covid—19 vaccines for the whole world or hand over their know—how to developing countries. that to developing countries. having people vaccinated that having people vaccinated in one country and leaving others out will not necessarily solve the problem. and after threats and pressure from the chinese authorities, bbc correspondent john sudworth relocates from beijing to taiwan. hello to you. the french president has put mainland france back into lockdown for four weeks from saturday. in a national televised address, emmanuel macron said all but the essential shops would shut and people would again be asked to work from home. he said from next week schools would close for three weeks, with exceptions for the children of key workers. he also announced a vaccination programme, promising that by the end of the summer, everyone over 18 will be vaccinated. our paris correspondent, lucy williamson, reports. paris today is a tale of two cities — a sense of freedom in the streets, in hospitals, a sense of deja vu. with more than 5,000 patients in intensive care, france is already above normal saturation level. in this small paris unit today, all nine life—support beds were full. translation: the thing that worries us a lot is that - protective measures are not being respected. when the weather's good, we see people walking by the seine, all cramped together, orshopping in the market without any protection. and we know that in these kinds of situations, the government has trouble enforcing the restrictions. 79—year—old madeleine arrived here after refusing the astrazeneca jab. she didn't trust it with all her underlying conditions, she told me. but while waiting for the pfizer one, she caught covid. has it changed her mind about the astrazeneca vaccine? non, non. "no," she said. it's here in the capital's life support units that pressure on president macron has been sharpest. some doctors have warned of an impending health disaster, saying they could soon be forced to choose which patients live and which die. tonight, mr macron admitted france needed to toughen the rules. from saturday, everyone will have to stay local and schools will close for up to a month. translation: we did everything we could to take these _ decisions as late as possible and only when they became strictly necessary. that time is now. but i would also like to tell you this evening that, thanks to the vaccine, we can see the way out of the crisis. with transfers from the worst—hit areas already begun, doctors have been calling for a third national lockdown. the light restrictions currently in place in areas like paris, they say, aren't clear or powerful enough. but these are the rules now being rolled out across france. we don't understand them any more. we're like, are we being quarantined or not? we don't really understand, so we're going out without really knowing. but, yeah, what i think isjust, like, maybe it would be better to go home, but on the other side i want to be out. after weeks of criticism over his strategy, president macron is facing a nation divided, between those who say they can't face another lockdown and those who can't face another wave. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. the jury in the trial of derek chauvin has been shown new footage of george floyd, including police body camera video in the moments just before his death. the court also had to adjourn, briefly, because one witness broke down while giving testimony. the former police officer has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one of manslaughter. aleem maqbool has this report. just a warning: you may find the material in this story distressing. derek chauvin on the right here watched with the rest of the court this now haunting footage, of george floyd dressed in black seen for the first time in the shop where the sad series of events began. a shop assistant, 19—year—old christopher martin, said mr floyd seemed physically well and in good spirits, if a little disorientated and high. george floyd is seen moving to the cigarette counter, where he uses what is suspected to have been a forged note, though christopher martin accepted it, saying he thought george floyd wasn't aware of it being fake. the manager of the shop asked that the police be called. more footage showed officers arriving and pulling george floyd from his car, and later, being handcuffed and led further up the road. charles mcmillan was another eyewitness to take to the stand and his voice is heard in some of the most distressing video of the day. don't do me like that, man! if you get in this car, we can talk! george floyd is soon seen being pushed to the ground by officers. i can't breathe. i can't- breathe. ican't breathe, man. mr mcmillan, do you need a minute? it's clear what happened that day last may has had a life—changing impact on so many. a crowd soon gathered and among the bystanders was the young cashier who had alerted his manager about the fake note. what was going through your time during that time period? uh, disbelief. and, guilt. why guilt? if i had just not taken the bill, this could have been avoided. it's been hard for many to hear teenagers talk of their guilt over george floyd's death when the reminders of the actions of the man on trial are inescapable. aleem maqbool, bbc news. let's go live to minneapolis, and the bbc�*s lebo diseko. of course just watching the report, it was tough to watch, but you and everyone in the court has seen the body camera footage and the security camera footage again and again. gruelling day? absolutely, mike, in the last hour or so the prosecution pretty relentlessly showing body camera footage from all four officers that we hear that day, arresting mr floyd and taking us through the interaction. from the beginning, right around the corner here, and bringing him infront around the corner here, and bringing him in front of the cup foods store. the prosecution will want the jury to go home with those images in their minds over and over again, hearing mr floyd egging for his life. very distressing, but as they say, i think the impact was what the prosecution was hoping thejurors would go home in their minds with. find home in their minds with. and it is very clear, _ home in their minds with. and it is very clear, from _ home in their minds with. and it is very clear, from the way some of the witnesses are dealing with that, giving their testimony, this is still a very open wound? testimony, this is still a very open wound?— testimony, this is still a very oen wound? ~ , ., open wound? absolutely. naming, curin: a open wound? absolutely. naming, curing a 19-year-old _ open wound? absolutely. naming, curing a 19-year-old boy, - curing a 19—year—old boy, really, talking about the fact he still wishes he had done things differently. he talked about the fact that he had considered actually paying for george floyd's cigarettes he was buying himself, basically, if somebody uses a counterfeit note, it gets taken out of their wages. christopher martin thought, should i pay for his stuff anyway, he did not seem like he meant any harm. he stood on the witness stand saying, i think about it, if i had not reported it, if i had not done what i had done, with things have been different? really, quite difficult to see. 0bviously charles mcmillan as well, he broke down on the stand, he had tried to plead with mr floyd, asking him to comply with officers, but also had become quite angry and frustrated with the officers themselves and really had taken derek chauvin to task. we see him re— watching that video on the stand and it was too much for him. �* ., ., ~' for him. and looking at the footage of— for him. and looking at the footage of george - for him. and looking at the footage of george floyd i footage of george floyd in the shop, this place into the defence case that it wasn't eric sure than who killed him, he would have died anyway, deems to be deputy. that he had taken drugs before and allegedly swallowed them deliberately to conceal them from police. painting someone who is in difficulty from drugs and underlying health issues? well, this is the interesting thing, mike. it was the prosecution that entered this video. this was the prosecution that brought up this video. i think they did it because they wanted to show that, look, george floyd may have had something in his system, but he wasn't a threat to anybody. you see him going into the store, he is maybe not entirely sober, perhaps, but he is not a threat and he is fairly affable. he was moving from side to side but nobody around him seems to change position or change what they are doing any kind of way. i think this is the prosecution laying out the fact that whatever you say about what he was taking or not taking, the force that was used by the officers was not reasonable. lebo, thank you very much indeed for that. the new director—general of the world trade organization has urged pharmaceutical companies to manufacture enough covid vaccine for everyone in the world, or voluntarily hand over the technology behind their medicines to developing countries. dr ngozi 0konjo—iweala, has been speaking to the bbc�*s faisal islam. you can't have a situation in which, you know, ten countries have administered 70% of vaccine doses in the world, and there are countries that have not seen one single dose. so i think that the kind of vaccine in equity we are seeing is definitely not acceptable. that is what happened with hiv/aids, where we had to wait ten years to get access to life—saving drugs. it happened with hini vaccines, where rich countries brought up the vaccines and poor countries had none. so, you can understand why 100 members today are seeing the need the waiver. it members today are seeing the need the waiver.— need the waiver. it has been clear in your _ need the waiver. it has been clear in your organisations, | clear in your organisations, the wealthier countries that have the vaccines and have the vaccine know—how do not want to share it. vaccine know-how do not want to share it. , ., , ., ., share it. they want us to do better on — share it. they want us to do better on export _ share it. they want us to do i better on export prohibitions. we want them to do better on vaccine manufacturing and transfer of know—how. so, the world is experiencing this supply scarcity everywhere now because there wasn't adequate investment in that. so i think that everyone is beginning to see that having people vaccinated in one country, and leaving others out, it will not necessarily solve the problem. you talked of a third way. is there a possible model here, what has happened with the astrazeneca vaccine, developed in the united kingdom, where you have seen the licensing with developing country india and they are making hundreds of millions of doses at cost price? is that the sort of initiative you think could serve as a model for the rest of the world?— of the world? increasing production, _ of the world? increasing production, precisely . of the world? increasing production, precisely in| of the world? increasing i production, precisely in the way you said, the serum institute has this transfer of knowledge from astrazeneca, is able to produce up to 1 billion doses. it is the largest manufacturing capacity in the world. so, if we had more of that, that kind of voluntary license transfer faster, we could see many more people. let's have the same kind of arrangement that astrazeneca has with the there institute. novavax and the others should follow suit. —— serum institut. why don't we hand over patents to the world can copy them? in normal times we would say yes, this is essential and people want to have value on their investment. in times of the pandemic, we have to modify this somewhat to give greater access. eitherwe this somewhat to give greater access. either we manufacture in volumes that will serve everybody, or we have a situation in which you are willing to transfer the know—how. if they give it on a voluntary basis, this would not arise. so, how do we encourage more of that, now that people are dying? and then we can have are dying? and then we can have a agreement for dealing with outbreaks in the future. the director-general _ outbreaks in the future. the director-general of - outbreaks in the future. the director—general of the world trade organization, doctor ngozi 0konjo—iweala, speaking to faisal islam there. president biden has unveiled an infrastructure investment plan on a scale not seen in the united states in decades. the $2 trillion package aims to modernise roads, repair bridges and promote climate initiatives, in the process, creating millions ofjobs. it's expected to be financed by a tax increase on corporations. the plan is likely to face a fight in congress, where republicans have voiced opposition. what i'm proposing is a one—time capital investment of roughly $2 trillion in america's future, spread largely over eight years. it will generate historicjob growth, historic economic growth, help businesses to compete internationally and create more revenue, as well. they're among the highest value investments we can make in the nation, investing in our infrastructure. but put it another way — failing to make these investments adds to our debt and effectively puts our children at a disadvantage, relative to our competitors. that's what crumbling infrastructure does. the president there, of course. 0ur senior north america reporter, anthony zurcher, says the president's spending will divide republicans. about half of it is roads and bridges, and rail and airports. the other half are other priorities like clean energy, green energy, investing in internet infrastructure, schools, manufacturing hubs, and spending money on elderly care. so that was some of the areas that republicans at least are goingto have objections to — they say some of these priorities are just democrats putting in, say, pro—union measures as well as spending on infrastructure. and then, of course, as you mentioned, it's the paying for this that'll be the real challenge — and joe biden�*s proposing a pretty drastic increase in the corporate tax after donald trump cut it. and you could already see republicans being vehemently opposed to that kind of a tax increase to pay for it. stay with us on bbc news, if you can. still to come: a republican congressman is investigated for allegedly breaking sex trafficking laws with a 17—year—old girl the accident that happened here was of the sort that can, at worst, produce a meltdown. in this case, the precautions worked, but they didn't work quite well enough to

weeks as cases double since february to nearly 40,000 a day. in the george floyd murder trial in the us, the court is shown new footage of mr floyd just before his death. matt gaetz, the republican congressman and long—time supporter of former president donald trump, is being investigated by the us justice department over allegations he had a sexual relationship with a 17—year—old girl. congressman gaetz is accused of paying the teenager to travel with him. it is illegal in america, under the federal sex trafficking laws, to induce someone under the age of consent to travel over state lines for sex in exchange for money. congressman gaetz denies the claim. he told the politcal website axios: "the allegations of sexual misconduct against me are false. they are rooted in an extortion effort against my family for $25 million, in exchange for making this case go away." we can now speak to us political commentator max kutner who joins us from new york. 0bviously obviously this is contentious and we have to be careful. what do ou and we have to be careful. what do you make — and we have to be careful. what do you make of _ and we have to be careful. what do you make of

he was the heavenly against that. he supported president trump publicly now we see where that gamble is gotten him. if you asked me, he never really made us the supporter of president trump stage. the only pictures of him and donald trump are of selfies they took. this was not someone president trump was really confiding in as the republicans will be making the calculation, is this person a big enough fish to take the political risk of supporting him? this could be another example of the deep stage justice department colluding with the main state media argument and that could be a smart way for republicans to talk about this because that is what they have been talking about for years but again they are going to have to be making the political calculation, is matt gaetz a big enough person to support or they may not want to support or they may not want to go anywhere near these allegations.— to go anywhere near these alleuations. , , ., ., , ., allegations. his standardbearer for

outlets are continuing to run stories attacking john for his coverage of xinjiang and the origins of the coronavirus. we have been facing this kind of pressure because of our coverage of subjects and stories that china doesn't want us to cover, at least not in the independent way that we have. but in recent months, there's been an intensifying propaganda campaign targeting notjust the bbc, but me personally and my work in particular. there have been legal threats and, as well as that, an intensifying attempt to obstruct and harass us whenever and wherever we film. and as a result of these rising risks and increasing difficulties, the decision was made that, after tolerating it for so long, we should relocate. the chinese foreign ministry has given its response, saying the authorities had not been given prior notice ofjohn�*s departure. translation: we were just in the process of renewing i sudworth's press card when we learned that sudworth had left without saying goodbye. once he had left the country, he made no attempt to inform the relevant departments, nor provide a reason for why he left. the bbc has issued a statement onjohn�*s relocation from beijing to taiwan: the queen

there being more cloud around across southern britain on wednesday, we still manage to make highs of 2a celsius in the sunny spells across the far south—east. for today, though, it is cooler and fresher for most areas, that is away from the south—west and south wales. here we have the warmth just holding on for one more day, but this area of high pressure with its chillier air starts to topple in from the north—west. that breeze will be noticeable across the north sea coast, feeding in quite a bit of cloud here. elsewhere, though, we should see the clouds breaking up to allow for plenty of sunshine. probably the best of the sunshine, we change the wind direction, though, that north—easterly, like i mentioned, cool down the east coast. it will be a different feeling wind from the warm southerlies which we've had over the last few days. so temperatures struggling to get above 7—9 celsius across the north sea coast. 16—20 celsius, though, in the south—west — that's where we will have the last of the warmth. but that warmth ebbs away through thursday night, and into friday morning. the cold air is with most of us, and we will actually see some frost, particularly for the far north of england and in toward scotland. low single digits for the rest of england and wales. 0ur area of high pressure though really builds in, for friday. so there will be a lot of dry and settled weather, but it is chillier air blowing down on a north or north—easterly wind, and again, that north—easterly wind will feed in more cloud to northern and eastern parts of the uk. so it's staying rather chilly and grey here. with more shelter to the south and the west, this is where we will see the best of the sunshine. so, temperatures into the afternoon could reach 12 or 13 celsius, 9 or 10 celsius closer to the east. these temperatures actually closer to the seasonal average. through friday night, though, it's going to be a colder one for most with the widespread frost, particularly central, northern and western areas. now, as we move into the easter weekend, although high pressure will bring a lot of dry and settled weather, it will feel cold, and then as we head on into easter monday, we will see a real arctic blast which will bring some wintry showers to our shores as well. so our area of high pressure dominates for saturday and sunday, then allows this low—pressure to sweep down from the north through sunday into easter monday. and that will open the floodgates, a much colder blast of air than what we will have for the start of the weekend. and like i mentioned, that will be feeding in some snow showers, but temperatures will still reach the low teens celsius with the sunshine on saturday and sunday. this is bbc news. the headlines for you: french president emmanuel macron has announced a new four—week national lockdown from saturday. he said all but essential shops would close and home working should again become the norm. checks will
