tonight at ten, downing street tries to clear up the confusion about the use of the nhs covid app in england. one minister says it's up to people to make an "informed decision" if they're pinged, but downing street says people need to isolate. business owners are complaining that the app is affecting far too many of their staff, and it's making them nervous. trepidation and panicking each week that those people who you've rotaed on are actually going to be able to come. we'll be talking to business owners and workers in greater manchester about the effects of the nhs covid app. also tonight... one of several small vessels carrying migrants across the english channel today following a record number yesterday. dominic cummings tells the bbc there was talk of replacing borisjohnson as prime minister, days after his election victory. and a day trip to space for the world's richest man, in the first flight of its kind forjeff bezos and friends. and coming up in the sport on the bbc news channel: adil rashid picked up four wickets, but did england beat pakistan to wrap up the t20 series? g

downing street on friday.y ahead of most covid restrictions being lifted in england. 0ur political correspondent, nick eardly has this report. downing street on friday. the health secretary outside number 10, where he held talks with the prime minister. last night, though, sajid javid confirmed he had coronavirus, after a second test. i was feeling a bit groggy last night, so i took a lateralflow test this morning and it's come out positive. so i'm now self—isolating at home with my family until i get the result of a pcr test. i'm grateful that i've had two jabs of the vaccine, and so far my symptoms are very mild. he'll now have to self—isolate and there are questions over whether others might be told to stay at home, too. it comes ahead of a crucial week in which almost all legal restrictions in england will be lifted. from tomorrow, social distancing will be officially scrapped. there will be no limits at events and legally you won't have to wear a face covering. although in some places, they will still be

of course downing street will dismiss that.ional lockdowns, borisjohnson took have been three national lockdowns, boris johnson took the have been three national lockdowns, borisjohnson took the decision is to do that, and at all times he has followed the best scientific advice that has been available to him. but i think at this moment in particular when cases are rising in the way that they are, when there has also been a slightly chaotic air about what some of the government has been doing, i think in particular these whatsapps that have been shared with us have posed a very difficult questions for downing street tomorrow. and dominic cummings has given us a very wide ranging interview, and he has got plenty more to say. interview, and he has got plenty more to say-— interview, and he has got plenty more to say. laura kuenssberg in westminster. _ more to say. laura kuenssberg in westminster, thank _ more to say. laura kuenssberg in westminster, thank you. - dominic cummings: the interview will be broadcast tomorrow night on b

downing street had initially said that he and the chancellor would go on working, as part of a dailyting pilot scheme — prompting condemnation from labour. hundreds of thousands of people are having to self—isolate because of the prime minister's reckless decisions. he expects them to follow the rules. as soon as the rules apply to him, what does he do? he tries to wriggle out. we did look briefly at the idea of cars taking part in the pilot scheme which allows people to test daily, but i think it is far more important that everybody sticks to the same rules. we'll be asking what the government's handling of this might do to public confidence, as england prepares to drop most legal covid restrictions in a matter of hours. also on the programme... more rain and flooding hits western europe. germany's chancellor angela merkel calls the devastation �*surreal�*. feelings run high in tokyo, with protests against the olympic games — as athletes and staff test positive for covid. hamilton is going to try again! and lewis hamilton wins the british grand prix, after putting rival max verstapp

well, after the times story and the minister's interviews, next, a downing street spokesperson decidedadvice. we were told... and while everyone digested all of this advice, the self—isolation policy has come under renewed pressure — even from within boris johnson's conservative party. come august the 16th, those who have had two vaccines will be ok to not isolate but to do testing. my question is, why not now? the government though says the rules will stay for now, and argues that the planned shift in several weeks will be tied to the vaccine roll out. by by that stage, everyone would've had the chance without the chance to be vaccinated. there's another detail on this — the government has confirmed it is possible to apply for exemptions from self—isolation, and that each will be "considered on a case by case basis". that's now being criticsed by those feeling staffing pressures. the cold chain federation argues... and goes on... the government doesn't deny that staffing pressures exist, but argues self—isolation remains a necessary measure. for that to be effective, though, people ne

downing street says the contact tracing app remains "one of the best tools we have" to tackle coronavirusere's sarah campbell. the pressure on business is unrelenting. in the last week we had our head of production, he got pinged, then the guy below him, the manufacturing manager, he got pinged. then the distribution manager got pinged and then the guy who is managing our new tap yard which was due to open on friday, he also got pinged. this brewery should have been welcoming 100 business customers to the opening of a new on—site bar this evening, but with nine members of staff self isolating the event is off and the new bar will remain closed. you start thinking, the numbers are going down, we've got a deadline, we're going to be out of it, it's all going to be fine, but now you're just thrust straight back into it, into the fear of the pinging and the fear of getting coronavirus, having people on—site, all of those things just make our entire industry very, very nervous, although they are all desperate to open because it has been such a financially crippling period. across town, one of

look, this is an issue that extends far beyond downing street in england.look at the latest numbers out of the uk, today recording 48,000 new cases of covid-19 with 25 deaths. despite that, the government says it's full steam ahead. in fact, they say they think they will hit 100,000 daily cases or more in the coming weeks, but the johnson government remains defiant. it's our price worth paying for freedom. the only issue is it's not just their problem as a group of more than 100 scientists wrote in the medical journal "lancet" saying allowing the virus to spread and mutate is a danger to the entirety of the world. joining me is the director of the clinical operational research unit at university college london. thanks so much for coming on the show tonight. i want to start by asking you a very simple question. should england be lifting all its covid restrictions all at once as it is right now? >> no, i mean, absolutely not. it goes against every public health principle to relax controls just as, you know, you're nearing the peak of another wave. it's just c

ah, it's like you're watching down a street in a town. and in the store, windows are negative. in depression, you tend to go into the store and buy those thoughts and take them home as if they're yours. in mindfulness, you walk down the street, you still see the sort storefront with the negative thoughts, but you don't go in and buy those, gosh. i the me the hello and welcome to cross where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle, president joe biden invoke civil war parallels with greater frequency. this is ominous and dangerous. unfortunately, it would seem, this is how the major political parties and the media view, the state of our politics in a war. there are casualties and defeats in the culture. wars can one side vanquish the other. the cross walking the culture wars, i'm joined by my guess, lionel in new york. he's illegal in media analyst in auburn. we have jeff dice. he is a president means as institute and in las vegas, we cross the craig, our de la. he is the co host and co creator of the independent media show the convo couch or a gentleman, cross cycles and e

downing street had to do a rapid u turn after initially saying borisjohnson and the uk chancellor rishi be part of a pilot scheme allowing them to keep working if they tested negative every day. but with hundreds of thousands of people having to self—isolate after a positive contact, they were met with a barrage of criticism, and mrjohnson conceded it was �*important that everybody sticks to the same rules." it comes as almost all legal covid restrictions are due to be lifted in england on monday. here�*s our political correspondent nick eardley. life might be feeling a bit more normal, but the impact of the pandemic is far from over. hundreds of thousands of people have been told to self—isolate in recent days. and now track and trace has hit the heart of government. the prime minister and chancellor are self—isolating after the health secretary tested positive for covid yesterday. boris johnson posted this video on twitter. we did look briefly at the idea of us taking part in the pilot scheme which allows people to test daily, but i think it�*s far more important that everybody sticks
