make—up of the court, that the justices that did support striking or letting this law stand, justices dorsetd, justices dorset and justices cavanagh, are banking on the commitment they made to president trump, so it's pretty significant that roberts pulled away and had his own unique voice here. what about looking to the future now, where do you see this debate going? well, i mean, again, i breathe a sight of relief because abortion stands in louisiana today and yet we also know there are 16 cases that are one step away from the supreme court, related to access to abortion, so our goal is to really continue to fight to make sure both in this election people understand what's at stake and to let them know that the trump administration hasjust appointed its 200th conservative judge over the weekend, a judge who is very bent on overturning roe vs wade, so it's very clear we need to educate and educate voters on what's at stake now. thank you very much what talking is through that issue and taking time for us, alexis mcgilljohnson. thank you. in an hour's time, we will hear from an anti—abortion

let's speak to sam crowe, joint—director of public health for dorset and bournemouth, christchurch andds like an obvious question — why did you declare a major incident? i ask you that because i wa nt to incident? i ask you that because i want to understand the thought process behind that. at what point did you look at those scenes on the beach and say, enough is enough, there are too many people here? to clarify, it was a major incident stand by and it had been called by multi—agency partners notjust because of the scenes on the beach, but also, we have to remember that when we have that many additional visitors to an area like bournemouth or dorset, it puts pressure on the emergency services. we were hearing reports of pressure mounting at the front door of accident and emergency services, health services colleagues we re services, health services colleagues were starting to see very busy attendances. and the additional traffic on the roads meant that ambulances were finding it difficult to move around the town. so we declared a major incident stand by to bring all agencies together

jams over crowding and anti-social behavior were seen as beachgoers travel for hours to reach the dorset codes on the south of england the bournemouth christ church and pool council declared a major incident and said services were completely unfair stretched it prompted the chief medical officer to plea for people to respect social distancing or risk undoing previous efforts while the health secretary warned action could be taken if infections rose as a result. got to respect the rules you got to respect social distancing is still important and we do have we do have ours and if we see a spike in the number of cases then we will take action when it comes as the government's test and trace system is getting worse at contacting those who have come into contact with the virus due to fewer people being at home data shows that the number of close contacts of those testing positive reached by the system fell by over 9 percent from the previous week while as many as 30 percent of those who tested positive couldn't be contacted by the scheme well there are also concerns about social distancing af

simon from dorset has the next question which i think is a written question.s being done to establish if antibodies mean less risk of infection, or possible immunity?" i think i can probably do no better on this than to turn to professor stephen powis. thank you, secretary of state and thank you, for the question. a lot of work is being done on whether the developers of antibodies after an infection is a marker of immunity. so, afterany infection, particularly virus infections, the body will generate these antibodies that act to ensure that the virus is controlled in the first infection, but more importantly, in any subsequent exposure to the virus, ensure that either the virus does not take hold in the individual, or perhaps that the disease is a lot milder the second time round. i should say that antibodies are not the only way that the body's immune system works. there are other mechanisms for combating viruses and there is a whole host of science around cellular immunity, so how cells response, notjust cellular immunity, so how cells response, not just ant

i have holidayed everywhere from the lake district to northumbria to devon, cornwall, dorset, norfolko when it is safe to do so, so we will publish the guidance in due course. we have made a lot of progress with it, but the key thing is ensuring it is safe to do so. on toilets, i should emphasise that toilets don't full within my ministerial purview, aside from the royal parks, but i know the secretary of state for mhc lg has set clear guidance for local authorities that they should be opening those toilets, and i agree with that. any other follow—ups? earlier a couple of weeks ago this government said we should not expect to have any summer holidays abroad but now there has been reports that the government is close to securing air bridges to allow british people to go on holiday to spain or greece, due expect that site by august?m is worth remembering how this situation has arisen festival so as we have got the case of coronavirus under control and we sought further progress today on that front, we wa nt to progress today on that front, we want to ensure that we do not import cases f

the spiny hd sources, the endangered spiny seahorse has recolonised its former stronghold in dorset dueour surveys from 2008 onwards, we have never found 16 sea horses in one dive, the most we ever got before was nine so to find 16 was remarkable. how many members of the sea horse trust are there? there are so many because we have people working all over the world with us, there is a core group of six or eight who were coming all the time, they have been looking for sea horses, turning up week after week but not finding any soap for them to turn upa but not finding any soap for them to turn up a couple of weeks ago and find the 16 sea horses was remarkable. when you say grass has repaired itself, that cannot be to do with what is going on now? it's because it‘s not being consistently dug up by anglers. we never wanted to stop the boats going there but this has proven a point, if you stop anchors going in and allow the seagrass to do what it does and spread naturally, it will repair itself and there are still a few holes left but i was surprised the amount of repair the had done. the two

in dorset, two people had to be airlifted to hospital after jumping off a 70—foot cliff.the top of the door, which is around 20 to 30 metres and they were left with severe injuries, so it's a very visual reminder about the dangers of tombstoning, if you jump from anywhere at that height, if you get the take—off or landing wrong, you could easily lose your life or be left with life changing injuries. the dangers of things like cold water shock and strong currents at the bottom could lead to drowning. in that example, really urging people to think twice about tombstoning because that moment of madness could lead to a lifetime of regret just in madness could lead to a lifetime of regretjust in that split madness could lead to a lifetime of regret just in that split second. than what happened was, two helicopters had to come to help with the rescues, and everybody obviously had to be in the safe place away from helicopters. that's my understanding, two helicopters came m, understanding, two helicopters came in, a couple were airlifted out, i know our crew were involved in som

of my experience has been in white working—class communities from liverpool to council estates in dorsetasons, wasn't it? there were other reasons, wasn't it? there were other reasons given to do with your experience but it was clearly one of the ones they marked out. since you received that letter made clear to them that you were unhappy with it, what happened ? them that you were unhappy with it, what happened? i made it clear and they basically said that we are really sorry you feel that way. this remains a backhanded apology and they said they have done unconscious bias training and they champion discrimination if it is discrimination if it is discrimination against anyone based upon any characteristic. but for me that was not good enough. i think that was not good enough. i think that what they need to do is actually repent and part of the christian narrative is that we have forgiveness and we need to repent of what we do so that means how do we do something with these structural things that is going on because part of the christian narrative is also that we are made in the image of
