Choral singing. So, eight hours after a minutes silence, commemorating the First Anniversary of the lockdown. A moment of reflection. A year that has been unlike any other year that most of us have lived through. Many people lighting a candle, lighting a torch or holding up their phone. For the 126,000 people who have died of covid by the many who died of Natural Causes as well, caught up, though, in this pandemic, because no family has been able to grieve collectively, certainly in numbers, because of the Lockdown Restrictions in the country, and around the world, because of the pandemic. These images reflecting the national day of reflection. To the sounds of the choir of Winchester Cathedral. The charity which organised a national day of reflection is marie curie and its Chief Executive joins us now. Thank you. This is something that you fought for food today and you can see some of the images around the country. This isntjust for the people who died of covid, is it . , � ,. , for the people who died of covid, is it . , for the people who died of covid, is it . , for the people who died of covid, is it . Thats right, today is a day for everybody it . Thats right, today is a day for everybody and it . Thats right, today is a day for everybody and marie it . Thats right, today is a day for everybody and marie curie it . Thats right, today is a day for everybody and marie curie are everybody and marie curie are delighted to leave the nation in reflecting over the last 12 months. Millions of people have sadly been bereaved and have experienced some dark days. Today and tonight is about reflecting that but also shining a light, a light of hope for the future as well and a coming together, experiencing our personal sense of loss over the last 12 months and a collective sense, finding a sense of feeling and looking forward to the future, shining a light and looking to the future so that no one who is bereaved tonight feels alone. And bereaved tonight feels alone. And the oint bereaved tonight feels alone. And the point is bereaved tonight feels alone. And the point is that even if people have died of other illnesses throughout this lockdown, no one was able to grieve collectively in any numbers in a way that we would normally do when we lose a Family Member or loved one. Member or loved one. Thats absolutely member or loved one. Thats absolutely right. Member or loved one. Thats absolutely right. Behind member or loved one. Thats absolutely right. Behind all l member or loved one. Thatsl absolutely right. Behind all of these deeply personal human stories, people experiencing loss and grief, this year, not being able to express it as they would like to, to go to funerals, to be with each other or hug Family Members. Today is a day to reflect on that and recognise some of the loss weve experienced in our own lives, may be for my loved one dying from covid or another condition or another loss, loss of a home, a job or a relationship and it can any kind of lost people have experienced and not feel a sense of loss. With the light tonight being able to reach into the future as well and plot the next stage of our own lives as well. This is the first time marie curie have organised Something Like this. Did it come as a result of the messages, the pressure you were feeling for what your charity does . Its been our privilege and marie curie over the last 12 months to careful Tens Of Thousands of people who have died and to be with their families and loved ones as well. We know the people we support day in and they out at marie curie havent been able to express their grief as they would like to so we thought this was a powerful gift to offer the people we have supported all year but also the nation to say that this is our time to reflect and come together and it is our time to look together and it is our time to look to the future together as well. Chief executive of marie curie, thank you. Lets just go back to Winchester Cathedral and the sound of the choir beautifully singing in that historic building. , narrating what has been the most terrible year for millions of people, on this, the First Anniversary of the National Lockdown commemorating what has been the most terrible year. Eight hours ago there was a minutes silence to reflect on this, the First Anniversary of the pandemic lockdown. Exactly a year on This Day Last march the country went into its first full lockdown. Since then, more than 126,000 people have died after falling ill with covid 19. The queen has paid tribute to the service of those who have supported us all over the last year. This evening, people have been encouraged to shine alight to remember all those who have died in the past year. Earlier, borisjohnson admitted that in the early days of the pandemic a false assumption about the way covid was transmitted had caused real problems. Heres our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg on a year that has changed our country and stretched the business of government to its limits. Time to stop. To remember that harsh first spring. Time to reflect. To contemplate that strange summer. Time to pay tribute to lives lost, as autumn turned. Time to mourn those absent now. The slow passing of the seasons, our year long journey through danger. Now, the disease still among us, a second spring. Remembrance in a cabinet room, where so many of the decisions were taken too. Then the trio, still at the lecterns. When i asked you to go into lockdown exactly a year ago, it seemed incredible that in the 21st century, this was the only way to fight a new respiratory disease. This was unlike any other struggle in my lifetime, in that our entire population has been engaged. And its thanks to all of you, therefore, that we can continue on our road map to freedom. So much of our routine disappeared indoors, the outside world became a still life we observed. And for more than 100,000 families, it wont be the same again. Thank you, everyone, for coming, and i havent been all the way round yet. When dean fell ill last march, he and his close family suspected it might be this new strange disease. He had diabetes, but on the 18th of march, he had a sore throat. He was taken to hospital on the 30th of march. His sons werent worried too much. Im oliver, and im 12 years old. And im william, and im 15 years old. But on the 3rd of april, their dad passed away. He was about to turn 52. I cant remember the last time i saw him because. Because he was, when he was ill, he was laying on the couch and i was up in my room playing games, as normal. He walked out of the door and we didnt. Wejust thought, oh, hell be back in a couple of days. We didnt know he was going under, into a coma, or whatever. Wejust thought, oh, hell be back in a couple of days. And obviously. So, that was the last time we ever saw him, when he was being wheeled out. As much as sometimes, people say that it heals with time, im just not sure thats true at the moment. The virus has affected this family in other ways too. Work dried up for deans niece, and his sister debbie has had to work and grieve at home. Its the first time ive really heard them talk about it. I mean, my heart breaks for them. As much as they need us, were there. And as soon as we can actually get together, theyre going to get a hug, whether they like it or not oliver after so much sacrifice, today was marked in many ways. Simple Spring Flowers from the queen to doctors and nurses at a london hospital. Quiet and distant in the commons. Silent respect in cardiff. In belfast, too. And in edinburgh. I know i will never be able to adequately express the depths of my gratitude for all the sacrifices that have been made by so many. But Opposition Leaders also wonder about government regrets. We owe both the nhs staff and those on the front line, and all the families of those that have died, to learn the lessons of the last 12 months, to have an inquiry and to learn what went wrong, to make sure that we never repeat that. But in number10, any reflection yet . If theres one thing you wish youd done differently in the last year, what would it be . There are probably many things that we wished we that wed known and many things that we wished wed done differently at the time, in retrospect, because we were fighting a novel disease. The single biggest false assumption that we made was about the potential for asymptomatic transmission. The one thing that i think would have been really important earlier on is to have much better data on what was happening, and that would have required testing to be up and ready immediately, it would have required the ability to get that information. After a year of pressure behind that door, behind the countrys doors a day perhaps to share, maybe to ease the hurt and hold those memories instead. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. Britain has been one of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic, with one of the the highest death tolls in the world. However, this morning there was encouraging news from the office for National Statistics the number of weekly deaths has fallen below the five year average for the First Time Since last august. 0ur Health Editor hugh pym has been looking at the numbers, and some of the challenges ahead. The shadow of covid lingers in every community, the lives lost and livelihoods threatened. And now, a year on, theres increasing understanding of the scale of the impact, compared to what was first predicted, with the virus proving far more deadly. A Health Think Tank has calculated that on average, those who died with covid lost up to ten years of their lives thats based on Life Expectancy estimates, how long they might have lived. In total, one and a half million years of life have been lost in the uk because of covid. By comparison, in a bad winter, 250,000 years are lost because of flu and pneumonia. It is a devastating bombshell that hit britain, as it hit many other countries. 0ur loss has been much greater, and our loss has been compounded by the Underlying Health of the population and the disparities between different groups, which covid has shown most starkly. But numbers are now falling. This line shows the five year Weekly Average for deaths from all causes, and this shows whats happened since january last year. There was a big spike above the average in april mainly because of covid deaths, shown in red then another surge from last autumn. But now, uk deaths have fallen back below the average for the First Time Since last summer. The Vaccination Programme is protecting more people from serious illness and reducing the risk of dying with covid. But some whove had the virus are still carrying a heavy burden. Come on, tom its a life, but it is not like the life that i was living before. In fact, its completely different. Come on, tom tom used to run marathons, but covid stopped him in his tracks. Almost exactly a year ago, he went down with the virus, thought he was recovering, but then couldnt shake off some alarming symptoms. It was probably the most frightening thing ive ever experienced. It felt like my body had been hijacked by the virus, and i didnt understand what was happening, and no doctor could explain it to me, either. Tom has long covid and says he and many others are still struggling. Theres a real lack of recognition of the scale of the problem with long covid. Given that were just out of the second wave, its really likely to grow over the coming months. A year on from lockdown, scars still havent healed for those trying to shake off the effects of the virus, and for many families whove lost loved ones. Hugh pym, bbc news. There were 5,379 the latest Government Figures show there were 5,379 new Coronavirus Infections recorded in the latest 24 hour period, which means on average 5,498 new cases were reported per day in the last week.

More of todays news stories in a moment. First lets get a round up of todays sport. From the bbc sport centre, heres tulsen. England fell to a 66 run loss against india in the First One Day International of their three match series in pune. Having been in a commanding position chasing 318 for victory, they suffered a middle order collapse to surrender advantage as andy swiss reports. It is becoming a familiar sight. India all smiles, england Regretting Another Chastening defeat. Earlier indias batsmen emerged full of confidence. When Shihkar Dhawan went for 98 england seemed to be reeling them in but centuries helped india retrieve the initiative and a total of 317 look decent. Not for long as Jonny Bairstow and jason roy got england off to a flyer, putting on 135 and victory seemed in their sites. Suddenly the wickets tumbled and the wheels came off. Bairstow going for 94 and from there the innings fizzled away as india held their catches and their nerve. Another emphatic win for them. For england again that at one point promised much but delivered only more disappointment. The england captain eoin morgan was honest in his assesment of the defeat. We made mistakes and india bowled well. Forthe we made mistakes and india bowled well. For the majority of todays game we played really well. Its a shame we couldnt build on the bowling units effort to restrict india to 118. Two fantastic openers upfront. We failed to continue to build partnerships from there. That was what happened, really. The British And Irish Lions will tour south africa this summer after plans to host the tour elsewhere were all rejected. The possibility of switching the tour to britain and ireland or even hosting it in australia had been raised due to the covid pandemic but was ruled out. The three test series gets under Way Injohannesburg on the 24th ofjuly after a number of warm up games beforehand. The former huddersfield, leicester and bolton striker Frank Worthington has died at the age of 72 after being unwell for several years. Hell be best remembered for scoring one of the greatest goals ever seen, playing for bolton in 1979. Even the referee applauded. Worthington won the golden boot that season, beating Kenny Dalglish to the leading scorer� s award. After starting his career at huddersfield in the 60s he played for more than 20 clubs and was capped eight times for england. 0nce described by former huddersfield and bolton manager ian greaves as the working mans george best, worthington was known as much for his flamboyant antics off the pitch as he was for his talents on it. Frank worthington, whos died at the age of 72. Aberdeen have confirmed that former player Stephen Glass is the clubs new manager, replacing derek mcinnes. Glass started his career at pittodrie and made 131 appearances in an aberdeen shirt. He also played for newcastle, watford and hibs.

J from next week anyone in england trying to travel abroad without a reasonable excuse could be fined up to £5,000. The government says the new laws, which mps will vote on later this week, are designed to guard against tourists bringing back new Coronavirus Variants into the country. But holidays abroad later this summer have not yet been ruled out. Caroline davies reports. Memories of Summer Holidays past. Snapshots of smiles. And small moments of family time together. Its been many months since this little boy, hugo, has seen his grandparents in poland. We mention grandpa and grandma and the rest of the family and he goes quiet and silent and it worries me. I think so many of us have valid reasons to want to go on holiday, but i do think that there is a difference between going for leisure versus going to see your family. But for now, a trip to see grandparents abroad or holidays are still illegal and from monday the government wants anybody travelling abroad without a legally permitted reason to be fined £5,000. The intention is to stop the spread of new cases and variants which might put the vaccine roll out at risk. The proposed legislation could be in place until the 30th ofjune, but the government says the timetable it set out in the road map last month still stands. When we might be able to travel internationally again is still uncertain. The first date though to bear in mind is the 12th of april, that is when a report will be published that will set out some of the guidelines that could mean International Travel can restart. The second date is the 17th of may, that is the earliest date that International Travel from england could begin again, but there is no guarantee that that wont be pushed back. No date has been set for International Travel for scotland, wales and Northern Ireland. Some in the industry are frustrated by the announcement. Its speculation. Until the Travel Task Force reports back on April The 12th and to have these fines come into force now is just another blow. If the government wanted these draconian measures, they should have been introduced back when International Holidays were first banned. It is more scaremongering. For those hoping to get away, the waiting is difficult, raising their hopes only to reel them back in again in the painful uncertainty of the pandemic. Lets see how this has gone down politically. 0ur political correspondent, helen catt, is at westminster tonight. Interesting in the press conference.

Scotlands First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has won a vote of no confidence in the Holyrood Parliament with a convincing majority. It follows the publication of a report this morning which accused her of misleading a Parliamentary Committee looking into her handling of Sexual Harassment allegations made against her predecessor, alex salmond. Yesterday a separate, independent inquiry cleared ms sturgeon of breaking the ministerial code. 0ur Scotland Editor sarah smith has this report. Cleared by an independent enquiry yesterday, today Nicola Sturgeon has been found to have misled a Holyrood Committee and faced a vote of no confidence. No First Minister who truly wanted to live up to the ideals of this parliament should feel able to continue in post after having beenjudged guilty of misleading it. How can parliament have confidence in the words of a First Minister whose words have been found to be false . If you think you can bully me out of office, you are mistaken and you misjudge me. If you want to remove me as First Minister, do it in an election. She comfortably won the vote, but the report from the Holyrood Committee may be an ongoing problem. The report finds that the two women who made complaints against alex salmond were badly failed by this seriously flawed way the Scottish Government investigated their claims. But the msps on the committee could not agree on Nicola Sturgeons role. They split along Party Political lines with the snp members voting against the parts of the report that criticised the first minster. That i will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Nicola sturgeon and alex salmond gave conflicting evidence to the committee. She firmly denies his claim that she offered to intervene in the harassment investigation. The report says her evidence is an inaccurate account of what happened and that she has misled the committee. It also said it was inappropriate for her to continue meeting mr salmond during the investigation, and that it is hard to believe Nicola Sturgeon did not know of concerns about inappropriate behaviour on the part of alex salmond prior to november 2017. Its a shame that a Committee Report of this nature has become tainted by very obvious political bias along party lines on some conclusions. But where there are reflections, and the government has always said we made mistakes when it comes to the implementation of the procedure looking at complaints into alex salmond. To suggest that the committee is partisan when you have had united an independent and a labour member, conservative member, liberal democrat, i think the truth is that the members of the snp i were never going to be i criticising a First Minister from their own party, whatever evidence we took. Nicola sturgeon will remain as First Minister for another six weeks at least. On may the 6th, it is up to the voters to decide if she should remain in office. With an election so close, its unlikely this row is over yet. Sarah smith, bbc news, edinburgh. Now its time for a look at the weather with louise lear. Good evening. Once again, a cloudy start across the country but the cloud broke up for some of us. Across central and southern england, a beautiful afternoon. Look at dorset earlier on. Moving through the night and in due tomorrow, the weather story is starting to change. A Weather Front is going to introduce more cloud and light, patchy rain into the south and east. Behind it, the isobars squeezing together. A blustery afternoon with plenty of showers. Theyll be there from the word go into the far north of scotland, becoming more extensive as we go through the afternoon. Had a bit, decent sunshine to come through, a weak Weather Front lingering in the far South East Corner by the middle of the afternoon. Top temperatures of 8 11. To the north, highest values of 13 at least if we get the sunshine. Looking ahead, thursday will be a case of sunny spells and scattered showers, most frequent to the west. A colder day for all on friday. Still windy with some showers around. Hello this is bbc news with tim willcox. The headlines 0n the anniversary of the first lockdown, a minutes silence is observed across the United Kingdom to remember those who have died during the coronavirus pandemic. For month after month, our collective fight against coronavirus was Like Fighting in the dark against a callous and invisible enemy. Untilscience against a callous and invisible enemy. Until science helped us to turn the lights and to gain the upper hand. Uk deaths have fallen below the five year average for the First Time Since the summer, an indication that lockdown and the vaccine roll out have saved lives, but englands Chief Medical Officer warns were not in the clear yet. There are going to be lots of tests on the road from here on in, there will definitely be an upsurge at some point, whether it is before winter or next winter, we do not know. And the Holiday Expense you could do without plans for a £5,000 fine for anyone travelling abroad from england. Scotlands First Minister survives a vote of no confidence it comes after a Parliamentary Committee said she had misled them. The team behind the astrazeneca vaccine finds itself embroiled in another row over its trial data this time in the United States. It comes a day after the Company Released findings from its us trials, suggesting the jab was 79 effective against symptomatic illness and 100 effective against severe forms of the disease. But a Us Health Agency has questioned whether the company had used the most recent data available. Earlier, our medical editor fergus walsh spoke to my colleague george alagiah. This is a surprising and unfortunate row and it emerged Out Of The Blue when this independent team of scientists overlooking the Trial Results in the us issued a statement expressing concern that astrazeneca may have included outdated information which gave an incomplete picture about the jabs effectiveness. That is a real scientific rebuke. Astrazeneca has said the interim analysis included results up to mid february and more up to date data would be released within 48 hours, which it says are consistent with the findings released yesterday. So why does this matter . Well, Clinical Trials are the bedrock of medicine and it is vital that scientists and the public can be confident in the results. And rows like this risk increasing vaccine hesitancy. This jab already has an Image Problem on Continental Europe and in some ways, the study has been overtaken by events. More people are receiving the jab in the uk every hour than got it on this trial and the real world data has confirmed that the vaccine is safe, highly effective and is saving lives. Lets get more now on the news that next week, anyone in england trying to travel abroad without a reasonable excuse could be fined up to £5,000. In the last hour, the Health Secretary matt hancock told the bbc it was still too early to make a decision on Summer Travel. We are going to set out what we do know and what we think is wise next month and not have International Travel before the 17th of may, part of the so called step three, but we just do not know yet whether it is going to be safe to have large scale International Travel this summer. With me is Travel Editor for the independent, simon calder and also im joined by Travel Editor of the sun, lisa minot. It is all a bit up in the air at the moment except we will not be on a plane is.

Until then, we reallyjust do not know. Simon, it is April The 5th i think now, because the Prime Minister brought it forward by week.

That they are obviously in a lot of trouble and i would really recommend people did not do that, people did not try to make sure they had something booked and then perhaps cancel it, because the whole industry is really in crisis at the moment and they need to know that they have a set number of people bucking and travelling with them. ,. ,. ,. , with them.

Very much so. I think they really are desperate to travel abroad right now and they recognise the fact that the Vaccine Programme in the uk has been hugely successful and with a very high take up. But what we are seeing from the government, and also the eu commission, who announced their proposals last week, was that these Vaccine Passports will not necessarilyjust be about vaccines, they will be about having a negative coronavirus test, or antibodies. What you have seen though as you have seen increasing numbers of Travel Companies saying that they will actually restart operations, in thinking the likes of the Cruise Companies particularly, the likes of princess, Royal Caribbean and others, they will say they will restart operations to vaccinate passengers, so there is definitely a real split there between companies that decided they want to have only vaccinated passengers on board, and thatis vaccinated passengers on board, and that is going to have a real impact on people who are not yet at the age where they have been invited to have their vaccine, and other companies, their vaccine, and other companies, the government in general and the eu who are saying we have to have a broader spectrum, who are saying we have to have a broaderspectrum, it who are saying we have to have a broader spectrum, it had to be a Digital Health passport that proves you do not have coronavirus, rather than proving you have a jab.

The shooting happened in the city of boulder. Those who died included a Police Officer. David willis reports. Early afternoon in a residential area of boulder, colorado, and police are called to a local Grocery Store where a man with a rifle had opened fire. As people were led to safety, chilling video emerged of victims lying wounded, both inside and outside the store. Among the dead was local Police Officer eric talley, a veteran of the local police force. Officer eric talley arrived on the scene, was the first on the scene, and was fatally shot. I also want to commend the heroic actions of the officers responding not only from boulder pd but from across the county. Police officers actions fell nothing short of being heroic. Pictures from the scene showed a middle aged man, shirtless and dressed in shorts, being led away from the Grocery Store in handcuffs. One of his legs appeared to be coated in blood. Officials wont confirm he was the gunman, nor will they comment on a possible motive. Pulling onto broadway here. As swat Team Officers converged on the scene, the white house said President Biden had been briefed on the incident. Last month, on the third anniversary of a Mass Shooting in florida in which 17 people died, he called for Background Checks on anyone seeking to buya gun, and a ban on Assault Weapons. But this is the second Mass Shooting in this country in the space of a week, and it has already prompted calls for a new National Conversation about gun violence. One senator, a member of the Senate Judiciary committee tweeted. The State Of Colorado is no stranger to gun violence. 12 people lost their lives in the city of aurora in 2012 after a gunman opened fire into a crowded cinema. 13 when two students stormed into a high school before killing themselves. But the right to own a gun is enshrined in the constitution here, and those seeking a change in the law have had their attempts thwarted many times before. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. President biden has given his reaction to the shootings. He urged congress not to waste a second and bring in tougher gun legislation. We can ban Assault Weapons and high capacity magazines in this country once again. I got that done when i was a senator. It passed, it was law for the longest time, and brought down these mass killings. We should do it again. We can close loopholes on our Background Check System including the charleston loophole. Thats one of the best tools we have right now to prevent gun violence. The senate should immediately pass, let me say it again, the United States senate. I hope some are listening, should immediately pass the two house passed bills that close loopholes in the Background Check System. These are bills that received votes from republicans and democrats in the house. This is not, should not be a partisan issue. This is an american issue. It will save lives. You are watching bbc news. The headlines on bbc news on the anniversary of the first lockdown, a minutes silence is observed across the United Kingdom to remember those who have died during the coronavirus pandemic. Uk deaths have fallen below the five year average for the First Time Since the summer, an indication that lockdown and the vaccine roll out have saved lives, but englands Chief Medical Officer warns were not in the clear yet. And the Holiday Expense you could do without plans for a £5,000 fine for anyone travelling abroad from england. Now, scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider at cern in Switzerland Have made a Breakthrough Discovery about how a certain Subatomic Particle behaves and it could change our understanding of how the universe works. This report from our science correspondent pallab ghosh. The Large Hadron Collider was built to discover brand new particles and transform our understanding of the physics. By crashing the particles together harder than they have been smashed before, the researchers there may have done just that. They have observed Subatomic Particles behaving in a way that cannot be explained by the current theory of physics. The scientists may have made one of the biggest discoveries in physics. We were literally shaking. We were shaking like a leaf the first time we looked at these results, because if it does turn out to be real, it could really have profound consequences for physics in general. The team have been creating a particle called a beauty quark. It exists for only a Fragment Of A Second and then decays into two other particles, which it should do in equal numbers, but it doesnt. Possibly because a Mystery Force is interrupting the process. Physicists can explain the world around us through the reaction of four fundamental forces electricity, gravity and two Nuclear Forces but in recent times, these forces have not been able to explain a few things such as the movement of galaxies or indeed why the universe exists at all. But this new finding is creating a lot of excitement, because it contains hints that there might be a fifth force of nature that is completely new to science. If there is a fifth force, it could answer a lot of questions currently baffling astronomers. There are these Big Questions in physics that we do not have the answers to and the hope would be, as the lhc continues to make discoveries, maybe we could shed some light on those Big Questions of physics. These very early results are not definitive yet. More data is needed, but they are generating a lot of excitement about the prospect of a giant leap forward in our understanding of the universe. Pallab ghosh, bbc news. Lets speak now to dr Paula Alvarez cartelle, a lecturer at the university of cambridge, who was one of the scientific leaders behind the finding. Im not sure if you are italian or spanish, forgive me. In terms of what has been discovered, does this mean the original theory, which we believed it to be true for decades, hundreds of years, is wrong . I think it is too early hundreds of years, is wrong . I think it is too early for hundreds of years, is wrong . I think it is too early for such hundreds of years, is wrong . I think it is too early for such a hundreds of years, is wrong . I think it is too early for such a claim, hundreds of years, is wrong . I think it is too early for such a claim, so i it is too early for such a claim, so the big caveats to this results is that actually what we are observing could still be explained byjust a chance. So this means there still one a thousand chance of the subatomic being correct and may be just for reference, i can tell you that physicists usually get excited about new discoveries only when at this probability is actually much smaller, some around one in 7 million chance for this kind of situation. So i think it is a bit early to definitively say. Indulge us. If this is early to definitively say. Indulge us. If this is true, early to definitively say. Indulge us. If this is true, what early to definitively say. Indulge us. If this is true, what with early to definitively say. Indulge us. If this is true, what with this Fifth Element to be . I have been trying to get my head around it earlier on and i was looking into the standard model, then i was looking into the beauty of quark, can you just unpick that for us . And without help explain what the Fifth Element would be . The without help explain what the Fifth Element would be . Without help explain what the Fifth Element would be . ,. ,. ,. , element would be . The standard model is our best understanding element would be . The standard model is our best understanding of element would be . The standard model is our best understanding of one element would be . The standard model is our best understanding of one of is our best understanding of one of these at Subatomic Particles and it is just essentially a mathematical description of the fundamental Building Blocks of matter and the way that these blocks interact with each other to give us all that the matter that we see around us. So in the lhc, what we do is collide protons of high energy and we produce a huge amount of energy, these kind of Subatomic Particles which are called Beauty Quarks which are essentially heavier properties of the quarks which form part our regular atoms. This particular type of parts cool actually became very quickly and what we are measuring is the rate at which these big quarks came into different types of particles, electrons which are part of how we build our matter, or another which are essentially a carbon copy of an electron. You are losin Me Carbon Copy of an electron. You are losing me a carbon copy of an electron. You are losing me a bit. Carbon copy of an electron. You are losing me a bit, but carbon copy of an electron. You are losing me a bit, but if carbon copy of an electron. You are losing me a bit, but if we carbon copy of an electron. You are losing me a bit, but if we do carbon copy of an electron. You are losing me a bit, but if we do not. Losing me a bit, but if we do not know what the fifth force of nature is, do we have any guesses . 0r because we have no idea at all, we have no idea . Because we have no idea at all, we have no idea . Yes, essentially there are many proposed have no idea . Yes, essentially there are many proposed different have no idea . Yes, essentially there are many proposed different models| are many proposed different models that essentially are proposed to address these Big Questions that was being talked about which open our understanding of the universe. So some of them would be like having extra particles that maybe this time of Quark Particles collides with particles in different ways. There are theories that give you extra forces that you would need to essentially put alongside with your electromagnetism and Nuclear Forces and gravity is a fundamental new force of nature. So that is i think the reason why we are cautiously excited about this measurement. Qm. Excited about this measurement. Ok, i have not excited about this measurement. Ok, i have got it excited about this measurement. Ok, i have got it im excited about this measurement. Ok, i have got it imjoking. Thank excited about this measurement. Ok, i have got it im joking. Thank you for explaining anyway, or letting me get somewhere close to understanding it. Thank you very much indeed. Youre watching bbc news. If you have been with us for the past have our past hour, you will know we have been looking at some of the images from the national day of reflection organised by marie curie, where people have been asked to shine at lights, torches and candles to remember notjust those who lost their lives in the pandemic, this their lives in the pandemic, this the First Anniversary of the lockdown, but also for everyone who has died over the past year. Lets just finished this hour with some images from that moment. Good evening. The weather has kept us on our toes today. We anticipated a fairly cloudy story right across the country. Thats how we started, thats not necessarily how we finished it for some. Take a look at london this afternoon with temperatures peaking just shy of 14 celsius. We did start out very cloudy right across the country, but the brakes then started to develop across lincolnshire down towards the Bristol Channel into the west country. Even some sunny breaks as well to the northeast of scotland. Thicker cloud further north and west, the winds are increasing. There is some rain arriving and this whether front continues to push its way south and through the night tonight. It does mean during the early hours of wednesday morning, it will be pushing its way across the pennines and down through wales. Behind it, some clearer skies and temperatures here are likely to fall away despite a few scattered showers. Perhaps low single figures here. But where we keep that weak Weather Front, itll be a rather cloudy and slightly milder start to wednesday morning. But a dull one for many is that whether front continues to push its way down into the southeast corner. Behind it, quite a clearance. Some lovely sunshine coming through. And then a frontal system will bring some sharper showers once again across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland by the end of the day. Highest values perhaps 13 celsius. Thursday, sunny spells and scattered showers are set to continue. It looks as though most of the showers will be out to the west with some sunshine again will come some warmth. But the real change will continue to arrive during thursday into friday. Were going to see this next front through and thats going to introduce a Cooler Air Mass right across the country. The blue tones push their way steady south and east. Noticeable different feel to the weather for friday. Its going to be a blustery day. Sunny spells, scattered showers. Some of those showers heavy with hail, with snow to higher ground. Factor in a blustery strong wind gust in excess of 30 40 mph in the far northwest. Thats going to make it feel cool. Temperatures will struggle for many to climb into double figures. But its not going to last long as we push into the weekend were going to see an area of High Pressure building perhaps on saturday before this next front arrives in on sunday. So basically saturday looks likely to be the best day of the weekend. Largely fine and dry before more wet and windy weather return in the northwest for sunday. Im Laura Trevelyan in new york and this is bbc world news america. The polls have closed in israel as the country votes for the fourth time in two years. Early forecasts suggest another close race. A massive fire at the Rohingya Refugee Camp In Bangladesh has displaced 45,000 people. At least 15 are dead. After americas second Mass Shooting in a week, President Biden calls for gun control as colorado mourns the loss of ten lives. We dont need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take common sense steps that will save lives and the future, and i urge my colleagues in the house and senate to act. Plus, the beauty ofjapans Cherry Blossom season but covid has muted the usual celebrations
