stabbing in south london in 2a hours, with one man dying from his injuries. tens of thousands of farmers block major highways across india as they continue their protests against new agricultural laws. and coming up in half an hour, a special programme, presented by michael ball, documents the remarkable life of captain sir tom moore. good afternoon. a leaked document has revealed that borisjohnson is planning to sweep away david cameron's reforms of the nhs in england that could see a reduced role for the private sector. nhs commissioners would no longer be required to invite private companies to bid to run services and there would be more focus on hospitals and social care services working together to improve patient care. our health correspondent katharine de costa reports. an ageing population brings with it extra challenges. elderly patients often require more complex care and hospital treatment that can cause pressure on the treatment, when they're fit enough to leave but there isn't capacity in the social care system to support them. new proposals suggest sweeping changes to current contracts, that would allow closer working between the nhs and local authorities to keep older patients out of hospital and provide more care in the community. we need a lot morejoined up care. it's notjust going into hospital to have your hip replaced, having that sorted out and then going home again, it's people who have lots of things that need to be sorted out, who are using the health service many times during the course of the year. and the structures need to be improved to make that possible. in 2012, under the cameron government, lord lansley handed the control and finances of the nhs to nhs england, with an annual strategy set by the government. it meant that nhs services were bought for patients by gp groups, including from private providers. the new proposals rolled back on much of this and will allow ministers to more tightly control how the nhs works, as well as deliver public health and social care plans. but campaign groups are sceptical. this government has been more dependent than ever before on the private sector during a pandemic. we've had the private sector brought in to test and trace, we've had private sector brought in to run laboratories, parallell to the nhs. we've got a four—year plan now to use private hospitals, while nhs beds in large numbers remain closed and out of use. so this isn't a government that's been looking to marginalise the private sector. the department of health and social care said it was rightly considering where changes needed to be made, and that full details would be set out in due course. but labour's questioned the timing of plans to reorganise health and care services in the middle of a pandemic. nhs reorganisations rarely go smoothly, and, at a time when services are at breaking point, it may prove difficult to push through these reforms. katharine da costa, bbc news. i asked our political correspondent ben wright to set out what changes were proposed in the leaked document. this is very much in line with the direction of travel that the government had signalled over the last couple of years, ever since it published its long—term plan for the nhs, which in itself marked quite a break with how government has approached the health service. every last three decades really. right back to when the internal market was introduced in the health service, the controversial andrew lansley the controversial andrew la nsley reforms the controversial andrew lansley reforms in 2012 which cemented the idea of gp commissioning groups, competition being the key driver for improved services. now it is about bringing back the power of local authorities to hospitals, delivering health care far more likely to patients and it seems increasing the power of ministers in whitehall. it is a bit more of a simplified version of nhs structure that we have not seen for a while, so that is what the draft white paper that has been leaked points towards and eventually we will get legislation which really does unpick many of those a coalition government reforms which were put in place to try and rewire the way the nhs works. eame rewire the way the nhs works. some eo - le rewire the way the nhs works. some peeple might — rewire the way the nhs works. some people might wonder _ rewire the way the nhs works. some people might wonder about the timing. the nhs is under such intense pressure at the moment, is this the right time to be introducing that? at this the right time to be introducing that? this the right time to be introducin: that? �* ., . introducing that? at labour have certainly said _ introducing that? at labour have certainly said why _ introducing that? at labour have certainly said why now? - introducing that? at labour have certainly said why now? why - certainly said why now? why prioritise a restructuring just as the nhs is dealing with a pandemic? the nhs faces a huge number of challenges right now, notjust in covid, but a massive backlog of health care, which is stored up because people cannot get the treatments for all sort of things, waiting to see that doctors and clinicians in full, so they have to deal with that, there is a workforce shortage, there are long—term funding challenges facing the health care system, so restructuring alone will not solve any of those. but the government would argue the that fact that the nhs has had to respond so quickly to the pandemic showed how bureaucracy can be cut out, how various silos can be destroyed, how it can work more efficiently when it needs to, i think that is probably galvanised thinking in the department of health to crack on with this sort of structure now. some might say that the success of the vaccination programme demonstrates that. in terms of that and when locked and might be listed, we know that there is a small number of conservative mps who are keen for lockdown restrictions to be lifted sooner rather than later, but others are more cautious, so how much of a balancing act is it for boris johnson? it balancing act is it for boris johnson?— balancing act is it for boris johnson? , ., johnson? it has been tricky all the way through. _ johnson? it has been tricky all the way through. of— johnson? it has been tricky all the way through, of course, _ johnson? it has been tricky all the way through, of course, although | johnson? it has been tricky all the i way through, of course, although the rebellion by tory mps injanuary to the current lockdown restrictions was very small, only a dozen opposed them, and yet there have been rumblings from them over the last five or six weeks. they are increasing, certainly, as the vaccination programme rolls out at speed, they want these restrictions lifted as quickly as possible. they are saying may should absolutely be the moment they have all gone, once the moment they have all gone, once the over 50s have been vaccinated, but the watchword at number ten seems to be caught in. we know there will be a review in the middle of this month, the government will set out its plan and hope schools may be going back much the eighth, but this remains a fairly tentative timetable, because in many ways, the course of this virus remains out of their hands. course of this virus remains out of their hande— their hands. our political correspondent _ their hands. our political correspondent there. - let's take a look at the latest government figures on coronavirus. a further 828 people have died within 28 days of a positive coronavirus test in the uk. 18, 262 people tested positive for the virus. and the number of those receiving their first vaccination is now almost 11 and a half million. staying with the issue of vaccination and the new chair of the vaccine task force, dr clive dix, says he is "very optimistic" the uk will meet its target of offering a first coronavirus jab to all over 50s by may. but there are some people, particularly those in ethnic minority communities, who remain hesitant. our community affairs correspondent adina campbell reports on how some are tackling the issue. this vaccination hub at the royal london hospital has been up and running for almost six weeks and it's nonstop, with staff putting jabs into hundreds of arms each day. any history of problems with bleeding or bruising at all? one of them is martin griffiths, a consultant surgeon, whose dayjob normally involves treating trauma victims with severe wounds, but now he's part of the vaccination effort. he's seen, first—hand, the disproportionate impact of coronavirus on people from black, asian and other ethnic minority groups. there's a lot of anxiety out in the community about coronavirus and the vaccination, about its speed, about whether it works or not and a lot of misinformation on, particulary on social media about that. i think it's important that people take the opportunity to ask questions and have their concerns answered by trusted individuals. this government video is one way of spreading the vaccination message on social media. people from these communities are up to four times more likely to die from coronavirus than white people, but there's growing evidence and research which shows they're more reluctant to be vaccinated. we have to trust that, you know, the scientists have done what they should be doing, government and everybody has done theirjob correctly and they've put this out there. they've had a lot of misconception, especially within the bangladeshi community. it's more to do with not getting the information in the language that they need it or if they've got the misconceptions, where they come from. nhs staff are giving jabs from more than 1500 sites across the country. this is one of the busiest vaccination hubs in london and, at the moment, it's running twice a week, where up to 700 people a day are given a jab here. and for those still in doubt... we are not authority, we are people as well. we want to help our community get better. so, yes, please, ask questions. we'll give you the answer and tell you the truth and we can move forward from there. in an effort to get more people vaccinated, the government has now started to publish ethnicity data and it's hoped these clinics will end up attracting the most hard to reach hesitant communities. adina campbell, bbc news. small businesses that took out government loans to help them survive the coronavirus lockdown are being given ten years rather than six to repay them. about £16 billion has been borrowed by more than 1.4 million companies under the bounce back loan scheme. chancellor rishi sunak said the move was to give companies "breathing space to get back on their feet". thousands of people have taken to the streets of myanmar�*s main city, yangon, to protest against this week's military coup. they are calling for the release of the elected leader aung san suu kyi and others detained by the army. it's the first big demonstration since the military seized power. the crowds were chanting in favour of democracy, and against what they say is a dictatorship. 0ur south east asia correspondent jonathan head reports. five days after the military takeover and people are testing the limits. this group included factory workers from the western

0ffering of police blocked their way. offering a perfect backdrop for the hunger games salute that has become the symbol of popular defiance in this region. it is hard to gauge how much of the country shares this sense of outrage, but it is a fair bet to is widely unpopular. the protest was broadcast as it happened on a dozen or more social media pages, but the military began shutting down the internet and blocking popular apps so that through the day, we watched myanmar slipping back towards the digital dark age of a decade ago. protest had taken place outside myanmar too, with aung san suu kyi in custody once more, these are painful echoes of a wretched past. perhaps they do not know what they will do yet after inflicting such a blow to their country's hopes. and a short time ago, our burmese correspondent nyein chan aye, has sent this update from yangon. this is the very first mass protest since the military coup had taken place on monday. students and workers in a street like this and started marching near yangon university and tried to reach the central part of the city. thousands of people are singing some famous revolutionist song and also slogan against the military dictatorship. people all the way along are taking part by waving their hands, clapping, and by showing a three finger salute. some donate and offer food and water to the protesters. all of the people on the streets are taking part in this. there have a spate of stabbing attacks in south london in the past 2a hours. in one of the latest incidents, a 24—year—old man has been taken to hospital this afternoon after being stabbed in croydon. and a murder investigation has been launched after a 22—year—old man was stabbed to death in the town last night. 0fficers don't believe all the attacks were linked and have appealed for information. our correspondent dan johnson is here. what can you tell us about this? the latest what can you tell us about this? tie: latest incident that happened this afternoon, we havejust had latest incident that happened this afternoon, we have just had some details from the metropolitan police in croydon who say shortly after 3pm we were notified by the london ambulance service of a stabbing in london close to the junction, close to west croydon station. they said officers attended and a crime scene is in place but i've seen video from the scene which shows police in attendance and police tape around the scene of the latest stabbing, a 24—year—old man has been taken to hospital and they are awaiting an update on his condition. this comes on the back of a whole load of incidents in and around croydon, certainly across south london, which means in total now one person has died as a result of stab injuries and ten are in hospital, adding this latest one to the nine last night. the police say they are treating all these incidents, five or six different scenes that they are now investigating, they are treating them as isolated, but it does reiterate that with everything else going on, police still have the challenge of knife crime to deal with in south london at least and a man has been arrested, this is from last night, on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. he is in custody and there are extra police on the streets as a result of what happened last night and they will be patrolling through this evening and the rest of the weekend. thank patrolling through this evening and the rest of the weekend. a nationwide road blockade in india by farmers protesting against new agricultural laws has ended. police detained dozens of protesters.

remembering a key moment in history this weekend — the fiftieth anniversary of finally being granted the right to vote. switzerland lagged far behind its neighbours, italy, france, and germany, becoming one of the last countries in europe to offer women equal political rights. from bern, imogen foulkes reports. swiss women began demanding the right to vote a century ago. their neighbours in france, germany and italy succeeded. in switzerland, they had to wait until 1971. just 50 years ago. we're happy, but it's still like... to think that it was just 50 years ago is also, like, kind of shocking. why did it take so long? in switzerland, all big decisions are decided by nationwide vote. in 1959, the men went to the polls to decide if women could join them. the no campaign warned of catastrophic consequences forfamily life. as far as i'm concerned, i think it's against nature. i think it's an unnecessary luxury for the state, - because women's vote is expressed to their husbands, anyway. - one of the arguments not giving the women the right to vote was because their brains are too small. and i think... yeah, it was one of the arguments. 67% said no to women voting. yvonne, now 80, was 18 at the time. in the evenings, there was a large manifestation with flares and not even many speeches. it was more of a demonstration of mourning that, again, the women did not achieve what they wanted. and by a large majority. the radical �*60s came and went. swiss women continued to protest. finally, in 1971, another referendum and finally, a yes. there was a general election later in 1971 and so, after decades of protesting here outside parliament, swiss women could finally vote to put women inside. and they did. since then, swiss women have continued to campaign, using their vote to get maternity leave and equal pay for equal work. i always vote. ifeel like because i can, i should participate and vote and give my voice. i never missed any of these occasions or elections. i always went, and my daughters do the same, so somehow, i taught them that this political right is important for us in switzerland. switzerland has changed in the last 50 years. in part, thanks to those tireless women who never gave up on their right to have their say. saturdays may be a time to relax for many, but at one school in derby, the pupils are working hard today. the foundation trust there has been awarded £84,000 from the government to run a saturday school for those teenagers who have fallen behind at home. sian lloyd has been hearing from some of the pupils taking part. i come to saturday school, because i want to improve my maths and english, to be a social worker. hi, my name is vanessa, i'm year 11, and i came into school on saturday . to catch up with my english lessons. empty benches and deserted classrooms. the new familiar, in these times. but, at the bemrose school in derby, they are opening up during lockdown. 0n saturdays, small numbers are invited into schools to catch up on classes missed last year. you can see the students who do have access to devices at home, and those that don't have access to devices. what we are trying to do is make sure that gap doesn't widen, and i think being able to support students in different ways, and for them to be sure that we are still there for them, and that schools are still open and we are still providing work, i think is really important. now, looking at microscopy and i will require participation. with only three pupils allowed in a classroom to be covid safe, scores morejoin in from home. up to 120 teenagers have signed up to catch up during exam—critical years. for these young people, it's an opportunity not to be missed. i need to get my grades and to catch up with my english and maths, also. i was missing a lot of lessons. there is social distancing, washing hands, masks, but it still helps. it's better than being at home. i want a job. i want to be a jeweller. so i actually need to get my grades up and learn a bit more. _ have you logged in? the school has accessed £84,000 from the government's catch up fund, which aims to help the most vulnerable and those from deprived communities, whose education has been affected by the pandemic. many pupils here faced barriers to learning before covid. staff hope saturday school will help close that gap. sian lloyd, bbc news, derby. for many people growing up in the early 1980s, hip hop was a soundtrack to their youth. it may have started in new york, but it quickly caught on in the uk too, specifically in manchester. now the city's first hip hop archive is about to be created thanks to a national lottery grant. judy hobson reports. it's a story in danger of being lost. but now manchester's role in the development of hip—hop will be recorded for ever. and sefton mottley was there in the early days. we're outside the bistro in ardwick, where it was one of the earliest places where people used to come, all kids who were into hip—hop from around the city. johnnyj from rock the house, this is where he used to live. he was a resident dj playing all the electro and hip hop. round the corner, the apollo. in the late �*80s, it became famous for putting on some of the biggest acts in the business. the likes of run dmc, ll coolj, the beastie boys. public enemy is probably one of the biggest gigs that's ever been in manchester there. manchester currently has a thriving rap scene, so what better time to record the stories of its hip—hop past? this story is in danger of being lost. so, many of the iconic locations, many of the people, are moving on. we thought it was vital that this story was told before it was too late to tell it. from the days of the ruthless rap assassins and rock the house crew, areas like hulme and moss side were at the centre of it all. but the graffiti and the clubs are no longer there, which is why the archive is perhaps so vital. this project came across as a really interesting way of engaging - different people across the city with another chapter _ of manchester's music heritage, and obviously manchester - is famous for that. this one is a compilation that came out on dave haslam's label. we want people to get in contact with us if they have got any photographs, stories from the very early days. every different generation as well who has contributed in a different way to the hip—hop community. so from the early days when things went vinyl and people listened to the radio and tape on the cassette recorders at home and then shared those cassettes, through to how people are now consuming music on youtube and sharing links. it's the story of pirate radio, graffiti artists, break dancers and beat boxers, which still influence the city's sound today. we need to bring it all back in and let people know that it is a timeline and how it went and how we got to where we are now. china's maiden space exploration mission to mars has captured its first fairly close—up image of the red planet. and here it is. the uncrewed tianwen—1 sent this black and white image showing geological features including a vast stretch of canyons on the martian surface. the probe took the picture at a distance of around 2.2 million km from mars, according to the china national space administration. the spacecraft, launched injuly, is due to touch down on the martian surface later this year. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear. good afternoon. storm darcy has the potential to cause some significant disruption in europe this weekend. but also potentially towards the south—east corner as well, as the cold air descends right across the country through the night tonight. so it is going to be a cold and icy night, particularly where we have got some sharp showers continuing to the north, and that snow arrives during the early hours of sunday morning across essex and kent, potentially towards the london area as well. so the met office has issued an amber warning. that means that you should be prepared potentially for some disruption first thing on sunday with some lying snow and some blizzard—type conditions, as gusts of wind are expected in excess of 30—110 mph. now, there is some potential for that snow to be just that little bit further north and west, so keep abreast of the forecast as we go through tonight and into sunday. there will be some showers further north as well, the best of the sunshine on sunday looks likely to be further west, but widespread cold for all of us. temperatures really struggling. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... a leaked document appears to reveal plans to reverse reforms made to the nhs in england by the coalition government in 2012, which saw the private sector given a greater role. the chairman of the vaccines taskforce says he's confident the uk will be able to offer coronavirus jabs to everyone over 50 by may. nearly 11.5 million have now received the first dose
