hello, i'm ros atkins. this is outside source. the trump organisation faces charges in a criminal investigation into the former president's business affairs. a top executive, allan weisselberg — handed himself in earlier. the charges — believed to involve the evasion of taxes — are due to be unsealed, any moment. we'll be live in new york to see where the investigation into mr trump's business empire goes next. president biden is in miami, he's visiting the site of the apartment collapse. the president thanked first responders who searched in the rubble — and will meet the families of some of the 145 people still missing. and after more than 1,000 scotland fans caught covid visiting london for the football we'll speak to this

who official about her concerns. are they going into crowded bars and pubs to watch the matches? we have said that should these things, this mixing happen, there will be cases. since leaving office president trump has been the subject of a number of investigations by prosecutors. has been the subject of a number today we saw the first charges laid — not against him or his family but against his business empire — the trump organisation... and its chief financial officer. this is allen weisselberg — the man not wearing the mask — handing himself in at the court in new york earlier. he did that because this investigation — which has been going on for more than a year — has reached this significant stage. allison cusster is from the business school at georgetown university.

you mention it's been going on for a year. this is an indictment today. this mean the charges have merit and somebody could be arrested, which is why allan weisselberg surrendered to authorities in new york today. so today the case took a much more serious turn. the charges are due to be unsealed around now — when we have the exact details we'll bring those to you. we already know they concern whether mr weisselberg evaded tax that should have been paid on expensive perks he received as a trump 0rganisation employee. allison cusster says the us tax authority has clear cut rules. the irs says things like coffee and holiday parties are not taxable compensation. but that is that what we are talking about here. we're talking about things like private school tuition for an employee's grandchild, paying for car leases and playing for employee apartment rentals for employees rentals for employee's children and relatives. so the issue here is these are not business expenses. these are taxable fringe benefits.

the prosecutors�* investigation was helped by this woman, jennifer weisselberg. she's allan weisselberg's estranged former daughter in law. you can see her here pushing a trolley containing several boxes of documents connected to him, which she handed over to investigators, together with a laptop. that was back in april. the trump 0rganisation put out a statement earlier, it described mr weisselberg as "a pawn in a scorched earth attempt to harm the former president" and said of the investigation "this is notjustice. this is politics" it's thought prosecutors tried to try to get mr weisselberg to �*flip�* into co—operating against other targets, potentially even against donald trump. listen to this question a reporter put to him in the street. do you feel pressure from mr trump? i don't have a comment. "do you feel pressure from mr trump" the reporter asks. "i have no comment" he says. but now — prosecutors have

charged mr weisselberg. daniel litman is a former us federal attorney. he was asked earlier if prosecutors were still trying to turn the trump organisation's chief financial officer into an informant. i would say much less. certainly it was the speculation and it was accurate. they were putting the pressure on him and saying, as prosecutors do, "this is what we have against you, we will follow through if you don't cooperate." and he decided not to. so they are bringing what they have on him now. these tax violations that you mentioned. they are nowhere near the magnitude of some of the possible charges that have been swirling about, at least in the rumour mill with respect to trump himself, the organisation, even weisselberg, but they are enough to bring him to court and force him to possibly stand trial on a felony charge and the organisation itself is being alleged to have violated

tax laws knowingly, kind of ripped off the public in that way. again, not the hugest kind of charge, but a starting point and one that sets the table for further work to come from the same grand jury. the grand jury we should add, is still sitting — and will sit until november. so more individuals may yet be charged, in this investigation. as goes the exact charges against mr weisselberg, when we get the details we'll bring those to you. his lawyers have however already released a statement on his behalf saying... "mr. weisselberg intends to plead not guilty. and will fight these charges in court. president biden has visited the site of the building collapse in miami here he is meeting first responders in miami. the number of confirmed dead currently stands at 18. there are 145 people still missing. the apartment building

collapsed one week ago. president biden told the first responderswhat you're doing now president biden told the first responders. he is thought to now be meeting with families of those killed or missing. sophie long has been speaking to some of those relatives. when i saw the video, my heart was ripped from my chest because that is the moment i saw my mum and my grandmother die. so, it was very difficult and that is all i see now when i close my eyes. now pablo tries to hold on to memories of happier times. in the days that have passed since the building where his mother and grandmother lived crashed to the ground, rescue teams have been working around the clock, painstakingly removing rubble, searching for survivors. it is a dangerous and demanding task, both physically and emotionally. we are human beings and we are dealing with human beings beneath the surface.

we know that we look for them and we do the best to get to them, but still the thought that under all of this concrete, all of this steel, there is a person, maybe a little body that is buried there, it is very difficult to fail to understand. the families of those still unaccounted for have been to visit the site and some have told me that seeing the homes they used to visit reduced to rubble with their own eyes is helping them now to start to prepare for the worst. all of them, though, have one question, how long? how long can somebody possibly survive in there? it is a question no—one can answer. but they were able to see what is being done to reach those trapped in the twisted metal and concrete before the hope they cling to fades completely. they were able to understand that there is no longer a specific apartment,

there is no spaces and the crews are working night and day, 2a hours a day, 12 hour shifts, working on top of that pile, doing everything they possibly can to dig deeper into the rubble to try and find anyone that could possibly be there. as the rescue operation continues, people are demanding answers their loved ones will never hear. my mum would have been shouting at the top of her lungs from the rooftop, from anywhere, speaking to anyone that would listen to make sure that those responsible for this are brought to justice and that reform happens so that this never happens again to any otherfamily, because so no—one should have to go through this. this wasn't an earthquake, this wasn't a terrorist attack, this was a building. people went to sleep and then they died. sophie long, bbc news, surfside, miami. but the rescue mission has been hampered by weather conditions. here's sophie long from the scene. (sot)

as of this morning the rescue operation to be halted. because there are fears that the remaining part of the building still standing could also file. there has been so much rainfall, tropical storms, the mound they are working on has been deemed too unsafe for them to continue. that is of course the last thing the families will have wanted to hear. they have been clinging onto the hope that somebody could have been pulled from that building alive, clinging onto the hope that they would detect a sign of life. but now they are acutely aware that has not happened for more than a week and with the rescue operation currently pause, it is increasingly unlikely that there will be good news. lets get a full update on the pandemic. the world health organization has warned of a new coronavirus wave across europe as the delta variant takes hold. and it's clear on what's driving up infections. this the who's hans kluge.

a ten week decline in number of covid—19 cases in the 53 countries in the who european region has come to an end. last week, the number of cases rose by 10%, driven by increased mixing, travel, gatherings, and easing of social restrictions. russia and the uk are among the worst hit. the delta variant is spreading rapidly in both countries. in the past week, russia has recorded 20,400 new daily cases on average — that's up 25% in the past week. while the uk recorded nearly 28,000 new cases today — that's the highest figure since the end of january. both countries are hosting euro 2020 matches, and these pictures aren't being ignored. this was in london on tuesday — when england beat germany. there's not much social distancing — no one is wearing masks. and there's lots of hugging. then this was inside wembley. again — not much social distancing. more hugging.

40,000 fans streamed into the stadium, most of them english. so that was tuesday. on wedneday the uk recorded 26,068 new cases — that was the highest figure since january 29th. let me clear — we're not connecting the events. here's the analysis of dr catherine smallwood at the who. we need to look much beyond the stadia themselves. what we need to look at is around the stadia, how are people getting there are they travelling in large crowded convoys of buses? are they taking individual measures when they are doing that? what is happening after the games when people leave the stadiums? are they going into crowded bars and pubs to watch the matches? and we have said that should these things, this mixing happen, there will be cases. and there is evidence of that. in finland — 300 football fans

returning from the euros in russia contracted covid—i9. we're told many didn't get tested when they arrived. then in scotland 1,991 covid cases have been linked to people watching football matches and two—thirds had travelled to london to watch scotland's game. nearly 400 of them were inside wembley for this match. there is a caveat to point out. bbc health correspondent nick triggle tweets... even so — some are pointing the finger at uefa, european football's governing body. in october it introduced a 30% capacity limit at its matches. by march, it scrapped the limit, and said the decision on crowd size should be up to the "relevant competent local/national authorities". its critics don't accept that. here's germany's interior minister.

translation: i think that uefa's position is utterly irresponsible. i because we are living in a time of a pandemic and especially in such countries as great britain, the dynamic of infections is very strong and we all know that, of course, contact precautions and certain hygiene regulations are indispensable in order to overcome the infection one day. we can assume uefa doesn't agree with that assessment. neither do others, who are directing their anger at the uk government. in the wimbledon tennis event is also being picked out.

some of this was put to borisjohnson. this was his reply. i know people are impatient for us to open up faster and of course i want to do that but what i would say to people is we are now in the final furlong, i really believe. we have to look very carefully at the data and at the moment what we are seeing is a big increase in cases, 26,000 as you will have seen, but that is not translating into a big increase in serious illness and death. so that's the uk. if we look at russia it's hosting around 311,000 fans at its stadium in st petersburg during the quarter final on friday — despite it being one of the main virus hotspots in the country.

a uefa spokesperson told afp that the outbreak "changes absolutely nothing", "there are no plans to change the location of the match." replayed a clip her earlier. dr catherine smallwood is from who europe and joins me from copenhagen. thank you forjoining us. do you think this tournament is increasingly reckless? == think this tournament is increasingly reckless? think this tournament is increasinul reckless? ., increasingly reckless? -- would you sa . i increasingly reckless? -- would you say- i don't — increasingly reckless? -- would you say. i don't know _ increasingly reckless? -- would you say. i don't know if _ increasingly reckless? -- would you say. i don't know if i _ increasingly reckless? -- would you say. i don't know if i will _ increasingly reckless? -- would you say. i don't know if i will put - increasingly reckless? -- would you say. i don't know if i will put it - say. i don't know if i will put it that way. i think there are serious concerns that need to be taken into account and who's position all along, significantly beyond the tournament happening, was that country the local government health authorities need to be looking at the risk very carefully on a continuous basis. the cases were going up before the games. they are still going up. it is time to think about what measures need to be put in place to continue to lower the level of risk associated with them. but as i understood it but with the vaccine by law, the focus will shift away from case numbers and onto

hospitalisations. and the data in the uk on that front is reasonably reassuring, isn't it? that the uk on that front is reasonably reassuring, isn't it?— reassuring, isn't it? that is right. but in particular _ reassuring, isn't it? that is right. but in particular age _ reassuring, isn't it? that is right. but in particular age groups - reassuring, isn't it? that is right. but in particular age groups are l but in particular age groups are still many people who are main not fully vaccinated. we are sending a variant that is much more transmissible, there is evidence of it being leading to more severe disease in a population that are not vaccinated. there are still potential from a hospitalisations and deaths to the extent as in other countries come in the uk where there is quite high coverage of vaccine, but i'm work concerned about the region in the world as a whole. can i ask ou region in the world as a whole. can i ask you then _ region in the world as a whole. can i ask you then what you would like to happen with regards to the football from now on? notjust with regards to the stadiums but as she said in the earlier clip with regards to how people are generally consume the matches? so regards to how people are generally consume the matches?— consume the matches? so local authorities _ consume the matches? so local authorities and _ consume the matches? so local authorities and public— consume the matches? so local authorities and public health . authorities and public health authorities and public health authorities need to remove any opportunity for the virus is spread as much as possible. and that means

not putting in place conditions where people end up being crowded together and particularly in confined settings, being careful about people going to pubs, especially if they have not been vaccinated. and being careful about how people travel to the host being used, we have seen a lot of evidence of people travelling in crowded buses and that is perfect environment for the virus is spread. if you don't mind me saying, you're being very diplomatic but what you are advising is clearly not happening in any of the host country for the tournament. what are your emotions we see large groups of men singing, cheering, hugging, dancing in the pub or of the street or stadiums?— in the pub or of the street or stadiums? , . ., , stadiums? these are really high visibility events _ stadiums? these are really high visibility events in _ stadiums? these are really high visibility events in the _ stadiums? these are really high visibility events in the camera . stadiums? these are really high visibility events in the camera is on the uefa football tournament at the moment. but in fact the spread and the resurgence that we are seeing in several countries isn't being driven by those particular events. they are being driven by

many, many, many of that are not captured on camera. and the message that we've had over the past few weeks and we continue to convey is that we all need to be careful whether we are gathering a small groups or large groups, but especially when it comes to large mass gatherings we know that they can amplify and accelerate transmission where it is already increasing. i’m transmission where it is already increasing-— transmission where it is already increasinu. �* , , increasing. i'm sure there will be some peeple _ increasing. i'm sure there will be some people listening _ increasing. i'm sure there will be some people listening thinking i increasing. i'm sure there will be i some people listening thinking hold on, that the vaccine was going to change the dynamic here and get here we have many millions of people across europe already vaccinated and yet the advice from the who is that incredibly cautious. when can we expect that caution to go in our lives to be reasonably free of these types of advice?— types of advice? actually less than a uuarter types of advice? actually less than a quarter of _ types of advice? actually less than a quarter of adults _ types of advice? actually less than a quarter of adults across - types of advice? actually less than a quarter of adults across the - a quarter of adults across the european region have had two full doses or completed their vaccinations for covid—19. so there's a long way to go before a large proportion of adults are probably protected. at the moment, the main objective of our vaccination campaign and that is

just as true in the uk as it is in other places is to reduce the number of people getting hospitalised and dying due to covid—19. and we measure that by looking at the number of lives that we are saving in the deaths that have been adverted. in the deaths that have been adverted-_ in the deaths that have been adverted. ., ., ~ ., in the deaths that have been adverted. ., ., ., adverted. doctor thank you for your time. do please _ adverted. doctor thank you for your time. do please come _ adverted. doctor thank you for your time. do please come back - adverted. doctor thank you for your time. do please come back on - adverted. doctor thank you for your time. do please come back on the l time. do please come back on the programme we appreciate your input into the story. an update on the story. the italian apartment for security has issued a statement in agreement with the way for that since they gently decided to adopt some extra measures to contain the risk of covid—19 contagion around the quarterfinal which is taking place in rome on saturday. this is the quarterfinal between ukraine and england. —— department of security. staying in europe, and the eu has begun rolling out its vaccine passport, which will allow people to move around the continent without having to quarantine. the digital certificate will show whether someone has been vaccinated, tested negative for covid, or recovered from it recently. bethany bell reports.

travel during the pandemic has been complicated. you've needed entry forms, test and vaccination certificates, often issued in a variety of different languages which airline staff and border control officials haven't always been able to understand. but now the eu has issued a new digital covid certificate which aims to streamline things. you can print out the document or download it on your phone. here is a sample one from austria. it tells you whether you have recovered, been tested, or vaccinated for covid. the certificates are issued by national authorities in europe and they are currently recognised throughout the eu. the travel industry is hoping that eventually other countries will be included too. we appreciate to have the green pass at least within europe which makes our travelling much easier between european countries, especially in holiday season, and we would appreciate

if we would have such a system also for third—party countries outside of non—schengen, especially when it comes to long haul destinations. foreign tourists are beginning to return to this vienna cafe. but every european country currently has its own rules on granting entry to travellers. the eu says countries like britain are working with them to try and align covid documents. but with concerns about the delta variant rising, free travel for non—eu tourists could be some way away. bethany bell, bbc news, vienna. ajudge has ruled against britney spears' petition to remove her father from her conservatorship. this was in response to a request made first in november. in that petition her lawyers said she was �*afraid' of her father. they wanted him removed as conservator and replaced

with a wealth management firm. the conservatorship has been in place since 2008. when the singer had a breakdown amidst mental health problems, intense public scrutiny and a divorce herfather was appointed as conservator, in control of both her personal wellbeing and her finances. but in 2019 he handed over control of britney's personal and medical care. since then jamie spears has had control of britney spears's finances. here's sinead garvan on what today's ruling means. this is about a request back in november two stopjamie spears being her conservator. he is a co—conservator with a lady called jamie montgomery issue a wanted brittany, britney when her dad to not be part of it, but what the judge who has agreed to is that he will stay as her conservator but with also the help with this wealth management fund, the, so they are now co—conservators was that what she has to do now is if she wants to

completely get rid of her dad of this is that she has to actually file for extermination of the contract without which is something she actually said in her testimony she actually said in her testimony she didn't know she was a lot to do that. she never knew she would be able to say she doesn't want to be under this conservatorship and obviously that cannot go ahead. let's look closer at that testimony from last week. britney spears spoke for over 20 minutes. she called the conservatorship �*abusive' she alleged that she had been drugged. forced to perform against her will. and prevented from having any more children. on wednesday, jamie spears asked the court for an investigation into those claims. in those papers, the person in control of britney's personal affairs was blamed. she's called jodi montgomery. she denies those allegations. but in her testimony britney spears said, "my dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship. they should be injail."

for now the conservatorship remains in place. here is our arts correspondent rebecca jones on the next steps. thejudges have the judges have ruled thejudges have ruled that the judges have ruled that they cannot in that until she formally applies forward to be removed, and she hasn't done that yet. and it will not be easy. her father was effectively put in control of her estate in 2008 after she suffered mental health difficulties and she will have to prove that she is capable of not only managing her money but her private life as well, and it is also worth saying that lawyers for her father have denied that he is responsible for any apparent restrictions on his daughter's life. and it's extremely unpopular both amongst her fans and her family. after her testimony last week, britney's sister, jamie lynn, posted "i'm so proud of her for using her voice,

if ending the conservatorship or whatever the hell else she wants to do to be happy — i support that." and herformer boyfriend the performerjustin timberlake wrote in a statement... and then there's this, the free britney army. they have been organising protests at hearings over britney's conservatorship and are organising another for the next hearing in the case which is on the 14thjuly. let me quickly show you pictures coming in to us from inside the courthouse in new york, where we are expected to get details in fact we are getting details of the fact that are getting details of the fact that a senior trump organisation executive has been charged with grand larceny in the second degree. we are just getting that and we will come back to in the next half hour and unpack what that means. see you

in a minute. hello again. the weather's been dry for most of us today with some spells of sunshine coming through during the afternoon. probably the best of the sunshine today was in scotland, but across parts of southwest england, it was also glorious for a time. however, elsewhere, we've seen a few showers pop up. not many, but if you were under one of these bigger clouds, i'm sure those showers would've been quite heavy, particularly across parts of hampshire and sussex as well. so, there are the shower clouds on the satellite picture, butjust zooming a little bit further west. you don't have to go too far west to find some thicker cloud. this is an area of low pressure that's going to be moving our way in time for the weekend, flicking bands of rain across the country. now, before we get there, overnight tonight, it's looking like a dry night for most areas with just a few mist and fog patches forming. there'll be some thicker

cloud developing as well. temperatures mild, 12—14 degrees quite widely. little cooler for north east england and northern scotland — temperatures down to about eight here. any mist patches should clear pretty quickly tomorrow morning and the cloud will thin and break, and again, most of us will have spells of sunshine and dry weather through the afternoon. however, they are going to be showers around. they'll be a little bit more widespread and will tend to focus across eastern parts of england through the afternoon with one or two thunderstorms. but aside from those showers, it will feel a bit warmer, temperatures widely between 20—23 degrees celsius. the weekend, though, takes a turn for the worse. it turns increasingly unsettled with some heavy bands of rain and widespread showers, too. here's saturday's forecast. this first band of rain pushes northwards across to england and wales, reaching scotland and northern ireland later in the day. it'll be followed by showers. now, for the most part, those showers will move through, but across the southwest england, with these convergent winds, that will tend to lock the showers in place across parts of southwest england, so those showers and thunderstorms could be quite

long—lasting and may well bring some localised surface water flooding. so, we'll have to keep a close eye on those shower bands here. temperatures a little bit down on recent days — 20—21 celsius the top temperatures, and on sunday, it stays pretty unsettled. widespread showers, a few of them turning thundery in nature. one of those days where most places will see a downpour or two. at the same time, it won't be raining all the time. there will be some dry slots and a bit of sunshine. temperatures about 21 degrees at the highest. that's the latest weather.

hello, i'm ros atkins. this is outside source. straight to new york, because the trump organisation has been charged with a criminal investigation in the the former president's business affairs. he's just been charged with larceny and a scheme to defraud over allegedly evading tasks. we will see where the investigation may go the next. a town in canada has set record this week after being hit by wildfires. 90% of british columbia has been burned as copulation has been evacuated. after more than 1000 scotland fans

visiting london a couple weeks back, the who is expressing concerns. are they going into crowded bars to watch the match is? we said that should these things, this mixing happened, there will be cases. the town in canada that recorded the country's highest—ever temperature this week has now been engulfed by a wildfire. these are the latest images of lytton in british columbia. bleep the mayor has said the whole town is on fire, and he's told the population of around 250 to leave. lytton recorded a temperature of 49.6 celsius on tuesday. a record for canada. kareem gouda is a reporterfor news

1130 radio in vancouver. the entire town was evacuated with very short notice. we had reports of people walking on the side of the road on the highway nearby, and people are being told, jump in the car, let's go. it was so sudden that people didn't have time to go back and pack their things. basically, a quote from the mayor saying a miracle if everyone made it out alive. we're still waiting to see what the devastation is it, but so far it seems like it's not looking good for the town of lytton, which is about 200 km northeast of vancouver. the temperatures were nearly 50. it's completely unprecedented. we haven't seen temperatures like this ever. these temperatures like this ever. these temperatures recorded in canada have broken three days of records and most of the world has never seen these temperatures. parts of the states, las vegas, neverthis these temperatures. parts of the states, las vegas, never this high. it was the worst thing to see that what was expected to happen is the wildfires could become worse this season, and we're seeing it now with

the town almost completely destroyed in the matter of hours. luckily, we have a lot of people surrounding the highways offering support and trying to get as many people out of there because so many people don't have anywhere to go. it's still hard for people to fathom this, and ijust can't imagine this. we're talking to so many people who have lost homes already, who have lost animals, and it's a lot of rural area so we expect life spot desk to be superhigh as well —— livestock deaths. it's incredibly awful. the heatwave has hit western canada and across the border in the us, where there are fears california could soon see wildfires, too. hundreds of deaths have been linked to the soaring temperatures across the affected areas. scientists are still trying to determine to what extent climate change may have aggravated the heatwave, although there's increasing confidence of a clear link. here's our science correspondent david shukman. two talking to climate scientists is

really striking how their confidence about _ really striking how their confidence about their analysis has changed. for years. — about their analysis has changed. foryears, on about their analysis has changed. for years, on your programme, i probably— for years, on your programme, i probably said if there is a particular weather event and i can never_ particular weather event and i can never link— particular weather event and i can never link it — particular weather event and i can never link it directly to climate change — never link it directly to climate change. well, that's not changing. the combination of the global average — the combination of the global average temperature continuing to rise and _ average temperature continuing to rise and the fact that the computer modelling — rise and the fact that the computer modelling and how the weather patterns — modelling and how the weather patterns work has become so much more _ patterns work has become so much more sophisticated means scientists are now— more sophisticated means scientists are now saying that they can't really — are now saying that they can't really imagine this current heat wave _ really imagine this current heat wave being plausible, possible, without— wave being plausible, possible, without the presence of the greenhouse gases and human activity added _ greenhouse gases and human activity added to— greenhouse gases and human activity added to the atmosphere. they're saving _ added to the atmosphere. they're saying basically, what we've done to the climate, to the atmosphere by tturning _ the climate, to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, releasing carbou— burning fossil fuels, releasing carbon dioxide, basically makes events— carbon dioxide, basically makes events of— carbon dioxide, basically makes events of this kind ofjust more and more _ events of this kind ofjust more and more iikeiv —

investigation. you're hoping this is the beginning. thejury sets into november. but to be clear, it is also entirely possible that this is it. there is a big uphill battle for prosecutors to try and turn someone who has worked for the trump administration for almost 50 years. he it is referred to as a loyal trump soldier, so that will be a really tough flip.— trump soldier, so that will be a really tough flip. thank you very much indeed. _ really tough flip. thank you very much indeed. some _ really tough flip. thank you very much indeed. some more - really tough flip. thank you very | much indeed. some more details emerging all the time. of course, we'll bring it to you. in a few minutes, we will look in depth at the point australia has reached with the point australia has reached with the pandemic. prince william and harry have

unveiled a statue of their mother on what would have been her 60th birthday. the brothers met for the first time since the duke of edinburgh's funeral. the event should've been solely about their mother — the unveiling by her sons of a statue of diana, princess of wales. but the sons, william and harry, have fallen out. the special bond between two young princes has been broken. harsh words are said to have been spoken. william and harry, side by side for some of the time, but more often than not they stood apart, until the moment of the statue's unveiling. the statue shows diana with anonymous children. it is intended, in the words of kensington palace, to reflect her warmth, elegance and energy. william and harry stood together to look at the statue and exchanged their impressions. the brothers went on together to inspect the gardens. there had been talk of them both making speeches. instead, there was a joint statement in which they said

they remembered their mother's love and strength. "everyday," they added, "we wish she was still with us." "every day," they added, "we wish she was still with us." perhaps then her sons will wonder what she would've made of the current tensions. perhaps today will help them to reflect. that is the hope of the sculptor. the fact that their mother is there, you know, in a real physical sense, perhaps in the evening when the grounds are shut, they could easily come here for a moment of quiet reflection, and i hope that will give them some sort of comfort or solace. today's events will have been an important, shared moment for william and harry in which they will surely have felt their mother's influence. and perhaps it will have encouraged them to move on.

every week, we produce a look at one of the week's main stories. it's on iplayer and the bbc website. this week, we've looked at australia, a country which has a lot of attention for its approach to covid. the story of australia and the pandemic can be told in two parts. the first was by most measures of success. the mood is changing now. ads, most measures of success. the mood is changing nova— is changing now. a few days ago, i said this was _ is changing now. a few days ago, i said this was the _ is changing now. a few days ago, i said this was the scariest - is changing now. a few days ago, i said this was the scariest time - said this was the scariest time we've had. said this was the scariest time we've had-— said this was the scariest time we've had. , , . , , ., , we've had. these pictures show cindy under lockdown. _ we've had. these pictures show cindy under lockdown. half— we've had. these pictures show cindy under lockdown. half the _ we've had. these pictures show cindy under lockdown. half the population l under lockdown. half the population is now under new restrictions. —— sydney under lockdown. are they ready to move from close to zero covid to living with covid? that would be a huge practical shift. in time, it would mean easing the

travel ban. it would mean letting the virus and. australians don't agree on how, when, or even if to do this. because of that, some argue the virus is asking something more fundamental about what kind of country australia wants to be. let's go back to the start. when scott morrison took axon.— go back to the start. when scott morrison took axon. tonight, we will be resolving — morrison took axon. tonight, we will be resolving to _ morrison took axon. tonight, we will be resolving to move _ morrison took axon. tonight, we will be resolving to move to _ morrison took axon. tonight, we will be resolving to move to a _ morrison took axon. tonight, we will be resolving to move to a position i be resolving to move to a position where _ be resolving to move to a position where a _ be resolving to move to a position where a travel ban will be placed on all nonresidents coming to australia.— all nonresidents coming to australia. ., ., ~ , ., australia. from that, australia's strate: australia. from that, australia's strategy group- _ australia. from that, australia's strategy group. i'd _ australia. from that, australia's strategy group. i'd summarise i australia. from that, australia's strategy group. i'd summarise it with three points. that strategy is ongoing. international restrictions remain in place. quarantine hotels have been operating for over a year and there have been strict responses to any outbreak, such as melbourne's 100

have been strict responses to any outbreak, such as melbourne's100 a lockdown. looking at the data, the strategy has worked. australia has far fewer cases than the uk and far fewer deaths too. there has been a cost to the strategy. foreign tourism and foreign students normally bring in millions of dollars. that's gone. there's also the human cost for australians who can't get home. in early may, australians in india were told they would be jailed, leaving them stranded. those who can travel back always have the quarantine. scott morrison did so when he returned from the g7. for some others, the consequences have been devastating. this is james. because he was inchoate teen, he could not see his mother before she died —— in quarantine. i mother before she died -- in quarantine-— mother before she died -- in quarantine. i could “ump on a «much quarantine. i could “ump on a domestic flight. i i quarantine. i could jump on a domestic flight. i would i quarantine. i could jump on a| domestic flight. i would spend quarantine. i could jump on a i domestic flight. i would spend some time with— domestic flight. i would spend some time with my— domestic flight. i would spend some time with my mum. _ domestic flight. i would spend some time with my mum. i— domestic flight. i would spend some time with my mum. i would -

success. this is a senior official in victoria in april saying... the second factor is surprising. they have approved the vaccine, but it's only severe... that's an issue because of the third factor, australians approving reluctant to get the astrazeneca jab. here's my colleague, shaimaa khalil. the government invested in astrazeneca, but certain groups were advised to avoid it because of blood clotting, and that advice has shifted. that's what the headlines like these.

these doubts matter more because of australians experiencing the pandemic. t australians experiencing the pandemic-— australians experiencing the andemic. ~ ~ pandemic. i think when the link, we see blood clotting _ pandemic. i think when the link, we see blood clotting disorders, i pandemic. i think when the link, we see blood clotting disorders, was i see blood clotting disorders, was found, it was rather hard to get confidence in taking up the vaccines amongst australian because of course they weren't being infected with the virus. seeing patients in icu or... the government has now committed to an major education campaign, but not everyone is convinced.— everyone is convinced. people have. . . everyone is convinced. people have- -- they _ everyone is convinced. people have... they don't _ everyone is convinced. people have... they don't want i everyone is convinced. people have... they don't want the i have... they don't want the astrazeneca, they will hold on to -et astrazeneca, they will hold on to get the _ astrazeneca, they will hold on to get the pfizer. sis astrazeneca, they will hold on to get the pfizer-— get the pfizer. as well as vaccine su- -l get the pfizer. as well as vaccine supply and _ get the pfizer. as well as vaccine supply and take _ get the pfizer. as well as vaccine supply and take up, _ get the pfizer. as well as vaccine supply and take up, there's i supply and take up, there's something else here. something that goes beyond the vaccine roll—out. it's to do with the message australians have heard from the start. here the sydney morning

vaccines. here is fergus walsh. although cases have risen sharply to around _ although cases have risen sharply to around 15,000 per day, hospital admissions have not followed that same _ admissions have not followed that same upward trend, rising tojust over— same upward trend, rising tojust over 200 — same upward trend, rising tojust over 200 patients a day. in same upward trend, rising to “ust over 200 patients a day.i over 200 patients a day. in the short term. — over 200 patients a day. in the short term, it's _ over 200 patients a day. in the short term, it's still— over 200 patients a day. in the short term, it's still seeming i over 200 patients a day. in the | short term, it's still seeming to over 200 patients a day. in the i short term, it's still seeming to be about keeping covid out. we've seen polls for an even stricter on international arrivals. the message from some is that australia cannot go on like this. the prime minister would i'm sure reject this language. for him, this is simply about managing the threats.

of course there's more than one way to manage this virus, and some say this is actually about something more. one leading demographer argues covid has made australia protectionists.— covid has made australia rotectionists. ., , ., protectionists. you can't separate our society. _ protectionists. you can't separate our society. so — protectionists. you can't separate our society, so culture _ protectionists. you can't separate our society, so culture and i protectionists. you can't separate i our society, so culture and economy for the _ our society, so culture and economy for the rest — our society, so culture and economy for the rest the world, yet here we are poisoning ourselves off from the world _ are poisoning ourselves off from the world -- _ are poisoning ourselves off from the world —— closing. the majority of australians — world —— closing. the majority of australians are content to remain in a fortress— australians are content to remain in a fortress australia or a foreign nation — a fortress australia or a foreign nation the _ a fortress australia or a foreign nation. the modern character is going _ nation. the modern character is going to — nation. the modern character is going to come under challenge from covid-19 _ going to come under challenge from covid—19 and our response to it. scott _ covid—19 and our response to it. scott morrison see this differently. managing this pandemic is an off closing about the world, but about protecting australians' health and maintaining their lifestyle. what happens next will tell us something about australia, about what matters most to it, about the risks it's willing to take, about whether it's willing to take, about whether it's willing to take, about whether it's

willing to live with covid in return for reconnecting with the world. you can find more analysis from me and the team elsewhere on the bbc and. today, china has celebrated the "new world" created by 100 years of communist party rule in a massive ceremony in beijing. 70,000 people sang "socialism is great" in tiananmen square. it's part of a song called "without the communist party there would be no new china". xijinping, who has ruled the chinese communist party since 2012, appeared wearing a light grey suit, and his tone has become increasingly belligerent towards foreign powers, who are critical of china over its human rights abuses —

translation: the chinese people will never allow i any foreign force to bully, oppress or subjugate us. anyone who dares try to do that will have their heads battered in front of the great wall of steel, forged from the flesh and blood of over 1.4 billion chinese people. today also marks 24 years since hong kong was handed over from the british to china under the promise of autonomy, a promise that president xi reiterated today. translation: we will fully and precisely i implement the principles of one country, two systems — hong kong people administering hong kong autonomy. but as he said that in beijing, over in hong kong, the 65—year—old activist known as �*grandma wong' was being taken away by police as she staged a lone demonstration. she is known for waving a large unionjack during the pro—democracy protests in 2019, and was marching again today against the party's tightening grip on hong kong. here's our hong kong correspondent danny vincent. in hong kong today, there's a large police _ in hong kong today, there's a large police presence on the streets. the police _ police presence on the streets. the police say _ police presence on the streets. the police say they've deployed 10,000

as independent, was quick to respond, saying... it's now one of the the biggest cities in the world with more than 26 million people, something president xi was quick to note. translation: we have realised the first goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects across china and eliminating absolute poverty in and eliminating absolute poverty in a historic move. and we are not striving towards the second centenary goal of building a socialist, modern and powerful country. our asia pacific editor celia hatton lived in china for 15 years, and has just completed a documentary about the communist party. let's hear from her. there's a key thing i think about. in there's a key thing i think about. in 1949. — there's a key thing i think about. in 1949, when the party came to power. — in 1949, when the party came to power, china's life expectancy was 36. power, china's life expectancy was 36 it— power, china's life expectancy was

representatives he will plead not guilty. thanks for watching. hello again. the weather's been dry for most of us today with some spells of sunshine coming through during the afternoon. probably the best of the sunshine today was in scotland, but across parts of southwest england, it was also glorious for a time. however, elsewhere, we've seen a few showers pop up. not many, but if you were under one of these bigger clouds, i'm sure those showers would've been quite heavy, particularly across parts of hampshire and sussex as well. so, there are the shower clouds on the satellite picture, butjust zooming a little bit further west. you don't have to go too far west to find some thicker cloud. this is an area of low pressure that's going to be moving our way in time for the weekend, flicking bands of rain across the country. now, before we get there, overnight tonight, it's looking like a dry night for most areas with just a few mist and fog patches forming. there'll be some thicker cloud developing as well. temperatures mild, 12—14

degrees quite widely. little cooler for north east england and northern scotland — temperatures down to about eight here. any mist patches should clear pretty quickly tomorrow morning and the cloud will thin and break, and again, most of us will have spells of sunshine and dry weather through the afternoon. however, they are going to be showers around. they'll be a little bit more widespread and will tend to focus across eastern parts of england through the afternoon with one or two thunderstorms. but aside from those showers, it will feel a bit warmer, temperatures widely between 20—23 degrees celsius. the weekend, though, takes a turn for the worse. it turns increasingly unsettled with some heavy bands of rain and widespread showers, too. here's saturday's forecast. this first band of rain pushes northwards across to england and wales, reaching scotland and northern ireland later in the day. it'll be followed by showers. now, for the most part, those showers will move through, but across the southwest england, with these convergent winds, that will tend to lock the showers in place across parts of southwest england, so those showers and thunderstorms could be quite long—lasting and may well bring some

localised surface water flooding. so, we'll have to keep a close eye on those shower bands here. temperatures a little bit down on recent days — 20—21 celsius the top temperatures, and on sunday, it stays pretty unsettled. widespread showers, a few of them turning thundery in nature. one of those days where most places will see a downpour or two. at the same time, it won't be raining all the time. there will be some dry slots and a bit of sunshine. temperatures about 21 degrees at the highest. that's the latest weather.
