hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. i'm shaun ley a. security forces in myanmar have killed at least 21 people in yangon in one of the deadliest days since huge demonstrations began against the military coup last month. a police officer is also reported to have died as clashes between the military and anti—coup protesters continue for a sixth week. martial law has been declared in two areas of yangon, and after two china owned factories were attacked, beijing has asked the authorities to protect its businesses. our diplomatic correspondent. our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. they have built themselves barricades, they have fashioned makeshift shields. but when the security forces opened fire, there was nothing to do but run. this was the scene in myanmar�*s biggest city, yangon, where more than 20 people are reported to have died. some here see china as supporting myanmar�*s military rulers, and several chinese—owned factories were set on fire. so, troops were sent in and martial law for two districts was declared on state tv. there were fatal clashes elsewhere in myanmar. the now—familiar round of tear gas, rubber bullets and gunfire and the ever—rising death toll. and yet for all the bloodshed, the pro—democracy campaigners keep coming. it's now almost six weeks since the army seized power, but they have yet to break the will of those taking to the streets. translation: we have to fight for our future. l i don't accept the military coup. for some campaigners, it's an afternoon to wave placards and the now—familiar three fingered salute, but others seem ready to fight fire with fire. this bloody war of attrition has some way to go. james landale, bbc news. yangon is where sunday's clashes took place. bbc burmese�*s nyein chan aye is there. deadly crackdowns on previous days cannot stop these people taking to the streets again here in myanmar. the demonstrations continue in the biggest cities of yangon, mandalay and as well in the country and again they are met with force by the military regime. there are reports of crackdowns in a number of places, including bago, about 50 miles away from here. a number of people were reportedly killed and several more injured. today is the 42nd day since the military takeover last month. the death toll in the demonstration against the regime already exceeded 80. more than a dozen unarmed protesters were reported to have been killed over the past 2a hours. people here feel like words are not enough to stop the regime's brutality. they are now becoming more frustrated than ever because the international sanctions or resolution or statements so far cannot prevent all the killings. people feel helpless, but all the same, they are hopeful with determination, particularly the younger generation, who have realised that they have to rely on themselves to stand up against the military. this is nyein chan aye, bbc news, yangon, myanmar. the british prime minister boris johnson has said he's �*deeply concerned' at images of police officers in london forcibly breaking up a vigil in memory of sarah everard, a woman allegedly murdered by a police officer. and he'll chair a meeting of senior officials to discuss violence against women. london's police chief says she won't resign and says coronavirus restrictions must be observed. that was the reason the vigil was broken up. mark easton reports. within moments of being taken, this picture of police holding down a woman on clapham common last night became a symbol of female defiance against male aggression. as darkness descended on the vigil for sarah everard, what had been a peaceful and respectful demonstration of female solidarity turned ugly. police moved in to disperse the crowd, there was pushing and shoving, with a number of women taken away in handcuffs. four of them were arrested for public order and coronavirus regulation breaches — among them, daina. they put me in the handcuffs. all i was thinking was i wanted to stand with other women. i had a fear brewing for years for a very young age, we're aware of the abuse and violence against women. the? age, we're

ordered the government's major disaster agency to assist with the surge of migrant children arriving at the us—mexico border. there were a record number of children — 3,200 — being held in us immigration facilities on the us southern border with mexico as of march 8th. the federal emergency management agency will spend the next three months helping to manage and care for children arriving without parents or legal guardians. government figures show hundreds of minors are crossing the border each day. alfredo corchado has covered mexico for many years, and is currently the us—mexico border correspondent for the dallas morning news. he explained why there's been this surge in migrant arrivals. several factors. one is a sense of hope in the biden administration. a sense that they may have a chance, and opportunity. but also what's driving them is factors like the economy, climate change, violence, and more and more we are seeing the after—effects of the pandemic. people were interviewed on the us mexico border saying the situation is such that they have no choice but to try to make the journey north. if you talk to immigrant applicants on the ground, they say they are not ready to receive these kinds of numbers. what's really at work here, we have all these well—organised organisations, smuggling organisations who take whatever little messages coming from the biden administration and send their own message to the migrants are saying now is the time to come this is the opportunity. it's really hard for the administration to say the border�*s not open when you have these organisations are saying, this is the moment for you. obviously it's after winter, it's march, spring is coming and you have people who feel like it doesn't get better than this opportunity. there is a lot of money behind the organisations. so there's a lot of incentive for them to send them oftentimes on a very desperate, long journey. there was a lot of concern about overcrowding in south texas, the rio grande valley. so shelters in el paso had been designated to help ease the overcrowding. they were expecting to receive up to 270 migrants a day. but it happened that many of them are not even going to the shelters. instead the cpb, the customs and border protection, is sending some migrants to shelters, but many others are being expelled into mexico right across the border. the federal emergency management agency will spend the next three doctors in france say they're experiencing the same emergency situation as in march last year, when the pandemic started. the health sector is overwhelmed by new covid cases. in the paris region intensive care beds are almost completely full. patients are now being sent out of paris to bordeaux or even belgium.

has become the latest eu country to suspend its rollout of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine. officials said the decision was based on reports from denmark and norway about side affects including blood clots. but they emphasised the move was precautionary and no causal link had been established with the vaccine. 43,000 vacccine appointments will be cancelled. it follows a similar move by ireland earlier on sunday. let's look at some of the day's other news. a british—iranian woman, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who has just completed a five—year prison sentence in tehran, has appeared in court to face new charges. she's accused of propaganda against iran, including taking part in a demonstration in london 12 years ago. the british government has demanded her release. several thousand people have taken part in a march through the paris suburb of argenteuil in honour of a schoolgirl allegedly thrown off a bridge to drown in the river seine. friends of 14—year—old alisha led the procession. two teenage classmates are being held on suspicion of her murder last monday. the biden administration says it has been trying to contact north korea since february, but there has been no response. a senior official said the white house had attempted to reach pyongyang in several different ways to try to prevent a possible escalation in tensions. joe biden is expected to release details of his policy for north korea in the coming weeks. recent months have seen tensions escalate between china and the west over media coverage. in february, the english—language satellite news channel, the china global television network, had it's license revoked by the uk had its license revoked by the uk regulator, and in retaliation, bbc world news has been banned from broadcasting in china. there have also been tit—for—tat expulsions ofjournalists, in both the united states and china, in the past year. 0ur media editor, amol rajan, reports on how beijing, is trying to control, public

angry and reports that led to an international outcry and won awards. and turned back at makeshift barriers and roadblocks. the bbc team in beijing often face hostility, roaming around the country is

the pandemic, it won't be the same as usual. sophie long has been speaking to a couple of first—time nominees. # shining through the city with a little funk and soul # so i'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa—oh—oh...# dynamite immediately became a record—breaking song on multiple platforms for k—pop band bts. it's earned a grammy nomination for them and for the london duo who wrote it. wow, we've got a grammy nomination. so, getting a grammy nom on a song that we wrote over zoom in lockdown and in the midst of a pandemic has just got to be a silver lining to any dark cloud and any terrible year, so, yeah, we're just so, so happy. it wasjust, like, a mad like... surreal, yeah. ..surreal 20 minutes of watching it and a buzz, and then suddenly it was just like — back to real life! back to work, yeah. keep it moving. david and jessica have written hundreds of songs together. they kind of knew this was a little different. we understood how huge bts were. we knew that it was their first ever english—speaking song, which was a major thing that we were like, "i think this is it." and then it only got more and more exciting when we see the visual, we see the video, and we was like, "this is like nothing we could ever imagine." it's just the levels of this is like nothing that we've ever worked on before. in los angeles, the stage is being set for bts to perform on sunday night, but due to the pandemic, jessica and david will be watching thousands of miles away in london. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. what you're not going to look like? i will be watching it in

there were boycotting, the records of the year, the songs of the year, often come from country artist or rock people or pop. you rarely see r&b act, so people want to know why. you do see a breath of nominations, a lot of people are going to perform like taylor swift, carty b, but they've never been able to break the really big categories. i think that's where a lot of the upset is coming from.

very much. you're watching bbc world news. around two million vulnerable people are being sent texts from nhs england this weekend, urging them to book their coronavirus vaccination. those with pre—existing medical conditions such as diabetes and certain types of cancer, who've not yet received a letterfrom their gp, will be able to make an appointment. here's our health correspondent, anna collinson. ciara lawrence has a learning disability, she was nervous about getting vaccinated so on the day, told the nurse. i told her that i didn't like needles and she prepared it away from me and she came from behind me, and as she was doing it my husband was there to talk to me and distract me. my message for those people who are afraid of having the covid jab is don't be worried, don't be scared. there are calls for millions more vulnerable people with underlying health conditions to follow ciara's lead. more than 7 million people are in group six and have been prioritised because they're more likely to become seriously unwell from coronavirus. the group includes those with underlying health conditions like cancer and heart disease, their carers, and people with learning disabilities. as part of a renewed call to help some of the most vulnerable, leading charities including mencap have published an open letter urging them to consider booking their coronavirus jab. 0verall, more than 24 million people have now been vaccinated, but there's still a long way to go. this morning, the republic of ireland announced it was suspending using the oxford/astrazeneca jab afterfour people in norway developed blood clots. but the uk's regulator the mhra insists available evidence did not suggest the vaccine was the cause. the vaccine roll—out has been a success but that doesn't mean covid—i9 will not continue to pose a threat. we need also to recognise that this is a virus that isn't going to go away and i have no doubt that in the autumn, there will be a further wave of infections. so as restrictions continue to be lifted, like the reopening of schools in england this week, the scientific community will be watching the data closely for any causes for concern. anna collinson, bbc news. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers. that's coming up after the headlines at ii.30pm. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. last week, the uk took quite a battering from strong winds. there was some heavy rain at times, too, and we spent a lot of time talking about low pressure. for the week ahead, the biggest difference will be lighter winds and we're going to be focusing on high pressure trying to build in. this high here pushing up from the southwest. it's not an entirely straightforward story, though. we will see some weak weather fronts running into the north of our high. that will mean some showery rain perhaps across the southeast of england first thing on monday, and then some more cloud generally pushing into the west as the day goes on. some rain across northern ireland, a little bit for western scotland, wales and the southwest on monday afternoon. the winds much lighter than we've been used to. the sunshine in the east should just about cling on until the evening. temperatures about where we'd expect for the time of year, perhaps a degree or so above. through monday evening, over night into tuesday, the warm weather front continues to push its way eastwards across the uk. this cold front pushes down from the north, but the air around it is actually coming from the atlantic, so don't be too concerned about the temperatures falling behind this front as it slides south during tuesday. some cloud, some light rain across england and wales first thing, but a lot of sunshine come the afternoon, and our temperatures looking pretty healthy — perhaps up to 14 degrees. mayjust get a bit of cloud lingering across the southeast of england. it could turn a little chilly overnight tuesday into wednesday with clear skies under the high, but for wednesday, the high well—established, a lot of sunshine on the way. perhaps a little bit more cloud at times into the far east of england. more cloud for scotland could give us the odd light shower here. but with plenty of sunshine, a fine day with temperatures up to maybe 12 or 13 degrees again. from midweek onwards, though, particularly wednesday night, quite a significant change to come. the high's still there, but this low runs down into scandinavia and it switches our wind direction to a northerly or northeasterly. and as it does so, we not only see the wind strengthening, but we see much colder airflooding in. we lose that mild air that came from the atlantic, and it's replaced by pretty cold, arctic air for thursday and friday. so, here's your week. we start off feeling pretty springlike — a lot of fine weather and some sunshine. by the end of the week, though, it could start to feel quite chilly, potentially with rather rural northeasterly wind.
