the secretary of state for health should have been fired for at least 15, 20 things, including lying overnment rhetoric was that "we put a shield around care homes, blah blah". it was complete nonsense. and it didn't stop there, with messages published recently, apparently between dominic cummings and the prime minister, calling the health secretary "totally hopeless". are you hopeless, mr hancock? i don't think so. but he did get a chance to defend his record... that was a planning assumption for 820,000 deaths, and i was determined that that would not happen on my watch. ..but also point to this, a turning point in the pandemic. maggie keenan becoming the first person to be vaccinated outside of clinical trials. now the uk has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. matt hancock says the nation is on the brink of a return to normality, but that is not the case for the nhs, with a record 5 million on waiting lists in england. before the pandemic, about 1,600 people were waiting for a yearfor surgery. that number has now rocketed to 385,000. and now sajid javid, the son of

have you been talking to your secretary of state for health, poor man, he came to the privy council... the queen and boris johnson, who i council...? oh, yes. indeed. the i queen and boris johnson, who were queen and borisjohnson, who were together at the g7 summit earlier this month, have been conducting their audiences by telephone ever since the pandemic began. time for a look at the weather, here's darren bett. it felt a bit more like summer today across south—eastern parts, with lighter wins and more sunshine, but that was not the case for many other parts of the uk, stuck underneath cloud, with damp and drizzly weather. you can see the contrast. the wetter weather will be clipping the south—west of england in the next few hours and gradually, overnight, very slowly, this cloud pushes further into the midlands, towards lincolnshire, and there will be bits of rain and drizzle. i think across east anglia and the south—east it is going to be dry and clear and quite cool first thing tomorrow morning. elsewhere, a warmer night underneath the blanket of cloud. and there is some warmer,

i think that the secretary of state for health should have been fired for at least 15, 20 things. ad the prime minister's wholesome support all the way through. remember how close dominic cummings and borisjohnson were. but, having promised evidence to back up his blasts from the outside, the former adviser has now published some of the messages the pair sent. in those crucial days at the start of the emergency, the adviser apparently messaged the prime minister accusing the health secretary of failing to ramp up testing. the prime minister seems to have replied in expletive—filled terms. later, mr cummings raised concerns about ventilators. officials had admitted they'd been turning them down because of price mark—ups. borisjohnson seems to have replied, "it's hancock, "he has been hopeless." a month on, the prime minister, apparently in a message to dominic cummings wrote, "on ppe, it's been a disaster," and seemed to suggest taking hancock off and putting gove on. dominic cummings seems to have replied, this would have the severe risk of making it worse, not better. reporter: di
