Vaccine hesitancy has significantly dropped in the UK's Black and Asian communities, Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi says.

He tells a Downing St briefing 82% of all adults in the UK have had a first vaccine dose and three in five have had both jabs.

Only a week after the programme opened to all adults on Friday, one third of 18-24-year-olds have had their first doses, he adds.

In January, the vast majority of hospital admissions were aged over 65 but now just a third are, Zahawi says.

This really does show the importance of getting the jab and, critically, getting the second dose, he says.

UK travel bosses call on the government to expand the green list and reopen international travel.

They say it is "now or never" to save what is left of the summer season - not just for holidaymakers but to protect jobs.

Meanwhile, scientists are trialling whether a drug called Ivermectin could help treat Covid symptoms.

Questions are being asked over whether Wembley should host the Euro 2020 final, amid concerns over Delta variant cases in the UK
