welcome to bbc news — i'm lewis vaughanjones. we're going to go to the us now. officials in florida are bringing forward plans to demolish the remains of an apartment building that collapsed just over a week ago. they're worried an approaching storm could destabilise what remains of the block. 2a people are known to have died with more than 120 still unaccounted for. our north america correspondent david willis has the latest. for those leading the painstaking recovery effort, it's now a race against time.

a tropical storm is bearing down on miami, packing winds of up to 70 mph. officials fear tropical storm elsa could send what remains of the apartment complex toppling on to those on the ground. so they're now looking to demolish it before elsa makes landfall. this will protect our search and rescue teams because we don't know when it could fall over and, of course, with these gusts, potentially, that would create a really severe hazard. that means boring into the structure of the building in order to install explosives — a precarious proposition given how unstable it has become. once complete, however, the effort will give officials their first access to the garage area, which has been the focus of the search so far. meanwhile, residents of another miami apartment building have been evacuated after engineers came across concrete and electrical problems.

their building isjust seven miles from the one that collapsed. there, two more bodies were discovered overnight, bringing the total confirmed dead to 24. david willis, bbc news, washington. the storm forecast ahead is already expected to cause damage to haiti and the dominican republic before heading north to the us. people in haiti are being told to leave their homes and officials there say the whole country is threatened by the storm. it already has sustained gusts of over 130 kilometres an hour. haiti is particularly vulnerable to flooding and landslides because of heavy deforestation. the us national hurricane center says elsa could bring tidal surges of up to two metres above normal levels. tens of thousands of people in cities across brazil have been protesting against the government of president jair bolsonaro, calling for his resignation over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. the demonstrations were triggered by recent allegations

of corruption involving the purchase of vaccines by the health ministry. mr bolsonaro denies any wrongdoing. here's thais carranca, from bbc brazil. she told us what the atmosphere was like at the protests: i am just back from the protest here in sao paulo, itjust started about two hours ago, so still picking up. yeah, it's very vibrant and very full of people, the audience is quite different from the pro—bolsonaro protests that we have seen recently, which are mostly middle aged and elderly people, now we have quite a young audience that is joining this protest. yeah, people are very fuelled by the recent denounces

of corruption in the politicians, of the dangerous vaccines, so the protest are very full today because of the corruption scandal that has been picking up steam this week. let's get some of the day's other news. indonesia has imposed a partial lockdown in the capitaljakarta, across the main island ofjava and on bali as it deals with an unprecedented wave of coronavirus infections. mosques, restaurants and shopping malls were closed in virus hot spots. on friday it recorded 25,000 new cases alone with 80% of them being the delta variant. the former president of south africa, jacob zuma, has for now avoided going to jail after the constitutional court agreed to hear his appeal against a 15 month sentence. mr zuma was due to hand himself in by sunday or face arrest for failing to appear before a corruption inquiry.

cyprus has appealed for help from the european union and israel to tackle a huge wildfire, which one official described as the worst in the country's history. the blaze is spreading through an area north of the cities of limassol and larnaca and has forced the evacuation of several villages. dozens of properties have been damaged but no casualties have been reported. this is bbc news. we pause to say goodbye to viewers around the world. the semifinal line—up at euro 2020 is now complete. an impressive england side thrashed ukraine 4—0 in rome to grab their place in semis. denmark will face england at wembley after beating the czech republic 2—1. mark lobel reports. i cannot escape and i cannot forget. i cannot escape and i cannot foruet. ., ., ., ,

regulations we've got so used to. one even suggested masks might become optional after july 19. might become optional after july19. but might become optional after july 19. but today, might become optional after july19. but today, doctors warned that would not be wise, with infections rising.— with infections rising. don't . ive with infections rising. don't give people _ with infections rising. don't give people false _ with infections rising. don't. give people false assurances with infections rising. don't - give people false assurances or hopes that life will be back to normal. do the responsible thing which is to continue to have targeted measures to stop the spread of this infection or prevent the spread of infection with a parallel vaccination programme so we can get to a point in the not—too—distant future where we are keeping those infection rates down. this comes as ministers debate allowing fully vaccinated people to avoid isolation if they come into contact with an infectious person, and instead do daily testing. downing street says it is under active consideration and some doctors think it might work, but only if people are disciplined. although the lateral flow test, the racket test that you do

while italy will take on spain in the other semifinal. in miami, an approaching storm accelerates plans to demolish the rest of the apartment block where 2a people died and more than a 120 are missing. president biden says the us isn't certain who is behind a ransomware cyber attack which has hit 200 american businesses and one of sweden's biggest supermarket chains. he said "the initial thinking was it was not the russian government but we're not sure yet,". co—op sweden says it's had to close around 500 of its stores temporarily after checkouts began crashing on friday evening. cybersecurity firm huntress labs said the hack first targeted a florida—based it company before spreading through corporate networks that use its software. it's now urging customers who use its data visualisation tool to immediately shut down their servers. well, earlier i spoke to bryan cunningham, who's executive director of the cyber security policy & research institute at university college irvine.

i asked him who he thought was behind this most recent ransomware attack. it seems fairly clear that the attack methodology is consistent with the so—called revil software attack group, which is based in russia and eastern europe. i think what president biden was doing was being appropriately cautious, because at the beginning of any of these events you don't know for sure. but it's very difficult for me to believe that an attack of this magnitude could be launched by a russia or eastern europe—based criminal group without the russian government at least knowing about it and acquiescing, if not being actually behind it. ok, well, let's take that as a working hypothesis. obviously we don't know for certain, but if that is true, what do you think the response of the biden administration should be? well, i think the president has appropriately warned

president putin that if this kind of behaviour continues, either with or without his consent but originating from russian territory, the united states will respond. and i think if it's proven that this was coming from russia, we will have to respond. ok, what do you mean by "respond"? whether that means only going after the actual attacking group as we did with the last ransomware attack, where we recovered a lot of the ransom money paid and possibly crippled some of their operations, or we actually go further and demonstrate to the russian government that we have the capability to attack their critical infrastructure if we decide to do so, i'm not sure. my guess is we would respond incrementally, working our way up to more serious responses. so maybe the next one would be seizing all of the ransom moneys back and putting this group out of business, and then if it happens again, attacking actual russian infrastructure. so in attacking actual russian infrastructure, are you advocating effectively a kind of more open, more public tit—for—tat? isn't there a risk

there of escalation? a very serious risk. i have been working in this area for over 20 years, including two us administrations, and you always have to calculate not only the actual risk that when you strike at something, whether it's a power grid or a financial institution, you'll miss your target and/or cause collateral damage by hitting other targets than the ones you meant, and/or the risk that your adversary will miscalculate your intention and then escalate further than you're ready for. so, yes, it is definitely risky, but i think it's gone beyond time to just warn putin. i think we do have to at least show him that we can put some of his critical infrastructure and his finances at risk, even if we don't actually attack them.

graeme cunningham there. people in the uk could be facing the prospect of empty supermarket shelves and price hikes — because of a shortage of lorry drivers. that's the warning from uk industry bosses, who say more than 60,000 workers are needed to keep goods moving. our business correspondent, dave harvey, reports. it's food on the shelves, it's drinks on the shelves, and it's builders merchants being full. that's really what it is. if we're not delivering product, the shops won't be full, and that will have a massive impact on the uk. in many ways, trucks like these are meant to be the lifeblood of our economy. they keep everything moving. right now, they're parked up and going nowhere. not that there's a shortage of companies with stuff to move, or indeed, at 150 grand for a cab and a trailer, any shortage of trucks themselves. they just can't find enough drivers. one in ten of this somerset firm's lorries are parked up at the moment, costing thousands every day.

the industry calculates britain is short of 60,000 lorry drivers. 15,000 are european drivers who left the country in the last year. through the pandemic, a lot of drivers wanted to go home to be closer to their families, and they really, since the effects of brexit, they haven't wanted to come back. they can earn just as much in places like germany or france, there's no real need to be in the uk. on top of that, during the pandemic, many new drivers couldn't take their hgv licence test. 30,000 tests were delayed last year. at this family—owned haulage firm near bristol, the boss is out when i arrive, back behind the wheel. and if it wasn't for me doing the interview today i'd be driving myself, because it has become the case, mainly, we're both driving weekly. competition for drivers is fierce, supermarkets paying double rates to keep their trucks moving. and small firms like this have had to put their wages up, too. as of 1st ofjune this year,

we had to give our drivers, across the board, about a 25% pay increase, which if you think about it, that's a lot of money. we are retaining our drivers and bringing new employees to the company, but we had to make a decision now that we've had to pass that cost, or certainly the drivers' wages element, to our customers, to be able to carry this forward. in time, this will all put up prices in our shops. they want government to fund new apprenticeships and training schemes, and ministers insist they are working on that. but it takes several years to learn to drive a big wagon, and britain needs tens of thousands more drivers right now. dave harvey, bbc news. now, the resort island of phuket in thailand is welcoming back international tourists for the first time in 15 months. before the pandemic hit, phuket was the second biggest tourist destination in the country, generating over $14 billion in revenue in 2019. now the thai government hopes to see the economy

in the region pick up again, as it allows fully vaccinated international tourists from low risk countries to travel to the island without the need for a quarantine. anthony lark is the president of the phuket hotels association. he told me how the system is going to work. the system is quite simple. if people who have been vaccinated from those countries that are low—risk or medium—risk are interested to come to phuket for a holiday and not quarantine, they apply to the thai embassy of the country of their residency and they get issued certain documents, and they need to obviously be vaccinated. it's actually more simple than it may seem. it's a very careful and strategic system that really is in place to help protect not only the locals of phuket but also other travellers. and i'm presuming there'll be testing there? indeed, when you arrive off

the aircraft there is a pcr test at phuket airport and then another one a couple of days later after you check into one of the thai—certified sha hygienic standards hotels. there have been 1,000 people arrive already over the last three days and all of them have tested negative. so we're thrilled with the early results, but it's baby steps. i see, that is really interesting. it goes without saying, but the tourism industry is so important to that country. indeed. for the last 15 months this island, which probably generates — 90% of it is generated by tourism. all of the economy runs on tourism and there has been no international arrivals. it's been devastating for local people, especially for the kids in hotels and restaurants, boat operators — everybody. so this is a glimmer of hope and a ray of light after 15 months of a long, dark tunnel. and what about numbers?

how long do you expect it will take to get back up to pre—pandemic levels? as i said, it's very much a baby steps approach in the early days. this is the first initiative that has happened in the asia—pacific region, so we're very careful about it. but we expect injuly and august and september for occupancies in the hotels to move from sub—10% levels up to maybe 20%. and then as the winter hits in northern europe and all the snowbirds are looking for a dry, sunny, warm holiday, we're expecting europeans and scandinavians to bolster that to maybe 40% or 50% in the hotels. it's nothing near what it was pre—pandemic, though.

next, ukraine's government has been criticised for asking female soldiers to march in high heels. it will hold a 30 year independence parade in coming months. our correspondent as many soldiers are not impressed. the most interesting, important reactions in this case are the opinions of the female officers who fought on the frontline. who served in the army or now work in the ranks of the army. i spoke to some of them and they told me that for them it's humiliating. despite all these formal explanations of the defence ministry — which even posted the pictures of other armies' parades in their social media accounts to prove that other armies sometimes ask their women to wear these high—heeled shoes — but despite all these arguments and reasons and explanations, they think that they shouldn't be distinguished in that particular way in the official ceremonies.

maybe the big significance is the war in eastern ukraine in which women showed as equals, very often, to men in the battlefield. right. that is it from me. i am lewis vaughanjones. hello again. the weekend's weather was always going to be dominated by showers, showers coming from big clouds like these that were spotted over the skylines of staffordshire, and the heavens opening not a million miles away. in moseley in birmingham, you can see surface water building up on the roads here. and then we have this line of storms that moved across the midlands and on into lincolnshire. moved across waddington, which is just south of lincoln itself, and it brought

a real deluge. we had 25mm of rain in the space ofjust one hour. that is nearly half a month's worth of rain in the space of one hour, and i'm sure that would have caused one or two issues here. now, at the moment we've got some areas of rain pushing northwards across scotland, some heavy showers slowly easing in northern ireland. there are one or two showers elsewhere, some fairly big ones working across northern england for the next hour or two. but later in the night we're going to see another area of rain moving up across southern areas of england and rain pushing into southern wales as well. now, this widespread area of rain will then move into parts of wales, the midlands and east anglia before then breaking out into showers later on in the day. but it's another day where those showers are going to be widespread, some of them torrential as well. could bring around 30 mm of rain in the space ofjust one hour, so again there is a risk of seeing some localised flooding in the heaviest of those downpours, and there will be some dry weather between those showers as well.

on into monday and tuesday, we've got the next area of low pressure that's going to be swinging across the uk, so the weather certainly not settling down in any sense. monday sees rain pushing northwards across scotland. sunshine and a few showers elsewhere, but generally a slightly drier kind of day for most of you. but then we've got this rain that's going to be moving into the south—west, accompanied by some strengthening winds through monday afternoon. monday night time and on into tuesday our area of low pressure pushes in, bringing the rain and pushing it northwards. gales developing around the coast initially in the south—west and then along the english channel coasts in the south—east by tuesday. showers follow our main band of rain through and it'll start to feel just a little fresher. temperatures around 17 to 19 degrees celsius. from there, later in the week those showers will gradually become a little bit less widespread. the weather slowly gets a little bit more settled, but before we get there, sunday will see plenty of heavy downpours.
