investigations focus more on attackers in future. i feel really sad that it s taken this for them to listen. an apology is worth nothing to me unless they re actually going to change. from today, anyone who s 18 or over in england can book a coronavirus vaccine, in what s being described as the final push to protect the country. good morning. we re live in coventry today in the latest leg of our trip across britain. we ll talk to people who live here about what the last year has been like, how they reflect on the future. and about the england scotland game. a leadership crisis in northern ireland, as edwin poots, the democratic unionist party leader, resigns afterjust 21 days in thejob. singing when you hear that noise of
unionism in a confident spirit, recognising potential wins. it didn t work out like that because he hadn t spotted the own goal he had scored in doing that deal with sinn fein because his own party members were furious that he had, in effect, given power over to the uk government to enact those laws if there was no progress here. they said that undermined the party leadership, it undermined devolution and that s why confidence in edwin poots s leadership evaporated after just three weeks in the job. so late last night he announced that he will resign as party leader and there will have to be a new election process for the second time in just over a month. so a really difficult time for the dup, the biggest unionist party here which is in disarray now, deeply divided, and has to find a new leader. sojeffrey donaldson is one early contender as a seniorfigure who donaldson is one early contender as a senior figure who could try to unite the party now. what it means for paul givan who is i
he is at wembley for us and it is empty at the moment, mike? chuckles it is that we just heard the scottish fans, the tartan army and the saying goes there is no party without scotland and i am sure that will be the case tonight. 2600 scotland fans inside wembley for the big match tonight, part of 22,500 allowed in for this huge game, the oldest footballing international rivalry in the world. been going since 1872 when they played their first match and this is the first time at a tournament that they will meet since euro 96. a crucial game for both sides in terms of their chances of getting into the knockout phase of euro 2020, especially for scotland. a defeat would leave them in a difficult position for some let s have a look inside both camps. we can see the england team arriving at their hotel in central london
england to come forward. 18 year olds in wales and nothern ireland can already book, and those in scotland will be offered an appointment from next week. i m optimistic because i can see that the vaccine works and because the vaccine roll out has been so effective over the last six months that we have that protection and we are able to over time and carefully and cautiously remove the restrictions we have had and replace them with the protection you get from the vaccine. so itjust underlines the point for every single adult in this country, if you are 18 or over, you haven t yet had the jab, come forward and get it booked. the democratic unionist party is looking for a new leader, after edwin poots stepped down afterjust three weeks in charge. he had faced an internal revolt after agreeing a deal with sinn fein and the westminster government to ensure paul givan became first minister. mr poots will remain in the post until a successor is elected. danjohnson is at stormont.
back up. the interesting example here that they want to follow is the ribble valley by election of march 1991. the party was then down on its uppers, only around 10% in the polls, conservatives well ahead. there was a certain row about a certain council tax and in that by election the liberal democrats managed to win against people s expectations, and off the back of that the party began to advance in the national opinion polls and then put in a good performance in the 1992 general election. the challenge facing sir ed davey is can he follow up facing sir ed davey is can he follow up this victory which, yes in part, very much the function of local circumstances, into a broader national message that begins to recover the party s position, a position that at the moment is frankly very weak indeed. qm. position that at the moment is frankly very weak indeed. 0k, sir john frankly very weak indeed. 0k, sir john curtice, frankly very weak indeed. 0k, sir john curtice, thank frankly very
