good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today — no jab, no entry — anger after the prime minister says only people who are fully vaccinated can enter nightclubs and other mass events in england from september. we can't go on like this. theatre is now on its knees. no fairytale ending for cinderella, as self—isolation measures force andrew lloyd webber to cancel opening night. but the show must go on for thousands of businesses struggling with employees instructed to stay home. more than half a million isolation alerts were sent via the nhs app in the first week ofjuly alone.

as social mixing increases, how many more? and at what cost? we're nowjust days away from the opening ceremony at the olympic games in tokyo. but the action actually starts tomorrow as team gb women's football team take on chile. sun, sea and settling down — why scarborough wants to attract permanent residents as well as holiday makers. good morning. today once again we are looking at another hot and sunny day. the chance we could catch a heavy shower later in the afternoon, which could be thundery, and the met office has its first amber extreme heat warning out, and i'll tell you all about that in a full weather forecast later in the programme. good morning. it's tuesday the 20th ofjuly. our top story — hospitality bosses say plans to prevent un—vaccinated people from entering nightclubs in england are a "hammer blow" for the industry. the announcement, which is subject to approval by mps,

came on the first day that clubs were allowed to re—open in more than 16 months. our political correspondent helen catt has the details. less than 2a hours after the clubs reopened, borisjohnson had a new message for people hoping for a big night out. from the end of september in england, if yourjab�*s not done, you're not coming in. by the end of september, i when all over—18s will have had their chance to bei double jabbed, we are we are planning to make full- vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather. - proof of a negative test . will no longer be enough. he said that, among 18— to 30—year—olds, 35% were still completely unvaccinated, about 3 million people. that compares with 4% of the over—sos. the thing that is most devastating for the economy as if we had to go into another lockdown, so if there's any alternative that can avoid that,

we should explore it. but some tory mps have expressed concerns about the vaccine requirements. the lib dems have said the idea is unworkable, and there's been an angry reaction from industry. there are a lot of young people who don't want to be vaccinated for their own reason, or can't be vaccinated for whatever reason, and i think what the government are underestimating is those people who don't want to do it potentially seeking out other environments which are going to be more infectious. we're going to see a lot more illegal parties and events taking place for those people who don't want to engage in this process. the government has also announced that some children will be vaccinated, although most won't be. jabs will be offered to 12 to 15—year—olds who are either at high risk of becoming ill with covid themselves, or who live with someone who is. they'll get the pfizer vaccine, which is the only one approved for their age group. and as more and more contacts of people who tested positive get pinged to self—isolate, there's a change to the rules

for a small number of critical workers in england. some air traffic controllers, train signallers, and front line nhs staff are among those who will be allowed to leave isolation to work in exceptional circumstances. it's to avoid major disruption. the restrictions may have gone in england; the consequences will be watched closely over the coming weeks. helen catt, bbc news. we're joined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, how much political opposition will the government face on this plan to ban un—vaccinated clubbers? mps were talking about covid at exactly the same point as the prime minister was announcing this policy on television. i think at the moment, opponents will focus on trying to get the evidence from the government for why they want to do this later in the year, and what happens politically will depend on a

few things. what actually is the policy here? because it is quite sketchy at the moment, for example, what venues will actually apply to? then of course there willjust be the context of how does the pandemic feel in september, how serious is it, what is the number of cases, doesn't feel a bit out of control? that will affect how people feel about it. and then, of course, what does the party do about this idea of covid certificates? because even if there are quite a lot of conservative mps who are concerned about it, normally there are not enough to defeat the government when it comes to actually passing a low around it. so we will have to wait and see for a couple of months, because it is not coming in straight away. and the prime minister is also facing another barrage of criticism from his former chief adviser, dominic cummings. yes, the prime minister's chief aide until december last year when he left downing street, and ever since he left downing street, he has been making this case that the prime minister put politics ahead of saving people's lives, particularly

when it came to discussing the second lockdown in october last year. and today, he is making that claim any big prime—time interval that will be on bbc two tonight with our colleague laura kuenssberg. the attitude that point was a weird mix of partly it's all nonsense and lockdowns don't work anyway, and partly, well, this is terrible, but the people who are dying are essentially all over 80, and we can't kill the economyjust because of people dying over 80. it’s a can't kill the economyjust because of people dying over 80.— of people dying over 80. it's a very serious claim _ of people dying over 80. it's a very serious claim to _ of people dying over 80. it's a very serious claim to make. _ of people dying over 80. it's a very serious claim to make. what - of people dying over 80. it's a very i serious claim to make. what evidence do you have for that?— do you have for that? well, lots of eo - le do you have for that? well, lots of peeple have _ do you have for that? well, lots of peeple have the — do you have for that? well, lots of people have the prime _ do you have for that? well, lots of people have the prime minister i do you have for that? well, lots of| people have the prime minister say that. the prime minister texted that to me and other people. find that. the prime minister texted that to me and other people.— that. the prime minister texted that to me and other people. and to back u . to me and other people. and to back u- that to me and other people. and to back up that claim. _ to me and other people. and to back up that claim, dominic— to me and other people. and to back up that claim, dominic cummings i to me and other people. and to back up that claim, dominic cummings is | up that claim, dominic cummings is shed a whatsapp message from the prime minister to several aides in october, making the case that if you

look at the statistics, it was mainly the over 80s who were dying, the stuff about the nhs being overwhelmed, he was no longer buying any more. downing street says that throughout this the prime minister took the right decisions at the right time and was guided by the science, and that he did actually institute three lockdowns, in the end. adam, thank you very much, something we will be looking at later on. laura kuenssberg will be here and discuss that interval. we can hear more of the interval as well. —— interval. —— interview. andrew lloyd webber has said he is "heartbroken" after being forced to cancel the opening nights of his musical cinderella because a member of the cast tested positive for covid. he warned that the theatre industry is "on its knees" and said the current system of self—isolation is untenable. leigh milner reports from london's west end. it was meant to be england's so—called freedom day, but for andrew lloyd webber and the cast at this west end theatre, it was closure a day. last night's opening

performance of cinderella was cancelled after a member of the cast tested positive for covid—i9. those who were in close contact were given pcr tests. they all came back negative, but under government guidance, anybody who comes into close contact with someone who tests positive must self—isolate for ten days, guidance which lord luke andrew lloyd webber wants the government to change. what andrew lloyd webber wants the government to change.- andrew lloyd webber wants the government to change. what i cannot aet government to change. what i cannot net to uri -s government to change. what i cannot get to grips with _ government to change. what i cannot get to grips with is — government to change. what i cannot get to grips with is that _ government to change. what i cannot get to grips with is that this _ get to grips with is that this government does not seem to understand that theatre is the lifeblood of our cities. every other country in the world seems to have done so. america has completely grasp this. we can't go on like this. theatre is now on its knees. there is no way forward.- this. theatre is now on its knees. there is no way forward. more than 1200 guests _ there is no way forward. more than 1200 guests were _ there is no way forward. more than 1200 guests were expected - there is no way forward. more than 1200 guests were expected in i there is no way forward. more than 1200 guests were expected in the l 1200 guests were expected in the theatre tonight in the first full capacity performance of cinderella. 50% of the proceeds were also due to be donated to the nhs and stjohn�*s ambulance. be donated to the nhs and st john's

the german government rejected accusations that flood warning systems were inadequate. from the village of schuld in germany, anna holligan reports. this is the village of schuld, and so many of the homes here that weren't washed away by the flood water were made completely uninhabitable and unsafe by it. many people, politicians, weather experts, have blamed a monumental failure in the system, because flood alerts were given 2a hours in advance, and yet this is the destruction. and remarkably, in this village, everyone managed to get out alive. but you can see, if you have a look through some of these windows, you can see they are entirely gutted inside these homes. and the receding flood waters have revealed not only this extensive damage, but the politicians have to answer

three questions, really. the first, from the people here, when will the proposed aid package of 300 million euros reach the people who need it most? so many of these people clearly evacuated from their homes. will it change anything that the politicians are saying about policies on things like climate change? and should they have acted earlier? how can this have happened in one of the world's richest and most well—developed countries in 2021? more than 2,000 firefighters are battling to control a massive wildfire in the us state of oregon. the fire, which has been raging for two weeks, has displaced thousands of people from their homes and destroyed 160 buildings. it's now the largest of more than 80 wildfires which are burning throughout the united states.

the duke of sussex has announced plans to publish a memoir next year, in which he will share "mistakes and lessons learned." prince harry said he would reflect "the highs and lows" of his life, and be "accurate and wholly truthful." proceeds will be donated to charity. the bbc has been told the duke has recently spoken privately with his family about writing the book. the world's richest man is preparing to propel himself to the edge of outer space later today, 62 miles above earth. amazon founderjeff bezos hopes the trip will mark a giant leap forward in commercial space travel. sophie long has this report from the launch site. deepin deep in the west texas desert, the richest man on earth is preparing to take his first passengers to space, making history and dreams come true. with him will be trailblazing

aviator wally funk, who at 82 will become the oldest person ever to travel to space. also on board will be jeff bezos's travel to space. also on board will bejeff bezos's younger brother mark, and joining them to enjoy a rare view of earth, a dutch teenager. spaceships seem to be becoming the new super yachts. the launch comes just over a week after another billionaire realised his lifelong dream. sir richard branson may have been the first billionaire to make it to the edge of space, but whenjeff to make it to the edge of space, but when jeff bezos to make it to the edge of space, but whenjeff bezos launches in his new ship, he will be travelling faster and will go higher. it will travel at more than three times the speed of sound, to 62 miles above the earth's surface, with no human pilot on board. ~ �* , ., , on board. we've been training. this vehicle is ready, _ on board. we've been training. this vehicle is ready, the _ on board. we've been training. this vehicle is ready, the screw- on board. we've been training. this vehicle is ready, the screw is - vehicle is ready, the screw is ready, this team is amazing, wejust feel really good about it. the ready, this team is amazing, we 'ust feel really good about iti feel really good about it. the four passengers _ feel really good about it. the four passengers will — feel really good about it. the four passengers will float _ feel really good about it. the four passengers will float weightless l feel really good about it. the four. passengers will float weightless for a few minutes before the capsule starts to free fall back to earth. parachutes will be released to

it is an extreme heat warning. we are used to met office warnings for wind, snow, rain, this one is for extreme heat. basically, it is a prolonged spell of heat, high—temperature spy day, not much relief by night, as the temperatures do not do if all the way. and that can of course have impact on health, for the vulnerable in our population, and also the infrastructure, so transportation, for example. the forecast for today, a very mild start, a lot of sunshine around, some cloud and mist on this as well, that will a lot lift, the cloud will break, sunny spells will develop, joining the rest of the country and that sunshine. but we could see the odd heavy and potentially friendly shower. —— thundery showers. bruises on the coast. but not much relief as we had up coast. but not much relief as we had up through evening and overnight, look at the amber, still very much in our charts, and at 11 o'clock at

night, the temperature will still be 22 celsius. more than half a million isolation alerts were sent to people using the nhs covid—19 app in england and wales in the first week of this month, which is putting a huge strain on businesses. companies from car manufacturers to cafes, theatres to call centres have all been affected and while it's individually inconvenient for staff to isolate for the businesses concerned the impact can be devastating. nina is taking a look. yes, businesses certainly have a lot on their plate.

the biggest concern right now is this — the nhs covid—19 app, the one that we have all been encouraged to download. there's one for england and wales. separate ones are used in scotland and northern ireland. but the premise is the same. if you have the app and spend enough time close to another person with it you will receive a "ping" alert if they later test positive for covid and share the information with the app. if you are "pinged" you're advised, but not legally obliged, to self—isolate for ten days. nearly half a million alerts were sent in england in the week to 7july, with another 10,000 sent in wales. that's about double the number of people who were contacted directly by the test and trace service which tracks stated contacts of those who test positive to the virus. it's causing a big headache for businesses, like this tearoom in essex. it had to close after five members

of staff were pinged. does absolutely gutted. we were just getting ready to open the summer garden, the green space at the back of the premises, which attracts a lot of people. on saturday, i was preparing to open it, then we has to unfortunately make the decision to not open the whole premises, such a blow to us and all the employees and all the customers as well. and we've been hearing from some big businesses about their experience. m&s says the number of workers being notified by the nhs app is rising exponentially, and it may have to reduce hours if there are shortages. car maker rolls—royce says it's "approaching a critical point" due to workers having to self—isolate. nissan also says it's having problems. pubs, bars and restaurants are also having problems. about a fifth of the hospitality industry 5 workforce is in isolation, according to trade body uk hospitality, which warns that could rise to one in three within weeks.

there is some light at the end of the tunnel. from 16 august, people who have been fully vaccinated in england will no longer have to self—isolate after close contact with someone who tests positive. nhs staff who are fully vaccinated will not be pinged to self—isolate by the nhs covid app, and on monday, the pm borisjohnson promised that workers who provide critical services will not be asked to self—isolate. the system does have benefits in slowing the spread of covid cases, and some employers we spoke to said they would never force their employees to come into work if they have been pinged. that puts people in a tricky situation, especially people not in full—time employment, they will lose the income of the anterior to the app. there is a big

lag now of the time when we mix a lot more socially, four weeks to the point where people who have been double jumps do point where people who have been doublejumps do not point where people who have been double jumps do not have to respond to the ping, and within that time, we would serial surge, could be more critical than earlier this month. i'm sure people will get in touch, and we have had lots of their studies, but that would be good. people want to do the right thing, to stay home, but they don't get that income if they don't go in. you very much, nina. some of the front pages for you on this tuesday morning. many of the papers, including the daily mail, lead with the news so—called "vaccine passports" will be needed to get into nightclubs and similar venues from the end of september in england. hospitality bosses have told the paper that it's turned what was supposed to be "freedom day"

into "an absolute shambles." the times says the move has prompted a "revolt" from cabinet ministers and conservative mps, amid warnings it will create a "two—tier society". the daily mirror focuses on claims made by the prime minister's former aide in an interview with the bbc. as we've been hearing, dominic cummings asserted that borisjohnson resisted lockdown last autumn, saying "we can't kill the economy because of people dying over 80." and one of the most—watched videos on the bbc news website tells the story of the world's first space tourist, who paid $20 billion, that's £15 billion, to fly to the international space station in 2001. and unlike the billionaires likejeff bezos and richard branson, dennis tito spent eight whole days on board the spacecraft. louise has already told me she wants to talk about peppa pig. lots of children in the us have been watching so much peppa pig that it has changed their accents. about time, because loads of kids in this country use us accents. one canadian

parent said her toddler daughter began speaking with a slight british inflection after watching the show every day, she says things like stabilisers instead of training wheels, she pronounces tomato instead of to—may—to, and is uber instead of to—may—to, and is uber instead of to—may—to, and is uber instead of —— zebra instead of zee—bra. have a look at this picture here in one of the papers, what do you think this wedding dress made out of? ihla you think this wedding dress made out of? ., ., you think this wedding dress made out of?- facemasks. i out of? no idea. facemasks. facemasks — out of? no idea. facemasks. facemasks gosh. _

postponed over a year ago, lynn and sean have been waiting a very long time for this moment. it is with great delight that i pronounce _ it is with great delight that i pronounce that _ it is with great delight that i pronounce that you - it is with great delight that i pronounce that you are i it is with great delight that i pronounce that you are now| it is with great delight that i- pronounce that you are now husband and wife _ can't stop smiling. we did it! we looked at different dates. how we came to manage july 19th and being freedom day is complete luck. but i think we deserve it after the year we've had. yes, yes. we would have had to have sat down last week. you aren't even allowed to stand up with a drink in your hand. and now look at us, we're all stood up, drinks in hand, laughing, joking. it'sjust a party. incredible, isn't it? it's a party. no masks. and for most of the family, it was their first reunion since lockdown. what's it like? brilliant, that's what it's like. it seems like forever since we last saw each other, so it's really nice for us all to be here together, and actually to meet all the nephews and nieces, cos last time we saw them, they were children. now they are young men and young women. it's just absolutely beautiful to be here.

both lynn and her maid of honour katie are midwives. with infection rates rising and many isolating, they were desperately hoping today would actually happen. my daughter became positive, and i've just never cleaned so much in my life, but because of being a midwife, i knew how to, you know, put on the mask and gloves, and ijust made sure that i stayed safe the whole two weeks and cleaned. over and over and over. she would have killed me if i wasn't here today, and we're very close. i'm 0k at the moment, and i will be showing her my lateral flow saying it was negative. because she had caught it from her daughter, she wouldn't have been able to come. and what would that have done to your wedding? 0h! it would have broken my heart a little bit. yeah. we have been best friends for a very long time. gone through a lot together, haven't we? yeah. with no restriction on numbers, lynn and sean could invite everyone, all 125 on the list. guests were encouraged to do lateral flow tests before coming today, and ten had to pull out this

morning, testing positive for covid or having to isolate after being pinged by track and trace. others who are shielding decided not to come. the groom's mother was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, and has hardly left her home in two years. i have been anxious, a bit worried about mixing, because this is the first time i've mixed with more than six people in two years. and particularly staying at a hotel and travelling in taxis. fortunately, most of it is outside, but we are going to go inside in a minute for the meal. but i've brought a special sparkly mask for the occasion, so i'm just to wear that indoors. this is such a special day, so what better day to take a risk? and then the moment everyone's been waiting for. this dance floor

is once again legal. music plays we've spent two years ofjust working and going home and not having fun, really, and i think this special celebration of a childhood friend today, to be able to have a few drinks, putting music on and just dance with her, isjust... it's like best wedding present ever for her and for us. feels good to be finally dancing again. freedom day, woo—hoo! they've all had to wait a while for this wedding, but this celebration and this party is certainly one that these guests and this couple will always remember. fiona lamdin, bbc news.

we know we are confusing a few people this morning because we do not have our bbc breakfast clock on the screen. we are looking for it. but it is 6.28. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. bbc london and bbc south east today are joining forces at breakfast to keep you up to date with the latest news in your area. a pathologist, who carried out thousands of post mortem examinations across london, faces being struck off after a string of failings. dr michael heath was reported to the general medical council by bereaved families. they claimed he d made obvious errors while examining their loved ones — leading them to believe they d cremated the wrong bodies. the cases expose wider concerns about the system,

with experts calling for major reform. there is a lack of oversight, a lack of central funding, also a crucial lack of what one might simply call peer review. if no—one notices, then theyjust carry on cutting corners even more. it's one of my big professional beliefs that one of the main reasons why we behave well and do good work is the thought that big brother is looking over our shoulder. in the coronial system, that is not the case. bosses at gatwick airport have said despite lockdown restrictions lifting, business at the airport is 90% down compared to pre—pandemic levels. the airport's chief commercial officer says that until further restrictions on travel lift, passenger numbers will remain low. passengers can travel to more destinations without quarantining. up to 100 destinations, 3a countries acrossjuly and august. that is certainly better than what it has been for the early part of this year. the markets that people love flying two from gatwick airport still remain very heavily restricted, still have the need

for expensive testing, and we know that until those factors change, we will continue to see relatively low overall passenger volumes through the airport. a full crossrail timetable will not be in operation until may 2023, the public accounts committee has been told. the elizabeth line was originally due to open in december 2018, but has been beset by delays. however, the committee was told the route could be "mostly operational" by autumn 2022. a charity for the blinds calling for people to withdraw from rentable e—scooter trials. the national federation of the blind of the uk said they present "dangers for pedestrians and people using mobility aids." trial schemes of the scooters are being held in canterbury and some london boroughs. and now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. another very warm night last night. in central london, temperatures didn't drop much below 19 celsius. elsewhere in the mid—teens.

this morning there is a bit of mistiness but that will lift. another hot day with plenty of sunshine. bit of fair weather cloud this afternoon bubbling up. temperatures in london around 30 celsius. further south a little cooler along the east kent coast, an onshore breeze, the temperatures are a little cooler still. still very warm. the risk of a shower into this evening, could be quite heavy. you might get a rumble of thunder. that will clear, becoming dry again. a bit of mistiness potentially overnight. minimum temperature again london around 18 celsius. a little bit cooler elsewhere but still very uncomfortable for sleeping. we've got more fine, dry weather in the forecast but it is turning progressively more unsettled. cooler towards the end of the week and heavy showers for the weekend. we'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. coming up on breakfast this morning... more than 400 people risked their lives yesterday, trying to enter the uk illegally by crossing the english channel on small inflatables.

we've got a special report at 7:20am. this is not soccer. is that clear? he spent his career laying down the law to some of the toughest men in sport — now the former rugby referee nigel owens wants to help children stand up to bullies. he'll be telling us why at 7:50am. and here's someone you'll be seeing a lot more of this autumn. he's kai widdrington, one of four new professionals on strictly come dancing. we'll be chatting to kai after 9. it's going to be another sweltering day for many of us. this is the scene at weston—super—mare, in somerset, which is subject to a met office amber warning for extreme heat, along with the rest of south—west england

we will keep you right up to date with the weather warning. let's get some medical advice now on keeping cool in the heat. dr nighat arif is one of our regular gps and shejoins us from buckinghamshire. we talk about the heat so much. actually there are serious implications, aren't there? the weather is _ implications, aren't there? the weather is hot, _ implications, aren't there? tue: weather is hot, very implications, aren't there? tte: weather is hot, very hot. implications, aren't there? "tte: weather is hot, very hot. yesterday i had the windows open and we could not pull down with the fans on as well. we sweat because blood vessels come on top of our skin. that process is to make sure our core temperature stays between 36 and 37.5 because that is where we like to be as human beings. as the vessels raised up, that allows moisture to come up allowing you to cool down and your blood pressure

drops. when thatjob is, you are not getting enough blood supply to the organs and that can cause a lot of complications. you can start the simple things first where you are feeling faint, tired, quite lethargic. then you can have swollen feet as well. with real heat exhaustion there are real complications. you can get kidney damage which is organ failure. you can become very dehydrated. you lose vital nutrients, salt in your sweat as well. you might actually find you are so confused you are sleeping a lot more. if no one can keep an eye on you and get help, you can have heat stroke, which is a medical emergency and that is where you need to call an ambulance and get help straightaway. people can die of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. that is why keeping cool is so important in

departure, following a female gymnast from the us team. our reporter has more for us. you're very welcome along to tokyo bay. we are in the south of the japanese capital. right behind me you can see the rainbow bridge, which is leading into the heart of the city. the olympic village which hosts the athletes is over my left hand shoulder, and right down below me in tokyo bay is where the triathlon will take place. we know of course that these olympics have been delayed by a year and they get under way under the cloud of the coronavirus pandemic. many, the majority in fact, of the japanese public do not want these games to happen. we know already there have been four positive coronavirus cases that have been found within the olympic village but the ioc says the measures they have in place should be able to keep the widerjapanese public safe from any cases as they occur. the opening ceremony for the olympics is in the olympic stadium on friday but the action will get under way on wednesday with team gb in football action tomorrow and also

with the softball, with the hosts japan kicking off that event. staying with the olympics, and in an exclusive interview for the bbc, the duke of cambridge has been speaking to team gb boxing medal hope lauren price at kensington palace. the welsh fighter has been talking about her extraordinary life story and here she reveals that football nearly became her number one sport. in 2016, after the rio olympics, i had a trialfor team gb. i went from training every night to training with wales through the week and then i was taxi driving on the weekends as well. to being on a... taxi driver. i love that. brilliant. picking up all the drunks on a friday and saturday night. oh, yeah. i bet they didn't mess with you! no. that's it. yeah. it isa it is a brilliant interview.

and you can watch more of that interview between the duke of cambridge and lauren price on the bbc sport website. here's carol with a look at the weather. natasha —— carol is not there at the moment. we are going to be speaking throughout the programme about how to keep yourself safe. we were talking about helen glover the other day. she starts her campaign for gold on saturday in the pairs. she has had three children since the last olympics in 2016. on the bbc iplayer, there is a fascinating documentary talking about her route to working out whether she wanted to do it and realising she could potentially do it in the amount of training that has taken place to make sure she is now getting ready

to potentially win another medal at the olympic games. that documentary is on the bbc iplayer. fingers crossed, we will get the clock back. better news, we have carol back. hopefully everything is working this time. they are starting off with a new met office weather warning. we are used to amber and red weather warnings for wind and snow and so on, this new one is for extreme heat. it is valid right the way through to thursday. the area, southwest, the west midlands, hampshire and the isle of wight. it means there will be a period of prolonged heat. high temperatures by day and not much relief at night. the temperatures will still be fairly high. had

impact on health implications. things like dehydration, nausea and things like heat exhaustion. as well as that it may impact infrastructure, transportation, there could be delays and power cuts. that is something we are seeing more of as we go through the rest of the summer. the outlook for a few days is one of sunny spells and scattered showers. the showers will be more isolated like yesterday. we could catch one. this morning there is some misting is around. many starting with sunshine the mist soon lifting. a lot of the cloud will break out. we could hang onto some in the north—east around the coast. that is where we can see sea breezes and temperatures are not as high. further north we are into the low to the high teens. as we

head on into the evening, watch what happens to the temperature. not a lot, it will come down that we are hanging on to the deeper colours, indicating that by 11 o'clock at night temperatures will be 22 degrees in london, 23 in birmingham. as we go through the rest of the night there will only be a slight drop in temperatures. another reason for the weather warning from the met office. the high pressure will drift further northwards, not much. heat distribution will travel further north as well into northern ireland and scotland. they start off with crowd in scotland and the north—east of england. some of that will dissipate through the day, some of it will linger. a lot of sunshine around and if you showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. top temperature 28, 29, possibly still 30. thank you very much. that

is quite something, isn't it? lots of advice on the programme on how to keep cool in the heat. if you want to send us any ideas. i remember at one used to keep a bucket of water by the bed when i was pregnant, it was a very hot summer. i used to but my feet in. it worked for me! he might have seen in the papers yesterday, four new strictly professionals stop jeanette manrara has left and anton has become a judge. we are going to speak to one of them about his new life in strictly. a lot of us will be flocking to our coastal towns for a holiday this summer but many of those communities would desperately like to attract incomers for a lot

longer than a few days. scarborough is one of the places which is struggling to attract enough professionals — like teachers and health care workers — to live and work there. our media and arts correspondent david sillito can tell us more. david, this issue is personal for you, isn't it? very good morning. it does look absolutely lovely.— very good morning. it does look absolutely lovely. absolutely stop . lorious absolutely lovely. absolutely stop ulorious to absolutely lovely. absolutely stop glorious to be _ absolutely lovely. absolutely stop glorious to be back _ absolutely lovely. absolutely stop glorious to be back in _ absolutely lovely. absolutely stop glorious to be back in my- absolutely lovely. absolutely stop i glorious to be back in my hometown. my glorious to be back in my hometown. my family go back generation after generation here. the town has had its problems over the years. if you walk around today, two rings stand out. no vacancy signs staff wanted signs will stop it is having a post lockdown moment. i was up here for a week or so and everyone i was with were new arrivals. artists, all sorts of people, one woman teaching in sheffield, doing it via zoom.

they were saying, if you are going to work anywhere, why not do it with a view like this? if you're going to come to scarborough, there's only one way to start the day. meet the ladies of scarborough sea swim. here, you go in there, you could be feeling a bit rubbish. you come out, you feel like superwoman. there are dolphins in the bay, there's porpoises. it's just astonishingly lovely. we have something else in common beyond the love of an early morning dip. came to scarborough about two and a half years ago. it was literally a whim. my mum now lives in scarborough, moved up from northamptonshire.

new arrivals, making art, online teaching. it's the opposite to the journey i took. i grew up here. my grandfather was a borough engineer in its heyday. one of his projects was the town's famous miniature railway. 90 years on, much has changed. the variety theatres have gone, along with some of the old attractions. the pavilion hotel was replaced with this... nevertheless, much of it is unchanged and, as lockdown eases, it's busy. i went to meet the spokeswoman for the local hospitality association and realised we were in the same class at school. so how has business been over the last few weeks? very good. it means we're full, and people are staying for a bit longer. obviously, they're missing the breaks abroad, so instead of two, three nights a week, three and four nights some weeks, so that's very good. it feels much the same

as it was when i was a teenager some a0 years ago but one thing has changed. for someone like me, on free school meals at the local comp, the chance of success these days is much lower. goodness me. it's exactly the same. i went back to my old school. the pupils werejust like me, aged 15. will you be in scarborough when you're 25? i don't think so. would there be anything that would keep you here? um. . . probably not. it's that issue that's also affected schools in the area. scalby is doing well at the moment but there have been struggles. this was a great school when i was here but it's had big ups and downs, hasn't it over the years, what went wrong?

i think schools have struggled in the area for recruitment. there's a real problem about getting working age professional people to come to scarborough then. definitely. the journey down the a64. yeah. and it's a fantastic place. did anyone say to you, "what are you doing going to scarborough?" they did. but we've got the north york moors on our doorstep, we've got dalby forest up the road and an hour that way takes you to the yorkshire dales. you couldn't really want for more, actually. absolutely no regret. maybe this is a moment of change. kane cunningham, a local artist, is certainly seeing something. i've always believed in scarborough and i think... i'm seeing now a lot more people coming to scarborough from across the uk. if you're going to work from home, why not do it with a view like this? the schools, the sea swimmers, they all want to challenge prejudices. they even challenged mine about going into the water.

actually, it's not that bad. it really isn't that cold, is it? this is fantastic. i have been watching the swimmers this morning. i am alsojoined by local businessmanjohn senior. do you think real change is happening to scarborough? mast you think real change is happening to scarborough?— you think real change is happening to scarborou~h? m, , ._ to scarborough? most every day. then it will change — to scarborough? most every day. then it will change here. _ to scarborough? most every day. then it will change here. what _ to scarborough? most every day. then it will change here. what happened i it will change here. what happened to whitby ten years ago is happening to whitby ten years ago is happening to us here in scarborough. it is not about post—pandemic and people wanting to work here with the beautiful view. what is not to like about that?! we are getting investment with 2000 newjobs coming investment with 2000 newjobs coming in and all sorts ofjobs coming to scarborough, as you described. it is

stop we're going to speak now to two mothers who have been united by the most tragic of circumstances. both have lost teenage daughters to severe allergic reactions. natasha ednan—laperouse died in 2016 — aged 15 — after eating a pret a manger sandwich which contained sesame seeds — which were not listed in the ingredients. and 18—year—old shante turay—thomas suffered a fatal reaction to eating a hazelnut in 2018. she had not been given proper training on how to inject herself with adrenaline. now natasha and shante's mothers — tanya and emma — are calling on the government to appoint a champion for people living with allergies, in the hope of avoiding similar tragedies. we can talk to them now. thank you so much, the pair of you, for spending a bit of time with us this morning and thank you for talking so honestly about your daughters and the horrible situations parody had been through

are joining forces at breakfast to keep you up to date with the latest news. a pathologist, who carried out thousands of post mortem examinations across london, faces being struck off after a string of failings. dr michael heath was reported to the general medical council by bereaved families. they claimed he d made obvious errors while examining their loved ones — obvious errors while cremated the wrong bodies. the cases expose wider concerns about the system, with experts calling for major reform. there is a lack of oversight, a lack of central funding, also a crucial lack of what one might simply call peer review. if no—one notices, then theyjust carry on cutting corners even more. it's one of my big professional beliefs that one of the main reasons why we behave well and do good work is the thought that big brother is looking over our shoulder. in the coronial system, that is not the case. bosses at gatwick airport have said despite lockdown restrictions lifting, business at the airport is 90% down compared to pre—pandemic levels.

the airport's chief commercial officer says that until further restrictions on travel lift, passenger numbers will remain low. passengers can travel to more destinations without quarantining. up to 100 destinations, 3a countries acrossjuly and august. that is certainly better than what it has been for the early part of this year. the markets that people love flying to from gatwick airport still remain very heavily restricted, still have the need for expensive testing, and we know that until those factors change, we will continue to see relatively low overall passenger volumes through the airport. a full crossrail timetable will not be in operation until may 2023, the public accounts committee has been told. the elizabeth line was originally due to open in december 2018, but has been beset by delays. however, the committee was told the route could be "mostly operational" by autumn 2022.

a charity for the blinds calling for people to withdraw from rentable e—scooter trials. the national federation of the blind of the uk said they present "dangers for pedestrians and people using mobility aids." trial schemes of the scooters are being held in canterbury and some london boroughs. and now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. another very warm night last night. in central london, temperatures didn't drop much below 19 celsius. elsewhere, in the mid—teens. this morning, there is a bit of mistiness, but that will lift. another hot day with plenty of sunshine. bit of fair weather cloud this afternoon bubbling up. temperatures in london around 30 celsius. further south, a little cooler along the east kent coast, an onshore breeze, the temperatures are a little cooler still. still very warm. the risk of a shower into this evening, could be quite heavy. you might get a rumble of thunder. that will clear, becoming dry again. a bit of mistiness potentially overnight. minimum temperature, again london around 18 celsius. a little bit cooler elsewhere, but still very uncomfortable for sleeping.

we've got more fine, dry weather in the forecast but it is turning progressively more unsettled. cooler towards the end of the week and heavy showers for the weekend. that's it from us. we'll be back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today — no jab, no entry. anger after the prime minister says only people who are fully vaccinated can enter nightclubs and other mass events in england from september we can't go on like this. theatre is now on its knees. no fairytale ending for cinderella, as self—isolation measures force andrew lloyd webber to cancel opening night. the prime minister's former chief adviser dominic cummings tells the bbc borisjohnson put politics ahead of lives during the pandemic. the attitude at that point was a weird mix of partly it's all nonsense and lockdowns don't

work anyway, and partly, well, this is terrible, but the people who are dying are essentially all over 80, and we can't kill the economy just because of people dying over 80. we're nowjust days away from the opening ceremony at the olympic games in tokyo. but the action actually starts tomorrow as team gb women's football team take on chile. for some of us, a misty murky stock to the day, but most of that will lift and break, and most of us will have another hot and sunny day was just a chance of a shower which could be heavy and thundery later in the afternoon. all the details coming up. good morning. it's tuesday the 20th ofjuly. our top story — hospitality bosses say plans to prevent un—vaccinated people from entering nightclubs in england are a "hammer blow" for the industry. the announcement, which is subject to approval by mps, came on the first day that clubs were allowed to re—open

in more than 16 months. our political correspondent helen catt has the details. less than 2a hours after the clubs reopened, borisjohnson had a new message for people hoping for a big night out. from the end of september in england, if yourjab's not done, you're not coming in. by the end of september, i when all over—18s will have had their chance to be double tabbed, — we're planning to make full- vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather. i proof of a negative test . will no longer be enough. he said that, among 18— to 30—year—olds, 35% were still completely unvaccinated, about 3 million people. that compares with 4% of the over—505. the thing that is most devastating for the economy is if we had to go into another lockdown, so if there's any alternative that can avoid that, we should explore it. but some tory mps have

expressed concerns about the vaccine requirements. the lib dems have said the idea is unworkable, and there's been an angry reaction from industry. there are a lot of young people who don't want to be vaccinated for their own reason, or can't be vaccinated for whatever reason, and i think what the government are underestimating is those people who don't want to do it potentially seeking out other environments which are going to be more infectious. we're going to see a lot more illegal parties and events taking place for those people who don't want to engage in this process. the government has also announced that some children will be vaccinated, although most won't be. jabs will be offered to 12— to 15—year—olds who are either at high risk of becoming ill with covid themselves, or who live with someone who is. they'll get the pfizer vaccine, which is the only one approved for their age group. and as more and more contacts of people who've tested positive get pinged to self—isolate, there's a change to the rules for a small number of critical workers in england. some air traffic controllers,

train signallers, and front line nhs staff are among those who will be allowed to leave isolation to work in exceptional circumstances. it's to avoid major disruption. the restrictions may have gone in england; the consequences will be watched closely over the coming weeks. helen catt, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, how much political opposition will the government face on this plan to ban un—vaccinated clubbers? yeah, because a week ago, the policy was that these sums would not be introduced, covid certificates would not be mandatory everywhere, but the government would keep them in the locker in the if things got bad in the autumn. and now it looks like they are definitely going to be introduced in the autumn, which tells you something about how the government is feeling about this. i think the opponents of these, which are mainly now in the industry, but

there are a few lenders of parliament who are opposed to it, too, are going to focus on getting the scientific evidence out of the government to justify why you would introduce these. and then i think what happens will defend on a few things, what is the actual proposal here? —— depend on a few things. we are all talking about nightclubs, the government is talking about crowded indoor spaces. what specific venues do they have in mind, what does this policy actually end up looking like? then there will be, how does the pandemic feel at that point? if there are a huge number of cases, and it feels a bit out of control, than something that feels a little bit draconian now might feel totally justifiable then. little bit draconian now might feel totallyjustifiable then. and then of course, what does the labour party do? because even if you have quite a large handful of conservative mps and liberal democrats are opposed to this, to prevent it happening, you would need labour to oppose it. so what they think about it will be quite important. adam, thank you very much, speak to you later. andrew lloyd webber has said he is "heartbroken" after cancelling the opening nights of his musical,

cinderella because a member of the cast tested positive for covid. he warned the theatre industry is "on its knees" and said the current system of self—isolation is untenable. the culture secretary oliver dowden said he recognised the need to self—isolate, but also the challenges it presents to the arts. what i cannot get to grips with is that this government does not seem to understand that theatre is the lifeblood of our cities. every other country in the world seems to have done so. america has completely grasped this. we can't go on like this. theatre is now on its knees. there is no way forward. a premier league footballer has been arrested over child sex offences. greater manchester police says a 31—year—old man from bowdon, in trafford, was arrested on friday of last week. he is on police bail pending further enquiries. more than 2,000 firefighters are battling to control a massive wildfire in the us state of oregon. the fire, which has been

raging for two weeks, has displaced thousands of people from their homes and destroyed 160 buildings. it's now the largest of more than 80 wildfires which are burning throughout the united states. the duke of sussex has announced plans to publish a memoir next year, in which he will share "mistakes and lessons learned." prince harry said he would reflect on "the highs and lows" of his life, and be "accurate and wholly truthful". proceeds will be donated to charity. the bbc has been told the duke has recently spoken privately with his family about writing the book. we are currently trying to find the clock, for all of you asking about it. it is currently 7.11. zoe says she has a couple of clocks she can lend us if we cannot find one for bbc breakfast, but we have had looked on the back the sofa, we will

get it for you at some stage, we hope. we wasted a whole minute telling people the time, it is now 7.12, and carol is here. a misty start for some places, including in edinburgh, but this will all burn away, for most, for the next couple of days, looking up sunshine and hot sunshine at that, and also some scattered showers. most of us missing the showers. now, we have a new met office and the weather warning enforce, this is for extreme heat, and you can see the areas it covers. this is valid until 2359 on thursday, taking into account the impact of the heat. we have high temperatures by day and not much respite by night. so they

of course have implications for your health and infrastructure, transportation and things like that. going through this morning, the mist will lift, the cloud will break, and there will be a lot of dry weather and a lot of sunshine. hanging on perhaps a bit more cloud across the coast of north—east scotland, and it's along the coast today that it will be cooler, because we will see some sea breezes develop. moving on land, a temperature of 30 in london and birmingham, 27 up towards glasgow, —— moving in land. the temperature does not follow a much by night, we have still got the reds and amber is still very much with us. by 11.00 at night, the temperature in london will still be 22 celsius. thank you, carol, see you later. nearly 400,000 children across the uk will now be eligible to receive a coronavirus vaccine after the roll—out was extended to vulnerable youngsters, as well as those living with others at higher risk. amid the easing of restrictions

and a rising number of cases, we've been getting reaction to the plans from two families with underlying health conditions. i have severe asthma, which started a few years ago out of the blue. my immune system started attacking itself, my lungs specifically, so just a simple cold that the boys are brought home from school or i have picked up from work can be enough to put me in hospital. i think it is a step in the right direction for families like ours who have got families like ours who have got families you have children older than mine. so it is hoped, but it really makes things difficult for us because the case numbers are going up because the case numbers are going up again, and every day they are at school, i am exposing them and therefore need to this latest variant not knowing whether my vaccine has worked or not, so it is a very complicated and difficult situation to go through as a family, really, it is very difficult. and we cannot change other people's

behaviour. other people are jubilant to not have to wear a mask any more, well, that is not so good for people like me, my my husband. t was like me, my my husband. i was diagnosed _ like me, my my husband. i was diagnosed with _ like me, my my husband. i was diagnosed with cancer- like me, my my husband. i was diagnosed with cancer in - like me, my my husband. i was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, | like me, my my husband. i was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, and went into _ diagnosed with cancer in 2019, and went into remission at the very start— went into remission at the very start of— went into remission at the very start of the pandemic. and to do that was— start of the pandemic. and to do that was diagnosed with cancer in november of last year —— to it has been an extremely difficult stressful— it has been an extremely difficult stressful year and a half, notjust because — stressful year and a half, notjust because of— stressful year and a half, notjust because of the fear of contracting covid, _ because of the fear of contracting covid, but — because of the fear of contracting covid, but because we are dealing with the _ covid, but because we are dealing with the fear of additional illnesses and we are trying to support— illnesses and we are trying to support our children through all of this as _ support our children through all of this as well. our children are ten, 11, this as well. our children are ten, ii, 13. _ this as well. our children are ten, ii, 13. so— this as well. our children are ten, 11,13, so underthe this as well. our children are ten, 11,13, so under the government proposal. — 11,13, so under the government proposal. it— 11,13, so under the government proposal, it was and we actually relates — proposal, it was and we actually relates to — proposal, it was and we actually relates to one of the children. the infection— relates to one of the children. the infection rates in the hours have definitely— infection rates in the hours have definitely come from the schools, and three — definitely come from the schools, and three children, more recently than not. — and three children, more recently than not. so — and three children, more recently than not, so if we can get those

through the pandemic with the vaccines, what we have done is look at the evidence for effectiveness, the safety the vaccines, and made the safety the vaccines, and made the bestjudgment on the balance of risk and benefit. and sometimes it has been a very obvious decision, the beginning it was clear that we needed to focus our attention on health care workers and the elderly, then progressively work our way through people at higher risk. when it comes to younger children, the risks of the disease are actually extremely low, but there are some groups of children who are at higher risk, and therefore do need to have the protection of that this one a vaccine that we have now authorised for the under 18 is can offer. so that was clear. in terms of the families who have just been discussing, there is clearly a slightly different situation for those children, because they live in fear of infecting their parent or sibling who are at high risk of

covid because of immunosuppression. and the mental harm to them of doing that would be very extensive if it did occur. so we felt that that particular group should also be targeted for immunisation, as long as they were fully understanding the risk and benefit situation, and their parents as well. just risk and benefit situation, and their parents as well.- risk and benefit situation, and their parents as well. just so i'm clear, children _ their parents as well. just so i'm clear, children under— their parents as well. just so i'm clear, children under12 - their parents as well. just so i'm clear, children under12 in - their parents as well. just so i'm clear, children under 12 in that i clear, children under 12 in that situation would be eligible, would they? situation would be eligible, would the ? ., , situation would be eligible, would the? ., , . ., they? no, sorry, iwasn't clear enough- _ they? no, sorry, iwasn't clear enough- so — they? no, sorry, iwasn't clear enough. so from _ they? no, sorry, iwasn't clear enough. so from 12 _ they? no, sorry, iwasn't clear enough. so from 12 upwards, i they? no, sorry, iwasn't clear. enough. so from 12 upwards, the vaccine is authorised now. there are studies going on with this and other vaccines and under twelves, and as soon as we have some evidence on the effectiveness and safety in those younger children, then a further decision will be made. but of course, the vaccine it does need to be authorised by the regulator first before we can recommend it to be given to younger children. rachel,

will keep that evidence under close review. it is principally because children at this age are at a very low risk of getting sick from covid. i will take that back to rachel, because that is the specific question she wanted answered. yes. because that is the specific question she wanted answered. yes, i understand that, _ question she wanted answered. yes, i understand that, and _ question she wanted answered. yes, i understand that, and i _ question she wanted answered. yes, i understand that, and i hear _ question she wanted answered. yes, i understand that, and i hear the i understand that, and i hear the professor. _ understand that, and i hear the professor, i hope you will be sharing — professor, i hope you will be sharing the data with all the other scientists — sharing the data with all the other scientists. i think because the scientists. ! think because the infection— scientists. i think because the infection rates are so high, i'm 'ust infection rates are so high, i'm just very— infection rates are so high, i'm just very concerned it is going to rip through— just very concerned it is going to rip through the child population like a _ rip through the child population like a herd immunity type of situation. there are children who have _ situation. there are children who have long — situation. there are children who have long covid, would you rather a child got _ have long covid, would you rather a child got covid all were vaccinated? i child got covid all were vaccinated? i know _ child got covid all were vaccinated? i know it _ child got covid all were vaccinated? i know it is — child got covid all were vaccinated? i know it is balancing the risk, and i know it is balancing the risk, and lam _ i know it is balancing the risk, and lam not _ i know it is balancing the risk, and lam not an— i know it is balancing the risk, and i am not an epidemiologist, obviously, but i know many families, some _ obviously, but i know many families, some families will not want their children— some families will not want their children vaccinated, but i know many, — children vaccinated, but i know many, there was a lady on the

better life is strong. i think you got a sense there that this, as i say, is now the sort of preferred route for people smugglers trying to get into the uk. and i think that is probably because, while the numbers coming over by boat have gone up, they have actually gone down, people coming overin actually gone down, people coming over in containers and lollies perhaps through the channel tunnel, thatis perhaps through the channel tunnel, that is maybe because security in those areas has been stepped up in recent years. we have had some very high—profile cases of because of people dying inside containers and perhaps people smugglers just think thatis perhaps people smugglers just think that is too risky. some of these people are getting intercepted out at sea, we saw, we had people yesterday just at sea, we saw, we had people yesterdayjust making it all the way to show. we saw a boat arrive at a beach where about 50 migrants got off the boat. when you are out at sea in the middle of the channel and you see these people, theyjust seem

so vulnerable, and some of them have come from the world's most troubled countries. it is pretty hard not to feel some simply for them as individuals. john donna summer, thank you very much indeed for that report, thank you. —— jon thank you very much indeed for that report, thank you. ——jon donnison. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. bbc london and bbc south east today are joining forces at breakfast to keep you up to date with the latest news. a pathologist who carried out thousands of post mortem examinations across london faces being struck off. dr michael heath was reported to the general medical council by bereaved families. they claimed he d made obvious errors while examining their loved ones — leading them to believe they d cremated the wrong bodies. the cases expose wider concerns about the system, with experts calling for major reform. there is a lack of oversight, a lack

of central funding, also a crucial lack of what one might simply call peer review. if no—one notices, then theyjust carry on cutting corners even more. it's one of my big professional beliefs that one of the main reasons why we behave well and do good work is the thought that big brother is looking over our shoulder. in the coronial system, that is not the case. bosses at gatwick airport have said despite lockdown restrictions lifting, business at the airport is 90% down compared to pre—pandemic levels. the airport's chief commercial officer says that until further restrictions on travel lift, passenger numbers will remain low. passengers can travel to more destinations without quarantining. up to 100 destinations, 3a countries acrossjuly and august. that is certainly better than what it has been for the early part of this year. the markets that people love flying to from gatwick airport still remain very heavily restricted, still have the need for expensive testing, and we know that until those factors change, we will continue to see relatively low overall passenger volumes through the airport.

a full crossrail timetable will not be in operation until may 2023, the public accounts committee has been told. the elizabeth line was originally due to open in december 2018, but has been beset by delays. however, the committee was told the route could be "mostly operational" by autumn 2022. a charity for the blinds calling for people to withdraw from rentable e—scooter trials. the national federation of the blind of the uk said they present "dangers for pedestrians and people using mobility aids." trial schemes of the scooters are being held in canterbury and some london boroughs. and now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. another very warm night last night. in central london, temperatures didn't drop much below 19 celsius. elsewhere in the mid—teens. this morning there is a bit of mistiness but that will lift. another hot day with plenty of sunshine. bit of fair weather cloud this afternoon bubbling up. temperatures in london around 30 celsius.

further south a little cooler along the east kent coast, an onshore breeze, the temperatures are a little cooler still. still very warm. the risk of a shower into this evening, could be quite heavy. you might get a rumble of thunder. that will clear, becoming dry again. a bit of mistiness potentially overnight. minimum temperature again london around 18 celsius. a little bit cooler elsewhere but still very uncomfortable for sleeping. we've got more fine, dry weather in the forecast but it is turning progressively more unsettled. cooler towards the end of the week and heavy showers for the weekend. that s it from us. have a very good morning. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. they will have very innovative ways of telling the time for you. the bbc breakfast clock is disappeared. i

think this is more helpful. i have tried to manually set it and it is ten seconds fast. mine are spot on. there's the time. we will try to keep you up—to—date with all sorts of things. some very important news for you this morning. the prime minister is facing another barrage of criticism from his former chief adviser, dominic cummings, who has been speaking exclusively to the bbc. our political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster with all the details. adam, what's he saying? morning. the first thing to say was dominic cummings and the prime minister was super, super close. they work together very closely to the eu referendum campaign and when borisjohnson became prime minister. they had a spectacular falling out at the end of last year ever since dominic cummings has been hammering the prime minister, saying he put

political considerations ahead of saving people's during the pandemic particularly with the issue of the second lockdown wheel ended up living through in november. he has been doing this in a lot of tweets on social media, on blog posts. even writes newsletter you have to pay for to for to subscribe to. he sat in front of the committee in parliament. in alassane lots of this stuff is that this is the first time he has sat down and being grilled on television. the grilling is being done by laura. no—one was closer to the prime minister in government. since the better fallout, no one has been more vicious than him. architect of the brexit campaign, agitator in numberio, and top adviser in the pandemic. looking back to last autumn when coronavirus crept back, what does he now claim went wrong? the prime minister's attitude was that essentially the first lockdown

was a disaster, we should never have done it. he thought we should never have done the first lockdown? we should never have done the first lockdown, he said that repeatedly in meetings at number 10. by the middle of october then, this debate is still going on. his attitude at that point was a weird mix of partly, it is all nonsense and lockdowns don't work anyway and partly well, this is terrible but the people who are dying are are essentially all over 80, we can't kill the economyjust because of people dying over 80. a very serious claim to make. what evidence do you have of that? lots of people heard the prime minister say that. the prime minister texted back

to me and other people. in a series of whatsapp messages shared with the bbc on the 15th of october, borisjohnson appears to say... a lot of people listening to you today mightjust think, this is revenge. you lost the argument, you lost yourjob, and now you are angry and so you are attacking. it's revenge, isn't it? it's not about revenge. also it doesn't matter if it's personal. it doesn't matter if people are upset. a lot of people have a pop at me, you don't see me crying about it. the reason i am speaking out is i want people to be thinking about these questions. how are we governed? how is power actually exercised in number 10? what sort of things should be more transparent. at the end of october,

national lockdown returned and downing street told us... yet mr cummings claims at the very start in march, boris johnson were slow to take covid seriously. on the evening of wednesday the 18th, he was... the normal thing on a wednesday evening is to go and see the queen. therefore he was going to go and see the queen. what happened then? obviously, the health advice especially for the very elderly, people should take every precaution. he said, "that's what i do every wednesday. sod this. i'm going to go and see her." i said to him, "there are people in this office who are self isolating. you might have

coronavirus, i might have coronavirus. you can't go and see the queen. what if you see her and give the queen coronavirus. you obviously can't go." the possibility went through your head at that moment that the prime minister might pass coronavirus to the queen. yes. how did you persuade him not to do it? ijust said, if you go when you give her coronavirus and she dies, what are you going... you can't do that, you can't risk that. it's completely insane. and he said, he obviously basically hadn't thought it through. and he said, yes, beep, i can't go. downing street says that didn't happen. what do you say to that? do they? they have officially said that didn't happen? i know it happened and other people who were there know it happened. mr cummings became a nationalfigure for all the wrong reasons.

caught out by his own trip to county durham during the lockdown. i had repeated security problems at my house, going back to 2019. i was in discussions with the cabinet office in march about the situation. they had suggested maybe all of us moving into government accommodation. i said maybe but maybe i will move them all off to my dad's farm in durham. we talked about the different options when i talked to the pm about that. my wife is kind of ill but not with the kind of official symptoms exactly. has she got it? has she not got it? then you had the combination of security problems, which meant anyway we were going to get out. there was enormous public range. why didn't you just tell the truth at the time? well, the situation was just... it was an extremely chaotic situation. the original plan was, when i discussed with the prime minister on the saturday, and the sunday, given he knew what had actually happened, he agreed we should just say nothing

about it, almost ignore it. what happened on the monday is he suddenly changed his mind and said, "we can't stick with the original plan. you're going to have to explain it to people." i said, "i'm not going into all of the security stuff," and the whole thing becamejust a huge mess. as an advisor, dominic cummings was meant to stay in the background. after his spectacular bust up with boris johnson, that's not something he seems willing to do. and you can watch laura kuenssberg's interview with dominic cummings in full. it's on bbc two at seven o'clock this evening. number 10 number10 are number 10 are specifically denying the story that borisjohnson had to be stopped going to see the queen backin be stopped going to see the queen back in march last year and had put out a very general statement said the prime minister has done the right thing at the right time following the best scientific

advice. his advisers say you can say what you like and speculate what you like about what you thought about lockdown is but he did have three national lockdown. these are not necessarily rogue opinions dominic cummings has. a member of sage has a book out this week. he says he nearly quit the advisory body over very similar issues to the ones dominic cummings is raising. decisions made way back in october last year will still be scrutinised in a very big way this year and especially next year when all of this is subject to a public enquiry, one of the things dominic cummings has been campaigning for. thank you for all of that. you can see the interview at seven o'clock,

and it will also be available on the bbc iplayer. do you like our high—tech clock? we have analogue and digital for you. i try to manually reset this this morning. it is about a few seconds too fast. you know what day it is, don't you? it is going so well this morning. we are battling through. we're just days away from the opening ceremony of the olympic games in tokyo. but ahead of that, the start of olympic football actually gets underway tomorrow. team gb kick off against chile. but organisers will be concerned at yet more covid cases within the olympic village — two members of mexico's baseball team are the latest to test positive before their departure to tokyo. it follows news of a female gymnast from the usa team and a czech beach volleyball player also testing positive. staying with the olympics,

and in an exclusive interview for the bbc the duke of cambridge has been speaking to team gb boxing medal hope lauren price at kensington palace. the welsh fighter has been talking about her extraordinary life story and in this clip reveals how preparations for tokyo have been impacted by the pandemic. i qualified a couple of weeks ago in paris. going back, in 2019, ijust wonder european games and winning the european championships the following year. with the covid pandemic they got postponed. it was mentally tough and challenging at times. ., , ., ~ , mentally tough and challenging at times. ., i. ~ , i. times. how did you keep your mind and body busy _ times. how did you keep your mind and body busy and _ times. how did you keep your mind and body busy and active? - times. how did you keep your mind and body busy and active? to - times. how did you keep your mind and body busy and active? to be i times. how did you keep your mind l and body busy and active? to be fair to gb boxing. _ and body busy and active? to be fair to gb boxing, they _ and body busy and active? to be fair to gb boxing, they help _ and body busy and active? to be fair to gb boxing, they help me - and body busy and active? to be fair to gb boxing, they help me out - to gb boxing, they help me out massively. they sent me equipment, i was doing squats with wheelie bins. a lot of question marks in my head.

on the bbc sport website. and finally, if you thought roger federer continuing to play tennis at the age of 39, was impressive, well he's got nothing on this man. let me introduce you to leonid stanislavskyi, the world's oldest tennis player. he took up the sport when he was 30, and now at 97 he's still going strong. and he's currently in training for the 2021 super—seniors, world championship — due to be held in october in mallorca. imean, not i mean, not even seniors, super seniors. 97! that is so impressive. what is he doing to stay so flexible? that is good, isn't it estimate would it be illegal to throw in a drop shot on 97—year—old tennis player. if you are the same age, i think it would be fine. good

on him. that is obviously how dan plays tennis, with a sneaky drop shot. here's carol with a look at the weather. there are serious warnings out. met office has a new weather warning in full. it came into force injune. it runs right the way through until 2359 on thursday. it is an extreme heat warning. we are used to the weather warnings, green, amber and red for wind, weather warnings, green, amber and red forwind, rain weather warnings, green, amber and red for wind, rain and snow for example and it chisel based on impact like the ones ijust mentioned. —— it is all based. we are seeing high temperatures by day, not falling away much at night stop it impacts on health, things like

heat exhaustion, the tea, dehydration. it also impacts infrastructure as well. —— fatigue. it has been a misty and murky start for some of us. you can see the sunrise in peterborough. these are the temperatures. in guernsey it is 22 degrees at the moment, oxford 18, and belfast 12. for most of us are mild and warm start to the day. the mist we have lived quite quickly. a lot of dry weather and sunshine. more cloud across the north and the north—east. along the coastline todayit north—east. along the coastline today it will be cooler with sea breezes developing. you just have to move inland. we are back into the high figures. pressure across the far north of scotland under the

cloud. looking at 13 in lerwick. this is running through the temperatures in the evening. note the colours. we are not seeing huge jobs in the temperatures. with london, 22 degrees by 11. i will run this temperature through the rest of the night to tomorrow morning, gradually there is a slight decline. we are looking at 19 at six o'clock in the morning in london. another warm start to the day tomorrow and a difficult night for sleeping. high pressure still very much in charge of the weather. we will see higher temperatures once again return to northern ireland and into scotland. we have a fair bit of cloud across scotland and the north—east of england. most of that will tend to break up. you might see a bit clinging to the coastline. the coast will be cooler with onshore breeze. we are looking at a lot of dry weather. today and tomorrow you can

catch an isolated shower which could be heavy and boundary. the temperatures, 1a in lerwick, 25 in belfast. it could even be higher in southern parts of ireland tomorrow. that he is not without the rams of possibility. at the moment it looks like it will breakdown from the southin like it will breakdown from the south in the latter part of this week. thank you so much for the lovely numbers. they are still fiddling with the clocks. it has taken us nearly two hours. we have gone old style and is dire. you can have a boat at home. which one would you like us to keep? this is mine, digital one and this one is dan's. i think the bbc breakfast official

in situations that are dangerous you would go truant and with peer pressure stealing things from the local shop and drinking cans of beer at 11 years old. that is the situation that bullying puts people in, a very horrible experience. i am very pleased to support the diana awards. i honestly do not think people take the issue seriously enough and how much it can affect not only the lives of individuals that families as well. haifa not only the lives of individuals that families as well.— not only the lives of individuals that families as well. how did you ut that families as well. how did you put bullying _ that families as well. how did you put bullying behind _ that families as well. how did you put bullying behind you _ that families as well. how did you i put bullying behind you eventually? i did not, to be honest. when you are being bullied, because you feel are being bullied, because you feel a sense of weakness and you feel ashamed really, you think the issues are your own problem whereas usually theissueis are your own problem whereas usually the issue is with the bully himself.

that is why i for one did not speak up. you are scared, afraid. one day the bully picked on me, i could not avoid going to school and a couple of my mates in class so it happening in one of my friends stood up for me and gave the bully a letter and put him on his backside in the classroom, which gave me great pleasure and that was the end of the bullying. had it not happened, it could have continued for years and years stop hindsight is a wonderful thing. when you are older, you become more aware of things and learn to speak up about it. you are art of an learn to speak up about it. you are part of an anti-bullying _ learn to speak up about it. you are part of an anti-bullying initiative i part of an anti—bullying initiative called don't face it alone. a1% keep it secret because they fear it can make it worse. what you say to

people who are being bullied who did that? it is an irrationalfear, isn't it? if that? it is an irrational fear, isn't it? , ., that? it is an irrational fear, isn't it? ., ., isn't it? if you have not experienced _ isn't it? if you have not experienced bullying, l isn't it? if you have not| experienced bullying, it isn't it? if you have not i experienced bullying, it is isn't it? if you have not - experienced bullying, it is the isn't it? if you have not _ experienced bullying, it is the most horrible fear you are scared every day. i would encourage people to speak about it because help is available. this is what the diana awards are campaigning to do. other people must take responsibility as well. i think establishments, schools, individuals, bullying is not taken seriously enough with the effect it has on people. if we can get people to understand how serious an issue a kiss and raise awareness and get something done about it that can help and encourage people to do something about it. —— an issue it is. otherwise people will think it will make it worse. hopefully this

can help people speak up about bullying. it is something i think needs to be taken more seriously stop how do you deal with the bullying now? i haven't been bullied since then and i would encourage anyone who has been bullied to speak up anyone who has been bullied to speak up about it and seek help. this is why the diana rewards are there to raise awareness, not only for the individuals of the groups being bullied but to help other people as well. some of the leaves grow up to be decent people as well. —— some of those who bully. stay with us, headlines coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today — no jab, no entry — anger after the prime minister says only people who are fully vaccinated can enter night clubs and other mass events in england from september. the prime minister s former chief adviser dominic cummings tells the bbc borisjohnson put politics ahead of lives during the pandemic. the attitude at that point was a weird mix of partly it's all nonsense and lockdowns don't work anyway,

and partly, well, this is terrible, but the people who are dying are essentially all over 80. the businesses struggling as staff are told to stay home. more than half a million isolation alerts were sent via the nhs app in the first week ofjuly alone. as social mixing increases — how many more? and at what cost? we're nowjust days away from the opening ceremony at the olympic games in tokyo. but the action actually starts tomorrow as team gb women's football team take on chile. for many of us, starting off on a mystic murky note, but that will give way to a lot of sunshine, another hot day got the chance we could see an isolated shower. and the heat has led to the met office is issuing its first ever

safety warning for the hot temperatures. we will have advice for you on how to keep cool in the sun. good morning. it's tuesday the 20th ofjuly. our top story — hospitality bosses say plans to prevent un—vaccinated people from entering nightclubs in england are a "hammer blow" for the industry. the announcement, which is subject to approval by mps, came on the first day that clubs were allowed to re—open in more than 16 months. michael kill is from the nighttime industries association. there are a lot of young people who don't want to be vaccinated for their own reason, or can't be vaccinated for whatever reason, i think what the government are underestimating us those people who don't want to do it potentially seeking out other environments which are going to be more infectious than coming in to protected safe environments that we represent as licensed premises. so we are going to see a lot more illegal parties and events taking place for those people who don't want to engage in this process.

let's get more on this from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. this is something that will cause quite a healthy debate. and that has already started mps were discussing covid in parliament yesterday at exactly the same time as boris johnson was doing his press conference when he introduced this idea, you can already see the opposition starting to form around it. but i think what they will focus on, the opponents of this at the moment is getting the government to publish the scientific evidence that would justify this decision, because remember is recently as last week of the week before by the government was saying this is something that would be kept in reserve and would only be used if the covid situation deteriorated in the autumn. i'd also, we are still waiting for lots of details about this, we are all talking about it applying to nightclubs, but the government is so far saying it will apply to clouded indoor venues. far saying it will apply to clouded indoorvenues. so far saying it will apply to clouded indoor venues. so what of the

definition of a clouded indoor venue? ministers say it would not apply to pubs, but where else could it apply to apart from nightclubs? —— a crowded indoor venue. you might get a big handful of conservative mps opposing it, but it would only be able to prevent it happening if labour also oppose it. so keir starmer and koh's opinion on this is going to be really crucial. —— keir starmer and co. thank you, adam. andrew lloyd webber has said he is "heartbroken" after being forced to cancel the opening nights of his musical, cinderella, because a member of the cast tested positive for covid. he warned that the theatre industry is "on its knees" and said the current system of self—isolation is untenable. leigh milner reports from london's west end. it was meant to be england's so—called freedom day, but for andrew lloyd webber and the cast at this west end theatre, it was closure day. last night's opening performance of cinderella was cancelled

after a member of the cast tested positive for covid—19. those who were in close contact were given pcr tests. they all came back negative, but under government guidance, anybody who comes into close contact with someone who tests positive must self—isolate for ten days, guidance which andrew lloyd webber wants the government to change. what i can't get to grips with is that this government does not seem to understand that theatre is the lifeblood of our cities. every other country in the world seems to have done so. america has completely grasped this. we can't go on like this. theatre is now on its knees. there is no way forward. more than 1,200 guests were expected in the theatre tonight in the first full capacity performance of cinderella. 50% of the proceeds were also due to be donated to the nhs and stjohn's ambulance. please, please will this government

for once listen to us, listen, we do know what we are doing, we do. just listen, and enough of these platitudes and endless, endless blunt instruments that don't apply across the board. oliver dowden, secretary of state for digital culture media and sport, said he was deeply disappointed to hear about the cancellation of cinderella, tweeting, whilst the need to self—isolate is an economy—wide issue, i recognise the particular challenges it presents to the arts, and i am strongly making the case for that in government. it is not yet clear when cinderella will return to the stage, but one thing is for sure — for theatres like this to survive, the show must go on. leigh milner, bbc news.

a premier league footballer has been arrested over child sex offences. greater manchester police says a 31—year—old man was arrested on friday of last week. he is on police bail pending further enquiries. more than 2,000 firefighters are battling to control a massive wildfire in the us state of oregon. the fire, which has been raging for two weeks, has displaced thousands of people from their homes and destroyed 160 buildings. it's now the largest of more than 80 wildfires which are burning throughout the united states. the duke of sussex has announced plans to publish a memoir next year, in which he will share "mistakes and lessons learned." prince harry said he would reflect on "the highs and lows" of his life, and be "accurate and wholly truthful." proceeds will be donated to charity. the bbc has been told the duke has recently spoken privately with his family about writing the book. the world's richest man is preparing to propel himself to the edge of outer space later today — 62 miles above earth. amazon founderjeff bezos hopes the trip will mark a giant leap forward in commercial space travel. sophie long has this report from the launch site.

deep in the west texas desert, the richest man on earth is preparing to take his first passengers to space, making history and dreams come true. with him will be trailblazing aviator wally funk, who at 82 will become the oldest person ever to travel to space. also on board will bejeff bezos' younger brother mark, and joining them to enjoy a rare view of earth, dutch teenager oliver daemen. spaceships seem to be becoming the new super yachts. the launch comes just over a week after another billionaire realised his lifelong dream. sir richard branson may have been the first billionaire to make it to the edge of space, but when jeff bezos launches in his new ship, he will be travelling faster and will go higher. it will travel at more than three times the speed of sound, to 62 miles above the earth's surface,

with no human pilot on board. we've been training. this vehicle is ready, this crew is ready, this team is amazing, we just feel really good about it. the four passengers will float weightless for a few minutes before the capsule starts to free fall back to earth. parachutes will be released to soften its impact with the desert. if all goes according to plan, the four will emerge proof that for future tourism, the sky is no longer the limit. sophie long, bbc news, texas. thank you for all your comments about our clock experiment here. mine is clearer. it doesn't need to be a competition, the analog looks quite nice. i think the greatest achievement on this programme ever has been up to sink up the clocks so they are now almost to the second

correct. —— sync of the clocks. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. a new weather warning, joined the others that we have, the green yellow and red had we get for snow, wind, rain, for example, but this one is for extreme heat. and it is talking about the impact on infrastructure and health, especially for vulnerable people. it runs from now right up until 23.59 on thursday, so not much difference between the temperatures by day and by night, so no relief from that heat. what we have this morning as some heat that will lift, and we will see a fair bit of sunshine around, also quite a bit of cloud across the panel —— the far north of the country, some of that lingering in the north—east particularly close to the coast. it is around the coasts today that it will be cooler, because we will have sea breezes

develop. moving on land, temperatures 28 to 30 celsius in the south, 1a or 15 celsius. the temperature does not follow a terribly much by night, you can see still some reds and ambers on the chart. so by the time we get to the end of the night, we are still looking at temperatures are pretty high for some of us. as we head through tomorrow, again we will start off on a misty note for some, across parts of scotland down across the east of england for example, but like today, a lot of that will burn back towards the coast for some of it will linger, not all that, once again some sea breezes will develop. the chance of an isolated shower like today, but most of us won't see one, those are temperatures, 13 to about 30 celsius. but you will not tomorrow turning a bit warm across northern ireland and scotland, somewhere across the south of northern ireland could hit round about the 30 celsius murk, keeping a close eye on that. and as we head on into thursday, still a lot of dry weather around, still a fair bit of

sunshine as well, still some cloud across parts of the north and east, at times it will break, but we will continue with the hot weather for many parts of the uk. not really until we get into the latter part of the weekend, friday and the weekend, that it starts to break down from the south. thank you very much, carol, see you later. a director is very proud of this, he has managed to superimpose the analogue clock on louise's knees. so if i go in there... oh, this is weird. sorry, the fact we have lost our clock has sent us all a bit doolally today. here's another sentence that would have sounded very odd couple of years ago.

singing indoors and dancing with a partner are now permitted in england. most covid restrictions were lifted in england yesterday, sparking wild celebrations for some but also anxiety and trepidation for others. so, how many of us will return to our pre—pandemic routines? graham satchell has been finding out. this dance studio in south london is warming up before the main event. something we haven't done for a year and a half, which is dance with partners. i know you have been waiting for that to happen for a long time. , so this is the moment. grab your partners, go, go, go! lifting of restrictions in england means children here can dance togetherfor means children here can dance together for the first time since last year. the return of something once so normal now seems extraordinary. thejoy once so normal now seems extraordinary. the joy here for both the children and their parents clear to see. to

it may seem small change, but this return to normality means a huge amount. that was so special. we have not sung that one together for a long time now. it has been overly tricky 18 months, tojust be back, it feels like we are heading normality again. it isjust a like we are heading normality again. it is just a really special. it like we are heading normality again. it isjust a really special.— it isjust a really special. it has been a fantastic _ it isjust a really special. it has been a fantastic day, - it isjust a really special. it has been a fantastic day, i - it isjust a really special. it has been a fantastic day, i thoughtj it isjust a really special. it has i been a fantastic day, i thought we would _ been a fantastic day, i thought we would never believe this would happen, — would never believe this would happen, and it has, and it is better than— happen, and it has, and it is better than ever~ — soa so a complex picture in england, a sense for many that life is returning to normal, coupled with

the worry that this pandemic is far from over. you can really understand the emotions of being able to do what you love, can't you? yesterday morning we spoke to greater manchester's night time economy adviser — sacha lord — about the re—opening of nightclubs for the first time in 16 months. by teatime, however, the sector was reeling from another blow, after borisjohnson announced that all clubbers would have to be double vaccinated from the autumn. sacha lord joins us again now. thanks forjoining us again. how are you feeling?— you feeling? they give us 17 hours of freedom- _ you feeling? they give us 17 hours of freedom- i _ you feeling? they give us 17 hours of freedom. i think _ you feeling? they give us 17 hours of freedom. i think it _ you feeling? they give us 17 hours of freedom. i think it is _ you feeling? they give us 17 hours of freedom. i think it is quite - of freedom. i think it is quite alarming they are using this narrative of nightclubs, most people

think in the uk, well, it is on nightclubs, but actually, when you look at what they are saying, it is areas where there's congregations, large congregations of people, so that doesn't rule out theatres. this morning, the minister of small business wouldn't rule out props, wouldn't rule out places of work, and it is extremely, extremely worrying. he also said now they are going to look at this over the next few weeks, that is another few weeks of extreme concern for hospitality, and he also said they are now going to start to look at the technology. we know how poor track and trace has been, so there are so many questions, and i can tell you from speaking to colleagues amongst the whole industry, there is concern again, there is anxiety amongst the fifth biggest sector in the whole of the uk. d0 fifth biggest sector in the whole of the uk. ,, ., ., fifth biggest sector in the whole of theuk. ., ., ,, the uk. do you have an ethical issue with it, or is— the uk. do you have an ethical issue with it, or is it _ the uk. do you have an ethical issue with it, or is it more _ the uk. do you have an ethical issue with it, or is it more practical? - with it, or is it more practical? both, to be honest. i have had my vaccines, i urge everybody to have

the vaccines, but there is a choice then here, i don't think personally people should be pushed into something, i think everybody should have the choice. i had a debate last night, a friend of mine, and for many reasons, she won't have the vaccine. now she is in a position where she probably might not be able to take her four—year—old son to the theatre to go and see peppa pig in october. so what is it doing to young kids' mental health and things? the government clearly haven't looked at the financial impact of this, and there are so many unanswered questions now. again, the sector is on its knees. i again, the sector is on its knees. i suppose the counterargument is that it is a reasonable measure to try to protect people, and many of those who might need to be double vaccinated would already, and could already, be double vaccinated by the time this would come in at the end of september. i

time this would come in at the end of september-— time this would come in at the end of september. i agree with you, and aiain, of september. i agree with you, and again. anyone _ of september. i agree with you, and again, anyone who _ of september. i agree with you, and again, anyone who is _ of september. i agree with you, and again, anyone who is watching - of september. i agree with you, and again, anyone who is watching this, | again, anyone who is watching this, i would strongly urge them to get vaccinated. but i do believe there is choice. there were very many successful pilot events that were run recently, we saw a few weeks ago a camping festival for 10,000 people, we saw an event in liverpool, 5500 people, people were given the choice there, you have a flow test or you showed a vaccination, and i was practically zero transmission, so it can be done. it can be done safely, that is what events organisers can do. so we now have to sit and worry over the next few weeks to see exactly what the government are going to be asking us to do. it is going to be a case where large gatherings of people, you have to show now a passport to go to the trafford centre, wejust passport to go to the trafford centre, we just don't know, passport to go to the trafford centre, wejust don't know, do passport to go to the trafford centre, we just don't know, do we? what about the idea, i have some else speaking about this this morning, saying that potentially there would be a lot of events that now go underground. do you think that might happen? most definitely we will see an _ that might happen? most definitely

we will see an escalation _ that might happen? most definitely we will see an escalation of- that might happen? most definitely we will see an escalation of house i we will see an escalation of house parties, and how bad is that? our industry is licensed, it is regulated, we know we have security there, we have paramedics, and we may now push the scene underground, and that is extremely dangerous. and it is something that as an industry during this lockdown of 17, 18 months, we have done a very good job in preventing, so yeah, i do think we will see an escalation of this. weeks is not good enough, we now urgently need the government to come straight back to the table in the next few days and tell us exactly what this looks like. i next few days and tell us exactly what this looks like.— next few days and tell us exactly what this looks like. i suppose the small benefit _ what this looks like. i suppose the small benefit is _ what this looks like. i suppose the small benefit is that _ what this looks like. i suppose the small benefit is that a _ what this looks like. i suppose the small benefit is that a list - what this looks like. i suppose the small benefit is that a list of - what this looks like. i suppose the small benefit is that a list of the i small benefit is that a list of the swastika men, your crops could still remain open. —— at least if this was to come in, your clubs could remain open. it to come in, your clubs could remain oen. . to come in, your clubs could remain oen. , ., , to come in, your clubs could remain oen. . ., , ., to come in, your clubs could remain oen. , ., , ., , open. it is potentially large places of work, arenas, _ open. it is potentially large places of work, arenas, shopping - open. it is potentially large places| of work, arenas, shopping centres, we don't know. they must come back and just clarify exactly what you're talking about. it was very clear this morning they don't know, it was a kneejerk reaction that was created

having a little vote online about which we should stick with. at the moment, it is neck and neck. yours is a bit clearer, in fairness, i think i'm switching to digital. thanks forjoining us. other serious news around as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from the news team at bbc london and bbc south east today. a pathologist who carried out thousands of post mortem examinations across london faces being struck off. dr michael heath was reported to the general medical council by bereaved families. they claimed he d made obvious errors while examining their loved ones — leading them to believe they d cremated the wrong bodies. the cases expose wider concerns about the system, with experts calling for major reform. there is a lack of oversight, a lack of central funding, also a crucial lack of what one might simply call peer review. if no—one notices, then theyjust carry on cutting corners even more.

it's one of my big professional beliefs that one of the main reasons why we behave well and do good work is the thought that big brother is looking over our shoulder. in the coronial system, that is not the case. a teenager's been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following reports of a stabbing in brighton. officers were called to a flat in pelham street last night. the victim — a 20—year—old man — is in hospital in a serious condition. at least 430 migrants crossed the channel to the uk on small boats on monday — a new single—day record. the figure passes the previous daily high set in september 2020. in dungeness in kent, around 50 people were seen landing on a beach after crossing aboard in a single dinghy. bosses at gatwick airport have said despite lockdown restrictions lifting, business at the airport is 90% down, compared to pre—pandemic levels. the airport's chief commercial officer says that until further restrictions on travel lift, passenger numbers will remain low.

a full crossrail timetable will not be in operation until may 2023, the public accounts committee has been told. the elizabeth line was, originally due to open in december 2018, but has been beset by delays. however, the committee was told the route could be "mostly operational" by autumn 2022. a charity for the blinds calling for people to withdraw from rentable e—scooter trials. the national federation of the blind of the uk said they present "dangers for pedestrians and people using mobility aids." trial schemes of the scooters are being held in canterbury and some london boroughs. and now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. another very warm night last night. in central london, temperatures didn't drop much below 19 celsius. elsewhere in the mid—teens. this morning there is a bit of mistiness but that will lift. another hot day with plenty of sunshine. bit of fair weather cloud this afternoon bubbling up. temperatures in london around 30 celsius. further south a little cooler along

the east kent coast, an onshore breeze, the temperatures are a little cooler still. still very warm. the risk of a shower into this evening, could be quite heavy. you might get a rumble of thunder. that will clear, becoming dry again. a bit of mistiness potentially overnight. minimum temperature again london around 18 celsius. a little bit cooler elsewhere but still very uncomfortable for sleeping. we've got more fine, dry weather in the forecast but it is turning progressively more unsettled. cooler towards the end of the week and heavy showers for the weekend. that s it from us, we ll be have a very good morning. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what's on today's programme with kym and gethin. thanks, both. coming up on morning live... around 10 million people suffer

he had a long conversation with him. this is an important broadcast interview. tell us a bit about the first things he had to say. it interview. tell us a bit about the first things he had to say.- first things he had to say. it was iuite a first things he had to say. it was quite a surreal— first things he had to say. it was quite a surreal thing _ first things he had to say. it was quite a surreal thing to - first things he had to say. it was quite a surreal thing to do. - first things he had to say. it was quite a surreal thing to do. it. first things he had to say. it was quite a surreal thing to do. it is| quite a surreal thing to do. it is the first time dominic cummings has ever given a tv interview. given what he has been involved in in the last five years in politics, it was quite an extraordinary experienced. to pick up on one of the controversial things when he accused borisjohnson are putting politics before lives. he cracked open the downing street door in the autumn when from the middle of september corona by cases were starting to creep up again but the prime minister at the point did not want to return to a national lockdown. mr cummings claims that was for a controversial reason. let's have a listen. ., ., ., listen. the attitude at that point was a rare _ listen. the attitude at that point was a rare mix _ listen. the attitude at that point was a rare mix of _ listen. the attitude at that point was a rare mix of partly, - listen. the attitude at that point was a rare mix of partly, it - listen. the attitude at that point was a rare mix of partly, it is i listen. the attitude at that point

messages that what they have said is the prime minister did introduce a national lockdown on three occasions, guided by the best scientific advice stop these decisions are very difficult. lockdown, many would argue, is the best thing to do to try to control coronavirus. a lot of people will know the effect it had on businesses and livelihoods and people who needed other kinds of health treatment. that said, it is fascinating to get a flavour of what is going on at that particular period of time. people may think dominic cummings had a bust up with the prime minister and has been open about the fact he had an agenda with him. he denies it is about revenge against borisjohnson but there might be it. he against boris johnson but there might be it— against boris johnson but there miihtbeit. .. , , might be it. he claims he stopped the prime minister _ might be it. he claims he stopped the prime minister from _ might be it. he claims he stopped the prime minister from going - might be it. he claims he stopped the prime minister from going to l might be it. he claims he stopped i the prime minister from going to see the prime ministerfrom going to see the prime ministerfrom going to see the queen in person at the start of the queen in person at the start of the pandemic. the queen in person at the start of the pandemic-— the queen in person at the start of

minister and the queen took place on the phone, just before the queen went to windsor for the duration of the pandemic. downing street denied the pandemic. downing street denied the incident happened. a couple of other insiders say they remember this going on. downing street has said it did not take place. dominic cummings is one of the people who burst into the public consciousness for his own mistakes around his journey to county durham and became a household name for the wrong reasons. he is here painting a picture balsam of the things that happened at then it's a real tension and upset for the country. you could say i do not believe him because he has made all these mistakes and has a vendetta. he was in the room when some of the vital decisions were taken. i do not think the government can dismiss what he is saying out of hand. ., ., ., hand. you had eluded for the infamous _ hand. you had eluded for the infamous trip _ hand. you had eluded for the infamous trip to _ hand. you had eluded for the infamous trip to barnard - hand. you had eluded for the i infamous trip to barnard castle hand. you had eluded for the - infamous trip to barnard castle and he asked him about that. i did.

to isolate. nearly half a million alerts were sent in england in the week to 7thjuly, with another 10,000 sent in wales. for businesses where staff can't work from home that's massive. m&s is warning it may have to reduce some shop hours. rolls—royce says it's "approaching a critical point." and the uk major ports group says some of its sites have lost 10% of staff. uk hospitality estimates a fifth of staff in pubs, bars and restaurants are currently is in isolation. they say that could increase to one third within weeks. things are set to change from 16th august. those who've been fully vaccinated in england will no longer have to self—isolate after close contact with someone who tests positive. and some critical workers are set to be made exempt sooner — as long as they take daily tests. but it could be a long month for businesses struggling to stay on top of staffing levels. humphrey cobbold is the chief executive of puregym.

transmission. we have worked with the government last year to show the risk of infection in our facilities is low and we work hard to make sure we offer a safe place to work and work out. that is important for health and well—being. that said, we must keep going. as we open up more we are retaining ourfocus on must keep going. as we open up more we are retaining our focus on great cleaning, maintaining ventilation supporting members. some people want to wear masks and some do not. we need to make sure our facilities are safe and a great place for people to work out. . ~ safe and a great place for people to work out. ., ,, i ., safe and a great place for people to work out. ., ,, i., ., i ., work out. thank you for your time. lots of businesses _ work out. thank you for your time. lots of businesses are _ work out. thank you for your time. lots of businesses are concerned i lots of businesses are concerned about this lag. social mixing is increasing massively. we had four weeks to get to the point where those who are double jabbed can ignore the isolation. we have

already seen half a million being asked to isolate. lots of employers say they understand they support the scheme but others are saying they would like more support. let's find out what the weather is like. iam i am starting with a new weather warning. the weather warning put it in. injune and for the first time it has been used because we have not had the heat. it is called an amber extreme heat in the other weather warnings the met office has, wind, rain, ice and snow, this is impact based. transportation for example and delays. today we're looking at high temperatures and by night there is not much relief from the high

temperatures. they are starting off on a misty note. the mist is burning away. a lot dry weather and a lot the sky. the better plaid in the north and still some in the is. they will hang on to some especially on the coastline. —— the east. along the coastline. —— the east. along the coastline. —— the east. along the coast sea breezes will develop. the kids to be out isolated showers. like yesterday it could be heavy and tangerine. —— there could be the odd isolated shower. in scotland, the temperatures are more like average for this stage injuly. you can see in the evening the amber and red is still prevalent on the charts well into the night time. tomorrow morning, these other temperatures that will be greeting year. still a warm start to the day. as go through

the rest of the day tomorrow, high pressure still very much in charge of the weather. things still be fairly settled. getting a bit more north eastwards. more warmth in scotland and northern ireland than we are looking at today. you can see the cloud in the north and the east. most of this will tend to burn away and we will have another hot, dry and we will have another hot, dry and sunny day with the chance of an isolated shower which could be heavy and thundery. temperatures 26 in belfast, 27 in glasgow. some places could get up to 30, possibly 31 were something we are keeping a close eye on. on thursday, once again we start off with some cloud first thing. a lot of that will break up as we go through the course of the day. another hot, dry and sunny day with

the risk of a shower. there will be —— as they will be isolated and these other temperatures can still enter the high 20s. on friday we will see low pressure coming into the west introducing rain in southern areas that will travel further north. we are looking at rain and showers as we go through the weekend. how far north you travel is still open to question. thank you for keeping us company. he once again. —— thank you once again. good weather for a wedding, isn't it? if you were watching breakfast yesterday, you might have seen our reporter fi lamdin chatting to a very excited bride — lynn — as she prepared for a long—awaited wedding without covid restrictions. well, fi managed to wangle an invitation to the big day as well. let's take a look at how it went.

# wise men say...# postponed over a year ago, lynn and sean have been waiting a very long time for this moment. it is with great delight that i- pronounce that you are now husband and wife. can't stop smiling. we did it! we looked at different dates. how we came to manage july 19th and being freedom day is complete luck. but i think we deserve it after the year we've had. yes, yes. we would have had to have sat down last week. you weren't even allowed to stand up with a drink in your hand. and now look at us, we're all stood up, drinks in hand, laughing, joking. it'sjust a party. incredible, isn't it? it's a party. no masks. and for most of the family, it was their first reunion since lockdown. what's it like? brilliant, that's what it's like. it seems like forever since we last saw each other, so it's really nice for us all to be here together, and actually to meet all the nephews and nieces, cos last time we saw them,

they were children. now they are young men and young women. it's just absolutely beautiful to be here. both lynn and her maid of honour katie are midwives. with infection rates rising and many isolating, they were desperately hoping today would actually happen. my daughter became positive, and i've just never cleaned so much in my life, but because of being a midwife, i knew how to, you know, put on the mask and gloves, and ijust made sure that i stayed safe the whole two weeks and cleaned. over and over and over. she would have killed me if i wasn't here today, and we were very close. i'm 0k at the moment, and i will be showing her my lateral flow saying it was negative. because if she had caught it from her daughter, she wouldn't have been able to come. and what would that have done to your wedding? 0h! it would have broken my heart a little bit. yeah. we have been best friends for a very long time. gone through a lot together, haven't we?

yeah. with no restriction on numbers, lynn and sean could invite everyone, all 125 on the list. guests were encouraged to do lateral flow tests before coming today, and ten had to pull out this morning, testing positive for covid or having to isolate after being pinged by track and trace. others who are shielding decided not to come. the groom's mother was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, and has hardly left her home in two years. i have been anxious, a bit worried about mixing, because this is the first time i've mixed with more than six people in two years. and particularly staying at a hotel and travelling in taxis. fortunately, most of it is outside, but we are going to go inside in a minute for the meal. but i've brought a special sparkly mask for the occasion, so i'm just going to

wear that indoors. this is such a special day, so what better day to take a risk? and then the moment everyone's been waiting for. this dance floor is once again legal. music plays we've spent two years ofjust working and going home and not having fun, really, and i think this special celebration of a childhood friend today, to be able to have a few drinks, putting music on and just dance with her, isjust... it's like best wedding present ever for her and for us. feels good to be finally dancing again. freedom day, woo—hoo! they've all had to wait a while for this wedding, but this celebration and this party is certainly one that these guests and this couple will always remember. fiona lamdin, bbc news.

i miss imissa i miss a good boogie! one of the new strictly professionals will be with us later, kai. a lot of us will be flocking to our coastal towns for a holiday this summer but many of those communities would desperately like to attract incomers for a lot longer than a few days. scarborough is one of the places which is struggling to attract enough professionals — like teachers and health care workers — to live and work there. our media and arts correspondent david sillito can tell us more. morning. good morning. this has been a voyage of nostalgia. my hometown, my family go back generations here. i do not know how you measure hope. you see the no vacancies sign, the staff wanted signs stop scarborough

is definitely having a bit in the post—lockdown moment. i took a dip in the sea a few days ago. everyone i was with was a new arrival in the town. there were artists, women teaching in sheffield, via zoom of course. they are saying if you can work from home, you can work anywhere, why not work with a view like this?

if you're going to come to scarborough, there's only one way to start the day. meet the ladies of scarborough sea swim. here, you go in there, you could be feeling a bit rubbish. you come out, you feel like superwoman. there are dolphins in the bay, there's porpoises. it's just astonishingly lovely. we have something else in common beyond the love of an early morning dip. came to scarborough about two and a half years ago. it was literally a whim. my mum now lives in scarborough, moved up from northamptonshire. new arrivals, making art, online teaching. it's the opposite to the journey i took. i grew up here. my grandfather was a borough engineer in its heyday. one of his projects was the town's famous miniature railway. 90 years on, much has changed. the variety theatres have gone, along with some of the old attractions. the pavilion hotel was replaced with this... nevertheless, much of it is unchanged and,

as lockdown eases, it's busy. i went to meet the spokeswoman for the local hospitality association and realised we were in the same class at school. so how has business been over the last few weeks? very good. it means we're full, and people are staying for a bit longer. obviously, they're missing the breaks abroad, so instead of two, three nights a week, three and four nights some weeks, so that's very good. it feels much the same as it was when i was a teenager some a0 years ago but one thing has changed. for someone like me, on free school meals at the local comp, the chance of success these days is much lower. goodness me. it's exactly the same. i went back to my old school. the pupils werejust like me, aged 15. will you be in scarborough when you're 25? i don't think so. would there be anything that would keep you here?

um. . . probably not. it's that issue that's also affected schools in the area. scalby is doing well at the moment but there have been struggles. this was a great school when i was here but it's had big ups and downs, hasn't it over the years, what went wrong? i think schools have struggled in the area for recruitment. there's a real problem about getting working age professional people to come to scarborough then. definitely. the journey down the a64. yeah. and it's a fantastic place. did anyone say to you, "what are you doing going to scarborough?" they did. but we've got the north york moors on our doorstep, we've got dalby forest up the road and an hour that way takes you to the yorkshire dales. you couldn't really want for more, actually. absolutely no regret. maybe this is a moment of change. kane cunningham, a local artist,

is certainly seeing something. i've always believed in scarborough and i think... i'm seeing now a lot more people coming to scarborough from across the uk. if you're going to work from home, why not do it with a view like this? the schools, the sea swimmers, they all want to challenge prejudices. they even challenged mine about going into the water. actually, it's not that bad. it really isn't that cold, is it? this is fantastic. the water is even more perfect today. could we have got better weather? let's ask some more questions. you are not scarborough born and bred but you are committed to the town. what would you like to see change further?—

to the town. what would you like to see change further? echoing what you said earlier with _ see change further? echoing what you said earlier with the _ see change further? echoing what you said earlier with the teacher _ see change further? echoing what you said earlier with the teacher from - said earlier with the teacher from sheffield... latte said earlier with the teacher from sheffield- - -_ sheffield... we have lost their sound. sounded _ sheffield... we have lost their sound. sounded like _ sheffield... we have lost their sound. sounded like the - sheffield... we have lost their sound. sounded like the lead l sheffield... we have lost their - sound. sounded like the lead came out. we have lost the clock and the sound. i was genuinely interested in hearing what he had to say. we will be going to weston—super—mare and get some idea about how to... do we have a live shot? yes, we did. lots of people enjoying the hot weather that also had to keep safe as well in the heat. that is coming up a bit later. —— how to keep. in the newspapers he will have seen the faces of four strictly

professionals. jeanette manrara is moving to it takes two. one of the new professionals will be with us before we finished today. the time is just coming up to 8.59am. you're watching bbc breakfast.

hi, good morning, it's tuesday. welcome to bbc news, i'm victoria derbyshire and here are your headlines: the prime minister's former chief adviser, dominic cummings, tells the bbc borisjohnson put politics ahead of people's lives during the pandemic. the attitude at that point was a weird mix of... um...partly, "it's all nonsense and lockdowns don't work anyway" and partly, "well, this is terrible, but the people who are dying are, "essentially, all over 80." what do you make of dominic cummings' claims? message me on instagram or twitter @vcderbyshire or email victoria@bbc.co.uk. we'll ask the business minister about them in half an hour. no jab, no entry. the pm says that from september only

the fully—vaccinated can go to nightclubs and mass events.
