Going to take it off either. And how a promise made more than 70 years ago has finally been fulfilled good Afternoon And Welcome to the programme. The Uk Medicines regulator has approved the extention of the Szier Biontech Vaccine for use in children as young as 12. The mhra said it carried out a � rigorous review� of the vaccine in adolescents between 12 and 15 saying the benefits outweigh the risks. The Uks Vaccine Committee will now decide on whether to advise the government that this Age Group should be vaccinated as part of The Uk rollout. Heres our Health Correspondent Catherine burns. America has been doing it for a month. Just got the shot a few minutes ago. This is the best way to go about things. And now, The Uk is one step closer to vaccinating older children. The regulator, the mhra, has authorised the Pfizer Vaccine for 12 to is year olds. It says this is safe and effective. But the roll out will only be extended to younger teenagers if Thejoint Committe on vaccination and immunisation advises the government to do this. Right now, much of the focus here, though, is on a rise in Case Numbers. At the peak injanuary, figures from the Office For National Statistics suggested that one in 50 people across The Uk would have tested positive. But those numbers fell steadily. By the start of may, it was down to one in 1,375. But now it has gone up to one in 660 people. This has been driven partly by an increase in cases of the variant first identified in india, known as delta. A lot of that has focused on places with high rates like blackburn and bolton. But now, public Health England says the Delta Variant is the most widespread across The Uk. The big question, though, is, what does this mean for the next step along the roadmap to reopening in england . There isnT Anything yet in the data to say that we are definitively off track, but it is too early to make the decision about 21stjune. He says yet, because theres still so much uncertainty. We know this variant spreads more quickly, but were not sure exactly how fast. Scientists think it could make people more likely to need a hospital stay, but theyre not certain. We know at the moment that the Delta Variant, The Indian Variant, is doubling across the country about every nine days, with some variability from place to place, but we havent fully seen the effect of what happened from 17th may, step three, the relaxation of restrictions, coming through into that data, so we expect that to accelerate even more. Ministers will update people in ten days time. Data they get over that period will be key to what the start of the summer will look like. 0ur Health Correspondent Jim Reed is here whats the thinking behind extending the vaccination to 12 15 years olds . There the vaccination to 12 15 years olds . Are two Possib Wa Nt there are two possible reasons to want to vaccinate children, one is to protect them from serious illness and all the data shows that children are at a very low risk of serious illness from covid but not at a zero risk so i was looking at figures from america earlier, if you compare 517 from america earlier, if you compare 5 17 Year Olds with someone in their 30s children are about half as likely to get infected, ten times less likely to go to hospital with covid. That is a lot less of a risk but it is not digital to that is one reason to do it, the other is more important possibly, scientists and ministers are thinking is to reduce the possible risk of transmission, the possible risk of transmission, the idea that you could have children within schools spreading the virus, taking It Home and to the community. The data on that is actually fairly difficult to read, most of it suggests it can be picked up most of it suggests it can be picked up in schools and spread but children are not a significant drier of thiS Decision. These are the kind of thiS Decision. These are the kind of aspects and data that ministers are thinking about, when they come to that decision about whether to roll out out to that younger Age Group. We will await that decision, one other thing, the R Number, something we used to reports or often, less so given the Vaccine Roll but that is more news on that. The R Number measure so many People Someone infected with the virus is likely to pass it on to. If that number is higher than one it means that overall cases are likely to rise, as it is lower than one it means the pandemic infections and reducing across the Community And Today the latest figure for england is between one and 1. 2, scientists think a slight rise from last week. Also Nicola Sturgeon talking about the number in scotland is above one, pointing to a wider picture about the pandemic slightly growing in The Uk but not growing very quickly not yet. Thank you. Portugal and members of the Travel Industry have reacted angrily to the Governments Decision to remove the country from the green travel list. Ministers say they know holidaymakers may be disappointed, but theyre concerned about a new Covid Variant linked to nepal. Holiday makers in portugal now face a race against time to book Covid Tests and flights home to beat the mandatory Quarantine Period that will come into force next Tuesday And British Airways are putting on extra flights to get tourists back to england. Our Business Correspondent Katy austin reports. Today, the news that portugal is heading off the green list was sinking in. It meant a sudden change of plan for some travellers. We didnt want to cancel our holiday so last year two of our holidays got cancelled so we were really looking forward to this one, as soon it got put on the green list, booked it, and then yesterday we found out it was amber. Got the kids in the car, just waiting for a test. Simon and his family are in the algarve visiting their villa. He is desperately searching for a Covid Test Appointment so that they can fly home early tomorrow. Weve got to get back before tuesday so that i donT Quarantine for ten days. I run my own business so i need to get back and ive got meetings et cetera. For many businesses in portugal, Yesterdays News was a huge disappointment. ThiS Decision will cost me a lot of money, because we have took the decision because of this Travel Possibilities to portugal in june for The Uk customers, we reopened hotels, we have already some cancellations during Yesterday And Today in the morning, but i believe more will come. No new countries were added to the green list yesterday. Portugal left that category and became amber with a requirement to self isolate at home for ten days upon return. Its not illegal to travel to these places but the governments told people not to go to them on holiday. Seven more countries were added to the highest risk red list, which means returning Uk Residents must pay to quarantine in an approved hotel. The government said Portugals Change of status was necessary. We saw a very significant rise in positivity in recent weeks, in fact it has doubled in portugal in three weeks since the last review point, to take it to a much higher level than we see here in The Uk. Weve also seen a further mutation emerge, become prevalent, within portugal. But there has been outcry from the Travel Industry, already reeling from more than a year of restrictions, ryanair condemned the decision and questioned its scientific basis. The feedback is that most of them are still going to travel, most of them have already been vaccinated, and if they have to comply with the quarantine on the way back, i think they will, but a lot of the Customer Feedback we had last night is that they are going for two or three weeks to portugal and they believe that portugal will be back on the green list by the time they return. British airways and easyjet have put on extra seats to help brits get home ahead of a change that has taken both businesses and passengers by surprise. Katy austin, Bbc News. Lets speak to our Lisbon Correspondent alison roberts. Alison, what has been the response there . At Lisbon Airport this morning there were people who had scrambled to rebook flights and the test they needed to take in order to go home and avoid quarantine even on the green list. That was difficult for some people, they had to come to the airport where they were expecting not to have to do so for another day because they need to wait for the result and give a overs to do that and meantime the authorities very concerned about this, hotels are seeing many cancellations and as was mentioned some hotels only decided to open at the Start Ofjune because of the reopening of travel from The Uk. Some Public Health officials he had said it could be a storm in a teacup, because they point out the mutation of the so called indian variant no cold delta there are only 12 cases of that and in terms of The Indian Variant in general were compared with The Uk for that is 87 , here it is under 5 so they are saying perhaps this was over caution on the part of The Uk and not a reason for people here to panic as far as variants are concerned. We have had some strong statements from officials in portugal. Yes, the portuguese foreign Ministry Yesterday tweeted saying it could not understand the logic of thiS Decision and that was on the basis of what i said that the government has been watching closely developments of cases and the number of lesser parties on the Government Watch List has been steadily going down, municipalities, only five with two Lockdown Restrictions in place, one is lisbon, the largest city, that may have been a factor in the Uk Government decision but the government here has been looking ahead to Easing Restrictions further, allowing cafe is under restaurant to open until midnight instead of 10 30pm so it goes somewhat against the outlook of the government here.

Two Police Forces are to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster. The South Yorkshire and West Midlands forces agreed the settlement earlier this year following a civil claim. Nobody has ever been convicted over Police Actions following the disaster, in which 96 liverpool fans died at a 1989 Fa Cup semi final. Dan johnson reports. The double injustice of the lives lost at hillsborough and the attempt to deflect the blame from the police has now resulted in an agreement to pay damages to more than 600 people over what the victims families have always considered to be a Cover Up. The forces have agreed to pay compensation to those who are the victims of the Cover Up which was perpetrated after the Hillsborough Disaster way back in 1989. It is a measure of people accepting that there is some Element Ofjustice in the system, but it still lacks complete accountability as far as many of those who suffered are concerned. South Yorkshire Police was in charge that April Day in 1989 when 96 liverpool fans were crushed to death. In 2012, the force said sorry. I want to apologise unreservedly to the families and those affected. More than 100 officers statements were changed during the investigation overseen by West Midlands police. Now it and the south Yorkshire Force both reached a settlement for alleged misfeasance in a public office. Last week, two former senior south Yorkshire Officers and the Force Solicitor were cleared of perverting the Course Ofjustice because their work was deemed to be outside the judicial process. There were calls for a change in the law. This takes us back to the Hillsborough Bill that we need to turn into a Hillsborough Law because that would place a Duty Of Candour On Public officials when they are dealing with those inquiries. It would require full transparency. The level of Compensation Hasnt been detailed, but one of the legal firms said this now marks the end of an unparalleled fight for justice. Dan johnson, Bbc News. And as dan explains, South Yorkshire Police have issued an apology this lunchtime. The force says in a statement we acknowledge serious errors and mistakes were made by South Yorkshire Police, on the 15th Of April 1989 and during the subsequent investigations. It says there was actions on the day of the disaster tragically led to lives being lost and many being injured. The forces subsequent feelings caused huge distress, Suffering And Pain both to the victims and their families. This is something South Yorkshire Police profoundly regrets. The candour in that statement along with the compensation in this agreement is something that will be welcomed by the families but on both counts for so many of their families this has all come too late. Thank you. Im nowjoined by nia williams, head of Human Rights at Sanders Law who represents some of the bereaved families. Thank you for coming on the programme. What do you make of this, how significant is this moment for families . , u, families . Very significant, it represents families . Very significant, it represents acceptance families . Very significant, it represents Acceptance And L families .

To be clear because that has been so much coverage and it is quite detailed, can you explain to us in simple terms the different types of Court Cases and what has happened. This is a civil claim for Misfeasance In Public Office against the South Yorkshire Police and West Midlands police, a civil claim as opposed to criminal prosecution. The criminal prosecution unfortunately failed to deliverjustice and no individual being held accountable or the Cover Up. Whereas the civil claim being just against the Police Forces, they have settled there was some form of acceptance of what happened in the aftermath. The timinu happened in the aftermath.

And that needs to be put back on the political agenda nepals Prime Minister is making an urgent plea to World Leaders to provide vaccines for his country as it undergoes a severe second wave of coronavirus. In an exclusive interview with the bbc, Kp Sharma 0li says The Uk has a particular responsibility to help, given its close ties to nepal. We can speak now to our South Asia Correspondent, Rajini Vaidyanathan whos in kathmandu. Tell us a bit more. Not since the devastating earthquake in 2015 has this nation experienced a crisis of such magnitude. We saw the scenes out of neighbouring india of people struggling to get beds and oxygen, the same thing was happening here a few weeks ago, things have eased although i see your beds and ventilators remain in short supply. Some international aid has arrived in the including some ventilators and ppe from The Uk but in the interview i did with the Prime Minister that he said at his vaccines he desperately wants from The Uk. Putting it into context, this country of around 30 Million people, fewer than 3 have been fully vaccinated and a particular concern is more than1 million elderly nepalese were given the first dose of Oxford Actorjen Nick but because of Supply Issues with india they are not able to get the second dose so and the interview he gave me the Prime Minister made a directly to borisjohnson saying directly to Boris Johnson saying nepal should be directly to borisjohnson saying nepal should be a priority directly to Boris Johnson saying nepal should be a priority not least because of the service the gurkha soldiers gave to britain. I called our neighbours and otherfriends, global, international organisations and others to support us, and we got support also from different governments and organisations, nepalese and others, but its not enough. And we are trying to get more support. And particularly, we want to buy vaccinations now. They have been able to source vaccines from china, begot the news from the united states and the avast 24 hour is that america would send vaccines to Asia And Nepal will be deceiving some of those but we do not know how many. It is also worth mentioning that the stories and reports of a so called nepali variant that have emerged in media and government has caused some anger here in nepal and i will tell you what the Health Ministry has to say about that, they say the reports are baseless in their view, that the dominant strain here as the Delta Variant, the first emerged in india and they are very angry about the reports they are hearing from The Uk. Thank you. A 38 year old man and 14 year old boy have appeared before Birmingham Magistrates court today, charged with the murder of 1a year old dea John Reid on monday evening.

Michael shields, Who S 35 and also charged with murder, is due to appear at the Crown Court later today. A body has been found in the search for a teenager who went missing after attending a rave, police said. Frantisheck morris, known as frankie, was last seen walking in pentir, near bangor, in gwynedd, north wales, at about 1. 20pm on Sunday 2nd of may.

Health ministers from the g7 nations are meeting in oxford today, in a summit to discuss global Health Security amid the coronavirus pandemic. Led by The Uks department of health and social care, the summit will also focus on the development of vaccines. Joining me now is dr clare wenham, an assistant professor in global Health Policy at the London School of economics. Thank you for coming on the programme. Lets start with vaccines, the issue of the global roll out, where are we with that . We rollout, where are we with that . We have roll out, where are we with that . Have seen some interesting developments and the last week, for example the biden administration announced they would make a significant increase in the contribution and voluntary donations of vaccinations elsewhere in the world but we still seem to be reaching this roadblock about waving ip and allowing me the full domestic Production And Technology transfer of the patent is to develop vaccines elsewhere in the world to ramp up production so we are still looking at this voluntary Contribution Model rather than actually developing low cost vaccines as soon as possible. Lowcost vaccines as soon as possible lowcost vaccines as soon as ossible. ,. ,. , , possible. You often hear messages like we are possible. You often hear messages like we are only possible.

You often hear messages like we are only as strong as the i like we are only as strong as the weakest link around global health and yet how everyone seems to believe in that it does not seem to becoming true in practical terms. Exactly, a lot of chat about solidarity but what our government is demonstrating and the g7 governments are demonstrating as we are not in this together, the g7 nations are continuing their Vaccination Programmes, we have seen today The Uk has now permitted teenagers to get vaccinated and we are doing this at a point where parts of the world simply have not got any vaccines are not be able to get even a small fragment of the population vaccinated this year. We are seeing these gross inequities which you could argue at the very opposite of global solidarity they are trying to Push. {lin opposite of global solidarity they are trying to Push.

It is a problem around the world as new variants and the violence they might continues to spread.

I hope so, it is the idea of a Pandemic Treaty this week so getting governments around the world is led by the g7 and who to make a Particle Commitment to not letting this happen again in Future and demonstrate and put legal requirements on countries to make sure we are sharing Vaccine Information and improving Surveillance Capacity so this does not happen in the Future. It is at the early stages, the who has set up a meeting of the Health Assembly to take this forward in november, there is a lot of opportunity for countries not to agree to it or agree to parts of it which might lead to a hodgepodge but the sentiment is there. Lead to a hodgepodge but the sentiment is there. It s almost a year since the toppling of Edward Colston s statue in the centre Of Bristol during a black lives matter demonstration. Since it was fished out of city s harbour, its fate has been under discussion. Well now the statue has been put on temporary display lying on its side. Sabet choudhury reports. The fallen effigy. Colston is a constant reminder of a painful Past. The statue is a divisive symbol of a city trying to come to terms with its history. Almost one year ago, he was toppled and dumped into the harbour. Now, it is a centrepiece in a display designed to engage bristol. So this is very much, if you like, inviting the city to pause and reflect, but also to think a little bit about, 0k, what do we do with this statue . Where do we want to display this or not display this . What do you want to do with the plinth . What do we want to do with the streets and squares of the city . What is our attitude towards the Past, present, Future . The events of that day last year laid bare a raw wound in a city proud of its diversity. But many now feel its time to heal by better understanding the Past through open and honest conversations. I think we want to give them a period of contemplation. An opportunity to see the statue again, to see what it looks like now, to see what came out of the harbour, we want them to understand some of the context around the statue. You will hear about colston, you will hear about the timeline of the statue setting up, and also some of that protest that happened in the decade leading up to the topic. Leading up to the toppling. So it is an opportunity for people to be provoked into thinking about what this means for them, and so that they can complete this survey, put their views forward, but not only put their views forward, listen to the views of others i think as well. I think it is good that people can see it. I iguess, probably, best| for bristolians to decide what should happen to it because its kind of Past Of Bristols history. Part Of Bristols history. But being in a museum is a place to start. Maybe replace it with| something a bit nicer. I dont think it is a problem it having a space physically to reside, to educate. That space just should not really be public bristol, you know, land. Public Bristol Sea would be fine, but land, no. Things like that should be public, and should be decided | by The General Public and the viewsj Of Bristol, they know what they are, taking everyonesl opinion into factor. That would be good. Change was the buzzword after colston fell and a year on, theres hope that bristol can now lead the way. This is, in local, whats happening all over the place. What i would hope is that in bristol we might be able to show people how to do things well, that we may be able to respond to this moment in a really positive way, and in a sense be leaders of change in the ways that we have this kind of conversations about difficult or traumatic Pasts. The Future is a construct, one that is shaped by our actions and opinions, but the starting point, may need to be a better understanding of Each Other� s Past. Now its time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. So far the weather has been a little mixed today. Sunshine but also some quite heavy rain across the South East. You can see on the radar the rain spreading from south moving northwards, and i think the second half of the day will be cloudy and damp if not wet across some South Eastern areas, but many parts of the country across central and western areas will have a mostly sunny day and a clear evening. That is how it is looking through the night. Clear skies across many parts of the country but in the South East there is the cloud and rain. 0vernight lows, a little bit of a Nip In The Air in north Eastern Areas, 6c in newcastle, more like 10 13 in the south. Tomorrow, a much better day in the South East after the Rain Today but we get a few showers into South Western england, maybe wales and also showers for Northern Ireland into western scotland, but temperatures into the low 20s for the most part.

The delta or indian Variant Of Coronavirus is believed to be fuelling a third wave in The Uk, with not only cases but also Hospital Admissions rising. It comes as the latest official figures suggest that covid Infection Rates have gone up. An estimated one in 640 people are believed to have had the virus in england over the week to the 29th Of May up from one in 1,120 the previous week. There has also been an increase in the number of people testing positive in wales and scotland. John burn murdoch is a Data Journalist for the financial times he has been providing insight into coronavirus statistics. Thanks forjoining us. Lets get to the bottom of some of these numbers. How worried are you by what you are seeing in the numbers about the indian or Delta Variant . Seeing in the numbers about the indian or Delta Variant . There are a coule of indian or Delta Variant . There are a couple of reasons indian or Delta Variant . There are a couple of reasons to indian or Delta Variant . There are a couple of reasons to be indian or Delta Variant . There are a couple of reasons to be concerned L Couple of reasons to be concerned about this variant and there was also a slightly more positive note that came out of the data we saw yesterday, but the main new information we received yesterday was that there is some evidence now that for people who are infected with the variant, there is more risk of them being hospitalised than there was for The Uk variant, which is something we did not know previously, so that is concerning and it would mean that an increase to risk of hospital is coming under strain, but on the Flip Side we heard yesterday the latest estimate for the extent to which the Delta Variant is more transmissible came down slightly from around 70 to around 50 , and these numbers will continue to move because we dont know whether it will end up closer to one of those or the other. But if that increase in transmissibility is slightly lower than we feared, that works in the opposite direction and it means the risk of a fully fledged third wave would be slightly smaller, so the net impact of what we heard yesterday was concerning in some areas but may be more optimistic in others. It still means there are legitimate fears that we could see numbers of hospitalisations rising again in The Uk in the coming weeks and beyond and i think that is why there is now pressure on reevaluating the 21st of June Reopening. I pressure on reevaluating the 21st of June Reopening pressure on reevaluating the 21st of June Reopening. I know you are not a olitician, June Reopening. I know you are not a politician. And June Reopening. I know you are not a politician, and im June Reopening. I know you are not a politician, and im not June Reopening. I know you are not a politician, and im not holding June Reopening. I know you are not a politician, and im not holding you i politician, and im not holding you to account, but people will be fixed on that date, understandably. Do you think what you have seen in the numbers throws into doubt that date . It is a tricky one. The key thing is if we take the various pieces of information we have got about increased transmissibility and the likely increased risk of being hospitalised, all of that suggests that with the reopening we have already had, we are going to see numbers of people in Hospital Increase in the coming weeks, and some people say, that hasnt happened yet. Numbers of people in hospital in bolton went up about then have stabilised, for example. But knowing what we do, it feels, it would be unlikely if numbers of people in hospital dont increase across The Uk in the coming weeks, and of course we dont know what pace that increase will follow. But it feels like a sensible step to say, ok, we were going to be open everything on the 21st but things have changed considerably from when that Decision And Date was initially outlined, and it seems prudent and sensible to say, lets perhaps Push things back a small amount, get more people vaccinated, because the one thing that remains true with all of the data is that a second dose of the data is that a second dose of the vaccine throws up a very good defence against the variants, so i think people saying, if we ship things and allow people, more people to get vaccinated, before reopening, that seems like a sensible approach right now. That seems like a sensible Approach Riaht now. ,. ,. ,. ,. , right now. John, thanks for oining us. Coronavirus cases in scotland have more than tripled over the Past month with Todays Case numbers at the highest level since february according to the scottish government. But first minister Nicola Sturgeon said there are now strong indications that vaccines are weakening the link between new cases and hospitalisations. Speaking at her regular News Briefing in edinburgh, Ms Sturgeon confirmed another 992 positive cases with two more deaths in the Past 2a hours. You can clearly see from the Figures Today that we are at a very critical juncture right now. In what we still hope and still very much hope and believe is a transition to a less restrictive way of dealing with covid, but the position we are in at the moment, on that transition is a fragile one and that will inform my Comments Today and the tone of the Comments Today and the tone of the comments i want to make. 0n the downside, as we can seek cases are rising again, and they have more than tripled in the last month, and today more than 900 cases have been reported, the highest number of new cases since the 17th of february. The R Number is now estimated to be above one and indeed many experts believe that Notjust Scotland but The Uk is now at the start of a third wave of covid. Underlying this andindeed third wave of covid. Underlying this and indeed driving all of this is the new Delta Variant which now makes up the majority of all new cases in scotland. This variant is thought to be quite significantly more transmissible than even the Kent Variant we dealt with at the turn of the year. As you may have seen reported, there is early data suggesting that all else being equal it may increase the risk of hospitalisation. Hopefully vaccines are reducing overall the risk of hospitalisation but even if it is a lower risk the early data suggests the new Delta Variant has a higher risk than the variants that went before. It is important to say that thatis before. It is important to say that that is something that is still under investigation and what has been reported in the last 2a hours is early data. All of that, obviously, gives cause for concern and right throughout this i have never tried to shy away from saying to you when we are in a period that should make everyone Sit Up and remember that this virus is not done with us yet. That said, there is an upside as well, and it is an upside that we did not have at the start of the first wave or even at the start of the second way, and that is of course the vaccines. We do need to analyse the data on an ongoing basis so again a bit like the data on hospitalisations, it is too early to be definitive, but the strong indication that we have so far is that vaccines are weakening the link between rising cases and cases of hospitalisation and Intensive Care and people dying. Glasgow is set to enter level two restrictions tomorrow, but today the first minister urged people to be careful and stay outside where possible. Glasgow has had the toughest restrictions in place of the longest is going to level two Tomorrow And Thatis is going to level two tomorrow and that is possible because the collective sacrifice of people in the city and the massive public Health Effort that is still ongoing had stabilised the situation. Being able to visit family and friends or have a drink in a pub will be a great relief to people in the city. Eight or nine months since visiting family and friends indoors has been possible and as someone who lives in glasgow i know how difficult that has been, but please still be careful. Case numbers are still high and again, stay outside as much as you can. The wales first Minister Mark Drakeford has confirmed wales will move to alert level one from monday allowing up to 30 people to meet outdoors. He stressed that the backdrop to this latest review was the rise of the Delta Strain of coronavirus in other parts of The Uk. From monday next week, up to 30 people will be able to meet indoors, and that includes indoor hospitality, Public Spaces and private gardens. 0utdoor events and organised activities will be able to take place with a maximum number of 4000 people in a standing venue, and 10,000 people when they are seated. But i must make this very clear, those are maximum numbers. All organisations arranging such events must carry out a Risk Assessment of the specific venue to make sure that it is meeting the requirements set out in regulations to take the measures necessary to prevent the spread of the virus. 0ver measures necessary to prevent the spread of the virus. Over and above what we have offered in terms of Easing Restrictions outdoors from monday, we will also be able from monday, we will also be able from monday to increase the number of households who can come together to form an extended Household And Support bubble. Until now only two households have been able to come together, but from monday that number will increase to three. I know that will be welcomed by many families. Right across wales.

Two Police Forces agree to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster. Thousands of police have been patrolling the streets of Hong Kong to stop people commemorating the anniversary of the 1989 massacre in beijings Tiananmen Square. The authorities have banned vigils for a second year, citing coronavirus restrictions. There are reports that one activist has been arrested. Earlier today, one of the organisers of the annual Candlelit Event in The Park, Chow Hung Tang was detained by police. From Hong Kong, heres Lam Cho why of the bbc chinese service. For the Past three decades, Hong Kongs Victoria Park has been turned into a sea of candle lights on the 4th ofjune. It was the only place on chinese soil where large scale commemorations of the Tiananmen Square crackdown were allowed. For the Past two years, it has been banned due to covid restrictions. But critics say the traditions long Future'>Term Future is under threat. Another sign of beijings tighter control over Hong Kong. Here is the Victoria Park where the annual Candlelight Vigil takes place. We can see heavy police presence. A large part of The Park has been blocked. It is obvious the authorities dont want people to gather this year. Chow hang tung has helped organise the vigil for the Past five years. Today, she was arrested near her office by Plainclothes Police officers and accused of promoting unauthorised assembly. A charge that could see her face time in prison. We spoke to her only days before her arrest. Translation | am prepared to be arrested. This is how Hong Kong is now. If you fight for democracy under an authoritarian regime, being arrested is unavoidable. Many of her fellow activists who organised the vigil are now in jail. She has reluctantly become the public face of the pro democracy Hong Kong alliance. Ifeel a bit lonely because many of my fellow activists are now behind bars. Under the national security law, there is now deeper meaning to commemorating june 4th. Do we dare to come out . Do we dare to protect the candlelight at Victoria Park . As long as we dont give up, there are still hopes Hong Kong people can protect our freedom. The authorities have been cracking down on civil liberties. Miss chows arrest is yet another example of the growing intolerance of dissent. 77 years after the campaign that was to become the Turning Point in the second World War a memorial to the 22,000 service men and women who died during the D Day landings will open. The british Normandy Memorial, which over looks Gold Beach the Landing Zone for thousands of allied soliders will be officially opened on sunday. Covid restrictions mean veterans and the families of some of those who died, and whove raised Tens Of Thousands of pounds towards the cost of the memorial, wont be able to attend in person. John maguire has been speaking to some of them. Ken peppercorn was born and raised in cambridgeshire but was serving with the Royal Scots when he landed in normandy on D Day. It was all life jackets, soaked in blood and the sea was all red with blood and that really, you know, put you off a bit, but i thought to myself, well, im here, ive got to keep going. He was just 22 years old when he attempted his first precarious steps on to what was codenamed Gold Beach. Along with the veterans, families of those who fought and died liberating normandy will attend the commemoration at the national Memorial Arboretum in staffordshire. Theyll watch a Video Link from france as the Normandy Memorial has its official opening. Chris bates will be there. His uncle sidney, nicknamed basher, is the only Victoria Cross Recipient featured on the memorial. A brave man, like all of them are. They were all brave men, whether they win a medal or not. Two or three times a year, i spend a weekend or a week if i can, over there, travelling around, pay my respects, just so that our lads are being visited. It gets a bit emotional, you know . Thats how it is. There is a lot of young men out there, so i think its good that we should remember them and keep visiting them, wherever we can. Here at The National Archives are the original wartime documents a valuable resource that formed just part of the research by Jane Furlong who spent more than nine months determining and double checking every single name on the memorial. The Memorial Itself is ordered by date, so that what you can do as youre going around the Memorial Itself, you can follow the tide of battle, so you will see, naturally, the 6th ofjune, huge numbers of casualties on that day. But then, as you go around the memorial, you will see other elements, some days were quieter than others, some days there were more casualties, but as youre walking around, you can get sort of a visceral feel for that, as youre physically walking around it. Those not on the walls, the ones who made It Home, were fortunate, says eric strange. He was a young Sub Lieutenant in charge of beach landing craft. It was very rough, actually, on the 5th ofjune and 6th, very rough. I got picked up and dropped off sword beach. The rest of the lads had to go over on their own steam, which was a bit naughty that night, 40 foot open barges, as it wasnt a quiet evening at all, very rough sea. It was a hell of a thing to happen, so it is something that you keep in your mind, ina way. But it was all a long time ago. Such was the scale of D Day, the brutality of war, and the loss of so many on both sides, including civilians, those who survived say they do feel lucky, and, to this day, talk of the duty they feel to tell the world of their experiences in an attempt to prevent such loss of life from ever happening again. John maguire, Bbc News. Now for one Woman Leicester citys Fa Cup victory was the realistion of a promise made more than 70 years ago. Margaret Angels Fiance Cecil popped the question in 1948 but he didnt have enough money for a ring. He promised to buy her one if his beloved Leicester City won the Fa Cup. Sadly cecil died before the club lifted the trophy, so his son stepped in to fulfil his dads promise. Kathryn Stan Cheshan went to see margarets new sparkler. It was a long wait but it was worth it. He used to say it every time. Youll get your ring when City Win the cup. In 1948, Cecil Angel proposed to his sweetheart, margaret. Money was tight so the deal was a proper Engagement Ring when his beloved Leicester City won the Fa Cup. I never thought id get one, to be honest. They got to the final so many times, and i never got my ring. Over the decades, margaret got her hopes up on four occasions but it wasnt to be until now. So how does that hand feel, margaret, with a sparkler like that on it now . Its wonderful. Have you taken it off yet . No. I havent taken it off yet. Never will. Im not going to take it off either. Sadly, cecil is no longer around to see the Football Moment hed always longed for, but his son, mike, decided to step in and honour a promise The Ring his mum deserves and his dad would have wanted her to have. Loved his football, loved his sport, loved cricket, rugby. Followed leicester, leicestershire in absolutely everything. Itsjust a matter of whether were all alive for Leicester City to win it. Yeah, theyve made it. 73 years later but theyve done it. Last week we told the Angell Family Story and it turned out a certain Football Club was watching. They decided margaret should have another surprise. Hello, margaret. Ive got something really special to hand over to you. I think you probably know what this is, dont you . L thats beautiful. Ive been waiting for this for a long time, so thank you all. Theyve made my dream come true. Fantastic. I didnt imagine anything like this would happen. But to have the Fa Cup in your garden with your mother and just looking at a 96 year old with a big grin on her face. For a Football Club still basking in Fa Cup glory, this has been a cherry on the cake. One of the best ones, presentations, ive ever done, and believe you me ive done a few over the years. But for margaret, fantastic. What a beautiful story i think if wed have known margaret had been waiting we might have done it quicker. And for margaret, this was the fulfilment of a Life Promise and the ultimate way to honour the man who made it. Im sure my husband is up there feeling very happy with his self. Kathryn stanczyszyn, Bbc News. Now its time for a look at the weather. The Weather Outlook is looking pretty good for most of The Uk in the coming days, and the weekend is certainly looking largely dry, warm sunny spells and the fine early Summer Weather will continue into next week as well, but at the moment it feels like the early start to summer has come to an abrupt end across the South East. Cloud spreading in, rain bearing cloud, but they will be shearing off into the North Sea during the course of today. Still some rain around in the South East through the course of the evening but elsewhere in The Uk after all of that sunshine we have a fine evening and a bit of cloud may be, may be showers flirting with Northern Ireland and western scotland, and they will continue to do so through the night. A lot of clear weather in the early hours of saturday and then the South Eastern portion of The Uk still waking up to the remnants of todays rain. Six in newcastle and 13 in london and most of us somewhere in between. The Weather Map for saturday, in between Weather Map for saturday, in between weather systems, one across ireland and another one in central parts of europe, so most should have a fine day. One Weather Front here will bring cloud and spots of rain and may be heavy bursts of rain to the South West of england. Possibly wales. Showers are Northern Ireland and scotland but a much better day further east tomorrow. More sunshine around for norwich, for example, and london. Sunday morning, lots of sunshine around, Weather Fronts out at bay, you can see in the north atlantic, pleasant breeze, a nice day, and i would not rule out a shower but for the vast majority of us it is a dry sunday with temperatures into the low 20s in southern and central areas, the middle or high teams in the north. Monday, High Pressure over The Uk, the possibility of a few showers across Eastern Areas especially about the broad message is we will see warm weather spreading in from the south and you can see right into scandinavia, as well. As far as the outlook is concerned, if anything over the coming days, temperatures will be rising nationwide and we are talking generally dry weather. Goodbye. This is Bbc News im lewis vaughanjones.

Havoc for holidaymakers and businesses portugal and the Travel Industry react angrily to the Governments Decision to remove the country from the green travel list. The Variant Of Coronavirus first identified in india is now the dominant strain in The Uk and Theres Concern that cases are rising. Two Police Forces agree to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster i havent taken it off yet, im not going to take it off either. And how a promise made more than seventy years ago. Has finally been fulfilled the Uk Medicines regulator has approved the extention of the Szier Biontech Vaccine for use in children as young as 12. The mhra said it carried out a � rigorous review� of the vaccine in adolescents between 12 and 15 saying the benefits outweigh the risks. The uk� s Vaccine Committee will now decide on whether to advise the government that this Age Group should be vaccinated as part of The Uk rollout. Here� s our Health Correspondent Catherine burns. America has been doing it for a month. Just got the shot a few minutes ago. This is the best way to go about things. And now, The Uk is one step closer to vaccinating older children. The regulator, the mhra, has authorised the Pfizer Vaccine for 12 to 15 year olds. It says this is safe and effective. But the roll out will only be extended to younger teenagers if Thejoint Committe on vaccination and immunisation advises the government to do this. Right now, much of the focus here, though, is on a rise in Case Numbers. At the peak injanuary, figures from the Office For National Statistics suggested that one in 50 people across The Uk would have tested positive. But those numbers fell steadily. By the start of may, it was down to one in 1,375. But now it has gone up to one in 660 people. This has been driven partly by an increase in cases of the variant first identified in india, known as delta. A lot of that has focused on places with high rates like blackburn and bolton. But now, public Health England says the Delta Variant is the most widespread across The Uk. The big question, though, is, what does this mean for the next step along the roadmap to reopening in england . There isn� T Anything yet in the data to say that we are definitively off track, but it is too early to make the decision about 21stjune. He says yet, because there� s still so much uncertainty. We know this variant spreads more quickly, but we� re not sure exactly how fast. Scientists think it could make people more likely to need a hospital stay, but they� re not certain. We know at the moment that the Delta Variant, The Indian Variant, is doubling across the country about every nine days, with some variability from place to place, but we haven� t fully seen the effect of what happened from 17th may, step three, the relaxation of restrictions, coming through into that data, so we expect that to accelerate even more. Ministers will update people in ten days� time. Data they get over that period will be key to what the start of the summer will look like. 0ur Health CorrespondentJim Reed explained the thinking behind extending the vaccination to 12 15 Year Olds. There are two possible reasons to want to vaccinate children, one is to protect them from serious illness and all the data shows that children are at a very low risk of serious illness from covid but not at a zero risk so i was looking at figures from america earlier, if you compare 5 17 Year Olds with someone in their 30s, children are about half as likely to get infected, ten times less likely to go to hospital with covid. That is a lot less of a risk but it is not digital that is a lot less of a risk but it is not zero so that is one reason to do it, the other is more important possibly, scientists and ministers are thinking is to reduce the possible risk of transmission, the idea that you could have children within schools spreading the virus, taking It Home and to the community. The data on that is actually fairly difficult to read, most of it suggests it can be picked up in schools and spread but children are not a significant drier of thiS Decision. Driver of thiS Decision. These are the kind of aspects and data that ministers are thinking to that younger Age Group. We will await that decision. One other thing, the R Number, something we used to report so often, less so given the Vaccine Rollout but more news on that. The R Number measures how many People Someone infected with the virus is likely to pass it on to. If that number is higher than one it means that overall cases are likely to rise, ifit is lower than one it means the pandemic infections and reducing across the Community And Today the latest figure for england is between one and 1. 2, scientists think a slight rise from last week. Also Nicola Sturgeon talking about the R Number in scotland is above one, pointing to a wider picture about the pandemic slightly growing in The Uk but not growing very quickly, not yet. Adam finn is a professor of paediatrics at Bristol Medical School and is a member of Thejoint Committee on vaccination and immunisation. Of Thejoint Committee today he� s speaking to us in a personal capacity. 1215 12 15 Year Olds, would you want to see them vaccinated . I 1215 yearolds, would you want to see them vaccinated .

It could be the case that by highly immunising the Adult Population we can indirectly protect children and they will not get the infection without any other needing to be immunised and we have seen that already happening in israel so there is evidence that is at least possible at least in israel with the Virus Variants they had at the time earlier this year so that would be the reason to not do it. The reason to do it primarily would be to avoid further disruption to children� s education through shutdown of schools or outbreaks causing children to be excluded because cases or contacts because the greatest time we have seen the two children in the pandemic so far has been the disruption to rise in education the greatest harm. Than . Education the greatest harm. Any idea on education the greatest harm.

As with the programme already so far it is programme already so far it is likely any programme will be age descending because we have consistently seen that higher age as a Risk Factorfor consistently seen that higher age as a Risk Factor for more transmission and more disease. That would be the most likely group to be targeting first and then further down through the School Age and then the timing of the decision, clearly one has to make decisions in sufficient time for the Logistics And Planning to take place so you cannot put the decision off whatever but in the short term the limiting factor for the programme is supply of vaccine and clearly if you are giving the vaccine right now to children you would not be giving it to adults who were at higher risk. The delta or so called indian Variant Of Coronavirus is believed to be fuelling a third wave in The Uk, with not only cases but also Hospital Admissions rising. It comes as the latest official figures suggest that covid Infection Rates have gone up. An estimated one in 640 people are believed to have had the virus in england over the week to the 29th Of May up from one in 1,120 the previous week. There has also been an increase in the number of people testing positive in wales and scotland. In order to tackle the virus and prevent further waves of the virus, g7 Health Ministers have agreed today to make it easier and quicker to share results from vaccine and therapeutic trials. Professor David Heymann is from the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine, he coordinated the World Health 0rganisation response to sars, which was caused by a type of coronavirus. Cani can i ask you about the issue of variance, how Big A Stumbling Block are they to getting out of this . When you are talking about the virus it is only one third of the issue to discuss and viruses can mutate and become more transmissible almost transmissible and it appears the India Strain is more transmissible, the variant is more transmissible, however Transmission Depends also on people and how people interact with Each Other so if people are not following the guidelines to stay at least a metre apart they will be at risk of increasing transmission of that variant. It takes people to increase transmission and the Problem Today is many people do not understand clearly how to prevent transmission. Governments have been doing it for them and the Past through lockdown, they have not had to do their own Risk Assessment and determine whether or not they need to either protect themselves or others. The third factor of transmissibility as the immunity in the community. Whether or not people who have had infection in the Past and those to have been vaccinated are actually protected from the Variant Strain which appears as happening now, it is the virus the strain and the variant has not escaped Vaccine Protection nor has it escaped natural immunity. Those are the factors playing together which will determine what will happen in the Future. Mi which will determine what will happen in the Future. Happen in the Future. Ali any situation happen in the Future. Ali any situation where happen in the Future. Ali any situation where life happen in the Future. Ali any situation where life simply. Happen in the Future. Ali any i situation where life simply will happen in the Future. Ali any situation where life simply will not ever go back to what it was before, we have to live with this .

Be with us and there has been a lot of discussion and who about whether countries should vote to our Control Programme rather than continuing Emergency Pandemic Response and a Control Programme would be watching the virus, especially those populations that are vaccinated and if they began to have breakthroughs of virus and vaccinated people then that has to be a reason for that, either the virus has mutated and a variant is escaping protection or for some other reason people are not remaining protected. It is really important now to set up programmes that will be long term, monitoring the virus and countries. That will be longterm, monitoring the virus and countries. That will be longterm, monitoring the virus and countries. Portugal and members of the Travel Industry have reacted angrily to the government� S Decision to remove the country from the green travel list. Ministers say they know holidaymakers may be disappointed, but they� re concerned about a new Covid Variant linked to nepal. Holiday makers in portugal now face a race against time to book Covid Tests and flights home to beat the mandatory Quarantine Period that will come into force next tuesday. Airlines are putting on extra flights to get tourists back to england. Our Business Correspondent Katy austin reports. Today, the news that portugal is heading off the green list was sinking in. It meant a sudden change of plan for some travellers. We didn� t want to cancel our holiday so last year two of our holidays got cancelled so we were really looking forward to this one, as soon it got put on the green list, booked it, and then yesterday we found out it was amber. Got the kids in the car, just waiting for a test. Simon and his family are in the algarve visiting their villa. He is desperately searching for a Covid Test Appointment so that they can fly home early tomorrow. We� ve got to get back before tuesday so that i don� T Quarantine for ten days. I run my own business so i need to get back and i� ve got meetings et cetera. For many businesses in portugal, yesterday� s news was a huge disappointment. ThiS Decision will cost me a lot of money, because we have took the decision because of this Travel Possibilities to portugal in june for The Uk customers, we reopened hotels, we have already some cancellations during Yesterday And Today in the morning, but i believe more will come. No new countries were added to the green list yesterday. Portugal left that category and became amber with a requirement to self isolate at home for ten days upon return. It� s not illegal to travel to these places but the government� s told people not to go to them on holiday. Seven more countries were added to the highest risk red list, which means returning Uk Residents must pay to quarantine in an approved hotel. The government said portugal� S Change of status was necessary. We saw a very significant rise in positivity in recent weeks, in fact it has doubled in portugal in three weeks since the last review point, to take it to a much higher level than we see here in The Uk. We� ve also seen a further mutation emerge, become prevalent, within portugal. But there has been outcry from the Travel Industry, already reeling from more than a year of restrictions, ryanair condemned the decision and questioned its scientific basis. The feedback is that most of them are still going to travel, most of them have already been vaccinated, and if they have to comply with the quarantine on the way back, i think they will, but a lot of the Customer Feedback we had last night is that they are going for two or three weeks to portugal and they believe that portugal will be back on the green list by the time they return.

Two Police Forces agree to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster. Two Police Forces are to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster. The South Yorkshire and West Midlands forces agreed the settlement earlier this year following a civil claim. Nobody has ever been convicted over Police Actions following the disaster, in which 96 liverpool fans died at a 1989 Fa Cup semi final. Dan johnson reports. The double injustice of the lives lost at hillsborough and the attempt to deflect the blame from the police has now resulted in an agreement to pay damages to more than 600 people over what the victims� families have always considered to be a Cover Up. The forces have agreed to pay compensation to those who are the victims of the Cover Up which was perpetrated after the Hillsborough Disaster way back in 1989. It is a measure of people accepting that there is some Element Ofjustice in the system, but it still lacks complete accountability as far as many of those who suffered are concerned. South Yorkshire Police was in charge that April Day in 1989 when 96 liverpool fans were crushed to death. In 2012, the force said sorry. I want to apologise unreservedly to the families and those affected. More than 100 officers� statements were changed during the investigation overseen by West Midlands police. Now it and the south Yorkshire Force both reached a settlement for alleged misfeasance in a public office. Last week, two former senior south Yorkshire Officers and the Force Solicitor were cleared of perverting the Course Ofjustice because their work was deemed to be outside the judicial process. There were calls for a change in the law. This takes us back to the Hillsborough Bill that we need to turn into a Hillsborough Law because that would place a Duty Of Candour On Public officials when they are dealing with those inquiries. It would require full transparency. The level of compensation hasn� t been detailed, but one of the legal firms said this now marks the end of an unparalleled fight for justice. Dan johnson, Bbc News. And as dan explains, South Yorkshire Police have issued an apology this lunchtime. The force says in a statement we acknowledge serious errors and mistakes were made by South Yorkshire Police, on the 15th Of April 1989 and during the subsequent investigations. It says actions on the day of the disaster tragically led to lives being lost and many being injured. The forces� subsequent failings caused huge distress, Suffering And Pain both to the victims and their families. This is something South Yorkshire Police profoundly regrets. The candour in that statement along with the compensation in this agreement is something that will be welcomed by the families but on both counts for so many of their families this has all come too late. We have had a statement from West Midlands police who say we deeply regret the Harm And Distress caused by those affected by the tragedy and though i know it cannot make up for their suffering working with South Yorkshire Police we have agreed a scheme to compensate those affected. I would like to thank the families for the dignified way in which they have conducted themselves and engaged with us,. That engagement that statement they are from West Midlands police. A 38 year old man and 14 year old boy have appeared before Birmingham Magistrates court today, charged with the murder of 14 year old dea John Reid on monday evening. He died of a single Stab Wound to the chest. George khan, and the teenager who can t be named, were remanded in custody until a hearing next tuesday at Birmingham Crown court. Michael shields, Who S 35 and also charged with murder, is due to appear at the Crown Court later today. Who went missing after attending a rave, police said. Frantisheck morris, known as frankie, was last seen walking in pentir, near bangor, in gwynedd, north wales, at about 1. 20pm on sunday the second of may. The 18 year old attended a party in waunfawr, near snowdonia national park, the night before his disappearance. Police say the coroner has been informed but no formal identification has taken place. Nepal� s Prime Minister has made an urgent plea to World Leaders to provide vaccines for his country as it undergoes a severe second wave of coronavirus. In an exclusive interview with the bbc, Kp Sharma 0li said The Uk had a particular responsibility to help, given its close ties to nepal. Experts suggest that a huge surge in cases and deaths in may, was due to the country� s border with india remaining open. 0ur South Asia Correspondent, Rajini Vaidyanathan, asked the Prime Minister what nepal needs now. I called our neighbours and otherfriends, global, international organizations and others to support us, and we got support also from different governments and organizations, nepalese and others, but it� s not enough. And we are trying to get more support. And particularly we want to buy vaccinations now. If you don� t get the vaccines you need, how bad could the situation get in the months to come here in nepal . We� ll get the vaccine. We cannot imagine that we will not get the vaccine, because that will be devastating. You were relying on india for vaccines and obviously with the situation there, there� s no exports. Covax can� t send vaccines out either because of the situation in india or certainly those astrazeneca doses. So, i mean, what� s your general feeling about how countries like nepal have taken a hit because of the way vaccines are in the world being distributed . This cannot be a medium of owning for any company or the government. They can own, but the distribution should bejustified. That every country, every company should realise that this is the achievement of the entire humanity and entire humanity gives the right to get this. This is not one little question of mercy, but this is the right of the people. A few weeks ago, we weren� t even sure you� d still be in office. You faced votes of no confidence. Some of your critics point to the fact that you held big political rallies in the spring. Were you more focused on the politics of staying in power than dealing with the pandemic . The question of politics and government and the question of pandemic is different. All the political parties had to be united, had to join us, come together to fight against Covid 19. But, Prime Minister, you have people in your own party who� ve turned against you, haven� t you . Some people did that instead of fighting against Covid 19, they were fighting against me. Finance ministers from the g7 leading economies are holding talks in london, where they� ll discuss ways to ensure giant Tech Companies pay more tax. The chancellor Rishi Sunak said he was � confident� an agreement would be reached. It s almost a year since the toppling of Edward Colston s statue in the centre Of Bristol during a black lives matter demonstration. Since it was fished out of city s harbour, its fate has been under discussion. Well now the statue has been put on temporary display lying on its side. Sabet choudhury reports. The fallen effigy. Colston is a constant reminder of a painful Past. The statue is a divisive symbol of a city trying to come to terms with its history. Almost one year ago, he was toppled and dumped into the harbour. Now, it is a centrepiece in a display designed to engage bristol. So this is very much, if you like, inviting the city to pause and reflect, but also to think a little bit about, 0k, what do we do with this statue . Where do we want to display this or not display this . What do you want to do with the plinth . What do we want to do with the streets and squares of the city . What is our attitude towards the Past, present, Future . The events of that day last year laid bare a raw wound in a city proud of its diversity. But many now feel it� s time to heal by better understanding the Past through open and honest conversations. I think we want to give them a period of contemplation. An opportunity to see the statue again, to see what it looks like now, to see what came out of the harbour, we want them to understand some of the context around the statue. You will hear about colston, you will hear about the timeline of the statue setting up, and also some of that protest that happened in the decade leading up to the toppling. So it is an opportunity for people to be provoked into thinking about what this means for them, and so that they can complete this survey, put their views forward, but not only put their views forward, listen to the views of others i think as well. I think it is good that people can see it. I iguess, probably, best| for bristolians to decide what should happen to it because its kind of part Of Bristols history. But being in a museum is a place to start. Maybe replace it with| something a bit nicer. I don� t think it is a problem it having a space physically to reside, to educate. That space just should not really be public bristol, you know, land. Public Bristol Sea would be fine, but land, no. Things like that should be public, and should be decided | by The General Public and the viewsj Of Bristol, they know what they are, taking everyonesl opinion into factor. That would be good. Change was the buzzword after colston fell and a year on, there� s hope that bristol can now lead the way. This is, in local, what� s happening all over the place. What i would hope is that in bristol we might be able to show people how to do things well, that we may be able to respond to this moment in a really positive way, and in a sense be leaders of change in the ways that we have this kind of conversations about difficult or traumatic Pasts. The Future is a construct, one that is shaped by our actions and opinions, but the starting point, may need to be a better understanding of Each Other� s Past. 77 years after the campaign that was to become the Turning Point in the second World War a memorial to the 22,000 service men and women who died during the D Day landings will open. The british Normandy Memorial which over looks Gold Beach the Landing Zone for thousands of allied soliders will be officially opened on sunday. Covid restrictions mean veterans and the families of some of those who died won� t be able to attend in person. John maguire has been speaking to some of them. Ken peppercorn was born and raised in cambridgeshire but was serving with the Royal Scots when he landed in normandy on D Day. It was all life jackets, soaked in blood and the sea was all red with blood and that really, you know, put you off a bit, but i thought to myself, well, i� m here, i� ve got to keep going. He was just 22 years old when he attempted his first precarious steps on to what was codenamed Gold Beach. Along with the veterans, families of those who fought and died liberating normandy will attend the commemoration at the national Memorial Arboretum in staffordshire. They� ll watch a Video Link from france as the Normandy Memorial has its official opening. Chris bates will be there. His uncle sidney, nicknamed basher, is the only Victoria Cross Recipient featured on the memorial. A brave man, like all of them. They were all brave men, whether they win a medal or not. Two or three times a year, i spend a weekend or a week if i can, over there, travelling around, pay my respects, just so that our lads are being visited. It gets a bit emotional, you know . That is how it is. There is a lot of young men out there, so i think its good that we should remember them and keep visiting them, wherever we can. Here at The National Archives are the original wartime documents a valuable resource that formed just part of the research by Jane Furlong who spent more than nine months determining and double checking every single name on the memorial. The Memorial Itself is ordered by date, so that what you can do as you� re going around the Memorial Itself you can follow the tide of battle, so you will see, naturally, the 6th ofjune, huge numbers of casualties on that day. But then, as you go around the memorial, you will see other elements of some days were quieter than others, some days there were more casualties, but as you� re walking around, you can get sort of a visceral feel for that, as you� re physically walking around it. Those not on the walls, the ones who made It Home, were fortunate, says eric strange. He was a young Sub Lieutenant in charge of beach landing craft. It was very rough, actually, on the 5th ofjune and 6th, very rough. I got picked up and dropped off sword beach. The rest of the lads had to go over on their own steam, which was a bit naughty that night, 40 foot open barges, as it wasn� t a quiet evening at all, very rough sea. It was a hell of a thing to happen, so it is something that you keep in your mind, ina way. But it was all a long time ago. Such was the scale of D Day, the brutality of war, and the loss of so many on both sides, including civilians, those who survived say they do feel lucky, and, to this day, talk of the duty they feel to tell the world of their experiences in an attempt to prevent such loss of life from ever happening again. John maguire, Bbc News. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with tomasz. So far the weather has been a little mixed today. Sunshine but also some quite heavy rain across the South East. You can see on the radar, the rain spreading from south moving northwards, and i think the second half of the day will be cloudy and damp if not wet across some South Eastern areas, but many parts of the country, across central and western areas, will have a mostly sunny day and a clear evening. That is how it is looking through the night. Clear skies across many parts of the country but in the South East there is the cloud and rain. 0vernight lows, a little bit of a Nip In The Air in north Eastern Areas, 6c in newcastle, more like 10 13 in the south. Tomorrow, a much better day in the South East after the Rain Today, but we get a few showers into South Western england, maybe wales, and also showers for Northern Ireland into western scotland, but temperatures into the low 20s for the most part. Hello, this is Bbc News. The headlines The Uk� s Health Regulator approves the use of the pfizer Biontech Vaccine for children as young as 12 the Vaccines Committee will now decide whether children should get the jab. Clearly you have to make these decisions in oh sufficient time for the logistics and are planning to take place so you can� t put the decision off for ever but in the short term the limiting factor for the programme is supply of vaccine and clearly if you were given the vaccine right now to children you would not be giving it to adults who were at high risk.

Can we start with you, lyn, what happened to the watchlist that the government said they would use when countries were at risk from moving to different traffic lights, one colour to the other, so why was it that portugal was moved straight from one to the other . The watchlist is a reminder from one to the other . The watchlist is a reminder that from one to the other . The watchlist is a reminder that the from one to the other . The watchlist is a reminder that the government i is a reminder that the government talked about, that was something that was going to be a pre warning, if you like, that a country� s status might change and so we would not get these very quick kneejerk reactions where people had only a few days to sort out their arrangements. So, the public and the trade really welcomed the idea of the watchlist, but unfortunately yesterday that seemed to be by the by. I watchlist was never guaranteed, of course, the governmentjust said they never guaranteed, of course, the government just said they were never guaranteed, of course, the governmentjust said they were going to try to do it, but yesterday came as a shock that rather than save that for Instance Portugal was going on to a watchlist, they took the decisive action straightaway. We don� t really know the true answer. They say they took the action because they are concerned about a nepal variant of The Indian Variant, and obviously portugal, the government there is upset and they feel they have been dealt with unfairly and there was no logic in it.

At the moment that is take any more tests. At the moment that is not take any more tests. At the moment that is not what we are doing here in the that is not what we are doing here in The Uk. That is not what we are doing here in The Uk, we are still requiring people in The Uk, we are still requiring people when they come back into the country. People when they come back into the country, whether they have had the vaccination country, whether they have had the vaccination or not, to take extra tests. Vaccination or not, to take extra tests, because they want to see they are getting tests, because they want to see they are getting on top of these variants of concern are getting on top of these variants of concern and it is only by doing a Pcr Test of concern and it is only by doing a Pcr Test you can do that. Also maybe the restrictions are slightly less if you the restrictions are slightly less if you have had both of your vaccinations, and just today the french vaccinations, and just today the french have said from the 9th Of June we french have said from the 9th Of June we will be allowed to enter France June we will be allowed to enter france if june we will be allowed to enter france if we have been double jabbed over 14 france if we have been double jabbed over 14 days before we enter without having over 14 days before we enter without having to over 14 days before we enter without having to self isolate, because at the moment people have to self isolate if they have not had their self isolate if they have not had Theiriabs Self isolate if they have not had theirjabs. There is a case to say this should theirjabs. There is a case to say this should make a difference but for the this should make a difference but for the moment it is not being used as a way for the moment it is not being used as a way to for the moment it is not being used as a way to enable travel in The Uk to be as a way to enable travel in The Uk to be any as a way to enable travel in The Uk to be any easier.

Meanwhile, whati to get the government to make them green. Meanwhile, what i would say, of course, they are amber and not in the red list, so you can in theory go cap and also the foreign Office Advice for portugal and its islands has not changed. The foreign office is not advising against travel there, certainly at the moment. That is good news. So in theory, as long as madeira� s entry requirements do not change, i would say, yes, the wedding can go ahead. But obviously do keep checking. Hater . Wedding can go ahead.

Nice and to take a test to enter the country. Nice and quick, thank you for that.

So there are definitely some checks being carried out. The risks if you are caught, not at the address you said you were going to be, on your passenger locator form, going to be, on your passenger locatorform, then of going to be, on your passenger locator form, then of course you will get a hefty fine which i believe starts at £1000 but you are risking £10,000.

It has to be either an i antijan or Pcr Test, the antigm anti jan or Pcr Test, the anti Gm Test is anti jan or Pcr Test, the anti Gm Test is much cheaper and then it comes test is much cheaper and then it comes down to the fact that the government needs it to meet certain requirements and they are above 98 specificity. Requirements and they are above 98 specificity, and 80 expressivity, and the specificity, and 80 expressivity, and the details of that are on the Government Website. The easiest way to get Government Website. The easiest way to get to Government Website. The easiest way to get to find somewhere into the country to get to find somewhere into the country you are going to that has a Testing Country you are going to that has a Testing Capability like that is to actually Testing Capability like that is to actually take the kit with you and quite actually take the kit with you and quite a actually take the kit with you and quite a few testing companies, government approved, they now do these government approved, they now do these tests which you can take away with you. These tests which you can take away with you, you take the test when you are abroad with you, you take the test when you are abroad and when you are on a video are abroad and when you are on a Video Call are abroad and when you are on a Video Call with somebody from The Uk, Video Call with somebody from The Uk. Who Video Call with somebody from The Uk, who checks you take it correctly and then uk, who checks you take it correctly and then they take a picture of your cassette and then they take a picture of your cassette with your negative Result And E mail it back to them and then theyemail and E Mail it back to them and then they E Mail you a certificate that will be they E Mail you a certificate that will be acceptable by the Uk Government when you come back into the Country Government when you come back into the country. It would avoid having to go the country. It would avoid having to go and the country. It would avoid having to go and find somewhere to get the film to go and find somewhere to get the right test to go and find somewhere to get the right test in the destination you are in right test in the destination you are in and right test in the destination you are in and i think that is a good way are in and i think that is a good way of are in and i think that is a good way of getting around that. Interesting. Another one, can i fly to south africa to see my family who i have not seen now for two years and i would i need to isolate once i get there . That is from mark. 50 get there . That is from mark. So man get there . That is from mark. Sr many people get there . That is from mark. 5r many people missing their families, it is notjust about holidays. We should not forget that. There are a few things to think about, south africa is on the red list, and when you come back you will have to self isolate and in a government hotel, quarantine in a government hotel, quarantine in a government hotel, but maybe he� s not thinking about that at this stage. And also, it is against the foreign Office Advice to go to south africa at the moment, but that means he won� t be covered by insurance, for instance, which is something to think about. Before making the decision to go. The other thing to think about, entry requirements in south africa, as far as i� m aware, they are quite straightforward, to get into you need to do a Pcr Test and proof of that, and you don� t currently come and i think you are restricted at which entry points you can go in, so check the entry requirements but as far as i� m aware at present you do not have to self isolate once you get there.

Now for one Woman Leicester city� s Fa Cup victory was the realistion of a promise made more than 70 years ago. Margaret angel� s Fiance Cecil popped the question in 1948 but he didn� t have enough money for a ring. He promised to buy her one if his beloved Leicester City won the Fa Cup. Sadly, cecil died before the club lifted the trophy, so his son stepped in to fulfil his dad� s promise. Kathryn Stan Cheshan went to see margaret� s new sparkler. It was a long wait but it was worth it. He used to say it every time. You� ll get your ring when City Win the cup. In 1948, Cecil Angel proposed to his sweetheart, margaret. Money was tight so the deal was a proper Engagement Ring when his beloved Leicester City won the Fa Cup. I never thought i� d get one, to be honest. They got to the final so many times, and i never got my ring. Over the decades, margaret got her hopes up on four occasions but it wasn� t to be until now. So how does that hand feel, margaret, with a sparkler like that on it now . It� s wonderful. Have you taken it off yet . No. I haven� t taken it off yet. Never will. I� m not going to take it off either. Sadly, cecil is no longer around to see the Football Moment he� d always longed for, but his son, mike, decided to step in and honour a promise The Ring his mum deserves and his dad would have wanted her to have. Loved his football, loved his sport, loved cricket, rugby. Followed leicester, leicestershire in absolutely everything. Itsjust a matter of whether were all alive for Leicester City to win it. Yeah, theyve made it. 73 years later but theyve done it. Last week we told the Angell Family Story and it turned out a certain Football Club was watching. They decided margaret should have another surprise. Hello, margaret. Ive got something really special to hand over to you. I think you probably know what this is, dont you . L that� s beautiful. I� ve been waiting for this for a long time, so thank you all. They� ve made my dream come true. Fantastic. I didnt imagine anything like this would happen. But to have the Fa Cup in your garden with your mother and just looking at a 96 year old with a big grin on her face. For a Football Club still basking in Fa Cup glory, this has been a cherry on the cake. One of the best ones, presentations, ive ever done, and believe you me ive done a few over the years. But for margaret, fantastic. What a beautiful story i think if wed have known margaret had been waiting we might have done it quicker. And for margaret, this was the fulfilment of a Life Promise and the ultimate way to honour the man who made it. I� m sure my husband is up there feeling very happy with himself. Kathryn stanczyszyn, Bbc News. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. The Weather Outlook is looking pretty good for most of The Uk in the coming days, and the weekend is certainly looking largely dry, warm sunny spells and the fine early Summer Weather will continue into next week as well, but at the moment it feels like the early start to summer has come to an abrupt end across the South East. Cloud spreading in, rain bearing cloud, but they will be shearing off into the North Sea during the course of today. Still some rain around in the South East through the course of the evening but elsewhere in The Uk after all of that sunshine we have a fine evening and a bit of cloud, maybe showers flirting with Northern Ireland and western scotland, and they will continue to do so through the night. A lot of clear weather in the early hours of saturday and then the South Eastern portion of The Uk still waking up to the remnants of today� s rain. Six in newcastle and 13 in london, most of us somewhere in between. The Weather Map for saturday, in between weather systems, one across ireland and another one in central parts of europe, so most of us should have a fine day. 0ne Weather Front here will bring cloud and spots of rain and may be heavier bursts of rain to the South West of england. Possibly wales. Showers for Northern Ireland and scotland but a much better day further east tomorrow. More sunshine around for norwich, for example, and london. Sunday morning, lots of sunshine around, Weather Fronts out at bay, you can see in the north atlantic. Pleasant breezes, a nice day, and i would not rule out a shower but for the vast majority of us it is a dry sunday with temperatures into the low 20s in southern and central areas, the middle or high teens in the north. Monday, High Pressure over The Uk. The possibility of a few showers across Eastern Areas especially, but the broad message is we will see warm weather spreading in from the south and you can see right into scandinavia, as well. As far as the outlook is concerned, if anything, over the coming days, temperatures will be rising nationwide and we are talking generally dry weather. Goodbye. This is Bbc News i� m lewis vaughanjones. The headlines The Uk� s Health Regulator approves the use of the pfizer Biontech Vaccine for children as young as 12 The Uk� s Vaccines Committee will now decide whether children should get the jab. I want to make sure this is all done clinically based following clinical advice to make sure we get this country out of this pandemic as safely as we can. Havoc for holidaymakers and businesses portugal and the Travel Industry react angrily to the government� S Decision to remove the country from the green travel list. The Variant Of Coronavirus first identified in india is now the dominant strain in The Uk and there� s concern that cases are rising. Two Police Forces agree to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster i haven� t taken it off yet, i� m not going to take it off either. And how a promise made more than seventy years ago. Has finally been fulfilled the Uk Medicines regulator has approved the extention of the Szier Biontech Vaccine for use in children as young as 12. The mhra said it carried out a � rigorous review� of the vaccine in adolescents between 12 and 15 saying the benefits outweigh the risks. The uk� s Vaccine Committee will now decide on whether to advise the government that this Age Group should be vaccinated as part of The Uk rollout. Here� s our Health Correspondent Catherine burns. America has been doing it for a month. Just got the shot a few minutes ago. This is the best way to go about things. And now, The Uk is one step closer to vaccinating older children. The regulator, the mhra, has authorised the Pfizer Vaccine for 12 to 15 year olds. It says this is safe and effective. But the roll out will only be extended to younger teenagers if Thejoint Committe on vaccination and immunisation advises the government to do this. Right now, much of the focus here, though, is on a rise in Case Numbers. At the peak injanuary, figures from the Office For National Statistics suggested that one in 50 people across The Uk would have tested positive. But those numbers fell steadily. By the start of may, it was down to one in 1,375. But now it has gone up to one in 660 people. This has been driven partly by an increase in cases of the variant first identified in india, known as delta. A lot of that has focused on places with high rates like blackburn and bolton. But now, public Health England says the Delta Variant is the most widespread across The Uk. The big question, though, is, what does this mean for the next step along the roadmap to reopening in england . There isn� T Anything yet in the data to say that we are definitively off track, but it is too early to make the decision about 21stjune. He says yet, because there� s still so much uncertainty. We know this variant spreads more quickly, but we� re not sure exactly how fast. Scientists think it could make people more likely to need a hospital stay, but they� re not certain. We know at the moment that the Delta Variant, The Indian Variant, is doubling across the country about every nine days, with some variability from place to place, but we haven� t fully seen the effect of what happened from 17th may, step three, the relaxation of restrictions, coming through into that data, so we expect that to accelerate even more. Ministers will update people in ten days� time. Data they get over that period will be key to what the start of the summer will look like. Some Breaking News, the elitist coronavirus figures have just been published by the government, more than 6000 new cases reported in the last 24 hours, a further 11 people died within 28 days of a positive test, those figures just released by the government. Well responding to the news that the Medicines Regulator had approved the vaccine for use on children aged between 12 and 15, the Health Secretary Matt hancock explained what the government� s next steps would be. The data that has been published is very early, we do not yet have seen data that means with any confidence that there is an impact on the likelihood of being in hospital as a result of catching covid but obviously we are both vigilant about this all the time and also we publish the data we have as soon we haveit publish the data we have as soon we have it what this really reinforces is that the need to make sure that we are cautious and careful as we come out of this pandemic. It is too early to make a decision about the step that will happen not before the Zist Step that will happen not before the 21st ofjune. We look at the Data Everyday and we will make a decision and publish it later this month. Adam finn is a professor of paediatrics at Bristol Medical School and is a member of Thejoint Committee on vaccination and immunisation. I asked him whether he� d like to see 12 15 Year Olds vaccinated. I would not unless it is necessary for their benefit but if it has then for their benefit but if it is then we should go ahead with it. This is an open question under discussion, we are assembling the evidence to make the decision. What are the potential things you are looking out for . What could be a potential problem why they might not be suitable . Why they might not be suitable is because they may simply not need it in order to stay well and be protected. It could be the case that by highly immunising the Adult Population we can indirectly protect children and they will not get the infection without any of them needing to be immunised and we have seen that already happening in israel so there is evidence that is at least possible at least in israel with the Virus Variants they had at the time earlier this year so that would be the reason to not do it. The reason to do it primarily would be to avoid further disruption to children� s education through shutdown of schools or outbreaks causing children to be excluded because cases or contacts because the greatest harm we have seen to children in the pandemic so far has been the disruption to lives and education. Any idea on possible timelines, the presumption is edible be that the presumption is that Age Group ahead of 12th 15,. As with the programme already so far it is likely any programme will be age descending because we have consistently seen that higher age is a Risk Factor for more transmission and more disease. That would be the most likely group to be targeting first and then further down through the School Age and then the timing of the decision, clearly one has to make decisions in sufficient time for the Logistics And Planning to take place so you cannot put the decision off forever but in the short term the limiting factor for the programme is supply of vaccine and clearly if you are giving the vaccine right now to children you would not be giving it to adults who were at higher risk. Thank you. The delta or so called indian Variant Of Coronavirus is believed to be fuelling a third wave in The Uk, with not only cases but also Hospital Admissions rising. It comes as the latest official figures suggest that covid Infection Rates have gone up. An estimated one in 640 people are believed to have had the virus in england over the week to the 29th Of May up from one in 1,120 the previous week. There has also been an increase in the number of people testing positive and wales and scotland. Professor David Heymann is from the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine, he coordinated the World Health 0rganisation response to sars, which was caused by a type of coronavirus. I asked him how Big A Stumbling Block the variants are, to us getting out of this. When you are talking about the virus it is only one third of the issue to discuss and viruses can mutate and become more transmissible almost and become more transmissible or less transmissible and it appears the India Strain is more transmissible, the variant is more transmissible, however Transmission Depends also on people and how people interact with Each Other so if people are not following the guidelines to stay at least a metre apart they will be at risk of increasing transmission of that variant. It takes people to increase transmission and the Problem Today is many people do not understand clearly how to prevent transmission. Governments have been doing it for them and the Past through lockdown, they have not had to do their own Risk Assessment and determine whether or not they need to either protect themselves or others. The third factor of transmissibility is the immunity in the community. Whether or not people who have had infection in the Past and those who have been vaccinated are actually protected from the Variant Strain which appears is happening now, it is the virus, the strain and the variant has not escaped Vaccine Protection nor has it escaped natural immunity. Those are the factors playing together which will determine what will happen in the Future. Is there any situation where life simply will not ever go back to what it was before, we have to live with this . It will be with us and there has been a lot of discussion at who about whether countries should vote to our Control Programme should move to a Control Programme rather than continuing Emergency Pandemic Response and a Control Programme would be watching the virus, especially those populations that are vaccinated and if they began to have breakthroughs of virus in vaccinated people then that has to be a reason for that, either the virus has mutated and a variant is escaping protection or for some other reason people are not remaining protected. It is really important now to set up programmes that will be long term, monitoring the virus and countries. Monitoring the virus in countries. Thank you. Portugal and members of the Travel Industry have reacted angrily to the government� S Decision to remove the country from the green travel list. Ministers say they know holidaymakers may be disappointed, but they� re concerned about a new Covid Variant linked to nepal. Holiday makers in portugal now face a race against time to book Covid Tests and flights home to beat the mandatory Quarantine Period that will come into force next tuesday. Airlines are putting on extra flights to get tourists back to england. Our Business Correspondent Katy austin reports. Today, the news that portugal is heading off the green list was sinking in. It meant a sudden change of plan for some travellers. We didn� t want to cancel our holiday so last year two of our holidays got cancelled so we were really looking forward to this one, as soon it got put on the green list, booked it, and then yesterday we found out it was amber. Got the kids in the car, just waiting for a test. Simon and his family are in the algarve visiting their villa. He is desperately searching for a Covid Test Appointment so that they can fly home early tomorrow. We� ve got to get back before tuesday so that i don� T Quarantine for ten days. I run my own business so i need to get back and i� ve got meetings et cetera. For many businesses in portugal, yesterday� s news was a huge disappointment. ThiS Decision will cost me a lot of money, because we have took the decision because of this Travel Possibilities to portugal in june for The Uk customers, we reopened hotels, we have already some cancellations during Yesterday And Today in the morning, but i believe more will come. No new countries were added to the green list yesterday. Portugal left that category and became amber with a requirement to self isolate at home for ten days upon return. It� s not illegal to travel to these places but the government� s told people not to go to them on holiday. Seven more countries were added to the highest risk red list, which means returning Uk Residents must pay to quarantine in an approved hotel. The government said portugal� S Change of status was necessary. We saw a very significant rise in positivity in recent weeks, in fact it has doubled in portugal in three weeks since the last review point, to take it to a much higher level than we see here in The Uk. We� ve also seen a further mutation emerge, become prevalent, within portugal. But there has been outcry from the Travel Industry, already reeling from more than a year of restrictions, ryanair condemned the decision and questioned its scientific basis. The feedback is that most of them are still going to travel, most of them have already been vaccinated, and if they have to comply with the quarantine on the way back, i think they will, but a lot of the Customer Feedback we had last night is that they are going for two or three weeks to portugal and they believe that portugal will be back on the green list by the time they return. British airways and easyjet have put on extra seats to help brits get home ahead of a change that has taken both businesses and passengers by surprise. Katy austin, Bbc News.

Two Police Forces agree to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster. Health ministers from the g7 nations are meeting in oxford, to discuss global Health Security amid the coronavirus pandemic. Led by The Uk� s department of health and social care, the summit will also focus on the development of vaccines. Earlier i spoke to dr clare wenham, an assistant professor in global Health Policy at the London School of economics, and she gave me an update on the global roll out of the vaccine. We have seen some interesting developments and the last week, for example the biden administration announced they would make a significant increase in the contribution and voluntary donations of vaccinations elsewhere in the world but we still seem to be reaching this roadblock about waving ip and allowing me the full domestic Production And Technology transfer of the patent is to develop vaccines elsewhere in the world to ramp up production so we are still looking at this voluntary Contribution Model rather than actually developing low cost vaccines as soon as possible. You often hear messages like we are only as strong as the weakest link around global health and yet how everyone seems to believe in that it does not seem to becoming true in practical terms. Exactly, a lot of chat about solidarity but what our government is demonstrating and the g7 governments are demonstrating as we are not in this together, the g7 nations are continuing their Vaccination Programmes, we have seen today The Uk has now permitted teenagers to get vaccinated and we are doing this at a point where parts of the world simply have not got any vaccines are not be able to get even a small fragment of the population vaccinated this year. We are seeing these gross inequities which you could argue at the very which you could argue are the very opposite of global solidarity they are trying to Push. On that, we have had the approval for 12 15, that has not been a policy decision, would you expository say we should not you explicitly say we should not rort out to that Age Group and instead divert resources to elsewhere. It is a very difficult decision, i am not a politician nor an expert in vaccines but i think what is important as we know there are huge parts of the world that are simply not able to access vaccines, either priced out of the market or there has not been enough supply coming through or as we are seeing an africa the issue has blocked exports so they are unable to deliver on supply promised. It is a problem around the world as new variants and the virus continues to spread. We have had the g7 talking, is that a Sense Something could be built on in terms of working to combat the various elements of the pandemic, will we look back and say we have learned quite a lot . I hope so, it is the idea of a Pandemic Treaty this week so getting governments around the world led by the g7 and who to make a political commitment to not letting this happen again in Future and demonstrate and put legal requirements on countries to make sure we are sharing Vaccine Information and improving Surveillance Capacity so this does not happen in the Future. It is at the early stages, the who has set up a meeting of the Health Assembly to take this forward in november, there is a lot of opportunity for countries not to agree to it or agree to parts of it which might lead to a hodgepodge but the sentiment is there. Thank you. Sirjohn major has urged borisjohnson to let compassion prevail and honour his commitment to spend 0. 7 of national income on foreign aid. The former conservative Prime Minister said in a statement he said he strongly supports britain maintaining the statutory promise to commit 0. 7 of our gdp to overseas aid. The former conservative premier said he does not believe it is morally defensible for The Uk to ease its own financial pressures at the expense of some of the world� s poorest and most vulnerable people. He urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to let compassion prevail and honour his commitment to spend 0. 7 of national income on foreign aid. And the former pm added only then can we re establish ourselves as a nation that keeps its word, and begin to repair our reputation as a global force for good. 0ur political correspondent Helen Catt is in westminsterfor us. Opposition to this movie growing. Yes, you have got these comments coming from a former Prime Minister, to explain what this was, it was announced last november by the chancellor who said the government would cut the aid it sends abroad from 0. 7 of national income to 0. 5 and that would take effect from this financial year. What that means in terms of money is a cut of around £4 billion and it gets spent on things like girls� education, clean water, reproductive health around the world. When it was announced there was quite a backlash, the Un Secretary general described it as a Death Sentence so there was a backlash, did not have to go to parliament because even though this was a target set out in law, the 0. 7 , borisjohnson believed there is an exemption within that four extraordinary circumstances and the government has been clear they believe this is a temporary cut to do with the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic. But there was some unhappiness in parliament and on monday a group of mps is going to try to put forward an amendment to try and reinstate the aid to 0. 7 . That is being backed by more than 30 conservative mps including another former backed by more than 30 conservative mps including anotherformer prime Minister Theresa may. There is no certainty this will get picked but if it does looks like it will have some strong backing. This is all thrown into sharp Relief And Focus by the fact there is the g7 happening next week. What the government would say is The Uk is still one of the largest donors of aid around the world and it will still be sending tens of billions of pounds of aid abroad this year. If the amendment gets picked, what to think the chances out of it actually getting through . There is a sense of confidence on the back benches, some pretty strong names amongst conservatives to have said they would support it, theresa may, the former deputy damian green, other former deputy damian green, other former ministers and chairs so quite influential mps backing it. They would need to get more than 330, not enough to overturn the government majority, they would need more than that but it would close. Thank you.

Two Police Forces are to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster. The South Yorkshire and West Midlands forces agreed the settlement earlier this year following a civil claim. Nobody has ever been convicted over Police Actions following the disaster, in which 96 liverpool fans died at a 1989 Fa Cup semi final. Dan johnson reports. The double injustice of the lives lost at hillsborough and the attempt to deflect the blame from the police has now resulted in an agreement to pay damages to more than 600 people over what the victims� families have always considered to be a Cover Up. The forces have agreed to pay compensation to those who are the victims of the Cover Up which was perpetrated after the Hillsborough Disaster way back in 1989. It is a measure of people accepting that there is some Element Ofjustice in the system, but it still lacks complete accountability as far as many of those who suffered are concerned. South Yorkshire Police was in charge that April Day in 1989 when 96 liverpool fans were crushed to death. In 2016, the force said sorry. I want to apologise unreservedly to the families and those affected. More than 100 officers� statements were changed during the investigation overseen by West Midlands police. Now it and the south Yorkshire Force both reached a settlement for alleged misfeasance in a public office. Last week, two former senior south Yorkshire Officers and the Force Solicitor were cleared of perverting the Course Ofjustice because their work was deemed to be outside the judicial process. There were calls for a change in the law. This takes us back to the Hillsborough Bill that we need to turn into a Hillsborough Law because that would place a Duty Of Candour On Public officials when they are dealing with those inquiries. It would require full transparency. The level of compensation hasn� t been detailed, but one of the legal firms said this now marks the end of an unparalleled fight for justice. Dan johnson, Bbc News. And as dan explains, South Yorkshire Police have issued an apology this lunchtime. The force says in a statement we acknowledge serious errors and mistakes were made by South Yorkshire Police, on the 15th Of April 1989 and during the subsequent investigations. It says actions on the day of the disaster tragically led to lives being lost and many being injured. The forces� subsequent failings caused huge distress, Suffering And Pain both to the victims and their families. This is something South Yorkshire Police profoundly regrets. The candour in that statement along with the compensation in this agreement is something that will be welcomed by the families but on both counts for so many of their families this has all come too late. Also a statement from West Midlands police saying we deeply regret the Harm And Distress caused to those affected by the tragedy and although it cannot make up for their suffering working with South Yorkshire Police we have agreed a scheme to compensate those affected and she although thank the families for the dignified way they conducted themselves. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. So far the weather has been a little mixed today. Sunshine but also some quite heavy rain across the South East. You can see on the radar the rain spreading from south moving northwards, and i think the second half of the day will be cloudy and damp if not wet across some South Eastern areas, but many parts of the country, across central and western areas, will have a mostly sunny day and a clear evening. That is how it is looking through the night. Clear skies across many parts of the country but in the South East there is the cloud and rain. 0vernight lows, a little bit of a Nip In The Air in north Eastern Areas, 6c in newcastle, more like 10 13 in the south. Tomorrow, a much better day in the South East after the Rain Today but we get a few showers into South Western england, maybe wales, and also showers for Northern Ireland into western scotland, but temperatures into the low 20s for the most part.

The Variant Of Coronavirus first identified in india is now the dominant strain in The Uk and there� s concern that cases are rising. Two Police Forces agree to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster. Sport and for a full round up from the Bbc Sport Centre here� s sarah mulkerrins. Good afternoon. To the French Open, where the three time champion Serena Williams is on court right now at rolland garros. She� s up up against fellow american danielle collins who� s ranked 50th 42 places below williams. Serena will be pleased with her first set won it 6 4, not much sign of rust, having not played a lot since the australian open. She broke collins in the first game of the second set but since then collins has raced into a 3 1 lead in the second set so she is now leading, i think it might be 4 1 now, in the second set. Williams� side of the draw has opened up as earlier today, the third Seed Arina Sabalenka went out beaten by russia� s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in three sets. Sabalenka� s defeat means six of the top ten seeds are now out of the tournament. No problems for Alexander Zverev in the men� s draw. He� s eased into round four, beating Laslo Djere of serbia in straight sets. Following a number of protests, fans at manchester united appear to have made their voices heard as the club have revealed plans to create a fan advisory Board And Share scheme.

To formula one where the Singapore Grand Prix has been called off this year because of Travel Restrictions in the City State amid the coronavirus pandemic. Both formula 0ne� s Governing Body and the singapore authorities agreed it would not be possible to hold the race which is scheduled for the first weekend in october. It� s understood turkey, china and a second race at austin in the usa are all under consideration as replacements. Well, on the track, there� s been more frustration for Lewis Hamilton ahead of this weekend� s azerbaijan grand prix. The World Champion struggled for pace in second practice. He could only manage 11th on the timesheets while his Mercedes Team Mate Valtteri Bottas was 16th. Red bull� s Sergio Perez was quickest, just ahead of his Team Mate Max verstappen. Now to the news that the 0lympic100 Metres Hurdles Champion, Brianna Mcneal, has been banned for five years for an Anti Doping rule violation. The Athletics Integrity Unit said the american had been sanctioned for what they call tampering within the Results Management Process. The 29 year old won gold at the 2016 Rio Games and was World Champion in 2013. Mcneal has appealed to the Court Of Arbitration For Sport and will know the outcome before the olympics and has been granted permission to take part in the american trials for tokyo later this month. Britain� s Tayo Gaygan Hartjust missed out on winning stage six of the criterium du daupine.

That moves him up to fourth overall 13 seconds off the new leader alexey lutsenko. And play looks unlikely at lord� s with persistent rain on day three of the first test between england and New Zealand. You can watch highlights of yesterday� s play on the Bbc Sport Website and app. But that� s all the sport for now. Coronavirus cases in scotland have more than tripled over the Past month with today� s Case Numbers at the highest level since february according to the scottish government. But first minister Nicola Sturgeon said there are now strong indications that vaccines are weakening the link between new cases and hospitalisations. Speaking at her regular News Briefing in edinburgh Ms Sturgeon confirmed another 992 positive cases with two more deaths in the Past 24 hours. You can clearly see from the Figures Today that we are at a very criticaljuncture right now, in what we still hope, still very much hope and believe, is a transition to a less restrictive way of dealing with covid, but the position we are in at the moment on that transition is a fragile one and that will inform my Comments Today and the tone of the comments i want to make. 0n the downside, as we can see, cases are rising again, and they have more than tripled in the last month, and today more than 900 cases have been reported, the highest number of new cases since the 17th of february. The R Number is now estimated to be above one and indeed many experts believe that Notjust Scotland, but The Uk, is now at the start of a third wave of covid. Underlying this and indeed driving all of this is the new Delta Variant which now makes up the majority of all new cases in scotland. This variant is thought to be quite significantly more transmissible than even the Kent Variant we dealt with at the turn of the year. As you may have seen reported, there is early data suggesting that, all else being equal, it may increase the risk of hospitalisation. Hopefully vaccines are reducing overall the risk of hospitalisation but even if it is a lower risk, the early data suggests the new Delta Variant has a higher risk than the variants that went before. It is important to say that that is something that is still under investigation and what has been reported in the last 24 hours is early data. All of that, obviously, gives cause for concern. Right throughout this i have never tried to shy away from saying to you when we are in a period that should make everyone Sit Up and remember that this virus is not done with us yet. That said, there is an upside as well, and it is an upside that we did not have at the start of the first wave or even at the start of the second wave, and that is, of course, the vaccines. We do need to analyse the data on an ongoing basis so again a bit like the data on hospitalisations, it is too early to be definitive, but the strong indication that we have so far is that vaccines are weakening the link between rising cases and cases of hospitalisation and Intensive Care and people dying. Glasgow is set to enter level two restrictions tomorrow, but today the first minister urged people to be careful and stay outside where possible. Glasgow has had the toughest restrictions in place the longest is going into level two tomorrow and that is possible because of the collective sacrifice of people in the city and the massive public Health Effort that is still ongoing had stabilised the situation. Being able to visit family and friends or have a drink in a pub will be a great relief to people in the city. It� s eight or nine months since visiting family and friends indoors has been possible and as someone who lives in glasgow i know how difficult that has been, but please, still be careful. Case numbers are still high, so again, stay outside as much as you can. The wales first Minister Mark Drakeford has confirmed wales will move to alert level one from monday allowing up to 30 people to meet outdoors. He stressed that the backdrop to this latest review was the rise of the Delta Strain of coronavirus in other parts of The Uk. From monday next week, up to 30 people will be able to meet indoors, and that includes indoor hospitality, Public Spaces and private gardens. 0utdoor events and organised activities will be able to take place with a maximum number of 4000 people in a standing venue, and 10,000 people when they are seated. But i must make this very clear, those are maximum numbers. All organisations arranging such events must carry out a Risk Assessment of the specific venue to make sure that it is meeting the requirements set out in regulations to take the measures necessary to prevent the spread of the virus. Over and above what we have offered in terms of Easing Restrictions outdoors from monday, we will also be able from monday to increase the number of households who can come together to form an extended Household And Support bubble. Until now only two households have been able to come together, but from monday that number will increase to three. I know that will be welcomed by many families right across wales. The Uk Government has secured a new Trade Deal with norway, Iceland And Liechtenstein which it says will boost critical british sectors like the digital and food industries. The international trade secretary, Liz Truss said the deal will be a major boost for the four nations. The department for international trade says the agreement means tariffs will be significantly cut for exporters on some british food products. And in what the government say is a world first in a free trade agreement, the deal includes caps on mobile operator charges for international roaming. Thousands of police have been patrolling the streets of Hong Kong to stop people commemorating the anniversary of the 1989 massacre in beijing� s Tiananmen Square. The authorities have banned vigils for a second year, citing coronavirus restrictions. There are reports that one activist has been arrested. Earlier today, one of the organisers of the annual Candlelit Event in The Park, Chow Hung Tang was detained by police. From Hong Kong, here� s Lam Cho why of the bbc chinese service. For the Past three decades, Hong Kong� s Victoria Park has been turned into a sea of candle lights on the 4th ofjune. It was the only place on chinese soil where large scale commemorations of the Tiananmen Square crackdown were allowed. For the Past two years, it has been banned due to covid restrictions. But critics say the tradition� s long Future'>Term Future is under threat. Another sign of beijing� s tighter control over Hong Kong. Here is the Victoria Park where the annual Candlelight Vigil takes place. We can see heavy police presence. A large part of The Park has been blocked. It is obvious the authorities don� t want people to gather this year. Chow hang tung has helped organise the vigil for the Past five years. Today, she was arrested near her office by Plainclothes Police officers and accused of promoting unauthorised assembly. A charge that could see her face time in prison. We spoke to her only days before her arrest. Translation | am prepared to be arrested. This is how Hong Kong is now. If you fight for democracy under an authoritarian regime, being arrested is unavoidable. Many of her fellow activists who organised the vigil are now in jail. She has reluctantly become the public face of the pro democracy Hong Kong alliance. Ifeel a bit lonely because many of my fellow activists are now behind bars. Under the national security law, there is now deeper meaning to commemorating june 4th. Do we dare to come out . Do we dare to protect the candlelight at Victoria Park . As long as we don� t give up, there are still hopes Hong Kong people can protect our freedom. The authorities have been cracking down on civil liberties. Miss chow� s arrest is yet another example of the growing intolerance of dissent. The headlines on Bbc News.

Havoc for holidaymakers and businesses portugal and the Travel Industry react angrily to the government� S Decision to remove the country from the green travel list. Two Police Forces agree to pay damages to more than 600 people following the Hillsborough Disaster. 77 years after the campaign that was to become the Turning Point in the second World War a memorial to the 22,000 service men and women who died during the D Day landings will open. The british Normandy Memorial which over looks Gold Beach the Landing Zone for thousands of allied soliders will be officially opened on sunday. Covid restrictions mean veterans and the families of some of those who died, and who� ve raised Tens Of Thousands of pounds towards the cost of the memorial won� t be able to attend in person. John maguire has been speaking to some of them. Ken peppercorn was born and raised in cambridgeshire but was serving with the Royal Scots when he landed in normandy on D Day. It was all life jackets, soaked in blood and the sea was all red with blood and that really, you know, put you off a bit, but i thought to myself, well, i� m here, i� ve got to keep going. He was just 22 years old when he attempted his first precarious steps on to what was codenamed Gold Beach. Along with the veterans, families of those who fought and died liberating normandy will attend the commemoration at the national Memorial Arboretum in staffordshire. They� ll watch a Video Link from france as the Normandy Memorial has its official opening. Chris bates will be there. His uncle sidney, nicknamed basher, is the only Victoria Cross Recipient featured on the memorial. A brave man, like all of them are. They were all brave men, whether they win a medal or not. Two or three times a year, i spend a weekend or a week if i can, over there, travelling around, pay my respects, just so that our lads are being visited. It gets a bit emotional, you know . Thats how it is. There is a lot of young men out there, so i think its good that we should remember them and keep visiting them, wherever we can. Here at The National Archives are the original wartime documents a valuable resource that formed just part of the research by Jane Furlong who spent more than nine months determining and double checking every single name on the memorial. The Memorial Itself is ordered by date, so that what you can do as you� re going around the Memorial Itself you can follow the tide of battle, so you will see, naturally, the 6th ofjune, huge numbers of casualties on that day. But then, as you go around the memorial, you will see other elements of some days were quieter than others, some days there were more casualties, but as you� re walking around, you can get sort of a visceral feel for that, as you� re physically walking around it. Those not on the walls, the ones who made It Home, were fortunate, says eric strange. He was a young Sub Lieutenant in charge of beach landing craft. It was very rough, actually, on the 5th ofjune and 6th, very rough. I got picked up and dropped off sword beach. The rest of the lads had to go over on their own steam, which was a bit naughty that night, 40 foot open barges, as it wasnt a quiet evening at all, very rough sea. It was a hell of a thing to happen, so it is something that you keep in your mind, in a way but it was all a long time ago. Such was the scale of D Day, the brutality of war, and the loss of so many on both sides, including civilians, those who survived say they do feel lucky, and, to this day, talk of the duty they feel to tell the world of their experiences in an attempt to prevent such loss of life from ever happening again. John maguire, Bbc News. The royal ballet in london will welcome visitors back this evening with a brand new show. For its two principal dancers, the last 14 months have not been easy whether it� s rehearsals on Zoom Or Dancing in their kitchens. They� ve been speaking to the bbc about the excitement of getting back on stage. My name is yasmine naghdi and i� m a principal with the royal ballet. My name is vadim muntagirov, and im a principal dancer with the royal ballet. It was definitely a shock to the system. We were going 100 miles an hour, we were doing performances of swan lake, we were all gearing up to our shows in the run, and from one day to the next, we were told not to come in to the opera house. So, i think a lot of us thought this would last a few days, and ultimately it lasted a lot longer than a few days. But arrangements were made very swiftly. We were transferred to zoom, the wonderful world of zoom, so we were doing pilates, strength training, ballet class, daily on zoom. For me it felt like i was on standby for a year, because no one knew how long it will last. Basically, i kind of sacrificed myself to rehearse, to practise, by myself, in the kitchen, at home. So, i didnt go to see my parents for a whole year. If i knew that it would last for more than a year, maybe i would use this year slightly different. We opened and closed on the same day in november, then we managed to do a covid special nutcracker, and that i managed four performances. So, itsjust been such a thrill now, it would be hard not i to have a tear in your eye when you see the beauty| of those people just dancing on stage to live music, i next to your friend, how amazing will that be . We are both performing in apollo, which is a fantastic Balanchine Work that he created many years ago. So, it� s been amazing to feel an audience back in the house, although it feels a little lighter than usual, because we are at 40 capacity. But better that than nothing. Now for one Woman Leicester city� s Fa Cup victory was the realistion of a promise made more than 70 years ago. Margaret angel� s Fiance Cecil popped the question in 1948 but he didn� t have enough money for a ring. He promised to buy her one if his beloved Leicester City won the Fa Cup. Sadly cecil died before the club lifted the trophy, so his son stepped in to fulfil his dad� s promise. Kathryn Stan Cheshan went to see margaret� s new sparkler. It was a long wait but it was worth it. He used to say it every time. You� ll get your ring when City Win the cup. In 1948, Cecil Angel proposed to his sweetheart, margaret. Money was tight so the deal was a proper Engagement Ring when his beloved Leicester City won the Fa Cup. I never thought i� d get one, to be honest. They got to the final so many times, and i never got my ring. Over the decades, margaret got her hopes up on four occasions but it wasn� t to be until now. So how does that hand feel, margaret, with a sparkler like that on it now . It� s wonderful. Have you taken it off yet . No. I haven� t taken it off yet. Never will. I� m not going to take it off either. Sadly, cecil is no longer around to see the Football Moment he� d always longed for, but his son, mike, decided to step in and honour a promise The Ring his mum deserves and his dad would have wanted her to have. Loved his football, loved his sport, loved cricket, rugby. Followed leicester, leicestershire in absolutely everything. Itsjust a matter of whether were all alive for Leicester City to win it. Yeah, theyve made it. 73 years later, but theyve done it. Last week we told the Angell Family Story and it turned out a certain Football Club was watching. They decided margaret should have another surprise. Hello, margaret. Ive got something really special to hand over to you. I think you probably know what this is, dont you . L that� s beautiful. I� ve been waiting for this for a long time, so thank you all. They� ve made my dream come true. Fantastic. I didnt imagine anything like this would happen. But to have the Fa Cup in your garden with your mother and just looking at a 96 year old with a big grin on her face. For a Football Club still basking in Fa Cup glory, this has been a cherry on the cake. One of the best ones, presentations, ive ever done, and believe you me ive done a few over the years. But for margaret, fantastic. What a beautiful story i think if wed have known margaret had been waiting we might have done it quicker. And for margaret, this was the fulfilment of a Life Promise and the ultimate way to honour the man who made it. I� m sure my husband is up there feeling very happy with himself. Kathryn stanczyszyn, Bbc News. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. The Weather Outlook is looking pretty good for most of The Uk in the coming days, and the weekend is certainly looking largely dry, warm sunny spells and the fine early Summer Weather will continue into next week as well, but at the moment it feels like the early start to summer has come to an abrupt end across the South East. Cloud spreading in, rain bearing cloud, but they will be shearing off into the North Sea during the course of today. Still some rain around in the South East through the course of the evening but elsewhere in The Uk after all of that sunshine we have a fine evening and a bit of cloud, maybe showers flirting with Northern Ireland and western scotland, and they will continue to do so through the night. A lot of clear weather in the early hours of saturday and then the South Eastern portion of The Uk still waking up to the remnants of today� s rain. Six in newcastle and 13 in london, most of us somewhere in between. The Weather Map for saturday, in between weather systems, one across ireland and another one in central parts of europe, so most of us should have a fine day. 0ne Weather Front here will bring cloud and spots of rain and may be heavier bursts of rain to the South West of england. Possibly wales. Showers for Northern Ireland and scotland but a much better day further east tomorrow. More sunshine around for norwich, for example, and london. Sunday morning, lots of sunshine around, Weather Fronts out at bay, you can see in the north atlantic. Pleasant breezes, a nice day, and i would not rule out a shower but for the vast majority of us it is a dry sunday with temperatures into the low 20s in southern and central areas, the middle or high teens in the north. Monday, High Pressure over The Uk. The possibility of a few showers across Eastern Areas especially, but the broad message is we will see warm weather spreading in from the south and you can see right into scandinavia, as well. As far as the outlook is concerned, if anything, over the coming days, temperatures will be rising nationwide and we are talking generally dry weather. Goodbye. This is Bbc News.
