New data suggests that the Covid Epidemic in england is growing mainly driven by younger Age Groups who are not yet vaccinated. The analysis from imperial college londons react 1 study, looked at the period from 20th May to 7thjune and found that of the over 108,000 people tested, 135 were positive which is a rise from 0. 1 to 0. 15 . Most of the cases were found among five to 12 year olds to 12 year olds and 18 to 24 year olds. The R Number which is the number of people the average infected person would infect was an estimated 1. 44. The analysis also suggest a strengthening link between cases and Hospital Admissions, which is also reflected in the governments daily data for the uk with the number of new cases beginning to rise again with a seven Day Average of 7,888 cases. As well as an increase in Hospital Admissions with over 1,000 patients admitted in the last seven days. However daily deaths still remain low, with a weekly average of nine deaths across the uk. Professor Paul Elliott is an Epidemiologist And Director of the React Study at imperial college, london. Hejoins us now, thank you he joins us now, thank you for joining us on Bbc News. There are some positives and some concerns, would it be fair to say, take us through the main points. As you say, we did our survey between the 20th May and 17th of june, and over 100,000 people took part. What we found during that period there has been exponential growth in the virus from the quite low levels we got to in our last survey which was april may. Rapid growth with the R Number above one. But in the older people, we saw that this weakening of the association between Infection Rate and hospitalisations and death has maintained, and it is actually in the younger people as you said where people have not been vaccinated on the whole. I might have mist it, but what is the variant leading this growth . Yes, we really saw a big change from our last survey which was primarily the Alpha Variant or kent variant, which has now been replaced mainly by the Delta Variant which is the end of our survey was around 90 estimated of infections with the delta event, that was first described in india. The population that is vaccinated, primarily i am assuming the older population, are there any concerns there, is that Infection Rate more or less subdued now because they are vaccinated . We do know that there is very good protection from having both vaccines, so both doses, so it is really important if people are offered the opportunity to get a vaccine, they had the first dose and the second dose. The protection is very high. The issue here is we have exponential growth being driven by the younger people, and it is really important to get those vaccines out to the younger adults, and that is obviously the plan in the next four weeks to do that. When you say younger adults, could you clarify that Age Group please . The plan is to get them acting out to everyone over the age of 18, and we did see the highest rates in the 1824 we did see the highest rates in the 18 24 year olds as well as some younger children. In terms of the younger children. In terms of the younger population it is the 18 24 year olds seeing the highest rates. There are two of your react steady, yours is the swab testing. There is a second report looking at antibody testing, how is that going so far . The antibody testing, we have just had another big survey Up To 200,000 people, we will be reporting on that in the next couple of weeks. Clearly we are looking at the level of antibodies in the population which is related to the Vaccine Programme largely but also related to actual infection that has occurred since the first wave last year. When you look at those statistics, could i ask you how close are we to Herd Immunity . I think, a few think of Population Immunity being people who have either had natural infection but may need the vaccine, the Vaccine Programme has been very, very successful, the rates of uptake are extremely high. So we are heading towards very large numbers of people being protected because they have had the vaccine. Thank you very much for taking us through that react 1 steady. 0ur chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is in westminster. Adam, there are lots of reports this morning that the government is considering plans to stop quarantine for the fully vaccinated and that we could have the right to work from home. It is very clear we are moving into a phase where people are asking what is like going to be like when we lived with this virus in the long term, when the restrictions in england are lifted on the 19th Of July after that four week delay, but the virus is still circulating. There are interesting Newspaper Articles today. The first is in the telegraph, they are saying officials are looking at options for what happens to Quarantine And Isolation for people returning from abroad in future and one option would be a few have had both doses you would not have had both doses you would not have to isolate and the way that is interpreted by the daily telegraph is and other countries would effectively become green for them. I am told this is under constant review. There are no plans to do this yet and nothing like this is around the corner but it is clearly being kept open as an option. Then the issue of working from home in the Daily Mail who are saying there will be a consultation later this year which would give people the option of working from home forever. Not quite necessarily that, in the tory manifesto for the 2019 ex and there was the commitment to have a consultation on the whole area of flexible working which includes childcare and working from home. And to make that the Default Option that you could work as effectively as you want and your employer would have to give you that. That consultation is i am told going to go Ahead later this year but it is an old pledge in a new context of the pandemic. Whereas working from home was a large, Niche Thing before, now it is more of a mainstream being. The two things whichjoin mainstream being. The two things which join those things together is this idea that life will be slightly different when we are living with the virus and the government, civil service, employers and all of us will have to grapple with these issues over the next few months and years. Adam fleming, thank you very much for that. Childrens services in england are more focused on investigating struggling families than helping them according to a new report. An independent review into Council Run social care says The System does not provide enough early support and needs urgent Investment And Reform. Heres our social Affairs Correspondent alison holt. What can you see . Playing and exploring in the shade at this Childrens Centre in hertfordshire helps children and parents make the most of life together. Its the sort of Community Support that todays report says should be much more widely available to all families. Certainly for these parents, it means a lot. Very important for the mum and the baby, obviously, for the mum to meet new friends and to get advice and tips for themselves and also for their baby. Full of information that new parents need, because we dont have a lot of information. I mean, you can go on the internet, but to actually speak to someone, going to the services, and theyre absolutely fantastic. But the independent review says spending by councils in england on general Advice And Support for families has been cut by a third in recent years, with money shifting to crisis services. The review concludes that, too often, families end up being investigated by childrens services, not supported. It says teenagers in particular are being failed by the current system, and that too many children are ending up in care. The Report Author says Investment And Reform of the System Cant be put off. If we carry on like this, it will both become more expensive and continue to be inadequate in the supported it gives to children and families, and so we need to change, you know, there is no option here where childrens social Care Wont Cost more money in the short term. The question is, do we invest in reform, or do we carry on as we are and see services not a good enoughjob . In response to the review, the government says it is putting extra money into targeting educational support earlier in the lives of young people to make sure all children have the same opportunities. Alison holt, Bbc News. The inquiry into the 2017 Manchester Arena Suicide bombing is publishing the first of its reports later focusing on Security Arrangements at the venue. 22 people were killed and hundreds injured in the attack when Salman Abedi detonated a home made device as parents and families gathered to collect Loved Ones leaving Ariana Grande� s concert. Lets go live now to staffordshire where we can speak to sir peter fahy, a former chief constable of greater manchester police. Thank you forjoining us this morning. This is going to be a tough day forfamilies. Yes, a very tough day for the families, bringing it all back and of course the inquiry is continuing and there are more reports to come out. This report will look at these Security Arrangements around the venue. Number one, it was quite complicated because the venue was on part of a building owned by Network Rail said came under the british Transport Police whereas the surrounding area and general approach to terrorism was under the greater manchester police. We have seen this as a feature that all the stations are becoming retail centres and there needs to be clarity on who is responsible. The other issue is on the Security Agencies and how they prepare for what is likely to be the next type of attack. This was an unusual attack in terms of the way this individual targeted young people coming out of the Concert Venue with an explosive device, the agencies, the Police And Security agencies, the Police And Security agencies had been focusing on things as had happened in mumbai in india and france where people go in with Fire Arms and kill large numbers of people, and that affected in a way how the Fire And Ambulance service responded as well because that is what they prepared for. There will be some important recommendations coming out but the challenge for the police and agencies and people running venues and in charge of Shopping Centres and all sorts of different places is what is likely to be the next type of attack because it might not necessarily be of this nature. You mentioned recommendations possibly being in that report today, what would you expect to see . We know we have Martins Law being widely discussed, i will come to that to get your opinion. In terms of recommendations, what would be the obvious ones . To try to make sure it is clear who is responsible for different parts of cities where you have more parts owned by private companies, run by private security companies, in this case it was Network Rail, the british Transport Police, that needs to be clarified. People running venues, big events, crowded places, Shopping Centres, there needs to be more responsibility on them, there needs to be better Training And Cooperation with the security industry. They have looked at how private Security Guards at the venue reacted. It has to be about how all those agencies train together and share information with the Security Services to try to anticipate what is likely to be the next type of attack, then next nature of threat. It may not necessarily be of the nature they are looking at in this inquiry. It sounds as if a lot of this is operational but a sharing of information. Correct me if i am wrong, but currently private and public owners of venues and sights are not obliged to act on any advice given to them if there is a threat of a terrorist attack. That has to change for a start. Yes, it has to change, the whole way those agencies work together particularly in complex cases like city centres. The standards required of private Security Guards, certainly in some cases there is a huge turnover, casual staff coming in and out. I hope the inquiry will look at what is realistic to expect of some people, the inquiry has looked at how individual officers and Security Guards acted on a night but hopefully they will take into account they were put into an extraordinary situation. How do you prepare front Line Staff for this sort of situation, not only how to recognise and deal with a threat, but with a violent and dramatic attack. It is how those agencies work closely together and share information, and how we raise standards, focusing on training. If i could jump in quickly, how difficult is it to train, it is a specialised training in counterterrorism. A few are saying for example private Security Firms need some level of counterterrorism, should that owners be on the local Police Force . I know, soon after the report, i have the details here, there was a request for more than 700 Police Officers, there had been Austerity Cuts when numbers were lost, should Counter Terrorism be on the Police Force or private security . The government needs to organise this training probably delivered at a local level. You are right, the challenge is the breadth of training you have to deliver. Years ago we thought the next attack would be a chemical biological attack. You are right, you can say let us have more training but the problem is training in what . How do you prepare people for dealing with such an extremely situation and to react when they may have a suspicion about an individual, and knowing how to deal with that, realising they may be in immediate danger of that individual who decided to let off an explosive or attack the person looking at them. It is a complex issue. Hopefully the inquiry will make recommendations to find a way forward. It will be really difficult. Forward. It will be reall difficult. It will be really difficult. The name i was it will be really difficult. The name i was looking it will be really difficult. The name i was looking for was ian hopkins. Going back to Martins Law, this is to put in Place Guidance and firm security at events, these are soft targets we are talking about because these are family venues, crowded, soft targets. How is that going to work . What yOu Think of this law . Going to work . What Ou Think of this law . ,. , what yOu Think of this law . You can well understand what yOu Think of this law . You can well understand why what yOu Think of this law . You can well understand why this what yOu Think of this law . You can well understand why this is well understand why this is important and this needs to be taken seriously. Practically, it is what are the range of threats and situations to prepare for. A few look at the arena, the reality is, while this was a desperate attack, carried out in an enclosed place, it was within the arena building, had he not got in, the outside was crowded with families picking up children, congestion, he could have let the Device Outside and had a similar impact. It is important we look at the security of venues but also how people exit safely. We have to be aware whatever we do, if a terrorist is determined to create Havoc Misery such a tragedy, they will find a way through, and we had to be nimble and agile to make sure we are well prepared to deal with that. The Justice Secretary that. TheJustice Secretary has said we need to make sure it is proportionate. Sir peter fahy, thank you for your time, thank you. China has launched a Spacecraft Carrying three astronauts or taikonauts as it calls them into orbit, in a significant step towards establishing beijing as a major space power. The mission to build chinas own Space Station will be its longest with a crew, and the first for nearly five years. Gail maclellan reports. And with that the shenzhou 12, the divine vessel, heads off into space and the history books. China is going to space on a regular basis these days, sending a rover to mars, the far side of the moon, and now a manned mission to construct its own Space Station. This craft will dock with the section that was placed in orbit in april, and these astronauts will spend three months in a low orbit around the moon. Earth. That is going to be a lot of setting for their crews, going to setup this home for chinese astronauts for years to come. They will test out spacesuits, practice Doing Space Walks and maintenance on the outside of the Space Station. They are going to test out their new robot arm. These are all things that the international Space Station astronauts have done for years but china doesnt have that experience so they are going to Ramp Up so they can do the same things that we know how to do. Another 11 missions are planned to complete the construction of the Space Station over the next year and a half. Commander Nie Haisheng and his crew might have momentarily felt the g load, but he says they are confident they will meet the challenges Ahead as they float almost 400 kilometres above the earth. And there is No Doubt that the view is spectacular. Gail maclellan, Bbc News. A highly decorated Police Officer convicted of possessing a Child Abuse Video has won an appeal against her dismissal from the met police. Superintendent Robyn WilliamsLost Herjob last year, but a police Appeals Tribunal has found that her sacking was unfair. The independent panel concluded it was unreasonable to Sack Ms williams after her conviction and determined that her dismissal should be replaced with a final written warning. Ryanair, Manchester Airport and other travel businesses are beginning a legal challenge to try to get the government to give more details about how it decides on its covid Traffic Light Travel system. They say decisions are being made in an opaque way making it impossible to plan. Jet2 and easyjet holidays also say they dont understand why destinations with low Infection Rates like mallorca are not on the Green List. And well have more on this in the next half an hour. Hong Kong Police have arrested five senior figures from the pro Democracy Newspaper Apple daily, including the three top Editorial Staff under Security Laws imposed by beijing. The five including the editor in chief Ryan Law were detained in a Dawn Raid on the offices of the paper which has opposed chinas Tightening Grip on Hong Kong. Police say theyre suspected of colluding with foreign powers to endanger national security. Computers and Mobile Phones were seized, along with more than us 2 Dollars Worth of Apple Daily� s assets. The owner of the Newspaperjimmy Lai has already been put on trial over similar accusations which could carry a life term. Heres our reporter in Hong Kong dannyvincent, describing what happened in the early hours of this morning. Reportedly, Up To 500 Police Officers were assigned to this operation. Some of them went to Apple Daily� S Headquarters here in Hong Kong. Others went to the homes of the five executives that have now been arrested and detained. Throughout this morning, the police stayed inside Apple Daily. There were a large number stationed outside. They seemed to be on rotations. Apple daily continued to live stream some of the events that were happening inside, but mostlyjournalists were being stopped from entering the building. Some of the journalists ive spoken to, they fear that of the newspapers 26 years, today may be, or in fact tomorrow morning, may be the first day when Apple Daily isnt actually printed. Thats because the police have frozen the assets of many of the parent companys operations. That includes the printing house, so there is lots of speculation now as to whether Apple Daily will be stopped from continuing to publish and print, at least, over the next 24 hours, and i was standing outside Apple Daily earlier this morning. There is a large number ofjournalists and police waiting outside, to see whats about to happen next, but the journalists that ive spoken to, they feel that its notjust the pro Democracy Camp thats under attack here in Hong Kong today, its also journalism itself. Over the course of the pandemic, train passengeR Numbers in the uk have plummeted to their lowest levels since records began. To try to tempt travellers back, this morning one provider is attempting to break the record for the fastest journey from london to glasgow. Its hoped that as well as raising money for charity, the effort will also highlight the ease of travelling by train. The famously Sleepy Dormouse was once a common sight in english woodland, but the species has been in severe decline. A scheme to reintroduce the tiny rodents to their native habitat has now reached a milestone with The OneThousandth Captive Bred animal being released. 0ur Science CorrespondentVictoria Gill has the story. Tiny, nocturnal and under threat. Dormice, the only Uk Rodents with furry tails have been quietly disappearing from our countryside. Can i give you these four bags, if you do half a scoop in each of those. Now, in a mission that started in 1993 to bring them back to woodlands across the country, these conservationists are preparing to release their 1000th captive bred doormats. Their chosen home is this carefully managed woodland in north lancashire. We know 100 years ago dormice were widespread throughout england, wales, and they reached as far north as the scottish border. But we know in the last 100 years they have been lost from 17 english counties. So in a national context, the decline is quite severe. It has been a painstaking team effort. The animals were born at London Zoo and after Health Screenings and nine weeks quarantine, the 30 rodents were transported more than 250 miles to this remote spot. Why go to all of this effort for this one species . They lived here originally, they belong here. So even if you improve the habitat of the area, some of the species are missing and they cant come back themselves. If you can bring them back, then, you are putting them into that jigsaw of what the overall ecosystem should be like. And that is what the dormouse is providing, is part of thatjigsaw and putting it back together. 0n the final stretch of theirjourney, i had the privilege of very carefully carrying two dormice to their new home. I am not expecting them to come out at all. They are quite cosy in there. Quite cosy in there and they will settle in. This large cage with extra Food And Water will provide protection for a pair of the animals. Is that 0k there . Letting them settle into their new habitat before conservationists open the door. The team is keeping the exact location of the release a secret to protect the animals. Their work does not stop today. It is a real tangle. It would be easier to navigate if you were a dormouse ah, 0k. This is one of our footprint tunnels. They would move along the branch and this is how you track . They move through a real Tangled Thicket of branches through the woodland, and they will be able to pass through this tunnel and then leave footprints on the inside on a piece of paper which we can then identify because they are very distinctive footprints. That will give us a real track on where the mice are moving to in the woodland. Keeping track of their new arrivals will help researchers monitor the state of the habitat. The dormouse thrives in areas with other species thrive. So a good woodland for Dormouse Habitat is a good woodland for woodland birds. It is a good woodland for wild flowers and butterflies. It shows your woodlands are in a good state. The hope is like dormice already reintroduced elsewhere in england, they will breed this summer, replacing a tiny piece of an Ecosystem Jigsaw that has been missing for a century. Victoria gill, Bbc News. Now its time for a look at the weather with Carol Hello again. Over the next few days and nights for some of us there will be thundery showers in the forecast some of which could be torrential. We have had that already this morning from this line moving into the North Sea. We have another line of showers at some of which will be thundery across the South East. Across scotland, Northern England, West Wales and the south west, as well as northern ireland, we will see the Lions Share of the sunshine this afternoon. But some breaks in that cloud will allow temperatures to scoot Up To 25 degrees in the South East. We will have a dry spell overnight before the next band of showers come up from the south moving across southern england, the Channel Islands and parts of the South East, and some of those will be thundery. Muggy in the south, fresher in the north under clearer skies. So it is the north that sees the Lions Share of the sunshine tomorrow. In the South East once again we have all the showers, some torrential, some with some thunder and lightning, and still pretty muggy. Here, hello this is Bbc News with lukwesa burak.

Time to catch up with the sport and mike, and we are talking about the euros. Good morning. Wales manager Rob Page says its the crest on their chest and what it means to play for wales, that enables, his team to raise their game when it matters, after his side were superb in beating turkey 2 0 in baku. There was strong support for the turks in azerbaijan, but Aaron Ramsey silenced the 30,000, Latching On To gareth bales magical ball. Bale had a fine evening but apologised to his teammates after skying a second Half Penalty but it wasnt to matter. The team stuck together and bale made amends, with more magic to tee up Conor Roberts for their second. It leaves wales on four points after two games and that should be enough, to see them into the last 16. I couldnt be more proud of the players. I said to them in the changing room, to create the amount of chances that we have created against a very good team, in turkey, is unbelievable. It is a pity we have not scored more goals but to win in the manner in which we did, credit goes to the players. They were outstanding. The vast majority of welsh fans, celebrated back home many at the fanzone in cardiff, where it was raining beer. 0ne Fan using herflag to try and keep dry but dont get in the way, of The One whos spotted the camera. A tribute to the Connor Roberts Celebration but not quite as successful. I think yeah, wales can go and win the tournament now. Chalk and cheese from the swiss game. Excuse the pun we will go on now, no pressure against italy and then, yeah, into the last 16. Once wales scored the first goal, then be pushed through. Then we came up with the second goal, the finishing blow, mate. How we played today, i think we can go all the way. But theres bigger teams than us, but i think at least get to the round of 16j and then who knows . We have a chance to go further. Wales now go to rome full of confidence, that maybe they can be the team, to stop the worlds most in form team, italy. Roberto Manchinis Side have won both their Group Games 3 0 so far and are the first team to qualify for the Knockouts Dismantling switzerland n rome. Some daunting stats for all the other teams. Italy havent lost any of their last 29 matches. Theyve also won their last ten and in those games theyve scored 31 goals, without conceding. Now the Finland Team all wore t shirts, with a message to Christian Eriksen, as they walked out for their first match since, the players Cardiac Arrest overshadowed their win over denmark, but this time. The lost 1 0 to russia. Alexi miranchuk scoring the only goal. It was an absorbing first day, as england india, met in a womens test for the first time in 7 years. Captain Heather Knight starred with the bat for england, in bristol top scoring with 95. But from a strong position england, suffered a collapse, meaning Theyll Resume this morning on 269 for 6 hoping the lower order adds some useful runs. Now, have we seen rise of andy Murrays Successor . 19 year old Jack Draper has become the youngest british player, to reach an Atp Quarter final, since murray in 2006. This is after beating, the World Number 39 alex bublik, of khazakstan in his second match at queens. Hell face fellow brit, Cameron Norrie in the last eight tomorrow. Murray meanwhile is back on court today, playing his last 16 match against italian matteo berrettini. Dan evans is in action too, but lets Hearfrom Draper i im glad ive been able to takel advantage of the opportunities, as you said, on the futures tour, when youre used to playing in front of One Man and his dog, | but its amazing playing in front| of all you guys and thanks again for all your support. Now queens always means that wimbledon is just around the corner. The tournament starts on 28thjune with the finals due to be played in front of capacity crowds. As it stands the all England Club is expecting Naomi 0saka to compete. Shes been taking time away from the court since withdrawing from the French Open for Mental Health reasons amid a furore around her refusal to fulfil media duties. Its probably important to recognise that, along with the other Grand Slams and detours, we are always looking to evolve and improve what we do, so to that end, we have started a consultation around how we might improve Media Operations and of course that needs to include not just the players but also the media and those engaged in that space. We are all striving to do things better. Now we mentioned earlier the finland players wishing danish star Chritian Eriksen well following his Cardiac Arrest on saturday, and the danish Football Association have this morning confirmed that eriksen will have a Heart Starter Device fitted. Its a measure often taken due to Rhythm Disturbances following a Cardiac Arrest. Eriksen� s been getting so many messages of love from Around The World in different forms, including this from david wright, in huddersfield, who made this Cube Art Portrait of eriksen, using 500 rubiks cubes. He posted this video on Social Media and hopes it will help christian with his recovery. Maybe the danish side will have a look at that post before their match against belgium later on.

Some information coming from the ons on covid data. If you are able to bring up our computers you could see the tweet, but in the meantime, there we go, the summary. Three main points to take away. The first is that the risk of identifying new infection following vaccination was highest during the first 21 days after inoculation and then after that, the risks strongly decrease so they have been analysing the data, and of those who became infected Post Vaccination they were less likely to have symptoms, and less likely to have symptoms, and less likely to have symptoms, and less likely to have a high viral load compared to individuals wHo Tested positive but hadnt been vaccinated. The final Key Point from this latest analysis is looking at the characteristics of those who have tested positive. And the Ons Points out that they include individuals aged under 40, individuals aged under 40, individuals working in a Patient FacingHealth Care roles and care homes, and also larger Household Size and greater deprivation. That is since the pandemic broke last year, and also saying that there was a trend towards lower Positivity RatesPost Vaccination in rural areas. We will be the discussing there main points from the 0ns throughout the day but a little summary there of the latest analysis of covid data. Lets return to our Travel Story now concerning ryanair and the owner of Manchester Airport. Theyre launching a legal challenge against the government over the travel Traffic Light System. Theyre calling for more transparency about how ministers decide which countries qualify for the quarantine free Green List. Im joined now by our business reporter simon browning.

Some of the biggest names in Travel Lodging this | biggest names in Travel Lodging this legal challenge, the Manchester Airport group, which includes stansted Airport And EastMidlands Airport and ryanair, a huge airline, by Mid Day there will be more signatures revealed involved in this legal challenge. Why . The Transport And Travel industry is angry with the government in how it has handled the government in how it has handled the Green List. Remember the chaos a couple of weeks ago when all of a sudden on may 17, the government put 12 countries on the Green List including portugal, and we saw a huge exodus, a Ramp Up of tourism into portugal and two weeks later the government change the guidance and put it on the amber list. The Tourism Industry was angry. They were told that there would be a green watch list, part of the new way that travel would operate and if a country was at risk of going into the other category, there would be more warning. That didnt happen and within four days, portugal went from green to amber, leaving Tens Of Thousands of british holiday makers scrambling to get back. The Tourism Industry and the big airlines, transport companies, what the government to start being clearer and more transparent with how these decisions are made, because the Tourism Bosses and Transport Industry dont feel like they are getting the necessary information on how these data and how these decisions are made. Michael 0leary says that the uk Traffic Light System has been an absolute shambles from the start. The Stop Go Policy is causing untold damage to the aviation industry, frustrating and upsetting millions of british families when they see Holiday Plans and family visits disrupted by the Government Mismanagement of International Travel. The government says it has supported the Travel Sector throughout this period, with funding, and cannot actually comment on any legal challenges that are ongoing at the moment. The images of danish footballer Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch at the euros last weekend after suffering a Cardiac Arrest, sent shockwaves Around The World. Tonight, denmark take to the field again, and thanks to the quick thinking of his Team Mates and access to a defibrillator, eriksen is alive to cheer them on. His resuscitation has prompted calls for the life saving equipment to be made available in more public spaces, as Graham Satchell reports. Saturday afternoon, and the world stood still, praying for danish footballer Christian Eriksen. As players formed a protective ring, medical staff used a defibrillator to shock eriksen� s heart back into action. It was absolutely shocking and it was upsetting to see. You still dont expect to see stuff like that on live tv. Benjones was watching the game with his seven year old son, 0scar. He had a Heart Attack and they had this thing called a therm. Defibrillator. Defibrillator, and they help you if youve had a Heart Attack. It sends electricity to your heart and it starts re going again. 0scar was so moved by what he saw that he started a gofundme run. He wants to raise money for a defibrillator for his football team. We wanted to run a mile every day for 26 days to raise money to get one for our team and other teams, the teams that are older than us and dont have some. The question he asked me was, what happens if it happens at our Football Match . It took my breath away, the question, really. As an Fa Coach and the coach of his football team, we are trained to use one but we dont have one, so, yeah, im very proud of him. I think it at seven years old to want to do that is phenomenal. Apply pads to patients bare chest as shown in picture. Press pads firmly to patients skin. Defibrillation in combination with Chest Compression can be vital in saving someones life. People should not be afraid to use them because you just press the on button and it explains exactly what you need to do, so people should just go Ahead and do it. Every minute that someone doesnt act to do something for someone who has had a Cardiac Arrest, the chance of survival is reduced by 10 . There are a growing number of so called public access defibrillators. More than 100,000 in total, in Shopping Centres, some workplaces and transport hubs but they are used in just 3 of Cardiac Arrests outside hospital. Part of the problem is no one knows exactly where they all are, so the british Heart Foundation is now working on a national database. The importance of that is that the Ambulance Service in the local area know where that defibrillator is and how to get access to it and be able to tell the person who rings 999 for help looking to use that defibrillator to save someones life. There have been calls for a change in the law so defibrillators become mandatory in workplaces and other public areas. There is No Doubt that using one helped to save eriksens life, who was conscious when he left the field on saturday and is now in a stable condition in hospital. 0scar will be running for the next 25 days as he tries to protect the players at his football club. Graham satchell, Bbc News. Halfords says sales of electric bikes and electric scooters have almost doubled in a year. The retailer said that had contributed to a 72 rise in annual profits to £96 million. Well, E Scooters have become a common sight in many of our towns and cities, and while private use is still illegal, government trials are under way in places like luton, cambridge and northampton. Some say they have become a nuisance and the guide Dogs Charity wants better enforcement of the rules. Sam read reports from Milton Keynes, home to the uks first full scale trial. Supporters say that they are green, easy to use, and reduce congestion when used on cycleways like this. But E Scooter trials have also seen problems. Elaine is partially sighted and has had bad experiences while walking in Milton Keynes with her guide dog, ilka. I heard some Screaming And Sort of like turned a bit, and all of a sudden i was sort of hit from the right side, which knocked me over onto inca, and then i realised that it was two young people Riding A scooter, an E Scooter. You know, it is getting to be an issue, now. That, you know, you just get scared to go out. Over 18s can hirE Scooters using an app. Three companies are part of the trial around Milton Keynes. All have safety features. We have had training with london vision, so all of London Visions guidance has gone into our training, which every user must undertake before they start. But there is undoubtedly more we can do. These are part of the trials and we are evolving and adapting. As you can see, campbell park, where we are now, we have reduced the speed down to ten mph, and request the Parks Trust because we have got so many people walking here. One company has seen over 100,000 Milton Keynesjourneys since august. But pedestrians are not quite so sure. They are scary when they go past you. I sure.

Ministers will decide what happens longer term, but it seems increasingly likely that E Scooters will become a more common sight. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol. Hello again. There are still some thunderstorms for some of us in the forecast over the next few days and nights but of course not all of us will see them. This afternoon you can see how the thunderstorms push into the North Sea but we have also got this line of Showery Rain and some of those will have some thunderstorms in them as well. Brightening up for south West England and wales, and Sunny Skies in northern ireland, Northern England and scotland. With just a peppering of showers in the north and west. In the sunshine, 18 degrees will feel quite pleasant but it will be muggy once again across the far South East. Pollen Levels Today are high or very high for much of the uk, something to bear in mind if you are spending any time outside. This evening and overnight we lose this line of showers and any thunderstorms left in it. We will have a dry interlude with Clear Skies before the next showers come up across the Channel Islands and parts of southern and South Eastern england. Those will also be thundery. Still muggy in the South East, fresher and more comfortable to sleep in as we push further north and west. Tomorrow we will have all these showers in the far South East. Some of them again will be thundery. Some cloud Ahead of them and there will be breaks in the cloud. It is the west and parts of the north that see the Lions Share of the sunshine. With temperatures Up To 18 in glasgow and liverpool, 21 in cardiff. As we head through Friday Night into saturday, we still have all of this rain, Showery Rain coming into the South Eastern corner. Dry conditions elsewhere with variable cloud, and on saturday we see the remnants of the rain move away, a ridge of High Pressure across us, and things become more settled. There will be a few showers in the west but most of us will stay dry. You can see what is waiting in the wings. These are saturdays temperatures, feeling fresher with highs Up To 20 or 21, so pleasant in the sunshine. What we have on Saturday Night is a Weather Front moving northwards and another one coming in from the atlantic. It will be fairly wet on sunday, all of this advancing northwards, drying out a touch behind it, and bright Ahead of it as well. These are our temperatures, 12 in the north, highs of 21 in the South East. This is Bbc News. These are the latest headlines in the uk and Around The World. The Covid Epidemic in england is growing.
