Expect more busy beaches on Bank Holiday monday, on what could be the hottest day of the year so far. Hello, very good morning to you and welcome to Bbc News. Theres a new push under way to get more people in england vaccinated against Covid 19 this week, amid concerns that the variant first identified in india could delay the next phase of re opening. Ministers want everyone over 50 to have had both doses before the end ofjune. This morning, Twickenham Rugby Stadium opened as englands largest Vaccination Centre, with unvaccinated people who live nearby being encouraged to attend without an appointment. Up to 15,000 jabs will be available for people who havent yet received their first vaccine. The government has said it will wait untiljune the 14th to decide whether social distancing restrictions can be lifted a week later. Some scientists have warned against any further easing of coronavirus measures. This morning, the Environment Secretary George eustice has said the Government Cant Rule out a delay to easing saying ministers had to take things one step at a time. I have said all along, as have Matt Hancock and the prime minister, we cannot rule anything out. This has been a difficult pandemic, a dynamic situation. We have to make that judgment a couple of weeks before. It will only buy then we will see the full impact of the release we have made on the 17th of may. I know everybody wants to know what will happen, but we cannot make the judgment until we see the impact of the easements we have just made. Lets get more on this from our correspondent matt graveling. So much of what happens next depends on vaccination efforts, like the huge effort under way at twickenham stadium, tell us more about the capacity and how many people are actually hoping to get in once the message is out there that the stadium is open for vaccinations . Good morning, i need to. Welcome to twickenham. Probably not as you have seen it before. This stadium holds about 80,000 people. Today they are hoping to vaccinate 15,000 people from the local area around hounslow and the eight surrounding london boroughs. The reason for this, there has been a worrying increase in the number of people testing positive for coronavirus, especially the indian variant. You can see behind me, some of the 250 volunteers that will be helping that happened today as we turned that stadium into one of englands biggest Vaccination Centres. To tell you why this is important, this is kelly oneill, Health Directorfor important, this is kelly oneill, Health Director for hounslow. There is still one in ten of our populati there is still one in ten of our population who are older and havent been vaccinated and therefore unprotected. It doesnt matter which variant unprotected. It doesnt matter which variant is, unprotected. It doesnt matter which variant is, they can still get the Virus Variant is, they can still get the Virus And Variant is, they can still get the virus and still become seriously unwell this was set up in a round about a week by 600 people, so a very quick moving operation in response to the increase in Cases. We are going inside, so i will put this on and i hope you can still hear me. This is what is happening down inside the concourse which is normally full of Rugby Fans having a beer at half time. You can see behind me, one of 120 different tables, all the same with what is on top of them, Cotton Wool balls, Hand Sanitiser and we have got some little yellow beans they will put the needles and once they will put the needles and once they get jabbed. They will put the needles and once they getjabbed. People will come down here and there is a one Way System in place. They will sit down, have their details taken, but on the computer and they will get their firstjab. Anybody is eligible as long as you havent had your first and you are above 30 and you have had a text message, you can come down and get it without any need to book. 0nce down and get it without any need to book. Once you have had yourjab, you will go to a seating area, where you will go to a seating area, where you will go to a seating area, where you will be sat for about 15 minutes, then you will be back on your way. There is a big drive here to hopefully slow the increase they have seen here of Positive Covid test. ,. ,. , x have seen here of Positive Covid test. A. ,. , have seen here of Positive Covid test.

In Bolton Health officials are using the Bank Holiday and Half Term to try and encourage more people there to have the vaccine. A new Walk In Centre capable of giving out thousands of doses a day will be open until sunday and the army has been brought in to help with door to Door Testing after the continued spread of the indian coronaVirus Variant. The town has been one of the worst Hit Places in the country. Just tell us about this two pronged approach, the door to Door Testing and this expansion of Vaccination Capability . And this expansion of vaccination Ca Abili . , and this expansion of Vaccination Caabili . ,. , and this expansion of Vaccination Caabili . ,. , capability .

This is i at a Boys School in bolton. This is the third Mass Vaccination Site and it is to control the growing numbers of the indian variant in bolton, which has caused such concern. Hospital numbers have increased and last week medical directors express concern about the people coming to hospital, the age group, some of them in their 30s and 40s and 30 year olds are eligible to get the vaccine and that is the request. That is why this bus is here today to make sure that the community has no barrier to getting the vaccine, know where to travel, you can walk pass, you dont need an appointment, Astrazeneca And Pfizer on offer here. And a female only cue, so if you are a woman and want to be vaccinated by a woman, that is available. It is really breaking down the barriers and recognising that the vaccine is such an important part of controlling numbers, but of course it is not just that, testing is still key and thatis just that, testing is still key and that is why the army will be delivering Pcr Tests in communities and picking them up. Those results will be processed to enable Health Leaders here understand how things are spreading. The director for the Vaccine Programme here, doctor helen wall, says the numbers have begun to fall, but there is still work to do. Its only been a few days of the rate slowing down, so we really are keen to keep pushing forwards and get the rates down further. Weve worked really closely across the council, ccg, the hospital. Weve done a lot of work, we are also supported by the British Army here in bolton now, who have been out on the Streets Leafleting and doorknocking, doing plenty of work with our communities, to really stress the messages around social distancing, Et Cetera. So i think there is lots going on here in bolton, a combined, massive effort, so, yeah, it seems to be paying off, which is great. Weve got very young populations in many of the areas that have seen the highest rises here in bolton, so our areas closest to the Town Centre have thousands and thousands of young people, and each time the age comes down for eligibility, thousands more people are able to come forward for the vaccine. So i think the age of eligibility going down every few days has really helped and will really help us if we can get those people through the doors to be vaccinated asap. She also said it is important to stress it is notjust about the vaccine, it is about testing and understanding the spread of the disease here in bolton. This is a Drop In Service and over the weekend it has been quite, only about 500 people through this bus at the weekend and they want to see that reach up to 2000 per day every day this week. Back to you. This week. Back to you. Thank you very much this morning, Government Adviser and Microbiologist Professor Ravi gupta said the unlocking of coronavirus restrictions next month should be delayed by a few weeks due to the new variant. He was speaking to the Today Programme on Bbc Radio 4. The problem is that were actually not too far from reaching the sort of levels of vaccination that would help us contain the virus, and i think that people are not saying that we should abandon the 21stjune Date altogether, butjust to delay it by a few weeks, whilst we gather more intelligence, and we can look at the trajectory in a clearer way. And if you look at the gusts and benefits of getting it wrong, i think that it is heavily in the favour of delay. So, i think that that is the key thing. Yes, youre right, we will learn to live with it, but they state that was set did not take into account the fact that we would have a new variant on the horizon, with properties that allow it to evade antibodies, to some extent, and a virus which is more transmissible. Professor Adam Finn sits on Thejoint Committee on vaccination and immunisation. Thank you forjoining us this Bank Holiday monday. Listening to that, the costs and benefits of getting it wrong, it weighs heavily in favour to a delay of thejune the 21st date, would you concur with that . Yes, i agree completely. It is a case of better safe than sorry. We have done things too late in the past and we really shouldnt do that again. 0therwise everyone suffers, notjust health, but economically as well. What we want is to progressively open up and not get into a position where we are opening up into a position where we are opening up and closing down again. Lots into a position where we are opening up and closing down again. Up and closing down again. Lots of vulnerable people up and closing down again. Lots of vulnerable people have up and closing down again. Lots of vulnerable people have been vulnerable people have been vaccinated, the vaccination has been offered to everyone in that priority, those priority groups, so lots of people will say, we were told that once those people were vaccinated or at least been offered a vaccine, then that would be the way out of lockdown, so how do you respond to that . I do way out of lockdown, so how do you respond to that . Respond to that . I do still think the Vaccination Respond to that . I do still think the Vaccination Programme Respond to that . I do still think the Vaccination Programme is l respond to that . I do still think. The Vaccination Programme is their way out of lockdown. The Vaccination Programme is about two thirds done, so thejob Isnt Programme is about two thirds done, so the Job Isnt finished. And as we just heard, we now have a slightly different position because of a virus that might be more transmissible than the one that has been circulating up until now. It is more of a case of an adjustment than abandoning all hope. I think if we can get enough people immunise, we can get enough people immunise, we can get enough people immunise, we can get to a place where we can live normal lives, but were not quite there yet. fin normal lives, but were not quite there yet there yet. An adustment, is It Ossible there yet. An adustment, is it possible to there yet. An adustment, is it possible to say there yet. An adjustment, is it possible to say by there yet. An adjustment, is it possible to say by how there yet. An adjustment, is it possible to say by how many l there yet. An adjustment, is it possible to say by how many weeks . I dont think it is, there are several things we need find out. What is the secondary Transmission Rate of this indian variant . How many people do infect on average if you have got this infection . And to what extent will the rise in Cases lead to an increase of hospitalisation, how well has the Vaccine Programme, as he were just suggesting, done its job and protected us against people getting seriously ill . It is about finding those two things out and then we can work out how much of an adjustment needs to be done. We have been told from adjustment needs to be done. We have been told from the adjustment needs to be done. We have been told from the Data Adjustment needs to be done. We have been told from the data already been told from the data already available, that hardly anyone who is currently in Hospital Covid has had two vaccines, so in other words, if you have had a double vaccination, you have had a double vaccination, you seem to be well protected. If it is a case of getting to that point, and however long that takes based on what you are saying, where the great majority of people have had both their vaccinations . Their vaccinations . Exactly right, so that impression their vaccinations . Exactly right, so that impression where their vaccinations . Exactly right, so that impression where we their vaccinations . Exactly right, so that impression where we are j their vaccinations . Exactly right, so that impression where we are not seeing two dose vaccinated people in hospital confirms that the vaccinations we are using are still working against this new variant. So it is about getting the number of people up to a point where we really dont see that rise happening. So the more people that can come forward now, the sooner we will be in a good place and hopefully we can all get back to normal. It rare in a good place and hopefully we can all get back to normal. All get back to normal. If we think back to the all get back to normal. If we think back to the start all get back to normal. If we think back to the start of all get back to normal. If we think back to the start of the all get back to normal. If we think back to the start of the pandemic| back to the start of the pandemic and the government saying it was following the science, do you believe this is a moment for the government to follow the signs, not necessarily just about Listening Government to follow the signs, not necessarilyjust about listening to necessarily just about listening to the necessarilyjust about listening to the science, but to follow the data and the science . Becausejune the zist and the science . Becausejune the 21st has been fixed in the public imagination for so long and granted, ministers are saying they are proceeding with caution, but would you urge borisjohnson at this point to absolutely look at the data and put the science ahead of the political messaging . Put the science ahead of the political messaging . Yes, and to be fair, i political messaging . Yes, and to be fair. I think political messaging . Yes, and to be fair, i think what political messaging . Yes, and to be fair, i think what we political messaging . Yes, and to be fair, i think what we have political messaging . Yes, and to be fair, i think what we have been fair, i think what we have been hearing from the politicians over the last couple of days are reflecting the fact that they acknowledge that. It does look like they have learnt from experience of they have learnt from experience of the past and they dont want to be burned again by reacting too late. You know, we are Hearing Messages of caution and they are under a lot of pressure from people who really want to see things normalised as fast as possible, understandably. Buti think they have realised that if they dont pay attention to the public health data, we could end up all being worse off as a result. Qm. All being worse off as a result. 0k, professor. All being worse off as a result. 0k, professor. Good all being worse off as a result. 0k, professor, good to all being worse off as a result. 0k, professor, good to talk to you this morning and thank you for your time. Let me read through some of the messages you have been sending me about this question, this proposal from scientists that the final parts of Lockdown Easing should be delayed by a few weeks. Richard says, all the vulnerable groups have been vaccinated, plus many more, the virus will never be wiped out and time to let people make their own choices and end the never ending cycle of fear. Someone else says, millions of people with moderate to severe asthma have to wait alongside their healthy peers, despite having respiratory disease. That is a story we have covered on Bbc News with asthmatics. They are arguing they should have been vaccinated sooner. Josh says the bbc never questions the scientist who want more delays, do some proper journalism. I have you heard me putting the opposing view to professor Adam Finn. This one from Laurie Leaver who says whatever it takes to avoid another crisis. A doctor says, lockdown should be delayed until we know where we stand exactly with the new variant. We need to act responsibly if we dont want to lose our near and dear ones, there should be a closure of the borders with india. Do you think those final bits, the final parts of Lockdown Easing should be delayed by a few weeks if necessary . It has been suggested by a leading scientist this morning, while we gather more data with what is happening with this latest variant. Send your thoughts into me. France has tightened restrictions on travel from the uk to try to stop the spread of the variant of coronavirus first identified in india. New rules came into force at Midnight Meaning british tourists will not be allowed in. France is currently listed as an Amber Destination by the uk government, which advises against travel there. More than 430,000 volunteers have carried out nearly Two Million tasks for those who had to stay at home during the Coronavirus Pandemic. This included Phone Calls to the isolated, Delivering Medicines and stewarding Covid Vaccination sites. Duncan kennedy reports. Britain was already a nation of volunteers, but Covid 19 has supercharged the desire in people to help. A giant Task Force of unpaid individuals has been mobilized. Youll feel a small scratch. 711,000 people alone have been signed up to support the nhs roll out of its Vaccination Programme. Giving something back to the nhs for all the wonderful work that theyve been doing through the lockdown, and how busy theyve been. And its just been so rewarding to know that you can help somebody that needs your help. Most volunteering has been channelled through the Nhs Volunteer responders programme, set up at the start of the pandemic. Todays figures show its had 436,000 recruits, whove carried out 1. 9 million tasks. That includes 111,500 lifts to and from hospitals, and more than 800,000 check in and chats on people who are lonely or isolated. A separate fort from the London School of economics has said the volunteers get a boost to their sense of well being, equivalent to receiving a bonus of £1800. Duncan kennedy, Bbc News. A temporary ban on Bailiff Enforced Evictions introduced in england at the start of the Coronavirus Pandemic has come to an end today. Charities say 400,000 tenants have already received Eviction Notices, or been told to expect them, as our Business Correspondent Katy austin reports. Rudolf was made redundant last year. £3,000 behind on rent, the fear his landlord could soon try to evict him, keeps him awake at night. Its affecting my health. So if would have any kind of security, maybe another Eviction Ban, or maybe a promise from my landlord to say that i wont evict you until we get a fix for this, i would be actually able to sleep. Despite the Emergency Financial Support thats been available over the past year, one charity says widespread concerns remain. We found that A Million households are worried about being evicted over the coming three months after the ban comes to an end. Weve seen that some households are a lot more worried than others. So bme renters, families with children, those on low incomes, and those whove seen an Income Fall during the pandemic. Landlords warn the Eviction Ban has caused delays removing tenants with pre existing problems, but they say theyve tried to help people affected by the pandemic. Sue is letting a family gradually pay back thousands they couldnt afford in the first lockdown, which affects her too. When they cant pay their rent, i have to pay the mortgage on that property, which is Part And Parcel of the risk of being a landlady. But also, their rent not only pays the mortgage, but it gives me surplus, and thats my income. The government says tenants will continue to be supported, including with longer than usual notice periods. Housing and landlords groups both want more done to stop covid related Rent Debts putting tenancies in doubt. Katy austin, Bbc News. We can speak now to Ghazal Haqani who lives with her husband and two children in East London and is facing eviction. Shes also an organiser for the London Renters union. Thank you very much for talking to us today. Like so many people during the pandemic, Yourfamily Income has been affected, tell us your story. Yes, the last year my income really dipped and that affected everything. We have lived here in this property for about ten years and this is like a really difficult situation we are faced with. What was really annoying and agonising was that the government did not do anything for the people who rent. We have to, as a movement, push for the Eviction Ban in march last year. Since then, they have only extended it. It did not really solve the problem, so the rent that continued, because incomes were not in place any time soon. So the only thing that the government asked the landlords to do was show compassion. That is absolutely down to, if they wanted to do it. That is no protection, it is only postponing the avalanche, the crisis which we see now. I the avalanche, the crisis which we see now. ,. , see now. I believe i am right in sa inc, see now.

I believe i am right in i saying, you and your husband are back at work now and your rent since then has been paid up today, but you have this part of that, if i can call it that, from last year. Have you been able to have any constructive conversations with your landlord to try to work out a plan . No, we have proposed several times, repayment plan, which has been rejected completely. Again, because he is under no obligation to do so. He may want to sell off the property after evicting us, or especially now because again, like the government has pumped up the Property Prices because of the Stamp Duty Cancellation for the next year. Yes, we have tried and he has not accepted and it is absolutely, You Know, he is absolutely right in terms of doing so legally. And that is only because the government has completely ignored the rights of renters. ,. , completely ignored the rights of renters. , renters. Have you been served. Sor to renters.

A Government Spokesperson said.

Evictions will not be carried out if a member of the home has Covid 19 symptoms or is self isolating. After one of the wettest mays on record, The Sun has finally made an appearance for the Bank Holiday weekend, with temperatures set to reach 25 degrees today. Thousands of people have flooded to the seaside to make the most of it. Adam mcclean is in skegness. It is work, but it is pretty nice work in skegness there .

It is shaping i at all. Good morning. It is shaping up at all. Good morning. It is shaping up to be an absolutely beautiful day in skegness. Still quite a few clouds in the sky but they are slowly and surely burning away. We are on the Skegness Pier and it has been here since 1881. It is a little shorter than you might expect because much of it was washed away in a huge storm more than 40 years ago. The company that recently bought the pier, they have some very big plans for it indeed. We will hear about that injust big plans for it indeed. We will hear about that in just a moment. Lets take a little look at this. We thought we would send you a postcard from the seaside. In skegness, The Sunny Bank Holiday gave tourism a much needed boost. Its been a while since the sounds of a busy seaside filled the town. We had. We went to the shops, we had dinner, and now were on the beach. And then were going to go to the machine, the arcade. And were leaving at eight. This Bank Holidays turned out to be a boost. And it needed it, didnt it . It definitely needed it. I mean, now the restrictions have eased a little bit, people are coming out at last. They reckon one in three families will be holidaying in the uk this Bank Holiday, which is good for us, good for all the trade in skeg, mablethorpe and cleethorpes. I can vouch for every resort. Theyre all doing well. Johns family have offered Donkey Rides here since the first world war. He plans to pass the business on to future generations. Well, you think, when you look back at the old photographs of sailors riding donkeys, coming to the port of grimsby, You Know, on Shore Leave in the war, and now we all got shut down through, You Know, a virus. They carried through the war, so ive carried on through the virus. Around Four Million visitors come to skegness every year. Jobs here depend on the recovery of tourism. Ithink, You Know, people are enjoying, and its nice to see people back to skeggy. It looks beautiful. And you can see, i think, everything will be all right. The uks got to be back and, You Know, support the country, and thats how its got to be. And its brilliant. Id rather people stay here than go out, then bring the virus back in. Im trying to get one of them, not all of the coins. Its the first day out since lockdown started a year last march, with grandchildren. Whats it like to be back out with the kids . Lovely. Well, theyve grown so much. Weve missed so much. With indoor entertainment now open, the arcades were busy. At the pier this new space welcomed its first Bank Holiday visitors. Ive been in the Leisure Industry a long time, and this is the hardest 12 months ive ever known, obviously. Its greatjust to see people about again. You know, theres nothing quite like seeing a family of kids enjoying themselves and people smiling. Its recognition for the hard work that everyone in Leisure Puts in. Restaurants and bars benefited from indoor eating and drinking. This Fish And Chip shop got through three tonnes of potatoes. Its been manic, absolutely manic. I mean, i know its a Bank Holiday, but this is sort of a double whammy Bank Holiday all in one go. Its been busier than what we ever expected. Its such a big relief. You know, with all this covid going on last year, every business, You Know, took a hit on the resort. But i mean, today, its probably made up for a lot of missed days, i suppose. So, yeah. I mean, weve been nonstop since we opened our doors at 10. 30 this morning. For many here, its been the most normal spring Bank Holiday in two years. Businesses in the Resort Hope Today will be just the same. We are joined now by brendan from embassy theatre skegness.

World number two Naomi 0saka could be kicked out of the French Open and banned from Future Grand Slams if she continues to refuse to speak to the media. 0saka said last week that she would not talk to the press during roland garros because she wants to protect her Mental Health, as adam wild reports. Arriving at the French Open, all the talk was of who wouldnt talk. Behind the mask here, Naomi 0saka, not yet on court but already courting controversy. Her refusal to speak to the press is to protect her Mental Health, she says, a stance that has divided opinion. Her extraordinary talent, though, is quite beyond debate. Already a global sporting icon, quite beyond debate. Already a globalsporting icon, but quite beyond debate. Already a global sporting icon, but yet to prove herself on clay. Against her romanian opponent, showers forced to fight but ultimately found her feet. Through to the second round, without serious concern, at least not on court. Good to her word, not a word to the press afterwards, prompting tournament organisers to find her 15,000. Saying the Mental Health of players is of the utmost importance to the Grand Slams, but should she continue to ignore her media obligations, she would be exposing herself to default from the tournament, More Substantialfines tournament, more substantial fines and tournament, More Substantialfines and future Grand Slam suspensions. I totally respect her decision, everyone has had different experiences with the press, everyone has had Press Conferences where i am sure they have not felt the best coming out of it, but i have always taken the opinion that it is part of thejob. Taken the opinion that it is part of the ob. ,. , the job. Osako tweeted anger is a lack of understanding, the job. Osako tweeted anger is a lack of understanding, change the job. Osako tweeted anger is a lack of understanding, change makes people uncomfortable. She may not be speaking to the media but Naomi 0saka is not going away quietly, either. Meanwhile, it was a day to forget for british Number One dan evans. He was knocked out by World Number 48 miomir kecmanovic, despite winning the first set 6 1. But the Serb Hit back to win the next three sets, and it leaves evans still searching for a first Singles Win at roland garros. Elsewhere, two time finalist Dominic Thiem was also knocked out. As it stands, theres no host for this years delayed copa america, which is due to start in two weeks. Argentina was removed due to circumstances in the country, following covid surges. Brazil are the defending champions they won it in 2019. Argentina was originally set to co host with colombia who were removed earlier this month after protests in the country. The south american Football Confederation Commebol will meet today to decide on the next steps. Premiership Champions Exeter boosted their chances of a home play off semifinal after thrashing newcastle by 74 3. Its the Chiefs Record Win in the top flight, with this try from Henry Slade one of 12 they ran in. And what a game for the returning crowd of about 4,000. The win sees them move back into second place and just three points behind league leaders bristol. And it was third time lucky for harlequins who are the best womens rugby team in england, having won the premier 15s for the first time. After losing the last two finals to saracens, they beat their London Rivals 25 17 to finally get their hands on the trophy. A fitting farewell for their coach karen findlay, who leaves the club after five years in charge. There was a disappointing end for Great Britain In Theirfinal event of the European Team championships in poland. The mens four by Four Hundred Metres Relay Team failed to pass on the baton for the final leg of the race. Britain had been leading the standings going into the final day. But failing to finish has seen them slip to third overall, behind Winners Poland and runners up italy. And finally, there was no F1 Grand Prix this weekend, but that didnt stop Lewis Hamilton throwing himself into the Danger Zone the seven times World Champion finding some time to take part in one of his other passions, sky diving. He says its become one of his favourite things to do in his spare time. Thats certainly one way to enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend. Thats all the sport for now. China is relaxing its Family Planning Policy to allow couples to have three children, up from the current limit of two. The decision comes after census data showed a steep decline in the number of births. Its not yet clear when the change will take effect. Five years ago, china abandoned a controversial one Child Policy which had been in place for decades to limit population growth. 0ur China Correspondent Stephen Mcdonell explains the significance of the move. First it was the one Child Policy then the two Child Policy, now the three Child Policy. Given chinas demographics, some are wondering why there are birth limits at all here. You know, the one Child Policy, which had been in place for decades, worked pretty well in terms of achieving its goal and slowed the Birth Rate here. Decades ago, policymakers were worried the country was going to be swamped by people. Then it was loosened up so families could have two children. But what was happening is, people already used to just having their one child, you imagine there are generations of people who are used to not having any brothers and sisters, used to having small families. Plus it costs more, as any family knows, it costs more to have kids. So, even after the loosening up, people were not having two kids and so now i think they are wondering, anyone who wants two, you can have three kids if you want. Because of the ageing Population Problem here, they are thinking in certain areas, they need to replenish the population. But as with any country, as a population becomes more affluent, they dont want to have as many kids and basically its because when youre in a poor country, every new child is a new worker. When you get richer, you dont need all these worker children to keep the farm going and what have you and many families, the more affluent ones are happy enoughjust to have one child. So it will be interesting to see how much of an uptick that is in Birth Rates given this new relaxation of the policy. This has all onlyjust been announced, so being itsjust News Flashes across the country, its onlyjust been revealed that this is going to be the case, and already, i was walking back towards the bureau after going in to by a coffee and people were watching their phones and the news was flashing up and talking about three child, three child this and that. So a lot of discussion about it and we are yet to get most of the details. Hundreds of afghans who worked for the british military and at its embassy in kabul will be rapidly relocated, with many expected to be resettled in the uk. The decision comes amid fears for their safety as international troops prepare to leave the country and the Security Situation deteriorates. 0ur Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale has more. Afghan interpreters have put their lives on the line, serving alongside british troops in combat in helmand until 2014. Though some have already been allowed to resettle in the uk, many were left behind, and are now living in real danger, with their old employers soon about to leave for good. The departure of all us, british and nato forces is under way. And there are growing concerns that those who work for them will be targeted by the taliban. So the governments agreed a new programme to bring hundreds more back to britain for safety. Along with their immediate families, it could mean more than 3,000 afghans coming here to make their home in the uk. With the western powers leaving afghanistan, the threat is increasing and has increased with targeted attacks against afghans by the taliban. So, we think its the right thing to do, to stand by these people. They sacrificed a lot to look after us, and now were going to do the same. The Defence And Home secretaries, seen here last year meeting some of the afghans whove already resettled in the uk, say its a moral obligation to look after them. But it will also be a huge challenge in the midst of the military withdrawal. The last of the 750 british troops in kabul are due to leave by september, and its not yet clear where these afghan families will be resettled in the uk. Jonathan beale, Bbc News. New rules designed to reduce the number of fake Whiplash Claims have come into force in england and wales. The government says the changes will save the average motorist around £35 a year on their car insurance. The system has been simplified and motorists can now use an online portal to make accident claims under £5,000. There is now a ban on settling Cases'>Whiplash Cases without medical evidence, a practice which has in the past opened the door to fraudulent or exaggerated claims. Insurers have pledged to pass on the savings that these reforms will create to drivers. Will batchelor reports. More than 80 of all personal injury claims for Road Traffic accidents last year were related to whiplash, over half A Million of them. A rise in fraud has been blamed for driving up the figures, even as the number of crashes has fallen. Sadly, a number of them, frankly, that have been fraudulent claims, and thats resulted in an increase in premiums for All Of Us. Thats not good for road users, and its certainly not good in terms of the reputation of the insurance industry. And thats why i think the new online system, dealing with those smaller claims, will help root out Fraud And Help reduce premiums for All Of Us. People can use a new online portal for claims of less than £5,000. Its meant to simplify the process and remove the need for expensive lawyers. Medical evidence will now be required in Cases'>Whiplash Cases. The Trade Body for insurers said motorists will see cheaper premiums as a result. It is going to cut out expensive legal fees which sometimes can be more than the actual value of the claim. And in turn, if we can get those savings into the system, all honest motorists out there should be benefiting from it. The government says the changes will stop those looking for an easy Pay Day abusing the system, while ordinary drivers pay the price. Will batchelor, Bbc News. Israels prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that a proposed new Unity Government without him as its leader would be a dangerfor the security of the country. He urged right wing politicians not to support a deal after ultra nationalist leader Naftali Bennett said he would share power with a centrist party. Mr Netanyahus Opponents have until wednesday to form a government. If they are successful, it would bring to an end the rule of the countrys longest serving prime minister. Courtney bembridge reports. Four elections in two years have returned no clear winner. And through it all, Benyamin Netanyahu has clung to power. Do you want another election, he asks . Yes Per Se the crowd. No, say the crowd. But now, the clearest path yet to a Unity Government that would end his time as the countrys longest serving prime minister. Naftali bennett, a far right nationalist politician who was once Benyamin Netanyahus chief of staff, has joined talks with the centrist Party Leader yair lapid. Translation nobody is being asked to give up on their ideology, but everybody will have to make some compromises. Under the proposed deal, the two men would reportedly take turns to be prime minister. It isa it is a very precarious coalition, and it it is a very precarious coalition, and it doesnt take much at all to bring and it doesnt take much at all to bring it and it doesnt take much at all to bring it all and it doesnt take much at all to bring it all crushing down. Even before bring it all crushing down. Even before it bring it all crushing down. Even before it is bring it all crushing down. Even before it is consummated. Mr netanyahu had been offering Naftali Bennett his own last Minute Power Sharing arrangement and was quick to respond. Translation i heard Naftali Bennett. Unfortunately, he is again misleading the public. The same lies, same empty slogans on Hate And Division from someone who helps hatred and division. And also someone who was perpetrating, i must say, the fraud of the century. The deadline to form a coalition is looming and comes at the same time as high level talks to strengthen a ceasefire between israeli forces and palestinian militants after 11 days of conflict earlier this month. Courtney bembridge, Bbc News.
