In an exclusive interview with the bbc, the Countess Of Wessex speaks of the impact of the duke of Edinburghs Death on the royal family. It was an � oh, my god moment. So i think theyll come and go. But you have to let them come and let them go. And im as the bbc continues its look at the Covid Impact around the uk. Im look at the Covid Impact around the uk. Im Annita Mcveigh in lincoln on the East Coast of england as the bbc continues its look at the Covid Impact around the uk. Hello and welcome if youre watching in the uk or Around The World. The bbc understands that Covid Vaccinations are to be made compulsory for Care Home Staff in england who work with older people. Its expected that workers will have 16 weeks to get a jab, or face losing theirjobs. Ministers are said to be concerned about the low take up of the vaccine in some areas, and consultations will also start on bringing in the same rule for other Health And Care staff. The decision is expected to be announced in the next few days. James reynolds reports. Staff in adult Care Homes look after the people most likely to die from Covid 19. More than 80 of workers have already been vaccinated. The rest now face a choice get the jab or give up theirjob. The government says the move to make vaccination compulsory will save lives. It says there is precedent for this. Surgeons, for example, are required to get the hepatitis b vaccine. But for some in the social Care Sector, an ultimatum is simply too blunt. We absolutely agree we would like to see everybody vaccinated to keep our workforce safe. That includes any visitors coming into our services, any professionals coming into our services. We would like to see everybody vaccinated. But we cant compel them to do it. It will be really worrying that they have been singled out, Care Homes have been singled out, and our staff have been singled out for this as a compulsory move. I think it should be rethought. But one organisation welcomes the move. In february, the Barchester Care Group announced that it would make Covid Vaccination for its 17,000 staff compulsory. In The End, around 80 staff declined. They have now left theirjobs. Weve had to make a choice between the rights of our residents to remain safe and as safe as possible, which is a legal obligation we have as a provider, and the individual rights of Peoples Choice to choose not to have the vaccine. Of course, that is a balance and we have taken advice on It And thought about it long and hard. In The End, there is an overarching responsibility for us as a provider for the safety of our residents. Care Home Staff are expected to be given 16 weeks to getjabbed. The government is also beginning a consultation into extending compulsory vaccinations to staff who work for the nhs. James reynolds, Bbc News. Earlier i spoke to our chief policial correspondent, Adam Fleming who told us about the response from the Care Sector about the change. Controversial within the Care Sector because some of the Care Companies and organisations which run Care Homes and some of the Trade Unions who represent Care Home workers say a better approach is to encourage people to get the vaccine make it easier for people to get the vaccine than making it compulsory. They say or make it will be harder to recruit people to work in Care Homes, which is already pretty difficult for some Care Home providers. However, the government says look at the evidence provided by the scientists. Earlier this year, the scientists said you need to have about 80 of the staff in Care Homes for elderly people vaccinated at least with a first dose to protect residents of the Care Homes and that is why the government is pushing ahead with this Policy Of Making Vaccination is compulsory. We understand the decision has been made, the consultation has come to a close and it will be announced in the next couple of days, with Care Home workers given 16 weeks to get their vaccination. Also reports there may have been a decision made on whether or not to vaccinate children under 18 . This is also something that has been rumbling on since the start of the year. The experts on the joint committee of vaccinations and immunisations who advise the government on Immunisation Policy have been chewing over this issue for a little while. Do you give the Covid Vaccine to under 18 . Its been a bIt Accelerated that decision now because the medical regulator, the mhra, approved the Pfizer Vaccine for 12 18 year old and so it looks like a decision will be made by thejcvi in the short term. The government has not received their advice yet, it is not in Black And White, not on the desk of ministers yet and the experts will be weighing up do you need to give the vaccine to under 18s when it is an incredibly unlikely they are going to get even a mild illness from covid . Although some do get very sick, versus the fact children still get pinged by the app and still have to isolate if someone in their School Or Nursery is diagnosed with covid and they lose a lot of schooling potentially as a result of them schooling potentially as a result. So striking that balance is what the experts are doing at the moment. But the other day at the Downing Street news conference, announcing a delay to step four, Chris Whitty said there may be a case for Vaccinating Young Children who are at risk and there the balance of risk for them might be different. It may be thejcvi advise there is no Mass Vaccination of everyone under 18 but that some under 18s still do get vaccinated. Adam fleming reporting. Joe biden will meet the russian leader, Vladimir Putin, in geneva today, for the first time since he became us president. Its likely to be a tense meeting with relations between their two countries under severe strain over a number of issues including Russias Annexation of crimea. Gary 0donoghue reports from geneva. For days hes been among friends, but now its time for President Biden to go and meet one of his foes. We shall decide where it is in our mutual interest, in the interest of the world, to cooperate and see if we can do that. And the areas where we dont agree, make it clear what the red lines are. The swiss and in particular The City Of Geneva are used to high stakes meetings. It was here that Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev began the cold War Thaw 36 years ago. With both current leaders admitting that relations are at their worst in decades, expectations for this summIt Are low. Dont expect any personal chemistry. These two have history. When the two met in 2011, then vice President Biden told President Putin he had no soul. As recently as march this year, Joe Biden didnt hold back when asked about the deaths and poisoning of opposition figures. You know Vladimir Putin, do you think hes a killer . I do. Its all very different to the last time an american president met Vladimir Putin. Donald trump publicly repudiated his own intelligence services, all of whom had concluded that russia had interfered in the 2016 president ial election to get him elected. They said they think its russia. I have President Putin and hesjust said its not russia. I will say this, i dont see any reason why it would be. Despite president trumps approach, america has slapped dozens of sanctions and indictments to senior russian figures. Something that moscow sees totally unjustified. Translation we have been accused of all kinds of things. Election interference, cyber attacks and so on and so forth. And not once, not once, not one time did they bother to produce any kind of evidence or proof. The us has a whole Shopping List of complaints against russia, from cyber and ransomware attacks on us companies and infrastructure to the Annexation Of Crimea and the Build Up of russian forces on the eastern ukraine border. But President Biden� s ambitions are likely to be much narrower than a total resolution of these major strategic frictions. Some of this, quite frankly, for Mr Biden is drawing a stark line between his approach to Mr Putin and his predecessor, donald trump. But again, thats not managing the bilateral relationship that is projecting a difference of us policy. But with chinas military and economic rise, beijing is americas biggest strategic problem Right Now, which means managing the relationship with moscow is all that really can be hoped for. 0ur Correspondent Steve Rosenberg is in geneva for us now. We think we are a couple of hours away from this meeting and it is going to be pretty tense, isnt it . We saw in that report thatJoe Biden thinks that Vladimir Putin is a killer amongst other things. Absolutely. You talk about personal chemistry between leaders and weve had personal insults here in the last few weeks and months between russia and america. This is where the summit will take place in this 18th Century Villa on Lake Geneva. The Red Carpet is there ready, the russian, american and swiss flags. We expect the president s to arrive in the next couple of hours. But yes, it will be an awkward conversation when you consider that us russian relations have fallen to their lowest point in years. However their lowest point in years. However the summit goes today, when is it whether it is a success or failure, it is already a successful Vladimir Putin even before he gets off the plane because this event gives him what he wants, a world stage, it puts him centrestage in the geopolitical spotlight and it shows rusher to be the equal of america and that is very important for the kremlin Right Now. find and that is very important for the kremlin Right Now. And that is very important for the kremlin Right Now. And that is why some Peeple Kremlin Right Now. And that is why some peeple are kremlin Right Now. And that is why some people are surprised kremlin Right Now. And that is why some people are surprised that. Kremlin Right Now. And that is why| some people are surprised that joe some people are surprised thatJoe Biden has agreed to meet him so earlier on in his presidency. You wonder what is in it for him. Well, Joe Biden wonder what is in it for him. Well, Joe Biden says wonder what is in it for him. Well, Joe Biden says that wonder what is in it for him. Well, Joe Biden says that he wonder what is in it for him. Well, Joe Biden says that he wants wonder what is in it for him. Well, Joe Biden says that he wants a Joe Biden says that he wants a stable, predictable relationship with russia. America has lots of other issues to deal with, pressing issues from Climate Change to the challenge posed by china. It doesnt want to be distracted by games, as the american Put It, being played by russia. So he wants to come here and speak to russia. So he wants to come here and speakto vladimir russia. So he wants to come here and speak to vladimir Putin Face to face and make it clear that america wants and make it clear that america wants a stable relationship with russia but it takes two to tango. Russia has to agree not to misbehave, as america would Put It. To stop the cyber attacks, to stop the meddling in elections. How that message will play with Vladimir Putin is unclear. Are there any areas that they could easily or relatively easily reach some sort of agreement . I think there are some sort of agreement . I think there are. We some sort of agreement . I think there are. We could some sort of agreement . I think there are. We could see some sort of agreement . I think there are. We could see the some sort of agreement . I think there are.

I think there is room there for some agreement but on the big issues, the Big Us russia relationship, dont expect a Big Reset In Geneva today, thatis expect a Big Reset In Geneva today, that is not going to happen. The differences are too deep, the relationship has deteriorated over many years, both countries accusing Each Other of being responsible for that. America has a long list of complaints to show Vladimir Putin but the russians are also stated at the united states that they see as throwing its weight around in the world stage. I think it is going to be a difficult conversation for sure. Dont expect any major breakthroughs. But sure. Dont expect any maor breakthroughs. � sure. Dont expect any maor breakthroughs. Sure.

Steve rosenberg, thank you so much for joining a slide from geneva. Joining us live from geneva. Researchers say they have found another life saving therapy to prevent deaths from Covid 19 exactly a year after the discovery that a cheap Steroid Drug did the same. The treatment is a potent intravenous infusion of antibodies to neutralise the Virus and costs between £1,000 to £2,000. Results from a trial suggest it could help one in three people in hospital with severe symptoms. And for every 100 patients treated, experts calculate, it would save six lives. Professor Sir Peter Horby from Oxford University is one of the trial� s chief investigators, and explains how the therapy works. We all produce natural antibodies in response to infection and they neutralise the Virus, they bind to It And stop it infecting ourselves. Infecting our cells. What this treatment is is it is basically artificial antibodies. The company has selected very potent antibodies, produced them in high concentrations and then we give them through an intravenous infusion to patients who dont have antibodies of their own. Justjudging from that data that i was reading out, it is pretty successful. It is. There were lots of questions about the likely Benefit Or Lack of benefit of these types of drugs in hospitalised patients with covid. We had thought that perhaps its a bit late for treating the Virus and that the Anti Inflammatory drugs like dexamethasone are what would work. So far, none of the antiviral drugs have been shown to reduce mortality in hospitalised patients. So we were very pleased to see the result that this drug in those who havent got their own antibody response, reduces the risk of death and also reduces the length of hospitalisation by about four days in hospital and also reduces the chances of being on a ventilator so its very good news. You mentioned dexamethasone, and that has been a revelation, the success of that drug and it is a very cheap drug. Would this be used in association with something like dexamethasone . Yes, it would. These drugs act in different ways. One is an Anti Inflammatory and one is an antiviral and the result we are reporting today is in patients who are also receiving dexamethasone so this is an additional benefit. We have seen incredible progress in terms of the vaccine. We have also seen incredible progress over the last year in terms of treatment, havent we . That is partly why the number of deaths has come down so steeply. It has been a really steep learning curve, though, hasnt it . It has and it has been quite remarkable. I mean, the vaccine has been quite phenomenal but also the treatments. The fact that within a year, from having a completely unknown Virus, completely unknown disease, we have now got three or four treatments that we can use in hospitalised patients and reduce the length of hospital stay, or reduce death. That really is a significant advance. Sir Peter Horby there. Nearly 1 nearly1 Million people will receive a Text Message advising them that they can book Vaccine Appointments and the government says all adults over 18 will be able to make an appointment by The End of the week. Lets get some more news on the Covid Vaccine being compulsory for Care Home workers, it has been reported that they face losing their jobs if they dont get the jab within 16 weeks. When i speak to someone who represents thousands of Co Workers across the Uk Care workers across the uk and is a former Care Worker herself. Would you think about compulsory vaccines . It is disappointing that this has been brought forward. Many of our members have already been vaccinated. 87 of the workforce in england have been vaccinated with at least one jab. There are still a lot of Fear And Misunderstanding about the vaccine and the Government Needs to do a lot more to inform and educate into the workforce for the reasons they need to be vaccinated. I think this is a failure on the government to understand the workforce and the need of the workforce. This isjust about workforce and the need of the workforce. This is just about fear and a lack of education and the reason why the workforce needs to be vaccinated. But reason why the workforce needs to be vaccinated. �. , vaccinated. But the reality is there are something vaccinated. But the reality is there are something like vaccinated. But the reality is there are something like 50,000 vaccinated. But the reality is there are something like 50,000 care i vaccinated. But the reality is there are something like 50,000 Care Home Staff who have not had the vaccine for whatever reason. As we have heard from some Care Home manager is, they think the onus is on Care Homes and their management to make sure their residents are as safe as possible and that means the staff has to be vaccinated and if you have 50,000 who are not vaccinated that is quite alarming. It is 50,000 who are not vaccinated that is quite alarming. Is quite alarming. It is quite alarming is quite alarming. It is quite alarming but is quite alarming. It is quite alarming but there is quite alarming. It is quite alarming but there is is quite alarming. It is quite alarming but there is also i is quite alarming. It is quite i alarming but there is also the is quite alarming. It is quite alarming but there is also the risk of 50,000 of the workforce leaving social care. It is a sector that is already struggling to recruIt And retain staff. Forcing Care Workers to be vaccinated against their will i dont think is the answer. What the Government Need to be doing is educating the workforce for reasons why the vaccine is needed. But would that chan. E why the vaccine is needed. But would that change the why the vaccine is needed. But would that change the minds why the vaccine is needed. But would that change the minds of why the vaccine is needed. But would that change the minds of 50,000 that change the minds of 50,000 people . Just an attempt to educate them or entice them . The people . Just an attempt to educate them or entice them .

The truth is we are seeing more and more people are seeing more and more people taking up the vaccine as time goes by because they have seen that the reactions and fears they have are becoming unnecessary. What we have seen from our membership is that when we have people who didnt want to vaccine the first time around, when they were offered at the second time they have taken that up because they have more understanding and have had more time to consider the risks. We have a lot of young people who have had concerns but given time they have taken up the opportunity. We will continue to say that they should not be forced vaccinations for social care. This is pushing the workforce away from social care, an area that is already struggling to recruIt And retain.

Israel says it has attacked hamas armed compounds in the Gaza Strip after incendiary balloons were launched from the Palestinian Territory on tuesday. Its the first test for israels new government which was sworn in on sunday. Courtney bembridge reports. Explosions. An israeli Air Strike once again lit up the Night Sky in gaza. This was the view from above. Its the first major Flare Up in almost a month, after 11 days of fighting ended in a ceasefire. There have been no reports of casualties in the latest incidents. The bbc� s correspondent in gaza said israeli drones could be heard overhead just after midnight. The sound of bombs and also the sound of israeli military that was flying over gaza was creating some sort of Panic And Fear for the 2 Million people in gaza. They are just trying to recover from the 11 days of fighting. And this is why israel said it launched Air Strikes against hamas targets. Incendiary balloons, sent by hamas from Gaza Into southern israel, causing multiple fires. Protesters chant. Earlier, thousands of far right israeli protesters paraded in eastjerusalem. Hamas had warned that if the event went ahead, it would be seen as a provocation. It comes just two days after former prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was ousted after 12 years in power. He was toppled by an ideologically divided coalition, including, for the first time in israels history, an arab party. This centrist politician who built the new governing coalition, israeli foreign minister, yair lapid, condemned the parade and said. His political partner, Prime Minister naftali bennett, a right wing nationalist, promised to unite the nation only one day ago. Courtney bembridge, Bbc News. The uk is Shockingly Unprepared for the rising temperatures and extreme weather caused by Climate Change. Thats the warning to the government from environmental experts. The climate Change Committee is predicting more severe heatwaves and intense rainfall than previously thought. Is the uk ready for more of this . Floods, storms and other extremes. The governments Climate Advisers have assessed whats in store for us and they are worried. They reckon the country is not properly geared up for the hazards to come. With temperatures set to rise globally and in the uk, wildfires and heatwaves will become more common, and the advisers say this Isnt Something for the distant future, its already happening here and now. We only have to look back to last summer, when we had six days in august when temperatures in the South East were 10 degrees above normal. Thats extraordinary and that impact of Climate Change hitting us now in the uk. And its going to get worse. They highlight met Office Projections for how the uk could heat up. First by 2050, in an optimistic scenario, and then by 2080, if little is done to stop the gases that are driving up temperatures. And this would affect everyone. Power supplies could become more vulnerable, the advisers say, put at risk by more violent weather just when everyone will be relying on electricity for their cars. And homes across the country will also feel the heat, literally. Never designed for temperatures on the scale forecast. And experts say many people are having trouble staying cool Right Now. Most of the people who contact us, they are just at their wits end. When its in your home and you cant escape the heat and you Cant Sleep at night. And particularly with flats in london, you are having to make a judgment between do i leave the Windows Open and not sleep because its noisy, or do i close the windows and not sleep because im overheating . Another risk is more landslides, like this one last year. So whats the Governments Response . It says the uk is a World Leader in tackling Climate Change and that its planning does take account of the latest science. But It Also says it will study what the report has to say. David shukman, Bbc News. Uk inflationjumped to 2. 1 in the year to may, as the rising cost of clothes, fuel, Food And Drink pushed the rate above the bank of englands 2 target. Inflation is now at its highest since before the pandemic. The may rise was above most economists forecasts of an increase of about 1. 8 . Rising inflation has raised fear that Interest Rates may have to increase. Liz martins is a senior economist as hsbc. She explained why the Inflation Figures are a bit higher than expected. I think the bits that people were predicting, we know Fuel Prices were a lot higher than they were this time last year. That was all in the forecast but there are additional pockets of inflation that are running higher than we were expecting. 0ne running higher than we were expecting. One example is hotels and accommodation. As you mentioned, restaurants for example are restau ra nts for Exa M Ple a re operating restaurants for example are operating with less than usual supply. They having to implement social distancing, etc. They have gone without revenues for the best part of the year. It looks like they are starting to put their prices up in response to that and as you say there is pent up demand in the economy so they feel like consumers can take it if theyjust raise their prices a little bit.

The government has insisted a new Trade Deal between the uk and australia will not harm the british farming industry. But farmers fear they may be undercut on prices and standards as tariffs are removed. The bbc� s Nina Warhurst has been to a Sheep Farm in lancashire to find out more. This is the forest of bowland, an area of outstanding beauty, as you can see behind me, and from above. This is in lancashire, the ribble valley, just near the top of pendle hill, not far from a place called clitheroe, and you might be asking why a farm like this is worrying about the Ink Drying on Downing Street. Well, this is why, this is thomas, and part of the 2,500 gang of ewes that he rears every year. This Trade Deal sounds good, we will be able to export products cheaper, import australian products cheaper, there is a tariff free cap on imports, which means a long term you should be ok. I think the challenge here is it will not be Beef And Lamb we are exporting to australia. We might be sending financial services and motor cars, but it certainly wont be Beef And Lamb. Thats the challenge. We are pretty self sufficient in Beef And Lamb for the uk and we are able to provide our customers already with good quality british food. Tve veterinary association has raised some concerns around the welfare of animals in australia. Is it not easy to track . In the uk it is quite easy to track what we do on The Farm with animals. We have Movement And Tracing systems that have stood the test of time. We know little and have little confidence in those systems placed in australia. The government would argue they havent yet revealed the full detail of this regarding Animal Welfare and the use of chemicals, for example, in what The Farms use. It is too soon to talk about that. But what they will say is when he deals like this for the Uk Economy to flourish so that families here can afford to buy your lamb and get it on a plate is of a sunday. It is not about affordability. The uk has the third cheaper Shopping Basket in the western world. So food is relatively cheap here in the uk and in abundance and it is safe and secure. Its about building sustainable Supply Chains, Supply Chains that have the Credential And Confidence of consumers, that the product is reared humanely and the environment is protected in that. Its as simple as that. I dont know whether it is something ive said but they are on their way off even the government say this deal will probably be only worth about 0. 02 of the Uk Economy, so reasonably conservative amounts and they say it is worth it because it could provide a gateway to the asia pacific Region And Post brexit striking deals like that is really important. As thomas was saying, and lots of people in agriculture are arguing, we need the detail which isnt clear yet how it will impact traders here. Thats Nina Warhurst reporting. The Brexit Minister Lord frost has said that support for the northern Ireland Protocol has eroded, as he appeared before mps this morning to be questioned over trade difficulties between Northern Ireland and britain. Arguments between the eu and the uk about the Post Brexit status of Northern Ireland have intensified over the last few weeks, with authorities in Northern Ireland struggling to deal with demand and the sheer amount of checks required on goods entering northern irish ports from great britain. Lets talk to a Chris Morris who has more on this. The whole issue flared up more on this. The whole issue flared up at the g7 between Emanuel Macron and the Prime Minister. Are there any possible solutions to this . The atmosphere any possible solutions to this . Iie Atmosphere Isnt any possible solutions to this . Iie Atmosphere Isnt great any possible solutions to this . Ii;s Atmosphere Isnt great as any possible solutions to this . Iie Atmosphere Isnt great as We Saw at the g7 and it doesnt make it easier, but there are various things being discussed behind the scenes. Unfortunately the two sides have rather different views of what should happen. The eu is suggesting a deal along the lines it has with switzerland about food. Not all the problems are about food, but most of the checks which are supposed to take place are to do with food going from great britain to Northern Ireland. A deal like it has with switzerland would mean the uk to follow Eu Hygiene rules and when they changed it would automatically have to make those changes, what is known as dynamic alignment. The eu says that would make 80 of all the checks at the moment that need to be taking place disappear. Lord frost was asked about that this morning in a parliamentary committee and said he is not quite sure whether got the number from, he is not quite sure whether got the numberfrom, but he is not quite sure whether got the number from, but Nevertheless an agreement like this, which another of the eus near neighbours has would make a lot of the problems disappear. The uk doesnt like it because we know what brexit was about, it was about following theyre not following the eus rules, so if it had a swiss Style Agreement that would make the clean break from the eu which the Prime Minister and Lord Frost wanted wouldnt really take place. It could also potentially complicated Trade Deal with the united states because if you follow Eu Rules on food it is difficult to have a Trade Deal involving food with the united states. Although it has to be said at the moment a Trade Deal with the united states is not exactly on the horizon. The Eu Saysjust united states is not exactly on the horizon. The eu says just follow our rules temporarily and you can change in the future. Lord frost made clear again this morning the uk does not intend to do that. So what does the uk think . Thats the other thing. Suggesting a slightly different type of agreement. What you could call a New Zealand style deal. Thats the sort of deals that the eu has with countries which are further away. It is this idea of equivalence. You basically recognise that your rules are pretty much the same as Mine And Wejust get on are pretty much the same as mine and we just get on with Business. Which works for countries as far away as New Zealand and canada. It might be more difficult for the amount of trade that goes across the irish sea. You also need other things, you would need deals on specific goods probably, bespoke deals, dealwith various things. The eu doesnt seem to think this would make much Difference And Hasnt according to Lord Frost, replied to what the uk has been saying about it. So what happens next . We have grace periods where various cheques dont have to take place. 0ne where various cheques dont have to take place. One of them, the famous sausage wars come on the export of chilled meats from great britain to Northern Ireland, that expires at The End of this month. If the uk unilaterally extends it, the eu is talking about the possibility of further legal action. Talking about the possibility of further legalaction. So talking about the possibility of further legal action. So we are getting to a very difficult phase and the g7 probably didnt help, frankly. And the g7 probably didnt help, frankl. ~. ,. , i. And the g7 probably didnt help, frankl. ~. ,. , ~ frankly. What do you think the Uk Governments frankly. What do you think the Uk Governments position frankly. What do you think the Uk Governments position on frankly. What do you think the Uk Governments position on all frankly. What do you think the Uk Governments position on all this| frankly. What do you think the uk i Governments Position on all this at the moment is, given all that arguing and all those potential models . It arguing and all those potential models . , , models . It is interesting listening to Lord Frost models . It is interesting listening to Lord Frost this models . It is interesting listening to Lord Frost this morning. Models . It is interesting listening to Lord Frost this morning. He models . It is interesting listening| to Lord Frost this morning. He was asked by the conservative chair of the Northern Ireland committee, essentially, the Opening Line of questioning, did you really understand what you signed up to . And of course, Lord Frost said that he did and he basically set out what we know is the basic problem. The eu says the uk are simply not abiding by the agreement and the uk is saying the Eu Need to be much more flexible in the way It Actually gets him permitted. Lets listen to what he said this morning. The way that the protocol is being operated is not, in our view, consistent with the intentions of us as negotiators. And to take one point to illustrate it in a concrete way, it is simply not enough for people to point to the provision in the protocol which says that The Union Customs Code should apply because theres also a provision in the protocol, article 6. 2, which says that everybody, both sides, should do their best to minimise checks and controls in the ports of Northern Ireland. So obviously that provision cannot be read straight. And its a Matter Ofjudgment as to whether both sides are exercising the responsibility under article 6. 2. So it is not a simple Black And White question. That is Lord Frost. All of this could come to a head as you were suggesting in a couple of weeks. Thats when this next grace period, at the moment, chilled meats, sausages, beef burgers, are allowed to be sent from great britain into Northern Ireland. Theoretically at The End of the month that would be illegal after that and the government says it is ridiculous you cannot send sausages from one part of the uk to another. The eu saying you have to abide by the rules which you have to abide by the rules which you negotiated and signed up to. So yes, the timing is very sensitive, because as you know the northern Ireland Protocol is deeply unpopular among the Unionist Community in Northern Ireland. We are about to go into Marching Season in Northern Ireland, always a sensitive time. The Dup Mp Ian Paisley on the committee this morning saying the committee this morning saying the committee regarding your protocol, Lord Frost, is a complete betrayal. So it is a sensitive moment. The government saying, well, if necessary we invoke article 16 of the protocol which means we just ignore It Altogether. The eu is saying if you do that, that is the Nuclear Button and then we start looking potentially at the road towards what could be a full Scale Trade War between the two sides with the eu looking at potentially imposing tariffs on other parts of the economy as the result of its agreement in Northern Ireland. There is a long way to go until we get to that point but it is written quite rapidly close towards it. That point but it is written quite rapidly close towards it. There are dan. Ers of rapidly close towards it. There are dangers of escalation . Rapidly close towards it. There are dangers of escalation . Yes. Rapidly close towards it. There are | dangers of escalation . Yes. Chris, thanks very dangers of escalation . Yes. Chris, thanks very much dangers of escalation . Iezs chris, thanks very much indeed. Chris morris there. The headlines on Bbc News. The bbc has been told that Covid Vaccinations are to be made compulsory for Care Home Staff in england, who face losing their jobs if they dont get the jab. Us president Joe Biden and his russian counterpart Vladimir Putin are preparing for Theirfirst Summit At a time when both sides describe relations as being at rock bottom. A warning from scientists that the uk is Shockingly Unprepared for rising temperatures and extreme weather caused by Climate Change. The distance from portsmouth to cherbourg across the English Channel is 135 kilometres. And you can do it by ferry in around three hours. But by 2025 that journey time could plummet to around 25 minutes. And the Ferry Well that will have turned into a combination of water based craft and aeroplane. French Company Brittany ferries is exploring a zero emission, battery powered concept and our Transport Correspondent Paul clifton has had the first look at a radical idea, which traces its roots back to a soviet era military craft. Here is the ambition. An all electric vessel sails out of portsmouth harbour, lifts up like a hydrofoil, then glides just above the water using the Ground Effect of a cushion of air between the wing and the waters surface. Its being developed by an american company which claims 500 Million of advance orders. Seagliders are essentially a hybrid of a boat and a plain. Of a boat and a plane. They fly like an aeroplane but they stay very close to the water. We solve both the Wave Tolerance Problem and the Harbour Operability Problem by using hydrofoils which have been greatly advanced through things like the americas cup campaign. That lets us navigate through the crowded harbours on the hydrofoil and then we take off at the periphery of the harbour. A vehicle like this is six times faster than a ferry, half the Operating Cost of an aircraft and completely eliminates emissions. Theyre calling It A seaglider. Portsmouth to cherbourg in a0 minutes. Six times the speed of todays ferries. The concept is straightforward. A battery powered sea skimming flying ferry. Whats not to like about it . Its a fantastic idea. You know, the reality is we as an industry have to look at technologies for the future. We have to look at Decarbonising Maritime Transport and we have to look at, you know, what is a visionary blue skies idea. The concept is not new. The russians built this in the 1980s called ekranoplan, and nicknamed the caspian sea monster. But only one was ever built. It hasnt worked for more than 20 years. At Warsash Maritime School where the next generation of Merchant Navy officers are trained, they already have a similar concept on their latest training simulator. Just imagine the challenge. Travelling at the speed of an aeroplane three or four metres above the water and crossing the busiest Shipping Lanes in the world, with passengers on board. I should think its really quite viable. We know that shipping creates a huge amount of greenhouse gas emission, primarily through some of the fuels used, but also through the sheer volume of shipping we have internationally. Certainly, from a technical point of view, there is nothing about it that would say it is unfeasible. I think the challenge would be to do it in a carbon zero way. Many people would see this seaglider at the slightly bonkers end of the spectrum of future transport technology. But the South Koreans have a similar concept and the idea of a high speed, low friction, low Emissions Form of transport is at least worth exploring. Paul clifton, Bbc News, portsmouth. A nine year old boy will deliver a letter to the Prime Minister this morning, asking him to help families who have to pay for Medical Cannabis to treat their severely epileptic children. Thomas Brauns Family pays nearly £800 a month for the drug for his brother eddie. Medical cannabis was legalised on the nhs in 2018, but since then only three people have been prescribed it. Ellie price reports. Dear Prime Minister, My Brother Eddie has really bad epilepsy. My Mum And Dad try their hardest for me and eddie. Tom only took three goes to write out his letter neat enough for the Prime Minister. He is nine, though keen to point out hell be ten next month. And hes got a lot on his mind. Getting a prescription from the nhs would help them a lot. Please support my family and all the other families. Yours sincerely, thomas braun. Im feeling excited to finally, maybe, help the solution to get eddie to live a better life and im feeling quite nervous as well. Because i feel like there is pressure for me on trying to help eddie. I want to only do the best for my brother and my family, and i need to do things that are probably out of my Comfort Zone but i should do them to help eddie. Eddie was born with Brain Damage following a rare genetic mutation. He has cerebral palsy, Learning Disabilities and severe complex epilepsy, and its for that he takes medicinal cannabis. He is six tomorrow, and has been on the drug since early 2017. Its not an nhs prescription, so it costs the family £780 a month. We have been lucky, weve had friends do some crazy events and raise money for us but covid has obviously hugely affected that. You know, some of the other families we know, theyve run out of money already, their kids are no longer on the product that was helping them and are doing worse for it. You know, theyre back in hospital, theyre back having lots of seizures. Another family have sold their family home. So, you know, its a very, very real crisis that we are all facing. We cant maintain private prescriptions and we need the government to act now to help us. Thomas, can you pack your bag, please . The law was changed three years ago to allow nhs doctors to prescribe Medical Cannabis. But campaigners sayjust three nhs prescriptions have been issued. Leaving thousands of families to pay for the drug privately. And thats why tom and his mum are off to Downing Street to ask the Prime Minister personally for help. Ok, im ready, coming. I want Eddie Tojust be happy and healthy and enjoy his life, and i want thomas to be able to live a life where he doesnt have to see this. And we dont want the added worry of, will we run out of money next month . Thomas has suggested doing Fundraising Events with his friends, which, again, its a lovely, incredible thing, but he is nine years old, he shouldnt be thinking about things like that. The Department Of Health told us. Uh oh, no sleep means daddys in trouble later. This family say they have that clear evidence, and hope the Prime Minister will agree. Ellie price, Bbc News.

And i had tears falling off my face as she was talking to me. I was completely silent, but i was just in floods of tears. The countess also welcomed the increased openness amongst young women in the uk to discuss the sexual Harassment And Abuse they faced. She said it was something she had discussed with her 17 year old daughter and valued the honest conversations they have as a family. She is actually quite aware of it, so we chat about it quite a lot, and particularly if ive been on a trip somewhere, she wants to know where ive been and what ive been doing. So she has a natural curiosity about it, and its easy to have that kind of conversation with her. She also spoke about the death of the Duke Of Edinburgh and the impact of grief, especially those moments that catch you when you realise he isnt there. We were lucky enough to go to scotland for half term. I dont know if you remember the photograph that i took. Of the queen and the duke . Yeah. I was pregnant with louise at the time.

And i am live in lincoln and will be talking to people involved in the Nightlife And Theatre sectors about the pandemic and what their feelings are about the future, as Bbc News continues its look at the cosmic impact the uk. Covid 19. Good morning. The bbc understands that Covid Vaccinations are to be made compulsory for Care Home Staff in england who work with older people. Its expected that workers will have 16 weeks to get a jab, or face losing theirjobs. Ministers are said to be concerned about the low take up of the vaccine in some areas, and consultations will also start on bringing in the same rule for other Health And Care staff. The decision is expected to be announced in the next few days. James reynolds reports. Staff in adult Care Homes look after the people most likely to die from Covid 19. More than 80 of workers have already been vaccinated. The rest now face a choice get the jab or give up theirjob. The government says the move to make vaccination compulsory will save lives. It says there is precedent for this. Surgeons, for example, are required to get the hepatitis b vaccine. But for some in the social Care Sector, an ultimatum is simply too blunt. We absolutely agree we would like to see everybody vaccinated to keep our workforce safe. That includes any visitors coming into our services, any professionals coming into our services. We would like to see everybody vaccinated. But we cant compel them to do it. It will be really worrying that they have been singled out, Care Homes have been singled out, and our staff have been singled out for this as a compulsory move. I think it should be rethought. But one organisation welcomes the move. In february, the Barchester Care Group announced that it would make Covid Vaccination for its 17,000 staff compulsory. In The End, around 80 staff declined. They have now left theirjobs. Weve had to make a choice between the rights of our residents to remain safe and as safe as possible, which is a legal obligation we have as a provider, and the individual rights of Peoples Choice to choose not to have the vaccine. Of course, that is a balance and we have taken advice on It And thought about it long and hard. In The End, there is an overarching responsibility for us as a provider for the safety of our residents. Care Home Staff are expected to be given 16 weeks to getjabbed. The government is also beginning a consultation into extending compulsory vaccinations to staff who work for the nhs. James reynolds, Bbc News. Kelly andrews is national Care Lead for the gmb The Union which represents Tens Of Thousands of Care Workers across the uk. She is also a former Care Worker herself. She says that there is a risk of 50,000 Care Workers leaving the profession. It is quite alarming, but there is also the risk is well over 50,000 other workforce leaving social care, and as a sector that is already struggling to recruit the staff, forcing Care Workers to be vaccinated against their will, i do not think that is the answer. I think what we need to be doing, the Government Needs to be doing, is educating the workforce on the reasons why the vaccine is needed. With me now is Susan Lord Susans Mother lives in a Care Home in leeds, which has had outbreaks of coronaVirus. Welcome, thank you very much for joining us.

There are other people who go into Care Homes, so there are a lot of nhs visitors, for example, and it seems a little bit odd that we are asking the Care Home workers to be vaccinated, whilst at the same time lots of other people go in who are not required to be vaccinated, and probably more likely to be spreading the Virus because they are visiting sick people in a variety of settings, because workers are just working on the Care Home.

It kinda feels like the government are i feels like the government are deflecting, trying to deflect the blame on two Care Workers for what happened before, and i think on the whole, that does not appear to have been the case. 0n Care Workers. It was a lack of support, really. Sending people from hospital into the Care Homes, and so on, without being tested, that must have contributed to that situation. So it kind of feels like the government is maybe trying to suggest is Care Workers are the top priority because they have not supported the Care Home did he make homes in other ways. Im not against that, im very in favour of it. Do ways. Im not against that, im very in favour of it. In favour of it. Do you feel like ou are in favour of it.

I certainly hope so, obviously. In for you and your mum . I certainly hope so, obviously. In the for you and your mum . I certainly hope so, obviously. In the early i hope so, obviously. In the early days, i think the care how my mum was in was very good, the lockdown very early, long before they were asked to by the government, and they tried incredibly hard to protect the residents, but they still had outbreaks. I think it has been difficult. There were quite long periods of time where it was not possible to visit, i was lucky because i could talk to her every day and she had an ipad, so we could see Each Other. So in that respect, when we were very lucky, i think the Care Home to the very best they could, but it was really not. I get the impression, there was not a huge amount of help. They were lucky to be part of a large group, to get ppe and that kind of thing, relatively early, but it has been a pretty awful year for everybody, i think, for the staff and for the residents. And because of the isolation that was everybody in. That everybody was in. Isolation that was everybody in. That everybody was in. That everybody was in. Thank you very much that everybody was in. Thank you very much for that everybody was in. Thank you very much forjoining that everybody was in. Thank you very much forjoining us. Present by now kobe is one of his face. We should decide where, it is our mutual interest, in the interest of the world to cooperate. And to see if we can do that. And the areas where we dont agree make it clear with the red lines, whether the red lines. The swiss and particular The City Of Geneva are used to high stakes meetings.

But with both current leaders admitting that these are years ago. But with both current i leaders admitting that these are at their worst for years, expedition follow, and although personal chemistry is not here, these two have history. With both current leaders admitting that relations are at their worst in decades, expectations for this summIt Are low. Dont expect any personal chemistry. These two have history. When the two met in 2011, then vice President Biden told President Putin he had no soul. As recently as march this year, Joe Biden didnt hold back when asked about the deaths and poisoning of opposition figures. You know Vladimir Putin, do you think hes a killer . I do. Its all very different to the last time an american president met Vladimir Putin. Donald trump publicly repudiated his own intelligence services, all of whom had concluded that russia had interfered in the 2016 president ial election to get him elected. They said they think its russia. I have President Putin and hesjust said its not russia. I will say this, i dont see any reason why it would be. Despite president trumps approach, america has slapped dozens of sanctions and indictments onto senior russian figures. Something that moscow sees totally unjustified. Translation we have been accused of all kinds of things. Election interference, cyber attacks and so on and so forth. And not once, not once, not one time, did they bother to produce any kind of evidence or proof. The us has a whole Shopping List of complaints against russia, from cyber and ransomware attacks on us companies and infrastructure to the Annexation Of Crimea and the Build Up of russian forces on the eastern ukraine border. But President Bidens ambitions are likely to be much narrower than a total resolution of these major strategic frictions. Some of this, quite frankly, for Mr Biden is drawing a stark line between his approach to Mr Putin and his predecessor, donald trump. But again, thats not managing the bilateral relationship that is projecting a difference of us policy. But with chinas military and economic rise, beijing is americas biggest strategic problem Right Now, which means managing the relationship with moscow is all that really can be hoped for. Israel says it has launched Air Strikes against hamas targets on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for incendiary balloons fired from the Palestinian Territory. Its the first major attack since 11 days of fighting between the two sides ended in a ceasefire last month. A high courtjudge in malaysia has overturned a verdict of misadventure in the death of irish Teenager Nora Quoirin in august 2019, instead changing it to an open verdict. Nora quoirin, from balham in south london, vanished from her room at the Dusun Rainforest Resort in august 2019. Her body was found near the resort nine days after she went missing. Her family believe she was abducted, as they say wandering off was not something their daughter would have done. Youre watching Bbc News. Lets talk a little more now about that summit in geneva whereJoe Biden and Vladimir Putin will discuss issues. Amongst them, the issue of ransomware, as researchers say there is extreme compelling evidence that many of the largest cyber attacks originate in or around russia. 0ur Cyber Reporterjoe Tidy is here. Welcome. Tell us more about what the evidence is indicating. For welcome. Tell us more about what the evidence is indicating. Evidence is indicating. For years now, Cybersecurity Evidence is indicating. For years now, Cybersecurity Researchersl evidence is indicating. For years i now, Cybersecurity Researchers have been poring over the tactics and techniques of these ransomware groups, and there are a few things that point to that direction, really, notjust russia, former soviet states as well, but they are saying that some of the code has been written into its a piece of software in the code, of this malicious software that is coming or using, that wont activate, it wont encrypt a network if that network is seen to be, to have a wrasse in russian Language Configuration on the keyboard. They also operate on russian forms, in russian as well. I spoke to one of the top negotiators for ransom demands between victims and hackers, he told me something interesting, which is what other people are saying as well, that the kind of discussions that take place between these hackers happen in a moscow time, between 9am and 5p a moscow time, between 9am and 5p a moscow time. They only see a breakdown in the can indications in terms of things going quiet and a slow in the Attack Pace during public holidays in russia. 50 slow in the Attack Pace during public holidays in russia. So high how widespread public holidays in russia. So high how widespread of public holidays in russia. So high how widespread of these public holidays in russia. So high i how widespread of these attacks how widespread of these attacks and what is being targeted . Extremely widespread, but nothing new, ransomware has been around for a long time, but recently, these gangs have become more organised, in the last few years, and more vicious, theyre going after big organisations and they are demanding bigger payouts. We saw in the last couple of years, but we have seen hospitals attacks, schools, universities, but it has only taken now, recently, We Saw the attack last month, on the colonial pipeline, this us east Coast Pipeline that supplies Oil And Gas along to i think it is one quarter of the country, so a major part of the national infrastructure, that was attacked and taken down for about one week. Then We Saw a similar attack on a meat supplier, very large supply of food in the us. Only now are we seeing this type of Action And Ransomware being discussed at the highest levels in these sorts of summits, so we are being very widespread activity in this area Around The World, from these very well organised gangs, demanding millions of pounds, taking out entire organisations, companies, private and public. Now, of course, the national infrastructure of the us has been hit, we are seeing these discussions taking place. In us has been hit, we are seeing these discussions taking place. Discussions taking place. In terms of those discussions, discussions taking place. In terms of those discussions, is discussions taking place. In terms of those discussions, is it discussions taking place. In terms of those discussions, is It A of those discussions, is It A criminal gangs . 0r of those discussions, is It A criminal gangs . Or is it the state . Very important distinction there because when you look at the solar Wind Attack last year, this was a large scale cyber espionage attacks. We think it was from russia on the us. That is very different to what were seeing with the ransomware gangs, they are operating and they are just trying to make money. Gangs, they are operating and they arejust trying to make money. They operate in organised criminal gangs, basically, but what researchers say and what biden will probably say to putin is that russia is fully aware that these gangs are operating in russia, and around russia, but they are not doing anything about it. These criminal gangs are operating with impunity, they are not being prosecuted, taken down, in some cases, the evidence is so compelling, in 2019, there was one Gang Called Evilcorps which was indicted, they were presented with pictures, evidence, activities of what they were doing, and experts in Cyber Security were saying that russia is doing nothing to stop that from happening. Russia is doing nothing to stop that from happening from happening. Thank you, joe, it is interesting from happening. Thank you, joe, it is interesting and from happening.

The bbc has been told that Covid Vaccinations are to be made compulsory for Care Home Staff in england, who face losing their jobs if they dont get the jab. Us president Joe Biden and his russian counterpart Vladimir Putin are preparing for Theirfirst Summit At a time when both sides describe relations as being at rock bottom. A warning from scientists that the uk is Shockingly Unprepared for rising temperatures and extreme weather caused by Climate Change. We will stay with that because. Environmental experts are warning that the uk is Shockingly Unprepared for the worsening risks of rising temperatures and extreme weather caused by Climate Change. Severe heatwaves and intense rainfall could be more common in future, according to the independent climate Change Committee, which advises the government.

We need to have interventions to make sure that we are well prepared for those that which arises, much more unpredictable climates, but it needs as always, the fans and the money, that the government puts forward, it can deal with it, in terms of devolving it to local authorities, all being well placed to know, in the Locality Locality what needs to be done, Planting Trees or restoring more tree land, and also making sure that coastal erosion does not continue, that we are leaving too much of our coastal committees being Hit Hard. £5 Billion over the course of this parliament doesnt sound like a huge amount of money, particularly bearing in mind what has been spent on Covid 19.

The government is always behind the Curve And Rossjohnson has got a good record, only five years ago, of being rubbish with Climate Change, suddenly, the Government Needs to catch up with climate understanding that this is really happening, there is a nationally serious, everything from this government is not coherent, is not thought through. And looking through the practical challenges. Some of that money would also need to go and just training the people who have the expertise to understanding what needs to be done and to creating the jobs and working together, for example, foreign education colleges who can provide the causes for what we need to make sure that we plant the right trees in the right places, there are lots of challenges out there. Fair enough, you could say, what about 20 million, but 20 billion. About 5 Billion is money that as a minimum, the government should put forward in order to address climate adaptation.

Lets return now to the news that a high courtjudge in malaysia has overturned a verdict of misadventure in the death of irish Teenager Nora Quoirin in august 2019, instead changing it to an open verdict. Nora quoirin, from balham in south london, vanished from her room at the Dusun Rainforest Resort in august 2019. Her body was found near the resort nine days after she went missing. Her family believe she was abducted, as they say wandering off was not something their daughter would have done. 0ur Correspondentjonathan head is in bangkok.

We may Never know exactly what happened, how the tragedy happened, why she went missing but at least the parents, they know there is more chance of getting the Malaysia Police into more effort to explore what evidence they have and to see if they can dig up they have and to see if they can dig up any new evidence. Researchers say they have found another life saving therapy to prevent deaths from Covid 19, exactly a year after the discovery that a cheap Steroid Drug did the same. The treatment is a potent intravenous infusion of antibodies to neutralise the Virus and costs between £1,000 and £2,000. Results from a trial suggest it could help one in three people in hospital with severe symptoms. And for every 100 patients treated, experts calculate, it would save six lives. Uk inflationjumped to 2. 1 in the year to may, as the rising cost of clothes, fuel, Food And Drink pushed the rate above the bank of englands 2 target. Inflation is now at its highest since before the pandemic. Liz martins is a senior economist as hsbc. She explained why the Inflation Figures are a bit higher than expected. I think the bits people were predicting, we know Fuel Prices are a lot higher than they were this time last year. That part was all in the forecast. But then there are additional pockets of inflation elsewhere in the economy that are just running higher than we were expecting. One example is hotels and accommodation. As you mentioned, restaurants, for example, they are are operating with less than usual supply, they are having to implement social distancing, etc. They have gone without revenues for the best part of the year, so it looks like they are starting to put their prices up in response to that and as you said, there is pent up demand in the economy so they feel like consumers can take it if they do raise their prices just a little Bit Clothing and footwear was another area. Furniture is an area of strong demand. These are areas which we call core inflation. So if we strip out all the volatile bits, the food prices and Fuel Prices that might change week to week, month to month, the core inflation, the underlying Inflation Rate has alos picked up very sharply and that is why people might start to think this looks a bit more sustainable. A nine year old boy has delivered a letter to the Prime Minister this morning, asking him to help families who have to pay for Medical Cannabis to treat their severely epileptic children. Thomas Brauns Family pay nearly £800 a month for the drug for his brother eddie. Medical cannabis was legalised on the nhs in 2018, but since then only three people have been prescribed it. Ellie price reports. Dear Prime Minister, My Brother Eddie has really bad epilepsy. My Mum And Dad try their hardest for me and eddie. Tom only took three goes to write out his letter neat enough for the Prime Minister. He is nine, though keen to point out hell be ten next month. And hes got a lot on his mind. Getting a prescription from the nhs would help them a lot. Please support my family and all the other families. Yours sincerely, thomas braun. Im feeling excited to finally, maybe, help the solution to get eddie to live a better life and im feeling quite nervous as well. Because i feel like there is pressure for me on trying to help eddie. I want to only do the best for my brother and my family, and i need to do things that are probably out of my Comfort Zone but i should do them to help eddie. Eddie was born with Brain Damage following a rare genetic mutation. He has cerebral palsy, Learning Disabilities and severe complex epilepsy, and its for that he takes medicinal cannabis. He is six tomorrow, and has been on the drug since early 2017. Its not an nhs prescription, so it costs the family £780 a month. We have been lucky, weve had friends do some crazy events and raise money for us but covid has obviously hugely affected that. You know, some of the other families we know, theyve run out of money already, their kids are no longer on the product that was helping them and are doing worse for it. You know, theyre back in hospital, theyre back having lots of seizures. Another family have sold the family home. So its a very, very real crisis that we are all facing. We cant maintain private prescriptions and we need the government to act now to help us. Thomas, can you pack your bag, please . The law was changed three years ago to allow nhs doctors to prescribe Medical Cannabis. But campaigners sayjust three nhs prescriptions have been issued. Leaving thousands of families to pay for the drug privately. And thats why tom and his mum are off to Downing Street to ask the Prime Minister personally for help. Ok, im ready, coming. I want Eddie Tojust be happy and healthy and enjoy his life, and i want thomas to be able to live a life where he doesnt have to see this. And we dont want the added worry of, will we run out of money next month . Thomas has suggested doing Fundraising Events with his friends, which, again, its a lovely incredible thing, but he is nine years old, he shouldnt be thinking about things like that. The Department Of Health told us. Uh oh, no sleep means daddys in trouble later. This family say they have that clear evidence, and hope the Prime Minister will agree. Ellie price, Bbc News.

Shes been speaking to Naga Munchetty ahead of the uns international day for the elimination of Sexual Violence in conflict. 0ur royal correspondent Daniela Relph has more. The Countess Of Wessex spoke openly about her charity work, parenting teenagers and the death of the Duke Of Edinburgh. Just before lockdown, she visited South Sudan to raise awareness of Sexual Violence against women living in conflict zones. Its a key part of her royal work. She praised the bravery of women who shared the brutality of their experience. When you hear somebody� s story of Gang Rape and, literally, physically what has happened to them, It Absolutely brings you to your knees. And i had tears falling off my face as she was talking to me. I was completely silent, but i was just in floods of tears. The countess also welcomed the increased openness amongst young women in the uk to discuss the sexual Harassment And Abuse they faced. She said it was something she had discussed with her 17 year old daughter and valued the honest conversations they have as a family. She is actually quite aware of it, so we chat about it quite a lot, and particularly if ive been on a trip somewhere, she wants to know where ive been and what ive been doing. So she has a natural curiosity about it, and its easy to have that kind of conversation with her. She also spoke about the death of the Duke Of Edinburgh and the impact of grief, especially those moments that catch you when you realise he isnt there. We were lucky enough to go to scotland for half term. I dont know if you remember the photograph that i took. Of the queen and the duke . Yeah. I was pregnant with louise at the time. And we went up there during half term. Are you 0k . Mm. And just to be there, in that place was an oh, my god moment. So i think theyll come and go. But you have to let them come and let them go. Away from the sadder moments, the countess said shed got fitter in lockdown, and the Tv Series she had binged over the past Year Line of duty. Daniela relph, Bbc News. New figures show that Uk Music generated more than half A Billion pounds in Export Earnings Last year a rise of 6 on 2019. The success of stars such as dua lipa, Stormzy And Ed sheeran means around one in ten of all tracks streamed globally is now by a british artist. Lets talk now to gennaro castaldo, from the British Phonographic Industry which carried out the study. Thank you forjoining us. So, good news for the british Music Industry. Absolutely brilliant. I think we have had many years of success, but obviously last year was a particularly challenging one but we also saw people in the uk and all around the World Flock to music like Never before, underlining how important it is. But it demonstrated the success of our industry, our labels and supporting a very talented artist all Around The World. We have classic artists such as the beatles and the stone is still doing well. And the new generation of global superstars, you have mentioned chua leeper, adele, arctic monkeys and others. But there is also another generation coming through as well. Rap artists, the like of dave, jorja smith, so they are poised to pick up the torch as it was and one in ten global schemes whereby british artists. The thing is however we have gone through this landmark which is really exciting, we believe there is a great opportunity to double our annual british music experts by The End of this decade and with support from the government we feel we can that, investing in our music schemes which is returning i think 12 to one in the investments made having tax credits here in the uk for Music Production, having something to set p production, having something to set up to support our artist, there are many things that can be done to keep this momentum going forward. Ih this momentum going forward. In terms of who is making money from it, what about the artist . You mentioned the big names and the next generation coming through and those that are hitting the big time, but there are thousands of artists out there are thousands of artists out there putting out music and cannot make a living from It And particularly Right Now when Life Music is an option for artists big and small to make money, that is currently is something that has not been open to anyone. You currently is something that has not been open to anyone. Currently is something that has not been open to anyone. You are right to oint been open to anyone. You are right to point out. Been open to anyone. You are right to point out. It been open to anyone. You are right to point out, it has been open to anyone. You are right to point out, it has been been open to anyone. You are right to point out, it has been a to point out, it has been a challenging yet vertically for the artists relying on live performance. That is also bad of the challenge that there are so many people looking to be creative and productive but what we do know is there are many thriving other streaming and the global reach it provides and the more popular you are, the more likely you are to succeed and generate very successful careers. I think that is the opportunity, to keep growing that for everyone to benefit from. For example we now have 500 uk acts that hit 50 Million streams every year so that shows you that it is growing all the time and it is a wonderful opportunity for artists. But we need to be able to keep growing that successful industry so everybody stands to benefit. Dominic cummings has launched another attack on the Health Secretary Matt hancock this morning our political correspondent Iain Watson is in westminster. He said several things. There is a massive dossier which he has dumped on his website. There are three things in particular i think that are worth noting. He has produced private Whatsapp Messages, exchanges between Dominic Cummings and the Prime Minister and each of these three Whatsapp Messages, d Prime Minister refers to Matt Hancock as hopeless and in one message he uses an anglo saxon expletive to underline his displeasure. There are some issues that are being raised, first of all he believed that the Testing Programme Wasnt good enough backin Testing Programme Wasnt good enough back in march last year at the beginning of lockdown and it was number 10 and not the Health Secretary who are driving their attempts to get Testing Capacity up. They believed at the time the government was still fixated on herd immunity strategy and therefore they were not worried about testing and were not worried about testing and were not worried enough about closing at the borders. There was another Whatsapp Message about the lack of provision of ppe as well and again criticism of the Health Secretary and what he was going in that particular area. He is also further accusing Matt Hancock of lying. He appeared before a committee of mps and he said he was always very straight with people and he said very, very bluntly when asked how he lied to the Prime Minister, he said, no, but the accusations with Dominic Cummings at the time the Prime Minister was less than satisfied and elsewhere away from the messages but in this massive dossier, he is suggesting that various functions were taken away from the Department Of Health because of how it was handling the crisis at the time, for example the Vaccination Programme and also it was number 10 driving the Testing Programme as well. In effect he was saying because of what he calls incompetence it was essential for number 10 under the bits of the Government Machine to step in. Another thing to mention in one of the messages, there was a suggestion from the Prime Minister it seems in the message that Matt Hancock will be replaced by michael gove, although that did not actually happen. Although that did not actually ha en. , although that did not actually ha. En. ,. , although that did not actually hauen. ,. ,. , happen. You mentioned Matt Hancock aaivin happen.

You mentioned Matt Hancock giving evidence to the health happen. You mentioned Matt Hancock giving evidence to the health select i giving evidence to the health select committee and that was to respond to the evidence that Dominic Cummings had given to the committee. And he had given to the committee. And he had been invited to submIt Any evidence to back up his claims to the committee if a Matt Hancocks appearance. Has he said anything about why he didnt do that and why he is putting that out there instead . , , he is putting that out there instead . , i ,. , instead . He does, he says he was worried about instead . He does, he says he was worried about revealing instead . He does, he says he was worried about revealing private i worried about revealing private Whatsapp Messages but he gives a justification for this dossier he has released today. He says effectively that other people, the Prime Minister included were spinning their own versions of the communications elsewhere and he believed that transparency is so important in the battle against covid so In The End he decided to produce these. But certainly he was criticised that we ago byjeremy hunt, one of the co chairs of the committee, to not produce the evidence at the time. Dominic cummings decided to send the Evidence Tojust cummings decided to send the evidence to just about anywhere, everyone can see it on his website. So where does it go . At the committee hearing, it was made pretty clear by the chair of the committee that the absence of evidence from him undermined in their mind the account he had given. They said they needed to see the kind of evidence to back this up so he is suggesting there is some evidence because in addition to the Whatsapp Messages, there are various screen grabs from the time the crisis was taking place, references to sage meetings, another criticism being sage were not prepared early enough for lockdown and i wasnt really a serious discussion of the options as far as advanced into the pandemic as the 18th of march. There is partial evidence to back up this claim, but that committee of mps want to go over all of this again, certainly as i know, newark State And Newark stations in particular the Health Secretary, the headliner was put on this document, is suggesting a course that.

Thank you, mr speaker. Ijoin with the premise thes remarks in relation to sir roy stone. This week also marks the fourth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower Fire tragedy where 72 people lost their lives. It is frankly an outrage that there are still more than 200 high rise flats with that style clothing. People are trapped in homes that i neither safe nor sellable. The best way to mark this tragedy is not words but with Action Marco that style of clothing. As a Prime Minister has already said, it is the fifth anniversary of the death of our dear Friend And Colleaguejo cox. She had already changed so many lives for the better. He was passionate about creating a fairer, more just world. I know she would have gone on to achieve so much more and that she would have been so proud of the work of her foundation and what it is doing in her name. Jo and i were in the same intake into this house and our children around the same age and there is not a date that goes by that we dont missjo. I speak not just for these benches but for many across the house when i say that today we rememberjo. Does the Prime Minister recognise that his decision to keep our borders open contributed to keep our borders open contributed to the spread of the Delta Variant in this country . Ida. To the spread of the Delta Variant in this country . To the spread of the Delta Variant in this country . No, mr speaker, i think that captain in this country . No, mr speaker, i think that Captain Hindsight in this country . No, mr speaker, i think that Captain Hindsight needs| think that Captain Hindsight needs to adjust his Retro Spectoscope because he is wrong. We put india on the red list on April The 23rd and the red list on April The 23rd and the Delta Variant was not so identified until April 28 and was only identified as a variant of concern on may the 7th. When he criticises his government for wanting to keep our borders just remember ability 43 times in the last five years to ensure that our border controls were kept in the hands of brussels. This border controls were kept in the hands of brussels. Border controls were kept in the hands of brussels. This is absurd. I have on seven hands of brussels. This is absurd. I have on seven occasions hands of brussels. This is absurd. I have on seven occasions at hands of brussels. This is absurd. I have on seven occasions at pmqs i have on seven occasions at pmqs raise the question of the borders with the Prime Minister. They are all marked of any transcript, all there. Time for a better defence. Your defence is as bad as you border policy. The Prime Minister talks about dates. 0n policy. The Prime Minister talks about dates. On March 2a that the new variant was reported in india. On the 1st of april, india was 0n the 1st of april, india was reporting that over 100,000 new infections were rising payday. But the Prime Minister kept india off the Prime Minister kept india off the red dust until the 23rd of april. In that time 20,000 people came into the uk from india. What on earth to the Prime Minister expect would be the consequences of that . The british people did their best by following the rules and getting vaccinated. But the Prime Minister squandered it by letting a new variant into the country. That was not inevitable. It was a consequence of his indecision. If he disagrees with me, the answer to the first question no, what is his explanation as to why britain has such high rates of the Delta Variant . What is his explanation . His explanation . There is a very sim le his explanation . There is a very simple reason his explanation . There is a very simple reason why his explanation . There is a very simple reason why that his explanation . There is a very simple reason why that uk i his explanation . There is a very i simple reason why that uk generally has a better understanding of the variance in this country and that is because we do 47 of the genomic testing anywhere in the world. I really think he should get his facts straight because the Delta Variant, as i have said, was identified in this country April The 28th and i have a document which i believe he is relying, which says it Delta Variant, published by the general secretary of the labour party, saying that the Delta Variant was identified on april the 1st. He said b1617. 2, april one, the Delta Variant. That is not the Delta Variant. That is not the Delta Variant. That is the kappa variance, it is gamma for the labour party. It is seated Around The World in 7a countries and sadly is growing. Theres a difference between those countries and this country stop in this Country Week vaccinated almost 79 of the adult population and given to make vaccinations to 56 , a would have stopped by keeping us in the European Medicines agency. The ruestion the European Medicines agency. Iis question was, what the European Medicines agency. Ii2 question was, what is his explanation for our high rates of the Delta Variant. The answer there came none other than apparently we understand the variant. The data is very, very clear. 0ur nhs has been doing an amazing job with the Vaccine Roll out but while the nhs was vaccinating he was vacillating. It is because of his indecision that our borders stay open. His indecision meant India State of the red list. Is because of his indecision in that period of 20,000 people came to our country from india. The consequences are now clear. The rates of the Delta Variant is much higher here than in other countries and we learnt today tragically once again in the highest Infection Rate in europe. We did not want to top the table again.

We took the most drastic steps possible to put india on the red list on april 23, before that variance was even identified and a big difference between this country and the rest of europe, he loves these comparisons, but the big difference is we have had the fastest Vaccine Roll out anywhere in europe. We have a very, very high degree of protection and it is thanks to the Vaccine Roll out, thanks to the fantastic efforts of the nhs, that we have now and we can continue with one of the most open economies and societies in europe and get on with our cautious but irreversible Road Map to freedom. If but irreversible Road Map to freedom but irreversible Road Map to freedom. ~ , freedom. If the Prime Minister put as much effort freedom. If the Prime Minister put as much effort into freedom. If the Prime Minister put as much effort into protecting i freedom. If the Prime Minister put as much effort into protecting our| as much effort into protecting our borders as he does coming up with ridiculous excuses, the country would be reopening next week. Even now, what do we know . It Delta Variant responsible for 90 of infections in this country. He is persisting with a Traffic Light System that does not work. It will not stop variance coming in. After so many mistakes and with the stakes so many mistakes and with the stakes so high, why doesnt the Prime Minister do what labour is calling for, drop a Traffic Light System, get rid of the amber list, secure the borders and do everything possible to save the british summer . He doesnt even know what the Delta Variant is. We have the toughest board it measures anywhere in the world and we will continue. We have 50 countries does matter we have 50 countries on the red list and if he is now saying. If he is now saying that he wants to stop all traffic, all travel to and from this country, thenIt All travel to and from this country, then it is yet another Flip Flop from the Labour Leader of the opposition, yet another totally 0pposition, yet another totally unintelligible Flip Flop. If he wants to close this country down to travel, which is what i understood him to be saying, then it is not only yet another Flip Flop but also totally pointless because we have 75 of our medicines and 50 of our food that comes in from abroad. He has to adopt a consistent position. What i have learnt, is he really suggesting that the 20,000 people who came in from india were bringing in vital medical supplies or food . It is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. We want india to be on the red list between the first to the red list between the first to the 23rd of april. If that had happened we would not happy Delta Variant here and it is as that. That we would not have the Delta Variant here. The former adviser got It Absolutely right. Fundamentally absolutely right. Fundamentally there absolutely right. Fundamentally there was no Profit Border Policy because the Prime Minister Never wanted a Profit Border Policy. The man who was in the room. It is those in hospitality, clubs, pubs, the arts, Tourism And Travel were paying the price of the Prime Ministers failure. All they ask is that they have to keep their Businesses close, then they get the support that they need. But where is it . Business Rate Relief is being withdrawn from The End of this month. That affects 750,000 Businesses. Furlough is being phased out. In wales the Labour Government has acted by extending Business-rate-relief'>Business Rate Relief for a year to provide a new support for those affected. When to do the same Businesses in england . We those affected. When to do the same Businesses in england . Those affected. When to do the same Businesses in england . We are proud at the support Businesses in england . We are proud at the support we Businesses in england . We are proud at the support we have Businesses in england . We are proud at the support we have given Businesses in england . We are proud at the support we have given to i at the support we have given to Businesses up and down the country and the whole point about the cautious approach that we are taking is to continue to support both with furlough and support your Business rates, grants of up to £80,000, the support from councils, all of that is continuing but what we are also seeing is we are seeing Businesses slowly recover and the growth in the economy in april was 2. 3 , Card Spending all the Bank Holiday Weekend 20 above pre pandemic levels. I know how tough things have been and we will not have Business throughout this pandemic, but thanks to the Vaccine Roll out, thanks to the cautious we are taking, we are seeing a shot in the arm for Business across the country and we will look after them all the way. Yet again it is not what the government has done it is what is needed now in light of the decision that was taken this week. Hospitality uk says the sector will lose £3 Billion because of the delay and that 200,000 jobs could be at risk. That is not what has been done, it is what is needed now, and the federation of small Businesses wants the government is being dangerously complacent and we have just seen an example of that, i think. We all want these restrictions to be over, for our economy to the other, for Businesses to thrive, but the Prime Minister was a decision at the borders has blown it. And the problem about the problem with everything the Prime Minister says today, at the Dispatch Box and what he muttered, is that we have heard It All before so many times. Last month, march, he said we could turn the tide in 12 weeks. Remember that . Then he said it would all be over by christmas. Then we were told June 21 would be freedom day. We are told to light 19 is Terminus Day 19th ofjuly. People dont expect miracles but they do expect basic competence and honesty. When it comes to Care Homes, protective Equipment Work borders, we see the same pattern from this prime minster. Too indecisive, overpromising, under delivering. After all these failures, and mistakes, why should anyone believe the Prime Minister now . Itruth . Mistakes, why should anyone believe the Prime Minister now . The Prime Minister now .

He says tough decision on borders, he was attacking quarantine only recently and saying it was a blunt instrument that should be lessened. What the people of this country want to see is a government getting on with the Vaccine Roll out and getting on with our cautious but irreversible Road Map to freedom. I am very pleased, we have one of the fastest Vaccine Roll out anywhere in the world, certainly the fastest in europe. It would not have been possible if we have stayed in the ema, we will not have been able to control our borders if, as the voted for 43 times, we have stayed in the Eu Stop we are getting on with the job, bringing forward 23, 24 year olds, asking them to come forward for their vaccines. I urge everyone to come forward for the second jab. I trust he has had his, and we are delivering on our commitments to the british people. Not only a great outcome at the G7 Summits this last weekend in Carbis Bay new Trade Agreement with australia and are building back better across our country. We are getting on with the job and it will be a wonderful thing if one is in his time as leader of the opposition to hear some support for what the government is doing. And some backing up for our approach. Last year, doctors issued an unprecedented number of do not to sustain orders to patients with disabilities. Many were unlawful and caused avoidable deaths. Shockingly, this practice has continued despite cdc guidance. Last week, the telegraph reported that somebody died on resuscitated. Herfamily said she was given a dnr without them knowing, and with her Learning Disabilities and schizophrenia are stated as reasons. Does the premise to share my alarm about these cases which should have no care and our care . Does he agree that they should be independently investigated . Does the prime Minister Share . I thank my honourable friend for raising this very sad case, and i am sure the whole house will be thinking of sonia and herfamily. I thinking of sonia and herfamily. I think such orders, do not resuscitate, should be made only in accordance with a decision involving the person concerned and their carers, mr speaker.

My thoughts are very much with her family, herfriends, and all those who care very deeply for her loss. As we do that, we should also reflect on what We Saw earlier this week, with the journalist Nick Watt chase through the streets of whitehall by a mob seeking to intimidate him, we must all stand up intimidate him, we must all stand up in this house for the rights of journalists to go about theirjobs safely. Good wishes to both scotland and then with the head of the Football Match on friday evening, but if i may say so, i do hope that we do not see see scotland being dragged out of the euros against our wishes. Mr speaker, as we enter the chamber, we see what is reported to be a Whatsapp Communication between the premise and Dominic Cummings, is perhaps the Prime Minister will clarify whether or not these are genuine, and whether the derogatory comments he expressed about his Health Secretary are valid or not. Mr speaker, this morning, the details of the disastrous Trade Deal with australia are slowly seeping out. It tells us everything we need to know that these details are being celebrated in canberra, but they are busy being concealed in london. For all the spin, it is clear that this tory Government Hasjust all the spin, it is clear that this tory government has just thrown scottish farmers and crofters under their brexit bus, just as they sold out our fishing communities. Their brexit bus, just as they sold out ourfishing communities. So today those with most to lose from the steel do not need to hear the Prime Ministers usual waffle. Their livelihoods are at stake, Prime Minister. Just this once, they deserve honest answers from this government. The most to lose from this deal. Can the premise to confirm that from day one of this deal, 25,000 tonnes of australian beef and 25,000 tonnes of Uk Lamb will be free to flood the Uk Market tariff free . Mr will be free to flood the Uk Market tarifffree . Tarifffree . Mr speaker, this is a ureat tarifffree . Mr speaker, this is a great Deal Tarifffree . Mr speaker, this is a great deal for tarifffree . Mr speaker, this is a great deal for the tarifffree . Mr speaker, this is a great deal for the uk, tarifffree . Mr speaker, this is a great deal for the uk, for tarifffree . Mr speaker, this is a i great deal for the uk, for scotland, great dealfor the uk, for scotland, for scottish whisky, a great deal for scottish whisky, a great deal for scottish whisky, a great deal for scottish legal services, but also for scottish farming. How absolutely tragic that it should be the posture of the scottish national party to see absolutely no way in which scottish farmers could be able to take advantage of the opportunity. What he doesnt realise is that there is already £350 Million of Uk Food going from this country to australia. This is an opportunity to Turbo Charge those exports, get beside scottish farming get behind scottish farming and encourage them, not run them down. I dont even think the Prime Minister can believe that trait. In the Tories Desperation to get a Post Brexit Trade Deal with somebody, with anybody, they have given The Farm away, literally. It is blindingly obvious who the winners and who are the losers in the steel. Australias economy will benefit to the tune of 1. 3 Billion a year. The Uk Government because my own assessments of the australian deal is worth just, and own assessments of the australian deal is worthjust, and i quote, 0. 02 of gdp. Mr speaker, you would need 200 australian deals to come close to mitigating the cost of brexit. We were told that brexit was all about taking back control, but for our farmers and all about taking back control, but for ourfarmers and our all about taking back control, but for our farmers and our crofters, there has been no scrutiny. There has been no consultation, and there has been no consultation, and there has been no consent. So if the Prime Minister as you are confident about the benefits of this deal, does he have the guts to Put It to a vote in this house . This house . The people of this country voted this house . The people of this country voted for this house . The people of this country voted for this this house . The people of this country voted for this government to get on and deliver free Trade Deals Around The World, and i believe there were totally right. He talks about tripe, i can tell him that when it comes to exporting the intestines of sheep, which i know is a valuable part of scottish tradition, even that has now been opened up Around The World thanks to the deal is that this country have is doing. And mr speaker, if he is saying that he wants to go back into the eu, and back control of our fisheries and agriculture to brussels, lose all the opportunities that this country is given, i think it is frankly out of his mind and going totally the wrong direction. And if he needs another referendum, we had one of those. Can i and if he needs another referendum, we had one of those. We had one of those. Can i ust say rentl to we had one of those.

Kevin, a Hotel Manager| and oxford, contacted me last week because he is worried, because even if this country does open up in the next few weeks, he will not be able to run at full capacity due to chronic staff shortages. Local staff are leaving the industry because of the uncertainty caused by this governments bungled handling of this pandemic. The Eu Staff have already left because of the botched handling of brexit, and he cannot recruit from abroad because of the damaging new immigration policy. This is the Prime Ministers wake up call. Oxfordshireeconomy alone the lies and the Hospitality Industry to the tune of £2. 5 Billion. Will the government introduce a Covid Recovery Visa to help kevin recruit the staff he desperately needs . It is absolutely true that as we open up is absolutely true that as we open up our economy, there are more vacancies, and that is great, but we also have large numbers of people in this country, large numbers of young people who need jobs, and large numbers of people who are still on furlough. I think we want to see those people coming forward to get those people coming forward to get those jobs, those people coming forward to get thosejobs, but of those people coming forward to get those jobs, but of course we will retain an open and flexible approach towards allowing talent to conventional forces.

Great british shellfish. The Uk Governments Trade Deal with australia has been made with no consultation, no consent, and no parliamentary scrutiny. The president of the national Farmers Union in scotland says our Seafood Industry has been Hit Hard by brexit, and now scottish farming will be sacrificed. Again, ijust got key industries which will bear the brunt of a tory brexit people in scotland did not vote for. Does the Prime Minister think these concerns from the Nfu Scotland President , does he accept them, or does he think that he knows better . You would think from us and to the snp that there was no Scotch Whisky Industry or no financial Industries Industry or no financial industries in scotland, but even then, they are missing the point, because this is a massive opportunity for the scottish agriculture sector. What they need given that overall deaths in the uk over the last few weeks are 8873 below the five year average, which includes the time the indian variant has been around, can my right honourable friend explained why, instead of trusting his world leading vaccine programme, the of the british people and his conservative instincts of freedom and individual responsible for, he instead prefers to trust people like professors at sage, long standing members of the communist party, who last week let the cat out of the bag and said she wanted some covid restrictions to last forever . Nobody, least of all i or my honourable friend want to see covid restrictions last forever, nor do i think they will last forever stop as i made clear earlier this week i think we will have a high degree of confidence that our progress, our Vaccination Programme will work, and i think we need to give It A little bit more time, as i have explained, to save many thousands more lives by vaccinating millions more people.

With permission, i will make a statement on the G7 Summit i cheered in Carbis Bay and the Nato Summit in brussels. Let me thank the people of cornwall, Carbis Bay, saint eyes for welcoming the representatives of the world . Most powerful democracies to their home. Enchanting settings for their home. Enchanting settings for the first gathering of g7 leaders in a two us, the first sense of the pandemic began, and President Bidens first overseas visit since taking office. Our aim was to devastate how they will� s democracies are ready and able to address the worlds toughest problems, offering solutions and backing them up with concrete action. The g7 will combine our Strength And Expertise to the feet will combine our Strength And Expertise to defeat covered minimise the risk of another pandemic and build back, better, fairer and greenerfor build back, better, fairer and greener for the build back, better, fairer and greenerfor the benefit build back, better, fairer and greener for the benefit of all. Alongside our partners, the g7 is now engaged programme in history, designed to protect the whole world by The End of next year. My fellow leaders agreed to supply other countries with another 1 leaders agreed to supply other countries with another1 billion doses, either directly or through other channels, of which 100 Million will come from the uk. The world . Most popular vaccine was developed here, and the deal between the british government, Oxford University, astrazeneca was to create an inauguration that would be easy to store, quick to distribute, and available at Cost Price or zero profit to protect as many people as possible. The results are becoming clearer every day. Over 500 Million oxford extras in a been administered in 168 Country so far, accounted for 96 of the doses distributed to developing nations by covax. With every passing our people are being protected across the world and lives saved by the formidable expertise that the uk was able to assemble. But all the efforts of this country and many others, no matter how generous and far sighted, would be futile in the face of another lethal Virus that might escape our efforts. The g7 has agreed to support a global pandemic radar, despite new pathogens before they begin to spread, allowing immediate containment. And in case a new Virus gets flew anyway, i was home to embark on a mission to develop new vaccines, treatments and tests in just 100 days compared to the 300 required for covid. Even as we persevere against this Virus, my fellow leaders shared my determination to look beyond Todays Crisis and build back better, greener and fairer. If we could learn anything from this tragedy, we at least have been given a chance to break with the past and i do things better and differently. This time, as our economies rebound, we must avoid the mistakes we made after the financial crash of 2008 and ensure everybody benefits from the recovery. The surest way of our future prosperity is to design fair and open rules and standards for the new frontiers of the global economy. The g7 will devise a fairer Tax System for a global corporations, to the bottom, and strive to ensure new technology serves as a 44 prosperity and hope, strengthening freedom and openness. My fellow leaders will act as one against an increasing injustice, the denial of an education to millions of girls across the world. By working to get another 40 Million girls into school by 2025. Im happy to say the g7 agreed to provide more than half of the 5 Million sought by the global partnership for education to transform the prospects of millions of children in developing countries and £430 million will come from the uk. Our duty to future generations compels us to protect our planet from catastrophic Climate Change, and every country in the g7 has promised to achieve net zero by 2050, wiping out our conservation to global warming from that date onwards. To achieve that target, we will have our carbon emissions by 2030, compared with 2010 levels. The G7 Resolve to in any Government Support for unabated coal fired Power Generation is overseas and increase and improve climate Finance Concert our land to see and nature, protecting best areas and other abundance of life, giving millions of species the chance to recover from the ravages of recent decades. And it is precisely because safeguarding our planet requires global action that the g7 will other developing countries a new partnership, the build back better world, to help construct a new and clean and green infrastructure in a way that is transparent and environmentally responsible. There is no contradiction between averting Climate Change and creating highly skilled and well paid jobs, but in our country and Around The World. We can, and will achieve both by means of a green industrial revolution at home and green infrastructure abroad. I was honoured to welcome our friends, abroad. I was honoured to welcome ourfriends, the leaders abroad. I was honoured to welcome our friends, the leaders of india, south korea, australia and south africa, as guests in Carbis Bay and virtually of course in the case of the Prime Minister of india. On monday, Scott Morrison and i were delighted to reach a free Trade Agreement between the uk and australia, creating fantastic opportunities for both our countries, eliminating tariffs on all british exports, whether Scotch Whisky occurs from the midlands, and making it easierfor whisky occurs from the midlands, and making it easier for british people to live and work in australia. We have also included protections from british farmers over the next 15 years and unprecedented protections and provisions for Animal Welfare. This house will of course be able to scrutinise the agreement once texts are finalised. This is exactly how global britain will help to generate jobs and opportunities at Home And Level up our whole united kingdom. Our agreement with australia is a vital step towards the even greater price of the ukjoining the transpacific partnership, a 9 Trillion free Trade Area embracing the fastest growing economies of the world. Together with the g7, the countries represented at Carbis Bay comprise a democratic 11. Free nations living on five continents, spanning different faiths and cultures but united by a shared belief in liberty, democracy and human right. Those ideals were encapsulated in the atlantic charter agreed by Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt in 1941 when britain was the only surviving democracy in europe and their existence of Ourfreedom Democracy in europe and their existence of our freedom was in peril. The Courage And Valour of millions of people ensured our ideals survived and flourished and 18 years on, President Biden and i met within sight of Hms Prince of wales, the royal navys newest carrier and linear successor of the battleship on which the original charter was devised and we agreed a new atlantic charter encompassing the full breadth of british and american cooperation in science, technology, trade and global security. The surest guarantee of our security is nato which protects 1 Million people in 30 countries and at the summit in brussels on monday, we agreed the wholesale alliance to meet new dangers including in space and cyberspace, reflecting the priorities of our own integrated review of foreign and defence policy. Britain has the biggest Defence Budget in europe, country exceeding the Nato Target of 2 of national income. We have committed our nuclear deterrent and cyber keep abilities to the allowance and we contribute more troops than any other country to natos deployment to protect poland and the baltic states. We do more for the security of our continent than any other european power, showing that we mean it when we say that an attack on any Nato Ally shall be considered an attack on all, a pledge that has kept the peace for over 70 years and which President Biden reaffirmed on behalf of the united states. Together these two summits showed The Enduring strength of the atlantic alliance and the bonds we treasure with kindred democracies across the globe. They provided the best policy possible foundation in glasgow in november when the uk will bring the whole world together in a common cause. They demonstrated how global britain creates jobs at home while striving in unison with our friends home while striving in unison with ourfriends for a greener, safer and fairer world. Ourfriends for a greener, safer and fairerworld. Mr ourfriends for a greener, safer and fairer world. Mr speaker, ourfriends for a greener, safer and fairerworld.

Mr speaker, it was a Labour Government and a labour foreign secretary, ernest bevan, that helped found nato and it is an alliance that labour will always value and protect. So we welcome agreement on the nato 2030 agenda, in particular strengthening natos Cyber Security capability. We also welcome the Deepening Support for ourfriends and allies welcome the Deepening Support for our friends and allies in the ukraine and georgia, recognition of the Google Security implications of the Google Security implications of the climate emergency and the first time, of the Challenges China poses to global and sterility. Of the uk and australia Trade Deal, we all want to see britain taking trading opportunities Around The World but the devil will be in the detail. We look forward to scrutinising this deal in the parliament in particular for its impact on british farmers and on food standards. Turning to the G7 Summit, this should have been the G7 Summit, this should have been the most important g7 in a generation. The first of the recovery, the first with a new us president , a chance for britain to lead the world, as we did at gleneagles in 2005, or after the globalfinancial gleneagles in 2005, or after the global financial crisis in 2009. Gleneagles in 2005, or after the globalfinancial crisis in 2009. But whether on a global vaccination, the climate emergency, middle east peace or the northern Ireland Protocol, this summit ended up as a wasted opportunity. Mr speaker, the priority for the summit had to be a clear plan to vaccinate the world. This is notjust a moral imperative, it is in our Self Interest as the Delta Variant makes clear. Without global vaccination coverage, this Virus will continue to boomerang, bringing more variance and more disruption to these shores. The World Health Organization have said that 11 Billion doses are needed, 11 Billion doses. This summit promised less than one tenth of that. No new funding, no plan to build a global Vaccine Capability Capacity and no progress on a patented waivers. Mr speaker, the headlines of A Billion doses may be what the Prime Minister wanted but it is not what the world needed. The same is true of the climate emergency. This is the single greatest challenge of the world will face in decades to come. But this summit sought no progress on climate finance, the communique speaks only of commitments already made. And of those yet to be made. There was no plan, that alone a marshall plan, to speed up cuts to global emissions. There was little in the communique beyond existing commitments. Mr speaker, this summit was meant to be a stepping stone but if anything, it was a step back. It was also disappointing that there was also disappointing that there was nothing to suggest any progress was nothing to suggest any progress was made to restart middle east peace process. A new government in israel combined with a new us president provides a real opportunity to end the injustice and to finally deliver an independent and sovereign palestine alongside a safe and secure israel. The resumption sadly of hostilities overnight shows the price of that failure. So can i ask the Prime Minister if he discussed this with World Leaders, including President Biden . The summit should also have been an opportunity to resolve, not inflame tensions over the northern Ireland Protocol. It started with an unprecedented diplomatic rebuke from our closest allies and it ended with the white house still speaking of candid discussions. It was overshadowed by the failure of the Prime Minister to make the deal he negotiated work. Starmer response into boris johnsons statement. Next, here on Bbc News, the Bbc News at one with victoria derbyshire, but you can continue watching proceedings in the house of commons on the bbc parliament channel. Now we have the weather. For some the weather is about to turn quite turbulent, especially towards the south and the east of the uk where we have had the best of the uk where we have had the best of the sunshine, pretty high temperatures as well. You can see these storm clouds drifting up across france and some are heading in our direction, particularly for southern, central and eastern parts of england, the risk of some thunderstorms and into tomorrow, torrential downpours in places, but in the shorter term there is a lot of dry weather through the rest of the day, quite cool and fresh requests across North West scotland, band of cloud bringing some rain for southern scotland, North West England and west wales but it is across eastern, central parts of england where we have the temperatures, and lots of sunshine. Quite a humid feel and into the evening we will see some of the thunderstorms creeping up drifting across the channel islands in the southern counties of england, the South East could see some intense thundery rain and then into east anglia. These showers quite hIt And miss, some places will stay dry. And further pulses of heavy thundery rain will continue to drift through during the small hours of thursday. Further North And West you will wonder what the fuss is about, lots of dry weather, clear skies, a fresh feel to the North West of scotland but it will be one towards the South East of england. Tomorrow, a good part of england will have the continued risk of heavy thundery rain, may be clipping into east wales as well. For much of Northern Ireland and scotland we will see some spells of sunshine, temperatures for many relatively cool and fresh. 23 degrees in london, is still some humidity holding on. Into friday, high Pressure Building in towards the west and the mouth of the uk so lots of dry weather to come here, the down to the South East of the potential for more pulses of heavy and possibly thundery rain to move through some of these dampers could be very heavy indeed. Temperatures of lower for all at this stage, may be 18 for norwich and london. Through the weekend, saturday the dry day, a greater chance of rain on sunday. If you work in a Care Home for the elderly in england you will have to have a Covid Jab or risk losing yourjob. The bbc understands vaccinations for Care Staff are to become compulsory. Its expected workers will have 16 weeks to get the jab. This is a really difficult position to be in and, ideally, we want everybody to be able to make their own individual choices, but i think the focus for us is that we need to provide the best protection for those people who are most vulnerable.
