Thousands of military personal have been deployed to clean up waves of Micro Plastic Pollution that have been washing ashore since the Chemical Transport Vessel caught fire last week. Joe robinson has more. With each wave, the task ahead becomes tougher. Millions of Microplastic Pellets have already washed ashore. To be cleaned up by the army, Navy And Air force scrambled onto the beach. This is an ecological disaster site. One team managed almost clear their section of Negombo Beach Beach on friday night.

For indian ships have joined the Sri Lankan navy in their efforts to fight the blaze and mitigate the destruction. The navy does now believe the fire is under control, but the extent of the damage to the environment is still being assessed. The vessel was carrying hundreds of containers of industrial chemicals, threatening key parts of the areas ecosystem. Fishing has already been banned along at 80 Km Stretch of coast while the clean up operation is under way. But the threat to local jobs could be far longer lasting. The plastic pellets pose a particular threat to Sea Life in an area known for its crab and jumbo prawn stocks. Now, the livelihood of thousands of fishermen is under threat of being eroded. Joe robinson, bbc news. Vietnams Health Minister has said the country is fighting a new Hybrid Covid Variant that is a combination of those first identified in india and britain. After successfully containing the virus for most of last year, vietnam is now grappling with a spike in infections since late april that accounts for more than half of the total of almost 7,000 cases. So far, there have been 47 deaths. I spoke to Dr Ali Mokdad who is a professor of Health Metrics Sciences at the Institute For Health Metrics And Evaluation at the university of washington. He is also the chief Strategy Officer for Population Health at the university. He told me more about the variant and the problems that are surfacing in vietnam. So, they have a new variant circulating, and that you variant is an escaped variant so previous infections do not provide immunity and in vietnam the Vaccine Roll Out has been very slow so many people are susceptible and that is why you are susceptible and that is why you are seeing such as rising cases right now. And you say this is a new variant that is a combination of the Uk And India viruses . Yet. Variant that is a combination of the Uk And India viruses . Uk and india viruses .

How much less protection is there from the vaccine with these new variants . Because obviously people will be worried that this variant could spread and that will be very, very difficult. Exactly. So, from what we know about the chinese vaccine it is about 60 effective against the old variant so it might be a little bit less when it comes to the new variant.

I think there is only one big Spot Story at the Moment And Server is probably following it in a screen somewhere absolutely right, all eyes will be on the Champions League final in porto in portugal between Manchester City and chelsea. It isnt in the second half, 56 minutes gone, and it is chelsea who lead 1 0 at the moment thanks to the most expensive player. Hes got his first Champions League goaljust before half time. Played on with a superb pass to open up played on with a superb pass to open up the City Defence and so that put chelsea ahead. And this is how chelsea ahead. And this is how chelsea fans in london reacted to that goal, wild celebrations from there then. A rather different reaction for Manchester City supporters, as you can imagine. Richard is with some of those City Fans who are watching the game at the ft had campus and he sent us this report a short time ago. Certainly a lot of nervous faces. Keeping his composure to keep the goalkeeper, edison, but these City Fans have been for a whole gamut of emotions, really. They were off the seats when they felt they were going to get that lead but a Superb Block stopped at Manchester City attack. Chelsea were the better side, No Doubt about it, and a couple of other very good opportunities, the german striker in particular, and i think these Manchester City fans will now be wondering is Pep Guardiola going to change things tactically, Orwill Guardiola going to change things tactically, or will he go to the Clubs Record Goal scorer in his last ever game . What a story that would be for the City Fans if he could find just one more goal. Of course, the Chelsea Manager will be more than happy with what his team has done in the first half. It is finely balanced, all set up for the second half. City will be hoping for better. Back to you. Just to let you know, those City Fans might be a little bit worried and concerned becausejust in fans might be a little bit worried and concerned because just in the last couple of minutes but has been a nasty injury to Kevin Taverna and he struggled a little bit so it looks like Kevin Burner will be taken off at the moment. Manchester city are trailing against chelsea in the Champions League final. You can follow it all on the website and app. Thence that will be playing Premier League Football after beating swansea twos zero in the semifinal. Well, there was another big final today at wembley, as brentford will be playing english Premier League Football next season after beating swansea 2 0 in the championship play off final. A penalty from Ivan Toney in the tenth minute and then a great emiliano Marcondes Goal ten minutes later were the difference in a game that experts think is worth over 227 million. Its the first time the bees will play in the top flight for 74 years. In some ways empty. For notions, just after the final whistle, of course, i was very emotional and very, there were Tears In My Eyes and in a lot of the stuff and a lot of the players because it is so big. A lot at the staff. Colombias Egan Bernal is one stage away from victory at the giro ditalia, having finished second on stage 20. Damiano caruso, who was second in the overall standings, put in a great ride to win the Stage And Gain 30 seconds on the man in the pinkjersey.

World number one Novak Djokovic completed his French Open preparation with victory at his own Tennis Centre in the belgrade open.

Djokovic, who is in the same half of the French Open draw as defending Champion Rafael Nadal and former winner roger federer, will start his campaign in paris against americas tennys sandgren. Thats all the sport for now. Chelsea still leading 1 0 against Manchester City in the Champions League final. Enjoy the second half, or what is left of there the global Vaccination Programme is key to the fight against coronavirus. But there is still reluctance among some to get the jab. The authorities across the world are using different tactics to encourage people to have their injection some trying to entice people into having a vaccine, as Tim Allman explains. This is probably the sort of thing you have in mind when you think of Lotto Fever. Queues of people lining up to get their ticket, dreaming of a potentially life changing jackpot. But in parts of america, there is now a new way to take part. With every injection, a chance to become A Millionaire. The first winners have been announced in ohios vax A Million lottery, a typically american way to get the population vaccinated. You know, ifelt we needed to create some excitement and i thought 1 Million and a scholarship over a five Week Period of time, five different times, would create a lot of excitement. Colorado and california are following in ohios footsteps with millions of dollars in potential prizes. Some may still be a little reluctant, but the plan does come with president ial approval. I hear that at last nights vaccine lottery, ohio has a new millionaire. Laughter. I tell you what. Who would have thunk it . A million bucks for getting a vaccine . And its notjust the united states hoping to essentially bribe its citizens to doing their civic duty. In hong kong, a flat worth more than 10 million, around 1 Million us is now up for grabs. The authorities believe its a small price to pay to encourage people to get theirjabs. After all, Lotto Fever is certainly preferable to the real thing. Tim allman, bbc news. Great idea. Uk music festivals could be facing another lost summer, according to mps who blame the government for not introducing an Insurance Safety Net for organisers. A report from the digital, culture, media and Sport Committee said ministers had refused to take multiple opportunities to address concerns and thats now too late for many festivals to go ahead this year. This report from sarah campbell. Early may, and a Test Event at liverpools sefton park. More than 5,000 people were allowed in to enjoy the atmosphere, the music, the food. They were tested and their behaviour was monitored to see whether a festival could be a safe place during a pandemic. Leeds, 2016, and even if it means getting a little muddy, thousands of people are desperate to get back to the festival experience. And the Reading And Leeds festivals 2021 are on at the end of august, and are sold out. But glastonbury, probably the best known event of its kind, was online only this year for the second year running, this corner of somerset wasnt the focus of global music interest. And many other festivals wont happen either this year, the parliamentary committee argues, because the Government Wont provide back up insurance to cover costs if events have to be cancelled at the last minute. Theres 975 festivals across the uk each year. A quarter of them are already gone, and thats worth £1. 7 billion and tens of thousands ofjobs. All they need is a little bit of certainty, so that if they cant go ahead, they will ensure that at least their costs, not their profits, are covered. The Government Department responsible says, Indemnity Cover will be looked at, adding they are, working flat out to support festivals and live events. And following on from promising Test Results from this event in liverpool, it has been announced that the Download Music Festival which had been cancelled will now go ahead injune, as a government Test Event.

Now its time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. Sunny skies and over 20 degrees. Weve got a few more days of this on The Way. Beautiful evenings, perfect for a walk in the park. Or some time in the Beer Garden Youve earned it. But mind the sunshine, its strong, weve not been used to it for quite some time now, so you may want to consider sunscreen if youre out the whole day. Ok, lets have a look at the forecast, then. And the warm weather thats spread across the uk and into scandinavia and many other parts of europe as this High Pressure continues to build. The winds are light, theres plenty of sunshine, it was a beautiful day on the East Coast today. But out towards the west, you can see a little bit more cloud. That cloud is in the process of melting away. So through this evening and overnight, we are talking about largely clear skies. However, we have got some low cloud in the North Sea and a bit of onshore wind, so that does mean by the early hours of sunday morning, it could turn quite overcast and murky on the North Sea coast, and in fact all The Way down to the kent coast. But elsewhere, it is sunshine from the word go. So a stunning start to the day across so many parts of the uk, but that low grey cloud will be flirting with the North Sea coast. So lets have a closer look. This is 3pm on sunday. A little chilly for our friends in lerwick with 10 degrees and some cloud. The cloud just off the coast of aberdeenshire there, but possibly lapping off to the coast of yorkshire, maybe lincolnshire, the norfolk coast, but elsewhere inland hardly a cloud in the sky. 22 degrees, perfect weather. Into Bank Holiday monday, the Warm Air continues to spread across the uk, light winds. There is a Weather Frontjust to the west of our neighbourhood, and the cold air is kept at bay out in the atlantic. On Bank Holiday monday, temperatures 23 in london, 23 in liverpool, and into The 20s For Glasgow and also for edinburgh. High pressure still with us on tuesday, the Weather Front still kept at bay and the winds are coming in from the south in the southern climes. I think our warmest day will be on tuesday, peaking at around 25 in london, we could hit the mid 20s for the north, 20 degrees for belfast with some sunshine as well. How long is it going to last . Its certainly going to last until tuesday, but by the time to get a wednesday, there could be some thunderstorms in The Way. But you know what . Thats a long way off. Lets enjoy the sunshine for now.
