this is bbc news with the latest headlines. a cabinet minister indicates that the use of face coverings will become a personal choice when lockdown restrictions in england are eased. we trust the british public to exercise good judgment. people will come to different conclusions. more than 20 million people watched england's brilliant night in rome as they thrashed ukraine, and moved on to the semi finals of the euros. it's been a long year for everybody and i'm chuffed that the two performances we've put on have brought so much enjoyment and happiness to people. cheering it was a saturday night to celebrate for fans. football now is coming home, when england face denmark at wembley on wednesday. a military transport plane has crashed in the philippines,

killing at least 29 people. ministers extend the period in which legal action can be taken against housing developers in light of the cladding crisis. greece, italy and israel send planes to cyprus to take a fatal wildfire on its south coast. and coming up, we look back at the last seven days in westminster in the week in parliament. good afternoon. the government is giving strong signals that all legal restrictions around covid protection will end on the 19thjuly as we learn to live with the virus. the housing secretary robertjenrick said this morning that the public must start to exercise personal responsibility, including overfacemasks, rather

than the government telling people what to do. our political correspondent, nick eardley, has the details. masks and social distancing have become part of our lives. but for how much longer? with shops open again, pubs serving pints, the government wants to go further, lifting all legal restrictions in england. this morning, ministers suggested legal rules around face coverings were among those likely to go. it does look as if, thanks to the success of the vaccine programme, that we now have the scope to roll back those restrictions and return to a normality as far as possible. we should all be prepared, though, that cases may continue to rise. they may continue to rise significantly. but we do now have to move into a different period where we learn to live with the virus, we take precautions, and we, as individuals, take personal responsibility. as this graph shows, the number of positive cases is rising.

but look at this line, too. hospitalisations, a key test for the government, aren't rising as quickly. that gives ministers some confidence that restrictions can be lifted without overwhelming the health service. the link is not totally broken. there are people in hospital who have been vaccinated, but it is severely weakened. is a key aim now is to get as many people vaccinated before july 19. but some are still urging caution. the british medical association has said that some measures should be kept in place later this month. labour said it wants to see the evidence. i want the economy and society to open up again. we are all getting sick and tired of the restrictions on our everyday lives to do the things we love. but it is important that if the qr codes are going to stop, if the masks are going to come off, but we are absolutely confident that that is the right thing to do.

at the moment, all we're hearing is briefings from ministers rather than the science behind it. we need to see science. the prime minister will detail more of the government's thinking in the next few days. separate decisions will be made for scotland, wales, northern ireland. the period of unprecedented restrictions on our lives looks set to be coming to an end. susan michie is a professor of health and psychology at university college london and works with the government's group of sage scientific advisers. thanks forjoining us. what do you expect in the data you have seen on the dropping of some of these restrictions? particularly the most obvious one of mask wearing? what restrictions? particularly the most obvious one of mask wearing? what we have seen previously _ obvious one of mask wearing? what we have seen previously during _ obvious one of mask wearing? what we have seen previously during this - have seen previously during this pandemic is when the public have seen that there is a really serious threat, they carry on taking precautions, often when the

government are suggesting not doing so, or not making it compulsory. we saw, right at the beginning, for example, people locking themselves down before the government suggested it. we saw when there was a lot of mixed messaging around to different tiers that, that more people were in favour of the rules and sticking to restrictions than were against them. that is only because they realise that if we are to get out of this pandemic as quickly as possible, and stay out of it, and avoid future lockdown is, then taking some precautions, when there is a serious threat, which there is at the moment, because we have an exponential rise in the virus, then, generally, the public will support that. ., , that. how divisive could it become cu s that. how divisive could it become au s liked that. how divisive could it become guys liked us. _ that. how divisive could it become guys liked us. we _ that. how divisive could it become guys liked us, we are _ that. how divisive could it become guys liked us, we are being - that. how divisive could it become guys liked us, we are being asked| that. how divisive could it become l guys liked us, we are being asked to take personal responsibility, but that means different things to different people.—

that means different things to different --eole. , ~ different people. yes, i think there needs to be _ different people. yes, i think there needs to be a _ different people. yes, i think there needs to be a partnership - different people. yes, i think there needs to be a partnership between| needs to be a partnership between individuals on the government. people have shown that they are very willing to do their bit. they are making considerable sacrifices amongst very serious challenges. on the other hand, the government needs to do their bit. for example, making shared public space is safe. for example, classrooms. restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities. as we open up, it will become more and more important that we go into the spaces feeling that we are not at a high risk of getting infected. for example, these spaces should have regulated ventilation or air purifiers, as is happening in other countries. there is no reason why the government shouldn't be doing that. it is something that scientists have called for the month. very little evidence that this is happening in any systematic way. i this is happening in any systematic wa . ., ., this is happening in any systematic wa. ., ., way. i wonder what the prospects are for sa ,

procedures. we will just allow you to drive where and how you want to. i think we need to think about this as a population wide, societal commitment. to an infection control strategy, just like we have a traffic controlled strategy, but save thousands of lives and disability every year. but that requires engagement of the population, discussion, listening, thinking, what do we want? not only to get out of this pandemic, and stay out of it, and never have another lockdown, but also be in a much more resilient position, so that when, inevitably, future viruses come along, we don't end up in the awful situation we have been in the awful situation we have been in the awful situation we have been in the past 16 months. if in the awful situation we have been in the past 16 months. iii it in the awful situation we have been in the past 16 months.— in the past 16 months. if it turns out too fast _ in the past 16 months. if it turns out too fast removal— in the past 16 months. if it turns out too fast removal of - in the past 16 months. if it turns out too fast removal of these i out too fast removal of these restrictions like mask wearing, how reluctant is the public likely to be in seeing it we introduced? i think

this is a difficult _ in seeing it we introduced? i think this is a difficult one. _ in seeing it we introduced? i think this is a difficult one. we - in seeing it we introduced? i think this is a difficult one. we don't - this is a difficult one. we don't have any direct data on it. it is much better to go ahead cautiously, as the prime minister said previously, let's be guided by dating updates. i would reinforce that point he has made. also, we don't want any reversal of this road map. if we want to be confident that we are only going to go in one direction, which is forwards, then it is much better to slow down, when the robe looks extremely bumpy, which it is right now, and then speed up, once the road is safer. we have a situation where we are only weeks, maybe a couple of months away from finishing the vaccination programme. if we can drive down transmission rates until we finish the vaccination programme, then we are in a much more stable position in terms of feeling confident that a

new variant which could undermine the vaccinations effectiveness won't come along. so, i think what a lot of scientists are now saying, is keep what we have got at the moment going until we can ensure that we don't have really high community transmissions, which means more mutations, more variants which will come along and undermine our vaccine programme. nobody wants that, because nobody wants to have to roll backwards or, god forbid, have more restrictions are another lockdown. we want to avoid that, and take every precaution we can at the moment. we don't want to throw away all the games that we have achieved over these last hard months. thank ou ve over these last hard months. thank you very much _ over these last hard months. thank you very much for _ over these last hard months. thank you very much for your— over these last hard months. thank you very much for your time. - the england team are back home after their stunning euro 2020 quarter final victory over ukraine in rome last night.

it was the most—watched live sporting tv event of the year, attracting a peak audience of 20.9 million people. england are now the bookies' favourites to win the championships. they are due to meet denmark at wembley on wednesday in the semi—finals. olly foster reports. gareth southgate was right. he said a change of scene, a first match away from wembley would be good for the players. and this was of roma sweet rome. because of quarantine restrictions, there were only a few thousand fans inside the stadium, but millions were packed into the fun parks and beer gardens back home. this isjust a taste fun parks and beer gardens back home. this is just a taste of what could be a very special week ahead. i know what would be happening at home, that's great. it's lovely to send everybody on a saturday night, beerin send everybody on a saturday night, beer in hand, in the air, wherever it is. and they should. they should enjoy it. but mike england have been moving through the gears at this tournament. they are now

in southern philippines. the aircraft with more than 90 people on board crashed as it tried to land on the island ofjolo. at least 50 people are being treated in hospital. david campa nale reports. a large ball of black smoke was seen above the wreckage of a transport plane, a lockhead c130 hercules, supplied to the philippines by the united states. the head of the armed forces said it had missed the runway. it's not clear why. and then it's tried to regain power but it had failed and hit the ground. many of those on board were soldiers. they were flying from mindanao to the provincial airport ofjolo, when the plane came down in patikul. remarkably, a number of soldiers were seenjumping out of the aircraft before it hit the ground, sparing them from explosion caused by the crash according to an army statement. dozens of soldiers were pulled from the site of the burning wreckage. they are now receiving hospital treatment. the soldiers were part

of the mineral tree's stepped up —— were part of the military�*s stepped up presence in the philippines to combat islamist militants, such as the abu sayyaf group. officials there said there was no sign that the aircraft had been attacked, and an investigation would start once the rescue operation was complete. many of those on board had only recently completed basic military training. since that report was filed, we have heard that the number of people killed has gone up from 29 to 45 in that plane crash. here, homeowners will now get 15 years in which to legally challenge shoddy building work in light of the cladding crisis. the move will increase the current six—year period in which legal action can be brought against developers. housing secretary robertjenrick said the change has come about over concerns that homeowners are bearing the cost of fire safety works following the grenfell tragedy. i want the developers, the builders,

the warranty companies, the insurers to pay up. i want shoddy workmanship to be paid for by the people who did it, not by the leaseholders. that is happening in some cases. about 50% of the cost of the grand final style cladding has been paid for by the people who put it up. we have also seen large developers coming forward asking them to do so. they have committed £500 million to do that. this new change in the law, i think, does put new cards in the hands of the leaseholders, so they can take action. borisjohnson may perform a u—turn on planned cuts to the foreign aid budget. a report in the sunday times says the prime minister will allow mps a vote on the issue before parliament breaks for the summer recess. there's been growing controversy over the plans, which would see the uk's spending on aid slashed from 0.7% to 0.5% of national income. around 50 conservative mps, including the former prime minister theresa may are amongst those against the £4 billion cut.

one of those mps is tobias ellwood. he says he would welcome a vote on the issue the uk prides itself on its strength to identify problems across the world, find solutions and take nations with them, so this decision to cut our aid budget has caused huge harm both on a strategic and on our operational level. it's damaged our hard—fought reputation as a soft power superpower, it's sent a poor example to other nations. as us as a permanent member of the united nations security council, how do we persuade others to stand with us? and, of course, we were the only g7 nation at the summit this summer to actually cut our budget. and, operationally, this saves lives. this money provide support for clean water, for polio vaccinations, for tackling hiv, and, of course, the critical humanitarian support in places like yemen, in syria and in libya. and those vacuums get filled either by extremists or, indeed, by other nations with very different agendas.

if china or russia push in then they will pursue very, very different agendas — very difficult for us to get back in there. now it's time for a look at the weather. to ensure thundery downpours. that is what some of us are content with this afternoon. there are some sunny spells. if is essential, it will feel quite warm. you you'll certainly know about it. the greatest risk of disruption of these is in north wales, northern ireland, especially in the west, much of scotland away from the north—east. you can see bright colours showing up you can see bright colours showing up in the forecast. 20 to 30 millimetres and a short space of time. it could be flooding, thunder, lightning, hail. still, some areas of rain, with heavy burst across scotland, northern ireland, northern england, north wales. the rest of england, north wales. the rest of england and south wales drying up. simply spells, sunshine, after a
