Uks internal market. In australia, a two Week Covid Lockdown for sydney and surrounding areas, after a rise in cases of the Delta Variant. A Big Day for Gareth Bale and his team as wales take On Denmark in the last 16 of the euros. Good Afternoon And Welcome to Bbc News. The Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, is under pressure to resign after pictures emerged of him kissing an aide in his office in breach of Coronavirus Guidance on social distancing. Mr hancock said he was very sorry for letting people down. Borisjohnson has accepted his apology and considers the matter closed. Our political correspondent Helen Catt reports. Yesterday, it was on one front page. Today, the image of the Health Secretary kissing his aide in his departmental office is on many more. Matt hancock has apologised for breaking the social Distancing Guidance he helped set and promote, but fresh questions are being raised. He might stay in office, but can he do hisjob . And i think it is fatally compromised in a situation where he does not seem to abide by the evidence that he wants us to follow and which is critical to our safety and making sure this third Wave Isnt much bigger than we fear. Sorry im late. The worry amongst some conservatives is that this incident could become another Barnard Castle a reference to the public backlash against the Prime Ministers aide, dominic cummings, who travelled to durham during lockdown last year. He kept hisjob, which led to accusations of a, one rule for them, another for Everyone Else culture within government. It is such disrespect to these people, who, you know, 150,000 plus people have died, so there are countless bereaved families around the country who had to socially distance at funerals, were unable to hug their Loved Ones. We only had five people at my Dads Funeral and Matt Hancock is having a jolly with his lady, who. Taxpayers paying her her wages as well. It is really. It adds insult to incredible injury. Questions are still being asked about whether Mr Hancock could have broken the Ministerial Code of conduct and about the appointment of Gina Coladangelo to a role on the board of the department of health. Downing street sources reiterated today that the Prime Minister considers the matter closed. Matt has apologised. He has clearly said that he made a mistake. He regrets that and the Prime Minister has accepted that, considers the matter closed. Very clearly, there is still a huge task for the Country And Matt as Health Secretary and all of us in cabinet, we need to get on with that job. Questions continue this weekend about whether these revelations make it possible to Matt Hancock to do so. Helen catt, Bbc News. Let s talk to tim montgomerie, the founder of Conservative Home and a writer for Reaction Magazine he was an adviser to borisjohnson in 2019. Hi tim, thanks Forjoining Us. First hi tim, thanks for oining us. First u, does hi tim, thanks for oining us. First up. Does au hi tim, thanks for oining us. First up. Does an of hi tim, thanks Forjoining Us. First up, does all of this hi tim, thanks Forjoining Us. F sit up, does all of this matter . It does unfortunately. It matters on two key ways. First of all is the public� S Confidence in the Government PolicyOn Covid, and if the Co Architect of that Policy Isnt abiding by it it will peak this general sense that some people have to abide by the rules but if you are, for example, how your bigwig who wants to go to the euros finals, you dont have to. If it matters that we have these covid rules, then public confidence in their matters, too. I think public confidence will be eroded because of this. I also think it matters from just the public View And Confidence in the government. We have had a number of Government Ministers now in various different scenarios facing ethical questions and all of them are individually defensible, but none of them seem to resign. That is a bible passage for the Conservative Party to stand out of the country. Of the Conservative Party can show that ministers take responsibility for their actions and sometimes resign, that undermines public confidence in the integrity of the government. Trier . Public confidence in the integrity of the government. Very quickly, what has done of the government. Very quickly, what has done the of the government. Very quickly, what has done the most of the government. Very quickly, | what has done the most damage, of the government. Very quickly, what has done the most damage, Matt Hancock . Hypocrisy, Orthe Handling by borisjohnson of the matter . In a by Boris Johnson of the matter . In a few Da S ByBoris Johnson of the matter . In a few days at by Boris Johnson of the matter . In a few days at this by Boris Johnson of the matter . In. Few days at this rumbles on it may well be that i would answer Boris Johnsons handling of the question. If he doesnt Get A Grip on it, that could be the big issue. Probably at the moment it is still the general accusation that Matt Hancock has acted hypocritically. That is probably what is at the front of the minds of critics at the moment. What minds of critics at the moment. What are grassroots minds of critics at the moment. What are grassroots conservatives think about all of this . It is are grassroots conservatives think about all of this . About all of this . It is divided for what im picking about all of this .

It is divided for what im picking up. There is a i what im picking up. There is a general appreciation amongst conservative activist that Matt Hancock has done a good job as Health Secretary, not least because of the very successful Vaccine Roll out that he has had a huge part in. I am an admirer of Matt Hancock in. I am an admirer of Matt Hancock in many ways. I dont want him to leave government forever. Perhaps he should just step back for 12 months, 18 months, just to communicate to the public that when you make an error at me when you make an error at me when you make an error it has consequences. It wasnt enough from a Tank Up is my Point Of View when Niall Ferguson committed a similar indiscretion, he thought it was right that he stepped back from his position. Matt hancock called for the medical adviser to Nicola Sturgeon in scotland to go when she committed an indiscretion, so an apology i dont think white watches for conservative actors activists orfor for conservative actors activists or for the country as a whole. That is what you or for the country as a whole. That is what you think or for the country as a whole. That is what you think matt or for the country as a whole. That is what you think Matt Hancock should do. What advice would you give to borisjohnson if he were still in that Role Today . He give to Boris Johnson if he were still in that Role Today . He hasnt taken much still in that Role Today . He hasnt taken much of still in that Role Today . He hasnt taken much of my still in that Role Today . He hasnt taken much of my advice still in that Role Today . He hasnt. Taken much of my advice recently still in that Role Today . He hasnt taken much of my advice recently so i dont know of im offering this advice more in hope than expectation, but i think the Conservative Party, at least traditionally, has been the party where it says that law is important, but much more important is a general sense of responsibility and society, people taking responsibility for their own actions. If you get a cumulative effect where conservative ministers and mps one after another looked like they are not taking responsibility for their actions, Thatis Responsibility for their actions, that is bad for conservatism in a fundamental way, as well as electorally. I would like him to take more of a lead and asked for his ministers to step aside, not to end their careers completely. People should come back after committing a mistake, people should be forgiven, but at least acknowledge that a mistake has occurred, as it has on this occasion. Mistake has occurred, as it has on this occasion this occasion. Turning to Gina Coladangelo. This occasion. Turning to Gina Coladangelo, what this occasion.

I think generally the whole system of having advisers outside of the civil service for ministers is a good one and often those are friends because they are the best placed people sometimes to give very candid advice that you dont get former civil servant. The problem on this occasion was that she was appointed to an Oversight Role, and i think if you are friendly with someone, taking an Oversight Role was the wrong position for her to be appointed to. Certainly, of course, now as soon as the affair we have seen reports of began, i think certainly she should then have stepped down perhaps quietly from that position because clearly what she was compromised in her relationship with Matt Hancock as someone giving advice to the Health Department about how it should be run. , department about how it should be run,. ,. , department about how it should be run. ,. ,. , department about how it should be run. ,. ,. , run.

From what i understand there is a concern in 10 Downing Street that if Matt Hancock was to go there would be an awful lot more scrutiny of some allegations surrounding other ministers, the whispering around westminster, and you could get a domino effect, but i think that would be the wrong decision and i think public confidence in a Government Minister standing up at those famous 10 Downing StreetPress Conferences giving us guidance On Covid will be undermined so long as ministers who are abiding by those rules stay in place. Rules stay in place. Thank you very much. Adults in england are being invited to Grab A Jab this weekend at hundreds of Walk In centres offering coronavirus vaccinations.

The dups Electoral College has endorsed Sirjeffrey Donaldson as the partys next leader. He was the only candidate to put his name forward for the position after Edwin Poots resigned last week, only three weeks in the job. Sirjeffrey received the backing of 32 votes out of 36 votes from the partys mlas and mps. His leadership will have to be ratified at a meeting of the dup executive, set to take place next week. Sirjeffrey said Todays Decision is a first step in Building Unity and strength of the party. It has been a difficult and perusing period for the dup and we all acknowledge that and we have all played a part in that, but this morning we are seeing our party coming back together again and uniting around a vision for Northern Ireland, and Northern Ireland that is that peace with itself, a Northern Ireland that is stable, and Northern Ireland that is stable, and Northern Ireland that is stable, and Northern Ireland were our political institutions deliver for everyone that lives and works in calls this place home. Of course, there are issues and challenges that we face, not least of those is the protocol. We are concerned about the harm that the protocol continues to cause to our economy, to our way of life and all that we ask is unionists is what the Belfast Agreement says, what the St Andrews Agreement says, that the people of Northern Ireland have decided to remain part of the united kingdom, that the principle of consent underpins all that we do, and yet the protocol has undermined the principle of consent, it is undermined Northern Ireland has not placed within the union. Northern ireland was given the right under the Act Of Union to trade freely with the rest of our own country and all that we ask is for that right to be restored, that We Can create trade freely with the rest of the united kingdom and continue to trade with our neighbours and there must be a solution to that. We need to find that solution and my priority, as well as working with my colleagues at stormont to deliver on good Health Care for the people of Northern Ireland, to tackle the growing waiting list, to continue to work on educational underachievement, on the recovery of our economy post pandemic, our priority as well would be to right the wrong that has been done by the imposition of this protocol and to restore Northern Irelands place fully within the uk internal market. I will continue to engage with the governments, much work has been done but more needs to be done, to find the solutions to these issues that will help put Northern Ireland back on track, to help put our economy back on track and to ensure that we have political stability, the stability that i know the vast majority of people in Northern Ireland want to see, Northern Ireland want to see, Northern Ireland at peace with itself, and Northern Ireland that is stable and prosperous, delivering for everyone.

But it is still not certain how many were inside when it collapsed. 0ur Correspondent will grant sent this report from miami. The longer this Search And Rescue goes on, the more harrowing it becomes for the families. Around the clock, day and night, the Rescue Teams continue to work at this site, sifting through the Rubble Brick by brick if they have to. They are also using Sniffer Dogs to find if there is any remote possibility of locating families or individuals still alive. 0bviously holding that hope is the hardest thing for the relatives. They know that as each our passes, the possibility of seeing their Loved Ones again is becoming more and more and more remote. President biden has said that federalfunds and remote. President biden has said that federal funds and federal support are available for florida and he said he understands that this period of waiting is the hardest part.

We test those dogs, such as tiny i cracks where Building Movement would have happened within these processes of structural collapse, and we are looking at a Pancake Collapse in miami. Any cracks in those buildings, we test dogs to 12 foot down, but we know in reality the dogs have located further distances, and where we have not been able to comprehend, the dogs have located that live Human Sense and i will progress and continue to do so until the rescue faces and process.

That is purely so We Can get those people where We Can assess them and help them, so it is very, very important that we teach these dogs to discriminate between live and deceased. Forthe discriminate between live and deceased. For the next ten days at least, or even further if need be, we will continue to run the light casualties Search Dogs. 0nce we will continue to run the light casualties Search Dogs. Once the Dog Coordinators have to make a painstaking decision to move into the recovery phase, where we start to take apart the building and is recovered to fatalities, then the Cadaver Dogs will come in. They will work exactly the same as the live Search Dogs but they will locate the cadavers for us to reunite them with their families because they deserve just as much respect to retrieve those missing people as those casualties that are still alive.
