A nation of volunteers how more than iso thousand people carried out nearly Two Million tasks for those in need in the pandemic. Its the the hottest day of the year so far and people have been flocking to the beach to enjoy the good weather. And in Tennis Cameron Norrie is the only british Player Left in the French Open singles after beating american bjorn fratangelo. Good evening. Some scientists who advise the government are calling for the lifting of the final coronavirus restrictions in england on the 21st Ofjune to be delayed because of Infection Rates and the spread of The Indian Variant. The environment secretary, george eustice, warned that Ministers Cant Rule out delaying the lockdown easing. He said the situation was dynamic and the data still needed to be assessed. It comes as englands largest Vaccination Centre has opened at twickenham rugby stadium. Heres our health correspondent, anna collinson. Its one of the biggest Rugby Stadiums in the world, but today thousands are being encouraged to come to twickenham for their coronavirus jab. The ground is close to hounslow, an area which has seen a rise in the variant first detected in india. Its been really good. The queue was quite long but it moved quite quickly and everything seems organised. I want the whole country to come out of lockdown, hopefully on the 215t ofjune, so the more people vaccinated the better. So doing our part, really. Nearly three quarters of adults in the uk have now had a first dose. Hounslow� s public Health Service says one in ten older people havent taken up their invite for a vaccine. We have in the matter of four or five days pulled this event together so we can vaccinate up to 15,000 people in one day. The reason we have chosen such a big event is we can socially distance people, we can safely get that many people through the stadium. In bolton, an area with one of the highest Infection Rates in the uk, the army is on hand to encourage residents without symptoms to get tested. There is also a Vaccine Bus which can offer a jab to adults in postcodes with high rates of The Indian Variant. Coronavirus cases in the uk are once again on the rise with a 27 increase in the past week. Whether this will translate into serious illness and hospitalisations is not yet known. There is also a push for people to take up their second jab, which provides more substantial protection. One of the experts advising the government says further easing of restrictions due in three weeks� time should be postponed. People are not saying we should abandon TheJune 21st 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. If you look at the cost and benefits of getting it wrong i think its heavily in the favour of delaying. Ministers say it will be a two Week Wait before they can say for certain whether complete unlocking can go ahead on the 21st Ofjune. I know everybody wants to know whats going to happen but we cannot Make Thatjudgment until we see the impact of these easings we have just made. The hope is that drives like this in twickenham will make that unlocking more likely. And the deaprtment of health has updated the latest Government Figures on coronavirus. In the last 2a hours, i death has been recorded within 28 days of a positive covid test, and there have been 3,383 new cases in the latest 24 hour period. And, turning to the vaccination program, in total, 39. 3 million people have now had their firstjab, and 25. 5 million people have had their second dose. Lets speak now with robert read, professor of infectious diseases at the university of southampton, and also member of Thejoint Committee on vaccination and immunisation. Good on vaccination and immunisation. Evening professl stand good evening professor. Where do you stand on this debate about whether or not the planned Lockdown E Zine should be delayed beyond June 21 . I think its possible that the government could stick to its plan but i think its a little bit too early to say. As you recall, the government said there will be six weeks between steps and in five weeks between steps and in five weeks for the analysis. The 14th Of June is the point when the analysis starts. There are certain pieces of data that will be vital at that point in time to make a decision. And i dont think its yet time to start speculating on whether its going to be possible or not. Remind us, what going to be possible or not. Remind us. What are going to be possible or not. Remind us, what are those going to be possible or not. Remind us, what are those pieces going to be possible or not. Remind us, what are those pieces of going to be possible or not. Remind us, what are those pieces of data . | us, what are those pieces of data . First of all the efficiency of the vaccine rollout. At the moment thats going really well. Then whether or not the vaccine is working at the moment the data tells us the vaccine is working, especially after two doses. Theres also a reduction in events after our first dose as well. And then the viral abundance in the community. Particular i think a really important piece of information is going to be whether there is hospitalisation, serious illness. Particularly among people who receive a vaccine. In other words, whether we are seeing evidence of vaccine failure. I whether we are seeing evidence of vaccine failure. Vaccine failure. I suppose there fear is that vaccine failure. I suppose there fear is that there vaccine failure. I suppose there fear is that there will vaccine failure. I suppose there fear is that there will still vaccine failure. I suppose there fear is that there will still be i vaccine failure. I suppose there fear is that there will still be a | fear is that there will still be a proportion of the population, a large proportion of the population that wont have been vaccinated by june the 21st. And that it might be those people who are vulnerable. You are uuite those people who are vulnerable. Im, are quite right. We are rolling through a programme but by the middle to late Part Ofjune we should have seen all 30 year old having received their second dose. And once we have vaccination for all 50 year olds over 50 year olds. We should blunt the impact in terms of Hospitalisation And Pressure on the nhs. Its not as pessimistic as some might paint the picture. Looking at the present data, would you say that we are not seeing that rising hospitalisation that would trigger a fear . Irate rising hospitalisation that would trigger a fear . Rising hospitalisation that would Triu Aer a fear . ~. ,. , trigger a fear . We are seeing a rise in hospitalisations trigger a fear . We are seeing a rise in hospitalisations and trigger a fear . We are seeing a rise in hospitalisations and those trigger a fear . We are seeing a rise in hospitalisations and those in trigger a fear . We are seeing a rise in hospitalisations and those in our| in hospitalisations and those in our geographic areas of the uk that have the novel variant. This is not yet translating across the country. So it is a little bit early to call this a pandemic wave. It is not a third wave yet. We are seeing a rise in cases but we have to keep a very close eye on what happens in terms of abundance of those infections and the severity of the illness that they cause. The severity of the illness that they cause the severity of the illness that the cause. , ~ the severity of the illness that the cause. ,. They cause. Okay. Thank you so much for our they cause. Okay. Thank you so much foryourtime 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. Meanwhile, the European Commission says that all eu countries can gradually ease Travel Measures over the summer as the number of covid 19 vaccinations continues to rise. Eu leaders revealed plans to harmonise Travel Measures across the bloc, including allowing fully vaccinated people to move around without the need for Testing Or Quarantines when travelling from one Eu Country to another. We propose no travel related Testing Or Quarantine for fully vaccinated oi recovered persons. This is already practise in many member states. And it should be independent from where you travel from, or where you are travelling to. We propose a common understanding of who a fully vaccinated person is, in the context of travel. That means 1a days after having received the last dose. Particularly with your eu digital Covid Certificate for vaccination or recovery, you will be able to provide reliable proof that you do noT Need to be subject to additional restrictions. The Government Ban on landlords being able to evict their tenants during the pandemic ends today. With up to 400,000 tenants in Rent Arrears there is concern that there could be a rise in homelessness. The government says tenants will continue to be supported with longer notice periods and financial help. 0ur social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan reports. Rudolph has had a year to forget. The Media Company he worked for went bust. He found a job as a carer, but was made redundant so he now delivers takeaway food. It is stressful and its affecting my health and it gives a lot of sleepless nights. His bills have mounted energy, Council Tax and rent. The 26 year old owes his landlord £3,400 in arrears. Ijust dont know when im going to wake up to that dreadful message saying, that this is your notice, because of the Rent Arrears. So far the ban of the eviction was my Safety Net for me not to be ending up on the streets or anything. Around 400,000 tenants are under threat of eviction, say thejoseph rowntree foundation. Many renters are employed in Retail And Hospitality so their incomes have fallen and their debts mounted during the past year. Families with children as well as black and asian households are struggling the most to avoid eviction. Renters have faced a loss of income and at a higher rate than homeowners through the pandemic, and thats despite all of the extra Income Support through the benefit system. And so they are struggling more, theyre more likely to have fallen behind on their household bills, theyre more likely to have fallen into arrears. Citizens advice calculated average Rent Arrears are £900, but The End of the Ban Wont immediately lead to people being made homeless, as the courts will need to approve all evictions. Ministers say theyll continue to support tenants but also need to be fair to landlords. Piano music. Candy richards says shes lost £9,000 in rent on the house she lets out. Her Tenant Hasnt paid her in 18 months. She told them she wanted them out before the pandemic, but the ban left her powerless to remove them. The eviction ban, what it did do was safeguard tenants who actually had just decided to stop paying rent or were committing anti social behaviour. Because there was no distinction between those tenants that couldnT Pay and those tenants that wouldnT Pay. Ideally, rudolph would like a role in media, but anyjob that covers his rent would do.

China has announced that couples will be allowed to have up to Three Children up from the current limit of two. Census data has shown a steep decline in the birth rate. Five years ago, china abandoned the one Child Policy that had been in place for decades, to limit population growth. 0ur CorrespondentStephen Mcdonell explained more about the Landmark Shift in policy from the chinese government. We had a one Child Policy, then a two Child Policy, now a three Child Policy and some are wondering why i was out buying a coffee when the announcement came that you could see people looking down at the mobile violent phones as the News Hit their screen. Everybody cannot have three kids. The question is, do they want to have them . The chinese government is hoping to fix its demographic headaches by allowing people to have more kids. The idea is that in the future more young people coming into the workforce and paying more taxes will pay for the increasing number of people hitting retirement age. Heres the challenge though, a little Snap Survey and in came the results. Do you want to have three kids now if you have the chance . 1,000 people straightaway, i would love to have more kids, three kids, cant wait. Around 700 were a little bit nervous about it, 23,000 Respondents Straightaway said there is no way i would consider having three kids. Translation l have one kid but if the government could give us some sort of subsidy we would definitely have more. Translation Three Children, two are enough. Even one is exhausting me. I am tired to death looking after these two. According to chinas latest Census Birth rates are now at roughly now at 60s level. Why is that . When you talk to young couples they will say, i would rather give one child lots of chances then spread my income over say, several children. Another factor is that we now have generations of people who are completely unaccustomed to the experience of having brothers and sisters. For them small families as the way to go. 0therfactors, in the 1970s Poor Farmers wanted to have more children because each new Human Being was an addition to the family work unit. Along comes affluence and that is gone. Then there are the analysts saying you Cant Fix demographic problems by simply pouring more people into the equation. Youre just kicking the can down the road. Human expansion cannot go on forever. But all of this is completely hypothetical. If the authorities here cant convince young people to have more kids anyway. The headlines on Bbc News. Some scientists are warning that the final stage of unlocking in england due OnJune 21st should be delayed by a few weeks. The government says its taking things one step at a time.

Sparked by an alleged assault by a black man on a white teenager, a white mob rampaged through the affluent Greenwood Area of the city shooting, burning and looting. Today marks the 100th anniversary. A handful of survivors who lost everything are still waiting for compensation. This report from Gary 0donoghue contains some images you may find distressing. Before the destruction they called it black wall street. But injust 18 hours a murderous white mob had razed a thriving Black Community to the ground making 10,000 people homeless with up to 300 black lives lost. Few dispute that it was the worst single act of racial violence in the history of the united states. I will never forget the violence of the white mob when we left our home. I still see black men being shot, black bodies lying in the street. I still smell smoke and see fire. Because of the massacre my family were driven out of our home. We were left with nothing. So here is the Basement Room where people hid in. And how many do you think came down here . At least a few hundred. Robert turner is the reverend at the vernon ame church. It was one of several burned to the ground during the massacre. The church was rebuilt with parishioners� money as the insurers refused to pay out. After the massacre there was this movement by the white community to not ever talk about it because they knew they had gotten away with murder. They didnt want to ever bring it up and any of the black people who brought it up, they were either killed, or run out of town or intimidated into silence. Not a single person was prosecuted for the murders, for the looting or for the arson. Not one black family received a penny in compensation. It would take 75 years for there to be any official recognition that a massacre had taken place at all. While tulsa unites to mark the massacre, there are divisions. That has meant the cancellation of a major concert, the survivors at odds with the city over who should pay them reparations. The centennial is not about concerts, its not about speeches, its not about interviews. It is about focusing on the people that were harmed, and doing everything in our power to make sure those people receive justice, respect and reparations. But while the survivors continue their fight for compensation, some among the younger generation are finding the historyjust too much to cope with. It is so painful that i cant even live in this city. I just cant. But i have since moved to atlanta, georgia, which i consider to be, you know, The New Black wall street. When the president comes to Tulsa Tomorrow he will yet again address a shameful episode in the countrys history. And with the murder of George Floyd still uppermost, many will wonder just how much has really changed in america over the past 100 years. Gary 0donoghue, Bbc News, tulsa. The israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has urged right wing politicians not tojoin a proposed new Unity Government which threatens to end his twelve years in power. Mr netanyahu described it as a danger to israels security and future. But the new coalition has already won the backing of his former chief of staff, the Ultra Nationalist politician, Naftali Bennett. Tom bateman has the story theres some Flash Photography in his report. Israels had four elections in two years, but no clear winner. Its politics is gripped by dysfunction. All the time Benjamin Netanyahu has clung on as prime minister. But now in the fight to form a new coalition, a once loyal right Wing Ally has broken ranks. Last night, Naftali Bennett said he would join a Unity Government, without Mr Netanyahu, as he put the knife into his old boss. Translation instead of managing, dealing with problems, leading, the standard operation is to direct the fire outwards, encourage Hatred And Polarisation among the people, to cover up forfailure. Two thousand years ago, there was a jewish state which fell here, because of internal quarrels. This will not happen again, not on my watch. Naftali bennett is an Ultra Nationalist who favours more jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and opposes a palestinian state. Hes set to join forces with a Centre Ground Politician yair lapid. They are currently in talks and would take it in turns as prime minister. But Mr Netanyahu is hitting back. Translation i heard Naftali Bennett. Translation i heard Naftali Bennett. Unfortunately, he is again misleading the public. Same lies, same empty slogans on Hate And Division from someone who helps hatred and division. And also someone who is perpetrating, i must say, the fraud of the century. At israels parliament, politicians are meeting to hammer out an agreement on a possible new government, and they could unseat Mr Netanyahu within days. The parties that want him gone have a tough road ahead if theyre to get sworn in here as a new government next week. They feel tantalisingly close, and if they do succeed it will be the biggest change in israeli politics in years. But they know one thing Mr Netanyahu wont go down without a fight.

Thats up from the expected growth of 5. 1 according to new data from the organisation for economic cooperation and development.

This will come as no surprise to those of you who� ve been able to enjoy the sunny Weather Today but this this Bank Holiday monday has officially been the warmest day of the year so far. After enduring a largely wet Anf Grey may, people took advantage of the balmy conditions to hit beaches and parks across the country. The Met Office said Twenty FivePoint One Celsius was recorded in the village of kinlochewe, in the North West highlands. That surpasses the previous peak, of Twenty Four point five, at Kew Gardens in london in march. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with darren bett. Hello there. Today has been the warmest day of the year so far. But temperatures can get even higher in the next day or two. After a lovely evening for many parts of the country it can be dry and clear overnight, not as much of this low cloud coming back in from off the North Sea after the warmth of her earlier on for many temperatures will remain in double figures tonight. Could start a bit cloudy and grey across parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire and eastern scotland. That low cloud burning back to the coast where it� s going to be a bit cooler. 0n the way of sunshine coming out of across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland but for many it� s going to be a sunny day once again. Strong sunshine, those temperatures continuing to climb perhaps getting up to 25 or even 26 c. As we head into wednesday we start to see some changes especially for wales and the southwest. More cloud, some showers, could be heavy and thundery. Those could sneak their way into hampshire up towards merseyside and eventually towards Northern Ireland. Ahead of it though it� s going to be dry and sunny, temperatures could get 26 degrees or so. It will be cooler around the North Sea coast. New warnings of a third wave of coronavirus, and calls to delay england� s planned end to lockdown next month. Vaccinations continue apace, but scientists are wary of The Indian Variant.

Good evening. Some scientists advising the government on coronavirus, are calling for the lifting of the final Lockdown Restrictions in england, due on the 21st Ofjune, to be postponed. They say they� re concerned about rising Infection Rates, due to The Indian Variant. Ministers warn the government can� t make a final decision for another two weeks, but some businesses arguethey Need Clarity now. Here� s our health correspondent, anna collinson. It� s one of the biggest Rugby Stadiums in the world. But today thousands are being encouraged to come to twickenham for their coronavirus jab. It� s been really good. I thought the queue was quite long, but it moves quite quickly and everything seems like really organised. Ijust sort of want the whole countryjust to come out of lockdown hopefully 21stjune, so the more people vaccinated, the better. So doing our part really. This afternoon it was announced anyone over 18 could come and get theirjab before the grounds close at eight this evening. Almost three quarters of adults in the uk have now had a first dose. Hounslow� s public Health Service helped organise this event, as they are concerned some of those who are most at risk have not yet been vaccinated. We have, in the matter of four or five days, pulled this event together so we can vaccinate up to 15,000 people in one day. The reason we have chosen such a big event is because we can social distance people, we can safely get that many people through the stadium. Twickenham� s location is also significant. It� s close to hounslow, an area which has seen a rise in the variant first detected in india. People can come here and get a jab without an appointment, and it is just one of the many measures being tried across the uk, to encourage those who are eligible to come and get a vaccine. In bolton, which has a persistently high infection rate, fuelled by The Indian Variant, a bus is offering a jab to eligible adults in affected areas. The army is also on hand to encourage residents without symptoms to get tested. While in glasgow, another area of concern, a drop in Vaccine Centre has been set up to encourage anyone who is over 40, to get their second dose, as that provides more substantial protection. Coronavirus cases in the uk are once again on the rise, with a 29 increase in the past week. It is thought it� s been fuelled by The Indian Variant, but it� s not yet known if this will translate into serious illness and hospitalisations. One of the experts advising the government says further easing of restrictions due in three weeks� time should be postponed. The people are not saying that we should, you know, abandon the 21stjune Date all together butjust to delay it by a few weeks, while we gather more intelligence and we can look at the trajectory in a clearer way. And if you look at the cost and benefits of getting it wrong, i think that it is heavily in the favour of delay.

Yes, it is a very big call, clive, think is a very big call, clive, think ministers are sounding a bit more cautious about the complete lifting of restrictions OnJune 21st. No decision has been made and there are competing arguments being put, as we have heard, there are scientists who advice the government who are now saying publicly that it makes sense to wait a bit, until more people are double jabbeden, untilthe to wait a bit, until more people are double jabbeden, until the new variant is better understood, but businesses are desperate to see the economy re open fully and today the British Chambers Of Commerce said it would be astounding if TheJune 21st Deadline slipped and i think that a view shared by a sizeable chunk of tory mps. The row we are beginning to hear is going to get louder as we head tojune 14th, to hear is going to get louder as we head tojune14th, the dates ministers will make the call that. Is when they will decide whether they are going to pursue that 21st June re opening. Now this is a very big call. Ministers do not want to go back, they say this must be irreversible and there has been plenty of criticism about its covid strategy, from Dominic Cummings saying that a catalogue of lethal mistakes were made over the last year, to labour criticising the government� s Borders Policy which they said let The Indian Variant in in the first place, So Borisjohnson looks at the data, he has a very big Judgment Call to make. 0k. Ben, thank you. Ben wright there, live at westminster. The latest Government Figures show there were 3,383 new Coronavirus Infections and one death, in the latest 24 hour period. On average, the number of new cases reported per day in the last week was 3,345. More than 120,000 people received their first dose of a vaccine in the last 24 hours, taking the Overrall Total to more than 39. 3 million people who� ve had a single jab. That� s 74. 8 of the uk� s adult population. More than 204,000 people had their second Vaccine Dose in the latest 24 hour period, which means more than 25. 5 million have now had two jabs, a little under half of all adults.

He can� t move elsewhere as he� s no savings and a plummeting credit rating. A Catch 22 that many tenants are currently facing. Michael buchanan, Bbc News, essex. Officials in nigeria say 11 children who were part of a group of students kidnapped on sunday have been released because they were too young to walk. About 200 pupils attend the islamic school in tegina in niger state, but it� s unclear how many were abducted. Kidnappings for ransom by criminal gangs have become more common across the country, in recent months. A former head of the cia has told the bbc, he has No Doubts there� s an urgenT Need for tighter controls of biological laboratories around the world, to prevent another pandemic, similar to covid 19. General david petraeus, says World Leaders need to address the issue, at next month� s G7 Summit in cornwall. With more, here� s our world affairs editor, john simpson. We don� T Need reminding nowadays what a lethal and highly contagious virus can do to our world. Within weeks of its appearance in the chinese city of wuhan, covid 19 had spread to almost everywhere on earth. Covid and other dangerous viruses are studied here at porton down, britain� s top secret centre for biological and chemical research. There are 50 or so top level labs like this around the world, all of them tightly controlled. But there� s another lesser category of scientific laboratories right round the world which also deal with dangerous pathogens and diseases. There are literally thousands of them so many that the international agencies simply can� t keep a proper eye on them. Hamish De Bretton Gordon is one of the top international experts on chemical and biological warfare. I met him in northern iraq several years ago. He stresses that most of the world� s unregulated biological laboratories are probably above board. But unfortunately there are people who want to do us harm out there, and at the moment i think these laboratories are a bit of an open goal. And covid, the pandemic, has really been a sort of Neon Advert to every terrorist, despot, Rogue State and bad actor, that this is something that they can use to really create the terror they desire. General david petraeus, who was the commander of us forces in iraq and then a head of the cia, believes strongly that the g7 should press for greater international control over the world� s biological laboratories. Virtually any american president would want to support an initiative like this. This is certainly something that the 67 could discuss in their upcoming summit meeting. The leaders of the world would have to take this forward. And again its hard for me to believe that there are any leaders out there other than some very rogue nations who would not sign up to a convention. But there� s No Doubt in your mind that this is a serious threat . 0h, theres No Doubt about that. There hasn� t been particularly strong control of biological research because it never seemed especially worrying. Then covid happened. Hence the calls to make sure there aren� t any more covids.

It� s the Worst Massacre In Black American History, exactly 100 years ago today, yet the slaughter of up to 300 African Americans In Tulsa, oklahoma in 1921, wasn� t taught in local schools until just 20 years ago. Sparked by claims of an assault by a black man on a white teenager, a white mob rampaged through the affluent Greenwood Area of the city shooting, burning and looting. A handful of survivors who lost everything are still waiting for compensation. This report from gary 0� donoghue, contains some images you may find distressing. Before the destruction they called it black wall street. But injust 18 hours a murderous white mob had razed a thriving Black Community to the ground making 10,000 people homeless with up to 300 black lives lost. Few dispute that it was the worst single act of racial violence in the history of the united states. I will never forget the violence of the white mob when we left our home. I still see black men being shot, black bodies lying in the street. I still smell smoke and see fire. Because of the massacre my family were driven out of our home. We were left with nothing. So here is the Basement Room where people hid in. And how many do you think came down here . At least a few hundred. Robert turner is the reverend at the vernon ame church. It was one of several burned to the ground during the massacre. The church was rebuilt with parishioners� money as the insurers refused to pay out. After the massacre there was this movement by the white community to not ever talk about it because they knew they had gotten away with murder. They didn� t want to ever bring it up and any of the black people who brought it up, they were either killed, or run out of town or intimidated into silence. Not a single person was prosecuted for the murders, for the looting or for the arson. Not one black family received a penny in compensation. It would take 75 years for there to be any official recognition that a massacre had taken place at all. While tulsa unites to mark the massacre, there are divisions. That has meant the cancellation of a major concert, the survivors at odds with the city over who should pay them reparations. The centennial is not about concerts, its not about speeches, its not about interviews. It is about focusing on the people that were harmed, and doing everything in our power to make sure those people receive justice, respect and reparations. But while the survivors continue their fight for compensation, some among the younger generation are finding the historyjust too much to cope with. It is so painful that i can� t even live in this city. I just can� t. But i have since moved to atlanta, georgia, which i consider to be, you know, The New Black wall street. When the president comes to Tulsa Tomorrow he will yet again address a shameful episode in the country� s history. And with the murder of George Floyd still uppermost, many will wonder just how much has really changed in america over the past 100 years. Gary 0� donoghue, Bbc News, tulsa. Now here� s something you don� t hear very often. This Bank Holiday has been hot, very hot, in fact the hottest day of the year so far in some parts of the uk.

Things have been quite tough, haven� t they, very tough for a lot of people, so, yes, it is a relief, and it� s good to, you know see so many people out enjoying themselves as well. It� s wonderful. As the mostly unmasked crowds grew, the locals withdrew. I� m pleased we have no reason to go into town or use public transport today, because it� s just incredibly crowded. For the thousands of visitors filling the streets of brighton, it� s a glorious Bank Holiday, almost back to normal. That� s not the case for the brighton residents, who are worried that covid could be creeping back this way. Many were busy queueing for vaccines.
