finding out how our destinations are planning to reopen injust two weeks. a big win for wales in world cup qualifying. danjames with the crucial goal in cardiff as they beat the czech republic to get their campaign back on track. we'll meet 89—year—old john wilcock, roller—skating around his courtyard, raising money for charity. walking is a bit boring. jogging is a bit boring. along comes sir tom with his trolley, and i thought, yes, with my wife's roller, i'll be able to skate. good morning from the roof of the bbc in london. yesterday was the warmest march date since 1968. the temperature reached 24.5 celsius in kew gardens. today we could see similar, depending on the cloud amounts. one or two showers and heavy and persistent rain pushing scout across scotland, getting into northern ireland and weakening as it does so. all that it has in ten minutes. it's wednesday the 31st of march. our top story. the health secretary has warned people who are enjoying the easing of lockdown restrictions not to "blow it" ahead of another day of hot temperatures. matt hancock issued his warning yesterday evening, saying people should enjoy the sun, but they should do it safely, after the country's hottest march day in 53 years. andy moore reports. it was enough to make you dance with joy. a wonderful spring day with some of the highest temperatures in more than half a century. and with lockdown easing, the freedom to go out and enjoy it. beaches were busy in many locations. this was rhyl in north wales. there's more good weather forecast in many parts of the uk today. but the health secretary is warning us not to abuse our new—found freedoms. in a tweet, matt hancock said... and the scientists are echoing that cautious message. just because you're out in the fresh air, that doesn't mean you can't catch covid. if you are meeting other people in an outdoor environment, you do need to keep that two metre distance at all times. if you don't, of course, then the fact that we outdoors is somewhat negated by the fact that you are in close proximity to one another and there is the risk then, if you happen to be infected or you are close to someone who is infected, then there is a greater risk of the virus being transmitted. not surprisingly, public parks have been crowded. this was platt fields park in manchester, where police estimated around 3000 people had gathered. it was quieter yesterday at nottingham's arboretum after police declared powers to clear away anyone being disruptive. visitors were being searched for alcohol on entry. on monday, on the first day of lockdown easing, there were large unruly crowds in the park with no signs of social distancing. this was the message from the council leader to anyone breaking the guidelines. please stop. covid is not something to be messed around with, to be trifled with. this is a dangerous disease that has caused people to die in our city. we are not yet at a situation where all of our restrictions have been rolled back, just a gradual easing of those restrictions. please don't abuse that. london's parks have also been busy with sun seekers. with a temperature of 24 and a half degrees celsius at kew gardens, it was the hottest march day in 53 years. temperatures in the capital could reach similar or even higher levels today. soon, many of the 4 million people who have been shielding in england and wales will be able to get out and about and enjoy the good weather. this is their last day under special restrictions. it's tempting to think the worst months are now behind us. but the message from the authorities is, stay safe and stay cautious. andy moore, bbc news. germany has suspended the use of the astrazeneca vaccine for people under the age of 60, because of concerns about blood clots. the german medicines regulatorfound 31 cases of a type of rare blood clot out of 2.7 million people who had received the jab. it comes after canada limited use of the vaccine to the over—555. mark lobel reports. 31 cases of a rare form of blood clot to the brain appearing between four to 16 days after an astrazeneca jab now linked to nine deaths caused german chancellor angela merkel to raise the alarm. translation: trust rises - from the knowledge that every suspicion, every individual case will be investigated. the federal and state governments stand behind this. the german leader concedes this sudden change will delay germany's vaccination programme in the nearfuture. so far, only 11% of the population has received their firstjab. now the over 60s may see more of the astrazeneca supply coming their way. it has been quite a roller—coaster with this jab. originally, astrazeneca hadn't delivered what they'd promised to germany. germany's vaccine committee then only advised it for people under 65. then there was a brief pause while blood clots were investigated. now this. the agency is recommending an immediate pause in the use of the astrazeneca vaccine. canada has also suspended use of the vaccine for people under 55. though even those behind that recommendation fear it risks undermining confidence at a critical time. the last thing we want to do is contribute any sort of hesitancy around the vaccine. that's what keeps me up at night. but at the same time, if i can't confidently tell someone that i know that the benefits outweigh the risks because of their age, because of their risk of covid, i can't give them that medication. but astrazeneca insists the benefits far outweigh any of the risks. the who and uk regulator both say it's fine. mark lobel, bbc news. britain has become one of the most successful multi—cultural societies in europe, according to a new report set up by the government in response to last summer's black lives matter protests. it looked at racial inequalities in education, employment, health, and criminaljustice. it says the evidence does not support concerns that the uk is institutionally racist. but campaigners say there are still stark racial differences in many british institutions. the archbishop of canterbury has addressed, for the first time, the claim made by the duchess of sussex that she and prince harry got married three days before the royal wedding. during her interview with oprah winfrey, broadcast earlier this month, meghan said she and the duke of sussex had a secret marriage ceremony with justin welby in their "backyard". but in an interview with an italian newspaper the archbishop said the legal wedding was on the saturday. a woman whose mobile phone footage of george floyd being pinned down by police officers went viral has given evidence at his murder trial. darnella frazier told the court in minneapolis that mr floyd was suffering and seemed terrified. another witness said he'd called the emergency services to report a murder. the policeman, derek chauvin, denies murder and manslaughter. a scheme to fit electronic tags on offenders to see if they are breaching court—ordered drinking bans is being rolled out across england. the sobriety tags alert probation services if alcohol is detected. the scheme has been in operation across wales since october. carol is out and about today. she looks fab, _ carol is out and about today. she looks fab. as _ carol is out and about today. sue: looks fab, as always. carol is out and about today. she looks fab, as always. she -

could be the death of you. so don't die of ignorance. the campaign was a success. the uk went on to have comparatively low hiv infection rates. but there was a cost. one of our friends, who is an actor, we heard had died alone in his flat. he was so ashamed of being hiv positive, and he didn't tell anyone and he was found dead. i rememberjohn turning round to me saying, "i wish i hadn't done that damn ad." thejohn he speaks of isjohn hurt, the actor who voiced the campaign. as a nurse in an aids hospice, judy held the hands of dying men who would not reveal their real names. there were people who did everything that they could to actually hide from the fact they were dying of aids. peter, in '87. there was graham, there wasjohn, who i dated. there was nigel. nigel finch, i dated him after rupert died. i think even now, speaking about it, it is really very difficult. because even in death, there was still another loss of dignity. i remember men and women who died of aids being brought in in those yellow toxic—waste bags. because they were considered contaminant, rather than being considered as a person. given the chance again, would you do it all exactly the same? i think we would, actually. we were in an emergency and you had to tackle that emergency as it came. today, all three believe there is still work to be done to tackle the stigma of that time and they are supporting a campaign by ash to create a uk aids memorial, one that could finally lift the burden of shame from those who died. how did families cope after somebody�*s death and that they now became persona non grata? there were so many other voices that weren't heard, which is why this memorial is so valid. i would be delighted to help in any way i can. those lives deserve, i think, to be remembered. modern medicine today means hiv isn't the killer it once was, but stigma is. that is why i set up the campaign. the campaign is to remember those who we lost, but to carry on fighting stigma. because stigma stops people accessing medication. i hope above all it points to the future and says this must never ever happen again. and that we must now use all our efforts to fight the prejudice and discrimination which still surrounds this area. and if a memorial can help to do that, then i think it would have achieved a vast amount. former health secretary lord fowler there, speaking to breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin. we will be discussing that a little bit more at 8:30am. i we will be discussing that a little bit more at 8:30am.— we will be discussing that a little bit more at 8:30am. i remember that advertisin: bit more at 8:30am. i remember that advertising campaign _ bit more at 8:30am. i remember that advertising campaign the _ bit more at 8:30am. i remember that advertising campaign the first - bit more at 8:30am. i remember that advertising campaign the first time i advertising campaign the first time round, the impact that it had, i would have only been six or seven. it really meant that everybody was talking about this new illness. and that vt just shows how far we have come but so far we still have to come but so far we still have to come because people still live with hiv and there is stigma around it. those images and that music really stays with you. let's take a look at today's papers. "keep your cool" is the headline in the mirror. it says people have been warned not to break coronavirus rules during the warm weather along with a picture of a packed beach in southend yesterday. the metro leads on the independent report that found police behaved "sensitively" while breaking up a vigil honouring sarah everard, whose death prompted a public debate over women's safety. france and germany are in negotiations with vladimir putin about supplying the russian sputnik vaccine to the eu, according to the daily telegraph, which reports that the three leaders had a video call yesterday. "a really good friday" reads the top story in the daily record. it's after nicola sturgeon confirmed that lockdown will start to ease in scotland by the end of the week with hairdressers due to open

new guidance is a sign that case rates and hospital admissions are heading in the right direction, but the advice differs around the uk. shielding comes to an end at midnight tonight for 3.8 million people in england and nearly 130,000 people in wales. in scotland, shielding advice will remain in place until the 26th of april. people in northern ireland do not yet have a date for when the guidance will change, but the executive has said "a graduated easing of the advice for clinically extremely vulnerable people is planned, to commence on the 12th of april". for some, the chance to see family and friends for the first time in months will come as a welcome relief, but others are feeling anxious about the change. breakfast�*s graham satchell has been speaking to two people who have been shielding since the start of the pandemic. here we are, just walking into the flat now. as you can see, not the biggest place in the world. for much of the last year, rob has been shielding on his small one—bedroom flat. the isolation, loneliness, has taken its toll. i've lost so much of my... i don't know, my confidence. just my personality. i've just gone into myself, you could say. i've always been a very sociable person. one that likes to help people, likes to make people laugh, make people smile. and when you are feeling so low inside, its hard to get back to that person. rob has muscular dystrophy. he is trying to keep his fitness up on the treadmill, but his condition has deteriorated. it's had a massive impact. i cannot stress enough how much physically it is affecting me. of course, when it affects you physically, mentally, you are affected as well. so, all in all, i'm not the same person i was before all this started just over a year ago. i've just received a letter i've been waiting for for a whole year. that letter says shielding is over, after a year of not being able to go out and enjoy myself. out there in the sunshine, walking my dog. things that we take for granted. well, now, i have a piece of paper that gives me a passport to freedom, and here it is. for me, it is a mixture of happy, excited to be able to get out there, but also a lot of trepidation, anxiety, because i am not convinced that it is 100% safe to be out there yet. but i can't stay in here for ever. anyone that knows me will tell you i don't let things beat me. i try to keep as positive as possible and try to get on with it. in essex, catherine is out for a walk with her daughter. she is on her way to see her parents, something she hasn't done for months. the isolation of not actually being able to see and do the things that you would just normally do has been really difficult, particularly not being able to see my parents. i see them all the time, normally. we are very close. they look after me a lot. so that has been really, really tough. dog barks. 0h! hello, darling. oh, you made mejump then. would you like a nice drink? yes, please. yeah? — what would you like? meeting family like this a huge relief for catherine. shielding has had a real impact on her overall health. catherine has a rare neurological disorder. her treatment has been interrupted in lockdown. i have to have 31 injections in my head every 12 weeks, which has also been put off a couple of times due to the pandemic. i already suffer from chronic fatigue, so just all of those things combined, the thought of what it might do to me, made me very anxious. i did go to a very dark place during the first lockdown. almost 4 million people in england and wales have been told they can stop shielding from tomorrow. scotland and northern ireland are expected to follow suit in a few weeks. catherine can't wait. me and my daughter, we are planning to go shopping when the shops are open, see friends, spend more time with my family. just being able to get out again and see people and just such simple things that we took for granted. i can't waitjust to go and get an ice cream down the beach. simple things like that. we have lost so much. we have lost loved ones. missed opportunities. so many things we have lost from this that we have got to try and hold onto that positive outlook that we will all get through this. the transition back to some sort of normality will be hard for the most clinically vulnerable. for some, there will be considerable anxiety. take care. bye— bye, take care. but the fact that shielding restrictions are being lifted is the clearest sign yet that things are moving in the right direction. graham satchell, bbc news. just a huge day, isn't it, for those millions of people. and you can't imagine all of that time. i have had a couple of periods where i have had to isolate because the app has gone off and a few days of it, it really

last seen on the 22nd of march when he left his home in the ladbroke grove area. his mother says the student, who has sickle cell disease, did not take his medication or any money when he left left and is worried about his safety. a man hailed as a national hero for his intervention during the westminster bridge terror attack is battling covid in turkey. former solider tony davis was one of the first people to try and save pc keith palmer who was fatally stabbed in the attack in 2017. he was working as a boxing coach in istanbul when he fell ill. he sent this photo from his hospital bed and thanked friends for sending food, clothes and supplies. a mural made up of 150,000 hand—drawn hearts is being painted on a wall near st thomas' hospital, right opposite parliament, to remember the victims of the pandemic. the hearts are being individually painted by people who have lost a loved one and when it's finished the mural�*s expected to stretch more than half a mile. campaigners in west london say a disused sports field should be made into a local nature reserve. warren farm near hanwell has been taken over by wildlife — it comes as the campaign for protection of rural england says the capital should have 10 more new parks. creating ten new parks for london will have enormous benefits all of us who live here. on our physical, mental and emotional well—being, as well as giving haven to our beleaguered wildlife. let's take a look at the travel situation now... on the tube — minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. on the roads — in northolt, roadworks are continuing at the target roundabout causing delays. in poplar — west india dock road is partially blocked with westferry road because of a collision. in childs hill, there is one lane blocked on the a41 hendon way southbound at cricklewood lane for emergency repairs. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning. another fabulous day of weather. unseasonably warm once more across london and the south east. it is a last very, very warm day, though. at times today, the sunshine perhaps not quite as completely clear as yesterday. there might be high cloud around, just turning the sunshine hazy here and there, and some saharan dust mixed in, as well. but temperatures once more low to mid—20s celsius. if you see 24, it's 75 in fahrenheit and well above average. we could have a fabulous sunset because of that saharan dust ijust mentioned. overnight into tomorrow, we are starting, if you are further north, to see signs of a change, because, eventually, our winds will change direction and we will start to pull in colder air. for tomorrow, another lovely start. there will be some good spells of sunshine. temperatures have started to come down a little bit, though, and we will see that slide away with the colder air moving in from the north. through the bank holiday weekend, a dramatic drop in temperatures. it could be very cold on easter monday. plenty more on our website at the usual address. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and nina warhurst. coming up on breakfast this morning. we'll meet the 89—year—old pensioner who's been inspired to get his skates on by captain sir tom moore to raise money for charity by roller—skating around his neighbourhood. glastonbury festival may be cancelled this year, but might there be some other concerts on the site this summer? we're expecting an announcement later this morning. and as this year marks a decade since the death of amy winehouse, the bbc is producing a documentary about her life. we'll talk to one of the singer's childhood friends later on the show. as we've been hearing, from tomorrow, there's no more shielding guidance for almost four million people in england and wales. let's discuss the changes with one of our regular gps, dr rachel ward. good morning. lovely to speak to you. we have spoken in the past about those shielding in england and wales. what is your advice? i am aware many in that category who are shielding or have a member of the family shielding, what is your advice? ,., ., family shielding, what is your advice? ., , , family shielding, what is your advice? ., , advice? good morning. this is a huge da for advice? good morning. this is a huge day for people- _ advice? good morning. this is a huge day for people. the _ advice? good morning. this is a huge day for people. the clips _ advice? good morning. this is a huge day for people. the clips you - advice? good morning. this is a huge day for people. the clips you showed | day for people. the clips you showed a few minutes ago were incredible. to capture what people have been through the past year. people who have had social isolation, it has affected their physical underlying problems. it has been a tough year. though this is a positive time, that people feel they can do things, people feel they can do things, people have anxiety about it. people are saying why is it today i am still inside yet tomorrow, suddenly, i can go out and see people? my advice is to take it slowly and not push yourself past what you feel comfortable with. it is great to be able to see people. obviously outdoors. using precautions. do not overwhelm yourself initially. take it slowly and see people close to you initially. get out, enjoy fresh air, take it one step at a time. from those you have spoken to, do you sense there is a feeling it is a right shielding guidance ends now? it is difficult because this is on the list of things we have to balance, the pros and cons. in some parts of the country, we are seeing increases in the rate of covid but we have to look at the positive aspects that the vaccination programme continues to be rolling out really well. there was a great data yesterday looking at the proportion in the uk who have antibodies to covid. we have more in our defence all the time. we are so good at adapting, we behave in such a cautious way compared to a year ago. we are generally better at things. we have to balance the positivity. obviously an ongoing risk for people who are shielding, but allowing them to continue their lives. some will feel they do not want to start seeing people and that is understandable. but we have to have some confidence that people can start getting their lives back. part of that, getting — start getting their lives back. part of that, getting their lives back is the vaccination programme. it is thought it will slow in the coming weeks because of supply issues. i5 weeks because of supply issues. is that something you are seeing? this week in particular we are doing a lot of second doses. we feel we are going back to the start and bringing people in for second doses. we do not have a huge amount of supply to continue first doses. we have to put it in context. there have been ups and downs with supply throughout. we have done a huge proportion of groups 1—9, over50s, health and social care workers and people with underlying health conditions. we have done well with the first doses of the people we have done and we are reassured there is not going to be a problem with access to doses to continue second doses. that is what we are wanting to focus on at the moment. i think there is a slow up but we have to put it into context of where we are out. fine but we have to put it into context of where we are out.— but we have to put it into context of where we are out. one other issue that will be — of where we are out. one other issue that will be discussed _ of where we are out. one other issue that will be discussed on _ of where we are out. one other issue that will be discussed on the - that will be discussed on the programme today, pictures in the papers of people out enjoying record temperatures yesterday. looking at that, what are your thoughts about adhering to social distancing and trying to be as safe as possible? it is not dissimilar to last year when the beaches were full and we were thinking, this is not good. we know being outside does hugely reduce the risk of transmission of covid. however, we have to remember, although we are all incredibly pleased to be outside, seeing people, we have to continue to follow the rules of social distancing, hands, face and fresh air as the logo goes. it does not completely remove that risk. the more you have in one place the more difficult it is to maintain social distancing. if you are close to someone outside you can transmit covid but it is lower risk. although we are enjoying this release of rules, we want to continue to do that. we do not want to find ourselves back at square one. it is worth investing energy in being sensible, being a little bit incautious, whilst we enjoy it. we incautious, whilst we en'oy it. we will seak incautious, whilst we enjoy it. we will speak again soon. thanks. talking about people gathering, you know the hubbub when there is a big crowd of people, near a park. you could hear it in the evening, a group of people chatting. unusual. it is the fact more canned meat outdoors and then the big improvement in the weather and as rachel said, it is balancing the freedom with the risk because there still is a risk of transmitting outdoors. john has the sport. good morning. the smile say it all in a tough convocation group for wales. they got a win last night. wales were desperate for a win after an opening defeat to belgium who are favourites to qualify automatically. it's likely to be between wales and czech republic for the runners up spot which makes last night's win so important. here's andy swiss. there might have been no fans, but you'd hardly have guessed it. if it sounded like a big night for wales, well, it was. after losing their opening world cup qualifier, victory was vital. but against the czech republic, not so easy. gareth bale should've scored, and didn't he know it. but it was still goalless at the break. after, it was a tale of two red cards. on the right of the screen, a shove to the face of wales's connor roberts. and patrick schick was off before roberts followed him after this challenge. it was ten against ten and seemingly stalemate. but in the nick of time, gareth bale crossed and wales found a winner. commentator: and dan james is there to meet it! _ relief at last, courtesy of danjames's superb header. but still the czech republic weren't done and only a last—ditch tackle from joe rodin kept them out. not their prettiest performance, but for wales, the 1—0 win was all that mattered. andy swiss, bbc news. there were more protests last night in wales' group — this time the belgium side wearing "football supports change" t—shirts in support of migrant workers in qatar. they beat belarus 8—nil. any kind of win would do for the republic of ireland who lost to the next world cup hosts in a friendly in hungary. things looked good whenjames mclean put them ahead. but they let in an equaliser. and after defeats in both world cup qualifiers, manager stephen kenny is still without a win after 11 games in charge. later, scotland go in search of their first win in qualifying, they're up against the faroe islands. northern ireland take on bulgaria, while england face tricky opponents poland at wembley, whose star striker robert lewandowski is out injured, not that they're a one—man team. i've played polish teams before. they fight for the cause. they are a proud country. they are a good football team. they have got a new coach. so they have high motivation. we all know this is a key game in the qualification group. we have got to keep improving. we have shown a good level in our first two matches this week. we have got to keep stepping up and i believe the players can do that. helen glover's return to rowing is picking up pace. she's been named in the british squad for the european championships in italy next week. glover retired after winning her second olympic gold in rio, but she's back, with an eye on tokyo. she'll compete in the women's pair and said she hoped to return from some success stories to share with her three young children. another woman is making waves at the moment. rebecca welch will make history on monday when she takes charge of harrogate against port vale in league two. we will talk more about that later. a trailblazer in women's sport. she has been so dedicated to her sport and keen to progress and that is where it has taken her. thanks. in less than a fortnight, outdoor visitor attractions like zoos and theme parks

chance to vote in local elections. over the next few weeks, we'll be speaking to all of the major parties about their policies and pledges. we're joined now by the co—leader of the green party —

should have access to green spaces and inequalities have been exposed in the pandemic that need to be tackled. we say it is a crucial moment. let's have a fresh start when we notjust recover but we thrive. we can do that with action from the bottom up in local communities through hundreds of green councils, making those differences happen. if the government is not showing leadership, someone needs to. is that not the message all major parties are saying that green has to be front of the agenda? the conservatives have a plan, investing in humber northern england with green infrastructure. they have encroached on your territory? the rhetorical encroached on your territory? tue: rhetorical battle encroached on your territory? t“te: rhetorical battle is not being followed through. in the

we do not have to move huge populations from one section of the country to the other on a daily commute. we can create resilient local economies that keeps money flowing into local areas and keeps asperity locked in and not drained away from the north. that would help us to tackle notjust the climate emergency but potentially future pandemics we are warned may be coming down the line, and

it isjust over eight at range from about 6—14. in london, it is just over eight at the moment. as we head to the easter weekend, especially the second half, it will turn colder and there will be wintry showers. as far south as the south of england. but mostly in the hills. what we had yesterday was the warmest march day since 1968. the temperature reaching 24.5 in kew gardens. today there is a chance of seeing something similar but it depends on the cloud amounts. you can see on the chart, the yellows replaced by the blues over the next few days and the blue goes across the country, particularly as we head through sunday and into monday. an indication temperatures are on the way down. this morning, a weather front across scotland and northern ireland producing rain that will move south and weaken. behind it, colder air with wintry showers in the mountains. england and wales, dry weather but in the midlands, there could be a shower. more cloud in the southwest and wales. feeling cooler in the north. overnight, further wintry showers in the highlands. cloudy. where it breaks in the far north, that is where we will see frost. coming further south, not as cold. temperatures ranging from freezing, although you cannot see it in the chart, to 7—8. tomorrow, starting with cloud. it will break in places and we will see sunshine but not as mild as it has been. you can see the colder air filtering down. in the south and south—west, temperatures hanging on, perhaps the top temperature of 20 heading into tomorrow. good friday, things settled. a keen easterly breeze so colder on the north sea coastline. cloud thick enough potentially for drizzle. temperatures will have gone down, closer to where they should be at this time of year but also worth noting as we head into the weekend, it will change. yesterday the top temperature 24.5. for some on easter monday, we will not even break double figures so a contrast on the way. enjoy it while it lasts. it's a good job we made the most of yesterday! nice while it lasted. many have followed in the footsteps of captain sir tom moore after being inspired by his fundraising efforts, but veteranjohn wilcock is taking a slightly different approach to raise money. the 89—year—old, otherwise known as "rollerjohn", is roller—skating lengths of his neighbourhood until he reaches his 90th birthday, as breakfast�*s tim muffett has been finding out. final checks. chocks away. take—off. in the footsteps of captain sir tom moore, the roller—skates of 89—year—old raf veteran john wilcock. walking is a bit boring. jogging is a bit boring. and i saw this boy and his father skating, roller—skating. and i thought, well, that's the thing to do. along comes sir tom with his trolley, and i thought, yes, with my wife's roller, i'll be able to skate. john will be skating around this courtyard twice a week until his 90th birthday next year. i have worked out that if i do two laps a week, that'll take me to 90 laps. he did 100 laps for his 100th, and i'm doing 90 laps for my 90th. it's notjust captain tom who's inspired john. so has marcus rashford, who has highlighted concerns around free school meals. when i was a kid, we were a bit strapped and i had school dinners as well, free school dinners, and we were grateful for that. so i knew, from experience, what it was to go to school hungry. sojohn is fundraising for fareshare, which redistributes surplus food to front line charities. john's original plan had been to raise £500. his current total is nearly 7000 and counting. john's first big fundraising challenge, but not his first time on roller skates. i started skating when i was 19, in the royal air force, stationed in cromer in north norfolk. and there was a roller—skating rink. i learned to dance on skates. you are a neighbour ofjohn's, what do you make of him? 0h, he's very good, yeah, brilliant. he's very brave, i couldn't do it. she thinks you're very brave. i'm not in line for the vc, i don't think! you never know, you never know! i have had donations from three continents in four currencies. it's been quite endearing, and a bit humbling in a way. they make me feel a bit like a hero, and i find that a bit embarrassing. the people who donate are the real heroes. without them, what am i doing? well, skating his way into the nation's hearts. tim muffett, bbc news,

mother says the student,who has sickle cell disease, did not take his medication or any money when he left and is worried about his safety. a man hailed as "a national hero" for his intervention during the westminster bridge terror attack is battling covid in turkey. former solider tony davis was one of the first people to try and save pc keith palmer who was fatally stabbed in the attack in 2017. he sent this photo from his hospital bed and thanked friends for sending food, clothes and supplies. a mural made up of 150,000 hand—drawn hearts is being painted on a wall near st thomas's hospital. the mural right opposite parliament is to remember the victims of the pandemic. the hearts are being individually painted by people who have lost a loved one and when it's finished its

who work for london united are taking action over what the unite union says is a "downgrade" to their pay and conditions. bus firm owner ratp said it had offered a pay rise above inflation and that there were no changes to terms and conditions. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, severe delays on the hammersmith and city line. good morning. another fabulous day of weather. unseasonably warm once more across london and the south east. it is a last very, very warm day, though. at times today, the sunshine perhaps not quite as completely clear as yesterday. there might be high cloud around, just turning the sunshine hazy here and there, and some saharan dust mixed in, as well. but temperatures once more low to mid—20s celsius. if you see 24, it's 75 in fahrenheit and well above average. we could have a fabulous sunset because of that saharan dust ijust mentioned. overnight into tomorrow, we are starting, if you are further north, to see signs of a change, because, eventually, our winds will change direction and we will start to pull in colder air. for tomorrow, another lovely start. there will be some good spells of sunshine. temperatures have started to come down a little bit, though, and we will see that slide away with the colder air moving in from the north. through the bank holiday weekend, a dramatic drop in temperatures. it could be very cold on easter monday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and nina warhurst. our headlines today. don't blow

reached 24.5 celsius in kew gardens. today, we could see similar, depending on cloud amounts. a bit more clout today with one or two showers but heavier rain moving across scotland and northern ireland. all the details in ten minutes. it's wednesday the 31st of march. our top story. the health secretary has warned people who are enjoying the easing of lockdown restrictions not to "blow it" ahead of another day of hot temperatures. matt hancock issued his warning yesterday evening, saying people should enjoy the sun, but they should do it safely, after the country's hottest march day in 53 years. andy moore reports. it was enough to make you dance with joy. a wonderful spring day with some of the highest temperatures in more than half a century. and with lockdown easing, the freedom to go out and enjoy it. beaches were busy in many locations. this was rhyl in north wales. there's more good weather forecast in many parts of the uk today. but the health secretary is warning us not to abuse our new—found freedoms. in a tweet, matt hancock said... and the scientists are echoing that cautious message. just because you're out in the fresh air, that doesn't mean you can't catch covid. if you are meeting other people in an outdoor environment, you do need to keep that two metre distance at all times. if you don't, of course, then the fact that we're outdoors is somewhat negated by the fact that you are in close proximity to one another and there is the risk then, if you happen to be infected or you are close to someone who is infected, then there is a greater risk of the virus being transmitted. not surprisingly, public parks have been crowded. this was platt fields park in manchester, where police estimated around 3000 people had gathered. it was quieter yesterday at nottingham's arboretum after police declared powers to clear away anyone being disruptive. visitors were being searched for alcohol on entry. on monday, on the first day of lockdown easing, there were large unruly crowds in the park with no signs of social distancing. this was the message from the council leader to anyone breaking the guidelines. please stop. covid is not something to be messed around with, to be trifled with. this is a dangerous disease that has caused people to die in our city. we are not yet at a situation where all of our restrictions have been rolled back, just a gradual easing of those restrictions. please don't abuse that. london's parks have also been busy with sun seekers. with a temperature of 24 and a half degrees celsius at kew gardens, it was the hottest march day in 53 years. temperatures in the capital could reach similar or even higher levels today. soon, many of the 4 million people who have been shielding in england and wales will be able to get out and about and enjoy the good weather. this is their last day under special restrictions. i think there are some people who won't feel that they want to start seeing people. that's ok, and that's completely understandable. but i think also we have to have some confidence going forward that people can start getting their lives back. but the message from the authorities is, stay safe and stay cautious. andy moore, bbc news. germany has suspended the use of the astrazeneca vaccine for people under the age of 60, because of concerns about blood clots. the german medicines regulatorfound 31 cases of a type of rare blood clot out of 2.7 million people who had received the jab. it comes after canada limited use of the vaccine to the over—555. mark lobel reports. 31 cases of a rare form of blood clot in the brain appearing between four to 16 days after an astrazeneca jab now linked to nine deaths caused german chancellor angela merkel to raise the alarm. translation: trust rises - from the knowledge that every suspicion, every individual case will be investigated. the federal and state governments stand behind this. the german leader concedes this sudden change will delay germany's vaccination programme in the nearfuture. so far, only 11% of the population has received their firstjab. now the over 60s may see more of the astrazeneca supply coming their way. it has been quite a roller—coaster with this jab. originally, astrazeneca hadn't delivered what they'd promised to germany. germany's vaccine committee then only advised it for people under 65. then there was a brief pause while blood clots were investigated. now this. the agency is recommending an immediate pause in the use of the astrazeneca vaccine. canada has also suspended use of the vaccine for people under 55. though even those behind that recommendation fear it risks undermining confidence at a critical time. the last thing we want to do is contribute any sort of hesitancy around the vaccine. that's what keeps me up at night. but at the same time, if i can't confidently tell someone that i know that the benefits outweigh the risks because of their age, because of their risk of covid, i can't give them that medication. but astrazeneca insists the benefits far outweigh any of the risks. the who and uk regulator both say it's fine. mark lobel, bbc news. britain has become one of the most successful multi—cultural societies in europe, according to a new report set up by the government in response to last summer's black lives matter protests. it looked at racial inequalities in education, employment, health, and criminaljustice. it says the evidence does not support concerns that the uk is institutionally racist. but campaigners say there are still stark racial differences in many british institutions. detectives have released new images of student richard okorogheye, who has been missing from home for more than a week. the 19—year—old was

scheme has been in operation across wales since october. it is eight minutes past seven. i got it wrong a bit earlier, apologies for that. let's check in with carol, very hot yesterday, but less to come? absolutely, good morning, everybody. we had way above average temperatures yesterday but by easter monday, in the north it will be between three and 5 degrees, and in the south, 7—9. so a huge drop in temperatures coming our way. talking of yesterday, we had the warmest march date since 1968 when the temperature reached 24.5 celsius in kew gardens. prior to that, it was 25.6 in 1968. the cloud will sink south today, turning more patchy, cold air behind with wintry showers on the hills. ahead of that dry weather and sunshine but more cloud than yesterday which could produce the odd shower in the midlands and more cloud in wales and the south—west. we could see similar temperatures to what we had yesterday, depending on the cloud breaks. tonight the band of rain will continue to weaken as it pushes south and it will be quite cloudy for most of us. clearer skies in the south and part of the west and north of scotland, and in the north of scotland it will be cold enough for some frost but we should be without first elsewhere. tomorrow, it is chasing the cloud breaks. there will be quite a bit around, nonetheless, there will be some breaks in the cloud, but more of an easterly flow coming in so it will feel cooler in the north sea coastline. generally tomorrow in the north and east it will be colder than today. towards the west and south, colder than today but temperatures could still reach 20 degrees in some parts. after that it turns much colder, especially easter sunday and monday. it looks a lovely morning where you are, the sun is shining in the

cases of sexual harrassment or abuse after more than 11,000 current and former students posted about their experiences on the website everyone's invited. the government has described the allegations as shocking and abhorrent and said a helpline will be set up for victims. we'rejoined now by mp maria miller, who chaired the women and equalities select committee until last year, and nazir afzal, the former chief prosecutor for the north west of england. good morning. we will start with you, maria. you know having been on that select committee that there is nothing new here so why has nothing

scale of the problem in schools in terms of sexual harassment. there was action taken, guidance issued by the government and advice given to schools. but it doesn't seem to have changed the culture in our schools, and that's why i'm calling for ofsted to do a deep dive inquiry on this so that we can understand why these actions taken a number of years ago now have not resulted in a better experience for young people in our schools. there's obviously some terrible things happening, nazir, do you have a handle on why so many people, young people who have shared these things and things that have happened to them, abuse, on this website, have been unable to report these through official channels? culturally we tell children to be seen _ culturally we tell children to be seen and —

many ways we are dealing with the first place young people often experience sexual harassment so if we don't tackle it in our schools, we leave young people leaving school thinking that they are entirely right to be able to sexually harass or be on the receiving end of sexual harassment. that's why we see these behaviours in our universities, workplace and beyond. we need to get it right in schools but you are right that we need to make sure that when we look at the online world that we have the right precautions in play to make sure that things like extreme pornography aren't being routinely looked at by young people and the government now knows through the research that it has very recently done that extreme pornography can have a direct link to tour behaviours and even aggressive behaviours and even aggressive behaviours towards women. == behaviours and even aggressive behaviours towards women. -- to poor behaviour. behaviours towards women. -- to poor behaviour-

you stop that, it is clear that it is widespread, the viewing of this material for very young children as well. one police chief said this week that the availability of extreme pornography is part of an erosion of an understanding of normal sexual relationships. how do you police something like that when there are clearly many people making there are clearly many people making the link between some of the things that we see on these accounts of sexual abuse and what many children are watching?— are watching? well, we know that there needs _ are watching? well, we know that there needs to _

regulation of what goes on on line, and that is why the government is bringing in the online harm's spell to bring a duty on social media —— the online harm ill, to put a duty on social media providers to make sure that they comply with the law. and young people under the age of 18 are not viewing pornography particularly on a regular basis. we also need to make sure that more generally we are taking the issue of sexual harassment extremely seriously, and making sure that young people do not see this as part of a normal relationship. and that's why having relationship and sex education as mandatory as of september last year for all school—age children is extremely important, because they cannot believe or be allowed to believe that what they are seeing in pornography is what a normal loving relationship looks like. so we are taking some steps in the right direction with sex and relationship education being made mandatory, but there is far more to do. from education being made mandatory, but there is far more to do.— there is far more to do. from a prosecutor's — there is far more to do. from a prosecutor's perspective, i there is far more to do. from a prosecutor's

and if they talked, they haven't been listened to. let's start to listen to the scale of the problem. more importantly, to tackle it through the grass roots, through education in our schools and by

ahead. it's hard to believe, but injuly it will be ten years since the death of the singer amy winehouse. to mark the anniversary the bbc has announced it will release a new documentary about her life. in a moment we'll speak to a childhood friend of amy's about how she is still terribly missed by her family and fans. but first here's a reminder of her incredible talent. # they tried to make me go to rehab, isaid no, no, no # yes, i've been black # but when i come back, you'll know, know, know # i ain't got the time # and if my daddy thinks i'm fine # he walks away, the sun goes down # he takes the day but i'm grown # and in your way, in this blue shade # my tears dry on their own... # we only said goodbye with words # i died 100 times # you go back to her and i go back to black #. such a distinctive voice. let's speak now to amy's former flatmate and close friend juliette ashby. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. i don't know whether you listen and when you watch

person other than my father that i will ever know. and as kids, she was very caring, very loving. she wanted to open a cat sanctuary, things like that, she was obsessed with animals. obviously obsessed with music. highly intelligent, she would be playing, we'd be playing as kids, we'd be upstairs playing and she would be downstairs reading the newspaper around my kitchen table. that's the

and i'm pretty sure that that will last, you know, a lasting legacy for sure. aha, know, a lasting legacy for sure. a part of the perspective of this documentary says it will offer a new female driven

i9—year—old was last seen on the 22nd of march when he left his home in the ladbroke grove area. his mother says the student, who has sickle cell disease, did not take his medication or any money when he left and is worried about his safety. richard, 19, a student at oxford brookes a man hailed as a national hero for his intervention during the westminster bridge terror attack is battling covid in turkey. former solider tony davis was one of the first people to try and save pc keith palmer, who was fatally stabbed in the attack in 2017. he sent this photo from his hospital bed and thanked friends for sending food, clothes and supplies. a mural made up of 150,000 hand—drawn hearts is being painted on a wall near st thomas' hospital. the mural, right opposite parliament, is to remember the victims of the pandemic. the hearts are being individually painted by people who have lost a loved one and when it's finished it's expected to stretch more than half a mile. the royal horticultural society is calling on londoners to help protect sweet chestnut trees, which are under threat from disease. the culprits, nestled in this leaf, are the larvae of gall wasps. they make the trees grow abnormally and more vulnerable to disease. so people are being asked to report signs of poor health via the rhs website. disruption is expected on more than fifty bus routes in west, south and north london for the next couple of days. drivers who work for london united are taking action over what the unite union says is a "downgrade" to their pay and conditions. bus firm owner ratp said it had offered a pay rise above inflation and that there were no changes to terms and conditions. let's take a look at the travel situation now... on the tube — severe delays on the hammersmith and city line. pa rt part suspension on the victoria line. on the roads — in northolt — roadworks are continuing at the target roundabout. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning. another fabulous day of weather. unseasonably warm once more across london and the south east. it is a last very, very warm day, though. at times today, the sunshine perhaps not quite as completely clear as yesterday. there might be high cloud around, just turning the sunshine hazy here and there, and some saharan dust mixed in, as well. but temperatures once more low to mid—20s celsius. if you see 2a, it's 75 in fahrenheit and well above average. we could have a fabulous sunset because of that saharan dust ijust mentioned. overnight into tomorrow, we are starting, if you are further north, to see signs of a change, because, eventually, our winds will change direction and we will start to pull in colder air. for tomorrow, another lovely start. there will be some good spells of sunshine. temperatures have started to come down a little bit, though, and we will see that slide away with the colder air moving in from the north. through the bank holiday weekend, a dramatic drop in temperatures. it could be very cold on easter monday. i'm back in an hour. now though it's back to dan and nina. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and nina warhurst. referee rebecca welch will make history on easter monday when she takes charge of harrogate town's league two match against port vale, becoming the first english woman to referree a men's professional league match. rebecca's achievment is the latest milestone for female football match officials. wendy toms, who had refereed a non—league match in 1999 was lineswoman for the league cup final the following year at wembley. ten years later, amy fearn refereed part of a men's english football league game when she came on to replace the injured ref during the second—half of coventry versus nottingham forest in the championship. sian massey—ellis is now a familiar and regular assistant referee in the premier league and in 2019 she became the first english woman to officiate in a men's europa league game. just last weekend, france's stephanie frappert and ukraine's katerina monzul became the first women to take charge of men's world cup qualifiers. ahead of her big game on monday rebecca welch spoke to kelly cates on bbc radio 5live. two years ago people said you are a role model to young girls and it never sat comfortable with me. i have been doing work now where we go out and work with people in different areas of the country. people want to hear my story and they are inspired by it. when i see that i am happy to take on the title of being a role model. you think, if she can do that, i can do that. so it is a lot bigger than just she can do that, i can do that. so it is a lot bigger thanjust me doing a game, sending a message to the young girls, young referees, older referees, it is possible to achieve that level of refereeing in the game. achieve that level of refereeing in the name. , the game. good she did the interview in the kit. we'rejoined now byjane purdon from the

and dedication to being a match official. she makes the point very well about role models which is why it is important to applaud rebecca, say to young women this opportunity is available for you.— is

we don't want to exist when women in football, whether player, match official, coach, or off the pitch, where it is completely normal. it will arrive. i have been convinced that moment will arrive, but it will take some time. what we are about is working with football to do that. when we talk football, our take is while there are difficulties for women in various roles, it is an industry that wants to change and needs to change. sometimes it needs a helping hand in how to change.— hand in how to change. natalie, what is our hand in how to change. natalie, what is your advice — hand in how

flinch. around the age of 10—11, everything changes and the perception changes and then there is a sense you do not belong in that environment. where you handy? a sweet left peg. we need good left side players. a bit like gareth bale. or perhaps a bit of refereeing. we will be watching rebecca wells. the smile say it all for wales. they are in a group alongside belgium, obviously potentially going to finish top. and then you have the czech republic they played last night, the battle for second place, to get the win was huge. it's a tough group wales find themselves in and after losing to the number one ranked side in belgium last week, they beat the czech republic one nil to get their campaign back on track. the big goal came from one of the smallest players. danjames heading home gareth bale“s cross late in the sceond half to lift them up to third in their qualification group we were pleased with the performance in belgium, the second half performance, especially. but we came away with nothing so we knew going into this game there was a little bit more pressure. but even though it was early on in the tournament, especially because of the way the result went with belgium and the czech republic. so we knew the three points would help us a lot tonight. we are grateful to see danjames stand up at the back post and head the goalfor us. there were more protests aimed at qatar last night. belgium wearing "football supports change" t—shirts, in reference to the plight of migrant workers there, before they beat belarus 8—0. the republic of ireland played the world cup hosts in a friendly last night. and it's fair to say things aren't going well for the irish. they went ahead in hungary, throuthames mclean. but they let in an equaliser. manager stephen kenny said the critics were kicking them while they're down, after defeats in their two world cup qualifiers, but they are still without a win after his 11 games in charge. later, scotland go in search of their first win in qualifying, they're up against the faroe islands, while northern ireland take on bulgaria. and it's so far, so good for england, but they face poland at wembley tonight, their trickiest opponents yet. and even though their star striker robert lewandowski is out injured, they'll provide a real challenge. i've played polish teams before. they fight for the cause. they are a proud country. they are a good football team. they have got a new coach. so they have high motivation. we all know this is a key game in the qualification group. we have got to keep improving. we have shown a good level in our first two matches this week. we have got to keep stepping up and i believe the players can do that. we're getting to the business end of the miami open and world number one ash barty said she was playing her best in a long time, after reaching the semi—finals. she's didn't play much in 2020, choosing to stay in australia due to the covid travel restrictions. she needed all her strength to overcome aryna sabalenka in three sets and faces elina svitolina next. helen glover's bid to make the great britain team for tokyo 2020 is on track. she's been named in the squad for the european championships in italy next week. she retired after winning her second olympic gold in rio, but made a comeback three months ago. she says her mission is to become the first woman in british rowing history to make an olympic team after having children. and with her level of dedication and commitment he would not bet against her. having her bag around the set “p her. having her bag around the set up with her experience will boost the team. idid the team. i did charity rowing for comic relief and was privileged to be on the same team as helen glover. halfway through as we did the practice run i said will you do a favour, for those of us who are amateurs, will you stop growing for amateurs, will you stop growing for a bit. it was so tough to get the boat moving. as soon as helen glover and the other professional kicked in... plain sailing.just so in... plain sailing. just so good. the technique is incredible. the power and strength and mental capability is impressive. after three children, amazing. during lockdown got her back into it and she realised she was producing times that would make her competitive again and that prompted the return to top level. it was announced earlier this year that glastonbury would be cancelled for the second year running because of the pandemic. but for fans of the festival, there may be a glimmer of hope on the horizon. organisers have hinted that some gigs could still go ahead on the site this summer, and we're expecting an announcement later this morning. fiona lamdin is there for us. fi, what can you tell us? let me show you where we are, we are at the bottom of glastonbury tor. where the farm is three miles that way. the big festival is off but as you can see, the spirit of glastonbury festival certainly

have performed with the likes of phil collins and queen. his passion has even led to him setting up his own company, manufacturing drum kits used by the royal marines. it's now featured in a new series of made in britain, which starts tomorrow night on itv4. let's take a look. the firm was founded by keith, a former cabinet maker, - and al, a stand—up comic| and passionate drummer. i met keith about seven years ago now. we just clicked. and the drums he made for me were incredible. the most beautiful thing i'd ever seen. he said, the people i'm working with now, it might come to an end soon. so i said, without thinking about it, if that happens, call me, we will go into business together. i don't know how serious i was when i said that to him. the thing is, we never had a plan. just because you haven't got a plan doesn't mean to say you haven't got a clue. it's been, without sounding like an idiot, it's been a wild ride. and we can speak to al now. if you want an example of

health secretary matt hancock's message as crowds of people enjoy the hottest march temperatures for more than 50 years. it's the final day of shielding for millions of clinically vulnerable people in england and wales, who've stayed at home during the pandemic. germany suspends the astrazeneca covid vaccine for the under 60s after fresh safety concerns. and good morning from knowsley safari. we

march day since 1968, temperature reaching 24.5 celsius in kew gardens. today we could see similar values but today there is some more cloud around, more showers and drizzle and some rain in the north of scotland and northern ireland. all of it coming in the next ten minutes. the health secretary has warned people who are enjoying the easing of lockdown restrictions not to "blow it" ahead of what could be another day of hot temperatures. the relaxing of the rules mean groups of up to six people, or two households, are now able to socialise in parks and gardens. matt hancock issued his warning yesterday evening after the country's hottest march day in 53 years. in a tweet, he said: "let's enjoy the sun but let's do it safely. we have come so far, don't blow it now." meanwhile, today marks the last day of shielding guidance for four million of the most clinically vulnerable people in england and wales who have been advised to stay at home during the pandemic so far. i think there are some people who will not feel that they want to start seeing people. that's ok. and thatis start seeing people. that's ok. and that is completely understandable. but i think also we have to have some confidence going forward that people can start getting their lives back. let's speak to our political correspondent nick eardley. people making the most of the sunshine yesterday but quite a serious

map is on course, and that should mean more things opening over the next few weeks, it is largely dependent on everything going according to plan. and because of that, we're hearing ministers constantly telling us, the rules are there so you need to stick by them. and you need to be pretty sensible, actually, when they are relaxed. that's exactly why you are hearing the health secretary saying, late last night, at the point at this stage is to make sure that everybody basically plays by the rules. so that all the progress we have had in the lockdowns over the last 12 weeks or so

tomorrow in england and wales, the advice changes, formally bringing an end to shielding the 3.8 million people. it doesn't mean anything is back to normal, because sort of like the way restrictions are being lifted, the message is still very much he lifted, the message is still very much be sensible about it. people who have been shielding told still to minimise their contacts, work from home where possible, not to meet in big groups of people, because the government wants to make sure that in the next few weeks, when things are gradually opened and we are all meeting up a bit more, that we do it in a way that allows the virus to be kept under control. we heard the prime minister say in that press conference on monday that, yes, infections will go up and sadly, that means deaths will probably go up as well. they want to minimise that as much as possible. i should just point out in scotland and northern ireland, the shielding rules are going to change that probably a little bit further into april. we are in another big week and plenty more to come but the byword is still cautious.— and plenty more to come but the byword is still cautious. thank you very much- _ germany has suspended the use of the astrazeneca vaccine for people under the age of 60 because of concerns about blood clots. the german medicines regulatorfound 31 cases of a type of rare blood clot out of 2.7 million people who had received the jab. it comes after canada limited use of the vaccine to the over—55s. our berlin correspondent jenny hilljoins us now. good to speak to you. what more do we know

angela merkel announced last night on _ made in germany? angela merkel announced last night on the i announced last night on the recommendation of government scientists, the specific concerns in germany focus on 31 separate cases of people who, four to 16 days having had the astrazeneca gap, developed a very rare form of blood clot on the brain. nine of those people died, the cases are described as very serious. the vast majority happened to women, young and middle—aged women. we don't know whether that is significant at this stage, it may simply be that women were disproportionately represented in the priority group to have been given access to the astrazeneca vaccine here. so it's too soon to tell. angela merkel as she announced the decision made it clear that as far as she is concerned, this is about public trust and transparency. she said, it wouldn't do to sweep under the carpet these very rare but very serious cases. this is, a pretty tough times angela she is struggling. —— this has come at a pretty tough time to angela merkel. she is struggling with the roll—out of vaccine and she acknowledge this will probably not do much good in terms of public confidence in the vaccine. she is dealing with rising case numbers, germany is struggling through a third wave of pandemic largely fuelled by the b117 virus which did so much damage in britain over the winter. and mrs merkel is also struggling to get regional leaders here, who have a lot of power, to agree to bring in the lockdown restrictions which she and every health expert in the country say are necessary now. so it is a tough time for her. it's worth saying that overall, the german authorities along with the world health organization and the uk regulators say it is a safe vaccine. the european medicines agency knows about these cases and is investigating but still says it is far more dangerous to catch covid. the very low risks of taking this vaccine are far outweighed by the

summer's black lives matter protests. it looked at racial inequalities in education, employment, health, and criminal justice. it says the evidence does not support concerns that the uk is institutionally racist. but campaigners say there are still stark racial differences in many british institutions. detectives have released new images of student richard okorogheye who has been missing from home for more than a week. the 19—year—old was last seen boarding a bus in the ladbroke grove area of london on 22 march. his mother says the student, who has sickle cell disease, did not take his medication or any money when he left. the archbishop of canterbury has addressed, for the first time, the claim made by the duchess of sussex that she and prince harry got married three days before the royal wedding. during her interview with oprah winfrey, broadcast earlier this month, meghan said she and the duke of sussex had a secret marriage ceremony with justin welby in their "backyard". but in an interview with an italian newspaper the archbishop said the legal wedding was on the saturday. a scheme to fit electronic tags on offenders to see if they are breaching

combines two of my favourite things, chocolate and history. that sounds like a joke! what did you last find when you were clearing out the attic? well, staff at a national trust property in norfolk unearthed what they are calling a "remarkable" find. is this what we talked about earlier? we mentioned it in the papers earlier. they found a chocolate bar that is 121 years old. it was discovered in

that was sent out in 1900. that is the tin it was made in. the chocolate was made by rowntree“s, cabbies and fried“s, there was a bit of a debate because they were run by creakers —— cabarets. they didn't want to do —— it was made by cadburys, and they were owned by quakers. but quakers were patriots so they didn't want to have anything to do with it, but queen victoria wanted to send the

beating down in london, we are at the bbc, on the roof. temperature is widely seven and 14 degrees today, but it will change few through the next few days. yesterday the temperature at kew gardens was 24.5 celsius, making it the warmest march day since 1968. today depending on cloud amounts, we could see something similar. there is going to be a bit more cloud around today and we will see it around today and we will see it around the midlands, northern england, wales and the south—west. some thick enough for the odd shower or spot of drizzle. there will be dry weather with sunshine, rain across scotland and northern ireland sinking south and weakening, and some wintry showers behind that in the mountains of scotland. it will turn much colder there. in any sunshine, 23 or 24 degrees in the south. as we head through the evening and overnight, the weather front continues to sink southwards. it will continue to weaken as well. there will be quite a bit of cloud around. clearerskies there

hospital admissions are heading in the right direction, but the advice differs around the uk. shielding comes to an end at midnight tonight for 3.8 million people in england and nearly 130,000 people in wales. in scotland, shielding advice will remain in place until the 26th of april. people in northern ireland do not yet have a date for when the guidance will change, but a gradual easing is planned to start on the 12th of april. breakfast“s graham satchell has been speaking to two people who have been shielding since the start of the pandemic. here we are, just walking into the flat now. as you can see, not the biggest place in the world. for much of the last year, rob has been shielding on his small one—bedroom flat. the isolation, loneliness, has taken its toll. i've lost so much of my... i don't know, my confidence. just my personality. i've just gone into myself, you could say. i've always been a very sociable person. one that likes to help people, likes to make people laugh, make people smile. and when you are feeling so low inside, it's hard to get back to that person. rob has muscular dystrophy. he is trying to keep his fitness up on the treadmill, but his condition has deteriorated. it“s had a massive impact. i cannot stress enough how much physically it is affecting me. of course, when it affects you physically, mentally, you are affected as well. so, all in all, i'm not the same person i was before all this started just over a year ago. i've just received a letter i've been waiting for for a whole year. that letter says shielding is over, after a year of not being able to go out and enjoy myself. out there in the sunshine, walking my dog. things that we take for granted. well, now, i have a piece of paper that gives me a passport to freedom, and here it is. for me, it is a mixture of happy, excited to be able to get out there, but also a lot of trepidation, anxiety, because i am not convinced that it is 100% safe to be out there yet. but i can't stay in here for ever. anyone that knows me will tell you i don't let things beat me. i try to keep as positive as possible and try to get on with it. in essex, catherine is out for a walk with her daughter. she is on her way to see her parents, something she hasn't done for months. the isolation of not actually being able to see and do the things that you would just normally do has been really difficult, particularly not being able to see my parents. i see them all the time, normally. we are very close. they look after me a lot. so that has been really, really tough. dog barks. 0h! hello, darling. oh, you made mejump then. would you like a nice drink? yes, please. yeah? what would you like? meeting family like this a huge relief for catherine. shielding has had a real impact on her overall health. catherine has a rare neurological disorder. her treatment has been interrupted in lockdown. i have to have 31 injections in my head every 12 weeks, which has also been put off a couple of times due to the pandemic. i already suffer from chronic fatigue, so just all of those things combined, the thought of what it might do to me, made me very anxious. i did go to a very dark place during the first lockdown. almost 4 million people in england and wales have been told they can stop shielding from tomorrow. scotland and northern ireland are expected to follow suit in a few weeks. catherine can't wait. me and my daughter, we are planning to go shopping when the shops are open, see friends, spend more time with my family. just being able to get out again and see people and just such simple things that we took for granted. i can't waitjust to go and get an ice cream down the beach. simple things like that. we have lost so much. we have lost loved ones. missed opportunities. so many things we have lost from this that we have got to try and hold onto that positive outlook that we will all get through this. the transition back to some sort of normality will be hard for the most clinically vulnerable. for some, there will be considerable anxiety. take care. bye— bye, take care. but the fact that shielding restrictions are being lifted is the clearest sign yet that things are moving in the right direction. graham satchell, bbc news. you cannot imagine. what some people have been through. _ you cannot imagine. what some people have been through. that _ you cannot

out on april fools“ day. she has been shielding for 18 months before the shielding process came into place. i think she will be up to a lot of mischief! i have a lot of patience, in three different categories. one group you are extremely clinically vulnerable who are very scared and they have not left the house at all, they have had their shopping delivered, they have really struggled, they have gone to a very dark place. the middle group are excited, slightly nervous, and really empowered by the fact that there are so many good things in place such as the vaccination, so that numbers are going down, and the death rate, only 56, i say only, it is tragic loss but the numbers have gone down. my third group of patients who are saying, i'm ok, i've had my second dose of the vaccine, ifeel very i've had my second dose of the vaccine, i feel very protected and i know everyone around me where i live is following all the rules, i will make sure that i am as best as i possibly can be. i know i can work from home. so that is howl possibly can be. i know i can work from home. so that is how i am approaching it with my patients. everybody is a slightly different and the outlook is slightly different but it is still, you are not alone, and make sure that you ask for help when you need it. j ask for help when you need it. i have the utmost respect for people who have had to spend all this time inside the confines of the home. so what are the coping mechanisms? j have had some people who have never had any mental health issues, and they now have things like agoraphobia, they are scared to leave the front door. we are able to support them in so many ways. direct access to cognitive behavioural therapy and other psychotherapies, so if anyone is watching this and wants to have real medical support, contact your gp, or go online and self refer. there is access in regard to the apps available. nhs england have got apps, also, good samaritans, mind, salvation army, so many great charities, and local groups as well. you can google it and find out what is available. volunteers are giving up their time. i say to people, if you are scared to come out of the house, don't do it all in one go, don't think, 1st of april, i can do whatever i want. we still need to be careful, tiny steps, see if you can get to the end of the house, then the end of the street, then come back, when you know it is a quiet place. it's all about doing incremental and small changes when you are ready. you talked about _ changes when you are ready. you talked about those three groups. everybody will feel differently about this. are there some people who are feeling that the restrictions are still should be there, and people should still be shielding? there, and people should still be shieldin: ? , ., there, and people should still be shieldint? , ., , ., shielding? yes, of course there are. because everybody's _ shielding? yes, of course there are. because everybody's state - shielding? yes, of course there are. because everybody's state is - because everybody's state is slightly different. i“m because everybody's state is slightly different. i'm getting that particularly with parents. most of our shielded groups 16 and above have been vaccinated, particularly in our surgery. a lot of parents who have extremely vulnerable children have extremely vulnerable children have as well. the vaccination programme, there was a special group between 12 to 15 years old who have neuro disabilities, and they have been offered the vaccine after consultations with their specialists. we know that children can spread the virus. but we do need to have the balance between loneliness and mental health and people getting back to normality. the great thing is if the weather is beautiful, there is less risk of respiratory problems in the summertime. this feels like to me, as a gp where we are locally, the right time to get that confidence back with our shielding groups. it“s little steps, i“m back with our shielding groups. it“s little steps, i'm not expecting people tomorrow to be out and about, we still need to make sure that we are following the rules as they are, the rule of six, meeting in outdoor spaces, physical distances, hand washing and face covering because despite having the vaccine, you can still pass on the virus until everyone is vaccinated. we are in a global pandemic, we can have mutations and they can cross our borders. so all of those measures still have to be followed.- borders. so all of those measures still have to be followed. lovely to

reopen on april 12. it has been a very difficult year. new figures out this morning show that the visitor numbers for attractions across the uk last year plummeted by 70%, perhaps not a big surprise but it underlines the damage that the pandemic has done to the tourism industry. here they have been working very hard to get this place ready to welcome people back. lord derbyjoins us, the owner of the park, good morning. i'm interested to hear what your road to recovery is, to help this business bounce back. it recovery is, to help this business bounce back-— bounce back. it has been a

challenging year as you highlight, we have been closed for half of the last year. and with social distancing when we are open, we are careful and numbers are much reduced anyway. we are absolutely

hard, we have some new species in, we have been really looking at a conservation programme, so we have got some new zebras and some new wild asses, i really exciting programme for the future. we know we will not be able to open the restaurant and we think eating habits will be changing for longer than this so if you can hear the hammering behind us, we are building a new outdoor food court so that people can come up and eat outside. there will be a covered area because we can't get away with the rain at times but it will be open—sided so will be able to have social distancing, with a variety of

soon as we went live, we went and did it for our members first and they were looking up. we think it is one of the few upsides of covid, rather than just arriving on the door, everyone is booking in advance and booking for a timed slot. actually it's giving a much better customer experience, because nobody hits crowded points. from our viewpoint, it does mean that on a busy day we are at half

alpa patel. police have released new images of missing student richard okorogheye. the 19—year—old was last seen ten days ago when he left his home in the ladbroke grove area. his mother says the student, who has sickle cell disease, did not take his medication or any money when he left. a man hailed as a national hero for his intervention during the westminster bridge terror attack is battling covid in turkey. former solider tony davis was one of the first people to try and save pc keith palmer, who was fatally stabbed in the attack in 2017. he sent this photo from his hospital bed and thanked friends for sending supplies. a mural made up of 150,000 hearts is being painted on a wall near st thomas' hospital. the mural right opposite parliament, is to remember the victims of the pandemic. the hearts are being individually painted by people who have lost a loved one. when it's finished, it's expected to stretch more than half a mile. londoners are being asked to help protect sweet chestnut trees that are under threat from disease. the culprits, nestled in this leaf, are the larvae of gall wasps. they make the trees grow abnormally and more vulnerable to disease. so people are being asked to report signs of poor health via the rhs website. bus passengers are being warned about disruption on more than 50 bus routes across london for the next couple of days. drivers are taking action over what the unite union calls a downgrade to their pay and conditions. bus firm owner ratp said it had offered a pay rise above inflation and that there were no changes to terms and conditions. let's take a look at the travel situation now... on the tube — severe delays on the hammersmith and city line. the victoria line is part suspended — with no service between seven sisters and brixton. on the roads — disruption on the north circular at bounds green. a lane is blocked westbound. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning. another fabulous day of weather. unseasonably warm once more across london and the south east. it is a last very, very warm day, though. at times today, the sunshine perhaps not quite as completely clear as yesterday. there might be high cloud around, just turning the sunshine hazy here and there, and some saharan dust mixed in, as well. but temperatures once more low to mid—20s celsius. if you see 2a, it's 75 in fahrenheit and well above average. we could have a fabulous sunset because of that saharan dust ijust mentioned. overnight into tomorrow, we are starting, if you are further north, to see signs of a change, because, eventually, our winds will change direction and we will start to pull in colder air. for tomorrow, another lovely start. there will be some good spells of sunshine. temperatures have started to come down a little bit, though, and we will see that slide away with the colder air moving in from the north. through the bank holiday weekend, a dramatic drop in temperatures. it could be very cold on easter monday. i'm back injust after 9. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and nina. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and nina warhurst. to pack in the programme until we can see you giraffes at 9:15am. let's find out what's on today's show with gethin and kym. back from solving cases on crimewatch live, rav wilding tells us how the police are fighting the text scammers targeting your post. he'll show you what to look out for to avoid being conned. also on the show — seven out of ten people have debts they don't discuss. to paying off debt. it takes a lot to get one of our guest to part with her cash, sara davies tells us what's in store as dragon's den returns to our screens. dr rupy aujla is also here to share why three could now be the magic number when it comes to eating more fruit and veg and how they could be invaluable in fighting diseases. and we want to hear from you so if you have a question for dr rupy send it into us now. and 50,000 people in the uk have their appendix removed every year, but with recent reports that antibiotics could work just as well as surgery, truth or scare presenter angela rippon has been to investigate whether the op is really necessary. plus, our midweek strictly work—out comes courtesy of aljaz and today we're all about the core. it is always about the core with

was in 1987 that diana, princess of wales visited london's middlesex hospital and the famous pictures of her holding the hand of a man dying with aids started to change the public discussion about the virus. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has taken three people who remember that time well back to the hospital's former site, to discuss their hopes for a new uk aids memorial. it's the late1980s. ash is a student about to discover the gay scene. judy, a teenager about to become a nurse. and lord fowler is the then health secretary, about to take on the biggest fight of his political career. that will be going out to every household in the country. aids was the thing that united them back then. a desire to build a permanent memorial to that time and those people is what unites them today. voiceover: there is now a danger that has become a threat to us all. | i remember it very well. vividly, in fact, when the "aids, don't die of ignorance" hit the screens. and i rememberjust being shocked. itjust became part of living. you just expected that some of your friends would just disappear. we didn't have a vaccine. we didn't have any kind of medicine. so the only thing you could do, in fact, was to warn people who were not infected about the dangers. anyone can get it, man or woman. the ad was commissioned by lord fowler in 1987. but he had to fight the establishment to get it on air. margaret thatcher was famously not happy with it. she wasn't happy with it, no. she was very concerned, and so were several others, that we were teaching people things that they knew nothing of up until that point. the assumption was that having been told, everyone would go out and experiment. well, it was nonsense. if you ignore aids, it - could be the death of you. so don't die of ignorance. the campaign was a success. the uk went on to have comparatively low hiv infection rates. but there was a cost. one of our friends, who was an actor, we heard had died alone in his flat. he was so ashamed of being hiv positive, that he didn't tell anyone and he was found dead. i rememberjohn turning round to me saying, "i wish i hadn't done that damn ad." thejohn he speaks of isjohn hurt, the actor who voiced the campaign. as a nurse in an aids hospice, judy held the hands of dying men who would not reveal their real names. there were people who did everything that they could to actually hide from the fact they were dying of aids. peter, in '87. there was graham, there wasjohn, who i dated. there was nigel. nigel finch, i dated him after rupert died. i think even now, speaking about it, it is really very difficult. because even in death, there was still another loss of dignity. i remember men and women who died of aids being brought in in those yellow toxic—waste bags. because they were considered contaminant, rather than being considered as a person. given the chance again, would you do it all exactly the same? i think we would, actually. we were in an emergency and you had to tackle that emergency as it came. today, all three believe there is still work to be done to tackle the stigma of that time and they are supporting a campaign by ash to create a uk aids memorial, one that could finally lift the burden of shame from those who died. how did families cope after somebody�*s death and that they now became persona non grata? there were so many other voices that weren't heard, which is why this memorial is so valid. i would be delighted to help in any way i can. those lives deserve, i think, to be remembered. modern medicine today means hiv isn't the killer it once was, but stigma is. that is why i set up the campaign. the campaign is to remember those who we lost, but to carry on fighting stigma. because stigma stops people accessing medication. i hope above all it points to the future and says this must never ever happen again. and that we must now use all our efforts to fight the prejudice and discrimination which still surrounds this area. and if a memorial can help to do that, then i think it would have achieved a vast amount. it feels like a lifetime ago and yet it was the early 1980s. former health secretary lord fowler there, speaking to breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin. we can now speak to virginia blake, whose fatherjohn passed away in the 1990s after contracting aids. thanks for talking to us. your dad's former

has changed, thankfully, but one could argue not enough. definitely not enough. people ask me about my dad and i say he has died and they want to know how and i tell them, but i find their reaction is difficult. sometimes people not so much now, but they would say he deserved it and they were glad he was dead and it is good that is over. on the other reaction would people would be distressed and upset about it. and i would have to make them feel better about the fact my dad died from aids related illnesses. that has always been challenging. in recent years it has changed. people are more

contracting aids. and thank you to viewers. you asked for pictures of what people have been up to after the easing of restrictions. we will show some of those later. now we have an update on whether over the easter weekend. it is turning colder. i am on the roof of the bbc in london and the temperature is shooting up already. we are getting used to the warm weather but you should not because it will drastically change. on monday, we are looking at temperatures in the north of the country between 3—5 celsius. in the south, between 7—9. when you consider yesterday the temperature reached 24.5 in kew gardens, making it the warmest march days since the 29th of march 1968, that is quite a difference. those temperatures of 24.5 are reminiscent of what we can expect injuly. you can see from looking at the temperature gradient how we start off with yellow, but thatis how we start off with yellow, but that is replaced by blue. particularly on easter sunday and monday, blue dominates the chart and on monday, we will have a northerly so it will feel cold for some. a different type of weather. this morning, more cloud for some producing drizzle and showers. around the midlands, also wales, south west. and we have a weather front across scotland and northern ireland, sinking south and taking rain with it. temperatures up to 23 in the south. tonight the weather front move south, taking what is left of it, cloud, with it. remaining clear across the south of england, parts of wales and far north—east of scotland, which is where we are likely to see frost. less likely to see it anywhere else. tomorrow starting with clear skies in the far north. more cloud coming in the far north. more cloud coming in across southern and eastern areas and some of it could be thick enough for the odd spot. a keen easterly breeze around the north sea coastline, the southern end, so in the north and east temperatures down on what we are looking at today. in the south and south—west, hanging on to 20 degrees. good friday, there will be cloud around but also looking at clearer skies and sunshine in the northern half of the country. cloud in the south that will break up. feeling cold along the north sea coastline. temperatures way down, closer to where they should be, as we head into the second half of the easter weekend, below average. from above average, to below average, it is all going on with the weather. enjoy the temperature while it lasts. have a lovely wednesday. planning to wrap up warm for frosty barbecues in our friends' planning to wrap up warm for frosty barbecues in ourfriends' gardens. family coming round of the weekend, i did not check the weather, i assumed it would be ok. but bring your coats if you are coming. the good weather yesterday brought out our pet hate. there are lots of pictures of litter around. i cannot get my head around he would leave it for someone else. the height of selfishness. why should someone else take your rubbish? let's return to calming images. yes i can feel myself getting angry about that. we've been asking for your pictures of beautiful scenes from up and down the country this morning and we can show you some of them now. this is in essex, sent in by nicholas scott. and steve thought we might like this scenic sunset last night in conwy, north wales. this is the isle of arran captured by sylvie coster. stunning. here's sunrise over sunderland, as seen from roker marina sent in by pat 'seadog' mccardle. and finally spring wouldn't be spring without some lambs sent in by ian willson. beautiful. has that distracted you from litter? many have followed in the footsteps of captain sir tom moore after being inspired by his fundraising efforts, but veteranjohn wilcock is taking a slightly different approach to raise money. the 89—year—old, otherwise known as "rollerjohn", is roller—skating lengths of his neighbourhood until he reaches his 90th birthday, as breakfast�*s tim muffett has been finding out. final checks. chocks away. take—off. in the footsteps of captain sir tom moore, the roller—skates of 89—year—old raf veteran john wilcock. walking is a bit boring. jogging is a bit boring. and i saw this boy and his father skating, roller—skating. and i thought, well, that's the thing to do. along comes sir tom with his trolley, and i thought, yes, with my wife's roller, i'll be able to skate. john will be skating around this courtyard twice a week until his 90th birthday next year. i have worked out that if i do two laps a week, that'll take me to 90 laps. he did 100 laps for his 100th, and i'm doing 90 laps for my 90th. it's notjust captain tom who's inspired john. so has marcus rashford, who has highlighted concerns around free school meals. when i was a kid, we were a bit strapped and i had school dinners as well, free school dinners, and we were grateful for that. so i knew, from experience, what it was to go to school hungry. sojohn is fundraising for fareshare, which redistributes surplus food to front line charities. john's original plan had been to raise £500. his current total is nearly 7000 and counting. john's first big fundraising challenge, but not his first time on roller skates. i started skating when i was 19, in the royal air force, stationed in cromer in north norfolk. and there was a roller—skating rink. i learned to dance on skates. you are a neighbour ofjohn's, what do you make of him? 0h, he's very good, yeah, brilliant. he's very brave, i couldn't do it. she thinks you're very brave. i'm not in line for the vc, i don't think! you never know, you never know! i have had donations from three continents in four currencies. it's been quite endearing, and a bit humbling in a way. they make me feel a bit like a hero, and i find that a bit embarrassing. the people who donate are the real heroes. without them, what am i doing? well, skating his way into the nation's hearts. tim muffett, bbc news, warwick. brilliant. every time i watch it i think he will go off into one of those cars but he doesn't, thank goodness. he has already raised more than £1000 since we have been on air. he has now raised more than £8,000. and he is a roller—skating to feed children, he says. he said he knows what it is like to go hungry and all too many children do at the moment. a bit of glastonbury news this morning. we had some breaking news.

virtually on the 22nd of may for one day only. great news. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8:59. this is bbc news with the latest headlines. a major report commissioned by the government in response to the black lives matter protests concludes the uk is not institutionally racist. no one in the report is saying that racism doesn't exist. we found anecdotal evidence of this. however, what we did find was the evidence of actual institutional racism, no, that wasn't there, we didn't find that in our report. what's your experience? is britain is a model for other white majority countries, as this report suggests? let me know this morning on social media or e—mail. also this morning...
