At their own expense and for ten days. The duke and duchess of sussex are expecting their second child. The couple shared a Black And White picture of themselves under a tree, with meghan visibly pregnant. England take early wickets this morning, but india captain virat kohli scores a half century to help extend the hosts� second innings lead beyond 400 and coming up this hour. Today marks 50 years since the uks money went decimal. Well hear how it wasnt as straightforward as you might think. The uks Covid Vaccine roll out is officially entering a new phase today, with over 65s and the clinically vulnerable now being invited to get their firstjab. It comes after the Prime Minister said a vaccine dose had been offered to the four groups most at risk from the virus. It is 69 days since the uk began its Mass Vaccination Programme and six weeks since borisjohnson promised to offer a first dose to top Priority Groups by today. That includes everyone aged 70 and over, care home staff and residents, and the clinically extremely vulnerable. More than 15 Million People have now recieved a firstjab. Half a Million People have also recieved a second dose of the vaccine. And the Health Secretary matt hancock said that 90 of the over 70s had accepted the vaccine. The next phase of the roll out will see 50 to 69 year olds and all those aged 16 64 with Underlying Health conditions offered a jab by The End Of April. With the Vaccine Roll Out moving ahead quickly, the goverment is coming Under Pressure to loosen restrictions in england. It says it will publish a roadmap for reopening schools, the economy and society next week. Heres our health correspondent, laura foster with more on the Vaccine Roll Out. Her report contains some flashing images. 0ver over the last two months, it went from a single shot to 15 million doses, all of them administered by healthcare doses, all of them administered by healthca re staff doses, all of them administered by Healthcare Staff and volunteers. This person gave the very first injection, she said she had not anticipated that moment to get so much attention. It anticipated that moment to get so much attention.

The majorityl of these vaccinations have been made up of these vaccinations have been made up of people from the four Priority Groups, the over 70s, Frontline Workers and care workers, the extremely vulnerable and care home staff and residents. But that does not mean everyone has had the vaccine in those four groups. We will get more figures this afternoon. For now, the message is that if you have been left behind, it is not too late. If that if you have been left behind, it is not too late. It is not too late. If somebody for whatever reason it is not too late. If somebody for whatever reason has it is not too late.

So, what is next . Well, it is phase two of phase so, what is next . Well, it is phase two of phase one, so, what is next . Well, it is phase two of phase one, which so, what is next . Well, it is phase two of phase one, which is so, what is next . Well, it is phase two of phase one, which is the so, what is next . Well, it is phase| two of phase one, which is the next five Priority Groups, as you were saying, that is the over 65s, matt hancock was saying today that a million of them have received letters inviting them for a job, and thenit letters inviting them for a job, and then it is group six, which is over 16 is with Underlying Health conditions and also people who are carers. And also the other thing thatis carers. And also the other thing that is happening in government in the moment is the big debate about what this means for the lifting of the lockdown in england, which will be the subject of a plan published by the Prime Minister to parliament a week today. Because the plan is being formulated, there is a huge amount of debate amongst ministers which means there has been a huge amount of speculation in the newspapers about all sorts of things, whether it is pubs reopening, beer gardens reopening, take away points only, grandparents being able to see their grandchildren, orthe being able to see their grandchildren, or the reopening of self catering accommodation. The message from the Health Secretary on the airwaves this morning was, just wait and see. Theres a huge amount of speculation in the papers. I know people want to know the answer to when the lockdown will end, and the Prime Minister will set that out next monday, on 22nd february. Were taking those decisions this week, so we will be looking at the data, looking at the success of the Vaccine Roll Out and how far thats reached, and its impact in terms of protecting people, looking at the number of cases, critically, looking at the number of people who are in hospital and the number of deaths. Those two factors are vital. And now, right now, as of today, on the latest count, there are still over 23,000 people in hospital with covid. Thats more than in the april peak. And so, weve still got some way to go, but we are looking to set out that road on monday. There are still over 23,000 people in hospital with covid. Thats more than in the april peak. And so, weve still got some way to go, but we are looking to set out that road on monday. So, ministers will look at the data at the end of this week and one of the key things they will be looking at is out in the real world, with people now having had the vaccine, what impact does that have on people passing the virus on others . That will then feed into decisions at the end of the week about that roadmap which will be published on monday the 22nd. Another date which is becoming firmer and firmer is eighth march which ministers have pencilled in for the return of school till builds to the classroom in england. This morning government sources saying they are increasingly confident that that will happen. Thank you very much. The Prime Minister is Under Pressure from a group of his own mps to announce the lifting of all Coronavirus Restritions by The End Of April. The Covid Recovery group of Tory Backbenchers say that the tremendous pace of the Vaccination Roll out means restrictions should begin easing from early next month. Steve baker is a conservative mp and deputy chair of the Covid Recovery group. Hejoins me now. Good morning. The Prime Minister said on saturday he planned a cautious reopening, what do you think of his caution . Cautious reopening, what do you think of his caution . Well, i think we should be think of his caution . Well, i think we should be cautious think of his caution . Well, i think we should be cautious but think of his caution . Well, i think we should be cautious but we think of his caution . Well, i think. We should be cautious but we should be cautious on all sides of the argument. Lets not forget that Food Insecurity has soared in this crisis, people have put on weight, a third of people are drinking more, Mental Health problems are up, and on it goes, the economic cart as been huge and it is the normal currency in parliament to understand that if you make people poorer, you worsen their life chances and well being so on all sides of this question, we need to be an, temperate, that is why my group have always called for Cost Benefit Analysis to show that what the government is doing is proportionate, and that is why i am very pleased this morning that the Treasury Select Committee has agreed on that point, that in future we need never to be asked again to lock down the country without comprehensive and appropriate multidisciplinary analysis to show that restrictions do more good than harm. figs that restrictions do more good than harm. � ,. ,. , that restrictions do more good than harm. ~ ,. ,. ,. , that restrictions do more good than harm. ~ ,. ,. ,. , that restrictions do more good than harm.

As for now, your group wants dates and i wonder if the harm. As for now, your group wants dates and i wonder if the prime dates and i wonder if the Prime Minister is not right this time, is he not learning from past mistakes, that if you set a date and lift restrictions based on a date, it might be too early and you might risk another spike, which is exactly what happened in november . I am confident that what happened in november . I am confident that we what happened in november . I am confident that we are what happened in november . I n confident that we are all learning throughout the course of this crisis but what i would say is that the dates we have put out are intimately connected to the dates of the Vaccine Roll Out programme. As people have said this morning, we have now hit the top four groups, which means by eighth march they will be protected, and that means the onus is then ministers to demonstrate that any restrictions theyin demonstrate that any restrictions they in place are proportionate to they in place are proportionate to the harm that covid can then do. You want ubs the harm that covid can then do. You want pubs and the harm that covid can then do. You want pubs and restaurants open by easter, easter is the beginning of april, when only two thirds of the top nine Priority Groups will have had theirfirst dose. Top nine Priority Groups will have had their first dose. find top nine Priority Groups will have had their first dose. Top nine Priority Groups will have had their first dose. And our group has been very had their first dose. And our group has been very clear had their first dose. And our group has been very clear in had their first dose. And our group has been very clear in our had their first dose. And our group has been very clear in our letter i has been very clear in our letter that we expect ministers to set out how the restrictions they keep in place then are proportionate to the harm. But lets not forget that in their letter to the profession, the chief medical officers made it clear that most of the clinical benefit of protecting people comes from the first dose, and the second dose is about duration. So i think the second dose is very important but the chief medical officers were very clear that the protection comes from the first dose. So what we need to do is to be realistic about the harms on all sides. If we keep restaurants and pubs and hospitality venues closed for easter, one of the most important times of the year for them, after theyve invested last yearin them, after theyve invested last year in becoming covid secure, that will have a really profound impact on them. If i recall correctly, a1 of hospitality businesses have said they could go under by the middle of they could go under by the middle of the year, and that will harm as all, particularly some of the lowest paid and youngest people who work in those businesses. But and youngest people who work in those businesses. And youngest people who work in those businesses. But we dont have stron those businesses. But we dont have strong evidence those businesses. But we dont have strong evidence yet those businesses. But we dont have strong evidence yet about those businesses. But we dont have strong evidence yet about how strong evidence yet about how effective the vaccines are at reducing transmission. What level of protection they offer against the new variants of the virus. We dont know how good or otherwise the government is at containing the spread of new variants . But this mornin spread of new variants . But this morning on spread of new variants . But this morning on the spread of new variants . But this morning on the news spread of new variants . But this morning on the news we spread of new variants . But this morning on the news we have i spread of new variants . But this i morning on the news we have been hearing the very welcome news from israel that the Pfizer Vaccine in the real world is 94 effective. And vaccinologist and ministers have confirmed repeatedly that notwithstanding the new variants, the vaccine is expected to continue to protect against serious disease, hospitalisation and death, and that is what counts. In Matt Hancocks on words, it is breaking the link between cases, hospitalisation took over and debts. Taking into account harms and difficulties on all sides of this awful crisis that has cost our country and individuals and families so dear, we do need to be proportionate and prudent on all sides and that is why we have said what we have said, we are saying actually that we want to support the Prime Minister in a moment of National Unity and he will have our support to do these three things. But you want dates, and that is what im raising might be an issue. Because that is the problem, isnt it . They need to look at the data in real time, ratherthan it . They need to look at the data in real time, rather than just look at dates . Realtime, rather than ust look at dates . ,. , dates . So, there are enormous problems dates . So, there are enormous problems on dates . So, there are enormous problems on all dates . So, there are enormous problems on all sides dates . So, there are enormous problems on all sides of dates . So, there are enormous problems on all sides of this i problems on all sides of this argument and we know that and we have been saying to our colleagues in parliament this is a complex Optimisation Problem all the way through this crisis and calling for proper analysis of that problem. But what i would say is that businesses need dates. It is not a small thing, this is not health versus economy, it is that livelihoods affect Mental Health and life chances and well being. Nominee in parliament that is common currency in terms of debate, people understand that inequality and suffering and poverty matter to people is life chances. So businesses really do need dates to plan towards and pubs and restaurants and hospitality venues as everyone listening to this will know are absolutely central to our social lives and our well being but also employing people in those venues is crucial as well. So by the time we get there we will have vaccinated as you said two thirds of groups five to nine, which includes people under the age of 50 who are vulnerable to the disease. We can see the data on the Coronavirus Dashboard, anybody can see the rate at which the figures are improving. If we cast our minds forward nearly seven weeks to eastern and we should be in a position where we can take advantage of last years investments in pubs and restaurants and give people a chance to start enjoying themselves in a covid secure way, and i think that is a proportionate and i think that is a proportionate and reasonable thing which my group are saying to the government. You sa it is are saying to the government. You say it is proportionate and reasonable, you have been wrong before, last month you said that if the Prime Minister does not set out a clear plan for when our full freedoms will be restored and guarantee that this strategy will not be used again next winter, the debate will become about the Prime Ministers leadership you were wrong.

I am just suggesting maybe you are wrong this time and maybe you are wrong this time and may be the Prime Minister is right . So, on the day that i sent out that correspondence with colleagues, i made it extremely clear in public that what i want is the complete and fullest success of Boris Johnson that what i want is the complete and fullest success of borisjohnson as Prime Minister. That is obviously in the national interest, setting aside any kind of Party Political consideration. On the peak, anyone can go on the Coronavirus Dashboard and look at the cases and see that we were over a peak at the time that i said that. And yes, i did not foresee the new variant with its higher transmissibility and nor did many others but about a year ago, i was dutifully sending out e mails to my constituents saying, no, no, no there is very limited Scientific Evidence that masks work. That was the scientific advice and i was dutifully saying it to my constituents when they were pleading for masks. Everyone knows that has been turned on its head so i hope you wont mind me saying that everyone has learned something through this crisis. One of the most important things weve learned, which the Treasury Select Committee has confirmed today, is that the House Of Commons should never again be asked to impose such far reaching restrictions on the public without comprehensive and appropriate multidisciplinary analysis of the all round costs and benefits of doing so. I allround costs and benefits of doinu so. , � ,. , allround costs and benefits of doinu so. , � y. , doing so. I dont mind you saying that at all doing so. I dont mind you saying that at all.

Thank you very much, steve baker, conservative mp. Anyone arriving in england from a country with high rates of covid will have to quarantine in a government approved hotel from this morning, at their own expense and for ten days. Portugal, brazil and south africa are among the 33 nations on the so called red list. In scotland, all International Travellers will have to go to a quarantine hotel. Our transport correspondent Caroline Davies has been to look around one of the hotels involved. Disinfecting before the guests arrive. Quarantine hotels like this one start taking arrivals from today. In england, anyone whos been at any one of 33 designated high risk countries in the last ten days will have to quarantine in a hotel. But in scotland, it applies to all international arrivals. Rooms like this will be home for ten days, with no one allowed in or out except if security allows guests occasional exercise. Its a very Different Hotel experience. This gives you an idea of the scale of the operation just at this hotel. Each of these bags will be filled with food to provide guests with three meals a day every day throughout the course of their stay. And this is just for one corridor in a hotel with 710 rooms. Do you have any questions about how this is going to work or any concerns about what could go wrong . Well, i think the Hospitality Aspect of people coming to the hotel and looking after them, thats simple. We know how to do that. Its a change in the way we do that. Its a change in the way we interact with our guests. But its just a change to our normal practice. And frankly, most hoteliers around the country are very eager to get people back in the hotels, very eager to get people off furlough and working again. The government have initially secured 4,600 rooms. But how many people will need them over the next few weeks is still not certain. Some have already arrived back before the hotels open. Priya mitchell lives in the uae, which is on the red list. Her 16 year old daughter is at sixth form in the uk. Shes been waiting for the schools to reopen to send her back, but sent her yesterday with a friend to avoid staying alone in a hotel. Theres no way i would send my 16 year old to a hotel room, globally, anywhere. So, you know, the idea of putting her in a hotel room on her own, i find that terrifying. And i find it terrifying that i cant find any information on any Government Website that tells me what i should be doing with an unaccompanied child. Jaya will quarantine with her brother. The government have said that if children have to travel to the uk, they advise parents that theyre accompanied by an appropriate adult to carry out the quarantine with. Priya and other parents say thats not always possible. Its been over two weeks since the policy was first announced, but there are still concerns about how it will be implemented and worries, too, that new checks could create delays at the border. Every additional check the officer has to do slows up that transaction, increases the risk of infection to the officer and to the traveller from the officer. And then as those queues build, of course, the different planes mixing with one another, that builds up, increases the risk from traveller to traveller that the virus will just spread. The government say that every airport has a responsibility to comply with social distancing measures and that they maintained Staffing Levels at heathrow throughout the pandemic. Many are still waiting to see how smoothly todays introduction goes. Caroline davies, bbc news. Our business presenter ben thompson is in heathrow. Does everyone know what they are doing, then, ben . That does everyone know what they are doing, then, ben . Doing, then, ben . That is the big ruestion. Doing, then, ben . That is the big question they doing, then, ben . That is the big question. They have doing, then, ben . That is the big question. They have had doing, then, ben . That is the big question. They have had the doing, then, ben . That is the big question. They have had the first| question. They have had the first group through here in the last hour, and another couple have just left to begin their ten days in isolation, within the last few minutes. And so far, it seems to be running pretty smoothly. The big question, and this was the warning yesterday from heathrow, is whether cues would build up at the borderline, at passport control. Anyone arriving from one of these 33 countries will have to self declared, they need to tell the authorities that they have beenin tell the authorities that they have been in one of these red list countries within the last ten days. They will not have taken a direct flight to get here because those direct flights are not landing in the uk. They may have come from another hub, like doha or madrid. They will be ushered into a separate queue and then taken to the baggage hall where they will be held in a pen until their baggage comes out and they will be brought through these doors and put on a bus which will take them to the hotel where they will begin ten days in isolation. They will have a test after two days and another one after eight days, and only after that will they be released on the tenth day. And it doesnt come cheap, £1750 you will pay for the privilege of that hotel stay. The government says it is not expecting great numbers of people to take up this option because they have given people time to make alternative arrangements or indeed not to travel at all. And there are very few flights that are coming from those at risk places. But nonetheless the people that are coming through are doing so in small groups and getting put on those buses. And in scotland it is different again. If you are arriving on any International Flight into scotland, you will have to go to Hotel Quarantine for ten days. In england, it isjust Hotel Quarantine for ten days. In england, it is just if you come from one of those 33 countries, and you have been there within the last ten days.

You talked about the cost, what about the principle, do you agree with the principle, do you agree with the principle of the Quarantine Hotels . Yeah, i think it makes sense to do it, totally on board with doing it. I think it is totally the right thing to do. Hopefully it can stop the spread this virus. But its the cost, you know.

Israel has released early data on how effective vaccines are at stopping the spread of coronavirus and the results are encouraging. The countrys largest Healthcare Provider has reported a 94 drop in symptomatic coronavirus in those who have been fully vaccinated. The results are preliminary but involve one of the biggest real world studies so far of vaccine effectiveness, comparing 600,000 israelis who have received two doses of the Pfizer Biontech vaccine with an unvaccinated group of the same size. The campaigner peter lawrence, whose Daughter Claudia went missing in 2009, has died at the age of 7a. Claudia, from york, was reported missing after she failed to show up for work as a university chef. Police believe she was murdered. Peter fought a long battle to find out what happened to claudia and to get more rights and support for the relatives of missing people.

Lets return to our top story, and the news that at least 15 Million People have received their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine. Lets talk to amanda sullivan, from the nottingham and nottinghamshire ccg, where she is leading the Vaccine Roll Out. Hello to you, amanda.

One of the examples i can give you is that we had a disused warehouse that within 60 days went from being a disused warehouse to a mass vaccination centre. We have had contractors around the clock, we had a 17 hour continuous shift to paint the floor in a special surface, so, people have pulled out all the stops, its been tremendous. It really has, did you think, to be honest, when this target was first mentioned, that it was achievable . We thought it was a very ambitious target but we were all really motivated to do it because of the Health Benefits and to try and get to the end of this pandemic.

Also, a number of the councils have been incredibly helpful, councils are close to their local communities and they have been again targeting, having community leaders, faith leaders, giving really strong, clear messages about the safety of the vaccine and the benefits that it can bring, so we have been really grateful for the contributions that partners have made in that effort. To the next Priority Groups, five and six, are the over 65s and those aged 16 64 who have Underlying Health conditions, and group six contains by far the biggest group, it is over 7 Million People.

Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. Their first child, archie, was born in may 2019. Both meghan and harry were thrilled and made it clear they hoped archie would soon have a brother or sister. Meghan suffered a miscarriage last summer. She wrote about what she described as the almost unbearable grief of losing a child. So one must assume that the news of this pregnancy will have been the cause of great happiness for them. Thats certainly the impression they give in this Black And White photograph released to accompany the news of the pregnancy. Buckingham palace has said the queen, the duke of edinburgh, the Prince Of Wales and the entire family is delighted at the news and wishes them well for the birth of what will be the queens tenth or 11th great grandchild, depending on when the baby is born. That birth will quite possibly take place in the United States, near the couples home in california, in which case the baby would be entitled to us citizenship. Notwithstanding that, boy or girl, the child will be eighth in line to the british throne. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. Thank you for your many messages about what the conservative mp was suggesting earlier. About 60 conservative mps have demanded that all covid 19 restrictions are lifted permanently by The End Of April. Do you agree . Do you disagree . Ive had about 1000 responses to. Theo jake says we must be able to take back control of our lives now. We have collectively predicted the most vulnerable with these lock downs. I am honestly desperate. Without both jobs, i think we are asking for trouble. The walker says, i agree, we need to earn a living again. Educational and Training Opportunities open up fully and isolation stop. They need reversing, it is notjust about covid 19. Given that its a same group of conservatives to the brexit was a good idea, the answer must be no. And says that this should be led by the science. Politicians are playing politics. There does need to be some balance, but a grand reopening, no. Permanently lifted, no. Follow the science and the data. And one more for now. I agree, manically face coverings and the closure of many facilities have been a huge challenge for members of my family. Keep your views coming in. You can message me on twitter or instagram. Are you content me an e mail. It is getting milder weather wise. Here is carol with all the details. Hello, again. The weather this week is going to be quite different from the weather we had last week. At the moment we have a fair bit of cloud, the dregs of this mornings rain and drizzle clearing into the near continent, brightening up with some sunshine but showers across parts of northern ireland, wales, Northern England and scotland. Temperatures ranging from seven in the north to 1a in the south. This evening we start off on a dry note but then we have got rain this coming up from the south and in from the west and the wind picking up, particularly with exposure around the outer hebrides, where there could be gusts of up to 55mph. Not a particularly cold night for most. Tomorrow, the rain in the south east will be slower to clear, but then it will brighten up but then we will have showers coming in from the west, some of them heavy and thundery, still very windy across the north west, with the chance of gales, and temperatures ranging from 8 13. Hello this is bbc news. The headlines. Englands Covid Vaccine rollout is officially entering a new phase today with over 65s and the clinically vulnerable now being invited to get their firstjab. The goverment is coming Under Pressure to loosen lockdown restrictions. It says it will publish a roadmap for reopening schools, the economy and society next week. Anyone arriving in england from a country with high rates of covid will have to quarantine in a government approved hotel from this morning at their own expense and for 10 days. The duke and duchess of sussex are expecting their second child. The couple shared a Black And White picture of themselves under a tree, with meghan visibly pregnant. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres sally nugent. Good morning. Englands cricketers are desperately trying to keep themselves in the second test against india in chennai, but theyre more than 400 runs behind on day three. They made a great start, taking five wickets in the morning session, including two apiece Forjack Leach and moeen ali. Ben foakes with a brilliant stumping here. A happy birthday for him. But india are putting up a strong resistance, captain virat kohli scoring a half century before he was removed by moeen theyre now 246 9. Manchester united manager ole Gunnar Solskjaer said they would not allow city to run away with the Premier League title, despite dropping two precious points at lowly west brom. The home side took a shock lead after just 83 seconds, through on loan striker mbaye diagne. Before Bruno Fernandes equalised. But it finished 1 1 and united are now 7 points behind city, and theyve played a game more. Letsjust build momentum, win games and put city Under Pressure. They are in great form, but were not to give it away, of course. It looks like us and leicester, we need to put up a fight. Fulham clinched their first win since november a 2 0 victory at everton. Josh maja scored both goals to boost fulhams chances of Premier League survival. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang thanked arsenal for sticking with him through a rough patch, after scoring his first league hat trick. They beat leeds 4 2, to move into the top half of the table. And wolves came from behind to win 2 1 at southampton, pedro netto producing a brilliant individual effort to score the winner. Yet again, we have to talk about online racist abuse, with Manchester UnitedsAnthony Martial the latest player to be targetted. After that draw at west brom, he was attacked on social media. The police have been alerted to the posts, but the club said they understood the problem wasnt going to go away in the short term and solutions were not straightforward. Swansea midfielder yan dhanda is one of a handful of British Asian professional footballers. Hes also suffered on line abuse and he told us he was disappointed with the response. You see these social Media Companies actually advertising no to racism, kick it out. But actually, when push comes to shove, and its actually the reality and people are sending racist messages, theyre actually doing next to nothing. And i believe that they banned the guy that racially abused me for a couple of days of sending messages, but theyve not actually took his account off him or gone any further than that. So, for me, i think theyrejust adding fire to the hay and proving to the racist people that they can actually get away with it. Celtic were 1 0 down at stjohnstone before Odsonne Edouard rescued them with two goals in two minutes, to give them their Fourth League win in a row. But theyre still 18 points behind rangers. Chelsea have extended their lead in the Womens Super League after beating bristol city 5 0. It was another ruthless performance from chelsea, with fran kirby scoring two of the goals as they moved five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table. Its two defeats in two games for ireland in this seasons six nations championship. Title favourites france won in dublin for the first time in a decade, to move to the top of the table. This try from Damian Penaud the difference between the two sides in a scrappy game, france winning15 13. Rafael nadal is looking strong as he continues his quest for a record 21st grand slam title. Hes yet to drop a set at this years tournament his latest victory coming against Fabio Fognini nadal responding brilliantly to the hard hitting of the italian. And that took him through to a quarterfinal against stefans tsitsipas. Two british players are on course to meet in the semi finals of the mens doubles, Afterjamie Murray and bruno soares maintained their unbeaten run since they resumed their partnership. Theyre through to the last eight, as are the defending champions Joe Salisbury and rajeev ram. And alfie hewett and gordon reid beat Gustavo Fernandez and Shingo Kunieda in the semi finals of the mens wheelchair doubles. And i just want to show you some high speed drama from the Alpine SkiingWorld Championships in italy. Frenchman max muzaton saving himself from a crash during the mens downhill, the blue ribband event. He produced remarkable skill and athleticism to stay upright. The new champion Vincent Creek meyer appreciated it too. Round of applause just by surviving that. Round of applause just by surviving that. Thats all the sport for now. A senior rabbi is warning that some parts of the uks Orthodoxjewish Community are breaking lockdown rules about large gatherings, despite suffering particularly high covid rates. It follows a police raid on a Wedding Party with around 150 guests in london last month. Our Home Affairs Correspondent tom symonds has been looking into it. In londons strict Orthodoxjewish Community, a wedding celebration. Sources say it happened in early january. They are worried about whats been going on. And now theres a plea from one of the areas elders. Segments of this community have sadly overstepped the mark where things should not go on under these circumstances. One study of a london Orthodox Community found 64 had been infected. Londons average is 11 . Social distancing is difficult here. A culture of large families, often in crowded accommodation. A culture of prayer several times a day in person at the synagogue. And then there are the weddings. Rabbi Herschel Gluck says he hasnt been to one since this all started, but. Weddings are very central injudaism. In the torah, the First Commandment is be fruitful and multiply. So therefore, weddings is not another option. It goes to the very core of the jewish experience. And therefore there is a great need and a great urge to have weddings. But we need to put the brakes on. So weve been investigating this Wedding Video for a week or so now, and it seems that word has got around because weve been sent this message which is circulating on local whatsapp groups. Police say theyll turn up when called rather than looking for breaches, as they did to this wedding in the summer. Sometimes its hard working out whats going on. Because bespoke legal advice going around the Community Says some celebrations have a communal prayer element and can have as many guests as one likes. You can have limited events in synagogues, but you cant have weddings over six people. So you certainly cant have the kind of weddings that weve seen in the news. It just hit the wrong tone. It was really about getting around the rules rather than keeping to the rules because of the danger of the virus. This orthodox synagogue has closed, but the government has decided places of worship can stay open. No limits on numbers. Were all struggling with this pandemic. But in this community, some elders are increasingly willing to speak out about those overstepping the mark. Tom symonds, bbc news, north london. In february last year, the worlds attention was gripped by the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship and the passengers stuck on board. They were quarantined for weeks as the coronavirus disease swept through the ship. In one of the first widely reported coronavirus outbreaks outside china. A year on, what hope is there for an Industry Cast Adrift by covid . Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports. The Diamond Princess had set off from her Home Port Injapan in late january with more than 2,500 passengers and crew on board. Three days out of yokohama, an elderly passenger fell ill with a serious coff, and was taken to Hospital On Arrival in hong kong. No one was particularly worried, and the ship continued its journey, but on board other passengers were starting to become ill. In hong kong, the authorities confirmed the elderly man had tested positive for covid 19. Back in yokohama on february the 3rd, the japanese authorities refused to let anyone disembark, but on board the ship the infections were continuing to grow. From ten on the date the ship arrived, infections soared to nearly 700. And despite what the japanese government was saying, it was very obvious that the quarantine on board that ship was not working. You can imagine the situation for the 2,500 passengers locked up in the cabins 24 hours a day. How frightening it must have been as they wondered, how is this virus continuing to spread and am i going to be the next to be infected . I dont know how they are sitting here for 12 days are going to be contaminated. But something is going wrong. By february the 20th, under huge pressure by the United States and other countries japan allowed the passengers to be evacuated to their Home Countries where they faced more quarantine. The Diamond Princess may have been the first cruise ship to be struck by covid 19, but soon more followed. In early march, its sister ship, the grand princess, was ordered to dock in San Francisco after a former passenger fell ill and died from covid 19. President trump notoriously tried to stop the passengers from being allowed onto us soil to prevent them being counted in us covid 19 numbers. If it were up to me, i would be inclined to say, leave everybody on the ship for a period of time and use the ship as your base. But a lot of people would rather do it a different way. They would rather quarantine people. Now, when they do that, our numbers are going to go up. The owner of the Diamond Princess, Carnival Cruises and the industry in general has strenuously defended its safety record. By mid 2020, most of the Cruise Industry was completely shut down. Some ships have tentatively put back to sea in the last few months on so called cruises to nowhere, but many remain idle, like these anchored in manila bay in the philippines. According to its website, the Diamond Princess is hoping to welcome its first passengers in over a year sometime thisjuly. In an hours time we are going to talk to a couple who were on that Diamond Princess Cruise Ship a year ago and they have since booked six further cruises, so they havent been put off by the experience. In new zealand, a new three day in an hours time we are going to lockdown is under way in the city of auckland, after three new covid cases were reported. The restrictions will require everyone to stay at home except for essential work and shopping. Its the 50th Anniversary of the other d day today decimalisation day. Thats when our old system of pounds, shillings and pence was replaced by the coins and notes we know today. But the transition wasnt straightforward, as tim muffett explains. Bloody new money, i dont want it. Whats wrong with it . No, i want the old. No, i dont want it. All change. Goodbye, shillings, half crowns and thrupenny bits. Hello to a radical new concept, 100 new pence to every pound. Decimalisation. D day, as it became known, was the 15th of february 1971. The new Decimal Money will be with us on d day. Decimal day. We changed from old money to what we know as new money. It was a very big deal for the uk because it changed the way that everybody valued money. Old money included things like shillings and farthings and then moved to 100 pennies to the pound. The old system had links going back for more than 1,000 years, when a pound of silver was first divided into 240 coins. Thats why there were 12 pennies to a shilling and 20 shillings to a pound. It was hoped decimalisation based on multiples of ten would make things simpler. This is a ten new penny piece with a lion on it. It was a very interesting time for the nation and there was a lot of education packs that were issued, there was advertising in newspapers to again educate the communities. It is perhaps correctly and more accurately a Reeducation Campaign and of its kind is the most massive thats ever been mounted in this country, requiring an intense and concentrated effort. Sometimes, very intense and very concentrated. You look at both your hands palm upwards. When we come to the new coins, these i put round the base of the fingers. Seven becomes three, eight becomes three and a half, 9p and 10p become four new pence. Its easy, isnt it . Some worried thered be chaos in the shops or that old coins would instantly be worthless. Fortunately, John Humphrys was at hand to reassure the nation. The message the boys are so desperately anxious to get across is that you can use the two lots of currency together. To mark the 50th Anniversary, the royal mint has issued a special 50p coin featuring old money. Its also been sending reminiscence boxes to hundreds of care homes, such as this one in abergavenny. Could you tell me what they are . Thats two and six. Did they used to call it half a crown . Half a crown, yeah. Well, itsjust magical, i really, what theyve done, because with dementia, we do a lot of reminiscence work. To try and help people i to engage to be present. These memory boxes have invoked such a response. I not only are they present, its sparking conversationsj going on from what the memory box are showing them. Lollipops on sticks, i thought i was King Of The Castle because i could go in and buy sweets. You get a lot with your sixpence, didnt you . You certainly did. No one under 50 experienced the pre decimal world. For some a little older, it doesnt seem that long ago. How much did one of them cost . One and six. One and six . Yeah. Tim muffett, bbc news. As weve been hearing, the government believes it has hit its target of offering at least one dose of a Covid Vaccine to the four most vulnerable groups across the uk. What we do know is that more than 15 million of us have had a jab so far. Graham satchell has been talking to just a few of the people who make up that enormous number. For keith this even in the driving snow, people have turned up for their jobs. Across the country in football stadiums, mosques, cathedrals. In salisbury, immunisation accompanied by organ music.

Lets go back to personal responsibility and our individual judgment when it comes to risk. Thank you for those. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. Hello again. The weather this week is quite different to what we had last week. There is not much snow in the forecast. If we see any, it is likely to be on the tops of the hill. It is going to be much milder. Largely frost free, but there will be rain at times, and of course, with melting snow, there could be some issues with localised flooding and often it is going to be windy, particularly across the far north of the country. Today though, the isobars are more widely spaced, so it is not going to be as windy as it was yesterday. We are watching the dregs of this front clear away the rain and drizzle from earlier on. And as we go through the course of the day, that cloud should start to break up and it will brighten up, some of us seeing some sunshine. But there will be showers coming through northern ireland, wales, Northern England and also scotland, and some of those could prove to be on the Headache Side at times. Temperature wise, we are looking at about six or seven celsius, but our top temperature today is likely to be 14 as we swooped down towards london. So much higher than anything we saw anywhere in the uk last week. Through this evening and overnight, we start off on a largely dry note, but it wont be long before rain sweeps in across the south and also in from the west. And it is all heading northwards eastwards. The wind is also going to strengthen, particularly around the outer hebrides, where by the end of the night we could have gusts of up to 55 mph. But our temperatures ranging from five to about 10 celsius. Tomorrow, this band of rain will take longer than today to clear the south east. It will gradually brighten up behind, but as you can see, there is an array of showers and some of those will be heavy and also thundery. And there is that chance we could also have gales across the far north west of scotland. Temperatures, eight in the north to 11 or 12 celsius as we come south. But 13 quite possible in newcastle. On wednesday we will start off with some showers, maybe even some of those will be wintry on the tops of the grampians. But by the end of the day, more persistent rain will be pushing in in southern areas. There other thing is brisk winds will be quite obvious during the course of wednesday, but the strongest of which will be across the north and the west. Into thursday, further rain, but the wind is starting to ease, and then as we head into the weekend, one thing you will notice is that the temperature is going to climb. It could hit 17 somewhere this weekend. This is bbc news, im victoria derbyshire, these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. Englands Covid Vaccine roll out is officially entering a new phase today, with over 65s and the clinically vulnerable now being invited to get their firstjab. The uk goverment is coming Under Pressure to loosen lockdown restrictions. It says it will publish a roadmap for reopening schools, the economy and society next week. As we lift measures, we do so carefully and cautiously to make sure that we dont have to put them on again. That is at the core of the judgment that we have to make. Over 60 conservative mps have demanded that all covid restrictions are lifted at The End Of April in england, once all nine Priority Groups have been offered vaccinations
