intruded upon, the same thing everybody else in the world wants, and that there is a difference between privacy and intrusion and being able to have boundaries. millions of children in england go back to school — borisjohnson describes it as an important first step towards a "sense of normality". we all need to get back to some sort of routine. i have every confidence in the school and the way this has all been set up, and how they are going to get tested regularly. holding hands at last — care home residents in england are now allowed one person who can visit them indoors — but no hugs yet. on international women's day — we look at new technology being introduced to help female athletes perform better. all families have their disagreements — but nothing quite like this. once again, the royalfamily is at the eye of a global storm — over its treatment of the duchess of sussex, over the fall—out between prince harry and his father, and over the issue of race. and all in an interview on american television. the duchess told oprah winfrey she had felt suicidal — and considered harming herself before withdrawing from royal duties. she also said that an unnamed figure in the family had raised concerns to prince harry about how dark skinned their children would be. the duke of sussex also told the talk show host that he still had a good relationship with the queen — but prince harry spoke about his troubled relationship with his father. this report from our royal correspondent daniela relph. the duchess of sussex didn't hold back. she described a royal life of loneliness and isolation that left her in the darkest of places. so, were you thinking of harming yourself, were you having suicidal thoughts? yes, this was very, very clear. wow. very clear and very scary. and, you know, i didn't know who to even turn to in that. these are the thoughts that i'm having in the middle of the night that are very clear, and i'm scared, because this is very real. this isn't some abstract idea, this is methodical, and this is not who i am. meghan described feeling unsupported by what she called "the institution." the duke and duchess of sussex! she talked about this charity event in january 2019. she said just before leaving, she told her husband that she'd thought about taking her own life. she describes how the glamour on the outside hid the pain on the inside. wait, listen — did you hear that? the interview was personal, revealing and, at times, shocking. she told oprah winfrey that her son archie's mixed race heritage was an issue. that when pregnant, someone within the palace questioned how her child would look. in those months when i was pregnant, all around this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of, "he won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title." and also, concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he is born. what? and you're not going to tell me who had the conversation? i think that would be very damaging to them. the interview highlighted strained relations within the royal family. meghan said media reports claiming she'd made her sister—in—law, the duchess of cambridge, cry, were false. in fact, it was the other way round, she said, and kate had apologised. when harryjoined the conversation with oprah, he described how he felt both his brother and father were trapped within the royal family. of william, he said their relationship now needed space and he hoped it would heal. and he revealed a rift with his father. there's a lot to work through there. you know, i... i feel really let down. because he's been through something similar. he knows what pain feels like. and this is... and archie's his grandson. but at the same time, of course, i will always love him. but there is a lot of hurt that's happened. there were lighter moments, too. the new baby is a girl, due in the summer. and life in california has brought the couple peace. this is, of course, one side of the story. but the interview is deeply critical of the royal family and its staff. it was a portrait of an institution unable or unwilling to help those struggling within it. daniela relph, bbc news. more on the interview prince harry and meghan markle gave to oprah winfrey, our royal correspondent gave us this update as short while ago. oprah winfrey, the queen of chat show host, and she has just been it speaking on cbs, speaking about her experiences and how it came about and everyone fascinated in every single detail as you would imagine of this interview. one of the things that she talked about is one of the main clips which came out of the interview, the question of somebody interview, the question of somebody in the royalfamily interview, the question of somebody in the royal family talking about archie and what colour his skin will be and oprah said in the interview that prince harry wanted to make clear to her that everyone knew it wasn't his grandmother or his grandfather, those people were not part of those conversations. that is one point you bring out. she was questioned about why prince harry and meghan markle who often talk about privacy and a lack of privacy, why they would go on and be interviewed by one of the biggest names in the world in terms of interviews and this was her response. interviews and this was her re5ponse-_ interviews and this was her resonse. ,

hours and 20 minutes, down to one hour and three hours and 20 minutes, down to one hourand 20, three hours and 20 minutes, down to one hour and 20, so one can only imagine what might actually have ended up being on the cutting room floor. she was asked whether she had spoken to either prince harry or meghan at since the interview was aired and she said no, she was hoping to speak to them later today, but she had a text from meghan asking, how is it going? so what has the response been to the interview? adina campbell has been gauging reaction. it was one of the biggest tv events of the year. as millions of us worldwide watched the fairy tale wedding of prince harry and meghan markle, three years later it is a very different story. this time millions of people tuned in overnight to watch the couple open up to oprah winfrey about their lives in the royal family. it was uncomfortable viewing, with allegations of racism aimed at their son, archie. the duchess of sussex revealed, when she was five months pregnant, there were conversations and concerns within the royal family about how dark their son's skin would be. while we talk about this issue, particularly the issue of members of the royal family having conversations about the colour of archie's skin, that is racist. for those who would like to see that as, oh, it'sjust family having a conversation, no, it's not. and that kind of thinking normalises racism. this is without doubt one of the most staggering interviews given by any members of the royal family, with front—page headlines in many of today's papers. and it is all over social media, dividing opinion with an outpouring of heated discussions about race. tennis star serena williams, one of meghan's closest friends, and also a guest at their wedding, has shown her support on twitter. she said, meghan markle, my selfless friend, lives her life and leads by example with empathy and compassion. but some royal biographers are not convinced by what the couple had to say. it was a very soft serving, soapy interview in meghan's favour. nobody asked her about her relationship with her father. nobody asked her the astonishing fact that she only had one member of her family at her wedding. this is a woman who seems to make a habit of falling out with people. but none of meghan's real behaviour was questioned. it was an absolute exercise in torching the house of windsor and i came away with a very distasteful taste in my mouth. while friends of prince harry say it is important to be clear about what was said in the interview. there is a distinction between the royal family and the institution. the royal family, meghan only had praise for them. however, the institution, the officials, i think they are the ones that have come out quite bad in this interview. and in the states, the couple's interview is the most talked about story of the day so far. back here, labour is calling for buckingham palace to investigate an allegation of racism. adina campbell, bbc news. well, for more on the oprah interview, anna whitelock, a royal historian and the head of history at royal holloway, university of london, joins us from cambridge. does anybody come out of this well? no, i don't think they do, and your package has summed it up, for those who are supporters of the royal family, they will see harry and meghan having done a very unedifying thing, at a time when harry's grandfather prince philip is in hospital, and for those who have a different view, it will be very much throwing fresh light and new light on the institution of monarchy and confirming their worst suspicions that it was an outdated and it seems, the suggestion by some, a racist institution. the seems, the suggestion by some, a racist institution.— racist

a comment which appears racist, but not naming them, of course it has got everybody asking, who is it. it is unfair on those who did it, isn't it? -- is unfair on those who did it, isn't it? —— on

neither the queen or prince philip, that harry did say that, but it raises questions about who it was. it begins to tart the royal family with the brush of racism that when this is it about one individual who made at best an ill—advised comment to harry about the colour of the skin of his then unborn child. if relations were good between harry and whoever he was talking to ever time, one might have seen this as innocent, perhaps in —— ill—advised butinnocent innocent, perhaps in —— ill—advised but innocent question, but because of the perception of meghan's ill—treatment from harry, clearly he saw this as a question that was underpinned by racism and that is how it is being reported today. he passedit how it is being reported today. he passed it on to meghan. she did not hear the comment herself. trio. passed it on to meghan. she did not hear the comment herself.— hear the comment herself. no, you wonder how — hear the comment herself. no, you wonder how advised _ hear the

comment herself. no, you | wonder how advised that was. but of course this is only one side of the story. we don't know when it was said and we don't know who said it and we don't know the context, so i'm not for one minute defending racism but we need to be careful aboutjust racism but we need to be careful about just assuming that this is racism but we need to be careful aboutjust assuming that this is a charge of racism against the whole institution, even against the whole family, and indeed meghan and harry talked about how warmly welcomed she was by the queen. the queen very much tried to set the tone for the family in welcoming meghan and supporting her and helping her, trying to help, but that is not to say that meghan's charges about the fact she was neglected in terms of her mental health, those charges will stick, but to some extent that is about the institution and the workings of the monarchy. and buckingham palace. the issue that image is everything, that buckingham palace needs to be seen to be doing the right thing, well, at least doing the thing they would define as right, perhaps and secondly placing people's own personal happiness, very much down the line a priority, so this is about buckingham palace and the workings of the royal household and the institution as well as of course about a family which is now riven apart and on this huge media platform. we which is now riven apart and on this huge media platform.— huge media platform. we are all aware of the _ huge media platform. we are all aware of the same, _ huge media platform. we are all aware of the same, failed - huge media platform. we are all aware of the same, failed to - aware of the same, failed to prepare, prepare to fail, so for those who say she did not know what she was entering, she only needs to read about history to see it is not the bed of roses she thought it was. yes, that was a bit disingenuous. she was clearly very active on social media and she had her own blog so the idea that she had not googled harry and the royal family, i do think that doesn't quite ring true, but i also think it is fair to say that however much reading and googling you might have done, nothing can prepare you for the reality ofjoining the royal family. fitting into a role which is very prescribed. never complain, never explain, that is the adage which the queen lives by, and a mature woman, marrying into the family, having her own identity, having much to say, thatis own identity, having much to say, that is going to be very difficult for her, and arguably the institution at best can be said just hasn't moved with the times and really does need to catch up in terms of how they treat those marrying into it. what is sad is that harry and meghan were going to represent this kind of new style of monarchy and also add colour to the rather staid white institution and of course the opportunity has now been lost. . ., of course the opportunity has now been lost. , ., , ., been lost. use the word institution and we are — been lost. use the word institution and we are talking _ been lost. use the word institution and we are talking about _ been lost. use the word institution and we are talking about a - been lost. use the word institution and we are talking about a family | and we are talking about a family but then we are talking about the people who work for them and who they themselves with. anyone who has come into contact with them will be familiar with the phrase red carpet fever, where you feel almost as royal as you —— those you are working for, so that is a problem? i working for, so that is a problem? i think so, but there has been a change, especially around the young royals, they have had many different appointees over the last great few years which is in contrast to the royal officials of the past where you sought really long serving private secretaries and so on and a real sense of loyalty —— where you saw. and a real sense of deference. but maybe some of the more recent appointees have found it rather difficult to fit in with what is expected of being a servant within the royal family. expected of being a servant within the royalfamily. you either have people who almost see themselves as versions of royalty, demanding a kind of deference even though they are courtiers themselves, and in contrast those who come from a media background who perhaps don't understand the niceties or not at the sensitivities of being royal and what you can and can't do in the media. at best it shows the fact that the institution of monarchy has to be refreshed and it has to understand its place in the modern world. it needs to understand that the fact it is an anachronistic institution belonging to a bygone age does not mean it doesn't have to update itself in terms of how it treats people and how it represents itself, and i think now, of course, all eyes on the palate and how they will respond, and i think this will be really difficult to get the wording right —— eyes on the palace. to express the affection they still have four harry, meghan and archie but maybe also pushing back on some of the allegations, but maybe also suggesting everyone has something to learn from this episode in an way to broker a reproach in the future, but that would be difficult. they could stay quiet, of course and that would be difficult. they could stay quiet, of course— that would be difficult. they could stay quiet, of course and then maybe make some — stay quiet, of course and then maybe make some approach _ stay quiet,

were leaving, we saw those quite personal statements from the queen talking about her pain as a grandmother, and i think we might see more of that. we might see a statement which again underscores the queen's affection for harry and meghan and archie and tries to go big on that and tries to put a lid on some of these rather unsavoury allegations. the pressure will also mount on the palace to mount an internal investigation into prince andrew because if there are claims of bullying on the part of meghan, people will say, why is there no internal inquiry into prince andrew? that is the kind of line of media interest that will be very uncomfortable for the palace. really aood to uncomfortable for the palace. really good to talk — uncomfortable for the palace. really good to talk to _

winfrey that one unnamed family member raised questions about the skin colour of her son archie. oprah winfrey has since said harry wanted to clairfy that it was not the queen or prince philip who made the comments about archie's skin. she also addressed the couple's desire for privacy. today marks the first stage of the prime minister's roadmap out of lockdown for england — all schools and colleges can now reopen. millions of children in england have gone back to school after more than two months studying at home. university students can also return for practical courses and there will be a review by the end of the easter holidays for all other students. until now, you could only meet one person outside for exercise. but now, two people from different households can meet outside for recreation, which can include "a coffee on a bench" or a picnic. and care home residents can now receive visitors — one nominated person can visit as long as they wear ppe and get a negative result from a lateral flow test. physical contact will need to be kept to a minimum. the �*stay at home rule' is still in place. sean dilley reports on the return of pupils to their classes. and then we're going to go up one of your nostrils... for pupils at the bexleyheath academy in south—east london, it's an experience that may feel more medical in nature than traditionally educational, but it is the new normal, at least for now. oh, that is awful. there is no doubt that the lateral flow tests cause slight discomfort, but there's a real sense here that students are prepared to do whatever is necessary to protect others. we would rather be safe than not so, we've just got to do what we have to do, and if we have to wear masks, we have to wear masks. i'm prepared to do it, i'm happy to do it, i but i think the whole process is a bit nerve—racking. - hopefully within a few weeks i will get used i to the feeling and will be able to prepare myself before. - like all secondary schools in england, pupils will be offered three on—site tests in the first two weeks, and followed by twice weekly home tests after that. secondary school students are asked to wear facemasks where social distancing is not possible. some teachers say government guidance on the matter could be stronger, but it's not a concern here. facemasks in classrooms, that is new from todau and we are encouraging all of our students to wear a face covering. we have been overwhelmingly positive in the response from our students that are cooperating with that request. primary school pupils in england are not being asked to wear masks or take tests. for parents, there is palpable relief after more than two months of remote learning from those children. i think it's essential now that we try to get back some sort of normality. i think, obviously, the children need it. we all need to get back to some sort of routine. i'm very reassured that the transition from being in lockdown at home, studying online, to being back in school will be a really smooth transition, hopefully. he doesn't seem worried. he has been seeing his teachers every day online, and the students. on a school visit in essex, labour has launched a campaign for universal breakfast clubs to help children in england catch up on lost learning. they make a huge difference, notjust in learning but also social development. we want to see that properly funded and available for all children to help in particular with the catchup that is needed. the government says reopening of english schools to all pupils is an important first step in lifting lockdown restrictions. this is the first step on that road map to recovery. we have always prioritised children. we have said that schools will be the last to close, and the first to open. it is so important for young people's mental health and well—being. in northern ireland, younger primary schoolchildren are also returning today. in scotland and wales, younger primary pupils returned last month, with phased returns for more pupils from the 15th of march. the government says it will monitor the reopening of schools in england closely, but it is clear it does not want to restrict attendance in future. the education secretary for england, gavin williamson, says testing for covid—i9 represents a further degree of protection for schools. he was speaking on a visit to arden academy in solihull. what we are seeing right across england is an incredibly high take—up of tests and all schools, secondary school settings, they are offering testing facilities, and the initial intelligence is it is exceptionally high, a real sense of children wanting to play their part in terms of beating this pandemic and parents recognising that actually by giving that consent they are actually helping to keep their children safe, schools safe and teachers safe as well. restrictions have been eased in care homes in england. each resident will be allowed one person who can visit them indoors — and they'll be able to hold hands, although hugs and kisses remain forbidden. luxmy gopal reports. we've waited a long time, haven't we? to come and do this. a simple act, a year ago taken for granted, now a huge step in reuniting people with their loved ones. from today, people in care homes in england can, for the first time since the pandemic started, meet family or friends indoors, face—to—face and hold hands, separated only by gloves, whereas, previously, visits had to be from behind screens or a window, which was the only way ann could see her mother kathleen until now. lovely. it's just lovely. in fact, we all got rather emotional. but yeah, i got more response than i would get from her normally through the window. it still isn't much, but it is something. families face difficult decisions as, barring exceptional circumstances, only one person can be the visitor. my sister, ann, has been my mum's primary carer before she was admitted into the home. she lived on site on the farm, so she saw her day—to—day, so itjust came naturally that she was the first one to be allowed in. i do believe it will not be long before other family members are allowed. so, i'm prepared to wait that little bit longer cos my turn will come. this is the first cautious step in opening up care homes, and not without risk. and the extra safety measures demand extra resources. this chain of care homes has had to recruit two new staff just to oversee the visits and the lateral flow testing. it's so pleasing to see those families reunited, so i think it is worth it. ijust hope that others will move forward, but we ask the government for a bit more support in helping us make sure that we can keep the visiting going because fitting everyone in has its challenges. everyone wants a visit. it's mother's day soon, so there has been tremendous demand. the visits are at the discretion of individual care homes, and the government says further physical contact such as hugging is too much of a covid risk to be allowed. but for hundreds of thousands of families today, while they cannot hold their loved ones close, just being able to hold their hands after months of separation is close enough. luxmy gopal, bbc news, scarborough. four in ten black british people are reluctant to take the coronavirus vaccine — the highest of all ethnic groups according to new data. overall more than 90% of adults said they would have the vaccine when offered it, according the office for national statistics, but there's still reluctance among some in ethnic minority groups. around one in six younger people aged 16 to 29 also reported vaccine hesitancy. the prime minister will lead this afternoon's downing street briefing. we'll have full coverage from 3:45 on bbc one and the bbc news channel. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. the week has got off to a relatively quiet start but it looks like this is just the calm before the storm. lively weather to come, spells of rain and very strong winds especially around the middle part of the week. as we head into the evening and tonight, we will see a lot of cloud, the odd spot of rain, but for parts of wales, the midlands and southern counties of england, with clear skies it will get quite cold, towns and cities down around freezing and below, some spots in the countryside down to —3 or lower. milder elsewhere but with a lot of cloud to start tomorrow morning, again some mistiness and the odd spot of rain, and as we go through the day the winds picking up over western areas with outbreaks of rain arriving in northern ireland and western scotland. highs of 9—12, pretty windy through tuesday night and into wednesday, and then windier steel on wednesday into thursday, and that could well cause some disruption. hello. this is bbc news. iam simon i am simon mccoy. the headlines — the duchess of sussex tells american tv that her treatment by the royal family led her

security, he's not going to be given a title. and also, concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he is born. oprah winfrey has since said harry wanted to clairfy that it was

england go back to school — borisjohnson describes it as an important first step towards a "sense of normality". we all need to get back to some sort of routine. i've got every confidence in the school and the way this has all been set up, how they are going to get tested regularly. holding hands at last — care home residents in england are now allowed one person who can visit them indoors — but no hugs yet. on international women's day — we look at new technology being introduced to help female athletes perform better. sport now, and for a full—round up from the bbc sport centre, here's chetan. good afternoon. more sports than ever are offering equal prize money to men and women at the top level, that's according to a new bbc sport study. when the first one was carried out in 2014, it found 30% of sports paid men more prize money than women. in this latest study, however, it's fewer than 10%. the biggest gaps in prize money remain in football, golf and basketball. cricket has taken the biggest strides to narrow the gap, with competitions like the hundred and the big bash offering equal prize money. you can find the full details of that study on the bbc sport website. with the tokyo olympics and paralympics set to take place this summer, athletes and the english institute of sport have been working together to look at every detail that could give competitors the edge. as laura scott reports, on international women's day, a simple tweak to clothing could make all the difference when it comes to performance. they've all conquered the world in their respective sport, but have required different skills and different equipment to get there. what's one thing they all have in common? beneath their gb kit they all rely on the humble bra, though it has traditionally

research by the university of portsmouth found that women running in a bra with poor support short in their stride by four centimetres, so if you imagine two clones of the same woman ran a marathon with the only difference being the fit of their bra, the one wearing a sports bra that fits well could cross the finish line a mile ahead of the other. the distraction of an ill fitting bra is an issue for every woman. the english institute of sport are giving 100 olympians and paralympians bespoke sports bras to ensure they can perform at their best in tokyo. ensure they can perform at their

has beaten roger federer�*s record for most weeks as world number one. this is the 311th week he's been on top of the rankings. djokovic won his 18th grand slam title and his ninth australian open

manslaughter after being filmed with his knee on mr floyd's neck in minneapolis last may. the incident sparked black lives matter protests around the world. barbara plett usher reports from minneapolis, and a warning, her report does contain distressing images. # we live all the time. keep it straight, keep it raw. that's what they say in krump. in a time of raw emotions, this fantastically physical street dance is a cathartic release. krumping has helped them work through their anger and pain over george floyd's death, and it will help them deal with the trial of the man charged in the killing, derek chauvin. however this trial is going to end will be really big, either on the bad side or the good side. and i believe that it shows us how much our government cares about us, or not. the graphic video of the white police officer pinning down the black man has made this perhaps the most famous prosecution of police brutality in us history. i can't breathe! nojustice! no peace! protests demanding racialjustice and police reform rolled across the country — peaceful by day, but sometimes violent by night. in minneapolis, there was extraordinary damage. elias has managed to restock the drugs in his pharmacy, but his business is still recovering. last year, he watched helplessly by security camera as it was ransacked. wow, what a mess. completely trashed ? yes. elias and his wife mawerdi had invested their lives and savings in the pharmacyjust eight months before the unrest. the trial, it kind of brings a nervousness and brings back some of the flashbacks of what happened in the past during the civil unrest. but, at the same time, we feel like it's probably part of a little bit of the price that we pay forjustice. justice for george, the rallying cry that shaped a movement and is now facing a moment of reckoning. trials in police killings are rare, in a nation that seldom punishes cops for allegations of abusive behaviour. once again, minneapolis is in the national spotlight. this time, as a test case for the country on whether anything's changed about holding police officers to account for the way they use force. and about attitudes towards racism and policing in america. barbara plett usher, bbc news, minneapolis. of the process ofjury of the process of jury selection of the process ofjury selection is under way now in

and also did you participate in marches against police brutality, and if so did you carry a sign? as we go live to minneapolis of course, the court is adjourned! chuckling that's timing. but we will return. as i say, it is a process that could take quite some time. did you participate in marches, is one of the questions, what is your view of the questions, what is your view of the group blue

asking people near to where she was last seen to check their dashcams and door bell footage. 33—year—old sarah everard hasn't been seen since last wednesday evening, after she left a friend's house in clapham. us special presidential envoy for climatejohn kerry is in london to discuss climate action. secretary kerry met cop26 president alok sharma, as well as the chancellor and foreign secretary as part of a three—day visit to europe to strengthen global ambition ahead of major climate meetings this year. scotland's deputy first minister john swinney has been holding the daily coronvirus breifing. he said scotland is still on track to offer a first vaccination dose to all over 50—year—olds, unpaid carers and those with underlying health conditions by the middle of april. but he expressed his dismay at the scenes in glasgow over the weekend, when fans gathered to celebrate rangers' victory in the scottish premiership. all of us recognise that winning the league was a special moment for rangers football club, and before i say more, i want to congratulate the club on their success, and thank all those fans who celebrated at home, and who followed the rules. but the behaviour of some fans has been an absolute disgrace. and has undoubtedly cast a shadow over what should have been a special day for the team. the success that we have had in recent weeks in reducing case numbers is because so many people across scotland have stuck to extremely tough rules, which are designed to prevent the spread of the virus between different households. to see so many people deliberately flouting these rules, with no regard for the safety of others, is shameful. events like yesterday risk spreading the virus. and they show no regard or respect at all for the millions of households across scotland, who have been sticking to the rules, we haven't been able to meet up with friends and families, to fully celebrate birthdays and other milestones, or in some cases to attend funeral services of their loved ones. the government and police scotland reminded ranges of the need for the club to advise fans to adhere to the current restrictions in discussions on 26th of february and the 5th of march. it is a matter of profound regret that that did not happen. the scottish government will be making an extreme disappointment at the lack of leadership clear to the team management and will be speaking to all the authorities about what further assurance they can give to us ahead of future planned games. i also understand that many people have questions as to the preparation for and the nature of the policing that took place yesterday and why they did not prevent people from gathering. i understand the anger of those living and working in the city centre at what they saw, and what took place. policing of such occasions requires difficult operationaljudgments to be arrived at by police scotland. thejustice secretary has spoken to the chief constable and to rangers football club, and will be doing so again come to understand why the events of yesterday took place as they did, what actions have been taken to identify those responsible, and what work can be done to try to ensure that we do not see repeats of these scenes at upcoming events. the main issue that i want to highlight today relates to schools. schools in primary four to seven will return full—time next week. in addition next monday sees a return to school, a phase one, for secondary school one to six. guidance on this phased return is being published today. among other things, it stresses that all staff and secondary school pupils should wear face coverings in classrooms, in communal areas and when moving about the school. the guidance also highlights the importance of to meet a physical distancing during the phased return. we currently expect, subject to our progress and suppression of the virus and to further scientific advice, that all secondary school pupils will return to full—time in—person learning after the easter holidays. in-person learning after the easter holida s. :. :. . in-person learning after the easter holida s. . ., , g :, ,, , the headlines on

what you do notice is it is very, very easy and quick for women, in even if they were very celebrated in even if they were very celebrated in their day, to disappear from history books, as it is a bit of an old cliche to say history is always written by the victors, it is also very partially. so i launched the campaign women in history. really just to say let's celebrate amazing women, it was in the spirit of celebration and within days of announcing it, i have thousands of nominations from all over the world, from every corner of the world, every period of history, and i think it isjust the every period of history, and i think it is just the understanding that people can see the history books don't always include everybody, and even when there are very famous women in the history books, quite often they are held up as the one exceptional woman who did amazing thing, ratherthan exceptional woman who did amazing thing, rather than all the women who were there too, so it is not about if you like leaving anybody out, it is about getting a bigger table and pulling up more chairs and just celebrating the women in whose footsteps we walk. in celebrating the women in whose footsteps we

it, it is just common sense. we have always been here, sharing the same earth, and it really is as straightforward as that, he is saying that everybody should bejudged on their achievements, what they do, not what they look like or come from, so when i was doing all the research, it was just a tiny little stories that were so exciting. clare balding nominated the great footballer, female footballer lily parj, the only female footballer who has a statue after her, but she was enormously important in her day, and so was women's football but then it went away. mary siegel, the british notes who set

from turkey, from france, from new zealand, from aboriginal people, it really has been global, and that's what's so joyous. because i did launch it in the spirit of let's just say where hey, these women are amazing, and people have responded in like, and just wanting to share stories about incredible people that they know, because many of these people of course are known in their commune but they aren't part of the big historical record, you know, the history with muscles, if you like, and that is what has been wonderful i think, seeing people wanting to celebrate incredible people. and everybody has been going through a tough old time, this has been a year like no otherfor tough old time, this has been a year like no other for many of us, and the idea that we should celebrate the idea that we should celebrate the best, to put the good stories out there, as well as the ones that are harder and less harmonious, i think people have responded to that and i'm very grateful to them. we have only been able to publish the first 500 because i have been overwhelmed, you know, typing as fast as i can, but we will be publishing the first 500 of our living legends, and then we will be expanding the list, so anybody watching, just go on to social media with the hashtag woman, just singular woman in history, and nominate a person you want to celebrate or should be better known and

notjust or needs to be looked at or whatever, you have two choices in the world, you have two choices in the world, you can sit around and moan or you can do something. and i think doing something in the spirit of let's just expand the story, is always more effective than looking at what has gone wrong. i mean, that is very important of course, we need to analyse why these things happen. one of the points of the campaign to me was to say how does it happen, you know, is it neglect, is it a lack of people curating people's legacy, is it deliberate? we know that in every period of history, the ruling class, whoever they are, whatever they look like, whatever period of history, will tell us a vision of history that flattens them to the extent of being at the cost of everyone else. when i was writing my new novel, city of tears, you could see if you read about katherine dominici from one point of view, she was a hero, a strong and brave woman, but from the other point of view she was seen as a monster, so we all understand there is always an angle, but i think being angry about the past in terms of making change, that is the way, to effect change often, but for me what i find is let's just see it is absolutely true that women's achievements that are manifold and huge and come from every race and every period of time have been, for whatever reason, not always forefront in our history books. my way of dealing with that is to say ok, let's write better history books, let'sjust ok, let's write better history books, let's just get those names out there, and i think that is what engages people. wanting to say to people, justjoin in, this is not a bit of fun, quite, but all anybody had to do isjust bit of fun, quite, but all anybody had to do is just give bit of fun, quite, but all anybody had to do isjust give me a name. they didn't even have to tell me what she had done, that is why it is taking so long! and some people in the living legends, i have been really touched, getting from young people, boys as well as girls, saying i would like to nominate my mum, because she is the woman who i most admire, and i think that is fantastic. i spend a lot of time with older women, i am very much involved in older women's voices and how older women often disappear from the history book, and i have been very moved by people wanting to celebrate the quiet revolutionaries, the gentle souls who didn't necessarily make history, in terms of ruling a nation, or changing the face of science, or mary anning, who was the great palaeontologist and fossil finder, was the great palaeontologist and fossilfinder, but the people was the great palaeontologist and fossil finder, but the people who made a difference to their communities, because in the end we know that the world is a happier place if we all pull together. it is an old—fashioned message but that is the message. an old-fashioned message but that is the message-— the message. kate, you have

complicated and not always evident from the outside. i think that what you see in these sort of situations is that one person is held up as a lightning rod for all sorts of big discussions that are going on around lots and lots of different things. she is a young woman who is expecting a baby, and for me, ijust feel, i don't get involved in making comments on people that i don't know and have never met. but i wish her and have never met. but i wish her and her husband, and indeed the royalfamily, well, and that i'm sure that they all wish that they could have sorted it out quietly, shall

is just the calm before the storm. some livelier weather to come, spells of rain and some very strong winds, particularly around the middle part of the week. so as we head into this evening and tonight, we will see a lot of cloud, the odd spot of rain, some vista and mac, but the parts of wales, the midlands, come with clear skies it will get quite cold. towns and cities down around freezing or below, some spots in the countryside down to —3 “4. milder elsewhere, but with a lot of cloud to start off tomorrow morning, again some missed unity and there, the odd spot of rain or drizzle. as we go through the day we will see the wind is picking up across western areas with outbreaks of rain arriving in northern ireland and western scotland, highs of nine to 12 degrees, pretty windy through tuesday night and into wednesday, and then when ds still through wednesday night into thursday —— windier still. that could well cause some disruption. this is bbc news. i'm simon mccoy. the headlines: the duchess of sussex tells american tv that her treatment by the royal family led her to contemplate suicide. she tells oprah winfrey that one unnamed family member raised questions about the skin colour of her son archie. so, we have in tandem the conversation of, "he won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title." and also, concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he is born. oprah winfrey has since said harry wanted to clarify that it was not the queen or prince philip who made the comments about archie's skin colour. she also addressed the couple's desire for privacy. they understand they are public figures and the privacy is to not be intruded upon, the same thing everybody else in the world wants, and that there is a difference between privacy and intrusion and being able to have boundaries. millions of children in england go back to school — borisjohnson describes it as an important first step towards a "sense of

better. all families have their disagreements — but nothing quite like this. once again, the royalfamily is at the eye of a global storm — over its treatment of the duchess of sussex, over the fall—out between prince harry and his father, and over the issue of race. and all in an interview on american television. the duchess told oprah winfrey she had felt suicidal and considered harming herself before withdrawing from royal duties. she also said that an unnamed figure in the family had raised concerns to prince harry about how dark skinned their children would be. the duke of sussex also told the talk show host that he still had a good relationship with the queen — but prince harry spoke about his troubled relationship with his father. this report from our royal correspondent daniela relph. the duchess of sussex didn't hold back. she described a royal life of loneliness and isolation that left her in the darkest of places. so, were you thinking of harming yourself, were you having suicidal thoughts? yes, this was very, very clear. wow. very clear and very scary. and, you know, i didn't know who to even turn to in that. these are the thoughts that i'm having in the middle of the night that are very clear, and i'm scared, because this is very real. this isn't some abstract idea, this is methodical, and this is not who i am. meghan described feeling unsupported by what she called "the institution." the duke and duchess of sussex! she talked about this charity event in january 2019. she said just before leaving, she told her husband that she'd thought about taking her own life. she describes how the glamour on the outside hid the pain on the inside. wait, listen — did you hear that? the interview was personal, revealing and, at times, shocking. she told oprah winfrey that her son archie's mixed race heritage was an issue. that when pregnant, someone within the palace questioned how her child would look. in those months when i was pregnant, all around this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of, "he won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title." and also, concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he is born. what? and you're not going to tell me who had the conversation? i think that would be very damaging to them. the interview highlighted strained relations within the royal family. meghan said media reports claiming she'd made her sister—in—law, the duchess of cambridge, cry, were false. in fact, it was the other way round, she said, and kate had apologised. when harryjoined the conversation with oprah, he described how he felt both his brother and father were trapped within the royal family. of william, he said their relationship now needed space and he hoped it would heal. and he revealed a rift with his father. there's a lot to work through there. you know, i... i feel really let down. because he's been through something similar. he knows what pain feels like. and this is... and archie's his grandson. but at the same time, of course, i will always love him. but there is a lot of hurt that's happened. there were lighter moments, too. the new baby is a girl, due in the summer. and life in california has brought the couple peace. this is, of course, one side of the story. but the interview is deeply critical of the royal family and its staff. it was a portrait of an institution unable or unwilling to help those struggling within it. daniela relph, bbc news. oprah winfrey has been speaking to the media about the interview. sarah campbell is following reaction to it. oprah winfrey, the queen of chat show hosts, she's just been speaking on cbs, speaking about her experiences and how the interview came about. everyone fascinated in every single detail, as you would imagine, of this interview. one of the things that she talked about is one of the main clips which came out of the interview, the question of somebody in the royal family talking about archie and what colour his skin would be. oprah said in the interview that prince harry wanted to make clear to her that everyone knew it wasn't his grandmother or his grandfather, those people were not part of those conversations. that's one point to bring out. she was questioned about why prince harry and meghan markle who often talk about privacy and a lack of privacy, why they would go on and be interviewed by one of the biggest names in the world in terms of interviews and this was her response... yes, they want privacy, but they understand that they are public figures, and the privacy is to not be intruded upon. the same thing everybody else in the world wants, and that there is a difference between privacy and intrusion and being able to have boundaries. yes, you want privacy. you don't want helicopters and people hiding in the bushes, filming your baby outside playing. i think that when people say, "oh, they're talking now, they wanted privacy," they don't understand that there is a difference between being a public figure who wants to have some boundaries and not to be consistently intruded upon, versus being private. one of the points that oprah said was one of the difficulties, was shortening down the interview which actually lasted three hours and 20 minutes, down to one hour and 20, so one can only imagine what might actually have ended up being on the cutting room floor. she was asked whether she had spoken to either prince harry or meghan since the interview was aired and she said no, she was hoping to speak to them later today, but she had a text from meghan asking, how's it going? so what has the public response been to the interview? adina campbell has been gauging reaction. it was one of the biggest tv events of the year. as millions of us worldwide watched the fairy tale wedding of prince harry and meghan markle, three years later it is a very different story. this time millions of people tuned in overnight to watch the couple open up to oprah winfrey about their lives in the royal family. it was uncomfortable viewing, with allegations of racism aimed at their son, archie. the duchess of sussex revealed, when she was five months pregnant, there were conversations and concerns within the royal family about how dark their son's skin would be. when we talk about this issue, particularly the issue of members of the royal family having conversations about the colour of archie's skin, that is racist. for those who would like to see that as, "oh, it'sjust family having a conversation," no, it's not. and that kind of thinking normalises racism. this is without doubt one of the most staggering interviews given by any members of the royal family, with front—page headlines in many of today's papers. and it is all over social media, dividing opinion with an outpouring of heated discussions about race. tennis star serena williams, one of meghan's closest friends, and also a guest at their wedding, has shown her support on twitter. she said... but some royal biographers are not convinced by what the couple had to say. it was a very soft serving, soapy interview in meghan's favour. nobody asked her about her relationship with her father. nobody asked her the astonishing fact that she only had one member of her family at her wedding. this is a woman who seems to make a habit of falling out with people. but none of meghan's real behaviour was questioned. it was an absolute exercise in torching the house of windsor and i came away with a very distasteful taste in my mouth. while friends of prince harry say it is important to be clear about what was said in the interview. there is a distinction between the royal family and the institution. the royal family, meghan only had praise for them. however, the institution, the officials, i think they are the ones that have come out quite bad in this interview. and in the states, the couple's interview is the most talked about story of the day so far. back here, labour is calling for buckingham palace to investigate an allegation of racism. adina campbell, bbc news. we will have much more on this throughout the afternoon. today marks the first stage of the prime minister's roadmap out of lockdown for england. all schools and colleges in england can now reopen. millions of children have gone back to school after more than two months studying at home. most secondary schools started with a phased return this week — but they must take coronavirus tests in order to be allowed into school. face coverings are being recommended for secondary students in the classroom and for walking between classes. staying with england, university students can return for practical courses and there will be a review by the end of the easter holidays for all other students. until last night, you could only meet one person outside for exercise. but now, two people from different households can meet outside for recreation, which can include "a coffee on a bench" or a picnic. and care home residents can now receive visitors — one nominated person can visit as long as they wear ppe and get a negative result from a lateral flow test. physical contact will need to be kept to a minimum. the 'stay at home rule' is still in place. meanwhile, in northern ireland, the youngest three years of school returned today. a review of current measures will take place on the 18th of march. in wales, children aged three to seven also returned to school this morning. it's hoped older primary age groups — and secondary school pupils preparing for exams — will return next monday. and in scotland years one to three have been back to school for the past fortnight. the remaining primary school years and some secondary school pupils will return from next week. this all comes as figures suggest that attitudes towards the vaccine are significantly more positive now compared to in december, according to the office for national statistics. 94% of those surveyed were positive about the vaccine, up from 78% in december when the data was first collected. younger adults, black and black british adults, renters, lower earners and those living in the most deprived areas are also more likely to be hesitant. with more on the opening of schools, here's sean dilley. and then we're going to go up one of your nostrils... for pupils at the bexleyheath academy in south—east london, it's an experience that may feel more medical in nature than traditionally educational, but it is the new normal, at least for now. oh, that is awful. there is no doubt that the lateral flow tests cause slight discomfort, but there's a real sense here that students are prepared to do whatever is necessary to protect others. we would rather be safe than not so, we've just got to do what we have to do, and if we have to wear masks, we have to wear masks. i'm prepared to do it, i'm happy to do it, i but i think the whole process is a bit nerve—racking. - hopefully within a few weeks i will get used i to the feeling and will be able to prepare myself before. i like all secondary schools in england, pupils will be offered three on—site tests in the first two weeks, and followed by twice weekly home tests after that. secondary school students are asked to wear facemasks where social distancing is not possible. some teachers say government guidance on the matter could be stronger, but it's not a concern here. facemasks in classrooms, that is new from today and we are encouraging all of our students to wear a face covering. we have been overwhelmingly positive in the response from our students that are cooperating with that request. primary school pupils in england are not being asked to wear masks or take tests. for parents, there is palpable relief after more than two months of remote learning from those children. i think it's essential now that we try to get back some sort of normality. i think, obviously, the children need it. we all need to get back to some sort of routine. i'm very reassured that the transition from being in lockdown at home, studying online, to being back in school will be a really smooth transition, hopefully. he doesn't seem worried. he has been seeing his teachers every day online, and the students. on a school visit in essex, labour has launched a campaign for universal breakfast clubs to help children in england catch up on lost learning. they make a huge difference, notjust in learning but also social development. we want to see that properly funded and available for all children to help in particular with the catchup that is needed. the government says reopening of english schools to all pupils is an important first step in lifting lockdown restrictions. this is the first step on that road map to recovery. we have always prioritised children. we have said that schools will be the last to close, and the first to open. it is so important for young people's mental health and well—being. in northern ireland, younger primary schoolchildren are also returning today. in scotland and wales, younger primary pupils returned last month, with phased returns for more pupils from the 15th of march. the government says it will monitor the reopening of schools in england closely, but it is clear it does not want to restrict attendance in future. let's speak to our political correspondent, helen catt. the correspondent, helen catt. government is getting knots the government is getting tied up in knots about testing and when a positive test is followed by a negative test, which when you

and after that children will be asked to test themselves with lateral flow tests twice a week and that is where the confusion comes in, if you have a positive lateralflow comes in, if you have a positive lateral flow test at home, downing street has said if you get one of those you will be sent what is known as a pcr test, that are assessed in as a pcr test, that are assessed in a lab, to follow up on that and if that comes back positive, then yes you will have to stay—at—home and i state but if it comes back negative your child will be able to return to school —— and isolate. haifa

that this has gone i be some relief that this has gone ahead as planned today, and the government was always insistent it wanted all schools to reopen to all children in england from today and the fact that seems to have happened, that would be a relief, but keeping them open is going to be key. making sure the testing programmes do work and that the other mitigations do work that have been put in place, notjust for keeping schools open, but then for moving through the road map, the reason we have these big blocks of weeks between each step is so the government can monitor the data and see what is happening in terms of infections and see what is happening with the virus when each thing happens so there will be a case of seeing what happens now schools are back. the other loosening planned in for the 29th of march, social restrictions being loosened, and from today we have a small tweak to restrictions whereby you can now go and meet a friend in a park in a public space for recreation, not just exercise, so you can sit down and have a coffee on a park bench which you couldn't before. on the 29th of march we will have a loosening in terms of how many people you can meet outdoors but once you start to move through the steps, the 12th of april, you are looking at nonessential shops reopening, that going ahead on the 12th of april is still conditional on the conditions are still being met, making sure and following the data, looking at the data and making sure it is still ok to proceed with the next step. what happens in the next few weeks, the government will be monitoring very closely, keeping a real eye on. be monitoring very closely, keeping a real eye om— a real eye on. thanks for 'oining us. restrictions have been eased in care homes in england. each resident will be allowed one person who can visit them indoors — and they'll be able to hold hands, although hugs and kisses remain forbidden. luxmy gopal reports. we've waited a long time, haven't we? to come and do this. a simple act, a year ago taken for granted, now a huge step in reuniting people with their loved ones. from today, people in care homes in england can, for the first time since the pandemic started, meet family or friends indoors, face—to—face and hold hands, separated only by gloves, whereas, previously, visits had to be from behind screens or a window, which was the only way ann could see her mother kathleen until now. lovely. it's just lovely. in fact, we all got rather emotional. but yeah, i got more response than i would get from her normally through the window. it still isn't much, but it is something. families face difficult decisions as, barring exceptional circumstances, only one person can be the visitor. my sister, ann, has been my mum's primary carer before she was admitted into the home. she lived on site on the farm, so she saw her day—to—day, so itjust came naturally that she was the first one to be allowed in. i do believe it will not be long before other family members are allowed. so, i'm prepared to wait that little bit longer cos my turn will come. this is the first cautious step in opening up care homes, and not without risk. and the extra safety measures demand extra resources. this chain of care homes has had to recruit two new staff just to oversee the visits and the lateral flow testing. it's so pleasing to see those loved ones reunited, so i think it's worth it. ijust hope that others will move forward, but we ask the government for a bit more support in helping us make sure that we can keep the visiting going because fitting everyone in has its challenges. everyone wants a visit. it's mother's day soon, so there has been tremendous demand. the visits are at the discretion of individual care homes, and the government says further physical contact such as hugging is too much of a covid risk to be allowed. but for hundreds of thousands of families today, while they cannot hold their loved ones close, just being able to hold their hands after months of separation is close enough. luxmy gopal, bbc news, scarborough. let's get more now on the reopening of schools, joining me now is thejoint secretary of the national education union, dr mary bousted. thanks forjoining us. children are back at school, other schools ready? schools have put in a huge amount of work to be ready to welcome children back and in some schools there will be a stake return of secondary school pupils because they are still engaged in the situation with lateral flow test but all primary school children are back today —— a

school leaders, they have been heroes and heroines, they have gone in and fill the gap left by government who have done too little and when they have done too little and when they have done things it's been too late. they still have not put in the health and safety measures which they could have done to make schools safer and we hope this will not, there won't be another knockdown and schools won't be closed again, but if they are that is because the government has not act firmly enough to put in health and safety measures. which would be what? _ health and safety measures. which would be

leaders at all, when they are trying to enforce the government's and guidelines which —— own guidelines which say masks to help repress the virus, but also having ventilation units in every classroom with a carbon filters so there is less airborne transmission of the virus, there is a host of things which the government could have done, and the government could have done, and the government says, school is a priority and that is easy to say but if they really are, the government should have done much more. in terms of what goes — should have done much more. in terms of what goes on — should

as possible working with the exam boards, but again, it was predicted in september that there was a strong possibility that there was a strong possibility that exams would not take place again this year, and again government should have been working from september, but instead they carried on saying that exams would happen, when it became increasingly apparent they wouldn't, and then again it has been a last—minute rush. this is yet another story of too little too late. the rush. this is yet another story of too little too late.— too little too late. the report recovery package, _ too

youngest woman to row solo across an ocean has told the duchess of cambridge she hopes her feat changes perspectives about what women can achieve. jasmine harrison is 21 and completed the 3,000—mile challenge from la gomera in the canary islands to antigua in 70 days, three hours and 48 minutes. the duchess spoke to her via video call. to do a challenge like this needs all the elements and all those positive sides to our mental health and our minds to see a challenge like this through, and it is great to see such an amazing display of that through the challenge you have just done, it should be really celebrated. to be in the peace of the ocean for so many days, i think you really get to appreciate the world that we live in, in a way that you can't when life is busy, as it is. so it has been great speaking to you, but the other side to what you are doing i think is really important to talk about, which is inspiring loads of other young women and young girls to continue in your footsteps. and do you hope to inspire them, and do you hope to, through what you have achieved, hope to leave a legacy behind you, in that regard? yeah. i hope to inspire, inspire is a very big word, i think, and it's almost like i feel i am not quite worthy of inspiring people. after doing all that rowing! yeah! but i want to, just more, i want to show people that it is possible just to educate and say, look, you can do something if you want. i've shown you that this can be done, and so anything else that you thought maybe you couldn't do. do it — now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. the week has got off to a relatively quiet start but it looks like this is just the calm before the storm. livelier weather to come, spells of rain and very strong winds especially around the middle part of the week. as we head into the evening and tonight, we will see a lot of cloud, the odd spot of rain, but for parts of wales, the midlands and southern counties of england, with clear skies it will get quite cold, towns and cities down around freezing or below, some spots in the countryside down to —3 or “4. milder elsewhere but with a lot of cloud to start tomorrow morning, again some mistiness and the odd spot of rain, and as we go through the day the winds picking up over western areas with outbreaks of rain arriving in northern ireland and western scotland. highs of 9—12, pretty windy through tuesday night and into wednesday, and then windier still on wednesday into thursday, and that could well cause some disruption. the headlines — the duchess of sussex tells american tv that her treatment by the royal family led her to contemplate suicide. she tells oprah winfrey that one unnamed family member raised questions about the skin colour of her son archie. oprah winfrey has since said harry wanted to clarify that it was not the queen or prince philip who made the comments about archie's skin. she also addressed the couple's desire for privacy. millions of children in england go back to school — borisjohnson describes it as an important first step towards a "sense of normality". holding hands at last — care home residents in england are now allowed one person who can visit them indoors — but no hugs yet. we'll be hearing from the prime minister later — he's expected to lead a briefing at four o'clock — following day one of the first stage of the road map out of lockdown for england. and on international women's day — we look at new technology being introduced to help female athletes perform better. the trial of a former police officer accused of the murder of george floyd in the united states will begin with jury selection today. derek chauvin faces charges of second—degree murder and manslaughter after being filmed with his knee on mr floyd's neck in minneapolis last may. the incident sparked black lives matter protests around the world. barbara plett usher reports from minneapolis, and a warning, her report does contain distressing images. # we live all the time. keep it straight, keep it raw. that's what they say in krump. in a time of raw emotions, this fantastically physical street dance is a cathartic release. krumping has helped them work through their anger and pain over george floyd's death, and it will help them deal with the trial of the man charged in the killing, derek chauvin. however this trial is going to end will be really big, either on the bad side or the good side. and i believe that it shows us how much our government cares about us, or not. the graphic video of the white police officer pinning down the black man has made this perhaps the most famous prosecution of police brutality in us history. i can't breathe! nojustice! no peace! protests demanding racialjustice and police reform rolled across the country — peaceful by day, but sometimes violent by night. in minneapolis, there was extraordinary damage. elias has managed to restock the drugs in his pharmacy, but his business is still recovering. last year, he watched helplessly by security camera as it was ransacked. wow, what a mess. completely trashed? yes. elias and his wife mawerdi had invested their lives and savings in the pharmacyjust eight months before the unrest. the trial, it kind of brings _ a nervousness and brings back some of the flashbacks of what happened in the past during the civil unrest. i but, at the same time, - we feel like it's probably part of a little bit of the price that we pay forjustice. i justice for george, the rallying cry that shaped a movement, and is now facing a moment of reckoning. trials in police killings are rare, in a nation that seldom punishes cops for allegations of abusive behaviour. once again, minneapolis is in the national spotlight. this time, as a test case for the country on whether anything's changed about holding police officers to account for the way they use force. and about attitudes towards racism and policing in america. barbara plett usher, bbc news, minneapolis. thejudge has the judge has delayed the start of that trial until tomorrow morning. detectives searching for a missing woman in south london are detectives searching for a

chancellor and foreign secretary as part of a three—day visit to europe to strengthen global ambition ahead of major climate meetings this year. the welsh government has confirmed that all primary school children will be back in classrooms next week. their education secretary kirsty williams has been briefing reporters on the easing of lockdown measures. next week, we will see the rest of our primary school pupils return to school, as well as groups of learners in secondary, and more couege learners in secondary, and more college students. schools will also have the flexibility to bring in pupils in years 12 to progress to the next stages of their learning and also giving schools additional flexibility so that learners in years seven, eight and nine are given the opportunity to check in and spend some valuable time in school with their teachers, reacquainting themselves with that environment. it is still my expectation that if the conditions allow, we would see a full return of allow, we would see a full return of all learners after the easter break. now, we all know that it has been a tough 12 months for our young people, being away from their friends and adjusting to studying at home, and i have seen terrific work that schools and colleges have done to ensure that learning has continued, while putting in place preparations so that the return of learners is safe and the return to the classroom is as smooth as possible. and i'm so very grateful for school, college and local authority staff for also embracing the testing programme in our schools. by the end of this week, more than 5.5 million lateral flow tests will have been distributed to schools, colleges and child care settings across wales, which will be an important measure to provide further assurance at this time. but i also know that extra help is needed this year, especially for learners at key stages in their academic careers, and indeed their lives. last summer, i announced an extra £29 million to recruit, recover and raise standards. i set a target to recruit an additional 900 teachers or teaching assistants to provide more support for learners during the pandemic, and i'm pleased to report that, so far, the equivalent of 1800 full—time staff members have been recruited, doubled to our original target. but today, i can confirm that this support will go even further, as i am announcing today an extra £72 million to ensure our schools settings get the support they need. this takes our support for learning recovery to over £112 million during the pandemic. 28 people have been arrested after crowds of fans gathered in glasgow yesterday to celebrate rangers winning the scottish premiership. large numbers of supporters made their way to ibrox stadium and glasgow's

our 36 billion commitment by 2024, billion increase as part of our 34 billion commitment by 2024, 25 and £3 billion for supporting the recovery and reducing waiting lists. as part of this we are increasing the number of staff in the nhs with over 6500 more doctors, 10,600 more nurses and over 18,700 more health support workers in the nhs now than a year ago. we are on track to have 50,000 more nurses in the nhs before the end of parliament. last week we submitted our evidence to the nhs pay review bodies. these are independent advisory body is made up of industry experts. their recommendations are based on an assessment of evidence from a range of stakeholders, including trade unions. they will report their recommendations in the late spring and we will carefully consider them when we receive them. i can assure the house that we are committed to the house that we are committed to the nhs and the amazing people who work in it. just as they have been so vital throughout this pandemic, they will continue to be the very essence of our health service, together with all those who work in social care as we come through this pandemic and build our health and care system for the future. jonathan ashworth. where _ care system for the future. jonathan ashworth. where is _ care system for the future. jonathan ashworth. where is the _ care system for the future. jonathan

secretary of state here to defend a budget that puts up tax for hard—working families and cuts pay for hard—working nurses? the secretary of state has stood at the dispatch box repeated waxing lyrical, describing nhs staff as heroes, saying they are the very best of us, now he is cutting nurses pgy- best of us, now he is cutting nurses pay. last summer, when asked by andrew marr if nurses deserved a real terms pay rise he replied, well, of course. i want to see people properly rewarded. absolutely. now, he is cutting nurses pay. last year, he brought to this house legislation to put into law the nhs long term plan. he said from that dispatch box that his legislation represented certainty for the nhs about a minimum funding level over the next four years and certainty for the 1.4 million colleagues who work in our health service. that long term plan was based on a 2.1% pay increase for all nhs staff. every tory mp voted for it. the minister voted for it and now every tory mp is cutting nurses pgy- now every tory mp is cutting nurses pay. and by the way, she talks about the budget, where is the chancellor? where is his glossy tweets, where is his video? why didn't he mention it in the budget that he was cutting nurses pay? why did he sneak it out the day before in the small print? and this, mr speaker, is the time when our nhs staff are more pressured than ever before. in the midst of the biggest health crisis for a century, when there are 100,000 shortages, what does she think this will do to the vacancy rates to be cutting the pay of nhs staff? perhaps she can tell us? she talks about the pay review body, but she didn't guarantee that they will implement any real terms pay rise that the pay review body recommends. why is that? because ministers have already made up their minds and that is to cut in real terms, nhs pay in a pandemic. our nhs staff deserve so much better, mr speaker. if this government doesn't deliver a pay rise itch is once again that you simply cannot trust the tories with the nhs. ~ , simply cannot trust the tories with the nhs.- thank - simply cannot trust the tories with the nhs.- thank you, i simply cannot trust the
