the welsh government has also offered nhs staff in wales 80% pay rise, whereas holyrood has given those of nhs providers. that is the body which represents hospital trusts in england and hejoins us now. thanks for being with us. your reaction first of all to this 3% pay offer. it is certainly a lot better than the original 1% that was put forward by the government that actually was received fairly widespread disappointment and condemnation in terms of inside the nhs. 3% was the minimum numberthat we terms of inside the nhs. 3% was the minimum number that we suggested to the paint review body was needed to recognise the efforts of nhs staff, so we are glad that that has recognised. but we know that it's really important nhs staff who are working so hard over the last 18 month period should be properly recognised and we need to keep our staff and recognise and reward their contribution. staff and recognise and reward their contribution-— contribution. how difficult do you think this might make _ contribution. how difficult do you think this might make it - contribution. how difficult do y

sturgeon is expected to announce her plans for the easing of restrictions at a special sitting of holyroodent is also expected to say more about its thinking in the coming days. there are new covid rules for schools in england, too. on one day, more than 6ai,000 children missed school because of covid restrictions. the education secretary told mps that whole bubbles, or classes, of children will no longer be sent home to isolate after one person tests positive. we recognise that the system of bubbles and isolation is causing disruption to many children's education — that is why we'll be ending bubbles and transferring contact tracing to the nhs test and trace system for early years settings, schools and colleges. from the 16th of august, children will only need to isolate if they have tested positive for covid—i9. labour said ministers couldn't wish away the challenges of the pandemic. today's statement offers no clarity on how the government will stop infections spiralling. the conservatives' inadequate testing regime, lack of action on ventilation and recklessness at the border have put

the first minister nicola sturgeon told a virtual meeting of holyrood that the planned easing of restrictionsa variant. it's not a complete and wholesale lifting of all restrictions — it was never intended to be. however, it does restore yet more freedom to all of us. indeed, it is worth emphasising that we are no longer in lockdown — nothing like it. life is much more normal than at any time since the start of this pandemic. but the gradual approach we are taking means that sensible precautions will remain in place to limit transmission while we make even more progress on vaccination. we have to make progress back to normality. the public have done what was expected of them, now it's time for this snp government to deliver and hold up their end of the bargain. so it's welcome that scotland will move to level 0 next week with some minor modifications and that self—isolation rules for people travelling will be relaxed. labour said the scottish government should listen to the world health organization and speed up the administration of the second dose of the vaccine. many countries across the w
