Been held across the uk and around the world to mark the centenary of the royal british legion. Leicester city lift the Fa Cup for the first time as Youri Tielemans stunning long Range Goal earned the Foxes Victory over chelsea at wembley. The doctors union, the british medical association, has voiced concern that the easing of coronavirus restrictions in england is going ahead on monday, while the indian variant is spreading rapidly, and many people are still waiting for a vaccine. Ministers insist theyre acting coolly and calmly, and theres no evidence that the new variety poses a greater risk to health. The new variant. However, their scientific advisers have warned that the indian variant is more contagious than previous types and, after mondays unlocking, could trigger the biggest wave of infections so far. Our Health Correspondent Katherine Da Costa reports. Out on the streets of bolton in greater manchester, this rapid Response Team is going door to door, handing out Test Kits as authorities here and in other Hotspots Race to contain the more contagious indian variant. Were asking people to please take a test if you dont have any symptoms so we can identify people who may be positive and then support them through the isolation period. Excuse me, keep walking. There are surge vaccinations, too. At this site in bolton, they have ramped up to 4,000 shots per day. While vaccines are expected to protect against serious illness from this variant, its thought they may not completely stop transmission so the advice now is to shorten the gap between doses to eight weeks for the most vulnerable, to boost short term immunity. There is a bit of a Trade Off here because we know 12 weeks is better in terms of long Term Protection but we think there is enough of a crisis with this particular virus in the country at the moment to make sure that we get those individuals that have only had their first dose fully protected as quickly as possible. This 5k run at Kempton Park in surrey is a Test Event to see whether mass outdoor events without social distancing could be brought back safely again. Some Health Experts are concerned allowing indoor mixing from monday and a more transmissible variant risks the variant taking off again, but ministers say its too soon to say what it will mean for ending lockdown measures next month. We dont know how much more transmissible it is yet. So, if its a low increase in transmissibility, that wouldnt fundamentally, necessarily, change things. If its a high level then we would have to look carefully at what happens on the 21st ofjune. Around 1,000 covid patients are being treated in hospitals across the uk, the lowest level since mid september, but about a third of adults are still unvaccinated. Its now an anxious wait to see whether new infections translate to a rise in Hospital Admissions in the weeks to come. Katharine da costa, bbc news. Markjit, professor of Vaccine Epidemiology at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine, says theres not enough data yet to determine how much of a risk the variant poses. We spoke to him earlier. Well, its very difficult to say right now because we dont have as much information as we would like, but the signs were seeing are slightly worrying. I mean, weve seen this variant increase very rapidly and weve seen a Big Wave of cases in india. Weve seen the variant has come to the uk, and in some parts of the uk, its now well over 50 of all cases reported. So, it seems to be growing faster than the existing variants we have in the uk, although these are still early days, so its difficult to say for sure. Weve also seen some countries in Southeast Asia for instance, which seemed to have very good control of covid, now seeing outbreaks caused by this variant, so there do seem to be some rather alarming signs. How transmissible do you think it is . I mean, iappreciate we dont actually know, but there are suggestions it could be 50 , 60 even, more transmissible. Well, those are the estimates that people have made based on very preliminary data, but its really too early to tell because a lot of the initial cases were due to people coming from abroad. So, its only now that were seeing cases actually due to transmission from these people, so now, as we get more data, we should be able to have more certainty about whether that figure is correct. That was professor markjit. Later in this half hour, well be answering your questions on the indian Covid Variant and the risks to easing restrictions. I will bejoined by Professor Sian Griffiths from the chinese university of Hong Kong and Professor Paul Hunter from the university of east anglia. Thats at 8. 15. Hope you join us for that. The latest figures show a further 2,027 cases have been confirmed in the latest 24 hour period, meaning an average of 2,252 new cases reported per day in the last week. Seven deaths were reported in the latest 24 hour period, and the seven Day Average now sits at ten deaths. Meanwhile, latest government data show continued decrease in the number of people at hospital. The most recent data says 991 people are in hospital receiving treatment for covid 19. The White House says it has told israel to ensure the Safety And Security ofjournalists after israeli warplanes destroyed a Tower Block in gaza city. 0ccupants of the building, which housed the Associated Press and aljazeera, were given an hour to leave. Israel claims the block was used by hamass military intelligence. It follows Rocket Attacks by hamas militants, which killed one man in Tel Aviv. An israeli strike overnight on a Refugee Camp killed at least 11; people, ten of them from one extended family. 0ur middle East Correspondent Yolande Knell reports from the west bank. Within seconds, another Tower Block erased from gazas skyline. Journalists for international networks who worked inside rushed out after a warning from israel that it was about to strike. It says Hamas Intelligence used the building. Earlier, a barrage of rockets hit Tel Aviv for the first time in two days, with deadly results. Emergency services unable to save a man here. In gaza, there has been almost no time to mourn as the numbers killed mount up. Mohammed lost almost everyone in his family. His wife and their children were staying with her brother when the missiles struck their home in an overcrowded Refugee Camp. Little 0mar is all he has left, found in the rubble next to his mother. With militants continuing to be targeted, images released by israels military show an operation that is not letting up. Officials say dealing a strong blow to deter hamas will take more time. And hamas is not stopping its fire either. Its rockets, as always, are indiscriminate, continuing to pour down on the israeli towns closest to gaza. Tensions here remain high in israels mixed cities wherejews and arabs live Side By side. There were more disturbances overnight. Today, this was jaffa, the streets deserted. And now the focus turns to the palestinian territories. This is a solemn day when palestinians remember the dispossession of hundreds of thousands of people when israel was created in 19118. They call it al nakba, the catastrophe. And this year, the violence elsewhere adds extra fuel to the protests. Lets discuss this further. 0ver now to washington and our correspondent will grant, we understand there have been diplomatic at their roots of Taking Plates with President Biden diplomatic efforts in. I plates with President Biden diplomatic efforts in. Plates with President Biden diplomatic efforts in. I think as the escalation diplomatic efforts in. I think as the escalation of diplomatic efforts in. I think as the escalation of the diplomatic efforts in. I think as the escalation of the violence i diplomatic efforts in. I think as i the escalation of the violence has been taking place, there is a sort of escalation of the diplomacy here in washington too. President biden has spoken to the palestinian president. If the first time the two men have spoken since President Biden took office injanuary. I think a sign of the severity in the crisis. They share Desire Thatjerusalem be, as they put it, a place of peaceful coexistence for people of all faiths. But i think what was interesting is that President Biden updated the palestinian president ahead of a meeting on the Security Council on sunday. He stressed as one might expect the need for hamas to cease Firing Rockets into israel. Of course, he also spoke to the of course, he also spoke to the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, too. Thats not the first time the two men have spoken. Sort of increased diplomacy in washington amid this of increased diplomacy in washington amid thi.

I think its been interesting, and he pointed L Washington . I think its been i interesting, and he pointed this out, he reinstated the humanitarian aid to the palestinian authority, to the region. Of course, on picking president trumps legacy in the area. Of course there will be democrats who want the situation to move further, for there to be greater condemnation of what happened in terms of the Air Strike on the building that housed Al Jazeera and the Associated Press. He did make comment of that in a sense in the discussions where he said the Safety And Security of journalists, he raced concerned the need to ensure their protection. I think its an area thats always going to divide the democrats. There are those who would like the president and the White House to go further, but of course there are historic and important links between israel and the White House, and its going to be very difficult Forjoe Biden to pick apart through this crisis. He has expressed expectation for the fighting to end soon, but currently, there is very little sign of that. Will, i wonder if you could go back to the fact there is significant that there has been this conversation with the palestinian president , but many commentators have made the point that the silence is deafening in terms of Commentary Or Reaction from the pla. How does that play in with hamas . Because there is confusing as to why people are waiting for the president to speak.

Im not sure whether or not at this stage thatis sure whether or not at this stage that is something he will be doing. 0bviously, that is something he will be doing. Obviously, there is this un Security Council to take place on sunday. Well see how this changes the perspective, but i think at the moment, these are still quite early daysin moment, these are still quite early days injoe biden� s administration. I think the strategy still needs to be figuring out as this is happening. They really have to essentially work with what theyve got. We will wait and see how the Security Council meeting changes that. ~. ,. , ~ Security Council meeting changes that. ~. , ~ , that. Will grant, thank you very much indeed. And well find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 30 and 11 30 this evening in the papers. 0ur Guestsjoining Me Tonight are geraldine scott, Westminster Correspondent at the yorkshire post, and tim montgomerie, conservative commentator. I hope you will be with us as well. In central london, earlier today, thousands marched in solidarity with the palestinian people. A large crowd moved through Hyde Park to the Israeli Embassy. Similar rallies have been held in other cities in the uk and elsewhere in the world. 0ur Correspondentjames Waterhouse was watching. So, this is the final destination for the protest, if you like, kensington high street. Because of the ways the roads are designed, the Israeli Embassy for the exits further down to the left there down a private road, with Police Guard as you would expect with different kind of embassies, but that has not stopped people here wanting to be seen and heard. You speak to people here, they dont see it as a conflict, they call it out and out oppression in terms of what is going on in the Gaza Strip and other palestinian territories. The Core Message is for the israelis to stop the Air Strikes that are currently taking place and for the Uk Government to intervene. Now, as people are taking to the streets, they first appeared on Hyde Park corner, which is about a mile and a half or so away. They came through and they were singing. Its been passionate, but it has also been peaceful. There are a minority of people who Climate Scaffolding here. The police have taken hands off approach and successfully talked many of them down. But as all of this activity is happening, us negotiators are in the Middle East calling on both sides to step down. A feeling here is that wont do anything anytime soon. That was james waterhouse. And now, lets return to the concerns surrounding the indian variant of covid 19. Its time for your questions answered. Youve been sending in lots of questions about the indian variant and how it could impact the uks Road Map. Here to answer them is Public Health expert, Professor Sian Griffiths and the university of east anglias Professor Paul Hunter. Lovely to see you. Good evening to both of you professors. Let us begin. A question to both of you. If i could ask you, professor griffiths, to start off. How does a coven infected person get confirmed as having the indian variant and not the wuhan strain covid. This comes from paul monro. Paul, this is about Genomic Sequencing. You will have heard a lot of talk about variants in the way we decide what a variance is is by looking at the sequence, its genetic make what. We have variants of concerned and the indian variant is an adaptation from the wuhan virus, which started in china back in 2020. ,. , in 2020. Professor hunter was blue i think the thing in 2020. Professor hunter was blue i think the thing to in 2020. Professor hunter was blue i think the thing to say in 2020. Professor hunter was blue i think the thing to say is in 2020.

We are everyone has their sample sequence. We are only everyone has their sample sequence. We are only sequencing about 40 to 50 each we are only sequencing about 40 to 50 each week of samples, so many people 50 each week of samples, so many pe0pie with 50 each week of samples, so many people with the, any of the indian variants people with the, any of the indian Variants Wont have any of their strange Variants Wont have any of their strange Sequence And Wont know whether strange Sequence And Wont know whether or strange Sequence And Wont know whether or not theyve had that. What whether or not theyve had that. What were doing is because were taking what were doing is because were taking a what were doing is because were taking a sample, we can get a good idea of taking a sample, we can get a good idea of whats happening over all, but its idea of whats happening over all, but its difficult to pinpoint individuals if theyve not had their sample individuals if theyve not had their Sample Sink which.

It has been established l from roy. It has been established whether the current vaccines give protection against the indian variant . If so, what sort of efficiency do they have against it compared with other strains . Professor griffiths, your thoughts on that . I professor griffiths, your thoughts on that . ~ ,. , professor griffiths, your thoughts onthat . ~ ,. , on that . I think this is really one for professor on that .

I think this is really one | for professor hunter. Im going to pass it to him. For professor hunter. Im going to pass it to him for professor hunter. Im going to pass it to him. fiiq yeah, we dont pass it to him. 0k. Yeah, we dont know. There pass it to him. 0k. Yeah, we dont know. There are actually three indian know. There are actually three indian variants. The first one that was discovered in the Uk Dates back to about was discovered in the Uk Dates back to about late february. We do know that that to about late february. We do know that that one was more resistant to vaccine that that one was more resistant to vaccine than the Tents Variant Kent Vaccine than the Tents Variant kent It Vaccine than the Tents Variant kent it was vaccine than the Tents Variant kent. It was controlled by vaccine, but not kent. It was controlled by vaccine, but not as kent. It was controlled by vaccine, but not as well. Its not a yes or no thing. But not as well. Its not a yes or no thing. Its but not as well. Its not a yes or no thing, its often a gradual thino no thing, its often a gradual thing. With the indian variant two, one thats thing. With the indian variant two, one thats actually increasing quite rapidly, one thats actually increasing quite rapidly, that lost one of its Escape Mutations rapidly, that lost one of its Escape Mutations. So, although the data isnt out mutations. So, although the data isnt out there yet, we would expect it to he isnt out there yet, we would expect it to be somewhat more affected by vaccine it to be somewhat more affected by vaccine than indian one. I think initiat vaccine than indian one. I think initial suggestions, although not yet initial suggestions, although not vet in initial suggestions, although not yet in any initial suggestions, although not yet in any scientific paper can sopport yet in any scientific paper can support that suggestion. So a little bit more support that suggestion. So a little bit more resistant than the Tents Variant, bit more resistant than the Tents Variant, but not as resistant as the south variant, but not as resistant as the South African variant. South african variant. Professor griffiths. We South African variant. Professor griffiths. We have South African variant. Professor griffiths. We have a South African variant. Professor griffiths. We have a question i South African variant. Professor i griffiths. We have a question here from calve masters. How did this indian variant to get into the uk . It was obviously imported from india but we have to remember the variant is now in many countries so we cant. That its obviously more logical to think cases come from india, but we know this screen is in australia. Its in the us, its in the europe in europe. This is a widely distributed train and very transmissible. Widely distributed train and very transmissible. , ,. , transmissible. Professor hunter, we have a question transmissible. Professor hunter, we have a question from transmissible. Professor hunter, we have a question from birmingham. | have a question from birmingham. Paul says is this virus more transmissible, because of its interaction with our immune systems, or is it longer lasting on surfaces . Probably neither of those. We dont know probably neither of those. We dont know for probably neither of those. We dont know for certain, but the early evidence know for certain, but the early evidence is that its probably more infectious evidence is that its probably more infectious because it gets into peoples infectious because it gets into peoples cells more easily. 0ne infectious because it gets into peoples cells more easily. One of the mutations that isnt discussed very often the mutations that isnt discussed very often is p 681 r, and not set a point very often is p 681 r, and not set a point in very often is p 681 r, and not set a point inthe very often is p 681 r, and not set a point in the protein that you need to break point in the protein that you need to break those proteins apart to help the to break those proteins apart to help the virus get into the cells. The suggestion is that that actually helps the suggestion is that that actually helps that, and that means if its easier helps that, and that means if its easier for helps that, and that means if its easier for a helps that, and that means if its easier for a virus to get into cells, easier for a virus to get into cells, its easier for a virus to get into cells, its probably more infectious. In a way, that was probably infectious. In a way, that was probably how the Contract Variant became probably how the Contract Variant became more infection as well, andm became more infection as well, andm so became more infection as well, and. So you dont have to have quite and. So you dont have to have quite as and. So you dont have to have quite as much virus in the body for it to take quite as much virus in the body for it to take hold.

I think infectious than the Kent Variant. I think the infectious than the Kent Variant. I think the evidence is clear because all we think the evidence is clear because all we have think the evidence is clear because all we have to do is look at the fact that all we have to do is look at the fact that the Kent Variant at the Moment Fact that the Kent Variant at the moment is in steep decline in the uk, whereas the india two variant sees uk, whereas the india two variant sees a uk, whereas the india two variant sees a steep increase. The only inflammation is either that its so much inflammation is either that its so much more inflammation is either that its so much more persistent to immunity or its more much more persistent to immunity or its more infectious, and weve already its more infectious, and weve already said it probably isnt that much already said it probably isnt that much more resistant to immunity than the contract much more resistant to immunity than the Contract Variant. So, it has to hem the Contract Variant. So, it has to hem the the Contract Variant. So, it has to be. The issue is how much more infectious, be. The issue is how much more infectious, as be.

If its only could be a real problem for us. If its only moderately infectious, it may well its only moderately infectious, it may well be something that we can still manage within the existing road still manage within the existing Road Map out of lockdown. Professor griffiths, david Road Map out of lockdown. Professor griffiths, david says Road Map out of lockdown. Professor griffiths, david says what Road Map out of lockdown. Professor griffiths, david says what happened, j griffiths, david says what happened, or whats happened to the brazilian variant and the South African one . Well, theyre still around. They just havent taken off in the numbers in the way that the indian variant has, and this may be partly due to vaccination. 0bviously, variant has, and this may be partly due to vaccination. Obviously, the reason we know about the different variants is that numbers of tests will get sent off to have their Genomic Sequencing done, but its only some of the positive tests that get sent off. But today, we havent seen those particular variants spreading. It could also be to do with the Surge Testing that took place when there was a cluster of South African variants, and the community in which the cluster was found that was Surge Testing, and Health Measures were taken in addition. {lin Health Measures were taken in addition. ,. , ,. Addition. On the subect of public Health Measures, addition. On the subject of public Health Measures, professor addition. On the subject of public I Health measures, professor hunter, all live from reigate says why is the government not locking us down . It is a very difficult choice. It is certainly it is a very difficult choice. It is certainly plausible that in three or four weeks, we look back and think why didnt four weeks, we look back and think why didnt we lockdown longer. Ultimately, it has to be a political decision ultimately, it has to be a political decision rather than a public Health Decision Decision rather than a public Health Decision i decision rather than a public Health Decision. I think the evidence at the moment is that it isnt really spreading the moment is that it isnt really spreading in older Age Groups that have had spreading in older Age Groups that have had most of the Vaccine Rollout, have had most of the Vaccine Roll out, so. It very much looks as though roll out, so. It very much looks as though this will not cause as severe as though this will not cause as severe disease and vaccinated people as in unvaccinated people, so ultimately, we may welljust be able to ride ultimately, we may welljust be able to ride this ultimately, we may welljust be able to ride this out over the next few weeks to ride this out over the next few weeks but to ride this out over the next few weeks. But its a very difficult catt~ weeks. But its a very difficult catt~ in weeks. But its a very difficult call. In four weeks time, we weeks. But its a very difficult call. In fourweeks time, we might look back call. In fourweeks time, we might took back on call. In fourweeks time, we might look back on this and think we made the right look back on this and think we made the right decision, alternatively, we may the right decision, alternatively, we may wish we got to lockdown. This is discussing we may wish we got to lockdown. Try 3 is discussing the way its spreading in china, the original one. If the original covid 19 virus which started spreading in China Isnt called the china virus, why would we called the china virus, why would we call variants by their locations . Why is that use . Call variants by their locations . Why is that use . Thats the sort of colloquialism why is that use . Thats the sort of colloquialism that why is that use . Thats the sort of colloquialism that is why is that use . Thats the sort of colloquialism that is used why is that use . Thats the sort of colloquialism that is used as why is that use . Thats the sort of colloquialism that is used as a colloquialism that is used as a shorthand often for discussion such as this because in a scientific community, you would actually call the indian variant by a sequence of numbers. That gets confusing. I think i said it wrong anyway. So, its actually about trying to say this is where we think the origin of this is where we think the origin of this one was, but in fact, ever since it was called spanish flu, theres been a move against trying to locate viruses by a place because the place become tainted. However, its used as a colloquialism and scientists will be using that. If i could just say that i really think that one of the things we need to do for the indian variant is to ensure vaccination amongst all those who are eligible for it, and thats really important, particularly in parts of the country where we know weve got clusters. I think pushing vaccination will allow protection to the population. I vaccination will allow protection to the Population Vaccination will allow protection to the population.

Our vaccines being stepped up in areas most affected which we understand alongside young people having the astrazeneca, is this going to delay the under 30s being vaccinated .

Because the vaccine doesnt work for about because the vaccine doesnt work for about two because the vaccine doesnt work for about two to three weeks anyway. 0r about two to three weeks anyway.

Inafew in a few minutes, we have a special programme in racism in football and what can be done about it. On a more positive note, lets discuss the celebration in wembley. Leicester city have won their first ever Fa Cup, beating chelsea one nil in the final. The match was played at wembley in front of 21,000 fans, following the relaxation of restrictions on fpectators attending sports events. 0ur Sports Correspondent Natalie pirks was there to watch it. Its another momentous day in the history of this football club. Four finals in the past, theyve lost. They havent been in an Fa Cup final for 52 years. What a way to win it. How fitting that it was in front of fans. This goal will go down in leicester folklore. Humans fans. This goal will go down in leicesterfolklore. Humans bursting leicester folklore. Humans bursting through leicesterfolklore. Humans bursting through chelseas defence, and the strike, what an absolute Wonder Strike, what an absolute Wonder Strike it was. Sending fans into absolute eruptions ofjoy. Its not to say chelsea didnt have their chances. There was absolute drama with just minutes ago, when former Leicester Player Ben chill well burst down leicesters right and was deflected into the goal. Chelsea fans went crazy. Then drama, rolling it off, pulling it out of sight. At the final whistle, just tears from players, fans and leicesters
