clots were reported in a small number of people. hundreds of patients may have had "do not resuscitate" decisions placed on them during the pandemic, without them or their families knowing — the care regulator calls for urgent action. people seeking asylum in the uk could be sent abroad while their cases are being processed, under a plans for a major overhaurl of the immigration system expected to be set out next week. and coming up this hour — keeping beauty—spots beautiful — why landowners want more people to pay attention to to the countryside code. good morning and welcome to bbc news. the government is facing questions over why there's to be a significant reduction in covid vaccine supplies from the end of this month. it is understood a delivery of millions of doses of the oxford—astrazeneca jab, produced by the serum institute of india, has been held up by four weeks. after opening up appointments to all over 50s on wednesday, nhs england says jabs should now not be offered to younger age groups throughout april, meaning healthy people in their 40s will have to wait till may. the health secretary, matt hancock, said there was always going to be ups and downs in availability, but labour has accused him of trying to downplay the issue. at the same time, the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, has threatened to restrict covid vaccine exports to some countries, including the uk, if supplies in the eu don't improve. she said the eu was still waiting for vaccines to be delivered from the uk. also today, the eu's drugs regulator is due to present the findings of its investigation into the safety of the astrazeneca covid vaccine. several countries have temporarily stopped using the jab after blood clots were reported in a small number of inoculated people. and the health secretary has confirmed more than 3.7 million vulnerable people in england will no longer have to shield from the coronavirus from one april — as cases and hospitalisations continue to fall. —— from the 1st of april. more on all these stories to follow — this first report from jim reed. another step closer to normality. afternoon, you all right? at gps like this one in lincolnshire, thousands have been given their vaccines this week. there you go — done. that it? that's it. in total, more than 25 million have now beenjabbed. for the next fortnight, there should be plenty of doses to go round. after that, though, there is more doubt. a letter sent by the nhs to local health services warned of a significant reduction in supply next month, and said no further appointments for first doses should be uploaded to booking systems in april. vaccine supply is always lumpy, and we regularly send out technical letters to the nhs to explain the ups and downs of the supply over the future weeks. it's thought the late delivery of batches of the astrazeneca vaccine manufactured at a plant in india are to blame for the shortfall. nobody who has an appointment should lose their slot, but this may delay the roll—out to the next age group down — those in their 40s — by perhaps as much as a month. it comes as the european commission suggested it could block exports of the pfizer vaccine to the uk, unless otherjabs are sent back across the channel in return. meanwhile, 13 eu states have still suspended the use of the astrazeneca shot over concerns about rare blood clots. an investigation into that by the eu medicines agency is due to report back this afternoon. keeping up the pace of vaccine supply is crucial if the government is going to stick to its roadmap out of lockdown. the recent fall in infections means that almost four million vulnerable people in england have now been told they no longer need to shield from next month. the reason we've done that is because the rates of community infection have now dropped a long way and they've been sustained. and we recognise that actually advising people to shield for more than about 12 weeks can be really quite damaging for their mental health. so i think good news for all of them. as for the vaccine programme, the government said supply of the jabs will vary over time, but it remains on track to offer a first dose to all over—50s in england by mid—april, and all adults by the end ofjuly. jim reed, bbc news. speaking a little earlier the housing secretary robertjenrick says plans to offer a first dose to all adults by the end ofjuly are still on track despite the issue. we are experiencing some supply issues, so it does mean that the vaccine roll—out will be slightly slower than we might have hoped, but not slower than the target that we have set ourselves, which is, as i say, to get those groups one to nine by the middle of april. and if you have appointments, they will still be honoured. so we are going to move forward as quickly as we possibly can, but it won't be as fast as we might have hoped for a few weeks. but then, we have every reason to believe that supply will increase in the months of may, june and july. let's speak to our medical editor fergus walsh. good morning to you. let's begin with this issue. the latest issue of the delay of the soul apply —— of the delay of the soul apply —— of the supply in india. what detail do you have on why that is the case? my you have on why that is the case? m understanding you have on why that is the case? m: understanding is you have on why that is the case? m; understanding is that there was a deal to supplied 10 million doses and that was announced the 3rd of march. but only 5 million of those are on their way. they are supposed to be delivered this month. the exact reason for that is unclear. i suspect and many will suspect, that it may be a domestic political issue in india about exporting doses, given that by volume it is the worlds biggest vaccine producer. there may have been some eyebrows raised about why are we sending doses to the uk. i am told that those doses will get here. that is partly an explanation for why there is this lump in supply next month. the other thing is, the vaccine roll—out has been going amazingly well in the uk and so many people have now had their first dose, 25 million. i guess at some point, there had to be a time where the nhs caught up in terms of doing all the second doses because once the 12 week period have come up, you have to have your second dose. so all these people will need their second shot. i5 these people will need their second shot. , i, , i these people will need their second shot. i, shot. is the domestic supply, production — shot. is the domestic supply, production of _ shot. is the domestic supply, production of the _ shot. is the domestic supply, production of the astra - shot. is the domestic supply, l production of the astra seneca shot. is the domestic supply, - production of the astra seneca at full capacity or can it be ramped up?

eu and the uk have had the astrazeneca vaccine. and there have been fewer than a0 cases reported of blood clots. what the european drugs regulator has been doing is looking at each of those reported cases very carefully to see if it cannot establish any link between the vaccine and the blood clotting because at the moment there is not any evidence to suggest that they are linked. it gave out an initial assessment on tuesday when it said that so far there was no indication that the vaccine was causing the clotting. but we will find out later today whether it has found anything. the indication at the moment is that it has not. it has urged countries along with the who to carry on using the vaccine, saying that at the moment the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. for the countries where there has been a pause in the astrazeneca jab, if the ema later on says that there is no issue here, do you expect those countries to quickly start using it again?— using it again? certainly so. a number of _ using it again? certainly so. a number of countries - using it again? certainly so. a number of countries have - using it again? certainly so. a . number of countries have already come out and said that if it gets the all clear here today, they will immediately start using it again. for some of these countries this is about trust. they know that trust is an issue here and you're. they wanted to make absolutely sure that this was a cautionary measure so they could say to people this vaccine is safe and once they get the all clear, if they get it, they will carry on using it. there have been some who have a question whether they should have breast pause before having the evidence given that we know every day this vaccine is saving many lives. qm. vaccine is saving many lives. 0k, thank you — vaccine is saving many lives. 0k, thank you very — vaccine is saving many lives. 0k, thank you very much _ vaccine is saving many lives. 0k, thank you very much for that. we will bring you the announcement from the ema later on today. have people here seen any... joining me now to discuss this is gp and tv personality dr zoe williams. what have you seen by way of people's attitudes toward the astrazeneca vaccine? have you seen any noticeable difference because some countries had decided to pause using it? some countries had decided to pause usin: it? , i, , , some countries had decided to pause usin. it? , , , using it? yes, absolutely, people have been _ using it? yes, absolutely, people have been asking _ using it? yes, absolutely, people have been asking questions - using it? yes, absolutely, people have been asking questions and l using it? yes, absolutely, people i have been asking questions and that is understandable because people are coming from a place where there is already vaccine hesitancy. most people we have seen come forward and take the vaccine once it is available. particular people from certain ethnic groups there is hesitancy. this is adding more fuel to the fire. as a gp it is myjob to answer those questions. the conversations i've been having is around explaining what is the background. we know that about one in 1000 people each year will sadly get a blood clot anyway so what they are looking into in europe is these people who have suffered a blood clot sadly, would they have suffered one anyway had they not had the vaccine? and all of these organisations are giving the indication that they expect the answer to be yes. and that there will not be any direct link between the vaccine and the blood clots. 0nce the vaccine and the blood clots. once we have that report this afternoon we can fully reassure people to get on doing what we do best which is vaccinating people and protecting them. that best which is vaccinating people and protecting them-— protecting them. that is a reassurance, _ protecting them. that is a reassurance, the - protecting them. that is a i reassurance, the explanation protecting them. that is a -

ahead? most people in my experience are happy to go ahead after an explanation with someone that they trust. of course not everybody has been calling up to have that conversation. we have some people cancelling their appointments. i remain positive and hopeful that once this issue is dealt with, we can draw a line under it this afternoon and we can get on with the delivery of this crucially important vaccination programme that is going to get our lives back to normal. it bears repetition i think, the message we have been hearing from doctors and scientists is that if people take up their offer of a vaccine, it reduces the opportunity for this virus to grow, but also very importantly for variants of the virus to emerge.— virus to emerge. exactly. the best wa we virus to emerge.

the safety of the astrazeneca jab today — several countries have paused the rollout after blood clots were reported in a small number of people. hundreds of patients may have had "do not resuscitate" decisions placed on them during the pandemic, without them or their families knowing — the care regulator calls for urgent action. we are going to pick we are up up what that story now. the care regulator for england has said hundreds of people may have been subject to "do not resuscitate" decisions during the early part of the pandemic — without them or their families knowing. a report by the care quality commission found evidence that the dnr decisions — which restrict potentially life—saving treatment — were applied across particular groups, including people with learning difficulties. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. sonia had an absolute zest for life, loved being with herfamily, you know — always smiling, always laughing. son has got the moves. sonia deleon suffered from schizophrenia and had learning disabilities. but it was only after she died in hospital from a heart attack last april that her family say they discovered her medical notes contained a "do not resuscitate" decision — limiting the treatment that sonia could receive. we'd had no consultation. at no point — at no point — were we told that that had taken place. we would have disputed that and we would have said we don't want that in place. the hospital insists the family consented to the decision — including discussing it with sonia's 85—year—old mother. i can't describe the love that my mum has for son. aww! mum's been waiting to hear your voice. i there is no way that she would agree to that being put in place. absolutely no way at all. southend university hospital were responsible for treating sonia deleon. they say the "do not resuscitate" decision was appropriate, and based on assessments by clinicians. today's report makes no reference to sonia's case, but does find that over 500 people — mainly elderly or disabled — had "do not resuscitate" decisions made for them without their consent or that of their relatives. the true scale of the problem could be much greater, however. any decision that's put in in a blanket fashion or in a way that doesn't take into consideration a person's individual needs is never acceptable. one of the things we found through the review is that trying to quantify this problem has been very difficult because of the lack of oversight and the lack of record—keeping and data. the cqc say the pressure of the pandemic and rapidly developing guidance were to blame for the problems. they want a group of ministers to come together to fully investigate what happened. nhs england say that throughout the pandemic they had repeatedly told those making dnr decisions that that blanket use was unacceptable. sonia deleon's family want more safeguards put in place to protect those who can't help themselves. today's report suggests many other families would also benefit from such measures. michael buchanan, bbc news. we can speak now to rosie bennyworth, chief inspector of primary medical services and integrated care, care quality commission. she is a former gp herself. thank you for your time today. spell out for us to make things really clear at the beginning what the best practice is around a

cases, we would like the individuals to be involved in the discussions. and the law is very clear on that. at the start of the pandemic, we know how busy and under pressure hospitals and doctors and nurses were. at the start of this pandemic and this is the time we are talking about that your report looks at, can you see any excuse, any plausible reason why dnr decisions would have been made without the consultation? we think this is a problem that existed before the pandemic. the pandemic has exposed this. we know that we were living in unprecedented times. we know that health care professionals have been working tirelessly and have been under huge pressure, new pressures and new challenges every day particularly at the start of the pandemic. that said, it is never acceptable to be putting blanket dnrs in place and we need to make sure that this doesn't happen. we need to look forward to make sure that improvements happen across the health care sector. we need to make sure that individuals are involved in these discussions. time is of the issue, what is your timeframe for this?— timeframe for this? firstly, if an one timeframe for this? firstly, if anyone is _ timeframe

their cases are being processed. it's thought the proposals are part of a major shake—up of the immigration system to be announced by the home secretary, priti patel, next week. similar plans were leaked last year, when labour described them as inhumane and impractical. let's get more from our chief political correspondent adam fleming. good morning to you. a slight sense of deja vu with this

legislation that will reform the asylum legislation. it is going to be a centrepiece of the queen's speech i am told. this is going to be a dominating issue for the next session of parliament. i think it will be one of the big stories for the next few years. you talk about how it has been speculated upon since last year, well actually it was tony blair who first proposed this 18 years ago, which

proposals for the creation of a new temporary, power—sharing government in the country — which would include the taliban. it comes as senior delegates from the opposing sides meet in moscow along with american, chinese and pakistani representatives. secunder kermani joins us from kabul. you met the former president and spoke to him of this proposal. what were his thoughts? as we are seeing this new push to find a solution?— find a solution? former president has come out _ find a solution? former president has come out saying _ find a solution? former president has come out saying one - find a solution? former president has come out saying one of i find a solution? former president has come out saying one of the i find a solution? former president i has come out saying one of the most vocal proponents of this new proposal for this transitional power—sharing government. as you say, what we are seeing at the moment is a renewed diplomatic drive to find a solution to this conflict and that is because over the past few months, talks that have been taken place between afghan and the taliban officials have yet to make any progress. violence on the ground has been happening. the us is pushing for a temporary power—sharing government that would incorporate the taliban. they would rule the country until a new constitution has been draughted by the various different sides and it is hoped that it would lead to a cease—fires. there are big obstacles to this. the taliban is still studying the proposal. the current president is still opposed to it and will only hand over power fresh elections. and there is no sign that the taliban would agree to that. but this proposal has found the support of a number of senior afghan officials. the former president called on his successor to show more flexibility. he wants an election. if the taliban agree to that, that is good enough for us. doesn't seem to be any sign. but if that doesn't happen, then what do we do? we agree with you that there must be an election, but if that doesn't happen, then we allow the country to keep staying in this very unfortunate conflict? no. in that case, it is upon all of us including president ghani to think of an alternative. us officials want to see progress of some kind by the 1st of may. that deadline was set in an agreement signed by the trump administration and the taliban last year, you may remember, for all remaining foreign forces to be withdrawn from the country. critics see this idea of a transitional government as an attempt to get a short cut to peace, they say it's laden with risk, they say there are major concerns about what the taliban �*s stance is on democracy, women's rights but all the time talk and negotiations are going on, the conflict continues and more and more ordinary people die. this morning in campbell at least four people were killed in an attack on a minibus carrying government employees. on a minibus carrying government employees-— employees.

degrees. tonight, we hang onto all of the cloud and also this rain continuing across england and wales. murky conditions across parts of scotland and northern ireland with some drizzle, some hill fog, coastal mist as well. not a particularly cold night more or less across the board. as we head into tomorrow, once again it is going to be fairly cloudy. there will be some breaks in the cloud, still some spots of rain across england and wales, brightening up in the southeast. here we will have a northeasterly breeze, so right in the coastline, it will feel cool. the highest temperatures will be

in deliveries from india is partly to blame. the vaccine roll—out will be slightly slower than we might have hoped but not slower than the target that we'd set ourselves which is, as i said, to get the groups 1—9 by the middle of april. and if you have appointments they will still be honoured. the eu's drugs regulator will give itsjudgement on the safety of the astrazeneca jab today — several countries have paused the rollout after blood clots were reported in a small number of people hundreds of patients may have had "do not resuscitate" decisions placed on them during the pandemic, without them or their families knowing — the care regulator calls for urgent action people seeking asylum in the uk could be sent abroad while their cases are being processed, under plans for a major overhaurl of the immigration system expected to be set out next week. and coming up — keeping beauty—spots beautiful — why landowners want more people to pay attention to the countryside code sport and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, here's mike bushell. good morning. chelsea's incredible run under their new boss has now taken them into the quarter—finals of the champions league, thanks to a convincing 3—0 aggregate win over the spanish league leaders, atletico madrid. andy swiss reports. hoping to make it an english hat trick for chelsea, a chance tojoin liverpool and manchester city in the quarterfinals, but despite leading 1—0 from the first leg, they were soon living dangerously. atletico madrid with an early penalty shout and replays suggested cezar azpilicueta was a lucky man. but there was nothing lucky about this, as chelsea counterattacked to thrilling effect. commentator: there's the goal they wanted! i that should have settled any nerves. and it left chelsea firmly in control at the break. after it, they continue to dominate. ziyech once again showing his skills as atletico tried to cling on. but instead, their nightjust got worse. an elbow to antonio rudiger�*s chest earning stefan savic a red card before in stoppage time substitute emerson confirmed chelsea's win with his very first touch. his watching team—mates certainly enjoyed it. and with the quarterfinals now beckoning, well, who can blame them? andy swiss, bbc news. they play with a special bond and fixtures like this and results like this give you the certain edge and the certain glue to achieve special things. you can only do this with a special atmosphere and right now, we are in this draw and i'm pretty sure nobody wants also to play against us. chelsea's women are equally impressive, back on top of the super league after beating everton 3—0. it's chelsea's sixth away win in a row in the wsl. melanie leupolz scored late on and what a run it's been having won the league cup at the weekend. england could seal a t20 series victory against india today. they lead 2—1 going into the fourth match but, it could all come down to who wins the toss. the side electing to bat second has won every match of this series so far — and england's record wicket—taker in tests, jimmy anderson, told the bbc�*s tailenders podcast that shouldn't be the case. lots been talked about the wicket at this ground and i don't want to bang on about it but it clearly wasn't great, the two that they produced for these two games weren't great and the toss was massive and i don't think, t20 cricket, the toss shouldn't have an effect on the result. no way. it should be two teams batting it out for a0 overs and the best one comes out on top. the all—england 0pen is the wimbledon for the sport of badminton, but it was affected by corona virus on the opening day. the entire indonesian contingent, has been withdrawn, and told to self—isolate for ten days by the nhs track and trace team. a fellow—passenger on their flight to the uk tested positive for covid—19. indonesian players were expected to win titles in birmingham — among those forced to pull out are the top seeds in the men's doubles and the current world champions. another member of the tokyo 0lympics organising team has resigned after making derogatory comments about women. creative director, hiroshi sasaki, suggested comedian naomi watanabe, who is a plus—size model, should wear pig ears, at the opening ceremony. he later apologised, admitting it was "a huge insult". last month, yoshiro mori was forced to quit as president of the organising committee, after his sexist remarks sparked outrage. jockey keith dononghue said tiger roll was "just a legend", after they won the cross country chase at cheltenham. he's one of the smallest horses injump racing, but he'll go down as one of its icons — he's won the grand national twice, and now five races at the festival. donoghue said if it wasn't for tiger roll, he wouldn't be riding. that's all the sport for now. mike, thank you and take care. labour says a fully independent, public inquiry into the coronavirus pandemic should start injune, when most restrictions are due to end. ministers insist the focus should be on the vaccine rollout. and deputy chief medical officer jonathan van—tam said that he thought launching one imminently would be "an extra burden that wasn't necessary". but rachel reeves, shadow chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, says she believes it's important to learn lessons as soon as possible. the people who need to be front and centre of all of this are the families who have lost loved ones. and i've spent quite a lot of time speaking to those family members and — i'll never forget the stories that they have told me about their grief and their need for some sort of understanding of what happened and for them, you're not going to be able to get the closure, the justice that is needed until that inquiry happens. but i'm also, and i think this is so important, we've got to learn lessons. i said last summer that it would have been a good idea to have a rapid review to learn lessons to save lives going into the _ autumn and winter. i really regret that the government did not do that. because i think lessons could have been learned then that could have helped us as we went into the second and third waves which many were predicting at the time. and the same is true today. the road map is supposed to be completed by the 21st ofjune. that is the perfect opportunity then to launch and get on with this inquiry so that we can learn lessons. every day this week, as we approach the first anniversary of the uk lockdown, we will be taking a look to the events that built up to that moment. on this day last year the prime minister borisjohnson announced that schools in england would be closing. looking at the curve of the disease, looking at where we are now, we think now that we must apply downward pressure, further downward pressure on the upward curve by closing the schools. so i can announce today and gavin williamson is making a statement now in the house of commons that after schools shut their gates from friday afternoon, they will remain closed for most pupils, the vast majority of pupils, until further notice. liz rymer is the headteacher of whitefield school, a secondary school in barnet, north london shejoins me now. thank you very much for your time today. take us back to this time last year. what you were thinking, feeling, as we faced, all of us, huge change. yes. faced,

still having to make so many changes to how we run the school in terms of wearing masks, how we operate day to day so all of these things are causing school to be very different to what it was before the pandemic. and obviously things like extracurricular activities and all our productions and concerts and things like that, we are still waiting as to whether or not we can run those so it's still different. everyone has missed out of course but which pupils have missed out most, in your opinion? i but which pupils have missed out most, in your opinion?— most, in your opinion? i think all

difficult as well, supporting free school meals has been problematic and not helped by changes which the government brought in quite late. getting students online, making sure students online, making sure students have access to things that they need it, it's quite frustrating and took quite a long time. wearing masks is a big challenge. it makes us feel aware and i suppose still keeps us very sharp, the virus is still out there so in some ways my squaring is good. but obviously it means you can't see people's faces and you can't interact with students as well as you would normally. lots of

visiting our beaches, national parks and beauty spots in the coming months. as we saw last year, however — more visitors means more litter, damage and anti—social behaviour. landowners want to tackle those issues with a new "countryside code" — but time is running out, as our environment and rural affairs correspondent claire marshall reports. this was the end of last year's lockdown — people wanted to party — but from to the yorkshire dales to bournemouth beach and across britain it was often left to armies of volunteers to pick up the pieces. many were drawn to dartmoor national park. on one occasion we had up to 70 tents in just this small area of common land. they dug fire pits, there were burn marks where they had barbecues, there was litter left all over this area and they were using this area as a human toilet. and i came down one sunday and it almost brought me to tears. you may not know it, but there is actually a government code on how to behave. the thing i enjoy about the countryside the most is the peace... amongst the rules — don't have barbecues, keep dogs under control and leave no trace. i think you should treat the countryside as you would treat your home. but this was the last major publicity campaign — it'517 years old. this website doesn't exist any more. can i go now? author guy shrubsole discovered the government has only spent around £2,000 a year since 2010 promoting the code. i think the government have really neglected their duty to promote the countryside code and the principles of protecting the countryside. they really, really need to start developing a better culture of greater access to nature, but more responsible access to nature. if we don't have the government promoting the countryside code, i don't think we can have politicians turning around and going, "people shouldn't be accessing these places because they don't know how to behave," because the government aren't doing their part in promoting the right behaviours. we've all been cooped up for months, and this is just the kind of place you might want to come — durdle door on england's south coast — but last year after lockdown there was a real litter problem here. and it's notjust that it looks awful — it's the impact on the wildlife. the tide comes in, and it can be washed out to sea and ingested by fish, and also birds come down and feed on it, and the owner is really worried. years ago we used to have this keep britain tidy campaign which banged on and on and on about it and we see nothing at the moment — absolutely nothing. and the impact and the damage — the impact it's having on the countryside and the damage it's causing to our environment is considerable, so...it must be worth doing something. the government says it does have plans to refresh and publicise the code, but in just a few weeks we will be given a lot more freedom. great for us — but it may not be so good for the natural world. claire marshall, bbc news, dorset. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. over the next few days, there will be quite a bit of calderon. we will see sunshine, equally some of us will see some rain and that's the case today. a lot of the ring will be in the east, but not all of it, some of the travelling quite a bit further west. what's happening is we have high pressured dominating the weather, you see all this cloud toppling around the top of it. the centre of the high pressure is here and around that, the air moves in a clockwise direction so the breeze coming in from the north sea will either be northerly or north—easterly and we have a weather front sinking south and that is what is bringing in all this rain. rain across eastern england, getting into the midlands, heading in the direction of the south—west of england, also crossing east anglia, the south—east and into the channel islands and a lot of cloud associated with this. there will be some sunshine in parts of south—west england, parts of wales, the midlands as welts. more sunshine across north—west england, central and southern scotland, but for northern ireland, northern and western scotland, there will be quite a thick cloud and at times you will see some drizzle coming out of that. in any prolonged spells of sunshine across central scotland, you could have temperatures getting up you could have temperatures getting up to 16 or 17 degrees, quite mild for this time of year. generally we are looking at about 10—13 . through this evening and overnight there will be some rain across england and wales. the heaviest of which will be in the east and south, but the rest of the uk, a lot of cloud, murky conditions, some coastal and help folk and also some mist. with the cloud remains broken, temperatures fall down as low as 4 degrees around glasgow but generally holding up. tomorrow high pressure still got a grip on our weather, you see this weather front, grip on our weather, you see this weatherfront, that grip on our weather, you see this weather front, that is going to be drifting eastward through the day, taking its rain with it and it will brighten up behind it for east anglia, the south—east, the east midlands with some sunshine. a north—easterly breeze here means it will feel cool, particularly on the coast, drifting north and west, low cloud, highertemperatures. saturday cloud, higher temperatures. saturday sees cloud, highertemperatures. saturday sees the best of the sunshine across eastern scotland and north—east england, but the rest of us it's fairly cloudy, the winds are strengthening across the far north of scotland and northern ireland, pretty gusty, this weather front coming in introducing some patchy rain. this is bbc news. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world... most people in the uk in their 405 will have to wait until may to get a a covid vaccine, after a significant drop in supplies. a delay in deliveries from india is partly to blame. the vaccine roll—out will be slightly slower than we might have hoped, but not slower than the target that we had set ourselves, which is, as i say, to get those groups one to nine by the middle of april. and if you have appointments, they will still be honoured. the eu's drugs regulator will give its judgment on the safety of the astrazeneca jab today — several countries have paused the roll—out after blood clots were reported in a small number of people. people seeking asylum in the uk could be sent abroad while their cases are being processed, under plans for a major overhaurl of the immigration system expected to be set out next week.
