Moment and businesses will be keenly watching to see what the chancellor has to say today. A damning review into three medical treatments for women in england says that many lives have been ruined because safety concerns werent listened to, and often dismissed as womens problems. The return of test cricket. No crowds, but no excuses from captain ben stokes who calls englands match with west indies today a massive occasion. And ive been chatting toJimmy Anderson about returning to the game for the first time this summer, and how theyre honouring nhs workers. Good morning. Today weve got a north south split with the weather. North is looking at by spells, sunshine and showers, in the south, and wet. I will have all the details at 6 27am. Its wednesday, 8thjuly. Our top story the chancellor is set to announce a £2 billion fund to create more jobs for young people, as part of plans to boost the economy in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Rishi sunak is also expected to confirm a temporary stamp duty holiday for homebuyers in england and Northern Ireland, as our Political Correspondent helen catt reports. The economy has started to open up again, but things are very different to how they were before. There are warnings that unemployment could run into the millions. So when the chancellor delivers his update in the commons later, his focus will be onjobs. There are particular worries about young people, in hard hit worries about young people, in ha rd hit Industries Like worries about young people, in hard hit Industries Like retail and hospitality, they make up one third of the workforce. As of may, almost 500,000 under 25s were claiming universal credit. So the chancellor wa nts universal credit. So the chancellor wants companies to create job placements for 16 24 year olds who are receiving the benefit. The treasury will pay their wages for 25 hours a week at the National Minimum wage for six months. It has set aside £2 billion for the scheme, which it is thought could create more than 300,000 placements. The policy has been welcomed by business groups as a step in the right direction. Labour, two, says the scheme should help, but says the government will need to do more for hard hit areas and older people who lose theirjobs. The chancellor is expected to make other changes, including to stamp duty, to boost oui including to stamp duty, to boost our sales, and there is speculation that could also be cuts to vat. Ministers have previously said they cannot protect everyjob, but the pressure is now on the chancellor to save as many as possible. Our Political CorrespondentJonathan Blake is in downing street this morning. Good morning, jonathan. Good to see the bbc news umbrella in early use. The issue of stamp duty will be very interesting to anybody in the house buying process at the moment. What more do we know . Good morning, yes, the umbrella is essential this morning, im afraid. When it comes to stamp duty we are expecting the chancellor to announce some changes. It seems likely threshold will rise to £500,000 before any stamp duty needs to be paid. Now, that is a devolved tax, so this will apply in england and Northern Ireland. It will be up to the other devolved administrations to take decisions there. But the hope is that by widening quite broadly the range of properties that fall into that under £500,000 bracket, people will be more inclined to carry on with their homebuying process, move house, which may have been put on hold throughout the coronavirus pandemic, or nudge people into buying and selling homes in the next few months. So, as i say, raising that threshold to up to £500,000 is what we expect the chancellor to do. They may also be other moves to take into account higher Value Properties as well. In terms of what else we are expecting from the chancellor today, one of the other things that has been talked about is a temporary cut in the 80, which could again nudge people to spending some money. Cut in vat. Particularly in the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors, which have been so badly hitting the pandemic, particularly through the lockdown, which was put in place to slow the spread of the virus. So, all eyes from the chancellor when he emerges from the door of number 11 downing st behind me in door of number 11 downing st behind meina door of number 11 downing st behind me in a few hours time and heads to the house of commons. Labour critical, but the government is not yet rising to the challenge of this economic crisis. That the government. Well be speaking to the conservative peer, baroness morgan, at 7 30am. A review of three medical treatments for women in england says many lives have been ruined because officials failed to listen to safety concerns, and often dismissed them as womens problems. It heard from hundreds of families affected by the hormone pregnancy test, primodos, the anti epilepsy drug sodium valproate and pelvic mesh surgical treatment. The report says much of their suffering was entirely avoidable. Heres our Health Correspondent anna collinson. Daniel mason has to work far harder to do the simplest of tasks. He was born without hands, and other life changing injuries. Like many women between the 19505 and 19705, daniels mother used the hormone pregnancy test primodos. The drug was removed from the market in 1978, but its manufacturer denies there is a link between primodos and babies being born with birth defects. Hundreds of families disagreed and have campaigned for recognition for decades. The more we found out about this, the more it has made us actually really quite angry. Not ju5t actually really quite angry. Not just for ourselves, but as a family, but just just for ourselves, but as a family, butjust thinking of just for ourselves, but as a family, but just thinking of the trauma just for ourselves, but as a family, butjust thinking of the trauma that so many people have gone through. Well as primodos, the long awaited bonus come belligerent review also looked into the antiepileptic drug sodium valproate, which increases the chance of birth defects if taken during pregnancy, and pelvic me5h repairs, where thousands of women have experienced chronic pain likened to splintered glass. It ta kes 270 likened to splintered glass. It takes 270 pages to detail the failings, the missed opportunities and the pain inflicted on tens of thousands of people. The review has also made several recommendations to prevent a prevent future harm. Also made several recommendations to prevent a prevent future harmlj wa nt to prevent a prevent future harmlj want to issue a full apology to the, to those who have suffered, and theirfamilies, for the to those who have suffered, and their families, for the frustration, for the time that it has taken, that they have taken, to get their voices heard. And now their voices have been heard, it is very important that we learn from this report. In the case of primodos, baroness cumberlidge says it should have been stopped three years before daniel was born, in 1967. The World Health Organisation has acknowledged, for the first time, that covid 19 might be spread through tiny particles that linger in the air. It says the new findings need further assessment, but could not yet rule out airborne transmission in crowded, closed or poorly ventilated areas. If confirmed, its thought advice on how to prevent the spread of the virus might have to change, including the more widespread use of masks and greater social distancing in public places. President trump has begun the formal process of withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organisation. The president has previously accused the organisation of mishandling the pandemic and being under the control of china. Three million cases of covid 19 have now been confirmed in the us. Five Million People living in the australian city of melbourne have been told to stay at home for six weeks, after a surge in coronavirus cases. They can only leave home for work, food or exercise. The state borders between victoria and New South Wales have also been closed and are being patrolled by the army. Our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil joins us from albury in New South Wales now. Thank you very much indeed for joining us this morning. Tell me the reaction to the news of this latest, very Strict Lockdown . Good morning, sally and daniel. Yes, melbourne is getting ready for its lockdown in a few hours, because of that covid 19 spike. But the precautions actually extend beyond melbourne. I am now in aubrey, as you say, on the New South Wales border, and up until last night, this was actually an open road. Albury. Now it is a chat point manned by police and military personnel. The night, they have been manning this checkpoint and others along the border, stopping cars, checking peoples permits, making sure they do have them before they cross from victoria into New South Wales. Now, isay cross from victoria into New South Wales. Now, i say the word border. What it means, actually, for tens of thousands of people who have been crossing here for years, is essentially driving from one end of a highway or a bridge across the river into another, for work or school or to visit family, for hospital appointments, so this is very, very different. And it shows the kind of nervousness among the leadership about what is happening in victoria. But there has been a great deal of confusion here as to these changes. For example, this morning we have seen very, very long queues of cars and massive delays, as they have been checking those permits. We have spoken to local Business Owners who say that if their staff work on the other side of the border, in victoria, they could not cross to New South Wales, which means there is uncertainty about what that means for local businesses here. But all of this, really, is an indication of the seriousness of the situation back in victoria, the fact that there is a spike of covid 19 cases in melbourne, and authorities are saying that unless they get a handle on it now, it could spiral out of control. Shaimaa khalil, thank you very much indeed. The brazilian president has said he is not surprised that he tested positive for covid 19. Jair bolsonaro compared the virus to rain and said that eventually everyone would get wet. He has repeatedly downplayed the risk of the virus, despite brazil having the second highest number of cases in the world. The president said he tested positive after suffering from a high temperature, but is now feeling fine. Italian brides to be who are upset they cannot have the wedding of their dreams because of the pandemic have staged a flash mob at romes trevi fountain. Where there wedding dresses, as you can see, they protested against italys lockdown measures, which prohibit large gatherings. Wearing their wedding dresses. Couples were given the green light to tie the knot again backin green light to tie the knot again back in may, but ceremonies have to be small, and you have to wear a mask, even the newlyweds, and you are not allowed to throw confetti.

Online, and the huff post also leads on the youth unemployment scheme, saying it is part of a wider coronavirus recovery package to help boost the economy. The i reports that free hospital parking for nhs workers in england could be scrapped. The paper says that charges will be reintroduced after they were paused by the government at the start of the pandemic. And the High Court Libel case betweenjohnny depp and the Sun Newspaper features on the front of the daily mail.

They have a lwa ys withdraws that support. They have always said it will would will happen at some stage.

I lost my job in hospitality pretty much straightaway because i fell through the gap because i fell through the gap because i fell through the gap because i had just changed jobs.
