across town later today, britain's teenage sensation emma raducanu is in fourth round action, as her wimbledon dream continues. parts of edinburgh had 46 millimetres of rainfall in the last hour. for england, wales and northern ireland there will be showers fewer and farther between than yesterday. later more heavy rain comes in from the south—west. all the details coming up. it's monday, the 5th ofjuly. our top story. the prime minister is expected to tell people in england that it will be left to their "judgement" to manage coronavirus risks, as he prepares to restore freedoms on the 19th ofjuly. borisjohnson will lead a downing street press conference later today, where he will tell the public that the country must "begin

to learn to live with this virus" plans for scotland, wales and northern ireland will be outlined later this month. our political correspondent chris mason reports. they had been everywhere for ages, signs telling us how to behave. many of the remaining restrictions in england look set to be swept away in a fortnight, including social distancing, a requirement to scanning under way to cafe centre restaurants and the need to wear a mask. plus it is expected to be easier to visit a care home. ministers expect the number of people with covid will go up but far fewer of us will end up in hospital or die then would have been the case because of the vaccines.— because of the vaccines. others are worried. because of the vaccines. others are worried- the _ because of the vaccines. others are worried. the nhs _ because of the vaccines. others are worried. the nhs is _ because of the vaccines. others are worried. the nhs is actually - because of the vaccines. others are worried. the nhs is actually in - worried. the nhs is actually in quite a pressured position. we have got a lot of covid cases coming

through the dog not as high as previous ways but still causing pressure. —— through the door. also we have the challenges of recovering the backlog of pair the nhs faces. the match of the ministers is changing. learning to live with the virus is now the emphasis. scotland is not expected to remove all legal restrictions to the end of next month. neitherwales restrictions to the end of next month. neither wales nor northern ireland had committed to a date for returning to normal or something close. let's get more on this now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. we are expecting more details later. it seems the government is optimistic for the next stage of lifting optimum —— restrictions. the lifting optimum -- restrictions. the government — lifting optimum -- restrictions. the government is _ lifting optimum —— restrictions. tue: government is optimistic lifting optimum —— restrictions. tte: government is optimistic the lifting optimum —— restrictions. tt2 government is optimistic the next stage will be able to go ahead on

the new date, the 19th ofjuly, although that will not be confirmed until next monday when ministers and officials look at the most up—to—date data. ministers are confident the vaccine has broken the link between the number of people getting covid and the number of people going into hospital. you can get rid of some of the other things that had been put into place in society alongside the road map. that is why you are hearing the one metre rule will disappear for hospitality. you can have a lot more people in pubs and restaurants, theatres, sports stadiums and concert halls. we might get a tweak to the advice about whether you should work from home or not. i do not think it will be as dramatic as everyone go back to the office. what we will not get is any change to the policy on

school pupils having to isolate if somebody in their class or bubble get sick or any changes to commit you have to isolate if you get pinged by the act. i did notice on the prime minister's statement last night, he only talked about the red list but not the amber or green list for travel. maybe there could be big changes coming down.— the queen has awarded the george cross to the nhs as the health service marks its 73rd anniversary today. in a personal message, the queen said nhs staff across the uk had worked "with courage, compassion and dedication" for more than 70 years. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. the national health services in all four nations of the united kingdom have faced the most exceptional challenges over the past 16 months of the covid pandemic. it has been the most demanding period for its staff since the nhs was established 73 years ago today. the award of the george cross to the nhs is an exceptional

mark of gratitude. the medal ranked second only to the victoria cross as a means of recognising outstanding heroism. it has only been awarded to a collective body on two previous occasions. in another unusual move, the queen has handwritten a personal message setting out the citation. she writes... it is signed elizabeth r. nhs leaders say the award is a tribute to their staff. this is wonderful and

unprecedented recognition for the staff of the nhs. they have looked after us with such skill and fortitude during covid, which has been the worst pandemic in a century, and arguably the biggest challenge facing this country since the second world war. but the queen has also been clear in her personal message today that this award also marks over seven decades in which the national health service has been integral to the well—being and life of this country. later today, at st paul's cathedral in london, a service of thanksgiving will take place marking the 73 years of the nhs and giving thanks for the work of its staff during the pandemic. the service will be attended by the duke and duchess of cambridge. nicholas witchell, bbc news. six former conservative work and pensions secretary have written to rishi sunak edging them to keep the

universal credit introduced at the start of the pandemic. they say the rise due to engine your team has been vital to protect the incomes of many families and supporting the economy. the remaining part of a tower block close to the us city of miami has been demolished overnight. explosive were used to bring down the building and it is hoped rescuers can now expand the search area. a skyline changed in a matter of seconds. but unlike the time it took to demolish the remnants of this tower block, the horror that preceded will not soon be forgotten. the i2—storey apartment complex in surfside, florida, partially collapsed on the 24th ofjune.

emergency crews have worked desperately since, searching for survivors amongst the rubble. 24 people have been confirmed dead and 121 are still missing. finding them remains the priority. bringing the building down in a controlled manner is critical to expanding our scope of search in the pile and allowing us to search the area closest to the building, which is currently not been accessible to the teams given the great risk to our first responders due to the instability of the building. the demolition was brought forward due to the concerns of the approaching storm elsa. small, strategically—placed explosives were used in combination with gravity to safely bring down the remainder of the structure. the focus now is firmly on those missing.

there are many questions to be answered regarding what caused the 40—year—old building to crumble and whether the disaster could been avoided. tanya dendrinos, bbc news. a deal has been reached regarding a vessel that blocked the suez canal. after wrangling, the sea ship will be released and allowed to set up on wednesday. it became wedged across the waterway. stays in much disrupting global trade. train services are returning to normal in edinburgh after flash flooding yesterday. tim muffett reports. ominous—looking clouds over glasgow yesterday, and the rain that fell from them caused widespread disruption.

in edinburgh, many streets were flooded. there were tricky journeys for drivers and pedestrians. the train line between edinburgh waverley and haymarket station had to be closed. stjames quarter shopping centre only opened last month. naturally ventilated, it's deliberately designed to allow some rain to get in but not this much. parts had to be cordoned off for safety reasons. many parts of the uk experienced heavy rainfall yesterday. sunday shopping for some turned out to be a rather soggy experience. tim muffett, bbc news. incredible pictures. some really dramatic weather, wasn't. good morning. the picture behind me were

sentin morning. the picture behind me were sent in from edinburgh. injust one hour, there were 40.6 millimetres. you can see why there was flash flooding. that is in excess of an inch and a half. we have rain across parts of scotland. we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers quite more sunshine than we saw yesterday. the current rate up picture shows rain across northern england, scotland and northern ireland with rain pushing eastwards across the midlands and through the south—east quarter of england. that will clear away, south—east quarter of england. that will clearaway, it south—east quarter of england. that will clear away, it will brighten up across england and wales for a time with fewer showers. the showers tending to lessen. still heavy showers moving across scotland. these could be thundery with rain across the far north of scotland. later in the day we see a return to heavy rain in the south—west. if you are off to wimbledon today, after

the rain this morning it could dry up the rain this morning it could dry up for a time. pollen levels today across england are high and we are talking grass pollen at the time of year. this evening and overnight, the rain will clear, there will be showers across parts of scotland and northern ireland. for england and wales had a main pushing northwards. some of this will be thundery and it curls round. another band follows right behind. it will not be a cold night but it will be windy, particularly across the south of the country and into the south—east corner where there will be guests between 40 and 55 miles an hour. 0nce between 40 and 55 miles an hour. once again the weather remains unsettled. carroll will be with us throughout the morning. this time next week, a final decision will be made on whether the final stage of the government's roadmap out of lockdown in england will go ahead on the i9thjuly. today

ahead on the 19th july. today ahead on the i9thjuly. we are looking at some oft issues today we are looking at some of the issues this week, starting with travel. the school holidays creeping closer, this is the big issue. some clarity over what we can do when it comes to travel overseas. welcome back to the bbc breakfast departure lounge. it is possible your train, bus and plane provider will still ask you to wear a mask. some research suggests people will be comfortable sticking with them. we will know about the traffic light system of where you can go, that is here to stay. we do not expect any changes to the green list from monday. the prime minister has hinted at some changes. it has been widely reported that apple vaccinated passengers will be able to return from amber list destinations without having to

much to watch over the weekend. you are still tired, aren't you? i feel emotionally drained by all this. i am not sure i am ready for the semifinal on wednesday. anyone who has supported england will normally be looking back on king, what might have been? why did we play that badly? why do we worry so much about defeat? the way they are playing at the minute is wonderful to watch. what a delight to have an incredibly boring 20 minutes against ukraine. this rather lovely story about a car that this dad bought, david townsend bought this car for £300 in 1994. that was the year his son michael was born. he has been restoring it for all those years in order to be able to drive it to the church on time for his son's wedding taking

said, what time i going to be here on monday morning? if you have any questions for him, or you want to reflect on what has been a great weekend of sport quite let us know. over the last five years, the rspca has received almost 100,000 reports of cruelty to animals with the summer often being their busiest time investigating cases. last month, four puppies made the headlines after they were cruelly abandoned by a river. luckily, they were rescued, and are now on the road to recovery at a shelter in woking, where our reporter luxmy gopaljoins us now. good morning. morning everyone. welcome to _ good morning. morning everyone. welcome to the _ good morning. morning everyone. welcome to the rspca _ good morning. morning everyone. welcome to the rspca melbourne j welcome to the rspca melbourne animal centre. this isjean in a gentle gene. you could not imagine anyone wanting to treat her badly, could you? look how adorable she is!

she and her three siblings were found abandoned by a river, found in a bag and dumped by a river not far from here. it is incredible that anyone could do anything like that to a creature like gene. figures out today from the rspca show there had been 100,000 act of animal cruelty over the past five years. that is deliberate cruelty, not neglect or general harm. i have met a dog called max, a terrier cross, and he has been a victim of intentional cruelty. have a listen to his story. good boy. cuddles, treats and playtime, everything man's best friend deserves, but a year ago, max's life was very different. we received a report from somebody that had overheard someone bragging that they'd just beaten up their dog. so they made the call to us. we attended the address with the police.

can you open the door, please, sir? it's the police, and that's when we found max terrified, covered in blood and badly injured. there's a lot of blood here, sir. yeah. 0n the floor. do you know what that's from? evidence at the scene suggested max had been beaten with a metal colander. he was rescued and cared for at the rspca york animal home, which oversees recovery, rehabilitation and rehoming. this was a willing act of cruelty. he willfully submitted max to terrible injuries and an appalling act of violence. and we... as long as we've been here, i don't think we'll ever understand what goes through people's minds. rspca inspectors say they're seeing a rise in deliberate acts of cruelty, especially in summer months. it's possibly because the weather's better, the days are longer. people are spending more time outside, so it gives them more chance to see things and report it to us. over the past five years, the rspca has received the equivalent of 10,000 reports of intentional

animal cruelty every six months, with a spike lastjuly when more than 1,500 incidents were reported in that month alone. max was left with a fractured pelvis and dislocated hip. 0ver months, his health and confidence was rebuilt. we were overwhelmed, really, at how forgiving he was. mainly, an animal that's gone through what he went through really had the right not to never trust people again, but he did. and he's living his best life now. dogs are always rewarded, but particularly having a dog who's had the experience that he's had, to see him come through and come out the other end and be a happy, healthy dog and want to be have this contact with me and want to be sort of part of a normal life, i thinkjust makes it even more so. and, as a special treat, a reunion with the staff who turned his life around. good boy.

he was probably one of the worst ones i've seen. just like the injuries. to see him bounce back like he has, yeah, he's a cracking little dog. to see him this happy. you know, it's why we do what we do, really. it just makes everything worthwhile. the idea of deliberate animal cruelty seems almost incomprehensible. but at least this tale has a happy ending, with max shaking off his past trauma and finding an owner worthy of his loyalty. in connection with max's treatment, to make the men were given suspended 18 week prison sentence. it is great to see the recovery he has been making, the progress he has been making. the same goes forjean and

not really knowing what was to come and exactly how it will affect us, which i think was, you know. it was a major concern that this would hit us hard. it was an incredibly difficult time because people were dying on their own in their rooms. but the compassion was there and the care was there, and there was always a nurse with the patients as they became more critically unwell. the team in newcastle helped to develop new treatments for covid, which improved outcomes. but dr price will never be able to forget having to tell loved ones terrible news. the first phone calls that i made had a huge impact. it was very, very emotional. it became clear that these phone calls were going to need to be happening, you know, constantly by many, many, many people all over the country. and it was the realisation that that was what was going to be happening, that hit me very hard,

hit me like a tonne a ton of bricks when i when i made those first phone calls. it was quite scary. i've never been to a hospital before. it was the first time and i was frightened because i never had no—one with me and i didn't know what was going to happen. eva was 27 weeks pregnant when she became ill. doctors were worried that both mother and baby wouldn't make it. we had a video call with eva. how is your breathing? 0k? she can speak loud, but she was thumbs up and saying, 0k. about an hour later, i had a phone call from the hospital and the doctor saying, "0h, she's induced coma." and it was quite horrible. sorry. eva spent five days in a coma.

weeks and weeks in hospital, her tiny daughter born three months premature, but with extraordinary help from nurses and doctors, both were eventually able to come home. i don't know how to thank them. they were wonderful. honestly, they looked after me really well. obviously, i recovered because of them and they did what they could to save my life. but if you feel unwell ifind it a great honour to do, i really do. i think it's lovely to be able to help other people. i get a lot of pleasure out of that, and especially to see the smiling faces. roy is 83, a former royal marine. he's been volunteering throughout the pandemic. like every other marine, you're injected with determination and it never leaves you. if i start something, i'll see it through. i never give in. i'm a very, very determined guy, roy lost his wife esther last year. he says fellow volunteers helped him through. we were married 58 years.

we we re we were in our 59th year. yeah. it's been amazing. real comradeship. wonderful. volunteers, patients, medical staff. all will be recognised and thanked at today's service. graeme satchell, bbc news. some really touching and lovely messages in there. let's pick up some of those things. let's speak to gp, dr nighat arif. good morning. iam good morning. i am sure quite a few of your nhs colleagues are on your mind today, aren't they?— mind today, aren't they? yeah, i know. mind today, aren't they? yeah, i knovv- happy _ mind today, aren't they? yeah, i know. happy birthday _ mind today, aren't they? yeah, i know. happy birthday to - mind today, aren't they? yeah, i know. happy birthday to the - mind today, aren't they? yeah, i l know. happy birthday to the nhs. obviously— know. happy birthday to the nhs. obviously i have served the nhs for 14 years _ obviously i have served the nhs for 14 years as— obviously i have served the nhs for 14 years as a doctor. i think we need _ 14 years as a doctor. i think we need to— 14 years as a doctor. i think we need to give ourselves thanks. my colleagues are tired, we are exhausted. the pandemic the last 18

crowd of 60,000 fans allowed in. so it will feel, i think, relatively normal. one of the most important things to remember about what is going on inside the england camp, whatever we hear, is don't they look relaxed? don't they look happy. hopefully you are going to see some brilliant pictures right now of the england team basicallyjust having a laugh. unicorn inflatables. we have seen that with before. but this time, at one point you might even see saka flying unicorn and landing people, really elegantly. they look like they are having a great time. they are enjoying themselves. they don't seem to be feeling the pressure. whatever gareth southgate is doing and saying to them, isn't it working? it is working really well. that looks like a relaxed squad of players. of course, the lads who played on the saturday night, for the players who are not involved, they are being looked afterjust as much. southgate himself said he was

more concerned about the people who did not play on saturday night than the team. he has got to keep everybody happy. happy and relaxed and calm. well, i think we can safely say that is working so so far let's go to wimbledon. the british teenager is continuing. she is 18. she was a wild card. she won her third round match on saturday. she will now face a ajla tomljanovic. fresh from finishing her a—levels, she is the youngest british woman to reach the wimbledon last 16 in the open era. the all england club has announced there will be a 75% capacity on number one court and centre court today. so 9000 people will watch rudyk carry migrant match. lewis hamilton has

lost more ground on max verstappen. he won the austrian —— austrian grand prix. verstappen now has a 32 point lead over his title rival. obviously i've lost a lot of ground on the last four races. it has been pretty painful. today, to do some second phase some damage on with so many england regulars on the live studio at the moment, england put seven tries starters. he’s studio at the moment, england put seven tries starters.— seven tries starters. he's scored a's last night- — seven tries starters. he's scored a's last night. 43-29 _ seven tries starters. he's scored a's last night. 43-29 was - seven tries starters. he's scored a's last night. 43-29 was the - seven tries starters. he's scored l a's last night. 43-29 was the final a's last night. 43—29 was the final straw. what is the betting that the toy of the summer is going to be one? t toy of the summer is going to be one? , g toy of the summer is going to be one? , ., ., , one? i remember them from last time. the 'ust one? i remember them from last time. they just get — one? i remember them from last time. theyjust get better. — one? i remember them from last time. theyjust get better, don't _ one? i remember them from last time. theyjust get better, don't they? -

? absolutely. we have got a bit of everything in the weather forecast in the next few days. torrential rain led to flash flooding in edinburgh yesterday. today, scattered heavy showers. still some rain on the far north of scotland. in between, sunny spells. this is the featured rebrov the heavy rain. still with us. we cast our eyes to the south—west. that is coming our way liver. it will bring some heavy rain, some of which will be thundery. the radar is messy. we have got showers, and we have got some rain. the showery rain in the south will push away to the east

through because of the morning. showers in northern england and northern ireland will tend to ease a touch. still some in the afternoon but there will be a lot of dry weather as well. showers pushing north across scotland. some could be heavy and thundery. we have got rain across the far north. in between there could be some dry weather. also some sunshine with highs of up to 21 degrees. by the end of the afternoon you can already see some heavy rain coming in across the south—west and the channel islands. that will be accompanied by strengthening winds later. if you are heading off to wimbledon today, when we lose the rain, it should be dry for much of the day. but later on that rain coming in from the south—west is moving north—east was. it will get into that mike rolfe and today we are looking at high levels of pollen. as we head into the evening and overnight you can see this area of low pressure. it is slowly pushing northwards and eastwards. they will be some heavy thundery rain mixed in with that and

strengthening winds. here it comes pushing northwards and eastwards. showers moving north across scotland. the rain clearing. a few showers in northern ireland for a time. behind its main band, a second band of heavy and thundery rain. as a result there is not going to bea be a cold night. you will notice the wind. these are the kind of winds we are looking at. trees in full leaf. might lead to some disruption. something to bear in mind if you are heading out later on. as we go through the best of tuesday, it is a web picture. rain moving northwards. it will move up the east coast, eventually moving out of north east england and into north—east scotland. behind it, some dry weather with fewer showers. still a few showers knocking around, some of the emerging across wales, getting into south—west england. these are the maximum temperatures.

station before chanting anti—semitic abuse. british transport police say they became aware of the footage yesterday. a new regulator is to be set—up with the power to prosecute property developers, who don't meet safety standards. the government's plan will be announced today as part of the new building safety bill, which comes four years after the grenfell tower fire which claimed 72 lives. speaking with andrew marr yesterday, the housing minister was asked if all dangerous acm cladding as used on grenfell would be removed by the end of this year, as promised by the government. i expect acm cladding will be off buildings by the end of the year. so the answer is no? a bit more complicated than you are portraying it.

some of the buildings were only discovered in the last year or so. london's e—scooter trial is to be extended to the city of london and northern parts of lambeth from today. the e—scooter rental trial has been running across five boroughs and ca nary wharf. the number of e—scooters available to rent is expected to double. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the district line has severe delays between turnham green and richmond due to a signalfailure. another signal failure is effecting the piccadilly line and thejubilee line has minor delays. now the weather with kate. good morning. no pressure is still in charge of the weather for the next few days. you can see spinning towards its various outbreaks of rain. that has cleared away and we should start to see sunny spells fairly quickly. those sunny spells turning hazy with the introduction of high cloud and sharp showers and temperatures

good morning. welcome to breakfast with dann walker and louise minchin. restoring people's freedoms. the prime minister will set out plans for the final stage of lifting england's covid restrictions but with the morning we must learn to live with the virus. what might it mean if you are wanting to book a foreign holiday? i look at how things stand and how they might change. abs. things stand and how they might chance. �* ~ ., change. a huge week for sport. encland's change. a huge week for sport. england's players _ change. a huge week for sport. england's players are _ change. a huge week for sport. england's players are in - change. a huge week for sport. england's players are in a - change. a huge week for sport. england's players are in a veryl england's players are in a very relaxed mood as they splash about

ahead of the first european championship semifinal in 25 years. just 13 miles down the road, britain's teenage wild card plays in the fourth round as her wimbledon dream continues this afternoon. cleaning up after flash flooding and adam russell rhodes and the water and trains brought to a standstill. across the north of the country we are looking at rain and showers with sunshine in between. in the south, after early rain or showers it will brighten up. more on the way from the south—west later. the details later in the programme. good morning. the prime minister is expected to tell people in england it will be left to judgment to manage coronavirus with as he prepares to ease restrictions from the 19th ofjuly. borisjohnson will lead a downing street press

conference later where he will tell the country they will have to learn to live with the virus. plans for scotland and northern ireland will be outlined later. chris mason has more. they had been everywhere for ages, signs telling us how to behave. rules, the likes of which we've never seen before. many of the remaining restrictions in england look set to be swept away in a fortnight, including social distancing, a requirement to scan in under way to cafe centre restaurants and the need to wear a mask. plus it is expected to be easier to visit a care home. ministers expect the number of people with covid will go up but far fewer of us will end up in hospital or die then would have been the case because of the vaccines. others are worried.

the nhs is actually in quite a pressured position. we have got a lot of covid cases coming through the door. not as high as previous waves but still causing pressure. also we have the challenges of recovering the backlog of care the nhs faces. the mantra of the ministers is changing. learning to live with the virus is now the emphasis. scotland is not expected to remove all legal restrictions the end of next month. neither wales nor northern ireland have committed to a date for returning to normal or something close. ido miss i do miss in westminster, as you can see. —— lets get the latest now from our chief political correspondent adam fleming. so adam, it sounds like the government is increasingly optimistic that all restrictions will be lifted onjuly the 19th? the vaccine is working so well. tt

is breaking the connection between the number of people getting and the going to hospital. the government does not want us to think it is a bonfire of restrictions. at the same time there is talk about everything being lifted, they are ramming home the message that everyone must be cautious and behave responsibly. there will be a lot of covid cases. especially the vulnerable will be at great risk from the virus. that is why when it comes to wearing masks, the legal... the actual restriction where you have got to wear a mask on public transport will be replaced by advice. i think it will be strong advice. i think it will be strong advice that it is still a good idea to wear a mask and that is what you should be doing. that is what they mean by taking personal responsibility. a few technicalities. the actual decision

from july the 19th will not be taken till next monday. there are a few things we will not get today changes to the traffic light system for travel will not be announced today and changes to what happens with school bubbles and isolations when there is a positive case in a class. we will get a hint about what ministers will like to do but no details or confirmation about what is likely to change. all of us will have to be grappling with this thing that there are many, fewer restrictions and instructions but still a lot of covid. working out what personal responsibility means will be a tricky task for all of us. plenty to unpick. we will be speaking to the care minister about some of those issues later. the queen has awarded the george cross to the nhs as the health service marks its 73rd anniversary today. in a personal message, the queen said nhs staff

across the uk had worked "with courage, compassion and dedication" for more than 70 years. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. the national health services in all four nations of the united kingdom have faced the most exceptional challenges over the past 16 months of the covid pandemic. it has been the most demanding period for its staff since the nhs was established 73 years ago today. the award of the george cross to the nhs is an exceptional mark of gratitude. the medal ranked second only to the victoria cross as a means of recognising outstanding heroism. it has only been awarded to a collective body on two previous occasions. in another unusual move, the queen has handwritten a personal message setting out the citation. she writes...

it is signed elizabeth r. nhs leaders say the award is a tribute to their staff. this is wonderful and unprecedented recognition for the staff of the nhs. they have looked after us with such skill and fortitude during covid, which has been the worst pandemic in a century, and arguably the biggest challenge facing this country since the second world war. but the queen has also been clear in her personal message today that this award also marks over seven decades in which the national health service has been integral to the well—being and life of this country. later today, at st paul's cathedral in london, a service of thanksgiving will take place marking the 73 years of the nhs and giving thanks

for the work of its staff during the pandemic. the service will be attended by the duke and duchess of cambridge. nicholas witchell, bbc news. six former conservative work and pension secretaries have written to the chancellor, rishi sunak, urging him to keep the £20—a—week increase in universal credit, introduced at the start of the pandemic. they say the rise — due to end in the autumn — has been vital for protecting the incomes of many families and supporting the economy. mr sunak has said other long—term schemes will help compensate for the loss. the remaining part of a tower block that partially collapsed near the us city of miami has been demolished overnight. 24 people are known to have died and 121 are still missing following the collapse last month. explosives were used to bring down the 12—storey building, and it's hoped this will allow rescuers to expand their search area, as tanya dendrinos reports.

a skyline changed in a matter of seconds. but unlike the time it took to demolish the remnants of this tower block, the horror that preceded will not soon be forgotten. the 12—storey apartment complex in surfside, florida, partially collapsed on the 24th ofjune. emergency crews have worked desperately since, searching for survivors amongst the rubble. 24 people have been confirmed dead and 121 are still missing. finding them remains the priority. bringing the building down in a controlled manner is critical to expanding our scope of search in the pile and allowing us to search the area closest to the building, which has currently not been accessible to the teams given the great risk to our first responders due to the instability of the building.

the demolition was brought forward due to the concerns of the approaching storm elsa. small, strategically—placed explosives were used in combination with gravity to safely bring down the remainder of the structure. the focus now is firmly on those missing. there are many questions to be answered regarding what caused the 40—year—old building to crumble and whether the disaster could have been avoided. tanya dendrinos, bbc news. pope francis has undergone a successful colon surgery at a hospital in rome. the vatican says he is recovering well from the procedure, which was carried out under a general anaesthetic yesterday. before the operation pope francis gave his sunday blessing to worshippers in st peter's square. this is the first time the 84—year—old has been in hospital since his election in 2013. train services are returning to normal in edinburgh this morning, after flash flooding yesterday.

the stormy weather left some streets submerged in water, and shops were forced to close. tim muffett reports. ominous—looking clouds over glasgow yesterday, and the rain that fell from them caused widespread disruption. in edinburgh, many streets were flooded. there were tricky journeys for drivers and pedestrians. the train line between edinburgh waverley and haymarket station had to be closed. stjames quarter shopping centre only opened last month. naturally ventilated, it's deliberately designed to allow some rain to get in but not this much. parts had to be cordoned off for safety reasons. many parts of the uk experienced heavy rainfall yesterday.

sunday shopping for some turned out to be a rather soggy experience. tim muffett, bbc news. let's get some more reaction to the government's expected announcement that it will be able to lift the majority of the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england from july 19th. stephen powis is the national medical directorfor england — he joins us now from st paul's cathedral, where a service will take place later today marking the 73rd anniversary of the nhs. morning to you. thank you for joining us. we seem to see a change in language from the government. from your point of view, what does learning to live with it mean? the iood learning to live with it mean? the good news _ learning to live with it mean? the good news is _ learning to live with it mean? tt2 good news is although infection rates are rising, hospital admissions are not rising at the rate we have seen in previous weeks. as we go back to december, when we had around 23,000 infections per

day, around the rate we have seen in the last few days, there were nearly 15,000 people with covid in hospital and now there are only 1700 and england. the reason for that is the great success of the vaccine programme. vaccines are turning out to be highly effective against severe disease, over 90% effective in preventing people needing treatment in hospital. flan in preventing people needing treatment in hospital. can you tell us? we know _ treatment in hospital. can you tell us? we know restrictions - treatment in hospital. can you tell us? we know restrictions will - treatment in hospital. can you tell us? we know restrictions will be l us? we know restrictions will be lifted from the 19th ofjuly. will you expect to see cases going up? what are you expecting to see? tt is what are you expecting to see? it is the case the — what are you expecting to see? tt 3 the case the cases will continue to go the case the cases will continue to 9° up the case the cases will continue to go up over the next few weeks and we would expect hospital admissions to rise as well. we will be keeping a close eye on the data. as i say, things are looking very good. analysis health officials are doing shows the effectiveness of the vaccine. underlines the need to get

people vaccinated. do not forget second doses are really important as well. if you have the first dose, make sure you get the second. itrufhat make sure you get the second. what is an acceptable _ make sure you get the second. what is an acceptable number of places? what level do you become concerned? the nhs deals with pressures all the time. there is no doubt as hospital numbers rise over the next few weeks, we will have to manage that pressure. we are well used to coping with pressures. we do it every year, every winter when we see a rise in infections. we are prepared. as you have seen over the last 16 months of the pandemic, the nhs will manage. tell us a bit about the pressures. there are covid cases. you say there will be more, you expect more, also the pressure because of what has not

happened in the past 18 months and the backlog of cases. yes. happened in the past 18 months and the backlog of cases.— happened in the past 18 months and the backlog of cases. yes, nhs staff have ke -t the backlog of cases. yes, nhs staff have kept services _ the backlog of cases. yes, nhs staff have kept services going _ the backlog of cases. yes, nhs staff| have kept services going throughout. they had been disrupted with over 400,000 people with covid treated over the course of the pandemic and they are working hard to get on top of the backlog. what the public can do to help is to get vaccinated. the fewer people we have to admit with covid, the more time and space we have got to get on and manage the patients who are waiting for treatment. the other thing i would say is this is geographically very localised. infection rates are in the north west, in other parts of the north west, in other parts of the country they are fairly low at the country they are fairly low at the moment. he the country they are fairly low at the moment-— the country they are fairly low at the moment. ., ., the moment. he mentioned the north west. do the moment. he mentioned the north west- do you — the moment. he mentioned the north west. do you think _ the moment. he mentioned the north west. do you think might _ the moment. he mentioned the north west. do you think might have - the moment. he mentioned the north west. do you think might have to - the moment. he mentioned the north west. do you think might have to be l west. do you think might have to be different restrictions in place again or not?— different restrictions in place again or not? different restrictions in place aiain ornot? , ., _ ., ,., again or not? obviously that is a matter for _ again or not? obviously that is a matter for government. - again or not? obviously that is a matter for government. it - again or not? obviously that is a| matter for government. it seems again or not? obviously that is a i matter for government. it seems to be we will be proceeding on a

england and wales. the same for northern ireland, sunshine and a few showers. across scotland rain is moving in across the far north and potentially thundery showers with bright skies in between. in newcastle we are looking at 17, 18 in cardiff. by the time we get to four o'clock this afternoon we will already have that first signs of the area of low pressure coming our way, introducing heavier rain in the south—west and the channel islands. that will drift northwards. heavy bass mixed in with and enlightening potentially. behind it we have the next batch. dusty winds in the south and south—east. bearing in mind trees are in full leaf, that might cause a few problems. temperatures tonight, widely in double figures.

about 12 to 15 degrees. thank you. better legal rights for residents is the latest attempt to try to solve the cladding crisis in the wake of the grenfell tower fire in june 2017. since then, the government has identified 462 high—rise residential buildings with dangerous cladding in england. its thought 650,000 people are living in unsafe buildings, that's according to the association of residential managing agents. but latest government figures show just over 60% of buildings with dangerous cladding in the public sector — for example housing associations — have had it completely removed and replaced. on private sector blocks it's below 50%. the government wants to give people who own flats with flammable cladding in england and wales, up to 15 years to sue developers for poor construction. we're joined now by william martin from the uk cladding action group and kean silvesterfrom the city point residents association

and the flu jab will be very important. it is about what we have learned to make sure i can continue as close to normal and we do not miss out on things we have missed out over the last 18 months. on the issue of personal responsibility, let's talk about masks. igrufhat let's talk about masks. what decision we _ let's talk about masks. what decision we make _ let's talk about masks. what decision we make on - let's talk about masks. what| decision we make on wearing let's talk about masks. what decision we make on wearing masks beyond the 19th ofjuly? t do decision we make on wearing masks beyond the 19th ofjuly?— beyond the 19th ofjuly? i do not like wearing _ beyond the 19th ofjuly? i do not like wearing a _ beyond the 19th ofjuly? i do not like wearing a facemask. - beyond the 19th ofjuly? i do not like wearing a facemask. it - beyond the 19th ofjuly? i do not like wearing a facemask. it is i like wearing a facemask. it is something many people will share with me. i know it is really hard. in people, particularly those who are hard of hearing speaking to them in a facemask. i will follow the guidance on when people should think of wearing one or not, and make a common—sensejudgment and give common—sense judgment and give guidance common—sensejudgment and give guidance on the right precautions. forgive me, that is why i asked to that question. the guidance is to what you think is necessary. for

at high risk have already had a chance to have a first and second days. that is why we are in a good position and we expect to be able to move forward with their steps on the 19th ofjuly. “you move forward with their steps on the 19th ofjul . ., ., ., 19th ofjuly. you are the care minister- _ 19th ofjuly. you are the care minister. lots _ 19th ofjuly. you are the care minister. lots of _ 19th ofjuly. you are the care minister. lots of people - 19th ofjuly. you are the care minister. lots of people willl 19th ofjuly. you are the care l minister. lots of people will be interested to know about people living in care homes and those wanting to visit them. what changes are there regarding care homes? taste are there regarding care homes? we have are there regarding care homes? 2 have been opening up, encouraging and allowing more visiting to care homes over the last few months. we took another step on the 21st of june on this. already the vast majority, 99% of pair home residents have had doses of the vaccination. already really well protected. there will be further steps on opening up visiting as part of stage iv to take back even further towards normal.

there will have to be some infection prevention and control measures. they are really making good progress on making life much more like normal for those living in care homes and families. what is an important point is we are bringing forward legislation to make it a condition of employment, a requirement for anyone working in a care home to be vaccinated for covid, and this to come into effect in the autumn. we will be consulting on whether to do this for the rest of the social pair workforce —— care workforce. they are looking after people who are more vulnerable to covid and more at risk from it. i have spoken to many people, family members at greater

of those, did you see the rain in edinburgh yesterday? today, we are looking at heavy showers are longer spells of rain and some sunny spells. we found some heavy rain already this morning across parts of the south—east, we have rain moving north across scotland but later we have this deeper area of low pressure coming our way, it will introduce heavy rain and strong winds. it“s introduce heavy rain and strong winds. it's a messy picture on the radar this morning. a lot of rain, showers, damp surfaces basically. the rain this morning pushed into the north sea, leaving for much of england and wales, sunshine and showers, the shower is easing a little but not completely across northern england and northern ireland as we go through this afternoon. drifting further north across scotland as rain comes in across scotland as rain comes in across the very far north and already we see the first signs of this next batch coming across the southwest. these are the temperatures, 14 in the north, 20 in the south. wimbledon today then,

it's looking drier and we will hang onto the dryness until later on in the evening. pollen levels across much of england are high, though or moderate across the rest of the uk and as we go through this evening and as we go through this evening and overnight, here comes this area of low pressure. slowly drifting north and east, gusty winds on the southern flank, especially so with exposure around the south—west and coming across the english channel. you see decent amount of rain moving north, some of those could also be thundery and it curls back and does exactly the same, bringing in heavier rain. to the north of that, showers pushing north across scotland, some of those getting in across northern ireland but it's not going to be a cold night, temperatures in double figures but it will be windy. this gives you a rough idea of the kind of wind gusts you should expect and the other thing with bearing in mind, trees are in full leaf at the moment so it could lead to some disruption with branches falling onto the roads, for

example. heading through the course of tomorrow, drifts up the east coast and nazi across north—east england, eventually spiralling in across north—east scotland, there will be a fair bit of dry weather around, some isolated showers in the east. temperatures down a little bit compared to what we see today. eventually we say goodbye to the area of low pressure. towards the end of the week, that ridge of high pressure building on, settling things down, the isobars are spreading out, but it's not going to be bone dry, sunshine around, that there will be some showers. temperature starting to creep up compared to what we're looking at tomorrow. dan and louise. carol, thank you. it's six minutes to eight o“clock. this time next week there will be a final decision on whether the final stage of the government road map out of lockdown in england will go ahead on the 19th ofjuly. let's look up some of the issues this week, today we are starting

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today... restoring people's freedoms — the prime minister will set out plans today for the final stage of lifting england's covid restrictions, but with the warning that we must learn to live with the virus and what might that mean if you're looking to book a foreign holiday? the traffic light system, covid passports and quarantine. i look at where you stand now, and how things might change. a huge week for sport — england's players are in a relaxed mood, splashing about, ahead of their theirfirst european championship semi—final in 25 years.

but before thatjust 13 miles down the road from here, britain's teenage wildcard emma raducanu plays in the fourth round, as her wimbledon dream continues this afternoon the launch of a new campaign against animal cruelty — to help protect rescue dogs like max from their violent owners good morning. today across england, wales and northern ireland we are starting up with sun showers. a lot will ease during the day allowing sunshine. in scotland you have showers or longer spells of rain and brightness as well. all the details coming up. it's monday, the 5th ofjuly. our top story. the prime minister is expected to tell people in england that it will be left to their "judgement" to manage coronavirus risks, as he prepares to ease restrictions from the 19th ofjuly. borisjohnson will lead a downing street press conference later today,

where he will tell the public that the country must "begin to learn to live with this virus". plans for scotland, wales and northern ireland will be outlined later this month. so let's look at what we're expecting later. many of the remaining restrictions in england do look set to be swept away in a fortnight, including... social distancing. that will mean scrapping the one—metre—plus rule in public places. it“s thought there will no longer be a requirement to scan in when going into cafes and restaurants, whether or not to wear a mask will come down to personal choice and it's also expected that it will get easier for friends and relatives to visit their loved ones in a care home. lets get the latest now ones in a care home. correspondent adam fleming. we do know some of what he will announce but other questions are still to be answered. we will still have to wait till later in the week later in the month about isolation in schools and the traffic light system for travel. it

will be about the bigger things on economy and society in england that will be lifted onjuly the 19th. we are moving from a world where there will be lots of rules and instructions to lots of advice and guidance instead and it will be up to people to make up their own minds. an example is masks with a are mandatory on public transport and lots of venues. you will have to make a judgment about the risks facing you and you pose to others around you if you decide not to wear around you if you decide not to wear a mask. this tends to be tricky for government ministers. they do not want to be seen to be lecturing people on what to do as discovered when you ask a question to the care minister about whether she will be wearing a mask or not. t do minister about whether she will be wearing a mask or not.— wearing a mask or not. i do not particularly _ wearing a mask or not. i do not particularly like _ wearing a mask or not. i do not particularly like wearing - wearing a mask or not. i do not particularly like wearing a - wearing a mask or not. i do not - particularly like wearing a facemask stop i_ particularly like wearing a facemask stop i also— particularly like wearing a facemask stop i also know it is hard. and people. — stop i also know it is hard. and people, particularly those who are hard of _ people, particularly those who are hard of hearing when someone is

we will keep a very close eye on the data. at the moment, things are looking very good. the analysis public health officials are doing show the effectiveness of the vaccine and it underlines the need to get as many people vaccinated as possible. the best birthday present you can give to the nhs is to get you jab if you haven't had it. do not forget second doses are really important. if you had your first dose, make sure you get a second. some medics sang letting the bc many cases of covid circulating in the community saying it is not a responsible thing to do. some people saying good to get more people into your premises and you can get a drink at the bar. the queen has awarded the george cross to the nhs as the health service marks its 73rd anniversary today. in a personal message, the queen said nhs staff across the uk had worked "with courage, compassion and dedication" for more than 70 years.

the pandemic has the greatest challenge our nation has faced since the second world war. what is the reaction? the phrase i am seeing on a lot of press releases as well can break —— recognition. a lot of unions and think tags have said, people are getting the recognition and that is great. —— think tanks. the nhs staff have been given a pay offer of 1%. a lot of them are not happy with that and they hope that will get improved. flice happy with that and they hope that will get improved.— will get improved. nice to talk to ou. see will get improved. nice to talk to you- see you _ will get improved. nice to talk to you. see you later. _ the remaining part of a tower block that partially collapsed near the us city of miami has been demolished overnight. explosives were used to bring down the 12—storey building, and it's hoped this will allow rescuers to expand their search area. 24 people are known to have died and 121 are still missing following the collapse last month. president biden has said the united states is closer than ever to declaring its independence from coronavirus.

in a speech marking the 4th ofjuly public holiday, mr biden said the country had gained the "upper hand" against the virus — although warned it was not yet beaten. the us has recorded more than 600,000 covid—related deaths — more than any other country. this year, the 4th ofjuly is a day of special celebration. we are emerging from the darkness of years, a year of pandemic and isolation, a year of pain, fear and heartbreaking loss. just think back to where this nation was a year ago. think back to where you were a year ago. and think about how far we have come. a deal has been reached to release the vessel that blocked the suez canal earlier this year. after three months of wrangling over compensation between the suez canal authority and the owners of the ever given, the seized ship will be released and allowed to set off on wednesday.

the vessel became wedged across the waterway for six days in march, disrupting global trade. train services are returning to normal in edinburgh this morning, after flash flooding yesterday. the stormy weather left some streets submerged in water, and shops were forced to close. tim muffett reports. ominous—looking clouds over glasgow yesterday, and the rain that fell from them caused widespread disruption. in edinburgh, many streets were flooded. there were tricky journeys for drivers and pedestrians. the train line between edinburgh waverley and haymarket station had to be closed. stjames quarter shopping centre only opened last month. naturally ventilated, it“s deliberately designed to allow some rain to get in but not this much.

parts had to be cordoned off for safety reasons. many parts of the uk experienced heavy rainfall yesterday. sunday shopping for some turned out to be a rather soggy experience. tim muffett, bbc news. i know carroll is watching the pictures as well. it is quite something. yesterday, injust one hour at the royal botanical gardens in edinburgh, there was 40.6 millimetres of rain, an excess of an inch and a half. what we have today is a mix of sunshine and scattered heavy showers. you can see quite nicely on the satellite picture where we have got the cloud. it has been pushing eastwards across southern england during the early

part of today. ploughed in the north and a big lump of plaid coming in later across the atlantic. —— cloud. still a few showers left but not as many as there have been. we hang onto a therapy showers across scotland, some of which will be heavy. —— a fair you showers. these other temperatures, 18 in newcastle, 19 in birmingham and cardiff. at the end of the afternoon all the rain coming in across the hours of silly, the south—west of england and the channel islands. —— the isles of scilly. there could be thunder and lightning. if you follow the pearl roundabout more rain coming in behind which could also be heavy. —— follow the curl round. this gives you a rough idea of the gusts. bear

in mind that trees are in full leaf at the moment and there might be some disruption. not a cold night. the only consolation i can offer for the weather forecast tonight. thank you for offering some consolation. england fans, how are you feeling after the weekend? are you worried about wednesday against the danes? it was bonkers. dreaming, an encouraging weekend of football. gareth southgate“s men really did cruise into the semi—final with a demolition of ukraine, and still no goals conceded. let's find out how alan shearer“s nerves are holding up. i have been looking forward to speaking to you all weekend. hagar i have been looking forward to speaking to you all weekend. how are ou? ve speaking to you all weekend. how are you? very well _ speaking to you all weekend. how are you? very well and — speaking to you all weekend. how are you? very well and cute. _ speaking to you all weekend. how are you? very well and cute. i— speaking to you all weekend. how are you? very well and cute. i was - speaking to you all weekend. how are you? very well and cute. i was until. you? very well and cute. i was until i saw the picture of myself 6:30am around your news. that i saw the picture of myself 6:30am around your news.— i saw the picture of myself 6:30am around your news. that one! i use it tuite around your news. that one! i use it

manager allows them to go out and express themselves. he takes a lot of pressure on his shoulders, which will be tough for him. it allows his players to go out and play with freedom. they do not seem to care about past tournaments where the media has tried to put pressure on them because of that. each and every one of them, this past three or four macro weeks, the past couple of years but we got to the semifinal of the world cup a couple of years ago a lot of the players. it is great to see them go out and strap their stuff. let's hope they can do it again on wednesday evening. as]!!! stuff. let's hope they can do it again on wednesday evening. all the -a ers are again on wednesday evening. all the papers are full— again on wednesday evening. all the papers are full of— again on wednesday evening. all the papers are full of it. _ again on wednesday evening. all the papers are full of it. we _ again on wednesday evening. all the papers are full of it. we are - papers are full of it. we are talking about it on bbc breakfast. there is a lot of chat. what is your advice to the manager? what would you say? he advice to the manager? what would ou sa ? ., ., ., ., ., ,, you say? he would not want to take advice from — you say? he would not want to take advice from anyone _ you say? he would not want to take advice from anyone stop _ you say? he would not want to take advice from anyone stop that - you say? he would not want to take advice from anyone stop that is - you say? he would not want to take advice from anyone stop that is the | advice from anyone stop that is the good thing about gareth. he has the

country shouting at him. every person would probably pick a different team, like has been the case over the last three weeks. he does not listen to the noise, the media, the fans. he makes his own decision. that is what has been impressive about gareth, the way he has handled himself on and off the pitch. all his decisions. all his decisions, working for that they worked again at the weekend, the team selection, going back to a back four macro. he will not listen to me, noranyone. he does four macro. he will not listen to me, nor anyone. he does not need to be the way things are going for him. i hope they can go out and put in another good performance in front of 60,000 fans at wembley. i was lucky enough to be there for the germany game when there were 40,000 there. you would have thought there were 140,000. the business what it will

be like on wednesday night. dashes no —— who knows what it will be like on wednesday night? denmark are playing with a lot of heart and a lot of skill, especially after what happened to one of their players, christian eriksen. they will want to go and put in their own performance. it will not be straightforward. and they are such a good side. i was listening to the team, gary, yourself and rio ferdinand, the team are happy to talk about things that happened in the past, something that internationals usually would have said don't touch that we are not talking about that. a press officer would have stepped in if i had asked you a question or louise had asked your question about discrimination, but this team aren“t worried about tackling some of the big issues in

society as well as playing. ibshd tackling some of the big issues in society as well as playing. and they come on and _ society as well as playing. and they come on and they _ society as well as playing. and they come on and they talk— society as well as playing. and they come on and they talk so _ society as well as playing. and they come on and they talk so well- society as well as playing. and they| come on and they talk so well about every subject but again, that's the manager allowing them to do that, to say, that would come from the manager and the press department, and they could say no, it's a bit of and they could say no, it's a bit of a touchy subject and we don't want them talking about it in case they slip up but it's not the case with this england team, the manager is prepared to put his players forward, to give them time to express their own opinion and it might not be the same as everyone else “s but that does not seem to affect any of them and they are so impressive on and off the pitch. filth and they are so impressive on and off the pitch-— and they are so impressive on and off the pitch. on a serious sub'ect, es, and off the pitch. on a serious sub'ect, yes. and emeet i off the pitch. on a serious sub'ect, yes, and ornate non-serious h off the pitch. on a serious subject, | yes, and ornate non-serious subject yes, and ornate non—serious subject they“ve yes, and ornate non—serious subject they've been expressing themselves as well, we“ve shown the pictures, in the pool, with the unicorns, how important is that to let off steam? you“ve important is that to let off steam? you've got to do that, whether it's on the golf course, in the swimming pool on the golf course, in the swimming pool, whatever, you“ve on the golf course, in the swimming pool, whatever, you've got to have fun. these players have been locked

up fun. these players have been locked up now for four or five weeks, and to have a group of 26 players with all the staff, there has to be some light entertainment along the line and that's great to see. again, the manager, he was part of euro 96, he knows what it's like to be camped up in a hotel for that amount of time so he's well aware and would have put preparations in place for them to have some fun in the training camp. to have some fun in the training cam -. ., to have some fun in the training cam . _ ., , ., to have some fun in the training cam. ., , ., , to have some fun in the training cam, ., , ., , ., to have some fun in the training cam. ., , camp. could you put it into context, most people — camp. could you put it into context, most people watching _ camp. could you put it into context, most people watching will _ camp. could you put it into context, most people watching will be - most people watching will be interested in the football, some of them might be casual viewers, some might be getting involved in the tournament so what do you think it would mean to the nation, gareth southgate spoke about wanting people to throw their beer in the air and realise what everyone has been through over the last 18 months. what do you think it would mean if england made the semifinal and got into the final and potentially win the whole thing?—

we are onto something special. i hope that all of the players and gareth can enjoy what they are giving the nation, we got a little bit of hair at their end gareth looks younger!— bit of hair at their end gareth looks younger! allen, finally, i don't know— looks younger! allen, finally, i don't know what _ looks younger! allen, finally, i don't know what you're - looks younger! allen, finally, i don't know what you're like i looks younger! allen, finally, i- don't know what you're like before games like this, do you have lucky shirts, lucky trousers, lucky shorts? “ . shirts, lucky trousers, lucky shorts? “ , , ., shirts, lucky trousers, lucky shorts? fl . shirts, lucky trousers, lucky shorts? �*, ., ., , shirts, lucky trousers, lucky shorts? ., ., , ., shirts, lucky trousers, lucky shorts? �*, ., ., , ., ., shorts? it's you and louise that art miaht shorts? it's you and louise that art might lucky — shorts? it's you and louise that art might lucky charms, _ shorts? it's you and louise that art might lucky charms, that's - shorts? it's you and louise that art might lucky charms, that's why - shorts? it's you and louise that art might lucky charms, that's why i i shorts? it's you and louise that artl might lucky charms, that's why i am on again this morning, not that i'm superstitious but every time i have come on, we have gone on and one so why do you think i am here? see come on, we have gone on and one so why do you think i am here?— why do you think i am here? see you thursday morning! _ why do you think i am here? see you thursday morning! if _ why do you think i am here? see you thursday morning! if we _ why do you think i am here? see you thursday morning! if we win - why do you think i am here? see you thursday morning! if we win on - thursday morning! if we win on wednesday _ thursday morning! if we win on wednesday evening _ thursday morning! if we win on wednesday evening i _ thursday morning! if we win on wednesday evening i will- thursday morning! if we win on - wednesday evening i will apologise for my appearance on thursday morning now, shall i? tt“s for my appearance on thursday morning now, shall i?— for my appearance on thursday morning now, shall i? it's so great to chat to you. _ morning now, shall i? it's so great to chat to you, thank _ morning now, shall i? it's so great to chat to you, thank you - morning now, shall i? it's so great to chat to you, thank you so - morning now, shall i? it's so great to chat to you, thank you so much| to chat to you, thank you so much continue to be the lucky charm. thank you! so great to speak to him, iam thank you! so great to speak to him, i am ready for wednesday. if you are an england fan,

i expect acm cladding will be off buildings by the end of the year. barring a small number of buildings and there are exceptional reasons for this. so the answer is no? a bit more complicated than you are portraying it. some of the buildings were only discovered in the last year or so. london“s e—scooter trial is to be extended to the city of london and northern parts of lambeth from today. the e—scooter rental trial has been running across five boroughs and ca nary wharf. the number of e—scooters available to rent is expected to double. let's take a look at the travel situation now... bakerloo line has severe delays due to a signal failure at lambeth north. another signal failure is affecting the district line — also the piccadilly line. meanwhile, thejubilee line and hammersmith and city line have delays due to train cancellations

and a shortage of trains. now the weather with kate. and a shortage of trains. good morning. and a shortage of trains. low pressure is still in charge of the weather for the next few days. you can see spinning towards us various outbreaks of rain. that has cleared away and we should start to see sunny spells fairly quickly. those sunny spells turning hazy with the introduction of high cloud and sharp showers and temperatures reaching 21 celsius. focusing on wimbledon it should be a dry start with sunny spells. hazy sunny spells this afternoon. temperatures at wimbledon around 20 celsius. this evening and overnight dry to start with but you will notice the cloud will thicken and increase and with it spells of heavy rain in the early hours. the wind will strengthen, becoming blustery by dawn. the minimum between 12 and 14 celsius. yet more spells of rain.

that should start to clear away. sunny spells developing with the risk of one or two showers. things starting to settle down a little bit as we head into thursday. this afternoon, vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. gethin and janette can tell us what's in store. you are obviously very excited. it is the football doing, is it? coming up on today's morning live: as the prime minister gets set to lift lockdown restrictions later today — which includes facemasks becoming a “personal choice“, dr xand will have the latest. is it isita is it a good idea? we'd love to hear from breakfast viewers and hear your thoughts. plus — a quarter of us have

the pair, from the same family, are being treated at a specialist| centre in newcastle. at the time we actually saw our first patients, there was a lot of sleepless nights, not really knowing what was to come and exactly how it will affect us, which i think was, you know. it was a major concern that this would hit us hard. it was an incredibly difficult time because people were dying on their own in their rooms. but the compassion was there and the care was there, and there was always a nurse with the patients as they became more critically unwell. the team in newcastle helped to develop new treatments for covid, which improved outcomes. but dr price will never be able to forget having to tell loved ones terrible news. the first phone calls that i made had a huge impact. it was very, very emotional. it became clear that these phone calls were going to need to be happening, you know, constantly by many, many, many people all over the country. and it was the realisation that that was what was going to be

happening, that hit me very hard, hit me like a tonne a ton of bricks when i when i made those first phone calls. it was quite scary. i've never been to a hospital before. it was the first time and i was frightened because i never had no—one with me and i didn't know what was going to happen. eva was 27 weeks pregnant when she became ill. doctors were worried that both mother and baby wouldn't make it. we had a video call with eva. how is your breathing? 0k? she can speak loud, but she was thumbs up and saying, 0k. about an hour later, i had a phone call from the hospital and the doctor saying, "oh, she's induced coma." and it was quite horrible. sorry. eva spent five days in a coma. weeks and weeks in hospital, her tiny daughter born

three months premature, but with extraordinary help from nurses and doctors, both were eventually able to come home. i don't know how to thank them. they were wonderful. honestly, they looked after me really well. obviously, i recovered because of them and they did what they could to save my life. ifind it a great honour to do, i really do. i think it's lovely to be able to help other people. i get a lot of pleasure out of that, and especially to see the smiling faces. roy is 83, a former royal marine. he's been volunteering throughout the pandemic. like every other marine, you“re injected with determination and it never leaves you. if i start something, i'll see it through. i never give in.

i'm a very, very determined guy. roy lost his wife esther last year. he says fellow volunteers helped him through. we were married 58 years. we were in our 59th year. yeah. it's been amazing. real comradeship. wonderful. volunteers, patients, medical staff. all will be recognised and thanked at today's service. graham satchell, bbc news. there“s there's so much to talk about today. we will be speaking to the prime minister later about whether restrictions will be lifted. we“re joined now by professor stephen reicher, a behavioural pyschologist, and advisor to the uk and scottish governments on covid—19.

let's talk about what we are expecting to hear today in a real change in restrictions being lifted on july the change in restrictions being lifted onjuly the 19th. change in restrictions being lifted on july the 19th.— on july the 19th. what hearing is that the government _ on july the 19th. what hearing is that the government is - on july the 19th. what hearing is that the government is going i on july the 19th. what hearing is that the government is going to | on july the 19th. what hearing is i that the government is going to get readable measures and made the entire responsibility of dealing with the pandemic on what they call personal responsibility. let me start by saying, absolutely i agree that people have got to exercise responsibly. not personal responsibility. we have to act in ways to keep family safe and the communities safe. notjust acting for ourselves but acting for others we have got through this. it is a pity to change this. how can people exercise personal responsibility and social responsibility? the first thing we need to know how to act is

to have information about what is going on so we know what we need to do. one problem at the moment with the government messaging as it seems to be saying things are all over, it is up to you whether you want to wear a mask or not wear a mask. we would not say that with magazines. we would not say, it is up to you whether you want to get vaccinated or not vaccinated. this is crucial, a segment really important. in crowded and stuffy places, things like wearing a mask i really important. the message is undermining any action. the second thing is to give people resources that are necessary. to take an obvious example, if you want people to self isolated, it is really important to break the chain of transmission. it is not enough to take responsibility, we have to support people and give them the resources they need. the government saying it is over to you, we are not

going to take our own responsibilities to support people. the final thing, this is an area where my freedom affects your freedom. it is like driving. my freedom. it is like driving. my freedom to drive fast affects your safety. my freedom not to wear a mask affects your safety in terms of not getting covid. with areas like that we recognise we do need some of regulation. there are speed limits to curtail my freedom to harm you and i think it is reasonable to have, not lockdown but proportionate measures to keep us safe in our family safe and keep communities safe. i think we need to ink in a more rounded way about responsibility and notjust handing over to the public but government taking its responsibility seriously in partnership with the public and thatis in partnership with the public and that is the way to get through this pandemic and what has served us well so far. ., , .,

messaging. the most powerful messages sent is by saying this is so important we are going to regulate about it. to take away the regulations is in dangerfrom taking a stand from the 80%, 90% of people who still wear facemasks in a stand from the 80%, 90% of people who still wearfacemasks in public in crowded places. the danger is that plummets back down to around 20% or so, we are in trouble, individually and as a society. you cannot separate apology from the messaging the policy is the messaging. 50 messaging the policy is the messaging-— messaging the policy is the messaging. messaging the policy is the messauuin. ., , , ., , messaging. so many people had been vaccinated. this _ messaging. so many people had been vaccinated. this is _ messaging. so many people had been vaccinated. this is why _ messaging. so many people had been vaccinated. this is why we _ messaging. so many people had been vaccinated. this is why we can - messaging. so many people had been vaccinated. this is why we can do - vaccinated. this is why we can do this, we can afford to be able to do this. ~ . . this, we can afford to be able to do this, 2 ,, ., this, we can afford to be able to do this. 2 ,, ., ., ., ,, ., this. we passed a landmark at the end of last — this. we passed a landmark at the end of last week. _ this. we passed a landmark at the end of last week. it _ this. we passed a landmark at the end of last week. it was _ this. we passed a landmark at the end of last week. it was not - end of last week. it was not noticed. we went about 50% of the population. that is wonderful but it still means 50% of the population are not vaccinated. it still means there is a huge reservoir where the

virus can circulate. it is true that vaccination has not weakened the link between infection and hospitalisation and death, it has not got rid of it stop if we have enough people infected, millions and millions of people being infected, at the moment the levels of infection are really spiking. we have more infections in this country than the whole of the ec. if you have a very large number of people who are infected, you are still going to have consequences in terms of hospitalisations and in terms of deaths. we are beginning to see hospitalisations going up. that is not to talk at all about long covert and so on, a large number of infections actually matters. —— long covid. we are getting close to a point where vaccination would keep a segment we would have enough people vaccinated to be relatively safe

with sensible public health measures. why are we changing to suddenly listing all the protections and going towards achieving immunity through infection by people? —— lifting. it seems odd to have all the swiss with infection when vaccination is doing itsjob to keep people safe. tt vaccination is doing its “0b to keep people not people safe. if the date was changed. — people safe. if the date was changed. you _ people safe. if the date was changed, you would - people safe. if the date was changed, you would be - people safe. if the date wasl changed, you would be much people safe. if the date was _ changed, you would be much happier? what i want to see, and this is a problem with the whole debate. when people hear measures when they hear restrictions. i am talking about support and restrictions. you should increase support and clarity of information to get people support in terms of self isolation are making sure public spaces are properly ventilated. that is the issue. my real fear, ventilated. that is the issue. my realfear, when ventilated. that is the issue. my real fear, when the government says take your responsibility seriously,

they are talking about taking a simple and taking away from their own responsibilities. for that to work we need a responsible government as well.- work we need a responsible government as well. good to talk to ou as government as well. good to talk to you as ever- — government as well. good to talk to you as ever. professor _ government as well. good to talk to you as ever. professor of _ government as well. good to talk to you as ever. professor of social - you as ever. professor of social psychology at the university of st andrew's. thank you. thank you for being with us. sally is outside wembley already. she is in the zone for wednesday and the other semifinal on tuesday. a huge week ahead. really important. some great pictures we have had from the england camp in the last few hours to give an indication of how that squad is feeling at the moment. a massive game at the weekend. are they tense and looking ahead to the semifinal? no, they are relaxing in the pool. the england squad has been spending its free time messing about a bit, unicorns in the swimming

pool a bit, unicorns in the swimming pool, doing proper warm down. a bit, unicorns in the swimming pool, doing properwarm down. some of the squad have not been training. isn“t of the squad have not been training. isn't it brilliant to see that is the frame of mind for gareth southgate“s men at the moment? really relaxed and enjoying themselves. if you speak to any of themselves. if you speak to any of the squad, they will tell you southgate sets the tone in the camp and that is what we are seeing now. we are seeing are reflected in the pictures released in the last few hours. not sure they will be feeling quite so relaxed, maybe they will, on wednesday as they approach the against denmark. just across town from where i am right now, a big day of sport. wimbledon fans will be hoping the fairy tale continues for emma raducanu as she battles for a place in the quarterfinals. let's speak to former british number one laura robson.

laura, good morning. when you see emma at the moment, how familiar is this story stop does it remind you of what you went through as a player? th of what you went through as a -la er? ,2, of what you went through as a -la er? , ., ., , , of what you went through as a laer? .,, of what you went through as a laer? ., , ., player? in some ways it does, and in other ways — player? in some ways it does, and in other ways i — player? in some ways it does, and in other ways i think— player? in some ways it does, and in other ways i think it's _ player? in some ways it does, and in other ways i think it's a _ player? in some ways it does, and in other ways i think it's a very - other ways i think it's a very strange year, players are quite removed from the situation, they are in that covid bubble and emma is finishing her matches and her practices are not really coming into contact with anyone. even hearst press conference, she is in the main press conference, she is in the main press conference, she is in the main press conference room but it's all over zoom so i don't think she understands yetjust how big this story has become over the last few days, especially after her performance on saturday, she was outstanding from start to finish. i think she's got a big wake—up call coming when she leaves the bubble but in a good way, i think she deserves it and has worked really hard to be in the foreground. that’s hard to be in the foreground. that's really interesting. _

hard to be in the foreground. that's really interesting. would _ hard to be in the foreground. that's really interesting. would you - hard to be in the foreground. that's really interesting. would you say i really interesting. would you say perhaps the restrictions at the moment, the fact she is in that bubble might be helping her a little? t bubble might be helping her a little? ~' bubble might be helping her a little? ~ , ~ , little? i think so. yes, i think she will be fine _ little? i think so. yes, i think she will be fine regardless _ little? i think so. yes, i think she will be fine regardless but - little? i think so. yes, i think she will be fine regardless but i - little? i think so. yes, i think she will be fine regardless but i think| will be fine regardless but i think it helps to have that sort of end of the day and you switch off, i'm sure her social media is exploding and obviously she would know that because she's been on instagram over the weekend and stop, she's probably getting so many messages but in terms of pressure, when you're walking from the practice court to the match caught and you are surrounded in a usual year by fans, depressed, photographers, she would not have that this year so i it“s not have that this year so i it's probably quite nice but i'm sure she is still under so much pressure, especially going into today but in terms of ranking, she is the underdog still so if she can play as freely as she did on saturday who knows? we might have a massive story on our hands! haida

knows? we might have a massive story on our hands!— on our hands! how good is she? how do ou on our hands! how good is she? how do you rate — on our hands! how good is she? how do you rate your— on our hands! how good is she? how do you rate your chances _ on our hands! how good is she? how do you rate your chances this - do you rate your chances this afternoon? t do you rate your chances this afternoon?— do you rate your chances this afternoon? i think she's really iood. i afternoon? i think she's really good- i think _ afternoon? i think she's really good. i think we _ afternoon? i think she's really good. i think we all— afternoon? i think she's really good. i think we all get - afternoon? i think she's really good. i think we all get ahead| afternoon? i think she's really i good. i think we all get ahead of ourselves as well, because she is still so young, she absolutely needs time to grow as a player, she's only just started on the main tour, this is her first just started on the main tour, this is herfirst grand slam tournament ever. she“s is herfirst grand slam tournament ever. she's going to have ups and downs and things like that but we just need to give her space because she has a long career ahead of her and she is a fantastic player, an amazing attitude, as we saw in the last couple of matches. it“s amazing attitude, as we saw in the last couple of matches. it's just such a wonderful ball from the back of the court so i'm excited about her, she's a great girl, works really hard on the courts, in the gymnasium, she can go as far as she puts her mind to, really, but i don't think we should put the expectation on her ourselves. really interestin: expectation on her ourselves. really interesting to _ expectation on her ourselves. really interesting to hear— expectation on her ourselves. really interesting to hear you _ expectation on her ourselves. really interesting to hear you say - expectation on her ourselves. really interesting to hear you say that - interesting to hear you say that because i don't know if you heard pat cash talking at the weekend saying to the british media and the

public, please don't put emma under this order pressure that we put laura robson under. what was that like for you? tt laura robson under. what was that like for you?— like for you? it was a lot, it was a lot and i think _ like for you? it was a lot, it was a lot and i think once _ like for you? it was a lot, it was a lot and i think once you _ like for you? it was a lot, it was a lot and i think once you have - like for you? it was a lot, it was a lot and i think once you have one | lot and i think once you have one good result at this level, then people expect you to be able to make that week in and week out and it's only certain players who are able to do that. you see the people at the top of the game had bad weeks and of course someone who is only 18 will probably have more bad weeks than good weeks but as long as she continues to improve on the practice court, and she works really hard, that's a massively good sign, then just give her some room and she will figure it out. she“s just give her some room and she will figure it out. she's got a great time with her, a really experienced coach and hopefully if they stay together a long time they will learn together a long time they will learn together and grow as a team. you know, you just need to give her some breathing room, in a way and even if she wins today, and i know we are all going to be excited, myself

included, yes, she is going to have to drop back down to challenge at level anyway because of the ranking she is out. of course she is going to have some bad matches but i am still really excited by her, i think she's got a great chance today. there aren't many people in this country qualified at this point to give her advice so some words of advice for emma going into today! t advice for emma going into today! i don't think she needs it, she's advice for emma going into today! t don't think she needs it, she's done such an amazing job already. i know her coach has so much experience at this level so he will have given her advice already but the way she handled herself on saturday was amazing. she engaged the crowd, from 3-1 amazing. she engaged the crowd, from 3—1 down in the percent she looked like she made the decision to enjoy the experience and she is back on court number one, she handled herself beautifully out there. maybe a bit less pressure than centre court. in terms of ranking, experience, she is massively still the underdog. if she can keep that

same energy that we have seen in the first couple of matches, then yes, she does not need my advice! laura, so treat she does not need my advice! laura, so great to — she does not need my advice! laura, so great to catch _ she does not need my advice! laura, so great to catch up _ she does not need my advice! laura, so great to catch up with _ she does not need my advice! laura, so great to catch up with you - she does not need my advice! laura, so great to catch up with you and - so great to catch up with you and thank you so much. laura robson. talking about what could be a potentially incredible match this afternoon for emma raducanu at wimbledon. emma keeping it in the family, she has a great mentor, she is coached by andy murray “s father—in—law so i think she is getting a few words of advice. she had a hit last week with andy, so she's been very well looked after. dan and louise. i need a diary to work out winterwatch.— dan and louise. i need a diary to work out winterwatch. what to watch, when, who work out winterwatch. what to watch, when. who is — work out winterwatch. what to watch, when. who is on _ work out winterwatch. what to watch, when, who is on where. _ work out winterwatch. what to watch, when, who is on where. i _ work out winterwatch. what to watch, when, who is on where. i might - work out winterwatch. what to watch, when, who is on where. i might get i when, who is on where. i might get allen to do — when, who is on where. i might get allen to do the _ when, who is on where. i might get allen to do the weather, _ when, who is on where. i might get allen to do the weather, he - when, who is on where. i might get allen to do the weather, he is - when, who is on where. i might get allen to do the weather, he is on i allen to do the weather, he is on more than r carol kirkwood at the moment! good morning! this morning, such a beautiful start in newquay in cornwall. the focus for many of us

todayis cornwall. the focus for many of us today is scattered and heavy showers, sunny spells. that sums it up. what is happening is we have this with a front which produced flash flooding in edinburgh yesterday, moving northwards with heavy showers but later, we have another potent area of low pressure coming from the south—west. you see this morning, quite a lot of rain or showers on the radar. some of them moving away, some of them drifting further north. the rain this morning has already cleared the south—east so for england, wales, northern ireland, there will be sunshine today, fewer showers as we head into the afternoon but still if you are knocking around, in scotland, showers moving north, where you see green or yellow that tells you you could expect heavy bursts and rain pushing into the far north. rain coming in across the south—west and channel islands. temperatures today 14-22 . if channel islands. temperatures today 14—22 . if you are heading to wimbledon, it should stay dry for much of the day, pleasant

temperatures, 20 degrees, 68 in fahrenheit, later on we see the rain pushing into the south—west, spreading the north—east. pollen levels today are high. that“s across much of england, though to moderate across the rest of the country. through this evening watch what happens, we have this low pressure coming from the south—west, just slowly meandering north—east and at the same time, our first with a friend continuing to push north. here“s these showers across cotton, the rain clearing the far north, some showers into northern ireland and then we had this spiral of rain coming from the south, some of that will be heavy and thundery. temperatures ranging from 12—15 , not a cold night but one thing you will notice is it will be windy, gusty winds across southern areas, especially through the english channel, they could be higher than this and into the south—east. with trees in full leaf this may lead to some disruption with falling trees or branches. heading through

tomorrow, the low pressure drifts up the east coast, eventually getting into north east scotland, lots of dry weather, still some showers, some of the emerging to give longer spells of rain. that“s across northern ireland, parts of wales, and the south—west. temperatures tomorrow 15—19 . down a touch on what we are looking at today. tuesday into wednesday, this low pressure drifts north, you see this ridge of high pressure waiting in the wings, that will settle things down but it won't be bone dry as we go through the next few days. areas of cloud, some sunshine, but also some showers knocking around as well! dan and louise.— some showers knocking around as well! dan and louise. thank you so much. well! dan and louise. thank you so much- see — well! dan and louise. thank you so much- see you _ well! dan and louise. thank you so much. see you again _ well! dan and louise. thank you so much. see you again tomorrow. i well! dan and louise. thank you so i much. see you again tomorrow. have well! dan and louise. thank you so - much. see you again tomorrow. have a lovely mandate- _ much. see you again tomorrow. have a lovely mandate. and _ much. see you again tomorrow. have a lovely mandate. and you _ much. see you again tomorrow. have a lovely mandate. and you don't - much. see you again tomorrow. have a lovely mandate. and you don't get - much. see you again tomorrow. have a lovely mandate. and you don't get a i lovely mandate. and you don't get a lion tomorrow, alan shearer is not doing the weather! blast! over the last five years, the rspca has received almost 100,000 reports of cruelty to animals — with the summer often being their busiest time investigating cases. last month, four puppies made

the headlines after they were cruelly abandoned by a river. luckily, they were rescued — and are now on the road to recovery at a shelter in woking, where our reporter luxmy gopaljoins us now. good morning! good morning to both of you. _ good morning! good morning to both of you, good morning, everyone, this isjean. _ of you, good morning, everyone, this isjean. one _ of you, good morning, everyone, this isjean. one of— of you, good morning, everyone, this isjean, one of four puppies found abandoned — isjean, one of four puppies found abandoned in a bag bya river nearby — abandoned in a bag bya river nearby. and it's incredible to think anyone _ nearby. and it's incredible to think anyone could do that to a puppy as cute as— anyone could do that to a puppy as cute as this — anyone could do that to a puppy as cute as this but the rspca has dealt with100,000 cute as this but the rspca has dealt with 100,000 reports of deliberate cruelty— with 100,000 reports of deliberate cruelty over the past five years and i've cruelty over the past five years and i've been— cruelty over the past five years and i've been speaking to the owner of a do-, i've been speaking to the owner of a dog. max. _ i've been speaking to the owner of a dog. max. a — i've been speaking to the owner of a dog, max, a terrier cross who has been _ dog, max, a terrier cross who has been a _ dog, max, a terrier cross who has been a victim of intentional cruelty. _ been a victim of intentional cruelty, so not accidental, not neglect. — cruelty, so not accidental, not neglect, but intentional cruelty. listen— neglect, but intentional cruelty. listen to — neglect, but intentional cruelty. listen to his story. good boy. cuddles, treats and playtime, everything man's best friend deserves, but a year ago, max“s life was very different. we received a report from somebody

that had overheard someone bragging that they'd just beaten up their dog. so they made the call to us. we attended the address with the police. can you open the door, please, sir? it's the police. and that's when we found max terrified, covered in blood and badly injured. there's a lot of blood here, sir. yeah. on the floor. do you know what that's from? evidence at the scene suggested max had been beaten with a metal colander. he was rescued and cared for at the rspca york animal home, which oversees recovery, rehabilitation and rehoming. this was a willing act of cruelty. he willfully submitted max to terrible injuries and an appalling act of violence. and we... as long as we've been here, i don't think we'll ever understand what goes through people's minds. rspca inspectors say they're seeing a rise in deliberate acts of cruelty, especially in summer months. it“s possibly because the weather's

better, the days are longer. people are spending more time outside, so it gives them more chance to see things and report it to us. over the past five years, the rspca has received the equivalent of 10,000 reports of intentional animal cruelty every six months, with a spike lastjuly when more than 1,500 incidents were reported in that month alone. max was left with a fractured pelvis and dislocated hip. over months, his health and confidence was rebuilt. we were overwhelmed, really, at how forgiving he was. mainly, an animal that's gone through what he went through really had the right not to never trust people again, but he did. and he's living his best life now. dogs are always rewarding but particularly having a dog who's had the experience that he's had, to see him come through and come out the other end and be a happy, healthy dog and want to be — have this contact with me and want to be sort of part

of a normal life, i thinkjust makes it even more so. and, as a special treat, a reunion with the staff who turned his life around. good boy. he was probably one of the worst ones i've seen. just, like, the injuries. to see him bounce back like he has, yeah, he's a cracking little dog. to see him this happy. you know, it's why we do what we do, really. it just makes everything worthwhile. the idea of deliberate animal cruelty seems almost incomprehensible. but at least this tale has a happy ending, with max shaking off his past trauma and finding an owner worthy of his loyalty. really great to see max make that recovery— really great to see max make that recovery and lets speak to the deputy — recovery and lets speak to the deputy manager here, liz, has been
