Against ukraine on saturday. Nearly 2000 covid cases in scotland have been linked to people watching Euro 2020 football matches. Dozens reported dead in canada as the heatwave continues. Police in Vancouver Report 130 sudden deaths. Most are heat related. And coming up at 8 30pm, a look at the Night Sky. Well be speaking to one of the shortlisted candidates from the royal 0bservatory� s Astronomy Photographer of the year competition. A us court has quashed Bill Cosby� s conviction for sexual offences. The 83 year old Actor And Comedian has served more than two years of a 3 10 Year Sentence at a State Prison near philadelphia. He had been founding guilty of drugging and molesting X Basketball Player Andrea Constand and has served over two years in prison. Ken belkin is a Criminal Defence Attorney in new york. This is his reaction. Whatever happened between Mr Cosby and ms constand, I Cant say, but i didnt think it was fair for him to be retried and for them to admit five witnesses who really were not there. When you put a witness on the stand, it has to be a witness who is relevant, meaning that they have some information that bears on whether or not these allegations are true. And these five people they put on the stand, they were not witness to the events between Mr Cosby and ms constand. They were witnesses, you know, to other incidents that are being alleged, but those other incidents were not the subject of the trial. A short time ago the decision to free Mr Cosby came after the State Supreme Court felt that a agreement with the prosecutor had been agreed not to charge us or cosby and that the witnesses tainted the trial. The reasonin the witnesses tainted the trial. The reasoning is the witnesses tainted the trial. The reasoning is notjust that the witnesses tainted the trial. The reasoning is not just that there was an agreement by a prosecutor in pennsylvania not to prosecute. That is certainly pennsylvania not to prosecute. That is certainly a big part of it, but there is certainly a big part of it, but there is is certainly a big part of it, but there is a is certainly a big part of it, but there is a final point on the pencil which there is a final point on the pencil which is there is a final point on the pencil which is that in relying on that agreement not to be prosecuted, he then went agreement not to be prosecuted, he then went ahead and gave testimony in numerous civil depositions. As a Criminal in numerous civil depositions. As a Criminal lawyer for 35 years both as a prosecutor and a Defence Attorney, obviously a prosecutor and a Defence Attorney, obviously if a prosecutor and a Defence Attorney, obviously if you do not have that promise obviously if you do not have that promise not be prosecuted he would have served the for the men at the Deposition Have served the for the men at the deposition because it exposes you to Criminal deposition because it exposes you to Criminal prosecution. So what happened here it was a big legal mistake happened here it was a big legal mistake and people should not be confused mistake and people should not be confused about how can they say he is not confused about how can they say he is not guilty, thats not what is being is not guilty, thats not what is being said is not guilty, thats not what is being said. What is being said is a straight being said. What is being said is a straight Law Point and an Evidence Point straight Law Point and an Evidence Point which is that he was told he would point which is that he was told he would he point which is that he was told he would be prosecuted so therefore you can go would be prosecuted so therefore you can go ahead and give this testimony in the can go ahead and give this testimony in the sea can go ahead and give this testimony in the Sea Lift depositions which he did in the Sea Lift depositions which he did some in the Sea Lift depositions which he did some of testimony did implicate him in the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania felt that that was overwhelmingly unfair as a legal proposition. The other part of it which proposition. The other part of it which you proposition. The other part of it which you alluded to quickly is that the judge which you alluded to quickly is that the judge let him what we lawyer is called the judge let him what we lawyer is called prior bad Apple Evidence which called prior bad Apple Evidence which is called prior bad Apple Evidence which is the Fate Defendant is on trial for which is the Fate Defendant is on trial for robbing Bank Number one, you let trial for robbing Bank Number one, you let in trial for robbing Bank Number one, you let in an trial for robbing Bank Number one, you let in an evidence that he may have you let in an evidence that he may have been you let in an evidence that he may have been involved in other bank rohheries have been involved in other bank robberies two, three, four and five. Those robberies two, three, four and five. Those of robberies two, three, four and five. Those of the robberies two, three, four and five. Those of the robberies dont really have value those of the robberies dont really have value on the one in court. So the court have value on the one in court. So the court was have value on the one in court. So the court was troubled by the judge letting in the court was troubled by the judge letting in so many prior bad acts witnesses letting in so many prior bad acts witnesses and i had said at the time that i witnesses and i had said at the time that i thought it might ultimately prove that i thought it might ultimately prove problematic down the road on appeat Criminal Defence Attorney Doug Burns on the release of Bill Cosby and a Relief Map of the Pennsylvania State supreme court we will have more on this throughout the programme and we will now speak to Clear Finkelstein from the university of pennsylvania.

Lets keep Run Up To Date with the story and speak to David Willis who is in washington. Mr cosby has been released from prison. Do we know where he is going . Irate been released from prison. Do we know where he is going . We dont come in chains. Know where he is going . We dont come in chains. But know where he is going . We dont come in chains. But we know where he is going . We dont come in chains. But we do know where he is going . We dont come in chains. But we do know. Come in chains. But we do know according to the state correctional department that he was released just before 2 30pm they are saying local time. That was just about half an hour or so ago, just over half an hour or so ago, just over half an hour ago. As to where he is going now, we dont know but we probably will fairly soon because there is a flanks of News Helicopters who are pursuing a car down the freeway at this moment presumably added for Mr Cosby� s home on the outskirts of philadelphia. What this case and this decision appears to have come down to is a feeling on the part of the pennsylvania supreme court that Bill Cosby should never have been prosecuted in the first place because he had reached an agreement with a previous Attorney General not to be prosecuted if he gave testimony in a civil lawsuit involving the same accuser, Andrea Constand, for which he was ultimately awarded incidentally more than 3 million. Welcome Mr Cosby did give that evidence, and he was still prosecuted. So the thrust of this case, his lawyers have made, is that he was unfairly tried in the first place and indeed the pennsylvania supreme court has gone along with that and has ruled that Bill Cosby� S Arrest was on affront to fundamental fairness and therefore determined that Bill Cosby was denied a fair trial, james. David willis in washington, thank you so much. Lets bring you some working news now about the clothing retailer gap. The information we haveis retailer gap. The information we have is that gap is to close all 81 of its stores in the uk and ireland by The End of september 2021. The stores will close in a phased manner and includes a 19 stores that are scheduled to close injuly as leases on those properties expire. He goes on those properties expire. He goes on to say the company has not disclosed how many employees the closures will affect it will surely begin a Consultation Process with the staff and the information goes on to say that gap says it will continue to offer a web based store in the uk when all the physical stores have closed examples of the company said it was in negotiations with another company to take over all of its stores in france. In italy, carrying on, gap says it is in discussions with a partner for the potential acquisition of stores there and a source close to the company according to the Business Unit says that he had seen Rapid Uptake of Internet Shopping for his close in the uk since a pandemic enforced lockdowns. We will bring you further news on that announcement from gap. People are still queuing up for their first and second doses of the covid vaccination, but already the official committee overseeing the Vaccination Programme has outlined its plans for a Booster Programme. If data later this year shows that protection from the first two jabs is wearing off those over 70, the clinically vulnerable and Health Workers will be first in line for the boosters. Heres our medical editor fergus walsh, and warning his report contains some flashing images. All done. It was in december that Margaret Keenan helped launch the nhs covid immunisation programme. Since then, more than 33 Million adults here have received both doses of vaccine. Thejcvi, the body which advises government on vaccines, says its still unclear whether adults will need a third Booster Dose from september, but planning needs to start now. If a Booster Campaign is launched this autumn, it will be divided into two stages. Top priority would be given to those aged 70 and over, people who are immunocompromised or extremely clinically vulnerable and front Line Health and social care workers. In stage two would come all those over 50, plus younger adults deemed to be in a Flu Or Covid at risk group. Vaccination remains the absolute key out of this nightmare that weve been in for well over a year now. We all want to see this nightmare come to an end, and that means get out there and get your vaccines. If you havent already, please do so. And it also means having this Booster Programme, because when we start then in september, thats our plan, it means we can keep it at bay. In most people, two doses of vaccine give very strong protection against severe covid, which lasts at least six months. By The End of august, scientists will have a clearer idea whether immunity is beginning to wane. A Booster Dose would likely be given at the same time as the Flu Vaccine, covid shot in one arm, flu in the other. We really welcome this and its really good to plan, but we have to remember this needs to be on a sustainable footing. I the nhs is under huge pressurel dealing with the backlog of care, rising demand for Emergency Services and mental Health Services, and preparing for the winter. Booster doses would most likely be of current vaccines rather than new versions tweaked to deal with variants. Its unlikely those getting their first doses now will need a third shot this autumn, as young adults tend to have a better immune response. And its still not been decided whether I2 I7 Year olds are to be offered jabs. Theyre at very low risk from covid, but it might help prevent outbreaks in schools. Fergus walsh, bbc news. In a moment, were going to speak to robert yates, director of the global Health Programme at the international affairs Think Tank chatham house, but first, lets speak to professor adam finn, who is a member of Thejoint Committee on vaccination and immunisation. Hes currently working from coimbra in portugal. Thank you so much forjoining us. This Booster Programme, might it prevent that possible Winter Search . Yes, thats the reason for the plan. We want to be insured against the possibility of further Winter Waves and in fact we are also very concerned about the possibility of a serious epidemic of influenza this winter as well. And so in order to insure against that as well as the possibility of needing to boost People Fork of a nazi commit when you be able to co ordinate those two programmes together. Boosting people for Covid I9. The main point is people who need both vaccines can get them at the same time on the same day in opposite arms so the burden on the Health Service of delivering a big Programme Like this could be mass producing. I think could be massproducing. I think some watching could be massproducing. I think some watching this could be massproducing. I think some watching this Programme L could be massproducing. I think. Some watching this Programme Say could be mass producing. Ithink some watching this Programme Say one in each arm on the same day, really . 0h, in each arm on the same day, really . Oh, yes, infact in each arm on the same day, really . Oh, yes, in fact parents of young children will be very familiar with this. More than two doses of vaccines to small children on the same day. We have been leading a study actually in bristol looking at exactly this, giving people a Flu Vaccine or a Covid I9 vaccine on the same visit and monitoring any Side Effects and actually the early results are very promising that this is an equitable thing to do. Ianthem results are very promising that this is an equitable thing to do. Is an equitable thing to do. When i no is an equitable thing to do. When i to into is an equitable thing to do.

Donald rumsfeld has died at the age of 88. You not recall that he was twice the secretary of defence of the us, once in the Mid 19 70s Under Gerald Ford and most recently from 2001 2006 under george w. Bush. During that time he was defensive or terry during 9 11 orchestrated the us intervention in afghanistan a Month Orso Intervention in afghanistan a month or so later and an intervention which has onlyjust going to come to an end in the next few months and Donald Rumsfeld was also the secretary in charge of the invasion of iraq in 2003. He was removed by President Bush in 2006 when the Iraq War got bogged down and he was one of the faces of the Bush Administration for many years. More on this later in our bulletin. First, the weather. Hello again. Most parts of the uk enjoyed some brighter spells as we went into the afternoon with some sunshine around. Eastern england, though, kept the cloud all day. Arguably the best of the sunshine was across parts of south West England and wales, although there were a few isolated showers here in the afternoon. Overnight tonight, its going to become dry. There will be quite a bit of cloud across eastern areas of england, some patchy cloud for Northern Ireland, wales and the south west. For most of us, its mild with temperatures around 10 13 degrees, but a bit cooler than that for parts of North East England and the North And East of scotland as well. Now, tomorrow, if anything i think theres going to be a little more in the way of sunshine to go around, so most of us looking at fine weather. The best of the sunshine through the afternoon. Eastern england again seeing some thicker cloud, maybe an odd patch of rain coming in off the North Sea and a few isolated showers across wales and south West England through the afternoon. But for most, its dry with some sunshine and temperatures widely reaching the low 20s. You have a few more isolated showers around on friday, but the weekends quite unsettled with showers or even longer spells of rain. Hello this is bbc news. The headlines.

As we brought you just now, the news from the united states, the former us Defence Secretary has died at the age of 88. He was twice Defence Secretary of the united states, pressed under president Gerald Ford, and secondly most recently between 20012006 and secondly most recently between 2001 2006 under president george w. Bush. Our correspondent looks back on his life. Donald rumsfeld served four president s over five decades. Charismatic, outspoken, he was a key architect of Americas Response to 9 11 Committee Invasion of afghanistan and the war against iraq. A Navy Pilot in the 1950s, rumsfeld later became an illinois congressman, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger admired his ruthlessness and gave him a job and cabinets. Ads, and gave him a job and cabinets. Strong Defence Posture gives weight to our values and our view is in international negotiations. In 1975, Gerald Ford international negotiations.

Ronald reagan sent him to the middle east, where he met saddam hussein, the leader he would one Day Help to overthrow. The mac im submitting the name of Donald Rumsfeld to be secretary of defence. 20 years later, George W Bush reappointed him Defence Secretary. Within months, america came under attack. Rumsfeld was in his Pentagon Office on September The 11th 2001 when an airliner hit the building. He helped move the injured and then planned a way to strike back. Rumsfeld believed the Iraq War would be over in months and the invasion would be vindicated. The fierce insurrection that followed claimed thousands of lives when no Weapons Of Mass Destruction were found, rumsfeld struggled to explain why.

We are not issuing a blank cheque. This solution is of a temporary nature in which strong conditions are attached. This obviously is only temporary provision, we do need a permanent solution to this. Northern ireland is an integral part of the uk and should be able to get the same products as every other part of the uk. Supermarkets in Northern Ireland now have more time to source products like Chicken Nuggets from the island of ireland, rather than importing chilled meats in from gb, so these certainly arent going to be disappearing from the shelves, but the government still has a lot on its plate, because the Eus Decision still does little to solve the deep political divisions here over that new Irish Sea border. Thousands of new checks on goods are carried out at ports in Northern Ireland because of the compromise agreed to avoid a hard border with the irish republic, but this continues to infuriate many unionist politicians, who have been arguing at the high court that having Trade Barriers within the uk goes against the very legislation which created the united kingdom. Today, a judge found that the protocol does conflict with the act of union, but is lawful. I think it will make| people in Northern Ireland, pro union people in Northern Ireland, feel very, very angry at what has happened and the duplicitous nature, really, of the government, having pushed thisj through without the consent of people in Northern Ireland. Todays agreement on chilled meats provide some breathing space, but isnt a permanent fix, and the Uk Government is clear that the so called Sausage Wars are just one of a lot of problems with the brexit arrangements in Northern Ireland that still need to be resolved.

It felt like we were living in a Pressure Cooker and we were just surviving. Lockdown was too much for this teenager to bear. It tipped his family, already on the edge, into chaos. Just trying to keep max safe and keep ourselves safe. This is max when he struggles to cope. Becoming violent with his mum. When he can no longer deal with what life throws at him, he reacts by being threatening towards those that support him. Max. Shut up. You are living every minute of every hour of every day thinking how, in the next five, ten minutes, are we going to prevent him from injuring himself, injuring us or seriously damaging our Property Or Somebody elses property . He couldnt understand why covid meant his crucial hours of support, his routine, everything that made his world manageable, just disappeared overnight. All the things that we used to use to keep him active and busy and give him a routine, itjust all stopped. And that might seem like not a lot to deal with for some people. However, for max and for us, that was really calamitous. A lack of routine meant Maxs Behaviour became so bad, the family were having to call the police out several times a week. I was saying, ourfamily are in crisis, i cannot keep my child safe, i cannot keep myself and my husband safe, please help us. And nobody seemed to know what to do or how to help. It seemed that families like ours werent important. And things came to a head in may last year, when max hit his dad and knocked him unconscious. I ended up having to be admitted to hospital with a Head Injury and that, certainly for those around us, was so scary. But, here, max is a different person. Its pumpkin. At this specialist centre, he learns how to control his emotions. So keep your hand on him. Its these kinds of vital services he couldnt access during the pandemic. Good boy. How does it make you feel when you are around pumpkin . Nice and calm. Yeah. Would you spend all your time here if you could . A place like this is helping rebuild maxs confidence, but it will be a long and difficult process. It takes a lot of strength to keep going and remember what this is about, that this is about max. Caroline. Stop it, you. I know, sorry. No, are you all right . Yeah. Itjust shouldnt be so hard, it shouldnt be so hard for him to have what other people can very easily have and i think thats the difficulty for me, as his mum. You feel like you are fighting all the time. Constantly fighting, and it wears you down, yeah. But i wont stop. Im so proud of you, what brilliant, brilliant grooming of that horse. Was that toffee . And his mum will have to carry on fighting, because, just like the thousands of others who have contacted us, the pandemic has made theirfuture so much harder. Nikki fox, bbc news.

Well, its a photo of the Full Moon rising just before the sun sets. I took it last year at some point, yeah, it was good fun. It was good fun trying to get out there and trying to plan it. Most of the difficulty i referred to is in the Camera settings isnt in the Camera settings isnt in the Camera settings isnt in the Camera settings or anything, its about moving about where the moon might be in the sky and finding the position to take a picture that is far enough away from the foreground so that you can move in zoom in a lot to make the Moon Look really big.

The final rainfall Stats Forjune will be confirmed over the next day or two as more data comes in, but it has been a month of big contrasts across the south of england. Parts of sussex, hampshire, kent have seen twice the amount of rain that wed normally expect, but that is in sharp contrast to what has been a dry june for much of the uk. Particularly so, though, for parts of scotland, northern england and wales. There are a number of places that have seen around about a quarter of the amount of rain wed normally expect to see. Wednesday had big contrasts in weather as well. Cloud across Eastern England bringing some patches of light rain and drizzle. Further west, wales and southWest England having some lovely sunshine, but in the afternoon, we did see a few isolated showers build in across these areas, and weve also seen these patches of rain running into parts of East Anglia and parts of kent as well. Now, the rain is going to be clearing overnight tonight, so most areas will have a dry night with clear spells initially. Always rather cloudy across eastern coastal counties of england. Some cloud reforming across parts of wales as well, but its a relatively mild night. Temperatures quite widely around 10 13 degrees, bit cooler than that for parts of northern england and scotland. Now, for thursday, generally, i think its going to be slightly greater chances of seeing breaks in the cloud and more in the way of sunshine to be spread around. The exception to that story, again, around some of these eastern areas of england where the cloud will be thick enough for an odd patch of rain. And again, well probably start to see a few afternoon showers build across wales and parts of southern england as well, but for most of the uk, were looking at drier weather with sunshine. 21 degrees in glasgow and 20 in belfast. Should feel warm enough with light winds and that find sunshine around as well. Now, friday, broadly speaking, is a day of sunshine and showers. The sunniest weather coming through during the afternoon, but thats also where the Temperatures Rise and we start to see those showers and thunderstorms develop. Most of them will be across england and wales, but there will be big gaps between the showers. There will be a lot of you that escape at the dry day, top ten which is around 23 celsius. This weekend, unsettled, this area of low pressure pushing weather fronts across england and wales with further friends following the second half of the weekend as well. Its not going to be raining all weekend, but it is a weekend that will see rain at times, some bright spells between, temperature is just coming times, some bright spells between, Temperature Isjust coming down times, some bright spells between, temperature is just coming down a degree or two. Thats the latest weather. This is bbc news. Im christian fraser. Our top stories the us comedian Bill Cosby, jailed in 2018 for Sexual Assault, has been freed by the pennsylvania supreme court.
