Cheering and applause in full voice for the Big Game between England And Scotland tomorrow, but the police say only those with tickets should travel. Hello and welcome. The first of three reports into the Attack'>Manchester Arena Attack four years ago has concluded that the bomber, salman abedi, should have been identified as a threat. Sirjohn saunders, who is leading the Public Inquiry into the bombing, says there were a number of missed opportunities to prevent or minimize the devasting impact of the atrocity. 22 people were killed and hundreds were injured at The End of an Ariana Grande Concert in may 2017. 0ur CorrespondentJudith Moritz reports. Police emergency, hello. Theres been an explosion at Manchester Arena is anybody injured . Yes, Loads Chaos and devastation in the moments after the bomb. The aftermath was horrific. But the details of what happened before the explosion are distressing too. The chairman of the Manchester Arena inquiry didnt hold back toDay In his criticism of those responsible for keeping concertgoers safe. I was urged by everybody to avoid looking for scapegoats. I have not looked to blame anyone, but where, having considered the evidence, i considered that individuals have fallen below a proper standard in carrying out their important roles in protecting concertgoers, i have said so. The bomber, salman abedi, hung around the Arena And Train station next doorfor two hours before his Attack, a catalogue of Security Failures allowed him to slip through the net. He walked into the foyer an hour before the Ariana Grande Concert finished, up the stairs to a carefully researched Hiding Place in a cctv blind spot. Of the public did and told a teenage steward. No one from authority challenged him, but a member of the public did and told a teenage steward. They didnt seem that interested, it was as if they had more important things to deal with. The 19 year old steward mohammed agha fobbed mr wilde off. The report found this was the most striking missed opportunity. The steward bears personal responsibility, and so too does another teenage steward, kyle lawler, who walked away unconcerned after being warned about the bomber. The company who employed them, showsec, has been heavily criticised and it says it has learned lessons and is considering todays criticisms. The operator of the arena, smg, has also been condemned for lapses. Today it said it was truly sorry. Defying orders, there was no british Transport Police Officer inside the room when the concert ended. A group of them were standing together at the station next door when the bomb went off. There is said to be no satisfactory explanation for this. 22 people were murdered in the Attack. The youngest, a child of eight. The report says had more been done, fewer people would have been killed. Thats difficult Forjune Tron to hear, her Son Philip was one of those who died. How does it make you feel about what happened . Angry, angry. It is difficult to take it all in . I am his mum and that is what i am here for, to getjustice for him. Martyn hett is another who died in the bombing. His mum, figen murray, has been campaigning for new legislation nicknamed martyn� s law to force Venue Operators to plan and cater for the risk of a terror Attack. It was recommended in the report. The inquiry has supported the law, what is next . I am having talks with people in the government next week to ask that question. I am not sure what the next step will be. I would suspect that the government will take a few months to evaluate the results of the consultation. The government says it is carefully considering the report, which will shape its response to calls for the new law, part of an effort to ensure that in future, venues put the Safety And Security of the public first. There is so much territory for the Manchester Arena inquiry to cover that this is the first of three reports which the chairman is going to publish. The next volume will look at the way the Emergency Services responded to the Attack, and it will examine exactly how each of the 22 victims died and whether any of them could have been saved. The final report will look at what the Security Services knew about the bomber, whether they could have prevented what happened. For the bereaved families and the survivors, there is still a long road ahead. The mayor of Greater Manchester says of the organisations who are involved on the night of the Attack over to the family and the victims the family of the victims to review what Attack. It the family of the victims to review what Attack. The family of the victims to review what Attack. It is difficult for everybody. Review what Attack. It is difficult for everybody, but review what Attack. It is difficult for everybody, but typically review what Attack. It is difficult for everybody, but typically for. For everybody, but typically for those who are buried or injured, and one msa to the organisations that were involved on the night, they must sit fully to these findings and Takers Possibility and make the changes needed so that other families do not have to go through with a 22 families have been during the last four years. And Judith Moritz� s special programme � the Manchester ArenaInquiry Security in the spotlight� will be on after this bulletin at 8. 30 here on the Bbc News Channel and also on the bbc iplayer. There have beenjust over 11,000 new cases of covid recorded in the last 2a hours. Thats the biggest daily increase in nearly four months. But Health Experts say the weekly rate of increase is still lower than it was a few weeks ago. Much of the rise in infections is being driven by younger people who are not yet vaccinated. Heres our Health Correspondent sophie hutchinson. Vaccines for the younger generation at this Community Pharmacy in suffolk. From tomorrow, anyone aged 18 and over will be able to book a jab, but there are concerns about how many will come forward. Young people think that its not going to affect them as much and they are not putting as much importance on getting the vaccine. The latest data suggests it is the Under 30s who are driving the spread of infections. Public Health England says there has been a significant rise in 10 to 19 year olds, but it is the 20 to 29 year olds with the largest increase. If the vaccination is going to prevent myself and other people from Catching Covid and stop us from going into a third lockdown, then i have to do my part. We are young, fit and healthy, so we think if we get it, it will be a bit like a common cold and be a bit ill for a couple of days and be fine. We dont know what the future vaccine is going to happen to us. The good news is, scientists at Imperial College London say the link between infections and hospitalisations and deaths has been weakening since february, suggesting the Vaccination Programme is working. We do know that there is very good protection from having both vaccines, so both doses of the vaccine. It is really important if people are offered the opportunity to get a vaccine, that they have the first dose and then they have the second dose. The React Study also found cases in england were rising exponentially, but that data is from two weeks ago. So just how concerning are Infection Rates now . Data from the past two weeks shows increasing numbers of people have been catching the virus. But it is the rate of that increase that is interesting. In earlyjune, cases were growing fast, peaking on the 10th ofjune. But since then, that seems to have been falling, suggesting we are no longer facing exponential growth. Hospitalisations, although they are increasing at the moment, they are much lower than expected with the number of cases we have seen, even from a few months ago. And if indeed this rate of increase in Case Numbers continues to decline, i think everything is looking pretty good, to be honest. Special measures such as Surge Testing here in loughborough are helping to control Infection Numbers in hot spots. And as of today, four out of five adults have had one dose of the vaccine, a crucial milestone reached along the road to lifting restrictions. Sophie hutchinson, bbc news. The latest official figures on the Pandemic Show that in the past 2a hours, 19 deaths were reported and as weve heard there have been just over 11,000 new infections, which means an average of 8,401; new cases per Day In the last week. Over 195,000 people received a first dose of the vaccine in the latest 2a hour period, meaning over 42 Million people have now had theirfirstjab thats just over 80 of Uk Adults. The number of people whove had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 2a hour period, was almost 235,000. 0ver 30. 6 million people have had both doses meaning just over 58 of Uk Adults are fully vaccinated. Lets speak now to paul hunter, professor of medicine at the university of east anglia, who you saw in that report. Hello again. We havejust hello again. We have just seen you. You said everything is looking pretty good at The End of your sentence. I wonder if you could elaborate. I sentence. I wonder if you could elaborate sentence.

I think the key things are, one is that as elaborate. I think the key things are, one is that as we elaborate. I think the key things are, one is that as we have elaborate. I think the key things. Are, one is that as we have heard that the number of cases is not accelerating as much as it was even accelerating as much as it was even a week or so ago, and you have got to always be cautious about one particular data source. But this has been noticed both in the number of daily cases that we, that you mention on your programme, but also it has been noticed in the zoe symptom study, that this rapid increase that we see a couple of weeks ago seems to be leveling off now, so that is pretty good. Plus, the ons now, so that is pretty good. Plus, the 0ns Study that came out today showing very low numbers of cases after 21 days after the first vaccination. And also, the fact that we have heard a lot about how one dose may not be enough to prevent infection, but public Health England published an analysis to days ago showing that a single dose is still a pretty good at keeping you out of hospital, the effectiveness of the vaccine, 75 in terms of preventing people needing to go to hospital. So a lot of good news over the last few days, i think. A lot of good news over the last few days. Ithink days, ithink. Ive interviewed you a number of days, ithink.

But, we are hearing of high numbers of cases of long covid in people even in their 20s, and some of these long covid cases are lasting months and are potentially life changing, certainly for the duration. Yes, you are unlikely to get severe disease, youre unlikely to die, but youre still at high risk of getting along covid, which could actually damage a lot of your Life Opportunities and expectations. Looking ahead, there is a reopening in england on the 19th ofjuly. More generally, do we get rid of the virus or to be simply learn how to live with it .

The last Big Time that a covid virus came into Human Society it was probably 100 years ago, and it is still around, probably 100 years ago, and it is stillaround, but probably 100 years ago, and it is still around, but it is one of the causes of the common cold. And it is this balance that we have between when we get the initial infection, or immunity, how often we are exposed, and we will come to a balance where it will still be around, yes, most of us will expect to catch covid probably multiple times in her life, but it will not be causing this severe disease, but it will probably be causing giving us bad colds for many years to come. As ever, professor paul hunter, thank you so much for speaking to us. People in cornwall are being asked to triple their efforts to help halt the rise of covid 19 cases. Infections in the county and the Isles Of Scilly are almost nine times higher than the previous week and cases are expected to rise further. Questions are being asked whether Half Term Holiday makers or the G7 Summit fuelled the rise. Jon kay reports. The perfect spot for an evening meal, but not tonight. All around st ives, covid casualties. Over the last few days, at least 12 businesses shut. This is one of the latest. Werejust devastated, you know . Mick has had to close four Beach Side restaurants. We thought we were finally getting out of a very difficult time for our business, and its been a real slap on the wrists. You know, but theres nothing we can do when your staff are isolating. And i just feel for all our customers, but we have to keep everyone safe. Until now, cornwall has escaped the worst of the pandemic, but sunday alone saw more than 100 cases. Thats more than in the whole of may. Some blame the G7 Summit, which brought politicians and media to these beaches from all over the world. But public health officials said the spike started a week earlier, during half term. People working in the hospitality trade, particularly our unvaccinated members of our community, those Under 30s, just means that its been a greater opportunity for it to transmit and spread so much quicker. Vaccination levels here are high, and so far hospitalisations and deaths remained low. But locals like sue are not reassured. Its very scary, in fact. Its scary because of the fact you dont know how its going to affect you. You dont know how its going to affect your family, and you dont know how itsj going to affect your friends. Its sad, really, because weve been coming here so many years. St ives doesnt really feel like it usually does for us. The covid numbers here in the South West of england are still much lower than many other parts of the country, but there are two reasons why people here are worried. First of all, theres only one a E Department for the whole of the county of cornwall. And secondly, the busy Summer Holiday Season has scarcely begun yet. Jon kay, bbc news, st ives.

The number of children in care in england has risen by a quarter in the last decade to more than 80,000, but an independent review has found that social services are too often focused on investigating struggling families, when they should be providing them with support. The number of inquiries into whether a child is at risk of significant harm has more than doubled since 2010, rising to 201,000 investigations in a year. But the report said 135,000 thats 67 of Investigations Led to no child protection plan. 0ur social Affairs CorrespondentAlison Holt reports. Its young people like jade who need us to get the childrens Care System right. Shes lived many of the failings outlined in todays report. She was taken into care at two, but before she found foster parents who took her into their hearts, she moved 11 times in 16 years. And i started to get really settled down and get to know the family and the children that they had as well, and we were told we were moving again. And i was, like, really overwhelmed with it and i have autism, so obviously i dont like changes. The independent review found the Child Protection System run by councils under signifcant strain, with an increasing number of families being investigated, more children in care and costs spiralling. Welcome. This is a flat for one of our young people. A key area that the review says needs to change is what it calls the broken market in childrens homes. Bedrooms and the bathroom further down. These flats have recently been set up by Hertfordshire County Council because it was so tough to find places. The idea is its for difficult to place young people to keep them within hertfordshire. They may struggle and have struggled in the past living within a group environment, whereas here they dont have that pressure. For this 15 year old, its made a huge difference. Its really nice. Its my favourite colours. Pink, ive got a pink wall in the kitchen. I did you get to choose those colours . Yeah, it makes me feel at home. But most childrens homes are privately run, costing an average of £4,000 a week. Prices have increased by more than 40 in less than a decade, and a shortage of places means children end up miles from home. We could go maybe up to 200 providers as a country to find providers in a country to find the right placement. What it did make us think is weve got to do something different ourselves because the complexity of Need Isnt going away. What can you see . And with so much spent on crisis services, too often early support forfamilies has been cut. Childrens centres like this one provide wide ranging guidance for all parents. Its very important for the mum and the baby. Obviously for the mum to meet new friends and to get advice. And tips for their self and also for their baby. And this is where the review says money needs to be invested, so early help can head off later problems. Alison holt, bbc news, hertfordshire. Thank you so much forjoining us, the national director of the association for Social Workers. It is a pleasure to be here, in terms of the report, certainly highlight some of the critical issues facing show so workers and local authorities and other organisations. It is highlighted the underfunding of childrens social care for decades, highlighted the challenges of reduced services for early intervention, and i would also like to really emphasise the fantastic work the Social Workers, Family Practitioners and the workforce across social care are doing Day In, day out during the day and also at night time. We have to remember this is a 20 four sevenths service. So i think the report does highlight issues that we have been advocating for as professional association, and we are extremely concerned at the lack of investment in early intervention, but it is part of a collective system. This is notjust about social work, this is notjust about social work, this is notjust about childrens social care, we are looking at over 650,000 referrals that are coming and the childrens social care from a variety of sources. And members of the public, we must not forget that, and we urge members of the public if youre concerned about a child, to make contact. We recognise there is been a significant underfunding of Social Workers themselves are under incredible pressure. I workers themselves are under incredible pressure. Workers themselves are under incredible pressure. I was struck by somethin incredible pressure. I was struck by something or incredible pressure. I was struck by Something Or Someone incredible pressure. I was struck by Something Or Someone said incredible pressure. I was struck by Something Or Someone said your i Something Or Someone said your correspondent. We have got to do something different, because it is not working at the moment. What should that something different be . Although government may not like this response, it is about investment in the services. As highlighted, i personally, and colleagues and our members, have experienced closure of youth services, closure of childrens centres, short Term Funding Investment that does not directly relate to long Term Investment about getting the needs of children met, the needs of childrens families and communities, and also really evaluate the role of Social Workers. Social workers are dealing with systemic changes in terms of poverty, welfare state system, we are seeing more childrens families accessing Food Banks and then we had ever seen. And the impact of covid has been absolutely horrific on many families and the communities that we serve. I families and the communities that we serve. , y families and the communities that we serve. , , serve. I wonder very briefly, it must be very serve. I wonder very briefly, it must be very hard serve. I wonder very briefly, it must be very hard to serve. I wonder very briefly, it must be very hard to get serve. I wonder very briefly, it must be very hard to get that| must be very hard to get that Balance Right between not intervening and intervening too much. How do you do that . It is about responding much. How do you do that . It 3 about responding at an early intervention time, absolutely. It is making sure that other agencies and individuals are making the appropriate referrals at the right time, and that we really engage and support children and families at a community level. So this is part of a collaboration, this is a part of different stakeholders, and really working in partnership for the families. Analysis key message. I think it is lovely to hear on your pre record, that young woman talking about her engagement in terms of setting up her temporary accommodation with support from the local authority. And we want young people to be involved in decisions in working collaboratively and together working collaboratively and together. She together working collaboratively and together and together. She even got to pick the colour of and together. She even got to pick the colour of the and together. She even got to pick the colour of the walls. And together. She even got to pick the colour of the walls. Thank and together. She even got to pick the colour of the walls. Thank you | the colour of the walls. Thank you so much forjoining us. The colour of the walls. Thank you so much forjoining us. A meeting of dup leaders is under way after the revolt of a nomination by edwin poots.

A majority of its elected representatives earlier post the decision opposed the decision to nominate a first minister. Now its time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. Good evening. For many today, it has felt a little fresher with some sunshine still, but across central and eastern parts of england in particular, we have kept humidity, there has been a lot more cloud and few rumbles of thunder and the show is a are going to plague central and eastern areas through this evening and overnight. We are going to continue to feed on the moisture from the south and so once again, really uncomfortable night sleeping, but for many, it will be far fresher and much more comfortable in fact single figures, low single figures in the glens of scotland, but plenty of sunshine here tomorrow and indeed for northern ireland. Just the odd shower bubbling up, but most Shower Activity will be torrential toward southern and eastern areas. Pushing further north through the day and further west with some fairly strong winds which will keep the temperature down, but the humidity is still high. It could be very wet and we could see some local flash flooding. And we could see some we need to keep an eye on that. And we could see some as we go into the weekend, saturday looks like the drier day, but Saturday Night into sunday poses the risk of further heavy, thundery rain. Hello this is bbc news. The headlines. The public enquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing has concluded that there were serious shortcomings in security at the venue on the night of the Attack. At the
