hello and welcome to bbc news. school isolation rules in england could be brought to an end in autumn, amid concerns about the rising number of children who have to quarantine because they are contacts of confirmed coronavirus cases. the children's commissioner for england — dame rachel de souza — has warned that the need for children to go in and out of self—isolation is a really big issue and frustrating for families and schools alike. in an interview with the daily telegraph dame rachel has also called for an end to keeping groups of children in "bubbles" at school official figures show that last week a—quarter of a million children in the uk were away from school because of covid. and the figure for england alone onjune the 17th was 172,000 the new health secretary sajid javid says action is needed — as the policy is having

a �*huge knock—on impact�* on children's education the schools minister for england, nick gibb, says the government is looking at new measures — but that it is vital to keep covid at bay. what we have been conducting is a trial of daily contact testing as an alternative to self—isolation for those who have come into contact with somebody with covid. that trial will finish tomorrow. we will look at the data to see how effective thatis at the data to see how effective that is as an approach. it is important to note that we have very effective control measures in our schools to keep children and staff save. the extra ventilation, hygiene managers. the staggered brakes, keeping children in bubbles. all of thatis keeping children in bubbles. all of that is designed to minimise the risk of transmission. children are expected to take two lateral flow tests each week at home so we can identify anybody who has covid and asymptomatic. i think that is

another important measure to try to reduce the transmission of the virus. about 3% of children are currently self—isolating as a consequence of coming into contact with somebody with coronavirus. that has increased over the week before where it was about 1%. it tends to correlate between the level of infections in the actual local community rather than what is happening in the schools. that was the schools — happening in the schools. that was the schools minutes _ happening in the schools. that was the schools minutes her _ happening in the schools. that was the schools minutes her -- - happening in the schools. that wasi the schools minutes her -- schools the schools minutes her —— schools minister. (pres)0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming is at westminster. (mix screen) (0s) everyone will be looking at this and teachers will want to know what is happening come september. when is a good government going to make a decision on this and communicate it to school? it decision on this and communicate it to school? , ., ., ~ , ., ,, to school? it is a work in progress at the moment _ to school? it is a work in progress at the moment and _ to school? it is a work in progress at the moment and some - to school? it is a work in progress at the moment and some of - to school? it is a work in progress at the moment and some of the l to school? it is a work in progress . at the moment and some of the work is making more progress in areas than others. for example, yesterday the department for education wrote

to every secondary school in england telling them to be ready to offer in school testing to students when they come back from their summer holidays. so that is a little bit of logistics starting to be put in place. when it comes to the policy of what happens to a student if one of what happens to a student if one of their classmates test positive for covid, there... if there is an update the government is promising to pass that information onto schools and parents both the break up schools and parents both the break up for summer holidays towards the end ofjuly. listening to the schools minister as he's been doing interviews, he suggested it might be much sooner than that and it would be linked to step four of the road map in england which is the 19th of july and actually suggested it might be earlier than that because the announcement will be going ahead on the week of the 12. so we could be a few weeks away to a big change to how covid is managed schools. the decision to — how covid is managed schools. the decision to say to schools, children

do not have to wear masks, that coincided with the emergence of the delta variant. is there any suggestion that mask wearing might be brought back as part of the tools to deal with covid as we look to the autumn term?— to deal with covid as we look to the autumn term? that went from being compulsory — autumn term? that went from being compulsory to _ autumn term? that went from being compulsory to advisory, _ autumn term? that went from being compulsory to advisory, to - autumn term? that went from being compulsory to advisory, to being - autumn term? that went from being compulsory to advisory, to being a l compulsory to advisory, to being a decision for individual schools, to semi—recommended in areas where there was a surge of the delta variant. it is up to head teachers what they do. but the continued wearing of masks will be part of the conversations of the other measures. that is what the unions want, not just clarity on what happens in isolation, but are there still bubbles? what size are they? when you talk about testing on premises, how often and what are the resources behind it? that focus on testing is helpful i think because it gives us a pointer to how this policy might develop in a few weeks. this week there is a pilot project in some

secondary schools which will be coming to an end where pupils took a lateralflow coming to an end where pupils took a lateral flow tests every day if they had a contact positive case rather than staying at home. that will give people evidence to use. one thing you cannot dispute that is not debate is a number of children caught up in this. there are a students last week who were sent home because they were a contact of a positive case. that is a threefold increase from weeks before. it is driving parents, teachers and the teacher unions to distraction. adam, thank ou teacher unions to distraction. adam, thank you very _ teacher unions to distraction. adam, thank you very much _ teacher unions to distraction. adam, thank you very much for _ teacher unions to distraction. adam, thank you very much for that. - teacher unions to distraction. adam, thank you very much for that. that i thank you very much for that. that was adam fleming. we would love to hear from you if you are feeling the effects of all of this. if you are a teacher whose school or classes affected. if you are a parent having to take time off work or an employer who is having to give time off to

staff. please let us know what you think about this issue and also to say a little later i will be talking to a head teacher and county durham who has actually had to close her school for a time due to the number of students and indeed staff having to isolate. the quality of face masks worn by healthcare workers in hospitals could dramatically reduce their chances of contracting coronavirus. that's according to researchers at cambridge university, who found that wearing a higher grade mask — known as a ffp3 — instead of a standard surgical one can provide up to 100% protection against the virus. 0ur science editor david shukman reports. for the vast majority of hospital staff across the uk, a key part of the defence of coronavirus is surgical masks like these. you see them everywhere. but the new study has questioned whether they are for enough protection when caring for patients with covid. —— whether they offer enough protection. —— whether they offer enough protection.

it says that if health care workers instead where this type of mask, an ffp3, the rate of infection suddenly drops. researchers discovered that during the second wave of covid last winter when hospitals in cambridge decided to upgrade the standard of protection beyond official guidance. this surgical mask is the standard issue for most health workers. it is comfortable, but the gaps around the sides could let in infectious particles. unlike with this type the ffp3, which has a far tighter seal and the study says that wearing these would be an awful lot safer. the different versions of ffp3 masks all do the same job of filtering out anything hazardous in the air and a similar standard is now required on covid wards in america. researchers here say that we should now do the same. there was a 47 times higher risk of getting coronavirus infection

if you worked on a red ward compared to a green ward while everyone was wearing surgical masks. however, the ffp3 provided up to 100% in protection against coronavirus infection. all the way through the pandemic, the government has said the safety of staff is a priority and that it has always reviewed the latest evidence. you saw him in the last report. the cambridge university viral immunologist dr mike weekes. give us a little bit more detail between these two masks. the standard between these two masks. tue: standard surgical between these two masks. tta: standard surgical mask, between these two masks. tt2 standard surgical mask, provides protection, but fits relatively loosely around the face. the ffp3 is quite tight and it filters out aerosols and that is the part in ——

they came from the community and those of the type that we are seeing with people working on green non—covid wards. whereas on the red wards, it was due to community exposure and as well as the ward. but we can —— but that nearly disappeared using the ffp3 mask which is why we think it's so good. you have done the study, but clearly these masks were thought to have been better for a long these masks were thought to have been betterfor a long time. why this now? we been better for a long time. why this now? ~ ., ., , ., this now? we are now providing the first real world _ this now? we are now providing the first real world evidence. _ this now? we are now providing the first real world evidence. it - this now? we are now providing the first real world evidence. it has - first real world evidence. it has been known that they protect against aerosols, but there has been a development in our understanding thinking... if you think back to the first days, there was a big debate about whether we should wear masks or not. it is increasingly

recognised that it is a mixture of droplets and aerosols. this study provides very good evidence for protection. we provides very good evidence for protection-— provides very good evidence for protection. provides very good evidence for rotection. ~ ~ ., ., ., protection. we know going back to the beginning _ protection. we know going back to the beginning of— protection. we know going back to the beginning of the _ protection. we know going back to the beginning of the pandemic - protection. we know going back to j the beginning of the pandemic and many health care workers were dying and we know now it was because of the level of exposure to so many people with covid that they were coming into contact with, that high viral load. do you think it should not really need a study. of course the study is helpful, but it backs up the study is helpful, but it backs up what lots of people have been saying. it should not take this, do you think, for the government to look at providing these sorts of masks to health care workers dealing with covid patients. you masks to health care workers dealing with covid patients.— with covid patients. you clearly need studies _ with covid patients. you clearly need studies for _ with covid patients. you clearly need studies for everything. i with covid patients. you clearly i need studies for everything. they are the basis of any government decision, it should be on science, that should drive everything we do. this is very useful evidence. i think now there is very good evidence that the ffp3 mask does

provide good protection. we should be very seriously looking at staff working on red wards who are exposed to coronavirus patients should be wearing ffp3 masks. tqm. to coronavirus patients should be wearing ffps masks.— to coronavirus patients should be wearing ffps masks. 0k, thank you ve much wearing ffps masks. 0k, thank you very much for— wearing ffps masks. 0k, thank you very much forjoining _ wearing ffps masks. 0k, thank you very much forjoining us _ wearing ffps masks. 0k, thank you very much forjoining us today. - coronavirus restrictions have been reintroduced in parts of australia's queensland state including its biggest city, brisbane. restrictions there are expected to last three days and comes after two new community cases were detected in the state. the cities of sydney, perth and darwin are already under tougher measures following a cluster of outbreaks. the health secretary, sajid javid, has called footage showing professor chris whitty being harassed appalling and totally unacceptable. police are investigating after england's chief medical officer was approached in a london park. footage shared online shows him being accosted by two men. this isn't the first time professor whitty faced public harrassment — earlier this month he was confronted in a street in oxford.

the schools minister nick gibb is one one a number of ministers who've condemned the action. those scenes are absently appalling. —— they are absolutely appalling. this is of course a matter for the police now, investigating this crime and i hope the full weight of the law and the justice system will fall upon those those who have been perpetrating this terrible incident. everybody should be able to walk through the park, whoever they are, however well known as a face, they should be able to walk through our parks and streets on accosted in this way. the headlines on bbc news... the time is 9:16am. school isolation rules in england could end in the autumn amid concerns of the soaring number of children missing lessons. the health secretary condemns video footage showing england's chief medical officer is being harassed by two men, describing the incident as

appalling and unacceptable. a higher grade facemask could provide up to 100% protection against covid—19 for medical staff according to new research from cambridge university. this thursday, voters in batley and spen in west yorkshire, will head to the polls to elect a new mp from among 16 candidates. the by—election was triggered after labour's tracy brabin, stepped down to become a regional mayor. 0ur presenter martine croxall and ankur desai from the bbc asian network are in batley today, finding out what issues matter to the voters there. good morning to the both of you. a huge choice for the voters. it's been a really tough campaign so far. yes, a lot of attention being paid to batley and spen. what has been happening over the last few weeks. we picked a fine day to come to the park. i'm hoping at some point, you might hear the beautiful chimes of

but batley needs a new mp, it is their fifth constituency election in six years. there are three and thousand votes between labour and the conservatives here. comparisons to what happened in hartlepool are easy, but slightly wide of the mark. batley and spen has had a conservative mp before, 1983 until the �*90s caught up with the conservatives. there is also not as big a brexit party vote from 2019 to be shared out here. but the party that came third in 2019, a party formed by former ukip members is not standing. that is over 6000 votes that have got to go somewhere. people here tell us they feel overlooked by bigger towns and cities next door. they are well aware that this national attention will go away soon. they want an mp that sticks up for them when the cameras have gone.

will be more and more attractive. tt will be more and more attractive. it is really nice to hear the optimism. hannah, sam, thank you very much for talking to us even though you did not give away who you're going to vote for. you still got a couple days to think it through. in about an hour, we are hoping to speak to the labour candidate, sojoin us then. look forward to hearing more a little later. right, it is time for a look at the weather. hello again. we've got a north—south split in the weather today. in the north, generally it is drier and it is brighter and it is warmer, whereas in the south we have got all this cloud. some of that producing some drizzle, some of it producing some showers. we could catch a show at wimbledon later and indeed the football. but brightening up in south—west england, wales, northern england and much of scotland and northern ireland seeing some sunshine. away from the north and west coast, we will hold onto a lot of cloud through the course of the day. showers to clear the far south east overnight and then we have got more

cloud coming in from the north sea, drifting steadily westwards, although many western areas will have clear skies. it is not going to be a cold night. for some in the south, it will be a humid one. tomorrow we start off with all this cloud across central and eastern areas. again, producing some showers, some drizzle here and they are. the odd isolated shower in parts of the west but generally west is best in terms of sunshine. so we are looking at top temperatures of 22.

hello this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. the headlines: school isolation rules in england could end in the autumn, amid concerns over the soaring number of children missing lessons. think these trials in a small number of secondary schools to see if daily contact testing isn't alternative to self isolation. a higher grade face mask could provide up to 100 per cent protection against covid—19 for medical staff, according to new research from cambridge university. we'll bring you all the build—up to tonight's big match at wembley, as england play germany in the last 16 of the euros. that is where we are going right now, to wembley. john watson as they

are. such a lot to talk about. i heard you on the radio talking about the weight of history around tonight's game. i gather gareth southgate will get his players not to think about that, basically? goad to think about that, basically? good morninu to think about that, basically? good morning from _ to think about that, basically? good morning from wembley _ to think about that, basically? (limp. morning from wembley where the atmosphere is beginning to build ahead of kick—off here at five o'clock. you are right, that is what gareth southgate is so good at, taking the pressure away from his players. he will not want to burden them with the history of the matches that have gone on before. so much anticipation and excitement and a huge rivalry between these two when they meet here later for a place in they meet here later for a place in the quarterfinals at euro 2020. it will be a fascinating match. worth pointing out unfortunately for the england fans, the weight of history does not go in their favour. england fans, the weight of history does not go in theirfavour. when these sides meeting knockout matches

in major tournaments, there are major games and england tends to come out on the wrong side as only foster can tell us. here we go again. forget italia 90... and england are out of the world cup. ..forget euro 96. oh, no! this england group are actually looking forward to this game. since topping their group, the players have had the best part of a week to focus solely on germany. some will be playing against them for the first time, whereas the manager's career was defined by tonight's opposition. the penalty miss 25 years ago, shaped him as a player and a coach. we've always talked about the past and, erm, teams and their records and baggage and everything else. and there's no reason for these boys to feel that way. most weren't born when a lot of those games happened. it's an irrelevance for them. of course, germany are serial winners, looking for a fourth european title to go with their four world cups. but they were minutes from going out of the tournament.

they look beatable. england haven't conceded a goal yet. it's the scoring bit that's troubled them. harry kane won the golden boot at the last world cup. the captain is yet to find his shooting boots here. you go through some spells, some don't _ you go through some spells, some don't go _ you go through some spells, some don't go your way. and, of course, roaring them on will be a nation. the players might tell you it's just another match. but with more than 40,000 at wembley, they'll soon be reminded that it's not. we're going to roar that team on, and fingers crossed, _ we'll actually get- the result that we want. but i'm so looking forward to it. it's going to be fantastic. we have got to win. slowly getting excited, which is a bad thing, because we do this every tournament and then we always seem to get let down when we get

to the latter stages. hopefully we can turn that into a blessing — hopefully we can turn that into a blessing and make it a win. raheem sterling has been a fans�* favourite so far. his goals against croatia and czech republic saw england reach the last 16. he should start. other selections will be trickier for southgate. this is where all eyes will be on him again, just as they were in 1996. 0lly foster, bbc news. alan shearer insists england's young squad can write their own chapter this evening. we've got their own opportunity to make their own piece of history. we go on about this fixture because it means so much to great footballing countries. and want to go head—to—head. there is a bit more to come from this england team, hopefully. they have not got going yet, they have looked solid

defensively but in forward positions it has not clicked yet. we hope that can happen this evening. tt felt it has not clicked yet. we hope that can happen this evening.— can happen this evening. it felt as thou:h can happen this evening. it felt as though yesterday _ can happen this evening. it felt as though yesterday this _ can happen this evening. it felt as though yesterday this tournamentj though yesterday this tournament came alive. there was lots of drama in the tournament last night. world champions france are out — despite leading 3—1 — paul pogba with the pick of their goals. but switzerland scored twice in the last ten minutes to take the game to extra time. there were no more goals so it went to penalties — where one of the world's best strikers, kylian mbappe, missed — meaning switzerland won 5—4 on penalties. it blew the tournament wide open. three—time champions spain are through after a dramatic afternoon in copenhagen — that included one of the most bizarre own goals you'll see at the tournament. a huge mistake from the spanish goalkeeper. they were forced to extra time by croatia — eventually winning 5—3 —

to reach the final four. what a day it was in wimbledon. it's a sight we'd all been waiting for, andy murray back on centre court at wimbledon. he had a four—year absence. he had a tough opening match. the former world number one beat 24th seed nikoloz basilashvili in a dramatic four set victory. it's his first wimbledon singles match since 2017, after recovering from hip surgery. murray can rest today before his second round match on wednesday. 19—year—old britonjack draper had a day to remember on centre court. he took the first set against the defending champion novak djokovic, who went on to win in four sets. an opening encounter that was very tough for him. fellow brits francesca jones, dan evans and cameron norrie are all in action later today. they carry the british hopes into

will be an issue. what is good and i have said this before, the england germany thing was a massive thing for the fans. when we beat them in munich, i was there as well, it was almost like the skeletons had dashed out of the cupboard that day. which was fantastic. world cup 2006, they are talking about that in germany, what a brilliant world cup that was. that did a lot to get fans together and think, we love to get together and think, we love to get together and we love to have a laugh and have and we love to have a laugh and have a drink. england and germany fans got on and worked really well in that world cup. since then i was messaging my german friends, what do you think the score will be? i am looking forward to this. we are very similar in how we play our football and how we do our social life and i think that people can sort of knock down in the jingoistic staff, that is back in the day now. let's go

for a new run—around how about this. a ford escort, in light blue, forty years old but in good condition...there's a rather hefty price tag though. it could cost up to £40,000. that's because it once belonged to princess diana. it was bought for her by prince charles shortly after their engagement, and it goes under the hammer at auction today. luxmy gopal reports. a royal who drew crowds and interest wherever she went, princess diana's life and legacy continues to captivate, even when it comes to her humble 1981 ford escort. inside, you see still in fantastic condition, blue velour interior, very 1980's there. the mark iii ghia was a gift from prince charles shortly after their engagement. she'd watch him play polo from it. and on the bonnet was a playful symbol of their relationship. this little fellow, he is a replica of a gift from lady sarah spencer, the sister of princess diana, and he harks back to the kids' fairy tale, the frog prince, in which a beautiful girl kisses a frog and he turns into a prince. diana moved to this car from a mini metro, which was a car that she owned. of course, the mini metro was a fairly cheap car back in the day.

and this was an escort. it's the ghia model, which is the most expensive model, the highest street model. bit of a step up, if i'm honest. the old fleet, if you like, of cars was used by the royal family for many years. diana had a succession of these. this was the first of three escorts that she had at different times. for the past 20 years the car's current owner kept its origins a secret. now, thanks to its royal connection, it's expected to fetch ten times what this model normally would at auction. nine careful owners, relatively low mileage given its age, and bidding begins at £30,000. and we've had inquiries from south america, from australia, from all around europe. there's been significant interest in it. and really, that's testament to diana's enduring legacy. and as you quite rightly say, items with a connection to her, you know, have a great cachet for collectors. diana, even if she had still been alive, would have still commanded

the interest because there is no one like her. she was brilliant for the british public and morale and - everything else. she was the most beautiful woman. while the marriage between charles and diana is remembered for its discord and divorce, this car is a sign of happier times, a gift from a prince for a future princess in the early days of their romance. luxmy gopal, bbc news. a painting by pablo picasso that was stolen nine years ago was recovered yesterday by police in greece. the artwork — called woman's head — was taken during a heist at athens national gallery. it was stolen in 2012 along with a painting of a windmill by piet mondrian dating back to 1905. now it's time for a look at the weather with carole.
