zaghari—ratcliffe — after she faces new allegations of anti—government propaganda in court. authorities in the republic of ireland recommend temporarily suspending use of the astrazeneca vaccine, after a report of four new cases of blood clotting incidents in adults who'd had the jab in norway. and it's the music industry's biggest awards night of the year — the grammys. they're being held at a virtual ceremony in los angeles. good afternoon. the metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick, is under pressure this afternoon over how her officers handled a vigil in memory of sarah everard — the 33—year—old woman whose body was found in woodland days after she disappeared. police intervened to break up the vigil and made several arrests at the event on clapham common, in south london, close to where sarah was last seen alive. the met has defended its approach, saying with so many people crowded together there was a risk of spreading coronavirus. this report from our home editor, mark easton, contains flash photography. within moments of being taken, this picture of police holding down a woman on clapham common last night became a symbol of female defiance against male aggression. as darkness descended on the vigil for sarah everard, what had been a peaceful and respectful demonstration of female solidarity turned ugly. police moved in to disperse the crowd, there was pushing and shoving, with a number of women taken away in handcuffs. four of them were arrested for public order and coronavirus regulation breaches — among them, jada. they put me in handcuffs, the beautiful women standing with me, one of them, as the pictures are circulating, she was thrown to the floor, she had police officers on her back with their knees and feet. the police say they had to act for public safety reasons. i personally didn't see anyone being at risk. as i was sat in the van, as my hands were handcuffed, i was thinking, gosh, all i wanted was to stand with other women, and the fear that has been brewing for years from a very young age, we get harassed and we are aware of the abuse and violence against women. the sight of women who had come together to stand against male violence being manhandled has led to a chorus of criticism across the political spectrum. from across the political spectrum. the home secretary described the footage as "upsetting" and demanded a full report from scotland yard. the labour mayor of london, sadiq khan, called the scenes "unacceptable". the leader of the liberal democrats was among those demanding the metropolitan police commissioner dame cressida dick resign. the focus of this weekend should be on sarah everard and herfamily, but it is right also that the police explain their actions. the police put their foot down before they put their boot in, and at every stage they made the wrong call. the metropolitan police were already being investigated for their handling of events around the sarah everard murder inquiry. last night after midnight, a senior officer emerged to defend their approach to the vigil, insisting they had to enforce the law. police must act for people's safety. this is the only responsible thing to do. the pandemic is not over. gatherings of hundreds of people from right across london and beyond are still not safe. there is evidence to suggest some of those who attended the vigil had been looking for trouble, and the police have been criticised before for not intervening in protests during the pandemic, notably by the home secretary. but the death of sarah everard sparked an outpouring of anguish that required the most delicate amd sympathetic handling. the met stands accused of getting it badly wrong. mark easton, bbc news. our reporter emily unia joins us now from clapham common in south london. emily, what is the mood like there today. ? emily, what is the mood like there toda . ., , emily, what is the mood like there toda . , emily, what is the mood like

stream of visitors to the bandstand have arrived throughout the morning and into the afternoon. they've been laying flowers, lighting candles and pausing to lip pay their respects, to take a moment to reflect what happened to sarah everard. it was a similar situation yesterday afternoon until 6pm in the evening. police say that is when the situation turned, large numbers of people began to gather, despite the fact the official vigil had been called off. they said they tried to tell people to go home and when they didn't they then intervened to disperse the crowds and we got those scenes we have all seen now. the ones i think that really shocked people on the front pages of the papers were showing women who are here to fight male violence instead experiencing it and i think that is why so many people are very upset, right across the political spectrum and we are now hearing these calls from the home secretary for answers and i think by the end of the day we will have to have some more substantial response from the metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick. the? metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick.— metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick.

well, this is a problem, of course. this is not an officially organised event behind me. clearly there are a large number of people. eat one of them could argue, i'm on a walk with one other person, taking my daily recreation. yes, we are pausing, laying some flowers and moving on. the question is is this an organised event? would the police want to intervene again, considering what happened last night? it is an incredibly delicate situation and feelings are running incredibly high. there are a lot of people hear it visibly upset. this has really shaken them up and they want to do something. but we are in the middle of a pandemic and there are technically restrictions, which were breached last night and they might well be being breached right now, but considering the reaction we have had overnight, what happened with the police last night here at clapham common, i can see why they are taking a very hands—off approach today. are taking a very hands-off approach toda . , ., , are taking

emily unia. i think we can actually take you to some pictures that are coming into us from holland. no, just been told we might have lost those, unfortunately, because there had been some demonstrations in holland about the restrictions imposed by the government there and police have moved in to break up the protests. in fact, i can show you some pictures here. these are not life, but they came in a while ago, so these were the demonstrators protesting against the lockdown measures by the dutch government and if we can we willjust try measures by the dutch government and if we can we will just try to measures by the dutch government and if we can we willjust try to bring you some live pictures. no, apparently not quite yet, but they have been using water cannon and batten charges to break up those demonstrations. the dutch, a certain proportion of the dutch population very much against those lockdown measures. there was even a blast just a few weeks ago, actually, at the dutch covid test centre, which appeared to have been in as well. these pictures just into us in the last half an hour or so. let's return to one of our other major stories. the british—iranian woman, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who has just completed a five—year prison sentence in tehran, has again appeared in court to face new charges. she's accused of propaganda against iran, including taking part in a demonstration in london 12 years ago. nazanine's husband, richard ratcliffe, joins us now. another setback had more bad news. have you spoken to her since she appeared in court and how was she smack i have spoken to her this afternoon, yes.— afternoon, yes. and yes, she probably _ afternoon, yes. and yes, she probably was _ afternoon, yes. and yes, she probably was relieved - afternoon, yes. and yes, she probably was relieved that i afternoon, yes. and yes, shel probably was relieved that the afternoon, yes. and yes, she - probably was relieved that the court was over. as you say, she was in court on a charge of spreading propaganda against the regime. that has been hanging over her now for four years almost. that court case kept coming back and forward. so it happened, the final part of it, this morning. she met thejudge it, it was all quite calm. the judge said to her that he would be giving verdict within a week or so, so at least the court process is over and seeing the judge, least the court process is over and seeing thejudge, seeing her ring interrogates again, hopefully that is no more, at least. so we will await to see what comes next, but at least she hasn't got to go and face those trails. so least she hasn't got to go and face those trails-— those trails. so where is she now? back at her — those trails. so where is she now? back at her

so those trails. so where is she now? i back at her mum's and david's. so as you said in her intro, she finished a five year sentence last weekend and her ankle tag was taken off and as it was taken off she was given this new case. the past week she has been quite tense and stressed and we weren't sure it was going to be just one court hearing or a long, drawn—out game. and she actually went out for lunch with her mum and sister, so back at home and, you know, probablyjust trying to make sense and draw breath as to where we are. so sense and draw breath as to where we are. ., ., ., . ., are.

her experience was the beginning and that is when she was in solitary, that's when all the most military abuses were happening. but she is not safe, she is still in harm's way and she is still sitting facing an unknown sentence and an unknown length of time she's going to be helpful, so it is not a place where she can even if she can breeze that at least nothing more bad was going to happen today.

has hardened over the last weeks. yes, we requested the british embassy row accompany her to court. they need permission to go into court, but they don't need permission to accompany her, and they declined to, so suddenly i felt that was something they could have done i would have sent an important message of protection. what done i would have sent an important message of protection.— message

have to say i think it protects her at all the other british citizens who are being held hostage, for want of are being held hostage, for want of a better phrase, if the government were a little bit more visible. so i'm glad the foreign secretary has made some visible statements. i think we do need to go beyond talk and interaction, that is something i will take up with him in the weeks to come. ~ , ., i. ~' to come. why do you think there isn't that follow-through, - to come. why do you think there isn't that follow-through, from l to come. why do you think there - isn't that follow-through,

are quite cautious. i am cautious. yeah, they are quite cautious. iam not cautious. yeah, they are quite cautious. i am not sure we always see eye to eye on the best approach to protecting nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe and protecting the others and certainly we have long called for a more robust approach in a variety of ways. i don't see nearly enough credibility and challenge for what is essentially torture and hostagetaking, which seems to happen with impunity. this noes seems to happen with impunity. this aoes back seems to happen with impunity. this goes back it — seems to happen with impunity. this goes back it seems to that arms due deal that wasn't completed back in the 1970s. deal that wasn't completed back in the 19705. £400 deal that wasn't completed back in the 1970s. £400 billion at the time, presumably with interest worth billions now. —— £400 million at the time. what official linkage has been accepted and made to you and nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe about the linkage to that case? and what are you urging the british government to do about that, bearing in mind america settled something similar only five years ago? settled something similar only five ears auo? ., . settled something similar only five earsaro? ., ., , years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled _ years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled a _ years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled a big _ years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled a big debt - years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled a big debt they i years ago? you are exactly right. i the us settled a big debt they owed to iran overan the us settled a big debt they owed to iran over an old arms trade in 2016 and six weeks later we were picked up. and certainly that has been the backlog all along to our case. behind closed doors, it probably depends who you ask as to what is acknowledged and what isn't. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe has been told by her interrogators and her prosecutor and the judge in charge of parole that she wasn't going to get out until it was paid. that has been our concrete experience. every time that debt case has come into court in london and hasn't been settled, then something bad has happened to us. where we go forward from this, i think the government has tough policy choices. i think they have to be very clear about how they have to be very clear about how they protect those british citizens, notjust nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, not just nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who notjust nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who are currently held over this issue and also make sure they dis— incentivise hostagetaking in the long run, so that iran doesn't keep on doing this. there is a problem. there are a number of citizens from britain, europe, the us who are being held as h by the regime there and it is a very dangerous state for the government to take hostages. just on his arms deal, when the americans paid, again, iran was under sanctions and the money, $1 billion plus, was paid in used banknotes. have you got any idea on if the british might be inching closer to settling that debt? is that something that you are hopeful of? ~ , ., ., , ., , that

be too close. and i hopeful? i think it probably feels like there is more than acceptance that that is an inevitable part of what needs to happen. there is a big court hearing on that in the end of april, so the conversation i had with the foreign secretary a couple of weeks back was to say, listen, that court case gets postponed again with you just have to tell us because we are going to have to face the consequences. and we will see what we see. but have to face the consequences. and we will see what we see.— we will see what we see. but 'ust auoin we will see what we see. but 'ust going

the end of the day. labour says it will vote against a bill in parliament this week that would give the police more powers to impose restrictions on non—violent protests. it wants the proposed legislation to be widened to address violence against women. the foreign secretary has made another call for the immediate release of british—iranian nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — after reports suggest she has appeared in court to face a new allegation of anti—government propaganda. well, she has appeared in court. sport now, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. thanks very much indeed, tim. the last six nations match of the weekend is under way — and it's set to be a cracker — scotland against ireland at murrayfield. the form book very much with ireland in this fixture — early points from jonny sexton followed by a tryjust seven minutes into the game from robbie henshaw. scotland still have a chance of winning the six nations, if they can claim victory in their remaining matches, with other results going their way. but ireland have won nine of their past ten encounters. that game is live on bbc one. scotland have pulled three points back, ireland lead 8—3. scotland have a game in hand in the tournament, after their last match vs france was postponed due to a covid outbreak in the french camp. england are looking to make it two wins from two. in their second t20 match of the series in india. batting first — eoin morgan's side are... currently 160—6. jason royjust four short of a half century for england... ..after a dreadful start for his opening partnerjos buttler — who was out first ball. opening partnerjos buttler — england are one up in the five match series. in the first of today's four premier league games — brighton have moved up to 16th in the table, three points clear of the relegation zone, after winning 2—1 at southampton. lewis dunk put brighton in front at st mary's with just quarter of an hour gone. it didn't take long for the home side to pull level, their in form striker che adams scoring his third goal in three games. but ten minutes after the break, leandro trossard got what turned out to be the winner. it's the first time in 11 matches that brighton have managed to scored twice. it was a deserved victory. full credit to the players, we had to adapt, we lost down at half—time to adapt, we lost down at half—time to a tight hamstring and still we had to adapt and i thought we did really well. the second half was a really good goal and when we had to defend, of course, you have to defend against a team that plays with a huge personality and intensity, but overall i am so proud of the players. three more premier league games today. sheffield united — who officially parted company with manager chris wilder yesterday — are into the second half at leicester. it is currently 1—0 to leicester in that one. the day's big match is the north london derby at the emirates at 4:30, while manchester united host west ham in the late game. former middleweight world champion "marvelous" marvin hagler has died at the age of 66. hagler dominated his division from 1979, until a controversial defeat by sugar ray leonard in 1987. the american won 62 of his 67 professionalfights — 52 of those by knockout. hagler�*s most memorable win was arguably in 1985, when he beat thomas "hitman" hearns in a fight known as the war. lee westwood will go head—to—head with american bryson dechambeau once again this evening — this time at the players championship in florida. westwood will take a two shot lead into the final day, after a bogey—free round yesterday, getting four birdies, including this one at the 17th. dechambeau just edged out westwood at the arnold palmer invitational last week. in an definitely not a two horse race. this is one of the toughest golf courses to front run on as well. you know, it is easy to lose your mind out there and lose perspective and get the situation gets out of and let the situation gets out of control on yourself and people can come from behind you so just to shoot a low round today... came from two under to ten under so it is possible round here and, like i say, it is a tough and running course. meanwhile, at the qatar masters, how about this for a way to win a tournament? antoine rozner of france was tied for the lead going into the last hole — and holed a 60ft putt to take the title. absolutely incredible! that is very much how it is done, isn't it? that's all the sport for now. that's not how i do it, i haven't done it for years like this. very much for that. that should go back to the clashes between the police and demonstrators at the sarah everard vigil on clapham common last night. there is a statement from the mayor of london, sadiq khan. scenes, he says, arising of the police protest and the jewel of sarah everard last night are completely unacceptable. my thoughts remain with the family at this time. it is three orfour paragraphs with the family at this time. it is three or four paragraphs long, but i willjust take you through it. i completely understand, he says, white women, girls and allies wanted to hold a vigil to remember sarah and all women who have been subjected to violence or lost their lives at the hands of men and to reclaim the public spaces where women are made to feel so unsafe. he continues, last week i called on the government and police to work with the organisers of the vigil to clarify the law and find a way for it to take place legally and safely. on friday, a high courtjudge made clear there was a window to agree a way for individual to go ahead safely. he goes on to say, i received assurances from the metropolitan police last week that the vigil would be policed sensitively. in my view, this was not the case. he goes on to say, i asked the commissioner and deputy commissioner to coming to city hall today to give me an explanation of yesterday's events and the days leading up to them. significantly, sadiq khan says, i am leading up to them. significantly, sadiq khan says, iam not leading up to them. significantly, sadiq khan says, i am not satisfied with the explanation they have provided. i will now be asking her majesty's expectora nt provided. i will now be asking her majesty's expectorant contemporary, majesty's expectora nt contemporary, hmrc, majesty's expectorant contemporary, hmrc, to conduct a full investigation of the events of yesterday evening and on previous days. i will also be asking the iopc to investigate the actions of police officers yesterday evening. it is vital, he says, that these events are not allowed to undermine the powerful calls since there are's murderfor meaningful powerful calls since there are's murder for meaningful action to finally stop men inflict violence on women. it was clear before yesterday that there isn't adequate trust and confidence from women and girls in the police and criminaljustice system more widely. further steps must now be taken to address this. so the key part in that statement is that he asked the commissioner and deputy commissioner to come into city hall today to give an explanation of yesterday's events and the days leading up to it, and crucially, he says, i am and the days leading up to it, and crucially, he says, iam not satisfied with the explanation they have provided. we know that the home secretary priti patel has asked for a statement to be on her desk, presumably virtually, by the end of the day as well, but we were speaking to sir peter fahy a little earlier from formerly of manchester police, who were saying that the law is not clear and that is the trouble. there are grey areas for the police. around 2 million venerable people are being sent text from nhs england this weekend urging them to book their grain vaccination. those with pre—existing medical condition such as diabetes or surgical pants have not yet received a letter from their gp will be able to make an appointment via a link. here's our health correspondent anna collinson. keira lawrence has a learning disability, she was nervous about getting vaccinated so on the day, told the nurse. i told her i did not like needles and sheep prepared it away from me and she prepared it away from me and she came from behind me and as she was doing it, my husband was there to talk to me and distract me. my message for those people who are afraid of having the jab is don't be worried, don't be scared. there are calls for millions more vulnerable people with underlying health conditions to follow her lead. more than 7 million people are in group six and have been prioritised because they are more likely to become seriously unwell from coronavirus. the group includes those with underlying health conditions like cancer and heart disease, their carers and people with learning disabilities. as part of a renewed call to help some of the most vulnerable, leading charities, including mencap, have published an open letter urging them to consider booking their coronavirus jab. overall more than 23 million people have now been vaccinated, but there still a long way to go. but there is still a long way to go. this morning, the republic of ireland announced it was suspending using the oxford astrazeneca jab afterfour people in norway developed blood clots. the uk regulator insists available evidence did not suggest the vaccine was the cause. the vaccine roll—out has been a success, but that doesn't mean covid—19 will not continue to pose a threat. we need also to recognise this is a virus that is not going to go away and i have no doubt that in the autumn, there will be a further wave of infections. so as restrictions continue to be lifted, like the reopening of schools in england this week, the scientific community will be watching the data closely for any causes for concern. anna collinson, bbc news. you are watching bbc news. just mm moment ago we read out the statement from mayor of london, sadiq khan. wejust had some copy from the home secretary priti patel, asking her majesty's inspectorate of constabulary to look into the policing of the vigil on clapham common last night. we were saying that she has asked for a report from the met to be on her desk by the end of the day. pa, i think it is now, yes, the association saying that priti patel has seen a report from the met commissioner and is understood to believe some questions still need answered. she wants an external view of the decisions taken. actually that's not from epa, this is from nick eardley, in the past couple of minutes, so basically the home secretary secretary has seen that initial report from dane cressida dick, the commission of the metropolitan police, but is understood to believe some questions still need answered. music's biggest night of the year — the grammy awards — take place in los angeles tonight. but, because of the pandemic, it won't be the same star studded red carpet event we're used to. our west coast correspondent, sophie long, has been speaking to some first time british nominees who will be watching from afar. # shining through the city with a little funk and soul # so imma light it up like dynamite, whoa—oh—oh... # dynamite immediately became a record—breaking song on multiple platforms for k—pop band bts. it's earned a grammy nomination for them and for the london duo who wrote it. wow, we've got a grammy nomination. so, getting a grammy nom on a song that we wrote over zoom in lockdown and in the midst of a pandemic has just got to be a silver lining to any dark cloud and any terrible year, so, yeah, we're just so, so happy. it wasjust, like, a mad like... surreal, yeah. ..surreal 20 minutes of watching it and a buzz, and then suddenly it was just like — back to real life! back to work, yeah. keep it moving. david and jessica have written hundreds of songs together. they kind of knew this was a little different. we understood how huge bts were. we knew that it was their first ever english—speaking song, which was a major thing that we were like, "i think this is it." and then it only got more and more exciting when we see the visual, we see the video, and we was like, "this is like nothing we could ever imagine." it's just the levels of this is like nothing that we've ever worked on before. in los angeles, the stage is being set for bts to perform on sunday night, but due to the pandemic, jessica and david will be watching thousands of miles away in london. sophie long reporting there. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. with the exception of norht—east scotland staying mostly dry today, elsewhere, we are seeing some rain for a time. that will eventually reach those parts of eastern england. it will stay dry for much of the day. this evening, clearing away and a few showers in the south—west. largely clear overnight for eastern scotland and north—east england, that is where we will have the lowest temperatures. this is where there is a greater chance of seeing a touch of frost going into the morning, whereas elsewhere, temperatures staying well above freezing. it's in the west tomorrow that we will see most of the cloud for northern ireland, wales, western parts of england into western scotland. that cloud increases. chances of seeing patches of rain, whereas the eastern scotland and down the eastern side of england, it will stay dry with plenty of sunny spells around. the winds tomorrow are lighter and in fact continue to ease as we go through the day and the temperatures are a bit higher, so if you do get to see some sunshine, it is going to feel a little bit warmer. high pressure building in, not completely dry in the week ahead, certainly drier. the headlines. shame on you! after last night's clashes between police and crowds during a south london vigil in memory of sarah everard, the home secretary demands a report from the met by the end of the day.

zaghari—ratcliffe — after she faces new allegations of anti—government propaganda in court. authorities in the republic of ireland recommend temporarily suspending use of the astrazeneca vaccine, after a report of four new cases of blood clotting incidents in adults who'd had the jab in norway. and it's the music industry's biggest awards night of the year — the grammys. they're being held at a virtual ceremony in los angeles. good afternoon. the metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick, is under pressure this afternoon over how her officers handled a vigil in memory of sarah everard — the 33—year—old woman whose body was found in woodland days after she disappeared. police intervened to break up the vigil and made several arrests at the event on clapham common, in south london, close to where sarah was last seen alive. the met has defended its approach, saying with so many people crowded together there was a risk of spreading coronavirus. this report from our home editor, mark easton, contains flash photography. within moments of being taken, this picture of police holding down a woman on clapham common last night became a symbol of female defiance against male aggression. as darkness descended on the vigil for sarah everard, what had been a peaceful and respectful demonstration of female solidarity turned ugly. police moved in to disperse the crowd, there was pushing and shoving, with a number of women taken away in handcuffs. four of them were arrested for public order and coronavirus regulation breaches — among them, jada. they put me in handcuffs, the beautiful women standing with me, one of them, as the pictures are circulating, she was thrown to the floor, she had police officers on her back with their knees and feet. the police say they had to act for public safety reasons. i personally didn't see anyone being at risk. as i was sat in the van, as my hands were handcuffed, i was thinking, gosh, all i wanted was to stand with other women, and the fear that has been brewing for years from a very young age, we get harassed and we are aware of the abuse and violence against women. the sight of women who had come together to stand against male violence being manhandled has led to a chorus of criticism across the political spectrum. from across the political spectrum. the home secretary described the footage as "upsetting" and demanded a full report from scotland yard. the labour mayor of london, sadiq khan, called the scenes "unacceptable". the leader of the liberal democrats was among those demanding the metropolitan police commissioner dame cressida dick resign. the focus of this weekend should be on sarah everard and herfamily, but it is right also that the police explain their actions. the police put their foot down before they put their boot in, and at every stage they made the wrong call. the metropolitan police were already being investigated for their handling of events around the sarah everard murder inquiry. last night after midnight, a senior officer emerged to defend their approach to the vigil, insisting they had to enforce the law. police must act for people's safety. this is the only responsible thing to do. the pandemic is not over. gatherings of hundreds of people from right across london and beyond are still not safe. there is evidence to suggest some of those who attended the vigil had been looking for trouble, and the police have been criticised before for not intervening in protests during the pandemic, notably by the home secretary. but the death of sarah everard sparked an outpouring of anguish that required the most delicate amd sympathetic handling. the met stands accused of getting it badly wrong. mark easton, bbc news. our reporter emily unia joins us now from clapham common in south london. emily, what is the mood like there today. ? emily, what is the mood like there toda . ., , emily, what is the mood like there toda . , emily, what is the mood like

stream of visitors to the bandstand have arrived throughout the morning and into the afternoon. they've been laying flowers, lighting candles and pausing to lip pay their respects, to take a moment to reflect what happened to sarah everard. it was a similar situation yesterday afternoon until 6pm in the evening. police say that is when the situation turned, large numbers of people began to gather, despite the fact the official vigil had been called off. they said they tried to tell people to go home and when they didn't they then intervened to disperse the crowds and we got those scenes we have all seen now. the ones i think that really shocked people on the front pages of the papers were showing women who are here to fight male violence instead experiencing it and i think that is why so many people are very upset, right across the political spectrum and we are now hearing these calls from the home secretary for answers and i think by the end of the day we will have to have some more substantial response from the metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick. the? metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick.— metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick.

well, this is a problem, of course. this is not an officially organised event behind me. clearly there are a large number of people. eat one of them could argue, i'm on a walk with one other person, taking my daily recreation. yes, we are pausing, laying some flowers and moving on. the question is is this an organised event? would the police want to intervene again, considering what happened last night? it is an incredibly delicate situation and feelings are running incredibly high. there are a lot of people hear it visibly upset. this has really shaken them up and they want to do something. but we are in the middle of a pandemic and there are technically restrictions, which were breached last night and they might well be being breached right now, but considering the reaction we have had

emily unia. i think we can actually take you to some pictures that are coming into us from holland. no, just been told we might have lost those, unfortunately, because there had been some demonstrations in holland about the restrictions imposed by the government there and police have moved in to break up the protests. in fact, i can show you some pictures here. these are not life, but they came in a while ago, so these were the demonstrators protesting against the lockdown measures by the dutch government and if we can we willjust try measures by the dutch government and if we can we will just try to measures by the dutch government and if we can we willjust try to bring you some live pictures. no, apparently not quite yet, but they have been using water cannon and batten charges to break up those demonstrations. the dutch, a certain proportion of the dutch population very much against those lockdown measures. there was even a blast just a few weeks ago, actually, at the dutch covid test centre, which appeared to have been in as well. these pictures just into us in the last half an hour or so. let's return to one of our other major stories. the british—iranian woman, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who has just completed a five—year prison sentence in tehran, has again appeared in court to face new charges. she's accused of propaganda against iran, including taking part in a demonstration in london 12 years ago. nazanine's husband, richard ratcliffe, joins us now. another setback had more bad news. have you spoken to her since she appeared in court and how was she smack i have spoken to her this afternoon, yes.— afternoon, yes. and yes, she probably _ afternoon, yes. and yes, she probably was _ afternoon, yes. and yes, she probably was relieved - afternoon, yes. and yes, she probably was relieved that i afternoon, yes. and yes, shel probably was relieved that the afternoon, yes. and yes, she - probably was relieved that the court was over. as you say, she was in court on a charge of spreading propaganda against the regime. that has been hanging over her now for four years almost. that court case kept coming back and forward. so it happened, the final part of it, this morning. she met thejudge it, it was all quite calm. the judge said to her that he would be giving verdict within a week or so, so at least the court process is over and seeing the judge, least the court process is over and seeing thejudge, seeing her ring interrogates again, hopefully that is no more, at least. so we will await to see what comes next, but at least she hasn't got to go and face those trails. so least she hasn't got to go and face those trails-— those trails. so where is she now? back at her — those trails. so where is she now? back at her

so those trails. so where is she now? i back at her mum's and david's. so as you said in her intro, she finished a five year sentence last weekend and her ankle tag was taken off and as it was taken off she was given this new case. the past week she has been quite tense and stressed and we weren't sure it was going to be just one court hearing or a long, drawn—out game. and she actually went out for lunch with her mum and sister, so back at home and, you know, probablyjust trying to make sense and draw breath as to where we are. so sense and draw breath as to where we are. ., ., ., . ., are.

her experience was the beginning and that is when she was in solitary, that's when all the most military abuses were happening. but she is not safe, she is still in harm's way and she is still sitting facing an unknown sentence and an unknown length of time she's going to be helpful, so it is not a place where she can even if she can breeze that at least nothing more bad was going to happen today.

accompany her and help? suddenly, i thought dominic raab's comments as foreign secretary was strong and i am glad he did them. have certainly been asking him to do it and i think the government's tone has hardened over the last weeks. yes, we requested the british embassy row accompany her to court. they need permission to go into court, but they don't need permission to accompany her, and they declined to, so suddenly i felt that was something they could have done i would have sent an important message of protection. what done i would have sent an important message of protection.— message

have to say i think it protects her at all the other british citizens who are being held hostage, for want of are being held hostage, for want of a better phrase, if the government were a little bit more visible. so i'm glad the foreign secretary has made some visible statements. i think we do need to go beyond talk and interaction, that is something i will take up with him in the weeks to come. ~ , ., i. ~' to come. why do you think there isn't that follow-through, - to come. why do you think there isn't that follow-through, from l to come. why do you think there - isn't that follow-through,

are quite cautious. i am cautious. yeah, they are quite cautious. iam not cautious. yeah, they are quite cautious. i am not sure we always see eye to eye on the best approach to protecting nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe and protecting the others and certainly we have long called for a more robust approach in a variety of ways. i don't see nearly enough credibility and challenge for what is essentially torture and hostagetaking, which seems to happen with impunity. this noes seems to happen with impunity. this aoes back seems to happen with impunity. this goes back it — seems to happen with impunity. this goes back it seems to that arms due deal that wasn't completed back in the 1970s. deal that wasn't completed back in the 19705. £400 deal that wasn't completed back in the 1970s. £400 billion at the time, presumably with interest worth billions now. —— £400 million at the time. what official linkage has been accepted and made to you and nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe about the linkage to that case? and what are you urging the british government to do about that, bearing in mind america settled something similar only five years ago? settled something similar only five ears auo? ., . settled something similar only five earsaro? ., ., , years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled _ years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled a _ years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled a big _ years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled a big debt - years ago? you are exactly right. the us settled a big debt they i years ago? you are exactly right. i the us settled a big debt they owed to iran overan the us settled a big debt they owed to iran over an old arms trade in 2016 and six weeks later we were picked up. and certainly that has been the backlog all along to our case. behind closed doors, it probably depends who you ask as to what is acknowledged and what isn't. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe has been told by her interrogators and her prosecutor and the judge in charge of parole that she wasn't going to get out until it was paid. that has been our concrete experience. every time that debt case has come into court in london and hasn't been settled, then something bad has happened to us. where we go forward from this, i think the government has tough policy choices. i think they have to be very clear about how they have to be very clear about how they protect those british citizens, notjust nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, not just nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who notjust nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who are currently held over this issue and also make sure they dis— incentivise hostagetaking in the long run, so that iran doesn't keep on doing this. there is a problem. there are a number of citizens from britain, europe, the us who are being held as h by the regime there and it is a very dangerous state for the government to take hostages. just on his arms deal, when the americans paid, again, iran was under sanctions and the money, $1 billion plus, was paid in used banknotes. have you got any idea on if the british might be inching closer to settling that debt? is that something that you are hopeful of? ~ , ., ., , ., , that

be too close. and i hopeful? i think it probably feels like there is more than acceptance that that is an inevitable part of what needs to happen. there is a big court hearing on that in the end of april, so the conversation i had with the foreign secretary a couple of weeks back was to say, listen, that court case gets postponed again with you just have to tell us because we are going to have to face the consequences. and we will see what we see. but have to face the consequences. and we will see what we see.— we will see what we see. but 'ust auoin we will see what we see. but 'ust going

ou. g: ' ~, the headlines on bbc news. after last night's clashes between police and crowds during a south london vigil in memory of sarah everard the home secretary demands a report from the met by the end of the day. labour says it will vote against a bill in parliament this week that would give the police more powers to impose restrictions on non—violent protests. it wants the proposed legislation to be widened to address violence against women. the foreign secretary has made another call for the immediate release of british—iranian nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — after reports suggest she has appeared in court to face a new allegation of anti—government propaganda. well, she has appeared in court. sport now, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. thanks very much indeed, tim. the last six nations match of the weekend is under way — and it's set to be a cracker — scotland against ireland at murrayfield. the form book very much with ireland in this fixture — early points from jonny sexton followed by a tryjust seven minutes into the game from robbie henshaw. scotland still have a chance of winning the six nations, if they can claim victory in their remaining matches, with other results going their way. but ireland have won nine of their past ten encounters. that game is live on bbc one. scotland have pulled three points back, ireland lead 8—3. scotland have a game in hand in the tournament, after their last match vs france was postponed due to a covid outbreak in the french camp. england are looking to make it two wins from two. in their second t20 match of the series in india. batting first — eoin morgan's side are... currently 160—6. jason royjust four short of a half century for england... ..after a dreadful start for his opening partnerjos buttler — who was out first ball. opening partnerjos buttler — england are one up in the five match series. in the first of today's four premier league games — brighton have moved up to 16th in the table, three points clear of the relegation zone, after winning 2—1 at southampton. lewis dunk put brighton in front at st mary's with just quarter of an hour gone. it didn't take long for the home side to pull level, their in form striker che adams scoring his third goal in three games. but ten minutes after the break, leandro trossard got what turned out to be the winner. it's the first time in 11 matches that brighton have managed to scored twice. it was a deserved victory. full credit to the players, we had to adapt, we lost down at half—time to adapt, we lost down at half—time to a tight hamstring and still we had to adapt and i thought we did really well. the second half was a really good goal and when we had to defend, of course, you have to defend against a team that plays with a huge personality and intensity, but overall i am so proud of the players. three more premier league games today. sheffield united — who officially parted company with manager chris wilder yesterday — are into the second half at leicester. it is currently 1—0 to leicester in that one. the day's big match is the north london derby at the emirates at 4:30, while manchester united host west ham in the late game. former middleweight world champion "marvelous" marvin hagler has died at the age of 66. hagler dominated his division from 1979, until a controversial defeat by sugar ray leonard in 1987. the american won 62 of his 67 professionalfights — 52 of those by knockout. hagler�*s most memorable win was arguably in 1985, when he beat thomas "hitman" hearns in a fight known as the war. lee westwood will go head—to—head with american bryson dechambeau once again this evening — this time at the players championship in florida. westwood will take a two shot lead into the final day, after a bogey—free round yesterday, getting four birdies, including this one at the 17th. dechambeau just edged out westwood at the arnold palmer invitational last week. in an definitely not a two horse race. this is one of the toughest golf courses to front run on as well. you know, it is easy to lose your mind out there and lose perspective and get the situation gets out of and let the situation gets out of control on yourself and people can come from behind you so just to shoot a low round today... came from two under to ten under so it is possible round here and, like i say, it is a tough and running course. meanwhile, at the qatar masters, how about this for a way to win a tournament? antoine rozner of france was tied for the lead going into the last hole — and holed a 60ft putt to take the title. absolutely incredible! that is very much how it is done, isn't it? that's all the sport for now. that's not how i do it, i haven't done it for years like this. very much for that. that should go back to the clashes between the police and demonstrators at the sarah everard vigil on clapham common last night. there is a statement from the mayor of london, sadiq khan. scenes, he says, arising of the police protest and the jewel of sarah everard last night are completely unacceptable. my thoughts remain with the family at this time. it is three orfour paragraphs with the family at this time. it is three or four paragraphs long, but i willjust take you through it. i completely understand, he says, white women, girls and allies wanted to hold a vigil to remember sarah and all women who have been subjected to violence or lost their lives at the hands of men and to reclaim the public spaces where women are made to feel so unsafe. he continues, last week i called on the government and police to work with the organisers of the vigil to clarify the law and find a way for it to take place legally and safely. on friday, a high courtjudge made clear there was a window to agree a way for individual to go ahead safely. he goes on to say, i received assurances from the metropolitan police last week that the vigil would be policed sensitively. in my view, this was not the case. he goes on to say, i asked the commissioner and deputy commissioner to coming to city hall today to give me an explanation of yesterday's events and the days leading up to them. significantly, sadiq khan says, i am leading up to them. significantly, sadiq khan says, iam not leading up to them. significantly, sadiq khan says, i am not satisfied with the explanation they have provided. i will now be asking her majesty's expectora nt provided. i will now be asking her majesty's expectorant contemporary, majesty's expectora nt contemporary, hmrc, majesty's expectorant contemporary, hmrc, to conduct a full investigation of the events of yesterday evening and on previous days. i will also be asking the iopc to investigate the actions of police officers yesterday evening. it is vital, he says, that these events are not allowed to undermine the powerful calls since there are's murderfor meaningful powerful calls since there are's murder for meaningful action to finally stop men inflict violence on women. it was clear before yesterday that there isn't adequate trust and confidence from women and girls in the police and criminaljustice system more widely. further steps must now be taken to address this. so the key part in that statement is that he asked the commissioner and deputy commissioner to come into city hall today to give an explanation of yesterday's events and the days leading up to it, and crucially, he says, i am and the days leading up to it, and crucially, he says, iam not satisfied with the explanation they have provided. we know that the home secretary priti patel has asked for a statement to be on her desk, presumably virtually, by the end of the day as well, but we were speaking to sir peter fahy a little earlier from formerly of manchester police, who were saying that the law is not clear and that is the trouble. there are grey areas for the police. around 2 million venerable people are being sent text from nhs england this weekend urging them to book their grain vaccination. those with pre—existing medical condition such as diabetes or surgical pants have not yet received a letter from their gp will be able to make an appointment via a link. here's our health correspondent anna collinson. keira lawrence has a learning disability, she was nervous about getting vaccinated so on the day, told the nurse. i told her i did not like needles and sheep prepared it away from me and she prepared it away from me and she came from behind me and as she was doing it, my husband was there to talk to me and distract me. my message for those people who are afraid of having the jab is don't be worried, don't be scared. there are calls for millions more vulnerable people with underlying health conditions to follow her lead. more than 7 million people are in group six and have been prioritised because they are more likely to become seriously unwell from coronavirus. the group includes those with underlying health conditions like cancer and heart disease, their carers and people with learning disabilities. as part of a renewed call to help some of the most vulnerable, leading charities, including mencap, have published an open letter urging them to consider booking their coronavirus jab. overall more than 23 million people have now been vaccinated, but there still a long way to go. but there is still a long way to go. this morning, the republic of ireland announced it was suspending using the oxford astrazeneca jab afterfour people in norway developed blood clots. the uk regulator insists available evidence did not suggest the vaccine was the cause. the vaccine roll—out has been a success, but that doesn't mean covid—19 will not continue to pose a threat. we need also to recognise this is a virus that is not going to go away and i have no doubt that in the autumn, there will be a further wave of infections. so as restrictions continue to be lifted, like the reopening of schools in england this week, the scientific community will be watching the data closely for any causes for concern. anna collinson, bbc news. you are watching bbc news. just mm moment ago we read out the statement from mayor of london, sadiq khan. wejust had some copy from the home secretary priti patel, asking her majesty's inspectorate of constabulary to look into the policing of the vigil on clapham common last night. we were saying that she has asked for a report from the met to be on her desk by the end of the day. pa, i think it is now, yes, the association saying that priti patel has seen a report from the met commissioner and is understood to believe some questions still need answered. she wants an external view of the decisions taken. actually that's not from epa, this is from nick eardley, in the past couple of minutes, so basically the home secretary secretary has seen that initial report from dane cressida dick, the commission of the metropolitan police, but is understood to believe some questions still need answered. music's biggest night of the year — the grammy awards — take place in los angeles tonight. but, because of the pandemic, it won't be the same star studded red carpet event we're used to. our west coast correspondent, sophie long, has been speaking to some first time british nominees who will be watching from afar. # shining through the city with a little funk and soul # so imma light it up like dynamite, whoa—oh—oh... # dynamite immediately became a record—breaking song on multiple platforms for k—pop band bts. it's earned a grammy nomination for them and for the london duo who wrote it. wow, we've got a grammy nomination. so, getting a grammy nom on a song that we wrote over zoom in lockdown and in the midst of a pandemic has just got to be a silver lining to any dark cloud and any terrible year, so, yeah, we're just so, so happy. it wasjust, like, a mad like... surreal, yeah. ..surreal 20 minutes of watching it and a buzz, and then suddenly it was just like — back to real life! back to work, yeah. keep it moving. david and jessica have written hundreds of songs together. they kind of knew this was a little different. we understood how huge bts were. we knew that it was their first ever english—speaking song, which was a major thing that we were like, "i think this is it." and then it only got more and more exciting when we see the visual, we see the video, and we was like, "this is like nothing we could ever imagine." it's just the levels of this is like nothing that we've ever worked on before. in los angeles, the stage is being set for bts to perform on sunday night, but due to the pandemic, jessica and david will be watching thousands of miles away in london. sophie long reporting there. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. with the exception of norht—east scotland staying mostly dry today, elsewhere, we are seeing some rain for a time. that will eventually reach those parts of eastern england. it will stay dry for much of the day. this evening, clearing away and a few showers in the south—west. largely clear overnight for eastern scotland and north—east england, that is where we will have the lowest temperatures. this is where there is a greater chance of seeing a touch of frost going into the morning, whereas elsewhere, temperatures staying well above freezing. it's in the west tomorrow that we will see most of the cloud for northern ireland, wales, western parts of england into western scotland. that cloud increases. chances of seeing patches of rain, whereas the eastern scotland and down the eastern side of england, it will stay dry with plenty of sunny spells around. the winds tomorrow are lighter and in fact continue to ease as we go through the day and the temperatures are a bit higher, so if you do get to see some sunshine, it is going to feel a little bit warmer. high pressure building in, not completely dry in the week ahead, certainly drier. the headlines. shame on you! after last night's clashes between police and crowds during a south london vigil in memory of sarah everard, the home secretary demands a report from the met by the end of the day.
