It wasnt to be. With the number of cases rising a delay and a new date were announced. Today, we got a further update from the Prime Minister. I think you can never exclude that there will be some new horror that there will be some new Disease Or Horror that we simply havent budgeted for or accounted for, but looking at where we are and the efficacy of the vaccines against all variants we can currently see, alpha, delta, the lot of them, capa, i think it is looking good forjuly the 19th to be that terminus point. So for the moment most current Covid I9 restrictions are staying but some have been relaxed. From Today Care Home residents are able to stay overnight at the homes of Loved Ones. Previously they were only allowed to leave for outdoor visits or high priority reasons like medical appointments. Also. The number of guests at a wedding is no longer capped at 30. However Venues are being asked to limit numbers based on space and enforce social distancing measures but a ban on indoor dancefloors will stay, for now. Kat southwell is having her Wedding Celebration this sunday. This is our fourth date and our second venue. The first venue unfortunately couldnt continue trading due to the impact of last year. So this sunday we are getting married at the university of oxford. I should find out more tomorrow how we will be able to do things. I think the easiest way to describe it is that it will be a blessing a blessing and a large meal. As many people would know, numbers have been lifted, actually it wasnt really in enough time for us to make dramatic changes and it is based on the size of the room that youre in, so some complex maths and calculations of the number of guests, so i think we will have just 30 guest with us On Sunday. We have a band, hopefully outside if the weather holds up. Maybe an acoustic set, a lot of guidance around Music Restriction so the guests dont need to raise their voices. Best wishes to them On Sunday. Covid i9 cases in england are once again rising. Here are the latest figures. Over 10,500 new cases have been recorded in the past 2a hours. And five people have died. The Delta Variant is covid is driving these numbers. Cases of delta are rising at about 30 a week. Because of that many doubts remain about whether people in england will be able to travel abroad this summer. Heres the Prime Minister again. When it comes to travel, we will certainly be looking at that but i want to stress that this is going to be whatever happens a difficult year for travel, there will be hassle and delays im afraid because they priority has got to be to keep the country safe and stop the Virus coming back in. The spread of the Delta Variant is putting added pressure on the uks vaccination programme. According to public Health England, one dose of the vaccine only offers 33 protection against experiencing symptoms with delta. That goes up to 81 with two doses. Right now, close to 60 of Uk Adults are fully vaccinated. Possible change to the rules for self isolation. The Health Secretary Matt hancock says he hopes to scrap the requirement for double vaccinated people to isolate for ten days if they come into contact with someone who has has covid. The same may be the case for those arriving in england. Heres matt hancock. This is something that im working on, but im taking clinical advice as you can imagine because we want to make sure that people are safe and that the systems that we have in place are cautious and manage to contain this Virus. We are piloting that approach that instead, if you had two jabs instead of having to isolate, if you are a contact, then you have a testing regime. We are piloting that now to check that that will be effective, and it is something that we are working on. We are not ready to be able to take that step yet. One more update. There are warnings from Senior Nhs figures. Today that the government needs an urgent plan for Covid Vaccine Boosters in the autumn in order to avoid a further wave of covid in the winter. Have a listen. How long to be double Jab Scare Protection for . If we do this i we are going to do boosters, are we going to mix and match . Ive had a double astrazeneca, should have been other actors in a court or a Pfizer Or Modernity . And how frequently do we need to tweak the vaccines so that we know the Flu Jab gets a or tweaked annually to take account of how much that the flu has mutated . Should i get Pfizer Or Moderna . Professor Lawrence Young is a virologist at the university of warwick. Thank you forjoining us on outside source. How would you categorise the state of the pandemic in the uk . I think we are at the crucial time where we can see the rising cases every day, but we Also have been able to break or at least weaken the link between infections and hospitalisations. We are on a bit of a Knife Edge really and it is a race as we keep saying between vaccinations and needing to accelerate the Vaccine Programme. And the spread of the Virus. It is quite a difficult few weeks ahead i think. �. , quite a difficult few weeks ahead i think. �. ,. , think. Bearing in mind it is a difficult few think.

And i think we are on track to do that. All adults vaccinated at least one jab that might be slightly more challenging but we are aiming a thing for data on vaccination levels rather than dates. But i think were heading to a situation where we will be as a population protected from severe disease. Weve seen that in real were now. We know that Double Vaccination protects from severe disease caused by the death of varying. But i think we have to see how it goes over the next couple weeks. Caused by the delta berean. Weeks.

I really think that is i really important because we know sadly the Vaccine Isnt100 protected but more importantly we know that the vaccine doesnt protect forever and one of the Big unknowns at the moment is how long does Double Vaccination actually last . We know for sure that individuals who were vaccinated at the very beginning of the Vaccine Programme early this year, predominantly the elderly and vulnerable, they dont Mount A very strong immune response anyway. It is enough to protect them but it wont last for more than ten months or so. And we need to prioritise the vulnerable and the other for booster jabs later this year but we would need to think about the infrastructure that is required to do that, particularly during a wintertime when we anticipate the rise of other respiratory infections which i think that will bring a lot more pressure on the nhs. Thank you for oininu more pressure on the nhs. Thank you forjoining us more on the pandemic in india, Tokyo And Brazil coming up within the next hour. Lets turn to belarus. They have a new sanctions from the west over the forced learning of a plane. The plane was forced to land in order to arrest this man, the belarusian genderless roman pretty savage. His Commercialflight Belarusian Genderless Roman pretty savage. His commercial flight was on its way to lithuania before. A journalist. His flight was on its way to vilinus in lithuania before it was diverted to the belarusian capital of minsk due to a purported Bomb Threat. That Bomb Threat was disputed by Eu Authorities and the airline ryanair. And belarus was condemned internationally for its actions. And now the eu, uk, us and canada have imposed further Sanctions On Belarus more than 100 individuals and entities have been hit by the sanctions, including government ministers, and the Tobacco And Petroleum industries. Heres the eus foreign policy chief, josep borrell. We have reelected to date with respect to belarus the largest package of sanctions listing six individuals or entities and in particular targeting those behind the hijacking of the plane with Mr Pruh Savage on board.

Update on the olympics spectators are going to be allowed but only so many. The games start on 23july. Heres the head of organising committee. I believe we have established a system that, as much as possible, would not strain the medical system. Lets look at whats been agreed for spectators. At each venue, the number of People Cant exceed 50 of capacity. And for the Bigger Venues there is a cap on 10,000 fans. And these are just people injapan overseas spectators are already banned. This though will be reviewed 12th Ofjuly if Covid Infections surge, its still possible No Spectators will be allowed. Our correspondent, Rupert Wingfield is in tokyo. Its a little more complicated than that because those are spectators with tickets they have got in the lottery system, that will be limited to 10,000, but there are these others groups who will be coming in as well. So there are vips and corporate guests who are counted as coming from the Organising Side and we dont know how many of them may be attending. There have been reports that for example for the Opening Ceremony onjuly the 23rd, there could be as many as 10,000 vip guests and corporate guests coming along as well. That question was asked of the Organisers Today and they said they didnt think it would be that much but they did acknowledge there will be more than 10,000 and other groups. Also students, the Student School Programme here and that will not be affected. That is being treated separately. But for the main spectators, the limit will be 10,000. For each venue or 50 of the venue if it is a small being viewed, then it will be less than 10,000. Well we already have the first olympic Athlete Injapan to test positive. Its a member of the ugandas squad. Here are the the group of ugandans at Tokyos Narita Airport On Sunday. The unnamed member is now quarantining at a government designated facility. And this is only the second group of foreign athletes to have arrived. The rest of the Group Continued on to osaka in the West Ofjapan where theyre training. I should add entire group tested negative before leaving Uganda And Everyone has been fully vaccinated. Uganda though is currently in lockdown because of a surge in cases. And this is unlikely to go down well injapan. Polls suggest public opinion is against the the games taking place now and the low rate of vaccinations injapan plays into that. Around 16 of Japans Population has received a Covid 19 Vaccination Dose so far. Far below many other wealthy countries. The news on cases is better. Tokyo reported 376 cases of covid and one death On Sunday thats 72 more cases than a week ago but this is far lower than earlier in the year. Heres are the thoughts of some people in tokyo. Translation spectators will come from various translation spectators will come from various Places Translation spectators will come from various places and translation spectators will come from various places and into translation spectators will come from various places and into the from various places and into the ring views, possibly leading to an influx of people in clusters. So this is a concern if that happens. Into the Venues. I this is a concern if that happens. Into the Venues. Into the Venues. I think the government into the Venues. I think the government is into the Venues. I think the government is thinking into the Venues. I think the government is thinking about | into the Venues. I think the I Government is thinking about the Economy Government is thinking about the economy so the decision was made based economy so the decision was made based on economy so the decision was made based on the economic impact. But i have a based on the economic impact. But i have a relative who is a medical worker have a relative who is a medical worker and have a relative who is a medical worker and under have a relative who is a medical Workerand Undera very have a relative who is a medical worker and under a very difficult Situation Worker and under a very difficult situation. So the fact that the top medical situation. So the fact that the top medical Advisers Advice to hold games medical Advisers Advice to hold games with No Spectators wasnt considered was personally very unfortunate. Next Alex Capstick from Bbc Sport has more details on the Security Measures being taken. There will be lots of strict anti covid protocols that they will have to follow. For example, there will be staggered entry and exits at all of the Venues and all of the stadiums and when they are inside, all of the spectators will have to wear a mask and they wont be allowed to shout or scream, to encourage their favourite competitors or team. And they wont even be allowed to talk loudly either. And those, we are told, those measures will be strictly enforced. Theres been a lot of events across the world that have taken place with spectators that have passed off very successfully with no cases of Covid Infections, so they are emboldened by this. There were Test Events before the recent State Of Emergency with spectators in tokyo, Test Events more recently without spectators, but they think they can do this safely. If you talk to athletes, they will tell you they would want fans in the stadium but remember, they are so used to competing over the past year and a half in half empty stadiums, sometimes a bit more or sometimes less or empty stadiums, so they are used to all of that. And what they really want is to compete at an olympics. For most of the athletes, this will be their only chance to compete in an olympic games, so they will put up with just about anything to do that. And remember, when they get there, they are going to be subjected to very strict protocol. They will have to test every day. All the athletes will be given a time start up in the morning or five in the afternoon to have a coronaVirus test. They will have to do that. If they test positive, they will be put in isolation almost immediately and there will be a second test to confirm that. Now lets turn to brazil. On sunday, it became the second country after the us to have a covid Death Toll over 500,000. There are many ways to illustrate the crisis in brazil these pictures came from copacabana in rio. 500 roses have been placed on this beach. One for each 1,000 people whove died. The banner reads � half A Million dead , where did we go wrong . This is the head of the Activist Group that organised the memorial. Translation among countless numbers of. Rievin translation among countless numbers of grieving brazilians, translation among countless numbers of grieving brazilians, families of grieving brazilians, families living with the ghost of the pandemic, fearing the outcome a loved one with an economic crisis, unemployment, and the spectre of death hovering in the homes of the dispossessed, the numbers are absurd and point towards a failure of the government. Brazil is facing a third wave of infections. And at the moment its relentless. In the past week over 500,000 new cases have been recorded. On average 2,000 brazilians are dying from covid every day. And the pandemic remains deeply political. Huge antI Government rallies took place over the weekend. This was in rio de janeiro. President bolsanaro is accused of failing to take the threat of the Virus seriously and having contributed to the severity of the crisis. Here are two protesters.

His position changed their even though this is the second weekend that we have a protest against the government. Often he is convinced by his advisers to change his position but that usually only last for about one afternoon and for example, in march this year come he first appeared with his ministers wearing appeared with his ministers wearing a mask in public for the first time, Everybody Thought was that they change for his position. The day after he was back to not wearing a mask recently hes been trying to push a bill to allow everybody that has been vaccinated not to wear a mask in public. He has been taking part recently and motorcycle rallies in favour of his own governments where no one wears a mask. So there hasnt been much affected by this protest against the government and he hasnt at all changes his position. He hasnt at all changes his position he hasnt at all changes his position.

June Running Dry and the average and part of scotland and Northern Ireland it has been a mainly dry day. Weve seen some sunshine but across Southern England where its been for some areas here very wet so far, there has been get more it rained with temperature struggling around 12, 13 degrees and these Weather Fronts moving away into tuesday and the Weather Fronts approaching northwestern areas. We will still see some fabrics of rain affecting parts of england and wales into tonight becoming compliant to parts of Southern England by morning and elsewhere we are Clearing Skies and elsewhere we are Clearing Skies and temperature quite low for the time of the year. A hint of blue shining up in parts of scotland in the highlands. A few spots with a touch of Frost Briefly Yesterday begins but with Sunshine And Scotland and Northern Ireland, the Weather Fronts coming in from the northwest and increasing cloud in the western areas with outbreaks of Rain Gradually Moving In as the day goes on. After that, and brighten up here. The last bit of rain clearing up. A bit warmer compared with today you get to see both sunny spells. Into the evening, more of scotland seen The Cloud increasing and Northern Ireland and more of a saying that Rain Beginning to move in here with the very slow process and that Weather System very much in evidence until wednesday in a really has not moved too much as well. It is scotland and Northern Ireland on wednesday, the bulk of the Cloud And Rain and some occasional outbreaks of rain and a few showers, low cloud with Mist And Fog and coasting hills and it could be Northwest England and it could be northwest England And North and west and wales a bit of rain moving in is the day goes or southern and central and eastern parts of england say find it and see temperatures are rising into the low 20s without for the most part, high teens and low 20s.

Going on through friday in into the weekend. That next system is scotland and Northern Ireland has to move southwards. With a bit of Rain Dying Out. For much of the uk, looks to be dry by The End of the week and temperatures mayjust be edging up a few degrees. Hello, im ros atkins. Welcome to outside source. Borisjohnson has addressed englands covid travel restrictions. This is going to be whatever happens a different yearfor this is going to be whatever happens a different year for the travel. There will be hassle and delays. Priority has got to be to keep the country safe. Plenty of questions remain about the Uks Covid Ro matt in the coming weeks. Two england players have been forced to self isolate after the euros match against scotland. Billy gilmour tested positive for covid. The west is applying more Sanctions On Belarus. President lukashenko has been on intense pressure. Earlier in the programme, we were discussing how the Delta Variant of covid has delayed the uks covid plans. Its more contagious and more likely to result in people needing hospital treatment. And at the moment, in the the uk, delta now accounts for 98 of all cases. And its now a majorfactor weighing on the minds of the uks neighbours as the Summer Holiday Season approaches. In italy, 26 of cases are now the Delta Variant. The government there last week imposed mandatory testing and a five Day Quarantine for uk visitors. In germany, 15 of cases currently sequenced by scientists are delta, but theyre expecting that to grow. Germanys leading virologist, christian drosten, said delta would certainly dominate the field here by autumn. In france, just across the channel from the uk, the figure is only 7 . Theyre braced for that to rise. A senior official at Public Health france described the Delta Variant as a sword of damocles hanging over us. The data ive just shown you is from the financial times data team. John burn murdoch is a senior Data Journalist there. How are you tracking how far delta is spreading in the various countries . So, the tricky thing here is that i think weve all got a year and a half to dealing with general case numbers, but what you have to do to get numbers on the percentage that are coming from a particular variant are coming from a particular variant are looking is cases that have been genetically sequenced to work at the exact makeup of that case and which variants it comes from. In the tricky thing there is different countries do very different amounts of sequencing, so the uk is now believed to sequence about half of all covid cases, whereas in other countries like italy and spain, its only around 2 . Because of that shortage of data, what we have to do is analyse the percentage of cases that are sequenced that come back as the Delta Variant and the Alpha Variant or any other, and try and forecast what thats been doing over the last couple weeks, when perhaps that data has been unattainable because these countries are doing relatively little sequencing. So, what were doing is looking at the data and the trend that those numbers have gone in over the last few weeks, and throwing that for another week or so to see where is most likely today. Thats where we get those numbers you just quoted. When you consider what i was just saying, that officials in france are saying, that officials in france are saying even though its on 7 , theres still a great reason to be concerned, is that born by the Analysis Youve done . It concerned, is that born by the Analysis Youve done . Analysis youve done . It is. Essentially, Analysis Youve done . It is. Essentially, what Analysis Youve done . It is. Essentially, what we i Analysis Youve done . It is. Essentially, what we see i Analysis Youve done . It is. Essentially, what we see is| Analysis Youve done . It is. I essentially, what we see is that there has been a pretty consistent growth in prevalent in the Delta Variant in all number of countries over the last few weeks. Weve seen it here in the uk, we saw it in india. Theres pretty strong evidence that in places like portugal and russia, the variant is now dominant. Also in the us, its in the double digits, so the fact that we see this all over the place, the fact that we in the uk are several weeks further down the path all point to the fact that the numbers will continue to rise over the coming weeks.

The data we have in the uk from the last month or so is probably the best Data Anyone has in the world on how vaccines fare against this variant, and what they have shown is after two doses of the vaccine in particular, they do offer strong protection. Whether against infection or hospital. The good news is if those other countries who have this Sword Hanging over them are able to ramp up their Vaccination Campaigns in the next few weeks, they may be able to soften the impact that the Delta Wave has when it arrives. ,. ,. , a impact that the Delta Wave has when it arrives. ,. ,. , ~,. , impact that the Delta Wave has when it arrives. ,. ,. ,. ,. , it arrives.

Our videos are on the Bbc News Website each week as well, and you can listen to Audio Versions of some of our previous reports in the uk, a Public Inquiry has heard how schoolchildren were given Blood Products infected with hiv in whats been described as the worst Treatment Disaster in nhs history. The inquiry into how Tens Of Thousands of people were given contaminated blood in the 1970s and � 80s has begun by hearing evidence from former pupils who attended a Boarding School for physically disabled children in hampshire. Our Health Editor Hugh pym reports. They are among the survivors, but theyve lost at least 72 former schoolmates because of treatment with tainted Blood Products. Today, some living with Hiv And Hepatitis c gathered wearing their Campaign Ties at the inquiry, with a week of evidence ahead on what happened at treloar treloar� s a college in hampshire. Garyjoined The School at the age of ten, and soon, was being treated for his haemophilia with a Blood Clotting agent known as factor eight. Later, aged 18, he and some others were called in by a doctor and told theyd been infected with hiv. He said, we dont know a lot about it and the outlook� s not good. We Cant Guarantee that youd be alive in a couple of years, and that was it, really. Treloar� s college, shown in this 1970s film, was a Boarding School with a specialist nhs Haemophilia Treatment provided at the site. A statement from The School said it was completely supportive of the Campaign Forjustice by former pupils after they were harmed at the nhs clinic. Of more than 100 pupils since the mid 1970s, only about a quarter are still alive. I have guilt still being here. Its a stigma, losing 72 friends, school friends, who youve known since you were that high, so thats been difficult. I think im an angry old man now. At the inquiry, bottles with messages for lost Loved Ones are on display. Victims and families have long argued there was an official cover up. Contaminated Blood Products were imported, some made from plasma from donors who were paid, including prisoners. The inquiry will soon be hearing from some of those who were senior Health Officials and other key Decision Makers Back in the late � 70s and early 1980s. Kenneth clarke, who was Health Minister for some of that time, will Also give evidence. But this week, the focus is very much on the Heart Rending treloar� s saga. Our parents and us were blissfully unaware of the risks that were being taken with our young lives and of the cruel tragedy that was about to unfold. I would like to thank my family for their Support And Love through the years. And finally, the Comradeship And Strength of the remaining treloar� s survivors. Without them, i would not have been able to do this today. The bbc� s upm reporting. Hugh pym. Really important elections in ethiopia. The Worlds Attention is on them because of serious violence there last year, and because the Prime Minister a nobel Prize Winner is accused of ignoring major issues with the election process. Here are pictures from Polling Stations in addis ababa, but not everyone in ethiopia is taking part. Voting has been postponed in 20 of constituencies, primarily because of security concerns, and primarily in areas where local forces oppose prime Minister Abiy ahmed. Heres more from catherine byaruhanga, whos in the Prime Ministers hometown. This is his home town, so he is trite popular here, but across this country, there were questions about whether this vote should go ahead quite popular. Some of the traditional Bigger parties has said their members have been harassed by their members have been harassed by the government, and they arent allowed to operate freely. We understand from the Election Board that 20 of constituencies across this country will not be taking part in this vote. This is primarily because of security reasons, but Also logistical reasons. Now, in the north of the country, in the Tigray Region, that whole region will not be voting today, and thats because of the conflict between the government and rebels. Weve Also heard from the united States Department and the European Union, which have questioned whether this election should take place because of the circumstances in this country. We wont know what European Union observers think of this election. Thats because in may, the eu withdrew, citing a lack of agreement on key parameters. Ethiopia responded, saying observers were neither essential nor necessary to certify the credibility of an election. And heres Prime Minister ahmed shortly after he voted. Everybody is here for free, and i hope everybody is here for free, and i hope It Everybody is here for free, and i hope it will everybody is here for free, and i hope it will be the best election in our history and to understand this story and why it matters, we need to keep in Mind Abiy ahmeds rise to power. He became Prime Minister in 2018 after protests against the government dominated by politicians from the Tigray Region of ethiopia. Then, he dissolved the political alliance which had been in power since since 1991, and he created a new party, with the aim of reducing ethnic divides. But the former dominant group from tigray didntjoin. The international context is that in 2019, he won the noble Peace Prize having ended ethiopias long conflict with eritrea. Now with leading a new political party, and with some Opposition Parties boycotting this election, hes a favourite in these elections. Heres my Colleague Kalkidan Yibeltal in addis abada. Particularly, this is based on the fact that some of the major Opposition Groups are not running, participating in the selection. The rest of the keir members as their reason, they cite for these election their members. The ruling party, prosperity party, and the Prime Minister to cause some good results here, and they are the front runners. Some key Opposition Parties are missing. Among these parties are. These parties have massive support in the countrys largest region. Their absence has prompted some to question their credibility to the selection. In other parts, there is quite a number of Opposition Groups running, and the government says this is going to be a free election like it has not seen before in the countrys recent history. Not all of the parties arent taking part. One of the main Opposition Parties taking part is the ethiopian citizens forjustice. Heres its leader. Ican i can tell you we will have given them i can tell you we will have given them a i can tell you we will have given them a run i can tell you we will have given them a run for their money and done a campaign them a run for their money and done a campaign of almost part of every a campaign of almost part of every part a campaign of almost part of every part of this country. We have had some every part of this country. We have had some problems in some places. At The End had some problems in some places. At The End of had some problems in some places. At The End of the day, i think, i hope this will The End of the day, i think, i hope this will not The End of the day, i think, i hope this will not be an election of the past this will not be an election of the past this this will not be an election of the past. This will be an election that will determine the future, that this country will determine the future, that this country is will determine the future, that this country is starting in a new trajectory.

You can see tigray marked in the north of ethiopia. Voting there has been pushed back to september. Thats because of the conflict between rebels and the government. These pictures are from a refugee camp. A un backed study said over 350,000 are living in Famine Conditions in part because of the fighting, but the Prime Minister doesnt accept this.

The conflict in tigray has been one of the reasons that some of the critics have been asking for a further pushing of this election. These elections have been postponed twice, and critics are saying they need to be delayed even further so that some of the problems in the country can be discussed through their local. Resolved before so there is a meaningful progress across the country. Inafew in a few minutes we will go further south. Rememberthe in a few minutes we will go further south. Remember the stones found in a village in South Africa . People thought they were diamonds. Unfortunately, its not the case. Long covid is a name for the condition suffered by some people who suffer ill health, sometimes for months afterwards. Graham satchell has been to a Research Centre that studying it. Cheering and applause. Whenjocelyn alpas left hospital last year, she had no idea just how long it would take to recover. Even just to talk was an effort for me, even just to stand. I was really breathless. Very short of breath, even at rest. I was so frail, i was so ill, i was so extremely vulnerable, really. Jocelyn is not alone. This is raj, leaving intensive care. Bye, raj. I could not stand, my foot would just drop. There wasnt strength. I could not stand after closing my eyes, everything, body would just shake. Doing so well. And done. There are now more than A Million people in the uk, suffering from long term after effects of the Virus. Ive seen it described as the pandemic after the pandemic. I think Long Covid is undoubtedly an Umbrella Term for lots of different conditions ongoing fatigue, breathlessness, lots of impact on patients mental health, problems with sleep, sometimes cardiac issue, and a whole range of different symptoms. The Rehab Programme runs for six weeks at a time. They have seen improvements in breathlessness, fatigue, mental health, quality of life. A year after they left hospital, Jocelyn And Raj are Also on the mend. Jocelyn is a junior sister at the hospital where she caught covid and eventually became a patient. This programme was set up by her colleagues in the first place, specifically to help her. After six weeks of rehab, intense exercise, i was able to walk on my own. Can you imagine . Butjocelyn is now back at work, on the Respiratory Ward at epsom hospital, once again helping people to fight this Virus. This is outside source. Our Lead Story concerns borisjohnson, warning it will be a difficult year for travel on the uks reopening. All restrictions of covid are supposed to be lifted on the 19th of july, supposed to be lifted on the 19th of july, but that remains under review. A report of uso � s. My gosh theyre all going against the wind, the winds 120 knots west. An encounter between a us Navy Fighterjet and an unidentified Flying Object or what the pentagon prefers to call an unidentified aerial phenomenon. Look at that thing its rotating Lieutenant Commander Alex dietrich was an operational Fighter Pilot for ten years. She was with three other pilots on a routine Training Flight when they witnessed an unidentified object in the skies off the coast of Southern California now known as tic tac, due to its resemblance to the mints. It was travelling very fast and very erratically, and we couldnt anticipate which way it was going to turn, or couldnt understand how it was manoeuvring the way that it was or the propulsion system. This official footage from the us department of defense, published for the first time in 2017, totally changed the debate surrounding ufos. Reports of strange objects in the sky that were once ridiculed are now seen as having potentially serious national security implications. Leslie kean, who broke that story, says the stigma attached was intentional. There was a actual, sort of, a policy to use ridicule to kind of damp the whole thing down that goes back to the � 50s, and it became just part of a culture, and since then, we were just kind of left with this attitude of ridicule and the culture, and we werent Hearing Anything about it from our government. Not only was that damaging to witnesses, but Also say some who spent years working inside the pentagon to security. This is a mammoth intelligence failure. We havent suffered the consequences we did in Pearl Harbor and 9 11, but the problems are precisely the same. You had a Radar Operator seeing japanese bombers and fighters approaching. He didnt report it to anybody, the information didnt get up the chain. 9 11, we had Cia And Fbi not talking and not sharing information. In this case, its worse weve got more like ten agencies not talking and sharing information. We travelled to area 51, a Military Base deep in the nevada desert, which like what the us government knows about ufos is shrouded in secrecy. Some believe though have no evidence that a ufo is being reverse engineered behind the gates few have clearance to enter. Those whove been mocked for monitoring the skies here, convinced were not alone, now feel vindicated. The Ufo Community has been seeking disclosurej for 50 plus years or more, i and i think this is a good step forward for the Ufo Community, i for the government to acknowledge the existence of the phenomenon, i and let people know that Theresl Something going on outi there on a regular basis. Whatever its conclusions, for many, publication of the report alone marks an important milestone on the path to understanding these unexplained encounters. Sophie long, bbc news, in the nevada desert. To South Africa now. Did you see the story where it was thought diamonds had been found by a Cattle Herder, and the area thought it may have hit the jackpot . Well, weve an update. The stones were first discovered by a Cattle Herder in Kwazulu Natal province. Thats about 300km south ofjohannesburg. The news prompted people to head to the village and start digging. At one point, there were up to 3,000 people in the open fields where the stones were found. Heres one of them. Isaid no, i said no, let me come and take a try. Only to find i was going to find, im holding it. As you can see, its for real. But bad news, im afraid. The stones have been tested theyre quartz. This is ravi pillay, a senior politician in the province. He says the tests were Conducted Conclusively these are not diamonds. He added that the value if any of the quartz has yet to be established, but made clear that the value of Quartz Crystals is very low compared to that of diamonds. This has all taken place in one of South Africas poorest regions, and No Doubt this will come as a blow to the thousands who hoped for diamonds. Heres our correspondent nomsa maseko injohannesburg. Hopes were dashed yesterday as the provincial government of Kwazulu Natal announced that the shiny, beautifulstones Kwazulu Natal announced that the shiny, beautiful stones found in the village were actually not diamonds, but Quartz Crystals, whose value is very little compared to that of diamonds. This is an area where people who lived there hoped that it would create jobs, people who lived there hoped that it would createjobs, if indeed people who lived there hoped that it would create jobs, if indeed those were diamonds, because that area has the largely has been largely ignored by the government in terms of making sure that there are basic services. Theres very little infrastructure in the area and jobs are very scarce. Are saying that they are still trying to evaluate how much value they carry, but what the geologists who are there yesterday, who said in terms of value, the Quartz Crystal were very low in terms of value compared to that of diamonds. But that has not stopped people from continuing to dig in the area because there are lots of people who dont believe what the government has said to them. In fact, they believe the government is trying to trick them into bringing more people who are not from the province to dig up what they still believe are diamonds. Just before he rack up, let me show you pictures of the Us Navy testing its newest Aircraft Carrier before he rack up. £40,000 explosion. That was detonated as part of a test called full Ship Shop will some. The Us Geological Survey registered the explosion was a 3. 9 magnitude earthquake. It will undergo modernisation, maintenance and repairs. If you want more analysis from outside source, a good place to find it is on twitter im bbcrosatkins.
