in wales. and that figure is lower thanit in wales. and that figure is lower than it was three weeks ago, and that has helped us in creating the conditions in which we are able to move forward. now, the other crucial factor in shaping our decisions, of course, is vaccination, and as of today, 82% of adults in wales have had both doses of the vaccine. with every day that passes, that number continues to increase as more people make the decision to protect themselves and their loved ones. 0ur themselves and their loved ones. our high vaccination rates, some of the best in the whole of the world, have helped to weaken the link between coronavirus infections, serious illness and hospitalisation. but as cases in the community rose, we have seen a small but noticeable rise in the number of people who have fallen

east, some mist and fog patches for men, and it will be a warm night. tomorrow we will start off with all that cloud, much of it will burn away, but there will be more proud in england and we have seen in the last few days, having said that, still a lot of sunshine, cool along the east coast because we will have an easterly flow, so the heat again will be in the west, but not quite as high as it s going to be today for some. then as we head into the weekend, that is when it breaks down. but for scotland and northern ireland, you will hang onto some dry and sunny conditions, but for all of us, temperatures closer to where they should become a feel fresher thanit they should become a feel fresher than it has done. carol, thank you very much, see you later. the time is 6.18. four years after six year old sunderland fan bradley lowery died from a rare form of cancer, his mum gemma has spoken about his legacy. after donations from around the world, the family are building a holiday home for
