during the pandemic looking clearly are, know that there is money to be made in housing, you know, that property developers do very, very well, as do landlords. indeed, corporate landlords who build lots of homes and rent them out, this is called build to rent, also do very well so, if you were a business that was looking to diversify, asjohn lewis clearly is, had just gone through a pandemic, and suffered, because so many of your stores had been shut, housing might look quite attractive. i'm together, time for a look at the weather with helen willets. bringing some flash flooding to parts of edinburgh for example. but we had widespread funder activity —— thunder activity. we had low pressure and by the systems close by
10:31 pm
to the north and hence all of the rain and shower rain and for the south, fewer showers as we go through monday and some sunshine today press a few showers in southern and eastern areas and taking a while to ease but the brightness develops and feels warm in the sunshine, not ruling out the odd heavy shower and certainly more likely for the south, we are watching the next area of rain. the next area of low pressure which will sweep rain through the late afternoon and in the evening up across much of northern england and wales no be accompanied by some unseasonably windy weather and you'll see how the isobars are, we are expecting gale force winds through channel coasts and gusty winds accompanying this rain and will keep you posted.
10:32 pm
more than 20 million people watched england's brilliant night in rome — as they thrashed ukraine, and moved onto the semi—finals of the euros. ministers extend the period in which legal action can be taken against housing developers in light of the cladding crisis. from retail to real estate — john lewis outlines plans to build 10,000 homes for rental over the next few years. crisis now some breaking news — plans on how england moves to the final step of unlocking coronavirus restrictions, will be set out by the prime minister
10:33 pm
in a press conference tomorrow. joining me now is our political correspondent, chris mason. thank you for coming in with this. what have we been told? fix, thank you for coming in with this. what have we been told?- what have we been told? a news conference _ what have we been told? a news conference tomorrow _ what have we been told? a news conference tomorrow afternoon, | what have we been told? a news i conference tomorrow afternoon, we will hear from sajid javid, the relatively new health secretary the house of commons. we will get the direction of travel from the government effectively saying that in england in a fortnight, that last stage of a locking of the so—called road map will happen. subject to the data, which will be examined in a week, in other words, data, which will be examined in a week, in otherwords, halfway between now and july 19, the pattern since the road map was published in february. we will remember those dates set out, every single date was met on time, every single one apart from the last one which was due to happen a fortnight ago and is now
10:34 pm
highly likely to happen in a fortnight. let's get to the specifics of what we are told this evening is coming. some of the review work that has been going on looking at some of the measures and whether they can be eased will be published tomorrow on social distancing, on so—called certification, this idea of covid passports, for internal use, in other to grant you access to particular venues, so we will hear the outcome of those, we will also hear the government's view as you hinting at the headlines on the one metre plus rule on face coverings and working from home, and on care home visits, with the expectation that there will be a significant liberalisation of those rules, which will be swept away. what we may not get, we will not get news tomorrow about travel, the expectation is that the red list will remain in place for some time. we will not get tomorrow any change of the rules as far as schools are concerned, this increasingly controversial policy
10:35 pm
around bubbles where one positive case in a bubble of potentially 300 children leaves them all shunted off home to be working from the kitchen table for umpteen days. there will be no change on that. looks like we will wait until the summer holiday in england before that policy is tweaked. so when we get to a fortnight�*s time, assuming the data is ok from the government perspective in one week, it will not be entirely back to normal, but it will be a significant leap towards it. �* , ., ., ., it. let's fix the date in our head, ou said it. let's fix the date in our head, you said a _ it. let's fix the date in our head, you said a week, _ it. let's fix the date in our head, you said a week, so _ it. let's fix the date in our head, you said a week, so monday - it. let's fix the date in our head, you said a week, so monday the | it. let's fix the date in our head, - you said a week, so monday the 12th ofjuly? you said a week, so monday the 12th ofjul ? ~ ., you said a week, so monday the 12th ofjul ? ~ . ., ., , ofjuly? when the final data is looked at _ ofjuly? when the final data is looked at and _ ofjuly? when the final data is looked at and we _ ofjuly? when the final data is looked at and we get - ofjuly? when the final data is looked at and we get a - ofjuly? when the final data is i looked at and we get a definitive answer, tomorrow will be it is highly likely that kind of answer. remind us how labour have reacted. their argument is they also want to see lots of these restrictions removed. rachel reeves the shadow chancellor was in this very chair this morning talking to andrew marr and saying that, but they want to see more scientific evidence. they
10:36 pm
say that they have heard from the ministers. they want to hear from the scientists. what we do know scientifically is that, if you look at the data, there is no doubt that there is an increase in the number of positive cases, the graph is doing that, and the expectation from ministers and from the scientific modelling is that that will continue as restrictions are eased and logically you would expect that, but because of the vaccination programmes, the rate of hospitalisation is only taking up at a much, much steadier pace, and clearly, and we know all the way through, the key concern of government has been that they don't want people ending up in hospital because of the fear that the nhs would be overwhelmed, but what we will get from ministers increasingly in the next couple of weeks is an emphasis on us having to learn to live with covid, the reality that it will be there, that people will get it, the reality that some people will be ill, and yes, some people will be ill, and yes, some people will die, but because of the success of the vaccination programme in
10:37 pm
reducing that hospitalisation rate, the judgment is that society has to be allowed to reopen. very strikingly this morning in the mail on sunday the new health secretary sajid javid making the case that it is in the health interests of the country that these restrictions are eased, notjust economic ones, because of the profound additional health consequences of these restrictions and of the pandemic, not least the vast backlogs that await plenty of hospitals as far as waiting lists were treatment are concerned. waiting lists were treatment are concerned-— waiting lists were treatment are concerned. ., ., ., concerned. you said that from the outset. there _ concerned. you said that from the outset. there is _ concerned. you said that from the outset. there is a _ concerned. you said that from the outset. there is a striking - outset. there is a striking difference _ outset. there is a striking difference in _ outset. there is a striking difference in tone - outset. there is a striking difference in tone from i outset. there is a striking i difference in tone from matt hancock. ., , . difference in tone from matt hancock. ., ., ~ ., hancock. people are talking about boosters already, _ hancock. people are talking about boosters already, what _ hancock. people are talking about boosters already, what are - hancock. people are talking about boosters already, what are we - hancock. people are talking about l boosters already, what are we likely to hear about theirs, is it everyone vaccinated or is there a limit? looks like there's a limit at the moment, the government is doing preparations booster doses, a third jab for the 50s and over and the most vulnerable over the winter months. it looks like that could
10:38 pm
happen around the same time as people are getting their flu jab, based on some interim advice from the scientists on that. what we don't yet know is if it will be practical or indeed if it will be advised that people younger than 50 without underlying medical conditions will also get an additionaljab, but certainly a decent chunk of the population will. tomorrow, what time? fiee decent chunk of the population will. tomorrow, what time? five o'clock. there will be _ tomorrow, what time? five o'clock. there will be a _ tomorrow, what time? five o'clock. there will be a similar _ tomorrow, what time? five o'clock. there will be a similar statement i there will be a similar statement from sajid javid in the comments. there was a bit of heat for the government last time that they ignored the comments and they are keen to address that, and a real sense of the change in direction of travel and change in communication, a real emphasis on that says that this is now something that we have to learn to live with and pretty much get back to normal. chris mason, thank _ much get back to normal. chris mason, thank you _ much get back to normal. chris mason, thank you very - much get back to normal. chris mason, thank you very much, i much get back to normal. chris mason, thank you very much, thank you for that. now on bbc news — it's now
10:39 pm
time for the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are parliamentaryjournalist tony grew and journalist and broadcaster caroline frost. thank you slightly late but some breaking news that may influence how the front pages go. let as give you a flavour of what the front pages look like. the mail leads on the government's plans forjuly 19th in england — the paper says tomorrow the prime minister will declare it's time to restore personalfreedoms, and will argue that we need to learn to live with covid as we do with flu — specifying that after the rules are dropped onjuly19th, individuals will be asked to judge the risks for themselves. "use yourjudgment on masks"
10:40 pm
continues the telegraph — which says borisjohnson will tell the public that they will no longer be bound by covid laws on facemasks and social distancing but should instead exercise their own judgment. the guardian reports on a backlash from scientists over the planned lifting of restrictions — as government scientific advisers warn that lifting lockdown will be like building "new variant factories." "mobile ban planned for schools injanuary" — is the headline on the i newspaper as ministers aim to eradicate mobile phones in classrooms by 2022. the paper reports that the move, saying "wi—fi connectable devices" are a "distraction". we will bring you that front page shortly. let's go straight to our

10:45 pm
that's what it always should have been, that we are as responsible as we are unable to be, although clearly time has moved on, as tony says, this has been going on a long time and there is this weighing up of the fact that for some people, especially children this has become a significant portion of their crucial learning period so all of this has to be taken into account but as chris mason says, a bit of the detail in the telegraph is in fact not going to happen tomorrow. the telegraph mentions schools, it mentioned travel, and the later briefing is that neither of those two things will be impacted by the announcement tomorrow, but clearly there will be pressure exerted by tory mps that those rules should be relaxed later on, but the main message is over to you chaps, we have done our bit.— message is over to you chaps, we have done our bit. let's turn to the guardian, same _ have done our bit. let's turn to the guardian, same subject, _ have done our bit. let's turn to the guardian, same subject, but - have done our bit. let's turn to the guardian, same subject, but i - have done our bit. let's turn to the guardian, same subject, but i willl guardian, same subject, but i will start with you caroline, you can ask people to use their own judgment, and many people would probably say that i'm going to stick wearing the mask, but we know what herd

taken this long. we know that mobile phones in schools are, i'm sure that there are a couple of good reasons and justifications for a couple of children across christendom to have a phone in their back pocket that they can access readily, however, for the most part, there are three main reasons just off the top of my head. it is a major distraction. we know that there is an easy way for children to access all sorts of unsuitable stuff and we know that it is a lot of wear trouble is that school teachers then have to waste valuable time sorting out, take root, in and selfies and all of the problems we have seen happening on social media the rest of the time, why that has to take place in schools and teachers at the police that i will never know, and i'm amazed it has ever been allowed, i guess itjust happened, boiling frog syndrome but i'm happy to see it being stopped in its tracks, and it cannot come soon enough for me. tony, some schools and classes actually use children's phones as part of the lesson.—

10:56 pm
but it looks as if we will see more sunshine, compared with sunday come —— across the southern half of the uk, still showers in northern england, northern ireland and scotland was a missed and looked out near the coast, and some of those will turn out to be heavy with some funder. you cannot rule out the odd one further south but fewer than we saw during sunday. some strong sunshine but look at this coming in from mid—afternoon to the south and west. more sunshine, so high levels of pollen, grass pollen at this time of pollen, grass pollen at this time of year for many, something to be aware of if you are heading off to wimbledon, for the day. quite a lot of dry weather for the most part, but, come the evening, we will see those clouds thickening, and rain rolling in, and that is a risk for tuesday as well. i wouldn't like to rule out showers on wednesday and thursday but this is the low pressure we had been watching, there is scope for torrential downpours with localised flash flooding in the north and then this system comes in sweeping rain across england and wales during the course of monday
10:57 pm
evening and overnight, so several hours of quite heavy rain but also some unseasonally windy weather, gale force winds and gusts of 40—50 mph in length. that is unusual for this time of year and combined with the rain could cause some disruption. further north and west, some shells around on tuesday, low pressure making its way to the north sea, dragging rain up across the east coast of england and scotland with showers following on behind, so the pattern remains quite unsettled, so sunshine in between 18—19, so not quite as high as the day ahead. that low pressure starts to drift and fill further north and east, so the isobars overnight not as windy by the time we get you wednesday and thursday, and in fact a ridge of high pressure starts to build ntamack whitening down the shower activity but still some in the forecast until later in the week. goodbye for now.
