From milwaukee ended up choosing the wrong house to take an impromptu nap. Hello, im Katty Kay in washington. David eades is in london. The Wealth Gap between Black And White Americans is shocking. On average, white families are a lot ricHer than black families. Joe biden wants to close that gap. In tulsa, oklahoma, he will announce new measures. Its the site of the deadliest Race Massacre in american history. A white mob Killed Hundreds Of Black residents, razed 35 City Blocks to the ground and wiped out thriving businesses. In a few minutes, President Biden will remember the victims of that massacre, and also unveil new efforts by his administration to combat the economic inequality that still exists today. The commitments include a 10 Billion Community Revitalisation Fund to target economically under served communities 15 Billion in competitive grants for neighbourhoods cut off from investment, and also to use the federal governments immense Purchasing Power to sign more Government Contracts With smaller, often minority owned businesses. The focus on black businesses is particularly significant, given tulsas history. This 3d Model by the New York Times shows the kinds of businesses that were destroyed during a racially motivated massacre in 1921. The local drug store, barber shop, billiards hall, newspaper office, Grocery Store All Black owned, all burned to the ground. Andre perry is a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and joins us now from new orleans. Think you very much forjoining us.

We are over indexed African Americans in the us.

Whats interesting is how different the interesting is how different the perceptions are between White Americans and black americans when it comes to this. Let me show you sadistic that shows that gap between perceptions and reality show you a statistic. When when pollsters asked americans what they thought the difference in wealth is between white and black families, most people guessed that for every 100 in wealth belonging to white families, black families would have around 90. The truth is the Wealth Gap is much wider. For every 100 in net wealth belonging to white families in america, a black family has just 13 net wealth. Thatis that is an enormous difference, not just in the reality, but in the perception. Is tHere an Education Problem in this country .

Its interesting what Andre Perry i its interesting what Andre Perry was saying tHere. My kids went to American Public Schools and learned about the civil rights movement. I dont remember them Coming Home and talking about the tulsa massacres, and i think thats because it wasnt really taught in schools. It certainly wasnt hot in my generations, norwas certainly wasnt hot in my generations, nor was it taught that those businesses got in the form of computational reputations wasnt taught. They got nothing back after that massacre. It will be interesting to hear what President Biden has to say. The vietnamese government is taking swift action to counter a surge in covid cases after finding a new variant. The new strain is thought to be highly infectious and is causing concern among virologists. According to data from johns hopkins university, almost half of all of vietnams 7,432 confirmed infections have come in the past month alone. At the weekend, the Health Minister warned of a new very dangerous hybrid variant. The government says it combines features from The Indian and uk mutations. Its thought to be easily transmissible by air. From today, The International Airport In Hanoi is suspending inbound flights from abroad. Like many otHer countries in the asia pacific region, vietnam has struggled to obtain vaccines. Just 1 of the population has been Vaccinated so far. For more, werejoined now by doctor payal patel, an infectious Disease Physician at the michigan school of medicine. Doctor patel, thanks forjoining us. These are two variants, i think the who will have a say. The delta and also variants. Considerable anxiety for good reason for an awful lot of people. How worried should we be . How concerned are you about this apparent melding of the two . Yeah, its a treat apparent melding of the two . Yeah, its a great question. Apparent melding of the two . Yeah, its a great question. Vietnam apparent melding of the two . Yeah, its a great question. Vietnam has i its a great question. Vietnam has actually its a great question. Vietnam has actually done a great job its a great question. Vietnam has actually done a greatjob in its a great question. Vietnam has actually done a great job in terms of public actually done a great job in terms of Public Health and keeping infections down, but what were feeling infections down, but what were feeling now is that 95 to 99 of people feeling now is that 95 to 99 of people in feeling now is that 95 to 99 of people in vietnam are unVaccinated. So, they people in vietnam are unVaccinated. So, they will people in vietnam are unVaccinated. So, they will be the ones that are at risk so, they will be the ones that are at risk With so, they will be the ones that are at risk With something like a variant at risk With something like a variant. One thing i want to reassure variant. One thing i want to reassure the watcHers of this programme, we know right now in every programme, we know right now in every country that vaccines are really every country that vaccines are really holding up to the variants, so its really holding up to the variants, so its really again as to how quickly so its really again as to how quickly countries can vaccinate their quickly countries can vaccinate their citizens. Quickly countries can vaccinate their citizens. ,. , their citizens. Then it comes down to to vaccination, their citizens. Then it comes down to to vaccination, vietnam their citizens. Then it comes down | to to vaccination, vietnam hanging around 1 of vaccination. By the get the feature of a lot of South East asia, very low vaccination rates, which can all be put down eitHer just to supply and demand, can it . Thats right. I think tHeres a number thats right. I think tHeres a number of thats right. I think tHeres a number of factors involved. Some of it is the number of factors involved. Some of it is the public Health Roll out, how it is the public Health Roll out, how quickly are vaccines out into rural how quickly are vaccines out into rural areas how quickly are vaccines out into rural areas and our companies getting rural areas and our companies getting involved . We know some of these getting involved . We know some of these outbreaks have been in places wHere these outbreaks have been in places wHere people work very closely next to each wHere people work very closely next to Her'>Each OtHer, and we know a year later, to Her'>Each OtHer, and we know a year later, we to Her'>Each OtHer, and we know a year later, we all to Her'>Each OtHer, and we know a year later, we all know its very hard to wear later, we all know its very hard to wear masks~ later, we all know its very hard to wear masks. We would imagine it would wear masks. We would imagine it would be wear masks. We would imagine it would be in wear masks. We would imagine it would be in a country wHere everyone is still would be in a country wHere everyone is still unVaccinated as people break is still unVaccinated as people break down some of those Public Health barriers, break down some of those Public Health barriers, its going be easier Public Health barriers, its going be easier and easier for a variant to infect be easier and easier for a variant to infect people who are unVaccinated. But if you are Vaccinated, we know so far the variants Vaccinated, we know so far the variants have not been able to break through variants have not been able to break through most of vaccines, so you should through most of vaccines, so you should be through most of vaccines, so you should be comforted if you are Vaccinated. Hi, should be comforted if you are Vaccinated. Should be comforted if you are Vaccinated. ,. , Vaccinated. Hi, doctor patel. This mornin i Vaccinated. Hi, doctor patel. This morning i had Vaccinated. Hi, doctor patel. This morning i had a Vaccinated. Hi, doctor patel. This morning i had a conversation Vaccinated. Hi, doctor patel. This| morning i had a conversation With scott gottlieb, former head of the fda, and he was expressing some concern about the fact that i didnt realise, viruses can change when two mutations get togetHer, something unexpected could happen. That might be why we would look at whats happening in vietnam and their announcement With some concern because so far, weve done a pretty good job. The vaccines have risen resisted the new variants, but is tHere something about the two variants getting togetHer that could cause something to happen to the virus that might be unexpected . You know, it is possible and as we were learning know, it is possible and as we were learning more about the different variants learning more about the different variants in learning more about the different variants in the last few months, we werent variants in the last few months, we werent sure variants in the last few months, we werent sure how well the vaccines were werent sure how well the vaccines were going werent sure how well the vaccines were going to hold up. But so far, so good were going to hold up. But so far, so good so. Were going to hold up. But so far, so good. So, the quicker people are Vaccinated. So good. So, the quicker people are Vaccinated, the lex likely the virus is able Vaccinated, the lex likely the virus is able to Vaccinated, the lex likely the virus is able to continue to mutate less is able to continue to mutate less likely is able to continue to mutate less likely. It continues to be a race less likely. It continues to be a race and less likely.

For the first time in 15 months, the uk has announced no new coronavirus deaths recorded Within 28 days of a positive test. But some experts still want plans to remove Lockdown Restrictions in England Onjune 21st to be postponed. Hugh pym reports. With lives lost and relatives left to grieve, the pandemic has taken a terrible toll. Many families have been unable to sit With Loved Ones in theirfinal hours in hospital. But after more than 1,700 covid deaths reported daily at one stage, today, not one has been reported. But the Virus Hasnt gone away. In scotland, the easing of restrictions planned for next monday has been paused in some areas due to rising case rates, ministers and officials are studying the data to see how rapidly The Indian variant is spreading, With speculation that the Lockdown Easing Plan Forjune the 21st in england may be delayed. THeres still much uncertainty about the future. What is certain is that for a number of reasons, including the success of the Vaccination Programme, no deaths have been reported for one day, at least. A five month old boy from london has become one of the first children to be treated With a ground breaking new Herapy'>Gene THerapy after it was made available on the national Health Service Here in england. At a cost of two and a half million dollars per patient, solgensma is the worlds most expensive drug and can increase Life Expectancy by several years. Our medical Editor Fergus Walsh explains. This is the worlds most expensive medicine. The List Price of zolgensma is almost £1. 8 million though the nhs has negotiated a confidential discount, which will enable dozens of affected infants to be treated each year. Five month Old Arthur is one of the first to benefit. He has spinal muscular Atrophy Sma a genetic condition which causes progressive muscle weakness. Without treatment, those affected rarely live beyond the age of two. Arthur is unable to lift his head, and struggles to move his arms and legs, but this single infusion should prevent furtHer loss of nerve cells. Its been massive, massive ups and downs, but being able to now have the treatment is just going to be a Game Changerfor us and give arthur the best possible life he could have. Around one in every 10,000 babies is born With spinal muscular atrophy. What is remarkable is this one off treatment may permanently stop any furtHer decline in arthurs muscle function. So, how does Zolgensma Work . It contains a healthy copy of a missing or faulty gene called smn1. This is inserted into a harmless virus. In the body, the virus delivers the Replacement Gene into the nucleus of Motor Neuron cells. This is essential to prevent those cells from gradually dying. The now healthy Motor Neuron cells start producing the missing smn protein, which is vital for muscle function. Hows arthur . Evelina Childrens Hospital in london is one of a handful of centres in the uk which will offer this ground breaking Herapy'>Gene THerapy. 20 years ago, a baby born With a severe form of sma would have a very shortened Life Expectancy. We can now offer treatment that can really alter the outlook for these children. Some otHer infants treated With zolgensma have seen their Condition Notjust stabilise, but improve. Arthurs parents say they know its not a cure, and theyre simply delighted that hes being treated. Fergus walsh, Bbc News. Amazing. A medical breakthrough. Until recently, putting forward your own theories about ufos at a Dinner Party would leave you With polite nods and not so discrete eye rolls, and chances are, the hosts wouldnt invite you back. But change is afoot Here in america, wHere tHere is a growing bipartisan consensus that they are worthy of furtHer study. Any day now, the pentagon is due to deliver an unclassified report to congress, setting out exactly what the us government knows about ufos. Early spoiler tHere are big gaps in the knowledge. Last year, the Defence Department released a series of classified videos appearing to show an Unidentified Flying Object off the coast of california in 2015. My gosh were going against the wind. But if you were hoping the report will have a series of neat, easily digestible explanations, youll be disappointed. Former national Intelligence Directorjohn Ratcliffe has already said that the paper would include information that cannot easily be explained, which No Doubt ratchets up the intrigue. Dr Adam Frank is a professor of astrophysics at the university of rochester. He and his colleagues were recently awarded a Nasa Grant to study signs of intelligent life elsewHere in the universe.

Going in for a snooze to snooze off his boots. A snooze off his booze. It couldve been of my sons. Hello tHere. The sun was out across much of the country today, and for the first day of meteorological summer, it did feel very warm in The Sunshine. Highest temperatures were around lancashire. Little bit higHer than they were yesterday, close to 26 degrees. But we still had a breeze off the North Sea, and that brought some misty weatHer for the North East of england into Eastern Scotland, mainly for coastal areas, and that mist and low cloud is working its way northwards into Eastern Scotland up towards the nortHern isles. That low cloud will move its way into the central belt perhaps overnight. By The End of the night, were getting a few showers towards the far South West of england and into the Channel Islands. For many, though, tonight will be dry, clear and quite warm as well. But some Changes Tomorrow because these showers are going to be arriving quickly into the South West of england, could be heavy and thundery. Theyll move slowly northwards into wales and now across the west country, to hampshire and perhaps even in towards the London Area by The End of the afternoon. Now, ahead of that, tHerell be some sunshine for many and some warmth. 26, even 27 degrees on wednesday. But its going to be cooler around coastal areas of Eastern Scotland and the North East of england With a stronger wind and still some of that mist and low cloud that will move its way back inland again during the evening. At the same time, those showers, still potentially heavy and thundery, work their way furtHer into the midlands, up towards North West England and into Hern-ireland'>NortHern Ireland. All on that Her-front'>WeatHer Front tHere. That will continue to drive its way northwards overnight. Were still left With some showers across Hern-england'>NortHern England, perhaps moving into scotland during thursday. The showers do become lighter, mind you, and to the south across much of england and wales and Hern-ireland'>NortHern Ireland, after a fairly cloudy start, it should brighten up and well get some more sunshine as well. Now, its not going to be as warm on thursday, but still a pleasantly warm Summers Day across the South East of England And East anglia. Its Here well see the highest temperatures. But in the evening, we may well start to introduce a few of these heavy, perhaps thundery showers across soutHern parts of england, developing in the midlands, across Eastern Parts of england, eventually early on Friday Morning clipping Eastern Scotland. Those will clear away during friday, and then we get more sunshine following on behind. Although for the western side of the uk, perhaps more cloud, a bit more breeze. Those temperatures will be lower than they are today, but nearer normal for this time of year. And were probably going to keep those sort of temperatures as we head into the weekend as well. For many parts of the country, the weekend looks like it will be fine and dry With a top temperature of 21 22 celsius.

The organisers of the biggest tournaments in Tennis Promise � meaningful improvements after Withdrawal'>Naomi Osakas Withdrawal from the French Open. Also in the programme.

Plus, how a teenager in california fought off a bear. With Her bare hands. Brave, sure. But no thanks. Naomi Osakas Decision to pull out of the French Open 24 hours ago after refusing to give Media Interviews tHere sent Shock Waves through the sport. And it now looks Her decision could lead to some real changes in whats expected of players in competition. The four biggest tournaments in tennis The Grand slams have just promised to � create meaningful improvements to assist the players and their welfare. The Paris Tournament continues but roland garros is now Without one of the sports biggest stars, and despite osakas desire to not be a distraction she and the issues she raises are firmly in the spotlight. Our Sports Correspondent Katie Gornall reports. Naomi osaka is one of Her sports biggest and most marketable stars, and yet all the talk in tennis has been about Her not talking. Last week, she said she wouldnt speak to the media at the French Open to protect Her Mental Health. And then, 24 hours after winning Herfirst match, pulled out of the tournament altogetHer, posting this on twitter. She said. Osaka revealed shed suffered long bouts of depression since winning the us open three years ago and gets huge waves of anxiety before speaking to the worlds media. Now she says shell take some time away from the court. As much as it can be difficult and challenging at times, and ive experienced that myself, its part of the job. To have not been able to reach any sort of conclusion With the organisers and be able to move forward because of the press commitments is, you know. It sent Shock Waves through the sport. All of the thoughts go to Her and make sure that shes looking after Her Mental Health, which its good thats what shes doing. As the tournament continued today Without the World Number two, players in paris offered their support. I feel for naomi. I feel like i wish i could give Her a hug because i know what its like. Like i said, ive been in those positions. You know, you just have to let Her handle it the way she wants to, in the best way that she thinks she can. Osaka can be engaging and outspoken, but Her refusal to talk on this occasion has come at a cost. The 23 year old was fined by the Tennis Authorities and threatened With expulsion for failing to fulfil Her contractual duties. Following Her Withdrawal, the head of the french Tennis Federation had this to say. We are sorry and sad for Naomi Osaka. The outcome of naomi Withdrawing from roland garros is unfortunate. He then left Without taking questions. It was left to otHers to ask if lessons could be learned. Because Of Covid, you know, the landscapes changed somewhat. So, i think perhaps we need to look at psychological assessments before Grand Slams. And were only on the second Grand Slam of the year Here, and clearly top players are suffering and are feeling very vulnerable. Osaka has put no timeframe on Her return, but the issues are delicate and complicated as the sport now tries to find a way forward With one of its greatest players. Katie gornall, Bbc News. We can speak to two authors now With insights into what might happen next matt rogans book all to play for.

Is this an example of precisely that, the power of sport to make a difference . In this Case Player Power or perhaps more of a calculated recognition in this case from Roland Garris that they probably got it wrong when they pushed hard on saying youll take a fine and youll take your medicine. I think ultimately, tHeres been an acknowledgement through several sides of acknowledgement through several sides of theirs that may be the initial sides of theirs that may be the initial remarks were slightly too strident initial remarks were slightly too strident. Ultimately, weve seen some strident. Ultimately, weve seen some Player Power from Naomi Osaka in particular some Player Power from Naomi Osaka in particular With the belligerence of Her in particular With the belligerence of Her initial statement which we saw match of Her initial statement which we saw match With a fairly belligerent statement from The Grand slams. Professional sport needs successful athletes Professional Sport needs successful athletes playing at successful tournaments, well represented through tournaments, well represented through media that reaches millions. And tHerefore the only real solution is that and tHerefore the only real solution is that everyone steps back from a little is that everyone steps back from a little bit is that everyone steps back from a little bit and tries to find a way of redefining relationships between those of redefining relationships between those three parties in a very new world those three parties in a very new world in those three parties in a very new world in which we are now living in.

One of the most heartbreaking consequences of war is its impact on children and in syria, the lives and futures of a whole generation have been badly hit. Its now more than ten years since syria descended into civil war, and the conflict, which is still ongoing, has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Its also seen millions more displaced inside syria or forced to flee, seeking safety as refugees in neighbouring countries. Our correspondent Caroline Hawley reports from jordan wHere shes been back, to meet again, children whove already paid a very heavy price. Mustapha and his Little Sister survived a Bombing Raid by the syrian regime seven years ago. Both their parents were killed in the explosion that nearly took his life too. Mustapha broke both his hips and still has shrapnel in his brain which doctors have told him they cant remove. We first met mustapha when he was five. Over the years, the one thing that has never changed is his irrepressible smile. Right now, mustapha has good reason to be happy. He and his Sister And Grandma are about to be given a new home on the otHer side of the world. Its time for the last play With his cousins before he goes. As always, he does his best to keep up but his injuries seem to affect him more than when we saw him last. His grandmotHer has looked after him for the last few years as if she was his own mum. She is frail now and can barely walk. For Her, it wont be an easy move. But in the final hours before their departure when the children are too excited to get to sleep, tHere is a last minute hitch. So they should actually be in the air right now but when you are a refugee you dont have much control over events and tHere has been some kind of delay. The bureaucratic bungle means it will be weeks at least before he can fly. Rahaf and mustapha dont know Her'>Each OtHer but they would recognise Her'>Each OtHer� s pain. When she was three, Her home in syria was hit by government Shelling Setting Her bedclothes on fire. Her sister ammas burns were more severe. In 2012 we filmed amma having surgery on Herface. She had so many operations over the years, so many surgical procedures, Herfamily have literally lost count. Rahaf Herself has had 12, one for every year of Her life, but nothing she has been through can match the agony of losing Her sister who was also Her best friend. This was the last photo taken of amma before she got ill last year With an infection Her body couldnt fight. Rahaf is getting ready to visit Her sisters grave. When i first met them, neitHer girl would look at themselves in the mirror but both had grown hugely in Self Confidence before amma died. A casualty of serious conflict, years after the rocket fell. Her family took Her from doctor to doctor to try to save Her and after all that she had been through and survived, Theyjust Cant believe that now she is gone. The long reach of syrias war. For mustapha tHere is still a new life in australia to look forward to, but that small piece of shrapnel buried in his brain that causes so much trouble will be With him wHerever he goes. Children living With the consequences of war, literally living With the consequences of war. Deepin living With the consequences of war. Deep in the bodies in some cases.

Normally economists worry about unemployment too many people chasing too few jobs. But this year the worry in america is something different. The perfect reverse in fact. Too manyjobs and not enough people willing to do them. A Labour Shortage. Thats the view of the us Chamber Of Commerce. Today the Business Body is calling the 8. 1 million current usjob vacancies an � urgent crisis� and says the lack of available workers could choke the economic recovery. The Labour Shortage isn� t a new issue it� s been getting more acute for years. Apart from a blip during the pandemic the ratio of available workers for everyjob has been declining steadily to nowjust1. 4job seekers for every opening. Good for workers. Not so good for employers, especially those in the Hospitality Industry that have been Hit Hard by covid.

Here the uk With the domino� s restaurant crying out for 5000 employees. I think the Hospitality Industry is finding it extremely difficult to fill all those jobs. Especially given, i suppose if you multiply carpet did not covid by a bit of brexit and all those people not Here and not able to travel you can understand why it� s such a squeeze. It makes it complicated. THere is no stronger bond than the one between a dog and its owner. And that loyalty was on full display this week in soutHern california when upon spotting Her Pet Dogs in a standoff With a black bear, one 17 year old did the exact opposite of what most people would do in the situation. She ran in to save Her pets. Look at the pictures they are. She rushed to the safety in Her backyard. Goes at the bear, knocks him over the back of the wall. And then charges are, gets the dog. I should say experts advise you do not confront a bear. I would say caddie you do not confront Haley Or Mess around With Her dogs eitHer. Goodness me. No, clearly not. Can you imagine the shock . You look out your backyard and suddenly tHere is this bear. Also that they are balanced on a tiny little Thing Wall Padding at the dogs, i was quite impressed With that. You are right. Do the dogs, i was quite impressed With that. You are right. That. You are right. Do not mess With haley that. You are right. Do not mess With haley do that. You are right. Do not mess With haley. Do not that. You are right. Do not mess With haley. Do not mess that. You are right. Do not mess With haley. Do not mess With. That. You are right. Do not mess With haley. Do not mess With haley. And i� m beginning to think i� m in the pictures are amazing but i wonder if she� s actually become ratHer familiar With said bear coming to pester Her dogs. She does exactly the score. Exactly the score. While, we need a little bit of investigation. Exactly the score. While, we need a little bit of investigation. That little bit of investigation. That had not occurred to me. I thought wow, that is one cool customer responding to a bear. Give me a moment to think about that. I love charlie my very much. I would like to think i would run into the yard if tHere was a bear tHere. I think it is what everybody tells you not to do. Hello tHere. We saw temperatures continue to rise in The Sunshine getting close to 26 degrees in lancashire for example. We are starting to see some changes coming in from the southwest actually. We� ve got lowering pressure and a Her-front'>WeatHer Front bringing more cloud into the far southwest of england and the Channel Islands by the morning. And those clouds will bring in some showers. They could be heavy and thundery and they will drift their way northwards across Southwest England into wales, across Southwest England into wales, across hampshire towards the midlands as well. Perhaps even towards the London Area by The End of the afternoon. Head of that low temperatures could reach 26 or 27 degrees but With a more noticeable wind up the North Sea it will be cooler and cloudier along the East Coast of ccckkk inward. Showers still have a potentially thundery into the evening as they continue to push away northwards up towards Hern-ireland'>NortHern Ireland and into the northwest of england. Those showers on that Her-front'>WeatHer Front driven by that area of low pressure. We are seeing area of low pressure. We are seeing a change With more shower did not carry eric up north showers tend to ease down on thursday and we� ve got to spend a cloud remaining showers moving away from Hern-england'>NortHern England heading into scotland. To the south of that ratHer more cloudy we should see sunshine developing in many areas. It will be quite as warm this era. Stilla areas. It will be quite as warm this era. Still a very pleasant Summer Day though across the southeast in England And East anglia wHere we receive the highest of the temperatures as you move from thursday into friday we are looking at the potential for some thursday into friday we are looking at the potentialfor some more heavy, perhaps thundery showers to come up continental europe. Spilling it across the midlands, east of england by Friday Morning perhaps edging into the far east of scotland before moving out into the nortHern say. THere� ll be a hit or miss and we� ve got sunny skies falling on behind that. The breeze picking up and introducing more cloud as well. Temperatures in belfast 17 degrees, london 23. Does temperature starting rate just a little bit. London 23. Does temperature starting ratejust a little bit. Things london 23. Does temperature starting rate just a little bit. Things will be warmer really for this time of year. As we head into the weekend we saw the car coming in to Hern-ireland'>NortHern Ireland. Actually coming in on that Her-front'>WeatHer Front bear which is going to stall really during saturday and bring some cloud in outbreaks into nortHern island perhaps western parts of scotland as well. Not moving very farjust get a little wave on that front itself. For many Eastern Scotland still dry will be some sunshine and its temperatures widely into the low 20s. Second half of the weekend we start to see that Her-front'>WeatHer Front moving its way steadily eastwards into more of the uk. At the same time it� s really going to be weakening because moving into an area of higHer pressure. We got more cloud coming in eastwards a Car Scotland into nortHern and western parts of england togetHer With wales. It� s in these areas that we could see a few showers. Drying off the nortHern island western scotland some sunshine, still parts of eastern england wHere we got the highest of the temperatures. Looking beyond that, the Her-front'>WeatHer Front is stuck early into next week across the heart of the uk. Could bring up a few showers around but not very many. High pressure is built tHere may be atlantic Influence Northwest of the uk, we quit the transit time, tHere are plenty of heavy showers nearby every continental europe. Those should stay clear. Two things to take note if you look at the City Forecast Here temperatures will be climbing as we head furtHer into next week. Generally it� s going to be dry and fine With very few showers. Tonight at ten for the first time since the pandemic struck, no covid deaths recorded in the uk today, but experts say we� re still in a vulnerable position. As things stand, cases are now on the rise again, linked to the Coronavirus Variant first identified in india. As the Vaccination Programme forges ahead, some experts are concerned about lifting all restrictions in England Onjune 21st. We� ve still got a lot of people out tHere who have neitHer had the Virus Infection nor yet been immunised and that is why we are in a vulnerable position right now. And we� ll have the latest from scotland wHere the easing of restrictions has been delayed in large parts of the country. Also tonight. The race for more space as the Housing Market is booming in many areas but at what cost
