convictions finally overturned. wembley beckons for leicester city, as they beat manchester united to reach the fa cup semifinals for the first time in 39 years. good morning. it's a fairly quiet today weather—wise, the best of the century and will be the south and east and for the rest of us it will be fairly cloudy. as we go through the week the weather is turning more unsettled. all the details coming up. it's monday the 22nd of march. our top story. two police officers suffered broken bones, and police vans were set on fire when a protest in bristol turned violent last night. thousands of people had gathered to demonstrate against the government's police and crime bill, which would give police more powers to restrict demonstrations. 0ur reporter andrew plant was there. in a protest against new police powers, it was soon police themselves who became the target. vans and a police cars set on fire, fireworks thrown into the crowd as around 1,000 protesters gathered in bristol city centre in what has been, police say, the worst violence the city has seen in years. there's a row of police blocking off what is the central police station here in bristol. but you can see at the end of the road, they've also blocked off now the end of this city centre street, but also the side roads, too. and they're doing it from behind, but there's still about 1,000 people in here. and now they're being left with nowhere to go. protesters here holding banners concerned, they say, that the uk is becoming a police state. the kill the bill march started in the early afternoon, but as night fell, the clashes began. projectiles thrown at officers in riot gear. we saw several people with head injuries being helped from the crowd. i think it's horrible. and i agree with the cause of the protesters, but i think this is not going to do anybody any good. several officers have been injured. the chair of the avon in somerset police federation said people's right to protest had been hijacked by protesters hell bent on violence. andrew plant, bbc news, in bristol. breakfast�*sjohn maguire�*s in bristol for us this morning. john, good morning. images clear up operation is taking place this morning, the council have got an army of people to clear up the mess. when we arrived just under an hour ago, the mess. when we arrived just under an hourago, the the mess. when we arrived just under an hour ago, the streets, well, the pavements were strewn with broken beer bottles, some of the leftovers from the protest, some of the banners, graffiti on a lot of the buildings around here as well. crews have been using pressure washers to clear up some of the graffiti. there is still some just down on the road. 0ne is still some just down on the road. one thing that struck me about this scene this morning, again, now cleared up, there was a huge number of stones, small stones that the most violent of the protesters were brought here and used to target the police station. just look above they are aware that boarding is, that has been put in place where the windows have been smashed butjust look above, you can see where that, i assume toughened glass, has been peppered and that is obviously where people throw —— were throwing stones at the police station last night. the crowd were eventually dispersed, and the like midnight am told, by police horses and police dogs as well. in terms of injuries last night, two officers were taken to hospital, one with a broken arm, one with broken ribs. we will hearfrom the chief constable of avon and somerset police today who will give us their take on what happened here last night. but clearly very disturbing scenes, and an extremely violent scene. one of the city hasn't seen for many, many years, i can tell you. we hasn't seen for many, many years, i can tell vom— can tell you. we will be back with john throughout _ can tell you. we will be back with john throughout the _ can tell you.

somerset police at some point. talks between the prime minister and eu leaders are expected this week, as tensions rise over vaccine supply. it comes after the eu threatened to ban the export of astrazeneca vaccines, unless the company increases its deliveries to the bloc. the government says the eu must allow the firm to meet its contractual obligations to the uk. a cut in the size of the army is expected to be announced later as part of the government's defence review. other changes include the phasing—out of old tanks, aircraft and ships to fund new equipment and technologies. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. the government says the armed forces of the future will be better equipped with troops supported by robots and drones able to operate in small teams anywhere in the world. it says they will be backed up by a new kind of army, skilled in information, electronic and cyberwarfare. but it will also be leaner. the size of the regular army is expected to be cut by as much as 10,000 to 70,000 troops. that may concern close allies like the us, who say size matters.— concern close allies like the us, who say size matters. quantity has a auali all who

some older ships early, briefly seeing a reduction in its surface fleet from 19 to 17 warships. and there is likely to be fewer of the us designed f 35jets than originally planned to fund investment into the development of a new british built fighter. the government insists this defence review will make the armed forces more agile and better equipped to fight the wars of the future. but they will be smaller. jonathan beale, bbc news. around 18,000 australians have been forced to leave their homes as heavy rain continues to cause severe flooding across new south wales. officials say the "one—in—a 50—year event" may continue all week. 0ur correspondent shaimaa khalil joins us now from sydney. thanks for being on the programme. and shaimaa, there is a sad irony here that many of the commnunities badly affected suffered from bushfires in previous summers? that's right. in one year, many of those communities will have had years of drought, they will have been hit by the bushfires, covid—19 and now this very heavy flooding. i'm in the town of windsor, north—west of sydney, one of the most heavily hit areas by the flooding. if i can show you what it looks like. this, believe it or not is the windsor bridge and you would be forgiven for not being able to make it out as a bridge but this is how high the river is, 13 metres. it has all but submerged. the buildings just beyond their i high app, the water is high up to the windows. this area is no stranger to flooding. locals have been telling us that they have seen nothing like this for decades. and this is happening after the bushfires and in the middle of the pandemic. the new south wales premier has said this earlier, she said, i don't know any time in the state history where we have had these extreme weather conditions in quick succession in the middle of the pandemic. and that is what is worrying health officials. 18,000 people have already evacuated, we've been speaking to families who have been packing up and ready to evacuate. that gathering of people in evacuation centres is bound to make health officials worry. and we are in the middle of the vaccine without, but with these roads and bridges submerged, it is bound to slow down. the bureau of meteorology is saying that the rain is not letting up for the next few days, so for many families, things will get worse before they get better. they

kazakhstan, but is being operated from a control centre 3,000 miles away — in oxford. 0ur science correspondent, jonathan amos, reports. there are now millions of pieces of discarded metal and other materials in orbit — everything from old rocket segments to accidentally dropped astronaut tools, even flecks of paint. the fear is that unless we start taking some of the bigger litter items out of the sky, they could hit and destroy the active satellites that provide our communications and weather forecasts. the international astroscale company, with a division in the uk, will demonstrate how this can be done. it'll use one satellite to magnetically grab another, a dummy in this instance, and pull it down to earth. the manoeuvres will be complex and the demonstration will have to take care that it doesn't itself produce unnecessary debris. the key bit is to capture a tumbling object. so if a satellite fails, it can quite easily start tumbling, you know, about maybe all three axes. and that makes it considerably harder to capture it. so that is our key technology. but also we are going to show a lot of autonomous control. astroscale is hoping a vibrant market will emerge this decade in which spacecraft owners contract other operators to either service and repair hardware in orbit, or tow it out of harm's way. this should keep orbits free and safe for everyone to continue using. jonathan amos, bbc news. as we have just said, that launch has literallyjust happened, and the last few minutes, we have at liftoff. let's go to kazakhstan. this is exciting! very exciting! the mission to clean up the space junk is launched. i can tell you, because of a tiny technical problem back here on earth, we haven't got it! things are happening in kazakhstan, but while we wait for those pictures, we can show you exmouth. look at this. this is the sun rising, a beautiful picture. we will be down talking about the rnli, which i always find very hard to say expect our

—2.5. but if you are under the cloud, like in belfast, temperatures are currently seven celsius. a chilly start but there is sunshine around around. there is also going to be a fair bit of cloud across the north and west. that cloud will be thick enough for some drizzle, particularly on the coasts in the hills. across southern areas including exmouth, moving up across eastern areas, we are going to see some sunshine, more cloud building through the day. temperatures 8 to 14 through the day. temperatures 8 to 1a celsius. as we head through the evening, there will be more cloud around than the nightjust gone. that means they will not be so much opportunity for the temperature to fall so we are not expecting any issues with frost. still some showers coming in on the coasts and hills come some drizzly conditions, some mist but not particularly cold. tomorrow we start off on a fairly cloudy note. still some showers out towards the north. and also to the west. latera towards the north. and also to the west. later a weather front comes in bringing more rain and with this the winds will pick up, there will be strong across the north—western quarter of the uk. gusts of up to 55 to 60 mph. so the weather is changing. a year into the pandemic that has left more than 2.5 million people dead worldwide, governments are still grappling with the right approach to control the spread of coronavirus. panorama reporterjane corbin has been comparing some of those responses, and asking who got it right. across the world, coronavirus has given governments the same challenge, but they have responded in very different ways. in south korea, the prime minister introduced strict rules even before there was a confirmed case. good afternoon, prime minister. translation: from the very start, | we put in place prevention measures to stop the same thing happening again, to stop history repeating itself. so the government acted in a much stronger way compared to the past. track and trace teams used cctv, mobile phone and credit card data to keep tabs on all confirmed cases and anyone they might have come into contact with. seen from the uk, these methods may appear too intrusive, but they haven't had to lock down in south korea, like we have. dale fisher, a specialist in infectious diseases based in singapore, says governments in the far east were by far the best prepared. if china has been brought to its knees injanuary, a country of1.1t billion, you had to treat this virus with incredible respect. it was like every country had to experience the problem before they would believe how big the problem was. in sweden, where the law guarantees people's freedom of movement, there were no strict rules, just advice. free from harsh restrictions, the virus spread, and it was the elderly living in care homes who were the most vulnerable. last april, thomas andersson, whose father, jan, was living in a care home, had a call telling him he had covid. thomas rushed to see him. i get into his room to say goodbye to him. they have drugged him with morphine in such a high level that he was not... i couldn't have any contact with him at all. he did... he didn't know i was there. thomas' father was being given end—of—life care rather than any treatment. it was only after he alerted the media that his father was put on a drip and started to get better. now he's doing well. he would be, uh... he would be dead if it didn't... if we didn't turn up. almost half of sweden's covid deaths have been in care homes. an investigation found that by allowing the virus to spread and denying some old people hospital care, the state had failed to protect the elderly. in the uk, the government considered a strategy similar to sweden's, but after predictions of a quarter of a million deaths, locked down instead. still more than 125,000 have died here. if you look at britain, what mistake did we make? translation: i need to answer that question carefully. - regarding covid, you might say that britain has been unsuccessful. perhaps early on, they underestimated the covid virus. the korean government was proactive. we put a lot of effort into earning people's trust and confidence so that people can trust the government and then they will participate fully in these measures. borisjohnson has said he regrets every life lost and that there will be opportunities to look back, analyse and reflect. for dale fisher, reflection is crucial. one of the worst things we can do is when this is over, we just go back to normal. if you don't learn from it, then history will repeat itself. jane corbin, bbc news. and you can watch covid: who got it right? 0n bbc one at 7pm this evening. let's take a look at today's papers. the telegraph leads with a threat from the eu to block uk—bound vaccine exports. the paper says borisjohnson has been forced into a "diplomatic push to will speak to secure supplies of the coronavirus jabs". the bristol post describes police in the city as "under siege", as demonstrators set fire to this van during a protest against the police and crime bill. itv presenter kate garraway has spoken to the daily mirror about her husband derek draper's treatment for coronavirus. she describes the moment her husband "reached breaking point", and told her he just couldn't go on. line of duty returned to our tv screens

with a very important story this morning. about the lives of people who have been seriously affected over the years. dozens of sub—postmasters who were convicted of fraud and theft will have their stories heard in the court of appeal today. this is one that i have written because i remember these stories, miscarriages ofjustice so clearly. good morning. today — hope for those post office employees who've had their lives effectively ruined by a computer glitch, that they'll finally clear their name. it all centres around a system called horizon — which was designed to help those who ran small post offices to keep track of the money going in and out of the business. but we now know there were major issues, which could cause the system to wrongly report significant accounting shortfalls — often indicating that thousands of pounds had gone missing. it was difficult for staff to challenge errors, and warnings that the system could be faulty were quickly dismissed by those in charge. so when the post office came looking for the missing money, hundreds of men and women were accused of wrongdoing. many were dismissed. between 2000 and 2015, as many as 900 postmasters were successfully prosecuted by the post office for fraud, theft and false accounting. they lost their livelihoods, their homes, their respect in the community — and some even went to prison. last year, seema misra told me about the day she lost her freedom. she was tried by a jury in 2010 after an audit found a £74,000 shortfall in her accounts. even on the judgment day i didn't bring my bag. they said to me to bring a bag, so i said, "why should i? because i won't get sentenced." because, definitely, why would somebody do that? because why would i get sentenced when i haven't done anything wrong? i won't be sent away. but you were. for how long? 15 months. on my son's tenth birthday. on my son's tenth birthday, i was 15 months. sorry. and you'd just found out that you were pregnant. yes, after been trying for the last eight years. i was so, so, so scared for my baby's health. what if somebody came and stabbed me? because people were self—harming, people were having drug issues. i was scared. but it kept me going — if i didn't have another life inside me, i would have done something to myself. it's since emerged that the post office became aware of bugs in the computer system, but didn't disclose them to court during trials. in 2019, seema and many others like her were vindicated by the high court, which ruled that the computer system was indeed flawed. and that's helped pave the way to today. after years of fighting, 41 sub—postmasters are having their stories heard at the court of appeal. they hope to clear their name. it's a significant day. paul harris is a solicitor for some of those in court today. yes, it has been horrific. one of my clients, she lost everything — she lost her business, she lost her home. she ended up living in a van outside in the street with her husband. another one was unable to get anotherjob again and gradually deteriorated before sadly dying. others have had their reputations in their local community completely tarnished, because the post office is often the focus of the local community — people go in there on a regular basis. and so people have suffered hugely and a number of them have also suffered health consequences as a result of this. cases will be heard throughout the week, so we won't know the final outcome for a little while. what we do know is that the post office is not going to challenge the vast majority of the appeals. what was really striking, even this is overturned, seema has missed out on so much. there emotional times they will never get back. but if these are all overturned it will be one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in british legal history. thank you very much.- justice in british legal history. thank you very much. talking about heston blumenthal, _ thank you

one—year anniversary of a loved one's death from covid—19, including the family of dr alfa saadu — who was one of the first doctors to die in london. his family have been reflecting on his life and the year they've had in lockdown without him. because so many people got in touch with me about my dad and the legacy he left, it made me reflect on what my legacy should be and what i want to leave, you know, and the impact i want to make in the world. and itjust... i think after he passed, it gave me a real renewed sense of purpose and meaning. the city of london police are urging people to secure their social media and email addresses after more than 15,000 accounts were compromised by criminal activity in the past year. officers say almost a quarter of victims were aged between 20 and 29. they advise people to use a strong password and have two—factor authentication to keep information safe. the demand for office space in central london has shrunk by over a quarter since the beginning of lockdown a year ago. office rental company, iwg says while demand has fallen by 26% in the city, it's increased by up to 175% in areas such as uxbridge and high wycombe. they say the high cost of living in london has impacted its recovery in demand. let's take a look at the travel situation now. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. weather—wise, it's looking fairly similar to how it was yesterday. now it's not too chilly a start to the morning — temperatures generally in low to mid single figures. plenty of cloud around for many to start off the day, but we will see some bright, some sunny spells emerge at times, variable amounts of clouds throughout the day and top temperatures reaching between 12 and 14 degrees celsius — 57 in fahrenheit — round about the average, really, for this time of year. and those higher temperatures will be where we see the best of the sunshine. the winds stay fairly light. it will, of course, stay dry all day and it's staying dry, too, overnight tonight. some clear spells about at times, the south—westerly wind is set to pick up. we'll see overnight lows of around three to five degrees celsius into tomorrow morning. now, tomorrow is staying dry, but it is looking a bit cloudier, so not quite so much in the way of brightness and sunshine. it will be breezier, too — as we head through the week, it will turn more unsettled and a touch cooler. nowjust before we go, on wednesday — as part of our election coverage — we'll be hearing from labours's sadiq khan and the conservatives' shaun bailey live on our 6.30 evening programme. the full list of candidates who say they will be standing for london mayor in the local elections on the 6th of may is on the bbc london website. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning...

making a difference? unfortunately we live in a global population and i we live in a global population and so we are influenced by lots of things we see on social media. the eu, some countries saying they don't want to vaccinate with the astrazeneca vaccine because of the risk of blood clots, which now the ema has categorically said there are no risk of blood clots and it is a safe and effective vaccine. people were put off and i have some patients who cancel their appointments and towards the end of the week when it came to friday, when the news broke that there might actually be a delay of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine because of the supply from india, some of my patients had a double think i thought, actually, iwill patients had a double think i thought, actually, i will have it! the problem is that we will be influenced by whatever we see and there will be misinformation and myths. myself and loves of my colleagues are working with an organisation to try to educate everybody around us. i try to produce literature and videos in urdu and punjabi and it is having that one—to—one and getting patients to have the companies. this is new, no one has ever been in a pandemic before and we are learning. the most important thing is to know that the vaccine, if you decline it, it doesn't matter, you can come back. it's notjust a one chance. you can always come back.— it's notjust a one chance. you can always come back. some suggestions over the weekend _ always come back. some suggestions over the weekend that _ always come back. some suggestions over the weekend that

i behaviour has changed. we will be elbowing each other rather than hand or kissing on the face or probably even toe—tapping. i think face coverings will be part of our normal stay because vaccine, yes, we know it protects you but our behaviour around viruses should not change. we are seeing a decline in norovirus, influenza, and we are also seeing now that people feel a bit nervous. i cannot imagine getting into a left or the underground as not having a face covering. i don't know about you but i think that sort of behaviour has to carry because the way to drive down viruses in the community will always come down to hand washing, face covering and keeping physical difference distance —— physical distance from people. if we are behaving and doing the right things we could have our nearest and dearest at home with us around christmas and new year, which would be phenomenal. christmas and new year, which would be phenomenal-— be phenomenal. stillthe is a long time of day _ be

send in the last photo that captured your life before lockdown — and we received more than a thousand. from the weddings held just in the nick of time, to the babies born as the pm addressed the nation, breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been hearing your stories. these are the moments just before everything changed. some moments are still inconceivable today. rob and tracy's wedding was a week before lockdown. very, very lucky. and i often say to rob, you nearly escaped, but i got you! another week and i might have escaped, but... laughter. these are the weddings that happened just in the nick of time. we were still hugging and kissing people at the wedding. you know, literally a week later we were told not to do these things. and these are the dresses yet to be worn. get your picture out, julia, show me the time before. that looks distinctly like a big basket of booze, julia. it was, it was. this was taken just as covid cut shortjulia's holiday in belgium. actually, that was one of two trolleys! laughter. the next time that i do a run like that it will be more to celebrate the hard work that everybody�*s done to get us out of this. photos show so many holidays cut short, so many last performances, so many last gigs. show me your pic, rich! there you go. the entire cast and crew of north staffordshire operatic society. priscilla, queen of the desert never even got to open. as we were all driving there, borisjohnson addressed the nation and told people not to go to theatres. you know, there was tears, there was hugging. they were absolutely devastated. it feels like yesterday and a thousand years ago at the same time. and then there are all the babies born, yet to be properly showed off. this was claire's baby shower a week before lockdown. as boris did his speech at eight o'clock that evening, claire's waters broke and oshane was born the following morning, so a proper, proper lockdown baby. first official day of lockdown. i have been furloughed most of the year and, you know... having that time with oshane and mum has been amazing, and i'll never get that time back again. yay! so many photos capture that last hug. it was angela's aunt and uncle, their 60th wedding anniversary. but at the time, you don't realise the importance of family occasions because it was just the norm and it was kind of taken for granted, really. a week later, as borisjohnson locked down the country, darren was rushed into icu. he had 20 minutes before he was put into a medically induced coma. we all had a call saying that was the last call that we were ever going to get from my dad. and he had to call his whole family saying he might not survive. it was awful. it was heartbreaking. and i still cry to this day thinking about that. i he survived, and went on to become the uk's most prolific plasma donor. but nine months after that last family gathering, covid took angela's father. he wasn't strong enough to fight it. behind so many photos, there is grief. this is him as a young man. pretty... pretty cool—looking man. in 1945, lawrence had parachuted into arnhem, just 18 years old. a week before lockdown, this was taken on his annual pilgrimage to the place he loved. in that moment there was a group of veterans in the schoolyard arms, where they went every year for the anniversary. theyjust absolutely had a ball. a week later, lawrence had died — of covid. and we couldn't be with him, and that really hurts. that really hurts. it's very precious, that picture, isn't it? yeah, yeah. it totally gives me comfort because that was where my dad wanted to be. these are the moments we all long to be in once again — the laughs, the family, the community. the moments before the separation. the isolation. the loss. take me back on your phone. scroll through. it was a special night because it's the festival of koli, which is celebrated by hindus. we started hearing people having the infection, so we weren't very sure. nobody was sure, actually. this was your last rave? yeah. it was brilliant — absolutely amazing, it was. we were just so grateful. it was kind of like not only- the last night but almost the last hug and everything, as well. the music was amazing, it was out of this world. everyone was hugging. it was euphoric. we were meant to do a dance and... we had practised for days and days! just to do the dance, we just met together. i mean, i think we had this - information that it's going to come, you know, the guidelines that i are coming in a couple of days ago. so we wanted to make i the most of it, and we did. hands up, who's desperate to go raving again? cheering. a spring equinox tells us we are marching towards a new summer. these are the moments we live in hope to find again. oh, go on — give us a blast on your air horn! air horn blasts. laughter, cheering. lovely to speak to all of those people. thank you to everybody who took part. people. thank you to everybody who took art. . , , ., , took part.

know _ if you are a fan of leicester. we now know the — if you are a fan of leicester. we now know the four team through to the semifinals of the fa cup, including leicester. chelsea and leicester through to the semi—finals after convincing wins — for leicester, it's the first time since 1982 they've gone this far in the competition. our sports correspondent natalie pirks was watching. manchester united headed to leicester, unbeaten in 29 away games. but it was the home side showing all the composure. unlike fred, whose blunder handed leicester an opportunity that ihea nacho wouldn't miss. but it only took one moment of quality from paul pogba for united to find an equaliser out of nowhere. that's a fine finish from mason greenwood. in the second half, though, united were yet again struggling with leicester's energy. fred couldn't get close to youri tielemans. leicester in front again. neither could dean henderson. on came the cavalry for united with four changes, but, just as they tried to find a spark, leicester's main man was unmarked and on fire. kelechi iheanacho has got himself another! iheanacho and the foxes are heading to wembley for their first semifinal in 39 years. and on this form, opponents southampton have a job on their hands. earlier in the day sheffield united battled hard against chelsea at stamford bridge, but in the end the blues' quality shone through. hakim ziyech puts it beyond doubt. 2—0, the final score. that sent chelsea on their way to a semifinal against manchester city. natalie pirks, bbc news. both semifinals are at wembley next month. arsenal manager mikel arteta said their premier league game at west ham would give him nightmares, after they had to come from 3—0 down to draw 3—3. the home side tookjust 32 minutes to score three goals — the in—form jesse lingard with their opener — that's why he's back in the england squad. but arsenal were a different side after the break — two own goals and this header from alexandre lacazette eight minutes from time won them a point. tottenham managerjose mourinho said it was a pity that it took their shock europa league exit for his side to produce the performance which gave them a 2—0 victory at aston villa. carlos vinicius putting them ahead — harry kane there scoring their second from the penalty spot. in scotland, the notoriously heated old firm match started with a show of solidarity. it's after rangers midfielder glen kamara was allegedly the victim of racism last week. celtic captain scott brown embracing him before kick off. the match ended in a 1—1 draw, but the champions elect had to come from behind. mohamed elyounoussi's diving header putting celtic ahead. their lead lasted only 15 minutes. alfredo morelos with his first goal in 15 old firm derbies. rangers still on course for an unbeaten premiership season. now, if you're a fan of women's football, we have some great news. the bbc has secured a new rights deal for the women's super league for the next three years. for the first time in the sport's history, the bbc will show live games from the wsl on bbc one and bbc two — starting from september this year. we are also quite excited about this! such good news. you have to see it to be it and it will be really inspirationalfor to be it and it will be really inspirational for loads of young girls, seeing it is a viable option to be a footballer.— to be a footballer. great news, thank you- _ to be a footballer. great news, thank you. good _ to be a footballer. great news, thank you. good news. - here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. hopefully some good news, as well. good morning. forsome, good news if you like sunshine because there is sunshine in the forecast. beautiful start today in nottinghamshire. lovely weather watcher is a picture of the sunrise. actually start if you have clear skies. sunny spells but if you are in the north and west of the country there is also quite a bit of cloud and the cloud will be thick enough some drizzle today, particularly on the coasts and hills. you can see across southern areas, to the east, that is where we will see them i am's share of the sunshine, a bit bubbling through the day. temperatures eight in lerwick to 14 in london. through this evening and overnight, if anything, more cloud developing, so not as cold start to the day tomorrow morning as this morning for some, and still a morning as this morning for some, and stilla fair morning as this morning for some, and still a fair bit of cloud and drizzle in the west in particular with showers, but these are overnight temperatures, not rolling away too low. into tomorrow, high pressure dominating the weather for the last week or so, slips off onto the last week or so, slips off onto the neocons in it. when difference coming from the atlantic and the isobars across the north west and —— north—western quarter. some drizzle in the hills and coasts and in the atlantic front, bringing rain through northern ireland and western scotland. with it, the wind will strengthen. across the north west it will be wendy. gusts up to 55, 60 mph across the northern isles, for example. as we head on through the course of the night and into wednesday, the night and into wednesday, the night and into wednesday, there were different things southwards as a fairly weak feature. the isobars slapped in so it will not be as windy. resting across south—west england through parts of wales, the midlands and into parts of eastern england as a band of cloud with some spots of rain. the cloud eventually getting into the south—east, but behind it a fair bit of sunshine, then our next system comes in from the west and that will also introduce more rain. as we move into thursday, the further south and east you are, the drier the weather will be. still some showers coming from the west, something heavier later in the day, quite brisk south—westerly wind and these are our temperatures. eight to 14. by the time you get to friday, temperatures will go down. showers coming into the west and some will be wintry on the hills as far south as dartmoor. all change.- as

this year, the rnli is gearing up for another busy summer season across britain's coastline. fiona lamdin is live on exmouth beach for us this morning, where new and returning lifeguard recruits are being put through their paces. it is gorgeous. good morning. good morninu. it is gorgeous. good morning. good morning- as — it is gorgeous. good morning. good morning- as you — it is gorgeous. good morning. good morning. as you say, _ it is gorgeous. good morning. good morning. as you say, we _ it is gorgeous. good morning. (emf. morning. as you say, we are on exmouth beach. behind me, those people are not buoys, they are swimmers without wet suits and it is probably about 7 degrees. this lot are at the returning lifeguards. i say returning, fingers crossed, albeit that they can pass this fitness test. poor people they are being filmed as they do it. lifeguards across the country are getting ready to return. we have been to bournemouth to see how they are doing it there. as lockdown eased lastjune, nearly half a million visitors headed to the coast in dorset. roads were gridlocked, beaches were full, and extra police officers were brought in as a major incident was declared in bournemouth. you can't even see the sand when there's that many people down there. in the water, it actually looks like a mexican wave — there's just that many people in there. last year rnli lifeguards saved 110 lives, and responded to over 10,000 incidents. it changed in a second. ijust tried to catch a wave on my bodyboard, missed the wave, went to stand up and i was just out of my depth. amanda and her 11—year—old son were bodyboarding at perranporth beach in cornwall when a flash rip tide started pulling her out. ajet ski came up towards me, another lifeguard. he told me to grab on and ijust couldn't — ijust had no energy left. and in his voice, he told me — he shouted at me to grab hold and i realised that it was my one chance. if i didn't grab hold of it, i would have perished. you know, my son would have gone home from that beach on his own. i don't even know how he would have got home from the beach. and without the rnli, i would be dead, i wouldn't be here today. and it was a similar story for dad—of—three ben. he was bodyboarding at perran sands beach in cornwall. i went from being probably waist height to over my head in a couple of steps. and then i could just feel myself being pulled really fast out into the sea. it's a lonely place to be when you're out there and you don't know if you're going to get the help, if people know that you're missing. i'll be honest, i didn't think he was going to survive. i kept losing him, his head would go down and i'd lose him for a few seconds. yeah, it was the scariest thing i think i've ever been through. i've never felt fear like i did in those few minutes. it was awful. nine, ten. 0k, she's not breathing, _ can we update the ambulance and let them know that we're doing cpr? it's early spring and we're still in third lockdown, and so beaches are pretty quiet. but these lifeguards have been out training for four hours, so they're fit and ready when the public return. it's been really tough. so all the pools have been closed, so we've had to go swimming in the sea with really thick, wet suits, boots, gloves, and it's been cold — like, six degrees over the winter. so it's been tough, but we've kept a good level of fitness. ok, so this summer we're expecting the staycation factor to be very much present for everybody, so we're gearing up and expecting busy numbers at the beaches again. it's easter in two weeks — when they'll be patrolling 50 beaches across the country, hoping that this time the public will take a more measured approach as we slowly ease out of lockdown. henry, good morning. what a gorgeous morning. you are in charge of 30 lifeguards. tell us how it will be different this year it stops hopefully for the public they won't notice too much different this year. the lifeguards might be wearing masks but they are still absolutely approachable. behind the scenes we have put in a lot of work to make sure we are still safe within the pandemic and fully effective. for instance we have employed more lifeguards so we can keep them within bubbles and we have had to stagger the training over the last few weeks and do much of it outside, which has been quite challenging, as you can imagine. which has been quite challenging, as you can imagine-— you can imagine. when you say you have

london are beginning to reach the one year anniversary of a loved one's death from covid—19. including the family of dr alfa saadu — who was one of the first doctors to die in london. his family have been reflecting on his life and the year they've had in lockdown without him. because so many people got in touch with me about my dad and the legacy he left, it made me reflect on what my legacy should be and what i want to leave, you know, and the impact i want to make in the world. and itjust... i think after he passed, it gave me a real renewed sense of purpose and meaning. more than four in ten households in some london boroughs now claim housing support due to covid—19. the new research, by conservative think tank bright blue, shows the impact of the pandemic on the housing crisis in urban areas, with london experiencing the biggest rise in the numbers of households receiving state support. today marks the four year anniversary of the westminster terror attack that killed five people and injured more than 50. once covid restirctions have been lifted, westminster council will install this commemorative plaque on the bridge. to mark the anniversary today, the flags over parliament will fly at half—mast and flowers will be placed on the bridge. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tube across all lines. on the trains, there are delays on services into paddington this morning because of a track fault at southall. in barking, london road is partly blocked under the north circular flyover while police carry out an investigation. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. weather—wise, it's looking fairly similar to how it was yesterday. now it's not too chilly a start to the morning — temperatures generally in low to mid single figures. plenty of cloud around for many to start off the day, but we will see some bright, some sunny spells emerge at times, variable amounts of cloud throughout the day and top temperatures reaching between 12 and 14 degrees celsius — 57 in fahrenheit — round about the average, really, for this time of year. and those higher temperatures will be where we see the best of the sunshine. the winds stay fairly light. it will, of course, stay dry all day and it's staying dry, too, overnight tonight. some clear spells about at times, the south—westerly wind is set to pick up. we'll see overnight lows of around three to five degrees celsius into tomorrow morning. now, tomorrow is staying dry, but it is looking a bit cloudier, so not quite so much in the way of brightness and sunshine. it will be breezier, too — as we head through the week, it will turn more unsettled and a touch cooler. nowjust before we go, on wednesday, as part of our election coverage, we'll be hearing from labour's sadiq khan and the conservatives' shaun bailey live on our 6.30 evening programme. the full list of candidates who say they will be standing for london mayor in the local elections on the 6th of may is on the bbc london website. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though, it's back to dan and sally. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today: police vans are set on fire and officers suffer broken bones, as a protest turns violent in bristol. there has been a morning of clearing up there has been a morning of clearing up broken glass and graffiti here in bristol. this is the police station that was targeted by the violent protests last night. the row over the supply of astrazeneca vaccines continues, with borisjohnson likely to speak to european leaders this week. around 10,000 soldiers are expected to be cut from the army, as part of the major restructuring of the armed forces. we have lift off — in the last hour, a uk—led mission to remove dangerous space junk has launched from kazakhstan. here, bright or sunny skies through the course of the day filter for the north and west, more cloud, producing some drizzle from time to time. all the details later. it's monday the 22nd of march. two police officers suffered broken bones, and police vans were set on fire, when a protest in bristol turned violent last night. thousands of people had gathered to demonstrate against the government's police and crime bill, which would give police more powers to restrict demonstrations. our correspondentjohn maguire is at the scene this morning. once the latest? it has been very much a morning of clearing up is when we arrived there was glass all over this pavement, broken beer bottles. b. over this pavement, broken beer bottles. �* ., ., ., , over this pavement, broken beer bottles. �* ., ., ., bottles. a lot of the windows of this police _ bottles. a lot of the windows of this police station _ bottles. a lot of the windows of this police station were - bottles. a lot of the windows of| this police station were smashed too. have a look inside, you can see they are still clearing up inside. there is a police riot shield, there was a line—up of officers deployed here last night. you can see paint sprayed on it. on the back here you can see where that toughened glass has been smashed through, now boarded up. a night of violence. our correspondent was here when it was happening. in a protest against new police powers, it was soon police themselves who became the target. vans and a police cars set on fire, fireworks thrown into the crowd as around 1,000 protesters gathered in bristol city centre in what has been, police say, the worst violence the city has seen in years. there's a row of police blocking off what is the central police station here in bristol. but you can see at the end of the road, they've also blocked off now the end of this city centre street, but also the side roads, too. and they're doing it from behind, but there's still about 1,000 people in here. and now they're being left with nowhere to go. protesters here holding banners concerned, they say, that the uk is becoming a police state. the kill the bill march started in the early afternoon, but as night fell, the clashes began. projectiles thrown at officers in riot gear. we saw several people with head injuries being helped from the crowd. i think it's horrible. and i agree with the cause of the protesters, but i think this is not going to do anybody any good. several officers have been injured. the chair of the avon in somerset police federation said people's right to protest had been hijacked by protesters hell bent on violence. one of the most sinister aspects that are self—evident when you are here this morning, have a look at these. there are hundreds of these stones, there were all across the pavement. pity's sis de council street sweepers were out early to clean them up. —— bristol city council. this, the police station, as you saw in andrew's report from last night, boarded up on the ground floor but you can see the height at which some of those stones were clearly thrown to try to smash the glass. there were officers inside the police station that were looking out, taking video evidence and indeed back across the road is where one of the police vans was burned on the road surface is scorched and melted, blackened by what happened here. we are expecting to hear from the chief constable of avon and somerset police and from the police and crime commissioner later this morning, she has actuallyjust arrived to see for herself some of the damage, and to try and find out i suppose the main thrust of the police investigation will be to establish exactly what happened yesterday, while what was a peaceful demonstration against the new crime and justice bill, albeit one that police had said do not attend because of pandemic restrictions, turned so quickly violent, resulting in all of this damage and injuries to two police officers. in all of this damage and in'uries to two police officersi in all of this damage and in'uries to two police officers. john, thank ou ve to two police officers. john, thank you very much- — to two police officers. john, thank you very much. and _ to two police officers. john, thank you very much. and plenty - to two police officers. john, thank you very much. and plenty of i to two police officers. john, thank you very much. and plenty of that throughout the morning because we will also be speaking to the government about that in about 25 minutes. the health and social care minister will be with us. talks between the prime minister and eu leaders are expected this week, as tensions rise over vaccine supply. it comes after the eu threatened to ban the export of astrazeneca vaccines, unless the company increases its deliveries to the bloc. let's speak to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, about this. adam, what message will the prime minister want to send to the eu? the prime minister has already spoken to the prime minister of belgium and of the netherlands and there is a good chance he will speak to others this week. the message from the uk to the eu is that a war over vaccines doesn't help anyone and that everyone should work together to ramp up supply for everyone. the government's message to people here in the uk is that this will not affect whatever happens, the uk supply of vaccines, and he should still go if you get an appointment or a text telling you to turn up, and it will not —— it will also not affect the road map for lifting restrictions in england. in terms of what the eu is doing, there are two things going on, the general is that on thursday there is a meeting of eu leaders, there are regular summit which they will do by video call, and they might toughen up video call, and they might toughen up the existing mechanism for stopping experts of vaccines out of the eu, which could affect the uk eventually. then the specific is, it looks like there is a shipment from a dutch plant that could be heading to the uk this week which could potentially be stopped by the eu under their existing rules. so those are the two reasons why this issue is getting so heated on this monday morning. is getting so heated on this monday morninu. �* . ., , is getting so heated on this monday mornin. �* ., ., , . thousands of australians have been forced to flee their homes after several days of heavy rains caused some of the worst flooding in 100 years. emergency evacuation orders were imposed across many areas of new south wales after river banks burst, engulfing entire neighbourhoods. one whole three—bedroomed home was uprooted and can be seen being carried away by the water. a cut in the size of the army is expected to be announced later as part of the government's defence review. other changes include the phasing—out of old tanks, aircraft and ships to fund new equipment and technologies. our defence correspondent, jonathan beale reports. (vt) jonathan beale reports. the government says the armed forces of the future will be better equipped, with troops supported by robots and drones able to operate in small teams anywhere in the world. it says they will be backed up by a new kind of army, skilled in information, electronic and cyberwarfare. but it will also be leaner. the size of the regular army is expected to be cut by as much as 10,000 to 70,000 troops. that may concern close allies like the us, who say size matters. quantity has a quality all its own, as stalin taught us. we are concerned about the shrinking size of britain's military. but i would rather have a fully capable, fully resourced, smaller british force than i would have a larger, less capable one. extra investment is going into the royal navy, with new frigates already being ordered. but it is still expected to retire some older ships early, briefly seeing a reduction in its surface fleet from 19 to 17 warships. and there is likely to be fewer of the us—designed f—35jets than originally planned, to fund investment into the development of a new british—built fighter. the government insists this defence review will make the armed forces more agile and better equipped to fight the wars of the future. but they will be smaller. jonathan beale, bbc news. in the last hour, the world's first commercial mission aimed at clearing spacejunk in our atmosphere has been launched into space. elsa—d, which took off from kazakhstan, is being operated from a control centre in oxford. those behind the trial hope it could help create a new market for cleaning up space. i think we are going to be talking about that later. aha, i think we are going to be talking about that later.— i think we are going to be talking about that later. a vacuum

explain i about that later. a vacuum cleaner! hopefully somebody can explain in | hopefully somebody can explain in more detail. but a good picture, space vacuum! here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. for some of us, chilly start. this picture taken in shropshire this morning showing some frost on the ground. but when we had a cold start is where we have the clearer skies and where we see some sunshine. there is a fair bit of cloud, particularly so in the north and parts of the west. that cloud will be thick enough to produce some drizzle. we hang on the bright skies and sunshine for southern and eastern areas through the day. temperatures ranging from eight celsius from 12, 13 and 14 in london. into the evening and overnight, more cloud developing so less chance of us having a frost. we still have a fair bit of drizzle coming through along the hills and coasts in the west. these are the overnight lows, between 3 and 7 or eight celsius. tomorrow, we start off on a fairly cloudy note. still thick enough for some coastal and hill drizzle. a few showers as well and then later in the day, this new weather front is going to be showing its hand, bringing in some rain accompanied by gusty winds. the strongest winds will be in the north—west quarter of the uk, for example around the western isles, we could have gusts of 55 to 60 mph so you will certainly notice that. temperatures range from nine celsius in lerwick to about 12 as we pushed on towards london. heading into wednesday, still a fair bit of cloud although it doesn't look like that on this chart and it will also be quite breezy. turning colder as we head towards the end of the week. back to you both. where would we like to go now, including carol? just where would we like to go now, including

is the picture that you need. that is the picture that you need. that is a slice of hopefully what we can look forward to at some stage over the next few months.— when will we be able to go on holiday abroad again? that's the question many of us are asking, amid warnings from some scientists that booking a trip would be "premature". well let's take a look at the situation as it stands. currently all nonessential travel is banned and those coming to the uk must quarantine. a government task force will report to the prime minister on the 12th of april detailing when and how international travel can resume. under the current road map for easing restrictions, the earliest date people in england could go on holiday abroad would be the 17th of may. so what does it all mean for the travel industry? let's speak to dame irene hays, the owner of hays travel, the uk's largest independent travel agent. good morning to you visitor lovely to have you on the programme. we have spoken to you a lot over the last year about various stages of where the travel industry are. things standing today, how confident are you? things standing today, how confident are ou? ~ , ., ., , are you? well, the situation is still uncertain. _ are you? well, the situation is still uncertain. obviously - are you? well, the situation is| still uncertain. obviously there are you? well, the situation is i still uncertain. obviously there is of new evidence about infection rates in europe, but still not yet in the most popular destinations. so whilst we remain hopeful, the pressure is still very, very uncertain in terms of foreign travel in europe. but less so further afield. so we know, for example, to the west, the caribbean is welcoming tourists. in the nearfuture the west, the caribbean is welcoming tourists. in the near future and the west, the caribbean is welcoming tourists. in the nearfuture and in some instances right now. obviously subject to some testing, and in some cases some quarantine arrangements. then to the east, you've got the maldives and the indian ocean, the indian ocean archipelago, the seychelles, opening to tourists too. so whilst europe is uncertain, there is more certainty in other places. fix, is more certainty in other places. a lot of questions, people watching this might be thinking, should i book foreign travel, what should i do about a staycation? what is the response from those who would normally come to you at this stage of the year to book a holiday later in the year?— in the year? ok, first all it's important — in the year? ok, first all it's important to _ in the year? ok, first all it's important to recognise - in the year? ok, first all it's important to recognise that| in the year? ok, first all it's - important to recognise that lots of holidays were actually booked for summer 2020, and obviously they've been transferred to the summer, that's the first point to make. so there are lots and lots of bookings in place for this summer. the second point is that yes, people are still booking for 2021, so since the ist of march, 31% of our bookings have been for 2021 but the balance has been for 2021 but the balance has been for 2021 but the balance has been for 2022. that's the first point. the other point i would make is that it is always best to book with a reputable travel agent now, to booking secured, because prices are rising. there is absolutely no problem with booking, making sure that the two things they look after for you, the health and safety and financial security. on the second point, there are some absolutely fantastic news on the staycation front. i think everybody knew that capacity was an issue for this summer. and obviously, prices are really quite high for staycations in the uk. but 12 of the world's finest cruise lines are sending ships to the uk to do a staycation at sea. this is really interesting because people will have the opportunity perhaps if they've never been on a cruise before to hop on a cruise for perhaps three or five or six or seven nights, try it out, lots of different ships coming to the uk are starting eitherfrom the different ships coming to the uk are starting either from the end ofjune or the beginning ofjuly. at the minute we have a few that have announced, going from lots of different ports, and some quite unusual ports in the uk. but tomorrow in the day after and next week, we have further announcements. so my advice would be, if you want the opportunity to do something different and have a seacation instead of a staycation, register with your local travel agent now and they will send you information when it becomes available. fine they will send you information when it becomes available.— it becomes available. one more auestion it becomes available. one more question because _ it becomes available. one more question because this _ it becomes available. one more question because this is - it becomes available. one more i question because this is something that will come up a lot about the vaccine passports. do you think there might be a situation where we are successful in vaccinating all the adults in the uk but because of what's happening in other countries, there might not be the ability to travel even though everyone here will be vaccinated? i travel even though everyone here will be vaccinated?— will be vaccinated? i think to travel abroad, _ will be vaccinated? i think to travel abroad, yes. - will be vaccinated? i think to travel abroad, yes. i- will be vaccinated? i think to travel abroad, yes. i think. travel abroad, yes. ithink definitely, the government would be looking at the infection rates and the progress of vaccines and other countries. and obviously last week, ursula von der leyen announced that in europe they will be having a digital certificate. at the minute that position is not clear in the uk. but that would be a very good thing to demonstrate that you do have vaccination. my opinion is, at this stage, it will be nuanced. some places will open and they will have requirements some sort of certification or perhaps some lateral flow test on entry. but at the minute, as usual, it's not a clear picture, it varies from country to country, and sometimes from tour operator to tour operator. so the best thing to do is get some good advice from a good travel agent thank you very much, good to talk to you. many countries on the continent are reliant on british tourism and will be looking closely at what the uk government decides. one of them is cyprus. we're joined now by philokypros roussounides, director general of the cyprus hotel association. good morning, thank you for your time today. good morning, thank you for your time today-— good morning, thank you

years now, we have so much missed the uk travellers last year. we hope it doesn't happen again this year. it's good to have a huge —— huge impact on ourfinancial status good to have a huge —— huge

and on arrival as well. what before, and on arrival as well. what is the situation _ before, and on arrival as well. what is the situation in _ before, and on arrival as well. what is the situation in

we hope that by the middle to the end ofjune we will have about 60 to 70% of the population vaccinated. we see a steady reduction in the infection rates as well. so as the days go along, these things will get only better for us and definitely we will become a very safe destination. we have a strict protocols and we have high test rates. we do 50,000 to 55,000 tests a day and we are a country of less than a million population. i think we are getting there. ~ ., , ., population. i think we are getting there. ~ . , ., ~' there. what did you think when we heard from — there. what did you think

not bad, i mean, we had a spike in bookings once we announced the vaccine permission, do we hope this doesn't really happen, because then we are going to have a big hit, as i said before. scientists

also what we saw happen in bristol last night. a cut in the size of the army is expected to be announced later as part of the government's defence review. ministers say the changes are necessary to create a more agile military. let's get reaction now from former major general, tim robinson. good morning to you. just paint as a picture of how this change will affect the british army.- picture of how this change will affect the british army. well, the review hasn't _ affect the british army. well, the review hasn't come _ affect the british army. well, the review hasn't come out _ affect the british army. well, the review hasn't come out yet, - affect the british army. well, the review hasn't come out yet, but l review hasn't come out yet, but there has been quite a lot of briefing and speculation, as you say. if there is that reduction, i would want to see it in the context of all the other changes. but i would say straight up that there isn't normally a choice between agility and numbers. normally in armies, it is numbers of people that give you the agility to loot —— to do lots of different things. find do lots of different things. and what impact — do lots of different things. and what impact would any potential cuts have on this country's ability to engage, be able to engage in potential future conflicts? it really depends. what i do think is good about defence reviews is that they happen, because they need to happen every five to ten years to make sure we retain relevance, we keep defence on the agenda of the nation, because obviously we have a lot of other things to think about particularly at the moment. it means that lots of clever people within the defence world can think about the defence world can think about the problems the country might face and make sure we got the right resources to deal with them. so reviews are generally speaking positive but what often happens as a result, risks come out and because he got to push through a pulse and sell the vision behind it, some of those risks can be put to one side and dismissed too easily. for me the main risks from what we think this defence review will be about, will be about numbers of soldiers and about mass. i know it is sometimes said that perhaps in the modern fighting environment, size and mass and numbers don't matter so much and they can be replaced by technology, but i'm slightly sceptical about that because i do think the agility comes from having the right number of people and those people not becoming overstressed. so manpower is a big one. also there is often a gap between the delivery of new technologies and capabilities, and getting rid of the ones you've already got. that sometimes... for example we spent a long time in the army digitising and never really delivered and it sounds quite similar to some of the ideas that have been fielded now. that means we've got to get better at doing it, getting better at what they call transformation. it has to be done quickly. transformation. it has to be done cuickl . ., . ~' transformation. it has to be done cuickl . ., ., ~ ., , quickly. you talk about in this modern world, _ quickly. you talk about in this modern world, the _ quickly. you talk about in this modern world, the needs - quickly. you talk about in this| modern world, the needs have changed, what are the differences now compared to 20 or 30 years ago? well, military people tend to talk about the difference between the character and the nature of conflict. the character of conflict all these changes, new enemies, technology changes, those kind of evolutions that happen through history. but there is also the nature of conflict, which never changes, it is always dangerous, there is always competition, there is always an element of chaos. it is always about politics ultimately being played out with military means. so i think the best kind of ways of looking at building your capability for the future is to be cognizant of the nature of conflict and to understand what doesn't change and that for me amongst other things is the importance of people and the importance of fighting. armies are ultimately for close combat, not to play computer games. that's not to dismiss the role of technology at all, not a dinosaur, but i think it's very important to remember that throughout history, the one thing you always get in conflict is people so you need enough of them. so that's really important and having said that, it is also important to make sure that if there are new developments in technology, which are coming particularly quickly in our time of history, they are explored as soon as possible and folding into the capability you've got, not necessarily to replace them. thank ou ve necessarily to replace them. thank you very much- _ time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm alpa patel. families in london are beginning to reach the one year anniversary of a loved one's death from covid—19. including the family of dr alfa saadu — who was one of the first doctors to die in london. his family have been reflecting on his life and the year they've had in lockdown without him. because so many people got in touch with me about my dad and the legacy he left, it made me reflect on what my legacy should be and what i want to leave, you know, and the impact i want to make in the world. and itjust... i think after he passed, it gave me a real renewed sense of purpose and meaning. the city of london police are urging people to secure their social media and email addresses after more than 15,000 accounts were compromised by criminal activity in the past year. officers say almost a quarter of victims were aged between 20 and 29. they advise people to use a strong password and have two—factor authentication to keep information safe. today marks the four—year anniversary of the westminster terror attack that killed five people and injured more than 50. once covid restrictions have been lifted, westminster council will install this commemorative plaque on the bridge. to mark the anniversary today, the flags over parliament will fly at half—mast and flowers will be placed on the bridge. the demand for office space in central london has shrunk by over a quarter since the beginning of lockdown a year ago. office rental company iwg says while demand has fallen by 26% in the city, it's increased by up to 175% in areas such as uxbridge and high wycombe. they say the high cost of living in london has impacted its recovery in demand. let's take a look at the travel situation now. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. weather—wise, it's looking fairly similar to how it was yesterday. now it's not too chilly a start to the morning — temperatures generally in low to mid single figures. plenty of cloud around for many to start off the day, but we will see some bright, some sunny spells emerge at times, variable amounts of cloud throughout the day and top temperatures reaching between 12 and 1a degrees celsius — 57 in fahrenheit — round about the average, really, for this time of year. and those higher temperatures will be where we see the best of the sunshine. the winds stay fairly light. it will, of course, stay dry all day and it's staying dry, too, overnight tonight. some clear spells about at times, the south—westerly wind is set to pick up. we'll see overnight lows of around three to five degrees celsius into tomorrow morning. now, tomorrow is staying dry, but it is looking a bit cloudier, so not quite so much in the way of brightness and sunshine. it will be breezier, too — as we head through the week, it will turn more unsettled and a touch cooler. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. two police officers suffered broken bones, and police vans were set on fire, when a protest in bristol turned violent last night. demonstrators scaled a police station and threw fireworks as the events unfolded. crowds had gathered in opposition to the police and crime bill. home secretary priti patel described the scenes as "unacceptable". astrazeneca has released the results of its coronavirus vaccine trials in the united states. the data, which was on a study of more than 30,000 volunteers, showed the jab was 79% effective against stopping symptomatic cases, and a hundred percent effective atpreventing serious illness. researchers said older participants received as much protection as those in younger age groups, and there were no safety issues regarding blood clots. we will be speaking about that later on the programme. talks between the prime minister and eu leaders are expected this week, as tensions rise over vaccine supply. it comes after the eu threatened to ban the export of astrazeneca vaccines, unless the company increases its deliveries to the bloc. the government says the eu must allow the firm to meet its contractual obligations to the uk. a cut in the size of the army is expected to be announced later as part of the government's defence review. other changes include the phasing—out of old tanks, aircraft and ships to fund new equipment and technologies. ministers say the changes are necessary to create a more agile military. a protest that turned violent has been described as unacceptable. in opposition to the police and bill. a protest in bristol last night that turned violent has been described as "unacceptable" by the home secretary. police officers were hurt and vans were torched after crowds gathered for the kill the bill demonstration in opposition to the police and crime bill. we can discuss this with health minster, helen whately. thank you forjoining us. can we start with what we saw in bristol, what is

can vote at elections, but also you can join a peaceful protest, and many people do so. but there is a difference between a peaceful protest and some of the extremely disruptive protests we have seen in recent years. the bill going through parliament at the moment, on the one hand a lot of it is to do with sentencing and making sure that our streets and people are safer and for instance stopping the early release of dangerous criminals and increasing the sentence for people who assault emergency workers, which is very important. but part of it is to update the legislation going back to the 1980s, protests so that those very disruptive protests can be effectively managed. disruptive protests can be effectivel manaaed. . , ~ effectively managed. later this week ou will effectively

you will vote on parliament in - you will vote on parliament in extending the covid legislation by six months. a lot of talk about the road map is helping to lift all restrictions byjune 21. why do we need a six—month extension to the bill if the road map is in place? that bill if the road map is in place? git the road map is on track and we want to lift those restrictions byjune 21. we said we will take steps cautiously and will be driven by the data rather than those dates as soon as those changes can take place. there are also a number of things we will need to continue and will be continued for a longer period of time. for instance, the furlough scheme, which has been extended through to october, and this act is neededin through to october, and this act is needed in order to have that. also the sick pay, it means you can get sick pay from day one, if you are isolating from covid for instance. there are things we need to have in place beyond dates for the road map. the other thing that is essential to those dates in the road map is the supply of the vaccine. how seriously are you taking the threat from the eu to potentially limit those vaccine exports into the uk? the prime minister _ vaccine exports into the uk? ira: prime minister has vaccine exports into the uk? i1a: prime minister has spoken vaccine exports into the uk? i12 prime minister has spoken to ursula von der leyen, the president of the eu commission, and she made a commitment that the eu would not prevent companies from fulfilling their contracts and it is crucial that the eu to stand by that commitment. that is in everybody�*s interest. just to take a step back a moment, it is a tremendous success that we have now vaccinated over half of adults in the uk and on saturday we vaccinated 844,000 people. these numbers arejust huge. on track by the 15th of april to offer vaccine to all of those in coal ports one to nine. those most at risk of being hospitalised or sat dying from the virus. this is a tremendous success and i would like to say a huge thank you to all of those involved in the vaccination effect. ., . ~' those involved in the vaccination effect. ., ., ~ ., those

countries that play a part in the vaccine it should work together to maximise production of the vaccine so that as many people as possible around the world can be vaccinated. that is how we control

one of the four tests for us being able to alert the road map as planned is that we don't have a particular concern of heightened risk due to variance of concern, mutations of the virus like the south african or resilient variance. while we have tremendous capacity to sequence the genome of the virus and therefore identify these variance, that does take some time at the moment. what we are trialling and planning to roll out its new tests which means that within 48 hours of having a pcr test, that is positive, we will be able to identify whether that test is in fact one of the four known variance of concern. you can update what we assess for if new mutations of that should happen. this should help us be able to quickly identify if we have a variance ready to take hold and we can take rapid action to stop the spread of that. it is yet another important thing in our armoury of controlling the virus over the weeks and months ahead. people will be listening to you this morning that i listen to your colleague ben wallace yesterday. it is not the most important thing but there are concerns about foreign holidays, travel, some sort of release. i'm sure you are feeling that after the last year. have you booked a trip this summer with your family, are you considering doing that, what is your advice this morning? i that, what is your advice this morning?— that, what is your advice

morning? i know... everybody feels like it is time for a holiday. - morning? i know... everybody feels like it is time for a holiday. we - like it is time for a holiday. we all need that. it's just so happens that when i was on holiday last august i booked my next holiday, a uk holiday for later in the summer. my uk holiday for later in the summer. my advice would be to anybody right now, just hold off on booking international travel. the prime minister launched a task force to look specifically at international travel. that will report back shortly. it feels premature to be booking international holidays at the moment. i booking international holidays at the moment-— booking international holidays at the moment. ~ ., ., the moment. i know the dates are movable, the moment. i

is - helpful for me to say one way or the other. what i would counsel is portion at the moment for people to hold off on booking because, as anybody can see, we are in a situation where there are rising rates in many countries in europe and we know also something that comes with rising rates is increased risk of variance so it is important we will be able to test more rapidly for variance of consent, as i outlined. i would say to people, just hold off. what matters for us at the moment is that we keep pressing on with our vaccination programme and we have this tremendous situation where half of uk adults have been vaccinated, 845,000 people on saturday, as i said, and let's keep pressing ahead with the steps we are taking to control the virus here the uk. {line control the virus here

australians have been forced from their homes. we have seen incredible pictures this morning of the terrible floods in parts of australia, those communities that have been affected by the wildfire not that long ago. some have been trapped inside their houses, like sophie long, who is by the ellenborough river, in the north of the state. shejoins us now. good morning, sophie. i can see how grim it is from your surroundings. tell us what's happened to you. the river has tell us what's happened to you. i12 river has actually gone down about seven metres since yesterday. so this is now actually a very small flood. but we are waiting for two more weather systems to collide over us in the next two days. so that's what we are worried about, because there has been over 700 mills of rain in the last three or four days upriver so that is what impacts us here. yesterday, we had unprecedented flooding, it was right up unprecedented flooding, it was right up to the bottom of that fence post there that you can see. and our whole river flat was covered, we had to rescue lots of animals, tiny house trailers and tractors, that sort of thing. we have lost... i think we just have a little drop in transmission there from sophie, she was describing the situation, her house, the flooding was so bad around her house, the house became like a little island, and as you could hear her describe, she

world. and he was to try and incorporate that into the memorial, which is why we call it more of a memorial than just a statue, as it is hopefully going to encompass a vast part hopefully of her life.

79% effective in a large us trial are preventing systematic illness and 100% effective against severe or critical disease and hospitalisation. and that was the response from one of those very clever people who'd been working on the vaccine for many months. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today... police vans are set on fire and officers suffer broken bones, as a protest turns violent in bristol. 20 officers were assaulted last night, seven arrests have been made. this streets have been cleaned, the investigation is under way. we will hear from the chief constable in two minutes. the row over the supply of astrazeneca vaccines continues, with borisjohnson likely to speak to european leaders this week. with staycations on the rise, we are at exmouth beach as the rnli get ready for a new season. across western and also northern areas today there will be quite a bit of cloud, thick enough for some drizzle, in the south and east after

story. seven protesters have been arrested in bristol after a demonstration turned violent last night, leaving 20 police officers injured. thousands of people had gathered to demonstrate against the government's police and crime bill, which would give police more powers to restrict demonstrations. our correspondentjohn maguire is on the scene this morning. good morning. morning. it started as a

pavement that have been used as ammunition and you can see how the outside of the police station has been damaged, some of that strengthened glass has been peppered. boarded up but crews were clearing

and eu leaders are expected this week, as tensions rise over vaccine supply. it comes after the eu threatened to ban the export of astrazeneca vaccines, unless the company increases its deliveries to the bloc. let's speak to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, about this. how tense are these little talks going to be, these chaps that may happen this week?— going to be, these chaps

the position of the government was to not say anything about what the eu was doing, but gradually tougher after the language has crept in to the mounds of ministers. the message from the government to

proposing some kind ofjoint working with the eu to benefit vaccine production for everyone. it is worth remembering the reasons why this is an issue now. there is a virtual summit of eu leaders on thursday. they will decide whether to beef up their existing measures for restricting exports, so this is all of the debate leading up to that with various different points of view on the inside of the eu. secondly, eu officials say there is a delivery destined by the uk from a plant in the netherlands potentially as soon as this week, though that might be covered by the existing rules vaccine exports. those are the two reasons it is becoming such a hot topic this week.— reasons it is becoming such a hot topic this week. in the past hour astrazeneca has released the results of its coronavirus vaccine trials in the united states. the data was based on a study of more than 30,000 volunteers of mixed ages. we're joined now by our medical editor fergus walsh. just to talk us

serious disease. one in five of those on the trial was over 65. there were no issues with blood clots or other serious side effects. so really good data wipe what does this mean? , ., , , ., , this

particular - talking about this particular vaccine for several weeks, hesitancy in europe to use it, what does it mean for the rest of the world? it mean for the rest of the world? it is important primarily for the united states because the us always said it wanted to have domestic trials there before it licensed the vaccine and so what will happen now is astrazeneca will put together a dossier and submit that to the fda and i would expect that the us will start using the vaccine within the next month or two. it sends a couple of useful signals to eu countries who have been nervous about clots and nervous about what they saw as a lack of data on the effectiveness in the elderly. that should be reassuring. but when you consider them to 2000 people were in these trials, well, in the uk yesterday, probably more than half a million people got the astrazeneca jab alone. others would have been the second dose of pfizer. we are using more doses per hour through this whole trial but

was a topsy—turvy few days. certainly. that's right. good morning. this morning for some of us it is a lovely sunny side, it is cloudy like this with mist and drizzle. for most of today it is going to be dry, by the drizzle in the west. as we go through the week, especially from tomorrow it will turn much wetter and windier than we are used to and briefly colder by the time gets to friday. it will be a one day wonder but we could well see some once again. that is in the hills in the north and west, as far south as dartmoor. anytime you get to saturday temperatures are up again. today the rest of the century will be in the east and the south, and even here we see more cloud through the day. towards the north and west we have ticket clouds, thick enough for drizzle i was talking about. temperatures range from eight to 13 and the south we we could hit 1a. we will see more cloud develop more tonight and last nights or less of a chance of frost but still the cloud picking up in the north and west for some showers to come in, and these are overnight lows between three and 8 degrees. as you go through tomorrow it will be fairly cloudy to start with, there will be showers in the north and west. some breaks in the cloud across north—east england and parts of north—east scotland through the day, but then we have a new weather front coming in from the west which will introduce rain to northern ireland and western scotland. gusty winds across the north west, gusting 55 or 60 mph for example in the western isles. topsy—turvy it is. thank you very much. i could do that

ministers are now being more cautious — with warnings that travel this summer is extremely unlikely as cases rise in parts of europe. so what does this mean for countries that rely heavily on british tourism? we'rejoined by spain's foreign minister, arancha gonzalez laya. thank you for being with us. good to talk to you. what are you hearing about what the uk government by saying about potentially

and the summer we have got to be careful, simply because what we do over the next weeks will determine whether or not weeks will determine whether or not we can enjoy again the summer. let's be

within its region to make sure we keep the numbers down —— every regent limits. careful management on the side of spain. again, a bit more pain now to make sure that we are ready for the summer. clever people who'd been working on the vaccine for many months. in terms of your own thoughts on foreign travel, we spoke to a government minister on this programme and she shed she has booked a

couple of weeks, | well? for now, i don't make plans| beyond the next couple of weeks, i think it is just prudence at the moment. but i think what we have to do is proceed with vaccination. this is what will ensure that we feel safer and more comfortable as the weeks pass. and that we get ready for the summer. of course this will not be a summer like the ones we have known in the past, but i'm sure that if we proceed with vaccination and with a lot of care now, we will be able to spend a bit more time outside our countries, always with care, always looking at the vaccination numbers, always respecting the set of precautionary measures, but i think the summer will collect —— might look a bit better than last summer, provided we proceed, again, carefully, vaccination nonstop, this is where the efforts of the spanish government are at the moment and i'm sure that with this, the summer will look better and of course we will be more than glad to receive our tourists from the uk as we always have. ., ., ., .. ., ., , have. you mentioned vaccination is . uite have. you mentioned vaccination is uuite a have. you mentioned vaccination is quite a bit. — have. you mentioned vaccination

understandably, we have seen in the last few days, ursula von der leyen saying the eu could ban the export of vaccines to the uk, are you confident that the eu and the uk will be able to work together towards a common goal and thatis together towards a common goal and that is your vaccination, or will there be a real issue, it is this going to be the boiling point on that expedition to the uk of vaccines made in the eu? well, let me tell you — vaccines made in the eu? well, let me tell you that _ vaccines made in the eu? well, let me tell you that the _ vaccines made in the eu? well, let me tell you that the eu _ vaccines made in the eu? well, let me tell you that the eu has - vaccines made in the eu? well, let l me tell you that the eu has exported massive amounts of vaccines to the uk over the last months, more than 10 million vaccines have been exported from the eu to the uk. this is not about the eu and the uk. the measures that the eu said it would take, export restrictions, would be to ensure pharmaceutical companies comply with their obligations. the reality is that we've got one pharmaceutical company called astrazeneca that is not meeting its contract with the european union, so i think the most intelligent thing would be for the eu in the uk, both of whom are customers of astrazeneca, to work hand—in—hand to ensure astrazeneca delivers the vaccines to the eu and delivers the vaccines to the eu and delivers the vaccines to the uk. this would be the most intelligent approach, since what is at stake here is vaccinating, it's not about being nice or not nice to other countries, it is making sure all our citizens get the jab. taste it is making sure all our citizens get the jab-— it is making sure all our citizens get the jab. get the 'ab. we really

breakfast. the spanish foreign minister live in the programme. let's take a look at the science of all this. we're joined by professor calum semple, who specialises in outbreak medicine. good morning to you, professor, great to see you. let's pick up a little bit on what might happen this summer. if half of the uk adults are vaccinated, and many more potentially by the end ofjuly, why should there not —— but why should they not be allowed to travel abroad? , , , ., abroad? the issue here is that there is really high — abroad? the issue here is that there is really high prevalence _ abroad? the issue here is that there is really high prevalence of - abroad? the issue here is that there is really high prevalence of the - is really high prevalence of the virus in europe. so although britain has essentially got its house in order with quite stiff lockdowns and brilliant roll—out of the vaccine, sadly in european countries, we are seeing a third wave at the moment, and there is no reason to expect that to go down until they get lots of non—pharmaceutical interventions. when there is high prevalence of the virus, there is more risk of mutations. the big fear here is that one of the new variants will be brought back into the uk. so the science here is that until prevalence is low in the other countries, we really do not want the virus being brought back into the country. ultimately the policy decisions —— but the decisions in this our policy decisions, but the senseis this our policy decisions, but the sense is that when there is a lot of virus circulating there is a great opportunity for new parents, particularly when you have a population were not quite enough people are vaccinated. so the virus has some evolutionary pressure to escape. a, has some evolutionary

risk, if you like? that's a really sensible question, the i a really sensible question, the great news that have just come out from the trials today is that the astrazeneca oxford vaccine is 100% effective against severe and critical illness, so it stops people going to intensive care and stops people from dying. but that absolutely does not mean that it's going to be safe, that it doesn't stop you getting mild disease. one in five of our intensive care unit beds was occupied by somebody under the age of 50 without comorbidities who was fighting for their lives. so still a lot of people that are not vaccinated. people will bring the virus back into the committee and potentially bring back resistant strains of the virus. so i'm very sorry for these older people but this is a public health intervention, we have to think of the good of the whole nation. we heard from public health england yesterday saying that masks and social distancing could in fact last four years, what are your thoughts on that? i four years, what are your thoughts on that? ~ �* , , four years, what are your thoughts onthat? ~ �*, _.,,,, on that? i think it's very possible. one of the — on that? i think

very possible. one of the benefits we've seen is| one of the benefits we've seen is the complete collapse of influenza and delight, which a the elderly but also our young children, these viruses have totally disappeared with social distancing and face coverings and hand washing. so i think we have really learned from this outbreak that the so—called seasonal viruses that we all assumed were unavoidable can themselves be combated by these non—pharmaceutical interventions. combated by these non-pharmaceutical interventions— interventions. professor, thank you ve much interventions.

you very much indeed for explaining all| very much indeed for explaining all of that for us this morning. great to talk to you. todayis to talk to you. today is the 22nd of march and tomorrow marks a year since the uk went into lockdown, the first lockdown. the day that changed all of our lives beyond recognition. to mark the anniversary, we asked you to send in the last photo that captured your life before lockdown — and we received more than a thousand. from the weddings held just in the nick of time, to the babies born as the pm addressed the nation, breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been hearing your stories. these are the moments just before everything changed. some moments still inconceivable today. rob and tracy's wedding was a week before lockdown. very, very lucky. and i often say to rob, you nearly escaped, but i got you! another week and i might have escaped, but... laughter these are the weddings that happened just in the nick of time. we were still hugging and kissing people at the wedding. you know, literally a week later we were told not to do these things. and these are the dresses yet to be worn. get your picture out, julia, show me the time before. that looks distinctly like a big basket of booze, julia. it was, it was. this was taken just as covid cut shortjulia's holiday in belgium. actually, that was one of two trolleys! laughter the next time that i do a run like that it will be more to celebrate the hard work that everybody�*s done to get us out of this. photos show so many holidays cut short, so many last performances, so many last gigs. show me your pic, rich! there you go. the entire cast and crew of north staffordshire operatic society. priscilla, queen of the desert never even got to open. as we were all driving there, borisjohnson addressed the nation and told people not to go to theatres. you know, there was tears, there was hugging. they were absolutely devastated. it feels like yesterday and a thousand years ago at the same time. and then there are all the babies born, yet to be properly showed off. this was claire's baby shower a week before lockdown. as boris did his speech at eight o'clock that evening, claire's waters broke and oshane was born the following morning, so a proper, proper lockdown baby. first official day of lockdown. i have been furloughed most of the year and, you know... having that time with oshane and mum has been amazing, and i'll never get that time back again. yay! so many photos capture that last hug. it was angela's aunt and uncle, their 60th wedding anniversary. but at the time, you don't realise the importance of family occasions because it was just the norm and it was kind of taken for granted, really. a week later, as borisjohnson locked down the country, darren was rushed into icu. he had 20 minutes before he was put into a medically induced coma. we all had a call saying that was the last call that we were ever going to get from my dad. and he had to call his whole family saying he might not survive. it was awful. it was heartbreaking. and i still cry to this day thinking about that. - he survived, and went on to become the uk's most prolific plasma donor. but nine months after that last family gathering, covid took angela's father. he wasn't strong enough to fight it. behind so many photos, there is grief. this is him as a young man. pretty... pretty cool—looking man. in 1945, lawrence had parachuted into arnhem, just 18 years old. a week before lockdown, this was taken on his annual pilgrimage to the place he loved. in that moment there was a group of veterans in the schoolyard arms, where they went every year for the anniversary. theyjust absolutely had a ball. a week later, lawrence had died — of covid. and we couldn't be with him, and that really hurts. that really hurts. it's very precious, that picture, isn't it? yeah, yeah. it totally gives me comfort because that was where my dad wanted to be. these are the moments we all long to be in once again — the laughs, the family, the community. the moments before the separation. the isolation. the loss. take me back on your phone. scroll through. it was a special night because it's the festival of koli, which is celebrated by hindus. we started hearing people having the infection, so we weren't very sure. nobody was sure, actually. this was your last rave? yeah. it was brilliant — absolutely amazing, it was. we were just so grateful. it was kind of like not only- the last night but almost the last hug and everything, as well. the music was amazing, it was out of this world. everyone was hugging. it was euphoric. we were meant to do a dance and... we had practised for days and days! just to do the dance, l we just met together. i mean, i think we had this - information that it's going to come, you know, the guidelines that. are coming in a couple of days. so we wanted to make - the most of it, and we did. hands up, who's desperate to go raving again, then? cheering a spring equinox tells us we are marching towards a new summer. these are the moments we live in hope to find again. oh, go on — give us a blast on your air horn! air horn blasts laughter, cheering

patel. families in london are beginning to reach the one year anniversary of a loved one's death from covid—19, including the family of dr alfa saadu, who was one of the first doctors to die in london. his family have been reflecting on his life and the year they've had in lockdown without him. because so many people got in touch with me about my dad and the legacy he left, it made me reflect on what my legacy should be and what i want to leave, you know, and the impact i want to make in the world. and itjust... i think after he passed, it gave me a real renewed sense of purpose and meaning. the city of london police are urging people to secure their social media and email addresses after more than 15,000 accounts were compromised by criminal activity in the past year. officers say almost a quarter of victims were aged between 20 and 29. they advise people to use a strong password and have two—factor authentication to keep information safe. more than four in ten households in some london boroughs now claim housing support due to covid—19. the new research by conservative think tank bright blue shows the impact of the pandemic on the housing crisis in urban areas, with london experiencing the biggest rise in the numbers of households receiving state support. today marks the four—year anniversary of the westminster terror attack that killed five people and injured more than 50. once covid restrictions have been lifted, westminster council will install this commemorative plaque on the bridge. to mark the anniversary today, the flags over parliament will fly at half—mast and flowers will be placed on the bridge. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there are minor delays on the hammersmith & city line, plus severe delays on the dlr into tower gateway and bank because of a train fault. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. weather—wise, it's looking fairly similar to how it was yesterday. now it's not too chilly a start to the morning — temperatures generally in low to mid single figures. plenty of cloud around for many to start off the day, but we will see some bright, some sunny spells emerge at times, variable amounts of cloud throughout the day and top temperatures reaching between 12 and 1a degrees celsius — 57 in fahrenheit — round about the average, really, for this time of year. and those higher temperatures will be where we see the best of the sunshine. the winds stay fairly light. it will, of course, stay dry all day and it's staying dry, too, overnight tonight. some clear spells about at times, the south—westerly wind is set to pick up. we'll see overnight lows of around three to five degrees celsius into tomorrow morning. now, tomorrow is staying dry, but it is looking a bit cloudier, so not quite so much in the way of brightness and sunshine. it will be breezier, too — as we head through the week, it will turn more unsettled and a touch cooler. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. morning live is on bbc
