good morning. manchester city were in complete control in the champions league last night. they beat german side borussia monchengladbach 2—0 and cruise comfortably into the quarterfinals. good morning. yesterday, wales and scotland had the warmest day of the year so far. it is not going to be quite as mild across the board today, although it still will be mild. for many, dry with sunshine about showers in the south—east. details later. good morning. it's wednesday, the 17th of march. the health secretary has insisted the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine is safe, and urged all uk citizens to get the jab as soon as it is offered. matt hancock was speaking after sweden and latvia became the latest european countries to stop offering the vaccine following safety concerns. dan johnson has more. across europe there are questions... ..about the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, as more countries suspend its use. in italy, vaccination centres stand empty whilst presumably, coronavirus keeps spreading. the concern is blood clots. astrazeneca says there have been 37 incidents of blood clots in the uk and eu. but that is following 17 millionjabs. in germany, seven rare clots in the brain and three deaths have been recorded. health officials there say the responsible move is to pause, investigate each case and re—evaluate. but the european medicine regulator says the overall rates of clots are actually lower than you would expect in the general population. and delays could mean more covid cases and more lives lost. the damage to confidence in the vaccine just seems a dreadful price to pay in order to signal some sort of, yes, we are looking at safety and we are erring on the side of caution. this isn't erring on the side of caution, it's throwing caution to the wind. in austria, one batch of the vaccine has been held back, while others are still being given, leaving some people like manfred concerned. i wouldn't recommend getting it for me. i'm a bit scared to get ill of the vaccine. but this woman is pleased she has had herfirst dose. if you get covid—19 and you have a really bad issues, you never know, then it's better to take it — vaccine take—up in the uk is among the highest in the world, and the message couldn't be clearer. the oxford—astrazeneca jab is safe. we know that over 10 million people have had it in this country. and that's what the british regulator says. but also the world health organization, and even the european regulator. a european safety review will be published tomorrow. france has said if it gets the all clear it will restart immediately. for some countries this is about being careful to ensure confidence in vaccination programmes. but there is also awareness that doubts about vaccines can be just as contagious as viruses. if one spreads, so will the other. dan johnson, bbc news. more than 70,000 uber drivers across the uk will start receiving the minimum legal wage from today, along with paid holiday and pension rights. it follows a ruling in the uk supreme court which could have a significant impact on the so—called "gig economy" for freelance workers. 0ur transport correspondent caroline davies reports. it was the company that shook up the system. but the system seems to have caught up with uber. after last month's verdict by the supreme court, it's announced that all of its drivers will be classed as workers. for years politicians and unions have said you have been playing fast and loose with employment rights. does this not prove they were right all along? i think the situation for employment in the uk has been ambiguous for some time by government. you have taken advantage of those ambiguities, haven't you? we have worked as hard as we can to try and provide drivers with a good way of earning, the flexibility they want and the protections they have. but we can now go further than we have gone before because of the clarity of the supreme court ruling brings us. drivers will still be able to work where and when they want. the company's minimum wage only applies once a driver accepts a right. are passengers going to see their fares rise, because this will be costly to you? so we're not expecting to raise prices at the current time. we absolutely want to price competitive. so is this going to come out of the drivers' income instead? where is that money going to come from? 0ur expectation is actually we can grow the business by treating drivers well, bringing drivers onto the platform, and also, by growing with the cities as they unlock. 0ne drivers' union was pleased. i wish they'd had done those five years ago. i wish they'd had it listened then. however, they appear to be listening now. and this is a tremendous victory for working people in this country. this decision could have implications across the gig economy. uber is probably the most well known and potentially the biggest player in the gig economy. and other operators will be looking closely at this and thinking, well, after six years of litigation, uber had to give in to the inevitable and agree that their drivers were workers. so we probably need to be doing the same. this move is a fundamental change and it is one that will be closely watched around the world. caroline davies, bbc news. eight people have been killed in a spate of shootings at three massage parlours in the us city of atlanta. at least six of the victims are understood to be women of asian heritage, and police say it's likely that the same gunman was responsible for all three attacks. a 21—year—old man is being questioned. hair salons and garden centres in scotland will be allowed to open from april the 5th, under a lockdown easing plan announced by first minister nicola sturgeon. residents will have to stay in their own local authority area until april 26th, when shops and gyms will also reopen. 0ur scotland reporter alexandra mackenzie is at a garden centre in glasgow. i know some people will be delighted there are changing rules coming along?

many planters were vandalised, shunted out of the way orjust driven around. and in the process it has set neighbour against neighbour. the street that i'm on had over a million cars passing my front door in a year. it meant that i couldn't sleep properly. you're pushing your problem, and you're pushing it with everyone else's road, onto very, very few roads. this is allowing people to have fresh air, cleaner air and choices about how they get from a to b. there are four schools on the main roads that are now chugging down a massive amount of pollution. but your plan is to rip them all out. and then we just want to have the status quo. consultation is a really fair way to do things. i agree, yeah. and there has been no consultation for these ones that have been implemented. low traffic neighbourhoods are being introduced across the country. manchester has closed more than 20 city centre streets in the last year, and has said it wants nine out of every ten journeys into the city to be by foot, bike or public transport within ten years. we have an existential crisis with climate change. we have a health epidemic. down here? yeah. olympic gold winning cyclist chris boardman is greater manchester's walking and cycling commissioner. 20 billion more miles being driven around homes now than there were just ten years ago. and if we consulted on that, there would have been a much bigger uproar than there is for low traffic neighbourhoods. of course, the pandemic means traffic volumes have plummeted. but in the coming weeks, as the coronavirus restrictions begin to lift, that is going to change. and remember, there are strict limits on how many people can travel on buses, trams and trains. it's been a thoroughfare for 200 years. but now, you're not allowed to go through. ijust don't get it. so the controversy over traffic reduction measures is only likely to intensify. justin rowlatt, bbc news, manchester. thatis that is fascinating. i imagine you would want _ that is fascinating. i imagine you would want to _ that is fascinating. i imagine you would want to get _ that is fascinating. i imagine you would want to get in _ that is fascinating. i imagine you would want to get in touch -

"we need to know", is the headline on the guardian front page, which says there is increasing pressure on number 10 to trigger an inquiry into the handling of covid—19. the paper says senior doctors, government scientists and a former civil service chief have backed a public inquiry into the uk's management of the pandemic. there is some good news in the daily mirror, which says "coronavirus is on the run" in its headline. the paper says deaths have plummeted by 86% in the over—80s after vaccine successes. and the front page picture on the telegraph is of the duke of edinburgh, 99, who has left hospital in good spirits after a four—week stay. the german newspaper bild is reporting "astrazenichaos". the government in germany has paused its roll—out of the oxford jab, despite the european medicines agency stating there is no indication the vaccine causes blood clots. the front page of the paper reads, "government on the defensive as experts criticise the measures". there is one headline i want to talk about. remind me later to talk to you about the masters of the universe. later on. don't look too excited. a quick one for you. curry house in glasgow has teamed up with a

find out more today about whether you'll need to prove you've had a covid jab and a recent negative test. the information could be held on a so—called digital green certificate, which has already been dubbed the vaccine passport, and for the tourist industry in countries like greece and spain, it can't come soon enough. guy hedgecoe reports from benidorm. the beaches of benidorm. normally brimming with tourists at this time of year, covid has left them virtually empty. it's a year since spain introduced a strict lockdown. more recently, partial restrictions on movement and social activity have remained in place. for businesses such as the cimbel hotel, the impact has been enormous. the most important market is the uk market. the second is from belgium, from holland, from the east of europe, from france. and nobody coming. nobody�*s coming now. the clients, they don't have the trust to make the reservation. last year, spain received 65 million fewer tourists than normal. with tourism representing nearly 15% of the spanish economy, gdp shrank more than any other countries in europe. this restaurant owner is among those desperately hoping the worst is over. translation: we need - guarantees that this summer we'll be able to work. we can't go back to more restrictions, because if we do go back, then we are finished. but many in the sector see hope in the shape of a proposed covid passport, aimed at easing travel for those who have received eu approved vaccines. according to reports, the new certificate will be available on paper and in a digitalformat. the idea is that it will provide information about any vaccines that the holder may have received, but it will also show the results of any covid tests they may have undergone, and show whether or not they have actually had the virus. the importance of this travel certificate is definitely very much for southern european countries, which are the main destinations, in summer, of northern european countries. that travel certificate will benefit both sides and hopefully, will start slowly, slowly to recapture all the traditional tourism flows. some countries have expressed ethical and logistical concerns about such a document. but spain is hoping it will be up and running as early as mid—may. if the vaccine passport does come into use before peak season kicks in, it could transform the summer both for tourists and national economies. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, benidorm. we will be talking about that later in the programme. we are going to return to the story about uber. uber has said it will give its

drivers. they are now entitled to holiday pay and pension. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm alison earle. the families of dozens of london bus drivers who died during the pandemic are demanding a public enquiry into alleged failings. 51 drivers have died in the last year. their families want to know why safety measures like screens and rear passenger boarding took a month to introduce following lockdown. transport for london says every death from coronavirus is a tragedy and that safety measures are in place. bus drivers were told, you don't need masks at the outset of lockdown. we need to know why that was and why there wasn't a better, you know, more cautious approach. and why, you know, lives like my dad weren't thought valuable enough to, you know, have that kind of safety first approach. the national portrait gallery will boost its representation of women when it reopens. it's closed until 2023 for redevelopment, but the plan is to highlight women who have shaped british history and culture. the gallery said it's a chance to tell overlooked stories and build on their commitment to gender equality. many have taken up hobbies during lockdown, but one woman has turned part of a wall into a local attraction in south london. for the past 10 months, beth walk has been decorating a victorian bootscraper in clapham, with mini displays and characters. people loved it. people started adding things to the scene. we would find all kinds of things in here. i have had messages from people, reaching out saying how happy it's made them. people have changed their routes to walk or run past here, to check—in all the time. let's take a look at the travel situation now... there's a good service on most limrd this morning. minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. around 40 bus routes across west, south west and south london operated by london united are disrupted because of industrial action. shepherds bush — goldhawk road is down to one lane in each direction because of water works near the tube station now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. for many of us, it's a bright start this morning. some hazy sunshine. the cloud is going to increase. high pressure of course still in charge. the cloud coming around the top and feeding in from the north. on that cloud, especially towards the east, middle part of the day, we mightjust get one or two patches of light rain. some light showers. through the afternoon, the cloud thins and breaks. we will see some bright spells returning and maybe glimpses of sunshine. temperatures today still reasonably mild, between 11 and 13 celsius. overnight tonight, the cloud becomes more widespread. again, largely towards the east, we are at risk of maybe some light, patchy rain and drizzle. minimum temperature between 4 and 6 celsius. it's going to stay largely cloudy as we head into thursday. again the risk of some light patchy rain, some drizzle towards the east. however it could spread in a bit further west. on friday, we pick up a north—easterly breeze, and that means the temperature gets a little chillier towards the end of the week and into the first part of the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and louise. hello. this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning... a documentary about the life and death of the tv presenter caroline flack airs on channel 4 tonight. we'll speak to the director and one of caroline's close friends, who features in it. the musician midge ure will be telling us why he wants more support for those working in the live entertainment business, which has had such a tough year. and we might be looking forward to the end of lockdown — but our new puppies may not be so keen. we'll be getting some tips from the dog trainer graeme hall, on how to leave your faithful friend home alone for what may be the first time in a year. european countries are hoping to get some clarity tomorrow on whether they can continue to use the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine. the world health organisation says the jab is safe. despite that assurance, 18 countries have stopped using it for now, after a small number of people suffered blood clots. dr veronique trillet—lenoir is a

thrombosis, astrazeneca came back and said there were 37 cases that had happened in 11 millionjabs. in general practice of about 10,000 people, you get about ten a year. if you did that extrapolation, we would be expecting at least 1001 month to happen. 37 seems quite low to me and i do not understand where the issue. in germany, this thrombosis is more rare but much more common in people aged about 50. the vaccination has not been used in those over 65 and has not been used in younger people, so you are dealing with that entire population. when you look at that sevenis population. when you look at that seven is how many they have had, and you would expect about six. we will find to my label say all is ok. the who said all is ok. —— tomorrow. interesting you said that. i saw the leader

sally is here to take us through quite a lot of sport. one word after the manchester city game, control. they have cruised through to the quarterfinals of the champions league. they beat german side borussia monchengladbach 2—0 in budapest. the match being played in hungary because of coronavirus travel restrictions. city led 2—0 after the first leg and quickly went further ahead after this great goal from kevin de bruyne. pep guardiola was certainly plesed with that one. and his team doubled their lead just five minutes later. phil foden with the break and then ilkay gundogan with the goal. meanwhile, 13—time champions real madrid made their way through to the last 8. they beat italian side atalanta 3—1 in spain. that's a 4—1win on aggregate. chelsea take a 1—0 lead into their second leg against atletico madrid tonight. staying with football... england will be without goalkeeper jordan pickford for their three world cup qualifiers this month. the everton keeper is out with an abdominal injury he suffered in everton's defeat to burnley last weekend. pickford will miss the games against san marino, albania and poland, as well as everton's fa cup quarter—final against manchester city. manchester united women are to play a match at old trafford for the first time. united will host west ham in the women's super league a week on saturday. currently third in the table, they've yet to play at the stadium since reform in 2018. no time to rest for rachel blackmore at cheltenham. she became the first woman to win the champion hurdle at the festival yesterday. she's back in the saddle today, and rides 'notebook�* in the day's big race — the queen mother champion chase. blackmore guided the favourite honeysuckle to victory for trainer henry de bromhead. last year's runner—up sharjah was second again, with the 2020 winner epatante, third. this was never even a dream. it was so far from what i ever thought could happen in my life. to be in cheltenham, riding the winner of a champion hurdle, it's so far removed from anything i ever thought would be possible. maybe there's a lesson in that for everyone out there. isn't that just? i isn't thatjust? i am going to listen to her. particularly pay attention today. england now have the advantage in their t20 series against india. they beat the home side by 8 wickets in ahmedabad to take a 2—1 lead in the 5 match series. england got off to the perfect start, taking wickets early on before virat kholi steered his side to 156—6. but that never looked like being enough, with jos buttler leading from the front for england. he finished not out on 83, as england made it home with 10 balls to spare. i did think it was straightforward at that time. i think a quite different wicket to the ones we have played on. i think the different soil, so it seemed to have more bounce in this wicket. actually, a little bit of a play off it. getting under the lights, it maybe got a bit better. lots of credit has to go to the guys who bowled first up. to take three wickets in a power play is fantastic. it really sets the game up from that. great britain and ireland's 3—match hockey series ended level, after the final game finished all—square at 1—1 in belfast. the series is being used as a warm—up ahead of the olympics this summer. ireland took the lead through roisin upton, and it was only four minutes from time that gb managed to draw level. izzy petter with the equalizer. the teams will meet again at the olympics in tokyo. team new zealand have won sailings most prestigious prize, the americas cup. they've beaten the luna rossa team in the last few hours in their best—of—13 series. racing off the coast of auckland, they were roared on by huge crowds. new zealands prime minister jacinda ardern was amongst to congratulate the team, saying they've made the country proud. tiger woods has left hospital three weeks after breaking his leg and ankle in a car crash in california. the 45—year—old golfer is now recovering at home in florida. he wrote on social media that he was "so grateful for the outpouring of support and encougement received over the past few weeks he also thanked all the staff at the medical centres where he was treated saying "you have all taken great care of me and i cannot thank you enough" encouraging words from tiger woods just coming through in the last couple of hours. good luck with his continued recovery. do you want to be a punjudge? i mentioned a curry house planning on delivering carries by drain. you can have plain naan, vindaflu. a chilly start to the day. frost across parts of wales, northern ireland. also fog in northern ireland. also fog in northern ireland around oxfordshire and staffordshire. for many of us it will be a dry day with sunshine and ap showers in the east. high pressure is dominating the weather. —— a fe showers. a weather front drifting south, taking showers with it. this morning rain across parts of scotland. that will slip south and peter out eventually. a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine. we could see showers getting into notjust east anglia and the south—east but also around the greater london area and the home counties. they are showers and not all of us will see them. if you are thinking of dipping your toe into the north sea, you'll be taking it out pretty quickly. it is only 6 degrees. there is an adverse impact on the temperatures along the north sea coastline. temperatures will be 14, 15. particularly the west country, south wales and the west midlands. this evening and overnight there will be a few showers in the south east. the cloud will fill in and there will be drizzle in north—west scotland and northern ireland. when we have had their clear skies by day, we will have clear skies by day, we will have clear skies by day, we will have clear skies and the lowest temperatures by night. a touch of frost in the midlands and also wales and south—west england. tomorrow we start with a lot of cloud. still some spots of rain in the far north of scotland. rain in the far south of scotland. rain in the far south of england as well. the brighter skies will be in the east of scotland and north—east england, where we will have highs of 12 and 13. in the south we are looking at 14 degrees as top temperature. by the end of the week, i pressure still firmly in charge of the weather. we still have mild air across the north—west of the uk. note how a subtle change in wind direction bring in chilly air across the south east. it will be colder thanit the south east. it will be colder than it has been. on friday still a fair bit of sunshine across the south—east and quarter of the uk, getting into the south—west. in the north—west of the uk, it is likely to have more clout. temperature —wise, eight in lerwick, 13 in glasgow and ten in london. you can see the temperature in the south—east has slipped a touch. more nippy if you are in the breeze. as for the ensuring couple of days, saturday and sunday, a bit more of the same. still a bit of cloud around. bright spells as well. the temperatures are nothing to write home about. still we are looking at ten as the top temperature. thank you very much. not quite summer holiday whether yet. we're going to be talking them now. we're looking ahead to our summer holidays this morning, and our chances of potentially getting abroad with a so—called vaccine passport. nina's here with more on how that might happen. morning, nina. i don't know about you but all everybody is talking about is holidays and group holidays on my whatsapp group. yes, good morning and welcome to dockside at breakfast cruises. today we're talking about travel and as you say, potential vaccine passports — proof that you've had the jab to get away. do you remember these extraordinary images this time last year of the diamond princess? cruise ships became a symbol of how serious the virus was. the travel industry has since spent most of the last year in a state of shutdown with foreign travel at record lows. it seems like this ghost ship liner has become a tourist attraction in its own right. but there are hopes the jab will reopen the world to tourism. p&o are, this morning, just the latest travel company to announce a requirement that passengers on some of their trips can show they have had the vaccine. saga have already announced similar rules for all of their holidays while british airways have said they're working on a covid passport app. and later today, the european union is expected to outline proposals for what they're calling a "green certificate," so eu travellers can show they've had the vaccine. it's only in its initial stages but is a sign that the countries are thinking about how to welcome tourists again. so is this something we're going to be seeing more of? and what else can you expect to see if you're heading off on a cruise later this year? paul ludlow, president of p80 cruises

from bbc london, i'm alison earle. the families of dozens of london bus drivers who died during the pandemic, are demanding a public enquiry into alleged failings. fifty one drivers have died in the last year. their families want to know why safety measures like screens and rear passenger boarding took a month to introduce following lockdown. transport for london says every death from coronavirus is a tragedy and that safety measures are in place. bus drivers were told, you don't need masks at the outset of lockdown. we need to know why that was and why there wasn't a better, you know, more cautious approach. and why, you know, lives like my dad weren't thought valuable enough to, you know, have that kind of safety first approach. the national portrait gallery will boost its representation of women when it reopens. it's closed until 2023 for redevelopment, but the plan is to highlight women who have shaped british history and culture. the gallery said it's a chance to tell overlooked stories. many have taken up hobbies during lockdown, but one woman has turned part of a wall into a local attraction in south london. for the past ten months, beth walk has been decorating a victorian boot scraper in clapham, with mini displays and characters. people loved it. people started adding things to the scene. we would find all kinds of things in here. i have had messages from people, reaching out saying how happy it's made them. people have changed their routes to walk or run past here, to check—in all the time. let's take a look at the travel situation now. around 40 bus routes across west, south west and south london operated by london united, are disrupted because of industrial action. kingston road is flooded by a burst watrer main by tolworth station and bus garage. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. for many of us, it's a bright start this morning. some hazy sunshine. the cloud is going to increase. high pressure of course still in charge. the cloud coming around the top and feeding in from the north. on that cloud, especially towards the east, middle part of the day, we mightjust get one or two patches of light rain. some light showers. through the afternoon, the cloud thins and breaks. we will see some bright spells returning and maybe glimpses of sunshine. temperatures today still reasonably mild, between 11 and 13 celsius. overnight tonight, the cloud becomes more widespread. again, largely towards the east, we are at risk of maybe some light, patchy rain and drizzle. minimum temperature between 4 and 6 celsius. it's going to stay largely cloudy as we head into thursday. again the risk of some light patchy rain, some drizzle towards the east. however it could spread in a bit further west. on friday, we pick up a north—easterly breeze, and that means the temperature gets a little chillier towards the end of the week and into the first part of the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: the government insists the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine is safe, after more european nations pause its use. the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine is saving lives in the uk right now. so if you get the call, get the jab. the taxi—hailing app uber will pay its uk drivers a minimum wage, holiday pay and pensions following a landmark supreme court ruling. and we might be looking forward to the end of lockdown — but our new dogs may not be so keen. we'll be getting some tips on how to leave your faithful friend home alone for what may be the first time in a year. manchester city were in complete control in the champions league last night. they beat german side borussia monchengladbach 2—0 and cruise comfortably into the quarter—finals. good morning. for many of us today it is going to be dry with some sunshine. cloud in the north and west later. and some showers in the south—east. all of the details in ten minutes. good morning. it's wednesday, the 17th of march. our top story. the health secretary has insisted the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine is safe and urged all uk citizens to get the jab as soon as it is offered. matt hancock was speaking after sweden and latvia became the latest european countries to stop offering the vaccine following safety concerns. dan johnson has more. across europe there are questions... ..about the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, as more countries suspend its use. in italy, vaccination centres stand empty whilst presumably, coronavirus keeps spreading. the concern is blood clots. astrazeneca says there have been 37 incidents of blood clots in the uk and eu. but that is following 17 millionjabs. in germany, seven rare clots in the brain and three deaths have been recorded. health officials there say the responsible move is to pause, investigate each case and re—evaluate. but the european medicine regulator says the overall rates of clots are actually lower than you would expect in the general population. and delays could mean more covid cases and more lives lost. the damage to confidence in the vaccine just seems a dreadful price to pay in order to signal some sort of, yes, we are looking at safety and we are erring on the side of caution. this isn't erring on the side of caution, it's throwing caution to the wind. in austria, one batch of the vaccine has been held back, while others are still being given, leaving some people like manfred concerned. i wouldn't recommend to get it now for me. i'm a bit scared to get ill of the vaccine. but this woman is pleased she has had herfirst dose. if you get covid—19 and you have really bad issues, you never know, then it's better to take it. vaccine take—up in the uk is among the highest in the world, and the message couldn't be clearer. the oxford—astrazeneca jab is safe. we know that over 10 million people have had it in this country. and that's what the british regulator says. but also the world health organization, and even the european regulator. a european safety review will be published tomorrow. france has said if it gets the all clear it will restart immediately. for some countries this is about being careful to ensure confidence in vaccination programmes. but there is also awareness that doubts about vaccines can be just as contagious as viruses. if one spreads, so will the other. dan johnson, bbc news. more than 70,000 uber drivers across the uk will start receiving the minimum legal wage from today, along with paid holiday and pension rights. it follows a ruling in the supreme court which could have a significant impact on the so—called gig economy for freelance workers. our transport correspondent caroline davies reports. it was the company that shook up the system. but the system seems to have caught up with uber. after last month's verdict by the supreme court, it's announced that all of its drivers will be classed as workers. for years politicians and unions have said you have been playing fast and loose with employment rights. does this not prove they were right all along? i think the situation for employment in the uk has been ambiguous for some time by government. you have taken advantage of those ambiguities, haven't you? we have worked as hard as we can to try and provide drivers with a good way of earning, the flexibility they want and the protections they have. but we can now go further than we have gone before because of the clarity the supreme court ruling brings us. drivers will still be able to work where and when they want. the company's minimum wage only applies once a driver accepts a ride. are passengers going to see their fares rise, because this will be costly to you? so we're not expecting to raise prices at the current time. we absolutely want to remain price competitive. so is this going to come out of the drivers' income instead? where is that money going to come from? our expectation is actually we can grow the business by treating drivers well, bringing drivers onto the platform, and also, by growing with cities as they unlock. one drivers' union was pleased. i wish they'd had done those five years ago. i wish they'd had it listened then. however, they appear to be listening now. and this is a tremendous victory for working people in this country. this decision could have implications across the gig economy. uber is probably the most well known and potentially the biggest player in the gig economy. and other operators will be looking closely at this and thinking, well, after six years of litigation, uber had to give in to the inevitable and agree that their drivers were workers. so we probably need to be doing the same. this move is a fundamental change and it is one that will be closely watched around the world. caroline davies, bbc news. eight people have been killed in a spate of shootings at three massage parlours in the us city of atlanta. at least six of the victims are understood to be women of asian heritage, and police say it's likely that the same gunman was responsible for all three attacks. a 21—year—old man is being questioned. the number of people sleeping rough in england may be nine times the government's official estimate, according to a new report from a cross—party committee of mps. it said the true extent of the problem was revealed during last year's effort to provide accommodation for homeless people during the pandemic. mark easton reports. because of covid we've got these new hotels now. the everyone in scheme is praised by the mps for moving quickly and decisively to house people sleeping rough during the first lockdown last spring. but the numbers taking advantage of the policy suggest the true scale of street homelessness is many times greater than was previously acknowledged. the housing ministry's last official estimate before the pandemic suggested around 4200 people were sleeping rough on england's streets. but today's report notes more than 37,000 street homeless, almost nine times as many, had been helped into accommodation by january this year. the government is committed to providing 3,300 extra homes for people sleeping rough by the end of this month. but the public accounts committee notes what it calls "disappointing evasiveness" from ministers as to whether the promise will actually be met, and whether the accommodation will be a genuinely new addition to housing stock. everyone in was a success in that it got people from the streets very quickly into temporary accommodation. the challenge now, and the real need, is to make sure that is permanent accommodation. the government says it wants to do this, so we're saying there are a number of things they need to do to fund it, provide certainty of funding and make sure there's permanent housing provided for these people so they don't go back onto the streets. the mps' report concludes that the ministry of housing still has no plan for ending rough sleeping by 2024, as it has promised, and risks failing to capitalise on the successes of the everyone in scheme. the ministry of housing has said it rejects the unfounded criticisms contained in the report and remains committed to ending rough sleeping. mark easton, bbc news. prolific burglars, robbers and thieves are to be tagged with gps trackers in a bid to stop them re—offending. 250 offenders — who have served at least a year in prison — will have to wear the device for up to 12 months after being released. the ministry ofjustice scheme is being trialled in areas including humberside, the west midlands and gwent. energy customers could get an automatic annual refund if they overpay their gas and electricity providers by direct debit. the regulator, 0fgem, wants to limit the amount of customer credit which suppliers can hold, and is proposing an average return of £65 per household. suppliers say they'll look at the plans in detail. us intelligence officials have accused the russian president, vladimir putin, of authorising attempts to sway last yea r�*s presidential election in favour of donald trump. a report, published today, claims moscow spread "misleading or unsubstantiated allegations" about the eventual winner, joe biden. russia has repeatedly denied allegations of election interference. those are some of the main stories around this morning. it is ten past seven and it is wednesday morning. carol has some lovely blue sky for us. good morning. some of us will be seeing skies like this today. a fair bit of sunshine in the forecast, although through the day we will see more cloud developed. we have also got some showers in eastern areas. this morning we have showers in parts of northern scotland, the south—east. a few showers in east anglia through the day, and the south—east. potentially we could see some of those around the greater london area and also around the home counties. you can see the extent of the cloud this morning across oxfordshire and shropshire lifting. hazy sunshine. cold frost in northern ireland giving way to some sunshine. in the west of northern ireland and the west of scotland, the cloud will thicken. some drizzle will come out of that. maximum temperatures eight in lerwick, 14 and 15 in the west country, south wales and the west midlands. it is in these areas where we will have the clear skies by night. that is where we will have the lowest temperatures and a touch of frost. we can see where the cloud bills. drizzle in the north—west. showers in eastern part of england. we start tomorrow with those showers in the south east and also east anglia. a lot of dry weather. some drizzle in the north—west. the best of the sunshine will be eastern scotland and north—east england, with highs of 14. thank you, carol. let's return to our top story now — and those 18 european countries which have stopped using the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, despite assurances from the world health organization that it's safe. denmark was the first country to stop giving out the jab over concerns it caused blood clots. seventeen others — including germany, italy, france and spain — have nowjoined the list. a european safety review will be published tomorrow. sir kent woods is the former chief executive of the medicines and healthcare regulatory agency, and a former chair of the european medicines agency. hejoins us from he joins us from leicester. hejoins us from leicester.

stirling, where nick eardley has been talking to voters ahead of the scottish parliamentary elections in may, for the latest in the bbc�*s power and the people series. he found issues on the agenda there include income tax, the environment and independence. as a new day breaks in stirling, things continue to feel a bit uncertain. like so much of the country, the pace of life has slowed during the pandemic. but in the next few weeks, as society gradually opens up again, campaigning for the scottish parliament elections will pick up, too. and there's a lot to weigh up. what's going to be the big issue at the election for you guys? independence! book shop owners jasmine and leanne think the constitution will be crucial in may. it's literally the divide between scottish politics and english politics, or british politics. they're not the same. the countries are very different. obviously, there are more pressing issues, like getting the nhs back on its feet. so those are issues that are obviously important. i feel like it shouldn't have to be said that those things are important. but why should we not be allowed to rebuild the country in a way that is in nd the scottish people's interest? if scotland can do their own thing, i feel like the country would flourish. around this city there are reminders the independence question is nothing. polls these days suggest support for leaving the uk is on a knife edge. brexit seems to have been a key reason, but so is the pandemic. the big decisions on lockdown have been made by the scottish government. ministers have admitted mistakes have been made, but polls suggest voters are happier with the decisions here than those made in london. thanks forjoining us again today. cameron runs a distillery in the shadow of the castle. the last few months have been choppy. may the 6th, the thing that's got to be the priority for scotland, is getting the economy going again and getting hospitality, getting tourism back up and working together that way, because at the end of day, one of scotland's biggest assets is tourism, and we need to get people back coming to visit. forget about independence. let's get the economy come back. if that's a question further down the line, that's another question. independence has been a key dividing line in scottish politics over the last few years. but this election is also about policy, because the scottish parliament makes some really significant decisions, which have a big impact on how much income tax people pay, on the health service, on education and much more. the voting age for scottish parliament elections is 16 — lower than general elections. that means ella and shannon are voting for the first time in may, and they have a lot on their minds. someone that's going to be looking at the climate, particularly, because as much as the pandemic is really important, the climate has kind of been pushed aside. in the future, there are going to be consequences. there needs to be a plan on how we can combat that. the amount of people that have lost jobs, that have been seen to be deemed to go back into poverty, it's a very hard time for people, and especially the mental impact, the mental impact of everything that's happened through this pandemic. it's about having a good recovery from that as well. who's in charge of that recovery, getting these streets moving again, will be key in may. but there's a lot more for voters in scotland to think about when they cast their ballots. nick eardley, bbc news, stirling. you are watching bbc breakfast. we have you are watching bbc breakfast. , have got kwasi kwarteng in a few minutes. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. pop up good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. alison earle. the families of dozens of london bus drivers who died during the pandemic are demanding a public enquiry into alleged failings. 51 drivers have died in the last year. their families want to know why safety measures like screens and rear passenger boarding took a month to introduce following lockdown. bus drivers were told, you don't need masks at the outset of lockdown. we need to know why that was and why there wasn't a better, you know, more cautious approach. and why, you know, lives like my dad weren't thought valuable enough to, you know, have that kind of safety first approach. transport for london says every death from coronavirus is a tragedy and that safety measures are in place. the national portrait gallery will boost its representation of women when it

garage. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. for many of us, it's a bright start this morning. some hazy sunshine. the cloud is going to increase. high pressure of course still in charge. the cloud coming around the top and feeding in from the north. on that cloud, especially towards the east, middle part of the day, we mightjust get one or two patches of light rain. some light showers. through the afternoon, the cloud thins and breaks. we will see some bright spells returning and maybe glimpses of sunshine. temperatures today still reasonably mild, between 11 and 13 celsius. overnight tonight, the cloud becomes more widespread. again, largely towards the east, we are at risk of maybe some light, patchy rain and drizzle. minimum temperature between [i and 6 celsius. it's going to stay largely cloudy as we head into thursday. again the risk of some light patchy rain, some drizzle towards the east. however it could spread in a bit further west. on friday, we pick up a north—easterly breeze, and that means the temperature gets a little chillier towards the end of the week and into the first part of the weekend. that's it for now. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. i'll be back in an hour. hello. this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. matt hancock has insisted the oxford

"if you get the call, get the jab" — that's the message from the health secretary, matt hancock, who insists the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine is safe. so does the world health organization. but an

cruised through to the quarter—finals of the champions league. they beat german side borussia monchengladbach 2—0 in budapest. city led 2—0 after the first leg and quickly went further ahead after this great goal from kevin de bruyne. ruthless and efficient — city doubled their lead just five minutes later. phil foden with the break and then ilkay gundogan with the goal. we cannot be better. like i said before, we will be judged for the titles we can win or left. today is good. we are going to celebrate it. 20 players, a composer. everything can change immediately. meanwhile, 13—time champions real madrid made their way through to the last 8. they beat atalanta 3—1 in spain. that's a 4—1win on aggregate. chelsea take a one nil lead into their second leg against atletico madrid tonight. manchester united women are to play a match at old trafford for the first time. united will host west ham in the women's super league a week on saturday. currently third in the table, they've yet to play at the stadium since reforming in 2018. no time to rest for rachel blackmore at cheltenham. she became the first woman to win the champion hurdle at the festival yesterday. she's back in the saddle today, and rides 'notebook�* in the day's big race — the queen mother champion chase(oov) in the day's big race — the queen mother champion chase. blackmore guided the favourite honeysuckle to victory for trainer henry de bromhead. last year's runner—up sharjah was second again, with the 2020 winner epatante, third. this was never even a dream. it was so far from what i ever thought could happen in my life. to be in cheltenham, riding the winner of a champion hurdle, it's so far removed from anything i ever thought would be possible. maybe there's a lesson in that for everyone out there. england now have the advantage in their t20 series against india. they beat the home side by 8 wickets in ahmedabad to take a 2—1 lead in the five—match series. england got off to the perfect start, taking wickets early on before virat kholi steered his side to 156—6. but that never looked like being enough, with jos buttler leading from the front for england. he finished unbeaten on 83. i did think it was straightforward at that time. i think a quite different wicket to the ones we have played on. i think the different soil, so it seemed to have more bounce in this wicket. actually, a little bit of a play off it. getting under the lights, it maybe got a bit better. lots of credit has to go to the guys who bowled first up. to take three wickets in a power play is fantastic. it really sets the game up from that. team new zealand have won sailing's most prestigious prize, the americas cup. they've beaten the luna rossa team in the last few hours in their best of 13 series. racing off the coast of auckland, they were roared on by huge crowds. new zealand's prime ministerjacinda ardern was amongst the first to congratulate the team, saying they've made the country proud. tiger woods has left hospital three weeks after breaking his leg and ankle in a car crash in california. he wrote on social media that he was he also thanked all the staff at the medical centres where he was treated. he goes on to say, now the hard work and the recovery really begin. very good luck to him. thank you very much indeed. thank you to all of you sending in pictures of your lockdown pets. i promised you ali i wanted to talk about masters of the universe. it is now a good time? no. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. that was a cracker! a chilly start in northern ireland and wales where there is a touch of frost. patchy patchy fog around. we will see sunny spells with showers in the east as the cloud begins. this hole in the cloud is an area of high pressure. you can see the cloud across our shores. we have high cloud this morning. chilly on the north sea coast. what has been happening this morning as we have had rain moving across northern scotland, tending to peter out now. as the clad dickens through the day in the east of england, here we will see some showers. —— as the cloud begins. a nice, sunny start. high cloud to contend with. for some, the sunshine will be hazy. it will thicken across scotland and northern ireland. we are likely to see showers across the southeast and east anglia. many of us will miss them. some remaining across south—west england, south west midlands, south wales. that is where we will hang onto it for the longest. across north—western parts of northern ireland and north—west scotland. pick enough for the odd spot of drizzle. in newcastle, the top temperature will be 11 with the highest temperature likely to be in the south—west, at 15 degrees in cardiff. overnight we will hang on to clear skies in the south—west. low temperatures and pockets of frost. elsewhere, the cloud will continue to fill in. still showers across eastern england. there will still be drizzle across north—west scotland and the north—west of northern ireland. high pressure still remains in charge tomorrow. it dominates a bit more. this weather front on the north sea will produce showery outbreaks of rain, sweeping down into east anglia and the south east. generally a cloudy picture. the best breaks across parts of central and eastern scotland and also north east england. here, temperatures 11 to 1a degrees. further south, we are looking at eight to 1a degrees. killer on the north sea coastline. on friday, more of a north—westerly coming in across the south—east towards the south—west. it will feel more chilly but not cold. we will see more sunshine coming through and we will lose their showers. in the north—west of the country, it is your turn to see more cloud. in the north, ten to 13 degrees. it is chasing the cloud breaks generally over the next few days, which will be our issue. if you're hoping to take a holiday somewhere in the european union this summer, we should find out more today about whether you'll need to prove you've had a covid jab and a recent negative test. the information could be held on a so—called "digital green certificate" — which has already been dubbed the "vaccine passport" — and for the tourist industry in countries like greece and spain, it can't come soon enough. guy hedgecoe reports from benidorm. the beaches of benidorm. normally brimming with tourists at this time of year, covid has left them virtually empty. it's a year since spain introduced a strict lockdown. more recently, partial restrictions on movement and social activity have remained in place. for businesses such as the cimbel hotel, the impact has been enormous. the most important market is the uk market. the second is from belgium, from holland, from the east of europe, from france. and nobody coming. nobody�*s coming now. the clients, they don't have the trust to make the reservation. last year, spain received 65 million fewer tourists than normal. with tourism representing nearly 15% of the spanish economy, gdp shrank more than any other countries in europe. this restaurant owner is among those desperately hoping the worst is over. translation: we need - guarantees that this summer we'll be able to work. we can't go back to more restrictions, because if we do go back, then we are finished. but many in the sector see hope in the shape of a proposed covid passport, aimed at easing travel for those who have received eu approved vaccines. according to reports, the new certificate will be available on paper and in a digitalformat. the idea is that it will provide information about any vaccines that the holder may have received, but it will also show the results of any covid tests they may have undergone, and show whether or not they have actually had the virus. the importance of this travel certificate is definitely very much for southern european countries, which are the main destinations, in summer, of northern european countries. that travel certificate will benefit both sides and hopefully, will start slowly, slowly to recapture all the traditional tourism flows. some countries have expressed ethical and logistical concerns about such a document. but spain is hoping it will be up and running as early as mid—may. if the vaccine passport does come into use before peak season kicks in, it could transform the summer both for tourists and national economies. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, benidorm. we will be talking about that with nina later on. you might be fed up of the lockdown but — if you own a dog — they're probably living their best life right now, with company around—the—clock. but with more of us returning to school and work, that's about to change for many dogs — who could be about to experience separation anxiety for the very first time. let's find out how we can help them. graeme hall is a dog trainer — and the presenter of channel 5's "dogs behaving very badly" — and heather saunders is

cruise comfortably into the quarterfinals. good morning. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far across parts of scotland and wales. today it will be mild across the board, not as mild as yesterday. a lot of dry weather, some sunshine and showers in the east. details in ten minutes. good morning. it's wednesday, the 17th of march. our top story. the health secretary has insisted the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine is safe, and urged all uk citizens to get the jab as soon as it is offered. matt hancock was speaking after sweden and latvia became the latest european countries to stop offering the vaccine following safety concerns. dan johnson has more. across europe there are questions... ..about the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, as more countries suspend its use. in italy, vaccination centres stand empty whilst presumably, coronavirus keeps spreading. the concern is blood clots. astrazeneca says there have been 37 incidents of blood clots in the uk and eu. but that is following 17 millionjabs. in germany, seven rare clots in the brain and three deaths have been recorded. health officials there say the responsible move is to pause, investigate each case and re—evaluate. but the european medicine regulator says the overall rates of clots are actually lower than you would expect in the general population. and delays could mean more covid cases and more lives lost. the damage to confidence in the vaccine just seems a dreadful price to pay in order to signal some sort of, yes, we are looking at safety and we are erring on the side of caution. this isn't erring on the side of caution, it's throwing caution to the wind. in austria, one batch of the vaccine has been held back, while others are still being given, leaving some people like manfred concerned. i wouldn't recommend to get it now for me. i'm a bit scared to get ill of the vaccine. but this woman is pleased she has had herfirst dose. if you get covid—i9 and you have really had issues, you never know, then it's better to take it. vaccine take—up in the uk is among the highest in the world, and the message couldn't be clearer. the oxford—astrazeneca jab is safe. we know that over 10 million people have had it in this country. and that's what the british regulator says. but also the world health organization, and even the european regulator. a european safety review will be published tomorrow. france has said if it gets the all clear it will restart immediately. for some countries this is about being careful to ensure confidence in vaccination programmes. but there is also awareness that doubts about vaccines can be just as contagious as viruses. if one spreads, so will the other. dan johnson, bbc news. our chief political correspondent adam fleming is in

wage from today, along with paid holiday and pension rights. it follows a ruling in the supreme court which could have a significant impact on the so—called "gig economy" for freelance workers. our transport correspondent caroline davies reports. it was the company that shook up the system. but the system seems to have caught up with uber. after last month's verdict by the supreme court, it's announced that all of its drivers will be classed as workers. for years politicians and unions have said you have been playing fast and loose with employment rights. does this not prove they were right all along? i think the situation for employment in the uk has been ambiguous for some time by government. you have taken advantage of those ambiguities, haven't you? we have worked as hard as we can to try and provide drivers with a good way of earning, the flexibility they want and the protections they have. but we can now go further than we have gone before because of the clarity the supreme court ruling brings us. drivers will still be able to work where and when they want. the company's minimum wage only applies once a driver accepts a ride. are passengers going to see their fares rise, because this will be costly to you? so we're not expecting to raise prices at the current time. we absolutely want to remain price competitive. so is this going to come out of the drivers' income instead? where is that money going to come from? our expectation is actually we can grow the business by treating drivers well, bringing drivers onto the platform, and also, by growing with cities as they unlock. one drivers' union was pleased. i wish they'd had done those five years ago. i wish they'd had it listened then. however, they appear to be listening now. and this is a tremendous victory for working people in this country. this decision could have implications across the gig economy. uber is probably the most well known and potentially the biggest player in the gig economy. and other operators will be looking closely at this and thinking, well, after six years of litigation, uber had to give in to the inevitable and agree that their drivers were workers. so we probably need to be doing the same. this move is a fundamental change and it is one that will be closely watched around the world. caroline davies, bbc news. eight people have been killed in a spate

year. when temperatures get into double figures, that is when the levels will be high. you might find that today because many of us will be in double figures. the forecast is one of sunny spells where the showers in the east. a lot of dry weather to start with. some rain crossing scotland will peter out. more cloud developing through the day across eastern england. showers in east anglia, the south—east, the home counties and greater london for a time. through the afternoon the cloud will thicken in north—west scotland and north parts of northern ireland. thick can offer some drizzle. cool along the coasts, the north sea coastline. but if you are in the sunshine, in the south—west, the west midlands, south wales, you could see temperatures up to 15 degrees. that will feel quite pleasant. this evening and overnight there will be some showers of the south—east. still a fair bit of cloud and more cloud developing. where the cloud is broken, for example in the west country, that is where the cabbages will be lowest and we will see pockets of frost. there is no heat wave overnight anywhere. tomorrow, we have a band of rain coming in from the north sea. it extends across the south—east. we could see some heavier bursts across lincolnshire and yorkshire. not particularly heavy. towards the west we still have all this cloud. the best breaks likely to be across parts of central and eastern scotland, and north—east england. top temperature tomorrow 1a degrees. back to you. degrees. backto ou. ., degrees. backto ou. . , , back to you. we are still friends over here. _

is lots of information there about different organisations. we're looking ahead to our summer holidays this morning, and our chances of potentially getting abroad with a so—called vaccine passport. nina's here with more on how that might happen. morning, nina. yes, good morning. it is one of theseissues yes, good morning. it is one of these issues as we come out of the pandemic, there are more questions than answers. it holidays what so many people desperately want. good morning. welcome to salford dockside at breakfast cruises. today we are talking travel and vaccine passports, meaning proof you've had the jab in order to get away. do you remember these extraordinary images this time last year of the diamond princess? cruise ships quickly became a real symbol of how serious this virus was, as passengers found themselves trapped and quarantined in floating coronavirus hotspots. the travel industry has spent most of the last year shut down, with foreign travel at record lows. scenes like this ghost ship liner off the south coast have become tourist attractions in their own right. but there are increasing hopes now that the vaccine will resurrect tourism over the coming weeks. p&0 this morning become the latest travel company to announce a requirement that passengers on some of their trips can show they have had the vaccine. that does mean children, those awaiting their second jab at those who opt out of vaccination, will not be allowed on board. earlier i spoke to the company's president, paul ludlow, who told me they're expecting the uk government to have introduced a scheme to show you've been vaccinated. so when people book they don't need to prove their vaccination but when they travel they will need to prove they travel they will need to prove they are vaccinated. this is moving at pace. so we anticipate by the 27th ofjune, which is ourfirst sailing, there will be a government accredited scheme to prove your vaccination. but at the very least then, of course, illiterate from your gp will suffice. —— mike a letter. saga have already announced similar rules for all of their holidays, while british airways have said they're working on a covid passport app. and later today, the european union is expected to outline proposals for what they're calling a green certificate, so eu travellers can show they've had the vaccine. it's only in its initial stages, but is a sign of the appetite to reopen to tourists again. so is this something we're going to be seeing more of? and is it time yet to get booking that summer getaway? let's talk to simon calder, the travel editor of the independent. good morning. lovely to see you as ever. good morning. p&0, saiga, ea... crammy kwateng said this morning on behalf of the government, nothing is

but for goodness' sake, if you are booking a deal, make sure it is package, make sure insurance protected because things are so fluid. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. the families of dozens of london bus drivers, who died during the pandemic are demanding a public enquiry into alleged failings. 51 drivers have died in the last year. their families want to know why safety measures like screens and rear passenger boarding took a month to introduce following lockdown. bus drivers were told, you don't need masks at the outset of lockdown. we need to know why that was and why there wasn't a better, you know, more cautious approach. and why, you know, lives like my dad weren't thought valuable enough to, you know, have that kind of safety first approach. transport for london says every death from coronavirus is a tragedy and that safety measures are in place. the national portrait gallery will boost its representation of women when it reopens. it's closed until 2023 for redevelopment, but the plan is to highlight women who have shaped british history and culture. the gallery said it's a chance to tell overlooked stories. many have taken up hobbies during lockdown, but one woman has turned part of a wall into a local attraction in south london. for the past 10 months, beth walk has been decorating a victorian bootscraper in clapham, with mini displays and characters. people loved it. people started adding things to the scene. we would find all kinds of things in here. i have had messages from people, reaching out saying how happy it's made them. people have changed their routes to walk or run past here, to check it all the time. let's take a look at the travel situation now. lots of issues on the tube. around a0 bus routes across west, south west and south london operated by london united are disrupted because of industrial action. kingston road is flooded by a burst watrer main by tolworth station and bus garage. between streatham common and norbury there's a lane closed on streatham high road southbound because of a collapsed manhole. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. for many of us, it's a bright start this morning. some hazy sunshine. the cloud is going to increase. high pressure of course still in charge. the cloud coming around the top and feeding in from the north. on that cloud, especially towards the east, middle part of the day, we mightjust get one or two patches of light rain. some light showers. through the afternoon, the cloud thins and breaks. we will see some bright spells returning and maybe glimpses of sunshine. temperatures today still reasonably mild, between 11 and 13 celsius. overnight tonight, the cloud becomes more widespread. again, largely towards the east, we are at risk of maybe some light, patchy rain and drizzle. minimum temperature between [i and 6 celsius. it's going to stay largely cloudy as we head into thursday. again the risk of some light patchy rain, some drizzle towards the east. however it could spread in a bit further west. on friday, we pick up a north—easterly breeze, and that means the temperature gets a little chillier towards the end of the week and into the first part of the weekend. that's it for now. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it is that time of day. we are here until 9:15am. this is a particular favourite. morning live is on bbc one at 9.15am. let's find out what's on today's programme with kym and gethin. we love chatting to you as well. coming up on morning live... there's been lots of talk about blood clots, but would you know how to detect one? dr rupy aujla reveals the signs and symptoms to watch out for. and he'll also be answering your questions so please get in touch. plus, with charities warning that lifting lockdown could trigger a rise in anxiety, we'll be talking to 6 foot 6, former rugby star niall breslin who is now "tackling" mental health. he'll be showing us some simple coping techniques that you can do from the comfort of your couch. and, couches are just one of the things a third of us throw away that could've been re—used. today, we look at one charity that's notjust saving rubbish from landfill but also saving lives by giving homeless people a second chance. and of course, it's st patrick's day! hgppy happy saint patrick's day. pubs would usually be packed but obviously not today. and with the news that some bars — and restaurants — could force customers to pay in advance when they do reopen. we're asking would you be happy to pay before you eat? i'm sure anna haugh will have plenty to say on that! she has had plenty to say about my jumper this morning. the she has had plenty to say about my jumper this morning.— jumper this morning. the fact it is not green- — jumper this morning. the fact it is not green.

gear because janette manrara will be putting you through your paces. i have heard a rumour that somebody might be taking part in it for the first time ever, kym marsh. all that and more at 9:15am. you heard it here first. strictly rumours. strictly gossip, right here. thank you. you are still banned by yourfamily, for ever. i am still on a banning order. you've probably noticed an increase in rush—hour traffic in recent weeks, and our roads are going to get busier as the lockdown continues to ease. in london, however, one in 20 people now live in a "low traffic neighbourhood" — where bollards and fines are supposed to keep cars out. in theory, at least. the schemes have been extremely controversial in the capital — and now there may be one coming to a street near you. our chief environment correspondent justin rowlatt can tell us more. he's in west london. they really have proved, people are on different sides with this. good mornine. on different sides with this. good morning- they — on different sides with this. good morning. they are _ on different sides with this. (song morning. they are incredibly divisive. i am at a barrier in ealing. i have been communicating with various people. i got an e—mail from a london counsellor last night. i will read it because it gives a sense of the passions it has generated. he said... i only entered politics to try to give something back to my community. i had never experienced such vile, pernicious, vitriolic behaviour in my entire life that is surprising when you consider the intention of low traffic neighbourhoods is to calm traffic. traffic levels have been rising steadily over the past few years with more rat runs through residential neighbourhoods. the idea is to slow it down and make the street is here and make the air freshener, make it easierfor people to travel around. yet they have generated eerie. really it is no exaggeration to say theory. people are furious in areas of london and elsewhere in the country. take a look! communities have been divided. there have been death threats... ..vandalism and huge protests. all the result of attempts to get us to use our cars less. this is all for the cyclists and all for the middle classes and the crackpots. no! where does it say 'no entry'? passions are probably running highest in the london borough of ealing. if you take targeted air strikes on syria, brexit, coronavirus, of all of those, i would say low traffic neighbourhoods has been the most divisive issue that has inflamed like no other. so there are a couple of signs to mark the barrier, but the centre is open. drive through it and you'll be issued with £130 fine — 65 quid if you pay within two weeks. now, within weeks of opening these low traffic neighbourhoods, they had issued almost 6,000 fines and raised almost half a million quid. the initiative comes from westminster. the government has said cycling and walking should become the natural choice for shorter journeys. and when the pandemic struck, it gave local authorities new powers and new cash to change the road system. as britain returns to work, our cities could face daily gridlock if people choose to drive to work. in went planters and bollards to block the roads. and back came the complaints. my taxi driver has dropped me off here because he can't get through. it's absolute nonsense about saving people's lives and air quality. single women who need to get around to go places, _ are no longer able to get directly to their houses of residence. - many planters were vandalised, shunted out of the way orjust driven around. and in the process it has set neighbour against neighbour. the street that i'm on had over a million cars passing my front door in a year. it meant that i couldn't sleep properly. you're pushing your problem, and you're pushing it with everyone else's road, onto very, very few roads. this is allowing people to have fresh air, cleaner air and choices about how they get from a to b. there are four schools on the main roads that are now chugging down a massive amount of pollution. but your plan is to rip them all out. and then we just want to have the status quo. consultation is a really fair way to do things. i agree, yeah. and there has been no consultation for these ones that have been implemented. low traffic neighbourhoods are being introduced across the country. manchester has closed more than 20 city centre streets in the last year, and has said it wants nine out of every ten journeys into the city to be by foot, bike or public transport within ten years. we have an existential crisis with climate change. we have a health epidemic. down here? yeah. olympic gold winning cyclist chris boardman is greater manchester's walking and cycling commissioner. 20 billion more miles being driven around homes now than there were just ten years ago. and if we consulted on that, there would have been a much bigger uproar than there is for low traffic neighbourhoods. of course, the pandemic means traffic volumes have plummeted. but in the coming weeks, as the coronavirus restrictions begin to lift, that is going to change. and remember, there are strict limits on how many people can travel on buses, trams and trains. it's been a thoroughfare for 200 years. but now, you're not allowed to go through. ijust don't get it. so the controversy over traffic reduction measures is only likely to intensify. so there is the dilemma. nobody wants traffic going past the front of the house. pushing traffic away from side streets on two main streets with those people suffer disproportionately more traffic. as i said in the report, as traffic volumes begin to increase, as coronavirus regulations are lifted, we will see more pressure on low traffic neighbourhoods. this story will run and run, as they say. it well. people are getting in touch about it this morning. feisty arguments taking place. not only on the roads thatjustin was on but on social media about that precise topic. shall we talk to sally for some calm? manchester city are unstoppable. manchester city have cruised through to the quarter—finals of the champions league. they beat german side borussia monchengladbach 2—0 in budapest. city led 2—0 after the first leg and quickly went further ahead after this great goal from kevin de bruyne. ruthless and efficient — city doubled their lead just five minutes later. phil foden with the break and then ilkay gundogan with the goal. team new zealand have won sailing's most prestigious prize, the americas cup. they've beaten the luna rossa team in the last few hours in their best—of—13 series. racing off the coast of auckland, they were roared on by huge crowds. isn't it strange to see a crowd? new zealand's prime ministerjacinda ardern was amongst the first to congratulate the team, saying they've made the country proud. tiger woods has left hospital three weeks after breaking his leg and ankle in a car crash in california. he wrote on social media that he was "so grateful for the outpouring of support and encougement received over the past few weeks." he also thanked all the staff at the medical centres where he was treated... it is st patrick's day but it will be very bizarre at cheltenham. no time to rest for rachel blackmore at cheltenham. she became the first woman to win the champion hurdle at the festival yesterday. she's back in the saddle today, and rides 'notebook�* in the day's big race — the queen mother champion chase. blackmore guided the favourite honeysuckle to victory for trainer henry de bromhead. last year's runner—up sharjah was second again, with the 2020 winner epatante, third. i love what rachel said after that race. she never really expected to be in this position that she thought if she could show people at home anything is possible, she wanted to do that. she did stop anki. —— she did. thank you. if you were watching breakfast yesterday, you might have seen our discussion about the extremely difficult year which the theatre and live entertainment industry has endured. it's notjust actors who are suffering but also those who tend to get less limelight — the technicians, stagehands, costume designers and musicians. now some stars of the stage and screen are backing a campaign to get more help for their backstage colleagues. what are we without stories? i remember that moment of feeling utterly connected to something else...to the world. i remember going to the theatre as a kid. performing. words come often, - the dancing, the stories. isn't it all about the stories? i remember going home thinking that this is for me, this is where i belong. family. this is where i belong. all the people that made it possible, i rememberthinking, they're like family. that's just some of those involved. we'rejoined now by musician midge ure, who is also supporting the campaign. always lovely to have you on the programme. how has the last year been for you and those who work around you in the industry? by, been for you and those who work around you in the industry? a year aeo around you in the industry? a year ago today. — around you in the industry? a year ago today. i _ around you in the industry? a year ago today. i played _ around you in the industry? a year ago today. i played my _ around you in the industry? a year ago today, i played my last - around you in the industry? a year| ago today, i played my last concert in adelaide, australia. obviously, the main concern at that point was trying to get back home. i could not have been any further away from home. fora have been any further away from home. for a year, the infrastructure which enables us to go out and do what we do, whether it is music, comedy or theatre or whatever, there is an invisible army of people sitting twiddling their thumbs. left to fend for themselves. that is a really difficult thing to try to do. a bit like you. we turn on televisions and see you sitting on the sofa. there is an entire team of people behind you enabling you to do that. our big worry is, not only are these people really, really struggling. guys are very skilled technicians. they really struggling. in a purely selfish way, when i go back out on tour again hopefully next year, when i be able to do it? will those people still be around to enable me to do it? it is almost impossible for them to stand up and have their own voices heard, so we're helping them do it for them. we have a team. we are very lucky to have them as well. lots of people mentioned in the big deal about feeling like family. that is really important, isn't it? riff feeling like family. that is really important, isn't it?— important, isn't it? of course it is. as i important, isn't it? of course it is- as i keep — important, isn't it? of course it is. as i keep saying _ important, isn't it? of course it is. as i keep saying they - important, isn't it? of course it is. as i keep saying they are i important, isn't it? of course it is. as i keep saying they are an j is. as i keep saying they are an invisible team. theirjob is for you not to see them. when you turn up at a concert, whether an orchestra or whatever, you deal not want to see people hanging from the ropes, the ceiling, putting up lights and sound systems, laying out chairs for the orchestra or whatever. that is in the background. when you walk in, you should see a magical experience and go home with the magical experience in you. i keep thinking of ed sheeran standing with his acoustic guitar in wembley stadium. you'd think, 0k, he has the facility to do that, the ability to do that and the popularity to do that. it would be a very quiet and dark concert. if his infrastructure was not there, it would be impossible to do. ., . not there, it would be impossible to do. . , , . not there, it would be impossible to do. ., , . . ~' not there, it would be impossible to do. last year we were talking about the government _ do. last year we were talking about the government support _ do. last year we were talking about the government support package. i | the government support package. i think it was £1.57 billion, announced back injuly, 2020. it was widely praised at the time. announced back in july, 2020. it was widely praised at the time.— widely praised at the time. hasn't had any impact?
