"the queen won't watch the harry and meghan circus" is the sunday times headline. the paper attributes the word circus to senior royal aides, who certainly will be watching the interview, and not the queen herself. the mail on sunday quotes a senior royal aide saying "most people in britain will be thinking about schools going back, having theirjab, and prince philip getting better", rather than harry and meghan's interview. the paper goes on to somewhat undermine that claim by promising 11 pages of special coverage. laughter. the sunday telegraph does feature the duke and duchess on its front page, but its main story is about lord david frost, who negotiated the brexit trade deal, saying brussels must shake off any lasting ill will towards the uk for its decision to leave the european union. "stop sulking" is the headline phrase. and the observer swerves the royal interview altogether and focuses instead on what it calls a public backlash against the government's decision to award a 1% pay rise to most nhs workers in england. are you desperate for a proper pint? yes, deftly. a proper pulled pint in a pub. it yes, deftly. a proper pulled pint in a ub. , ., yes, deftly. a proper

holly archer. she thought she won silver in the 1,500 metres, only to be disqualified forjostling, and then reinstated after an appeal. it's was a far less complicated affair forjodie williams. she produced a personal best in the 400 metres to claim bronze. it's her first individual medal since 2014. eye came here to do that. so i'm just really glad that i've proved to myself that i can go on podiums again. this chance was really about overcoming those mental barriers. last time i was here eye came forth. so i had to come home with something. there was disappointment for holly bradshaw though. a previous gold and silver medallist she was favourite to win the pole vault, but produced her worst performance of the year and had to settle for bronze. england's lee westwood lead the field

europe editor, katya adler, explores how the austrian ski resort, ischgl, became an early epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic, and asks what lessons can be learnt. ischgl has long been known as the ibiza of the alps. but this time last year, the austrian ski resort became famous for something else. you always think the worst, especially when you get a positive result for covid. i even got people last day coming in, like coughing and spluttering and, like, saying... coughing sound .."covid. " the authorities were slow to lockdown, with disastrous results. there was a whiff of the old jaws film and the mayor standing up in front of the tv cameras saying, "there's no shark here." ischgl became known as europe's covid ground zero. more than 6,000 people believe they were infected here in a matter of days. tourists returning home exported the virus around the world. now, the families of those affected are demanding justice. their allegation, that local authorities put wealth over health, keeping peak ski season going, even as the virus spread. one year on, what lessons can be learned from the unhappy story of ischgl? we need to be expecting all kinds of different viruses. this is going to happen again, i can assure you. is carefree mass tourism as we know it in europe a thing of the past? the ski season in ischgl in early 2020 seemed pretty much perfect. haraldur was one of the thousands enjoying the slopes. we actually had a really good week. ischgl is one of the best ski resorts in europe. it has good variety of slopes and good restaurants. afterskiing, he and his friends grabbed a beer at the kitzloch — one of ischgl�*s famous apres ski bars. singing hundreds of people just having fun, drinking and singing. there were a lot of different people from all over the world coming to ischgl. here in the kitzloch especially, a lot of danish, norwegian. of course a lot of german people are coming, also a lot from the united kingdom. but last february, ski hire workers spotted something strange. what we started to notice was that more and more customers who were bringing their skis back into the ski hire shop mid—week, returning them early. it was more of a case of, well, this is weird, this is not normal, why is this? then you think well, my god, this is a pretty rough flu season now. come and check this out with me today, it's beautiful. but it wasn't the flu, it was covid. the virus had already been detected in the italian alps and elsewhere in austria. and it was now in ischgl. at that time, there was no coronavirus testing in the resort. for weeks, the authorities had closed their eyes to the spread of the virus. gunther zangerl is a leading local businessmen. he owns ischgl�*s cable car company. haraldur�*s friend arnie was one of those who became unwell in late february. he started feeling ill on wednesday. he thought he had the flu. we were not associating his illness with covid. on their return to iceland, both haraldur and arnie tested positive. i was not feeling ill or anything, so it was quite a shock because the news from italy wasn't great. a lot of people dying there, so you always think the worst, especially when...you get a positive result from covid. in reykjavik, the test results landed on the desk of iceland's chief epidemiologist. for weeks, he'd been watching the spread of coronavirus from china, and now he knew he needed to act fast. i was excited, actually, because we had been preparing for this for many, many years. dr gudnason began to spot a pattern. the majority of iceland's positive cases had been on holiday in ischgl. austria appeared to have a much bigger covid problem than it realised. it was kind of strange to me at the time, that officially they were only a few cases reported from austria, the whole country, so something really didn't...didn't match, actually. doctor gudnason raised the alarm. he reported the covid cases to the european union and sent a direct message to his austrian counterparts. iceland's government then put ischgl in the same travel category as wuhan. it's what happens next that's still so hotly contested. the regional government in austria's tyrol province now faced a major crisis which would end up costing both lives and money. for years, they'd marketed ischgl as a good time ski resort. many local businesses rely on the ski season for their annual income. covid threatened all that. rather than lock ischgl down, the authorities issued a press release saying the icelandic tourists had probably caught covid on the plane home. i mean, that'sjust total nonsense. my friend was already sick while we were in ischgl, and there is no way that all of us got infected on the flight because we were not all travelling together. an e—mail sent at the time showed that local tyrol politicians hoped the plane theory would be enough to get ischgl "out of the firing line", as they wrote. the recipient of the e—mail subsequently leaked, but not denied, was herbert forster. so, ischgl wasn't shut down, and no warnings were issued to skiers. saturday the 7th of march was changeover day. thousands of tourists were going home, thousands more arriving. perfect conditions for a highly contagious virus to spread. british couple david mills and christine harris were amongst the new arrivals. the place was great, it was buzzing, it was like benidorm on steroids. when we got there we thought, whoa, this was so busy, wasn't it? yeah. it was absolutely jam—packed. all of the bars were on, like, a strip, and we went to several of them. one of them was kitzloch. you couldn't get a drink. you couldn't get a drink, we walked right round the bar. that evening, the manager of the kitzloch bar, bernhard zangerl, got a phone call. hours before, one of his staff had had a covid test after feeling ill. i was not watching on the phone and in the evening at about nine or ten o'clock, i had about maybe ten phone calls on my phone and i was thinking, ok, what is going on? the test was positive. it meant the authorities could no longer put off taking action. yeah, of course it was a shock, we were sitting after this information with my colleagues at the bar, and we were yes, talking about the topic and everybody was kind of shocked. the kitzloch bar closed, but only for 24 hours. they were told they could reopen once they'd disinfected the venue and changed over the staff. meanwhile, all the other bars in ischgl stayed open. the regional government put out another press release, stating the virus was unlikely to spread in bars. their actions had fatal consequences. dorte sittig's partner rudi had gone on holiday to ischgl from germany in march. in the days after he returned home, rudi began to feel ill. rudi thought he had picked up the flu. but it was covid. he was taken to hospital where his condition deteriorated. dorte was by rudi's side when his life support was turned off. now dorte wants justice. she's joined a class action lawsuit on behalf of those who believe they got covid in ischgl, and the relatives of those who died. that's what peter kolba believes. he's a consumer rights lawyer leading efforts to hold the austrian government to account for what happened last year in ischgl and, he says, to try to prevent anything like this from happening again. it's one of many cases being brought against governments worldwide for the way they've handled the pandemic. had the authorities closed a week earlier, after the icelandic tourists fell ill, thousands of people who arrived afterwards might have avoided infection. take nigel mallander. i did actually check the foreign office travel advice before going. the foreign office said, you know, it's ok to travel, so i thought, "well, why not? i'll go and spend a few days skiing". the bars in ischgl were still wide open for business. it was chock—a—block full of people. there was no indication at all that there was any problem in the town, as far as coronavirus was concerned. it was just business as usual. on friday the 13th of march, eight days after the alarm had been raised by iceland, austria's chancellor sebastian kurz suddenly decided to bypass the local authorities in tyrol and take action himself. he announced that tourists had just one hour to leave ischgl. anyone left in the resort would be put in quarantine. what followed was utter chaos. i got a phone call about 2:00 in the afternoon from the young lady at my hotel, and she said, "you must get back here. you must leave the valley. the valley is being put into quarantine so you must get back here and leave." and i thought, "well, that's novel!" i was walking back towards the shop and a friend of mine came screeching up in his car. it was like a die hard, bruce willis—like handbrake turn, almost. "they're closing the whole valley in an hour. if you don't get out now, you're not getting out at all. we need to get out, mate!" throw everything in a suitcase... i and it literally was throwing everything in a suitcase for you. and everybody was like, "what's happening? what's going on?" so you imagine people screaming off in their cars, like, driving at crowds, and just going for the main road. and that was the thing that got me. i thought, "my god, this is people seriously panicking now. they're seriously frightened. " and then i had the whole chaos of the shop to deal with. people were just coming in, they didn't want to wait, they were just chucking their skis, like, one after the — into the shop. didn't care what was happening. chucking their boots in, chucking their skis in. i was like, oh, my god. we had, like, 200 skis or so coming back that day, so i had no idea what was going on. i even got people on that last day coming in, like, coughing and spluttering, and, like, saying "covid". it wasn't just the tourists who were blindsided by the announcement. gunther zangerl was on the local covid management board. tourists packed onto buses and coaches. police roadblocks were set up to check who was leaving. but with no proper procedures in place, these checks led to huge delays. it took from 5:00 till, ooh, about midnight, wasn't it, until we got to — it was about a 7—hour coach trip. we were on that coach, it crawled down the mountain. it's absolutely guaranteed that anybody that wasn't infected with the virus when they left ischgl was probably absolutely drenched in it by the time they got down the valley. the botched evacuation was the last in a string of costly mistakes by the austrian authorities, local and national. it's thought that skiers returning home from ischgl and surrounding resorts exported covid to as many as 45 countries, as far—flung as brazil and australia. more than 6000 people believe they were infected and at least 16 people died. within a week of getting back to britain, david, christine and nigel all had covid. nigel was taken to hospital. the girls were standing in the hallway and there was — there was a real feeling, in my own mind. i thought... "i'm walking out of my house now" and, i... i didn't know whether i'd be coming back on my feet or in a box. one year on, many of those caught up in the scarring events are still searching for answers. an independent enquiry details what it called "momentous miscalculations" in how the local authorities dealt with the virus at the time. some of those involved now face a criminal investigation. so did the authorities intentionally put wealth over health? the apparent lack of common sense in how they went about doing what they did, there was a whiff of the old jaws film and the mayor of amity island standing up in front of the tv cameras saying, "there's no shark here". this is vigorously denied by the authorities in ischgl and the wider tyrol region. dorte is clear on where she believes responsibility lies. the global tourism industry has already lost more than $1 trillion so far as a result of the pandemic. in europe, austria has been one of the countries hardest hit. ischgl now lies deserted, but some here believe better times will soon return. even after this pandemic ends, will travel and tourism ever return to what we once thought was normal? tourism and travel of people from one place to another has been very open, and easy, within europe. and in my mind, that's probably played a big role. and the free movement of people from one area to another is going to be probably much more restricted, i would think. from here, we need to be expecting all kinds of different viruses. this is going to happen again, i can assure you. if it does happen again, europe will need to have a strategy and a better early warning system in place. otherwise, the risk is more pain and more grief. the human tragedy of ischgl highlights dilemmas posed by covid to governments the world over. one year on, many of us are still left wondering if calamity strikes again, can we now trust those in power to make tough decisions fast and put our welfare first? issued to skiers. good morning. welcome to sunday breakfast, with chris mason and rachel burden. our headlines today: rolling out to the under—60s — more than a million people in england aged between 56 and 59 will be offered a coronavirus vaccine. a tale of two broadcasts — the royal family mark commonwealth dayjust hours before the duke and duchess of sussex's interview with oprah. good morning! rangers are almost there! against the advice, though, fans gather outside ibrox to celebrate, after victory takes them to the brink of their first scottish premiership title in a decade. and the 12—year—old boy whose lockdown art project is raising tens of thousands of pounds for charity. good morning. it's quite a cool and frosty start to the morning for some of us, but a mostly dry day ahead. expect some rain across parts of scotland. still fairly chilly for this time of year. i will have all of the details throughout this morning's programme. good morning to you. it is just after seven a.m.. it's sunday 7th march. our top story. people in their late—50s in england are now being invited to book their coronavirus vaccination. letters sent to hundreds of thousands of people between the ages of 56 and 59 began arriving yesterday, with more expected to be delivered tomorrow. here's our health correspondent, nick triggle. the nhs has given the green light to those below the age of 60 in england to start getting their first dose of the covid vaccine. people aged 56 to 59 are now able to go online or call 119 to book an appointment for their jab. letters have also been arriving at people's homes, inviting them to take up the opportunity. there are 1.7 million people in this latest age group in england. it comes after 21.8 million people in the uk have been given their first dose so far, that's two—fifths of all adults. it's so important for everyone to take up their offer when it's their turn, because it's the best way to protect you, to protect your loved ones, and get back to the lives we've all loved and missed so much. and by protecting yourself, you're protecting your community as well, so we really do urge you, if you've been offered the vaccination, take it up without delay. so far, more than nine in ten people aged 65 and over, and those who are clinically vulnerable have been vaccinated. and the nhs says as well as young adults with health conditions having and the nhs has offered nearly of those aged 60—64 a jab, as well as younger adults with health conditions. it means the programme can now move onto the under—60s. in fact, some areas which have made the most progress have already started doing this. the aim is to offer all adults the firstjab by the end ofjuly. ministers have said they are expecting an increase in vaccine supply during the second half of march, and it will not be long before the rest of those aged over 50 are invited for a jab. nick triggle, bbc news. an independent report has warned that the guidelines on personal protective equipment for health workers are "fundamentally flawed". the study, commissioned by the nurses�* union, the royal college of nursing, says the guidance relies on research which is now out—of—date, and does not acknowledge the full risk of airborne transmission of coronavirus. the department of health said staff safety was a top priority. the majority of parents in england will be happy to send their children back to school tomorrow, but two—thirds are concerned about the amount of lost learning. a survey by the institute for fiscal studies reveals some parents think that their child will never catch up. our education editor, branwen jeffreys, reports. it's been tough for parents, homeschooling while juggling work. but it's back to classrooms in england tomorrow and most parents are relieved. almost 6,000 parents gave their views on school return. around 90% support the return to classrooms, more than 60% are worried about lost learning. so, it's no surprise that 80% support tutoring. but parents also want creative and outdoor activities. so, how long do they think it will take children to catch up? 31% of parents who are concerned about lost learning think that it will take their child a whole year or longer to make up for everything that they've lost out on over the course of the pandemic. at the extreme end, 9% of secondary school parents think that their child won't be able to make up for their lost learning ever. tutoring is already underway in some schools, a national programme in england is part of catch up — the government has committed £1.7 billion for this year and next, but faces calls for a longer—term plan after that. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. let's speak now to our political correspondent, jessica parker. jess, it's a huge test for the government and schools tomorrow. it will be the first date in the road map, won't it? the first moment moving out of lockdown for england. so it will be a big moment tomorrow. ministers, i think, is still going to use the language of caution. of course there are quite big gaps between each stage of lifting lockdown, because of the outcome very keen, this is the last lockdown, we have heard that before. but there is a difference now because of the vaccine programme. you are right as well, a big test for schools as more children begin to return. there is pretty extensive testing in the resume, there are questions as to how effective that will be, the national education union raising their concerns that some of their teachers are struggling to get rental consent in terms of testing peoples and our calling for a bigger ministerial pushing the issue. it's worth remembering of course in scotland and wales we have seen the staggered return of some younger students, and also worth remembering tomorrow in england in terms of lifting the lockdown, there will be limited controlled care home visits and you will be able to visit a friend on a park bench. you will be able to socialise, notjust meat for exercise. able to socialise, not 'ust meat for exercise. . ., able to socialise, not 'ust meat for exercise. . ,, , ., able to socialise, not 'ust meat for exercise. . ,, . ,, the family of a woman who has been missing since wednesday say they are increasingly worried for her welfare. relatives of 33—year—old sarah everard say her disappearance is totally out of character. detectives released this cctv image of sarah the night she went missing, while walking home from a friend's house in clapham, in south london, and are appealing for information. i think we've got to carry on with our inquiries, look for where the evidence takes us, we're undergoing lots of inquiries at the moment, as i said, around the clock. we don't want to draw any conclusions at this stage, we're keeping an open mind. and as i say, our main objective is to locate sarah and hopefully reunite her with her family. tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in myanmar in some of the biggest protests since last month's military coup. a huge sit—in took place to commemorate the victims of the clashes between soldiers and protesters. the united nations says more than 50 people have died since the start of the coup. demonstrations in some towns have turned violent, with security forces firing tear gas and rubber bullets at crowds. pope francis is set to visit parts of iraq that were once controlled by islamic state militants on the third day of his landmark trip to the country. in the city of mosul, he's expected to offer a prayer for victims of war. he will also celebrate mass at a football stadium with up to to 10,000 people due to attend. but there are some fears the service could fuel the spread of coronavirus. and the co—founder of twitter has listed his first ever tweet for sale and bids have reached nearly £2 million. jack dorsey wrote the short message in march 2006 — it read: "just setting up my twttr", with the vowels missing from the final word. the highest bidder will get a special digital certificate to prove they own the tweet — but it will still be available for anyone to view on the social media platform. it does make you wonder what is tempting about it. but as we were saying earlier, it's a bit of digital history. i guess a lot of our history in the future will be digital? i was about to say no problem, but there are a lot of valves in that. i don't know how that would come out —— vowels. let's face it. it has become one of the most talked about royal spectacles for decades. oprah winfrey has promised shocking content with no subject off—limits and even the queen has not been given an advance copy. so, as the world waits to see what the duke and duchess of sussex will reveal in their televised two—hour prime—time show, the queen will be making her own broadcast, with her commonwealth day television special going outjust hours before the controversial interview. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, has more. it is a sharp divergence within the royal family, and over the next 24 hours it will be sharply demonstrated by two very different broadcasts. in the early hours of tomorrow, uk time, the duke and duchess of sussex will unburden themselves on us television. it will be a broadcast, when, as the preview clips have shown, meghan will explain why she needed to escape from life within the royal establishment. as an adult who lived a really independent life, to then go into this construct that is, um...different, than i think what people imagine it to be, it's really liberating. hours before the sussex broadcast, from westminster abbey in london, the queen and other principal members of the royal family will focus on the covid pandemic. in pre—recorded messages to mark commonwealth day, they'll reflect on the pandemic's impact around the world. amidst such heartbreaking suffering, however, the extraordinary determination, courage and creativity with which people have responded has been an inspiration to us all. the duke and duchess of cambridge will pay tribute to healthcare workers. catherine and i have spoken to a lot of healthcare workers in the uk and around the world over the last year and we hear your worries and your concerns and thank you for your time chatting to us about it. thank you, you know, for sharing for us and asking for help for us. so, thank you very much. there will also be a pre—recorded message to the commonwealth from the queen. her theme, the importance of working together. nicholas witchell, bbc news. let's speak to katie nicholl, who is the royal editor at vanity fair and entertainment journalist kj matthews, who is in los angeles this morning. good morning to you both. katie nicholl, let's come to you first in the united states. is it too simple to say that america is team meghan and perhaps in the uk there is a different perspective? give us a sense of that in dissipation, we were building up to this being broadcast? i were building up to this being broadcast?— were building up to this being broadcast? ~ , ., . broadcast? i think you are right. most of america _ broadcast? i think you are right. most of america is _ broadcast? i think you are right. most of america is team - broadcast? i think you are right. i most of america is team meghan, and particularly here in hollywood, in california, they are really team meghan. meghan markle was an actress before she became a member of the royal family. before she became a member of the royalfamily. what i have before she became a member of the royal family. what i have seen on social media and hearing hollywood is people are really happy that she is people are really happy that she is finally able to speak publicly about what was going on behind—the—scenes for the last couple of years since she married into the royal family. lots of people have been going on social media, particularly even celebrities, from rappers to models to actresses saying they stand up for meghan markle, they believe she has been bullied, if anyone has been bullied, its meghan markle and people need to take it easy on her and not try to distract us with these investigations into things she allegedly did three years ago. it is definitely team meghan markle, but i still think oprah winfrey, when she does have the sitdown interview with her, even though she is friends with meghan markle, she will still do her job. she is an excellent interviewer. she has been able to ask tough questions before. remember, she has been an interviewer on a talk show host for decades now. she has had some of the most famous interviews in the world. so we believe it will be a fair interview, but it will come out probably making meghan markle look pretty good. probably making meghan markle look re aood. . . ., pretty good. kate, we have had ulim ses pretty good. kate, we have had glimpses of _ pretty good. kate, we have had glimpses of what _ pretty good. kate, we have had

rebutted or in part by buckingham palace. but there is a senseif buckingham palace. but there is a sense if there were any bridges there before, they have been well and truly bred by this interview? i

there is a lot more sympathy, i think, for harry and meghan across the pond than there is here _ having had conversations in my other role about this it seems the country is very divided. they are very strong team harry and meghan here as well. that is easy to detect. i'm curious about what will be said about their relationship with the cambridges in particular. already the sun on sunday is speculating that that alleged rift will come up and that could be particularly explosive, couldn't it? absolutely. we know the _ explosive, couldn't it? absolutely. we know the relationship - explosive, couldn't it? absolutely. we know the relationship betweenj we know the relationship between william and harry is not good. it's so sad because my understanding is things were getting better. they had started speaking again and things were beginning to just get on the road to recovery. that has all been set back. if, indeed, as we understand, she does discuss this rift with the duchess and that allegedly kate did not make her feel welcomed into the royalfamily, william will be devastated but, i would imagine, also curious about it. because as far as the cambridges are concerned, they went out of their way to make megan feel very welcome. they had her overfor christmas, there are pictures of megan and kate together at wimbledon watching the tennis, there are two sides to every story and often two sides to every story and often two sides to every person full up i agree as well with kj, the points you made, oprah is a brilliant interviewer. i hope she asks

the uk this summer. the big issue here is that the eu is looking into the green pass, which will enable travel between european destinations and into and out of the year. they are taking their time on that. what seeing at the moment is all this destinations discussing their own ways forward. that is encouraging. yes, because when portugal talks about someone having to prove they are immune, what does that mean, if they have had covid in the last couple of months they might qualify as well. it will be problematic, isn't it, unless there are some internationally agreed system by which they can

looking at all the possibilities going forward. i would stress, you hear a loss about it is illegal to go on holiday at the moment. yes, it is illegal to leave the country without the written declaration coming in tomorrow, but it is not illegal to book a holiday. i think that is something everyone would love to look forward to this summer. . ~' would love to look forward to this summer.

covid vaccine rollout is getting underway. hundreds of thousands of letters have been sent to people aged between 56 and 59 in england, inviting them to book a jab. have you received yours, i wonder? one of those delivering the vaccine is dr ellie cannon, who's one of our regular gps. shejoins us now from north london. good morning to you, early. good morning. good morning to you, early. good

that with my own personal experience. so, where i live, ifeel a lot of my friends and acquaintances have now been vaccinated, and also from a practice we had a very busy vaccine clinic on friday. my colleague vaccinated around 240 patients throughout the day, with a steady stream of people coming in, everybody accepting the invitation to come in, which is good. but also, we can see from the nationalfigures, over good. but also, we can see from the national figures, over 21 good. but also, we can see from the nationalfigures, over 21 million doses now, which really is phenomenal.— doses

government ministers, they talk about how they fear that supply of the vaccine could be lumpy, that you will get sort of crest and waves as far as how much is coming in to gp practices or wherever it

delays. now, obviously that creates a lot of problem if you have people booked in —— problems, but that is less and less a problem as we start to use the astrazeneca jab less and more of the ones that can be in regular refrigerators. whether we're talking about products in the supermarket or vaccine delivery, at the moment, i think figures speak for themselves. the moment, i think figures speak

pupils with these lateral flow tests. what you make of this as an idea that they had talked about the problems of securing parental consent, in order to do them, and the practicalities of actually delivering the tests. we will be talking to some head teachers later on on breakfast. is it worth giving it a go even if it might encounter some problems? i think lateralflow testing is absolutely worth giving i some problems? i think lateralflow testing is absolutely worth giving a | testing is absolutely worth giving a go. what we have to remember with all of these measures, whether it be masks in schools or testing teenagers, is that we have really had a year of disrupted life and disrupted education for our kids. so, to take it as a couple of times a week is really no big deal, in my mind, when you compare a teenager sitting in their room, doing remote learning for weeks and weeks on and. i think we only to get onboard with the testing. i have two teenagers, one has already had their test before they go back to school. the others will have there is —— there one this week. these lateral flow tests can pick up false positive cases as well, but in the main, on the mass scale, it's a good way of preventing those outbreaks in schools, and we have to do everything we can to give our kids the best possible chance of staying at school for the next few months. i guess that is it, isn't it? psychologically it's about seeing the return to school, even if it is with masks and testing, that is better than the alternative of staring at laptops and endless zoom coles and all the rest of it —— zoom calls. i don't particularly want make it to — calls. i don't particularly want make it to sit _ calls. i don't particularly want make it to sit in _ calls. i don't particularly want make it to sit in a _ calls. i don't particularly want make it to sit in a classroom. calls. i don't particularly want i make it to sit in a classroom all day wearing a mask, but i understand if that is what has to be done to get schools back safely. there are groups of children for who wearing a mask throughout the day is difficult, those who have difficulty with hearing, those who have difficulty with social communication, but forthe communication, but for the vast majority of children, wearing a mask in a classroom is not going to be a problem for the whole day. and it's much better than the alternative, which is rising cases, or going back to remote school. and i don't believe this will be a permanent solution, by any means, i think it will only be for a few months. i would just ask you, ellie, before you go, this proposed 1% pay rise for plenty of nhs staff. i know it doesn't directly affect gps, i just wonder what your reflections are on it, speaking to colleagues in the last 48 hours or so?— it, speaking to colleagues in the last 48 hours or so? well, the 1% -a rise last 48 hours or so? well, the 1% pay rise certainly _ last 48 hours or so? well, the 1% pay rise certainly seems - last 48 hours or so? well, the 1% pay rise certainly seems very - pay rise certainly seems very minimal. we have to remember there are many people in this country who have also lost theirjob, you have only had pay decreases in the last year. i would have liked to have seen a much more significant legacy for the nhs, perhaps an increase or a continuation of the volunteer army that we have seen who have been incredibly helpful to our covid and the vaccination rollout. it would be lovely if people continued that legacy of volunteering as good samaritans, that could really help the nhs. i think it would be wonderful to see a thanksgiving day for the nhs, possibly a bank holiday. i'm not sure if any pay rise would be enough, really, for the sacrifices and for what nhs staff went through over the last year. staff went through over the last ear. �* , ., ., staff went through over the last ear. �*, ., ., ., ~ ., year. it's great to talk to you aaain year.

take a look at that i%, whether thatis they take a look at that i%, whether that is what it should be. it is time for some sport now. 7:37am. it has been a long day for rangers. rangers need just one more point to take the scottish premiership title for the first time in ten years, so they'll be glued to celtic�*s match at dundee united. because if celtic fail to win, rangers will be champions. despite being asked to stay away, though, fans broke covid rules and gathered outside ibrox after their 3—0 win over st mirren. the scottish government said they were extremely disappointed. but the rangers players made sure they celebrated where the supporters could see them. manager steven gerrard said he had to choose his words carefully. people's safety was the priority, he said, but he could totally understand the fans�* emotions. leicester are back up to second in the premier league and there was a win at last for southampton, but a howler from granit xhaka spoiled arsenal's day. jim lumsden rounds up the action. granit xhaka was sent off when his side dissolved to burnley in december. worse was to come for the swiss player. all went well for arsenal when pierre—emerick aubameyang fired the gunners into an early lead, but then a calamity in the defence, xhaka was presented with an unwelcome pass. instead of removing it from danger he kicked it straight into a delighted chris wood. the test of chris wood. utterly bizarre. arsenal bombarded burnley in the final minutes. a penalty overturned by var and an unfriendly post. i—i it remained. southampton were on a dreadful streak, just one point in nine league games. but after half—an—hour they were ahead against sheffield united through james ward—prowse. the hosts saw plenty of the ball but seemed at a loss with what to do with it. unlike che adams who scored his first goal since december. and how. all bad news for the beleaguered blades — rock bottom, 12 points from safety. "nice—looking football, don't score enough goals" is the criticism often levelled at brighton, but there was a bit of both as adam lallana gave them a lead against leicester at the amex. but the foxes fought back and kelechi iheanacho made it 1—1 in the second half. a draw looked likely until robert sanchez flapped at a corner and daniel amartey sent leicester up to second place in the table. brighton have lost three on the trot and are the same number of points from the relegation mire. jim lumsdon, bbc news. life back in rugby union's english championship didn't start well for the mighty saracens — they were beaten at cornish pirates by 25—17. saracens were relegated last season after salary cap breaches — and their side boasted seven internationals — but their numerous titles counted for nothing in penzance, as luke scully kicked ten points and rhodri davies scored a late try to secure a famous win for the pirates. joint head coach alan paver said "what an arm—wrestle, what a game, what a special moment". congratulations to the cornish pirates. what a win for them. premiership leaders bristol were rescued by siva naulago's late try which denied bottom of the table worcester a first premiership win since november — the bears just edging it 24—23. leinster powered into the proi4 final with a 38—19 victory over ulster, rhys ruddock�*s try gave them the crucial bonus point and that puts them 11 points ahead of ulster in the conference a table, with just two games remaining. leinster will defend their title against munster in three weeks' time. england's women have continued their run of fine form, completing a clean sweep over new zealand in the t20 series, to add to the one—day series they won last month. after setting the home side a victory target of 129, they bowled them out forjust 96 to win by 32 runs in wellington. mady villiers took a career best 3—10 and nat sciver wrapped up the victory. we don't know when england will next be in action, with their summer schedule yet to be confirmed. great britain claimed three medals at the european indoor athletics championships in poland. a real roller—coaster for holly archer. she thought she won silver in the 1,500 metres, only to be disqualified forjostling, and then reinstated after an appeal. silver, then, for holly archer. there was disappointment for holly bradshaw. a previous gold and silver medallist, she was favourite to win the pole vault, but produced her worst performance of the year and had to settle for bronze medal. it's was a far less complicated affair forjodie williams. she produced a personal best in the 400 metres to claim bronze. it's her first individual medal since 2014. and williams�*s fellow athletes were quick to congratulate her. dina asher—smith posted "jodieee" with a line of medals. and katarina johnson thompson said "yesjodie, from lane 1!" kjt and dean are not in action at those championships. —— kjt and dina. we were talking about holidays,

started painting on cardboard to pass the time in lockdown, his dad had an idea. a brilliant idea. something of a stroke of genius. here's noah, who has cerebral palsy, painting with his dad nathan. nathan then posted the pictures on social media asking artists to finish what his son had started. the response was incredible, with around 250 artists getting involved, and in the last week the paintings have been auctioned off, or are in the process of being auctioned to raise funds for the nhs. noah — who is non—verbal — joins us now along with dad nathan and mum lauren. took us through

about where is the crowd or will the crowd see this? i can kind of turn my back towards what should have been the crowd and use it in a way that feels more creative and will look better on screen that

was really long, how to support girls, so there is of course domestic abuse, there is education, just so many things to pick from. but i�*ve picked education because there are over 130 million girls who are out of school and school, a feel like we take it for granted in europe, but school is really the most basic thing to give to someone so they can make well—informed choices, so they can be independent and have control over their lives and be a part of, you know, a valuable member of society. but it is like obama said that a really like, imagine if you have a team full of players and half the team you don�*t let them play... zara, that is amazing. thank you for telling us about it. a joy to speak to you today. zara�*s second album poster girl is out now. and you can see her international women�*s day concert on monday, via her youtube channel. we will continue on the bbc news channel until nine this morning. this is where we say goodbye to viewers. good morning, welcome to breakfast with chris mason and rachel burden. our headlines today: rolling out to the under—60s. more than a million people in england aged between 56 and 59 will be offered a coronavirus vaccine. a tale of two broadcasts — the royal family mark commonwealth dayjust hours before the duke and duchess of sussex�*s interview with oprah. the wait is nearly over for rangers. against the advice, fans gather outside ibrox to celebrate, after victory takes them to the brink of their first scottish premiership title in a decade. and 20,000 mini—earthquakes in ten days, we�*ll find out what�*s going on in iceland. good morning, it�*s quite a cold and a frosty start to the morning for some of us but a mostly dry day ahead. expect some rain across parts of scotland. still fairly chilly for the time of year. i�*ll have all the details throughout the morning�*s programme. it�*s sunday 7th march. good morning. our top story. people in their late—50s in england are now being invited to book their coronavirus vaccination. letters sent to hundreds of thousands of people between the ages of 56 and 59 began arriving yesterday, with more expected to be delivered tomorrow. here�*s our health correspondent, nick triggle. the nhs has given the green light to those below the age of 60 in england to start getting their first dose of the covid vaccine. people aged 56 to 59 are now able to go online or call 119 to book an appointment for their jab. letters have also been arriving at people�*s homes, inviting them to take up the opportunity. there are 1.7 million people in this latest age group in england. it comes after 21.8 million people in the uk have been given their first dose so far, that�*s two—fifths of all adults. it�*s so important for everyone to take up their offer when it�*s their turn, because it�*s the best way to protect you, to protect your loved ones, and get back to the lives that we�*ve all loved and missed so much. and by protecting yourself, you�*re protecting your community, as well, so we really do urge you, if you�*ve been offered the vaccination, take it up without delay. so far, more than nine in ten people aged 65 and over, and those who are clinically vulnerable, have been vaccinated. and the nhs has offered nearly all those aged 60—64 a jab, as well as younger adults with health conditions. it means the programme can now move onto the under—60s. in fact, some areas which have made the most progress have already started doing this. the aim is to offer all adults a firstjab by the end ofjuly. ministers have said they are expecting an increase in vaccine supply during the second half of march, and it will not be long before the rest of those aged over 50 are invited for a jab. nick triggle, bbc news. an independent report has warned that the guidelines on personal protective equipment for health workers are "fundamentally flawed". the study, commissioned by the nurses�* union, the royal college of nursing, says the guidance relies on research which is out of date, and does not acknowledge the full risk of airborne transmission of coronavirus. the department of health said staff safety was a top priority. the most anticipated royal interview for years — the controversial oprah winfrey interview with the duke and duchess of sussex — airs in the us later tonight. just hours before the interview, the queen will address a uk television audience to share her annual commonwealth day message. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, has more. it is a sharp divergence within the royalfamily, and over the next 24 hours, it will be sharply demonstrated by two very different broadcasts. in the early hours of tomorrow, uk time, the duke and duchess of sussex will unburden themselves on us television. it will be a broadcast, when, as the preview clips have shown, meghan will explain why she needed to escape from life within the royal establishment. as an adult who lived a really independent life, to then go into this construct that is, um... different than i think what people imagine it to be, it�*s really liberating. hours before the sussex broadcast, from westminster abbey in london, the queen and other principal members of the royal family will focus on the covid pandemic. in pre—recorded messages to mark commonwealth day, they�*ll reflect on the pandemic�*s impact around the world. amidst such heartbreaking suffering, however, the extraordinary determination, courage and creativity with which people have responded has been an inspiration to us all. the duke and duchess of cambridge will pay tribute to health care workers. catherine and i have spoken to a lot of health care workers in the uk, i and around the world, over the last year and we hear your worries - and your concerns and thank you for your time _ chatting to us about it. thank you, you know, for sharing for us and asking for help for us. so, thank you very much. there will also be a pre—recorded message to the commonwealth from the queen. her theme — the importance of working together. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the majority of parents in england will be happy to send their children back to school tomorrow, but two—thirds are concerned about the amount of learning lost. a survey by the institute for fiscal studies reveals some parents think that their child will never catch—up. let�*s speak now to our political correspondent, jessica parker. this is a big moment in the first stage of the bird back to normality. yes, the first step in what is hoped to be the last logged in. == yes, the first

moment tomorrow for many families —— successful vaccine roll—out. they and their top scientific advisers will be closely monitoring the impact of case rates and infection levels in children back into the classroom will have. another thing that will be closely monitored is this extensive testing regime to try and make the situation safer. they will be closely monitoring that. the national education union saying some leaders are struggling to get, for example, parental consent to get pupils tested. some criticism. there will be a lot of scrutiny. worth mentioning that in scotland and wales, there has already been a return of some younger pupils but in england as well, tomorrow, yes you have the return of schools but a couple of other things to mention for people as well. limited to controlled care home visits allowed in england, which will be a huge moment for many families. if you want to meet one other person outside, it doesn�*tjust have to be for exercise, you can sit down on a park bench and have a coffee. thanks, very much, jess. we will talk a bit more about schools returning in a few minutes�* time. the family of a woman who has been missing since wednesday say they are increasingly worried for her welfare. relatives of 33—year—old sarah everard say her disappearence is �*totally out of character�*. detectives released this cctv image of sarah the night she went missing, while walking home from a friend�*s house in clapham, in south london, and are appealing for information. i think we�*ve got to carry on with our inquiries, look for where the evidence takes us, we�*re undergoing lots of inquiries at the moment, as i said, around the clock. we don�*t want to draw any conclusions at this stage, we�*re keeping an open mind. and as i say, our main objective is to locate sarah and hopefully reunite her with her family. pope francis has arrived in the city of mosul, which was once controlled by islamic state militants — on the third day of his landmark trip to the country. in the shadow of a ruined church in mosul, he�*s offered a prayer for victims of the fighting. he will also celebrate mass at a football stadium — with up to 10,000 people due to attend. but there are some fears the service could fuel the spread of coronavirus. that brings you up—to—date with the news headlines, this morning. celebrations around england for many families as parents boot their children out of the front door and back into school tomorrow. in theory, all pupils from tomorrow morning can go back but some secondary schools are staggering the return while they carry on testing. indeed. the prime minister has said the reopening represents "a truly national effort" to beat the virus — but it certainly presents a huge logistical challenge for teachers. worth remembering, of course, some pupils in wales and scotland already started going back, that process is more phased in northern ireland, also start returning next week. ges smith is the head teacher ofjo richardson community school in dagenham and michelle binns holds the same position at ward green primary school in barnsley, and both join us from home. thank you very much for getting up on a

details. a nice spring shot with the low sun! yeah, it is gorgeous. good morning. this is north yorkshire by one of our weather watchers but fairly typical of the skies above many of us out there to day. a fair bit of cloud but some sunshine breaking holes in that cloud. some springlike sunny weather for holes in that cloud. some springlike sunny weatherfor some of holes in that cloud. some springlike sunny weather for some of us but temperature is not doing great at this stage in march. a bit chilly particularly this morning. high pressure still largely in charge of our weather keeping a lot of dry conditions out there. england and wales, some sunshine especially further west, wales, some sunshine especially furtherwest, parts wales, some sunshine especially further west, parts of wales and south—west england and south—west scotland are seeing some breaks. further east, more likely to keep more cloud through the course of the day. some patchy outbreaks of rain in scotland, especially in the north and the west, some spots in aberdeenshire. northern ireland will see the cloud increasing through the afternoon with some patchy rain in the evening. before, 9 or 10 degrees for scotland and northern ireland, england and wales still only about 7 or 8 degrees at best this afternoon. the evening, we enter the day on a dry quiet note with light winds, especially england and wales. scotland and northern ireland seem cloud and patchy rain which will sink further south into northern england in the early hours of monday. to the south of that, where you keep those clear skies, never cold and frosty night. a chilly start to monday morning in the south. milderfurther north. monday will be north— south split in the weather. more cloud in parts of northern england, scotland and northern ireland and a patchy, light rain at times but not all day. further south, rain at times but not all day. furthersouth, more rain at times but not all day. further south, more in the way of dry and fairly sunny weather to be enjoyed. temperatures up compared to the weekend, 9 or 10 for most of us through the day on monday. things will turn milder but a change in the weather as we look through the week ahead. high pressure has been in charge for the past few days but that slips away, opening the doors to low pressure coming in from the atlantic. tuesday not a bad day, lots of dry weather and warmer than it has been, quite a springlike feel on tuesday. holding on to the sunshine for east anglia and the south—east for longest on tuesday but cloud elsewhere increasing from the west and the winds will pick up. 10 or 11 should feel pleasant. later in the day, this quite heavy rain and strong winds associated with a deep area of low pressure moves west to east. we will be seen that a speu to east. we will be seen that a spell of quite stormy weather through the middle of the week. another area of low pressure moves in late on wednesday and thursday. it will be a different feeling weak. milder air in it will be a different feeling weak. milderair in charge it will be a different feeling weak. milder air in charge with the wind and rain arriving, it won�*t feel

husband and daughter — she was imprisoned in iran in 2016, after being accused of spying. her jail sentence officially ends today, but it�*s unclear if she�*ll actually be released. her husband richard says she�*s stressed and anxious, as she waits to hear if she can return home to the uk. caroline hawley reports. it�*s what she lives for, precious moments by screen. i�*lljust show you. it�*s still quite a messy house. richard, gabriella and nazanin haven�*t been together for five years, an ordinary family going through an extraordinary ordeal. gabriella�*s been counting the days until she hopes her mum comes home. she was only one when nazanin was arrested, then sentenced to jail at a secret trial. singing. little could they imagine when this was filmed that months of solitary confinement for nazanin, years of separation for them all, lay ahead. since march last year, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe has been out ofjail under house arrest with an ankle tag. what does today mean? i mean, nazanin�*s been counting down to this day for a very long time. and, you know, back when she was in solitary, or, the conversations i was having with her in prison for a month after, and even when she had come out, is that the worst—case scenario would be i�*ll be coming home on march 7th, and that would be when it�*s over. and as we�*ve got close to that, that�*s felt less sure. now she�*s not... i mean, really, quite, quite wobbly and stressed and anxious and fearing all sorts of things. for gabriella, it probably means another broken promise. and none of you ever imagined it would go on this long? i remember thinking that, "there�*s just no way it�*s going to last five years." and now to be sitting here and actually, five years would be good outcome. we�*d take that at this point because it could be six, or seven, or whatever. is she supposed to come out? no, she�*s supposed to come back, that�*s right. but is she gonna? i'm not sure, if i'm honest. richard says iran�*s held his wife hostage. it wants britain to repay a long—standing debt and his family is caught in a political game of chess. as they wait for the next move, nazanin�*s being painting her hope that�*s kept her going through the darkest of days. she drew a picture of me and her embracing and that sort of reunion. partly to keep herself calm, but partly to hold onto the idea that, you know, there is a home waiting for her, that i�*m waiting for her, that there�*s a normal family life to restart. for both of us, holding onto that sense that the other one is waiting for them, is going to be with them, and we�*ll get through this... i love you, baby. love you! bye — bye. love you, ba by. try and stay well, eh? love you. caroline hawley, bbc news. thinking of that family and everything they�*ve been through and wishing them all the best from bbc breakfast. it is 8:24am. the guidelines for ppe worn by nhs staff in england during the pandemic have been described as "fundamentally flawed" in an independent report. the study — commissioned by the nurses�* union, the royal college of nursing — says the guidance relies on world health organisation research which is out of date. let�*s speak now to the co—author of that report, professor dinah gould. good morning to you. good morning. talk us through _ good morning to you. good morning. talk us through what _ good morning to you. good morning. talk us through what you _ good morning to you. good morning. talk us through what you found. - talk us through what you found. well, the royal college of nursing was concerned because members had consulted it and they were concerned about lack of ventilation in health care estates and also they were concerned about face protection and that it might not be adequate. and so what i did, what we did, we looked at recommendations that the uk has and looked at how they had been derived and they had been derived from a document called rapid review that had been undertaken in the uk. things have been confusing. the world health organization has guidelines about control and prevention of covid but it also has guidelines for emergency outbreak situations when very little is known about an organism for the first time, a virus for the first time. so i looked at those emergency advice guidelines and what we did from that was extract criteria by which we would be able to judge the adequacy of the rapid review that underpinned the uk guidelines and we extracted 18 criteria which the ravid review met partially and the other 14 were not. —— met four partially. given what you found, what would you recommend should happen now? well. recommend should happen now? well, the world health _ recommend should happen now? -ii the world health organization guidelines for writing guidelines in the emergency situation says it is perfectly all right at the beginning of an emergency to use what information you have, providing that you update it regularly, you look at the literature that is emerging, and you keep the information updated. and also when you are generating emergency guidelines, you don�*t have much time, you can�*t look at all the information available, so you should make clear what short cuts you have used. ~ . , ., . ., the make clear what short cuts you have i used.— the world used. what should change? the world health

interesting, the protection on one hand and the other side is vaccines and we will talk about that in the next half an hour, letters going out to people in their 50s. if you have any questions, there

in the news. this week, it�*s presidentjoe biden�*s first foreign policy test — how to deal with saudi arabia. this week, i want to look at a vital early test ofjoe biden�*s presidency. congratulations, mr president. cheering and applause it's been six weeks since joe biden became president. six weeks for him to begin the work of turning campaign promises into policy. promises like this on saudi arabia. president trump has not punished senior saudi leaders. would you? yes. and i would make it very clear we were not going to in fact sell more weapons to them. we were going to in fact make them pay the price and make them in fact the pariah that they are. that was on the campaign trail. this is the biden administration in power. we are very focused on future conduct. and that is part of why we have cast this, not as a rupture, but a recalibration. i want to look at how this complex bond between us and saudi arabia won�*t easily be broken, regardless of who�*s in the white house, and how a murder and a war are presenting this early test for the president. this is a story of a superpower and how the saudis are part of its effort to stay that way. at first glance, america and saudi arabia have little in common. one�*s a democracy, one is an authoritarian monarchy. one�*s majority christian, one is sunni muslim. one has freedom of speech, the other routinelyjails activists. and their relationship is under constant pressure, in part because of a murder in 2018. mr khashoggi was strangled shortly after he entered the saudi consulate on the second of october. a hood was placed over his head and his body was later dismembered. jamal khashoggi was a saudi journalist and a us resident. in october 2018, he was in istanbul in turkey. we see him entering the saudi consulate. not long afterwards, he was killed and dismembered. and us intelligence believes this was approved by the saudi crown prince, mohammed bin salman. he�*s effectively the leader of saudi arabia, and he denies involvement in the killing. this, though, was the conclusion the un reached. there is absolutely no doubt, no doubt under international human rights law, that the responsibility of the state of saudi arabia is involved. it is involved in the killing, it is involved in the lack of an effective investigation, it is involved in the lack of an effective prosecution. and if the saudi state was involved, it would be unlikely that the crown prince wasn�*t. well, shortly after the murder, then—president donald trump was asked about this. what are you considering for possible consequences for saudi, based on those...? well, it would have to be very severe, i mean, it's bad, bad stuff. but the punishment wasn�*t severe — in fact, very little was done. less than three weeks after the murder, the then—us secretary of state mike pompeo visited riyadh and as you can see it was handshakes and smiles with mohammad bin salman. that set the trump approach. the veteran reporter bob woodward later reported that donald trump said of the crown prince.. trump called that book fake news but there�*s no reason to doubt it, and in any case, it is true. the us did leave mohammad bin salman alone. joe biden promised to be different and this week the senior democrat adam schiff has said: but what�*s actually happened this week is that first we have a report confirming the us intelligence believed the crown prince approved the murder, and second we have confirmation that he won�*t be targeted. my colleague nick bryant had the story as it developed. while they�*ve announced what they�*re calling a khashoggi ban, which is targeting foreign nationals who they say have intimidated, or harassed or assaulted dissidents and journalists, they haven�*t imposed sanctions on mohammed bin salman. the crown prince will go unpunished. and that development has been fiercely criticised. jamal khashoggi wrote for the washington post and its publisher fred ryan has written: we�*ve also heard from jamal khashoggi�*s fiance who put out a statement saying: and some usjournalists and biden supporters have arrived at this point. is the only difference between trump bragging about saving mbs�*s ass and biden acting as if he has no choice but to save mbs�*s ass, is the only difference the words surrounding the decision? well, let�*s try and answer that. first of all, here�*s the official explanation. our objective is to recalibrate the relationship, prevent this from ever happening again and find ways, as there are still, to work together with saudi leadership while still making clear where we feel action is unacceptable. that might be the objective but others are suggesting there�*s really easy to preen and promise that you're going to do very tough things when there's nothing you can do. the moment the reins of power are in your hands, it's a lot more complicated to do the things you promised when you were just the campaign guy. and it is a lot more complicated — that�*s true for every leader assuming power — but there are longer—term reasons, too, why the biden administration won�*tjust break with the saudis, and they reach back to 1945. newsreel: the arabian monarch goes aboard the president's cruiser to be i received amid impressive and colourful ceremonies. here we�*re seeing the then—us president franklin roosevelt meeting the saudi king and from this point, american oil companies began working with the saudi state. that made both sides a lot of money and there were benefits beyond that. suzanne maloney of the brookings institution put it this way: and while us imports of saudi oil have been decreasing, the security dimension of this relationship very much remains. america has a number of military bases in saudi arabia, and right across the gulf from saudi arabia is iran, which the us sees as a major security threat. it doesn�*t trust iran�*s nuclear activity, and it knows iran supports militia in lebanon, syria, iraq and yemen. america believes it needs saudi arabia to counter the iranians. and if you want an illustration of the tangle that america finds itself in with saudi arabia, well, the khashoggi murder is definitely one. the war in yemen is another. artillery on one side of this conflict we have the yemeni government, backed by a saudi—led coalition. on the other are houthi rebels, backed by iran, and president biden has acted. he suspended us military sales to saudi arabia for offensive purposes. we�*ll have to see if this de—escalates the conflict. there are, though, already consequences — the loss of arms sales for us firms, and there�*s evidence the houthi rebels in yemen are emboldened. but these are calculations that presidents have to make, and while there may be a moral dimension, in the end, america�*s interests are the dominant consideration. it�*s a point made by this obama—era ambassador to saudi arabia, talking about the issue of the crown prince and jamal khashoggi. doing sanctions right now, on mbs, would not have done very much to advance us interests other than to give some of us satisfaction. donald trump was equally blunt when viewing arms sales to the saudis. they're spending $110 billion purchasing military- equipment and other things. if we don't sell it to them, they'll say, well, thank you very much, i we'll buy it from russia, or thank you very much, j we'll buy it from china. that doesn't help us, _ not when it comes to jobs and not when it comes to our companies losing out on that work. - donald trump saw the world as america first — america versus everyone else. joe biden has a more global perspective but he knows — all american presidents know — that empires don�*t last forever and nor do superpowers. america can see a surging china, a resurgent russia, and if you listen to this commentator, that means decisions that are both unpalatable and inevitable. the reality is that we would rather have a deeply flawed ally than an adversary in competition where saudi arabia might make war on china russia for its arms deliveries and economic strength. and that is why the us won�*t walk away. it didn�*t after a number of saudis were involved in the 9/11 attacks in 2001, it hasn�*t after the khashoggi murder. president obama understood this — he went to saudi arabia and met the king despite profound reservations about its human rights record. a dancing president trump understood this — he made saudi arabia his first foreign trip. and president biden understands this, too. in their very different ways, all three expressed disapproval of saudi actions, all three placed american interests above that. this is an exchange, not an alliance, and it�*s about the maintenance of american power. and for all thatjoe biden positions himself as a break from trump, on this marriage of convenience with the saudis, continuity is the word. now the sport. there is something of the hollywood comeback to the rangers story. in 2011 and 2012 into administration and financial problems and relegated to the fourth tier of scottish football and now here they are. ihtnd football and now here they are. and ste - hen football and now here they are. and stephen gerard has become below the radar are clever and strategic manager. —— steven gerrard. i bet if you are going to scotland it�*s all steven gerrard and how fantastic he is back down here he has gone unnoticed but he is catapulted into the global spotlight if rangers win. it could all be decided this afternoon — if celtic fail to beat dundee united — then rangers will be champions for the first time in ten years. despite being asked to stay away, fans broke covid rules and gathered outside ibrox after their 3—0 win over st mirren. the scottish government said they were extremely disappointed. but the rangers players made sure they celebrated where the supporters could see them. manager steven gerrard said he had to choose his words carefully — people�*s safety was the priority, he said, but he could totally understand the fans emotions. it�*s the manchester derby later on in the premiership — city 12 points clear at the top, united in third place, and they�*re separated by leicester, who moved back into second after coming from behind to win 2—1 at brighton — daniel amartey with the winner. there was plenty of drama at burnley — arsenal took an early lead and they were well on top but a botched clearance from granit xhaka fell to a grateful chris wood to make it 1—1. and as arsenal piled on relentless pressure, they were denied a penalty, when the ball struck the arm of erik pieters. var said no. mikel arteta was outraged. the burnley manager was amused by the appeals. i find ifind their i find their pen —— the penalty situation _ i find their pen —— the penalty situation unfathomable in the game today— situation unfathomable in the game today on— situation unfathomable in the game today on the screen monitor. ——screamometer. and southampton ended a run of nine premier league games without a win, beating sheffield united 2—0, che adams scoring an absolute cracker against his former club. england�*s women have continued their run of fine form, completing a clean sweep over new zealand in the t20 series, to add to the one—day series they won last month. after setting the home side a victory target of 129, they bowled them out forjust 96, to win by 32 runs in wellington. mady villiers took a career best 3—10 and nat sciver wrapped up the victory. great britain claimed three medals at the european indoor athletics championships in poland. a real in the 1500 metres, only to be disqualified for jostling, and then reinstated after an appeal. it was a far less complicated affair forjodie williams. she produced a personal best in the 400 metres to claim bronze. it�*s her first individual medal since 2014. i came here to do that. so i�*m just really glad that i�*ve proved to myself that i can get on podiums again. this was really about overcoming those mental barriers. last time i was here, i came forth. —— fourth. so i had to come home with something. there was disappointment for holly bradshaw, though. a previous gold and silver medallist she was favourite to win the pole vault, but produced her worst performance of the year and had to settle for bronze. i�*v e i�*ve seen a lot of people say how much they enjoy the athletics and its back on bbc one later today. more than 1.5 millon people in their late—50s are being invited to book their coronavirus vaccine. letters were sent out to those in england aged between 56 and 59 this weekend. the government�*s aiming to offer a first dose to all adults by the end ofjuly. we�*rejoined now by doctor nikki kanani, medical director of primary care at nhs england. great news for people in their late 50s, great news for people in their late 505, it great news for people in their late 50s, it really does feel like we are romping through the age groups now. a huge thanks to everyone in front of and behind—the—scenes. we are romping through an working evenings and weekends, notjust delivering the vaccine but planning on trying to make sure we roll like this vaccine is quickly and safely as possible. vaccine is quickly and safely as ossible. ., , possible. one thing i have been cunous possible. one thing i have been

an evergreen office or if you have not said yes the first time you still have an opportunity to get your vaccine and get yourself protected. how we supply looking? we hear ministers use the word lumpy to describe the supply of vaccines and we are reaching a point where lots of people who were getting atjab at the beginning of the year will be getting their second jab so will we see a slowdown in people getting their firstjab because i see a slowdown in people getting theirfirstjab because i will see a slowdown in people getting their firstjab because i will be people who have got theirjab and their second jab together. it is their second 'ab together. it is reall their second jab together. it is really important _ their second jab together. it 3 really important people get their second job and then filling in the first spaces. our team have done extremely well so as the supply ramps up we can keep on delivering those important second doses but keep protecting people with the first doses as well and that is why we have general practice teams delivering a vast number of vaccinations in a fantastic way and we have community pharmacies and vaccination centres coming on all the time so we can keep responding and we�*ve always said if we get the supply in the nhs we will deliver it and that is what we�*re doing. its, supply in the nhs we will deliver it and that is what we�*re doing.

you will get a letter. we are asking people to wait to get the latter before the use the booking website. as you can imagine it has been really busy and yesterday we had our biggest yet on the booking website because people had been so understandably enthusiastic so we�*re saying please wait for your letter and then you can go on and book are use the or online service but wait for that letter and wait until tomorrow because if you haven�*t got your letter yet you will get it. we are also finding understandably people are really keen to get that appointment and they are booking two or even three times so if you have booked an appointment with your general practice team you don�*t need to book an appointment with your vaccination centre because that is an important vaccination centre

the weather now. we have had a frost overnight and temperatures first thing where down to —7 in mid wales. this is the picture in powys. some holes in the cloud and that will be the story for many of us. some breaks in the cloud as well. temperatures still a little below par for this time of year but high pressure still in charge for most of us saw a lot of dry weather on the scenes. across parts of scotland milder air but outbreaks of patchy rain across north—western scotland and towards aberdeenshire. dumfries and galloway seeing a bit of sunshine and across parts of england, wales and northern ireland are variable amounts of cloud. probably the best sunshine to be fined for the west. temperatures seven or 8 degrees for most but nine or ten and slightly milder air towards the north. through this evening and overnight patchy rain across northern ireland and scotland will continue but across england and wales clearer skies so another cool night ahead with temperatures dipping below freezing in the south and south—west. a touch of frost to start monday morning but for the north cloud keeping things above freezing. through the day we have filaments of cloud for parts of northern england and scotland and northern ireland and light patchy rain. on and off through the course of the day. for the south sunny skies across parts of england and wales and perhaps north of scotland later on. temperatures higher than the weekend, about nine or ten by the weekend, about nine or ten by the time we get to monday afternoon. all change so the week ahead because high pressure will be in charge of our weather. over the last week or so that is clearing out away and low pressure will come in from the atlantic. a slow process of tuesday not a bad day and feeling more springlike and keeping sunshine for south and east england but cloud increasing from the west and heavy rain moving in late on tuesday. before that ten or 11 degrees and a little more than at the weekend. low pressure moves west to east across the uk and from the west to the east and followed by another deep area of low pressure with windy conditions likely and rain and milder air. low pressure with windy conditions likely and rain and milderair. the wind coming in from a south—westerly direction. forthe wind coming in from a south—westerly direction. for the next couple of days many of us predominantly dry and still quite cool and when things turn milder it could be quite stormy into the middle of the week. it may seem incredible — but more than 20,000 small earthquakes have shaken south—west iceland in the last ten days alone. the seismic activity is thought to be caused by movements of molten rock underground and the pulses are said to happen every 800 years. scientists believe that a bigger volcanic eruption could take place as a result. seismologist, vala hjorleifsdottir, who is not very far from the area, joins us now. not very farfrom not very far from the area. is everything still and calm right now? yesterday i thought i would be telling you how events were coming down but on the night we had another pulse of activity so it is unclear how it will develop.—

of 20,000 events we have had over the last ten days. in the first days it was everyone trying to guess how big was that when and how big was that one and now it is like, all, another one. so we are really getting used to them. this is our one in 800 years event. can you describe what is happening underground at the moment? istate can you describe what is happening underground at the moment? we

relative to each other so it is quite normal in these places with a plates meet that there is volcanic activity but the timescale so long so even if it happens weekly it is not so short for human
