our eye on the ball today is leading optometrist daniel hardiman mccartney. he'll explain how to spot the often missed signs of glaucoma that could save your sight. and he's always a sight for sore eyes. vet dr james greenwood shows us behind—the—scenes at his practice _ shows us behind—the—scenes at his practice in— shows us behind—the—scenes at his practice in bristol, which is busier than ever, after more than three million households bought a pet in the pandemic.

normal, quite familiar. if you had been to wimbledon before and you are lucky enough to come this time, it will be reassuringly familiar. there are significant changes because of the restrictions that are in place. wimbledon is expecting 50% capacity and by finals weekend they hope to be up to 100%. here at sw19, some things will look the same 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 people would normally queue, 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, orderly politeness of it all defines notjust wimbledon, but what it means to be british. this year, tickets have been sold online, leaving some frustrated, some delighted. i'm absolutely over the moon. i didn't for a minute imagine i would be able to get tickets. amy works for the nhs, wimbledon, a moment ofjoy in a hard year. to be able to be part of one of these test events as well, i think is really, really important. so particularly working for the nhs, that's a double whammy, really. there are some other big changes. to get in, you'll have to show you've been double jabbed or have had a negative lateral flow test, and it will feel different. capacity, for example, to start with, will be just 50% of normal. trying to give you an idea of a normal kind of wimbledon in the first week is absolutely heaving. to actually go and see a match on the grand court

at 100% capacity is very, very difficult. pav is tennis match. —— tennis mad. here he is withjo konta, jay clarke, katie swann, naomi broady. pav has got tickets for play today. it might actually be nice to actually sit down and watch tennis without having a scramble to each court and trying to get the best vantage point you can to see a match. centre court. because wimbledon is a so—called test event, by finals weekend, centre court will have 15,000 fans inside — each seat taken, no social distancing, no masks. to have centre court full for those two finals will be just the most fantastic experience for those that will be with us, but also for the players competing. you have to remember that for the players, for a long time now, they've been competing in front of very few or no fans. so they are hugely excited

about the prospect of fans. and on court, does this year feel like the end of an era? nadal isn't here. serena williams is 39, federer 40 in august. andy murray has said he'll approach this year's tournament as if it's his last. there are a crop of players at the top of the sport that will be retiring over the next few years. it'll be great to see who we're talking about come two weeks from now. i think there's a potential it's a completely new name. and that i think is really exciting. in wimbledon village, the shop fronts are decorated again. it's a tradition. a sign perhaps that we are bouncing back. and if you want more certainty that things are returning to normal, the forecast is for rain most of this week. graham satchell, bbc news, wimbledon. doesn't it look glorious?! i'm

it is not without its challenges. it is all providing them with the opportunity, both men and women to come out and compete here. fingers crossed we are all moving in the right direction. that will not take away from the massive excitement of wimbledon getting under way today. shall i ask you for your school prediction for the england, germany match tomorrow night? z=ci prediction for the england, germany match tomorrow night? 2-0 england. thank ou. match tomorrow night? 2-0 england. thank you- i — match tomorrow night? 2-0 england. thank you. i love _ match tomorrow night? 2-0 england. thank you. i love that _ match tomorrow night? 2-0 england. thank you. i love that positive - thank you. i love that positive mindset. not far from thank you. i love that positive mindset. not farfrom here thank you. i love that positive mindset. not far from here there thank you. i love that positive mindset. not farfrom here there is a small matter of a match in the euros tomorrow. here is the very latest from gareth southgate. we are ready for it, we know it's a very difficult challenge. and it is a great opportunity for this team to make some history and give people memories of england—germany fixtures for the future that are different to some of the ones they have been flooded with over

the last few years, the last few days, which mean absolutely nothing to them because they were not born for most of them! defending champions portugal are out. cristiano ronaldo's team were beaten 1—0 by the top ranked side in the world, belgium. that's set up a mouthwatering clash with italy in the last eight. a surprise in the other game as the netherlands were beaten 2—0 by the czech republic. they'll play they team who ended welsh hopes — denmark. that is all the sport. i am quite proud of myself i managed to get a school prediction from tim henman. he was not keen on talking about that earlier, was he? look at what we are surrounded by! gorgeous. doesn't centocor look like velvet? —— centre court. outside it has been a wet start to the day. low

cloud, mist, map and drizzle. the forecast is one of showers. in between will be bright skies and may between will be bright skies and may be sunshine. some of the showers could be heavy and andrey with the top temperature around 20 degrees. —— thundery. in the north there will be sunshine and dry weather and in the south there will be showers. in the south there will be showers. in the north we have high pressure keeping things fairly settled. heavy rain in the south—west of england, wales, into the midlands with another batch coming behind it into seven counties which will ease through the day and be replaced by further showers, which could be heavy. in northern ireland, england and scotland we are back into double temperatures, ranging from the high teens to the lower 20s. still a fair

bit of bad across england and wales. shari outbreaks of wales. —— bit of cloud. there could be some mist around. there will not be any issues. a mild night for many. what find tomorrow is once again a repeat performance of today. take a line from wales to the wash, in cloud, some bright spells and showers, some of which could be heavy and thundery, particularly in the south east. in the sunshine in scotland, we could hit 24 degrees, particularly around glasgow. in south—west england and wales it will start off bright tomorrow. for the rest of us a bit more cloud will have rolled in from the nailsea overnight. with cloud we could catch

a shower and temperatures up to 24 degrees. it feels like familiar territory once again. doesn't it?! really great to see you. a slice of normality. it does feel normal to see centre court. anne robinson's goodbye wink and unflinching style saw her branded as the 'queen of mean' during her time on the weakest link and from today she returns to our screen as the host of countdown. anne becomes the sixth person — and the first woman — to present the channel 4 show in its 39—year history. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson went on set to find out how she is settling in. and if he could cope with the stair! hello and welcome to countdown. as you probably guessed, i'm new, but it does mean now three girls do countdown. today's the day when anne robinson takes overfrom nick hewer to become the sixth host of channel 4's countdown. a visit to the studio proved that she's already

making herself at home. anne robinson in the countdown chair. how is it? i've had to adapt it because i'm much smaller than nick. so there's a sort of platform coming out here that you won't have noticed. then i'm right handed, he was left handed, so i don't have the buzzer any more. this is all very interesting. technical. no, no, this isn't so technical. there's a hook for my handbag. i only got that yesterday — i've been asking for weeks. the stat that keeps being trotted out, you are the first woman to present the show in 39 years of it. when that's said, how does it make you feel? it made me feel cross because we should be past being surprised that it's a woman doing a job, shouldn't we? it's going to get mentioned, isn't it? yeah, but, you know, it shouldn't really, because if you've got the brains, what does it matter whether you're male or female? i know you're probably more likely

to have the brains if yourfemale. are things changing in tv on that front? well, i'm still here, colin, and i'm 76 and three quarters, so something's going in the right direction. over in dictionary corner, susie dent has now worked with all six countdown hosts. if you were to pick one, perhaps unusual word to describe anne, what word would you go for? 0k. you've put me on the spot here. i would say that anne is both discombobulating and then recombobulating. so she kind of takes the rug from under you and you think, "help." and then she willjust very gently put you back on it. while on the other side of the studio, it's 12 years since rachel riley replaced carol vorderman. we've taken over your board. you have. can you have any fun with that word? nine letters. well, i wasjust looking at it. you can get "fabtakers" or "farbasket." - but nothing rude. i'm here for the rude words. how different is the show with anne in the chair?

it's very different. it's almost like we've got - a different set of contestants because she gives them a grilling — not kind of weakest link style. - she's toned it down for countdown, but she still givea them a grilling. i and for some people, _ it turns them into a stand—up comic. and, you know, they're ready to give their repertoire. - for some people, they kind of treat her like a dinosaurl and they don't stare directly at her. - and if they don't move, i maybe she won't see them and she'll go away. but it's been really funny. are you nervous? yes. that's two of us. and anne agrees that countdown viewers will be exposed to a different side of her. well, i don't think you could see my form of the weakest link on now. that's certainly a change. i don't think i could say half the things i used to say. why's that? well, i think political correctness and wokeness has arrived in the last... what shall i say? ..three years. and the tweeting and the outrage would make it impossible. i think that programme makers are now very nervous. that would make it difficult to do a programme where, you know, the whole point of it was insulting

people for 45 minutes. how different is your persona? are you being cuddlier? no, i'm just as horrible in real life, colin. but when you're doing countdown... i've had enough of you now. when you're doing countdown... no, i've had enough of you. that's it. i was the weakest link. goodbye. colin paterson, bbc news, the countdown studio. you are the weakest link! quite a bright end to that frosty chat! colin did very well. tomorrow's euro 2020 tie between england and germany is a fixture with as much history as it has drama. the game at wembley will no doubt evoke memories of euro 96 and encounters from years gone by. let's take a look back at some them — and a warning, it may contain penalities!

and here comes hurst, he's got... some people are on the pitch they think it's all over. it is now! it's four! he can't! illgner has made a save! sheringham. looks for shearer, _ who loses him and gascoigne! i don't believe it! oh no! owen is through again for england. what a chance for the hat—trick here. owen! oh, this is getting better and better and better! let him run.

wasn't a great first touch from lukas podolski. - the second was lethal. again, muller is over in acres i of space and ozil has found him and muller has sealed it! that is tough to watch again! what about frank lampard's goal that was disallowed? it crossed the line by a mile! we're joined now by comedians nick hancock and henning wehn. lovely to speak to you. so many memories attached to the game and so many people are weighted down by the baggage of history when it comes to this match at wembley tomorrow. happily not the players, they are the only ones, the very young squad. the whole cliche, the pantomime of england against germany is slowly

dissipating a little bit. if you asked my son who is 20 if this was a massive game, yes, because it's a knockout game but not because it's germany. knockout game but not because it's german . . , , germany. really interesting. henning. _ germany. really interesting. henning, from _ germany. really interesting. henning, from your- germany. really interesting. henning, from your point - germany. really interesting. henning, from your point of| germany. really interesting. - henning, from your point of view, is it as much a pantomime as it has been for some generations in england shall we say? i been for some generations in england shall we say?— shall we say? i am with nick on that one. it shall we say? i am with nick on that one- it seems _ shall we say? i am with nick on that one. it seems to _ shall we say? i am with nick on that one. it seems to have _ shall we say? i am with nick on that one. it seems to have calmed - shall we say? i am with nick on that one. it seems to have calmed down | shall we say? i am with nick on that. one. it seems to have calmed down a little bit _ one. it seems to have calmed down a little bit. germany against england it's always a big game, particularly for england, germany tend to have even _ for england, germany tend to have even bigger games after!— even bigger games after! ouch! fin . ers even bigger games after! ouch! fingers crossed _ even bigger games after! ouch! fingers crossed history - even bigger games after! ouch! fingers crossed history repeats| fingers crossed history repeats itself _ fingers crossed history repeats itself but — fingers crossed history repeats itself but i am with nick absolutely, it is not as massive, it's not— absolutely, it is not as massive, it's not as — absolutely, it is not as massive, it's not as ill— absolutely, it is not as massive, it's not as ill tempered as it used to be _ it's not as ill tempered as it used to be it's — it's not as ill tempered as it used to be. it's not like headlines in the sun— to be. it's not like headlines in the sun like surrender and all that
