point you in the direction of some data that was released a little earlier on, i think from bristol universitylking about the fact that what we are talking about here is actually more deadly, and there seems to be growing evidence in the u.k., that has unfortunately front run that story due to this variant being seen first in kent , and that data does suggest it is more deadly, which would be bad news. alix: i want earmuffs for that for right now. guy: let's move on and talk about some of the corporate news we have been focusing on. ge has agreed to sell its jet leasing business to rival aircap out of ireland, a $30 billion deal, as the pandemic continues to weigh on the travel industry. for more, let's bring in brooke sutherland of bloomberg opinion. these are the two biggest lessors in the world. what is the logic of bringing these together? brooke: combined, these companies could have more negotiating power. they are already massive buyers of boeing and airbus planes, so i think it is a fair question of how much incremental negotiating power you get when you're talking about this scale, but

we can speak now to professor adam finn, who�*s professor of paediatrics at the university of bristolpokesperson you quoted is correct, that the studies that will show us that the studies that will show us that the studies that will show us that the immunogenicity of the vaccines in children are acceptable are still underway. so i think it is immature to conclude that there will be a programme for children, let alone that it will start in august. the way that particular piece was written in the telegraph seems to have suggested that i was the person that told them that, and i certainly wasn�*t. that told them that, and i certainly wasn't. . ~ that told them that, and i certainly wasn't. ., ,, , ., ., . ., wasn't. ok, thank you for clearing that u -. wasn't. ok, thank you for clearing that up- we _ wasn't. ok, thank you for clearing that up. we are _ wasn't. ok, thank you for clearing that up. we are giving _ wasn't. ok, thank you for clearing that up. we are giving about - wasn't. ok, thank you for clearing that up. we are giving about 3 - that up. we are giving about 3 million doses

as well as this real—world data, i want to share the results of a study by the university of bristolatients over 80 who were admitted with serious respiratory disease in bristol and the results showed that a single dose of both the pfizer or 0xford/astrazeneca jab offers around 80% protection against hospitalisation after two weeks, even amongst the most frail and those with underlying medical conditions. again, as with the data on this that were published last week, the effect was slightly stronger in the oxford jab than with pfizer. what this corroborates is what we have seen over the past couple of weeks — the hard evidence vaccines work. they are the best way of securing our freedom vaccines work. they are the best way of securing ourfreedom because vaccines work. they are the best way of securing our freedom because they are the best way of protecting us. as of midnight last night, 21.3 million people had been vaccinated. and i can tell you for the first time that we have vaccinated now two fifths of the entire adult population of the united kingdom. yesterday i was in scotland
