Good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. Teachers will decide grades for this years gcses, a levels and written vocational qualifications in england, after the exams were cancelled, because of the coronavirus pandemic. The education secretary Gavin Williamson has confirmed that unlike last year, no algorithms will be used to calculate pupils� grades. Exam boards will check random samples, and students will receive their results earlier than usual, to allow extra time to log any appeals. Heres our education correspondent, danjohnson. They are heading back to lessons, knowing their final result will come from teachers awarding grades they think pupils deserve. Coursework, essays and mock results will be considered and there may be some Classroom Tests using previous questions to help teachers make theirjudgment. Philip is reaching theirjudgment.

Last years calculated grades brought students to the streets in protest, which prompted officials to admit that theyd got the maths wrong, putting some University Places in doubt.

Vocational subjects will be awarded in the same way, though some students may need to sit exams for professional qualification. The bit that went wrong last year was the algorithm, that the calculation that was done to make sure results are consistent across schools and roughly in line with previous years. We wont see a repeat of the unfair downgrade that delivered for some students, but without any standardisation, it will be tougher to compare results, because it will be harder to say whether one teacher has been more generous than another.

European leaders are meeting to work out how to speed up the roll out of vaccines across the continent. In some parts of the eu, Vaccination Rates are one fifth of the rate here, and some countries are now reporting a reluctance to take the astrazeneca vaccine, after countries, including france and germany, made the decision not to use it on older patients. Heres our europe correspondentJean Mackenzie. None of the queues they planned for. Inside, chairs sit empty. Belgiums largest Vaccination Centre finally opened last week, but theres barely a person in sight. They have the capacity to vaccinate 5,000 people a day, but today they say they have only done 200, and in the hour that weve been here, weve seen just one person arrive for their vaccination. No, it is a pity that there are not many people. This afternoon it is very quiet, because there are not enough vaccines at this moment in time. It is quite shocking to arrive and see such a huge Vaccination Centre, and to see it totally empty. Is that not disappointing for you . Yes, of course it is, but what do you want me to say . Of course its disappointing, but i cannot do anything about it. Countries are struggling with a shortage of vaccines. Companies failed to deliver as many doses as expected. After a very public falling out between the eu and astrazeneca, the british manufacturer says it should be able to provide 180 million doses from april. But in countries across europe, some people have started to refuse the astrazeneca shot. I get maybe four, five, six e mails every day, of nurses, even medical doctors, | saying they dont want the astrazeneca vaccine, they refuse, and they want to wait for a better vaccine, i which is a bit strange, because thats not really based on solid evidence, or science. Its really based On Perception and rumours. Mixed messages by governments are partly to blame, with several countries, including france and germany, deciding not to use the vaccine on older people yet. Heres frances health minister, getting his astrazeneca vaccine live on television, in an attempt to drum up support. While in germany, Hundreds Of Thousands of vials are sitting unused. We have more astrazeneca now than appointments. Are people not turning up for their appointments, then . It happens, yeah. When we have 1,000 appointments, then maybe 50 people say, no, we dont want to have this vaccination, we dont want to have astrazeneca. Data from scotland this week shows the astrazeneca jab is helping to prevent nearly all hospitalisations. What we want the vaccine to do is keep people out of the hospital, keep them out of intensive care, keep them from dying, and as far as i have seen, all vaccines that are on the market for the moment can do that. But if vaccines are to find their way into enough arms, countries must now ramp up their production. These palm trees may offer a taste of the summer to come, but at current rates, perhaps not. And we can speak to Jean Mackenzie now. She is in brussels for us. Given everything you have described, jean, what can this meeting of eu leaders really achieve . Really achieve . Well, i think they will be really really achieve . Well, i think they will be really trying really achieve . Well, i think they will be really trying to really achieve . Well, i think they will be really trying to work really achieve . Well, i think they will be really trying to work out i will be really trying to work out where they have gone wrong, and how on earth they can speed this process up. I think all of them would agree that this has been a less than ideal start. If you look at the numbers, around just 6 of people in the European Union have now had the first dose of the jab here, although it does vary considerably between the different countries. Now, yes, there has been a shortage of vaccines, partly because of mistakes that were made earlier on in this process, but we are seeing some countries who are unable to shift the stocks that they do actually have. This is in part down to the decision that many countries made here not to give the astrazeneca vaccine to older people, not because they dont believe it is not safe, but because they didnt think there was enough evidence yet on how it worked in older people. But this has undoubtedly led to confusion, with people now questioning the efficacy of the vaccine, asking themselves, is this an inferior vaccine, is this a vaccine that they want to have . And we know that it is a particular problem in germany, where we have heard that some people are now missing their appointments in order not to have this vaccine, and where there are now more than a million of these doses sitting unused. Now, medical experts hope that the more data that we get on how this works on older people, the more peoples confidence will begin to grow but governments will have to work pretty hard and pretty fast too undo some of this damage that has a ready been donein of this damage that has a ready been done in peoples mines here. Jean done in peoples mines here. Jean mackenzie. Done in peoples mines here. Jean mackenzie, thank done in peoples mines here. Jean mackenzie, thank you. Theres more evidence that shows the Pfizer Biontech vaccine is producing a good Antibody Response in all age groups, particularly among people whove already been infected with covid 19. But there are also fears that some of the communities that could benefit from vaccines the most are those where Vaccine Hesitancy is greatest. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes has the details. As the Vaccination Programme accelerates past 18 million, further evidence that vaccines are producing antibodies to fight covid 19. The react 2 study looked for the presence of Covid Antibodies in more than 155,000 people in england. Antibodies were found in nearly 14 of volunteers overall, either as a result of infection, or, for more than 17,000 participants, as a result of vaccination, with results especially encouraging among those whod already had covid. Having had covid previously increased the Antibody Response in all age groups, so that with a single dose of the vaccine, plus having been primed, as it were, by having previous infection, gave a very, very good Antibody Response. But of course the best response overall was where people had two doses of the vaccine. Are you ready . Just relax your arm. The survey has highlighted concerns around levels of Vaccine Hesitancy, especially in black and asian communities, but these are the same communities that are more at risk of falling seriously ill with covid 19, so theres a real worry that those who need it most might miss out on the Vaccination Programme. So, having Vaccination Programmes that are run out of mosques, synagogues, temples they are places of safety, places where you recognise and feel like that is something that is where you would go to for comfort, and so knowing that Vaccination Programmes are run by that, and the Community Leaders are part of that, thats really important, and this is going to be particularly important as we go in to ramadan, because ramadan is starting soon. The main goal of the vaccine is to make sure you dont get a bad case of covid. With nearly 3 million followers on tiktok, doctors like karan raj are also trying to get in touch with hard to reach communities, providing reassurance that vaccines are safe and effective. But the fear is that just as the virus has exposed deep inequalities in our health, some may miss out on the promise of a vaccine led recovery. Dominic hughes, bbc news. The former chancellor, philip hammond, has told the bbc that Boris Johnson must tell the british people some home truths about the state of the economy. Lord hammond said he fears the government will put popularity ahead of doing the right thing because, he says, giving money away is always easier than collecting it. After 2010 we always knew we were going to go through a period of intense and popularity as we implemented the measures that needed to be taken. Im not really sure the top members of the current government have the appetite to be unpopular in order to do the right thing. Hes going to have to tell the british people some difficult home truths. Lets talk to helen catt. This big scale borrowing and spending isnt a traditional conservative way of managing the economy but why its been necessarily doesnt mean it sits comfortably with a lot of conservatives who are keen to see that there is a plan to at some point slow spending and start to pay it back. There is no sense that that should start next wednesday, and in fact what we are expecting as the chancellor to in some senses keep running up the bill next week. We are expecting he is likely to extend some of the emergency measures. It is understood he is looking at things Like Corporation tax and perhaps the possibility of a windfall tax on companies who have actually done well during the pandemic, like supermarkets. Labour say this is not the time for tax rises. A treasury spokesman said the chancellor would be honest with the british people next week about how were going to recover from this crisis and on that point about popularity popularity the prime ministers press secretary Allegra Stratton has said she didnt recognise that picture and that the pandemic is shown this was a pm who was prepared to take difficult decisions and was weighing up hard choices at the moment. Choices at the moment. Thank you, helen catt our top story this lunchtime. Teachers will decide gcse and a level grades in england this summer, to avoid a repeat of last yea r� s exams chaos. The number of people sleeping rough last year fell experts say its because of specific efforts made during the pandemic. Coming up on bbc news a calamitous start to englands second innings, losing two wickets in the opening three balls. Can they hold out against india after staging an impressive fightback on day two of the third test in ahmedabad . Bbc news reported last week on the plight of Princess Latifa, who said she was being held captive by herfather, the ruler of dubai. Now, we can reveal another development in the case this time raising questions for britain. It centres around allegations that latifas sister, shamsa, was also abducted by their father, while she was living in the uk, and that an investigation by Cambridgeshire Police was closed, due to insufficient evidence. Nawal al maghafi reports. Sheikh Mohammed Rashid al maktoum. The Billionaire Ruler of dubai, and one of the most powerful men in the middle east. Last week, the bbc released secret recordings of his daughter, Princess Latifa. In them, she claims he is responsible for her abduction and imprisonment. The messages sparked international concerns. But latifa is not the only daughter of Sheikh Mohammed to try to escape. 20 years ago, her sister shamsa ran away from the Family Estate in surrey. In 2000, my sister shamsa, while she was on holiday in england, she was 18 years old, going on 19, she ran away. So, yeah, after two months, they found her. The police launched an investigation, but it hit a dead end. Now the bbc has obtained an Exclusive Letter written by Princess Latifa from her captivity. In it, a plea to reopen her sisters case. The letter, delivered by her friends yesterday to Cambridgeshire Police, says shamsa has strong links with england. Herfondest memories are of her time here. Your help and attention could free her. Weve pieced together shamsas extraordinary story. She was a passionate horse rider and Loved Spending summers at her fathers estate in the surrey countryside. Shamsa was cheeky, liked to push all the boundaries, and she wasnt what you would call a princess, you know . She was full of life and adventure. She dreamt of going to university, but says that her father wouldnt allow it. So in the summer of the year 2000, she drove a black range rover to the edge of the estate and she ran away. After shamsa escaped her fathers estate in longcross, she lived as a free woman for around two months. She then checked into this hotel in cambridge. Suddenly, herfather� s operatives arrived and she was captured. By sam the next morning, she was on a helicopter to northern france, where she was transferred to a private jet that took her to dubai. On her enforced return to dubai, shamsa was kept locked up for the next eight years. She was then released from confinement, but her life remained heavily controlled. We spoke to someone who had regular contact with her after she was released. She was tranquilized all the time. Everything she did was controlled. There was no sparki in shamsa any more. There was no fight in her. And i understand that people cant get their head around it. Theyjust see some rich girl. Its not like that at all. Its horrific. The uae government maintain that shamsa and latifa are cherished and adored by their family. They� re yet to prove that they are still alive and well. Nawal al maghafi, bbc news. The Supermarket Chain asda says it has begun consulting with staff about a major restructuring of the business, as it tries to expand its online offering. Lets get more from our correspondence sarah corker. What does this mean forjobs, sarah . Around 3000 back office roles are now at risk as part of this consultation, especially those in cash and admin positions, and thats because theres been a big fall in the number of cash transactions during the pandemic is more of a shop online. And in fact asda has said the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the shift towards Online Grocery shopping by nearly ten years. So this restructuring is really a response to that. What they are saying is this is a permanent shift in Consumer Behaviour and this is a major restructuring. Theyve also said they plan to close two sites in kent and london. That will affect around 800 jobs. Its not all bad news. Asda have said they also plan to create a500 new positions as they expand their online operation. So they will be roles like Order Pickers and Delivery Drivers and the company says that it hopes that those in those at at Risk Positions can move into these new roles and actually since march the companys online capacity has actually increased by 90 , so i think that really shows the Direction Of Travel here and asdas Chief Executive has said what this has shown is over the last 12 months that Companies Really need to adapt very quickly. Sarah corker, thank need to adapt very quickly. Sarah corker, thank you. The number of people sleeping rough last year fell by nearly a0 in england, but experts say the sharp reduction is likely to be because of Government Measures to tackle covid 19, which included providing accommodation in closed hotels.

Zookeepers have compiled the Worlds Largest collection of thermal images of elephants, which show the animals as they play, eat, and hang out, in their enclosure at zsl whipsnade zoo. The 30,000 photographs are part of a Conservation Project to help save the lives of both endangered elephants and humans. Helen briggs reports. Elephants posing for photos at whipsnade zoo. But they look very different through a thermal camera. 30,000 selfies that are notjust incredible to look at, but a vital conservation tool. It is truly an elephantcam. Its made by elephants themselves. Theyve taken the photo with us, and it now works. It detects elephants confidently at a certain distance. And we want to get this into the field now, and actually put it in the wild, helping Wild Elephants and communities live side by side. The images are being used to train a camera to recognise the shape of an elephant from its body heat. Itll be able to identify when an elephant� s close by, even in the dark, and send an alert. Humans and elephants are being forced into ever closer contact, such as here assam, india. Clashes can end in trashed crops, damaged property and the loss of lives.
