Eastern india, to find out how theyve vaccinated 80 of adults, way above the national average. Im Martine Croxall in scarborough, as part of the bbc� s Coastal Britain proJect, Finding Out how seaside communities like this are responding to the challenges and opportunities as they emerge from the pingdemic restrictions. And coming up, the Mercury Music Prize nominations are out. Well bring you the details. Hello, Good afternoon, welcome to Bbc News. Retailers are calling on the Government to make Food Workers whove had both doses of a vaccine exempt from the Self Isolation rules which they say are making it increasingly difficult for some shops to keep their shelves stocked. Almost 620,000 people received a Contact Tracing Alert in the last week. The Government has said the Isolation Rules will be relaxed for only a very small number of critical workers, before wider changes in england next month. Theo leggett reports. Empty shelves in supermarkets, retailers are warning That too many staff are in isolation after being contacted by Nhs Test and trace, all pinged by the app. Now shops and their Supply Chains are under intense pressure. Ironicallt, we kept shops open during the pandemic but now weve had to close one or two shops and reduce hours in others, but That could get a lot worse a lot quicker unless the Track And Trace system is sorted out. And it isntJust supermarkets feeling the strain. The nhs and transport networks have also been affected, as have maJor manufacturers, and dozens of councils across england say theyve been forced to suspend collection of Garden Waste and recycling. Its exacerbating the issue we already have with drivers, and therefore in some councils, around 10 of Waste Services operatives are isolating and we have seen councils having to make adJustments. Petrol Retailer Bp has another problem. It cant get hold of enough drivers to deliver Fuel Supplies so some service stations have been running out. Now, Thats partly due to people having to Go into isolation, but its also part of a much bigger problem facing the entire haulage industry. At the moment, there simply arent enough drivers to Go around. Courier company speedy freight says problems for the industry have simply been mounting up. Its a problem, a serious problem, we have about 60 odd thousand drivers down. There have been delays with covid because of Driver Tests and driving tests, and to have this pingdemic with the Nhs Up On Top of it, it really is causing a bit of an issue for our industry. Some 600,000 people a week are currently being asked to isolate. The Government says its prepared to offer exemptions for some fully vaccinated key workers. A list is expected later today, but everyone else, it insists, must stay at home. Its not a universal picture. I think people can shop and were obviously reviewing the situation all the Time. But what we cant do is get into a position where were changing the rules on a daily basis. The rules about Self Isolation are clear and if you are pinged, you should self isolate. The rules are due to change significantly on the 16th of august, when Daily Testing will replace isolation for fully vaccinated workers. But businesses across the economy insist That change needs to take place much sooner or empty shelves could become a much more common sight. Theo leggett, Bbc News. The Government has released its daily coronavirus figures. A further 39,906 people have tested positive for the virus in the last 24 hour period, and 84 more people have died within 28 days of a positive coronavirus test. There were also more than 183,000 second dose vaccinations given, and 788 people were admitted to hospital with the virus in the last 24 hour period. Before i turned to professor paul hunter, Just to bring you some news coming through in regards to travel Thats come through in the last little while as Well. Were Just hearing the last moments That israel has put the uk On The Travel Read List in other words, the Red List of countries to which flights are simply not allowed. The decision has Just been made in the less why by the Government. It also named cyprus and turkey for example. The ban does not come into effect, in fact, until friday of next week. But the decision coming against a background of increasing number of covid infections, so uk is among a handful of countries That israel has added to its own Red List, so those are countries to which you simply cannot fly. We have been talking so much today and in recent days generally about pingdemic as it has become known. We know it is a very large number of people who are getting pinged by the Covid Tracing app. Lets get more on this with paul hunter, whos a professor in medicine at the university of east anglia. Very Good afternoon. Good afternoon. We keep seeing very Good afternoon. Good afternoon. We keep seeing this very Good afternoon. Good afternoon. We keep seeing this number very Good afternoon. Good afternoon. We keep seeing this number Going very Good afternoon. Good afternoon. We keep seeing this number Going up| we keep seeing this number Going up and up, in terms of the number of people getting pinging. What are your thoughts on the usefulness of it now really . fix, your thoughts on the usefulness of it now really . Your thoughts on the usefulness of it now really . A lot of the evidence is based on it now really . A lot of the evidence is based on work it now really . A lot of the evidence is based on work That it now really . A lot of the evidence is based on work That was it now really . A lot of the evidence is based on work That was done it now really . A lot of the evidence| is based on work That was done last yearin is based on work That was done last year in various modelling studies. There had been a number of papers which showed it had some value. But the value of contacts, casual contacts, the value of quarantining casual contacts is rather less than the value of quarantining after a Household Number has been infected. What is happening since then, clearly, is a lot more of us have been vaccinated, a lot of us have had double vaccine and actually a lot of us have actually had the disease itself, so we have Got a degree of protection which is equivalent to the vast most vaccines. And i think the value of quarantining after a casual contact is substantially less than it was, and even lasher it was marginal and depended on whether you were able to get full compliance. So basically at the moment i think evidence That quarantining following a pinging rather than Family Contact or click onto exactly quite low, and we are hearing some very alarming stories about the potential impact on Food Security and other business, so i think the value of continuing That at the moment is being far offset by the hum That it is doing. Thats interesting. The rules change in the middle if you get pinged after August 16 and you have had both doses of the vaccine, you do not have to isolate anyway so do you think there will be merit in the Government bring That date forward . Absolutely. It should, and it should be done very soon, because i think leaving it another few weeks, went it almost certainly is not making an important contribution to the spread of the infection, is certainly doing more harm than Good. Today, we saw quite a substantial drop in case numbers today, compared to the same day the previous week, and i think we are Going to see That again over the coming weeks. Some of That is probably because of less testing with the schools being closed, but even accounting for That, it does seem to be we are getting to the point where we are no longer seeing a rapidly rising case number. Just a thought about a rapidly rising case number. Just a thought about the latest a rapidly rising case number. Just a thought about the latest data. A rapidly rising case number. Just a thought about the latest data. I do not think we have anything yet That will tell us about how things might have shifted given the Easing Up in england because That is still quite recent, so That i suppose, i presume, very much has to be kept an eye on, once That data comes through.

Professor paul hunter, as ever, many thanks, from the university of east anglia. Health unions say they will consult their members to determine how to respond to the Governments proposed 3 Pay Rise for Nhs Staff in england and wales. Ministers say the rise is fair and recognises the efforts of Health Workers during the pandemic. But the royal college of nursing, which had called for a 12. 5 rise, said its members were angry and upset and may consider Industrial Action. Katharine Da Costa reports. What do we want . Pay rise. When do we want it . Now. A burned out workforce in the grips of a third wave. NHs Staff have come under unprecedented pressure, tackling the covid Crisis And Record waiting lists. Many, like carmen, a cardiac nurse, feel pay has already fallen Well behind and this latest offer is a bitter disappointment. The Pay Rise is important for several reasons. For me personally, what it would mean is a pay That is in line with the value of this Job, a pay That would attract new nurses into the profession and down the line what it would mean to me is to have sufficient amounts of colleagues to do myJob properly. Most Nhs Staff in england and wales have been offered a 3 Pay Rise. That would mean on average an extra £1,000 a Yearfor Nurses and more than £500 for porters and cleaners. But unions say it is still effectively a Pay Cut because of the big increase in the cost of living. Junior doctors are not included, they are on a separate Pay Deal of around 2 a year over three years. Given the fact we have spent hundreds of billions of pounds protecting Jobs through the furlough scheme, we have spent hundreds of billions of pounds through loans to businesses, we are in a difficult position as far as public finances are concerned. The 3 figure That was agreed to by the independent panel is something we think is fair. The Department Of Health had previously said only 1 was affordable, an offer criticised by Health Unions as insulting. They point to the 4 Pay Deal already agreed for most Nhs Staff in scotland. Health staff in england will look to scotland, where their counterparts received a much more generous settlement earlier this year. Not only was it more money but it was backdated as Well, so they have payments That Go back to december. The key question now is how the Government plans to fund the Pay Award. Speaking remotely to the commons, labours shadow Health Secretary asks whether existing budgets would be squeezed. Nhs trusts dont even know what their budget will be beyond september. The Health Secretary has Just said the Pay Settlement Cost 2. 2 Billion. Where is the 2. 2 Billion coming from . Or is he expecting trusts and general practice to find it from their existing budgets . The Government says the Pay Settlement will be funded from within the nhs but wont impact Front Line services. Unions will now consult members on the next steps but many will ask whether a 3 Pay Rise is enough to retain a weary workforce and attract new recruits into the nhs. Katharine Da Costa, Bbc News. We are Going to discuss all of That with the Institute For Fiscal Studies in a moment, but before i do, there was a brief reference in That piece there about police among other sectors of workers, and weve Just a statement for in the last few minutes from the Police Federation of england and wales, you see there from their website. No longer has confidence in the Home Secretary following an extraordinary National Council Meeting Today, the organisation has made a decision to withdraw it Support And Engagement from the Police Renumeration Review body. They said he the current payment is and is not fit for purpose and it is a result of the latest Pate Announcement which we heard reference to Just there, and enormous anger within policing, says the federation, and we are Going to talk to the Police Federation itself after 5 30 P M. , i am told, but in terms of public pay generally and with reference to the nhs, because That is figure in the news today, That proposal of 3 for Hs Staff in england and wales and the general pressure on public spending, lets discuss it all with ben zaranko, who is a Research Economist at the ifsc. Hello, Good afternoon. The Government says 3 is absolutely fair. I suppose the max of it is it affordable . What does your number crunching tell you . Is your number crunching tell you . Is you mentioned in the piece Just you mentioned in the pieceJust before iJoined you, the cost of todays 3 announcement is something like 2 Billion if i. I, like lots of us has spent the last year doing interviews with nhs and medical professionals who are all talking about the dreadful backlog and all the huge number of operations That we all know about That have not happened because of covid 19 and they said the only way to deal That backlog and reduce it is to essentially throw money at the problem. So That does not tally with what you have Just described. Absolutely. The Wait List Thing is now more than 5 Million people. That is expected to rise further and the secretary for health That he could rise as high as 13 million. 0ne Secretary for health That he could rise as high as 13 million. One of the key things That can be brought down is if the nhs could increase capacity and complete more operations than imagined otherwise. The key thing there is does it have the staff . Of course attracting Staff Member retaining staff and making sure they are motivated to my pay is a factor there. You could argue That 80 award, if you think Thats enough to get staff in the nhs needs to make progress on a huge backlog, so there is an argument Going both ways but it is of course the case That if you allocate more money and more funding towards pay, does That influence a number of nurses That the hospital can afford commit as influence how much money can be allocated to other priorities and other things the nhs cares about. All That taken into balance and the independent peer Review Body suggested the percent and the Government exhibited but this will be a couple of tricky years for the nhs regardless. And a quick thought about the chancellors nhs regardless. And a quick thought about the chancellors options nhs regardless. And a quick thought about the chancellors options more | about the chancellors options more broadly. Not every departmental budget is protected, Ring Fenced Cam is a presumably his options are to reduce funding to the departments he can reduce funding to or as we know Raise Taxes. The can reduce funding to or as we know Raise Taxes Raise Taxes. The chancellor is facina Raise Taxes. The chancellor is facin a Raise Taxes. The chancellor is facing a very Raise Taxes. The chancellor is facing a very tricky Raise Taxes. The chancellor is J facing a very tricky Expending Review later this autumn. So he will have to decide first of all how much he wants to spend and how That will be allocated between departments. He is committed or said he intends to achieve what is called current Budget Balance or pay for all the Governments-day'>Governments Day to Day Spending on Tax Remedies for the middle of the decade and he is currently on course to achieve That, onlyJust. If he does want to then increase funding for the nhs with a more generous public Pay Award or if he wants to allocate more money to social care or two schools for Catch Funding or make the extensions to universal credit permanent, there are so many calls for additionalfunding credit permanent, there are so many calls for additional funding at the moment. The chancellor is facing a huge amount of demand for additional spending so his options are does he try and make savings to other nonpriority areas, certainly difficult not to do with many services or does he accept a high level of borrowing That he previously suggested he would or does he look at raising taxes with about a potential increase in national insurance was of That will be one option but That would Go against the conservative Manifest Equipment not to increase the rate of any of the Big Three taxes. He really has an unpalatable set of options ahead of them and i think more spending on the nhs and top up to existing plans to nhs spending seem almost certain. Not really a question of if but the question of how much will stop very Good of you to give us your Time. To give us your Time. Thank you very much for now a Tram Crash which killed seven people in croydon in South London was an accident, an inquestJury has found. More than 50 people were inJured when the tram tipped over and spun off the tracks in november 2016. The tram was travelling three Times faster than a speed restriction. The families of those who died say Justice has not been done and want another inquest. Tom edwards reports. Seven people died in the croydon Tram Crash and theirfamilies have waited four and a half years to find out how it was allowed to happen. Jean smith lost her Son Mark That morning. He was 35. Like all of the other passengers, he was on his way to work. She has found the Inquest Process unfair. She still has many questions. Witnesses from Transport For London and the Tram Operator Tol didnt appear. I cant understand how two of the three biggest players in That room, which is tfl and tol, weve not heard one witness from their companies. No tram drivers, no controllers, and no management. So itJust feels at the moment as if they are hiding behind a blanket. These are the South Londoners who died on That day when tram 2551 overturned. The driver also didnt appear at the inquest as he was too sick. This is where it happened, leaving tunnel, the driver briefly touched the brakes but it was too late. The tram was travelling at 73 kilometres an hour on the curve, the Speed Limit was 20. The court heard it was probable he lost awareness and had a micro sleep. He became disorientated in the tunnel. This is a reconstruction shown to the inquest. Investigators found there were no Speed Limit signs in the tunnel. There are also no systems to automatically break or monitor driver fatigue, and all have now been implemented. The court also heard That Fatigue Management by the Tram Operator Wasnt thought to be a factor as the driver said he wasnt tired. But investigators found in a survey three quarters of drivers thought the companys Fatigue Management was poor, very poor. Critics say there were systemic failures. Just ten days before the crash, there was another incident on this corner where a tram nearly overturned and the Emergency Brake was used. A passenger complained but it was not properly followed up. Drivers were scared to report incidents because they thought they would be disciplined. Investigators found That on at least nine occasions, the Emergency Brake was used on this corner, management knew nothing about it. You think you will getJustice . Not in this inquest, i dont think. The families still think they havent Got the answers to all of their questions. For them, this isnt The End. That report from tom edwards. Danielle wynne is the granddaughter of philip logan, who died in the accident. She spoke to us after the inquest verdict. Its a shambles, absolute shambles right from the beginning. Before it even started, it was a shambles. Evidence hasnt been heard That shouldve been heard. That evidence That hasnt been heard couldve made this decision a total different decision than what weve Got today. This was no accident. He was Just Going to work. Im absolutely disgusted, absolutely. All this work. And still its Going on for us now. Its not The End. This is only the beginning. And we will try and overturn this decision, because i dont believe That the Jury could have ever come back with a different decision. Bearing in mind the evidence That theyve heard, the evidence That hasnt been heard is, you know, crucial. You know, drivers, the people That are part of these organisations, without That evidence, we never was Going to get a Good ruling, but right from the beginning, iJust dont believe That the coroner was experienced enough to deal with a case like this. Taking on seven deaths is no easy task. And i dont believe That she should have ever had hold of this case. I believe That this case needed to be in a High Court in london right from the beginning, and we was denied That, as weve been knighted right from the beginning. Danielle when, who lost her husband in That train crash. The number of young people in england who have been admitted to hospital with an Eating Disorder has risen by almost 50 , according to nhs figures. Waiting Times for treatment have also increased dramatically, with Community Based Services struggling to keep up with demand. Lets speak now to sophia ellis. She developed anorexia and bulimia as a teenager, and since her recovery has become a powerlifterfor Team Gb. Hello. Thank you so much for agreeing to come and talk to us.

At first it wasJust it did notJust happen overnight. At first it was Just me kind of taking out Food Groups in then i started starving myself. And it really hit home for me when i started collapsing at work and then i was admitted to hospital. And as the anorexia develops, it then developed into bulimia, so i suffered with anorexia and bulimia for about six years.

Did you Go first to your teepee or what did you do . How did you Go about Finding Treatment . First i was not aware That i had an illness. I was quite left pushing it to the side like nothing was wrong with me. It was not until i started collapsing at work and was admitted to hospital That i realised i needed help. So i contacted my gp and from there i was admitted to what was called daycare, which was like Group Sessions for Eating Disorders, and That really did not work Well for me it all because you were in a group with other people who have also suffered anorexia or bulimia and you can kind of Share Tips and youre in this mindset where its onGoing, its like a really dangerous cycle. Thats hard to break. And it was not until a couple of years after That, in my second year of university actually, That i managed to get funding and from there i was able to get onto a proJect called the freed proJect and That was kind of like a new proJect at the Time. It was for early intervention in Eating Disorders and it took a more Holistic Approach and i am Just so grateful That i was able to receive That treatment because itJust seemed like a never ending spiral for me. � ,. ,. , for me. And since That treatment, im t in for me. And since That treatment, im trying to for me. And since That treatment, im trying to see and for me. And since That treatment, im trying to see and concentrate | im trying to see and concentrate very many years a difficult Time for Un A Short Space and i know Thats very difficult but clearly your treatment has led to remarkable things and it is fantastic you are now a competitive sports woman. That is a transformation but im not minimising it, iappreciate is a transformation but im not minimising it, i appreciate Thats been a very long struggle for you. Im Just interested when you hear the Figures Today and you hear about the Figures Today and you hear about the big increase in the number of people needing help, Just like you did, because of the pandemic, i wonder what Goes through your mind. To me, its shocking and awful but it does not surprise me because even back then, six years aGo, it was so difficult to get treatment. The nearest inpatient That i could get at the Time was in glasGow. And if you could not Go there and then he had to get private care, which was really expensive, especially as a student. And i wasJust really expensive, especially as a student. And i was Just one of the lucky ones to be able to get funding. So even now its very isolating and lonely illness and then to Add Lockdown on top of That without any support around you, i can see how the numbers can increase Just drastically. And its really upsetting to hear because i mean even when i was in That care, i had friends around me who were dying from these Eating Disorders, and its very severe. So its very sad to hear about it. Its very severe. So its very sad to hear about it. It is, i hope Gosh there is so to hear about it. It is, i hope Gosh there is so much to hear about it. It is, i hope Gosh there is so much we to hear about it. It is, i hope Gosh there is so much we can to hear about it. It is, i hope Gosh there is so much we can talk to hear about it.

We still have amber extreme Heat Warnings from the met office covering Northern Ireland, parts of southern wales, the midlands and into the South West of england. Were seeing some of the highest Temperatures Today across these western areas, values into the low 30s celsius. Further east, it is quite a Lot Cooler for some of these North Sea coasts, where were keeping more and although most places are dry with sunshine, weve Got one or two scattered thunderstorms which will rumble on into the evening. 0vernight will bring more of this low cloud in across northern and eastern scotland, eastern coasts of england. These are the overnight lows by The End of the night, 17 18 degrees, so not a particularly fresh night, a bit tricky for sleeping. And then as we head into friday, still rather cloudy for some of these eastern coastal areas. Lots of sunshine elsewhere. Just the odd shower, but Cloud And Rain gathering to the far South West. The breeze strengthening. Highest temperatures in the west, 29, maybe 30 degrees, but it turns unsettled and cooler for the weekend. Hello this is Bbc News. The headlines.

Muslim model halima aden meets with fashion great Tommy Hilfiger. Sport, and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, heres gavin. Hi there, Jane. Nice to see you. Lets start with a huge blow to organisers of the rugby League World Cup in england this autumn. Australia and New Zealand have pulled out of the tournament, citing Player Welfare and Safety Concerns related to covid 19, and want it postponed till next year. Theyre the two biggest sides in the mens and womens games, and the withdrawal will also affect the wheelchair competition. The rugby Football League have hit back, calling it a selfish and cowardly decision, and Rfl President Clare balding says its devastating news. So wet i dont understand about this is why the Rugby League has decided to withdraw from the biggest tournament That has ever been staged in Rugby League. Actually, we could wait a couple of months, and if they still felt That badly, then lets look at it closer to the Time, but it seems very odd timing, and i think there is still quite a lot of work Going on to try to repair That situation and find a solution because particularly for the womens game, its devastating. Well, the former new Zealand Rugby League international Robbie Hunter Paul told us how let down he felt from a players perpsective. From a Playing Point of view, i think it is even more disappointing. Now all the information is starting to flow to the surface, saying That this decision was made without impact from the players. Youve Got to think That, actually, as stakeholders, they are pretty important to the overall value of the game. The olympics officially starts in Tokyo Tomorrow with the opening ceremony, but the Show Director Kentaro Kobayashi has been sacked, after a sketch from 1998 emerged in which he referenced the holocaust. 0rganisers are still deciding what form the ceremony will take. We do know That two Gold medallists from rio will be leading out Team Gb. Sailor hannah mills, on the left here, says shes overwhelmed to be chosen as a Flag Bearer alongside rower moe sbihi. In a break from tradition, each nation has been allowed to nominate one female and one male representative. Mills and sibihi were selected from a group of athletes put forward by their sports as exemplifying the olympic and Team Gb values. Yeah, iGot yeah, i Got super emotional. Mark anglin told me in front of the porch and other sailors, which was a really cool moments, and we had to rush out the door and Go sailing, and i went downstairs and had 30 seconds on my own, and at Just-kind'>AllJust Kind of, yeah, its bubbled up as to what it actually meant, of how Big A Deal It was. Yeah, i Got a little bit emotional. The Mens Football Tournament is under way. Brazil, Gold medallists in rio five years aGo, Got off to the perfect start with a big 4 2 win over germany in yokohama. It was a rematch of the 2016 final, which brazil won penalties. And they took the game by storm, Evertons Richarlison opening the scoring. And he was in the mood for more, too. He scored a first Half Hat Trick to put brazil 3 0 up. Germany then scored two of their own, but this brilliant Goal from paulinho put the result beyond any doubt for brazil. What a finish That was. The first round of the womens Evian Championship is drawing to a close in the South East of france. The tournament was cancelled last year because of the pandemic.

You can also watch live coverage of the game from 6pm on bbc two. Jane . Gavin, thank you very much indeed. See you later on. Having with all of the latest sports. Lets talk a little bit more about That brief piece of news That we brought you a little after 5pm, because we have heard from the Police Federation of england and wales saying it no longer has confidence in the Home Secretary over a Pay Freeze for officers. Priti patel has confirmed Police Officers earning more than £24,000 would be hit by the freeze. Those earning less will be given an annual rise of £250. Well, we can speak now toJohn apter, who is the national chair of the Police Federation for england and wales. Good evening. You have had i think an extremely Meeting Today saying what was explained, what was decided. ,. ,. , what was explained, what was decided. ,. ,. ,. , , decided. Good evening. Love, this is not ust decided. Good evening. Love, this is not Just about decided. Good evening. Love, this is notJust about police decided. Good evening. Love, this is notJust about Police Officers decided. Good evening. Love, this is notJust about Police Officers not notJust about Police Officers not getting a Pay Rise. This is about the mechanism That decides whether they do or dont. Its a lot broader. Its about all the things That are Going on, certainly during the pandemic. Like iJust explained. So the system That Police Officers have two discuss their pay is called a prb for a short, and Police Officers are not employees, they have very limited rights. They dont have very limited rights. They dont have the right to withdraw leah barrick, they cant strike. They are big restrictions placed on their lives, and because of That, successive Governments historically have recognised this and have treated them as you would expect them to be, fairly, when they cant, you know, challenge back in the way That may be normal employees waited. With this prb process, what will happen is That the independent body, they call themselves an independent body, they will take evidence from people like the Police Federation we represent, 130,000 Police Officers from across england and wales, the national Chief Counsel comes of the chief officers from across england and wales. We will all feed in evidence into That system. Now, the prb, independently, we hoped, would reveal all of That evidence and come up reveal all of That evidence and come up with the decision. However, what happens as the Home Secretary submits what is called the remit letter, and That was issued back in december last year, That Remit Letters basically says it matters not what evidence you hear, we are Going to have a Pay Freeze, so there is no Pay Award for Police Officers as Well as a number of other things. Now, generally, we have accepted, depending what states That Government-finances'>Government Finances are in for the country, what we have seen this Time as Police Officers, my colleagues, have absolutely stepped up during the pandemic. They had been vilified, abused, spatz committed been coughed at committee been hung out to dry someTimes in the media, and the Home Secretary and other politicians will stay That policing is doing a greatJob. We need more thanJust warm words. Is doing a greatJob. We need more than Just warm words. We saw the nhs getting a Pay Word and we absolutely understand That and its the right thing to do, but then it further. Local Governments have issued their staff when half percent. The fire brigade, again, when half percent. Because my colleagues had very limited rights, they have to take it on the chain, That despite all of those warm words, they get nothing, and the anger is top of all. I words, they get nothing, and the anger is top of all. Anger is top of all. I am sorry to interrupt me anger is top of all. I am sorry to interrupt me absolutely anger is top of all. I am sorry to interrupt me absolutely have i interrupt me absolutely have explained very clearly That this is broader than Just a Pay Issue and you have explained how That independent body works. In terms of pay, what the Government would say is and has said is That they have to ensure fairness between the public and private sector. Priti patel would say That she recognises the police during the pandemic, but it is private companies That have suffered, That have lostJobs, but of lost income over the course of the pandemic, and That is why we are in the situation we are in. Everybody is in a difficult place. I accept That. This has been a subJect to meant measures of austerity come in real terms, Police Officers had had a an 18 cut in their take home pay, 18 . WereJust asking had a an 18 cut in their take home pay, 18 . Were Just asking for fairness. Put ourselves out there, its incredibly demanding, difficult Job, with not much thanks. The thanks and the warm words of the Home Secretary only Go so far. My colleagues expect more than Thats the main part of That is part of the pay, special and other people in the Public Sector are being recognised. John, thank you so much forJoining us. Thank you for the from the Police Federation of england and wales. As part of a series of special reports about life in Coastal Britain, Bbc News has been looking at the challenges and opportunities in seaside towns. 0ur presenter Martine Croxall is in scarborough for us today, speaking to the community about the important we have had such a wonderful day today. I must say, ill be, we have been hosted here by the Yacht Club here at scarborough, and dave left after asked so, so Well, iJust wanted to thank them so much for all of the teas and coffees, the bottom That they have given us. So, living by the Seaside Commute think you spend a lot of Time at the beach, but not for everybody, unfortunately, it is quite difficult someTimes for low income families to make the use of the Beach Facilities That they have around then. Even though the seafront may only be a mile or two away, but high prices at some of the attractions mean That people who live here all year round often cant make the most of the attractions That tourists come here to enJoy. Well, back home, reports on this problem from scarborough. Where are we Going . The beach lets Go a trip organised by the Community Centre for those living on the Barrowcliffe Estate in scarborough. Its Just a mile from the sea, but its a side of town where the tourists dont Go. Levels of poverty here are high. Its among the 1 of most deprived areas in england. Theres kids on here That ive talked to, and theyve said That theyd never been to the beach before and theyre, like, 14 year olds or whatever and theyve lived here all their lives. To see their faces light up, to see them running around On The Beach, Just having fun and not a care in the world, when some of these families, some of these children may have issues at home. So its getting them out of That sort of rut and giving them something else to focus on. Veronica is a single working mum. Despite it being on her doorstep, bringing her six children to the beach can get expensive. Were trying to stay away from the things That. Obviously, the children want ice creams, they want this, That and the other, and its not a case of being tight its a case of it costs a lot. Its aimed at tourists. Its like the first ever Time weve. He found a crab, Jellyfish, and i found this tiny fish. Its been a couple years since weve been back here. And its been fun and ive enJoyed myself. I for the children living in barrowcliffe, most of their Time is spent on the estate. Its quite rough and theres a lot of drugs and alcohol. And stuff like That is not very Good for a kid, so Thats hard to grow up with. I worry about if im Going to get hurt one day around here and if somethings Going to happen to one of my animals. Two, three, Go the gallows close centre provide lots of Activities Forfree or minimal cost, to keep young people engaged and off the streets. We offer a safe place for these children to come. Without it, we could see a rise in anti social behaviour. The centre provides Role Models for these young people That they may not get elsewhere, so its about making sure That they have plenty to do on their doorstep. There aint great influences around on the street, but That doesnt Go for everyone. And theres great things like gallows and things like That. I found a Jellyfish ive done a lot of trips, and it has massively helped me. Its Just been a really big help in boosting my confidence. And for those who run the Community Centre, Thats what its all about allowing the young people the chance to grow, have fun and be free from the stresses of life on the estate. Bek homer, Bbc News, scarborough.

When Supermodel Halima Aden announced she was quitting modelling in november last year because it was incompatible with her muslim faith, her exit sent Shock Waves through the fashion industry. Now, in a Bbc 100 Women Exclusive Interview shes spoken with us designer Tommy Hilfiger about why she quit and the need to tackle racism and discrimination in the industry. Heres a short clip of That interview. Its embarrassing to be part of a business That has such outrageously antiquated ideas. This is another reason why there needs to be diversity with the make up crew, the hair, the stylists, so its not Just about having a diverse catwalk. Just a snippet there of That interview with Attorney Health tony hilfiger. You can see the whole documentary, its raining all weekend here on it to news channel, and of course can he will be able to find it on the iplayer as Well.

I think Just the representation and some key areas is what needs to shift, and what we are looking to do with the programme That we launched called impact, which is very much an answer to what she was referencing about having varying perspectives and representation behind the scenes. Impact is all about identifying, connecting, supporting and nurturing talent of colour in key facets of the industry, whether it be Art Direction from a designer, editorial director, model, stylist, all of these disciplines are necessary, but we need to have people of colour and people who are marginalised represented in these disciplines.

It gives brands an opportunity to help you know, boost social inclusion and economic mobility and really provide Jobs and opportunity to talents of colour and other marginalised groups.

Despite being the worlds largest manufacturer of covid vaccines, indias own Vaccine Roll out remains slow, with only one third of the Adult Population having received one dose. But in one remote district in the far eastern state of arunchal pradesh, more than 80 of adults have had a Jab. Jini'>0ur Correspondent RaJini vaidyanathan travelled to the area to find out how theyve managed it. These are the lengths some Health Workers are Going to to deliver vaccines across india. In this far flung corner of the country, they are making arduous Journeys, to reach remote villages accessible only by foot. In the blistering heat, we trekked through the Jungle with this man and his team. Covid cases have been rising here in the state of arunachal pradesh, so they are picking up the pace of the vaccine drive. We Go by foot, boats, or by hanging bridges. There are some very dangerous places here. Our main responsibility is to maintain the temperature of the Cool Box to preserve the vaccines. That is why we try to reach the villages as 50011 as we can. His team are pushing themselves to the limit. Here and across india there have been challenges. The Government has been criticised for being too slow to get Jabs out. In this district, they have offered cash prizes to Health Centres which deliver the most doses. After three gruelling hours, we finally make it to the tribal village of kamlang. 0utside this school, they are already waiting for theirJabs. It is quite a turnaround after the villagers were scared to get a vaccine. This man was one of the many who needed persuading. There were rumours That you would fall sick or die after taking one, he told me. Most villagers did not want to come for the vaccine. Health workers convinced us, so we agreed. It took months of work to overcome Vaccine Hesitancy and among the districts 65,000 adults. India has Just come out of a devastating second wave, and the race is on to get as many people vaccinated as possible and nationally around one third of adults have had at least one dose. Here, despite the odds, they have done much better, more than 80 of people have had one shot. They might be leading the way here, but indias Vaccination Programme is making slow progress. It still has a long way to Go if it wants to reach its target of immunising all the adults by The End of this year. Now its Time for a look at the weather with ben rich. Hello. Up up until last saturday, northern Ireland Hadnt recorded a temperature above 31 degrees. Now, its happened three Times in less than a week.
