of lifting restrictions on three weeks' time. and more than the possibility, they made it sound as if it was actually something of a dead cert. but when it comes to the pandemic, when it comes to the government's handling of covid and how cases shift up and down and the spread of the disease, i think our viewers would be forgiven for wondering whether or not they should be quite so sure. we have learned, haven't we, on so many occasions over the last year—and—a—half that the government have had to change their plans at the last minute, whatever consequences that has then for people trying to plan their lives, trying to plan seeing relatives and holidays. trying to cope with the disruption that covid has had for everybody. but the big difference now of course is the vaccination programme. in downing street, they are hoping that in the next couple of weeks before that date, there will be another 5 millionjobs also going date, there will be another 5 million jobs also going into the arms, trying as each day goes past to build this very solid defence but you are right, after a very choppy

few days the government i think today had made a deliberate decision today had made a deliberate decision to get out there and pump out a hopeful message. but when i think when it comes to covid, never quite put something in ink, that date is not a cast—iron guarantee. it is something that is very much still pencilled in, however optimistic ministers want to some, just as f boris, johnson was not in complete control of what happened to matt hancock, downing street is not in complete control of this pandemic either. . . complete control of this pandemic either. ., ., , , , ., ~ complete control of this pandemic either. ., ., , , , ., ,, , ., the latest government figures show that in the past 2a hours three deaths were reported and 22,868 new infections were recorded, but technical problems over the weekend means approximately 2,0000 infections that should have been reported yesterday are reflected in today's total. scotland has reported 3,258 cases, the highest since the pandemic began. there has been an average of 16,612 new cases per day in the uk last week.

over 139,000 people received a first dose of the vaccine in the latest 2a hour period, meaning nearly 44.5 million people have now had theirfirstjab — that's 84.4% of uk adults. just over 123,000 people have had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 2a hour period. with more than 32.5 million people having now had both doses, that's 61.9% of uk adults. as we've just seen, the number of infections is continuing to rise rapidly, but hospitalisations are rising at a much slower rate. 0ur medical editor fergus walsh looks at the role the vaccine programme is playing in reducing levels of serious illness from coronavirus. every day, with every vaccination, the link between covid cases and severe illness is getting weaker. the more people who are protected, the less damage the virus can do.

during september and october last year, coronavirus cases rose sharply to more than 20,000 cases per day over the same period before vaccines, the number of patients being admitted to hospital every day followed a similar upward trend, rising to nearly 1500 patients a day. but if we look at the period from may this year, although cases have risen sharply to around 15,000 per day, hospital admissions have not followed that same upward trend, rising to just over 200 patients a day. the chances of dying from covid have fallen dramatically. at the peak injanuary, it estimated that one in every 60 infections caused a death. now, it's fewerthan one in every 60 infections caused a death. now, it's fewer than one in every 1000. and it is the huge success of covid vaccines which has

prompted some scientists to back the lifting of restrictions in three weeks. , , ., , weeks. the july date is good because schools will be _ weeks. the july date is good because schools will be closing _ weeks. the july date is good because schools will be closing for _ weeks. the july date is good because schools will be closing for the - schools will be closing for the summer, we will be going into the summer, we will be going into the summer holidays and transmission potential will be somewhat less than it would be in the autumn will be winter. and also, we are pretty close to getting the vast majority of our population, adult population, immunised. abs, of our population, adult population, immunised-— of our population, adult population, immunised. a new study shows that mixin: immunised. a new study shows that mixing between _ immunised. a new study shows that mixing between astrazeneca - immunised. a new study shows that mixing between astrazeneca and . mixing between astrazeneca and pfizer vaccines gives strong protection against coronavirus. initial results show getting a different brand as the second dose can actually boost immunity levels. i think when it comes to giving the first two doses, better to stick to standard schedules because we know they are effective and work. when it comes to giving later dozes like a booster dose, then these mix and match schedules of a good response.

scotland has recorded more than 3000 daily coronavirus cases, the highest number over 2a hours since the start of the pandemic. vaccines don't give complete protection but the more people who are immunised, the more covid hospital admissions will be keptin covid hospital admissions will be kept in check. fergus walsh, bbc news. hugh pym joined us. according to their new health secretary it seems all systems go in england for lifting restrictions onjuly all systems go in england for lifting restrictions on july the 19th but given that report, could the data yet go the wrong way? this rare the data yet go the wrong way? as we have heard. — the data yet go the wrong way? as we have heard, experts _ the data yet go the wrong way? as we have heard, experts are _ the data yet go the wrong way? as we have heard, experts are pretty - the data yet go the wrong way? is "he: have heard, experts are pretty clear that although case numbers are rising quite rapidly, the number of hospital admissions is rising a lot less fast and that the vaccines are having an impact. in fact, public health england today published new figures, quoted by the secretary of state, suggesting 27,000 lives have been saved by the vaccines and that 7 million infections have been

prevented. so, that is the sort of database behind which the government are now saying, actually, they are pretty confident about going ahead onjuly the 19th. but, as you just said, 22,000 is the latest figure the daily reported cases. the underlying averages obviously less than that over the last week but 22,000 is double what the daily reported cases were a week ago. so it begs the question, what happens if it doubles again? and we get nearer to the point when they have to confirm whetherjuly the 19th in england is going ahead? hospital admissions will have risen a little bit more. so it does suggest quite a few imponderables to stop sajid javid also said the government because my aim was to have two thirds of adults having two doses by july the 19th. well, one expert this morning on one of the government advisory committee said he would be advisory committee said he would be a bit more comfortable if it was near 80% who had had two doses. so it is looking pretty positive at the

moment but i think there is certainly scope for things to change. data often does change and as laboursaid, change. data often does change and as labour said, there were promises about opening up at christmas which did not take place, then schools were set to reopen injanuary and that only happened for one day and even during the 21st, the changes which were told were looking pretty good for monday we did not happen and were postponed.— good for monday we did not happen and were postponed. thank you very much. another _ and were postponed. thank you very much. another blow _ and were postponed. thank you very much. another blow to _ and were postponed. thank you very much. another blow to holiday - and were postponed. thank you very | much. another blow to holiday plans. from today, uk visitors to portugal must quarantine for two weeks unless fully vaccinated. the new rule imposed by portugal reflects continuing concern over the spread of the delta variant. hong kong has banned all passenger flights from the uk from thursday. here is caroline davies. another cloud in the sky for international travel. 0vernight, portugal announced international arrivals must be fully vaccinated or quarantined for 1h days. it has meant last—minute changes for victoria and simon, due to go their

industry sources speculate that maybe a new model is coming. now, this is a big moment for the government of course, because nissan were one of loudest voices warning of a no—deal brexit and the government are making a contribution to the cost, 2,000 directjobs and maybe 4 thousand in the supply chain. it comes at an important moment. in the trade deal with the eu, there are no tariffs, but thor or the components that have to come from the uk has to start going up. you can't get your batteries from china or the us. the industry have been warning we need this to secure production and they will hope it is a down payment on the factories it will need to secure production in the future. will need to secure production in the future-— our top story this evening:

spain had had croatia the lead with a bizarre own goal against the run of play a simple back pass to the spanish keeper was scliped into his own net. replays showed how a momentary lapse led to the error. the game is in the second half with the score 2—1 to spain. last month a two—year—old girl called harper—lee fanthorpe died in hospital after swallowing a button battery from a remote control. those kind of batteries are found in lots of products — from watches, to toys, and kitchen scales. now, five weeks after harper—lee's death, her mum and sister are calling for more awareness about the dangers the batteries pose to children. they've been speaking to phil mackie. toddler sings. 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'd listened to is, she loved rave music, rave and dance music! anything else, she wouldn't dance to, would she? she'd always give a little fist pump. she laughs. five weeks ago, her older sister was looking after her and she suddenly became ill. her head just went backwards. and then she sat back up and just blood came out. so i rang an ambulance straight away. it must have been very frightening for you? yeah. she just... she wasn't responding and they told me to put her on her side. so she could still breathe and she just went very wheezy. her eyesjust closed and she couldn't talk back to me. it was like she wasn't there. no—one knew that she'd 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's the last time i saw her. halfway through her surgery, a surgeon came out and asked if she'd swallowed anything. i said, "not that i know." that's when they told me they thought she'd swallowed a button battery. so, we actually went up then to children's intensive care where we were waiting for more news. and hejust said, "i'm sorry." that's what i can remember. i can rememberjust letting a loud scream out, shouting, "no." and i had tojust go and tell my girls, because they were only letting

two of us in a room, and i had to tell my girls that their baby sister had passed away. she's left a very big hole. very. when you realised what had happened, what did you then think about those batteries, and particularly about the remote control in this instance, but the way that they are relatively easily accessible, i guess, for little children? and we actually found the remote without the button battery in. so i turned it around, and itjust came out. it wasn't even secure. there was no lock on it. there was no lock. there was no little thing you had to push to get it out. itjust slid out. harper—lee's granddad's built a memorial at the bottom of the garden. the family really hopes that by talking about her, other lives will be saved. phil mackie, bbc news,
