Lucky to be alive golfing superstar tiger woods survives a car crash but is this the end of a brilliant career . And coming up on bbc news england struggle with the bat against india all out for 112 on the first day of the third test, with the home side firmly in control. Good evening and welcome to Bbc News At Six. When children in england return to the classroom the week after next, many of them will have missed nearly half a school year because of covid lockdowns. Today the government has announced an extra £400 million on top of 300 million announced last month for whats being described as a catch up programme. Out of that, £302 million will be for primary and Secondary Schools to spend on their most disadvantaged pupils. Another £200 million is for expanded tutoring programmes. And a further £200 million will be set aside for extra face to face Summer Schools for some secondary pupils. Teaching unions and heads have described the extra cash as a good start, but say there needs to be a longer term strategy. 0ur Education Editor Branwenjeffreys has been to two schools in the west midlands.

Todays money adds up to £22,000 for a Secondary School like this, a bit less then are starting teachers salary for one year. To put it into context the budget for the school for a year is more than £6 million. Still, here they see it is extra for their Summer School for new pupils.

Every adult who is on their Gp Learning Disability Register will now be moved up the queue for a coronavirus vaccine. Previously, only those with severe Learning Disabilities, or in care homes, were given priority. The change follows a campaign by the dj jo whiley, on behalf of her sister frances, who has a Learning Disability. With more, heres our Health Correspondent sophie hutchinson.

Today Government Advisers on the Joint Committee On Vaccination And Immunisation said everyone on a Gp Learning Disability Register should get the vaccine, increasing the number of those eligible by around 150,000 people. The change follows a high Profile Campaign by the dg jo wiley after she was offered the vaccine ahead of her sister frances who has a Learning Disability and who has a Learning Disability and who was hospitalised with covid 19 last week and is now recovering. This is a great day. I am so relieved im so happy for all those people who have been living in fear. I am grateful to the government for listening because it is a very complicated situation and it is difficult to categorise people according to their disabilities.

But Charities Say that is just a fraction of those with Learning Disabilities and that everyone including those with a mild condition should now get the jab. People are dying at six times the rate of the general population and for younger groups that rises to factors of the people in their 20s and 30s they are 30 times more likely to die.

Ghana has become the first country in the world to get a shipment of covid jabs from the global vaccine sharing scheme covax. 600,000 doses of the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine have been delivered to the capital accra with the first recipients due to be healthcare workers. The Covax Scheme Which is planning to deliver two billion vaccine doses by the end of the year aims to reduce the divide between rich countries and poorer nations unable to buy doses. With more than 18 Million People getting the covid jab so far, the uks Vaccination Programme is amongst the most successful in the world. But there is one disturbing gap the difficulty in reaching some of the most Vulnerable People in deprived and ethnic minority communties. 0ur Health Editor has been to east london where some boroughs have the lowest takeup of the vaccine. A Vaccination Hub in the east london borough of newham. The area has one of the lowest proportions of its population in england for take up of the vaccine. So, hows it going today . 0ne local gp, dr farzana hussain, with local colleagues, is heading a drive to get to those in priority groups who havent had the jab, including personal phone calls to patients. Newhams population is more than 70 bame, over 200 languages spoken. And dr hussain explains the challenges getting the message across. The fact that we have got many, many communities, it is making the issue a bit more complex. I think people have a few more questions and a few more fears. Overall, i think theres just been a real fear. You know, its been rolled out very quickly, how can this be a safe vaccine . But it isnt so much that people are resistant. I think theyre just more fearful. So, the side effects of this vaccine is very similar to the flu vaccine. Louisa had a few concerns when she came in, but was pleased to have her vaccination. I was a bit scared because of the information that we have had on social media and everything. So, i was a bit scared. But it wasnt like that at all. Venu had also heard negative stories about side effects, but that didnt stop him. I did step forward. And ifeel good now, satisfied that i came for it. Research by the Royal College of gps said that while nearly 15 of white people have been vaccinated in england by early february, it was 9 of asian and just below 7 among black communities. Experts say there are many factors involved, and there is an urgent need to reach out to those who havent come forward. Property, financial exclusion, but lets not also forget that some communities will have faced racism in the past. We need to build their confidence back, that actually the Health Services are there and they have their back. Right now, we need to focus on getting innovative ways to get the vaccine at the doorsteps. The potential concern is that, in some communities, people will be left behind as the Vaccination Programme moves on, so they will be vulnerable to any further spread of the virus. Hugh pym, bbc news. Now lets take a look at the latest official figures. There were 9,938 new infections recorded in the latest 24 hour period. It means an average of 10,485 new cases were recorded per day in the last week. Across the uk an average of 16,803 people were in hospital with coronavirus over the seven days to sunday including suspected cases in wales. In the last 24 hours, 442 deaths have been recorded thats people who died within 28 days of a positive covid test. On average, 402 deaths were announced every day in the past week. The total number of people whove died is 121,747. Now onto the Vaccination Programme. More than 326,000 people had their first dose of a vaccine in the latest 24 hour period. This means more than 18 Million People have now had their first vaccination. 0ur Health Editor hugh pym joins me now.

Pfizers European Plant where they manufacture the vaccine, they were upgrading it and it was going to cause a little bit of disruption. 0ne Health Official today said it may take a few months today said it may take a few months to actually get to a really steady routine for production. Matt hancock has talked about lumpiness and supply. He says there will be stronger numbers from next week and that targets which have been set out, for example vaccinating all the over 50s by the middle of april, is still on track. Yes, broadly speaking it is going well. The Deputy Chief Medical Officer for england has acknowledged that. But a cautionary note to families over the next few weeks, she said, as lockdown was slowly being eased it still would not be a good idea for children to go and hug their grandparents. Children to go and hug their arandarents. ,. Alex salmond versus Nicola Sturgeon. Its a bitter row between two of the most influential figures in the Scottish National party and its threatening the very foundations of the countrys democracy. Thats the view of Ruth Davidson the leader of the conservatives in the holyrood parliament. At the heart of the conflict is an argument over how the Scottish Government under ms sturgeon handled Sexual Assault complaints against mr salmond. 0ur Scotland Editor sarah smith takes up the story. Alex sammons will soon have his say in public in front of the holyrood inquiry. He will claim there was an orchestrated plot to destroy his reputation and land him injail and allege conspiracy as well as cover up in government. His political opponents agree this is now about much more than complaints of Sexual Harassment made against him. I think weve got to the stage where this is now beyond sturgeon versus salmond, beyond the women versus the system that let them down, this is now about the structure of the scottish institutions, the parliament and scottish democracy. This is the biggest crisis in our government since devolution began. And holyrood, which is looking at governments handling of Sexual Harassment allegations against mr salmond has complained its been obstructed in its investigations and Opposition Parties think they can sense a conspiracy. Allegations of wrongdoing and a cover up at the heart of government are serious and they could be damaging. With politicians on all sides saying theyre worried about whether the Scottish Parliament can actually hold the government to account and whether this undermines confidence in the very structures of democracy in scotland. The Scottish Parliament wants to see key documents the government is refusing to publish. And today called the senior law officer to explain why some of Alex Salmonds Written Evidence has been removed from public view. He totally denies any political interference. The crown has, as i said, a moment ago, no interest in interfering with or limiting the conduct of proceedings in this parliament. The bitter feud between these two former friends has seen Nicola Sturgeon accused of lying as well as accusations that are government is interfering with the holyrood inquiry. Any suggestion at all that these decisions are in any way politically influenced are downright wrong, but i would suggest and go further than that and say that they actually start to buy into what is a false and quite dangerous Conspiracy Theory that has no basis in fact. Nicola sturgeon is scheduled to appear in front of the Salmond Inquiry next week, but she says she will relish the opportunity to speaker refer to the baseless allegations. A government spokesman told me that he thinks that they are just playing politics. 0ne he thinks that they are just playing politics. One thing is for sure, this row is getting bigger and nastier, there arejust this row is getting bigger and nastier, there are just weeks until the scottish elections. The time is 6 17. Our top story this evening. Extra funding for schools in england to provide extra tutition and catch up schooling for those that need it. 0h, hes gone oh dear england wickets tumble in the second test against india. Coming up on sportsday on bbc news, crisis for celtic. Their manager apologised for letting fans down after more dropped points. Now, with a tenth title unlikely, neil lennon has stepped down. There are questions tonight over whether well ever see one of golf� s all time greats, tigerwoods, playing competitively again. It follows a serious car crash in los angeles last night. Police at the scene said the fifteen time winner of major tournaments was lucky to be alive. Tiger woods has made some dramatic comebacks before can he do it again . 0ur la correspondent sophie long is outside the hospital where hes being treated. Well, tiger woods has undergone hours of Emergency Surgery here, during which i wrote was inserted into his lower right leg, and pens and screws into his foot. We are told he has woken up and is responsive and recovering. While his injuries no longer appear to be life threatening, they could be career threatening, and as the investigation continues, the world of golf is left wondering if its most legendary player will ever swing a club again. This is what remains of the luxury suv tiger woods was driving. It is, authorities say, remarkable he survived. Is anyone trapped in the vehicle or is the vehicle on fire . No. He was travelling at speed when it hit the central reservation, flipped, struck a tree and rolled multiple times before coming to rest here. I asked him what his name was. He told me his name was tiger. At that moment, i immediately recognised him. It seemed as though he was lucid and calm. I will say that it is very fortunate that mr woods was able to come out of this alive. The Golfing Legend was pulled from the wreckage conscious, but with severe leg injuries. This, the latest dramatic turn in one of the most compelling stories in professional golf. Hows that for a finish . In a remarkable career, he transcended sport to become a global icon. Tiger woods made golf cool, and hes definitely a reason why most of us are professional golfers now. But there have been greater personal lows. A high profile marriage breakdown, long struggles with injury. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to Reckless Driving after being found Asleep At The Wheel of his car. But it made his victory at the masters in 2019 all the more miraculous. One of the greatest Sporting Comebacks ever. But the challenge he faces now could be the greatest yet. To go 11 years between winning majors is pretty rare, very off the charts. But to go through what he went through, the physical struggles, four surgeries by that time to rebuild his golf game, obviously the live struggles as well, to maintain your nerve to come back. As we know by now, he has extraordinary mind strength. Among the millions of well wishers, former us president barack 0bama sent prayers to tiger woods and his family. He said, if weve learned anything over the years, its never to count tiger out. Tennis star Serena Williams said, love you, big brother, we will get through this. After a long Emergency Surgery, he is now said to be responsive and recovering. Tiger woods has proved anything is possible. But to a man so used to winning, simply playing golf again could be his biggest victory yet. Sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. A Charity Working with victims of Domestic Abuse says calls to their 24 hour helpline have increased by more than 50 in the year of the pandemic.

Its a lovely, lovely home. A place in a refuge, starting now. Youre welcome. Take care. See you later, goodbye. How did she sound when you told her there was a place . Yeah, she said, thank you very much, i really appreciate it. I just need to get out of here. Itll be a weight off her shoulders, for sure . Absolutely. As lockdown pushes Domestic Abuse still further into the shadows, were all being urged to look out for those who may be in danger. They actually sat down and ended up writing Down Everything that had happened that could make some understanding of it. And what sort of things were you saying . Things like. Raping me. Erm. Strangling me. Threatening to hit me all the time. People will want to know are you going to be ok . Yeah. Because theres no chaos any more. And i can see happier times.

Cricket and england have had a disastrous first day with the bat in the third test against india. They slumped from 74 for two to 112 all out in the day night game in ahmedabad. At the close of play india were 99 for three. Heresjoe wilson. In the heart of gujarat, the biggest Cricket Ground in the world. Capacity, for context, about four lords. The ball� s the same size, just pink. This match is arranged for lights. Dom sibley had barely switched on and he was gone. Out for nought to ishant sharma, in his 100th test slow bowlers did the rest, rapidly. Bairstow, lbw for none. Someone scored runs. Zach crawley, recalled to the side. Sure, batting wasnt easy. But look. A50. Joe root, gone forjust 17. And just a sense that indias captain was pleased. Now crawley. Gulp. Watch for the umpires finger. Another lbw. Axar patel was exceedingly accurate. Often that was enough. He took six wickets. In the middle of this great stadium, 112 all out seemed dreadfully small. The lights came on, and mainly stayed on. The crowd was reduced due to covid, but still big. Still close. Now rohit sharma was soon thriving. Ben foakes with a lightning stumping. The tv umpire decided his foot was grounded here. England wondered why he made the decision so quickly. At times, the evening got heated. Butjack leach kept england in it. Kohli gone. India three down, only 13 behind. And as englands sole spin bowler, well, its you versus india. All right, jack . Joe wilson, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather heres chris fawkes. Well, weve had some extreme heat across parts of england and, more generally, the north west of europe. The deeper reds on the chart telling you the more unusual the heat has beenin you the more unusual the heat has been in these places. Across scotland it has been mild. The air has been coming off the atlantic. For england it has been coming from north africa and spain, bringing some incredible heat for the time of year. Indeed in suffolk, temperatures reached 18 celsius, about 10 degrees above average. We would normally see temperatures around 18 degrees in late may or earlyjune. So this really is freakishly warm. 0vernight, we do have a cold current moving in. This band of rain will be moving eastwards, while easing. Some patchy rain as it moves across much of england. Quite mild, 10 degrees or so. Fresherairto england. Quite mild, 10 degrees or so. Fresher air to the north and west of the uk. Temperature is around 5 degrees in glasgow, with some showers. Tomorrow, we start with cloud and a bit of rain. Not amounting to two much across east anglia in south east england. For many as it is going to be a bright day with some sunshine. There will be showers for scotland and Northern Ireland. We will probably see some of them working into the irish sea, so we could pick up one or two michael owen wales and north west england. Mild what everyone again, just not quite as toasty. Top temperatures or 12 degrees pretty widely. As an area of low pressure builds, it settles the weather down. Not that much day to day changes from friday into the weekend, with most having dry weather with some sunshine. Some morning mist and fog patches and temperatures ten or 12 degrees celsius. Little changing as we head into the weekend. More dry weather, more sunny spells, temperatures again above average. London should be about nine at this time of the air, so 12 is three degrees above average. More of that weather into next week as well. Thats all from the Bbc News At Six , so its goodbye from me , hello and welcome to sportsday im jane dougall. Awake and responsive but will tiger woods make a full recovery after surgery on serious leg injuries sustained ina carcrash . He said hed never turn his back on the club, but neil lennon has resigned from celtic after the club dropped more points. He can only watch as rivals rangers run away with the title. And, ahmed abad day for england, all out for 112 and theyve not done that well with the ball either
