There are questions about the appointment of gina about the appointment of Gina Coladangelo to the board of the department of health, why she was given a parliamentary pass, and reports the former Health Secretary used a personal E Mail Account for government business.

Mps made it clear to Matt Hancock that the former Health Secretarys authority was left in tatters after he was caught on camera breaking social distancing guidelines. One big question now is how the fallout from the whole affair hampers the Governments Response to coronavirus as a whole. And affects a public� S Perception of the standards which the government expects. Ministers say the progress of the Vaccination Programme is crucial to when remaining restrictions can be lifted in england. Sajid javid will update mps on that this afternoon, but sounded determined there should be no further delay. I sounded determined there should be no further delay no further delay.

Labour have accused a new Health Secretary of going back. Labour have accused a i new Health Secretary of complacency over those comments, a sign of the scrutiny he now faces at a crucial time in coronavirus pandemic. Lets talk to jonathan now. Matt hancock may have resigned, but there are many other questions about his role that have to be answered . There are and there may well be difficult moments for the government to come as the fallout from his departure from government continues. Labour are pressing this on several fronts and there is a request for an investigation into mr Hancocks Behaviour in line with whether he breached the ministerial code, so all eyes are on the prime Ministers Adviser On Standards in government although it would be borisjohnson himself it has to prompt such an investigation. Then theres the question of the camera in Matt Hancocks office and how that was installed or if it was already there and how access was obtained to the footage from that camera. And then theissue footage from that camera. And then the issue of the government because my Credibility And Authority as a whole over the imposition of restrictions and asking people to follow the rules that remain in place. The new Health Secretary Sajid Javid will have little time to dwell on the circumstances of his return to government. There has been talk of him taking perhaps a more hawkish approach to restrictions and lockdowns than his predecessor and speaking this morning he stressed the need to get back to normal as quickly as possible and said there would be no going back. It is though the Prime Minister that makes a final decision on these things and we have heard from borisjohnson this morning, saying that as he understood the country he thought was set fair for the remaining restrictions to be lifted onJuly The 19th. Sajid javid will confirm the 19th. Sajid javid will confirm the State Of Play in the House Of Commons this afternoon. The Prime Minister has also been answering questions about how matt Hancocks Resignation or departure from government was handled. Some have suggested he should have sacked them sooner but the Prime Minister said he read the story on friday, they had a new Health Secretary imposed on saturday and that is about the right place to proceed, he said, during the pandemic. Right place to proceed, he said, during the pandemic. Thank you. Lets talk to during the pandemic. Thank you. Lets talk to our during the pandemic. Thank you.

On the lifting of restrictions it looks like they will stay till the 19th Ofjuly. Looks like they will stay till the 19th Ofjuly 19th Ofjuly. That is right, with those comments 19th Ofjuly. That is right, with those comments we 19th Ofjuly. That is right, with those comments we have 19th Ofjuly. That is right, with l those comments we have heard 19th Ofjuly. That is right, with those comments we have heard from the Prime Minister, July The 19th is the Prime Minister, July The 19th is the date they are looking at. There was a possibility that ministers had made clear they would look at it on July The 5th in england, beginning the easing of restrictions and that is the first decision that Sajid Javid will have been involved in as Health Secretary, it wouldnt have been a very difficult one because all the data seems to be pointing to waiting a bit longer. But then will come this crucial decision about whether to go ahead onJuly The 19th and it seems as if he does want to play a part in easing restrictions as quickly as possible and getting things back to normal as quickly as possible. But he will have been briefed by scientific advisers, Health Advisers in government. He will have looked at all the sage papers and he will probably briefed the comments a bit more on that this afternoon with the latest data. And he will have to bear in mind that there are still some uncertainties. Yes, it is the case that cases are rising pretty rapidly but much faster than hospital admissions, and thatis faster than hospital admissions, and that is seen as broadly a positive sign that the vaccines are working very effectively, but a key priority as ministers have been making clear is getting second doses, as many as possible done over the next week or two. It is currently 62 of the aduu two. It is currently 62 of the Adult Population who have had to make jabs. One Expert Today on Bbc News Professor Peter Openshaw was saying ideally you would get up to 80 before he personally is a scientific expert would be happy to see the full Easing Onjuly Scientific Expert would be happy to see the full easing on july the see the full easing onJuly The 19th. See the full easing on July The 19th. The data is still not far off. So whether the number gets towards that remain to be seen. So whether the number gets towards that remain to be seen. Portugal has brought in 14 Day Quarantine for unvaccinated visitors from the uk. Youll be exempt if you can prove youve been fully vaccinated against coronavirus for at least two weeks. Our Transport Correspondent Caroline Davies is here. Why have they brought this in . The portuguese government have said this is about trying to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Clearly they seem to have a concern about they seem to have a concern about the Uk Number of cases. There is also a concern about the spread of the Delta Variant as well. We are starting to see an increasing number of countries increasing their restrictions on Uk Arrivals. Last week the german chancellor Angela Merkel urged other European Countries to put Quarantine Measures in place for Uk Arrivals as germany does. That is clearly a huge step to take, if you are a country like Greece Or Spain who rely on Uk Tourists coming over during the course of the summer because for obvious reasons it would limit the number of visitors there. However even those some of these countries, we are starting to see they are adding in restrictions on to Uk Arrivals, so on Friday Malta said Uk Arrivals, so on Friday Malta said Uk Arrivals would have to show they had been vaccinated or they would have to quarantine. Overnight portugal have said the same thing. Spain have to take out and said they havent gone quite as far as that but their policy is that you either need to be vaccinated or have a negative covid test. Up until now there are no restrictions on that trouble. We are seeing that International Travel is notjust seeing that International Travel is not just about which country the uk puts on the green list, it is also about which countries are going to allow us in as well. Nearly at this stage they can change their minds just as quickly as the Uk Government can. ~ just as quickly as the Uk Government can. ~ ,. , we were hearing from our Health Editor Hugh Pym of the importance of getting vaccinated as quickly as possible before july getting vaccinated as quickly as possible Beforejuly 18th in england. A study has found that a third dose of the Oxford Astrazeneca Vaccine given more than six months after the second does boost the immune system. The researchers, from the oxford vaccine group, say it isnt clear whether a third dose before winter will be needed in the uk. They also say it would be wrong to give third doses while some countries had no vaccines at all. Our Health Correspondent Naomi Grimley reports. The uk has been vaccinating vast numbers of people for months now. And its more important than ever that people get two jabs as infections are rising again with the advent of the more transmissible Delta Variant. But its actually another variant, the beta one, first discovered in south africa, which is now the focus of oxford universitys latest vaccine trial. The universitys top scientists say theres a good reason for that. The Delta Variant, we are seeing very high levels of protection in the uk, over 90 for the vaccines were using in the uk, so there is no immediate urgency around the Delta Variant. This is much more about being prepared for this quite testing variant, the south african one, and also future variants. The Oxford Team also said today that a third dose of their vaccine given more than six months after the second boosts the immune system. But Expert Opinion is still divided on whether Booster Doses should be roled out. I think it is very likely that we are going to need to give Booster Doses as the Immune Response to the vaccines wane, but we still do not really know how long lasting or how stable the Immune Response is going to be to the existing vaccine regimes. I think we need to watch and see whether it is clear that the vaccine induced immunity is waning. And then consider boosting. There was some good news also for countries which do not even know when their second doses of the Oxford Astrazeneca Vaccine will be delivered. Oxfords research suggests that longer delays between the first and second doses, perhaps even of up to 45 weeks, actually leads to a stronger Immune Response. Naomi grimley, Bbc News. In miami, Rescue Workers say they have not given up hope of finding survivors under the rubble of a collapsed florida apartment block. More than 150 people are still missing, with nine confirmed to have died in thursdays disaster. Cbs News Correspondent David begnaud is in miami. Do rescuers still think they yet may find survivors .

The last thing youre worried about offending someone. A lot of questions are being asked of officials as to why are you moving faster . So officials continue to come out and say we are moving as fast as we can while also ensuring the safety of our people. They dug a trench underneath the building, a lot of times you see rescuers digging from on top, removing the rubble out of the way and reaching down. In this case they are going underneath and through this tunnel that is nearly a0 feet deep below the building and that is how they have recovered nine bodies so far. It is still a Search And Rescue operation. There are teams from Israel And Mexico here working with the teams in south florida. It is not a Recovery Operation yet. Hagar is not a Recovery Operation yet. How much closer is not a Recovery Operation yet. How much closer our is not a Recovery Operation yet. How much closer our way is not a Recovery Operation yet. How much closer our way to finding out exactly why this building collapsed . I dont think we are close at all. There is a 2018 report that found significant cracking in the Building But Nothing in the report seem to indicate a catastrophe. Most experts who looked of the report believed there were a number of factors that if you add them all together led to this collapse in the middle of the night while so many people were sleeping.

Last month, a two year old girl called Harper Lee Fanthorpe died in hospital after swallowing a Button Battery from a remote control. Those kind of batteries are found in lots of products from watches, to toys, and kitchen scales. Now, five weeks after Harper Lees death, her Mum And Sister are calling for more awareness about the dangers the batteries pose to children. Theyve been speaking to phil mackie. Harper Lee Fanthorpe was a typical bright, curious, effervescent, happy two year old. She loved to dance, didnt she . She really loved to dance. The best thing she listened to is, she loved rave music, rave and Dance Music Anything else, she wouldnt dance to, would she she should always give a little fist pump. Five weeks ago, her older sister was looking after her and she suddenly became ill. Her head just went backwards. Then she sat back up and blood came out. So i rang an ambulance straightaway. It must have been very frightening for you . Yeah. She wasnt responding and they told me to put her on her side. So she could still breathe and she just went wheezy. Her eyesjust closed and she couldnt talk back to me. It was like she wasnt there. No one knew that she had swallowed a tiny Button Battery, and the acid was burning through a major artery. She had to have two litres blood transfusion. She left surgery. Shed still got my phone, she was still talking. The last thing she ever said to me was, mummy, i need you. I told her i loved her. Thats the last time i saw her. Halfway through her surgery, a surgeon came out and asked if she had swallowed anything. I said, not that i know. That is when they told me they thought she had swallowed a Button Battery. We went to childrens Intensive Care where we were waiting for more news. Hejust said, im sorry. Thats what i could remember. I can rememberjust letting a loud scream out, shouting, no. And i had to go and tell my girls, because they were only letting Two Of Us in a room, and i had to tell my girls that their Baby Sister had passed away. Shes left a very big hole. Very. And when you realised what had happened, what did you then think about those batteries, and particularly about the remote control in this instance, but the way they are relatively easily accessible for little children . And we actually found the remote without the Button Battery in. And so i turned it around and itjust came out. It wasnt even secure. There was no lock. There was no little thing you had to push to get it out. Itjust slid out. Harper Lees Granddad has built a memorial at the bottom of the garden. The family really hopes that by talking about her, other lives will be saved. Phil mackie, Bbc News, stoke on trent. Our top story this lunchtime. The Prime Minister says Coronavirus Restrictions in england are likely to remain until the 19th Ofjuly. And coming up A Chance To Make History Gareth Southgates Rallying Call to his england players, 2a hours before their crucial clash with germany. Coming up on the Bbc News channel. Theyve waited two years, so why not a couple of hours more, as the start of wimbledon 2021 is delayed by rain with plenty of british interest, including Andy Murray, on day one. After it was cancelled last year, wimbledon is back. One of the Sporting Highlights of the british summer is returning this afternoon as part of the governments covid Pilot Test events. The championships will start with 50 crowds, building up to full capacity for the finals. British Number Onejo Konta has already been ruled out after one of her team tested positive for covid. Our Sports Correspondent Joe Wilson reports. Two years to get everything perfect thats a lot of brushing. Its all the same, and different. This years essential accessory, spectators must show a negative lateral Flow Test or proof of complete vaccination. In this way, Spectator Capacity begins at 50 and should increase. Preparing for all weather is, as ever, advisable. The players are driven in from their hotel in central london, their biosecure bubble, while risks are minimised, never eliminated. Johanna konta prepared by winning on grass in nottingham, but when one of her Support Team tested covid positive she was named a close contact. Into isolation and out of wimbledon. Its a reminder, The World has changed since 2019. Recall Simona Halep won the last womens title. Sadly, she is injured, but Serena Williams is back. A record Equalling 2ath major title, thats just what we are discussing. I dont hear the chatter, actually. Im really good at being in a bubble, literally the Covid Bubble and then the serena bubble, so im really good at it. I had some big opportunities, but, yeah, its good. Ifeel like as long as im physically ok, i have some great chances. In the mens, well, 2019 produced one of the shimmering matches of this golden era, nearly five hours of those two. Roger and novak are both here this year. Djokovic has already won the australian and french titles, but today he plays a teenager from surrey. Beware, novak. Jack drapers ready for you. 100 . I guess theres a few ways of looking at it, but for me, i feel, what an opportunity, you know, to get on court against The Worlds best Player And Show him what ive got. Drapers inspiration was watching Andy Murray win wimbledon in 2013. Well, this year, murrays been practising with the eight time champion. Plenty more Roger Federer to come. Murray is in action later today. He plays these days for the love of it. Tennis remains the same, and perhaps we all look for the reassuringly familiar. Lets talk to joe now. Has there actually be any play yet . Their house, absolutely. Under the roof of Court Number one. The grounds are a little bit dispiriting with the cover is still on but there are two roofs at wimbledon these days will stop the Number One bowler assumed got a couple of Big Breaks In Herfirst round match. The womens singles are wide open. In terms of Andy Murray looking ahead, the centre court schedule, which begins at around 1 30pm should be unaffected so we expect to see Andy Murray on court around tea time. We hope he will be here at wimbledon for a long time. He isjust trying to enjoy every minute of his career and i guess we should do the same. There are two british men seeded this year, Cameron Norrie and dan evans, both have had good years so perhaps we should look to them for real possibilities of going into the second week. We will see all sorts of victories and defeats here. I think wejust hope of victories and defeats here. I think we just hope the players are knocked out on court and not because of covered the mac. Despite the weather, it does feel special. It does feel significant at wimbledon this year simply because i think all of this, even this, even wimbledon, we have learnt we cant take it for granted. We have learnt we cant take it for ranted. ,. ,. ,. ,. Granted. Coverage on 5 live and bbc television. The japanese Carmaker Nissan is set to create up to 2000 newjobs in sunderland by expanding its production of batteries for electric vehicles. Industry sources suggest the company could also announce the launch of a brand new electric Crossover Model later this week. Our Business Editor Simonjack is here. As you say, the uks biggest car producer, nissan, on Thursday Morning will announce a major expansion of battery production. It already makes some batteries for its Leaf Model which has done for several years, Leaf Model which has done for severalyears, but Leaf Model which has done for several years, but this will be an order of magnitude much, much bigger. Because it is such a Step Change people are suggesting this could mean a whole brand new model could mean a whole brand new model could be introduced. Those numbers are speculation at the moment in terms ofjobs but if you include the Supply Chain it could run into several thousand. The government will clearly be delighted about this. It said it wanted to back the transition to electric vehicles and will be putting in substantial but undisclosed financial support to do this. The question then will be what about the rest of the industry. Nissan, im all rightjack. It will all be electric vehicles so what will happen at places like vauxhall . I am told talks there are going positively so i expect the governor to be on the front foot when it says this is a vote of confidence for a new electric future in the north east. Good news all round. Thank you, simon. A 28 year old man has admitted killing a University Librarian during a series of stabbings in Birmingham City centre last september.

Its just over 2a hours before England Face germany in their crucial Euros Game at wembley. Manager Gareth Southgate says the last 16 encounter is a chance to put some of their defeats against the germans behind them, and make some new memories. Our Sports Correspondent Olly Foster is with the england squad, and has been looking back at the history between the two sides. Muller, 3 1. Since 1966, england have tried to beat germany in knockout matches at major tournaments four times. England are out of the World Cup. Be it on penalties in the semifinals. Oh, no . Or last time out, that one sided World Cup encounter in south africa. Memories there of the England Goal which should have stood. But also the four perfectly good german ones. The result has always been the same. But that last competitive defeat was 11 years ago, and this England Group are looking to create their own history. You know, just thinking about it now, it gives me goose bumps. Obviously, being able to be involved in a match as important as this for your country, its something that obviously you want to do well in and you never want to forget. The players travel to london later ahead of tomorrows match. Those weve spoken to over the last few days acknowledge that they need to improve on their performances so far at this tournament, but thats a similar sentiment coming out of the germany camp. Whereas england qualified for the last 16 with a game to spare in their group, germany were minutes from going out before their equaliser against hungary. You hear about germany being this and being that, and then you look at the Team Sheet and theyve got four World Cup winners and about another six Champions League winners. So, huge big game experience. They wont fear coming to wembley. Well have to play at our very best. Weve got to be tactically well prepared. Physically well prepared, and psychologically well prepa red. The players have had the best part of a week to prepare for this. For southgate, this has been years in the making. Olly foster, Bbc News, st georges park. And apparently they have been practising penalties, and each player according to reports has their own Bespoke Plan should it go to penalties. Parts of the us and canada are experiencing an unprecedented heatwave. Temperatures are over a0 Degrees Celsius in some places, and officials say the extreme hot weather is dangerous. Oregon, Washington State, and idaho are all affected. People are being told to stay at home, water is being delievered to homeless people and cooling centres have been opened to give shelter. Lets get the Weather Forecast for the uk. Good afternoon. No heatwave on the cards across the south of the country for the next few days. Low pressure will continue to bring thick cloud, damp weather, showers and thunderstorms. Further north, not bad at all with higher pressure, mostly dry and lovely spells of sunshine. High pressure toppling in across northern areas. This is the low pressure across france and the Bay Of Biscay bringing damp weather too much of england and wales, particularly the south. A clump of rain pushing into the south east, across london and the Home Counties over the last few hours so a disappointing start to wimbledon. We could see a few showers in the afternoon with a little bit of sunshine. Some could be heavy. Staying damp on tuesday and wednesday but then promising for The End of the week as High Pressure builds in and it should turn drier with spells of sunshine. A mixed picture. The rest of the day, staying cloudy across much of england and wales with showers and thunderstorms breaking out across southern counties of england as the sunshine comes out and then lists temperatures. The best of the sunshine in the north, scotland, Northern Ireland and the far north and away from the coast we could see 20 to 2a in Central Scotland will stop damp and humid and cloudy weather continuing across england and wales over the night with pulses of rain, heavy and thundery, a muggy night. Further north in the clear skies, a Cooler Night but still great in the north of scotland and the northern isles. For the mainland of scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland, a fine and sunny day tomorrow. More cloud and damp weather for the Midlands South and south wales. Some heavy and thundery bursts of rain across southern counties of england. Temperatures in the high teens. Possibly 2a in Central Scotland. Condition is improving as we move through the week with low Pressure Clearing from the east, high Pressure Building across many areas before this low arriving for the weekend. At least on thursday and friday most of us are looking better. Good spells of sunshine and feeling warm across the south with showers at the weekend. Warm across southern areas for The End of the week but it will not be a heatwave like we have seen across the Pacific Northwest and british columbia. Incredible temperatures here. Just a few of the temperatures we had on sunday. Breaking all time records, as you can see. Temperatures have been vicious across parts of Washington State and oregon with seattle breaking records. Looks like it was a very hot for the next few days but slowly those temperatures will start to return back to normal as we head through the week. We can go live to wembley before we leave with John Watson we can go live to wembley before we leave withJohn Watson building up to the england against germany game tomorrow. As an England Supporter I dread these clashes but most of the squad were not even born when Gareth Southgate missed his penalty at euro 96. , � ,
