jessica parkerjoins us now. jessica, what is the government doing to tackle this? off the back of the review you mention, the government has launched an action plan to try and improve those figures so what they are talking about in that action plan includes measures such as improving joint working in the criminal justice system so for them is a better supported. justice system so for them is a bettersupported. —— justice system so for them is a better supported. —— victims. what ministers are saying is they want to improve, return the volume of cases going through the courts to the rates we were seeing back in 2016 and they want to do that by the end of this parliament, probably around 2023 - 24. robert of this parliament, probably around 2023 — 24. robert buckler apologised for the declining rates but labour saying these are crocodile tears saying these are crocodile tears saying it is not good enough. the shadowjustice secretary has blamed a decade of clouds for the situation. —— cuts. he says that if there is no apology, thejustice secretary should resign. a source is accused labour complaint politics in what they say is a serious issue. the former commons speaker and conservative mp, john bercow, has revealed he has joined the labour party. in a newspaper interview, mr bercow said the government "needed to be replaced", and called borisjohnson's conservative party "reactionary, populist and nationalistic". the government says his move isn't a surprise and its continuing to pursue an ambitious agenda. seaside resorts are bouncing back faster than big cities when it comes to in—shop spending — that's according to new research. it suggests large urban centres are still struggling to attract shoppers, partly due to office employees continuing to work from home. our business correspondent, katie prescott, has this report. remember this? beaches in the uk a few weeks ago and, whilst the heatwave may be over for now, the warmth has stayed in the economies of seaside towns. they have seen a bigger bounce back in the number of visitors than in any other part of the country. in the last weekend of may, blackpool saw its numbers up 147%. southend 134%. bournemouth 127% and brighton 119%. boosted by weekend visitors to the beach. but in our major cities, like here in london, it is a completely different picture. the trend here is for people to continue to work from home so they are not in the centre, spending money in the shops and cafes as they once were. and the centre for cities says that if this trend continues into the autumn, then our big cities will see an even bigger economic hit. smaller and medium size city centres, have much more local catchment area so traditionally where they are pulling from is very much within very local distance. and the second thing, particularly with seaside towns, is that it appears that we are seeing a revisiting of the great british seaside and are seeing people going back to seaside towns such as blackpool and brighton and bournemouth and taking advantage of both the good weather but of course also the restrictions in terms of not being able to go abroad. so while the seaside towns might start to suffer if the travel restrictions and the weather turns, for now the sun is shining in their favour. katie prescott, bbc news. more than 800,000 jobs in the uk's travel sector could be at risk — that's the warning from a union representing aviation workers. the british airline pilots association is appealing for urgent action from the government to end restrictions on travel, which it calls "ludicrously cautious". the government says it is working with the sector to navigate the challenges. the best industry estimates at the moment are that aviation will take 4—5 years to recover and some sectors of the market, some business travel, probably will not recover for longer than that. it is a devastating load to whole of the aviation sector but that is trouble for the uk economy. if we do not have a thriving aviation sector, then instead of global britain we will have grounded britain. the number of people who have died from coronavirus in brazil has passed half a million — the second highest death toll in the world after the us. experts fear the outbreak will continue to worsen in the coming weeks because of slow vaccination rates and the start of winter. there have been further warnings of wildfires for much of america's south west as the region battles an intense heatwave. mountain ranges across arizona have been scorched and a state of emergency has been declared in california where temperatures have climbed above 54—degrees celsius. residents have been urged to stay indoors and limit their use of energy and water after a severe drought left rivers and reservoirs running dry. wales will be looking to secure their place in the euros knock—out stage when they take on italy in rome later today. wales have all—but—guaranteed their spot with four points so far, thanks to a draw with switzerland, followed by a win over turkey. italy are already through to the last 16, having won their first two games. good luck to wales and everyone supporting

morning's weather. it is father's day, can you get out and enjoy it? that question. this is this time last sunday with beautiful sunshine and warmth and we were talking about temperatures in the mid— 20s down to the east of england. it was actually warmer further west. england. it was actually warmer furtherwest. look england. it was actually warmer further west. look at this, and easterly breeze developing and temperatures will be down considerably today. that said there will be dry weather around once we get rid of the nuisance front that has been bringing rain, some heavy through the night but the starting to ease away. the rain pivots across the pennines and down into northern england and north wales as well. it will ease off into the north sea. cloud and a drizzly murky start for many but hopefully improving in the afternoon. for scotland and northern ireland a greater chance of starting the rain with some sunshine coming through but also some few sharp showers developing across the goddess boarded the northern ireland. there is the easterly feed. the breeze will be no further on monday and it will bring a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather on exposed east posts. highest value through this afternoon are still likely to be 22 degrees in the london area if the sunshine comes through. risk of some showers in south—east scotland overnight but at the same time a weather front will bring rain, some turning quite heavy once again across the south coast of england. the temperature will by and large hold up into double figures and it is this low pressure that will keep on our toes for tomorrow. pressure that will keep on our toes fortomorrow. it pressure that will keep on our toes for tomorrow. it will bring the heaviest of the rain across northern france and the low countries there is the potential on the northern edge that we will continue to see some wet weather so favoured spots for that unsettled story on monday will be in the south of the m4 corridor, really. keep an eye on that rain. a lot of cloud through england and wales with the best of the sunshine in scotland and northern ireland but that freshening north—east breeze will make it feel disappointingly call for the summer solstice. not the best day, really. as we move through monday night the temperature will fall away even further, perhaps dropping close to freezing in the sheltered glens of scotland. a chilly start to tuesday morning but tuesday actually has the potential to be one of the best days through the week because obviously with clear skies a dry story and more in the way of sunshine to cloud and rain gathering into the far north—west by the end of the day and an indication of another weather front bringing some rain into scotland and northern ireland during wednesday and thursday. that will push steadily south with low pressure sitting across england and wales until the end of this week. changeable. that is the story as we go through this week. we will take that. that is good for the gardens. footprints belonging to what are believed to be the last dinosaurs to have roamed the uk — have been discovered close to the white cliffs of dover. a study of the fossils revealed this week that as many as six different species' footprints have been identified. joining us now is the study�*s lead author, professor david madrill from the university of portsmouth. good morning to you. explain first of all how you came to be involved in this study. of all how you came to be involved in this study-— in this study. because a couple of cu s in this study. because a couple of au s that in this study. because a couple of guys that l _ in this study. because a couple of guys that i know, _ in this study. because a couple of guys that i know, steve _ in this study. because a couple of guys that i know, steve frederickj guys that i know, steve frederick and phil hartland down in kent made this discovery on the beaches just between folkestone and over and they found some rather strange looking structures in the sandstone there and they thought they might be dinosaur footprints. and they thought they might be dinosaurfootprints. they and they thought they might be dinosaur footprints. they started to do some work down there and eventually they uncovered not just footprints but some tracks and asked if i would come along to have a look at them and low and behold the skies were damp right, they had actually found a lot of dinosaur footprints. that is not unusual, there are many places where you can find dinosaur footprints in britain. but that section of coast between folkestone and dover, the rocks there of an age around 100 million years or so and thatis around 100 million years or so and that is the last time in which dinosaurs could walk in britain. after that time period, britain was completely flooded, you will nowhere for dinosaurs to walk. 50 completely flooded, you will nowhere for dinosaurs to walk.— for dinosaurs to

are the last dinosaurs, as you say - for dinosaurs to walk. so these are the last dinosaurs, as you say in i the last dinosaurs, as you say in this part of the world. and what i find fascinating is that they discovered these footprints about ten years ago i think. it is taken a long time to really work out what they are, what they tell us about what was happening at that time. about the diversity of dinosaurs that you found. it about the diversity of dinosaurs that you found.— about the diversity of dinosaurs that you found. it took a long time to net the that you found. it took a long time to get the story — that you found. it took a long time to get the story out _ that you found. it took a long time to get the story out because - that you found. it took a long time to get the story out because when| to get the story out because when you first find dinosaur footprint, sometimes it takes some convincing the public that what you have is a dinosaur footprint. the public that what you have is a dinosaurfootprint. very the public that what you have is a dinosaur footprint. very often there are so many dinosaurs walking around that they plough up the ground, much like cows walking through a field. where they all go through the gate it would be difficult to find a single power footprint because they all get turned up. eventually they found some convincing ones and it was those convincing ones that made them asked me to come down to have a look. and the skies have done a greatjob. they mapped them out and photograph them and they realised that there were many different types. it is difficult to match a particular print to a species of dinosaur but it is very easy to match a footprint to a particular group of dinosaurs and over the times that they have been looking they managed to find footprints that matched meat—eating dinosaurs, the therapy odds, the honour supports, animals like iguanodon and also the saw pods and the ones that look like armoured tanks. amongst all those footprints there was more than one type of meat—eating dinosaur so there were at least three different groups of dinosaurs within those groups of dinosaurs within those groups probably different species as well. that is phenomenal. they were all wandering around on a particular beach 100 million years ago. find beach 100 million years ago. and what does this _ beach 100 million years ago. and what does this tell us and how useful will these findings be in our overall study of dinosaurs, particularly those in britain? firstly it shows that throughout the time when they could have been dinosaurs wandering around britain they were and they were diverse with many different types of dinosaurs. these are not the largest dinosaurs in the world. they are medium—size dinosaurs, ten, 15 metres, something like that. not a big tyrannosaurus rex, unfortunately but they are a good size dinosaur. and there is a good size dinosaur. and there is a good spread, some herbivores, some meat eaters and different types of herbivores. but what intrigues me is that if you look at the type of strider they have been found in, up until very recently, until the footprints were discovered by stephen, most geologists thought that these rocks were laid down in water far too deep to have dinosaurs in. but once you find dinosaur footprints, unless they were walking along the bottom of the sea, the water must be very shallow. indeed this sandstone is likely to have been a beach environment, a sandy beach. it would have been a long beach, we can trace these strata all the way along the kent coast and into sussex. it would been a fabulous beach on the seaward side, presumably the meat—eating dinosaurs with their scavenging on damp fish and things washed up and on the landward side the vegetation overhanging the beach would have been browsed by the saw pods the ankle saws and the on orthopod dinosaurs. and it would also almost be a dinosaur highway. it would not surprise me if the meat—eating dinosaurs were having a go at some of the herbivores. but what is really intriguing is that once you get into strata that indicate it is younger than these rocks they were all deposited in deeper water and there was nowhere for a dinosaur to walk. they may have been a few small islands in scotland over in the wealth massive but unlikely to have been large enough to have had substantial faunas of the diversity that we found downing kent. lloathed substantial faunas of the diversity that we found downing kent. what an amazin: that we found downing kent.

have a good team spirit, wales, and that could potentially get something from this game but it will be difficult because italy are unbeaten in 29 matches. a warm —— a huge match. spotlight then to wales to take on italy later on. italian football is having a renaissance. the national team has played 29 games without loss, to bear the azzurri here, will require, well, an olympic event. commentator: that's another brilliant ball. and it is in this time! wales arrive buoyed by wednesday's 2—0 win against turkey. the result means they are almost guaranteed a place in the next round but they have not come to rome to relax. we still have the mentality we want to try and win the group, we want to try and win the game. i think that is the best way to approach this and we will be doing all we can do that. the players know the atmosphere in the stadium will be intense, intimidating, with only a few—hundred welsh fans to cheer them on. thousands more have stayed at home heading the official advice not to travel because of the pandemic. locatelli — that's two! the home team have also qualified for the next round but, with the expectation of a nation mounting, they will not take wales for granted. translation: wales are a very difficult side to face _ because they have been right up into the fifa ranking for a number of years. that also proved they are quality players, they are also a british team so they are a very physical team and it will be a difficult match. the last time wales beat italy was in cardiff almost 20 years ago. there is at least a little hope in the eternal city that history can be repeated. there were some brilliant games at the euros yesterday. germany had to come from behind to beat portugal 4—2 in munich. cristiano ronaldo had put portugal in the lead with his third of the tournament. but two own goals meant that germany were ahead at the break. and second half strikes from kai havertz and robin gosens put the germans in control with diogojota's goaljust a consolation for the portugese. world champions france were held to a 1—1 draw, atilla fiola put hungary ahead just before half time but france were able to claw back an equaliser in the second half through antoinne griezzman spain played out a 1—1 draw against poland, alvaro morata had put them ahead but robert lewandowski pulled it back for poland in what is a big point for them england had to make do with a draw in the one—off test match with india. after the tourists produced a brilliant batting display on the final day. it had been looking good for england

continue to rise. professor adam finn made the comments while stressing the importance of the vaccine programme in helping to reduce the impact on hospitalisations and deaths. here to discuss this

have had both jabs, even if they do catch it, they have not been unwell enough to go to hospital and that is a good sign compared to where we were in previous lockdowns. brute compared to where we

was overwhelming the nhs so nothing else could happen apart from looking after people with covid so we would like not to get to that stage again and vaccines are helping, we're controlling people

seeing evidence that it is applicable to different age groups? what we have been seeing, suddenly as local cases have been increasing, people have been looking at their risk again. we have had older people who should have had the jab a few months ago and were very hesitant, i think now they have come forward and are having theirjabs. lots of younger people seem to understand that this is one of the ways they can start getting back to some kind of normal life so they are turning up. we are seeing more treatment women who are happy to take it up because the understanding is that jab meant you are safer than getting covid. there are still some people who have questions and myself and colleagues around the country spend a lot of time talking to people about the risk and encouraging them to go ahead and have the vaccination because it is suitable for the vast majority of people. we because it is suitable for the vast majority of people.— because it is suitable for the vast majority of

work, which comes with the visa, has sometimes led to dangerous situations. tragically, this was the case for mia ayliffe—chung and tom jackson who, five years ago, were murdered while working in rural queensland. now — in a new trade deal — the uk and australian governments have agreed to scrap the agricultural work requirement. mia's mother rosie — who has long campaigned for a change to the rules — joins us now. you have been working on this for so, so long. how did you become aware that this obligation to work in these kinds of environments was such an issue to young travellers in australia? my such an issue to young travellers in australia? ~ , :. such an issue to young travellers in australia? ~ , :, :, :, australia? my daughter told me that she was going _ australia? my

and that was the time i heard about the scheme. when she arrived started telling me about the conditions she was working in, i started to be alarmed back then. she was talking about a lack of regulation, a lack of induction, talking about the dangers in the field, as time progressed she was only in the hospice for a few days and i started to realise that she was afraid. i later found she was put into a room with a guy who was presenting with mental health issues and was evidently obsessed with her and she was asked to move rooms but was not given permission. she was murdered one night. she was dragged out of her bed and killed and tom jackson tried to save her life, very bravely and daniel richards state with a while she died and tom's life was taken that night as well. it

that in itself put them at risk. i met people who were put out on the road, in the middle of the outback, at three o'clock the morning, with all their belongings tipped literally onto the road. the risk out there — australia has its fair share of serial killers so just to do that in itself was incredible to me. these often not necessarily farmers but label contract hires could treat young

aware that this is just the first step because, from an international perspective, they will be other europeans and asians and pacific islanders that will take their place and the imbalance of power between the farmer or the employer and the worker, the migrant worker, is still that because it still exists for other nationalities. while i feel internally grateful to borisjohnson for bringing our

the subject. i have revisited and revisited the grief and that has been my therapy so in a sense, you are my therapist. i talked to journalists all the time and they make me face that event so that has been incredible for me and i am now in a place i never thought i am now in a place i never thought i would reach where we are running a business, i live in this beautiful place and i have found a

have been all about the heat and sunshine and i would be telling you to go out and enjoy it. today i can go out and enjoy the weather but the temperature will not be the same. mid 20s all the way down through the east coast this time last week today temperatures are subdued and it will be a little disappointing. there temperatures are subdued and it will be a little disappointing.— be a little

is| also some rain around, some has be a little disappointing. there is - also some rain around, some has been quite heavy through the night stop the weather front is starting to ease in the north sea but the rain will take time to clear. it will do so, we have also had thunderstorms off the kent coast as well but the most persistent rain at the moment stretches across the pennines into the north of england and north wales which has left a lot of low cloud and drizzle as well so it is a drab start to our sunday morning but the story will improve. sunny spells and scattered showers moving through scotland and northern ireland as we go through the day. the rain is easing through england and wales and hopefully conditions will dry and brighten up with glimpses of sunshine coming through as well. an easterly breeze, that is why phil is noticeably cooler along the north sea coast. 15— 16 degrees here but a little more shelter for the west, high teens and 22 degrees inside. a few showers in eastern scotland but more persistent rain pushing on. monday is the summer solstice but there is nothing summerlike about the weather story across southern england with this area of low pressure particularly bringing some rain and it will hoverfor particularly bringing some rain and it will hover for much of the day. it will stay green with outbreaks of rain and some heavier times. further north the best of the sunshine on monday through scotland and northern ireland but the north—easterly wind will continue to make it clear and disappointingly cool for the time of year really. a top temperature of 12- 18 year really. a top temperature of 12— 18 degrees, down on where it should be for latejune. and with clear skies continuing through the night the temperature will fall away into single figures. little more comfortable forgetting a decent night sleep but we could a touch of frost believe it or not in the shelter glens of scotland. on tuesday we can see the best chance of the dry sunny weather and as we go through the week it does look as though conditions will be a little warmer and a little more mystic. great. improving through the week. we can catch up on the latest technology news now — with this week's edition of click. lovely to see you out in the sunshine. the sunshine is wonderful but at this time of year we usually enjoy the los angeles sun. adding ready for e3, the massive videogames convention. even though we are not in la we would dress like wish are. —— we will dress like we are. this is what e3 looks like. this is what e3 sounds like. all roar. basically, the gaming world takes over la's convention centre, theatres and hotels to launch the latest games and consoles with as much pizazz as tinseltown can muster, which is a lot. for the second year running, la won't be crammed with gamers because the whole event has been moved online. yeah, i do hope that hollywood has another industry to fall back on. now, all of this means that marc cieslak cannot live the la life while he covers the expo, but hilariously, he still has to keep la hours. so here's his bleary—eyed report! we had some of this... you are go for launch. ..but none of this. cheering and applause. the covid—19 pandemic means the annual e3 games convention has done away with its usual physical event in favour of an online affair. i'm in london, not la, and there is an e3 event, of sorts, on. first out of the blocks this online—only e3 were ubisoft. they'd drafted in an actor who's broken bad and mopped up a mandalorian to star as the villain in their new game, far cry 6. these fish? giancarlo esposito is starring as anton castillo, the big bad running a fictional caribbean dictatorship in open world shooter far cry 6. the title's brought into sharp focus the issue of politics, or political themes, in games. the reality is, every piece of work you put out in the world is political to some degree. whether it's a film, a book, a tv show or game, far cry 6 is no different. so what interests me is — is, you know, what are we talking about? what themes are we hitting, you know? for example, we talk about the rise of fascism, we talk about human rights, we talk about imperialism — in the context of a revolution, a modern revolution. after developing the tie—in game to james cameron's first avatar movie — a title which, it's fair to say, failed to set pandora alight — ubisoft�*s having another stab at a game starring nine foot tall blue cat people. details about the next avatar film are thin on the ground but the event's cinematic suggests the game will focus on adventures in the movie's universe, rather than a retread of the big screen experience. xbox was the next show in the e3 line up and after spending the gdp of a small country on acquiring mega publisher bethesda, expectations were high. halo infinite was supposed to launch alongside the xbox series x. however, when fans got a first look at the game last year, it's putting it mildly to say they were unimpressed. in fact, adverse fan reaction forced developers 343 into delaying the game to spend more time tweaking it. game voiceover: the flag is ours. the most important thing is the quality of the games. we know that. our customers tell us that. our own teams feel that. and it's been a difficult year when you think about production in the time of covid—19. we took the feedback from people. we brought in new leadership and this was a big time for us to show multiplayer, you know? halo's multiplayer's always been such a strength. xbox played it safe by showing multiplayer gameplay, which included looks at special armour fan favourite weapons like the energy sword, and in a challenge to the likes of call of duty: warzone, halo multiplayer will be free to play. i think you see how these free—to—play multiplayer games have really done well. and when you have multiplayer, it really is about a vibrant and growing player base, and that's our goal. and we've always said, when everyone plays, we all win. # tell me what you want and i'll tell you what i'm gonna do. forza 5 horizon heads to mexico, demoing a jungle rally from its campaign mode and some incredible landscapes, along with very, very shiny cars. but one of the biggest ticket items came courtesy of that $7.5 billion acquisition of zenimax — bethesda's parent company. this might be the first new games franchise in 25 years from the developer behind the fallout and elder scrolls games but bethesda still hasn't shown us any starfield gameplay. i think the problem, for me, with starfield is that we don't really know what the game is going to be like to play. we know it's gonna be open world, you're gonna have the freedom to do what you want, but that trailer did a really bad job of showing me why i should be excited, why i should be, you know, adding it to a wish list somewhere to make sure that i'm, you know, in the know for all of the new information. like, it looked fantastic, but i think there was such a disconnect between the presentation and the actual reality of what their game is going to be. we did get a very atmospheric cinematic and a launch date — 11 november 2022 — for this hugely anticipated sci—fi rpg. it will also arrive day one on xbox's subscription service, game pass. but what about the big no—show? playstation! sony bowed out of e3 back in 2019. does its absence leave the field clear for arch rival xbox to do some catching up? playstation really was very conspicuous by its absence but i think the fact that microsoft finally came together with what it's been doing over the past four or five years, of buying different developers, i think in that case microsoft suddenly showed the results of what it's been doing and suddenly, people actually thought — some people, for the first time, ithink, thought "xbox game pass — i think i need this". seeing all those big games labelled as day one on xbox game pass is a very, very attractive proposition for gamers — especially when you're looking at, you know, £70, $70 aaa purchases for the p55. and looking at what the xbox series x has for 2022 and not really knowing what sony's doing for this christmas, let alone in 2022, is a really precarious position for them to be in. it's—a me, wario! the last major show belonged to nintendo. they'd already quashed any hopes of seeing a new, more powerful version the popular console, the switch. instead, nintendo relied on one of its biggest franchises, zelda, doing all the heavy lifting. the legend of zelda: breath of the wild 2 is still in development but a new trailer revealed that as well as adventuring on terra firma, link will also take to the skies. we got a tiny bit of gameplay, but little else. it's slated for release some time in 2022. nintendo has been raiding the back of the cupboards with switch refreshes for the likes of warioware, which challenges the player to complete a dizzying array of mini games such as peeling face masks and avoiding bird poo while beating a ticking clock. wah! rats! as well as super monkey ball: banana mania, celebrating 20 years of sphere—rolling simians. this certainly was not the e3 that we're used to but it's worth remembering that the pandemic has slowed down and disrupted lots of video game development, so it's a minor miracle that we got to see any new content at all. with any luck, we'll have an event that we can attend in person in 2022. this is the matepad pro and it's the first chance i've had to go hands—on with the new harmony0s, huawei's replacement for android that it says is a next—generation operating system. after donald trump put huawei on that us trade blacklist and blocked it from using google services, huawei said it would move to its own harmony0s which, it told reporters, would be completely different from android. now, the version of harmony0s running on this tablet looks a lot like android. the interactions are the same. the tablet also runs android apps, so i can stick the bbc news android app on here and it runs fine. the same goes for google maps. and if you run a diagnostic test app, it will report that this tablet is running android 10. now, the core of android is open source and there's nothing wrong with taking that and branching off to make your own software — that's what amazon has done with its fire 0s — and it clearly states that that is a fork of android. now, it looks like this is what huawei's done here on the tablet, branching off and adding some of its own code, although it really didn't want to say it — it gave me some very vague answers — although it did say android apps are currently compatible with some devices running harmony0s 2. this huawei watch 3 is running harmony0s, so it should work seamlessly with the tablet — although, when i tried to use the watch as a camera viewfinder for the tablet, i couldn't get it to work. what is this experience like for a uk consumer? obviously, there are no google services but huawei has been working to develop its own replacement such as petal maps, which comes pre—installed. it's powered by tomtom and has most of the features you'd expect. there's a movie store with popular films, and huawei music — a streaming app that had every hit artist i searched forfrom major labels, although there were a few anomalies. this definitely isn't steps. i tried to reverse image search to find out where this had come from. i'm guessing it's a tribute act but i could not find anything. so if this is you, please tweet me. i'd love to know more! i also found some of the artist bios show up in foreign languages. and other huawei apps aren't really optimised for the tablet display. the voice assistant celia is a little bit rough around the edges, too. i tried asking my watch "what time is it?" and it didn't know. perhaps the biggest hurdle for a uk audience is the loss of the google play store and with it a lot of popular apps. petal search lets you find and install a lot of android apps from third party sources, but what happens when android and harmony0s start to diverge? will app developers in the uk and us really make a harmony0s version of their software, on top of the android and i0s versions, when many of them didn't even adapt their apps for huawei app gallery when the whole thing was running android? the concept of harmony0s, where all of your devices communicate seamlessly, is a good one if you're willing to go all in on huawei. and i can think of being popular in china, but it might still be a hard sell in the uk and us until some of these wrinkles are ironed out. that is all for the short cut of the programme. you can keep up with us on social media. we programme. you can keep up with us on social media.—

england and wales with early morning showers but that will ease to sunny spells in the afternoon. in scotland and northern ireland, sunny spells and northern ireland, sunny spells and scattered

steps up efforts to offer all adults a jab byjuly the 19th. it comes as officials in england consider plans to drop the isolation period, for anyone who comes into contact with someone infected with the virus — but only if they've received two vaccine doses. these are among tens of thousands who turned out in socially distanced lines across england to claim their covid vaccines during a weekend of walk—in appointments. london's olympic stadium has played host to manyjubilant crowds in its short life, but few gatherings have meant so much to a country hoping to lift all lockdown restrictions by the 19th ofjuly, the same date the government plans to have offered all adults their firstjab. i'd rather have it than get covid. as soon as it opened up, everyone wanted it done as soon as possible. on friday morning, vaccination appointments opened up to 18—20 year olds and by the end of the day, more than 720,000 people had booked theirs. pop—up campaigns like these are crucial tojust get more people vaccinated. the more we do to help support our local authorities and councils and the more that we can do to make it convenient, offer choices to our public and residents, then i think that is the right way to go ahead. in the latest 24—hour period, nearly 219,000 people received a first dose. 42.6 million people or 81% of adults have now had their firstjabs. nearly 189,000 people have had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period. that means more than 31 million people or than 59% of uk adults are now fully vaccinated. meanwhile, those in england who have had both covid jabs and come into contact with someone infected with the virus could be spared having to isolate for ten days if trials that are under way prove effective. ministers will no doubt be comforted by the success of the uk's vaccination programme, but they will know too that news is mixed. yesterday, the uk recorded more than 10,000 new confirmed infections for the third day running, with the delta variant accounting for most of them. and surge testing is under way in some areas of south london and cumbria, in response to a rise in cases. eligible adults are being urged to take up their vaccine as soon as possible. while the prime minister has not ruled anything out, he says he's confident there will not need to be a further delay to the lifting of england's lockdown restrictions. sean dilley, bbc news. labour has called on thejustice secretary to resign if he cannot reverse declining prosecutions and convictions for rape within a year. earlier this week, robert
