hello, good morning and welcome to bbc news. the celebrations are continuing this morning after england reached the quarter—finals of the european championships. raheem stirling and harry kane put gareth southgate�*s team into the last eight with a two—nil win over germany in front of a0 thousand fans at wembley. it's the first time they've beaten their rivals in a knockout match at a major tournament since the 1966 world cup final. they now face ukraine in rome. ina bid in a bid to reach the semifinals of the tournament in the first time in 25 years. our sports correspondent olly foster reports on the match — and the celebrations. they are the history—makers. germany finally beaten by a new generation of england players. they said they wouldn't be weighed down by the past and they still have a future in this tournament. an amazing day, amazing game.

to hear wembley like this was just a moment none of us will ever forget. it's been a tough couple of years for everyone in this country, so to put smiles back on faces that we know at home everyone at home will be celebrating, everyone in the stadium has enjoyed a great moment, a feeling. the first—half was cagey, perhaps the prospect of extra time and penalties was too much to bear, as both sides pressed for a winner after the break. jordan pickford was the busier of the two keepers. for the thousands at wembley, the millions around the country, this was tough to watch. it was the introduction of jack grealish that provided the spark that england needed. he played a part in the opening goal. luke shaw provided the cross for raheem sterling. his third goal of the tournament. he's got the run through the middle. it is thomas muller. thomas muller scored twice when germany beat england at the 2010 world cup. that was their chance.

this was england's time to deliver the knockout blow. grealish again, with the cross for his captain. harry kane getting off the mark at this tournament in just right time. in comes the captain! the manager roared with delight at the full—time whistle. 25 years after his wembley penalty pain, against the same opposition. how sweet was this? i'm just so pleased. i was looking at the big screen and i saw dave seaman up there and i can't, for the team—mates that played with me, i can't change that, so that's always going to hurt, but what's lovely is that we've given people another day to remember. celebrations on the pitch were matched by those in the royal box. prince george is becoming england's lucky mascot. there was jubilation in downing street. yes! we did score! and at the bbc studios.

but nothing to match the euphoria up and down the country. england supporters singing with greater belief now that football's coming home. the atmosphere was electric in there. it was just amazing. awesome, such a great time. history, history. that's it, we're going to go all the way. england to win. come on! next for england? ukraine on saturday in rome, their first match away from wembley, but if they get through that, with the semifinals and final back here next week, then they really can dare to dream. our sports presenter sally nugent is at wembley stadium. the morning after tonight before and what a night it was, i know mines are racing forwards towards roma, but let's talk about that game last

night, a really fantastic performance.— night, a really fantastic performance. night, a really fantastic erformance. , ., ., . performance. yes, it was a fantastic performance- _ performance. yes, it was a fantastic performance. and _ performance. yes, it was a fantastic performance. and what _ performance. yes, it was a fantastic performance. and what is _ performance. yes, it was a fantastic performance. and what is believed i performance. yes, it was a fantastic| performance. and what is believed is obviously, we have been here since very, very early when it was very, very, very early when it was very, very quiet indeed and we are just starting to see england fans emerge in the last few minutes. some of them looking very weary indeed after a big celebration last night. because what a momentous night it was. if you watched the game, i would say the first 20 minutes, england did not look that comfortable and my goodness, germany really dead. but the important thing that happened, england did not panic at that point and that is the thing that was quite striking last night, they kept calm, kept it together. eventually getting that first goal via raheem sterling really settled the nerves. the crowd responded fantastically in the stadium. you saw at one point declan rice going across to the england fans and trying to whip them up, they didn't need any more whipping up, i can tell you! but it really, really

worked. i think the players felt the support of the crowd very keenly last night, brilliance to have so many fans inside, so noisy. the noise was astonishing considering it was nowhere near capacity. and i think the players fed off that, the fans enjoyed it and it was a magical, magical evening. find fans enjoyed it and it was a magical, magical evening. and so im ortant magical, magical evening. and so important i _ magical, magical evening. and so important i think— magical, magical evening. and so important i think for— magical, magical evening. and so important i think for the - magical, magical evening. and so important i think for the team's i important i think for the team's confidence going forward, so important of course for captain harry kane to score that goal and he and raheem sterling were heavily marked throughout. you mentioned calmness, they did keep their composure and they found their chances and they took them. yes. chances and they took them. yes, the did, chances and they took them. yes, they did. and _ chances and they took them. yes, they did, and that _ chances and they took them. yes, they did, and that is _ chances and they took them. 133 they did, and that is something that actually, in the past, england haven't been able to do. and you haven't been able to do. and you have to also look at the game last night and think, they had a little bit of luck on their side. i have watched england so many times looking like they are going to score and theyjust don't. and last night, theyjust and theyjust don't. and last night, they just seems to

and theyjust don't. and last night, theyjust seems to have that and theyjust don't. and last night, they just seems to have that little bit of extra sparkle, that bit of extra magic. to get them to that comfortable, you would have to say, 2-0 comfortable, you would have to say, 2—0 score line. really interesting after the match gareth southgate said, i am the party paper, we are not going to celebrate this, we are going to stay completely calm and take it one game at a time —— party pooper. the next game they will look forward to now is saturday night in rome, the stadio 0limpico playing ukraine who left it really late to beat sweden last night, very late indeed. and that is what england will be focused on now. it is the first time they have really had to travel so that is a change for them, but all the plans are in place, they are ready to go and today is all about rest, recuperation and recovery. that is what they will be focused on. recovery. that is what they will be focused om— recovery. that is what they will be focused on. you mentioned gareth southgate- — focused on. you mentioned gareth southgate. what _ focused on. you mentioned gareth southgate. what do _ focused on. you mentioned gareth southgate. what do you _ focused on. you mentioned gareth southgate. what do you think- focused on. you mentioned gareth southgate. what do you think that | southgate. what do you think that victory last night means for him? the word redemption has been used a lot, he was clearly very clearly

thinking about that even though he encouraged his players to forget the history and not think about the baggage of the past. for him, that was a really special game. find baggage of the past. for him, that was a really special game. and what struck me last _ was a really special game. and what struck me last night _ was a really special game. and what struck me last night when _ was a really special game. and what struck me last night when you - was a really special game. and what struck me last night when you heard from gareth southgate after the game was how he spoke again about euro �*96 and talking about letting his team—mates down. they were not his exact words, but he said, i can't change that for the team—mates i was with at the time. and you really did feel when he said that still hurts, you felt that responsibility, that burden that he has carried for all of these years, for so long. and i'm sure his team—mates have all forgiven him and for gave him a long time ago, but he very much feels it. and like you said, the word redemption, you have to think that maybe, last night, for him, you would hope, is a big, big step towards that. and if england continue in this tournament, if he

can keep them going, who knows what that might do?— that might do? those ghosts of 1996 miaht be that might do? those ghosts of 1996 might be gone _ that might do? those ghosts of1996 might be gone for— that might do? those ghosts of 1996 might be gone for good. _ that might do? those ghosts of 1996 might be gone for good. onwards . that might do? those ghosts of 1996| might be gone for good. onwards and might be gone for good. 0nwards and upwards, hopefully. thank you very much, sally, at wembley. and you know we love to hear your opinion on all sorts of stories we are covering. do let me know about the match last night, about what that result means for you, you can do that on twitter using the hashtag and i will try to read out some of your comments. let's talk to two england fans who were there last night. two england fans who were there last night, lynda court, who's been to all of england's group games. and england superfan russell 0sbourne, who does the three lions podcast. i'm sure you are both super fans! great to have you with us today. what a morning, took me through your evening yesterday watching the game, where you are on the edge of your seat? ., .., where you are on the edge of your seat? ., .. _ ., ., ., .,, seat? you can say that again! it was an incredible — seat? you can say that again! it was an incredible experience _ seat? you can say that again! it was an incredible experience and - seat? you can say that again! it was an incredible experience and i - seat? you can say that again! it was an incredible experience and i was l an incredible experience and i was just so pleased to be able to be there. i have been to all the other games, the group games as well, and

are through to the quarterfinals of euros 2020. dozens of people affected by disabilities across the uk speak of the devastating impacts the pandemic has had on their lives. and from midnight, eu citizens living in the uk will lose their rights to live and work here unless they have applied for settled status. more than 5.5 million already have. it's being reported that the government is going to ditch the requirement to self—isolate for ten days — this if you come into contact with a positive coronavirus case — for anyone who is "double jabbed". from july the 19th. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster and we can speak to him now. we are talking about reports and speculation. it

we are talking about reports and speculation-— speculation. it is about what ministers — speculation. it is about what ministers will _ speculation. it is about what ministers will decide, - speculation. it is about what ministers will decide, but i speculation. it is about what| ministers will decide, but we speculation. it is about what - ministers will decide, but we know they are looking at this and that is a pilot programme involving tens of thousands of people in england. if you get contacted by test and trace, you canjoin this pilot programme and you will either stick with the current policy, which is you have to stay at home for ten days with great disruption to your daily life, oryou days with great disruption to your daily life, or you can do a couple of pcr tests and lateral flow test, the little strips, every day, and you can basically go about your essential business. so ministers will be struggling —— studying that data and deciding what to do. i would put money on it we will probably get an announcement on this on or around july the 12th when the big decision is made of going ahead with the final step of the road map and july 19th. another thing speculated about in the papers today is the covid certificates. the qr codes of the pieces of paper that show a that you have had a negative test recently, you have been

vaccinated or you have had covid and recovered so you have got the antibodies and you are less of a risk to other people. speculation that will now only apply for large events and even if it does apply for large events, it will only be if the organisers want to use that system, that it will be voluntary. again, that it will be voluntary. again, thatis that it will be voluntary. again, that is speculation, too. but if you read between the lines of what ministers are saying, that looks like the direction they are going on. ~ ., like the direction they are going on. ~ . y ., like the direction they are going on. . ., , ., ., like the direction they are going on. . ., ., ., ~ like the direction they are going on. ., ., .,~ , on. what you are talking about, is this the same _ on. what you are talking about, is this the same as _ on. what you are talking about, is this the same as the _ on. what you are talking about, is this the same as the report - on. what you are talking about, is this the same as the report of- this the same as the report of people who have been double—jabbed having a bar code effectively on the nhs app which would allow them to go into large—scale events? yes. nhs app which would allow them to go into large-scale events?— into large-scale events? yes, if you no onto into large-scale events? yes, if you go onto the — into large-scale events? yes, if you go onto the nhs— into large-scale events? yes, if you go onto the nhs app _ into large-scale events? yes, if you go onto the nhs app at _ into large-scale events? yes, if you go onto the nhs app at the - into large-scale events? yes, if you| go onto the nhs app at the moment into large-scale events? yes, if you i go onto the nhs app at the moment or if you went on to it a couple weeks ago, you would see a new section where you can get qr code with your vaccine status and you get the code evenif vaccine status and you get the code even if you have just had your first jab, you get a separate one once you have had your second and it takes two weeks for immunity to kick in. but we noticed a new tab on the app

a couple weeks ago which said, do you want a covid certificate? you clicked on it and that was if you wanted to attend an event. so we checked with the government and they said that was part of the pilot programme they are doing where they are trailing these codes at mass events. but another little bit of evidence that suggests the focus for those covid certificates is really only going to be things like football matches, the theatre, may be the cinema or festivals, not going to the pub or going into a shop, which was some of the ideas first mooted when this idea emerged. adam, thanks for bringing us up—to—date. adam fleming. malta, madeira, and the balearic islands have been added to the uk's travel green list. they arejoined by a number of uk overseas territories, including bermuda, antigua, barbados.

the change means holidaymakers will no longer have to self—isolate on their return to the uk from these areas. tess will have to be taken on day two after they return. —— tests. police in western canada say dozens of people in the vancouver area have died in an unprecedented heatwave. nearly 70 sudden deaths have been reported in two vancouver suburbs in the past two days. canada has recorded its highest ever temperature — 49.5 celsius in lytton, in british columbia. jodi hughes is the weather presenter for global news in calgary. it's about 28—29 outside, but in my house, it's even warmer. i don't have air conditioning in my house. i'm very typical, in that not a lot of albertans have air conditioning. and so, we've seen increasing numbers of people booking hotel rooms just to get out of the heat. i'm actually one of them. that's where we're going tomorrow night, because we just need a break.

but it is something that we have just never seen before, we have never seen a stretch of temperatures this hot for this long. and unfortunately, it's still going to continue for another couple of days. so, it will carry on for another few days and it's extremely dangerous, as we've been hearing. so, you're saying you're booking into a hotel, what other measures have been put in place to protect those who are vulnerable? well, do you know, it is just so dangerous. when this first began, just before the heat warnings were even issued, all of the weather people that were in the alberta, bc, saskatchewan region, we were invited to a call with our national weather agency because they wanted to impart the danger of weather like this. the longer that the heat event goes on, the more that your health issues can be compounded — and that's heart, kidneys, lungs. the seniors, for anyone who is vulnerable.

so they wanted to impress on us the importance of giving that message. so, we've been sharing that message. we know that many care facilities have been checking on seniors regularly. we know that there is obviously an increase in calls and, unfortunately, we know that some have died because of this heatwave. the warning they gave us at the time was a reminder of the heatwave in quebec on the other side of the country back in 2018, when 90 people died from the heatwave there. and at last count, from what i saw, over 200 people have lost their lives because of this heat. that was jodi hughes talking that wasjodi hughes talking to my colleague. a study has found that greater manchester suffered a covid—19 death rate around 25 per cent higher than the average for england. that contributed to a greater than average fall in life expectancy across the north—west of england. the research is warning that the gulf between the rich and poor will continue to grow unless changes are made in areas like education, housing and jobs. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has more.

in the years to come. dominic hughes, bbc news, manchester. a plan to ban some british meat products being sold in northern ireland is expected to be postponed today. the european union is set to formally extend the six—month grace period that allows goods like fresh sausages to reach northern ireland without checks. 0ur correspondent dan johnson is in belfast. good money for the save our sausages campaign has become more about the political symbolism of its rather than a worry that northern ireland might run out of sausages. there are some very good sausage produces here in northern ireland who could actually benefit from a ban, i can attest to that myself, but the rules were due to change later this week and because of northern ireland's special status after brexit and because of the northern ireland protocol, there would have been in effect a ban on importing chilled meat products, processed goods like sausages and mince because that is not allowed in a eu and in order to stop a border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland,

that ban would have in effect taken place between great britain and northern ireland. but there has already been a six—month grace period in which those rules haven't applied and the uk and the eu have been negotiating about extending that for a further three months and it looks like that three month further extension is going to be announced later today. also today, there is a judicial review into the wider impacts of those rules, the northern ireland protocol. it means checks on goods arriving here in northern ireland from the rest of the uk, we should find out later this morning whether a judge thinks those rules are fair and legal. lian those rules are fair and legal. dan johnson reporting. it is 929 am. this is the weather forecast. areas of cloud, mess and flood, that will lift and clear in most places with sunny spells into the afternoon and the odd isolated shower. a different story across eastern counties of england, we will keep thicker crowd here with the odd spot

of rain at times. further west, we will see some of that sunshine come northern ireland, scotland, the western side of england and wales, one or two showers across south—west scotland and more especially wales and the south—west, but they will be the exception rather than the room. top temperatures in the sunny spot is up to 22 or 23 degrees. this evening and tonight, more cloud in from the north sea into eastern england, some of that perhaps into eastern scotland with the odd spot of drizzle and it turns quite misty and murky for some western coasts. in between, some clear spells. decent sunny spells in the fork is that perhaps into eastern scotland with the odd spot of drizzle and it turns quite misty and murky for some western coasts. in between, some clear spells. western coasts. in between, some clearspells. decent western coasts. in between, some clear spells. decent sunny spells in the focus is hello this is bbc news.. this the headlines... england end a 55 year wait for a knockout win over germany as they are through to the quarterfinals of

remember any of that. it's not relevant to them and they have been told to forget about it. but the fans did have to be a little bit patient at the start. 40,000 or so who were inside wembley waited and it paid off when raheem sterling scored in the second half to give england the lead. and then after that captain harry kane sealed the win with his first goal of the tournament, queueing wild celebrations. only 40,000, but it is as good an atmosphere as i can remember in wembley. so we played extremely well. i think we deserved the win, but i have had to say to them straightaway, i'm the party pooper, because if we go and we don't capitalise on that on saturday now, then it doesn't count for anything. it has been a tough couple of years for everyone in this country, so to put smiles back on faces that we know at home, everybody will be celebrating. everyone in the stadium has enjoyed a great moment, a feeling. like i say, it's not done with yet. we've got another big

game on saturday. england now head to rome, where they'll play ukraine in the quarterfinals. they left it very, very late to beat sweden 2—1 in extra time. it was also a dramatic day at wimbledon, as serena williams had to retire injured in herfirst round match. she was devastated. she is chasing a record equalling 24th grand slam title but that wait will now go on. she seemed to slip on the grass early and then couldn't continue after having treatment. she was in tears as she left centre court. afterwards, serena williams posted on social media, saying she was "heartbroken" at having to withdraw, but said the warmth and support from the crowd "meant the world" to her. world number one ash barty is through to the next round though. she beat carla suarez navarro in three sets.

navarro was playing only her second match since recovering from cancer and this will be her last appearance at wimbledon. the crowd gave her a tremendous ovation. the crowd gave her a tremendous ovation. it looked like eight—time champion roger federer was on his way out, but his opponent adriano mannarino then injured his knee. the frenchman had been leading but had to stop after one point of the deciding set. and british number one dan evans is also in the second round. he beat feliciano lopez in straight sets in a match that had been delayed by rain on monday. andy murray, meanwhile, plays his second round match against germany's 0scar 0tte later today. after that notable career comeback from andy murray on monday we had another one yesterday, this time at the tour de france, where mark cavendish won stage four. after years of illness and injury, he never thought he'd race the tour again. he was a late replacement for an injured team mate and this is how much the 31st stage win

of his career meant. england beat sri lanka in their first one—day international at the riverside in durham. chris woakes put in a man—of—the —match performance taking four wickets as sri lanka were limited to 185 from their 50 overs. joe root then excelled with the bat. his unbeaten 79 steered england to a five—wicket win. the second 0d! is tomorrow at the 0val. and after their win, england's cricketers were able to watch england s footballers, and didn t hold back on celebrations either. isn't that brilliant? all wrapped up and then watch the football, just like everybody else yesterday. most people, anyway. and they celebrated that dos— zero when of england over germany last night. —— 2—0. lots of people turning their attention to england's game against ukraine in

rome on saturday, but there has been a warning from the health minister for the latium region, including rome, reminding football fans that those entering from the uk have to respect a five day quarantine upon entry into italy. so even if they went today there wouldn't be out of the quarantine until sunday, so after the game they would be watching the game in their hotel room. local health minister said that the quarantine period for arrivals from the uk has the aim of preventing the further expansion of the delta variant of covid—19 in italy and must be fully respected. we understand that there are plans to try and get tickets to british people who are already in italy and who might want to go to the match robe, but at the moment the health ministerfor the region reminding football fans that if they trying to get from the uk, they have to quarantine for five days upon arrival in italy. so they would actually miss a game, they wouldn't be able to get to the game itself.

eu citizens living in the uk have until midnight to apply to stay, or lose their rights. that's under post—brexit rules introduced by the government. labour says many vulnerable people risk losing access to public services, and the deadline should be extended. our home editor mark easton has this report. if you are an eu citizen living in the uk, you need to apply to the eu settlement scheme... the home office's settled status scheme allows any eu citizen who is living in britain before the end of the brexit transition last december to apply to stay indefinitely. there have already been 5.6 million applications, with 5.2 million europeans having had the residency rights confirmed. but around 400,000 applicants are still waiting for a decision and an estimated 150,000 eligible eu citizens have not yet applied. lawyers are concerned that some vulnerable eu nationals, such as elderly people and children

in care, may not realise the right to residency are about to be revoked and could find themselves unable to access vital support. we have seen what happened with the windrush scandal and we are concerned that a repetition will happen when it comes to europeans and their family members who haven't applied in time and will then face the realities of the hostile environment, losing their right to work, the right to rent in the uk. access to health care. so this could have catastrophic implications on individuals. the home office stresses it will take a pragmatic and flexible approach to late applicants, with officials reaching out to those who are eligible to stay. ministers claim the system offers greater residency to eu citizens than they had before brexit. what we have said is we will take a practical and compassionate approach to those who haven't applied, particularly where there may be vulnerabilities on obvious reasonable grounds, such as children whose parents may not have applied for them. but we have published a range

of guidance that sets out our exact approach and how we will deal with people. and we will urge people to read it. but if you have got any concerns about your position on the 1st ofjuly, then the message is simple, don't delay, apply today. however, opposition politicians are demanding the government extends tonight's deadline for three months to ensure late applicants don't have their rights taken away. we can speak now tojoseph wasiu who has applied for settled status and is waiting to hear back. thanks forjoining us stop you have belgian residency and a nigerian passport and your wife and three children, they have already been granted settled status, but although you applied in february, you are still waiting. so how are you feeling at the moment? are you feeling at the moment? are you feeling nervous that they have settled status and you haven't? yes. settled status and you haven't? yes, i am settled status and you haven't? yes, i am feeling — settled status and you haven't? yes, i am feeling nervous _ settled status and you haven't? ya: i am feeling nervous because these

food on the table. you need to pay your bills on everything. so i don't understand why it is being delayed, i have a late application which it says i can work and which i applied, and i got a job but i wasn't granted thejob because... so that and i got a job but i wasn't granted the job because... so that really makes me on standby, waiting for the job at this moment. fiend makes me on standby, waiting for the job at this moment.— job at this moment. and you and your famil are job at this moment. and you and your family are living _ job at this moment. and you and your family are living in _ job at this moment. and you and your family are living in a _ job at this moment. and you and your family are living in a single _ job at this moment. and you and your family are living in a single room, i family are living in a single room, five of you, in a shared house. employers should be able to employ you if you have applied for settled status, even if the application is pending, but why have employers you approached for work seen that as an issue? because he had been having problems getting a job. that issue? because he had been having problems getting a job.— problems getting a 'ob. that is correct.

you a shout and you can come and start working. so it is really giving me concern that why is it like this? why am i still like this? and even when i try to reach out to the home office by calling, from the very first minute, i time it, at eight on the dot, it will say sorry, we have a lot of people waiting and try again soon. i keep trying and trying. i tried all i could. i don't know the way out any more, so i'm just confused and i don't know what the future holds at this point and i am trying to understand why i might be from working. that am trying to understand why i might be from working.— be from working. that is against the law, the government _ be from working. that is against the law, the government says. - be from working. that is against the law, the government says. i - be from working. that is against the law, the government says. i will i law, the government says. i will read a statement to the viewers so hopefully you can hear this as well, joseph. thanks for talking to us. if you are trying to get a job,

employers shouldn't be discriminating against anyone with a pending application. let's read you out that statement from the home office in full. this thousands of people with disabilities have told the bbc that their condition has deteriorated since the start of the pandemic, with even more reporting that vital medical appointments have been cancelled. more than 3,000 people took part in the survey. 0ur disability news correspondent, nikki fox, has been speaking to just a few of them. i have muscular dystrophy. i have not left the house -

since the 13th of march, 2020. i've developed this fear of the outside world. i i felt like the world was ending. alone. horrible. these are the hidden voices of the pandemic. i was really struggling, to the point where i almost took my life. life was stressful in the house because a lot of the support workers had covid—19. they may have different stories. i got quite depressed and that and it wasn't very good. - but they all feel forgotten. i used to, but no i can't. and how does that make you feel, fraser? very sad. over 2000 people told us their disability got worse during the pandemic. there you go, ringing the bell. jocelyn is very happy, i feisty, naughty, stubborn.

here she is! when lockdown happened, all her support suddenly stopped. her physio, speech and language, occupational therapy, _ respite, children's hospice, it all stopped. _ and jocelyn's world shut down. she started picking her skin and pulling her hair out and she had cuts all over her arms. she gave up, really. things got so bad that she was actually referred to a psychiatrist and she was put on antidepressants and anti—psychotic medication. how did you feel about that? it was horrendous. i never thought a child likejocelyn would suffer from depression like that. jocelyn wasn't just mentally distressed, she was also in physical pain, without access to her regular medical appointments. she was getting hip spasms, so she couldn't put her legs to the floor. she was put on diazepam and codeine for the pain, so all these new medications that she's never had before,

all because of the lockdown and the loss of everything. there was just no support. her experience isn't unique. more than 2500 people have told us that they have missed out on vital appointments since the start of the outbreak. she's got a cinnamon bun, a banana and a satsuma, and it's all blended up, and then itjust goes straight down her feeding tube because she doesn't eat orally. the situation got even more desperate for the family whenjocelyn's dad, lee, caught covid and ended up in intensive care for five weeks. from the get go they were like, i yeah, we need this, we need physio, we need to get you moving again. he is working to get to get back the mobility he has lost, but he has had a lot more support than the family have had forjocelyn during the pandemic. it's almost like she is disabled and that's what she is going to be like so it's not worth bothering with.

whereas lee is going to get better, we hope, and they are giving him the equipment and all the therapy that he needs, and jocelyn isn't going to walk or talk or all those things. so it's almost like theyjust don't bother with her. itjust angers me a bit, because jocelyn is known to the system as well, so they know that she needs these things. i know it it's been a difficult time with covid, but it's still not really an excuse. you really feel like that? yeah. with the right support, jocelyn can thrive. she amazes us every day, really, with what she can do. she does a new thing each day. but as it did for her and so many others, the pandemic took something vital away and now they have to fight to get it back. nearly 100 people got in touch with bbc news directly to share their experiences. let's speak to two of those people who got in touch.

becca torricelli, who has spinal muscular atrophy. thank you so much forjoining us on bbc news. you have spinal muscular atrophy which meet you use an electric wheelchair. tell it about the sort of assistance that you need in your daily life and how that has been affected by the pandemic. i basically need help with everything i do. from picking up a cup of water to getting in and out of bed, i need support with all of it. so i have people working with me 20 47. one of the most difficult things during covid—19 was hired to decide as someone who is extremely vulnerable to whether continue having those carers come into my home. they have different home lives and risks that they brought with them so i needed

to decide whether my health will be compromised or their health, and it was a very difficult decision to make. ~ ., was a very difficult decision to make. . . , ., was a very difficult decision to make. ~ ., ,, . ., make. what did you decide? to ex-lain make. what did you decide? to explain to _ make. what did you decide? to explain to our— make. what did you decide? to explain to our viewers, - make. what did you decide? to explain to our viewers, your i make. what did you decide? to i explain to our viewers, your lungs are very susceptible to infection. so clearly covid—19 presented a huge threat. so clearly covid-19 presented a huge threat. ~ ., ., , so clearly covid-19 presented a huge threat. . . ., , , ., so clearly covid-19 presented a huge threat. . . . , ., threat. what was your decision? i decided that _ threat. what was your decision? i decided that for _ threat. what was your decision? i decided that for the _ threat. what was your decision? i decided that for the first - threat. what was your decision? i decided that for the first six i decided that for the first six months of covid—19 i had two carers, so my bum was doing the majority of my care. it really from a physical point of view, it wasn't safe to have the majority of my care is coming into the home. so for the majority of last year, my mum did a great deal of support which obviously put a big strain on the family and my health because, at the end of the day, i wasn't having all of the support that i am entitled to. �* ,

of the support that i am entitled to. . , , ., ., ., to. and i believe you have two ounter to. and i believe you have two younger siblings, _ to. and i believe you have two younger siblings, so _ to. and i believe you have two younger siblings, so i - to. and i believe you have two younger siblings, so i believe | to. and i believe you have two i younger siblings, so i believe for a time un job am moved to live somewhere else because they back at school and there was at risk of them bringing some infection into the house. so the family were separated for a while. , ., , for a while. yes, me and my mum sta ed in for a while. yes, me and my mum stayed in their— for a while. yes, me and my mum stayed in their family _ for a while. yes, me and my mum stayed in their family room - for a while. yes, me and my mum stayed in their family room and i for a while. yes, me and my mum | stayed in their family room and my sister, brotherand stayed in their family room and my sister, brother and dad moved out and for six months from september to christmas, and then march tojune this year. because it really wasn't safe. my siblings are both indifferent to schools with almost 2000 people each and the likelihood of them bringing infection home was really high and the likelihood of me not surviving that was also high. so it wasn't safe but also, from our family's point of view, we are really close and itjust wasn't feasible for everybody to deal with that worry and that stress. icrfuihcztt feasible for everybody to deal with that worry and that stress. what an awful situation _ that worry and that stress. what an awful situation to _ that worry and that stress. what an awful situation to be _ that worry and that stress. what an awful situation to be put _ that worry and that stress. what an awful situation to be put in. - that worry and that stress. what an awful situation to be put in. as i that worry and that stress. what an awful situation to be put in. as a i awful situation to be put in. as a person with a disability, do you

feel that there was more that could have been done to help you, that other things could have been put in place to help people with the sort of conditions that you have, especially because you are so clinically vulnerable because of your lungs? what are your thoughts i think it is really difficult. i am s-teakin think it is really difficult. i am speaking from _ think it is really difficult. i am speaking from somebody i think it is really difficult. i —n speaking from somebody that i experience all these things because of my disability, but the main worry was knocked having —— not having the physical support. was knocked having —— not having the physicalsupport. it was knocked having —— not having the physical support. it is so simple, if it had been monetary in schools for all pupils to wear masks, my sister might have been able to stay at home? mandatory. but because it wasn't mandatory, nobody was wearing them. other things such as parents, if they had to work with children

who are vulnerable, there was nothing in place for them that meant they could stay—at—home whilst getting paid. so they had to make the decision whether to bring food home for theirfamily or the decision whether to bring food home for their family or keep their children safe and actually worry about financial problems and whether they would be able to sustain that. so i think... i think it was a recognition, so i don't think it was mentioned in any government briefings, telling people to go back into society. we were given extra no advice on what we should do. so we have to do our own research with that little medical knowledge we had and just hope their decision we were making was a right one for us. thank ou so making was a right one for us. thank you so much — making was a right one for us. thank you so much for— making was a right one for us. thank you so much for sharing _ making was a right one for us. thank you so much for sharing your- making was a right one for us. thank you so much for sharing your story i you so much for sharing your story with us. we really appreciate that in wish you well. thank you and

lockdown. but still we did see that bounce back in march time. interesting to set against these other big changes that are happening tomorrow. you mentioned thurlow, but also from the 1st ofjuly changes to the stamp duty holiday, previously that rate under which we didn't have to pay any stamp duty of £500,000, that will be reduced to £250,000. you mentioned big changes to the fellow scheme, the governmentjob retention scheme, whereby the 1st of july the government will only contribute 80% and then employees will have to contribute 10%. the commit will only contribute 70%. let's talk to i would guess. kate, these changes we are seeing to the fellow scheme by the government will contribute 70%, employers will have
