Makes his first stateMent in thejob. People in england are very likely to be able to return to pretty much Life Before Covid on i9july, we owe it to the british people, who have sacrificed so much to restore their freedoms as quickly as we possibly can. Lets begin in north aMerica. An extreMe Heat Wave in parts of the us and canada is smashing records. However, forecasters warn the brutal temperatures havent peaked yet, 20 Million people are under a Heat Warning or advisory, from canada to the Mexico border. Washington and Oregon States are under excessive heat. Temperatures are expected to hit 47 celsius later. This thats Hotter than dubai. Warnings are also in place in parts of california, nevada and wyoming. Meanwhile, in canada, states are under dangerous Heat Levels throughout the week. These areas have faced intense heat for days. Have a look at this Heat Map of oregon and washington on sunday. SoMe areas reached 45 celsius, while portlands International Airport marked its highest ever temperature since historical records began. That was 44. 4. These areas arent used to extreMe heat or equipped for it. Were told bars and restaurants, and at least one swimming pool, are too Hot to function. Shops have run out of portable Air Conditioners and fans. And people are desperate to cool off. In seattle, residents are keeping cool under fountains, while in portland, these Cooling Centres have sprung up. There are three In The City. Heres a health official. This is a place where anybody can coMe to get a break from the heat, and its really important to give your body soMe rest period, because its work for your body to keep you cool on friday, to allow more people to get away from the heat, washington and oregon relaxed their Covid I9 Capacity limits at air conditioned Shopping Malls and movie theatres and at swimming pools. There are 11 in portland. By sunday, all of them were at capacity. Then there are reports like this one in the new york tiMes. It s been a blessing, said the Hotel s general manager. For him maybe. Lets hear from others in seattle. It is probably. May be 60, 70 degrees is a great day, everyone is outside in shorts and t shirts. This is ridiculous. Ifeel outside in shorts and t shirts.

Lytton� s official high Temperature Today is 46. 6 c. Lytton, British Columbia, now holds the record for canadas all tiMe maximum high. The previous record was 45. 0 C Set in 1937. Lytton wasnt alone. More than a0 other spots in British Columbia set new records. In coastal vancouver, temperatures peaked at 31 degrees and many people headed to the beach. And heres a climatologist from Ment'>Canadas DepartMent for environMent and Climate Change on why this is unusual. This is june. This isjune. I Mean, the dog days of sumMer dont usually coMe until late august, latejuly and august, so its early, particularly in British Columbia. It is spreading really up for the Arctic Circle down to california, the desert South West, and its duration of it. Its not a one day wonder. This is like a three, four day long heatwave, and as you get longer, it causes more heat is used. They can stand one day a bit but not seven days. It is taking its toll on people. One day of it. Forecasters are blaming the Heat Wave on a Me'>Heat DoMe of High Pressure thats stretched across california to canadas arctic territories, and all the way inland through idaho. Its now am in portland and its 39 degrees celsius. The forecast is for 47 degrees by lipm. Nicholas bond is a climatologist and joins Me from seattle. Temperatures there are expected to reach 42 degrees. Thank you very much forjoining us. Before we get into the macro questions about what is Happening here, i mustjust ask you, what is it like at the moMent . It is brutal. In my house it like at the moMent . It is brutal. In my house right it like at the moMent . It is brutal. In my house right now, it like at the moMent . It is brutal. In my house right now, which it like at the moMent . It is brutal. | in my house right now, which lacks Air Conditioning, like most houses in seattle, it is soMething like 33 degrees. Last night, when we went to bed, it was 36 or so in the house, and so, yes, quite uncomfortable. And how do we explain what is Happening . Happening . Yes, it is a highly unusual weather Happening . Yes, it is a highly unusual weather pattern. Happening . Yes, it is a highly| unusual weather pattern. That Happening . Yes, it is a highly i unusual weather pattern. That is bringing everything together to extreMe heat, especially to the Pacific Northwest. The desert South West of the United States had its ten a week or two ago, and that ridge of much higher than normal pressure has kind of evolved to really deliver the goodies to the Pacific Northwest of the us, and so this is, like you are reporting, a major event that has impacting how it impacted much of the Western Us and canada. I it impacted much of the Western Us and canada it impacted much of the Western Us and canada. I Mentioned one record that has been and canada. I Mentioned one record that has been broken and canada. I Mentioned one record that has been broken in and canada. I Mentioned one record that has been broken in canada and canada. I Mentioned one record that has been broken in canada and| that has been broken in canada and that has been broken in canada and that the previous record dated back to the first half of the last century, so soMe people will be saying, look, you dojust get extreMely Hot moMents from tiMe to tiMe, but presumably, we need to see this in the context of Climate Change . This in the context of climate chan. E . , this in the context of climate chance . ,. V this in the context of climate chance . ,. � ,. , change . Yes, thats true, and climate Change Change . Yes, thats true, and Climate Change is change . Yes, thats true, and Climate Change is real, change . Yes, thats true, and Climate Change is real, the. Climate change is real, the temperatures in the sumMer tiMe in the Pacific Northwest, the daytiMe temperatures have risen a degree, a degree and a half. Night tiMe temperatures have risen even more systematically, and so that Baseline Warming Hasjust made it systematically, and so that Baseline Warming has just made it that much worse around here, and it makes what are considered warm events around here, you know, when it gets to 3235 here, you know, when it gets to 32 35 or soMething, notjust the record breakers like this, then it makes itjust that much more likely for those to Happen. I makes itjust that much more likely for those to Happen. For those to Happen. I was interested for those to Happen. I was interested that for those to Happen. I was interested that you for those to Happen. I was interested that you were l for those to Happen. I was interested that you were saying for those to Happen. I was interested that you were saying your hoMe, lots of buildings in seattle, are not built to cope with these kinds of temperatures. Presumably in the long run, that is soMething your city will have to change . City will have to change . Well, that is true. Of the city will have to change . Well, that is true.

Of the major cities in the i is true. Of the major cities in the United States, seattle is dead last in terms of what they called Me penetration of Air Conditioning in residences, and so, yes, we are going to have to deal with that, because this is a taste of what we are going to be facing more often in the future. To be sure, this is a very extreMe events, highly unusual weather pattern, so we might not get another heatwave like this for a decade or two, but still, its warming, and its soMething were going to have to deal with. Nicholas bond, thank you forjoining us. Nicholas bond, thank you for oining us. ~ nicholas bond, thank you for oining us. ~ ,. , i want to spend the next few minutes looking at the islamic State Group in africa. Its a focus now because more than a0 countries are attending a summit in roMe to discuss the threat that is poses. You can see the foreign ministers gathering in here. This coalition is led by the us and was set up over 6 years ago. Earlier, the us secretary of state, antony blinken, held a joint Press Conference with italys foreign minister, luigi di maio. Heres what Mr Blinken had to say. There is a greater imperative now than at any other tiMe that i can think of for cooperation among like minded countries, because the simple reality is that not a single one of the issues that we have to deal with that are having an impact on the lives of our citizens, in italy, in the United States, around the world, whether its Climate Change, whether its the pandemic, whether its the destructive impact of new technologies, whether its the threat posed by terrorism, not a single one can be effectively addressed by any one Country Acting on its own. And then this is luigi di maio. Translation with the support of the United States and translation with the support of the United States and many translation with the support of the United States and many other United States and many other partners. United states and many other partners, i have proposed a Working Group partners, i have proposed a Working Group to partners, i have proposed a Working Group to identify and halt the terrorist group to identify and halt the terrorist threat posed by the islamic terrorist threat posed by the Islamic State in the african continent, by putting in place specific continent, by putting in place specific counterMeasures, defined in coordination with local partners alongside the multilateral initiatives already in place. We have initiatives already in place. We have welcoMed soMe african countries as observers have welcoMed soMe african countries as observers to the ministerial Meeting as observers to the ministerial Meeting that are not Members of the coalition, Meeting that are not Members of the coalition, including burkina faso, ghana coalition, including burkina faso, ghana and coalition, including burkina faso, ghana and mozambique. Lets look at what we know about the islamic State Group. Its Members adhere to an extreMe interpretation of Sunni Islam this and they see anyone who doesnt follow the saMe creed as unbelievers. The group can be traced back to 2004 and the formation of a branch of the terrorist Group Alqaeda in iraq. The group formally declared a caliphate in 2014 Merging its forces in iraq and syria. But by march 2019, is had lost control of all the land it once occupied. So how has a group that has been largely defeated in its base in the Middle East managed to gain a foothold elsewhere . Dr Karin Von Hippel is from the think tank rusi. There always are local groups in many there always are local groups in many countries that have grievances against many countries that have grievances against the many countries that have grievances against the governMent and organised militias and other against the governMent and organised militias and other ways against the governMent and organised militias and other ways of against the governMent and organised militias and other ways of Fighting Militias and other ways of fighting back, and many see that if they put this label on themselves they will be feared more, and they have been quite brutal, as We Saw in mozambique, with the beheading of children and all the sorts of horrific activities. Its worth noting that jihadists have been active in africa for a long tiMe. And the threat of terrorism in the region is increasing. The Islamic State and their affiliates have a growing influence particularly across Sub Saharan Africa from mozambique in the south, to countries further north, like mali and niger. At least 50 villagers were killed in two attacks in the drc last week. And in mozambique, fighters affiliated to Islamic State, are in De Facto control of much of the province of cabo delgado. In nigeria, there has been a Power Struggle between the islamic State West Africa province also known as Iswap And Thejihadist group boko haram. The bbc� s Chris Owokor is in nigerias capital this is his assessMent of the Islamic States growing popularity. What they are doing is trying to fill this vacuum of governance. They can take over a community, and then soMetiMes provide soMe aMenities, like digging wells, in soMe of those communities, providing security for soMe of the people, even the people themselves are said to be happy to pay tax to them to allow them economic or comMercial activities within their area, and these, many feel, not available even from the governMent themselves. Im joined now by our security correspondent, frank gardner. Thanks forjoining us. I suppose, as ever, it is easier to identify the threat than to respond to it, so im curious as to what these 40 countries who have coMe together are proposing they do that they have not already been doing . Weill. Proposing they do that they have not already been doing . Already been doing . Well, they are cominu already been doing . Well, they are coming very already been doing . Well, they are coming very late already been doing . Well, they are coming very late to already been doing . Well, they are coming very late to the already been doing . Well, they are coming very late to the gaMe, already been doing . Well, they are coming very late to the gaMe, to l already been doing . Well, they are | coming very late to the gaMe, to be honest. Forthe coming very late to the gaMe, to be honest. For the last two years at least, not only Islamic State, but also alqaeda affiliated groups have really been on the rampage in parts of west africa, particularly in the Sa Hill area and the Chad Basin around north east nigeria, burkina faso. And caMeroon. Sahel area. But they have recently spread to the drc and mozambique, and seem to be unstoppable in these areas. So it is all very well having this Meeting, and great that the us is back in the saddle and actually engaging with allies. But it is very late, all of this, in dealing with the problem here, which is that the fact that are driving this terrorism run very deep. They are not soMething that can be solved by police and military actions alone. What are they, these factors . They are things like unemployMent, poverty, Climate Change, porous borders, corrupt, predatory police forces, drought, flooding, things like that. Many of these drive migrants and refugees northwards across the sahara towards the Mediterranean, seeking to get out of this horrible Mess they find themselves in. So what have they achieved today . They have pledged a certain amount of money to deal with propaganda, because much of this is about communications. But here is the problem. If you are growing up in one of these areas and you see absolutely no economic opportunities for you, and you see your local police or governMent either absent or shaking you down at checkpoints for money, then the temptation to go off and join an arMed group that is going to offer you a salary, a gun, and a bit of status, is a strong one, and that is what they are up against in trying to deal with this problem. We against in trying to deal with this roblem. ~. ,. ,. , problem. We have only a minute, but i must ask problem. We have only a minute, but i must ask you. Problem. We have only a minute, but i must ask you, what problem. We have only a minute, but i must ask you, what is problem. We have only a minute, but i must ask you, what is the i must ask you, what is the connection between the eye escapes in africa and the ones that you and i in so manyjournalists talked about in the Middle East a few years back yeah pretty tenuous, to be honest. SoMe of the court of Hs Leadership are still hiding out in syria and iraq, soMe have moved to afghanistan, but they took a strategic decision soMe months ago to make africa a centre of operations, because they see a number of opportunities there, so what Happensjust as number of opportunities there, so what Happens just as was Mentioned there, you have local groups with local grievances to are not particularly ideological, frankly, but they set up a group and then they swear an oath of allegiance to they swear an oath of allegiance to the leader, to the emir, the commander of the faithful, in this case, Alcoa Reishi back in syria, and once he approves of their operations, he says, yes, you are now official profits of ois, which is what they are up against in the sahel, west africa, mozambique and the drc. ,. , ~ ,. , next to poland. Polands archbishop says he and his colleagues feel great Me-and-pain'>ShaMe And Pain for the child victims of Sexual Abuse by roman catholic priests. The church has released a report detailing the numbers of children who have been abused by its priests in recent years. The church said it had received 368 reports of Child Sex Abuse between july 1, 2018 and end of 2020. Here is the head of The Church. Translation . When we listen to the stories of people who have been abused by clergy, we feel great shaMe, pain and compassion. On the other hand we are grateful and respectful of those who chose to share their harm by revealing their traumatic stories. For many, it is a return to a wound inflicted many decades ago. The numbers in this report coMe on top of another 600 children whose abuse was docuMented by The Church in 2019. Those two reports so far are part of an ongoing investigation. Adam easton has more from warsaw. 90 of the alleged abuse cases have already been proven or are still being investigated and almost half of them involve children aged 14 or under. The alleged abuse Cases Date back as far as 1958. The highest number of incidents took place as recently as 2018 and 2019. Announcing the report, polands primate archbishop asked for forgiveness for what he called the evil of The Church. He said the figures dont tell the full story of the problem because too many, many people here in poland still feel unable to coMe forward to tell others about their trauma. The rising rate of reports does show that more and more people are coming forward though that is partly because of the release of two popular docuMentaries on the subject, the first of which was viewed more than 20 Million tiMes in the first week of its release. That caused nationwide outrage and spurred polands bishops on to take more action. But much, much more work still needs to be done. The Ment'>Uk GovernMent are still set on removing the uks Coronavirus Restrictions in three weeks tiMe. In truth, no date we choose coMes with zero risk for covid. We know we cannot simply eliminate it. We have to learn to live with it. We also know that people and businesses need certainty, so we want every step to be irreversible. Sajid javid is the Ment'>Uk GovernMents new health secretary. And he could not have been clearer about what will Happen when covid restrictions are removed. I want to see the restrictions lifted and life going back to normal as quickly as possible and right here now, thats my absolute priority. I want to see those restrictions lifted as soon as we can, as quickly as possible. In terms of the Road Map to that, you will have to wait for my stateMent to parliaMent later today. Irreversible . Its going to be irreversible. There is no going back and thats why we want to be careful during that process and i will have more to say about this during my stateMent. Maybe it will be irreversible. Maybe there is no going back. But this governMents predictions on what the virus will do and what the governMents responses will be, have not all turned out as planned. If we look at last year, this is what we were told by borisjohnson in march. We can turn the tide within the next 12 weeks and i am absolutely confident that we can send Coronavirus Packing in this country. Lockdown did lift in earlyjuly and cases did drop in the sumMer. But covid wasnt beaten and many thousands more people would die in the autumn and winter. But injuly, as lockdown eased, Borisjohnson One again outlined how the year might go. It is my strong and sincere hope that we will be able to review the outstanding restrictions and allow a more significant return to normality from november at the earliest, possibly in tiMe for christmas. In fact, there was nothing normal about november. The uk would go into a second lockdown. And in november, mrjohnson was asked about christmas. To which he responded, i have No Doubt that people will be able to have as normal a christmas as possible. And in mid december, his Message was the saMe. We dont want to, as i say, to ban christmas, to cancel it, and i think that would be frankly inhuman, and against the instinct of many people in this country. Three days later, the priMe minister had announced a Raft New restrictions for christmas. The kent variant, now known as alpha, had driven cases to such a degree he acknowledged a change of course was needed. As well as that, after christmas, a further lockdown followed. In february of this year, as the governMent announced its roadmap out of it, its language was more cautious. Our approach is to move with the utmost care and advancing in four steps, each with a minimum of five weeks apart, so we can judge the impact properly of each relaxation before we move on, and we will be led at every stage by data, not dates. Data not dates was the mantra. Step 1 was not before 8th March This was when schools would reopen. This Happened on tiMe. Step 2 would be not before 12th april. This included gyms re opening. This Happened on tiMe. Step 3 was not before may 17th. This included the relaxation of rules on outdoor socialising. This Happened on tiMe. The final Step Step 4 was scheduled for no sooner than june 21st. In earlyjune, the governMent was clear this was still under review but there was nothing in the data to suggest a delay would be needed. But then the Delta Variant ensured there was soMething in the data and the date was pushed back tojuly 19th. And this week, the priMe minister has again been asked if that will go ahead. We are very likely to be in a Position Injuly the 19th to say that that really is the terminus and we can go back to life as it was before covid as far as possible. Irreversible is the important word there. As the Epidemiologist Devi Sridhar notes, irreversible has never paid off for any politician who said that anywhere in the world during this pandemic. Certainly Mrjohnson S forMer chief advisor Dominic Cummings sees Dominic Cummings is unconvinced. For all his animosity for the priMe minister, mr cummings understands the importance of clear, simple, strong political Messaging. He used just those tactics to great effect when in Mrjohnson S team. And there s No Doubt that for Sajid Javid and borisjohnson, being seen to be committed to ending restrictions is politically important. For example, heres the frontpage of the daily telegraph, a paper with a close connection with the Conservative Party and its supporters. Javid to push for Swift Easing of restrictions, were told. It goes on thats important political Messaging. And both Men will also know very well that saying soMething is irreversible is irreversible it can be quoted back at you. But if 2020 showed mrjohnson that predicting what Happens next in this pandemic can Mean getting it wrong, given his current polling and a recent by election victory, it may also have taught the priMe minister that if he does say soMething optimistic that then doesnt coMe to pass, the political cost is one he can live with. So when were told the end to restriction will be irreversible, its perhaps best understood as a hope as much as a commitMent. Just a reminder . Just a reminder the main story is a Heatwave Playing Out in parts of china and the United States, to the west of both countries. We are keeping an eye on oregon and its best known city, portland. It is already setting records. We talks to already setting records. We talks to a scientist earlier and he said that the temperatures are setting records. It is still in the morning, and its forecast that by the afternoon, the temperature could end between 35 50. Quite extraordinary. Washington and oregon, as we can see, ourfocus, but further inland, so are idaho, wyoming, none of this will coMe as a particular surprise to people living in california. It has been wrestling with very high temperatures for a number of years now, and once again, affected by this heatwave. Much more on all the stories we are covering through the bbc website. I will see you in a couple of minutes. Hello there. Another fairly disappointing day across much of the uk. We will hold onto this theMe for the next few days, the not seeing the next few days, the not seeing the best of the dry and bright sunny weather, and further south, holding onto the clouds. They will be showers or even third read on pause at the tiMes, or because of this area of low pressure, which is packed itself across the bay of biscay. This front is generating the Kind And Salary bursts of rain. Quite damp across parts of england and wales this evening and overnight, thunderstorms across the south tending to Peter Out, but there could be further heavy showers developing here throughout the night across southern and South East areas. Further north, clearerskies, dryer, temperature 9 10, and another muqqy dryer, temperature 9 10, and another Muggy Night to coMe for england and wales, 12 15 in towns and cities. Tuesday, a Repeat Performance. Best sunshine across scotland and northern ireland, northern england. Still quite grey for the northern coast of scotland into the northern isles. The cloud will continue to affect much of the midlands, central southern wales, southern and South East england. We could see rain, soMe of it can be thundery. Best temperatures to central scotland, 24 25. So for wimbledon it looks like it will stay rather grey, further spots of rain likely on tuesday and wednesday. Thursday and friday, high Pressure Building and we see conditions approved with sunshine around and it will feel warMer as well. This is the picture as we head to a tuesday evening. We held on to Cherry Burst of rain across the southeast. SoMe of it can be thundery, soMe low Cloud And Mist also affecting naughty coasts of england and into scotland. Probably the best of the clearest skies towards western areas as temperatures range from around ten to maybe 13 or 14 degrees. Out of wednesday, we start to see the conditions improve. Low pressure starts to clear away from the South East. It could return to soMe eastern areas. This is certainly one to watch, but generally, High Pressure was that building in for thursday and friday, for this Loan Moves into the weekend. Conditions will continue to improve by thursday and friday across all areas. Brighter as well across the south and South East, feeling woman champion, before becoming unsettled again by the weekend. Hello, im ros atkins, this is outside source. You cant breathe, its so Hot. Definitely how to Wear Shoes. Even the grass, its like, No Thank You. Australia is grappling with outbreaks of the Delta Variant. And residents in nearly every state are facing new restrictions. Although the outbreak is small cities like sydney are in full lockdown for the first tiMe since early 2020. In miami, Rescue Workers are searching for survivors in the rubble of an Ment-block'>ApartMent Block that collapsed five days ago. They are pinning their hopes on survivors who may be in an air pocket. Lets turn now to the rise in cases of covid 19 in australia. Restrictions have been Re Introduced in four states following outbreaks of the virus. There are now 130 cases in new south wales. The two cases in Western Australia have been linked to that outbreak there are new restrictions in cities there. And there are cases in queensland and the Northern Territory which have been linked back to international travel. The quarantine free Ment'>Travel AgreeMent between australia and New Zealand has been suspended. Sydney australias most populated city went into lockdown on saturday. This was one of the main streets In The City at lunch tiMe on monday. Restaurants, bars and cafes are shut and stay at hoMe orders have been issued. The full lockdown will last two weeks. This new outbreak is predominantly cases of the Delta Variant. Heres the priMe minister of australia. The Delta Variant is proving to be a far more difficult eleMent of this virus than we have seen to date. This is notjust the case in australia, it was certainly my experience when i was overseas and the Delta Variant is presenting very different challenges from those we have faced in the past and that was the topic of discussion at our Meeting this evening. The australian response to the pandemic has relied heavily on keeping the Borders Closed. And its been relatively successful so far. Australia has registered just over 30,000 cases. And 910 deaths due to covid19 so far all of which were in 2020. At its peak in September 2020 australia registered 0. 86 deaths per million people. Compare that with the us who at their peak in 10. 3. And the uk, where there were 18. 1 deaths per million injanuary 2021. But that system might not be as secure any more. Heres phil Mercer. Australia has essentially becoMe a Fortress In March Of Last year. It found most foreign travellers from coming into the country but the lockdown here in sydney really has highlighted two flaws in australias coronavirus strategy. Firstly, the border. Citizens and permanent residents are allowed to return but they face a mandatory two Week Stay in Hotel isolation. This Sydney Cluster is linked to a Limousine Driver who was apparently working with international Flight Crew at sydney airport. So in soMe instances, infections have coMe out of those Quarantine Facilities into the broader community and that certainly seems to be what has Happened here. Also, Australias Vaccination Roll out has been very slow to compare to other countries, fewer than 5 of australians are fully inoculated. Lets take a closer look at Australias Strategy to containing the pandemic. Well start with the Hotel-quarantine'>Hotel Quarantine. That has been key. From late March 2020 anyone coming from abroad into australia has had to quarantine for two weeks in an Hotel. Public support for the Borders Being Closed has always been high in may 79 of australians supported the policy. The economy is losing an estimated 5. 9 billion us dollars a month due to the shut borders. And then theres this warning from experts at the university of sydney. That the closed borders are and of course there is a huge personal cost to all of this, especially for the 20,000 australians who live abroad. Heres Courtney Bembridge with one mans story. I recently spoke to a west australian man naMed Mes-herbert'>JaMes Herbert and he described living in belgium and he described living in belgium and getting a frantic call from his sister to say his mum was unwell. He was living there for many years, he hadnt seen his mum for two years and he tried to get back as quick as he could. He looked at all the available roots but there were none. He had to find another way, he went to Melbourne which is across the other side of the country and applied for an exemption to enter Western Australia. Health officials said no and the premier described it as a risk of living overseas that this may Happen to you but what this Meant forjaMes was he was in a Hotel room, window less, by himself as he loved that his mum had six open 12 hours to live and he tried to say his goodbyes video call. But there are also those that want to strengthen the borders. The Deputy Premier of Queensland Saidwe have been saying for months and months and months now that Hotel-quarantine'>Hotel Quarantine is not working. Our international borders are supposed to be closed right now. Hotel quarantine of international travellers is our single greatest source of covid into our country and into our communities. The governMent has said that they are planning on keeping the Hotel-quarantine'>Hotel Quarantine in place until 2022. And today they made the following changes in an attempt to secure it. For mandatory post quarantine testing, for Return Travellers and close contacts, 2 3 days after travellers have finished their quarantine period. Further, we will be, we have agreed to ensure we are accommodating international quarantine residents or other high infectious Risk Quarantine residents from other low risk residents. We agreed for mandatory Vaccination And Testing all Quarantine Workers and oil workers directly and indirectly involved in manage quarantine, including workers involved in the transport of quarantined individuals and the reasons for that regarding recent experience i think is fairly self evident. But long term the plan from the governMent and other experts is vaccination. But as weve heard earlier the Vaccine Rollout in australia has been very low. About 5 of australians are fully vaccinated. For context, among the most vaccinated in the world is israel with nearly 60 . In the uk 48 of the population have had both vaccines. And the us has vaccinated 46 . Vaccines are now a big part of the plan. Heres the priMe minister again. The key part of that plan is to ensure we maximise the vaccination of the australian population as soon as we can. That there is a keen sense of urgency about that and that is where we are focusing our attention right now. And now the Me'>Vaccine ProgramMe is open to those under 40 and their being asked to consider the Astra Zeneca vaccine. Before this was the advice to those under sixty the covid 19 vaccine by pfizer is preferred in adults aged under 60 years. This was due to the increased risk of thrombosis in other words a Blood Clot following Astrazeneca Vaccine in those under 60 years. The risk of a Blood Clot from Astra Zeneca if youre under 50 is around 3 in 100,000. This risk has caused Vaccine Hesitancy among many australians with many canceling their appointMents either for a first or second vaccine. The president of gps told the bbc now the risk is growing, here is the governMent advice. Astrazeneca, it remains a very effective and very appropriate vaccine. The advice was always was that was not a suitable vaccine, you should make a risk based decision and for those. The other side to this is that the australian governMent has been slow in securing other vaccines. There are two which are approved for use, thats the pfizer and the astrazeneca. The governMent has warned there wont be enough pfizer ones until later this year. Here was the priMe Ministers Response when asked about approving use of the moderna vaccine, which is approved by several countries including the us and the uk. To get earlier supplies wherever possible and are doing so even as we speak. Of course we will do that. We have additional supplies available of the Astrazeneca Vaccine, all the available pfizer vaccines are being distributed to all the states and territories. There are 290,000 astrazeneca doses available right now. They were made available again to the states and territories tonight. To the states and territories toniaht. ,. , tonight. SoMe people will be watchin tonight. SoMe people will be watching this tonight. SoMe people will be watching this in tonight. SoMe people will be watching this in countries tonight. SoMe people will be i watching this in countries which have national strategies for coping with covid. Does australia always deal with this on a state by State Basis when it coMes to restrictions . Yes, but what has been remarkable about the australian response is it is a federal system and for the first tiMe the federal and state governMents have Met regularly to collaborate on how they approach this nationally. Not that you would from all the various restrictions that get imposed state by state over the course of the pandemic, but what it has also Meant is that those governMents are both liberal and right and left, so they are co opted into this national response and at the moMent the stated goal of that response is to eliminate this violence. As you have shown tonight, thatis violence. As you have shown tonight, that is looking increasingly unlikely and unsustainable for the country but they are not yet at that point where they are addressing what their long Term Strategy is going to be.

They saw neighbouring New Zealand eliminate the virus and they wanted that also. They did it and they have been congratulating themselves because they look to the uk and us and they said, we dont want any of those mass death tolls and by and large they are right to do that but what it has also Meant is they have been victims of their own success. It has led to huge complacency in the governMent in securing an procuring vaccine supplies, there are like itself was slow and now we have seen hesitancy because the Vaccine Stop Transmission and when you have a zero Covid Society they look at vaccines allowing the passage of the infection and think, we have done one better in eliminating it so why notjust keep those Borders Closed .

But that is a conversation for a future tiMe. At the moMent the priority for the australian governMent is to get these vaccines out the door and because of the hesitancy, just as of tonight, there are 2. 6 million astrazeneca just lying around that gps are waiting to deliver but no Will Take.

The family of a toddler who died when swallowing a battery in the uk are calling for awareness of the dangers. Harper Lee Fanthorpe was a typical bright, curious, effervescent, happy two year old. Five weeks ago, her older sister was looking after her and she suddenly becaMe ill. No one knew that shed swallowed a tiny Button Battery, and the acid was burning through a major artery. 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 shed swallowed anything. I said, not that i know. Thats when they told Me they thought shed swallowed a Button Battery. So, we actually went up then to childrens Intensive Care where we were waiting for more news. And hejust said, im sorry. Thats what i can reMember. I can reMemberjust letting a loud scream out, shouting, no. And i had Tojust 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. 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 that they are relatively easily accessible, i guess, for little children . And we actually found the remote without the Button Battery in. So i turned it around, and itjust caMe out. It wasnt even secure. Harper lees granddads built a Memorial at the bottom of the garden. The family really hopes that by talking about her, other lives will be saved.
