In Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, crowds of people have flocked to the city's ferry terminals to try and get out before a strict national lockdown comes into force.

For seven days from Monday, no-one in Bangladesh will be allowed to leave their homes unless in an emergency.

As a result, people are fleeing the busy capital city to go to their homes in towns and villages.

Covid cases in the country have surged, many linked to the Delta variant first identified in neighbouring India.

The latest wave of the virus in Bangladesh began about six weeks ago. On 15 May, there were 261 new cases and 22 deaths reported. On Friday, there were 5,869 new cases and 108 deaths - the country's second-highest daily death toll of the whole pandemic.

Many hospitals are overwhelmed with patients and are struggling to cope, particularly those on the border with India.

Away now from the cut and thrust of Sunday morning's political programmes, it's all happening on the party island of Ibiza where the noise is more... Balearic beats.

Fifteen hundred key workers had the chance to dance in clubs on the Spanish island this weekend, to test if they can reopen safely.

Sounds just the job. They were allowed to join the trial only if they'd been fully vaccinated or tested negative for Covid.

Labour Party Chair, Anneliese Dodds, has been reacting to Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis's appearance on Andrew Marr.

Mr Lewis said Hancock deserved "credit" for trying to make sure the government could continue to tackle the pandemic and that the PM was right to back him.

Ms Dodds said "it speaks volumes about the total lack of integrity at the heart of Boris Johnson’s government" that a minister could think Hancock deserves praise for resigning.

She said if Mr Johnson had had "any backbone" he would have "removed​ him" rather than waiting for him to resign.

Earlier, the former health secretary and chair of the Health and Social Care Committee Jeremy Hunt was asked on Marr about serious allegations made about Matt Hancock by the PM's former aide, Dominic Cummings, when he appeared before a joint session of the committee of MPs.

Cummings said during the hearing that he would hand over a paper trail to substantiate several claims of lying, including that the former cabinet secretary, Mark Sedwill, told Johnson in mid-April 2020 that he had “lost confidence” in the "honesty" of Matt Hancock.

Hunt says his Commons committee is yet to receive that evidence.

He added: "I think it's also fair to say that if you take out the sort of, the personal vendettas and the score-settling, Dominic Cummings said some pretty important things that helped us understand why certain wrong decisions were made at crucial moments this time last year."

But he said while it was "a very important evidence session", in the absence of that evidence, the case remains "unproven".

Analysis: Javid has a full in-traypublished at 10:44 British Summer Time 27 June 2021

It is, of course, stating the obvious to say Sajid Javid has a full in-tray as the new health secretary in England.

While we may be over the worst of the pandemic, there is still some way to go before life returns to normal.

For one thing, hospital admissions for Covid are rising – not enough to overwhelm the NHS but enough to disrupt the recovery of other services like cancer care and routine surgery.

The NHS in England is also in the process of recruiting a new chief executive, while the UK Health Security Agency is being set up and absorbing some of the work of key agencies involved in the pandemic response, such as NHS Test and Trace and Public Health England.

Then there is the long-term reform of the NHS that was announced earlier this year, which is overhauling some of the management structures of the health service by creating integrated organisations bringing together hospital and community teams.

If that was not enough, there is growing pressure on the government to finally come up with plans for the funding of social care – something governments of all colours have been promising to do since the turn of the century.

Sajid Javid has been making his first statement as health secretary.

He thanks Matt Hancock and vows to get on with ending the pandemic.

He tells reporters: “Matt Hancock worked incredibly hard, he achieved a lot and I’m sure he will have more to offer in public life.

“I was honoured to take up this position. I also know that it comes with huge responsibility, and I will do everything I can to make sure that I deliver for the people of this great country.

"We are still in a pandemic and I want to see that come to an end as soon as possible, and that will be my most immediate priority to see that we can return to normal as soon and as quickly as possible.

“Now I’ve got a lot of work to do and I’m sure you appreciate that, and if you can excuse me I’d like to get on with it.”

Labour MP and Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth questions Sajid Javid's appointment as health secretary as he takes up the post after Matt Hancock.

"The NHS entered this crisis on the back of 10 years of underfunding, cutbacks, of losing beds, short of staff - and Sajid Javid was responsible for that.

"He was a Treasury minister, he was... an architect of the austerity that has afflicted the NHS these last 10 years which has weakened it."

Here's Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen saying Matt Hancock's position had become untenable.

"People have made huge sacrifices to beat the pandemic and what riles them is the whiff of hypocricy that people make the rules and don't stick them themslves," he says.

Questions have been raised as to why Labour leader, Keir Starmer, has not been on the airwaves more giving his opinion about Matt Hancock.

When asked about it on BBC Breakfast earlier, shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth rejected suggestions that Starmer was "failing to capitalise" on government "own goals".

He said that was not true and that Labour is a "team" that has had a host of frontbenchers out and about giving reaction.

Keir is "the captain of that team" he added " and I think he will make a first-class prime minister".

Hunt is asked about whether Matt Hancock "threw a protective ring" around care homes at the start of the pandemic.

It's an issue which the Health and Social Care Committee of MPs, which he chairs, has looked at and heard evidence on from Matt Hancock and the PM's former aide Dominic Cummings, due to the tens of thousands of people in care homes who died.

He says "there were lots of mistakes made last year" and the select committee he chairs is finalising a report looking at what happened during the pandemic so he does not want to prejudge that.

Last year there were "some of the worst failures of the state in our lifetime" he adds but "also some of the biggest successes".

Any "dispassionate judgement" has to put those "two very contradictory things side be side" he says.

Marr asks Hunt if there needs to be a Whitehall-wide review of security after video footage of Matt Hancock kissing his aide was leaked from the Department of Health.

Hunt says: "It's completely unacceptable from a security point of view that ministers are being filmed inside their offices without their knowledge."

He says ministers need to have the ability to have frank private conversations to get to the right decisions.

The police "possibly" need to be involved, says Hunt.

Hunt says he does not want to undermine whistleblowers but make sure ministers are secure in having private conversations and are at no risk of details getting into the hands of hostile powers.

Hunt says Hancock "did the right thing" in resigning.

But he says "there is a family involved here and I don't want to dwell on it for that reason".

Being health secretary in a pandemic "is the most challenging role anyone could have" he says.

Mr Hancock had "incredible energy and resilience" he adds and made himself "constantly available" for people to interview.

We would all do it if we had the expert right in front of us.... BBC presenter Andrew Marr, who recently caught Covid-19 despite being doubly vaccinated, asked Prof Horby about how it was possible for him to get the disease. Was it lack of luck, he asks.

Horby tells him: "I think you were [unlucky]. What we know with the vaccines is that they are remarkably effective at preventing hospitalisations and deaths.

"They are less effective at preventing infections. So, although you were sick, you were not hospitalised and there wasn't any fatality, and that's probably because of the vaccination."

Andrew Marr says he still felt unwell despite the vaccines: "You're absolutely right, you can be pretty sick and not end up in hospital... You can still get a nasty disease."

Former Cabinet minister Alan Johnson has been giving his views on what's caught on camera in government offices.

He says there was never a camera in his office when he was in government.

The former Labour home secretary tells Sky's Trevor Phillips On Sunday: "I could never understand why there was a camera in the secretary of state's office.

"There was never a camera in my office when I was health secretary or in any of the other five cabinet positions."

Senior Conservative and former health secretary Jeremy Hunt is on Marr.

He says Mr Javid will do the job very well because he is someone who says the same things in private as well as public.

He says he hopes time will be taken now to think about the long term challenges facing the NHS - reforming the social care system, dealing with staffing shortages and addressing safety issues such as in maternity care.

He says Mr Javid does understand the budget issues needed to deliver the standard of care required.

Brandon Lewis is asked about how pictures of Mr Hancock and his aide kissing got in to the public domain.

Lewis says the Department for Health will investigate how the leak happened.

He says he is sure the team across government will look at whether there needs to be a review of security and everyone has "got to be concerned" that this happened.

It's always best to assume that anything you do, say or put in writing is always going to be reported somewhere he says.

"The focus for all of us should be on our jobs" he adds.

Northern Ireland Secretary, Brandon Lewis is on Andrew Marr's programme.

He says Matt Hancock resigned because he felt it was the right thing to do and his presence was distracting from the focus on Covid.

His departure will allow the country to get back to focusing on the key issues around dealing with the pandemic, Lewis says.

Pushed on whether the PM should have sacked him rather than waiting for him to resign, he said Mr Johnson was "absolutely right".

He wanted the health secretary to use his experience to deal with coronavirus he said.

Sir Peter Horby, a government adviser on coronavirus and chair of NERVTAG (which looks at emerging virus threats), is being asked whether coronavirus vaccines have broken the link between the virus and serious illness and death.

"They've certainly weakened the link; we're seeing quite different situations now. We're definitely seeing increasing infection rates, but what we're seeing is a much lower level of hospitalisations... But it's not completely broken: as we see increasing infections, we will see increasing hospitalisations," he tells the BBC.

Asked about whether 19 July is a viable date for the end of all legal restrictions, he says: "The nineteenth of July as the earliest is what is actually being said, and we always have to be driven by the data, not the dates, so we are watching it very carefully...

"At the moment, the data is encouraging that we can do that, but we have to make sure we follow the data."

England will not be able to lift all restrictions by 5 July, London's Mayor Sadiq Khan says.

"I think we should, fingers crossed be able to reopen on 19 July. The key thing though is for as many of us as possible to receive the jab... it's crucial," he says.

The BBC's Andrew Marr says Wembley Stadium is due to open to tens of thousands of fans for the finals of the Euros.

Khan says: "The current agreement is for Wembley to open to two thirds capacity, around 67,000", he says.

The government is working with the NHS and with footballing bodies to make the environment safe with lateral flow testing and making sure people get two jabs.

Marr asks if Khan thinks it is wise for Wembley to host the Uefa cup finals.

Khan says he does: "It'll be great for our city, the entire world is going to be watching London for the final and semi final. We've worked incredibly hard to make the games safe and I think we should be proud of that."

Mr Javid previously served as home secretary under former Prime Minister Theresa May, and in 2019 was promoted to chancellor by Boris Johnson.

However he only lasted in that role for six months, resigning in February 2020 following tensions with the prime minister's then-advisor Dominic Cummings.

Mr Javid was told he would have to sack his own advisors, but he rejected the order saying it was something "no self-respecting minister" could accept.

The MP for Bromsgrove since 2010 was born in Rochdale, one of five sons of parents who had moved to the UK from Pakistan.
