A moment of huge significance for those who live in england. Boris johnson has announced the restrictions on Covid I9 will be lifted on the 19th Ofjuly. For people in england, the Prime Minister wants to move with him restrictions in favour of people making their own Decisions. With a look at what is going to change. Social distancing by staying one metre apart will go. People will no longer be legally required to wear facemasks but it may still be advised in some situations. Limits on socialising, those will be lifted, bringing an end to the rule of six and the rule of two households maximum indoors. And he advised work from home would end. The government in scotland, wales or Northern Ireland set their own timetables for Lifting Restrictions later this month in the final Decision on whether their lifting of restrictions will go ahead will be made on the 12th ofjuly. The message is, the government is expecting that to happen. He is the Prime Minister. figs expecting that to happen. He is the Prime Minister. Prime minister. As we come to the fourth step. Prime minister. As we come to the fourth step. We Prime Minister. As we come to the fourth step, we have Prime Minister. As we come to the fourth step, we have to Prime Minister.

The risks of the disease which the vaccine is reduced but very far from eliminated. Which the vaccine is reduced but very farfrom eliminated. And which the vaccine is reduced but very far from eliminated. And the risk of continuing with legal enforced restrictions that inevitably take their toll on peoples lives, livelihoods and on peoples lives, livelihoods and on Peoples Health and Mental Health. We must be honest with ourselves that if we cannot reopen our society and the next few weeks, when we will be helped by the arrival of summer and by the School Holidays, then we must ask ourselves, when will we be able to return to normal . Itruiiiiii ask ourselves, when will we be able to return to normal . Ask ourselves, when will we be able to return to normal . Will have more details about to return to normal .

That is a balanced Approach Self isolate. That is a balanced approach would be but throwing off our protection is reckless. The Infection Rate our protection is reckless. The Infection Rate is our protection is reckless. Tte Infection Rate is going up our protection is reckless. Tt2 Infection Rate is going up and there� s been an average of 25,000 new cases every day for the past week but the government to sing this is manageable because the Vaccine Roll Out has weakened the link between cases and hospitalisations. And that is true, the population is received one vaccine a 50 have had both jabs and i want to show you these graphs to put all of that in context. This is the Case Numbers compared to the second wave which was september through to february and what is happening now. This shows the hospitalisations. The difference between the second wave in the third wave, the third being far lower and this is Covid 19 related deaths and if you can see the debts are far fewer now than they were during that second wave. The Chief Medical Officer was with borisjohnson during the Press Conference and pointed out that it is we can between Case Numbers and hospitalisations but also emphasised it is not broken. Let� s pretend the Bbc Correspondent and david come out me understand the political dynamics behind this Decision because this is notjust the scientific calculation, it is also a political calculation. T5 scientific calculation, it is also a political calculation. Is ultimately a olitical political calculation. Is ultimately a political Decision political calculation. Is ultimately a political Decision that political calculation. Is ultimately a political Decision that its political calculation. Is ultimately a political Decision that its been| a political Decision that it� s been made here. Those who are on the podium, the stadium with Boris Johnsonjust a couple podium, the stadium with Boris Johnson just a couple of hours ago, as they announce this, they said that very clearly, this is the Decision that the Prime Minister made because you do exactly have the position where you have rates in Case Numbers at the minute, around 25 to 27,000 cases a day is the latest figure and the doubling time the scientists said are nine days which that Case Number is going to hit 55, nearly 60,000 probably in the next ten days if it continues like that. 60,000 is the same of the wave that the case just been through in the second way. And so, why are they going ahead with this . Because first of all, The View that vaccines have had a significant impact on limiting the spread of the Infection Rates in the hospitalisations and serious diseases, also i think there� s a sense the borisjohnson wants to lift restrictions if not now, when. He is inclined to do so, he sees the pressure on businesses and on companies and people across the country, he is already delayed once to get to this point and that is where the political calculation is where the political calculation is coming and the riskier is what happens in the cases keep rising, keeps feeding into and how far does it feed into more hospitalisations, more deaths, but will we see over the summer and more deaths, but will we see over the summerand i more deaths, but will we see over the summer and i think there� d been more equivocal in backing the Prime Minister up because the Chief Scientific Officer when asked about this, the cases are rising steeply and if we need to behave accordingly, and reduce transmissions and spread, the Prime Minister has chosen to go ahead with relaxing all restrictions. Let� s relaxing all restrictions. Lets have a look relaxing all restrictions. Lets have a look at relaxing all restrictions. Lets have a look at the relaxing all restrictions. Lets have a look at the key relaxing all restrictions. Lets have a look at the key issues| relaxing all restrictions. Lets have a look at the key issues here, the lifting of the laws to enforce mask wearing. So far, that Decision is not proving particularly popular and 71 of people in the uk Think Facemasks should continue to be mandatory and Public Transport for some time with the other restrictions are lifted, 21 said they should not was being left up to individuals, here� s the Chief Medical Officer with his advice on we should wear masks. T Medical Officer with his advice on we should wear masks. Medical officer with his advice on we should wear masks. I would wear a Mask Under we should wear masks. I would wear a Mask Under three we should wear masks. I would wear a Mask Under three situations. We should wear masks. I would wear a Mask Under three situations. And we should wear masks. I would wear a Mask Under three situations. And i Mask Under three situations. And i would do so particularly at this point with the epidemic is, the first is in any situation that is indoors and crowded or indoors with close proximity to other people. And thatis close proximity to other people. And that is because masks help other people. This will we do to help other people is by far the principal aim. The second situation is if i was required to, by any competent authority i would have no hesitancy in doing that and i would consider that a reasonable thing if they had good reasons to do that. The third reason is if someone else is uncomfortable if i did not wear a mask, as a point of common courtesy, forced to wear a mask and the all of the circumstances i would do just that. The circumstances i would do ust that. ,. , that. Three quite conference of circumstances that. Three quite conference of circumstances and that. Three quite conference of circumstances and dont that. Three quite conference of circumstances and dont seem | that. Three quite conference of i circumstances and dont seem to that.

This is where i of, you can do what you like. This is where i think of, you can do what you like. This is where i think you of, you can do what you like. Tt 3 is where i think you have the instincts of government, the instance of borisjohnson to relax and remove the remaining restrictions but appeal to people who say this is your own responsibility to take this Decision and i think this is also going to prove to be something that is going to be argued over because we have already seen today the groups coming out that are very uneasy about this is a particularly groups about the unions representing bus drivers, Train Drivers and underground Transit Drivers and Draught Shop workers unions as well. The mayors of London And Other Cities were also saying that their concern is if everybody takes a mask off. Those were vulnerable were forced to be working in busy credit places, they will themselves be put at risk if they try to use Public Transport, they try to use Public Transport, they will find their lives restricted. Therefore, it is a difficult balance again and will want to see borisjohnson wanting to lift all the restrictions to make a very clean and simple move that is down to individual peoples choices and Mr Borisjohnson said he would continue to wear a mask for us in a crowded place and to reduce tensions and future what we see happening underground in buses and shops and the like. We underground in buses and shops and the like. ~. ,. , underground in buses and shops and the like. ,. , � , the like. We appreciate this. Lets talk about the the like. We appreciate this.

But there have not been a Decision she had taken on facemasks in scotland. Meanwhile the who Isjust Facemasks in scotland. Meanwhile the who is just announced that scotland currently has the highest rate of Covid 19 infections in europe. The Nash Daddy make national clinical director is here with us. Thank you forjoining us. How do we explain these statistics and scotland . Tt is these statistics and scotland . It is a whirrin these statistics and scotland . Te 3 a whirring period and we are very cautious. We� ve had three days of stabilising and falling rates up and spend the weekend, we need to be careful of the rest of the week and both of our spikes have been on tuesdays. So be very interested in tomorrow� s numbers and the reasons quickly. Football is part of it. People watching the zeros, travelling of the euros, for the principal challenge and we also have not been at the top of this uk table, it� s another place want to be and therefore, we have lower levels of people who had the disease and that gives you lower immunityjust your population and so vaccination is having to do some heavy lifting in the third principal reason is the Delta Variant. The uk in general is the second country in the road to get it and it� s nasty. It transmits really quickly you can see england catching up with us in to see europe catching up with us in to see europe catching up with us in to see europe catching up with us and hopefully, we are over that hump and it� s a long Journey Starpointe bearing that in mind, do you think the scottish government should do a borisjohnson announced today and remove most restrictions in a couple of days. Its restrictions in a couple of days. It� s a tough ask what fortunately i died to make that Decision. Tt its a tough ask what fortunately i died to make that Decision. Died to make that Decision.

Every country has a version of that. Larger gatherings, removal of outdoor physical distancing but keeping some physical distancing but keeping some physical distancing but keeping some physical distancing indoors and still leveling off the sides of events. The 9th Of August will be a much more dramatic change, the removal of physical distancing indoors, etc. And that gives us time to follow the data to make sure we� re going to the right direction because they� re right.

In the round, the advice is to be about economic Society And Covid 19.

L white met a lot of things to update you on in afghanistan. There� s been an occupying force. You� re also going to share from the former afghan president who spoke to the bbc but let us turn to what the taliban spokesperson has been saying as they have reacted to us plans to give write A Thousand troops in afghanistan in order to protect the us embassy in the airport In Kabul. While we assured them that there will be no to the consulate, while we are telling them that let us close this chapter of destruction and open a new chapter. In listing the reconstruction and we will welcome your Assistance And Cooperation and why they are insisting to leave their forces in the embassy, there is no starpointe most troops have already pulled out well ahead of schedule.

An cycle on both sides, the taliban and the districts are not going the taliban and the districts are not going to help them in a call on afghanistan government, delaying going afghanistan government, delaying going into Peace Talks would not help the going into Peace Talks would not help the country either. So both sides help the country either. So both sides must sit down and talk as soon as possible sides must sit down and talk as soon as possible for peace.

It is important to note that the situation is very fluid so any claim of territory being controlled is hard to verify but the say that they have captured much of the districts in the last two months of fighting. Afghanistan� s Interior Ministry saying that the Temp Ban shows the districts show that not all of them have completely fallen. But the taliban is gaining territory and causing concern among afghanistan troops. This is more than A Thousand government soldiers have fled across the borders after clashes with the taliban. That� s bring them live with us In Kabul and as we saw the need troops leave, this feels like a precarious moment for afghanistan. It certainly is. As forces are leaving, violence is rising and it� s a very sharp escalation and the afghanistan government and its forces are battling the Tele Band and as many as 20 of the countries and as many as 20 of the countries and 34 provinces, we are hearing every day claims from the Tele Band that it� s taking over new districts and over the last couple of days, particularly heard from the province that they have taken over districts and from there we� ve also heard of defections of afghanistan soldiers crossing over the border to try and escape. And while it certainly seems as if the taliban are rapidly advancing, there is a more complex truth behind the numbers itself and there are some districts that are taking over which are not very populated, not a very important. But it still allows them to say they have taken over one more district and they� re pushing very hard on her to focus on other areas that are more strategically important but it is also true that we are curing of places that are significant, both symbolic, strategic that the Tele Band are overrunning and taking Control Of.

And as we heard earlier, are you going to allow people to choose their own leader and in the afghanistan government, bringing the points that brought their agendas of the stalk and negotiating, very clear answer there but they will refer to this in the conversation and islamic emirate, the sign that they are unlikely to agree to these demands for elections to take place. The us Decision to withdraw troops right now has received mixed political reactions back home and several prominent republicans are in support of it and Congressman Adam Smith and the services say this Week And Numberfor the perfect security conditions before withdrawing. There are fears that this will embolden the Tele Band and the representative of texas said that the people of afghanistan, we cannot turn our backs and leave them to die. And the us had set September The 11th is the deadline over the recent days and suggests that he could be done well before that. In the past weekend, we saw america celebrate another meaningful Anniversary And President biden was asked about the withdrawal but on this occasion, he did not want to answer. I� m not going to answer any more questions of afghanistan. It� s the 4th ofjuly. T� m more questions of afghanistan. Its the Ltth Ofjuly the 4th ofjuly. Im concerned that Ou Cu s the 4th ofjuly.

Here is more for my colleague and this is her latest report. 20 years ago foreign forces alive to year with the fierce push. Arrived here.

Agreeing to fully withdrawal foreign forces. The foreign War In Afghanistan has all but ended. Its legacy will be determined by what happens here next. One person with a clear view of the us involvement is the former afghanistan president who says they� re paying a heavy price for the failure of the us and nato. The Military Compartment was intended to fight extremism and terrorism, that, rather than doing thejob terrorism, that, rather than doing the job correctly and where it was needed began to hurt and harass and bomb and imprisoned afghans.

There� s more background on this situation in afghanistan if you should wanted to read the bbc news website. We� ll be back with a couple of minutes of borisjohnson is big announcement about Covid 19 restrictions in england. Good evening. It was a weekend where we did not know whether or not we were coming or going with the weather. But today has been slightly quieter and yes, we might� ve started off with a lot of cloud in northern england but looked at the afternoon we had. The cloud did Linger In Scotland in some new showers throughout the Day Today but not as heavy or anywhere near as widespread as yesterday afternoon. Taking a look at the showers where they linger across the far northwest, look at what is happening elsewhere with other low and this is going to bring some and seasonably wet and windy weather and to the southwest over the next few hours and it will drive its way steadily northwards and bring some Heavy Rain into wells and bring some Heavy Rain into wells and gradually pushing into the midlands as well. The show with ease in scotland and clear skies and see them dipping into single figures for them dipping into single figures for the wind disgusting into Gale Forces across the channel because it� s going to be a blustery start to tuesday morning. The rain will linger across the north of england and into the scottish borders. Stretching gradually and to Northeast Scotland as a go to the afternoon where it will drive further showers into the afternoon and still the risk of Gale Force gusts of winds on that exposed coast. Blustery afternoon but the ones not quite as strong to scotland but that rambled into linger through Eastern Scotland to the afternoon in terms of the feel of things, temperatures low subdued and perhaps peeking around 18 or 19 degrees. That means that for wimbledon, there� s still the risk of some showers, a bit tricky the forecast for the championship so far, but look at the stand friday, does look as though the story will quiet down nicely with lots of sunshine coming through. The reason my wednesday to get to some showers this bestowal of the low pressure with us that is moving at scandinavia with plenty of isobars and blustery afternoons for many and one or two sharp showers driving in from the west. The showers on wednesday should be few and far between in more places will see drier weather and more cases will see some sunshine. Temperature should be back up into the low 20s, 2122 degrees and 72 fahrenheit. In an average of High Pressure will build in from the southwest and so from the first day onwards, we should see some dry weather in the forecast and hopefully will be more sunshine.

We� re going to look at how the race in the uk between vaccinations and the virus is being watched by the world in europe, the us, asia, and israel. England began easing restrictions in march. Byjune, some aspects of normal life had returned. People started dining indoors and outdoors at restaurants these ones in soho were packed. International sports returned this was wimbledon on saturday. And this is wembley. It� s hosting 60,000 fans when england takes on denmark in the euro 2020 Semi Final on wedneday. But there are concerns. This is the who. Learn to live with the virus. That is the lesson we get to learn and we really need to learn to do it this summer. We have to try to find a way to leave some kind of Post Covid 19 normal but to do that we will really have to be our own risk managers. Not enough of us are vaccinated and even if we are vaccinated there is still a risk of reinfection or transmission. So, we have to take the precautions and the distancing and avoiding crowding and avoiding the mass gatherings if possible in order to protect ourselves. There are a few statistics to consider. 64 of adults are fully vaccinated. However we know while that massively reduces the risk of death it doesn� t reduce it to zero. And there is still trasmission. We know that last week, covid cases rose by 72 . This is a map of europe according to the who 7 out of the 10 regions with the highest infections rates are all in the uk they� re the regions highlighted in red. So that puts the uk is in a unique position. One epidemiologist has told the guardian we have the biggest Delta Outbreak in a well vaccinated country. We are a Petri Dish for the world. Here� s the who again. We are watching it very closely as we are watching everything around the world and i can tell you around the world the recent declining trend in cases has stalled and we are seeing very large outbreaks and the worst case, the overwhelming of hospitals in many other countries. The good news is in the uk there has been a big reduction in hospitalisation and what you are not seeing their deaths. That is really good news. But you step want to keep safe as possible and bring the transmission down because you do not want the opportunity for variants to notjust circulate but change. The Delta Variant is to blame. It� s thought to be at least 60 more transmissible than the alpha variant. And scientists tell us it� s twice as likely to hospitalise people. Here� s the Opposition Labour Party arguying against the government� s strategy. Norway had just decided they� re going to delay even to easing restrictions because they felt a variant is arriving. We have got the Delta Variant and we have now got infections that are at higher level in the uk than they have been since january of this year and thankfully the Vaccination Programme is breaking that link between infection and hospitalisations. But, we know that we have only gotjust over 50 of people with both vaccinations. We know with the Delta Variant having only one vaccination gives you 30 protection. So there are issues here. The Delta Variant is in 98 countries many of them are lagging behind the uk in their vaccine programme. Lets look at europe. According to europe� s Disease Control Agency , the Delta Variant could account for 90 of cases by the end of august. While 24 of people are fully vaccinated in europe and central asia. And this is the concern in france. The Delta Variant, which is particularly contagious, particularly of concern, is gaining ground very quickly and is nearly doubling every week, and we� re now at more than 30 percent of infections linked to the Delta Variant. We� ve seen examples of it happening around us in other countries , showing that this situation could be a premise of a restart of the epidemic very quickly. Next, the us. Yesterday it missed its target of vaccinating 70 of adults with at least 1 jab byjuly 4th. Here� sjoe biden. Covid 19 has not been vanquished. We all know powerful variants have emerged like the Delta Variant but the best defence against the variance is to get vaccinated. This the Delta Variant currently accounts for a fifth of new cases in the us. Scientists expect that will rise to over 26 in the next two weeks. And here� s One Epidemiologist in massachussetts pointing out another issue. A couple of problems. We can roughly divide problems into two different categories. There is access which is people who would like to get the vaccine but cannot because they cannot get the time off work or they are concerned about taking the time off work because of missing a Pay Cheque and there are those people who are vaccine hesitant. As a considerable constituency of people in the united states who are just suspicious of the vaccines and we really need to listen to them and help them become confident to take a shot. Countries in asia are also looking at how the uk will cope with delta. Many went for a zero Covid Strategy , and sealed off their borders. Delta cases crept in anyway. One of them is thailand. According to the Bangkok Post 70 of cases In The City last week were the Delta Variant. And it� s Vaccination Programme is slow. Just over 4 of adults are fully vaccinated. And this professor at the chinese university of Hong Kong points out what you� re seeing is a gradual realisation that it isn� t going to be a world without covid. That applies to israel. It was one of the most successful countries in tackling the pandemic. It implemented fastest Vaccination Programme, and aggressively pushing down cases. So in february this happened. Social curbs were lifted and vaccinated israelis were able to return to concerts. More restrictions were lifted injune mandatory masks in indoor spaces were scrapped. That same month, the Delta Variant arrived. Within ten days masks were reinstated. Israel� s Coronavirus Response Chief on the coecerns we are seeing a doubling every few days, Mr Ash told public radio. Another thing that� s worrying is that the infections are spreading. Even now, israel is saying that they felt that means they have not managed to keep Control Of it. Now they are starting to vaccinate their children and that is an option for us. It helps more people who are immune and the better and we need to invest in ventilation and we know it� s airborne and that� s how it spreads and ventilation is a public good. That is no restriction. It� s making places safer. Good. That is no restriction. Its making places safer. Good. That is no restriction. Its making places safer. What do you think of those making places safer.

But politically i can file the government is taking Decision today. There is no such thing as complete safety and complete Com Plete Safety a Nd Com Plete certainty. Complete safety and complete certainty. About 10,000 people per day, sorry per Week Die of all causes in england and wales at the moment. About 1 of them are dying from Covid 19. The think it� s necessary to put in perspective what these restrictions are doing and the society that has other health issues other than just Covid 19 . Can you help us put this in context.

I don� t necessarily that it is the policy that we are all getting infected as rapidly as possible although what i would say is one of the things they could have done really easily would have been to keep the Mask Restrictions and i� m not sure i understand why it� s not being obliged that we wear them in places like crowded spaces and indoor as it does not make sense to me. I don� t think making a trip is a good policy or necessarily government policy. What i think is they are in a predictable corner and a feel the need to move forward. Always appreciate your help, thank you forjoining us on outside stories. Gunmen in nigeria have targeted a hospital and a school in less than 24 hours. Babies, nurses and children have all been abducted. The attacks happened In The City of zaria in North West Kaduna state. These are images from the hospital. At least 8 people were abducted from here, including three children under the age of three. Let� s hear from this eyewitness. The gunshots entered some of the corridors and hit some people. Everywhere we heard the gunshots and he entered some of the houses and pick some people like my sister here, they picked her and children and the daughter. Five of them. And this is the school also in Kaduna State that was raided by gunmen. 150 children are now missing from bethel baptist high school. It� s the 10th School Kidnapping in northwest nigeria since december. Let� s hear from one of the parents. My my daughter told me that i don� t like this school. I said we are studying exam on monday and i am friday we will be vacated. Just this morning at about six i received a Phone Call that they had entered the school, kidnappers, and including my daughter. The bbc� s mayenijones is in nairobi.

Mass abductions have been happening right across Northwestern Nigeria but particularly in the sky during a state and our men have often followed a similar pattern. They stormed the school in the night and they come on motorbikes and they take hundreds of students with that into a nearby forest where they keep them until a ransom is paid.

It� s still unclear if any children under the age of three click taken by they say that they are on the trace of the criminals in the Security Forces are doing everything they can to release some of those abducted that i stayed in captivity and they say they don� t want to give any information that might jeopardise that. I imagine the political pressure on the government must be extraordinary to try and stop the frequency of these kinds of attacks . Every time it happens critics of the government points that this is evidence that they have not got a handle on the Security Situation in nigeria. We report on the kidnappings that happen with children but they are kidnappings that have been right across the country every day. People heading to a waiting in a neighbouring town people travelling to visit relatives on the road, people in their homes often targeted for ransom and this is happening particularly now because the nigerian economy is suffering so much where it has had two recessions and recently unemployment is through the roof particularly among young people and it seems that malcolm the kidnapping has become an industry where criminals see it as a way of Making A Living and making good money. Abs a living and making good money.

But locking down the economy last year at the start of the pandemic really have a detrimental effect on the equality here. The price of Food And Food innovation is that it� s been 15 years and many nigerians are struggling to make ends meet. Making it incredibly tough to do everything from moving around as i said earlier today trying to grow vegetables. A the countryside is not too insecure for many farmers to work here.

In a few minutes he will be going to Southwest London to wimbledon. It is Manic Monday which means all the competitors in the last 16 of the single men and women are playing, or at least a way that the letter allows it. We will update you. Let� s take a look at some of the other nations in the uk. Northern ireland here� s the Health Minister with the approach from wales the number of Covid 19 patients and welsh hospitals reached its lowest increase since the pandemic began. The announcement of a way the restrictions is expected in the coming weeks. Here is the Health Minister today. We coming weeks. Here is the Health Minister today. Minister today. We are very that the are minister today. We are very that they are still minister today. We are very that they are still clear minister today. We are very that they are still clear in minister today. We are very that they are still clear in a minister today. We are very that they are still clear in a very they are still clear in a very difficult situation. Case numbers are increasing exponentially still in wales. And especially because people who have not been vaccinated. There is a real vulnerability for those people. Now, having said that, because he is seeing a weakening of that link, then we also have to understand that there are other harms that the need to consider and in particular the Mental Health situation, the economic situation, the social situations that people find themselves in, all of these things now need to put into the mix and we will be considering those in the next few days and we have a regular at 21 the review 16 and we will be Making Recommendations therefore next week on that cycle and we will of course as always in wales the following data rather than following the politics. That is what we have been doing all the way through this and we will continue to do that. Our primary concern is to try and keep people safe but, of course, we need to understand that we are going to learn to live with this illness and are going to have to adapt as a society to a situation where we will be exposed to an extent new variants. This is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. Our Lead Story is . Uk kaepernick the borisjohnson confirmed that the remaining current affairs restrictions will remain despite the current stage pieces. Next let� s go to georgia. A march to mark the end of Pride Week was supposed to take Place Today in the Capital Tiblisi but it� s been called off. Here� s why. Ultra nationalist far right groups took to the streets hours before it was sheduled. They tore down the tents erected for the Pride March and threw bottles and sticks at the assembled journalists several of them were injured, including a cameraman for the georgian public broadcaster. This also happened. Members of the far right group scaled the building of the Pride Office in downtown tbilisi. They broke up the Lgbt Flag and replaced it with the georgian national flag. They then set fire to the Lgbt Flag on the ground. The Interior Ministry responded with this statement. It calls on tbilisi Pride Activists not to hold their march in a public space. Georgian prime Minister Irak Li Gari Bashvili . Said . Holding the Pride March would be unreasonable as it Gari Bashvili . Said . Holding the pride confrontation, and the majority of georgians find it unacceptable. The pm also claimed the event is organized by Radical Opposition Headed by ex president saakashvili. Bbc� s Nina Akh me teli, tblisi. I was not surprised about what happened because as soon as they organisers announced their plans there was already some explanation and some radical conservative groups already announced and said that they would try to distract this march and parts of Pride Week so it was quite expectable and they will be some biting attacks on similar activities and so on and there will be some opposition to the march of dignity. If not a surprise there was in opposition to the Pride March because it in a surprise that the government appears to have told the organisers of that Pride March that they should not have done it . This sto is they should not have done it . This story is also they should not have done it . This story is also not they should not have done it . Tt 3 story is also not new for us because for years Lgbt Activists try to hold a rally and to hold protests and years they have problems with that and they had to cancel the way they have to gather somewhere because there were threats from radical groups though. It� s Manic Monday at wimbledon. All the competitors in the last 16 in both the mens and womens� singles have games. Chetan pathak is at wimbledon. Great to see you. Lots to talk about.

Those of you watching you can get more through the Bbc Sport App as well. We will see you tomorrow at the usual time. Goodbye. That evening. It was a weekend when he did not know whether we were coming or going with the weather. Today has been quieter. They might have started off with a cloudiness with northern england but look at a beautiful afternoon in north tyneside. The crowd there were recent showers the Day Today. Not as heavy or near as widespread as yesterday afternoon. If we take a look at where they showers are attempting to finger across the far northwest. But what is happening in our direction as well. Another low pressure moving in. This will bring unseasonably wet and windy weather into the southwest of the next few hours. It will drive its way north bringing Heavy Rain into wales and gradually pushing into the nicknames as well. The Clearing Skies we will see temperatures dipping into the single figures. The wind low cost to care for us across the coast so it will be a blast to be starts to tuesday morning. There rain will linger across the north of england and into the scottish borders. It was stretched into my thesis, and as he go through the afternoon and let the strong winds it will drive showers into the afternoon. Every step of the Air Force Loss of wings on the coast. A blustery afternoon for england and wales. The wind is not as strong but the rain will linger into East And Scotland through the afternoon. In terms of the appeal of things that temperatures will be subdued and perhaps peeking around 18 or 19 degrees. That means that for wimbledon there is still the risk of showers and it will be tricky in the forecast for the championship. Look at thursday and friday it looks like it will quiet down nice with lots of sunshine coming through. The reason why wednesday we could see showers is we have the low pressure with us moving into scandinavia with plenty of isobars on the charts. A blustery afternoon and one or driving in from the left. They showers on wednesday should be few and far between the crazy seeing dry weather and will see sunshine. Temperatures should be back up into the low 20s, 2122 degrees and 72 fahrenheit. The High Pressure will build up from the southwest. They stay on we will see dry weather in the forecast and hopefully more sunshine. This is bbc news. The headlines. Borisjohnson has said he expects most covid restrictions in england to go in two weeks� time. Face masks would no longer be legally required and only advised in some settings. And by the School Holidays, then we must ask ourselves, when will we be able to return to normal . Meanwhile, Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer says he has concerns about covid restrictions going all at once. Lifting all protections in one go when the Infection Rate is going up
