This here in the uk, the prime Minister Boris Johnson has said that the new indian variant of coronavirus could pose a serious disruption to progress made in tackling the virus. Cases have more than doubled in a week, mostly in england. Heres our medical editor, fergus walsh. Long queues for immunisation in bolton, which now has the highest level of coronavirus in the uk. It is one of several areas where the indian variant has now got a foothold, encouraging people to get the jab. Personally, the reason for me getting the vaccine is because i live with elderly people and i dont obviously want to have them have less worries. It is thought vaccines will continue to protect against serious illness but the threat from the indian variant has led to a shift in policy. The gap between first and second doses for the over 50s is being cut from 12 to eight weeks in a bid to boost their immunity. The Prime Minister warned the final lifting of restrictions in England Onjune 21st was now in doubt. I have to level with you that this new variant could pose a serious disruption to our progress and could make it more difficult to move to step four injune. And i must stress that we will do whatever it takes to keep the public safe. The indian variant, bi. 6i7. 2, was first identified here less than a month ago, linked to travel from india before it was put on the Red List for hotel quarantine. Cases have more than doubled in a week to over 1,300, but that will inevitably be out of date because it takes time to sequence samples. It now accounts for around 10 of coronavirus cases in the uk. But were in a far better place than we were just a few months ago. Back at the peak injanuary, there were 1. 25 million people infected with coronavirus in the uk. That is one in 50 people. The latest survey from the Office For National Statistics suggests that is down to around a7,000, or one in around i,a00 people. Get used to this you are likely to see more of it. Queues for Pcr Surge Testing here in formby, merseyside one of 15 areas in england where the new indian variant has established itself and maybe displacing the kent variant, known as bii7. This is more transmissible than the b117 and we expect over time this variant to overtake and come to dominate in the uk in the way that bii7 took over and, indeed, othervariants have taken over prior to that. The scientific advisory Group Sage says the indian variant could be as much as 50 more transmissible. If it is, they warn that could lead to a substantial resurgence in hospitalisation. But for now, the number of Covid Patients continues to fall at its lowest level for eight months. The Big Question What will happen in the next few weeks . Fergus walsh, bbc news. Japan has declared a State Of Emergency in three more regions hit hard by the pandemic, casting further doubt over whether the Tokyo Olympic Games should go ahead. 70 of Japans Population is now under coronavirus restrictions. Courtney bembridge has the details. The countdown to the olympic games continues, with the Opening Ceremony less than 70 days away. But as infections continue to rise injapan, the government has declared a State Of Emergency in three more regions. Translation by implementing such measures, we will protect i Peoples Health and lives and i think it is more possible to hold a safe and secure games, and i wish to push forward with preparations. All chant no, no olympics many people injapan arent convinced. This week, there have been protests and a petition with more than 350,000 signatures calling for the games to be scrapped. Recent polling shows 37 of respondents want the games cancelled, and another 28 want them postponed. The union representing Hospital Doctors agrees. It has warned the games could become a Superspreader Event for global coronavirus variants. Translation it is a Tough Story for athletes, but someone has to say that the games need to be cancelled. We think medical workers are required to speak up. Sponsors, too, are nervous. One major olympic partner, toyota, said this week we are conflicted every day over what the best course of action is. Test events are already under way. On friday, it was skateboarding. The sport is due to make its olympic debut at tokyo. The World Athletics President says we must move forward. It is important to reflect on one statistic, and its a sobering one 70 of olympians only make it to one games. So, you know, to lightly, you know, to lightly, as some are suggesting, pull stumps on this, move it a year down the line, is effectively saying for three quarters of olympians, thats it. Thats your chance. And i think we should make every effort, if we can do it safely and securely which i believe we can i think we really should go that extra mile. Elsewhere in the world, they are getting ready. This is brazils government vaccinating its athletes, coaches, referees and accredited media. Overseas spectators have been banned, and a decision on whether the japanese public can attend is due injune. If it does go ahead, this is sure to be a very different olympics. Courtney bembridge, bbc news. China has successfully landed a rover on mars. The zhurong had been circling the planet since february, while its Carrier Craft mapped out a safe Landing Site to avoid boulders and craters. The united states. Dean cheng is a senior analyst at the Heritage FoundationThink Tank focussing on chinas Space Programme. He told me just how significant this was for china. If you are chinese scientists, you have every reason to be absolutely delighted and proud. Your nation has now successfully landed a probe on mars. Hasnt quite deployed the rover yet that will come in the next few hours or day or so probably but its a huge achievement and it makes china only the second nation to successfully land on the red planet. And the Space Programme in china, its advanced pretty quickly, hasnt it, in recent years . What is Chinas Goal in space . Chinas goal, broadly speaking, is to use space to improve all of the aspects of what they term comprehensive national power. From the chinese perspective, Space Benefit chinese diplomacy, chinese technology, its a great advertisement it reinforces the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party to its own people. Space always has military implications. And conversely, by going to mars, it demonstrates that china can contribute to what they term the global pool of human knowledge. China is the second successful country to land a rover on mars. Why is it the russians, the europeans, the japanese havent tried to do it or have they . Various people have tried. The joke is that martian Air Defence is actually pretty good. Chuckles. But realistically speaking. Dont scare me, dean chuckles. No, but in all seriousness, the reality is, it is rocket science. It is a matter of getting everything to go right. Human error has been a factor. One of the probes that failed, the beagle, people used the wrong units some people apparently used feet and some people used metres. Were not quite sure why the European Schiaparelli probe failed. Russian and soviet probes in many cases, this was in the early days of the Space Age simply werent ready for it. The russians, to their distinction, are the only other country to have landed but their probe mars 3, in 1971, only lasted about two minutes and took about 70 lines of one image. Dean chen.

Prince harry has spoken publicly again about his life as a member of the royal family, saying he wants to Break The Cycle of Pain And Suffering he experienced while growing up, to spare his own children. Speaking on a podcast, Prince Harry compared his life as a royal to being in a zoo. Buckingham Palace And Clarence house have declined to comment. Our royal correspondent, nicholas whitchell, has more. They did their best to walk in step for the duke of edinburghs funeral, but this is a family which has been shaken and hurt by recent comments by harry and his wife. And now, there are more harrys reflections from his California Home on the theme of parenting and the Pain And Suffering handed down to him. Theres no blame. Yeah. I dont think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody but certainly, when it comes to parenting, if ive experienced some form of Pain Or Suffering because of the Pain Or Suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, im going to make sure that i break that cycle so i dont pass it on, basically. Theres a lot of genetic Pain And Suffering that gets passed on anyway. We, as parents, we should be doing the most we can to try and say, you know what . That happened to me. Im going to make sure that doesnt happen to you. Were going to have a family tea party. However bewildered they may find such unburdening, Harrys Family Isnt showing it. Prince charles was in south wales. Sir, do you agree with Prince Harry, about the Suffering And Pain in the family . Nice try, but to no avail. But its the questions implicit in harrys latest musings which will trouble the family. Theyve accepted that he needed to get away from royal life for the sake of his mental health. What they didnt expect was for him to go public on such private matters. Here he is on his fathers upbringing. This is where he went to school. This is what happened. I know this bit about his life. I also know thats connected to his parents. Yeah. So, that means that hes treating me the way that he was treated. Exactly. Which means how can i change that for my own kids . And, well, here i am. Harry says he feels a little more free in his new life in california. His family may wonder how many more reflections he and his wife will feel obliged to share. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. Now, hows this for a hard Luck Story . A californian woman claims to have missed out on a 26 MillionLottery Prize after the winning ticket was destroyed in her washing machine. She says she left it in the pocket of her trousers. The bbc� s Tim Allman has the story. This is the place where, but for an overly aggressive spin cycle, a life might have been changed forever. It was at this Convenience Store in the suburbs of la that one not so lucky woman bought a ticket for the superlotto plus. Her numbers came up, a Big Prize was tantalisingly within her grasp, but there was one tiny problem with her ticket. Her clothes were washed and so, when she pulled it out it was all crumpled up, like, in little pieces, and she said she frantically tried to put them all together but she couldnt. There is apparently cctv footage of the moment she bought the ticket, but the California Lottery says any claimant needs compelling, substantial proof they were a winner. Lotto Fever Isnt exactly a rare occurrence in the us huge jackpots prompting long queues and furious excitement. Any unclaimed Prize Money will be donated to the states public school system. Plenty of sympathy for the unlucky non winning winner, but some Sage Advice too. I guess now, you know, the lesson is that taking pictures of your ticket or, you know, keeping a record of it somehow. And always check your washing. Tim allman, bbc news. How frustrating. You can reach me on twitter im bbcmaryam. Thank you so much for watching bbc news. Bye bye from us. Hello there. If youre waiting for a prolonged, dry, warm spell of weather, youll have to keep on waiting because this weekend it is going to stay cool and there will be plenty more heavy, thundery downpours. Now, on the atlantic satellite picture, you can see this big pipeline of cloud just ploughing its way from west to east. You can think of this line of cloud as something of a barrier. Its keeping the warm air away from our shores. That warm air will lift temperatures across parts of Southern Spain this weekend into the low to mid 30s. But for us, we are stuck in Cool Air and we are stuck under the influence of low pressure. This will bring showers or longer spells of rain through the weekend. A band of cloud with outbreaks of Rain Drifting North eastwards across england and wales, clipping into Northern Ireland as we head through saturday morning. Behind that, well, we revert to that mix of sunshine and showers. Some of the showers will be heavy with hail and thunder. Not too many showers across scotland, certainly across the northern half of scotland as we go through the day, although for shetland, it will stay pretty grey and damp all day long. Temperatures struggling for north eastern areas just 11 degrees. But even in the best of the sunshine, 15 or 16 that is it. And then through saturday evening, the showers will try to fade but actually, i think through the early hours of sunday morning, the showers will pep up again down towards the south west. That is the first sign of what is going to be quite a turbulent day of weather on sunday as this area of low pressure moves right on top of the uk. That means the air will be very, very unstable. So while most places will start with some dry weather and some sunshine, keep an eye on the skies you will see big thunder clouds developing. Some really intense downpours with frequent lightning, some hail, some very squally, gusty wind and some particularly strong winds down towards the channel islands. There will be some sunshine between the showers but temperatures below par, 11 to 15 degrees. And as we head in to the start of next week, low pressure will still be close by. That means we will see further showers or longer spells of rain through the week ahead. Some of those showers always with the potential to be heavy, possibly thundery. Some sunshine in between, but no sign of anything warm on the horizon. This is bbc news.
