The business of politics once again in the glare. And, george, one of the things that has cAlled made jaws drop around here was when it emerged yesterday that a senior official in 2015, one of the most senior civil servants, was able to work for the government and take on a job working for greensill capital, that now defunct bank, at the same time. Remember, officials are meant to be impartial and independent. And the fact that that happened because real fury here in whitehAll, the fact that that happened because realfury here in whitehAll, and the fact that that happened because real fury here in whitehAll, and the current head of the civil service, the top mandarin in the country, simon case, cAlled together officials this morning. He has ordered them to go and check on their own departments to see if this is happening anywhere else, and to divulge that information the week, if it is still going on. This is All a bit of a tangle. It is quite messy. There are a lot of details. But the relation between Money And Politics is often so toxic and troublesome, and that the Prime Minister thought that by ordering his own review that it would All suddenly go away, i think now people realise that he had another think coming. Laura, thank you very much. A woman who survived the Terror Attack at london fishmonger� s hAll has told the inquest how she was repeatedly stabbed.

Lets Take A Look at the latest government figures. There were 2,491 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24 Hour Period. On average 2,719 new cases were reported per day in the last week. The latest figures show there were 2,481 people in hospital being treated for coronavirus on monday. 38 deaths were reported in the latest 2a Hour Period thats people who died within 28 days of a positive covid 19 test. On average in the past week 33 deaths were announced every late three day. Days as for vaccinations 76,123 people have had their first dose of a Covid Vaccine in the latest 24 Hour Period bringing the total to over 32 point 3 million. 312,685 people have had their second dose of a Covid Vaccine in the latest 24 Hour Period. Which means that over 8. 1 million people, have had both doses of the vaccine.

The hope is that by mixing these different Vaccine Technologies and the first and second dose, that it will actuAlly boost immunity and give greater protection. 800 people have already started on the trial, back in february, that saw someone getting their first doses of either the oxo that or the pfizer vaccines. That has been expanded to include the Moderna And Novavax vaccines. If there are supply issues with one vaccine, you could easily switch to another vaccine. 1000 more volunteers are needed for the trial, the comcov trial, people can sign up online, and the first results should come next month, with more in the summer. Its a controvsersial issue and now the government is launching a consultation into whether Care Home Staff in england should be required to get a coronavirus vaccine. Its now a year since Care Homes were struggling to cope with the peak of the first wave. April 12th 2020 saw a95 deaths of Care Home residents from covid alone. A further 800 plus residents died from other causes. Those combined figures were more than three times the number who died in total from other causes on the same day in 2019. Many families and care providers argue that only a Public Inquiry will explain why residents werent better protected. Heres our social Affairs Correspondent, alison holt. This is davids way of seeing more of his wife, anthea. He volunteers as a gardener at her Care Home. Hello, sweetheart. Hello snatched moments at the window keep him going. Anthea, darling. Particularly precious, as, a year ago, anthea had covid and was fighting for her life. He was cAlled in to say goodbye. One of the nurses said that you had better get up here, quick. And so, i spent an hour or two with her. I think i spent most of the night with her. But she pulled through it with the help of the nursing home. Antheas home, All'>Wren HAll in nottinghamshire, is normAlly a vibrant place. But, last spring, life here was transformed by covid. With residents keeping to their bedrooms, staff were caring for 19 people who had the virus. They faced struggles getting health support, ppe shortages, and Nursing Associate Damien remembers concerns over official guidance. The guidance mentioned changing your ppe every time you went into someone. Within two weeks, that then changed to, you can go and help three individuals and then change your ppe. And always, in the back of your mind, you are thinking why was it different, then to what it is now . See you later. The Homes Owner says that they felt largely forgotten by the government. On March The 31st in Social Media she described the situation as dire. On april the 12th, she wrote. In All, 13 long term residents died. We were clapping for the nhs. We were hearing, you know, protect our nhs. But there was nothing about social care. I think it is probably a sad State Of Affairs that i dont feel angry. Ijust feel, that is the norm. Dad . Itsjean. It was April 12th whenjean adamson last glimpsed her father through the window of his london Care Home. He died from covid three days later. He was a Family Man who loved music, and jean is one of many cAlling for a Public Inquiry into why people like her father were not better protected. I still need to know why my father died in a place where he was supposed to be safe. The government have a legal and moral responsibility to get to the truth. So that people who have been bereaved, like myself, i can get theanswers. On the day he died, the government announced its plans for social care. Since, there has been more ppe, testing and extra Funding And Priority vaccination. It says families will get an independent inquiry at the appropriate time. Alison holt, bbc news. Lets get more on that Government Consultation about vaccines for Care Home workers. Alison is with me now. Isaid i said earlier this is quite a controversial issue. Have you heard anything from the Care Sector . Yes. Anything from the Care Sector . Yes, this is an Issue Anything from the Care Sector . Yes, this is an issue that anything from the Care Sector . Te this is an issue that divides people in the Care Sector. In a sense and my report you can see why it is such an important issue after so many deaths and family is asking so many questions about why their Loved Ones were not better protected the government will at some point have to answerfor that and government will at some point have to answer for that and take up of the vaccine by Care Staff has been sluggish. Experts say to protect Care Homes from an outbreak you need 80 of your staff vaccinated and at the momentjust over half of Care Homes for older adults, just older adults we are talking about, have above 80 of staff vaccinated. Pockets of concern in london, All 32 boroughs have Vaccination Levels below 80 , 27 local authorities where it is below 70 take up. One of the Day Care providers has said it will make vaccines mandatory for its staff. Unions theatre is bad idea, bettersick its staff. Unions theatre is bad idea, better Sick Pay would be a much better way of dealing with some of the issues about outbreaks, and one of the things care providers are saying is they feel it would be better to try to persuade staff as opposed to making it compulsory and they are asking the question if it is made compulsory for this group of staff were late also be expected for other Health And Care workers who also spent time with very vulnerable people .

My mother is 91, so she is very vulnerable to covid. I think maybe i would take her to the countryside two or three weeks, away from tokyo. It is more safe. Japans elderly are vulnerable because only a handful have been vaccinated. These pictures are from the first group getting their first covid shot, from two days ago. So farjapan has vaccinated less than 1 of its population. Japan is now in the midst of a fourth wave of Covid Infections. The head ofjapans medical Association Today said the medical system here in the Tokyo Area is in danger of collapse. Add to that the lack of vaccines and you can see why japan is so vulnerable. One epidemiologist i spoke to today said holding the olympics in this situation is irresponsible, unethical and unscientific. For the athletes, too, covid is taking a toll. A year ago, this woman looked certain to be injapans first ever olympic Surfing Team but a year without any international competition has ruined those preparations. Translation nothing is going the way athletes have planned leading up to the olympics. Competition and practice are totAlly different things. By not having any place to compete its hard for athletes to maintain a rhythm. The Torch Relay has now reached osaka, the current epicentre of Covid Infections. Instead of being welcomed by waving crowds, torchbearers were forced to run around an empty park, waving to no one. It could be a foretaste of what is to come injuly.

Today the scottish greens unveiled their Election Manifesto with plans for a Green Economic Recovery from the pandemic and a Millionaires Tax on the very rich. Our Scotland EditorSarah Smith has this report. As well as their obvious focus on environmental issues, the scottish greens are the only major political party, other than the snp, who support independence for scotland. Now is the time to be bold. How they perform in this election could determine whether there is a parliamentary majority in favour of another Independence Referendum. Whilst we are still dealing with a pandemic, theres a Climate Emergency that you are stressing. Is the distraction of an Independence Referendum in the next five years reAlly necessary . I believe that people in scotland taking their future into their own hands is necessary. Not as an alternative to dealing with Covid Recovery or the climate and nature emergencies, but as a fundamental part of dealing with those issues effectively. The scottish greens policies include. A Referendum On Scottish Independence in the next five years. New taxes on profit and wealth, including A Levy On Firms who have made big profits during the pandemic. Warmer Green Homes for All with homeowners unable to sell properties that dont meet energy efficient standards. Raising the school starting age to seven, with a Kindergarten Stage for three to six year olds. And a rapid transition to alternative energy. You say you want to end the extraction of AllOil And Gas from the north sea, when . We clearly are being honest about the fact that with far more Fossil Fuel available than we can afford to burn we need to see a substantial reduction in extraction over the next ten years, but we also need to be building up the alternative industries that will create economic activity, the opportunities for people in the Oil And Gas industries to move across, but also opportunities for our whole society. Invest in this transition now, they say, and avoid the economic damage caused by previous deindustrialisation. The greens admit some of their ambitious plans for Tax Raising and the transition to Renewable Energy cannot be achieved with the powers the Scottish Parliament currently has. They think an independent scotland could take a much more radical path. Sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. And finAlly, large sections of a cliff on dorset� sjurassic coast have collapsed.

Its nature in the raw, you know, its quite massive when you see the size of it. There are trees out in the water, its huge. Pretty amazing. Its a big lump, you could say, thats come down there. Erosion can be dramatic here because of the local geology. Weve got a stack of rocks in this cliff here with clay at the Bottom And Sandstone on top. This expert tells me the cliff became soaked with Rain Water over the winter and then dried out in spectacularfashion. What do you make of this . Well. He laughs. Its that simple. Im a geologist so this kind of thing reAlly, reAlly excites me, but my second thought is, of course, ok, what needs to be done to make people aware of the hazards that exist around this kind of thing . With that in mind, 300 metres of the clifftop have now been cordoned off. There are fears of another collapse. And fossil hunters, who always flock to this stretch of the jurassic coast, are being warned not to climb on the rubble. It will All be left for the sea to deal with, however long that takes. For now, people here are just thankful this happened at night when there was nobody on the beach. John kay, bbc news, dorset. Time for a look at the weather heres darren bett.
