Are you ready black people . Are you ready . And at 5. 45, Mark Kermode has the Film Review including a look at new Release Summer of soul. This afternoon its been announced the uk has recorded more than 50,000 Daily Coronavirus cases for the first time since mid january. In the past 2a hours there were a further 51,870 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the uk and another 49 people had died within 28 days of Testing Positive for covid bringing the Uk Total to 128,642. Earlier this afternoon official figures suggested that one in 100 people in the uk had Coronavirus Last week. It comes just days before The End of restrictions in England And Scotland on monday. Our Health Correspondent James Gallagher is here. That Top Line takes us back to january. Explain the context of all of this. ,. , of this. Let us rewind six months and we had of this. Let us rewind six months and we had 50,000 of this. Let us rewind six months and we had 50,000 cases of this. Let us rewind six months and we had 50,000 cases a of this. Let us rewind six months and we had 50,000 cases a day| of this. Let us rewind six months i and we had 50,000 cases a day in of this. Let us rewind six months and we had 50,000 cases a day in the middle ofjanuary. That and we had 50,000 cases a day in the middle of january. That was the second wave, the peak of the second wave and what did we do about that . We had to lock down to prevent The Nhs being overwhelmed. That tells as how different a situation we are in today because we are not talking about lockdown, we are talking about opening up in the big difference is vaccines that are keeping people out of hospital and stopping people from dying from covid 19. We have become so programmed, we are headlining a 50,000 cases a day because all experiences have told us that volume of cases is a massive problem but vaccines have changed the situation. I am not saying there will not be rough days ahead, we have been talking about it all day. Chris whitty talking about the potential pressure on hospitals because despite how well vaccines work, some are still end up in hospital. We have heard about the impact on businesses and staff needing to isolate, so there are going to be consequences as cases continue to rise but this is not the same as january. Rise but this is not the same as janua. , , january. The first thing, is this about the january. The first thing, is this about The Delta january. The first thing, is this about the Delta Variant . January. The first thing, is this about the Delta Variant . We i january. The first thing, is this i about the Delta Variant . We keep hearing the Delta Variant is more transmissible. I hearing the Delta Variant is more transmissible. Transmissible. I always say that everything transmissible. I always say that everything is transmissible. I always say that everything is a transmissible. I always say that everything is a combination transmissible. I always say that everything is a Combination Of. Transmissible. I always say that I Everything is a Combination Of the virus and our behaviour so what we know is, if you were to reverse a time and pretend the Delta Variant never came here, the previous round of unlocking, cases would not have taken off because you see that the previous variant in kent, thatjust continued to come down despite the relaxing of restrictions. However it is notjust the Delta Variant alone, it is also our behaviour and the way thatis it is also our behaviour and the way that is changing over time and will change on monday you are right in the sense that i dont think we would be here if it wasnt for the Delta Variant but also the things that we are doing as well allow the virus to spread. Yes that we are doing as well allow the virus to spread. That we are doing as well allow the virus to spread. Yes and in terms of the Vaccine Virus to spread. Yes and in terms of the vaccine programme, virus to spread. Yes and in terms of the vaccine programme, absolutely| the vaccine programme, absolutely taking on board your point and we know of the many successes that that has had, equally, all of this on a day when for example we are talking about the fact that new research showed younger people who get hospitalised with covid 19 have had some very, very serious repercussions, almost as many knock on effects as people over the age of 50, problems with kidneys or lungs, and it reminds us that it is not something to be trifled with still. Is that a message scientists would want to get out . That still. Is that a message scientists would want to get out . Still. Is that a message scientists would want to get out . That is part of what chris would want to get out . That is part of what Chris Woody would want to get out . That is part of what Chris Woody said, would want to get out . That is part of what Chris Woody said, the of what Chris Woody said, the caution about everything is relax on monday, it is not the same as going back to 2019. We are not going to be living the exact lives we were living the exact lives we were living before the pandemic started. You are right, there are consequences across the board including the young people. Young people are far less likely to end up in the hospital, it is the ones who do have the same consequences, but, yes, we are not going to have a completely smooth couple of weeks and months ahead. There will still be challenges posed by covid 19, by the pandemic, but they are dramatically lessened by the vaccine and that is the only reason that politicians even have the potential to think about relaxing as they are doing, because of the vaccines. If it wasnt, we would be having debates about lockdown again. That is how far we have come. That debates about lockdown again. That is how far we have come. Is how far we have come. That is remarkable. Is how far we have come. That is remarkable, thank is how far we have come. That is remarkable, thank you is how far we have come. That is remarkable, thank you for is how far we have come. That is remarkable, thank you for now. | is how far we have come. That is i remarkable, thank you for now. We will be talking more about severe covid 19, that research i mentioned, later on. Also,. An increasing number of businesses are warning its becoming impossible to operate properly, because so many staff are being told to self isolate by The Nhs Test And Trace app. More than half A Million people were sent an alert last week across england and wales. The Rmt Union has warned of another surge next week because of confusion about mask wearing on public transport. And Meat Processing plants have said that theyve had to cut production because of staffing issues. Downing street has said the Contact Tracing app remains one of the best tools we have to tackle Coronavirus And Wouldnt be drawn on whether any exemptions might be introduced for specific industries. Ben king reports. Phones pinging as covid cases rise, the app designed to protect us is telling hundreds of thousands to stay home. So many, in fact, that some businesses are struggling to stay open. If i get pinged, my main problem is the business has to close so far me it is all about safety so i will probably wear a face mask, i still have my screen up in the shop. Pinging is such a problem because it shuts everything down, especially at schools, and my customers with their children they have to isolate them for ten days and it is so disruptive to everybody. The number of app users warned they have been close to an infected person passed half A Million last week in england and wales, an increase of 46 on the previous week. At the moment, anyone pinged is advised to stay home but from the 16th of August People who are fully vaccinated will not have to. Big businesses are also starting to feel the impact of self isolating staff. Car makers nissan and Rolls Royce warned it might hit production, and the association of Meat Processors says its members are close to having to close some Production Lines down. Most of them are having between 5 and 10 being pinged and self isolating at home and this is causing quite a few shortages for the industry and quite a few problems for the industry which is already understaffed. And Health Care providers are warning that staff shortages might hurt their ability to deliver care. In The Nhs, its a very significant issue. We are now at the point where we have got so many Nhs Staff off because of the app pinging that it is beginning to affect patient care. Other businesses such as nightclubs are getting ready to open for the first time in a year as most coronavirus restrictions are lifted on monday, and crowds are preparing to gather at big sporting events, which could all mean even more pings. App providers have been asked to reduce the sensitivity but the government says it is doing itsjob. Reducing the spread of covid. We are in the middle of a pandemic and we know the virus spreads and it spreads without showing any symptoms and so the app is one of a number of ways in which we are trying to tackle the virus. The key to the fight against covid is still the vaccine and the weekend sees the second Grab Ajab Campaign where any adult can get their first vaccination without an appointment at large Pop Up clinics around the country. Ben king, bbc news. More than 120 people are confirmed dead after some of the worst flooding in decades devastated parts of Northern Europe. Many hundreds more are injured or unaccounted for, across germany, belgium and the nertherlands. The work of the Emergency Services is being severely restricted because of the difficult conditions. The german president has called for a more determined battle against Climate Change. The power of the water has been immense. Let me show a picture of the scale of the devastation in one of the most affected areas in Western Germany. Here you can see what the village of Baat Noyunar Arvieler looked like before the floods and here it is afterwards. The water gushed through the town causing huge destruction. It had such power it has destroyed this bridge. 0urfirst Report is from anna holligan. An apocalyptic scene. Lives, homes lost to the most devastating floods here in decades. Hundreds are still missing and more rain is on the horizon. This is one german village, schuld, but the catastrophic images spanned three nations with banks on the river meuse. Across the border in belgium, it is impossible to capture the scale of the disaster, but this is an indication a submerged town engulfed in flames. In liege, there are fears its not over yet. Translation i have never seen anything like it. Its scary. I came by at midday yesterday, you could still see the little barrier there. This morning you cant see it. The waters are rising more and more. Its scary. Many here are asking why events like this appear to be happening more frequently. In a warmer world, the atmosphere can hold more moisture and, of course, as there is more water, more moisture in the atmosphere, Rainfall Events can become more extreme, so weve seen before that extreme Rainfall Events can become more frequent because of Climate Change. Here in the netherlands, this part of Lindberg Province is now officially classified as a disaster zone, which means the government will offer financial support to those who have lost almost everything. Here in valkenburg theyre battling to salvage everything that hasnt already been lost to the floods. A Water Pipe has just burst and round here many of the locals were evacuated overnight. They have returned home with shovels and pipes to try to save their own homes. Brigitte tried to build her own Flood Defences to protect her family. She told me how it felt to be inside as the water rose. Fearful. Yeah. I was afraid that the water would come in more and nothing you can do. The sound of the Water Dripping into your house, i never want to hear it again. Ever. It is terrible. It is still too soon for many to comprehend the loss or calculate the cost. Anna holligan, bbc news, valkenburg. 0ur Correspondentjenny Hill is in erftstadt near cologne. She says were a long way from knowing the full picture of what has happened in germany. Well over 90 people are now confirmed dead in these floods, but that number is expected to only rise as the day goes on, and thats because a lot of people are still missing. Now, the authorities in Western Germany say they cant really tell us exactly how many people are unaccounted for. Thats because mobile Phone Signal has gone down in many of the affected areas, so it may be that some people are trying to communicate with their Loved Ones but are unable to, or it may be that the worst has happened. Im stood on the banks here of the River Erft and you can probablyjust see how powerful this water still is. Much of this area is under water. And just a little bit further behind me in part of the town here, terrible scenes unfolded overnight. A number of houses collapsed and Rescue Workers have been trying to get to other people trapped in their homes using boats because the area has been completely flooded. And earlier, the authorities actually said that theyd been receiving Phone Calls from people trapped in their houses but that rescue, in theirwords, in many cases, was simply impossible. If anyone here thought that today would bring a little bit of fresh hope, it has really been dashed. And actually overnight, a reservoir in another part of the region overflowed its dam. That caused more flooding, thousands of people evacuated from their homes. Well over 165,000 households are without power now. Germany is reeling from these floods. They have devastated notjust this region, but the rest of the country and people here right now are having to wait and hope for news of their Loved Ones. Im nowjoined by Swenja Surminski shes the deputy director, Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the environment at the London School of economics. Good afternoon. How shocked are you, if at all, at the scale of this . Well, indeed, these archery shocking pictures from Belgium And Germany and my thoughts are with all those affected. I am german and our institute works with some of the communities in those areas affected in Western Germany as part of our work so it is really sad. I think a shocking part is the impact on life and livelihoods. The Rainfall Fits into the Climate Change projections and that is what we have been known for some time. The impact on lives and these high numbers of casualties, that is really shocking. Yes, so if you work in the field of Flood Resilience and we are talking in some parts of germany about two Months Worth of rainfall in two days, first of, can you make an Area Flood resilient if you are talking about that sheer quantity of water . There is no Silver Bullet and yes, the sheer quantity is a huge problem and as we have seen, it has overwhelmed infrastructure and buildings simply crashed. I think what this requires is an holistic approach and what we really need to start with understanding how do we communicate early warnings . This seems to be one of the issues that is emerging. We have had forecasts, have those forecasts been communicated . What can you do in terms of really taking quick action to protect lives . That seems to be one of the key issues that we need to investigate, what happened. Then i think, yes, to investigate, what happened. Then ithink, yes, it to investigate, what happened. Then i think, yes, it is about also living with water and i think what we need to understand is, the water has to go somewhere. 0ften, we need to understand is, the water has to go somewhere. Often, in some of these areas that were affected, people are more used to the regular flooding from the river, which kind of takes time and you have enough time to prepare for it, but with these flash floods, it is really sudden and quick, so evacuation and drills for that particular type of flooding is very important. I5 drills for that particular type of flooding is very important. Is that Somethin Flooding is very important. Is that something that flooding is very important. Is that something that we flooding is very important. Is that something that we all flooding is very important. Is that something that we all should flooding is very important. Is that something that we all should be i something that we all should be thinking and talking more about and preparing for . I heard one german meteorologist this morning who was adamant and said, look, we had said that this much rain was coming, there was a small window of opportunity to start telling people, to urge people to leave their homes. That was one persons take on it but clearly that didnt happen . Yes. Clearly that didnt happen . Yes, there will be clearly that didnt happen . Yes, there will be lots clearly that didnt happen . Yes, there will be lots of clearly that didnt happen . Yes, there will be lots of lessons clearly that didnt happen . Is there will be lots of lessons learnt and in fact we did some work last year revisiting systems across different countries and one key message was about Risk Communication and Information Sharing. This applies also to all of us as individuals. Have we signed up to flood alerts . In germany around 11 of the population have signed up to these alerts so that needs to be a whole effort to make people aware and notjust when you live next to the river but also in areas that have historically been impacted by floods. Awareness is really important but also telling people what options they have, what can you do when it is really as dramatic as what we have seen recently . I think going forward, we have to learn the lessons unfortunately because it is not going to be the last flash flood. But there is a lot that can be done also in terms of Making Space for water and finding ways for the water to go. Flan space for water and finding ways for the water to go. Space for water and finding ways for the water to go. Can it be done . Can it be retrofitted, the water to go. Can it be done . Can it be retrofitted, if the water to go. Can it be done . Can it be retrofitted, if you the water to go. Can it be done . Can it be retrofitted, if you like . The water to go. Can it be done . Can it be retrofitted, if you like . We it be retrofitted, if you like . We look at our situation in the uk, an old country with narrow roads and narrow pathways and as with lots of european countries, can more be done to improve that . I am assuming if it can, it will be expensive . That to improve that . I am assuming if it can, it will be expensive . Can, it will be expensive . At the moment we can, it will be expensive . At the moment we are can, it will be expensive . At the moment we are looking can, it will be expensive . At the moment we are looking at can, it will be expensive . At the I Moment we are looking at germany but the uk climate Change Risk Assessment has been published and a big emphasis there on Flood Resilience. Retrofitting is important particular when it comes to infrastructure so that is costly but it is an investment. Then i think it is also thinking more smartly about Building Regulations and planning permissions. It is revisiting where we build where we live and how we live and i think floods, but you also have heatwaves so it needs to be a jOint Approach to Climate Change. We so it needs to be a Oint Approach to Climate Change. To Climate Change. We have been talkin to Climate Change. We have been talking about to Climate Change. We have been talking about the to Climate Change. We have been talking about the heatwaves i to Climate Change. We have been talking about the heatwaves in i talking about the heatwaves in america and canada of course also new are addressing some huge fundamental questions. We have the conference coming up in glasgow later in the year, these are issues, i assume, that you feel a need to be addressed by countries together, this is some joined addressed by countries together, this is somejoined up addressed by countries together, this is some joined up thinking that is needed here . This is some joined up thinking that is needed here . Yes, Climate Change is needed here . Yes, Climate Change is a rlobal is needed here . Yes, Climate Change is a global problem is needed here . Yes, Climate Change is a global problem but is needed here . Yes, Climate Change is a global problem but it is needed here . Yes, Climate Change is a global problem but it affects i is a global problem but it affects local communities and it affects us. Mice was flooded on monday in london so this can happen pretty much everywhere. This unfortunately for vulnerable people and we have seen this in germany where Care Homes and homes for the disabled people were badly affected, so this is also about fairness and making sure that we take care of those who are vulnerable in communities. I think the conference will play a big role but it is also about then translating that international and local action and i have to say, unfortunately on the Adaptation And Resilience side, not enough is being done. ,. ,. ,. ,. , done. This is about Human Behaviour as well. Done. This is about Human Behaviour as well have done. This is about Human Behaviour as well. Have we, done. This is about Human Behaviour as well.

Well, there is Human Behaviour at all levels so one of i behaviour at all levels so one of the underlining drivers is Climate Change and we have caused that but floods are also determined by what we do, when the water comes and where we build, how much space has actually been levelled over. We do not allow water to find natural Waste Or Flooding and there are lots of ways that i think we have started to create huge Flood Problems and we continue to create huge problems and we have to revisit that because Climate Change tells us that problems are only going to get worse. ,. ,. , i.

I the headlines on bbc news. Politicians in Northern Ireland have met the secretary of state, brandon lewis, to discuss their opposition to the governments plans for dealing with legacy issues. Proposals to end all prosecutions related to the troubles were widely criticised when they were unveiled earlier this week. Danjohnson is at stormont for us. We heard there were frank and robust exchanges this morning. Resolving of the issues stemming from Northern Irelands troubles was never going to be simple and finding a solution that pleased everyone was perhaps going to be impossible but what the British Government has achieved its unanimous opposition to the plans that it has laid out across the political spectrum, across all the groups that represent victims and the irish government as well because there are so many families with so many questions, what happened to their Loved One . Who planted that bomb . You organise that kidnapping . Who carried out that shooting . And what about the soldiers and security services, today Always Act Within The Law . Those are the sorts of questions that remain for thousands of victims, thousands of people who were injured, notjust in Northern Ireland. The British Government was to put an end to all prosecutions, the investigations, the inquests the civil cases, right across the board. In effect, an amnesty as some have described it and that is what has enraged people here because they see it as undermining the rule of law. The secretary of state believes that that will bring people closer to the Truth And Reconciliation through ending prosecutions but in place putting an Information Sharing and Fact Finding Operation but this Mornings Meeting was responded to by the Sinn Fein Leader mary Lou Mcdonald saying the British Government was acting in total bad faith. The ulster in this leader said victims� families and survivors were being failed. The assembly is being recalled here next week so politicians here can discuss these proposals. The way ahead looks very tricky. Police and prosecutors are being told to stop blaming each other for the low number of Rape Convictions in england and wales. Only 3 of recorded rapes resulted in a prosecution in the year 2019 20. A report by two watchdogs is demanding an urgent and fundamental shift in the way the crime is investigated and dealt with. Wendy williams, her Majestys Inspector of constabulary, who worked on the report, says that police and prosecutors need to change how they work together on cases. We talk about a vicious cycle where everyone has concerns about the low numbers of prosecutions, but that concern can lead to a much more cautious approach to rape cases than other cases, which can result in considerable delays and in victims feeling that the focus is principally on them and their credibility, rather than on the Suspect And Building strong cases. As a result of those delays and that perception, that can lead to victims withdrawing their support for cases, which in turn contributes to low prosecutions, so weve highlighted that vicious cycle and we have said that the cycle must be broken. Our home Affairs Correspondent June Kelly told us more. Last month the government produced its Rape Review and one of the key recommendations in that was that police and prosecutors needed to work more closely together. This Report Today says that there is this Blame Culture going on. Theyre pointing the finger at each other and it says that while you have that mindset, youre never going to get any progress on the stats and getting more cases to court because the government is committed to actually getting the Prosecution Rate back to where it was five years ago. Now, the people at the top of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service are saying that they have started working more closely together and, in fact, today they announced even greater collaboration and the watchdogs say, well, that is fine, but where it really matters is what is happening on the ground and that collaboration has to filter right down. One example, they say the communication between the two organisations often is done by e mail. Theyre saying to them, get on the phone and speak to each other because these cases need to be discussed. It shouldnt all be done by e mail. If you think that there were 50,000 Rape Complaints made in england and wales, the latest stats show, that is 50,000 people and the watchdogs are saying today, those people deserve to have their cases properly assessed. The metropolitan police are telling us that two men have been arrested following those scenes you will remember i am sure at wembley before the euro 2020 final, so they are telling as a two men have been arrested on suspicion of theft following allegations that they took items and share them for the purposes of allowing people to get unauthorised access to wembley stadium. An 18 year old man from ilford has been arrested and an 18 year old man from um in east london, arrested and released under his investigation while inquiries continue. Newsjust through. The weather is next. With high Pressure Close by, most of the uk is hot and five this weekend with the exception of scotland. Cloud, wind and the chance of some light rain. Elsewhere, patchy cloud, very warm sunny spells. 15 degrees up very warm sunny spells. 15 degrees up north and mid 20s further south. Into tonight, The Cloud is more extensive in scotland pushing into Northern Ireland. If you patches elsewhere with temperatures mostly heading down towards the mid teens. We will start saturday with plenty of sunshine around with the exception of Northern Ireland. The sun will break through. A few sunny spells but on the whole, it will estate rather cloudy and drizzly and there will still be a brisk wind. Mr and Luke Cloud and dinnington and wales, plenty of sunshine.

We will talk about a new piece of research around coronavirus which shows adults are nearly as likely to suffer from complications as people over the age of 50. 0ur Health Correspondentjim reed has the details. Im in icu. My lungs collapsed. And ivejust found out i have pneumonia. Looking back 18 months on. Paul was 31 years old last march when he was taken to Hospital Paul was 31 years old last march when he was taken to hospital with what later turned out to be covid. It was the worst experience of my life, obviously. It was horrific. Its one of those things, you just dont know how to really deal with it but you mentallyjust do. You dont know how. Well, before the pandemic, paul was diagnosed with bronchiectasis, a serious lung condition. In hospital, he was told covid had caused pneumonia. I couldnt believe how this virus had ruined my body so quickly. Had ruined my body so quickly, and the fight that i would have to fight. I could see on their face that they were quite shocked, but they did everything they could. Paul was treated here in colchester last year. Hes certain the staff at this hospital saved his life. What we didnt know at the time, though, was just how much damage a severe Covid Infection could do to the body. Now a new study has looked back at the first wave of the pandemic to see how those who needed Hospital Treatment were affected. An analysis of 70,000 covid patients found that half suffered some form of medical complication in hospital. The most common was a kidney injury, followed by Lung And Heart damage. While those aged 50 and over were most likely to have a problem, researchers said they were surprised to find high levels of medical complications in patients like paul in their 30s and even younger. This study, again, reinforces covid is not the flu. We are seeing one in three of even the youngest of our adults who are coming into hospital suffering significant complications, some of which will require further monitoring and potentially further treatment in the future. Doctors are not yet certain how covid can cause organ damage, but its likely that, in some cases, the bodys own Immune System can get carried away and attack healthy tissue. It is thought vaccines can help by reducing the severity of the disease. For people like paul, the damage caused by covid has lasted over a year a reminder that 18 months into this pandemic, were onlyjust starting to learn about this virus and its long term impact on our health.

Now its being friday, that is time for the Film Review. Heres Mark Kermode. Hello and welcome to the Film Review with me, Mark Kermode, rounding up the best new movies available for viewing in cinemas and in the home. Far and away the most important and uplifting new release this week is summer of soul, Questloves Sundance Award winning documentary that uncovers a Treasure Trove of footstomping, heart stopping live Music Footage that, incredibly, has remained hidden for half a century. Are you ready, black people . Crowd ready are you really ready . Ready are you ready to listen to all the beautiful black voices, the beautiful black feeling, the beautiful black waves moving in the beautiful air . Are you ready, black people . Documenting the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival that has until now been effectively erased from Pop Culture history, summer of soul boasts a jaw dropping roster of acts who performed in Mount Morris Park over six consecutive weekends including stevie wonder, Nina Simone, sly and the family stone, Gladys Knight and the pips, bb king, the Fifth Dimension and many, many more. Nobody ever heard of the harlem culture festival. Nobody would believe that happened. The acting amazing, the atmosphere electrifying and the footage, frankly, astonishing, not least because its lain unseen for so long. While mike wadleigh� s woodstock and the maysles brothers� gimme shelter have long been considered the definitive documents of the highs and lows of Pop Culture in � 69, summer of soul makes both look like a footnote to the main event musically, politically, culturally. It took me by surprise, i must say. From Mavis Staples and Mahalia Jackson performing Doctor Martin Luther king� s favourite song, take my hand, precious lord to Nina Simone unveiling a new composition inspired by the Off Broadway Stage show to be young, gifted and black, this is some of the most thrilling Concert Footage you� ll ever see. Cant you hear me callin to ya . Astutely chosen newsreels put the performances in context, coming at The End of a decade of unrest and assassinations, with the war raging in vietnam and civil rights under attack at home
