you were pretty insistent, actually. this year's oscar nominations are announced with many brits, including carey mulligan, up for the top acting prizes. the grammy goes to beyonce. and beyonce makes grammys history — breaking the record for the most awards ever won by a woman, and there's british success for harry styles and dua lipa. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the prime minister has said the country is united in shock and grief at the killing of sarah everard. borisjohnson said her death had unleashed a wave of feeling about the safety of women in britain, and insisted the government would work to ensure that women had confidence in the justice system. following strong criticism of the police�*s handling of saturday's vigil in london, mrjohnson said he continued to back the metropolitan police chief, cressida dick, and said there would be an investigation into what happened. here's our correspondent, richard galpin. the kidnap and murder of sarah everard has triggered both anger and fear. but also a determination amongst many women to speak out and take action. this vigil at the weekend going ahead despite being banned for covid reasons. and later on, the police moved in, prompting criticism they had been heavy—handed in their approach to those taking part. as it got darker, we were standing further back to find a place to lay my candle and i could see groups of police officers, groups of fluorescent yellow dotted around and as it got darker, that's when they formed lines and made their move in. and there was no other change in atmosphere, it was purely from them. it was purely that they provoked it. there have been calls for the metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick, to resign in the wake of what's happened. but she has rejected this and has defended the way police have handled the situation. an independent inquiry has been set up. we have to see the context of the difficult situation that the police find themselves in. we need to know more about saturday night and, obviously, this independent review will look into that. but you know, cressida dick is an officer of superlative achievement in her life and she's been close to some incredibly successful investigations and i know she is very dedicated and committed to this issue of dealing with violence against women and girls in as assertive way as we possibly can. and today, the prime minister is holding a meeting of the governement�*s crime and justice task force. the meeting will look into what further action can be taken to ensure women are safe on the streets of this country. we've got to recognise that the tragedy, the horrific crime that we've seen in the case of sarah everard has triggered, has unleashed a wave of feeling from people, from women above all, who do worry about their safety at night. in parliament today, mps will discuss the police, crime, sentencing and courts bill which critics say could lead to further restrictions on people's right to protest. but there is nothing about the safety of women, despite what has happened. we are voting against it at second reading, which is the stage at the moment. we want to try and improve it in committee and there are some things in there we've been campaigning forfor a long time and are good. and there are some things in there we like the look of but we think we can improve. but no mention of women in a bill of this kind after what's happened is unacceptable. and that means the pressure on the police and the government to act decisively after what has happened is only likely to increase. richard galpin, bbc news. our political correspondent damian grammaticas is at westminster. the prime minister, the home secretary, have made it clear they are standing by the met police commissioner, even though there is deep unease at the scenes at the weekend. , . ., ., . .,, weekend. they have and have chosen their words carefully, _ weekend. they have and have chosen their

because they have said they found the scene distressing comedy images saw the footage, as they have described it, distressing, and concerning. the home secretary said there were questions to be asked about that. the prime minister today said that although he found there were concerns, he was asked, does dame cressida dick, the metropolitan police commissioner have your back on, and he said yes, she does, just as the police minister did as well. but borisjohnson also then said there was this enquiry by the inspectorate of constabulary, it is meant to be an independent enquiry and it will take a couple of weeks, but it seems it will look at the policing of the event, so not the overall handling, may be, by dane cressida dick. but borisjohnson said it was important that women had, he said, confidence that if they made a serious complaint it would be dealt with, and their security concerns were heard. the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, he too didn't call for cressida dick to resign, he declined to take the opportunity to do that. he said, going further, he said he thought it was the wrong decision and the wrong approach that the policing of the event on saturday, and the way the police moved in. he too called it deeply distressing but did not say the police commissioner should go. we did not say the police commissioner should no. ~ ., ., ., should go. we will hear

around 3:30pm when she will address that, and presumably address theissue address that, and presumably address the issue of the fact she has called for this independent enquiry, or instituted this independent enquiry and called for them to look at the events in the handling of it. separately, a little bit later, we have the bill coming forward and this has been prepared for a long time, dealing with a range of issues, the police, crime and sentencing bill. the labour party have said they will not now support it. keir starmersaid have said they will not now support it. keir starmer said today that's because the bill contains a lot about statues and effectively changing the sentencing possible for those who deface things like war memorials and statues. but it says nothing at all about women and violence against women. on that the government and borisjohnson saying there will be tougher sentences for rapists, no early release for violent offenders and things like that. the other reason the labour party say they will not support it is this issue about curbing the right to protest, they say. quite a lot of legal figures have raise that question as well. the government says it is not about that, it is about dealing with protests that cause serious disruption, things we have seen like extinction rebellion protests, people gluing themselves to railing and climbing on board trains, things that might disrupt large numbers of commuters, commercial activity, but it is the wording of the bill that is causing a lot of concern about issues with protests that might cause annoyance or disruption, i think is how the wording works.— or disruption, i think is how the wordin. works. ., , ., ., , wording works. damian grammaticas, olitical wording works. damian grammaticas, political

serious sexual offences have lost their case in the court of appeal. they had claimed that a change of policy had meant rape victims were being let down, and that the number of prosecutions had "collapsed." but the cps said there'd been no recent change in their approach. the netherlands is the latest country to suspend the use of the oxford—astrazeneca coronavirus vaccine, over concerns about possible side—effects. some people have developed blood clots after having the jabs, but european regulators and the world health organization say there's no evidence they're linked to the vaccine. about 17 million people in europe and the uk have received the astrazeneca vaccine, and the company says fewer than a0 have had clots. anna collinson reports. vaccines are seen as the single most effective way to reduce coronavirus deaths and severe illness, but a growing number of mostly european countries have suspended using the oxford—astrazeneca jab after concerns around cases of blood clots. it's seen by many as a surprising move during a pandemic based on no clear evidence. i think we're right in this country to press on. we will keep monitoring this and if there's any safety signals we are concerned about we would let the public know straight away. but at the moment the message is absolutely clear, go and get your vaccine if offered. the netherlands is the latest country to announce a suspension, calling it precautionary after last week's reports of possible side—effects emerged from norway and denmark. but astrazeneca has pushed back, saying more than 17 million people in the european union and the uk have received its jab, and fewer than a0 cases of blood clots been reported. this number may be higher, as not all cases are recorded and there will be thousands of patients who will have had clots after their jab just by chance. but the uk and the european medical regulators insist there is no evidence suggesting the vaccine poses an increased risk and are reviewing the data. it's absolutely critical that we don't have a problem of not vaccinating people and have the balance of a huge risk, the known risk of covid, against what appears so far from the data that we've got from the regulators, no signal of a problem. after a brief pause, thailand has confirmed it will once again start using the astrazeneca vaccine from tomorrow, with its prime ministerfirst in line. while the dutch government says it can't allow any doubt, scientists have called the suspensions super cautious and questioned whether it is a disproportionate response. anna collinson, bbc news. earlier today i asked our medical editor, fergus walsh, what we should make of this suspension. the safety of vaccines has to be absolutely paramount, but there is no evidence that the astrazeneca vaccine is causing blood clots. indeed, astrazeneca has done an analysis of over 10 million jabs and it has found that you are more likely to have a clot in the general population than if you've had the jab. because clots are quite common. they can be very dangerous if they go into the lungs and cause a clot there, a pulmonary embolism, and they can be also serious if you get one in your leg, what's called a deep vein thrombosis. now, this all links into a rather chequered history of the astrazeneca oxford vaccine in europe. they were slow to adopt the vaccine, several countries restricted it initially only for younger people. president macron even called it quasi—ineffective in older people. and now reversed that decision. indeed, france and germany are two of the big countries that are carrying on now with the astrazeneca vaccine. i have had my vaccine yesterday. it was the astrazeneca, and when i was down there, people were happily rolling up their sleeves and having the jab. and maintaining public confidence in the whole vaccination programme is absolutely vital. our medical editor fergus walsh. businesses, shops and schools are closing across much of italy — as the country battles a third wave of coronavirus. it's one of several european countries suffering a new rise in infections, amid delays to their vaccination programme. restrictions will extend across the whole country over easter, as mark lowen reports. the beautiful blue skies of milan belie the dark clouds of covid gathering yet again, because, just over a year since italy became the first country in the world to impose a national lockdown, it is shutting its doors once again. this region, lombardy, the original epicentre of the first wave, is now one of 11 regions in italy, over half the country, in which schools, shops, restaurants are closing as part of a red zone, and for three days across the easter holiday, the whole of italy will become a red zone, so there will be closures right across the country. italy is now in a third wave of the virus, with infections likely to peak in six or seven days, and while some here support the tightening of the measures, for many, well, they feel at the end of their tether. we know that it is necessary but we are very tired, so i hope that this is the last one. we feel pretty dreadful. it is like back to square one after a year. it is incredible that the schools haven't had a chance to think about an alternative. we look at israel, we look at the us, and we look at the uk thinking, well, things are working there, yeah. and here? not really. italy's vaccinations have indeed been sluggish, partly due to supply problems, but from today they have pledged to almost double daily shots in a mass national mobilisation, a gradual relief to a nation that has suffered so much. i was worried about her, yes, because a lot of people died, especially in lombardy, so now i am happy to receive the vaccine. this hospital alone has gone from administering 200 vaccines a day injanuary, to 1300 a day now. but with a slow start and with cases still rising here, italy is racing to get to the point at which daily vaccines outweigh new infections. it has got some catching up to do. mark lowen reporting. the headlines on bbc news... the prime minister says he's �*deeply concerned' about footage of police officers breaking up the vigil on clapham common, held in memory of sarah everard. the netherlands become the latest european country to pause use of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine — despite regulators saying it's safe. in italy, schools shops and restaurants closed again this morning across much of the country, as infections continue to rise there. this year's oscar nominations were announced earlier today — with british talent such as olivia colman, carey mulligan and anthony hopkins in the running for the world's best known film awards. two women were nominated for best director — the first time more than one woman has been shortlisted for that prize in the awards' 93—year history. mank, the black—and—white drama starring gary oldman as citizen kane writer herman mankiewicz, leads the overall field with ten nominations. this year's winners will be announced at the delayed ceremony on 25th april. and i'm pleased to say i'm joined now by actor mark gatiss — who

welcoming back all children after some year groups returned three weeks ago. hywel griffith reports. time to lose the lockdown locks. after 12 weeks, many of us need more than just a trim. at this salon in cardiff, there's a waiting list of 161 clients. becky is one of the lucky few to get in first. it's so lovely. it's just having a little bit of a pamper, seeing people other than who i live with. it's a bit strange being able to make conversation with other people, new things to talk about. but it's really lovely. other close—contact services like nail bars and beauty salons aren't allowed to reopen. nor are non—essential shops selling things like clothes and books. the owner eleni says she can't fully understand the reasoning. how does someone decide who gets to make a living and who doesn't when we're in the same close—contact services? if the shoe was on the other foot and i was — the beauticians could open and i couldn't — i would feel disheartened, so i completely understand that, you know, their feelings. and i don't quite understand it but i'm just thankful that i can open. while barbers and hairdressers are in business, a lot of shops along the high street will have to wait another four weeks to reopen on april 12th. that's also when schools will be fully reopen in wales. today it was the turn of students in years i! and 13, and older primary pupils, to join their gradual return to classroom learning. for abi, who's taking her a—levels, the staggered restart does make sense. i think phasing it back in, - i think everything being phased in gradually has been the best| approach because i don't think jumping straight into something . and then letting the cases go back up would have been the best approach. i so yeah, i'm fairly happy with how they have handled it. _ deciding who can trade and who to keep locked down has been a painful process throughout this pandemic, and one which will continue through the months ahead. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. more children have gone back to school in scotland — in the latest relaxation of coronavirus restrictions. all secondary pupils are returning to class on a part—time basis, and face—to—face teaching has now resumed for all primary school children. alexandra mackenzie reports. most of these secondary school pupils have not been through the school gates since before christmas. some were nervous, others were excited. all seemed glad to be here. it feels good to be back. it's better than being in the house, behind the screen, learning. it does have its, you know, downsides. social distancing... you know, social distancing, masks and all that. but again, needs must. i think it's better to have it part—time, just so i'm easing myself into it and notjust going in, like, full—time. and i feel like that would cause me a lot of stress. writers want to manipulate how we think and how we feel... i a socially distanced higher english lesson. all pupils and the teacher must wear a face covering. these students will be in school part—time until easter. we will have staggered classes over the course of the day, so we'll have our senior pupils in, first of all, this morning and then the younger pupils coming in after that. and so the way it will work out, all pupils will have two or three hours of teaching time every day and then they will be learning still at home. the scottish government has said that giving pupils even a small amount of time in the classroom is beneficial. others have criticised this short—term blended learning approach, saying it's counter—productive. our concern is that by asking teachers to do too much, they are really going to struggle. teachers are already exhausted. workload for teachers is already off the scale. so it's a question of, how can possibly... how possibly can all of this be delivered over the next couple of weeks? all primary school children are now back full—time. they can finally enjoy learning with their friends as scotland eases slowly and cautiously out of lockdown. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, glasgow. now, it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. for many of us, the rest of the day looking pretty quiet. there will be a fair bit of cloud around but also some sunny spells, however we do have a line of showers that have formed across parts of the east midlands, down towards london and sussex, and i think those showers will still be around well on into the afternoon, quite widespread as well. further north—west we have got some rain on the way to west scotland, and perhaps a few spots in northern ireland, but otherwise a lot of dry and bright weather through the rest of the day. overnight tonight, rain across the north west will sink its way south—east, eventually turning wet across the midlands, rain just about getting to east anglia but probably staying dry in the south—east. the heaviest rain for scotland and northern ireland. it will be a mild night for all of us. tomorrow, this area of rain is going to be pushing its way southwards and eastwards through the day and behind this area of rain, this is a cold front, the skies get much clearer so scotland and northern ireland seeing the best of the afternoon sunshine tomorrow. it will start to feel a bit fresher, though, as the sunshine comes out across the north west. that's your weather. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the prime minister says he's "deeply concerned" about footage of police officers breaking up the vigil on clapham common, held in memory of sarah everard. i think a lot of people were concerned about that, but the reality is the country is united, still, in shock and grief about what happened to sarah everard. the netherlands become the latest european country to pause use of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine despite regulators saying it's safe. in italy, schools, shops and restaurants close again across much of the country, as infections continue to

good afternoon. sir bradley wiggins has called for a further investigation into the events that led to ex—british cycling and team sky chief doctor richard freeman ordering testosterone in 2011. last friday a general medical council tribunalfound freeman had ordered the drugs knowing or believing they were to dope a rider. speaking on his latest eurosport podcast wiggins said: wales manager ryan giggs has played a part in selecting wales's squad for the up coming world cup qualifiers despite his arrest on assault. aaron ramsey has been called up for games next week in belgium and the czech republic in cardiff despite reports in italy he's injured. the fa of wales had said giggs would not be involved in the upcoming camp, having missed november's nations league matches, but caretaker robert page said he has helped with selection. page said it was business as usual. mason greenwood, callum hudson—odoi and emile smith rowe have been named in a strong england squad for next week's uefa u21 euro finals group stage. chelsea midfielder hudson—odoi and manchester united striker greenwood are two of a handful of established premier league players in the squad. arsenal's in—form attacker smith rowe is called up for the first time. cristiano ronaldo has gone past pele's �*official�* all—time goal scoring record. the portugal star grabbed all three ofjuves goals inside the opening 32 minutes in their win at cagliari. ronaldo's career total is now 770 — three clear of pele's tally. well, afterwards, pele posted quite a poetic tribute on social media. he said "life is a solo flight. each makes his ownjourney. what a beautiful journey you are having. i admire you a lot. i love watching you play and this is no secret to anyone. congratulations on breaking my record of goals in official matches." liverpool will be looking forjust a second win in eight league games tonight when they travel to wolves. the defending champions have suffered an alarming slump, which sees them languishing eighth, 8 points off the champions league places, but managerjurgen klopp hopes that their recent champions league win over rb leipzig can spark some better form. what we have to show now is consistency obviously, to consistency obviously, to consistency in a performance way, in a defending way, and then obviously where we are, we have one foot in the game already. ii where we are, we have one foot in the game already.— where we are, we have one foot in the game already. if we can do that, and then if we _ the game already. if we can do that, and then if we can _ the game

more famous names — altior — has been ruled out of wednesday's queen mother champion chase. bitterly disappoined trainer nicky henderson said that the horse had developed a cough. it's the second year in a row that altior has been withdrawn just before the festival. henderson masterminded two wins for the 11—year—old in the race, and said he'd been training really well in the lead up. there will be no sanctions from the international cricket council for the pitch produced by india which saw england crash to a ten—wicket defeat in the third test in ahmedabad. it's been given an average rating by the match referee. there are three worse—rating categories which can all lead to venues being penalised with demerit points. but the icc will not be punishing those responsible for preparing the ahmedabad pitch. the match finished inside two days with england mustering scores ofjust 112 and 81. that's all the sport for now. a legal challenge against the crown prosecution service, over its policy on prosecuting alleged rape and other serious sexual offences, has been dismissed by the court of appeal. the case was brought by the end violence against women coalition, which claimed that a change in the charging policy for rape and sexual assault cases by the cps was "unlawful". after the change, in 2016 — 2018, the number of prosecutions for rape fell dramatically. earlier one of the complainants, bonny turner, whose case was used in the appeal, and who has waived her right to anonymity, said the ruling sent the wrong message to perpetators. deeply shocked, angry, devastated, really. today's judgment, for me, really sends a clear signal to violent men and boys that they can rape with impunity. we have the government currently is signalling that they are going to increase rape prosecutions, and yet the courts have not upheld the decision, or not upheld the claim by the end violence against women coalition that the cps has allowed or caused the rape prosecution rate to the fall to an all—time low, 1.4% last year. that is only one out of 71 reported rape cases. so, effectively, rape has been decriminalised. and the courts have missed this opportunity to put right, or to acknowledge the fact that victims of rape, like me, have been robbed ofjustice for the last few years. our home affairs correspondentjune kelly is with me now. there is a huge amount of discussion at the moment about women's safety and sexual violence. the events of the last few days, other link to this case?— the last few days, other link to thiscase? , ., , ., , this case? this case actually goes back two years. — this case? this case actually goes back two years, and _ this case? this case actually goes back two years, and that's - this case? this case actually goes back two years, and that's when l this case? this case actually goes| back two years, and that's when it was first launched this legal challenge. it's all come to a conclusion in the last week in this national debate. what the end violence against women coalition who brought this case argued was there had been a deliberate change in 2016 that the crown prosecution service had switched from a merits based approach when they look to cases to approach when they look to cases to a different approach. they claim they were looking at cases saying are we likely to get a conviction with the jury are we likely to get a conviction with thejury on are we likely to get a conviction with the jury on this, if we will, we will take on this case, if we don't, we won't take on the case. this is what was being claimed and was argued in court. as we were hearing from bunny, in terms of the stats on rape convictions they are incredibly low and have dropped to a record low prior to this case. the cps said there was —— denied there was any change to a bookmakers approach. manyjudges have upheld the cps approach and say they don't think a bookmakers approach was brought in and they don't think the cps acted unlawfully. the women's groups were asking the court to say the state prosecutor has behaved unlawfully. that's obviously a very big ask. the appealjudges have come down against the women and obviously they are extremely disappointed. just going back to your original point, they said it's interesting it has come just when we are having this national conversation about women's safety. we have heard from the director of public prosecutions, max hill qc, the man the heads it. he acknowledged that there were great concerns that it had increased significantly. more people are coming forward and reporting rape. that was the concern in the past that people weren't reporting. now people are reporting that the conviction rate has dropped. they acknowledge there is work to do, but we are expecting a government rape the near future, we are expecting a government rape the nearfuture, but we are expecting a government rape the near future, but clearly disappointment on the winning side today. disappointment on the winning side toda . g . , disappointment on the winning side toda ., ., , ., the german government is saying that their ears are opposing the use of their ears are opposing the use of their astrazeneca vaccine. this is over concerns of blood clots forming in a small number of people who have had the astrazeneca vaccine. it comes, though, with european regulators and also the world health organization saying that the astrazeneca vaccine is safe to use. but germany now becomes the biggest european country to say that it is stopping administering the astrazeneca vaccine. we are not sure for how long at the moment, but we will of course bring you more when we have it. a new £3 billion bus strategy has been announced for england, aimed at making them cheaper, and more frequent. there are plans for hundreds of miles of bus lanes, contactless payments and fare caps. the prime minister says he wants buses to be people's first choice of transport, but labour has warned his strategy doesn't go far enough. theo leggett reports. for many people without cars, especially in rural areas, buses are vital but campaigners have been saying for years that services simply aren't good enough. now the government is promising what it is calling the most ambitious shake—up of the bus sector in a generation. on a visit to this depot in coventry, the prime minister explained his thinking. i think buses are great for people's lives, a good bus route can be really tra nsformatory for yourjob prospects. but the buses themselves are going to be made in this country, and notjust the buses, but the hydrogen and the battery technology as well in due time will be made in this country. there are plans for simpler fares, more services, easier contactless payments and more bus lanes. 4,000 electric or hydrogen powered buses will be brought into service and £3 billion of public money will be available to make it happen. the government wants bus companies and local authorities to work together to ensure that bus services in future will be so frequent you won't even need a timetable. but the reality is we are a long way from that at the moment in many areas. at this bus stop, for example, the next service isn't due for another hour. according to the campaign for better transport, more than 3000 local bus routes have been lost or cut back since 2009. but today the group gave the government's plan a cautious welcome. the objectives the government set out are hugely welcome but we want to see how they are actually going to pay for these and how they will make sure the increased services they have promised will actually happen on the ground. but i don't want to be churlish in any way, this is a very good document. the labour party insists the new strategy will do nothing to reverse previous cuts. bus is one of the cheapest and greenest forms of travel and we want to see people getting back on buses as soon as it is safe to do so after the pandemic. this strategy really feels like a sticking plaster rather than the radical transformative policy that would shape public transport in our country for decades to come. the liberal democrats said local authorities should be given the power to run their own bus services rather than being shackled to often unpopular private companies. the green party welcomed what it called a turnaround by the government but said the plan wouldn't work unless the freeze on fuel duty, which cut the cost of driving, was also dropped. buses may not be glamorous but for many people they are a lifeline and the government has made it clear it wants many more of us to get on board. theo leggett, bbc news. more now on our top story that the prime minister has said the country is united in shock and grief at the killing of sarah everard. borisjohnson said her death had unleashed a wave of feeling about the safety of women in britain, and insisted the government would work to ensure that women had confidence in the justice system. one former school headteacher has said that the conversation around the safety of women needs to start in the classroom. that's the founder of guide education leon

matter, we need to cover the concepts of fairness and justice. unfortunately what has happened to sarah for a and many other women horrifies us. if you are in a situation with primary schools where you're trying to teach and show people that you're able to be fair and just and start teaching them that. a lot of social experiments teachers do with where they make people with longer hair are blue eyes and treat them differently for a day. children don't have the same kind of world wariness in the way we have. there won't be a situation where they think that's just how life is. that'sjust what where they think that's just how life is. that's just what happens. they're still open to the idea of people having an fair and equitable place in society. but in one race or group or gender below another, it really starts to get to them in a very strong way from an earlier age. teachers can do it with posters and phrases that they use and it can become very stuck. i'm sure you still remember things that premise will talk you today be at a nursery rhyme something. it's a very powerful time to get information and to children that can have a huge impact on society. the reason is that society is very pitchy at all. most of the things you have access to, the don't give a man in 90% of the cases. it would be really good to start imprinting this in young people. to start imprinting this in

before the first lockdown. it took place in the week in which the world health organisation declared coronavirus a pandemic, and some think it helped the disease to spread. this year, the lockdown means crowds are absent. fiona lamdin reports. more than 250,000 people filled cheltenham and its racecourse this time last year. just days later, the country went into national lockdown. it was very busy, absolutely packed, so i suppose everybody spread out all through the town, really. it�*s a family tradition, john and chris with their children go to the festival every year. i remember the day we went to cheltenham, and the next thing three or four weeks later i woke up in intensive care with tubes and jeans beeping and nurses around, and you know, thinking, what�*s going on? —— machines beeping. and for the next eight weeks, john was in hospital fighting for his life. we had a soon call with one of the doctors so that me and the kids were able to see him because that might be the last time we did see him. so that was an awful day. awful day. and even thouthohn survived, there were many complications. gangrene on my thumb and finger and on my toe and that, a bleed on the brain. john and chris believe the whole family caught covid from cheltenham but no one can be entirely sure. the festival was among the last mass gathering to take place in the uk before the nation was overwhelmed by the first wave of the pandemic. a year on, things couldn�*t look more different. but 12 months ago, this was one of the most popular pubs for racegoers. what race week in cheltenham does is it gives us a second christmas so it was a really positive time for us, — it was probably our second biggest festival period we've had at this pub since we opened. but you were actually uneasy about staying open? yeah, we were as a team at the time. had the government said, don't worry, we'll underpin your business risk then we would have closed. so where did the green light come from? this was the deputy chief medical officer for england on breakfast on the morning the festival started. people should be going to events, | they should be taking appropriate | hygiene as i've just i described, and that's the most important thing they— can do. and actually, outdoor events, the virus won't survive very. long outside. it will lose its viability- to transmit disease and so many outdoor events, particularly, are relatively safe. _ the british horseracing authority have said british racing acted on the best advice available from the government at the time, taking extra measures to keep people safe. the department of health says the decision was taken by the racecourse within public health guidance at the time. well done! two months later on the 22nd of may, john finally came home. how lucky do you feel you still have your husband? very lucky, yeah. really lucky. but he says even when the pandemic is over, he�*ll think twice before returning to the festival.

quiet. there will be a fair bit of cloud around but also some sunny spells, however we do have a line of showers that have formed across parts of the east midlands, down towards london and sussex, and i think those showers will still be around well on into the afternoon, quite widespread as well. further north—west we have got some rain on the way to west scotland, and perhaps a few spots in northern ireland, but otherwise a lot of dry and bright weather through the rest of the day. overnight tonight, rain across the north west will sink its way south—east, eventually turning wet across the midlands, rain just about getting to east anglia but probably staying dry in the south—east. the heaviest rain for scotland and northern ireland. it will be a mild night for all of us. tomorrow, this area of rain is going to be pushing its way southwards and eastwards through the day and behind this area of rain, this is a cold front, the skies get much clearer so scotland and northern ireland seeing the best of the afternoon sunshine tomorrow. it will start to feel a bit fresher, though, as the sunshine comes out across the north west. that�*s your weather. this is bbc news. the headlines: the prime minister says he�*s �*deeply concerned�* about footage of police officers breaking up the vigil on clapham common, held in memory of sarah everard. a lot of people were concerned

history — breaking the record for the most awards ever won by a woman, and there�*s british success for harry styles and dua lipa good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the prime minister has said he is "very concerned" by the images of police officers detaining women during a vigil in south london on saturday to remember sarah everard. following strong criticism of the police�*s handling of saturday�*s vigil in london, mrjohnson said he continued to back the metropolitan police chief, cressida dick, and said there would be an investigation into what happened. here�*s our correspondent, richard galpin. the kidnapping and murder of sarah everard has triggered both anger and fear. but also a determination amongst many women to speak out and take action. this vigil over the weekend going ahead despite being banned for covid—19 reasons. and later on the police moved in prompting criticism they had been heavy—handed in their approach to those taking part. as it got darker, we were standing further back to find a place to lay my candle and i can see groups of police officers and groups of fluorescent yellow dotted around and as it got darker, that was when they formed lines and made their move in and it did not, there was no other change in atmosphere. it was purely from them. it was clearly that they provoked it. they have been calls for the metropolitan police commissioner to resign in the wake of what has happened. but she has rejected this and has defended the way the police have handled the situation. an independent inquiry has been set up. we have to see the context of the difficult situation that the police find themselves in. we need to know more about saturday night and obviously this independent review will look into that. she is an officer of superlative achievement in her life and she has been close to some incredibly successful investigations and she is very dedicated and committed to this issue of dealing with violence against women and girls in a certain way as she possibly can. today, the prime minister holding a meeting of the governments crime and justice task force. the meeting would look into what further action can be taken to ensure women are safe on the streets of this country. we have got to recognise that the tragedy- and the horrific crime we had seen. in the case of sarah everard who has unleashed a wave of feeling from people and women i and above all who do worry about their safety at night. | in parliament today, mps will be discussing the police crime sentencing and courts bill who critics say could lead to further restrictions on peoples rights to protest. but there is nothing about the safety of women despite what has happened. we are voting against it at second reading which is the moment. we want to try and improve it in the committee and there are some things in there that we we have been campaigning for a long time and they are good. there are things in there that we like the look of but we think we can improve. no mention of women in a bill of this kind after what has happened is unacceptable. that means the pressure on the police and the government to act decisively after what has happened is only likely to increase. georgina was at the vigil on saturday and says she was flashed at when she left. she reported it to police at the scene, who said they didn�*t want to know. the police have since apologised for this. thank you for talking to us. tell us what happened to you on saturday. i joined there they gel as i lived locally and to pay my respects to sarah and as i was walking home after things devolved around eight o�*clock there was a man who was clearly quite incoherent and at quite erotically and as i tried to get past he took his genitalia out and i tried to get pass as soon as possible. this is not the first time this happened to me but this is the first time please have been present to be able to report it right away. there was a group of five or six policemen and i went up to them and tell them what had happened and a female police officer was like all right let�*s go. but unfortunately she had a male colleague who said no, i�*m not dealing with this, we�*ve had enough with the rioters tonight, we are not dealing with this. he studied together and his colleagues into the time and at that point i said really, this is why we are saying something, this is ridiculous and he did not respond and hejust took his colleagues and shut the door and waited for me to leave. what did you think what he did that? it was shocking. i felt unsafe because at this individual and to have the police say no to me and say we�*re not going to help you, how can we�*re not going to help you, how can we feel safe? we don�*t have any help. especially

cressida dick to resign. good afternoon to you. the prime minister and the home secretary have said, sorry davey cooper, the prime minister on the home secretary had said that they have confidence in cressida dick but your party is calling on her to resign. why? it was clear from the high court ruling on friday afternoon that an event could go ahead in a legal way and it just parties to engage with the organisers and around the country in a number of different places, these forces did engage with the organisers of various schedules and vigils did go ahead in a peaceful and socially distant covid—19 secure matter but not in london. the parties had 24 hours in london to engage with the organisers but they refused to engage and worse than that, they rated until it got dark and they formed a cordon and a barricade around women who are grieving and they removed them and push them to the floor and in many cases knelt on their backs and arrested them. this was unavoidable. it was disgusting. cressida dick need to take responsibility for that and her response has been appalling. she has refused to apologise and said she wants to see the metropolitan voice come back stronger. this is at a point when women have been conceived by grief and angerfor a week now women have been conceived by grief and anger for a week now about men�*s safety and i don�*t believe that metropolitan commissioner is taking it seriously and she is making matters worse. it it seriously and she is making matters worse.— it seriously and she is making matters worse. it is interesting that ou matters worse. it is interesting that you say — matters worse. it is interesting that you say elsewhere - matters worse. it is interesting that you say elsewhere in i matters worse. it is interesting| that you say elsewhere in other cities police forces did engage with organisers in order to enable safer demonstrations or vigils because part of the take away from the court case last week in which it was decided and ruled that such demonstrations were illegal. one got the impression that meant that police could not engage with organisers because this was simply an illegal event. that organisers because this was simply an illegal event.— an illegal event. that is not right. the hirh an illegal event. that is not right. the high court — an illegal event. that is not right. the

make it clear that| the high court make it clear that such events could go ahead. the organisers of reclaimed beast streets also made that clear. they try to reach out and the parties did engage with organisers around the country to make those peaceful, socially distant, covid—19 secure vigils go ahead. that was the right thing to do. what was clear that they met parties in london refused to take that opportunity. that door was left open for them to engage by the high court and they met police did not take that opportunity. your callin: for did not take that opportunity. your calling for cressida _ did not take that opportunity. your calling for cressida dick's kvesic calling for cressida dick�*s kvesic nation. the event that the right move? the first female metropolitan police

metropolitan police all had that 24 hours which is a long time. 24 hours in which they could have decided to engage with the organisers and they could have organised a socially distant vigil and they could have organised something else to happen and they could have had ropes where people could have walked through and there were all sorts of measures they could have taken but they refused to engage and be allowed this seems to go ahead and the police waited until it got dark and then they started to forcibly remove women who were trying to breathe and i think that is a catalogue of disasters and it was completely avoidable and somebody has to be held to account.— held to account. thank you very much. held to account. thank you very much- that _ held to account. thank you very much. that is _

they had claimed that a change of policy had meant rape victims were being let down, and that the number of prosecutions had �*collapsed.�* but the cps said there�*d been no recent change in their approach. let�*s speak now to andrea simon, director of the charity end violence against women. you must be disappointed at this court decision and it�*s interesting that it has come in this time where people are talking so much about women and their safety and about social violence. we women and their safety and about social violence.— social violence. we are deeply disappointed _ social violence. we are deeply disappointed by _ social violence. we are deeply disappointed by this _ social violence. we are deeply disappointed by this and i social violence. we are deeply disappointed by this and we i social violence. we are deeply| disappointed by this and we as social violence. we are deeply l disappointed by this and we as a betrayal of women at this point and we have argued in the case if cps changed its approach and became more risk averse to charging and that led to a catastrophic falling in rape case is being charged and the courts found they were not in a position to determine the cause of that genetic collapse and prosecutions. they did not engage with the evidence that to be put forward to support our claims and part of that was a number of cases that were not charged in unbelievable circumstances and women who had been attacked at knife point and those that had the offenders admits what they had done and none of that was really taken into consideration and it does not change the fact that less then 3% of rapes reported currently lead to a charge. we would say that situation amounts to the diplomatic and systemic failings for women who are trying to seek protection and justice from the criminaljustice seek protection and justice from the criminal justice system. seek protection and justice from the criminaljustice system. we are feeling like we are right to bring the case and there was no other avenue open to us to try and get accountability for these kinds of decisions which have this devastating impact on what man who reports they have been raped. the firures reports they have been raped. the fi . ures do reports they have been raped. the figures do suggest that the number of rape cases has fallen by 23% if you compare between 2009 and 2016 compared with 2017. do you think that given the courts ruling that you should have argued this case not according to a change of policy in the cps? perhaps it was the wrong legal argument? the cps? perhaps it was the wrong legalargument? i the cps? perhaps it was the wrong legal argument?— legal argument? i think it was a difficult case _ legal argument? i think it was a difficult case to _ legal argument? i think it was a difficult case to bring _ legal argument? i think it was a difficult case to bring and i legal argument? i think it was a difficult case to bring and as i legal argument? i think it was a | difficult case to bring and as you can see from the courtjudgement they felt they were not able to interrogate the facts. they have depended cps the benefit of the doubt and they did not change clearly something happened which caused this dramatic fall and the arguments he put forward are extremely plausible and what we do not know is an alternative. we have not know is an alternative. we have not had an explanation and answers for what happened to really turn the tide and obviously going forward we want there to be accountability and he have been talking about the vigil that happened over the weekend and how they are so many questions over how they are so many questions over how they are so many questions over how the police have handled that and it�*s right that politicians are coming out and having to answer for the actions and calling into question but where is the accountability for that 51% drop in rape charging that�*s occurred over the last five years? we just have not seen that same attention and scrutiny of the prosecution of rape. you mentioned the controversy of individual. do you think the commissioner of the metropolitan police should resign? i commissioner of the metropolitan police should resign?— commissioner of the metropolitan police should resign? i think there are questions _ police should resign? i think there are questions that _ police should resign? i think there are questions that need _ police should resign? i think there are questions that need to - police should resign? i think there are questions that need to be i are questions that need to be answered most definitely and it�*s very clear that was handled very badly. it is for the investigation into how that was handled to come out with an outcome but as far as we are concerned a response throughout the justice system are not good enough and we see today the introduction of another crime bill and that essentially allows politicians to look like being very tough on crime and increasing sentencing but is does not mention one in and ignores the fact that the vast majority of cases of violence against women and girls go unreported and those that are reported there are only a tiny percentage of those that go through the system so we cannot be asking women to come forward to support prosecutions without the prospect of justice and without legal advocacy to help them and that they guarantee that they will get trauma informed therapeutic and constant support and we are asking victims to wait for years when they report they have been raped before their case gets to court on the proposals that we are seeing are not good enough but they ignored the courts from the women sector to actually adjust the decades of underfunding that we have seen. particularly for those services who support the most marginalised women and ethnic women who arejust the marginalised women and ethnic women who are just the victimised and faced poor outcomes in the system that has been shown to have issues of institutional racism and misogyny baked into it. of institutional racism and misogyny baked into it— the headlines on bbc news: the prime minister

anthonyjoshua to fight —— sign me to fight the. germany and the netherlands have become the latest countries to suspend use of the oxford—astrazeneca coronavirus vaccine over concerns of possible side effects. the dutch government said the move was a precaution. the republic of ireland made a similar decision over the weekend following reports of blood clotting in recipients in norway. but the world health organization says there is no indication of a link between the vaccine and blood clots. (tx the announcements by the netherlands and ireland followed similar moves by denmark, norway, bulgaria, iceland and thailand. some european countries have stopped using certain batches of the drug as a precautionary measure. (tx the european medicines agency is currently carrying out a review into incidents of blood clots. it says the vaccine�*s benefits continue to outweigh its risks. (tx about 17 million people in the european union and the uk have received a dose of the vaccine, with less than 40 cases of blood clots reported as of last week, astrazeneca said. that�*s no higher than would be found in a normal population sample. clots reported as of last week, astrazeneca said. that�*s no higher than would be found in a normal population sample. lets get more now on germany halting the roll—out of the astrazeneca vaccine, and cross to berlin and talk to our correspondentjenny hill. what explanation has been given for pausing the actions zeneca programme?— pausing the actions zeneca programme? pausing the actions zeneca roaramme? ., programme? the country's health minister has _ programme? the country's health minister has said _ programme? the country's health minister has said it _ programme? the country's health minister has said it is _ programme? the country's health minister has said it is being i programme? the country's health minister has said it is being done| minister has said it is being done as a pure precaution. this development has come as a big surprise up until the very end of last week. the health minister and one of the country�*s top scientist sat next to each other at a press conference saying there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest there are any concerns. the decision has been made on the recommendation of a body which advises the government here over vaccines and vaccinations and we do not have its full recommendation by the health ministry referred to what they say are its concerns over new reports of blood clots in the brain and it�*s not clear at this stage whether these are new reports on top of those which have been reported throughout europe in recent days. whether they are cases which happen in germany we do not know any more than that. it�*s important to say that as far as germany is concerned it is purely precautionary that institutes is saying they simply want to investigate further. of course, it is a huge blow to a country that is really vaccinating very slowly indeed. while the astrazeneca vaccine is not the most used vaccine here, it is still a vaccine this country is relying to try and rule out vaccinations as quickly as i possibly can. a big shock to people here and i think a lot of concern about what this is going to do it potential take—up of the vaccine should be reinstated and astrazeneca has had a bit of an image problem in germany. largely because the government here along with some of the national government decided initially not to licence its use in the over 65 and saying it wanted more data on its efficacy in those age groups and that has led to a slow take—up of the vaccine which reports that medical staff who have been offered eight are turning it down saying they are concerned is not as good as other vaccines and there is no ground to that of course. today�*s decisions will only fuel concerns about the safety of the vaccine. fuel concerns about the safety of the vaccine-— fuel concerns about the safety of the vaccine. this is a fast-moving sto . as the vaccine. this is a fast-moving story- as you _ the vaccine. this is a fast-moving story. as you

suspended the use of the astrazeneca vaccine nation and at the same time at the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau has said that canadian health experts have shown that all covid—19 vaccines being injected in canada and those made astrazeneca. it�*s a big divide of a bash opinion and it has to be stressed that the world health organization and regulators are seeing it safe. it�*s health organization and regulators are seeing it safe.— are seeing it safe. it's difficult for the public _ are seeing it safe. it's difficult for the public to _ are seeing it safe. it's difficult for the

to make of this. it's for the public to make of this. it�*s worth making the point when it comes to vaccination dead german government has been very keen to make sure there is public trust in what they are being given. for example we did not see emergency licensing on a national level or vaccines like you saw in britain. it took longer but the german government argument for that is we want people to feel what they have been given. it may be that the decision here making peel —— making sure they feel they can trust the vaccine once these investigations have been concluded. and many experts here starting to respond to this decision is that actually this will simply have the reverse effect any population of which they have been vaccinated so far. hundreds of people still die here every day. a huge amount of concern when the government is going to turn that situation around without the vaccine as well. ~ . , situation around without the vaccine as well. n, , ., the european union has started formal legal action against the uk because of the government�*s decision to unilaterally delay the introduction of checks on goods coming into northern ireland from great britain. the move could see the case decided by the european court ofjustice, even though the uk has left the eu. our europe correspondent nick beake is in brussels. is this issue continuing to seller

interesting one because we could get bogged down in lots of legal hypotheticals and various scenarios which may or may not happen but at its heart, the eu was angry the british government has taken unilateral action when it comes to these checks that he will come in at these checks that he will come in at the start of next month and they were checks that where on things like pets and parcels and food and basically the british government has said that it needs a bit more time to allow people particularly in northern ireland and supermarkets to put in place procedures to deal with the new post—brexit reality. the european union says you cannotjust break international law and you cannot decide on your own you are going to delay these checks and so what we�*re seeing today is the first stage in legal action and it�*s really hard to know where we go from here. ultimately in theory the case could go before the european court ofjustice which may raise some eyebrows in the uk because that is that a possibility even though of course, the uk has now left the european union.— course, the uk has now left the european union. course, the uk has now left the euroean union. ., ,, i. , . the oscars nominations now, and sir anthony hopkins has become the oldest nominee for a best actor oscar for his role in "the father". other british stars — among them, olivia colman, vanessa kirby and riz ahmed — are also in the running for acting awards. the netflix film — "mank" leads the pack with ten nominations. earlier i asked film critic jason solomons for his take on this year�*s nominations. the one i am really pleased with got six nominations which isjudas and the black messiah about the black panther, fred hampton, played by oscar nominee daniel kaluuya, a british london boy who i�*ve known for many years. i�*m delighted to see him and he�*s fantastic in this. nominated alongside his american costar. it�*s a film about the fbi infiltrating the black panther movement, worried they would see the rise of a black messiah that would bring about social change. i think it�*s a terrific film, just out in the uk on streaming services this weekend. so very timely for it, but it�*s a terrific film full of excitement and it�*s a thriller. it�*s inspired by true events, and it�*s right on the money. it�*s the best film out there. any others you want to mention? i am thrilled for anthony hopkins in the father. i think he is tremendous in it. he�*s always tremendous, sometimes he could bejust doing anthony hopkins. and in this one he... your heart goes out to this amazing performance. the whole family that has to deal with this dementia that his father figure is having. he is confused and he can�*t recognise his daughter, played by olivia coleman who is also nominated in supporting actress category for a wonderful performance. this is a tremendous work of putting yourself inside the head of someone suffering from dementia and also the family suffering the fallout of that dementia. it impacts on many families at the moment and it�*s terribly moving but it�*s also very uplifting because it�*s full of love, and it�*s really about love and i think it�*s tremendous so that�*s one of my favourites. six nominations for that one. there�*s a lot of british talent in this years nomination. we�*re good at the acting, i think. riz ahmed, a young british asian nominee, the first time he is a brilliant actor. wonderful in a film called sound of metal. we�*ve got carey mulligan, who i was delighted to see. first nomination for her sin an education, when she burst onto the scene with that role. this is her best role since then in a promising young woman who takes revenge. it�*s described as a rape revenge fantasy comedy. all of those words don�*t fit together, do they? somehow it works. it�*s brilliantly done, and she�*s fantastic and she plays and dresses up into different roles and performs roles to take revenge on these men who have wronged her. it�*s one of those films you have to let wash over you. directed and written by a woman called emerald fennell, her first feature film. we know her from call the midwife, camilla in the crown on netflix. this is her first movie as writer and director and she has been oscar—nominated for both. an extraordinary rise for someone but it�*s an extraordinary film. she was a showrunner, the director on killing eve, the second series of that great bbc hit, and this film has got something of that killer instinct and that bubble gum pink colour and that wit and that violence in. promising young woman, look out for that one. my three favourites if i have to say. but mank leads the way. ten nominations and has got gary oldman in it. he�*s been nominated for best actor and he won for playing churchill not that long ago. here he is again playing mank. it�*s herman mankiewicz is the name and everyone calls him mank. he�*s an irascible, drunken, almost unhirable screenwriter whom orson wells hires to write citizen kane. so it�*s a film about the making of citizen kane all full of old old hollywood and marion davis and you can see amanda see fred who got nominated for best supporting actress category. it looks beautiful. i found it dense and boring and i have to say but the craft is extraordinary and it looks amazing. he will get drunk and be insulting at parties. he is boring and it�*s hard to watch. but you can see why hollywood loves this one because it�*s full the people referencing david selznick and the very people who set up the academy awards in the first place. we respeaking earlier about germany becoming the latest european country deposit the roll—out of the astrazeneca vaccine over health concerns. in the last minute or so france has also said that it is going to pause the vaccine. the french president says that the programme is being suspended in orderfor the european programme is being suspended in order for the european watchdog to give its assessment on the safety of the vaccine tomorrow. this is because of the incidence of a small number of people developing blood clots after having been inoculated but it is also the case that the world health organization and other countries and regulators have said that the astrazeneca vaccine is completely safe. clearly a fast developing story and we will bring you more as we have eight. stay with us because the home secretary is about to update mps in the house of commons on policing and the product —— prevention of violence against women and that after the scenes we saw at the clapham, and this weekend. we will be bringing that life the us and gets on her feet. for the moment let us take a look at the weather. hello there. for many of us, the rest of the day looking pretty quiet. there will be a fair bit of cloud around but also some sunny spells, however we do have a line of showers that have formed across parts of the east midlands, down towards london and sussex, and i think those showers will still be around well on into the afternoon, quite widespread as well. further north—west we have got some rain on the way to west scotland, and perhaps a few spots in northern ireland, but otherwise a lot of dry and bright weather through the rest of the day. overnight tonight, rain across the north west will sink its way south—east, eventually turning wet across the midlands, rain just about getting to east anglia but probably staying dry in the south—east. the heaviest rain for scotland and northern ireland. it will be a mild night for all of us. tomorrow, this area of rain is going to be pushing its way southwards and eastwards through the day and behind this area of rain, this is a cold front, the skies get much clearer so scotland and northern ireland seeing the best of the afternoon sunshine tomorrow. it will start to feel a bit fresher, though, as the sunshine comes out across the north west. that�*s your weather. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the prime minister says he�*s �*deeply concerned�* about footage of police officers breaking up the vigil on clapham common, held in memory of sarah everard. i think a lot of people were concerned about that, but the reality is the country is united, still, in shock and grief about what happened to sarah everard. italy and germany and france become the latest european countries to pause use of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine over concern about side effects — despite regulators saying it�*s safe. italian schools, shops and restaurants have closed again across much of the country, as infections continue to rise there. i think you should go. but a second a-o i think you should go. but a second ago you _ i think you should go. but a second ago you were determined for me to stay _ ago you were determined for me to stay. pretty— ago you were determined for me to stay. pretty insistent actually. this year�*s oscar nominations are announced with many brits including carey mulligan up for the top acting prizes. hairdressers and barbers in wales have re—opened this morning, making it the only place in the uk where you can get a trim. primary schools are also welcoming back all children after some year groups returned three weeks ago. hywel griffith reports. time to lose the lockdown locks. after 12 weeks, many of us need more than just a trim. at this salon in cardiff, there�*s a waiting list of 161 clients. becky is one of the lucky few to get in first. it�*s so lovely. it�*s just having a little bit of a pamper, seeing people other than who i live with. it�*s a bit strange being able to make conversation with other people, new things to talk about. but it�*s really lovely. other close—contact services like nail bars and beauty salons aren�*t allowed to reopen. nor are non—essential shops selling things like clothes and books. the owner eleni says she can�*t fully understand the reasoning. how does someone decide who gets to make a living and who doesn't when we're in the same close—contact services? if the shoe was on the other foot and i was. . . ..the beauticians could open and i couldn't — i would feel disheartened, so i completely understand that, you know, their feelings. and i don't quite understand it but i'm just thankful that i can open. while barbers and hairdressers are in business, a lot of shops along the high street will have to wait anotherfour weeks to reopen on april 12th. that�*s also when schools will be fully reopen in wales. today it was the turn of students in years 11 and 13, and older primary pupils, to join their gradual return to classroom learning. for abi who�*s taking her a—levels, the staggered restart does make sense. i think phasing it back in, - i think everything being phased in gradually has been the best| approach because i don't think jumping straight into something and then letting the cases go i back up would have been the best approach. - so yeah, i'm fairly happy with how they have handled it. _ deciding who can trade and who to keep locked down has been a painful process throughout this pandemic, and one which will continue through the months ahead. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. more children have gone back to school in scotland — in the latest relaxation of coronavirus restrictions. all secondary pupils are returning to class on a part—time basis, and face—to—face teaching has now resumed for all primary school children. alexandra mackenzie reports. most of these secondary school pupils have not been through the school gates since before christmas. some were nervous, others were excited. all seemed glad to be here. it feels good to be back. it�*s better than being in the house, behind the screen, learning. it does have its, you know, downsides. social distancing... you know, social distancing, masks and all that. but again, needs must. i think it's better to have it part—time, just so i'm easing myself into it and notjust going in, like, full—time. and i feel like that would cause me a lot of stress. writers want to manipulate how we think and how we feel... i a socially distanced higher english lesson. all pupils and the teacher must wear a face covering. these students will be in school part—time until easter. we will have staggered classes over the course of the day, so we�*ll have our senior pupils in, first of all, this morning and then the younger pupils coming in after that. and so the way it will work out, all pupils will have two or three hours of teaching time every day and then they will be learning still at home. the scottish government has said that giving pupils even a small amount of time in the classroom is beneficial. others have criticised this short—term blended learning approach, saying it�*s counter—productive. our concern is that by asking teachers to do too much, they are really going to struggle. teachers are already exhausted. workload for teachers is already off the scale. so it's a question of, how can possibly... how possibly can all of this be delivered over the next couple of weeks? all primary school children are now back full—time. they can finally enjoy learning with their friends as scotland eases slowly and cautiously out of lockdown. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, glasgow. businesses, shops and schools are closing across much of italy — as the country battles a third wave of coronavirus. it�*s one of several european countries suffering a new rise in infections, amid delays to their vaccination programme. restrictions will extend across the whole country over easter, as mark lowen reports. the beautiful blue skies of milan belie the dark clouds of covid gathering it again, because, just over a year since italy became the first country in the world to impose a national lockdown, it is shutting its doors once again. this region, lombardy, the original epicentre of the first wave, is now one of 11 regions in italy, over half the country, in which schools, shops, restaurants are closing as part of a red zone, and for three days across the easter holiday, the whole of italy will become a red zone, so there will be closures right across the country. italy is now in a third wave of the virus, with infections likely to peak in six or seven days, and while some here support the tightening of the measures, for many, well, they feel at the end of their tether. we know that it is necessary but we are very tired, so i hope that this is the last one. we feel pretty dreadful. it is like back to square one after a year. it is incredible that the schools haven't had a chance to think about an alternative. we look at israel, we look at the us, and we look at the uk thinking, well, things are working there, yeah. and here? not really. italy�*s vaccinations have indeed been sluggish, partly due to supply problems, but from today they have pledged to almost double daily shots in a mass national mobilisation, a gradual relief to a nation that has suffered so much. i was worried about her, yes, because a lot of people died, especially in lombardy so now i am happy to receive the vaccine. this hospital alone has gone from administering 200 vaccines a day injanuary, to 1300 a day now. but with a slow start and with cases still rising here, italy is racing to get to the point at which daily vaccines outweigh new infections. it has got some catching up to do. the home secretary priti patel is updating mps in the house of commons on policing and the prevention of violence against women. i would like to begin by saying that my thoughts are with sarah�*s family and friends at this unbearable time. i know every member of this house willjoin me in offering her loved ones our deepest sympathies. it is prompting debate around wider issues, but we must remember that a young woman has lost her life and at a family is grieving. let me turn to this weekend�*s events. i have already said that some of the footage circulating online of clapham common is upsetting. so whilst the police are rightfully operationally dependent, the metropolitan police are reporting to what has happened. the backstop of police fighting crime and keeping the peoples public safe, ensuring public confidence, i have asked for the her majesty�*s constabulary to conduct a full review. the metropolitan police commission has welcomed this and i will await the report and of course update the housein report and of course update the house in due course. i would like to take a moment to acknowledge why sarah�*s death has upset so many. my heart ache and that of others can be summed up injust five heart ache and that of others can be summed up in just five words. heart ache and that of others can be summed up injust five words. she wasjust walking home. while summed up injust five words. she was just walking home. while the specific circumstances of sarah�*s circumstances are thankfully in common, it has reminded women everywhere of the steps we take each day without a second thought to keep yourself safe. it has rightfully ignited anger at the danger posed to women by predatory men, and anger i feel as strongly as anyone. accounts shared online in the wake of sarah�*s disappearance are so powerful because every single one of us can relate to them. to many of us, who have walked home from school or work alone, only to hearfootsteps uncomfortably close behind us, too many of us have prevent —— have pretended to be on the phone to a friend to scare someone off. too many of us have clutched our keys and our fists many of us have clutched our keys and ourfists in case many of us have clutched our keys and our fists in case we need to defend ourselves. that is not ok. women and girls must feel safe while walking our streets. that is why we have continued to take action. our landmark domestic abuse bill is on track to receive royal assent by the end of april, and this will transform our collective response to this abhorrent crime. this builds on other measures we have put forward, including the controlling or coercive behaviour offence and the domestic violence disclosure scheme known as claire�*s law which enables individuals to ask whether their partner has a violent or abusive past. we have also introduced preventative tools and powers to tackle crimes for stalking, female genital mutilation. but we can never be complacent. which is why throughout the passage of the domestic abuse bill, we have accepted amendments from honourable members, from political parties across the south. the bill now includes new offences of nonfatal strangulation. that rule threats to disclose images and add coercive control behaviour event —— it recognises the many forms and these can take. psychological, physical, emotional, economic, sexual and of course the impact of abuse on children. as well as the new rules to prevent victims having to go through the pain of being cross examined by their abusers in family and in civil courts. we all know action is needed to improve the outcomes for rape cases, and we are currently developing robust actions as part of our end—to—end review of rape to reverse the declining outcomes in recent years. at the end of last year in december, i launched the first—ever public survey of women and girls to hear their views on how we can better tackle gendered crimes. on friday, in the wake of the outpouring of grief, i reopened that survey. i can tell the house that survey. i can tell the house that as of 11am today, the home office has received 78,000 responses since 6pm on friday. that is completely unprecedented and more than the 80,000 responses received during the entire ten week period when the survey was open. i am listening to women and girls up and down the country, and their views will help to shape a new strategy in tackling violence against women and girls which i will bring forward to this house later this year. the police crime sentencing courts bill which we will shortly be debating will end the half way relief of those convicted for sexual offences such as rape. instead under our law, the criminals responsible for these terrible crimes will spend at least two thirds of their time behind bars. our new law will extend the scope of the sexual offences act 2003 with regards to the abuse of positions of trust, something which predominantly affects young girls, and it will introduce k�*s law which will encourage the police to impose pre—charged bale with appropriate conditions where necessary and proportionate to do so, which we hope will provide additional assurance and protection for victims behind cases like domestic abuse. i know the opposition will today be voting against these crucial measures, against measures to support victims of violent crimes, including women and girls. finally, the government is providing an extra £40 million to help victims during the pandemic and beyond. and last month, we launched a new government advertising campaign, hashtag it still matters, to raise awareness of sexual violence services and ensure victims know where to get help. i want to end by saying that over the past year, during the coronavirus pandemic, the police have been faced with an unenviable and immediately difficult task. it is one for the most part with which they have approached with skill and professionalism, helping to enforce regulations as determined by parliament, while crucially impartial in mind to save lives. this house approved those chain judges on the 16th ofjanuary this year. sadly, as of sunday the 14th of march, more than 125,500 lives have been lost to this horrible virus. it is for that reason that i am continuing to urge everyone, for as long as these regulations are in place, not to participate in large gatherings or attend protests. the right to protest is the cornerstone of our democracy, but the government public duty remains to prevent more lives lost during this pandemic. finally, there will undoubtedly be more discussions of these vitally important issues in the days and weeks to come. we cannot forget and must not forget that a family is grieving. i know the thoughts and prayers of this whole house are with sarah�*s loved ones at this truly terrible time. we sarah's loved ones at this truly terrible time.— sarah's loved ones at this truly terrible time. ~ ., ., ,, ., ., terrible time. we now come to shadow home secretary- _ terrible time. we now come to shadow home secretary. thank _ terrible time. we now come

the home secretary to coming to i home secretary. thank you. i think i the home secretary to coming to the house today. we come together at a time of national grief and what must now be a time of change. the news of sarah everard�*s death is heartbreaking for us all, and our thoughts are with her family and friends. whilst they of course appreciate the legal sensitivity of the case, reports around its circumstances are extremely distressing. the reaction to her death across the country has been extraordinarily powerful and moving, led by the passionate voices of women and girls who are rightly demanding action and change. it cannot be right that so many women continue to fearfor cannot be right that so many women continue to fear for their safety on a daily basis, whether on the streets are at home. the testimonies that have been shared highlight the unacceptable levels of abuse and misogyny, harassment on the streets, walking home with headphones turned up walking home with headphones turned up to listen for threats, keys between fingers, being told to stay home after dark to avoid attackers. let me be clear, it is not women who should change their behaviour, it is men and wider society that needs to change. at times like this, it is vital that people are able to have their voices heard. of course, in a way that is lawful and covert secure. this weekend, again, in clapham, things clearly went wrong. i share the anger about the policing and the scenes. it is right that the mayor of london has shown leadership by calling on her majesty�*s inspector of constabulary and the independent office for police conduct to investigate. the home secretary asked for a report from the commissioner of the metropolitan police. i hope she will publish it because transparency is so important. can the home secretary also publish the minutes of the advance meeting that were held on friday mentioned by the policing minister in the media this morning? and can she confirm what communication she personally had with the metropolitan police prior to the events on saturday? whilst the event was a visual and not a process, —— not a protest, the scenes in clapham common should be a red light that ministers should not be rushing through laws crash looking down in protest. the truth is that this government is failing to address violence against women and girls and ministers even want to curtail their right to protest about it. it is a chronic failure from this government. meetings and reopening surveys alone on no longer enough. the equalities minister won�*t even be attending this evening, we hear. national statistics show that recorded rapes doubled between 2014 and 2019. the crime survey for england and wales show that over 2 million people experienced domestic abuse in the year, get only a tiny fraction are charged and charging rates are falling. thejustice charged and charging rates are falling. the justice system sends a perverse message that murdering someone at home, which predominantly means men killing women, is a lesser crime than killing someone in the street by handing out shorter sentences for domestic homicides. the 296 page bill we will consider later today contains the worlds memorial eight times and fails to include the word women once. the government messages they want to lock up people who damaged the statues of slaves traders for ten years when rape sentences start at half that. i say to the government today that unless this changes, unless there is action on homicide, unless there is action on homicide, unless there is action on street harassment, unless there is action on stalking, this bill will risk becoming an abuser�*s charter that just allows violence and injustice to honour streets and in our homes to honour streets and in our homes to continue unchecked. struggling to find aspects of the bill that will make a difference to addressing violence against women and girls. let me take one example. ministers have pointed to whole life tariffs the rape. i will ask the home secretary when she gets to her feet to answer how many rape convictions have resulted in life terms. the answer is hardly any. today, the high court ruled in favour of the status quo and rate. it is a status quo that is shameful and the government must change. the figures show that 99%, 99% of rapes reported to the police in england and wales result in no link —— no legal proceedings whatsoever. 99%, it is effectively a get out ofjail free card and it is appalling. it doesn�*t have to be this way. this could be a time of national unity where we decide to come together as a country to put forward protections. the government can either change course, take necessary action, or ministers will find themselves on the wrong side of history once again.- side of history once again. thank ou, mr side of history once again. thank you, mr speaker. _ side of history once again. thank you, mr speaker. i'd _ side of history once again. thank you, mr speaker. i'd like - side of history once again. thank you, mr speaker. i'd like to i side of history once again. thank| you, mr speaker. i'd like to thank you, mr speaker. i�*d like to thank the honourable gentleman for his comments but if i may, at a time when the country is morning a significant loss, and there are moments of great unity, i�*m quite sorry to hear the tone of the honourable gentleman, particularly in terms of the government record when it comes to our commitment of tackling violence against women and girls and the right honourable gentleman will also be well sited, more than aware, of the significant contributions of all members of this house to the domestic abuse phil which has been under debate, scrutiny, challenge amendment for considerable period of time in fact. i would like to emphasise that this government is committed when it comes to violence against women and girls at the highest level, and when you look at in fact the work of this government over the last decade, if i may, i�*d like to pay tribute to my right honourable friend the member of mains and head for her work in particular, because she was the one that really set the bar high in legislation from all the measures, notjust in terms of the da bill, fgm, violence against women and girls. everything that has been put forward in terms of money support from charities. this government is building upon that and no one can know that simple fact. the right honourable gentleman has also made specific references to the bill that will be debated this afternoon, in particular to rape and rape convictions. the bill is a criminal justice bill as well as a policing bill and he will also be very mindful of the work that this government is undertaking right now with regards to the rape review to completely reverse the declining outcomes we have seen in recent years. this government is increasingly very honest about the declining outcomes we have seen. we are working with all the government parties, including the cps. we want to change the way of direction there and there is much more work to come and there is much more work to come and that will be published in due course, shortly in fact. to say the bill itself does nothing for women is completely wrong, primarily when it comes to sentencing because it will end the halfway release of those convicted for sexual offences such as rape. instead, our laws will go after those criminals and they will spend at least two thirds of their time behind bars. will spend at least two thirds of theirtime behind bars. i will spend at least two thirds of their time behind bars. i think it is worth reflecting that it was in 2003, under a is worth reflecting that it was in 2003, undera labour is worth reflecting that it was in 2003, under a labour government, that made automatic have release mandatory to all standard sentences regardless of whether there are fender had been convicted of a violent or sexual offence. the bill discussed later on will reverse that policy. the right honourable gentleman also says there is no mention of women in the bill specifically. that is another accusation that i will reject primarily because it is a criminal law and sentencing bill which applies equally to everybody, and the party opposite will also know that in line with the serious organised crime act in 2005 the criminaljustice act in 2003, neither of those bills which related to criminaljustice and sentencing mentioned women as well. of course, there are many other measures we will discuss free passage later on of this bill, but i do want to come back to the statement, the points that i have made in particular. it is right when it comes to the metropolitan police. i have had many discussions with the man friday, over the weekend with the commissioner specifically in relation to preparations and planning prior to saturday evening. my planning prior to saturday evening. my comments are public. they are on the record in terms of what has happened, and quite frankly the upsetting images that were out on saturday evening, we have a review thatis saturday evening, we have a review that is now being conducted by her majesty�*s can duct it... it is right that that should take place. i don�*t think anyone should be judged in terms of conduct until we see exactly what has happened in terms of that report. i do just want to conclude by saying that of course all of us in this house, this is not just about the government, all of us want to work to drive the right outcome so that women feel safe. laws and legislation will absolutely do that. there is no question about that. but there is something also about behaviour and culture which is culture across society, culture with men as well, and we should be upfront about that and never shy away from being honest and discussing that. right now, i think this house should all have in their thoughts and in their prayer, sarah�*s family and friends at this particularly difficult time. sarah's family and friends at this particularly difficult time.- particularly difficult time. thank ou, mr particularly difficult time. thank you, mr speaker, _ particularly difficult time. thank you, mr speaker, and _ particularly difficult time. thank you, mr speaker, and i - particularly difficult time. thank you, mr speaker, and i thank i particularly difficult time. thank| you, mr speaker, and i thank my right honourable friend for her remarks. she is right to remind us that behind the events that happen on saturday lies the tragic death of sarah everard. ijoin my right honourable friend another method members of this house and say my thoughts and prayers are with sarah�*s family and friends at this time. we wantjustice for sarah and we want women to feel and be safe on our streets and in their homes. does my right honourable friend agree that we must redouble our efforts to make sure that the government has excellent domestic abuse phil reaches as anticipated next month. but also recognise that legislation is not enough and if we are going to eradicate violence against women and girls we need a change of attitudes, and that is about dealing with attitudes and changing behaviour but also teaching young men and boys about respect for women and what is and what is not acceptable in a relationship. i and what is not acceptable in a relationship-— and what is not acceptable in a relationship. i would 'ust like to very much * relationship. i would 'ust like to very much pay h relationship. i would just like to very much pay tribute _ relationship. i would just like to very much pay tribute to - relationship. i would just like to very much pay tribute to my i relationship. i would just like to i very much pay tribute to my right honourable friend for her comments and work in leadership. no question around domestic reason leadership against women and girls. she is absolutely right in terms of the domestic abuse bill is a landmark bill and landmark piece of legislation, and i think all honourable members of the house should feel proud of the work that has come together across this house. also, my right honourable friend is absolutely right in terms of the cultural and behavioural aspects that must be changed. for all of us, we have to be constjust of that. as a mother bringing up a young son, absolutely respecting women and girls and treating everyone fairly and rightly with a quality, and understanding there are no barriers. demonstrating that respect to one another, and importantly, tolerance to one another as well as absolutely vital. there is so much more work to do. legislation can only go so far, but we can never be complacent. with that as a government and across both houses we will absolutely share the determination and desire to do so much more when it comes to protecting girls and women, but also in our strategy is where we must all be united. this is not aboutjust saying there is a survey taking place. we must all contribute to that. another survey has been reopened, i very much hope that members of the party opposite will contribute to that to help us have a united and coherent approach, one voice approach to how we can support and prevent support women and girls and prevent support women and girls and prevent support women and girls and prevent violence against women and prevent violence against women and girls too. the murder of sarah everard has truly shocked and saddened us all. we are sending our heartfelt condolences at this time. she was walking home. a sentence that resonates with all women. this tragedy serves as a stark reminder to women who see every aspect of their daily lives in fear of sexual violence or assault or crimes affected at the hands of man. i think this opportunity to urge that p.m. think this opportunity to urge that pm. to have not further delay. across the uk this weekend, when they became to streets to pay tribute to the life of sarah everard. they have received widespread criticism and the question must be answered as to whether the actions were necessary to protect and prevent public harm. that public health crisis has made restrictions necessary so while the police face difficult decisions every day, it�*s impossible to watch the footage of the events without shock and concern that the party scene appeared heavy—handed and disproportionate. it is right that the chief inspector constabulary has been asked to conduct a review. in scotland this incident would have been examined by the independent advisory group with a specific remit to enjoy the use of powers is consistently human rights principles and legislation. turning to their party sentencing the right to protest which remains a fundamental human right can i therefore asked the secretary of state to confirm that the remit of the chief inspector review will focus on human rights? i inspector review will focus on human ri . hts? .. inspector review will focus on human rirhts? ~' ., ., ., , ., , rights? i think the honourable lady for her remarks _ rights? i think the honourable lady for her remarks and _ rights? i think the honourable lady for her remarks and also _ rights? i think the honourable lady for her remarks and also her i for her remarks and also her sentiments. on the tragic death of sarah everard. i think there are a number of points that if i may come back onto. the honourable lady is absolutely right in terms of the role of the inspectorate and we will wait for that review and obviously a live report back. i think it is with us reflecting once again that this has been a difficult and demanding period for the police. the impact of coronavirus restrictions and we know why they are in place as well. on the point of protest, i am very conscious that we will have 50 debates later on this afternoon as well. this government absolutely supports the freedom of expression and clarity when it comes to the whole issue of the right to protest is fundamental to lower democratic freedom without wanting to prejudge for debate and prejudge to further discussions on the bear. for debate and prejudge to further discussions on the hear. the legislation will of course be about the police using highways in terms of how they would manage protest. it's worth reflecting this will be updating legislation and the public order act of 1986 which was enacted over 30 years ago and this would be very much part of the discussion we will be having you in due course. i joined my right honourable friend in places went across the house and pay my deepest condolences. i know it's allowed many women to divvy up in consultation and encouraging many others to do the same and share it their voice. that's my right honourable friend agree with me that both men and women and people of all political persuasions to ensure we actually working together to have to change that we need. she actually working together to have to change that we need.— change that we need. she is of course absolutely _ change that we need. she is of course absolutely right - change that we need. she is of course absolutely right and - change that we need. she is of| course absolutely right and this change that we need. she is of. course absolutely right and this is a collective for everyone to be part of shaping future strategy and shaping future policy and legislation. we can't do that together which is why it is quite unprecedented and incredible what 78,000 people have responded to the survey. that is something we are really pleased about that because we want to encourage people to contribute and i would encourage us and you've heard me saying all members of this house played their role and join contribution. flan members of this house played their role and join contribution. item i role and 'oin contribution. can i 'oin with role and join contribution. can i join with the — role and join contribution. can i join with the expression - role and join contribution. can i join with the expression to - role and join contribution. can i join with the expression to cross the house of deep sympathy and condolences to sarah and ryan's family following her tragic death. women across the country have been moved to talk about the experiences that we all share and that no one should have to endure feeling threatened and unsafe on our own streets. to a beer with perpetrators of abuse and stalking to be able to register them to be able to prevent the problem where they move from one beacon to another and no one keeps track and away with it. at that time ministers said the measures were not needed. will she work with me and baroness royale and make sure we can bringing the strong measures and take actions against repeat perpetrators and keep my women safe? she is right about the point she has been raising and that measures at large. there is something about perpetrators and very serious offending that to be addressed so there is no question about that at all. this does link predominate lead to many of the criminaljustice outcomes and the wider debate this house will be having notjust later on today but over future weeks as well. i will be very candid and really look at all measures and rightly so. we should be doing everything possible to keep women safe. keeping everyone safe behaviour of syria perpetrators and serial offenders is deeply corrosive and deeply damaging and obviously dreadful implications and consequences that may be very happy to continue notjust to look at these measures that i think it's fair to say right now with the violence against women and girls and consultation that is under way we will continue to engage with others and follow up on these points. it’s and follow up on these points. it's clearly unacceptable for any woman to feel unsafe walking the streets. can i propose some practical measures that the home secretary might adopt? can she introduce to vote out much my cctv around the country which would help to make our streets they prefer people and bring evidence where there is a crime committed. can she stop taking people off the dna database. there are huge number of crimes and sexual assault and rape and murder where there is dna evidence available but no match and more people on the dna database that my chance of getting these people off our streets and convicted. can be increased to sentences for people convicted of sexual assault and rape and can we stop the early release and the automatic early release of criminals who still are considered a threat to society? these measures that actually help make our streets safer for everyone. i actually help make our streets safer for everyone-— for everyone. i think my honourable friend for his _ for everyone. i think my honourable friend for his comments _ for everyone. i think

you wait tojoin a number of areas which i suspect if you wait to join that their committee of the parties claim sentencing and courts there, he could actively contribute to make those points. i could

to the treatment of those in attendance at the vigil to commemorate sarah and all those who lost their lives. it ironic that an event intended to highlight the issue of public safety for women was blocked on the grounds of public safety. what happened this weekend is a reminder of what happens then please try to bypass the views of the communities they serve. does the home secretary recognise the high—handed approach of the balance between public safety and the right to protest completely wrong? does the home secretary agree that the police's heavy—handed treatment of female protesters was wrong? will the home secretary now accept to parties and claim sentencing and courts there is ill—conceived? my constituents are very angry about what has happened and want to know what has happened and want to know what the government would do to reassure them that they address violence against women and girls and in the uk police. i violence against women and girls and in the uk police.— in the uk police. i understand the sentiment that _ in the uk police. i understand the sentiment that the _ in the uk police. i understand the sentiment that the honourable i in the uk police. i understand the i sentiment that the honourable lady is just on behalf of her constituents and of this he recognised that a constituency that she represents and the terrible tragic events that have happened and taken place. all our thoughts are clearly lift sarah everard and her family and of course that theyjail that was planned, the police themselves and the metropolitan police have been involved and spent a great deal of time with the organisers and the metropolitan police being very public about that. i will not repeat my comments about ensuring public confidence in policing hence the reason why her majesty's inspectorate are now conducting a full independent review. i think that's appropriate in my comments about saturday evening are on record. and well known. with regards to the police crime sentencing on a list honourable lady has referred to, thatis honourable lady has referred to, that is a manifesto there that this government was elected on and the lives of christ participate in second meeting later on this afternoon. it is not ill—conceived at all. it's for the we live in a democracy and this government works to deliver on that. can i democracy and this government works to deliver on that.— to deliver on that. can i welcome the announced _ to deliver on that. can i welcome the announced in-depth - to deliver on that. can i welcome the announced in-depth review. to deliver on that. can i welcome i the announced in-depth review into the announced in—depth review into the announced in—depth review into the current —— criminaljustice system when it comes to rape and sexual assault. that's my right honourable friend agree that every part of the criminaljustice system has to play its role in bringing perpetrators to justice and better supporting victims. there is a lot of rape happening within marriage and it's not the best situation when people have been married under the age of 18 to a man who is much older. could my right honourable friend also look at that to see how we can stop that sort of situation arising? i we can stop that sort of situation arisini ? ., ~' we can stop that sort of situation arisini ? ., ,, ., _ , arising? i would like to pay tribute to her for her— arising? i would like to pay tribute to her for her work _ arising? i would like to pay tribute to her for her work and _ arising? i would like to pay tribute i to her for her work and campaigning to herfor her work and campaigning on this particular issue and of course she's absolutely right that this is about the criminaljustice system from an end to end perspective. from policing right through notjust to charging but actually conviction as well and that is effectively what the police bear is effectively what the police bear is about. the police crime sentencing and courts there which is why it goes across two departments. the rape if you accept is fundamentally important because obviously the numbers have not been coming in the right direction. we have to understand the lessons as to why charging decisions have been how they are. also the impact on witnesses and victims themselves. victims and the attrition that takes place today and even going to court. there is a lot of work taking place in this area. i should also mention that prime minister leads to crime and justice task force and this is one of those fundamental issues across government notjust home—office but across the mlj where we are bringing these core elements together with working with the cps and these issues are aimed to the entire system. flan and these issues are aimed to the entire system-— entire system. can i send my condolences _ entire system. can i send my condolences and _ entire system. can i send my condolences and thoughts i entire system. can i send my condolences and thoughts to | entire system. can i send my. condolences and thoughts to the family and friends of sarah everard at this most difficult of times? the scenes of women being forced to the ground, restrained, and arrested simply for holding a peaceful vigil in memory of sarah everard and in condemnation of violence against women and girls were utterly disgraceful. of course then that commission express it must resign but can i ask the home secretary what personnel responsibility she herself has for the terrible handling of this peaceful vigil? did the home secretary speak to the net commissioner in the run up to the vigil? if so, willshe commissioner in the run up to the vigil? if so, will she tell the house now what guidance and advice she gave the met police in advance of the vigil. the she gave the met police in advance of the vigil-— of the vigil. the honourable gentleman _ of the vigil. the honourable gentleman is _ of the vigil. the honourable gentleman is right - of the vigil. the honourable gentleman is right in - of the vigil. the honourable gentleman is right in the i of the vigil. the honourable . gentleman is right in the sense of the vigil. the honourable - gentleman is right in the sense that the list seems way distressed and there is no question about that at all. i have already spoken about the measures that are now in place in terms of getting assurance in their way in which the metropolitan police conducted obviously the operations. they are independent and there is now the lessons learned independent review taken place. i have been in touch with the metropolitan police commissioner. on friday and throughout the weekend. we have had extensive discussions in terms of planning, preparation forthe extensive discussions in terms of planning, preparation for the pigeon over the weekend. i should however emphasise on friday it was legal action under way so, until that legal action has been determined and of course metropolitan police commissioner on the neck police themselves were engaging with the organisers of the vigil, there were various plans that the police were working on. i will be very clear on friday, my views were known and they were based on the fact that people who wanted to pay tribute obviously within the locality, they 90 year independent inc. and cannot forget that we are in a health pandemic and that we are in a health pandemic and that people who live locally, clearly who were either out on a daily basis passing through laying flowers is absolutely the right thing to do and we saw people doing that. as i have said, those scenes on saturday evening were upsetting and that's the reason why i asked the metropolitan police commission act to provide the report and what happened and now why we have a lessons learned review into the operational impact in terms of what happened. the home secretary priti patel is updating mps in the house she was describing the scene on saturday as distressing and upsetting and she said while the police are operationally independent she has asked the metropolitan police for a report into what had happened. our political correspondent damian grammaticas is at westminster. can you sum up what we were hearing from the home secretary and some of the other mps asking questions? what the other mps asking questions? what ou're the other mps asking questions? what you're seeing — the other mps asking questions? what you're seeing is _ the other mps asking questions? what you're seeing is this _ the other mps asking questions? hisisgit you're seeing is this balancing act that the home secretary trying to achieve. obviously, she's very sensitive to the public opinion around this incident and the online expressions and anger about the way the police handle the policing of that vigil on saturday night and he arrests that were made and some of their treatment of women there. she talked about those scenes being distressing and she talked about asking for this independent inquiry by the inspector of constabulary into the policing of that evening. at the same time the police were in for a that were brought in by the government during the pandemic. regulations which mean those gatherings of large numbers of people are not possible and she then said she understood the position of the believed and they had a difficultjob and a difficult task enforcing regulations and she was continuing to urge people not to gather in large groups. they were expressions of sympathy for the family and focus on the loss of her life. interestingly the labour party has a similar sort of thing. they too those similar expressions of sympathy of concern focusing on whether there had been many discussions and any operational discussions and any operational discussions that are between the home secretary and the police ahead of that event on saturday and seeing of that event on saturday and seeing of the nda that she had been a lot of the nda that she had been a lot of discussions but that it was up to the police to handle the event themselves. the labour party calling for a release of any of those notes about what may have been said in the run up to that. and may be the anger over the policing of eight and there may be some point they can press. we are having this debate that is proceeding the beer that will be talked about i'm that will be talked about it later in the comments and of the measures in that and debris saying they don't go far enough and seeing there are many measures that tackle the sort of thing.— tackle the sort of thing. thank you ve much tackle the sort of thing. thank you very much for— tackle the sort of thing. thank you very much for this. _ 5089 new cases reported on monday according to the government figures there. a further 64 new deaths within 28 days and in total number of people vaccinated 24,000153 and they have not received their first dose of the covid—19 vaccine and thatis dose of the covid—19 vaccine and that is the latest figure and getting the first dose of the vaccine. speaking of the vaccine across europe there are now countries that are deciding not to administerfor countries that are deciding not to administer for the countries that are deciding not to administerfor the time being. administer for the time being. france administerfor the time being. france and italy have joined germany in becoming the latest germany in becoming the latest countries to suspend use of the astrazeneca vaccine as a precautionary measure, over concerns of possible side effects. french president emmanuel macron said the country would stop administering the vaccine pending an assessment by the european union's medicine regulator on tuesday. the republic of ireland made a similar decision over the weekend following reports of blood clotting in recipients in norway. but the world health organization says there is no indication of a link between the vaccine and blood clots. the announcements by follow similar moves by denmark, norway, bulgaria, iceland and thailand. some european countries have stopped using certain batches of the drug as a precautionary measure. the european medicines agency is currently carrying out a review into incidents of blood clots. it says the vaccine's benefits continue to outweigh its risks. about 17 million people in the european union and the uk have received a dose of the vaccine, with less than 40 cases of blood clots reported as of last week, astrazeneca said. that's no higher than would be found in a normal population sample. joininig me now is our health correspondent, nick triggle. we have a domino effect of one country after another —— another deciding it wants to put on pause using the astrazeneca vaccine of people can be asking why exactly. $5 people can be asking why exactly. s you people can be asking why exactly. is you just people can be asking why exactly. sis you just said, 37 cases of people having blood clots after being vaccinated. when they are monitoring the roll—out they have regular reporting about adverse events after vaccination and what is crucial if they look at whether the numbers of adverse events are higher than you would expect to normally would happen anyway. is it a coincidence or is it causing levels and id below what they would expect and there is about 3000 people who suffer blood clots. so it's surprising to some that the european countries are taking this step and that european regulator has said you can still continue using the astrazeneca vaccine mbr meeting tomorrow to discuss some of these reports as you mentioned and health organisation said there is no evidence and the uk junk regulator has also said there is no evidence and it will continue to be used in the uk. the is no evidence and it will continue to be used in the uk.— to be used in the uk. the issue is nartl to be used in the uk. the issue is partly reputational _ to

this and we had seen this in germany or france where it initially they did not approve use of the vaccine and once there was evidence presented agreed to give it to the over 65 but what they found is they have circled —— struggled to convince people to take their vaccine. they have used up less than half the supplies. of the astrazeneca vaccine and they have been given this is not risk—free

serious sexual offences have lost their case in the court of appeal. they had claimed that a change of policy had meant rape victims were being let down, and that the number of prosecutions had �*collapsed.’ but the cps said there'd been no recent change in their approach. andrea simon is director of the charity end violence against women. she told us how disappointed she was in the ruling. the idp disappointed by the ruling and it seems like a betrayal of women at this point. we have argued that they changed its approach to charging and that led to a fighting being charge. the court has found to determine the cause of that dramatic collapse in the prosecution and the evidence that we put forward to support our claims and it was a number of cases that weren't charged in unbelievable circumstances and attacks at knife—point and there was that had the offenders admit to what they had done and none of that was really taken they had done and none of that was really ta ken into they had done and none of that was really taken into consideration and less then 3% of rapes that are appointed currently be —— need to charge and we would say that situation amounts to the effective decriminalisation of rape and systemic feelings for wanting to seek protection for the criminal justice system. for that reason we are disappointed that it feels right to bring the case and there was no other avenue open to us to try and get a kind admit the two happiest devastating impact on women who report that they have been raped. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. for many of us, the rest of the day looking pretty quiet. there will be a fair bit of cloud around but also some sunny spells, however we do have a line of showers that have formed across parts of the east midlands, down towards london and sussex, and i think those showers will still be around well on into the afternoon, quite widespread as well. further north—west we have got some rain on the way to west scotland, and perhaps a few spots in northern ireland, but otherwise a lot of dry and bright weather through the rest of the day. overnight tonight, rain across the north west will sink its way south—east, eventually turning wet across the midlands, rain just about getting to east anglia but probably staying dry in the south—east. the heaviest rain for scotland and northern ireland. it will be a mild night for all of us. tomorrow, this area of rain is going to be pushing its way southwards and eastwards through the day and behind this area of rain, this is a cold front, the skies get much clearer so scotland and northern ireland seeing the best of the afternoon sunshine tomorrow. it will start to feel a bit fresher, though, as the sunshine comes out across the north west. that's your weather. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... france, germany and italy suspend use of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine over concern about blood clots. regulators insist it is

from their twenty20 defeat by india yesterday when they play the third match of the series tomorrow. roy's topped scored for the tourists in their first two matches in ahmedabad. i'm very confident. obviously, easier said than done, they are a class team, but the way we started the series in that first game was a bit more comprehensive than what they gave to us last night. so going into the second game, still full of confidence. we found it difficult, our last game time, our batting we found a bit difficult, but i think we are a fast learning side, sol don't think there has been huge

from the sports centre. more now on our top story. italy, france and germany are the latest european nations suspending use of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine. at the weekend the republic of ireland and the netherlands made a similar decision after norway reported instances of blood clots developing in people who've had the jab. the manufacturer and the world health organisation say there's no proof of any link. i'm joined by professor adam finn, a member of the government's joint committee on vaccination and immunisation. thank you for being with us. how worried are you that we are seeing a string of big european countries now deciding to pause, to put on hold using the oxford vaccine? i’m deciding to pause, to put on hold using the oxford vaccine? i'm not worried about _ using the oxford vaccine? i'm not worried about the _ using the oxford vaccine? i'm not worried about the vaccine, - using the oxford vaccine? i'm not worried about the vaccine, but i l using the oxford vaccine? i'm not i worried about the vaccine, but i am very worried about these decisions. because they have very serious negative consequences. obviously, it holds up the roll—out of the vaccine, which we know is highly effective, at a time when many of these countries are experiencing a rapid acceleration in the numbers of cases they are seeing. and of course, it is doing enormous reputational damage. it's confusing the public who will naturally assume there must be a problem if there is a need to suspend the use of the vaccine, when in fact there is no problem that has been detected. we in this country have now given many millions of people this vaccine as well as the pfizer vaccine, and we are not seeing anything above background rates of these thrombosis events for either of the two vaccines at the moment. i think our colleagues and friends in europe could do well to listen to the experience that we have that which is much greater than any of those countries, and not make these kinds of decisions which are really problematic in my view. they say the are problematic in my view. they say they are suspending _ problematic in my view. they say they are suspending it _ problematic in my view. they say they are suspending it while i problematic in my view. they say they are suspending it while they j problematic in my view. they say i they are suspending it while they do further research out of an abundance of caution, but you are saying they have been premature and actually by suspending using the vaccine, i suppose you could argue they may be causing long—term illnesses and deaths because more people potentially will get covid—19? precisely. i think caution is probably the wrong word here. we are all very concerned not to hurt anyone by giving them harmful vaccines, but we don't have any evidence that that is actually happening. we certainly are doing people harm by not giving them but the benefit of perfect —— the benefit of protection. there are many doses of these vaccines in this current —— many doses of these vaccines in this country not being given. vaccines in this country not being iiven. , ,., ~i vaccines in

or another in this country every month. statistically if you are going to administer millions of vaccines, you would expect some of those people to have clots. absolutely. this is a recurrent problem, it has been going on for many years now, that people quite naturally when something happens after something else, they link the two together and assume there must be a causal link. in reality, these events are cut care all the time. it would be bizarre if they weren't continuing to occur at the same rating people as they would be normally, if we weren't having a vaccine campaign. we do need to monitor this. we are doing it very carefully and have a good system in this country. we have got so much more experience now with this vaccine than anyone else, so in terms invest the creations, the best things that people could do is call the nhra and get the date that they are already collecting. you mentioned _ are already collecting. you mentioned reputational damage and thatis mentioned reputational damage and that is quite worrying isn't it in people that are already vaccine hesitant? the numbers in this country are people taking the vaccine are pretty impressive so far, but there are parts of the population, some younger people, ethnic minority people as well who have been a little bit hesitant about taking it. are you worried that this might encourage their hesitancy in fact? i that this might encourage their hesitancy in fact?— that this might encourage their hesitancy in fact? i expect that to be the case _ hesitancy in fact? i expect that to be the case and _ hesitancy

expect that to be the case and that is a real i hesitancy in fact? i expect that to i be the case and that is a real cause for concern. many of the people we most want to protect those who are not currently getting vaccinated, and although the rates of uptake are extremely high in this country, there are still communities where we would really like it to be higher. i'm also concerned for the reputation of the vaccine outside of this country across europe, and indeed across the world. this is the one vaccine that is now becoming widely available for countries who have no other vaccines available. and putting out a message that this vaccine is somehow dangerous is the last thing we need to happen at the moment when there is just the opportunity to start to make an impact on the global epidemic. thank ou so impact on the global epidemic. thank you so much — impact on the global epidemic. thank you so much for— impact on the global epidemic. thank you so much for being _

this point in time with the thrombosis events that have been reported. it seems the authorities are just now worried that this needs at least a further checkup before one can say this is safe to continue. this is the situation we have here. i agree this is a really unfortunate situation. it is an application of the precautionary principle, but it has serious implications for the cause of the vaccination campaign. that is quite clear. i don't know if you could hear the professor before you could hear the professor before you saying that still sits —— statistically, you would expect some of the many millions of people across europe who have been vaccinated with this jab to develop blood clots because a lot of the population get blood clots from time to time. ,, , ,., ., , to time. quite

connected in time currently with the vaccination, this is when people get alert. and the issueis is when people get alert. and the issue is that there is a lot of public and medical eye on the situation right now, so this is why these events get this kind of publicity, which they wouldn't usually get if it wasn't for the vaccination.— usually get if it wasn't for the vaccination. the world

likely to be a safe vaccine and will continue if there is a rare situation or if we are having a rare event that is being reported, we will need to find out whether there is anything more than this time correlation. the german institution says there is something that is happening more frequently than you would expect, a rare event, so that is why they have decided to stop it, which they did not

a problem, as well, perhaps do not talk about it and put it out there that things have been seen. so, trust can be generated through various aspects, but mainly it is going to be a real, something that needs to be communicated well and needs to be communicated well and needs to be checked very fast, because i really am worried that the vaccination campaigns get derailed somehow. , ., ., .,

here's how london and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. a legal challenge against the crown prosecution service, over its policy on prosecuting alleged rape and other serious sexual offences, has been dismissed by the court of appeal. the case was brought by the end violence against women coalition, which claimed that a change in the charging policy for rape and sexual assault cases by the cps was "unlawful". after the change, in 2016 — 2018, the number of prosecutions for rape fell dramatically. we'll bring you more on that in a few minutes but let's go to the world health organization on the astrazeneca vaccine. iniini’hat world health organization on the astrazeneca vaccine.— astrazeneca vaccine. what most

around the world asking when their country will receive their vaccines through kovacs. some of them are frustrated and i understand why. they see some of the worlds richest countries buying enough immune vaccines to immunise their country several times over, while their own countries have nothing. we welcome the commitment by the quite countries to deliver up to 1 billion doses of vaccines in the region. we continue to call for all countries to work in solidarity to ensure that vaccination begins in all countries within the first hundred days of this year. we have 26 days left. no country

the time being. let's go back to that story i was mentioning. a legal case against the cps has been dismissed by the court of appeal. the case was brought by the end violence against women coalition, which claimed that a change in the charging policy for rape and sexual assault cases by the cps was "unlawful". after the change, in 2016 — 2018, the number of prosecutions for rape fell dramatically. earlier one of the complainants, bonny turner, whose case was used in the appeal, and who has waived her right to anonymity, said the ruling sent the wrong message to perpetators. deeply shocked, angry, devastated, really. today's judgment, for me, really sends a clear signal to violent men and boys that they can rape with impunity. we have a government that currently is signalling that they are going to increase rape prosecutions, and yet the courts have not upheld the decision, or not upheld the claim by the end violence against women coalition that the cps has allowed or caused the rape prosecution rate to the fall to an all—time low, 1.4% last year. that is only one out of 71 reported rape cases. so, effectively, rape has been decriminalised. and the courts have missed this opportunity to put right, or to acknowledge the fact that victims of rape, like me, have been robbed ofjustice for the last few years. joining me now is kate ellis from the centre for women'sjustice. what is your reaction to this ruling? do you agree with what bunny was just saying that it effectively amounts to the decriminalisation of rape? i amounts to the decriminalisation of ra ne? .. amounts to the decriminalisation of ra ne? ,. , ., amounts to the decriminalisation of ra ne? ~i , ., ., rape? i think when you hear the fiiures, rape? i think when you hear the figures. it _ rape? i think

fit for purpose, because the volume of cases that are even making it to charge, that even have a chance of making it in front of a court, we are talking a minimal proportion of cases. i think it is deeply concerning and are very deeply disappointing outcome. i think the victims of this awful crime, like bonnie turner who we heard from, i think this will feel like a real rejection by the establishment and the last opportunity to hold the criminaljustice the last opportunity to hold the criminal justice system the last opportunity to hold the criminaljustice system to account for this completely unprecedented sharp decline in prosecutions that we have seen in the last five years. just explain to our viewers exactly what, as you see it, the crown prosecution service changed their rules, their approach. as i said the court of appeal said that change was not a change of legal substance. they dismissed the legal challenge, but what are you saying the cps change that was so... has caused such share lapse in prosecution? whether you characterise it as a change in policy or messaging, the cps took a number of measures in 2016 which were essentially designed to drive up its rate of convictions, so the proportion of cases charged resulted in a conviction, they were hoping to drive that figure up. they introduced a conviction of targets for rape that was ambitious. they change their legal guidance to change their legal guidance to change their legal guidance to change the messaging for prosecutors and they held a training that which they instructed prosecutors that the cps should be winning more cases than they were losing. they should be focused on weeding weak cases out of their system. none of that is disputed by the cps, but the cps say this was a mere touch on the tiller. they were seeking to correct some misunderstandings that perhaps had crept in when prosecutors were approaching cases, and in particular there had been for rape trials that resulted in an acquittal that year which resulted in adverse publicity for the cps that they were concerned about. against this backdrop, they decided that our prosecutors were charging without all of the evidence gathered being sufficient, and they were worried that was driving up the number of acquittals that they were seeing following trial. so, they took a number of policy measures designed to steer policy prosecutors away from their merits based prosecutions, objective, open approach to the evidence. our submission to the court was that this was in oversteer. even if there were concerns that prosecutors had misunderstood the approach that should be taken to the evidential test, what they were practising with the messaging was they encourage prosecutors to be much more risk averse and really look out for those easy cases that were going to result in a conviction. i think that is reflected in the figures because after 2016, you start to see pretty quickly this sort of x escalating decline in rape prosecutions. the volume of prosecutions fell by half over a two—year period. iniini’hat volume of prosecutions fell by half over a two-year period. what needs to chanie over a

to be a change of culture at the cps. 0f be a change of culture at the cps. of course they should only prosecute cases where the evidential test is met, but they can't be driven away by fear of adverse publicity if they rape defendant is acquitted and that inevitably attracts publicity. we were concerned the more we looked at the evidence that they had this sort of knee jerk and cavalier approach to fiddling with policy in this very sensitive and difficult area of crime. i think the cps need to take responsibility and incentivise their prosecutors to tackle difficult cases and build them so there is the best chance of conviction at the end of the trial, but as i also think if the cps are not doing that and if they take thisjudgment the cps are not doing that and if they take this judgment today that they take this judgment today that they can keep doing what they are doing in the volume of prosecutions can remain low, at that stage, we need to see the government intervening. there have been a lot of platitudes over the past few days about how we need to end violence against women, threats to women safety once and for all, but we need to see a multi—agency approach and institutions held to account where they are failing to meet standards. good to talk to you. thank you very much for being with us. she acted for the end violence against women coalition. in the last few minutes we have heard there will be a meeting on thursday about the astrazeneca vaccine. it is said their benefits still outweigh the risks. it is being reviewed as to how safe it really is as blood clot debts led to several countries suspending its use. we have also heard from the world health organization saying that they believe the vaccine is still safe. we'll have much more on that in the next hour. first of all, let's pause and take a look at the latest weather, forecasts for you. hello there. for many of us, the rest of the day looking pretty quiet. there will be a fair bit of cloud around but also some sunny spells, however we do have a line of showers that have formed across parts of the east midlands, down towards london and sussex, and i think those showers will still be around well on into the afternoon, quite widespread as well. further north—west we have got some rain on the way to west scotland, and perhaps a few spots in northern ireland, but otherwise a lot of dry and bright weather through the rest of the day. overnight tonight, rain across the north west will sink its way south—east, eventually turning wet across the midlands, rain just about getting to east anglia but probably staying dry in the south—east. the heaviest rain for scotland and northern ireland. it will be a mild night for all of us. tomorrow, this area of rain is going to be pushing its way southwards and eastwards through the day and behind this area of rain, this is a cold front, the skies get much clearer so scotland and northern ireland seeing the best of the afternoon sunshine tomorrow. it will start to feel a bit fresher, though, as the sunshine comes out across the north west. that's your weather. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines. france, germany and italy suspend use of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine over concern about blood clots — regulators insist it is safe. the world health organization has said there is no evidence that the incidents are caused by the vaccine. the home secretary says officers were doing a �*difficult�* job, when policing a vigil for sarah everard on saturday night, but calls some of the footage upsetting. in the interests of providing greater assurance and ensuring public confidence, i have asked her majesty's inspectorate of constabulary to conduct a full independent lessons—learned review. the government announces plans for hundreds of new bus lanes and price caps on tickets as part of a new bus strategy for england.
