PositIon, with their 1 Pay Rise, a real terms pay cut, rejected by the independent peabody. So what do the government do . Nothing. Less than an hour ago, there were competing briefings on what the deal was going to be but it turned out to be nothing. Our Nhs Staff deserve better than this. They have worked incredibly hard throughout this pandemic, the personal sacrifice is astounding. Their hard work never stops, and that is not without consequences. Work related stress has increased by nearly Io , Mental Health is consistently the most reported reason for Staff Absence in the nhs, accounting for approximately half a millIon days lost every single month. Half a millIon days lost every single month to Mental Health. These issues preceded the pandemic, but the increased pressure, Intensity And Trauma experienced by staff is taking its toll. Reports published in january found that nearly taking its toll. Reports published injanuary found that nearly half of Front Line Nhs Staff are suffering with ptsd symptoms, severe depressIon, and many drinking to numb the pain. It is of little surprise, then, that a third of staff are considering leaving their jobs, with vacancies throughout the health service, retaining staff is absolutely vital, especially when the nhs is embarking on a vaccine booster campaign, tackling the coming wave of coronavirus hospitalisatIons, treating the growing number of long covid cases, and dealing with the ever mounting backlog. This is why a fair Pay Rise and conditIons are so important. It is notjust a moral imperative, it is notjust a moral imperative, it is also about the future functIoning of our nhs. By refusing to offer a Pay Rise, the Government Risk workers leaving the health service, creating more vacancies, shortfalls during shifts and increased workloads for the staff who remain. It also makes recruitment much, much harder. With huge gaps in crucial areas, such as nursing, it makes the governments already insufficient pledge to recruit 50,000 more nurses by 2024 simply impossible. Health Care Staff are rightly angry that they have been treated in this way, and we will recognise that unIons will want to consult their members on all proposals, and we support them in doing this. The fact that even unIons themselves have been keptin even unIons themselves have been kept in the dark is utterly unacceptable. After the Year Weve had, there shouldnt be so many unanswered questIons. So i ask the minister, is this really fair on Nhs Staff who have had to bury their colleagues, as well as their families . Is this really fair on Nhs Staff who have been sent like lambs to the slaughter without appropriate ppe to work throughout this pandemic, and that is using their words . Is this really fair on Nhs Staff, who are sent to support us and ourfamilies and equipped with inappropriate ppe, and is this fair when Nhs Staff nursed our Loved Ones when Nhs Staff nursed our Loved Ones when they died alone . And is this fair when staff are exhausted, and there are still No End In Sight . Minister, this is quite simply an insult of the highest order. After everything our Nhs Staff have done for us, when will the government finally make them feel valued, and offer them something more than collapse . A statement on the nhs should have concrete plans on how the government will support the nhs in tackling the summer crisis, so if the minister is so sure that she understands Nhs Staff and their pressures and workload, i invite her to do a shift with me on the A E Front Line, and she can shadow me for once. Thank you. Just Front Line, and she can shadow me for once. Thank you. Front line, and she can shadow me for once. Thank you. Just before the minister responds, for once. Thank you. Just before the minister responds, i for once. Thank you. Just before the minister responds, i will for once. Thank you. Just before the minister responds, i will say for once. Thank you. Just before the minister responds, i will say that I Minister responds, i will say that Mr Speaker will be annoyed, to say the least, Mr Speaker will be annoyed, to say the least, that the honourable lady didnt the least, that the honourable lady didnt receive the statement from the minister in time, but the minister did apologise at the beginning of her remarks, so ive noted that beginning of her remarks, so ive noted that apology, and we dont have noted that apology, and we dont have to go any further on that, but ive also have to go any further on that, but ive also noted what the honourable lady said ive also noted what the honourable lady said.

She was heard in the dispatch box. She was heard in the minister must be heard. It is clearly very the minister must be heard. It 3 clearly very important the things we say in this chamber and they have ripples beyond this chamber and so the tone of what we say, i for one certainly consider as extremely important. She asked and spoke about pay for Nhs Staff. As she knows, the government asked for recommendatIons from the nhs Pay Review bodies and the government is rightly serIously considering those recommendatIons. And we will be responding as soon as we possibly can. She also knows that last year the chancellor committed to Nhs Staff receiving a Pay Rise at a time when there is a wider freeze on Public Sector pay, recognising the extraordinary lengths our Nhs Staff have gone to during the pandemic. She talked about the pressures on Nhs Staff what she and i know go back a long way, but of course have been so much greater during this pandemic. We know that Io'>Nhs StudIo so on the screen at the moment in the House Of Commons as the social Care Minister helen whatley, and responding to questIons from Dr Rizzi and khan, who was highly critical of the lack of a statement on the much anticipated nhs pay agreement. She is saying, Thatis Nhs pay agreement. She is saying, that is helen whatley, that they are taking into consideratIon recommendatIons from a number of Pay Review bodies and will be responding in due time. That labour there are not happy that nothing was said today, a short time ago, in the House Of Commons. Moving on to other news here. The uk has demanded significant changes to Northern Irelands Post Brexit Trading Arrangements, but has held back from tearing up parts of the deal. The Brexit Minister Lord frost has said that the difficulties with the northern Ireland Protocol are the main obstacle to a relatIonship with the Ion'>European UnIon, and that we cannot go on as we are. The protocol requires checks on goods coming in from mainland britain. Chris page reports. Northern ireland has always been on the brexit Front Line. And this is the new frontier. There is a Trade Border at ports like belfast for goods arriving here from great britain. The inspectIons and bureaucracy are affecting a number of businesses, like this Pet Food Wholesaler in county tyrone. Theres a lot more paperwork, its taking me a lot more time. We are also finding that suppliers are limiting the amount of products for us. So it means were having to look more at suppliers in europe. Under the arrangement known as the northern Ireland Protocol, a range of products, particularly food, need to be checked to ensure they are in line with Eu Rules. Thats because Northern Ireland has an open Land Border with an eu state, the Republic Of Ireland. The eu wants to prevent goods which dont match its standards from entering its Single Market. Big supermarkets believe there needs to be a more flexible approach, or else consumers in this part of the uk will lose out. Northern irish People, everybody in Northern Ireland is going to see, very, very visibly, the impact of brexit on the protocol because there will be gaps on the shelves. And you know, this christmas i can tell you already, we are having to make decisIons to delist products for Northern Ireland because it is simply not worth the risk of trying to get it through. But the protocol is about more than inspectIons, Paperwork And Business Supply Chains. The effects in Northern Ireland are practical and political, because unIonists regard the new Trade Border as being an unacceptable barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk. There have been a series of Street Protests by demonstrators, who say the protocol diminishes their british identity. In parliament this morning, the leader of unIonism argued the protocol went against the Peace Deal which ended the conflict in Northern Ireland, because People hadnt voted for it. Any new arrangements entered into with the eu that involve i Northern Ireland must respect the principle of consent that is at the heart of the belfast agreement. And that means that any new arrangements must protect the constitutIonal integrity of the united kingdom and Northern Irelands place within the uk. The Northern Ireland secretary set out his proposals, saying the Protocol Wasnt working. We see an opportunity to proceed differently, to find a new path, to seek to agree with the eu, through negotiatIons, a new balance in our arrangements covering Northern Ireland, to the benefit of all. Whether the governments latest ideas go anywhere depends on the continuing talks between london and brussels. The irish government says it is willing to consider any creative solutIons, but the Protocol Cant be renegotiated. Resolving the stalemate Matters hugely for Northern Ireland, but also for future relatIons between the uk and the eu. Chris page, Bbc News, belfast. Joining me now is our Ireland Correspondent danjohnson. So, dan, there are so many criticisms that have been brought up. First off, an issue of broken trust. ,. , , up. First off, an issue of broken trust. , , trust. Yes, absolutely, because fundamentally trust. Yes, absolutely, because fundamentally this trust. Yes, absolutely, because fundamentally this is trust. Yes, absolutely, because fundamentally this is an trust. Yes, absolutely, because fundamentally this is an agreement, an internatIonal treaty that the British Government negotiated and signed up to, so for it to now criticise that agreement, to point out all the practical problems with it and to call for it essentially to be renegotiated wont go down well with some, notably the irish government and parts of the Ion'>European UnIon. This is all about protecting the standards on goods arriving here from the rest of the united kingdom, because there is no border with the Republic Of Ireland, the eu once those cheques to take place as goods cross the Irish Sea so that it knows anything Going On at the republic, and hence into the eu, matches up to its standards. Now, an agreement on veterinary standards would balance those things up but the british garment has been reluctant to do that. Part of brexit was giving the british Government Freedom to make its own rules but that is now having a real world impact in Northern Ireland on the sorts of goods that People will be able to buy when these checks Come Into full force in these checks Come Into full force in the autumn, and on the range of goods and products that may be available, particularly in some supermarkets, particularly around christmas. Let me read you a couple of the lines around the government has met Proposal Document they have put together today that outlines just what sort of impact the protocol and its practical measures are having. The Uk Government does not Command Paper says the protocol has not delivered on some of its core objectives, notably the explicit commitments to protect Northern Ireland because my place in the uk internal market, and to avoid disruptIon to everyday life. The British Government says 200 companies in great britain have stopped serving the Northern Ireland market. Things like plants and trees that have long been sourced from great britain can no longer be stocked in nurseries here in Northern Ireland, because of those Eu Rules applying on goods coming over the sea. The Uk Government says supermarkets have reduced their Product Lines because of the delays, because of the prospect of even more checks, and medicines are at risk of discontinuatIon because of the hurdles to clear, to reach the small Northern Ireland market, making supply unviable. Pet owners, including those who rely on guide dogs, face the prospect of unnecessary vaccinatIon and treatment, so some real world impacts these measures are having desperate attempt by the Uk Government to have that reconsidered, a call for a flexible approach. But these have been intractable problems now that have been wrangled over for pretty much the five years that brexit has been Going On. The five years that brexit has been auoin on. The five years that brexit has been uuoinon. Going on. Ok, dan johnson, we will leave it there. Going on. Ok, dan johnson, we will leave it there. Thank Going On. Ok, dan johnson, we will leave it there. Thank you. Our political correspondent Iain Watson said that for westminster, the remaining sticking points with the eu means problems may contninue for some time. To some extent, brexit are still Unfinished Business and certainly thatis Unfinished Business and certainly that is the case when it comes to Northern Ireland. In order to get that deal threw in 2019 of course, and to make sure there is no hard border on the island of ireland, the rather tricky business of having to have checks on goods going from great britain to Northern Ireland was conceded by the British Government, and in his bbc interview, the former aide to the prime minister Dominic Cummings said this about the northern Ireland Protocol. It was a fudge, which punted difficult questIons into the future. It is now those difficult questIons which have to be answered and havent been resolved, so today in the house of lords, Lord Frost, the very man who negotiated the northern Ireland Protocol said that significant changes to that protocol were now needed. He was worried about, for example, chilled meats and other issues we have been hearing about, perhaps not being able to be on sale in Northern Ireland, unless there are new negotiatIons with the Ion'>European UnIon. He called for a standstill to these new checks to be introduced. The difficulty for him, though, is that while the eu say they are able to make some concessIons, for example on the sale of medicines, they will not rewrite the entire protocol, and this comes at a time when tensIons with brussels are particularly high over another piece of Unfinished Business, gibraltar, where they say the eus proposals for dealing with the status of the rock amounts to undermining uk integrity, so as you can see, brexit has a long tail. Lets get more on this with david henig, whos the Uk Director of the think tank, the European Centre for internatIonal political economy. Thank you forjoining us here on Bbc News. So, First off, from what youve heard, were you expecting those announcements, and what do they mean . How should we be interpreting them . I they mean . How should we be interpreting them . They mean . How should we be interpreting them . I think the paper that the Uk Government interpreting them . I think the paper that the Uk Government has been i that the Uk Government has been putting that the Uk Government has been putting out today is very much in line with putting out today is very much in line with expectatIons. It lays out the reasons why the Uk Government is dissatisfied with the protocol, why it feels dissatisfied with the protocol, why it feels it dissatisfied with the protocol, why it feels it was a mistake really to sin it feels it was a mistake really to sign it it feels it was a mistake really to sign it in it feels it was a mistake really to sign it in the First place really, and what sign it in the First place really, and what it thinks should now be done and what it thinks should now be done in and what it thinks should now be done in its and what it thinks should now be done in its place. But i think the real problem with This Is It is very much real problem with This Is It is very much speaking to a uk audience. ObvIously. Much speaking to a uk audience. ObvIously, when you are in a negotiatIon or you have signed a treaty. NegotiatIon or you have signed a treaty, the other party is equally important, and these proposals realty important, and these proposals really do important, and these proposals really do appear to be mostly inwardly really do appear to be mostly inwardly focused. There doesnt seem to be Much Inwardly focused. There doesnt seem to be much by way of chance that the eu will to be much by way of chance that the eu will find to be much by way of chance that the eu will find them acceptable. So probably eu will find them acceptable. So probably very much as we were before probably very much as we were before. The uk has merely formalised the positIon that was already discussing. The positIon that was already discussing discussing. There has to be a next step certainly discussing. There has to be a next step. Certainly Jeffrey Donaldson i step. Certainly Jeffrey Donaldson has step. CertainlyJeffrey Donaldson has said that it is a First step, a good First step, but essentially we have to avoid tinkering around the edges. He said the Eu Wont be happy with this, so what can happen next . The government has laid out their positIon, what next . PositIon, what next . There are a certain number positIon, what next . There are a certain number of positIon, what next . There are a. Certain number of implementatIon grace certain number of implementatIon Iod'>Grace PerIods, with regards to the northem Iod'>Grace PerIods, with regards to the northern Ireland Protocol, that expire northern Ireland Protocol, that expire at northern Ireland Protocol, that expire at The End of september, so what we expire at The End of september, so what we can expect next is a series of discussIons between the eu and the uk, of discussIons between the eu and the uk, in of discussIons between the eu and the uk, in august, but primarily in september, to try and find solutIons. I dont think that the Uk Governments paper of today will form Governments Paper of today will form any Governments Paper of today will form any part of that. It is unlikely form any part of that. It is unlikely the eu will in any way wish to reopen unlikely the eu will in any way wish to reopen the full extent of the treaty. To reopen the full extent of the treaty. So to reopen the full extent of the treaty, so it is more likely to be discussIons treaty, so it is more likely to be discussIons about the implementatIon, and again this suggestIon of whether the uk would walk away or invoke the article 16 and take walk away or invoke the article 16 and take unilateral measures. These are still and take unilateral measures. These are still possibilities, so im afraid are still possibilities, so im afraid what we are in the situatIon of, afraid what we are in the situatIon of. And afraid what we are in the situatIon of. And we afraid what we are in the situatIon of, and we may have had this before im of, and we may have had this before im afraid of, and we may have had this before im afraid its continued negotiatIons, continued threats, but no real negotiatIons, continued threats, but no real sense of any change. We are still going no real sense of any change. We are still going through the same situatIon as before, really. What is the Ion'>Likelihood SituatIon as before, really. What is the likelihood of situatIon as before, really. What is the likelihood of Ion'>Article SituatIon as before, really. What is the likelihood of article 16 situatIon as before, really. What is the likelihood of article 16 being i the likelihood of article 16 being invoked . I the likelihood of article 16 being invoked . ~ ,. , invoked . I think the Uk Government is very reluctant invoked . I think the Uk Government is very reluctant to invoked . I think the Uk Government is very reluctant to take invoked . I think the Uk Government is very reluctant to take steps invoked . I think the Uk Government is very reluctant to take steps such i is very reluctant to take steps such as article 16, which essentially would as article 16, which essentially would take unilateral measures to undermine the protocol. The reason being undermine the protocol. The reason being is undermine the protocol. The reason being is that wouldnt go down well with the being is that wouldnt go down well with the eu and it wouldnt go down well with with the eu and it wouldnt go down well with the united states, and theyve well with the united states, and theyve made that absolutely clear. So whilst theyve made that absolutely clear. So whilst the Uk Government is happy to give so whilst the Uk Government is happy to give the so whilst the Uk Government is happy to give the impressIon that it might do that, to give the impressIon that it might do that, in to give the impressIon that it might do that, in the hope that the eu is persuaded do that, in the hope that the eu is persuaded to take more actIon . , they are persuaded to take more actIon . , they are really not keen on doing so. They are really not keen on doing so that they are really not keen on doing so that is they are really not keen on doing so. That is why it has not happened in the so. That is why it has not happened in the last so. That is why it has not happened in the last few months, it is why ultimately in the last few months, it is why ultimately the uk withdrew threats to undermine the treaty through the internal to undermine the treaty through the internal Market Act that you may recall internal Market Act that you may recall last internal Market Act that you may recall last year, so its a threat, but its recall last year, so its a threat, but its a relatively empty one, because but its a relatively empty one, because if but its a relatively empty one, because if the uk does invoke this article because if the uk does invoke this article 16, because if the uk does invoke this article 16, the chances are there will be article 16, the chances are there will be reciprocal actIon from the eu with will be reciprocal actIon from the eu with the support of the us, and that is eu with the support of the us, and that is not eu with the support of the us, and that is not positIon the Uk Government will want to be in. SoL Government will want to be in. So i understand government will want to be in. So i understand that government will want to be in. Cr i understand that the government will want to be in. Sr i understand that the eu believe government will want to be in. Sri understand that the eu believe that the issue could be solved if the uk agreed to follow eu standards, which is known as a swiss style deal. The Uk Government says it wants an equivalent steel. Just very briefly explain that to People, please. Essentially, there are no checks on Food Products going between Switzerland And Eu countries, of which Switzerland And Eu countries, of which their neighbours, france, germany, which their neighbours, france, germany, austria, italy, and thats because germany, austria, italy, and thats because they have a very detailed arrangement in place, which essentially they share regulatIons, or switzerland follows eu regulatIons. An Ion'>Equivalence RegulatIons. An Ion'>Equivalence RegulatIon reduces the number of cheques. RegulatIon reduces the number of cheques, this is the sort of thing that the cheques, this is the sort of thing that the eu has in the uk almost wants to use the Equipment Style Arrangement that New Zealand Equipment Style Arrangement that New Zealand has with the eu but use it with the zealand has with the eu but use it with the eu to remove a border, and thats with the eu to remove a border, and thats not with the eu to remove a border, and thats not really what its there for. Thats not really what its there for~ so thats not really what its there for~ so it thats not really what its there for. So it does get quite complicated, the two sides are talking complicated, the two sides are talking in complicated, the two sides are talking in slightly different ways. It is talking in slightly different ways. It is all talking in slightly different ways. It is all about the level of alignment that uk has with eu law, and the alignment that uk has with eu law, and the Uk Government doesnt really want to and the Uk Government doesnt really want to align too much. It wants to have want to align too much. It wants to have the want to align too much. It wants to have the opportunity to delay verge and a have the opportunity to delay verge and a brexit and the eu says if you diverged and a brexit and the eu says if you diverged too much, then we have to check diverged too much, then we have to check the diverged too much, then we have to check the goods entering Northern Ireland check the goods entering Northern Ireland under the protocol, so thats ireland under the protocol, so thats the heart of the Matter. Gk, thats the heart of the Matter. Ok, it is auoin thats the heart of the Matter. Ok, it is going to thats the heart of the Matter. Ii, it is going to rumble on for some time. David, thank you very much indeed. In the past hour, the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon has published the number of residents who died with covid in individual Care Homes between April 2020 and march this year, after campaigning from families and journalists. The cqc says high numbers of deaths does not correlate with poor care. It was recorded as 40 Forjust Over 39,000 residents 44. The cqc says high numbers of deaths does not correlate with poor care. Within care settings. Joining me now is Professor Martin green, Chief Executive of care england. So lets just start off then with those figures. Is this a good report, is it a concerning report . I think we have got to acknowledge just how dreadful those figures are for the People who have died and theirfamilies, and i dont want to underplay that, but i do think these figures need to be seen in context, and what People dont often realise is that often People in Care Homes are very much very frail People, they have lots of health conditIons, so of course if covid comes into a care setting, it may have a significant impact on that care setting. But every death is a tragedy. What i hope it will be able to do is identify anything from this report where we could have done things differently and improve the situatIon in future. I things differently and improve the situatIon in future. SituatIon in future. I understand that to get situatIon in future. I understand that to get these situatIon in future. I understand that to get these Ion'>Figures SituatIon in future. I understand that to get these figures out, i situatIon in future. I understand i that to get these figures out, there had to be, well, as wejust said, some campaigning that was undertaken. Why . I some campaigning that was undertaken. Why . Some campaigning that was undertaken. Why . I think partly because these undertaken. Why . I think partly because these figures undertaken. Why . I think partly because these figures were not | because these figures were not readily available, and also you have to understand as well the impact this has, not only on People who are resident in those services and their families, but also the staff who are working in them, and i think the issue has to be balanced around the need for these figures, and also i would like to say we have to be really clear when we are issuing statistics and figures like this. We need to say what is the purpose of them, how can they prove things, both now and in the future . So what is the purpose both now and in the future . So what is the purpose of both now and in the future . So what is the purpose of them, both now and in the future . So what is the purpose of them, then . Both now and in the future . So what is the purpose of them, then . I is the purpose of them, then . I think the purpose of them is to show that they have been deaths in Care Homes, and certainly at the start of this Pandemic Care homes were on the very front home Front Line of the Social Care crisis, because we were forgotten, particularly by the nhs at the start of this pandemic, and what we saw was People being transferred into Care Homes who were not tested for covid. We also didnt have the access to ppe, some of which had been redirected from our services to nhs services, and also, we have to remember, that Primary Care had withdrawn from care services at the start of this pandemic, and the focus at the start of the pandemic was all about the nhs, and actually what these figures show was that the Front Line of Social Care was where a lot of the challenges were. So i think one of the things we should learn from this is that when there is a future pandemic, as there may well be, what weve got to do is stop talking about institutIons and start talking about institutIons and start talking about the People who might be at most risk, and identifying how we protect them. You most risk, and identifying how we protect them most risk, and identifying how we protect them. You have mentIoned some challenges protect them. You have mentIoned some challenges in protect them. You have mentIoned some challenges in the protect them. You have mentIoned some challenges in the early protect them. You have mentIoned some challenges in the early days | protect them. You have mentIoned l some challenges in the early days of the pandemic. Have things improved since then . I the pandemic. Have things improved since then . ~ , since then . I think things have significantly since then . I think things have significantly improved, since then . I think things have significantly improved, and since then . I think things have significantly improved, and we| since then . I think things have significantly improved, and we have seen some really clear directIon from governments and the Department Of Health and Social Care around for example free ppe, which was a big challenge. The department has brought forward its introductIon of the advanced care in Care Homes. Care homes are now really understood as the places where a lot of People who are very vulnerable live, and so the system is now wrapping itself around that. There is a better understanding because we have got now better datasets about what is happening. So i think things have significantly improved, though i dont want to underestimate the fact that it dont want to underestimate the Fact Thatitis dont want to underestimate the fact that it is still incredibly difficult, and in fact if you look at the statistics around current levels of covid in general society, we are now pretty much into a third wave, so we are not in a positIon where we can be complacent or let our guard down, particularly in care, because as i said at the beginning of this interview, we are dealing and supporting the most vulnerable People. Dealing and supporting the most vulnerable People. Professor, can i ust um vulnerable People. Professor, can i justjump in vulnerable People. Professor, can i just jump in. Apologies vulnerable People. Professor, can i justjump in. Apologies for vulnerable People. Professor, can i justjump in. Apologies for that. I vulnerable People. Professor, can i just jump in. Apologies for that. I L Justjump in. Apologies for that. I justjump in. Apologies for that. I just want to pick up on that last point, because as you said, People are saying that we are going to be entering another wave, so what sort of measures are Care Homes putting in place, what sort of Preventative Planning are you going through . We planning are you going through . Are going through a lot of that, and i have to say what People should understand is that Care Homes are very practised at infectIon control, and they really understand that, because every year we have dealt with seasonal flu, norovirus and a range of other things, so we were in this space where we understand infectIon control. At the start of the pandemic i think what these figures show is that we were not able to maintain that, perhaps because of not having access to ppe. But i would say now that Care Homes are much clearer about how they try to stop covid coming into a Care Home. We have also got better support from the nhs, so People are not being left without support from the nhs if they have covid. There are clear plans, both within Care Homes but also within local authorities and ccgs, and how they respond to an outbreak, so i do think they have been already a lot of lessons learned, and ijust hope that will translate, if we do go into this third wave, into a much more appropriate response that will save more lives. Save more lives. Professor martin green, save more lives. Professor martin green. Chief save more lives. Professor martin green, Chief Executive save more lives. Professor martin green, Chief Executive of save more lives. Professor martin green, Chief Executive of cair green, Chief Executive of cair england, thank you. France will double the number of police patrolling its beaches, as part of a deal with the uk to stem the number of migrants crossing the english channel. The British Government will pay france more than £54 millIon, as a part of a new agreement between the two countries. The number of People crossing the channel so far this year has already overtaken the total for the whole of last year, almost 8,500. Simonjones reports from dover. Their destinatIon is dover. The latest group of migrants brought to shore this morning by the Border Force after being picked up in the channel, the worlds busiest shipping lane. The Home Secretary says the public has had enough of seeing scenes like these on an almost daily basis. She told mps that things must change. We want to create a deterrent. We cannot continue to support. What we are seeing now, effectively People travelling, smugglers, criminal gangs exploiting our Asylum System to bring economic migrants and People that quite frankly are circumventing our legal migratIon routes, coming into our country illegally. In the past three days, almost A Thousand migrants have reached the uk by boat. That brings the total number for this year to more than 8,400 People, surpassing the figure for the whole of 2020. But there has been a dramatic fall in migrants arriving in the back of lorries, just over 500 in the First five months of this year. And, last year, Asylum Claims in the uk fell. But britain is now giving france more than £50 millIon to try to stop the boat arrivals. That will be used to double the number of Police Officers on the beaches in northern france, and on cutting Edge Technology to monitor the coastline. If this all sounds rather familiar, back in november the British Government gave the french millIons of pounds to increase Police Patrols and surveillance, but the numbers arriving by Boat Have continued to grow, although the Home Office points out that the number of migrants prevented from making The Crossing by the french authorities has also grown too. Groups supporting migrants and refugees once they arrive in the uk say a whole new approach is needed. The reason they come here is because they have been through a lot of hardship. So they are still going to try and make The Crossing unless you give them an optIon before getting in the water to claim asylum. Police stand back from the door the government says it is determined to tackle the smugglers organising illegal crossings.

Liverpool has been stripped of its World Heritage Status by unesco, the uns cultural body, because of concern about developments on the citys waterfront. Its only the third time a site has lost the status. Our Correspondent Colin Paterson is there at the Pier Head, and gave us this update. In 2004, liverpooljoined the ranks of the great wall of china, the pyramids and the Taj Mahal as a World Heritage Site or unesco. A huge Tourist Boost if you get that status. What has happened is that liverpool got this because of its links to the industrial resolutIon, because of its links to the Slave Trade and also the buildings on its waterfront, The Three Graces behind me. For a decade, unesco has been telling liverpool they are worried about developments which were going to overwhelm the area, and what has broken the camels back is the building of evertons new ground one mile away at bramley dock. That has been crucial in Todays Vote which went against liverpool. The mayor of liverpool, joanne anderson, has described the decisIon as incomprehensible and says they will be appealing. Another councillor i spoke to said they would rather have a new Football Ground in the city than World Heritage Status. But liverpool is only the third place ever to lose World Heritage Status after an Animal Sanctuary in omagh and, after dresden and now liverpool. Colin, thank you very much indeed. Now its time for a look at the weather, with ben rich. Hello. The hot weather is not letting up just yet. The Amber Warnings from the met office, extreme heat warnings, still in force across parts of South West england, the South West midlands, south wales, also Northern Ireland, with a risk to health and infrastructure. Lots of hot sunshine through the rest of today. Just one or two thunderstorms popping up. They should be a little more isolated, i think, than they were yesterday, and the highest temperatures across parts of South East wales, the South West midlands, may be the west country, up to 31 degrees. Now, through this evening it is going to stay dry for most. Still one or two isolated thunderstorms rumbling around. Temperatures will hold up into the 20s for many. Those are the values you can expect at 11 oclock, so not particularly comfortable, if youre heading off to sleep, and then as we head through the rest of the night, we will bring some extra low cloud and across north east scotland, north east england, much of that retreating back to the coast during tomorrow.

The Brexit Minister Lord frost has said that the difficulties with the northern Ireland Protocol are the main obstacle to a relatIonship with the Ion'>European UnIon and that � we cannot go on as we are. Joining me is our brexit guru, chris morris. We are going to go back to square one, the northern Ireland Protocol. Square one, the Northern Ireland rotocol. ~ , square one, the Northern Ireland rotocol. , square one, the Northern Ireland rotocol. ,. , protocol. What is it . Lord frost sa s we protocol.

Lord frost says we cannot go on as we are and we have been Going On like this for a few years now. It was part of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement which took us out of the eu and it was designed to ensure there was no hardboard are returning between Northern Ireland and the Republic Of Ireland after brexit is the border between the uk and the eu. In order to make sure there was no hardboard of them it was agreed that ireland would essentially follow all the rules of the eu Single Market when it comes to goods because there are lots of rules when you take things into the eu Single Market. The problem is, there is so much trade between britain and Northern Ireland now they reckon about 20 of all the cheques on goods of Animal Origin like food and things, 20 of all of the cheques are in Northern Ireland. They dont have many vets. So the british argument is that it is unsustainable. The problem is that this is the deal which the Uk Government and Borisjohnson Government and Boris Johnson negotiated and Government And Borisjohnson negotiated and signed up to. Mr johnson said in December 2019 they would be no checks in either directIon between Northern Ireland and great britain. It was clear at the time that was not correct but it appears as though the government because my positIon was get brexit done and less worry about the details later. While the details are still there and are still here now and they will be with us for years to come. I and they will be with us for years to come. , and they will be with us for years tocome. , to come. I suppose the eu is sitting back saying. To come. I suppose the eu is sitting back saying.

What the | back saying, told you so. What the government back saying, told you so. What the government has back saying, told you so. What the government has said back saying, told you so. What the government has said today is back saying, told you so. What the government has said today is that L Government has said today is that it wants to do away with most of the cheques on trade. But the eu says you have signed an agreement and you have to live up to it and its an internatIonal treaty. They dont want to do what the uk has Suggested which is renegotiate the agreement that it took a long time to negotiate which has onlyjust been put into practice. Theuks view is different. It says its not working and there needs to be more flexibility to what it is said today is that most of the cheques have to go. They are not working. And also Lord Frost has said we want to remove the eu institutIon, the European Court ofjustice from overseeing the steel. That is quite a lot of the northern Ireland Protocol the uk essentially wants to consign to the dustbin. So its a big ask. Lord frost says we cannot go on as we are. Lets have a listen to what he said and some of the positive turns he tried to apply to what he Suggested. Its positive turns he tried to apply to what he Suggested. Positive turns he tried to apply to what he Suggested. Its now time to work and establish what he Suggested. Its now time to work and establish a what he Suggested. Its now time to work and establish a new what he Suggested. Its now time to work and establish a new balance i work and establish a new balance which work and establish a new balance which both the uk and the eu can invest which both the uk and the eu can invest in which both the uk and the eu can invest in to which both the uk and the eu can invest in to provide a platform for peace invest in to provide a platform for peace and invest in to provide a platform for Peace And Prosperity in Northern Ireland Peace And Prosperity in Northern Ireland and to allow us to set out on a ireland and to allow us to set out on a new ireland and to allow us to set out on a new path of partnership with the elk on a new path of partnership with the eu. So on a new path of partnership with the eu. , on a new path of partnership with the eu. Y. ,. , on a new path of partnership with the eu. ,. ,. , , the eu. So they want a partnership and they realise the eu. So they want a partnership and they realise they the eu. So they want a partnership and they realise they need the eu. So they want a partnership and they realise they need to the eu. So they want a partnership and they realise they need to have | the eu. So they want a partnership. And they realise they need to have a good relatIonship with their next neighbours. The problems in Northern Ireland are colouring the whole of the rest of the relatIonship and thatis the rest of the relatIonship and that is a problem. Now there are these great perIods in which certain cheques have not been taking place. Some of those grace Iods-end'>PerIods End at The End of september so if People think the number of checks at the moment about they will be extended quite dramatically at The End of september. So again Lord Frost has said we should put a standstill in place, essentially extend those Iod'>Grace PerIods until we can come up with a new solutIon. But again the eu say this is what you have signed up to. All the details are in this agreement. So there is a fundamental difference of opinIon between the uk saying it doesnt work and the eu saying it doesnt work and the eu saying we are prepared to be more flexible but you need to live up to the detail in the agreement. Bind the detail in the agreement. And dubhn . The detail in the agreement. And dublin . The the detail in the agreement. And dublin . The problem the detail in the agreement. And dublin .

The problem in ireland if you look at the island of ireland. You look at the island of ireland is that if you you look at the island of ireland is that if you have a border between the uk and the eu Single Market you need to have cheques somewhere. If you are need to have cheques somewhere. If you are determined not to have a Land Border because of the historical issues with the Northern Ireland peace process, one solutIon was to Ireland Peace process, one solutIon was to say Ireland Peace process, one solutIon was to say theres going to have to be a certain number of cheques down the irish be a certain number of cheques down the Irish Sea be a certain number of cheques down the Irish Sea between great britain and Northern Ireland. The government says it and Northern Ireland. The government says it is and Northern Ireland. The government says it is the and Northern Ireland. The government says it is the that any more. The only says it is the that any more. The only other says it is the that any more. The only other places between the whole island only other places between the whole island of ireland and the rest of the Elk Island of ireland and the rest of the eu. The irish government is clearly the eu. The irish government is clearly going to reject that and stand clearly going to reject that and stand very strongly again that because stand very strongly again that because that puts them one step removed because that puts them one step removed from the eu Single Market which they are determined to remain part of which they are determined to remain part of so which they are determined to remain part of. So you have this triangular Problem Part of. So you have this Triangular Problem with no obvIous solutIon because the two sides want different outcomes because the two sides want different outcomes. And because the two sides want different outcomes. � , because the two sides want different outcomes. �. ,. ,. Outcomes. And then we have article 16. Article 16, outcomes. And then we have article 16. Article 16, part outcomes. And then we have article 16. Article 16, part of outcomes. And then we have article 16. Article 16, part of the outcomes. And then we have article 16. Article 16, part of the protocol. 16. Article 16, part of the protocol says if there 16. Article 16, part of the protocol says if there are 16. Article 16, part of the protocol says if there are extreme 16. Article 16, part of the protocol. Says if there are extreme economic and social circumstances either side can unilaterally override the protocol. It is limited in how you can do that. You cantjust ignore the whole thing. The government has said today, we think the circumstances for us to use article 16 do exist but were not going to do it at moment. But the implied threat is still there. We heard a bit of a Velvet Glove from David Frost in the clip but there is a Steel Fist underneath it which is, if you dont negotiate with us properly and you are not prepared to change this we do think we are justified in triggering article 16. That bill would create a crisis and would almost certainly precipitate legal actIon from the eu and it could spill out into an effect on the wider Ionship'>Trading RelatIonship between the uk and the whole of the eu. We have been talking about Northern Ireland ever since the result of the referendum came through. It was made very clear very early on it was going to be one of the most difficult issues to resolve and what is clear again today is that it has not yet been resolved satisfactorily from anyone plasma country. Anyones point of view. The Police Watchdog has criticised the Governments Coronavirus regulatIons as confusing for Police Officers and the public often leaving it unclear as to what was guidance and what was law. Sir thomas windsor� s report also includes a warning on the risk of corruptIon within the police service, as forces try to recruit an additIonal 50,000 officers over ten years. Andy george is the president of the natIonal black police associatIon. So your response to this report . I think there is a lot there that we agree with. The last 12 months for policing has been difficult. We have been put in a situatIon where the gap between our ethnic minorities communities and the police has been amplified due to covid legislatIon and our disproportIonate. It reinforces again the lack of Trust And Confidence which our black communities and ethnic minorities have in policing and its something we need to work hard to build and change as we move forward. What we need to work hard to build and change as we move forward. What are our change as we move forward. What are your thoughts . Change as we move forward. What are your thoughts . ObvIously change as we move forward. What are your thoughts . ObvIously as your thoughts . ObvIously as president of the associatIon, jUst Detail for us where we are .

There is progress but its not detail for us where we are . There is progress but its not as detail for us where we are . There is progress but its not as impassive i progress but its not as impassive as we would like. Last year after the black Matter-movement'>Lives Matter Movement started after the movement of George Floyd A Promise was given to the police and the communities. That still has to come forward. We are getting frustrated with that not coming through. For me, definitely more work to be done. But we are willing to help police in the stand there were diverse communities and help build Trust And Confidence within them. Stop and search is Something Else which has been talked about in the report and there is a big lack of understanding about how detrimental that is for police relatIonships with the community. Why is there a lack of understanding . Are they not listening to Police Officers like yourselves . Its listening to Police Officers like yourselves . Listening to Police Officers like yourselves . Its difficult. In the last 12 months yourselves . Its difficult. In the last 12 Months Policing has i yourselves . Its difficult. In the | last 12 Months Policing has been engaging more with our associatIon. 7. 4 of offices in england and from black and asian minorities but as you move up through the ranks to get a Superintendent Level and its 4 and chief of the level its at less than 1 . So with that different perspective our members have is not always the when actIons are being put forward. Again we need to be Part And Parcel of how they deliver this. The last 20 years has shown us for one thing thats been missing in all of our actIons on what we want to do to change things has been sitting in the Driving Seat and helping deliver a lot of these things that can make a lot of these things that can make a big difference. A lot of these things that can make a big difference. They have been so many conversatIons a big difference. They have been so many conversatIons around a big difference. They have been so | many conversatIons around Race And Youve mentIoned a lot of keywords they like Ion-and-work'>InclusIon And Work to be done and things need to be delivered. How . The done and things need to be delivered. How . Done and things need to be delivered. How . , . , delivered. How . The last 12 months with covid has delivered. How . The last 12 months with covid has shown delivered. How . The last 12 months with covid has shown that delivered. How . The last 12 months i with covid has shown that when there is a strong desire and a need for the police to respond we can do it. The biggest step thats been missing is that strong leadership. Martin do has been very vocal and positive but for me its about making sure that strong leadership is followed up. The biggest thing i think is missing is we often deliver natIonal strategies but foreign but 43 individual leaders, its difficult to get them all to understand the issues. And to make sure it is rolled out consistently. We need to make sure there is accountability in every part of the system. At a local Force Level it needs to Come In the strategic chief Officer Level and in those middle manager and chief Inspector Level and there needs to be some sort of leadership because i think the Race Debate has been there for so long and there are lessons to be learned in Northern Ireland around how you can actually build stronger community relatIonships. When we listen to the Community And Respond rather than deny the communitys experiences. Some cities in Central China have been deluged with a Years Worth of rain in just three days. The worst flooding has been in the city Of Zhengzhou where at least twelve People have been killed mostly on the Subway System where water poured in half submerging platforms and trains. Stephen mcdonell reports. In this province streets have become surging Brown Rivers, Swallowing Traffic. Emergency teams have had to swim Life Jackets out of those stranded. Chinas leader has described the situatIon dreamily severe. A Years Worth of rain has fallen in the regIon within days. After the military warned the dam could collapse at any time soldiers were mobilised to blast around it in an attempt to divert rising floodwaters. Rescuers have also rushed to save children and in some cases floating them out of harms way. This is a rainy time of year in china and floods are an annual occurrence but its the record breaking nature of this rainfall which has People worried. And these extreme weather events seem to be happening much more frequently, leading to a lot of discussIon about Climate Change and the need to do something about it urgently. In the meantime, the Peoplejust urgently. In the meantime, the People just have to get through the next few days because of the Rain Hasnt stopped and the Weather Forecast is saying there is more to come. The public are being put at risk by Beauty Treatements such as Botox Style injectIons and fillers, according to Mp5 Whove carried out a year long inquiry into the beauty sector. They say demand for treatments that dont require surgery has exploded in recent years and yet theres a complete absence of regulatIon. One mp said the sector is like the wild west. Anna collinson reports. Five weeks on and i now get electric shocks and pain in the sides of my face when i try to brush my teeth. You cant see because i am wearing this but there is hideous lumps. This is fIona, before and after having a non surgical Face Lift using threads. She regrets using Social Media to find a practitIoner. I should have researched this person before i went because if i had done that, i would not have done it. A group of mps have spent a year listening to stories like this and concluded the Uk Government has failed to keep up with demand and the Nonsurgical Industry has been left to regulate itself. Its literally the wild west. We have People who are selling Training Courses that are not worth the paper theyre written on and practitIoners who are destroying the reputatIon of the industry by practising completely unqualified in the field. We have dreadfully affected victims, especially in the face, who are scarred for life. The lack of experience and Ions-someone'>QualificatIons Someone needs to carry out complicated nonsurgical Beauty Treatments was exposed in a recent Bbc Three documentary. A nurse went undercover on a short Course Teaching students how to do nonsurgical Face Lifts using threads and experts say they were horrified by the footage which showed patients in pain, Burst Blood vessels and poor hygiene practices. In a Statement Boss babes said. The Enquiry Today has Suggested that urgent recommendatIons to improve Patient Safety including monetary training for all practitIoners, psychological screening for all patients, and for Social Media platforms to be more responsible. The government will review the report but for many within the sector who have been calling for improvements for years, tighter regulatIons cannot come soon enough. Anna collinson, Bbc News. The hubble Space Telescope is back in business, and has delivered its First images since it suddenly stopped last month. It was out of operatIon since mid june following a computer anomaly. But since coming back online this week its already captured images of two unusual galaxies. Now its time for a look at the weather with ben rich. If the heat is getting too much for you, well, there are some changes on the way. But only slow changes. On the Satellite Picture you can see this curl of cloud. This is an area of low pressure that will be with us in time for the weekend. But in the shorter term its going to move quite slowly and the low is going to bump into this area of high pressure and what that will do is provide more of an easterly wind, which will push the hottest weather towards the western side of the uk. That is where we still have extreme heat warnings, Amber Warnings, from the met office. Across the South West of england, parts of wales, the South West midlands and also Northern Ireland. Heat that could cause problems for health and infrastructure. Lots of sunshine to go with it through the afternoon. A bit of Extra Cloud for some northern and eastern coasts of scotland. And a few isolated thunderstorms popping up. The highest temperatures likely to be across the South West midlands, South East wales and into the west country. Highs of around 31 degrees. We will see scattered showers and thunderstorms rumbling on into the evening. Most places will be dry. And its another one of those nights where you will head off to bed with temperatures still up in the 20s in most places. It will be very uncomfortable for sleeping. Temperatures wont fall much further through the rest of the night either. Some more of this low cloud will Come In across Northern Eastern Scotland and parts of Eastern England as well. Much of that will retreat back towards the coast as we go through the day tomorrow. For many spots, its another fine day. One or two thunderstorms popping up once again, especially across western areas i suspect. That is also where we will have the highest temperatures because of this easterly wind will be pushing the hot air a little further west. So Northern Ireland for example could get a 31 degrees. That would challenge the new Temperature Record that was set just last weekend. Whereas temperatures will be a little lower across eastern coastal areas. And here we will see more cloud again on friday. Low cloud with some mist and murk. Much of that retreating to the coast. A lot of sunshine again. One or two showers but notice this rain towards the South West. Temperatures will be starting to drop back in many areas by this stage. As we head into the weekend, our area of low pressure finally makes its move. Its going to bring some very heavy downpours and thunderstorms, particularly across parts of england and wales. That could cause a little bit of disruptIon. It should be mainly dry both scotland and Northern Ireland, but with lower temperatures for all of us. This is Bbc News.

The uk has demanded significant changes to Northern Irelands Post Brexit Trading Arrangements but has held back from tearing up parts of the deal. The Brexit Minister Lord frost has said that the difficulties with the northern Ireland Protocol are the main obstacle to a relatIonship with the Ion'>European UnIon and that we cannot go on as we are. The protocol requires checks on goods coming in from mainland britain. Chris page reports. Northern ireland has always been on the brexit Front Line. And this is the new frontier. There is a Trade Border at ports like belfast for goods arriving here from great britain. The inspectIons and bureaucracy are affecting a number of businesses, like this Pet Food Wholesaler in county tyrone. Theres a lot more paperwork, its taking me a lot more time. We are also finding that suppliers are limiting the amount of products for us. So it means were having to look more at suppliers in europe. Under the arrangement, known as the northern Ireland Protocol, a range of products, particularly food, need to be checked to ensure they are in line with Eu Rules. Thats because Northern Ireland has an open Land Border with an eu state, the Republic Of Ireland. The eu wants to prevent goods which dont match its standards from entering its Single Market. Big supermarkets believe there needs to be a more flexible approach, or else consumers in this part of the uk will lose out. Northern irish People, the media, everybody in Northern Ireland is going to see, very, very visibly, the impact of brexit on the protocol, because there will be gaps on the shelves. And you know, this christmas, i can tell you already, we are having to make decisIons to delist products for Northern Ireland, because it is simply not worth the risk of trying to get it through. But the protocol is about more than inspectIons, Paperwork And Business Supply Chains. The effects in Northern Ireland are practical and political, because unIonists regard the new Trade Border as being an unacceptable barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk. There have been a series of Street Protests by demonstrators, who say the protocol diminishes their british identity. In parliament this morning, the leader of unIonism argued the protocol went against the Peace Deal, which ended the conflict in Northern Ireland, because People hadnt voted for it. Any new arrangements entered into with the eu that involve i Northern Ireland must respect the principle of consent that is at the heart of the belfast agreement. And that means that any new arrangements must protect the constitutIonal integrity of the united kingdom i and Northern Irelands place within the uk. I the Northern Ireland secretary set out his proposals, saying the Protocol Wasnt working. We see an opportunity to proceed differently, to find a new path, to seek to agree with the eu, through negotiatIons, a new balance in our arrangements covering Northern Ireland, to the benefit of all. Whether the governments latest ideas go anywhere depends on the continuing talks between london and brussels. The irish government says it is willing to consider any creative solutIons, but the Protocol Cant be renegotiated. Resolving the stalemate Matters hugely for Northern Ireland, but also for future relatIons between the uk and the eu. Chris page, Bbc News, belfast. Our Correspondent Danjohnson gave us the latest from belfast. Fundamentally this is an agreement, an internatIonal treaty that the British Government negotiated and signed up to, so for it to now criticise that agreement, to point out all the practical problems with it, and to call for it essentially to be renegotiated wont go down well with some, notably the irish government and parts of the Ion'>European UnIon. This is all about protecting the standards on goods arriving here from the rest of the united kingdom, because there is no border with the Republic Of Ireland, the eu wants those checks to take place as goods cross the Irish Sea, so that it knows anything Going On into the republic, and hence into the eu, matches up to its standards. Now, an agreement on veterinary standards would balance those things up but the British Government has been reluctant to do that. Part of brexit was giving the british Government Freedom to make its own rules, but that is now having a real world impact in Northern Ireland on the sorts of goods that People will be able to buy when these checks Come Into full force in the autumn, and on the range of goods and products that may be available, particularly in some supermarkets, particularly around christmas. Let me read you a couple of the lines from the governments Proposal Document they have put together today that outlines just what sort of impact the protocol and its practical measures are having. The Uk Governments Command Paper says the protocol has not delivered on some of its core objectives, notably the explicit commitments to protect Northern Irelands place in the uk internal market, and to avoid disruptIon to everyday life. The British Government says 200 companies in great britain have stopped serving the Northern Ireland market. Things like plants and trees, that have long been sourced from great britain ,can no longer be stocked in nurseries here in Northern Ireland, because of those Eu Rules applying on goods coming over the sea. The Uk Government says supermarkets have reduced their Product Lines because of the delays, because of the prospect of even more checks, and medicines are at risk of discontinuatIon because of the hurdles to clear, to reach the small Northern Ireland market, making supply unviable. Pet owners, including those who rely on guide dogs, face the prospect of unnecessary vaccinatIon and treatment, so some real world impacts these measures are having and a desperate attempt by the Uk Government to have that reconsidered, a call for a flexible approach. But these have been intractable problems now that have been wrangled over for pretty much the five years that brexit has been Going On. Our political correspondent Iain Watson said that, for westminster, the remaining sticking points with the eu means problems may contninue for some time. To some extent, brexit is is still Unfinished Business and certainly that is the case when it comes to Northern Ireland. In order to get that deal through in 2019 of course, and to make sure there is no hard border on the island of ireland, the rather tricky business of having to have checks on goods going from great britain to Northern Ireland was conceded by the British Government, and in his bbc interview, the former aide to the prime minister Dominic Cummings said this about the northern Ireland Protocol. It was a fudge, which punted difficult questIons into the future. It is now those difficult questIons which have to be answered and resolved, so today in the house of lords, Lord Frost, the very man who negotiated the northern Ireland Protocol said that significant changes to that protocol were now needed. He was worried about, for example, chilled meats and other issues we have been hearing about, perhaps not being able to be on sale in Northern Ireland, unless there are new negotiatIons with the Ion'>European UnIon. He called for a standstill to these new checks to be introduced. The difficulty for him, though, is that, while the eu say they are willing to make some concessIons, for example on the sale of medicines, they will not rewrite the entire protocol, and this comes at a time when tensIons with brussels are particularly high over another piece of Unfinished Business, gibraltar, where they say the eus proposals for dealing with Post Brexit the status of the rock amounts to undermining uk integrity, so as you can see, brexit has a long tail. Lets get more on this with aodhan connolly, whos the director at the Northern Ireland retail consortium. Thank you forjoining us on Bbc News. Im sure you have been following this story very closely. Before we get to your thoughts on what the Uk Government is proposing, how are things working out at the moment . ~ ,. , moment . Well, things are ok actuall. Moment . Well, things are ok actually. What moment . Well, things are ok actually. What we moment . Well, things are ok actually. What we have moment . Well, things are ok actually. What we have to remember is that there has been a lot of hard work by both retailers and by our colleagues in the justice to keep trade flowing, to get used to the new checks that have Come In, to get used to the new Customs Arrangements that have Come In. However, what we are talking about in october time with those new Export Health certificates, with The End of the Iod'>Grace PerIod on chilled goods, and with other checks that would Come In on things like citrus, on things like tomatoes, that would cause delays, that would cause frictIon is, that would cause a lot of cost, and Northern Ireland consumers would have they simply cannot afford those Cost Rises. ,. ,. , have they simply cannot afford those Cost Rises. ,. ,. , Cost Rises. You said so far businesses businesses have been working very hard. Is it sustainable, though . I think we have had to invest a lot, and im notjust talking about time, im talking about money as well, to get used to these new Trading Arrangements, but really what we were promised, and really what we would like to see is an implementatIon of the protocol that is done with the least disruptIon to communities, and that is there, signed up to in the preamble of the protocol between the uk and the eu. So we have always asked for solutIons that have gone with business, not to business, and vegetable we have asked for solutIons that are agreed between the eu and uk, because without agreement, there cant be assessed to Macro Stability and that certainty the business really needs. Im sure been following this and hearing some talk of article 16. Were it to be invoked, what your thoughts be . Were it to be invoked, what your thoughts be . Article 16 is the big red button. Thoughts be . Article 16 is the big red button, the thoughts be . Article 16 is the big red button, the last thoughts be . Article 16 is the big red button, the last resort, thoughts be . Article 16 is the big red button, the last resort, as. Red button, the last resort, as such, and there are very specific criteria for invoking article 16. I have yet to see whether those criteria have been fulfilled yet, but there is a long time before we get to that. What the government has put on the table today, it is great they have listened to retailers, great they have listened to the challenges facing retailers, and any solutIon not agreed by both sides though cannot provide the Certainty And Stability that retailers and Nia Consumers need. You have to remember is whether article 16 does not get rid of the northern Ireland Protocol. Article 16 really starts negotiatIons all over again, and thatis negotiatIons all over again, and that is really concerning, because what we have heard from 2016 until now, and especially since 2019, october, when we have this protocol First mooted, as had a large amount of time where there is nosed ability and a lot of uncertainty. Business needs stability, business needs certainty, but so do consumers may need to be able to remove frictIon to keep costs down. Irate to keep costs down. We are Ust Rrettin to keep costs down. We are ust getting some i to keep costs down. We are ust getting some reactIon i to keep costs down. We are ust getting some reactIon from i to keep costs down. We are just getting some reactIon from the | to keep costs down. We are just i getting some reactIon from the eu to keep costs down. We are just getting some reactIon from the eu so let me take the viewers through some of these. From the sounds of it it sounds like you agree, particularly with this point, that is coming from sefcovic of the eu, saying we must prIoritise stability, as you said, and predictability in Northern Ireland. Also saying we are ready to seek creative solutIons within the framework of the protocol in the interest of, and finally we will not agree to a re negatIon of the protocol, and the uk ratified it, and negotiatIons must be respected. I want to go back to your particular experience. You said you want to remove frictIon. There are solutIons there. Could you just give us an example . We have heard a lot about the importance of chilled goods, chilled meats. What would work . For chilled meats. What would work . Ft . chilled meat, People were talking about the Sausage War, when wasnt a Trade War or a Sausage War at all, in fact chilled meats, the big retailers have been moving over the past five years or so that they would get more supply from Northern Ireland itself. Northern ireland is an exporter of meat, rather than an importer of meat, so it is a very small amount that would be affected. What is more important is those products of Animal Origin and composite products that would need Export Health certificates. Export health certificates need to be signed off by a vet, they need time to input the data and they could cost around £200 per time, so that is really talking about cost upon cost, which comes from that frictIon. What we could see as a solutIon is something akin to a trusted trader scheme. Basically what that means is we as retailers would show the Eu Evidence of what our goods are made of, where they are being sold and how they are being transported, and the eu then rubber stamped that, and says that we can move those, and instead of everyday having to do many, many Export Health certificates, we would have to do a self at a statIon, which would show how secure and robust our Supply Chains are, so there are solutIons out there, but, having spoken to Vice President S of crymych, and having spoken to Lord Frost on these issues, there are solutIons ahead of us. What we really need now is to see the political will on both sides to deliver them, and really it is going to take both sides to move. Lets to take both sides to move. Lets look at the to take both sides to move. Lets look at the immediate to take both sides to move. Lets look at the immediate future quickly. The deadline of course is The End of september. How critical is that date for you, or can you just see it will be continue as you are and another Iod'>Grace PerIod put in place .

But the deadline isnt the 1st of october, the deadline is in august, because the deadline is in august, because the retail industry isnt a Light Switch that you can simply turn on and off. We have to be able to source things, we have to be able to make those deals with suppliers, we have to make sure that we are able to give the People of Northern Ireland choice that they require. So really of the clock is ticking. Trier . R really of the clock is ticking. Very ruickl , really of the clock is ticking. Very quickly. Sorry. Really of the clock is ticking. Very quickly. Sorry. A really of the clock is ticking. Very quickly, sorry, a lot really of the clock is ticking. Very quickly, sorry, a lot of really of the clock is ticking.

Ti9 consequences are if actually mean, the consequences . The consequences are if we actually mean, the consequences . Ti9 consequences are if we dont get something in place by The End of august that we can start planning around it means it will be a lot more costly, we have to throw a lot more costly, we have to throw a lot more manpower, a lot more money to try and overcome or implement the new changes, and that means there will be Cost Rises because, quite simply, retail being a high volume, low profit margin industry, we cant afford it, but then Northern Ireland consumers with half the discretIonary income of british Consumers Cant afford it either. Thank you. Labour have announced that leader Sir Keir Starmer is Self Isolating after one of his children tested positive of coronavirus. Earlier today before the positive result he took part in prime ministers questIons in the House Of Commons. In a statement, his office said, keir was already doing daily tests and tested negative this morning. He will continue to take daily tests. It means that the prime minister, chancellor, Health Secretary and leader of the oppositIon are all currently in isolatIon. France will double the number of police patrolling its beaches, as part of a deal with the uk to stem the number of migrants crossing the english channel. The British Government will pay france more than £54 millIon, as a part of a new agreement between the two countries. The number of People crossing the channel so far this year, has already overtaken the total for the whole of last year, almost 8,500. Simonjones reports from dover. Their destinatIon is dover. The latest group of migrants brought to shore this morning by the Border Force, after being picked up in the channel, the worlds busiest shipping lane. The Home Secretary says the public has had enough of seeing scenes like these on an almost daily basis. She told mps that things must change. We want to create a deterrent. We cannot continue to support. What we are seeing right now, effectively People trafficking, smugglers, criminal gangs exploiting our Asylum System to bring economic migrants and People that quite frankly are circumventing our legal migratIon routes, coming into our country illegally. In the past three days, almost A Thousand migrants have reached the uk by boat. That brings the total number for this year to more than 8,400 People, surpassing the figure for the whole of 2020. But there has been a dramatic fall in migrants arriving in the back of lorries, just over 500 in the First five months of this year. And, last year, Asylum Claims in the uk fell. But britain is now giving france more than £50 millIon to try to stop the boat arrivals. That will be used to double the number of Police Officers on the beaches in northern france, and on cutting Edge Technology to monitor the coastline. If this all sounds rather familiar, back in november the British Government gave the french millIons of pounds to increase Police Patrols and surveillance, but the numbers arriving by Boat Have continued to grow, although the Home Office points out that the number of migrants prevented from making The Crossing by the french authorities has also grown too. Groups supporting migrants and refugees once they arrive in the uk say a whole new approach is needed. The reason they come here is because they have been through a lot of hardship. So they are still going to try and make The Crossing, unless you give them an optIon, before getting in the water, to claim asylum. Police stand back from the door the government says it is determined to tackle the smugglers organising illegal crossings. Seven People have been arrested this week in a series of raids as part of an operatIon dismantling an organised Crime Group, allegedly Transporting Hundreds Of Albanians to the uk illegally in lorries and vans. But on the channel, the boats are getting bigger, packed with more and more People, with the inherent dangers that brings. Simonjones, Bbc News, dover. The number of deaths from covid 19 for each Care Home in england has been published for the First time. The data shows that Care Homes in the North West had the most deaths during the First wave, while the South East was hardest hit in the second wave. Lets get more with our social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan. Just take us through the breakdown of those figures First. Of those figures First. These relate to a perIod of those figures First. These relate to a perIod of time of those figures First. These relate to a perIod of time since of those figures First. These relate to a perIod of time since the to a perIod of time since the 10th Of April of last year, 2020. This is when the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon in england asked Care Homes to register with them where a resident had died of coronavirus, or suspected coronavirus, and what this data showed is that the homes with the highest number of deaths had 44 deaths in the year, the data was collated for that as a Care Home in wigan. It shows that there War 21 Care Homes that had 30 or more residents who died of covid 19, and in almost all cases with the exceptIon of one, these were large Care Homes, these were Care Homes in which that could accommodate more than 50 residents, so the greatest link you can make between the number of deaths from this data is the size of the Care Home. Essentially, the bigger the Care Home, the larger the number of deaths. As you said at the beginning as well, if you look at the maps of where these deaths occurred in the First wave of the pandemic, it was the North West of england, care North West of finland were hardest hit. In the second wave, december, january, february, it was undoubtedly in the South East. So why have they been published now, why now . Its, why have they been published now, wh now . , , why have they been published now, wh now . , why now . A variety of reasons full stop People why now . A variety of reasons full stop People like why now . A variety of reasons full stop People like myself why now . A variety of reasons full stop People like myself have why now . A variety of reasons full stop People like myself have beenj stop People like myself have been pushing them for over a year, and secondly the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon have decided that now is the right time, in part because the data for Care Home deaths for each setting in scotland has only been published, so there was a Precedent Set there, but also, whilst the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon say they did try to be open and honest with family during the perIod, it is undoubtedly the case that some families were reporting they were told their loved one had died of covid, but then when they asked whether other People had died in the Care Home as well, they were sometimes either being fobbed off or not given the accurate informatIon, so the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon decided that this informatIon would allow those families to know exactly what was happening in their own Care Homes. Do we know why there was this reluctance you to be transparent . I think some Care Homes were slightly nervous, certainly at the beginning of the pandemic, that if they come out and explicitly say that their Care Home had had several deaths, that might lead to People panicking, People moving their relatives from one Care Home to another Care Home, and the reasons for some of these deaths werent occasIonally obvIous. So for instance, while there are in total about 39,000 People who died, residents of Care Homes, who died, it is important to know that some of these People would have died in hospitals. They may have perhaps suffered a fractured Hit Or Something like that, in the Care Home, went to hospital, then contracted covid in the hospital, died of covid in the hospital but because they were a resident of a Care Home, they are in this data as having been a resident of the Care Home who died from covid. Is a what if these Figures Home who died from covid. Is a what if these figures achieve, home who died from covid. Is a what if these figures achieve, how home who died from covid. Is a what if these figures achieve, how can i home who died from covid. Is a what if these figures achieve, how can we | if these figures achieve, how can we use them . The if these figures achieve, how can we use them . , , use them . The Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon use them . The Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon are keen commissIon are keen to point out there is no direct line between the number of deaths in the Care Home and the quality of rating, so when families are looking at whether they should put somebody into a particular Care Home, what the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon are saying is look at their inspectIon reports, look at their inspectIon reports, look at their inspectIon reports, look at broader indicators of what is Going On in the Care Home rather than simply focusing on how many deaths there were from covid because they say there is no direct relatIonship between the number of deaths in the quality of care that any particular Care Home provides. Thank you. The government has come under Attack Forfailing to announce an expected Pay Rise for Nhs Staff in england. The Health Minister Helen Whately was criticised for failing to annouce a Pay Rise by shadow Health Minister Dr Rosena Allin khan. The Shadow Minster said that Ion'>Governments ReactIon to a recommendatIon from the nhs Pay Review body had turned out to be nothing. The government has already been under fire for recommending a 1 Pay Rise, despite the incredible pressure Nhs Staff have been under because of the pandemic. Liverpool has been stripped of its World Heritage Status by unesco the uns cultural body because of concern about developments on the citys waterfront. Its only the third time a site has lost the status. Our correspondent, colin paterson, is there at the Pier Head and gave us this update. In 2004, liverpooljoined the ranks of the pyramids, the great wall of china, and the Taj Mahal as a World Heritage Site or unesco. Heritage site of unesco. A huge Tourist Boost, if you get that status. What has happened is that liverpool got this because of its links to the industrial resolutIon, because of its links to the Slave Trade and also the buildings on its waterfront, The Three Graces behind me. Thats the labour building. Thats the liver building. For a decade, unesco has been telling liverpool they are worried about developments which were going to overwhelm the area, and what has broken the camels back is the building of evertons new ground one mile away at bramley dock. That has been crucial in Todays Vote which went against liverpool. The mayor of liverpool, joanne anderson, has described the decisIon as incomprehensible and says they will be appealing. Another councillor i spoke to said they would rather have a new Football Ground in the city than World Heritage Status. But liverpool is only the third place ever to lose World Heritage Status after an Animal Sanctuary in omagh and, after dresden and now liverpool. Status after an Animal Sanctuary in oman and, after dresden and now liverpool. A part of The Cotswolds has become the focus of one of the most important excavatIons ofjurassic fossils. It contains the remains of tens of thousands of marine animals, dating back to when a tropical sea covered much of southern england. But its a race against time, as scientists there have been given just three days to excavate. Our science correspondent, rebecca morelle, joined them at the dig. A race against time to reveal our ancient past. The team from the natural History Museum has just three days to excavate this unique site. Look how long they are. Thats really cool the cotswold quarry holds a Treasure Trove of Sea Creatures that lived during the jurassic perIod. What is here is so extraordinary, the locatIon is being kept secret. Weve got another really nice specimen here. Thats actually a brittle star. Thats likely to be a new species. Its the quality of preservatIon, its the number of fossils that we are finding. But it is also the diversity. Its really unprecedented in geological sites of this age across the world. Usually on an excavatIon, you might get a handful of finds. But here is different. Scientists think there are tens of thousands of fossils lying in the mud. This place must been teeming with life, 167 millIon years ago. This area was once covered by a shallow, tropical sea. Living there were animals like starfish, sea urchins, brittle stars and sea cucumbers. Its a quite heavy old piece, isnt it . The site was discovered by local fossil Hobbyists Nerve and sally. Its a slab of life. But at First the quarry didnt look too promising. We were finding very small fragments of, like, plates of sea urchins. Just tiny, tiny fragments though. Nothing really spectacular. When we got it home and cleaned it up it was like, oh my gosh, youve got to come and see this. And theres this beautifuljurassic Sea Creature coming to life. They are amazing just, you know, as like they were alive yesterday. With so many fossils here, the challenge is working out which ones to keep. The very best are now heading to the natural History Museum. The team says its the discovery of a lifetime. Rebecca morelle, Bbc News, at a secret locatIon in The Cotswolds. Now its time for a look at the weather with ben rich. Hello. The hot weather is not letting up just yet. The Amber Warnings from the met office, extreme heat warnings, still in force across parts of South West england, the South West midlands, south wales, also Northern Ireland, with a risk to health and infrastructure. Lots of hot sunshine through the rest of today. Just one or two thunderstorms popping up. They should be a little more isolated, i think, than they were yesterday, and the highest temperatures across parts of South East wales, the South West midlands, maybe the west country, up to 31 degrees. Now, through this evening it is going to stay dry for most. Still one or two isolated thunderstorms rumbling around. Temperatures will hold up into the 20s for many. Those are the values you can expect at 11 oclock, so not particularly comfortable, if youre heading off to sleep, and then, as we head through the rest of the night, we will bring some extra low cloud in across north east scotland, north east england, much of that retreating back to the coast during tomorrow. Well see another day of largely sunny conditIons, just one or two thunderstorms popping up, and highest temperatures in the west, 30 or 31 degrees. Hello, this is Bbc News. The headlines the uk has demanded significant changes to Northern Irelands Post Brexit Trading Arrangements. But the Ion'>European CommissIon says it will not agree to renegotiating the measures. As Record Numbers of migrants cross the channel, france pledges to double Police Patrols of its beaches to try to deter The Crossings.

Some cities in Central China have been deluged with a Years Worth of rain in just three days. The worst flooding has been in the city Of Zhengzhou where at least twelve People have been killed mostly on the Subway System where water poured in half submerging platforms and trains. Stephen mcdonell reports. Images of passengers stuck inside on train carriages as the water rises around them. Hundreds of commuters were rescued. They were those who didnt make it. The system was flooded at a frightening speed. The water was flooded at a frightening speed. Fie water was at shoulder level. Flooded at a frightening speed. Ire water was at shoulder level. A child and i both nearly gave up. We were worn out. But i used my arm to hang on and that is why i am bruised. In the hardest hit city, footage of dramatic rescues one after another has spread across Social Media. Throughout this province streets have become surging Brown Rivers Swallowing Traffic in their wake. Emergency teams had symes had to swim Life Jackets out of those stranded. Chinas leader has described the situatIon is extremely severe. A Years Worth of rain has fallen in the regIon within days. After the military warned that a dam could collapse at any time, soldiers were mobilised to blast around it in an attempt to divert rising floodwaters. Rescuers have also rushed to save children and in some cases floating them out of harms way. This is a rainy time of year in china and slides are an annual occurrence but its the record breaking nature of this rainfall which has People worried. And these extreme weather events seem to be happening much more frequently leading to a lot of discussIon about Climate Change and the need to do something about it urgently. In the meantime, the People here just have to get through the next few days because the Rain Hasnt stopped and the Weather Forecasters are saying there is more to come. Lets get more on the uk demanding significant changes to Northern Irelands Post Brexit Trading Arrangements. But it has held back from tearing up parts of the deal. The Brexit Minister Lord frost has said that the difficulties with the northern Ireland Protocol are the main obstacle to a relatIonship with the Ion'>European UnIon and that we cannot go on as we are. Lets talk to our reality check correspondence, chris morris. Lets begin with what the protocol is. When the uk left the eu Northern Ireland was always going to be a problem because it has of the uks only Land Border with the eu and borders Matter because its the edge of the eus economic zone. It was agreed by both sides they didnt want that Land Border in ireland between Northern Ireland and the Republic Of Ireland to have checks imposed, hardboard as they called it, because it would bring back memories of the troubles and is part of the good Friday Agreement it was agreed it was unacceptable. So you had to have checks somewhere else in the solutIon both sides agreed to was that Northern Ireland would essentially follow many Eu Rules particularly in trading goods and that meant there are checks between great britain and Northern Ireland within the uk. The problem is, there are a multitude of checks. The government says that 20 of all the checks the eu has done at its borders have been done at the Eu Borders have been done at the Eu Borders on things like food of Animal Origin are being done in Northern Ireland which is a tiny corner of europe. So Northern Ireland which is a tiny corner of europe. 50 they have said we cant really go on like this. The trouble is, this is the deal the government signed up to. Boris johnson negotiated their son changed the deal that theresa may Plasma Government had Suggested to the stealing clearing this visIon protocol. It was pretty clear at the time and internaL Government documents said they will be lot of checks going between great britain and Northern Ireland, something Mr Johnson at the time was reluctant to accept publicly. 50 johnson at the time was reluctant to accept publicly accept publicly. So significant chances accept publicly. So significant changes so just accept publicly. So significant changes so just take us accept publicly. So significant i changes so just take us through the view from the uk. View from the uk. What the uk has said is we cannot view from the uk. What the uk has said is we cannot go view from the uk. What the uk has said is we cannot go on like said is we cannot go on like this and they want to basically rewrite parts of the northern Ireland Protocol. Firstly to remove most of the cheques between great britain and Northern Ireland and also to remove the role of the European Court ofjustice in overseeing the protocol and he also says we need a standstill arrangement. At the moment there are these Iod'>Grace PerIods for certain checks which means they dont place take place for a lot of supermarket products. That Iod'>Grace PerIod ends at The End of september. That is a bit of a key deadline coming up because they will be far more checks after that. Lord ross says he wants actIon. Lets see how he expressed it in the house of Lords Today. Its he expressed it in the house of Lords Today Lords Today. Its now the time to work to establish Lords Today. Its now the time to work to establish new Lords Today. Its now the time to. Work to establish new balance which both the work to establish new balance which both the uk and the eu can invest in and can both the uk and the eu can invest in and can provide a platform for Peace And Prosperity in Northern Ireland and prosperity in Northern Ireland and to and prosperity in Northern Ireland and to allow us to set out on a new path of and to allow us to set out on a new path of partnership with the eu. He is path of partnership with the eu. He is talking about partnership but its very clear that at the moment Northern Ireland is the biggest issue, meaning that the Post Brexit relatIonship is very bumpy. What issue, meaning that the postbrexit relatIonship is very bumpy. What are what are relatIonship is very bumpy. What are what are the relatIonship is very bumpy. What are what are the eu think .

The Eu Negotiator on these issues saying we will not countenance any renegotiatIon with the protocol. Their argument is its an internatIonal treaty and took years to negotiate and you have onlyjust signed it. You need to implement it. A similar view coming as you would expect from the irish government in dublin which has particular concerns about this because of its relatIonship with Northern Ireland and the government in london. They do say theyre going to be more flexible and that is the problem. Both sides are saying were going to be flexible and do our best to this in good faith but the British Government has come to the conclusIon that under the current circumstances it is not possible to be flexible enough. The Ion'>Eu PositIon is tough, you have signed it and we need to make it work. Is tough, you have signed it and we need to make it work. When we said the have need to make it work. When we said they have rrot need to make it work. When we said they have not gone need to make it work. When we said they have not gone as need to make it work. When we said they have not gone as far need to make it work. When we said they have not gone as far as need to make it work. When we said they have not gone as far as tearing | they have not gone as far as tearing it up, are we referring to article 16 . �. ~ it up, are we referring to article 16 . ~. ~. , it up, are we referring to article 16 . �. ~. ,. , it up, are we referring to article 16 . Article 16 means that ince under certain conditIons 16 . Article 16 means that ince under certain conditIons either 16 . Article 16 means that ince under certain conditIons either side 16 . Article 16 means that ince under certain conditIons either side can certain conditIons either side can unilaterally ignore parts of the protocol. Its quite tightly focused. You cant say we are going to ignore the whole thing. What the government has said today as we believe the conditIons for invoking article 16 have been met. We are not going to do it at the moment but the applicatIon is if we dont get a solutIon in the next few months then come september when the Iod'>Grace PerIods are due to expire then that is a possibility. If that were to happen, the eu uncertain would take legal actIon against that and they could be ramificatIons for the broader Trade Agreement between the uk and the eu. So there are plenty of difficulties coming up. We thought perhaps after five years after the referendum we would be talking less about the implicatIons of brexit in Northern Ireland but we are going to be to get at talking about it probably feels to come. A Neo Nazi has beenjailed for seven years. The 2a from bath. This case is part of a special programme Bbc News investigatIon in 2018 foot broke the story to light. Last month an old baileyjury convicted him of 12 terror offences and three Hate I2 Terror offences and three hate crimes. Thejudge said he had been driven by extremist an Extremist Mindset and promoted a wicked cause. He said he was a wholly misguided person who are chosen to take the path of total Hatred And Bigotry and its clear you were a leader and not a follower. The judge also said the offender had been tackled calculating unsophisticated and had incited vIolence against others and described him as an active and committed proponent of Neo Nazi extremism. He described him as dangerous and being a significant risk of serIous harm to the public. So he has beenjailed for seven years. I am sure we will get more on the story and the sentencing later. With lockdown restrictIons in england lifted, hospital leaders are worried about the rising number of covid patients being admitted many of whom are unvaccinated. The latest official figures show that 88 per cent of the adult populatIon have had theirFirst dose, and 68 per cent are now fully vaccinated. Doctors treating patients in hospital say many are younger than during the last wave. Our Health Editor Hugh pym has been to Kings College Hospital in london theres been no summer let up and now another covid surge is developing. Kings College Hospital in london, like many others, is treating more covid patients, and they are younger. One of them is henry, who is 28. He became ill a few days before he was due to have a First vaccine dose. I felt like i was dying. You feel your head is full of glass. Youve got a horrendous headache. Youi eyes are sore. So every time you are breathing in, you are expecting to be able to breathe in so much more. You just cant, and theres nothing there to get back to it. So before the ambulance arrived it was terrifying because you didnt know when your last breath was going to be. In this covid ward there is a range of different ages. 80 of the patients here have not had a First dose of the vaccine. Of the rest, some have immune conditIons which might make the vaccines less effective. Doctors here say the pressure is different this time round. In general the patients are younger and tend not to be as sick as they did in the First two waves. So on average the number of days they are staying in hospital is fewer. Also there are fewer patients needing admissIon to the intensive care unit. But for staff who have worked through the pandemic, another surge is the last thing they wanted. Generally People feel exhausted. People feel tired and itjust comes back to this fear of the unknown. You know, we didnt know at the beginning how things were going to pan out. People are absolutely exhausted. The covid pressure adds to the intensity of the workload across the hospital. There have been some hectic days in A E with large numbers of patients and a range of conditIons. And covid numbers, though relatively low, are expected to rise further in the weeks ahead. If im being honest, i think People are very worried about it in the nhs because weve been through waves one and two. And we are seeing a slow start to what we feel is wave three. And our real concern is that People are going to be mixing more, theres going to be an increase in contacts. Theres going to be a decrease in numbers of staff, either they have contracted covid or they have been in contact with somebody and are having to self isolate. So what im really worried about is whats coming. Even if many covid patients are not as sick as in prevIous waves, they still need beds and that could well mean more cancellatIons of nonurgent operatIons. Henry, meanwhile, has this advice for others in their 205. Get the vaccine. Honestly, get the vaccine. I put it off for no real reason other than probably laziness. I thought if i got it id just have a cough. I saw my housemates around me get it as well and they are all pretty much brushing it off. And just to think if i had got the vaccine i probably wouldnt be in this mess. So yeah, get the vaccine that report by Hugh Pym on the situatIon now at Kings College Hospital the hubble Space Telescope is back in business, and has delivered its First images since it suddenly stopped last month. It was out of operatIon since mid june following a computer anomaly. But since coming back online this week its already captured images of two unusual galaxies. Now its time for a look at the weather with ben rich. If the heat is getting too much for you, well, there are some changes on the way. But only slow changes. On the Satellite Picture you can see this curl of cloud. This is an area of low pressure that will be with us in time for the weekend. But in the shorter term its going to move quite slowly and the low is going to bump into this area of high pressure and what that will do is provide more of an easterly wind, which will push the hottest weather towards the western side of the uk. That is where we still have extreme heat warnings, Amber Warnings, from the met office. Across the South West of england, parts of wales, the South West midlands and also Northern Ireland. Heat that could cause problems for health and infrastructure. Lots of sunshine to go with it through the afternoon. A bit of Extra Cloud for some northern and eastern coasts of scotland. And a few isolated thunderstorms popping up. The highest temperatures likely to be across the South West midlands, South East wales and into the west country. Highs of around 31 degrees. We will see scattered showers and thunderstorms rumbling on into the evening. Most places will be dry. And its another one of those nights where you will head off to bed with temperatures still up in the 205 in most places. It will be very uncomfortable for sleeping. Temperatures wont fall much further through the rest of the night either. Some more of this low cloud will Come In across Northern Eastern Scotland and parts of Eastern England as well. Much of that will retreat back towards the coast as we go through the day tomorrow. For many spots, its another fine day. One or two thunderstorms popping up once again, especially across western areas i suspect. That is also where we will have the highest temperatures because of this easterly wind will be pushing the hot air a little further west. So Northern Ireland for example could get a 31 degrees. That would challenge the new Temperature Record that was set just last weekend. Whereas temperatures will be a little lower across eastern coastal areas. And here we will see more cloud again on friday. Low cloud with some mist and murk. Much of that retreating to the coast. A lot of sunshine again. One or two showers but notice this rain towards the South West. Temperatures will be starting to drop back in many areas by this stage. As we head into the weekend, our area of low pressure finally makes its move. Its going to bring some very heavy downpours and thunderstorms, particularly across parts of england and wales. That could cause a little bit of disruptIon. It should be mainly dry both scotland and Northern Ireland, but with lower temperatures for all of us. This is Bbc News.

The Brexit Minister Lord frost has said that the difficulties with the northern Ireland Protocol are the main obstacle to a relatIonship with the Ion'>European UnIon and that we cannot go on as we are. The protocol requires checks on goods coming in from mainland britain. But in the last hour, Ion'>European CommissIon Vice President maros sefcovic said the bloc will not agree to a renegotiatIon of the protocol. Chris page reports. Northern ireland has always been on the brexit Front Line. And this is the new frontier. There is a Trade Border at ports like belfast for goods arriving here from great britain. The inspectIons and bureaucracy are affecting a number of businesses, like this Pet Food Wholesaler in county tyrone. Theres a lot more paperwork, its taking me a lot more time. We are also finding that suppliers are limiting the amount of products for us. So it means were having to look more at suppliers in europe. Under the arrangement, known as the northern Ireland Protocol, a range of products, particularly food, need to be checked to ensure they are in line with Eu Rules. Thats because Northern Ireland has an open Land Border with an eu state, the Republic Of Ireland. The eu wants to prevent goods which dont match its standards from entering its Single Market. Big supermarkets believe there needs to be a more flexible approach, or else consumers in this part of the uk will lose out. Northern irish People, the media, everybody in Northern Ireland is going to see, very, very visibly, the impact of brexit on the protocol, because there will be gaps on the shelves. And you know, this christmas, i can tell you already, we are having to make decisIons to delist products for Northern Ireland, because it is simply not worth the risk of trying to get it through. But the protocol is about more than inspectIons, Paperwork And Business Supply Chains. The effects in Northern Ireland are practical and political, because unIonists regard the new Trade Border as being an unacceptable barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk. There have been a series of Street Protests by demonstrators, who say the protocol diminishes their british identity. In parliament this morning, the leader of unIonism argued the protocol went against the Peace Deal, which ended the conflict in Northern Ireland, because People hadnt voted for it. Any new arrangements entered into with the eu that involve i Northern Ireland must respect the principle of consent that is at the heart of the belfast agreement. And that means that any new arrangements must protect the constitutIonal integrity of the united kingdom and Northern Irelands place within the uk. The Northern Ireland secretary set out his proposals, saying the Protocol Wasnt working. We see an opportunity to proceed differently, to find a new path, to seek to agree with the eu, through negotiatIons, a new balance in our arrangements covering Northern Ireland, to the benefit of all. Whether the governments latest ideas go anywhere depends on the continuing talks between london and brussels. The irish government says it is willing to consider any creative solutIons, but the Protocol Cant be renegotiated. Resolving the stalemate Matters hugely for Northern Ireland, but also for future relatIons between the uk and the eu. Chris page, Bbc News, belfast. Our Europe Correspondent Nick beake is in brussels. So what has the reactIon been like from where you are . We so what has the reactIon been like from where you are . So what has the reactIon been like from where you are . We have had this ruite from where you are . We have had this quite detailed from where you are . We have had this quite detailed statement from where you are . We have had this quite detailed statement from from where you are . We have had this quite detailed statement from the quite detailed statement from the Ion'>European CommissIon, but the key part we take from it is the line that says we will not renegotiate this agreement, and, in simple times terms, People here in britain are saying in brussels are saying this is something british Government Borisjohnson signed up to, he knew what he was getting up to, it is an internatIonal obligatIon and now the united kingdom has to stick by it. So the Vice President of the commissIon has issued this statement, saying we will seek these creative solutIons, trying to ease some of the problems at the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic Of Ireland. But he said respecting an internatIonal treaty is paramount. They will be created but they civilly cannot go back into talks once again. In the coming we may or may not get more reactIon but in simple terms the idea of the European Court ofjustice, which, like it or not for some People who are really keen on brexit, it remains a part of the way things are overseen in Northern Ireland. No one on the Eu Side will be willing to serIously contemplate that, not in public, so there has been quite a quick reactIon from the eu, no, we are not going to talk about this again. 50 are not going to talk about this aain. , are not going to talk about this aaain. ,. , it are not going to talk about this aain,. ,. , it is again. So what happens next . It is hard to tell again. So what happens next . It is hard to tell because again. So what happens next . It is hard to tell because brussels again. So what happens next . It is. Hard to tell because brussels during august is known for being very, very sleepy, so last year when we were in the transitIon perIod, the slightly weird time after the Brexit Staff had been done, it was very busy, but i think this time there wont be huge amounts of talks behind the scenes. So we lurched until september and that is when this Iod'>Grace PerIod, basically the delay in some cheques coming in on the border, more cheques coming in, we had towards there. So i think this is something the uk has set out today. They have sent quite a strong message. Behind the scenes there may be some talks but it seems to me we might be heading towards another sort of D Nouement in september, possibly more of a stand off then, but in the coming weeks and months, hard to see how the two sides in very different positIons can meet in the middle on this because of course we saw over the course of months and years how far away they were on some really key issues, which again are being talked about today. Really key issues, which again are being talked about today. Im joined by fine gael� s spokesperson on european affairs, neale richmond. Thank you forjoining us.

It is simplistic and an attempt by the british simplistic and an attempt by the British Government to absolutely shirk their responsibilities and try and reopen a treaty that has been agreed and reopen a treaty that has been agreed it and reopen a treaty that has been agreed. It is extremely frustrating, the contents, the proposals are absolutely ludicrous, as your prevIous absolutely ludicrous, as your prevIous nick was saying, it has gone prevIous nick was saying, it has gone down prevIous nick was saying, it has gone down very badly across the eu, notjust gone down very badly across the eu, notjust dublin but brussels, it is a really notjust dublin but brussels, it is a really disappointing pivot from the British Government.

Labour have announced that leader Sir Keir Starmer is Self Isolating after one of his children tested positive of coronavirus. Earlier today before the positive result he took part in prime ministers questIons in the House Of Commons. In a statement his office said keir was already doing daily tests and tested negative this morning. He will continue to take daily tests. It means that the prime minister, chancellor, Health Secretary and leader of the oppositIon are all currently in isolatIon. France will double the number of police patrolling its beaches, as part of a deal with the uk to stem the number of migrants crossing the english channel. The British Government will pay france more than £54 millIon, as part of a new agreement between the two countries. The number of People crossing the channel so far this year has already overtaken the total for the whole of last year, almost 8,500. Our political correspondent Helen Catt is in westminster this afternoon. There has been some reactIon to the figure that has been announced, in terms of what has been paid to france. Just take us through that. As you said, this is £54. 2 millIon that the uk has agreed to give to france to try and tackle this issue of People getting into small boats, dinghies, often not very seaworthy, and then trying to cross the channel to get to the uk. Of course the channel one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, it is incredibly dangerous to make The Crossing. It has been efforts over the years to try and stop this. This latest amount of money, not the First that the uk has sent to france. Last year it agreed a similar deal, worth £282 it agreed a similar deal, worth £28. 2 millIon, and of course since then we have seen the numbers increase. So the conservative mp tim loughton is one of those who was asking questIons about this earlier at the home affairs select committee, asking that if giving this money to the french authorities was a case of throwing good money after bad. The Home Secretary said no, france was intercepting more boats than last year and it was a shared problem. So she has defended sending that money but as i said, there is a problem that successive governments have not managed to crack over a number of years. If you think back to christmas 2018, the then Home Secretary Sajid Javid declared these crossings a major incident. Before that, there were issues with People hiding and stowing away in lorries to cross the channel, which has now significantly dropped and now were looking at the small boat crossing instead. There is also the Home Secretary suggesting there has been a complete shift in the way this is happening, that it used to be focused mainly on calais and the areas around calais, the shortest point if you want to cross the channel. She is now saying it is a wide disperse of lunches all along the entire french coastline. Thank you. Excuse me. The headlines on Bbc News. The uk has demanded significant changes to Northern Irelands Post Brexit Trading Arrangements. But the Ion'>European CommissIon says it will not agree to renegotiating the measures. As Record Numbers of migrants cross the channel, france pledges to double Police Patrols of its beaches, in a bid to deter The Crossings. New data for england shows that Care Homes in the North West had the most coronavirus deaths in the First wave of the pandemic, while while the South East was hardest hit in the second wave. A politics student, who formed two banned right wing groups, has been sentenced to seven years in prison. Andrew dymock, who is 2a, and from bath, was found guilty of 12 terrorism charges last month. Our correspondent, daniel de simone is at the old bailey in central london. Just give us the background First after the case. 50 just give us the background First after the case.

We think he is the only person has actually founded two band groups himself, and he did it while he was a student. He was from bath, the son of two academics, but he was at university in wales, and he created these groups online, Neo Nazi groups, basically encouraging destructIon of society, advocating racial war, destructIon of society, advocating racialwar, promoting destructIon of society, advocating racial war, promoting hatred against ethnic minorities, gay People, jewish People, and he was doing this all from his bedroom, both at home and at university. find all from his bedroom, both at home and at university.

The judge who oversaw the trial, which lasted a few weeks early in the year, told dymock he had had all of the advantages in life, he had come from this academic home, a good educatIon, but he had rejected it all in order to take on a distorted and perverted worldview, he had taken up the cause of racial hatred, encouraging vIolence against others, and that he was dangerous, and that there is a significant risk of Iolence-and-harm'>VIolence And Harm even after he is released in seven years. So the judge rejected his explanatIons. Dymock had denied everything and blamed other People, blamed Neo Nazis, Police Officers and shadowy forces who could manipulate financial records and other things. The judge financial records and other things. Thejudge said it financial records and other things. The judge said it was highly disturbing to listen to him like this and that he had not remotely taken any kind of responsibility for his actIons. So he sentenced him to seven years.

The latest figures for corona buyers have been released by the Uk Government. They are up on your screen there so let me take you through them. The number of People who have tested positive is currently at 4a,104. Those are the figures reported today. The deaths reported within 28 days of a positive test is 73. 73 People have died within 28 days of a positive test. 71r7 People have been admitted to hospital. This is a figure that we are watching very closely during this current wave and the lifting of restrictIons. As far as the vaccinatIons go, a daily First dose is 39,035. Well down, many People saying it is because it is the younger generatIon and there is a slower hesitancy to take up the offer of a jab. The second dose currently stands that important second dose, that stands at 69. 1 of the total uk populatIon, so 36. 4 millIon have received their second dose. The number of deaths from covid 19 for each Care Home in england has been published for the First time. The data shows that Care Homes in the North West had the most deaths during the First wave, while the South East was hardest hit in the second wave. Our social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan told me more about the figures. What this data showed is that the homes with the highest number of deaths had 44 deaths in the year, the data was collated for that as a Care Home in wigan. It shows that there War 21 Care Homes that had 30 or more residents who died of covid i9, and in almost all cases, with the exceptIon of one, these were large Care Homes, these were Care Homes that could accommodate more than 50 residents, so the greatest link you can make between the number of deaths from this data is the size of the Care Home. Essentially, the bigger the Care Home, the larger the number of deaths. As you said at the beginning as well, if you look at the maps of where these deaths occurred in the First wave of the pandemic, it was the North West of england, Care Homes in the North West of england were hardest hit. In the second wave, december, january, february, it was undoubtedly in the South East. So why have they been published now, why now . A variety of reasons. People like myself have been pushing them for over a year, and secondly, the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon have decided that now is the right time, in part because the data for Care Home deaths for each setting in scotland has only been published, so there was a Precedent Set there, but also, whilst the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon say they did try to be open and honest with families during the perIod, it is undoubtedly the case that some families were reporting they were told their loved one had died of covid, but then when they asked whether other People had died in the Care Home as well, they were sometimes either being fobbed off, or not given the accurate informatIon, so the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon decided that this informatIon would allow those families to know exactly what was happening in their own Care Homes. Do we know why there was this reluctancy to be transparent . I think some Care Homes were slightly nervous, certainly at the beginning of the pandemic, that if they come out and explicitly say that their Care Home had had several deaths, that might lead to People panicking, People moving their relatives from one Care Home to another Care Home, and the reasons for some of these deaths werent, occasIonally, obvIous. So for instance, while there are in total about 39,000 People who died, residents of Care Homes, who died, it is important to know that some of these People would have died in hospitals. They may have perhaps suffered a fractured Hit Or Something like that, in the Care Home, went to hospital, then contracted covid in the hospital, died of covid in the hospital but because they were a resident of a Care Home, they are in this data as having been a resident of the Care Home who died from covid. What do these figures achieve, how can we use them . The Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon are keen to point out there is no direct line between the number of deaths in the Care Home and the quality of rating, so when families are looking at whether they should put somebody into a particular Care Home, what the Ion'>Care Quality CommissIon are saying is look at their inspectIon reports, look at broader indicators of what is Going On in the Care Home, rather than simply focusing on how many deaths there were from covid, because they say there is no direct relatIonship between the number of deaths and the quality of care that any particular Care Home provides. Two men and one woman have been arrested on suspicIon of attempted murder, following an incident at a Shopping Centre in West Bromwich this morning, during which two male Police Officers were attacked with knives. Both officers were treated at the scene by paramedics, before being taken to hospital for further checks. Their injuries arent thought to be serIous. The incident happened after West Midlands police had been granted a sectIon 60 order, allowing it to carry out stop and check patrols, following an increase in vIolence in the town in recent days. Liverpool has been stripped of its World Heritage Status by unesco the uns cultural body because of concern about developments on the citys waterfront. Its only the third time a site has lost the status. Our correspondent, colin paterson, is there at the Pier Head and gave us this update. In 2004, liverpooljoined the ranks of the pyramids, the great wall of china, and the Taj Mahal as a World Heritage Site of unesco. A huge Tourist Boost, if you get that status. What has happened is that liverpool got this because of its links to the industrial revolutIon, because of its links to the Slave Trade, and also the buildings on its waterfront, The Three Graces are behind me. Thats the liver building. For a decade, unesco has been telling liverpool they are worried about developments, which were going to overwhelm the area, and what has broken the camels back is the building of evertons new ground, one mile away at bramley dock. That has been crucial in Todays Vote, which went against liverpool. The mayor of liverpool, joanne anderson, has described the decisIon as incomprehensible, and says they will be appealing. Another councillor i spoke to said they would rather have a new Football Ground in the city than World Heritage Status. But liverpool is only the third place ever to lose World Heritage Status, after an Animal Sanctuary in oman and, after dresden and now liverpool. Some cities in Central China have been deluged with a Years Worth of rain in just three days. The worst flooding has been in the city Of Zhengzhou, where at least twelve People have been killed, mostly on the Subway System, where water poured in, half submerging platforms and trains. Stephen mcdonell reports. Images of passengers stuck inside underground train carriages with the water rising around them have shocked a country used to safe mass transport. Hundreds of commuters were rescued, but there were those who didnt make it when the system was flooded at a frightening speed. TranslatIon the water was at shoulder level. A child and i both nearly gave up. We were worn out. But i used my arm to hang on, and thats why im bruised. In zhenzhou, the hardest hit city, footage of dramatic rescues, one after another, has spread across Social Media. Throughout henan province, streets have become surging Brown Rivers, Swallowing Traffic in their wake. Emergency teams have at times had to swim Life Jackets out to those stranded. Chinas leader, xijinping, has described the situatIon as extremely severe. A Years Worth of rain has fallen in the regIon within days. After the military warned that the Yihetan Dam could collapse at any time, soldiers were mobilised to blast around it in an attempt to divert rising floodwaters. Rescuers have also rushed to save children, in some cases floating them out of harms way. This is a rainy time of year in china, and floods are an annual occurrence. But its the record breaking nature of this rainfall which has People worried, and these extreme weather events seem to be happening much more frequently, leading to a lot of discussIon about Climate Change and the need to do something about it, urgently. In the meantime, the People of henan just have to get through the next few days, because the Rain Hasnt stopped, and the Weather Forecasts are saying that theres more to come. Stephen mcdonell, Bbc News, beijing. A part of The Cotswolds has become the focus of one of the most important excavatIons ofjurassic fossils. It contains the remains of tens of thousands of marine animals, dating back to when a tropical sea covered much of southern england. But its a race against time, as scientists there have been given just three days to excavate. Our science correspondent, rebecca morelle, joined them at the dig. A race against time to reveal our ancient past. The team from the natural History Museum has just three days to excavate this unique site. Look how long they are. Thats really cool the cotswold quarry holds a Treasure Trove of Sea Creatures that lived during the jurassic perIod. What is here is so extraordinary, the locatIon is being kept secret. Weve got another really nice, exceptIonal specimen here. Thats actually a brittle star. Thats likely to be a new species. Its the quality of preservatIon, its the number of fossils that we are finding. But it is also the diversity. Its really unprecedented in geological sites of this age across the world. Usually on an excavatIon, you might get a handful of finds. But here is different. Scientists think there are tens of thousands of fossils lying in the mud. This place must have been teeming with life, 167 millIon years ago. This area was once covered by a shallow, tropical sea. Living there were animals like starfish, sea urchins, brittle stars and sea cucumbers. Its a quite heavy old piece, isnt it . The site was discovered by local fossil Hobbyists Nev and sally. Its a slab of life. But at First, the quarry didnt look too promising. We were finding very small fragments of, like, plates of sea urchins. Just tiny, tiny fragments, though. Nothing really spectacular. When we got it home and cleaned it up, he was like, oh my gosh, sal, youve got to come and see this. And theres this beautifuljurassic Sea Creature coming to life. They are amazing just, you know, as like they were alive yesterday. With so many fossils here, the challenge is working out which ones to keep. The very best are now heading to the natural History Museum. The team says its the discovery of a lifetime. Rebecca morelle, Bbc News, at a secret locatIon in The Cotswolds. Now its time for a look at the weather with ben rich. Hello. The hot weather is not letting up just yet. The Amber Warnings from the met office, extreme heat warnings, still in force across parts of South West england, the South West midlands, south wales, also Northern Ireland, with a risk to health and infrastructure. Lots of hot sunshine through the rest of today. Just one or two thunderstorms popping up. They should be a little more isolated, i think, than they were yesterday, and the highest temperatures across parts of South East wales, the South West midlands, maybe the west country, up to 31 degrees. Now, through this evening it is going to stay dry for most. Still one or two isolated thunderstorms rumbling around. Temperatures will hold up into the 205 for many. Those are the values you can expect at 11 oclock, so not particularly comfortable, if youre heading off to sleep, and then, as we head through the rest of the night, we will bring some extra low cloud in across north east scotland, north east england, much of that retreating back to the coast during tomorrow. Well see another day of largely sunny conditIons, just one or two thunderstorms popping up, and highest temperatures in the west, 30 or 31 degrees. Hello, this is Bbc News.

Experience, i need to reiterate how important, its notjust the starting important, its notjust the starting 15 but the guys coming off the bench starting 15 but the guys coming off the bench will have a significant impact in less than two hours time, crickets new hundred format gets underway. A brand new form of the game, designed to be faster with some of the biggest players. Each of the eight City Based Teams will be batting for 100 balls, attempting to score as many runs as possible. And it begins with Londons Oval invincibles against the Manchester Originals, in the Ion'>Womens CompetitIon. Our Reporterjo Currie gave us a flavour of what to expect. Essentially, this is a shorter versIon and a new format of the game so much targeted as a younger audience but also they are targeting it was agreed that was unacceptable. So you had to have checked somewhere else. The solutIon both sides agreed to was that Northern Ireland would essentially follow many Eu Rules particularly trading and goods. That means there are checks between great britain and Northern Ireland within the uk. The problem is there are a multitude of checks. The government says 20 of all the checks that eu has done at its borders or that have been done at the Eu Borders on things like food of Animal Origin are being done in Northern Ireland, which is honestly a tiny corner of europe. So they have said cannot go on like this. The trouble is, this is the deal the government signed up to. Borisjohnson negotiated this. They changed the deal that Theresa Mays Government had Suggested to this deal, including this versIon of the protocol. It was pretty clear at the time, in fact internaL Government documents said there will be lot of checks going between great britain and Northern Ireland, Something Mrjohnson at the time was reluctant to accept publicly. So, significant changes. Just take us through the view from the uk. What the uk has said, in Lord Frosts words, is we cannot go on like this and they want to basically rewrite parts of the northern Ireland Protocol. Firstly to remove most of the checks between great britain and Northern Ireland and also to remove the role of the European Court ofjustice in overseeing the protocol and he also says we need a standstill arrangement. At the moment there are these Iod'>Grace PerIods for certain checks which means they dont take place for a lot of supermarket products. That Iod'>Grace PerIod ends at The End of september. That is a bit of a key deadline coming up because there will be far more checks after that. Lord frost says he wants actIon. Lets see how he expressed it in the house of Lords Today. Its now the time to work to establish new balance which both the uk and the eu can invest in and can provide a platform for Peace And Prosperity in Northern Ireland and to allow us to set out on a new path of partnership with the eu. He is talking about partnership but its very clear that at the moment Northern Ireland is the biggest issue, meaning that the Post Brexit relatIonship is very bumpy. Ltrihlhhzat relatIonship is very bumpy. What does the Ionship'>Eu RelatIonship is very bumpy. What does the eu think . RelatIonship is very bumpy. What does the eu think .

Not a lot, you wont be surprised to hear. Theyl wont be surprised to hear. They came out very quickly in the Eu Negotiator saying we will not countenance any renegotiatIon of the protocol. Their argument is its an internatIonal treaty, it took years to negotiate it and you have only just signed it and you need to implement it. A similar view coming as you would expect from the irish government in dublin which has particular concerns about this because of its relatIonship both with Northern Ireland and with the government in london. But they do say theyre going to be more flexible and thats the problem. Both sides are saying we are going to be flexible and do our best to implement this in good faith. The British Government has come to the conclusIon that under the current circumstances it is not possible to be flexible enough. The Ion'>Eu PositIon is tough you have signed it and we need to make it work. Is tough you have signed it and we need to make it work. When we said the have need to make it work. When we said they have rrot need to make it work. When we said they have not gone need to make it work. When we said they have not gone as need to make it work. When we said they have not gone as far need to make it work. When we said they have not gone as far as need to make it work. When we said they have not gone as far as tearing | they have not gone as far as tearing it up, we referring to article 16 . It means that in certain circumstances either side can unilaterally ignore parts of the protocol. Its quite tightly focused, you cantjust say we are going to ignore the whole thing. What the government has said today is we believe the conditIons for invoking article 16 have been met, we could do it, but were not going to do it at the moment. But the implicatIon is, if we cant get a solutIon in the next few months then The End of september that it is a possibility. If that were to happen, the eu uncertain would take legal actIon against that and they could be ramificatIons for the broader Trade Agreement between the uk and the eu. So there are plenty of difficulties coming up. We thought perhaps after five years from the referendum may be we would be talking less about the implicatIons of brexit in Northern Ireland but i think we are going to be talking about it probably fears to come. With me now is irelands minister of state for european affairs, thomas byrne. So your thoughts on the Uk Government wanting a real look with fresh eyes of the northern Ireland Protocol.

While there protecting the irish border. While there were lots of voices in the house there were lots of voices in the house of there were lots of voices in the House Of Commons from English Constituencies who are supporting this approach, its worth noting that in this approach, its worth noting that in Northern Ireland the majority that in Northern Ireland the majority of mps in westminster supported the protocol, the majority of that supported the protocol, the majority of that adult what i want to see is flexibilities as we have seen from the eu flexibilities as we have seen from the Eu Side over the last few months but also the Eu Side over the last few months but also both governments to show to the world but also both governments to show to the world the benefits of the protocol to Northern Ireland.

They say demand for treatments that dont require surgery has exploded in recent years and yet theres a complete absence of regulatIon one mp said the sector is like the wild west. Anna collinson reports. Five weeks on and i now get electric shocks and pain in the sides of my face when i try to brush my teeth. You cant see because i am wearing this but there is hideous lumps. This is fIona, before and after having a non surgical Face Lift using threads. She regrets using Social Media to find a practitIoner. I should have researched this person before i went because if i had done that, i would not have done it. A group of mps have spent a year listening to stories like this and concluded the Uk Government has failed to keep up with demand and the Nonsurgical Industry has been left to regulate itself. Its literally the wild west. We have People who are selling Training Courses that are not worth the paper theyre written on and practitIoners who are destroying the reputatIon of the industry by practising completely unqualified in the field. We have dreadfully affected victims, especially in the face, who are scarred for life. The lack of experience and Ions-someone'>QualificatIons Someone needs to carry out complicated nonsurgical Beauty Treatments was exposed in a recent Bbc Three documentary. A nurse went undercover on a short Course Teaching students how to do nonsurgical Face Lifts using threads and experts say they were horrified by the footage which showed patients in pain, Burst Blood vessels and poor hygiene practices. In a Statement Boss babes said. The safety of their customers and the quality of their training were the highest prIorities and were concerned to learn of the bbc� s allegatIons, but claimed they did not have sufficient detail to respond more fully. The Enquiry Today has Suggested that urgent recommendatIons to improve Patient Safety including monetary training for all practitIoners, psychological screening for all patients, and for Social Media platforms to be more responsible. The government will review the report but for many within the sector who have been calling for improvements for years, tighter regulatIons cannot come soon enough. Anna collinson, Bbc News. The hubble Space Telescope is back in business, and has delivered its First images since it suddenly stopped last month. It was out of operatIon since mid june following a computer anomaly. But since coming back online this week its already captured images of two unusual galaxies. Now its time for a look at the weather with ben rich. If the heat is getting too much for you, well, there are some changes on the way. But only slow changes. On the Satellite Picture you can see this curl of cloud. This is an area of low pressure that will be with us in time for the weekend. But in the shorter term its going to move quite slowly and the low is going to bump into this area of high pressure and what that will do is provide more of an easterly wind, which will push the hottest weather towards the western side of the uk. That is where we still have extreme heat warnings, Amber Warnings, from the met office. Across the South West of england, parts of wales, the South West midlands and also Northern Ireland. Heat that could cause problems for health and infrastructure. Lots of sunshine to go with it through the afternoon. A bit of Extra Cloud for some northern and eastern coasts of scotland. And a few isolated thunderstorms popping up. The highest temperatures likely to be across the South West midlands, South East wales and into the west country. Highs of around 31 degrees. We will see scattered showers and thunderstorms rumbling on into the evening. Most places will be dry. And its another one of those nights where you will head off to bed with temperatures still up in the 205 in most places. It will be very uncomfortable for sleeping. Temperatures wont fall much further through the rest of the night either. Some more of this low cloud will Come In across Northern Eastern Scotland and parts of Eastern England as well. Much of that will retreat back towards the coast as we go through the day tomorrow. For many spots, its another fine day. One or two thunderstorms popping up once again, especially across western areas i suspect. That is also where we will have the highest temperatures because of this easterly wind will be pushing the hot air a little further west. So Northern Ireland for example could get a 31 degrees. That would challenge the new Temperature Record that was set just last weekend. Whereas temperatures will be a little lower across eastern coastal areas. And here we will see more cloud again on friday. Low cloud with some mist and murk. Much of that retreating to the coast. A lot of sunshine again. One or two showers but notice this rain towards the South West. Temperatures will be starting to drop back in many areas by this stage. As we head into the weekend, our area of low pressure finally makes its move. Its going to bring some very heavy downpours and thunderstorms, particularly across parts of england and wales. That could cause a little bit of disruptIon. It should be mainly dry both scotland and Northern Ireland, but with lower temperatures for all of us. This is Bbc News.
