good morning. it's wednesday. welcome to bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are your headlines... can england reach theirfirst major final for over half a century? they�*re preparing right now to take on denmark in their euros semifinal tonight at wembley, bobby moore lifted the world cup back in 1966. can england take another step closer to erasing some painful england memories of the last 55 years? 60,000 are expected at wembley. millions more of us will be a friends�*, at home, in the pub... the band of the coldstream guards have been showing their support.

whoever wins, will face italy — that's after they beat spain in late night penalties at wembley. if you're an england supporter, how are you feeling? let me know... please don't say it's coming home cos it's tempting fate. also today — british airways and virgin are to trial fast—track lanes at heathrow airport, for passengers who are fully vaccinated against covid—19. the mother of two women who were stabbed to death last year, says she fears the man who took her daughters�* lives will become a killing machine in prison. it's the worst thing that has happened to you. you have the result, but you still don't have your daughters. and so, there is no peace.

england are hoping to make history tonight, when they play denmark in the semifinals of the euros. if they win, they'll face italy in their first major final since 1966. 0lly foster looks ahead to the big match. this england team don't like to dwell on the past. the history hurts. but they can afford to look back at the last three weeks as a job very well done. commentator: then plays it into sterling! _ the rise of raheem sterling, his first goals at a major tournament took them to the top of their group. in comes the captain! harry kane joined the party quite late, but what an entrance that was against germany. pickford who saves it.

what a good hand. they haven't conceded a goal yet. mason mount with the corner. there's another one. and then that game in rome against ukraine. four goals to send them hurtling into the home straight on a wave of belief for their return to wembley tonight in front of 60,000 fans. we are very excited about the game, that's for sure. and we know that we are going to have tremendous support throughout the country, so that's a great feeling for us. i think we are ready for the game. i think the players are ready. they have tremendous experience now themselves, having been in this situation before. england reached the world cup semifinals three years ago in russia. they seem much better equipped and stronger as a squad going into this one, although denmark will be tough opponents. what an emotional, inspirational tournament they've had. their star player, christian eriksen, collapsed

on the pitch with a cardiac arrest during their first match. from fearing the worst, they are now playing every game for him as he recovers at home. good hit, good goal. we try to fight the best we have learnt through these emotions. we have played fantastic football. we have shown who we are. i am very proud of these boys. i am very proud of the people of denmark, the support and love and compassion we've been given. england are also feeding off theirfans. the thousands in wembley, the millions watching and listening. and they want to give something back. they have been exceptionally solid. they have got better as the tournament's progressed. beating germany, i think, was big mental block to overcome, perhaps. and then an almost perfect performance in the quarterfinals against ukraine. the prize is so close and, of course, england have fallen at this hurdle before.

but this team is all about rewriting, not repeating, history. 0lly foster, bbc news, wembley. sally nugent is at wembley. who are you with this morning? that is gareth who are you with this morning? twat is gareth southgate, the man you want in a crisis. i think he can handle it. and also harry kane, perhaps also the man for a crisis. mr dependable. he had his doubters earlier in the tournament when he was not scoring goals. he has proved them wrong. can he go even further tonight? you would not bet against that. really interesting, we have been on wembley way the last few mornings and through the tournament and there is something about today, it feels really different, it is

much busier. the people from the flats have been coming out and having a chat. they are going to watch on their balconies tonight. uefa officials have gone in already to get through the cheques. it's like something massive is happening and i know last night's game was incredible but today, for us here, this feels like sending specialist happening. just 11 hours to wait. gareth southgate, you would want him in a crisis, but not the kind of crisis there was at euro 96. but now it does not rely crisis was the inland team are so different. the spirit is different. there are players from west ham and leeds and that feels like it makes a difference. they have not conceded a goal. they have a great spirit and home advantage and humility. what could possibly go wrong? don’t home advantage and humility. what could possibly go wrong?— could possibly go wrong? don't say! i am auoin could possibly go wrong? don't say! i am going to _ could possibly go wrong? don't say! i am going to add — could possibly go wrong? don't say! i am going to add one _ could possibly go wrong? don't say! i am going to add one thought - could possibly go wrong? don't say! i am going to add one thought to i i am going to add one thought to what you havejust i am going to add one thought to what you have just said, i i am going to add one thought to what you havejust said, i can i am going to add one thought to what you have just said, i can tell you this, from talking to players

inside the camp and throughout the build—up, they love gareth southgate. they love playing for him. , ., ., ., , ., , him. they are not the only ones! the are him. they are not the only ones! they are not. — him. they are not the only ones! they are not, are _ him. they are not the only ones! they are not, are they? - him. they are not the only ones! they are not, are they? and - him. they are not the only ones! | they are not, are they? and they love playing for him and going to an england camp and in the past, i had been at various tournaments over the years, there are moments where you could sense that the england players did not perhaps enjoy being there. whether that was the mood, the management, the personalities, whether they did not gel, all sorts of different reasons, but genuinely, if you ask these young players in the squad right now how they feel about going to an england camp, they love it. they have had a tremendously busy premier league season. they all were absolutely fired up to come to this camp and thatis fired up to come to this camp and that is because of gareth. it is because... yes, 0k, that is because of gareth. it is because... yes, ok, let's talk about 96. he has been through the crisis and knows how to recover from 96. he has been through the crisis and knows how to recoverfrom it was could this be his redemption? i am not going to talk about that too soon. but this man has been through the worst of it and he has been

protecting them all from what he went through. and they are now in this kind of bubble of all bubbles. there is nothing getting to them. they will not be paying too much attention to all of this noise. they will be looking forward to tonight, genuinely excited for the game. another thought to add to what you have said, being happy to play for gareth southgate and england, i have covered a few tournaments and i remember terry butcher saying to me in 2002 injapan, there will be some players who will be pleased not to be picked because then they won't be able to mess up and that really shocked me. because terry butcher was never that kind of character. but that was 2002. we have come a long way. but but that was 2002. we have come a lona wa . �* . but that was 2002. we have come a lonuwa. �* ., , but that was 2002. we have come a lonawa.�* ., , but that was 2002. we have come a lonawa.�* ., ., long way. but that takes you back to those tournaments, _ long way. but that takes you back to those tournaments, that _ long way. but that takes you back to those tournaments, that in - long way. but that takes you back to those tournaments, that in those . those tournaments, that in those kind of last decades where we have covered, where you could sense that russia and the pressure from the press as well was enormous on the squad —— that pressure. there are

times over the years when the players and manager did not communicate in the right way and it did not work. these lads... gareth southgate said at the weekend he was more concerned about the players who had not played about talking to them, making sure that they were happy, than he was necessarily about the team on the pitch, getting the job done brilliantly. he treats everybody the same. he is looking after everybody, whether they are his starting team are whether they are the players who might come on later on or whether there are players who are not going to get a game tonight. players who are not going to get a game tonight-— with me is kunal sapat from the supporters group block 109, based at the home end at wembley. he'll be there this evening supporting england. and england fan lynda courts from redditch will also be at the match tonight — she and her husband peter went to all of england's group games. and i'm alsojoined by humayun islam, founder of the bangla bantams, a football fan group based in bradford.

is ok and thanks to people that helped him get through that. but it is like it is their way is at hand you are wondering if there is something there. is it that the danish team are going to be doing it just for him? that puts the pressure on as even more. you have got the whole world in a way behind denmark. it is notjust the danish, it is so money other people that are thinking, let's do it for christian eriksen. and you are thinking, we are the ones up against them and we have got to beat them. it is a tough one. but you feel for denmark at the same time. we have got to do it for england and the fans after what everybody has gone through with covid, the year everyone has been through. it covid, the year everyone has been throuth. ., .,, covid, the year everyone has been throuth. ., ., through. if england lose tonight, does it still— through. if england lose tonight, does it still count _ through. if england lose tonight, does it still count as _ through. if england lose tonight, does it still count as success? i l does it still count as success? i think it has to be seen as a

lucy, some of the danish royal family are coming here, even though denmark fans are not allowed to. yes, there has been quite a lot of disappointment about the fact that most fans cannot get over to the uk, mainly because of covid restrictions. 0ne paper this morning saying it is the biggest affront to denmark since the british navy attack open haven in 1807, slightly in the sun —— slightly tongue in cheek. you get the idea. you can see these flags are out and the fan zones are ready. you will be lucky to get a ticket for any of the big events in the cities. and you can kinda understand it. it is a nation of 5 million people football team is playing england tonight in a semifinal and they had on it without their star player. lots of emotion, lots of sense that this is a really strong team and that denmark can do what it did in 92 and surprise the world and go all the way.-

there is a feeling that after failing to qualify for the world cup in 2018 for the first time in 60 years, now roberto mancini, the former manchester city manager who came in to manage the italian football team, hasjust came in to manage the italian football team, has just completely rejuvenated the team and transform the image of it, transform the youth of it, given italians back the love that they once had for their national team and they are sensing victory, they are hoping that they can lift the trophy on sunday night for the first time in a european championships since 1968. find for the first time in a european championships since 1968. and in terms of the _ championships since 1968. and in terms of the nerves _ championships since 1968. and in terms of the nerves that - championships since 1968. and in terms of the nerves that must - championships since 1968. and in i terms of the nerves that must have been shredded across the country with a penalty shoot—out, goodness! absolutely and especially so because they remember the dark days of 2012 when they were thrashed in the euro 2012 final by spain, 4—0. they also lost to spain on penalties, they

call the mediterranean derby really, these southern european titans who came together to battle it out and it was a thriller a match. when italy scored, they dared to dream and then spain equalised and then it came back to that nail—biting penalty shoot—out. italy has really brought the team together that also brought the team together that also brought this country together under the leadership of roberto mancini. a very charismatic and loved figure. this country is often a place where regional identities supersede national ones. you might feel you are sicilian orfrom national ones. you might feel you are sicilian or from northern national ones. you might feel you are sicilian orfrom northern italy. at 16 italians have come together under the italian flag, it is not a flag—waving country, that has echoes of fascism, the italian flag, but you go around the city and you can see the pride and joy. they think it will be italy. i think —— they think it'll be england they will play at wembley for we will to see what

# never stopped me dreaming. we are going to talk about some other news this morning. two of the world's biggest airlines are going to trial fast—track lanes at heathrow airport for passengers arriving in the uk who ve been fully—vaccinated. the scheme involving ba and virgin comes as the aviation industry calls for quarantine—free travel to the uk from lower—risk amber list countries. it's hoped the results will show the government that vaccine status checks can be completed quickly and easily. i'm joined now by daniel pearce. he's the ceo of the travel trade gazette, a weekly newspaper for the travel industry. 0ur day going to be able to get people through quickly and easily? it seems like a very sensible move actually. yes, ithink it seems like a very sensible move

the travel and the aviation industries, since the beginning of the crisis. often we have seen news dribbling out through other channels, with little consultation with the travel industry. that has got a little bit better in recent months, we saw the global travel taskforce, that resulted in the traffic light system, but there is still evidence that consumers are confused by the traffic light system and the more that we can simplify things, with these new rules, the better for some industries that are really on their knees at the moment. thank you very much. thank you for talking to us. one of india's most accomplished and respected film stars, dilip kumar, has died at the age of 98. born as yusuf khan, he acted in more than 60 films — some of his best known ones included devdas, andaz and mughal—e—azam. he was nicknamed �*the tragedy king' and won the highest awards in the country.

prime minister narenda modi said he will be remembered as a cinematic legend. now it's time for a look at the weather with carole. hello again. as we go through the next few days, the forecast once again is one of sunshine and showers and some of the showers will be heavy and thundery. today, we have got a fair bit of cloud across the north east, producing some showers. today's heaviest showers will be in northern england, wales, the midlands and in and around lincolnshire. but they are showers, not all of us will catch one, but they could be torrential and have some rumbles of thunder mixed in with them. now, this evening and overnight, many of those showers will tend to fade, we will see some clear skies develop with some mist and fog patches and thicker cloud moving in across western scotland and northern ireland, and here, that will be thick enough for some drizzle.

but it is not going to be cold, most of us staying in double figures. tomorrow, we start off with all this cloud in the north and the west, still producing some drizzle here and there. but there will be quite a bit of sunshine around tomorrow with fewer showers. they'll be well scattered, but if you catch one, it could be torrential, slow—moving and thundery, with highs of 23. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... can england reach theirfirst major final for over half a century? they're preparing right now to take on denmark in their euros semifinal tonight at wembley, geoff hurst's hat—trick helped england to the world cup back in 1966. can gareth southgate's team take another step closer to erasing those 55 years of hurt since? 60,000 are expected at wembley. millions more of us will be at a friends, at home, in the pub. also today — british airways

and virgin are to trial fast—track lanes at heathrow airport for passengers who are fully vaccinated against covid—i9. the mum of two women who were stabbed to death last year says she fears the man who took her daughters�* lives will become a killing machine in prison. it's the worst thing that has happened to you. you have the result, but you still don't have your daughters. and so, there is no peace. sport, and let's go to sally at wembley. good morning. we are on wembley way. england take on denmark at eight p denied. can we keep at this level of

excitement? all 26 squad members trained at st georges park yesterday before heading south, and there's been a real unity among them throughout their campaign. you can feel it throughout the campaign. the question is, can they exceed their achievement of three years ago, when they reached the semis at the world cup? we've got a fantastic squad. notjust the team that play, everyone who's in the fold, everyone who has been with us throughout the journey. and, obviously, we've had great clean sheets in this tournament. our aim is to try to get another one. obviously, there is a lot of talk going into the semifinal and there is a chance for us, obviously, to go one step further than what we did in russia in 2018. so it's a great opportunity for us to go and achieve that. we have heard it again and again that football is coming home. you hear it around here and our a lot.

denmark really take issue with that. listen to what kasper schmeichel said in the press conference. sorry, we cannot bring that at the moment. and whoever makes it through later will play italy in sunday's final. there was an incredible atmosphere here last night, as they beat spain on penalties. here's our sports correspondent natalie pirks. it may be a song about being ready to die, but the way the italians sing, it gives you life. commentator: no accident that gusto is an italian word, is it? _ spain and italy have enjoyed some ding—dongs over the years and this match was no exception. the italians did not have to wait long to get off their seats. spain saved first by the post, then the flag. commentator: it was offside, anyway. but spain soon took a tactical hold. the question is — could they make the most of it? his face said it all.

this was entertaining stuff — for neutrals at least. spain were matching italy for tempo, but needed to make their possession count. nearly, nearly, nearly. italy were still dangerous on the counter and this was devastating. federico chiesa taking the roof off with this thing of beauty. spain quickly had a chance to make amends. oyarzabal couldn't miss this time, surely? missed it! he would play no further part in the match, but substitute morata was about to prove his worth. spain are level! game on. extra time came and spain were asking all the questions. nail biting, or is that flag biting times forfans? like so often before, the teams could not be separated. hugs, but who'd be the penalty hero? first up was italy. but spain did not fare much better. with all equal after four, morata stepped up for the spaniards. leaving jorginho a mere skip away

from italian immortality. for intensity, for tempo, for quality, this match had it all. denmark or england have a job on their hands. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. but a penalty that was! an incredible end. away from the euros, emma raducanu says her run she really did light up the time and, but she was forced to retire with breathing problems. but she was smiling again soon afterwards. i think that it was a combination of, you know, everything that has gone on behind—the—scenes in the last week and accumulation of the excitement, the buzz and, you know, i think it's a great learning experience

for me going forwards. it's a great step forward and now next time hopefully i'll be better prepared. it's been the best week of my life, honestly. raducanu's withdrawal sent ajla tomljanovic through, but she didn't make it into the semi—final. she was beaten by her fellow australian, world number one ash barty, who needed just over an hour to reach the last four at wimbledon for the first time. barty will play the 2018 champion angelique kerber tomorrow. and number two seed aryna sabalenka reached her maiden grand slam semifinal with a straight—sets win over ons jabeur. she'll take on karolina pliskova for a place in the final. it's men's quarterfinals day — and among those in action is hubert hurkacz, who knocked out daniil medvedev yesterday in their rain—interrupted match. he takes on roger federer.

mark cavendish is nowjust one stage win away from equalling the all—time record at the tour de france. he picked up his third win of this year's tour on stage ten. if he can make it through today's tough mountain stage, he'll get the chance to equal the mark held by legend eddy merckx, of 3a wins. defending champion tadej pogacar retained his overall lead. what a busy day at the start. and plenty more to look forward to today. that's all the sport for now. former sunderland and aston villa striker kevin phillipsjoins me now. he was in the england squad for the euros back in the year 2000, alongside none other than gareth southgate! actually, did you play? iwas covering that. did you command? i cannot remember, sorry. h0. covering that. did you command? i cannot remember, sorry.— cannot remember, sorry. no, i didn't. cannot remember, sorry. no, i didn't- i— cannot remember, sorry. no, i didn't- i had — cannot remember, sorry. no, i didn't. i hadjust_ cannot remember, sorry. no, i didn't. i had just come - cannot remember, sorry. no, i didn't. i had just come off - cannot remember, sorry. no, i didn't. i had just come off the l cannot remember, sorry. no, i- didn't. i had just come off the back of my first season in the premier

belief in each other and harry kane epitomises what england is all about, a leader, but when you look around the squad and in depth, they are full of leaders. evenjordan are full of leaders. even jordan henderson are full of leaders. evenjordan henderson who has not are full of leaders. even jordan henderson who has not played are full of leaders. evenjordan henderson who has not played a are full of leaders. even jordan henderson who has not played a lot of football, what he does in the background is immense. harry kane is on top form and it wouldn't surprise me if he turned out to be top goal—scorer of a stop at an achievement that would be. it would be a tough evening for them. do you reckon? who — be a tough evening for them. do you reckon? who are _ be a tough evening for them. do you reckon? who are the _ be a tough evening for them. do you reckon? who are the dangers - be a tough evening for them. do you reckon? who are the dangers up - be a tough evening for them. do you reckon? who are the dangers up for| reckon? who are the dangers up for denmark? , ., ., �* ., ., denmark? they have got braithwaite, their bi est denmark? they have got braithwaite, their biggest strength _ denmark? they have got braithwaite, their biggest strength is _ denmark? they have got braithwaite, their biggest strength is just - denmark? they have got braithwaite, their biggest strength is just their - their biggest strength is just their togetherness, a bit like england, but when you analyse the squad in depth, england have got by far the better individuals, we always question whether they can put it together in a tournament, we have seen it in the world cup at last, they had three years ago, time to

work together and you see the fruits of that and have a stop denmark are similar, they have kasper schmeichel, he is a leader, he got —— there are other players with a fantastic season, thomas delaney also. there is no coincidence they are where they are, they are a good player, and of course, they have the added incentive to do well, the terrible tragedy with christian eriksen, so they have that in the back of their minds. they will be really up for the game this evening. you mentioned whatjordan henderson is doing in the background, but every player who has come in or only played little bits, they are all making a contribution, aren't they? grealish, sancho, henderson, bukayo saka, etc. is that quite a key to

the success so far? it saka, etc. is that quite a key to the success so far?— saka, etc. is that quite a key to the success so far? it is huge. you have to give _ the success so far? it is huge. you have to give huge _ the success so far? it is huge. you have to give huge credit _ the success so far? it is huge. you have to give huge credit to - the success so far? it is huge. you have to give huge credit to gareth| have to give huge credit to gareth southgate and the staff for that, to create an environment that the players enjoy coming into. i revert to when i was around the england squad, a lot of clicks in amongst the squad and the liverpool and manchester united players would not sit with each other, it southgate was part of that squad and is conscious of bringing a team spirit and camaraderie and making everyone just as important as everyone else. he deserves big credit, the players have to buy into it, they could have been some players that could have thrown their toys out of the pram because they are playing one minute and they're not the next and then they are not even in the squad so you have to buy into it as a player. i think they realise there is a time where we have to coming as a nation,

what we have been through throughout the world and our nation through the last year, 18 months and football has been a big part and i think the players have bought into it and they can smell the tournament now, they can smell the tournament now, they can smell the tournament now, they can smell winning it. this evening you cannot be complacent, it is the old cliche that they need to play the game and not the occasion with it being at home in front of 60,000 people. i think overall gareth southgate deserves an awful lot of credit. he southgate deserves an awful lot of credit. ., , . , credit. he does and he is getting it, i credit. he does and he is getting it. i think. _ credit. he does and he is getting it, | think. thank— credit. he does and he is getting it, i think. thank you _ credit. he does and he is getting it, i think. thank you very - credit. he does and he is getting it, i think. thank you very much, kevin, thank you for talking to us. enjoy the game. a high—profilejournalist in the netherlands has been shot and seriously injured in an attack in amsterdam. payter r de vrees has covered multiple crime cases over the past twenty years. three people have been detained in connection with the shooting. tanya dendrinos reports. shocking and incomprehensible, the words used by the prime minister of the netherlands after prominent journalist payter r de vrees

a large-scale investigation. _ bystanders and eyewitnesses gave us information about a possible getaway car. this getaway car has been stopped and two suspects have been arrested. we believe that one of them is possibly the shooter, a third suspect has been arrested at another location in amsterdam. we are still investigating his role. police are appealing for information, as a nation left rattled attempts to come to grips with this staggering crime. the mother of two women who were stabbed to death last year has said she fears the man who killed her daughters will become a killing machine in prison. yesterday 19—year—old danyal hussein was found guilty of the murder of nicole smallman and bibaa henry. they had been celebrating ms henry's birthday when they were attacked in a north london park. the sisters' mother, mina, sat down with the bbc�*s mishal husain after the verdict.

some viewers might find this interview upsetting. it's the worst thing that has happened to you. you have the result, but you still don't have your daughters. and so, there is no peace really. so, do i feel a sense of relief orjoy or... no, i don't. ifeeljustice has been done. but there is work... there's still work to be done. justice has been done after a long period, weeks, in which you sat through day after day, of harrowing evidence about what happened to nicole and bibaa. you say your faith gave you strength through that, but it must have taken so much out of you to have to hear all of those details. i can't tell you...

i was really, really anxious about it. we had to hear that our daughter, ouryoungest, nicole, this animal had... i think she had 3a stab wounds and they could tell by the order and where they were that while she was dying on the picnic rug, she was kicking him away and the stab wounds to her legs were defence stab wounds. so we have to hear that horror. and to learn through the course of this process that he, at a younger age, when he was 15, had been referred to the counter extremism programme because he had been researching far—right ideology, how did that make you feel? you know, what we don't want to do

is classify a young person as — they are never going to be right. the problem is, the people who are supposed to be assessing and taking responsibility, there is a gap from stage to stage, so they get lost in the system. the saddest thing, if this young man does have this tendency, when he goes into prison, he is going to be even more radicalised. he is going to be... he will be... he is a killer now, he will be a killing machine by the time he comes out. this man, this 19—year—old, took away two of the most precious people in your life. could you ever imagine forgiving him? i have. i already have. when we hold hatred for someone, it is not only them who are held captive,

it is you. because your thoughts become consumed by revenge and what you would like to do to them. i refuse to give him that power. now it's time to answer your questions on the government's announcements on easing restrictions. that is in england. we have had justice in from the ons, nearly 90% of adults across the uk now have antibodies to covid. this was up to june now have antibodies to covid. this was up tojune the 20th, nearly 90% of adults across the uk have antibodies against covid, antibodies being either evidence of a prior infection or having at least one

dose of the vaccine, so that would seem to be good news on the face of it. joining me is gp dr rachel ward and drjulian tang, clinical virologist and respiratory expert. hello, thank you for talking to us. these are questions from our viewers, this from monaco. with the ending of lockdown restrictions what is being done to protect immune suppressed people such as myself? i think monica highlights the concern of many immunosuppressed people have at the moment, people at risk should have been double vaccinated. however, in some groups, for example people with blood disorders, we don't fully understand how good the responses to the vaccine and how much they are protected by it. there is the background concern in this group, understandably. with the lifting of restrictions, i am sure this is very

anxiety provoking for many people because they feel some of the things like social distancing and facemask wearing is being removed and that is what was giving them some protection. i would say this is a very clear example of why we still need to be thinking about those around us, not everyone is as lucky to be low risk and double vaccinated, so this is why i believe in certain situations such as indoor areas that are crowded, we should really be thinking about continuing to wear facemasks to protect people such as moniker. but to wear facemasks to protect people such as moniker.— such as moniker. but the answer to the question _ such as moniker. but the answer to the question is. _ such as moniker. but the answer to the question is, nothing _ such as moniker. but the answer to the question is, nothing officially i the question is, nothing officially is being done to protect immune suppressed people, that is the bottom line, isn't it? this bottom line, isn't it? as restrictions _ bottom line, isn't it? is restrictions have been announced at the moment with the lifting, yes, there is very little discussion about people who are still clinically vulnerable. there has been little mention as to how things will be put in place for those

people, such as whether they need to be working at home etc, there is no longer any mention of that as far as i am aware. aha, longer any mention of that as far as i am aware-— longer any mention of that as far as i am aware. �* , ., ., .,, i am aware. a question from robert. wh has i am aware. a question from robert. why has the — i am aware. a question from robert. why has the number— i am aware. a question from robert. why has the number of _ i am aware. a question from robert. why has the number of daily - i am aware. a question from robert. why has the number of daily jabs - why has the number of dailyjabs dropped so much? why has the number of daily 'abs dropped so mumfi why has the number of daily 'abs dropped so much? probably because there are more _ dropped so much? probably because there are more people _ dropped so much? probably because there are more people vaccinated i dropped so much? probably becausel there are more people vaccinated and fewer_ there are more people vaccinated and fewer people needing vaccinated so the number eligible may be trickling off, but— the number eligible may be trickling off, but also with the lifting of restrictions, i'm curious whether some _ restrictions, i'm curious whether some people may say, hey, i don't need _ some people may say, hey, idon't need to— some people may say, hey, i don't need to he — some people may say, hey, i don't need to be vaccinated if they have no restrictions imposed on me, so there _ no restrictions imposed on me, so there may— no restrictions imposed on me, so there may be that lethargy response as welt _ there may be that lethargy response as well. , , there may be that lethargy response as well. _ , h, there may be that lethargy response as well. , ., , as well. kevin says, with so many --eole as well. kevin says, with so many people catching — as well. kevin says, with so many people catching covid-19, - as well. kevin says, with so many| people catching covid-19, shouldn people catching covid—19, shouldn the present restrictions stay in place in england afterjuly the 19th until everyone is vaccinated? this relates to the _ until everyone is vaccinated? this relates to the first _ until everyone is vaccinated? this relates to the first question that you asked about the immunosuppressed people. _ you asked about the immunosuppressed people. i_ you asked about the immunosuppressed people, i think the tapering of restrictions is sensible because

after the 19th ofjuly?_ they have to be double vaccinated after the 19th ofjuly? we know that eo - le in after the 19th ofjuly? we know that people in care _ after the 19th ofjuly? we know that people in care homes _ after the 19th ofjuly? we know that people in care homes have - after the 19th ofjuly? we know that people in care homes have been i people in care homes have been particularly at risk and we had large rates of death in care homes earlier on last year, sadly. it is a group we obviously worry about. as far as my understanding goes, yes, care home workers will need to be double vaccinated to work in a co ce approved care home. when it comes to wearing facemasks, that has not been announced. i suspected wearing facemasks, that has not been announced. isuspected i wearing facemasks, that has not been announced. i suspected i would hope that individual care homes make the decision to continue to do that at the moment. i think in most health care settings such as in gp practices like i am in, we will be continuing to wear facemasks, we want to offer protection to our vulnerable patients and we also want to minimise the amount of our staff getting covid and isolating at such

still producing some drizzle here and there. but there will be quite a bit of sunshine around tomorrow with fewer showers. they'll be well scattered, but if you catch one, it could be torrential, slow—moving and thundery, with highs of 23.
