blocking the suez canal for almost a week has reportedly been freed in the early hours of the morning. out of office, for good? four in ten workers say they're happier working from home. but the chancellor warns employers must open up for staff close to quitting because of work from home pressures. england maintain their perfect start to world cup qualifying. captain harry kane keeping them on course for qatar with a goal in their win over albania while ryan fraser salvages scotland a draw against israel. good morning. a cloudy start for many and a wet start for a few of us as well but in england and wales, it will brighten up, some sunshine, and it will be warmer. in scotland and northern ireland, it will also brighten up but we will hang on to the rain in the west with the risk of some flooding. all of the details coming up. it's monday the 29th of march. it's make yeah! good morning! good morning! our top story. two households or groups of up to six people are now able to meet outside in england again as the stay—at—home covid restriction comes to an end. outdoor sport facilities including tennis courts and golf courses are also reopening, and organised outdoor sports can resume. borisjohnson says he's looking forward to a "great british summer of sport" but warned people to stick to the rules. our political correspondent chris mason has this report. ilkeston in derbyshire, and it'sjust gone midnight. the rules now mean outdoor sport in england is legal again and the cycle club here are making the most of it with a nocturnal pedal. give us a wave and a shout! in england from today, the stay—at—home rule is gone. it means up to six people, or two households, can meet outdoors, including in private gardens. in scotland, the stay—at—home rule will change to stay local from the 2nd of april, that's this friday. in northern ireland, six people from two households will be able to meet in a private garden from thursday. and in wales, the stay local rule was scrapped on saturday. in england, golf courses reopened this morning, and the hardy can plunge into an outdoor swimming tool. and the hardy can plunge into an outdoor swimming pool. but these baby steps back towards normality will be accompanied by a soundtrack of caution. an infected person releases particles into the air by coughing, talking or simply breathing. the government will repeatedly emphasise meet—ups must be outside and socially distanced. because the risk of transmission inside, where ventilation is poorer, is much, much greater. chris mason, bbc news. and we'll be live in a lido in west london later, which has reopened this morning. how do you pronounce it?

justice! when do we want it? now! this is the first time that a white police officer in this state will stand trial for the murder of a black man. chauvin�*s lawyer will argue that this trial is not about race. but for many, it is about the value of a black life in america. security across this city has been stepped up. barricades and fencing surround the court. on the eve of the trial, a vigil with george floyd's family. it shouldn't be two laws, it shouldn't be two justice systems. it shouldn't be one for white america, it shouldn't be one for black america. we are one. a moment to pause and reflect on what might lie ahead. lebo diseko, bbc news, minneapolis. lebo joins us from outside the courthouse in minneapolis now. thank you very much for being with us this morning. give us a run—through of exactly what we are expecting over the next few hours. at 9am local time, we are expecting those opening arguments to begin, and that's when the lawyers from both sides will essentially set out their case. and for both of them, much of that, we expect, will will centre around what the cause of george floyd's death was. the prosecution would like to show that it is derek chauvin�*s actions, so that they will show lots of video from the scene, much we have not seen before, and we expect lots of it to be quite graphic, body cam and bystanders footage. the defence will be trying to show that other factors were at play, ill—health on the part of george floyd and possibly issues such as drug use. they will also want to show that derek chauvin was just following procedure and standard training for police here in this state. there is a huge amount of interest here, this is the first criminal trial that will be live broadcast in this state because the judge recognise the public interest and because of covid restrictions, people are unable to go to the court or view it in the way they might normally do. or view it in the way they might normally tie-— or view it in the way they might normally do— or view it in the way they might normall do. ., ~' , ., , . or view it in the way they might normall do. ., ,, , . ., normally do. thank you very much for that, we will— normally do. thank you very much for that, we will be _ normally do. thank you very much for that, we will be covering _ normally do. thank you very much for that, we will be covering that - normally do. thank you very much for that, we will be covering that case - that, we will be covering that case on breakfast over the next few days. dozens of people are dead following an attack on the town of palma in northern mozambique. seven were killed trying to escape a siege on a hotel, while hundreds of others, both locals and foreigners, were reportedly rescued. the area has been under attack by islamist militants since wednesday. many missing people, including foreign workers, are yet to be accounted for. you might be already be familiar with the story of 11—year—old max woosey who has spent the past year sleeping in a tent in his back garden in memory of two family friends who passed away last year. look at him! last night was max's 365th day sleeping outdoors, marking a full year since he began his challenge, raising more than £500,000 for charity. so, i've raised over half a million pounds now. it's absolutely mad. i just want to say thank you to all the people who have sponsored me, and all the people who did max's big camp out. what an amazing achievement. what a bo , rain, what an amazing achievement. what a boy. rain. cold. _ what an amazing achievement. what a boy, rain, cold, outside, _ what an amazing achievement. what a boy, rain, cold, outside, i— what an amazing achievement. what a boy, rain, cold, outside, i saw- what an amazing achievement. what a boy, rain, cold, outside, i saw an - boy, rain, cold, outside, isaw an interview with his mum last week he just says she wants him back in his house! �* , ., just says she wants him back in his house! �* ,, ., , just says she wants him back in his house! �* ., , ., house! but you would be so bad, an incredible achievement. _ house! but you would be so bad, an incredible achievement. well- house! but you would be so bad, an incredible achievement. well done, | incredible achievement. well done, max. i incredible achievement. well done, max- lwonder— incredible achievement. well done, max. i wonder if— incredible achievement. well done, max. i wonder if it _ incredible achievement. well done, max. i wonder if it was _ incredible achievement. well done, max. i wonder if it was chilly - incredible achievement. well done, max. i wonder if it was chilly for - max. i wonder if it was chilly for him last night?— max. i wonder if it was chilly for him last night?

very nice, we are talking about working from home which may he could have done just now! welcome to the bbc breakfast office, sort of. it's a bit empty at the moment but i'm next to the water cooler where all the best gossip happens. there is the big boss's office, you don't want to end up in there. dan's huge dressing room is in the corner. rightly so! i have my own personal toilet in there! the rightly so! i have my own personal toilet in there!— toilet in there! the biggest one in the building. _ toilet in there! the biggest one in the building, he _ toilet in there! the biggest one in the building, he insists. - but not many people. because although we're here, most of the bbc breakfast gang are working from home. in england, today's changes lift of the stay at home order. but they don't change the guidance around home working. in fact guidance to "work from home where they can" will remain until at least the 21stjune. big decision for big companies around what should and will stick. nationwide has said its 13,000 office staff can now work from anywhere. the office, their local building society or home. it's not for everyone, though. we spoke to kris, he is not relishing a return to his desk. i don't miss the office banter. it's classic presenteeism. people turning up because a lot ofjobs, we do have statutory sick pay, but a lot ofjobs only offer that, so you don't get fully paid for when you're off sick. so people come in with a bug, and people like me, i've got pretty bad asthma. so if i get even a cold, it floors me for a few days. if i get the flu, it floors me for a few weeks. but because people who can kind of power through it will come into an office, that gets passed around and you get a workplace epidemic. kris isn't alone either. a new survey out today says 40% of workers are happier at home. no long commute, no awkward office chat, no expensive lunches. none of that awkward chat here! some smaller firms have closed their offices for good. but the chancellor, rishi sunak, has warned companies that force people to work from home could see their workers walk out in favour of traditional workplaces. sarah runs a small company that she says works best with people creating things together in person. oh, i really missed it, yes. and i also missed the experience ofjust being in the office and, you know, wearing nice clothes instead ofjoggers, talking to people about what they've been doing, you know, that office banter is so important. and i think as human beings, we need other human beings in our life. because otherwise we just become quite lonely. i think there's much more to talk about when you've been to work, when you come home, there's stuff to tell people. you can be much more inventive and creative when you're bouncing ideas off of other people. we have a sofa in our office and we call them sofa chats, where we literallyjust go and sit, chat about the work that we are doing and it's amazing how much more creative you can be when you're sharing ideas. that survey i mentioned also backs sarah up too. 44% of workers would feel more disconnected if their company moves towards permanent homeworking. so what's the answer? a mix of the two? that seems to be the consenus from experts. mixing it up or giving people the choice. that's fine for nationwide or the bbc, but what about smaller companies? we'd love to hear your thoughts on this one. are you dreading the morning commute or are you excited to catch up with colleagues at the water cooler? drop us an email. or let us know on facebook or twitter. thank you. of course, we have not been working from home at all. i did do some working _ been working from home at all. i c c do some working from home radio broadcasting and it is the best of times in the worst of times because it was nice to have the kids there all the time but in other ways it was horrendous to have the kids there all the time. i was horrendous to have the kids there all the time.— there all the time. i love your honesty- _ there all the time. i love your honesty- i— there all the time. i love your honesty. i enjoyed _ there all the time. i love your honesty. i enjoyed your- there all the time. i love your| honesty. i enjoyed your virtual honesty. i en'oyed your virtual office as honesty. i enjoyed your virtual office as well, _ honesty. i enjoyed your virtual office as well, very _ honesty. i enjoyed your virtual office as well, very true - honesty. i enjoyed your virtual office as well, very true to - honesty. i enjoyed your virtual| office as well, very true to life. see you — office as well, very true to life. see you later on. let's take a look at today's papers. �*jabby monday�* is the headline on the front of the metro. the paper notes that more than 30 million people have now received their first covid vaccine across the uk, as outdoor gatherings of up to six people are permitted in england from today. the times has a picture of two friends meeting up at a lido in london. outdoor swimming is also now allowed alongside other outdoor sports in england. the express claims that the prime minister borisjohnson is set to take aim at obesity and ill health with an initiative to cut what it calls a £100 billion sickness bill. we will be talking about that later on. and in the us, the minneapolis star tribune looks ahead to the trial of former police officer derek chauvin, who is charged with the murder of george floyd, which resumes later today. lots to talk about this morning. and the changes in england and the return of golf. when i say lots to talk about, it's basically me! and lots of other people, i considered sleeping with my golf clubs last night. sleeping with my golf clubs last niuht. , , ., sleeping with my golf clubs last niuht. , ., ., sleeping with my golf clubs last niht. ., ., , night. just to reacquaint yourself?

trade routes, the suez canal, for nearly a week has been refloated. let's get the latest now from our correspondent sally nabil. good morning, lovely to see you. what can you tell us? it is a huge breakthrough, we understand the ship has been partially refloated, and it is just the bow that is stuck now. efforts are under way to try and dislodge it. last night, rescue efforts were aided by the high tide. ten tug boats took part in the operation, and before that, dredgers have managed to remove around 30,000 cubic metres of sand, making room for the ship to move. once the ship is fully refloated, it has to be checked and inspected by experts, it can't operate on the spot. so it has to be checked first to see if there is any damage caused to the body. the question is now, how the authorities here are going to address the huge backlog of ships resulting from the blockage, more than 400 ships are awaiting in the suez canal, stranded here, waiting to resume theirjourneys. according to resume theirjourneys. according to sources we have been talking to, navigation in the canal is expected to be resumed within hours, and i believe that will be a relief for the global market because this current deadlock, or the deadlock over the past days, has affected oil prices, it's affected global trade, pretty clearly the canal is one of the busiest trade routes around the world. more than 10% of global trade passes through this strategic waterway. so i think we are expecting more good news in the few hours to come, and that will be a relief for everyone.— relief for everyone. thank you so much, relief for everyone. thank you so much. sally- _ relief for everyone. thank you so much, sally. reporting - relief for everyone. thank you so much, sally. reporting live -

of what's involved in an operation like this. he's in glasgow this morning. good morning. it looks like the end is in sight, what have they had to do to even get to this point? 50. do to even get to this point? so, this -e do to even get to this point? so, this type of _ do to even get to this point? srr, this type of recovery do to even get to this point? s57, this type of recovery as do to even get to this point? sti, this type of recovery as part of a larger, let's say, a group of maritime operations, which are called salvage operations. and there are companies which specialise in them. well known previous salvage operations are for instance the costa concordia. but i think the operation in the case of the ever given is referred to as a re—floating. as the vessel regained all of its pointy and float ability. these operations can take from a few hours, which is the usual, to several days, as we have in this case. to refloat a grounded vessel, two things need to happen. first, the vertical force acting from the sea bed needs to be reduced, and secondly, the vessel needs to be towed to a location where the water bed is great. this is the second part of the operation which your correspondent mentioned. the geographical restrictions of the suez canal make the operation is more challenging. for the reduction of the verticalforce, more challenging. for the reduction of the vertical force, there are two options, the first one is to increase the buoyancy which for the stranded ship means that the water level should rise. in this way is the case of the high tide of this canal which helped the stern of the vessel to be freed. the other way is to reduce the weight of the ship, to reduce the fuel, cargo or remove containers. reduce the fuel, cargo or remove containm—

there is some damage to the boat —— to the bow section of the vessel but it is minor. so there is some work to be done but i think very soon the vessel will be free—floating again. the inspection will show whether the vessel can be towed to a safe place and release the canal for normal operation. and release the canal for normal operation-— operation. professor evangelos boulougouris, _ operation.

hospital admin staff and even surgeons who've been volunteering, to use zoom and facetime to bring families and patients in intensive care together. with visits not being allowed, university college hospital has been using volunteers to visit icu patients, who can be in a critical condition, to allow families to see and speak to their loved ones. we let them spend the last few hours with their relative while they are dying and we are there to support them. so we are there to hold their hand, make them a cup of tea, ask questions and wejust hand, make them a cup of tea, ask questions and we just try and make it a vaguely more bearable than it is. well, the the intensive care society has called for support to be given to those volunteers and others on the front—line of the pandemic. as far as the impact more broadly is concerned, a yougov survey has found that more than three quarters of londoners of different ages believe the coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted upon their mental health. it's why bbc london is focussing on mental health for both front line workers and the wider public, on our programmes today at 1.30. 6.30 and 10.30 tonight on bbc one, as well as our social media platforms. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the overground is part suspended between willesden junction and watford junction due to late finishing engineering works. on the roads, at kew bridge a lane is closed for roadworks into town towards chiswick. the traffic lights aren't working on kingston hill near kingston hospital. now the weather with kate. good morning. it's a mild start this morning and the temperature over the next few days is set to get warmer. we've got a ridge of high pressure building in. nowe have have got quite a bit of cloud this morning. some breaks, but eventually the sunshine will melt that away, leading to a dry, sunny and warm afternoon. quite a keen south—westerly wind, but temperatures still getting up to 20, maybe even 21 celsius by the end of the day. overnight tonight, it's dry and it's clear. the temperature's going to drop quite far, down to low single figures, between two and six celsius the minimum. the chance of some shallow mist and fog patches developing. first thing tomorrow those shallow mist and fog patches will lift, another day of sunshine. you can see this yellow area — that's the warm air. that's going to stay with us on tuesday and wednesday. it's not until thursday you'll notice that blue colder air starts to sink a little bit further south. that is when the temperature will drop again. so for the next couple of days temperatures getting up to 22, maybe even 23 celsius, then getting much colder by the easter weekend. if you want to know why spongy roads are coming to slough, richmond—upon—thames, barnet, harrow and brent, then go to our website. it's all got to do with wuhan and china — but it's nothing to do with the coronavirus. i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning... we'll hear from oscar frontrunner vanessa kirby about her powerful portrayal of a grieving mother in pieces of a woman. the comedian romesh ranganathan will be here to talk about his book life lessons from a reluctant adult. and we'll be paying tribute to the footballing hero jack charlton ahead of tonight's documentary, which was filmed in the last year of his remarkable life. and that is a beautiful phone. it is gorgeous. really worth watching. as family and friends reunite and sports clubs start up again, people in england will start enjoying more freedom from today. the government is urging caution though. let's get more on this with our gp this morning, nighat arif. good morning. lovely to

fair few opinions gareth southgate's team selections as they head into the euros. two wins from two offerings and at the moment. scotland were in action as well. back in the side, harry kane, and back in the goals to make it two wins from two. scotland unbeaten thanks to ryan fraser's equaliser against israel, as ben croucher reports. faced with san marino, then albania, the expectation was for england to win both comfortably. the reality yesterday in tirana was that it should have been more comfortable than it was. harry kane dived head first into goal—scoring duties to put england in front. instead of how many, it became more how — how did kane manage to miss this? how did the albania keeper stop this? he had a helping hand from the post. albania barely threatened throughout. indeed their main contribution in front of goal was gifting the ball to england, allowing mason mount to overcome a stubborn opponent. two wins from two, the least gareth southgate would expect, you suspect. i was very pleased with the performance. we've had two good performances this week. i'm pushing for a bit more, because i think that's the standard we've got to set if we want to be a really top team. two from two for scotland too, draws rather than wins though. with israel's vaccine roll—out success, 5,000 were allowed to watch in tel aviv. this was dor peretz scoring from quote a the social distance. the same couldn't be said for the jubilant fans though. ryan fraser had the antidote to scotland's troubles. a 1—1 draw not a bad result, but the harsh reality is they'll need wins if they are to reach qatar next year. ben croucher, bbc news. not helped by denmark winning both of their games. northern ireland were beaten for the second time in four days, this time in a friendly against the usa in belfast. giovanni reyna and christian pulisic put the americans ahead. a great strike from niall mcginn got northern ireland back in the game, but it finished 2—1. they face bulgaria in a world cup qualifier on wednesday. chelsea are back on top in the women's super league. they won 2—0 at home to aston villa — sam kerr with both their goals — to move back above manchester city. and what a title race it's turning into — they're two points clear with four games to go. we could be in for a thrilling title race in formula one if the first grand prix is anything to go by. lewis hamilton pushed all the way for his win in bahrain. max verstappen, who had started on pole, moved ahead of hamilton with just four laps remaining. but because he'd run off the track, he was ordered to hand back the lead and didn't get another chance to overtake, hamilton hanging on for victory. they said, like, he's going to catch you with ten laps to go, and i was thinking, i don't know how i'm going to do this. but, you know, we knew this weekend and through testing that we were going to be on the back foot, and there's been a lot of worry, i think, in the team. but we pulled it through. sam curran did everything in his power to get england over the line in their one—day series decider with india in pune. chasing 330 for victory, england were falling well short, but a brilliant 95 from the 22—year—old curran took the match down to the final over, only to fall seven runs short. so england head home having lost the test, t20 and one—day series. bittersweet for a

weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. bbc london has been given access to dentists, hospital admin staff and even surgeons who've been voluteering to use zoom and facetime to bring families and patients in intensive care together. with visits not being allowed, university college hospital has been using volunteers to visit icu patients in a critical condition to allow families to see and speak to their loved ones. we let them spend the last few hours with their relative while they are dying and we are there to support them. so we are there to hold their hand, make them a cup of tea, ask questions and we just try and make it a vaguely more bearable than it is. well, the intensive care society has called for support to be given to those volunteers and others on the frontline of the pandemic. as far as the impact more broadly is concerned, a yougov survey has found that more than three quarters of londoners of different ages believe the coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted upon their mental health. it's why bbc london is focussing on mental health for both frontline workers and the wider public on our programmes today at 1.30, 6.30 and 10.30 tonight on bbc one. as well as on our social media platforms. let's take a look at the travel situation now. bakerloo line: minor delays between stonebridge park and harrow & wealdstone due to a late finish to engineering work. the overground has severe delays between willesden junction and watford junction due to late finishing engineering works. on the roads, kew bridge, a lane is closed for road works into town towards chiswick. in kingston, the traffic lights aren't working on kingston hill near kingston hospital. a lane is closed for gas works in both directions on great chertsey road in west london just off the hospital bridge roundabout. now the weather with kate. good morning. it's a mild start this morning and the temperature over the next few days is set to get warmer. we've got a ridge of high pressure building in. now have have got quite a bit of cloud this morning. some breaks, but eventually the sunshine will melt that away, leading to a dry, sunny and warm afternoon. quite a keen south—westerly wind, but temperatures still getting up to 20, maybe even 21 celsius by the end of the day. overnight tonight, it's dry and it's clear. the temperature's going to drop quite far, down to low single figures, between two and six celsius the minimum. the chance of some shallow mist and fog patches developing. first thing tomorrow those shallow mist and fog patches will lift, another day of sunshine. you can see this yellow area — that's the warm air. that's going to stay with us on tuesday and wednesday. it's not until thursday you'll notice that blue colder air starts to sink a little bit further south. that is when the temperature will drop again. so for the next couple of days temperatures getting up to 22, maybe even 23 celsius, then getting much colder by the easter weekend. if you want to know why spongy roads are coming to slough, richmond—upon—thames, barnet, harrow and brent, then go to our website. the story is doing very well on the website at the

chris mason has this report. ilkeston in derbyshire, and it'sjust gone midnight. the rules now mean outdoor sport in england is legal again and the cycle club here are making the most of it with a nocturnal pedal. give us a wave and a shout! in england from today, the stay—at—home rule is gone. it means up to six people, or two households, can meet outdoors, including in private gardens. in scotland, the stay—at—home rule will change to stay local from the 2nd of april, that's this friday. in northern ireland, six people from two households will be able to meet in a private garden from thursday. and in wales, the stay local rule was scrapped on saturday. in england, golf courses reopened this morning, and the hardy can plunge into an outdoor swimming pool. but these baby steps back towards normality will be accompanied by a soundtrack of caution. an infected person releases particles into the air by coughing, talking or simply breathing. the government will repeatedly emphasise meet—ups must be outside and socially distanced. because the risk of transmission inside, where ventilation is poorer, is much, much greater. chris mason, bbc news. let's get more now from our political correspondent, iain watson, who joins us from westminster. good morning. the restrictions is easing in england is clearly coming this time around with a hefty one, how concerned is the government about the weeks ahead? —— with a hefty warning. the about the weeks ahead? -- with a hefty warning-— hefty warning. the government ministers say — hefty warning. the government ministers say according - hefty warning. the government ministers say according to - hefty warning. the government ministers say according to the i hefty warning. the government - ministers say according to the data that they have at the moment, they are confident that they can meet the rest of the road map in england, meaning that i could get a professional haircut on april the 12th, people can start staying indoors with friends on may 17. they think the data is pointing to that now but they are equally talking about this third wave sweeping the continent and lapping up on our shores. forthat continent and lapping up on our shores. for that reason we are going to see any brilliance from the prime minister at his press conference later today matched with a note of caution —— any cheerfulness. people will be told not to run before they can walk. stressing with the advertising campaign that the virus is far more virulent indoors, so fresh air is the key to this, meeting people outdoors, and to continue to follow the rules, not to go indoors if the weather turns cold at the weekend, for example. if people can stick to the rules, the government is confident it can continue its programme of unlocking and suddenly the message we will get from the prime minister today is he believes that this idea that we can get more social contact is the thing that can lift the spirits of the nation. and he is keen on the idea of outdoor sports returning, he thinks this will be especially good for young people. to some extent he hopes people will be in a better frame of mind, hoping that they do not rush to take advantage of the freedom and put to the rest of the road map at risk. a single dose of the pfizer and astrazeneca vaccines was effective at stopping 62% of coronavirus infections in care homes, according to a new study. a team at university college london looked at data from 10,000 adults in england with an average age of 86. the research also suggested those who did catch the virus after vaccination may be less infectious. the trial of the police officer derek chauvin, accused of killing george floyd, starts in the us today. mr floyd's death was captured on video and sparked protests against racism across the world. lebo diseko reports. a life memorialised by a community that cannot forget. the pain of what happened here almost a year ago is still visible. this is where george floyd lay dying, a policeman kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes as mr floyd repeatedly said, "i can't breathe." today, that former officer, derek chauvin, goes on trial for george floyd's death. he's charged with two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter. at first, minneapolis police said that mr floyd had been resisting arrest. but the video seemed to tell a different story. chauvin was arrested. the images of george floyd on the ground begging for his life ripped open america's unhealed wounds on race and how black americans are policed. people took to the streets in cities across this country, sparking the biggest protest movement since the civil rights days. the events engulfed the white house and reverberated across the world, forcing a global reckoning on racism. nojustice, no peace! prosecute the police! for people in minneapolis, the start of the trial brings both hope and trepidation. this is not the first, you know, incidence of police brutality that has never seen justice. so i'm optimistic. but also i don't want to get my hopes up too high. i wantjustice to be served, but i don't know for sure if that will happen. and if it doesn't, ijust fear the reactions and the kickback that might happen. what do we want? justice! when do we want it? now! this is the first time that a white police officer in this state will stand trial for the murder of a black person. chauvin's lawyer will argue that this trial is not about race. but for many, it is about the value of a black life in america. security across this city has been stepped up. barricades and fencing surround the court. on the eve of the trial, a vigil with george floyd's family. it shouldn't be two laws, it shouldn't be two justice systems. it shouldn't be one for white america, it shouldn't be one for black america. we are one. a moment to pause and reflect on what might lie ahead. lebo diseko, bbc news, minneapolis. the huge container ship that's been blocking the suez canal for nearly a week has been partly freed. pictures from social media appear to show a fleet of tug boats dislodging the bow of the ever given just a few hours ago. it's not yet clear if shipping can resume along one of the world's most important waterways. earlier we spoke to our correspondent sally nabil in suez. it's a huge breakthrough. we understand the ship has been partially refloated, and it is just the bow that has been stuck now. efforts are under way to try and dislodge it. the rescue efforts were aided by high tides. ten tug took part in the operation and before thatjudges managed to remove around 30,000 cubic metres —— dredgers managed to remove 30,000 cubic metres of sand enabling the ship to move. once it is refloated, it needs to be inspected, it cannot operate on the spot, it has to be checked to see if there is any damage that has been caused to the body. the question is how authorities are going to address the huge backlog of ships resulting from the blockage. more than 400 ships are waiting in the suez canal, stranded here, waiting to resume theirjourneys. according to sources we have been talking to, navigation in the canal is expected to be resumed within hours, and i believe that will be a relief for the global market because this current deadlock, or the deadlock over the past days, has affected oil prices, it has affected global trade, affected oil prices, it has affected globaltrade, pretty affected oil prices, it has affected global trade, pretty clearly the canal is one of the busiest trade routes around the world. more than 10% of global trade passes through this strategic waterway. so i think we are expecting more good news in a few hours to come, and that will be a relief for everyone. sella; few hours to come, and that will be a relief for everyone.— a relief for everyone. sally talking to us with that _ a relief for everyone. sally talking to us with that important - a relief for

it is light outside, in england, looking for theirfirst knock for a long time. what is the weather like? starting on a cloudy note, and that is more or less across the board. some of us have some rain today, becoming confined to the north and west of the uk, more particularly in scotland. the sun will come out for some and it is going to be quite a warm day. as we go through the week it is getting warmer but by the end of the week it will be cold and by the end of the easter weekend it will be even colder. lots going on with the weather. a cloudy start, here is the way across north—west england, western england and scotland. it will continue to advance north and become heavy and persistent across western scotland with the risk of flooding. come south, the cloud will be breaking up, some sunshine in the channel islands, a bit more cloud lapping onshore turning it hazy. in the irish sea we have some cloud coming across north—west england and west wales through the day but much of england enjoying sunny intervals. drying up in northern ireland but continuing with the rain in the north—west of scotland. temperatures in aberdeen today, 17, 17 in belfast, 19 in hull and norwich and 20 in london, warmth at this stage in march. there will be some patches of mist and fog overnight, some frost in the south—east but for northern ireland, northern england and scotland, more cloud and still rain across the north west. still with the risk of localised flooding. that will be with us once again tomorrow. forthe that will be with us once again tomorrow. for the rest of the uk, variable cloud but a fair bit of sunshine for england and wales, even warmer tomorrow, sunshine for england and wales, even warmertomorrow, highs sunshine for england and wales, even warmer tomorrow,

advertising campaign, which coincides with today's easing of restrictions in england, will stress the importance of ventilation in reducing the spread of the virus. let's take a look. an infected person releases particles into the air by coughing, talking or simply breathing. the closer you are, the greater the risk of breathing in infected particles. letting in fresh air by opening a window can help disperse covid particles. however, outdoors, the risk of infection is significantly lower. fresh air dilutes the virus particles and can blow them away. you also have more space to physically distance. the closer you are, the greater the risk of breathing them in. hands, face, space and fresh air. let's get more now on that new hands, face, space, fresh air message from professor catherine noakes, an environmental engineer and member of the sage advisory group. she's speaking to us in a personal capacity. lovely to see you. let's start with those additional two words, fresh air. how

virus is in the breath, and we know it is in different sizes of particles, and the big droplets drop out of the air very quickly but the very small aerosols which carry the virus can stay in the air and travel some distance and people can breathe them in. if you are indoors, they build up in. if you are indoors, they build up in the space, especially if there is little ventilation, like smoke would do. if you have good ventilation or outdoors, they get dispersed very quickly by the wind and so your chances of beating them in become a lot lower. if you are very —— breeding —— breathing the particles in is lower. if you are close to somebody, you can still breathe their breath in essentially so it is less safe but it is easier to distance outdoors and the particles that carry the virus get dispersed more quickly. taste particles that carry the virus get dispersed more quickly.- dispersed more quickly. we are seeint dispersed more quickly. we are seeing this _ dispersed more quickly.

will be a welcome return for many. fiona lamdin is at park lane stables in south west london which had faced closure during lockdown but was saved by donations from the public. good morning. there is always a buzz when we are at park lane stables. last time they were beyond excited because they had just been saved. this time, there are equally excited because they are getting... sorry! they are getting riders out this morning. apart from me poking him in the eye, this horse is very excited! you can even eat his breakfast. we have been seeing how they —— he can't even eat his breakfast, he's so excited! it's an annual tradition. now safe and secure for years to come. on palm sunday, woody, who is playing jesus, rides marcus through the streets to the local church. well, i'm not a horse rider. but the stables are absolutely amazing because they're really, really inclusive, especially for people living with disabilities. just walking up the road and seeing them clip—clopping along, you know. it's just lovely, just lovely. but last month, these stables were due to be sold. the community had a week to raise £500,000. 350 disabled people are relying on us, so i absolutely have to do it for them. what a difference 24 hours makes. all day, the moneyjust kept coming in, by phone, in person and online. thank you so much. pleasure. they had just seven days to raise the rest of the money, and unbelievably, by mid—morning, they had done it. today's total is £1.5 million, enough for the stables and a field. well, six weeks on, the money and the letters are still coming. this one says, "i'm ten years old, i have autism, i'm donating my pocket money because i love riding". and this one from a 90—year—old, who says she is donating her pension. hello, louis, i'm really happy to say we are open again, so i was calling to see if you wanted to come along on wednesday. as of today, organised outdoor sports in england can restart and these stables will welcome back its 350 riders. one of those is 13—year—old zac, who has learning difficulties. ilike riding. you love riding? yeah. zac comes either every week or every other week, and it's one of the highlights of his week. and he talks about it, are we going riding, are we going riding? yeah, could you come at 9am? it will feel better, because we know that we can stay here forever. one of those people lucky enough

covid has swept through the rural community, so how is the school coping? danny savage has been back to find out. just under three weeks ago, you could feel the relief, humour and happiness as huttoft primary school reopened after lockdown. this is it. it's not going to happen again. we're back and hopefully it will be forever. now, things are very different. there are no pupils and no teachers. not even key workers' children. the school is closed. covid has gone through this community, collapsing every bubble. yeah, it's pretty devastating. it's something that we never expected. even the head teacher is self—isolating at home. we talked on a video call. up until this point, we'd had two cases in school. we'd actually lost four days. that was all, four days since september. and it's come back with a vengeance. and it's not something that we anticipated. i don't think we were complacent, we'd got everything in place. we weren't naive about the threat. but actually this has hit quite hard. at the start of this month, we saw bobby being dropped off. it was like starting school all over again for this 4—year—old. he's now back at home learning. his mum still has to work and is thoroughly fed up. gutted, really gutted, yeah. i think it'sjust, that's the new normal now for him now. is that the worry, the long term thing? that this willjust keep repeating? yeah, yeah. this is something we're going to be living with now for the next year. just getting used to all the bubbles closing and reopening and closing, so. something to prepare for in the future now. lots of schools have had cases of covid since they reopened, but few have had to close completely like this one. but it just shows that schools have a bumpy year ahead, because they are full of people who are not vaccinated. the hope is that the easter holidays will be a fire break and give everyone a chance to isolate and recover. then the children and staff will be back. danny savage, bbc news, huttoft in lincolnshire. if you have any questions about the slight relaxation that is taking place in parts of england today, we have got i suppose we could call it a covid panel at 8:20am. two of our regular experts will be here and they will be available to take questions as well. you can send them through, e—mail us or social media. we are also keen to hear about what changes you might be making, you

and we will be talking about the programme finding jack charlton which is on tonight, cameras following him and his family for 18 months up to his death last year, and it is a fascinating insight into dementia, what he was living with, with some of the people who knew him best. we will talk to andy townsend about that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. bbc london has been given access to dentists, hospital admin staff and even surgeons, who've been volunteering to use zoom and facetime to bring families and patients in intensive care together. with visits not being allowed, university college hospital has been using volunteers to visit icu patients in a critical condition, to allow families to see and speak to their loved ones. we let them spend the last few hours with their relative while they are dying, and we are there to support them. so we are there to hold their hand, make them a cup of tea, ask questions, and we just try and make it vaguely more bearable than it is. well, the intensive care society has called for support to be given to those volunteers and others on the front—line of the pandemic. as far as the impact more broadly is concerned, a yougov survey has found that more than three quarters of londoners of different ages believe the coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted upon their mental health. it's why bbc london is focussing on mental health for both front—line workers and the wider public on our programmes today at 1.30. 6.30 and 10.30 tonight on bbc one, as well as on our social media platforms. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the roads, on kew bridge a lane is closed for road engineering works into town towards chiswick. good morning. it's a mild start this morning and the temperature over the next few days is set to get warmer. we've got a ridge of high pressure building in. now have have got quite a bit of cloud this morning. some breaks, but eventually the sunshine will melt that away, leading to a dry, sunny and warm afternoon. quite a keen south—westerly wind, but temperatures still getting up to 20, maybe even 21 celsius by the end of the day. overnight tonight, it's dry and it's clear. the temperature's going to drop quite far, down to low single figures, between two and six celsius the minimum. the chance of some shallow mist and fog patches developing. first thing tomorrow those shallow mist and fog patches will lift, another day of sunshine. you can see this yellow area — that's the warm air. that's going to stay with us on tuesday and wednesday. it's not until thursday you'll notice that blue colder air starts to sink a little bit further south. that is when the temperature will drop again. so for the next couple of days temperatures getting up to 22, maybe even 23 celsius, then getting much colder that's it. vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london with her breakfast show. and go to our website to see what the views

first half, his first international goalfor over a year. mason mount made it 2—0. manager gareth southgate all to aware his selections are being dissected, but is just focussing on getting as much out of his players as he can. we have to keep pushing this group of players. a lot of talk about us, a lot of talk about what potentially we might be. but if we want to deliver then we've got to have really high standards. and i think we can get better. i'm pleased with the win. they should enjoy the win. you've always got to enjoy the wince. but i think we can improve. —— wins. scotland are still waiting for their first qualifying win. after a draw in the week against austria, they drew again, this time against israel. the scots were trailing at half—time, but ryan fraser equalised just before the hour mark. 1—1 the final score in tel aviv. they will want to start picking up some wins. after defeat to italy in their opening world cup qualifier, northern ireland were beaten again — this time by the usa in a friendly in belfast. the americans went ahead through giovanni reyna and christian pulisic, before a great strike from niall mcginn got northern ireland back in the game. but it finished 2—1. they face bulgaria in their second qualifier on wednesday. chelsea went back to the top of the women's super league table, thanks to a 2—0 win at home to aston villa — sam kerr with both their goals. that takes them two points clear of manchester city, with just four games to go. we could be in for a thrilling title race in formula one if the first grand prix is anything to go by. lewis hamilton pushed all the way for his win in bahrain. max verstappen, who had started on pole, moved ahead of hamilton with just four laps remaining. but because he'd run off the track, he was ordered to hand back the lead and didn't get another chance to overtake, hamilton hanging on for victory. sam curran did eveything in his power to get england over the line in their one—day series decider with india in pune. chasing 330 for victory, england were falling well short, but a brilliant 95 from the 22—year—old curran took the match down to the final over, only to fall seven runs short. england are still at the top of the world rankings in odis, but they have lost their last two series, to australia and now india. we've been a brilliant side for a long period of time now. we've lost those two series. that is two losses in our last 11. we are still a very good side. we are expanding the talent pool. there have been a few quys talent pool. there have been a few guys missing from that side and guys coming in to have opportunities, which is fantastic. after a great run, british number two cameron norrie has been knocked out in the third round of the miami open. he's beaten two top 20 opponents this season, including grigor dimitrov in the previous round in miami. and after going a set down to the american taylor fritz, he forced a decider. but norrie's resistance failed and he lost it 6—1. and there was british success as adam yates won the tour of catalonia. he finished in the main group behind belgium's thomas de gent on the final stage, to take the victory. it was a podium sweep for the ineos grenadiers, with richie porte and geraint thomas making up the top three. neil robertson catching the eye once again as he has been for the past few

government will repeatedly emphasise meet—ups must be outside and socially distanced. because the risk of transmission inside, where ventilation is poorer, is much, much greater. chris mason, bbc news. let's get more now from our political correspondent, iain watson, who joins us from westminster. good morning to you. the easing of those restrictions in england, it clearly comes with a warning. you get the feeling that the government are concerned about what will happen all could happen in the weeks ahead. that's right, the government very keen to stick to the road map in england, the lifting of restrictions between now and june. they suggest that if we don't follow the rules, of course, that could be potentially put at risk. as of today, the stay—at—home law has been lifted, the guidance is to stay local but there isn't a limit on the number of miles you can travel. there are no overnight stay is allowed at the moment but people can travel to visit relatives at the moment for the first time this year. the government minister nigel hudson this morning earlier said the word you should keep in mind at all times be sensible. it’s you should keep in mind at all times be sensible-— be sensible. it's very important that people _ be sensible. it's very important that people think— be sensible. it's very important that people think about - be sensible. it's very

irreversible and they said even though it feels awkward, you should try not to give your relatives a hug. and do not rush indoors if hug. and do not rush indoors the weather turns. the virus spreads more if you are indoors. they did say that the restrictions easing will mean that we will see a rise in cases but the government hopes that the rise in vaccinations means that hospitalisation will be kept down and the nhs will not be overwhelmed. thank you very much, speak to you later. the trial of former policeman derek chauvin, who's accused of murdering george floyd, begins in the us today. mr floyd's death was caught on camera and sparked protests for racialjustice across the world. mr chauvin is charged with two counts of murder and one of manslaughter. he denies the charges. earlier our correspondent lebo diseko told us what to expect in court today. at 9am local time, we are expecting those opening arguments to begin, and that's when the lawyers from both sides will essentially set out their case. and for both of them, much of that, we expect, will centre around what the cause of george floyd's death was. the prosecution would like to show that it is derek chauvin's actions, so they will show lots of video from the scene, much we have not seen before, and we expect lots of it to be quite graphic, body cam and bystanders' footage. the defence will be trying to show that other factors were at play, ill—health on the part of george floyd and possibly issues such as drug use. they will also want to show that derek chauvin was just following procedure and standard training for police here in this state. there is a huge amount of interest here, this is the first criminal trial that will be live broadcast in this state because the judge recognises the public interest and because of covid restrictions, people are unable to go to the court or view it in the way they might normally do. the huge container ship that's been blocking the suez canal for nearly a week has been partly freed. pictures from social media appear to show a fleet of tug boats dislodging the bow of the ever given just a few hours ago. it's not yet clear if shipping can resume along one of the world's most important waterways. earlier we spoke to our correspondent sally nabil in suez. it's a huge breakthrough. we understand the ship has been partially refloated, and it is just the bow that has been stuck now. efforts are under way to try and dislodge it. the rescue efforts were aided by high tides. ten tug boats took part in the operation and before that dredgers managed to remove 30,000 cubic metres of sand enabling the ship to move. once it is refloated, it needs to be inspected, it cannot operate on the spot, it has to be checked to see if there is any damage that has been caused to the body. the question is how authorities are going to address the huge backlog of ships resulting from the blockage. more than 400 ships are waiting in the suez canal, stranded here, waiting to resume theirjourneys. according to sources we have been talking to, navigation in the canal is expected to be resumed within hours, and i believe that will be a relief for the global market because this current deadlock, or the deadlock over the past days, has affected oil prices, it has affected global trade, pretty clearly the canal is one of the busiest trade routes around the world. more than 10% of global trade passes through this strategic waterway. so i think we are expecting more good news in a few hours to come, and that will be a relief for everyone. sally speaking to us earlier, talking about the hundreds of ships backed up behind that ship in the suez canal. that is the very latest this morning. suez canal. that is the very latest this morning-— this morning. let's

then cold again through the easter weekend. this morning a lot of cloud around wherever you are. the other common denominator is the wind, windy day. but it is warming up, we have had the north—west seems an rain overnight, it is currently reigning in parts of north—west england and scotland but increasingly it will be confined to north and west scotland. the cloud will break up particularly across england and wales, we will see some breaks in southern scotland and northern ireland through the afternoon as well. temperatures are high for the time of year, 17 or 18 in aberdeen, 19 in hull, 19 or even 21 in the south—east. it could be the warmest day of the year so far. as we head through the evening and overnight, underthe as we head through the evening and overnight, under the clear skies in the south we will see some pockets of mist and fog forming. also the odd pocket of frost in the far south—east. for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, more cloud and persistent rain across the north and east. look at the temperatures in eastern scotland, ten and 11, the same in northern ireland. tomorrow we start with this rain, still very much the risk of flooding, cloud in the north. some will break in eastern and southern scotland, eastern and northern northern ireland. england and wales from the get go we are looking at a lot of sunshine, the mist and fog will lift quickly and the temperatures will as well, 22 to 23 degrees, pretty warm this stage in march. that is tropical! shorts on, but the warnint that is tropical! shorts on, but the warning came. _ that is

out of lockdown. sporting clubs and venues are welcoming visitors for the first time in nearly four months this morning. one of those is hilligdon lido, and tim's there for us. we still don't know how to pronounce it! tim is there this morning. it is certainly not leedo, i have been told! this is an impressive sight, people enjoying the water this morning, chilly but the mood is uplifting. as many restrictions eased today, this is allowed, along with other outdoor sports such as tennis and golf. groups of six people are allowed to meet, two households can meet and that can be more than six people. certainly things moving in the right direction today. alex is from swim england, this is a fantastic site, isn't it? absolutely, we are delighted to see outdoor swimming pool is open today.

as we've been hearing, england has taken its latest steps out of lockdown this morning. but the changes don't just apply to sport and activities. today also marks the end of the stay at home rule. six people, or two households, can meet outdoors, including in private gardens. in scotland, the stay at home rule will change to stay local from 2nd april, that's this friday. in northern ireland, six people from two households will be able to meet in a private garden from thursday. in wales, the stay local rule was scrapped on saturday. but what impact could these changes have on the spread of the virus? let's speak now to the virologist, dr chris smith and professor of public health, linda bauld. good morning to both, great to see you. good morning to both, great to see ou. ., good morning to both, great to see ou. l, if! good morning to both, great to see you-_ if! can -

it is 843. most of you will recognise vanessa kirby from her bafta award—winning role of princess margaret in the crown. her latest film, pieces of a woman, has earned her oscar and bafta nominations for her portrayal of a woman who loses her child during a home birth. louise has been to catch up with her. vanessa kirby, what a wonderful thing to meet you on this strange atmosphere we are all in. where are you and are you wearing pyjamas? i am 100% wearing pyjamas. i'v e i've been in these for the last year. i can't remember what it's like to wear any other item of clothing! i'm genuinely a bit worried about doing so. you are nominated for a bafta and an oscar. you are going to have to wear more than pyjamas. are you going to wear more than pyjamas? obviously it is completely different, isn't it? it is all virtual for the most part. the oscars aren't going to be, which i think is a miracle. i think we've all missed being in person, whether it is birthdays, christmas. the fact that that is going to go ahead, it might be actual people in a room, is like, it has blown my mind a little bit. is this about money? no. is it about what people think? it is about you. it is about you having to face this. i am facing this. i am facing it! i am facing this! well, i don't think you are. we need somejustice here. no, you need. that is what you need, that is what you want. that is your way, it is not my way. that is what you need! pieces of a woman is a visceral film, isn't it? right from the beginning, from reading the script, it mattered so much to me, i think mostly because it is about a subject that is so rarely spoken about. in beginning to research it i realised how ignorant i was about how many women and family are affected by baby loss and how important i believe the conversation should be. there should be real support. and yeah, conversation around it. and i hope the film contributes in a tiny way to that. you also talked to somebody who had suffered in a similar way, didn't you? idid. her name is kelly. i spent a really long time with her. i spent many days and hours with women who experienced all sorts of different stages of baby loss. miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal... or last children generally. i was so changed by speaking to them. they were so brave to talk to me because for the most part i think almost all of them said they had never really been able to tell anyone about it, or no one had asked because it's something people find incredibly difficult to talk about. i have become since so passionate about the subject of miscarriage. one infour one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage. that is a huge number of miscarriages. i am a mum of four daughters. so many people watching this would have been up close and personal with what you filmed. there is the birth scene. you filmed it six different times. it was one shot. what was it like to phone something so traumatic? really it was like filming a play, in a way. i felt really lucky that i had come from theatre. i started off in theatre. so for many years that is all i did and sort knew. and of course in a play you come out of the wings can step out on stage and you can't run off. you have to keep going. i was so grateful the plan for the birth was to do a 25, 30 minute uncut take of it completely. we have seen death so many times on screen, but we rarely see birth because we have had less female writers and less female voices. this is awful. ijust want to have a quick listen to a heartbeat. - 0k? i would like to see . how she is tolerating. could you maybe just lie down here forjust a second? - can you hold my hand? anybody who has either had a child or been up close to someone that has had one, what you get there is the detail. i know people have talked to you about this. the woman i watched felt nauseous and felt sick for 12 hours. she hadn't been able to eat. she just felt really ill. i knew i had to sort of embody it if i wanted to do it for real. so ijust imagined i felt really sick. and embarrassingly, i ended up burping quite a lot. but women have come up to me after the film and said, thank you for burping. it took me a long time to understand what they were thanking me for. i feel now, i sort of thing, i think it might be because it's not... as women, we shouldn't have to be polite or edit it. birthing is such a human experience. and something i saw as being so unbelievably amazing and powerful, and sacred somehow. i didn't want to adjust that. and for me it was the details that were telling, that we would not have seen before. it is things like, for example, incredibly embarrassing, it will have happened to millions of women, breast leaking, for example. it is the details we don't see? totally. it is interesting to think about is that uncomfortable for society when that is something that affects half of the population of the world? and why is that uncomfortable? and i think the more we can represent those things, the more normalised they become. you are saying? your life is in danger. who would want to kill me? the americans for starters. if that were true i would know it. how was mission impossible? it was a mega thing to do. you are filming during covid. was that good? yes, we are still going. it has been a really long time. it is taking longer because of covid. but my god, when we got to set for the first time and we looked at the crew, it felt incredibly special. i don't take a second for granted. so joyful to be at work. i've missed it. i missed it so much. did you watch the crown while you were off? idid. i watched it with my parents. i blasted through eight episodes and then the lockdown came. we have been waiting to watch the final two. except that my parents told me the other day that they have sneakily seen it! i said, you could have waited? they cheated. what is it like passing that on and watching helena bonham carter play the role? you know what? it is the best. we always knew we were only ever going to do two seasons and we were passing the baton on. i said to helena, you get to do all the plate smashing stuff. i would love to have done that. what is the thing you're most looking forward to when we can finally get out? oh, my god. being in a pub with my best friends. i've missed it so much. it so good for the soul, isn't it? and being with people you love in groups. that is what life is about, really, ithink. vanessa, thank you so much. very good luck with the oscars. i am looking forward to seeing the pyjamas on the oscar speech. thank you so much, louise! if you look closely, they might be under the dress. poking out of the bottom. such a pleasure to speak to you. thank you. there you go, that is the information you need. pieces of a woman is the film. that was vanessa kirby talking to louise. romesh ranganathan is an award—winning comedian and tv presenter, but his latest book suggests that his life is not as straight—forward as it might appear to be. it explores the pressures of adulthood, and fears of not living up to expectations. romesh is here to tell us more. good morning. lovely to have you on the programme. good morning. lovely to have you on the programme-— good morning. lovely to have you on the programme. good morning. thank ou ve the programme. good morning. thank you very much — the programme. good morning. thank you very much for _ the programme. good morning. thank you very much for having _ the programme. good morning. thank you very much for having me. -
