investigating the anti—vaxxers — we look at the activists using social media to undermine the covid vaccine programme. misery for england in the second test in chennai — as india get the upper hand and set them a target of a82 to win. the government's covid vaccine roll—out officially enters a new phase today — with over—65s and the clinically vulnerable now being invited to get their firstjab. the prime minister said a vaccine dose had been offered to all the four groups most at risk from the virus — just 69 days since the uk began its mass vaccination programme. the success of the roll—out means he's now facing a growing call to remove lockdown restrictions. more than 15 million people have now received a firstjab. half a million have also received a second dose. that includes everyone aged 70 and over, care home staff and residents, and the clinically extremely vulnerable. the health secretary matt hancock says 90% of the over—70s have had a jab. however, only around a third of social care staff are thought to have had the vaccine. in the next phase of the roll—out those aged 69 down to 50 years old and all those aged 16 — 64 with underlying health conditions will be offered a jab by the end of april. the government says it will publish a road map for reopening schools, the economy and society next week. here's our health correspondent, laura foster. it's the biggest vaccination campaign in nhs history, and we are only on week ten. the firstjab of the covid vaccine provides the bulk of the protection, and now more than 15 million people across the uk have had theirfirst dose. at a vaccination centre in south—east london, the prime minister praised the nhs and volunteers for their hard work. the numbers are very good for the over—80s, for the over—70s, and i think the 75—79 group, you are looking at 99% that have been done, but there are some people who are still to come forward and i really do urge people to come forward. these jabs, these vaccines, are safe, they are efficacious, they will help protect you against disease. the government has pledged to offer the jab to everyone in the top four priority groups in the uk by today. england and wales have already met this target while scotland says it is confident it will. northern ireland says everyone over 70 will have received an offer by the end of february. but an offer does not mean people have had a jab. for example, a third of social care workers in england have not had theirfirst dose. there will always be a small number of people, who, for whatever reason, decided that they don't want to have a vaccine, but our teams have worked really hard in answering any queries that patients have _ and they have certainly managed to gently persuade a number of people who were quite reluctant initially to have vaccinations. from today, the roll—out of the vaccine has been officially expanded to include the over—65s and anyone considered to be clinically vulnerable. then, the over—60s, the over—55s and the over—50s are set to be invited for theirjabs before may. keeping up the pace of this programme will become more difficult over the next few months, as more people will be coming forward, not only for first doses, but second booster shots as well. at the same time as we are offering vaccines to new groups of people, from march, people will be getting their second doses as well. so, yes, this is a huge operation, requiring great organisational sophistication, but also fantastic team spirit, whether that is on the part of nhs staff, volunteers, our partners in the armed forces, local businesses, local councils, the whole country is coming together to get this job done. but with more than a quarter of the uk's population beginning to build protection against the virus, the calls for lockdown to be eased are growing. we can see the data on the coronavirus dashboard, anyone can see the rate at which the figures are improving. so if we cast our minds forward nearly seven weeks to easter, then we should be in a position where we can take advantage of last year's investments in pubs and restaurants and give people a chance to start enjoying themselves in a covid—secure way. but the government states that any emergence from lockdown should be done carefully. i think people would much rather see a plan that was cautious but irreversible, and one which proceeds sensibly in accordance with where we are with the disease. ministers will analyse the latest data on the effectiveness of the vaccine at the end of this week. but details about what restrictions will be relaxed and when will not be revealed until next monday. laura foster, bbc news. 0ur health editor hugh pym is here. we enter a new phase which means what? ~ , ., ., ., ., , .,

priority groups as of the weekend just gone. there are questions asked about who qualifies as clinically vulnerable to get a jab in the next few weeks as part of the next two priority groups, and it turns out with asthma it needs to be quite a severe condition which qualifies. if you have got asthma, you would qualify for an nhs flu jab each year, but that doesn't automatically get you a covid jab. it is restricted to people who have had emergency hospital admissions in the past or are on oral medication. that has caused concern amongst that community, some saying it is unfair and has been confusing. questions are being asked by those with learning disabilities and those who represent them. some seem to qualify and others don't. there is call for more clarity around it.— more clarity

next priority group is 65 years old and over, and messages are onlyjust going out there that group. when you hear of people of —— in their early 60s or younger who have been offered a vaccination without any severe underlying health conditions. it seems practices have been given the all clear to move down the age groups if they are certain they have been through their priority groups. it could be that they have vaccines left over and they are quickly moving through eight left. it does seem to be an odd situation that some areas are moving through a lot faster than others in this regard. 0ne faster than others in this regard. one of the joys is faster than others in this regard. one of thejoys is i get to faster than others in this regard. one of the joys is i get to see the twitter

definition in the views of a sum that to be fully vaccinated you need both doses and i think it has been made clear that actually it is 50 million who have had theirfirst dose at least, some have had their second in that number. but i think broadly speaking, vaccinated to cover the fact you have had one jab is being quite broadly used out there and understood by the general public what it actually

see you. with vaccinations in full flow, the prime minister has promised to outline a road map out of lockdown in england a week today — the 22nd february. we already have some clues as to his plans. the government wants schools to open to all pupils on the eighth march. next — more outdoor recreation is likely to be allowed. followed by more shops being able to open. and finally, hospitality venues. 0ur political correspondent helen catt gave us this update from westminster. she says the prime minister told us in january that there would be no sudden ending to lockdown restrictions — but now there are growing calls from within the conservative party for a loosening of restrictions. restrictions were announced in january. borisjohnson said then there wouldn't be any sort of big bang to end the restrictions, that what we would see instead was a gradual unwrapping. but what we are seeing is tension over quite how gradual that it should be. you heard there about those 63 conservative mps who wrote to the prime minister asking for all legal restrictions to be lifted by the end of april. now, that is a significant number. 63 is more than what would be needed to overturn the government's majority, and some of the voices in there are pretty senior voices. they will be listened to by downing street. but theirs isn't necessarily the view that is shared by the majority of conservative mps. it is certainly not where labour are, sir keir starmer has already advised borisjohnson not to left lockdown restrictions too quickly, so as not to end up in another lockdown in the future. you heard the language there from borisjohnson himself, pretty wary this morning, talking about a plan that is cautious but irreversible. ministers will have to decide this week exactly how cautious they plan to be. one thing we do understand is there is increasing confidence within government that he is meeting that march the 8th date that he is getting children back into schools in england. prof anthony harnden is the deputy chair of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. good afternoon to you. just been talking to our health editor, we are ahead of schedule on the

with all the efforts so far, but we mustn't underestimate what we had to overcome. we had to make sure we immunise 17 work million in our next priority groups, plus give a second dose of those vaccines to those who have already received their first dose. tremendous achievement but we are only part way there are now and we have got a lot more effort to do. i am very confident with how it is going so far. i think we will see a whole country immunised eventually in a very short space of time. i want to pick you up on the language we are all using because you are quite clear in that answer to differentiate between those who are vaccinated and those who have received their firstjab. we are getting a lot of texts and tweets on this. is it wrong to say if you have had your first dose, you

protection will be after the first dose and it will be after the first dose and it will prevent many people being hospitalised and dying. it is appropriate to say they are vaccinated. what isn't

included occasional inhaled steroids were not at risk. in many ways, there is research going on at the moment which suggests inhaled steroids might even protect against severe competitions of covid.

vaccines to some of these other screens like the south african brazilian variant. it is really important that we stay cautious. these viruses love to transmit and they will try everything they can to make themselves more transmissible and mutate accordingly. vaccination isn't the only way out of this. it isn't the only way out of this. it is by making sure we use lockdown in a very slow and cautious way, so that we keep infection rates low. i think we could win this, but it needs to be both vaccination and a cautious approach moving forward. giving infection rates low, everybody would understand, but from day one of the pandemic, we were told that save lives, ease pressure on the nhs. if the vaccines are doing that by preventing serious illness, preventing hospitalisation and yet people may still be suffering a milderform of it, if you like, where is the harm in that when you have got to balance the damage being done to the economy? that is a difficult balance. but if people are not being hospitalised are getting seriously ill, why shouldn't things just open up? we shouldn't things 'ust open up? we want to shouldn't thingsjust open up? - want to keep people out of hospital, the problem is if we let the virus transmit, it made mutate to give a variant which has vaccine escape and you may end up back in the same position, where faxes don't protect against hospitalisation and death. you need to reduce infection rates at the same time as vaccination. 0nce at the same time as vaccination. once we have got the whole population vaccinated, then we can start breathing a sigh of relief. and it may well be, and is certainly my belief, that we are going to need in annual coronavirus vaccine which is tailored to the predominant variant strains which are in the country at the time. we are an international country as well, we have to interact with the rest of the world. there is a long way to go in terms of getting on top of this pandemic, but we made a very good start. what we don't want to do is lose all that momentum we have got by moving too quickly. i would say less haste, more speed. and by moving too quickly. i would say less haste, more

joined by the government's chief medical adviser professor chris whitty and chief executive of nhs england simon stevens. we'll have full coverage on bbc one and the bbc news channel from 4:30. the headlines on bbc news... england's 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. as some tory mps say vaccination programme success means restriction can be lifted by the end of april, the prime minister says he will announce a plan next week. the first travellers required to stay at quarantine hotels have begun arriving at heathrow airport. they'll have to pay £1,750 for a 10—day stay. as we've mentioned, all uk and irish nationals flying to england from 33 countries classed as high risk now have to quarantine in hotels for ten days. non—uk residents coming from countries on the list are already barred. in scotland, the rule applies to travellers returning from all international destinations. theo leggett reports. arriving at the airport and taken away to a hotel under escort, these passengers at heathrow were among the first to be bused away to take part in the government's new quarantine scheme. they'll spend the next ten days in isolation, in carefully sanitised rooms like these, with security guards on hand to make sure they don't leave. so far, the government's done deals with 16 hotels. it hasjust under 5000 rooms available, with another 58,000 that can be used if necessary. the scottish government has done deals with six hotels and has up to 1300 rooms available. room service. hotel companies say they're doing all they can to make enforced quarantine as bearable as possible. we will be calling every guest every day to check if there is anything we can do for them, any concerns they may have. but in addition, there is also a welfare call provided by government to check on their mental health and well—being, and they'll be dealing with professionals. so, there are two or three calls a day to check on people and see that they're 0k. the government insists these measures are necessary to prevent potentially dangerous new variants of covid—19 getting a foothold in the uk. but hotel quarantine won'tjust be uncomfortable, it's also costly. an adult will have to pay £1750 for a room, although children will be charged less. peter sweeney's wife went to brazil to visit her sick father. now, he says, she's struggling to get back home. she would have been back earlier but unfortunately, the flights were cancelled due to the travel bans and then we rebooked a few times again, and again cancelled, and now we're in this situation, through no real fault of our own. the bottom line is we don't have those funds just sitting around just to go and pay, because it's quite a lot of money. but for these passengers travelling from johannesburg last night, quarantine was just something else they had to endure. i've been isolated in my house for two weeks so i'm used to it. we haven't left our flat for two weeks. i think, all in all, _ it might be a bit expensive, but i guess i understand the reason behind it. . just trying to save lives. i think it's necessary, given all the strains, but i think the downfall is the implementation and the clear guidelines as to what is allowed, who is allowed. meanwhile, the travel industry, already in crisis, is warning that measures like these can't stay in place for very long. we know it's really important that they have measures in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus and the introduction of new variants, and certainly this system couldn't be in place when more people start to travel. there are still concerns about how the new measures will work and whether immigration services have all the resources they need. but for the moment, hotel quarantine is a fact of life, an unprecedented measure for unprecedented times. theo leggett, bbc news. 0ur

from passengers when they get to the hotels, when they are on the flights they are all mixing even if they are coming from some of the countries on the red list or coming from countries where they can get onto public transport and quarantine elsewhere, which will be of concern. as mentioned in the report, as people do head to these hotels, going into this quarantine, it is very expensive. people are paying almost £2000 to cover the cost of the hotels, the transport and tests will be out there to make sure they test negative for coronavirus before they can come out. ., ,., coronavirus before

say, there are very few numbers coming in, but the concerns as if the number set to grow more people head to the uk now they are aware of these new rules, they are now worried that if we get really

looking into it. nicola sturgeon has just nicola sturgeon hasjust done her daily briefing and has explained that there is not very much they can do to enforce the rules as people arrive into england. as it stands, if you fly directly into scotland from anywhere overseas, you have to go into managed isolation in a hotel for ten days. if you coming through heathrow airport and then travel up to scotland, you have to self—isolate at home for ten days. that is much harder to enforce, and the other problem is you have got people flying in to a london airport and there may be taking the train up to scotland. if the scottish government thinks there is a potential that could have been infected overseas, possibly spreading the virus. the answer to the scottish government says it is to take a four nations approach and have the same rules in every part of the uk, and they want the uk government to enforce hotel quarantine for all overseas travellers. the other option is to get people who are flying into english airports were intending to travel to scotland, to isolate in a hotel in england first. that we need the uk government corporation and it is something the scottish government are talking to them about. —— that would need. some breaking news, we are hearing the world trade organization... the world trade organization says nigeria's ngozi 0konjo—iweala is appointed as the next wto director—general. she is a former finance minister of nigeria and former managing director of the world bank. she is the first woman and the first african to have the job. she also recently acquired us citizenship, which means she is also the first american. this comes three months after the trump administration rejected her and threatened to pull out of the organisation altogether. a self—declared duo with a track record of taking on problems, she will have her work cut out in that historic announcement coming from the world trade organization in the last few minutes. you may remember the story we covered last month of police breaking up a wedding party in north london, where they say about 150 people had gathered. guests fled the orthodox jewish school in stamford hill when police arrived. now, the bbc has obtained pictures of another wedding party involving dozens of guests, again taking place in london. a senior rabbi is warning that some are overstepping the mark, despite this part of society suffering particularly high covid rates. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds has been looking into it. music plays. in london's strict 0rthodoxjewish community, a wedding celebration. sources say it happened in early january. they are worried about what's been going on. and now there's a plea from one of the area's elders. segments of this community have sadly overstepped the mark, where things should not go on under these circumstances. one study of a london 0rthodox community found 64% had been infected. london's 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 hasn't 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 we've been investigating this wedding video for a week or so now, and it seems that word has got around, because we've been sent this message which is circulating on local whatsapp groups. police say they'll turn up when called rather than looking for breaches, as they did to this wedding in the summer. sometimes it's hard working out what's going on. upstairs, the classroom. 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 can't have weddings over six people. so you certainly can't have the kind of weddings that we've 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 0rthodox synagogue has closed, but the government has decided places of worship can stay open. no limits on numbers. we're 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. after the sub—zero conditions of last week, this week, we're seeing temperatures above normal for the time of year, a much milder week for all. not much frost around, maybe a little in northern scotland, but with the milder weather comes rain at times and a risk of flooding as we couple that rain with snow melts. temperatures certainly adding to that snow melt today, 12 celsius into the evening. most places dry after little bit of afternoon sunshine but into tonight, outbreaks of rain developing across the country from the west, heavy bursts too, and the winds starting to strengthen. but temperatures not dropping way much, these are the night—time lows, up to 10 degrees, warmer than by day for some tomorrow morning. tomorrow, rain through the morning, especially east anglia, the south east and the channel islands, eventually easing. early showers clearing to sunshine for a time and then another batch of showers get going, some could be heavy and thundery. strong to gale—force winds in western scotland and another mild day across the board. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: england's 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. as some tory mps say vaccination programme success means restriction can be lifted by the end of april, the prime minister says he will announce a plan next week i think people would much rather see a plan that was cautious but irreversible and one that proceeds sensibly, in accordance with where we are with the disease. the first travellers required to stay at quarantine hotels have begun arriving at heathrow airport. they'll have to pay £1750 for a 10—day stay. all in all, it might be a bit expensive but i guess i understand the reason behind it. just trying to save lives. panorama investigates those trying to derail the coronavirus vaccine roll—out. and now for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. you hate it when i push your audience away, don't you simon! good afternoon. england's cricketer�*s are up against it in chennai. they are surely heading for defeat in the second test. with two days left to play, india have a huge lead as they look to square the series. england need a82 to win, no side has managed that in the history of test cricket and they are already three wickets down. here's our sports correspondent, joe wilson. batting in the chain i was near impossible, the pitch near unplayable. rambo, no one told those two. after a zero in the first thing is, it was unthinkable virat kohli would fail this time. well, certainly thinkable for him. but who's this, who's that? ravichandran ashwin, having bowled out england, was now out batting them. born and bred in this city, spectators loved his 50. well, hold something back, england's spin bowlers stuck at it. kohli lbw tammy 62. but ashwin was still batting, still bashing. he’s still batting, still bashing.

ten wickets for india. suitable conditions for bowlers, it happens everywhere. three wickets here by the close, one of them for the chennai champion, and ravichandran ashwin will surely end with a win. so, england facing a heavy defeat. the wicket in chennai, detriorating fast, has been criticised but england's spin bowling consultantjeetan patel says they have to accept the conditions. your on the subcontinent, wickets are firm, they don't move around as much, it doesn't swingers much, so that has to be something. this one has accelerated bit quickly, but thatis has accelerated bit quickly, but that is also playing on the subcontinent, just like when teams come to england or go to other places in the world where it seems the wickets are different, it's just cricket in different parts of the world. rangers have launched an internal investigation after allegations that a number of players attended a party over the weekend, breaking lockdown rules. police were called to a gathering in glasgow in the early hours of sunday morning and ten people were given fixed—penalty notices. two fringe players at the club were suspended earlier this season for breaching covid protocols. we're into the second week at the australian open with quarterfinal places at stake today. rafael nadal is through. the spaniard, who is chasing a 21st grand slam singles title, is yet to drop a set at this year's 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 stefanos tsitsipas. world number one and home favourite ash barty is through, a no—nonsense straight sets win against the american shelby rogers. karolina muchova is also in the quarters. there hasn't been an australian winner in melbourne since christine 0'neil in 1978. two british players are on course to meet in the semifinals of the men's doubles afterjamie murray and bruno soares maintained their

announcement and a possible easing of lockdown. they have proposed lateral—flow mass testing for racegoers with results available within 20 minutes. with only 5000 allowed in daily, they say social distancing could still be observed. that's all the sport for now but there's more on the bbc sport website, including live coverage from the welsh 0pen snooker at the celtic manor resort. i'll be back with more later. solving covid is easy, compared to fixing the climate — that's the warning from billionaire and philanthropist bill gates. the founder of microsoft says it will take the biggest innovation effort the world has ever seen to do it. he's been talking to our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt. well, the pandemic will come to an end because these amazing vaccines were invented in a year and now we are trying to scale them up and adopt them to the variants. but compared to climate change that's very, very easy. sadly, climate change will cause far more deaths, over five times as many per year by the end of the century. but it requires innovation across the entire physical economy, changing steel plants, cement plants, electricity, transport. so if we achieve getting to zero, it will be the most amazing thing humanity has ever done. hold on, the most amazing thing humanity has ever done? if you look in the history of the physical economy we have never made a transition like we are talking about doing in the next 30 years. you have to drive the innovation pipeline, so that starts with the government's r&d budget. then you need a form of venture capital that can take those ideas out of the lab and back them even when they are very high risk. then you need unique partnerships with big companies and then you need somebody who is willing to buy the products to catalytically create volume to bring those prices down. what you are talking about effectively is government subsidy, aren't you? yes, because of the damage climate will bring we need to have price signals to tell the private sector that we want green products because right now you don't see the pain you are causing as you emit carbon dioxide. isn't it a little bit rich, bill gates urging more government intervention? because when you were building microsoft you battled governments around the world, arguing regulation stifled your ability to innovate. climate, without government policies, there is no way we won't work ourselves into an incredible disaster particularly for poor people who live near the equator, the malnutrition and death will be five times what we have in today's pandemic. how hopeful are you that we can come together and solve this huge challenge of climate change? you know, i'm hopeful because young people care about natural ecosystems, they care about people's livelihoods, but it's not going to be easy and my optimism requires every year that this be a huge priority and that with the innovations we get a bit lucky and some of them really do solve hard areas, but i've seen many times innovation surprises us in a positive way. with more than 15 million people having had their first dose of the vaccine, panorama has investigated those trying to derail the roll—out. activists targeting those with fears about the coronavirus vaccine in a social media blitz have accumulated millions more followers during the pandemic. mariana spring, our specialist disinformation reporter, has more. the majority of people in the uk want the vaccine. can i have another two patients, please? but there is a committed minority deploying anti—vaccine messaging online to influence those who are hesitant about the jab. this is rosemary and donald, who are in their 80s from norwich. they were on the government's vaccine priority list but then they received a video called ask the experts on whatsapp. it features 33 people, some brandishing medical credentials. some allege, contrary to scientific evidence, that the vaccines are unsafe and they can alter a person's dna. so this is the video that you'd seen. let's have a watch. the covid—19 vaccine is not proven safe or effective. i it left me in quite a lot of anxiety because it sounded so real and the people were so plausible and they were named as clinicians and doctors, surgeons. the video frightened rosemary so much that she felt unsure about having the vaccine. the real danger to people is in fact those who have the most to lose by not having this vaccine and face the most severe threats from mortality from death from covid, but also long—term illness from covid. panorama contacted all of those in the video. of the people who responded, four defended its contents. five said if we refer to them as anti—vaccine they would take legal action. 0racle films, who produced the video, chose not to comment on its contents. this isjust one part of an online anti—vaccine blitz. social media use has increased across the board during the pandemic, but exclusive bbc monitoring research reveals a huge spike in followers of accounts promoting anti—vax claims, especially on instagram, which is used by younger people. facebook, which owns instagram, has removed some pages highlighted by panorama. the company says it removes harmful misinformation and actively promotes good information. back in norwich, once rosemary realised many of the claims in the video were false, she made her decision. how are you feeling about having the vaccine today? so pleased i can't even say. relieved. i think we both are really looking forward to having it done. 0k? yeah, sure. but that ask the experts video continues to circulate on whatsapp. thank you. that's it, all done. and as long as it's there it could still scare those yet to have theirjabs. and you can watch bbc panorama —

wounded demonstrators and the sound of gunshots. the military, which seized power in a coup more than two weeks ago, has boosted its presence in cities across the country, with armoured vehicles on the streets. protesters are being warned they could face up to 20 years in prison if they obstruct the armed forces. 0ur south east asia correspondent jonathan head reports. gunfire. even for a country thrown back to the dark days of military rule, it was a stressful night. rumours of a full—scale operation by the army were strong and here in myitkyina, gunfire from the security forces suggested this might now be happening. most of the shots, though, appear to have been into the air. then, an eight—hour, nationwide internet blackout. for what purpose, we still aren't clear. this morning, the military was making itself visible in yangon and other cities. that still didn't stop people from protesting against their seizure of power, as they have for the past ten days. if anything, the soldiers offered greater provocation to people who've seen the democracy their country was trying to build crashed once more by the generals. this armoured vehicle found itself surrounded by hostile traffic, the drivers honking their anger. there was anger too at the chinese embassy. china is being accused of backing the coup makers. it is myanmar�*s most powerful neighbour, ambitious for influence here but losing the popularity contest. the military�*s plans from now on are hard to guess. the soldiers, though, are an ominous sign. these are combat units, used to fight armed insurgents on myanmar�*s borders and, in previous unrest, to shoot protesters. and they're back on the streets again. it's the 50th anniversary of the other d—day today — decimalisation day. that's when our old system of pounds, shillings and pence was replaced by the coins and notes we know today. but the transition wasn't straightforward, as tim muffett explains. bloody new money, i don't want it. what's wrong with it? no, i want the old. no, i don't 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. 0ld 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 1000 years when a pound of silver was first divided into 240 coins. that's 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 that's 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. it's easy, isn't it? some worried there'd 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. it's also been sending reminiscence boxes to hundreds of care homes, such as this one in abergavenny. could you tell me what they are? that's two and six. did they used to call it half a crown? half a crown, yeah. well, it'sjust magical, i really, what they've 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, it's 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, didn't you? you certainly did. no one under 50 experienced the pre—decimal world. for some a little older, it doesn't seem that long ago. how much did one of them cost? one and six. one and six? yeah. one of the uk's oldest paperboys has postponed his plans to retire after being given an electric bike. george bailey, who is 80, was thinking of stepping down from his daily delivery route around headcorn, in kent, but says the new bike could see him staying in the job a little while longer. if the bicycle i've got, if it lasts ten years, then i will probably say, "that's it — i'm packing up at 90." now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. hello. 0ur weather has undergone a big turnaround in the last a8—hours. last week, temperatures were well below average. that shows up as blue on this chart here. those blue colours, mainly across eastern europe. this week, we've got the warmth of above—average temperatures with us, most notably as we head towards the end of the week and into next weekend. in fact, by the time we hit saturday, some parts of eastern england could see temperatures as high as 17 degrees, compared to the subzero wind chill of last saturday. so, overall this week, it will be much, much milder than last week. there will be some rain at times, though, coupled with snow melt, flooding will be a risk and it is going to be fairly windy. fairly breezy out there at the moment, but that breeze is coming in from the south—west. you can see how the cloud is tracking from south—west to north—east. we are in between this one which will arrive with some rain tonight, and one clearing away from the east. so, with south—westerly winds, these are the temperatures through the afternoon. we will have seen 1a degrees in the south—east corner, even up to eight or nine celsius in parts of north—east scotland. many will finish the day dry, but into tonight, we will see further rain return across england and wales initially, then to northern ireland and across parts of scotland. some heavy bursts of rain in the west later in the night, and the breeze will be picking up, especially to the west of scotland. it does mean that temperatures tonight well clear of frost levels, around five to around 10 celsius to start tomorrow. a windy day, though, across the western isles of scotland with outbreaks of rain at times. rain initially across central and eastern parts of england confined to east anglia, south—east of the channel islands clearing into the afternoon, and then sunshine and showers. showers in the west could be heavy and thundery. a breezy day across the board, but the strongest of the winds will remain across the far west of scotland. temperatures may be down a little bit on today's values, but still above the 7 or 8 degrees we normally expect at this stage in february. the mild run continues through tuesday night into wednesday. after a fine night, it looks like another weather system will push in later on to bring a bit of a wet start to wednesday across many areas, particularly across scotland. that will clear through. sunshine and showers for many, but more persistent rain looks likely to develop across the southern half of england and wales as we go into wednesday afternoon. maybe a little bit of snow on the scottish mountains, but temperatures still above where we should be for the time of year. and watch them climb further as we go through the next few days. parts of eastern england at 16 or 17 by saturday. this is bbc news, i'm simon mccoy. the headlines... england's 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. as some tory mps say vaccination programme success means restriction can be lifted by the end of april, the prime minister says he will announce a plan next week. i think people would much rather see a plan that was cautious but irreversible and one that proceeds sensibly in accordance with where we are with the disease. the first travellers required to stay at quarantine hotels have begun arriving at heathrow airport. they'll have to pay £1,750 for a 10—day stay. i think all in all it might be a bit expensive, but i guess i understand the reason behind it, trying to save lives. investigating the anti—vaxxers — we look at the activists using social media to undermine the covid vaccine programme. misery for england in the second test in chennai — as india get the upper hand and set them a target of a82 to win. the government's covid vaccine roll—out officially enters a new phase today — with over—65s and the clinically vulnerable now being invited to get their firstjab. the prime minister said a vaccine dose had been offered to all the four groups most at risk from the virus — just 69 days since the uk began its mass vaccination programme. the success of the roll—out means he's now facing a growing call to remove lockdown restrictions. more than 15 million people have now received a firstjab. half a million have also received a second dose. that includes everyone aged 70 and over, care home staff and residents, and the clinically extremely vulnerable. the health secretary matt hancock says 90% of the over—70s have had a jab. however, only around a third of social care staff are thought to have had the vaccine. in the next phase of the roll—out those aged 69 down to 50 years old and all those aged 16 — 6a with underlying health conditions will be offered a jab by the end of april. the government says it will publish a road map for reopening schools, the economy and society next week. here's our health correspondent, laura foster. it's the biggest vaccination campaign in nhs history, and we are only on week ten. the firstjab of the covid vaccine provides the bulk of the protection, and now more than 15 million people across the uk have had theirfirst dose. at a vaccination centre in south—east london, the prime minister praised the nhs and volunteers for their hard work. the numbers are very good for the over—80s, for the over—70s, and i think the 75—79 group, you are looking at 99% that have been done, but there are some people who are still to come forward and i really do urge people to come forward. these jabs, these vaccines, are safe, they are efficacious, they will help protect you against disease. the government has pledged to offer the jab to everyone in the top four priority groups in the uk by today. england and wales have already met this target while scotland says it is confident it will. northern ireland says everyone over 70 will have received an offer by the end of february. but an offer does not mean people have had a jab. for example, a third of social care workers in england have not had theirfirst dose. there will always be a small number of people, who, for whatever reason, decided that they don't want to have a vaccine, but our teams have worked really hard in answering any queries that patients have _ and they have certainly managed to gently persuade a number of people who were quite reluctant initially to have vaccinations. from today, the roll—out of the vaccine has been officially expanded to include the over—65s and anyone considered to be clinically vulnerable. then, the over—60s, the over—55s and the over—50s are set to be invited for theirjabs before may. keeping up the pace of this programme will become more difficult over the next few months, as more people will be coming forward, not only for first doses, but second booster shots as well. at the same time as we are offering vaccines to new groups of people, from march, people will be getting their second doses as well. so, yes, this is a huge operation, requiring great organisational sophistication, but also fantastic team spirit, whether that is on the part of nhs staff, volunteers, our partners in the armed forces, local businesses, local councils, the whole country is coming together to get this job done. but with more than a quarter of the uk's population beginning to build protection against the virus, the calls for lockdown to be eased are growing. we can see the data on the coronavirus dashboard, anyone can see the rate at which the figures are improving. so if we cast our minds forward nearly seven weeks to easter, then we should be in a position where we can take advantage of last year's investments in pubs and restaurants and give people a chance to start enjoying themselves in a covid—secure way. but the government states that any emergence from lockdown should be done carefully. i think people would much rather see a plan that was cautious but irreversible, and one which proceeds sensibly in accordance with where we are with the disease. ministers will analyse the latest data on the effectiveness of the vaccine at the end of this week. but details about what restrictions will be relaxed and when will not be revealed until next monday. laura foster, bbc news. our health editor hugh pym told me that from this weekjabs are being offered to those aged 65 and over, the clinically vulnerable and some carers. that is another step forward after the great achievement of getting through the first four priority groups as of the weekend just gone. there will be one or two questions asked about who qualifies as clinically vulnerable to get a jab in the next few weeks as part of the next two priority groups, and it turns out with asthma, it needs to be quite a severe condition which qualifies. if you have got asthma, you would qualify for an nhs flu jab each year, but that doesn't automatically get you a covid jab. it is restricted to people who have had emergency hospital admissions in the past or are on oral medication. that has caused concern amongst that community, some saying it is unfair and it's been confusing. questions are being asked by those with learning disabilities and those who represent them. some seem to qualify and others don't. there is a call for more clarity around that at the moment. there is a bit of anecdotal evidence out there about some people under 60 or 55 saying they have had a jab. how does that happen? what goes on? it is interesting, it is anecdotal but it seems a bit odd when we are told that next priority group is 65 years old and over, and messages are only just going out to that group. when you hear of people in their early 60s or younger who have been offered a vaccination without any severe underlying health condition. it seems practices have been given the all—clear to move down the age groups if they are absolutely certain they have been through their priority groups. it could be that they have vaccine left over and they are quickly moving through a list. it does seem to be an odd situation that some areas are moving a lot faster than others in this regard. one of the joys of sitting here is i get to see the twitter account and the response of people. some are saying, are we right to say 15 million people have been vaccinated? some are saying that is just the firstjab, it is not the same. i think there is a tight scientific definition in the views of some there that to be fully vaccinated you need both doses and i think it has been made clear that actually it is 15 million who have had their first dose at least, some have had their second in that number. but i think broadly speaking, vaccinated to cover the fact you have had one jab is being quite broadly used out there and understood by the general public what it actually means. 15 million is ahead of the target. 15 million was the number that was set by the prime minister back injanuary, not that long ago. that was the target by today, february the 15th, and that number across the uk was hit as of saturday and reported yesterday. with vaccinations in full flow, the prime minister has promised to outline a road map out of lockdown in england a week today — the 22nd february. we already have some clues as to his plans. the government wants schools to open to all pupils on the 8th march. next — more outdoor recreation is likely to be allowed. followed by more shops being able to open. and finally, hospitality venues. 0ur political correspondent helen catt gave us this update from westminster. she says the prime minister told us in january that there would be no sudden ending to lockdown restrictions — but now there are growing calls from within the conservative party for a loosening of those measures. restrictions were announced in january. borisjohnson said then there wouldn't be any sort of big bang to end the restrictions, that what we would see instead was a gradual unwrapping. but what we are seeing is tension over quite how gradual that it should be. you heard there about those 63 conservative mps who wrote to the prime minister asking for all legal restrictions to be lifted by the end of april. now, that is a significant number. 63 is more than what would be needed to overturn the government's majority, and some of the voices in there are pretty senior voices. they will be listened to by downing street. but theirs isn't necessarily the view that is shared by the majority of conservative mps. it is certainly not where labour are, sir keir starmer has already advised borisjohnson not to lift lockdown restrictions too quickly, so as not to end up in another lockdown in the future. you heard the language there from borisjohnson himself, pretty wary this morning, talking about a plan that is cautious but irreversible. ministers will have to decide this week exactly how cautious they plan to be. one thing we do understand is there is increasing confidence within government that he is meeting that march the 8th date that he is getting children back into schools in england. the prime minister will be leading today's downing street coronavirus briefing. he'll be joined by the government's chief medical adviser professor chris whitty and chief executive of nhs england simon stevens. we'll have full coverage on bbc one and the bbc news channel from a:30. all uk and irish nationals flying to england from 33 countries classed as "high risk" now have to quarantine in hotels for ten days. non—uk—residents coming from countries on the list are already barred. in scotland, the rule applies to travellers returning from all international destinations. theo leggett reports. arriving at the airport and taken away to a hotel under escort, these passengers at heathrow were among the first to be bused away to take part in the government's new quarantine scheme. they'll spend the next ten days in isolation, in carefully sanitised rooms like these, with security guards on hand to make sure they don't leave. so far, the government's done deals with 16 hotels. it hasjust under 5000 rooms available, with another 58,000 that can be used if necessary. the scottish government has done deals with six hotels and has up to 1300 rooms available. room service. hotel companies say they're doing all they can to make enforced quarantine as bearable as possible. we will be calling every guest every day to check if there is anything we can do for them, any concerns they may have. but in addition, there is also a welfare call provided by government to check on their mental health and well—being, and they'll be dealing with professionals. so, there are two or three calls a day to check on people and see that they're 0k. the government insists these measures are necessary to prevent potentially dangerous new variants of covid—19 getting a foothold in the uk. but hotel quarantine won'tjust be uncomfortable, it's also costly. an adult will have to pay £1750 for a room, although children will be charged less. peter sweeney's wife went to brazil to visit her sick father. now, he says, she's struggling to get back home. she would have been back earlier but unfortunately, the flights were cancelled due to the travel bans and then we rebooked a few times again, and again cancelled, and now we're in this situation, through no real fault of our own. the bottom line is we don't have those funds just sitting around just to go and pay, because it's quite a lot of money. but for these passengers travelling from johannesburg last night, quarantine was just something else they had to endure. i've been isolated in my house for two weeks so i'm used to it. we haven't left our flat for two weeks. i think, all in all, _ it might be a bit expensive, but i guess i understand the reason behind it. i just trying to save lives. i think it's necessary, given all the strains, but i think the downfall is the implementation and the clear guidelines as to what is allowed, who is allowed. meanwhile, the travel industry, already in crisis, is warning that measures like these can't stay in place for very long. we know it's really important that they have measures in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus and the introduction of new variants, and certainly this system couldn't be in place when more people start to travel. there are still concerns about how the new measures will work and whether immigration services have all the resources they need. but for the moment, hotel quarantine is a fact of life, an unprecedented measure for unprecedented times. theo leggett, bbc news. our correspondent frankie mccamley is at heathrow airport for us today. she spoke to me a little earlier. we had some of the first passengers arrive under these new rules, around 7am this morning. it was only a very small group of passengers, some had travelled from zambia. we are told by the airport they were put into separate queues when coming through the border and then when they went to collect their baggage and wait for their luggage, they were put into a separate pen. heathrow airport say things are going quite well, smoothly. they are calling it a success at the moment after they said they were working closely with government. at the moment they are saying queues are under an hour to cross through the border, which is very different to earlier last week when we were seeing queues of up to five hours as people were trying to head back and beat these new rules. once they come through the airport they are taken into a bus directly to the hotel. we understand that in the airport things are going smoothly. what we have heard from passengers when they get to the hotels, is when they are on the flights they are all mixing even if they are coming from some of these countries on the red list or coming from countries where they can get onto public transport and quarantine elsewhere, which will be of concern. as theo mentioned in his report, as people do head to these hotels, going into this quarantine, it is very expensive. people are paying almost £2,000 to cover the cost of the hotels, the transport and tests while they are there to make sure they test negative for coronavirus before they can come out. there were some predictions of long queues at airports whilst this was sorted out, is this happening? we don't have the long queues at the airport at the moment, but that is because there are so few people coming into the airport. there are only a certain amount of airports that people can travel into. when they are heading into scotland, anyone who comes in from abroad now has to quarantine. in england, it is that list of 33 countries. like i say, there are very few numbers coming in, but the concern is if the numbers start to grow and more people head to the uk now they are aware of these new rules, they are now worried that if we get really big queues in the airport, it is going to be very difficult to keep people apart from the red list of countries and those other countries coming in, which might put staff in danger, passengers in danger, and could mean these extra restrictions are not really going to work. 0ur scotland editor sarah smith explained why scottish travellers may be able to avoid quarantine due to a loophole — and why the government is looking into it. nicola sturgeon hasjust done her daily briefing and has explained that there is not very much they can do to enforce the rules as people arrive into england. as it stands, if you fly directly into scotland from anywhere overseas, you have to go into managed isolation in a hotel for ten days. if you come in through heathrow airport and then travel up to scotland, you have to self—isolate at home for ten days. that is much harder to enforce, and the other problem is you have got people flying into a london airport and then maybe taking the train up to scotland. the scottish government thinks there is a potential they could have been infected overseas, possibly spreading the virus. the answer, the scottish government says, is to take a four nations approach, ie, have the same rules in every part of the uk, and they want the uk government to enforce hotel quarantine for all overseas travellers. the other option is to get people who are flying into english airports but intending to travel to scotland, to isolate in a hotel in england first. that would the uk government's cooperation and it is something the scottish government are talking to them about. the headlines on bbc news... england's 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. as some tory mps say vaccination programme success means restriction can be lifted by the end of april, the prime minister says he will announce a plan next week. the first travellers required to stay at quarantine hotels have begun arriving at heathrow airport. they'll have to pay £1,750 for a 10—day stay. you may remember the story we covered last month — of police breaking up a wedding party in north london, where they say about 150 people had gathered. guests fled the orthodox jewish school in stamford hill when police arrived. now, the bbc has obtained pictures of another wedding party involving dozens of guests, again taking place in london. a senior rabbi is warning that some are �*overstepping the mark�* — despite this part of society suffering particularly high covid rates. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds has been looking into it. music plays. in london's strict 0rthodoxjewish community, a wedding celebration. sources say it happened in early january. they are worried about what's been going on. and now there's a plea from one of the area's elders. segments of this community have sadly overstepped the mark, where things should not go on under these circumstances. one study of a london 0rthodox community found 6a% had been infected. london's 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 hasn't 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 we've been investigating this wedding video for a week or so now, and it seems that word has got around, because we've been sent this message which is circulating on local whatsapp groups. police say they'll turn up when called rather than looking for breaches, as they did to this wedding in the summer. sometimes it's hard working out what's 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 can't have weddings over six people. so you certainly can't have the kind of weddings that we've 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 0rthodox synagogue has closed, but the government has decided places of worship can stay open. no limits on numbers. we're 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, at the very beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the world's attention was gripped by the diamond princess cruise ship and the passengers stuck on board. they were quarantined for weeks as the disease swept through the ship. 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. "3,500. three days out of yokohama, an elderly passenger fell ill with a serious cough and was taken to hospital on arrival in hong kong. no one was particularly worried, and the ship continued itsjourney, 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 day 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 their cabins 2a 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?" don't know how we are sitting here for 12 days and getting contaminated. something is going wrong. this is a failed quarantine. 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 passengerfell 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 ones 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. the mayor of blackburn in lancashire has resigned after being fined 200 pounds forflouting covid rules. iftakhar hussain has also suspended himself from the council's ruling labour group. he has apologised for attending a wedding on saturday, where up to 30 people were present, describing it as an "error ofjudgement". luxury car brand jaguar has announced it will only produce electric vehicles from 2025. jaguar landrover said it aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2039. by the end of the decade, everyjaguar and land rover model will be offered with an electric—only version. the company says there are currently no plans to close any manufacturing facilities. solving covid is easy — compared to fixing the climate. that's the warning from billionaire and philanthropist bill gates. the founder of microsoft says it will take the biggest innovation effort the world has ever seen to do it. he's been talking to our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt. well, the pandemic will come to an end because these amazing vaccines were invented in a year and now we are trying to scale them up and adopt them to the variants. but compared to climate change that's very, very easy. sadly, climate change will cause far more deaths, over five times as many per year by the end of the century. but it requires innovation across the entire physical economy, changing steel plants, cement plants, electricity, transport. so if we achieve getting to zero, it will be the most amazing thing humanity has ever done. hold on, the most amazing thing humanity has ever done? if you look in the history of the physical economy we have never made a transition like we are talking about doing in the next 30 years. you have to drive the innovation pipeline, so that starts with the government's r&d budget. then you need a form of venture capital that can take those ideas out of the lab and back them even when they are very high risk. then you need unique partnerships with big companies and then you need somebody who is willing to buy the products to catalytically create volume to bring those prices down. what you are talking about effectively is government subsidy, aren't you? yes, because of the damage climate will bring we need to have price signals to tell the private sector that we want green products because right now you don't see the pain you are causing as you emit carbon dioxide. isn't it a little bit rich, bill gates urging more government intervention? because when you were building microsoft you battled governments around the world, arguing regulation stifled your ability to innovate. climate, without government policies, there is no way we won't work ourselves into an incredible disaster particularly for poor people who live near the equator, the malnutrition and death will be five times what we have in today's pandemic. how hopeful are you that we can come together and solve this huge challenge of climate change? you know, i'm hopeful because young people care about natural ecosystems, they care about people's livelihoods, but it's not going to be easy and my optimism requires every year that this be a huge priority and that with the innovations we get a bit lucky and some of them really do solve hard areas, but i've seen many times innovation surprises us in a positive way. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. after the sub—zero conditions of last week, this week, we're seeing temperatures above normal for the time of year, a much milder week for all. not much frost around, maybe a little in northern scotland, but with the milder weather comes rain at times and a risk of flooding as we couple that rain with snow melts. temperatures certainly adding to that snow melt today, 12 celsius into the evening. most places dry after little bit of afternoon sunshine but into tonight, outbreaks of rain developing across the country from the west, heavy bursts too, and the winds starting to strengthen. but temperatures not dropping way much, these are the night—time lows, up to 10 degrees, warmer than by day for some tomorrow morning. tomorrow, rain through the morning, especially east anglia, the south east and the channel islands, eventually easing. early showers clearing to sunshine for a time and then another batch of showers get going, some could be heavy and thundery. strong to gale—force winds in western scotland and another mild day across the board. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: england's 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. as some tory mps say vaccination programme success means restriction can be lifted by the end of april, the prime minister says he will announce a plan next week. the first travellers required to stay at quarantine hotels have in the next hour we will be hearing from the prime minister at the coronavirus of briefing and he will also be talking about the first wave of travellers being required to quarantine at hotels. investigating the anti—vaxxers — we look at the activists using social media to undermine the covid vaccine programme. that all went much better in rehearsal! sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's 0lly foster. good afternoon. england's cricketer�*s are up surely heading for efeat in the second test. with two days left to play, india have a huge lead as they look to square the series. england need a82 to win, no side has managed that in the history of test cricket, and they are already three wickets down. here's our sports correspondent, joe wilson. batting in chennai was near—impossible, the pitch near unplayable, remember? no—one told those two. after a zero in the first innings, it was unthinkable virat kohli would fail this time. well, certainly thinkable for him. but who's this, what's that? ravichandran ashwin, having bowled out england, was now out—batting them. born and bred in this city, spectators loved his 50. well, hold something back. england's spin bowlers stuck at it. kohli lbw for 62. but ashwin was still batting, still bashing. he's absolutely nailed that! spectators still counting. not much evidence of social distance but he's close to 100, just one more swing of the bat. he has done it! that seeming like the ultimate expression of india's position until their worst batsmen started hitting sixes. mohammed siraj, last one in, biggest hit of the day. england now chase uncharted targets. well, joe, a82 to win, or ten wickets for india. suitable conditions for bowlers, it happens everywhere. three wickets here by the close, one of them for the chennai champion, and ravichandran will surely end with a win. so, england facing a heavy defeat. the wicket in chennai, which is detriorating fast, has been criticised but england's spin bowling consultant jeetan patel says they have to accept the conditions. you're on the subcontinent, wickets are firm, they don't move around as much, it doesn't swing as much, so that has to be something. this one has accelerated bit quickly, but that is also playing on the subcontinent, just like when teams come to england or go to other places in the world where it seems the wickets are different, it's just cricket in different parts of the world. rangers have launched an internal investigation after allegations that a number of players attended a party over the weekend, breaking lockdown rules. police were called to a gathering in glasgow in the early hours of sunday morning and ten people were given fixed—penalty notices. two fringe players at the club were suspended earlier this season for breaching covid protocols. champions league football returns tomorrow, we're at the last—16 knockout stage. liverpool are the first british side in action. the first leg away against leipzig tomorrow will actually be played in budapest because of germany's covid travel restrictions. that's why the liverpool manager jurgen klopp was also unable to attend his mother's funeral last week. a very difficult time for him personally as well as profesionally, their title defence has wobbled with three defeats in a row. of course, were influenced by things that happen around but no—one has to worry about me. i, honestly, i might look like this because the weather is cold and the great and the beard gets more and more, all of this kind of things. yes, i don't sleep a lot, that's all true, but i'm full of energy. honestly, the situation is a challenge, the boys are ready, i'm ready and we will give absolutely everything. chester racecourse has drawn up plans to allow up to 15,000 spectators to attend their three—day may festival, pending the government's road map announcement and a possible easing of lockdown. they have proposed lateral—flow mass testing for racegoers, with results available within 20 minutes. and with only 5000 allowed in daily, they say social distancing could still be observed. the track is currently being used as an nhs mass—vaccination centre. that's all the sport for now but there's more on the bbc sport website, including live coverage from the welsh 0pen snooker at the celtic manor resort. i'll be back with more later. the world trade organization has appointed its first female and african as the next director—general. ngozi 0konjo—iweala is a former finance minister of nigeria and a former managing director of the world bank. she is taking the reins of the wto during one of the most tumultuous periods for global markets, with the pandemic affecting trade and the tense relations between the us and china. so, what lies ahead for her? i'm joined now by yael selfin, chief economist at kpmg uk. thank you forjoining us. this is history, we are mackerel talking about the first woman and the first african, why her? she about the first woman and the first african, why her?— african, why her? she does have am-le african, why her? she does have ample experience _ african, why her? she does have ample experience in _ african, why her? she does have| ample experience in international organisations, she was at the world bank for a long time, she's an economist and she is a very passionate woman who has done a lot. also, as a politician in her home country, so she's very well qualified for the job at. qualified for the 'ob at. this comes three months _ qualified for the job at. this comes three months after— qualified for the job at. this comes three months after donald - qualified for the job at. this comesj three months after donald trump's administration rejected her and suggested they were to pull out of the wto altogether, so it's fair to say the wto has some battles ahead? absolutely, there is a lot to do. normally, progress at the tubby tiote takes many, many years, so she will need —— at the wto so she will need to take on a lot and hopefully she will manage to do something and ultimately it is a very difficult tasks you will have a head. what does the wto — tasks you will have a head. what does the wto do, _ tasks you will have a head. what does the wto do, how— tasks you will have a head. what does the wto do, how does i tasks you will have a head. what does the wto do, how does it affect anybody watching right now who says, i've come to it but are not quite sure what that organisation is responsible for?— sure what that organisation is responsible for? essential that a two key areas — responsible for? essential that a two key areas where _ responsible for? essential that a two key areas where it _ responsible for? essential that a | two key areas where it operates, responsible for? essential that a i two key areas where it operates, one is to try and resolve trade disputes in a way that would be more equitable. so it would be bodies that try and resolve the disputes between different countries that are members, ratherthan between different countries that are members, rather than getting them to impose tariffs or anything else unilaterally, which is what we've seen more recently with the us. that's one thing which is not working at the moment, actually, because that is one of the things she will have to try and renew, it will be very difficult to get the us on board for that. the other one is to open up trade, to create new trading agreements that will cover more countries together, cover both developed and emerging or developing economies so that trade is more open but more equitable as well. you economies so that trade is more open but more equitable as well.— but more equitable as well. you have the us, but more equitable as well. you have the us, the —

role? absolutely. that is one of her strengths, as a politician, that she may be able to move things a little bit more than a technocrat, if you like. because a lot of it is just bringing people together and trying to get them to see sense and make the compromises that will be needed inevitably in order to reach agreements. has inevitably in order to reach agreements.— inevitably in order to reach agreements. inevitably in order to reach atreements. a agreements. as i was saying, when we talk about the — agreements. as i was saying, when we talk about the wto _ agreements. as i was saying, when we talk about the wto before, _ agreements. as i was saying, when we talk about the wto before, you - talk about the wto before, you normally get the image of an older white man, this is quite a change and we are talking about a woman who describes herself as a do? absolutely, and you will need someone who will try and push things a little more and she's tough in that sense, she has managed to achieve quite a lot in her other roles. but also, one of the things thatis roles. but also, one of the things that is making it more difficult for the organisation to advance is actually bringing in emerging economies on boards and getting them to agree to free up some of the market and sign up to some of these agreements. so having someone from africa, for example, who will be able to look into the interest of emerging economies and countries as well as trying to convince them to come on board these very difficult negotiations and agreements that the organisation needs to orchestrate. thank you so much for your time. thank you so much for your time. thank you. more now on the government's target for the coronavirus vaccine rollout. there's been some confusion today over whether we should say 15 million people in the uk have been vaccinated against covid—19 or that most of them have only received a firstjab. earlier i spoke to professor anthony harden, from thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, and asked him to clarify that point we do know that substantial proportion protection will be after the first dose and without this many people will be hospitalised and even die. so it is appropriate to say there have been vaccinated but it is not appropriate to say they have completed the vaccination course, not course needs to include that second dose. £th not course needs to include that second dose-— not course needs to include that second dose. . ., ., second dose. can i look at some of the groups — second dose. can i look at some of

vaccines are effective against these vaccines are effective against the so—called kent streaming but we are sensitive the effectiveness against the other variants. so it is really important that we stay cautious. these viruses love to transmit and they will try everything they can do to make themselves more transmissible and mutate accordingly. so, vaccination isn't the only way out of this, it's by making sure we ease lockdown in a very slow and cautious way so that we keep infection rates low. i think we keep infection rates low. i think we can win this but it needs to be both vaccination and a cautious approach moving forward. keeping infection rates _ approach moving forward. keeping infection rates low, _ approach moving forward. keeping infection rates low, everybody i approach moving forward. keeping l infection rates low, everybody would understand, but from day one of the pandemic we were told that save lives, ease pressure on the nhs — if the vaccines are doing that by preventing serious illness, preventing serious illness, preventing hospitalisation, and yet people may be suffering a milder form of it, if you like, where is the harm in that when you've to balance, the government has to balance, the government has to balance, the government has to balance, the damage done to the economy. if people aren't getting hospitalised, why shouldn't things just

to keep people out of hospital, the problem is, if- out of hospital, the problem is, if we let the virus transmit, it may mutate to give a variant which is resistant to the vaccine and there for you may end up in the same position. so comic really do need to reduce the infection rates at the same time as vaccination. 0nce reduce the infection rates at the same time as vaccination. once we have the whole population vaccinated, then we can start breathing more of a sigh of relief and it may well be, and it is certainly my belief, that we will need an annual coronavirus vaccine thatis need an annual coronavirus vaccine that is tailored to the predominant strains in circulation in the country at the time. with more than 15 million people having had their first dose of the vaccine, panorama has investigated those trying to derail the roll—out. activists targeting those with fears about the coronavirus vaccine in a social media blitz have accumulated millions more followers during the pandemic. mariana spring, our specialist disinformation reporter, has more. the majority of people in the uk want the vaccine. can i have another two patients, please? but there is a committed minority deploying anti—vaccine messaging online to influence those who are hesitant about the jab. this is rosemary and donald, who are in their 80s, from norwich. they were on the government's vaccine priority list but then they received a video called ask the experts on whatsapp. it features 33 people, some brandishing medical credentials. some allege, contrary to scientific evidence, that the vaccines are unsafe and they can alter a person's dna. so, this is the video that you'd seen. let's have a watch. the covid—19 vaccine is not proven safe or effective. i it left me in quite a lot of anxiety because it sounded so real and the people were so plausible and they were named as clinicians and doctors, surgeons. the video frightened rosemary so much that she felt unsure about having the vaccine. the real danger to people is in fact those who have the most to lose by not having this vaccine and face the most severe threats from mortality from death from covid, but also long—term illness from covid. panorama contacted all of those in the video. of the people who responded, four defended its contents. five said if we refer to them as anti—vaccine they would take legal action. 0racle films, who produced the video, chose not to comment on its contents. this isjust one part of an online anti—vaccine blitz. social media use has increased across the board during the pandemic, but exclusive bbc monitoring research reveals a huge spike in followers of accounts promoting anti—vax claims, especially on instagram, which is used by younger people. facebook, which owns instagram, has removed some pages highlighted by panorama. the company says it removes harmful misinformation and actively promotes good information. back in norwich, once rosemary realised many of the claims in the video were false, she made her decision. how are you feeling about having the vaccine today? so pleased, i can't even say. relieved. i think we both are really looking forward to having it done. 0k? yeah, sure. but that ask the experts video continues to circulate on whatsapp. thank you. that's it, all done. and as long as it's there it could still scare those yet to have theirjabs. and you can watch bbc panorama — vaccines: the disinformation war on bbc one, tonight at 7:35pm. there are reports of soldiers using rubber bullets against protesters in myanmar, as the military tries to quash resistance. social media posts have shown wounded demonstrators and the sound of gunshots. the military, which seized power in a coup more than two weeks ago, has boosted its presence in cities across the country, with armoured vehicles on the streets. protesters are being warned they could face up to 20 years in prison if they obstruct the armed forces. 0ur south east asia correspondent jonathan head reports. gunfire. even for a country thrown back to the dark days of military rule, it was a stressful night. rumours of a full—scale operation by the army were strong and here in myitkyina, gunfire from the security forces suggested this might now be happening. most of the shots, though, appear to have been into the air. then, an eight—hour, nationwide internet blackout. for what purpose, we still aren't clear. this morning, the military was making itself visible in yangon and other cities. that still didn't stop people from protesting against their seizure of power, as they have for the past ten days. if anything, the soldiers offered greater provocation to people who've seen the democracy their country was trying to build crashed once more by the generals. this armoured vehicle found itself surrounded by hostile traffic, the drivers honking their anger. there was anger too at the chinese embassy. china is being accused of backing the coup makers. it is myanmar�*s most powerful neighbour, ambitious for influence here but losing the popularity contest. the military�*s plans from now on are hard to guess. the soldiers, though, are an ominous sign. these are combat units, used to fight armed insurgents on myanmar�*s borders and, in previous unrest, to shoot protesters. and they're back on the streets again. it's the 50th anniversary of the other d—day today — decimalisation day. that's when our old system of pounds, shillings and pence was replaced by the coins and notes we know today. but the transition wasn't straightforward, as tim muffett explains. bloody new money, i don't want it. what's wrong with it? no, i want the old. no, i don't 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. 0ld 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 1000 years, when a pound of silver was first divided into 2a0 coins. that's 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 more correctly and accurately a re—education campaign and of its kind is the most massive that's 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. it's easy, isn't it? some worried there'd 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. it's also been sending reminiscence boxes to hundreds of care homes, such as this one in abergavenny. could you tell me what they are? that's two and six. did they used to call it half a crown? half a crown, yeah. well, it'sjust magical, i really, what they've 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, it's sparking conversationsj going on from what the memory box is 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, didn't you? you certainly did. no—one under 50 experienced the pre—decimal world. for some a little older, it doesn't seem that long ago. how much did one of them cost? one and six. one and six? yeah. one of the uk's oldest paperboys has postponed his plans to retire, after being given an electric bike. george bailey, who is 80, was thinking of stepping down from his daily delivery route around headcorn, in kent, but says the new bike could see him staying in the job a little while longer. if the bicycle i've got, if it lasts ten years, then i will probably say, "that's it — i'm packing up at 90." now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. 0ur weather has undergone a big turnaround in the last a8 hours. last week, temperatures were well below average. that shows up as blue on this chart here. those blue colours, mainly across eastern europe. this week, we've got the warmth of above—average temperatures with us, most notably as we head towards the end of the week and into next weekend. in fact, by the time we hit saturday, some parts of eastern england could see temperatures as high as 17 degrees, compared to the subzero wind chill of last saturday. so, overall this week, it will be much, much milder than last week. there will be some rain at times, though, coupled with snow melt, flooding will be a risk and it is going to be fairly windy. fairly breezy out there at the moment, but that breeze is coming in from the south—west. you can see how the cloud is tracking from south—west to north—east. we are in between this one which will arrive with some rain tonight, and one clearing away from the east. so, with south—westerly winds, these are the temperatures through the afternoon. we will have seen 1a degrees in the south—east corner, even up to eight or nine celsius in parts of north—east scotland. many will finish the day dry, but into tonight, we will see further rain return across england and wales initially, then to northern ireland and across parts of scotland. some heavy bursts of rain in the west later in the night, and the breeze will be picking up, especially to the west of scotland. it does mean that temperatures tonight well clear of frost levels, around five to around 10 celsius to start tomorrow. a windy day, though, across the western isles of scotland with outbreaks of rain at times. rain initially across central and eastern parts of england confined to east anglia, south—east of the channel islands clearing into the afternoon, and then sunshine and showers. showers in the west could be heavy and thundery. a breezy day across the board, but the strongest of the winds will remain across the far west of scotland. temperatures may be down a little bit on today's values, but still above the 7 or 8 degrees we normally expect at this stage in february. the mild run continues through tuesday night into wednesday. after a fine night, it looks like another weather system will push in later on to bring a bit of a wet start to wednesday across many areas, particularly across scotland. that will clear through. sunshine and showers for many, but more persistent rain looks likely to develop across the southern half of england and wales as we go into wednesday afternoon. maybe a little bit of snow on the scottish mountains, but temperatures still above where we should be for the time of year. and watch them climb further as we go through the next few days. parts of eastern england at 16 or 17 by saturday. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines... england's covid vaccine roll—out enters a new phase today — with over—65s and the clinically vulnerable now invited to get their first jab. some conservative mps are claiming the success of the roll—out means restrictions should be lifted by the end of april — the prime minister will announce his road map out of lockdown next week. i think people would much rather see a plan that was cautious but irreversible and one that proceeds sensibly in accordance with where we are with the disease. and in an hour's time, we'll be hearing from the prime minister at today's coronavirus briefing live from downing street. also in the programme... the first travellers required to stay at quarantine hotels start arriving at heathrow airport — with a price tag of almost 2000 pounds for a ten day stay. court documents raise questions about whether the cabinet office may have misled the public over a government contract being awarded to friends of dominic cummings. it's all going wrong for england's cricketers in the second test match in chennai — india set them a target of a82 to win. the government's covid vaccine roll—out enters a new phase today — with over—65s and the clinically vulnerable now invited to get their first jab. the prime minister says that so far, the vaccine has been offered to all the four groups most at risk from the virus, but the success of the roll—out means mrjohnson is now facing a growing call to remove lockdown restrictions. more than 15 million people have now received firstjab — and half a million their second. the total includes everyone aged 70 and over, care home staff and residents, and the clinically extremely vulnerable. the health secretary matt hancock says 90% of the over—70s have had a jab. but only around a third of social care staff are thought to have had the vaccine. in the next phase of the roll—out those aged 69 down to 50 years old and all those aged 16 — 6a with underlying health conditions will be offered a jab by the end of april. the government says it will publish a road map for reopening schools, the economy and society next week. here's our health correspondent, laura foster. it's the biggest vaccination campaign in nhs history, and we are only on week ten. the firstjab of the covid vaccine provides the bulk of the protection, and now more than 15 million people across the uk have had theirfirst dose. at a vaccination centre in south—east london, the prime minister praised the nhs and volunteers for their hard work. the numbers are very good for the over—80s, for the over—70s, and i think the 75—79 group, you are looking at 99% that have been done, but there are some people who are still to come forward and i really do urge people to come forward. these jabs, these vaccines, are safe, they are efficacious, they will help protect you against disease. the government has pledged to offer the jab to everyone in the top four priority groups in the uk by today. england and wales have already met this target while scotland says it is confident it will. northern ireland says everyone over 70 will have received an offer by the end of february. but an offer does not mean people have had a jab. for example, a third of social care workers in england have not had theirfirst dose. there will always be a small number of people, who, for whatever reason, decided that they don't want to have a vaccine, but our teams have worked really hard in answering any queries that patients have _ and they have certainly managed to gently persuade a number of people who were quite reluctant initially to have vaccinations. from today, the roll—out of the vaccine has been officially expanded to include the over—65s and anyone considered to be clinically vulnerable. then, the over—60s, the over—55s and the over—50s are set to be invited for theirjabs before may. keeping up the pace of this programme will become more difficult over the next few months, as more people will be coming forward, not only for first doses, but second booster shots as well. at the same time as we are offering vaccines to new groups of people, from march, people will be getting their second doses as well. so, yes, this is a huge operation, requiring great organisational sophistication, but also fantastic team spirit, whether that is on the part of nhs staff, volunteers, our partners in the armed forces, local businesses, local councils, the whole country is coming together to get this job done. but with more than a quarter of the uk's population beginning to build protection against the virus, the calls for lockdown to be eased are growing. we can see the data on the coronavirus dashboard, anyone can see the rate at which the figures are improving. so if we cast our minds forward nearly seven weeks to easter, then we should be in a position where we can take advantage of last year's investments in pubs and restaurants and give people a chance to start enjoying themselves in a covid—secure way. but the government states that any emergence from lockdown should be done carefully. i think people would much rather see a plan that was cautious but irreversible, and one which proceeds sensibly in accordance with where we are with the disease. ministers will analyse the latest data on the effectiveness of the vaccine at the end of this week. but details about what restrictions will be relaxed and when will not be revealed until next monday. laura foster, bbc news. just had the latest figures in the uk. cases, 9765 cases. if wejust compare that to a week ago, monday of last week, the 8th of february, that was 1a,10a positive cases, so that was 1a,10a positive cases, so thatis that was 1a,10a positive cases, so that is down significantly on a week ago. monday figures are often lower because of the lack of reporting on the weekend. deaths, 230 deaths within 28 days of a positive test. that compares to 233 deaths a week ago, so again that is down by around ago, so again that is down by around a hundred figures of a week ago. in terms of the number of vaccinations, we know the government have managed to surpass the target of 15 million in good time, but 15 million 300,151 people, they are saying have received a first vaccine dose. in a few minutes we'll be speaking to professor neil ferguson, an epidemiologist at imperial college london who — last march — predicted that up to 500,000 britons could die from covid—19, which led to the government enforcing a nationwide lockdown. we will be talking to professor ferguson about his views and how the vaccine wallet is going and what that should mean for the of restrictions. —— vaccine roll—out. with vaccinations in full flow, the prime minister has promised to outline a road map out of lockdown in england a week today — the 22nd february. we already have some clues as to his plans. the government wants schools to open to all pupils on the 8th march. next — more outdoor recreation is likely to be allowed. followed by more shops being able to open. and finally, hospitality venues. plenty of work going on in downing street ahead of next monday when that road map will be published. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is at westminster. we were hearing from borisjohnson today that his approach is cautious, but he wants it all to be irreversible, that was the new buzzword for today. in other words, this lockdown, he wants to be the very last lockdown. that especially the message _ very last lockdown. that especially the message that _ very last lockdown. that especially the message that boris _ very last lockdown. that especially the message that boris johnson i very last lockdown. that especially. the message that boris johnson was the message that borisjohnson was trying to get across earlier when he spoke to reporters. he used that phrase a couple of times, cautious but irreversible, the idea of taking it slow and steady so we don't end “p it slow and steady so we don't end up in another lockdown. there is some tension within the conservative party about how cautious should be. borisjohnson had said when lockdown restrictions were brought in at the beginning, there wouldn't be any big bang at the end of this when the restrictions were eased overnight, but this would be a gradual unwrapping. some of his backbenchers would like to see that happen fairly swiftly. and it shouldn't be any legal restrictions by the end of april, that would coincide with the point that all the over 50s should have received their first deals in the current plans in the vaccine roll—out. 63 conservative mps wrote to the prime minister over the weekend setting out that coll. 63 is a significant number, more than what would be needed to defeat the government in a vote in parliament, but it isn't necessarily reflective of the majority view on the conservative backbenches and it isn't where the labour party is on this. keir starmerwas isn't where the labour party is on this. keir starmer was winning a couple of weeks ago that the government shouldn't left restrictions to quickly to avoid ending up in another lockdown. —— warning. we have the broadsheet of where the government should go. next week which gets more detail. boris johnson was saying he is hoping he will be able to set updates which will be able to set updates which will be able to set updates which will be earliest possible points on which each of these things could happen, though he said the government wasn't hesitate to move them if they needed to. these dates are yet to be set out. ministers this week will look at the scientific data and look at the information from the vaccine roll—out programme. things like how well it is stopping people from becoming sick, how well as it's often people crucially from passing the virus on to others, to be able to set the finer details of that road map. i to set the finer details of that road map-— to set the finer details of that roadma. , , ., road map. i suppose the problem for him, and ministers, _ road map. i suppose the problem for him, and ministers, is _ road map. i suppose the problem for him, and ministers, is the _ road map. i suppose the problem for him, and ministers, is the greatest i him, and ministers, is the greatest success of the vaccine roll—out, and no doubt it has been really successful, the more pressure to ease lockdown quickly. that is exactly what we have seen from those 60 odd conservative backbench mps. absolutely, it is the sense that this is a big moment when the government. they say they have met that first target that the set by the vaccine roll—out of what was a hugely challenging logistical operation, that is a big moment, but success breeds more expectation and the question being asked is if you have managed to vaccinate these people so quickly, what does that mean for being able to lessen the restrictions that everyone in england is currently living under? that is where it is breeding that expectation. we are seeing that within the conservative party specifically with those calls from those 63 conservative backbenchers, but it is certainly questions that are being asked and once that ministers are very much moving to next week to say, nearly than is when we can start to give you some of those answers. simply, we don't have the data at the moment to be able to

prioritised. matt hancock said it was "very important" for the staff, patients and society that they get the jab. mike padgham is a care home manager and chair of the independent care group. thank you very much for being with us. you know this sector so well, can you explain why so many care home staff have decided not to have the vaccine?— home staff have decided not to have the vaccine? good afternoon. i think it is treat the vaccine? good afternoon. i think it is great that _ the vaccine? good afternoon. i think it is great that two _ the vaccine? good afternoon. i think it is great that two thirds _ the vaccine? good afternoon. i think it is great that two thirds have, i it is great that two thirds have, but yes, the remaining third, we want to work hard to make sure they do get it. the reason is, well, in some cases, some workers will be pregnant and worried about having the vaccine, which i believe it is recommended not to have it at the moment. we have the are from people about possible side effects. we have heard of some places where it has been difficult to access the vaccine sometimes and the length of time it takes, some are waiting in queues to have it. there are a number of factors affecting it, but we are working hard to reduce it. the big thing is to make sure there is a campaign on social media about not having the vaccine, which is featuring on panorama. we have got to make sure the government can help us to get the message of hope that the vaccine is safe and encouraging the vaccine is safe and encouraging the care workers to have it as soon as possible. the care workers to have it as soon as possible-— the care workers to have it as soon as tossible. . . ., ., �* as possible. what are you doing? are ou ttoin as possible. what are you doing?

don't want them to become harassed into it. it has to be a choice they make. hopefully when they see the kites have done, they might get it done. sometimes people are worried about the side—effects, they will be worried perhaps that they have young children they will not be able to look after them after they have the vaccine. there is a number of factors, but i would like to do this by persuasion and asked the government to have more of a campaign to counteract what is happening on social media. in some areas, it can be quite hysterical. given the fact that around a third have not had the vaccine, how much less safety think it is making are care homes? it less safety think it is making are care homes?— less safety think it is making are care homes? ., , ., ., , . care homes? it does

yes, it does it add to the safety. we have to do everything we can to make sure as many as possible have been vaccinated. —— it does not add to the safety. we cannot force those to have it done, so

government enforcing a nationwide lockdown. good to have you with us. given we have the vaccine roll—out being so successful, the government has surpassed their 15 million target. what you think that means about the easing of restrictions? i know you are asked to all the time, but we have some conservative mp saying, we had vaccinated most people by the end of april, that is when we should all lockdown restrictions. the end of april, that is when we should all lockdown restrictions.— all lockdown restrictions. the news about vaccination _ all lockdown restrictions. the news about vaccination is _ all lockdown restrictions. the news about vaccination is fantastic. - all lockdown restrictions. the news about vaccination is fantastic. it . about vaccination is fantastic. it has happened at a pace faster than we could have hoped for. but we have to be cautious. everybody has just had one dose and with one dose, whilst it does give a significant level of protection, it is not perfect. secondly, a lot of people have been immunised in the last week or two and will not have protection. not everybody, as we have just heard in the last interview, has been vaccinated. there is still, at the moment, we think, a potential that if we relax too quickly before we had vaccinated everybody over 50 and then frankly all adults, of transmission taking off again. i am supportive of the government position which is to say they are going to be driven by the data. first of all, what we hope to see in the next few weeks is a significant decline in the deaths of vaccinated people compared with people who haven't received vaccines, and we haven't received vaccines, and we have some early indication of that now, so data on how effective the vaccine is. and then a targeted and staged approach to relaxation, starting with schools. we all agree schools are critically important, and then going from there. it has to be cautious and driven by the data. just looking at the data from israel, they have managed to vaccinate millions of their people, they are reporting a 94% drop in symptomatic coronavirus cases among 600,000 fully vaccinated people. that is very encouraging, isn't it? that is very encouraging, isn't it? that is very encouraging, isn't it? that is fantastic. that is for the pfizer vaccine, only 20% of our people receiving the vaccine are getting that. the astrazeneca vaccine, whilst effective, it's not that effective. it is not as effective as the pfizer one, so we are expecting something like 870% or so drop in symptomatic disease. something of that order. —— 70% drop. once everybody should get it, it will offer a good degree of protection, it is not perfect. by the autumn, once we have more stocks of the vaccines, the pfizer, the moderne, with higher effectiveness, then we will be at higher level of protection. he then we will be at higher level of protection-— then we will be at higher level of rotection. , ., , , protection. he said

think the government is rightly pushing back on the minority of mps who are demanding faster movements. i think as long as we are driven by the data and what we see in terms of trends of hospitalisation and death, and only take it step—by—step, then we should be in a much better place, even by me. we won't necessarily have everything removed, but we will be in an easier position with more normal social interactions and then gradually over the coming months, going towards the autumn, things will become lighter and lighter touch in terms of controls. the government — touch in terms

be given a focus group and communications support services contract because bosses were his "friends". dominic cummings said he would "never do such a thing". he defended the award of the contract to public first after a campaign group complained of "apparent bias" and took legal action. let's get more on this with our correspondent lucy manning. tell us what is happening with this case. . , ., .,

longer works for the government, but he | case. dominic cummings no longer. works for the government, but he is certainly taking centre stage in this case with his witness statement. it is continuing as we talk in the high court. what is happening is the campaign group, the good law project, have crowdfunded and raised money to sue the cabinet office to say that a contract that was awarded at the first stage of the pandemic to a communication company called public first, that that contract was given under apparent bias, that i shouldn't have been given, and it was for more than half £1 million, because the people who ran the company were friends of dominic cummings. it is run by two people who used to work with mr cummings, and the allegation as he gave them the contract because they were friends. in his witness statement, dominic cummings does it they were friends. he said he saw that as a bonus, not as a problem, because he knew the company did good work, that it was important at the beginning of the covid crisis, that the government was able to communicate properly with people about what was going on, and also to find out if the messages were getting through. that was why he needed to hire them. but the good law project, the pc for them, said there should have been a proper process, that he should not have been able to give his mates, in inverted commerce, this sort of size of contract. one of the civil servants, some of her e—mails have been revealed in the court process today where she writes and says that these were dominic cummings' mates, and that is why they seem to get all this work. he denies that and government denies that it has acted improperly. there are rules during an emergency that you can give out contracts without them going out to competition, without them being done in the normal way, but work that has done is lead to a lot of allegations of cronyism and people being awarded, as we have seen with ppe, the protective equipment contracts, where maybe they shouldn't have done. this case is still going on today. we are not likely to get the decision from the judge today, but i think it will come at some stage later. a , think it will come at some stage later. , ., ., ., all uk and irish nationals flying to england from 33 countries classed as "high risk" now have to quarantine in hotels for ten days. non—uk—residents coming from countries on the list are already barred. in scotland, the rule applies to travellers returning from all international destinations. theo leggett reports. arriving at the airport and taken away to a hotel under escort, these passengers at heathrow were among the first to be bused away to take part in the government's new quarantine scheme. they'll spend the next ten days in isolation, in carefully sanitised rooms like these, with security guards on hand to make sure they don't leave. so far, the government's done deals with 16 hotels. it hasjust under 5000 rooms available, with another 58,000 that can be used if necessary. the scottish government has done deals with six hotels and has up to 1300 rooms available. room service. hotel companies say they're doing all they can to make enforced quarantine as bearable as possible. we will be calling every guest every day to check if there is anything we can do for them, any concerns they may have. but in addition, there is also a welfare call provided by government to check on their mental health and well—being, and they'll be dealing with professionals. so, there are two or three calls a day to check on people and see that they're ok. the government insists these measures are necessary to prevent potentially dangerous new variants of covid—19 getting a foothold in the uk. but hotel quarantine won'tjust be uncomfortable, it's also costly. an adult will have to pay £1750 for a room, although children will be charged less. peter sweeney's wife went to brazil to visit her sick father. now, he says, she's struggling to get back home. she would have been back earlier but unfortunately, the flights were cancelled due to the travel bans and then we rebooked a few times again, and again cancelled, and now we're in this situation, through no real fault of our own. the bottom line is we don't have those funds just sitting around just to go and pay, because it's quite a lot of money. but for these passengers travelling from johannesburg last night, quarantine was just something else they had to endure. i've been isolated in my house for two weeks so i'm used to it. we haven't left our flat for two weeks. i think, all in all, _ it might be a bit expensive, but i guess i understand the reason behind it. . just trying to save lives. i think it's necessary, given all the strains, but i think the downfall is the implementation and the clear guidelines as to what is allowed, who is allowed. meanwhile, the travel industry, already in crisis, is warning that measures like these can't stay in place for very long. we know it's really important that they have measures in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus and the introduction of new variants, and certainly this system couldn't be in place when more people start to travel. there are still concerns about how the new measures will work and whether immigration services have all the resources they need. but for the moment, hotel quarantine is a fact of life, an unprecedented measure for unprecedented times. theo leggett, bbc news. our correspondent frankie mccamley is at heathrow now. what are people arriving there saying about these latest rules

as they have been arriving, - people as they have been arriving, some understand what is happening and say this is just part of life now, but others have complained. they have complained about the cost of the hotels they are going into, they've also said they don't see the point of this extra restrictions when people flying into the uk from countries on the red zone, on the bed rest, i mixing with people who are flying in from other countries then heading into quarantine after that. —— the red list. we have seen a very small number of people arriving here into heathrow today. heathrow say it has been a successful day, they have kept queues to a minimum. people have not queued for more than hour. people from countries on the red list have been separated and put into queues as they headed through border control. they are going into baggage claim areas where they are kept separate and then put onto buses as they head to these hotels. there have been complaints about the costs. right now people have to pay £1750 to go to one of the 16 government approved hotels. and stay there for ten days in quarantine. if people fail to comply with these new rules, they could face fines of up to £10,000 and if they are caught lying on any forms, claiming which country they have come from, they could face up to ten years in prison. things are running very smoothly today, but the airport unions are concerned, when my passengers arrived here and he is distracted built, passengers could end up mixing and that could mean the safety of staff and passengers could be put at risk —— more queues struck to build here. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. after the sub—zero conditions of last week, this week, we're seeing temperatures above normal for the time of year, a much milder week for all. not much frost around, maybe a little in northern scotland, but with the milder weather comes rain at times and a risk of flooding as we couple that rain with snow melts. temperatures certainly adding to that snow melt today, 7—12 celsius into the evening. most places dry after little bit of afternoon sunshine but into tonight, outbreaks of rain developing across the country from the west, heavy bursts too, and the winds starting to strengthen. but temperatures not dropping way much, these are the night—time, 5 to 10 degrees, warmer than by day for some tomorrow morning. tomorrow, rain through the morning, especially east anglia, the south east and the channel islands, eventually easing. early showers clearing to sunshine for a time and then another batch of showers get going, some could be heavy and thundery. strong to gale—force winds in western scotland and another mild day across the board. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines: we
