Staff who look after elderly people in englands Care Homes Will have to get a Covid Jab or risk losing theirjob, the bbc understands. Ministers are expected to announce that Workers must be vaccinated within 16 weeks, and those who refuse could be moved from Front Line care. Consultations Will begin on a similar rule for other people working in the health sector. Managers of Care Homes have warned they already face problems recruiting staff. Jim reed reports.

In december, sarah, a Care Home manager, was one of the first to be given the jab in newcastle.

It is not officially confirmed yet but the bbc understands the government Will soon go ahead and make those jabs mandatory for the 1. 5 Million people working in the sector. The latest statistics show that across england, 84 of Workers'>Adult Care Workers have had one dose of the vaccine and almost 69 have had both jabs. Its Thought Ministers have particular concerns about low take up in some areas. In manchester, for example, just 73 of staff have had a first dose, with 51 a second. A Government Source said making the Covid Jab mandatory for Care Staff would save lives. Other Health Officials are cautious but supportive.

A surgeon has to have a Hepatitis B Vaccination to protect the patient so it is something we have done before. Personally, if my mum within a care setting, i would want to make sure all the people working with her had the same level of protection so they were able to protect her. But an move they were able to protect her. But any move to they were able to protect her. But any move to make the jab is compulsory Will be controversial.

The consultation Will also start on extending the policy to other nhs staff, including doctors and nurses, working on the Front Line. Jim reed, Bbc News. Our social affairs correspondent, alison holt, is here. Just how controversial is this . I think everyone agrees on the need to protect people who are particularly vulnerable, like those living in Care Homes but then there is this argument about should it be done by persuasion . Certainly that is the root many Care Providers have Been taking. It is controversial because they feel if you bring in the element of compulsion, that Will make it even more difficult to recruit staff and they really had serious problems in terms of recruitment. There are vacancies of about 112,000 people in england and the fear is they Will go somewhere else. So there is real nervousness about that and i would expect that is something that Will need to be addressed. How do you make sure you keep their workforce in place or a workforce in place in Care Homes where there are low levels of take up . You dont want everyone going. But there is generally good take up across the sector. We saw in that report, 84 across the sector, its just the patches where that is proving stubborn, proving difficult to persuade people. One of the things they care organisations are calling for a spot much more persuasion, information, answering questions and i think that the pressure if this is rolled out for consultation as we expect for health and wider Care Staff. And wider Care Staff. Thank you very much, and wider Care Staff. Thank you very much. Alison borisjohnsons former top aide, Dominic Cummings, has published what he says are messages he received from the Prime Minister, in Which Mrjohnson described the Health Secretary as hopeless. Mr cummings has blamed Matt Hancock forfailings during the pandemic, and said he should have Been sacked. Lets speak to our political correspondent, iain watson. What has he said today . There is an interestin what has he said today . There is an interesting new what has he said today . There is an interesting new dossier what has he said today . There is an interesting new dossier from what has he said today . There is an l interesting new dossier from dominic interesting new dossierfrom Dominic Cummings, effectively continuing his campaign against the Health Secretary, Matt Hancock. Last month he suggested Matt Hancock was lying to the Prime Minister over the provision of testing in Care Homes. Matt hancock of course denied that completely. What is interesting here is Dominic Cummings is claiming to have produced three whatsapp messages, exchanges he says between the Prime Minister and himself, which gives the prime Ministers View of Matt Hancock capabilities. In the first of these whatsapp exchanges, Dominic Cummings complains about slow progress in testing and the Prime Minister suggests Matt Hancock is hopeless. In fact, the Prime Minister uses an Anglo Saxon expletive to express that view. In the second, Dominic Cummings says Health Officials have Been turning down ventilators because the price has gone up and the Prime Minister seems to blame Matt Hancock himself saying he is hopeless. And the third, if these messages are genuine, the Prime Minister thinks the provision of ppe has Been a disaster and contemplates replacing Matt Hancock with michael gove. Dominic cummings suggests that might make matters even worse. Obviously this gives us again some idea of the bitterness going on in government, some of the arguments and Blame Game going on during the course of this crisis. There are a couple of other interesting things in the Dominic Cummings dossier. He suggests the Borders Policy is a joke and has allowed the Delta Variant to spread, something Keir Starmer raised today at pmqs. He suggested borisjohnson may go just after two years after the next general election. I think at the moment the pressure on the Prime Minister is to have an inquiry into how the whole of the Covid Crisis has Been handled. How the whole of the Covid Crisis has Been handled. Thank you very much. The government wants to vaccinate all adults as quickly as possible. But constraints on the supply of the Pfizer Vaccine mean Ministers Cant Speed up the process. Lets speak to our health correspondent, nick triggle. What is going on, nick . There is [en of what is going on, nick . There is plenty of vaccine what is going on, nick . There is plenty of Vaccine Doses what is going on, nick . There is plenty of Vaccine Doses in what is going on, nick . There is plenty of Vaccine Doses in the I Plenty of Vaccine Doses in the country but the problem is, it is the wrong type of vaccine. There is thought to be a stockpile of around 5 Million doses of the Astrazeneca Vaccine but the Under 40s are being given the Pfizer And Moderna vaccines, so there is plenty of vaccines, so there is plenty of vaccine available to give the second doses to people in their 40s and 50s. There is a limit to how quickly the government can vaccinate the Under 40s. We are getting around 1. 5 Million doses of the Pfizer And Moderna vaccines imported into the country each week. The government is confident about those supply lines. They believe there is enough to do the remaining Under 40s by The 19th Ofjuly but we cant start the second doses until after that. And the Pfizer Vaccine would also be the vaccine that would be used to vaccinate children, if that is given the green light. That has an implication for when that could start and how quickly that can be done. Ministers have always said supply of vaccination is the rate limiting factor and that is clear, that is more true now as we approach The End of the roll out Thanit Approach The End of the roll out than it has ever Been. Approach The End of the rollout than it has ever Been. Approach The End of the rollout than it has ever Been. Thank you very much. Than it has ever Been. Thank you very much, nick. Joe biden is meeting the russian leader, vladimir putin, for the first time since he became us president. Relations between the two countries are at their lowest ebb in decades; Mr Biden has previously described Mr Putin as a killer. Our correspondent, Sarah Rainsford, sent this report from geneva. It began with a handshake and smiles but these are adversaries, not friends. Joe biden, after all, has called vladimir putin a killer. Inside the Body Language was stiff. The us president asked for this summit toward over its malign activity. But their meeting put russias front and centre on the global stage. Vladimir putin has a long history with us president s but the relationship has gone from warm to cool, even awkward. Barack obama did try a reset but Russias Annexation of crimea put pay to that. Moscow then had big hopes for donald trump, but accusations that the kremlin helped get him elected dogged relations from the very start. Their summit three years ago in helsinki was seen by many as a disasterfor the us, as Mr Trump said he trusted Mr Putins claims of innocence over his own intelligence agents. President putin, hejust said its not russia. I Will say this i dont see any reason why it would be. Vladimir putin has Metjoe Biden before, a decade ago, when the american supposedly told the russian he didnt have a soul. This time, they may agree to begin proper talks about Arms Control at the very least. Cybersecurity� s On The Agenda Too the new battleground. Ukraine, syria the list of flashpoints is long. But dont expect Mr Putin to give any ground on the fate of this man, alexei navalny, the Opposition Politician first poisoned with a Nerve Agent and now in prison. Ahead of this encounter here in geneva, both russia and the us have Been really playing down expectations. There Will be no breakthrough in relations, the hostility is here to stay. Perhaps the best both sides can hope for is to stop things getting any worse. But during around five hours of talks in this Swiss Mansion, therell be no shared meal and no joint appearance at The End of it all. Joe bidens aim of stable and predictable relations seems unlikely, then. Cooling the temperature perhaps a more attainable goal. Our correspondent Sarah Rainsford is at the summit. Do we know how is it going between the two men . Well, it has just got under way literally in the last few minutes in the 18th century Swiss Mansion behind me. The limousine is passed through here very recently on the weight of that summit. As i mentioned, it was pretty awkward at the two men smiling and shaking hands but very much aware a tense meeting lay ahead. Hours and hours of talks planned to take place in this mansion. President putin thanked Mr Biden. Mr biden said any face to Face Meeting is worthwhile. He also said the two countries need to establish agreements and see where they disagree to be able to discuss those things professionally, he said, and predictably. But both sides have Been talking down expectations, talking about modest expectations, talking about modest expectations that this summit. The kremlin has said, dont expect any historic breakthrough is because simply the relationship between the two countries is too difficult at this point for anything historic to happen here. The fact this summit is taking place at alcohol, they said, is extremely significant. Taking place at all. Prices are rising at their fastest rate in two years. Inflationjumped to 2. 1 in may, as people went back to the High Street after lockdown eased. The cost of Fuel And Clothing was partly responsible for the rise, as Andy Verity reports.

Behind the higher than expected 2. 1 rise in the Cost Of Living is the usual culprit, the price of petrol, which rebounded by 17. 9 after dropping in the lockdowns of last year. As economies have reopened across the world, demand for goods has surged and supplies have not yet bought enough capacity back on stream to meet that demand.

A report by the experts who advise the government says global warming Will hit the country harder than first thought, with more severe heatwaves, and heavier rain. They say homes, infrastructure and services must be ready to withstand hotter temperatures, as well as flooding. Heres our science correspondent, david shukman. 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 theyre 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. I mean, thats extraordinary and thats impacts 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 that 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, youre 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 then 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. Our top story this lunchtime. The bbc understands Covid Vaccinations for care Workers looking after the elderly in england are to become compulsory. 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.

Britains olympic Silver Medal winning swimer Siobhan Marie Oconnor makes the tough decision to retire at the age of 25 because of debilitating struggles with ulcerative colitis. A nine year Old Boy has delivered a handwritten letter to Downing Street asking for help for his parents and other mums and dads who have to pay for medical cannabis for their epileptic children. Thomas brauns brother, eddie, who is six tomorrow, has a private prescription for the drug which costs the family nearly £800 per month. A change in the law in 2018 allowed nhs doctors to prescribe it, but since then, campaigners sayjust three prescriptions have Been issued. 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. Hes 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 Theres Pressure for me on trying 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. Hes six tomorrow, and has Been on the drug since early 2017. Its not an nhs prescription, so it costs the family £780 a month. 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 its a very, very real crisis that were all facing. We cant maintain private prescriptions and we need the government to act now to help us. 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. Im more than proud at what hes done and yeah, thank you. And also im sorry that youve done this. You should not have too but i hope it has you should not have too but i hope it has made you should not have too but i hope it has made a difference. This Will impact loads of families lives and change the world, hopefully. The Government Position is that it is ultimately up to clinicians to decide the best course of treatment. A department for Health Spokesman told us that licensed Cannabis Based Medicines are funded by the nhs when there is clear evidence of their safety and clinical effectiveness. This family say they have that clear evidence, and hope the Prime Minister Will agree. Ellie price, Bbc News.

Since the delay was announced to have Been called to say we need additional help to get through that period and said today we expect the Chief Secretary to the Treasury Steve Backley Will say he would extend this ban on evicting tenants who are struggling. Great news for some businesses who thought they would be forced to close because it is the cheapest thing the government could do, landlords say we have our own bills to pay and what are we going to do and they say as long as there is a message from government that some of those tenants who can pay but at the moment are not paying i give the message that if you can pay you should and then we can deal with this but it needs to be a clear plan as to what happens at The End of that period. This ban could go up to The End of march of next year. As i say Steve Barclay Will be speaking in the House Of Commons in about an hour.
