Pope francis leads Easter Sunday mass. The archbishop of canterbury will lead a service from Canterbury Cathedral. Hello and welcome if youre watching in the uk or Around The World and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. Trials ahead of so called � covid passports� will get underway in england later this month, as the government looks to restart Mass Gatherings and indoor events safely. The passes would show whether a person has been vaccinated, has had a recent Negative Test, or has a Natural Immunity with a positive test in the last six months. The first pilot event will be a comedy night in liverpool later this month where Audience Members will be tested for covid before and after the show. The pilots will last until mid may and include the Fa Cup Semi Final and final, the World Snooker championship in sheffield, and several events in liverpool including an evening at a nightclub. Downing street also confirmed countries will be in a risk based Traffic Light System when foreign holidays resume. The Prime Minister is expected to lay out more details tomorrow. Our Political Correspondent, nick eardley, has this report. This feels like a long time ago. It has been more than one year since we saw packed Football Grounds in the uk. But the government is testing ways to get fans back in stadiums and certificates showing your covid status could the answer. The government has confirmed it is developing a system to allow people in england to return to mass events. You would be asked to prove you have had either a vaccine, a recent Negative Test, or Natural Immunity from having had the virus within the last six months. The plan will be tested later this month at the World Snooker championships. The crucible, a pilot for what could become a much wider scheme. A nightclub and an outdoor cinema in liverpool will be used for test sites as well. When pubs and restaurants reopen in england later this month you will not need to prove your covid status, but Downing Street has not ruled out that happening later in the year. Perhaps to reduce the need for social distancing. But the government does not want covid certificates for Public Transport or supermarkets and other essential shops. Some devolved governments are sceptical about the plan. The Prime Minister said that. There will be an update on foreign travel tomorrow, as well, but do not expect to book a holidayjust yet. Ministers are planning a Traffic Light System for england. Green means you do not need to quarantine on return. Amber means you do, at home. Red means to quarantine in a hotel. But the government does not know which countries will be in which category. Some devolved governments want a strict system but it will be the middle of next month at the earliest before foreign holidays start again. Nick eardley, bbc news. Earlier, i spoke to our Political Correspondent Jessica Parker about the new Traffic Light System for International Travel but started by asking her about the Covid Passport Scheme in england. There had been quite a lot of focus on this idea you might have to present some sort of proof of your covid status to go into pubs and that seemed in particular to attract opposition, not least of all from some conservative backbenchers, it almost became this kind of focus where you really have to prove your status to go and get a point in the pub and its notable its not part of these plans although as nick reported, they arent ruling it out later down the line. I suspect ministers will hope by leaving out hospitality venues and places like pubs, that might allay some concern expressed by some conservative mps but the announcement has been made overnight, we will have to see what the reaction is overnight and we will get more details tomorrow. More details on the trials of these covid passports. Theyve listed a number of venues and events that will be trialled. My understanding is these trials will be mixed in terms of what they do, some will look at social distancing, some at ventilation, Testing On Arrival as well. In terms of the actual Certification Scheme which we are told will include potentially an app but also a Paper Alternative for those who do not have smartphones, those sorts of trials will take place later, more in may, we will know definitely, the fa cup final at Wembley Stadium on the 15th of may, that will look at Covid Status Certification and ministers will weigh up how this has worked out and presumably make an announcement on how and when this might work in future months. We are expecting more details on the so called Traffic Light System on travel from may the 17th. We might get more on that tomorrow . Its interesting. Theres been this sort of two parallel discussions going on, one of them about domestic so called Vaccine Passports or Covid Certification and International Travel Vaccine Passports, and the latter has been seen as almost slightly inevitable recently because certain countries might say if you want to come here on holiday we want to see proof and ministers will say that will be something that becomes inevitable. Of course we did used to hear from ministers that Vaccine Passports in a domestic setting, they used to say that would not happen so theyve been on a journey on that and michael gove, the senior cabinet minister has written in the telegraph this morning laying out some of the arguments as to why they are looking at it now and i suspect they are trying to help people take the same journey they have taken in terms of reasoning this but more details tomorrow in terms of the Traffic Light System for International Travel but as nick said, i dont think theyll be encouraging people to book holidays right away. Im joined by professor adam finn, a member of the governments joint committee on vaccination and immunisation. We have interrupted your bike ride through the english countryside, i think you are in somerset. Beautiful sunny day there, blue sky . Absolutely lovely. Warming up lovely, it was a little chilly earlier on but its great now. Who earlier on but its great now. Who needs to go earlier on but its great now. Who needs to go abroad . But speaking about, what do you think of this idea of a Traffic Light System for people to go to other countries . Do you think thats a safe way forward . Well, i think its becoming clearer now that the vaccines that we are using dontjust stop you from getting sick with covid but do substantially reduce the risk of getting the infection and passing it on to other people. We are still in the process of figuring outjust how good they are doing that and of course, looking at how they will work against the different variants of the virus. But it does mean vaccination in a sense, becomes more thanjust a matter of vaccination in a sense, becomes more than just a matter of personal protection but is relevant to other people as well. So you can see how this will kind of started to fit into the whole Traveljigsaw Puzzle that people are trying to put together and i heard your correspondence saying earlier its been seen as kind of inevitable and i tend to agree that we are inevitably going to see people will want some kind of authentication that youve received a vaccine if you are going to travel in the future. In you are going to travel in the future. ,. ,. ,. , future. In terms of domestic are auoin to future. In terms of domestic are going to big future. In terms of domestic are going to big events, future. In terms of domestic are going to big events, that future. In terms of domestic are going to big events, that is future. In terms of domestic are | going to big events, that is being trialled now, things like sporting events, with a covid passport. Showing that you had a vaccine, or that you had a Negative Test or you had a positive test for covid so you have immunity. Does all of that make sense as well, domestically . Some people had concerns about privacy, also about are you discriminating against people dont want to have the vaccine or cant have it . Well, i aaree the vaccine or cant have it . Well, i agree mystically the vaccine or cant have it . Well, i agree mystically you the vaccine or cant have it . Well, i agree mystically you start the vaccine or cant have it . Well, i agree mystically you start to i agree mystically you start to raise issues about civil liberties, really. It becomes an increasingly political issue. So its more difficult to really understand how that will work and i think there are also some quite tricky logistic issues getting that information and then actually making it work because if everything come alive could become a permanent Queueing Process if you have to prove you are immune in some way to do all of these things that we normally do at the time. So i can see there are challenges but i also see why being explored. I think much more tricky, to be honest, than the international question.

The decision, all these people now immunised with theirfirst dose. The decision, a policy decision, was to delete the second dose to 12 weeks at that time has now come and we need to honour those second doses to get that long term protection through until next winter. I think its absolutely right that becomes the priority, the next phase, as we complete the first phase and get all of those people in groups one through to nine their first doses, all of those that want it and a very large proportion of people have showed up for their first doses but second doses are the priority now in this month of april, i think. ,. , ~. ,. , i think.

I think the makers jansen, showed a lot of foresight because they saw that one dose would be an important thing in the heat of the pandemic but also thought that two doses might be neededin thought that two doses might be needed in the longer term so theyve covered both basis so that one dose option may well be useful particularly for younger people who may have slightly less incentive, if you like, to get immunised than us old folks who are much more in fear of this virus, i guess.

The idea of having a Traffic Light System or a tiered system to open up travel is something that abta and the Wider Travel Industry has really been calling for. We are really keen to avoid the situation that we had last summer where destinations quickly moved from the on to the off list and that created problems for Travel Businesses but also passengers. I suppose one difficulty might be you book to go somewhere, you go and it changes may become upper and potentially green to amber or amber to red . While you are away. While you are there . You are there . This is one of the roblem you are there . This is one of the problem is you are there . This is one of the problem is that you are there .

This is one of the problem is that we had last year| you are there . This is one of the problem is that we had last year and we really need to know more from government about how they see the phased option is happening with the tiered system and what we have said the government as part of our engagement with the Global Travel taskforce as people need time and we have got more information about how the pandemic and have the virus spreads and how the variance are emerging and hopefully its a possibility to be able to identify the Early Warning signs and put in place mitigation before having to jump place mitigation before having to jump to those extreme situations such as quarantine hotels. What i would say, the government must make sure it gets this Traffic Light System right and has the most appropriate measures for the right risk levels. We are really keen to see the government capitalise on how well the uk has done with its Vaccination Programme and hope those people who have been vaccinated are able to travel without the need to test and quarantine as well and we also want to see testing is really used as much as possible, particularly for those people who are yet to be vaccinated, for one reason or another, and to try and reduce quarantine and the use of quarantine to the absolute minimum, and only for those high risk destinations.

And that means that there is a change in your destination which means you can no longer travel there for one reason or another, longer travel there for one reason oranother, because longer travel there for one reason or another, because of something thatis or another, because of something that is happening in the country, you will have the option to be offered an alternative holiday so you might have a week booked to go to one place in your Travel Company will be able to say, we can offer you this instead or you have the option for a full refund as well. Lots of travel companies at the moment are offering additional flexibility so the option to reboot numerous times without paying any financial penalty.

Prince hamzah who was removed as crown prince in 2004 has accused jordans leaders of incompetence, corruption and harassment. Thejordanian military denies hes been detained, but says he was told to stop any action that could undermine the countrys security and stability. Prince hamzah has denied any wrongdoing in a video passed to the bbc via his lawyer. Heres some of what he had to say i had a visit from the Chief Of The General Staff of thejordanian armed forces this morning, in which he informed me that i was not allowed to go out, to communicate with people or to meet with them. Because in the meetings i had been present in, or on social media relating to visits i have made, there has been criticism of the government or the king. I asked him if i was the one criticising, he said no. He said this was a warning from him, from the chief of police, and from the chief of the security services, the mukhabarat, that i should not leave my house, that i could only visit family, that i could not tweet, and that i could not communicate with people.

King hussein obviously very close ally and his son King Abdullah who is now been in charge for more than 20 years, have sold themselves and sold jordan as this country that essentially is able to navigate over those very choppy waters unlike other countries in the region. And therefore, is a useful ally and a useful mediator in all the problems that are in the region. The main one, jordan, has been involved in down the years, has been with israel and the palestinians. Things are changing in The Middle East and that may have some effect on whats going on injordan. The whole way that the equation with israel and the rest of The Middle East has been set up for many years, has begun to change, the countries in the gulf, the countries that have now done their piece deals, essentially, with israel, has shifted the balance sojordan no longer has such a central role to that. And we have seen pressures in jordan is in the rest of the world, with covid, really pushing on the economic diet situation thatjordan has long been in, i mean, jordan has an economy, doesnt really function, it manages because of the aid it gets, the help it gets from outside. That is why the stability is so important, both for the countries that help and forjordan itself because if it looks like it is no longer stable, the aid and help may begin to fade.

A second night of violence in Northern Ireland. Vehicles are hijacked and set on fire in a loyalist area of belfast. Police in Northern Ireland have appealed for calm after a second night of violence in belfast. Petrol bombs, bricks and bottles were thrown at police injuring 15 officers. Eight people including boys aged 13 and 14 were arrested. Earlier, i spoke to our ireland correspondentjohn campbell, who gave us the background to whats been taking place. Tension has been simmering in loyalist communities for some weeks now. They are unhappy at the Northern Ireland brexit deal because that creates a new trade border with the rest of the uk which they say undermines their place in the United Kingdom which is at the core of their politics and identity. Then there was a Second Development last week when Northern Ireland � s Public Prosecution service decided not to pursue criminal charges against some senior Sinn Fein Members who went to a large funeral in apparent breach of coronavirus legislation. The Public Prosecution service said they had no reasonable prospect of securing convictions. That led to outrage amongst unionist politicians and it now appears that some of that average has spilled out onto the streets. 0n average has spilled out onto the streets. On friday night, the trouble you reference their work there was all those arrests particularly of young people, that is something which started out as a protest, it then turned violent. Seven people have now been charged with riot in connection with that incident, four of them adults, three juveniles, the youngest of them a boy aged just 13. Then what we had was something where there was no pretense of protest, this was initially an incident which started off with masked Men Hijacking Cars in newtownabbey in the northern suburbs up belfast. Those cars were set on fire, that drew police into the area, Police Vehicles were then attacked with bricks, bottles, fireworks, some bins were set on fire. The Police Though were able to contain that and really the incident petered out within a couple of hours. But there is i think widespread concern among politicians and also Senior Police officers that this could spiral into something more serious. And senior politicians have called for calm. Arlene foster, the leader of the dup and the first minister of Northern Ireland says yes, some people may be frustrated with the events of the last week but attacking and injuring Police Officers is not going to improve that situation. In myanmar, some protesters have painted and decorated easter eggs with Anti Government slogans. Some eggs have been handed out but some posts were made anonymously, while avoiding police brutality. Street protests against a Military Coup have continued in several towns and cities. It Civil Society Group Monitoring civilian deaths assess 557 people have been killed by the authorities since february the 1st. The coup that happened then. Choirs will perfom in churches in england for the first time in months this easter after being silenced by the pandemic. The archbishop of canterbury will lead a service from Canterbury Cathedral this morning and pope francis will give his easter blessing from the vatican but both will look a little different as our religion reporter harry farley explains. For most of the past year, the choir at Chingford Parish Church was silenced. In places of worship around the country, singing has been restricted. Now, for the first time in many months, the choir has returned. Singing. The last time we sang must have been in september, october time, so quite a few months. It feels really good. I think itjust doesnt have the same essence when youre singing to a backing track. I think a lot of what being a choir is about is the community, its being able to know that youre singing with someone in that moment, its the connections you make, its hearing the harmonies that surround you, and notjust coming at you from a screen and a headset. Like many other places of worship, Chingford Parish Church moved its services and its choir online in the past year. Even as people return in limited numbers, the hybrid of in person and On Line Worship will continue. But there are fears about the toll the pandemic has taken. I dont think theres going to be any problem here but i do feel that in churches where the congregations are more elderly, its going to be far more difficult the elderly people, perhaps they will have gotten used to sitting at home, watching worship on the television or even online if they are able to do that sort of thing. Perhaps theyre going to think well, dark, cold night, morning, whatever in winter, do i really want to go to church . I hope not, but it could happen. Later today at the vatican, st Peters Square will be eerily quiet. Pope francis will deliver his message from inside the basilica. Instead of thousands, only only a handful will be allowed to attend. The archbishop of canterbury will host a service from Canterbury Cathedral, encouraging people to be disciples of hope. Back in chingford, joy abounds at being able to sing again. Its a very exhilarating and really quite Spine Tingling when we get to a climax of something and its really uplifting, and i know that it has that effect on the congregations here as well. And a sign of hope at easter. Certainly, easter of all times, a sign of new life. Most places of worship voluntarily closed in the latest lockdown. Many smaller churches suffered from reduced numbers and fewer donations. But this easter as choirs return to churches like this, a moment of hope and a glimpse of normality.

Hello. 0ur Easter Sunday weather is looking pretty good for much of the country, thanks to high pressure. We start to see changes across the north, a reversal of fortunes for scotland and Northern Ireland, this Weather Front sinking south bringing wet and windy weather later in the day. The higher pressure, holding on across more southern areas. Here we have lighter winds. After a great start for east anglia and the south east, parts of north west england, skies will be sunny, certainly through this afternoon and it will be warmer with the light winds but more cloud and for scotland and Northern Ireland, some sunshine here and there for Northern Ireland, southern and eastern scotland, turning wet and windy across northern scotland, Temperature Tier nine to 12 degrees, 13 to maybe 15 or 16 across the east or south east of england. This cold front in the right bringing wet and windy weather slipping southward through country during tonight, that will introduce much colder arctic air right across the board, strong wind as well. That will feed in sleet and snow showers. Huge change to the weather into Easter Monday. Going to feel more like midwinter, great start, rain across the south, that front clearing away, bright with some sunshine, we will see hail, sleet and snow showers pretty much anywhere but especially around the coasts and especially northern scotland, driven in on a very strong and gusty northerly wind stop significant accumulations of snow across the northern highlands. Temperatures on the thermometer three to 8 degrees, factoring in the strong northerly wind, going to feel more in sub zero, especially across Northern Areas and low Single Digits further south. You really will have to wrap up if you are heading out. Through Easter Monday night at stacey showery, further snow showers in the north, and accumulations of snow, clear spells as well so its going to be a cold and frosty night with the risk of eye is places where we have showers. Gardeners and growers take note, this is a very low temperature for the time of year. As we had three tuesday and wednesday you see the blue colours with us, staying cold, something less cold moves from the west towards the end of the week but low pressure arrives across the north of the uk so that could bring a little bit of rain by the end of the week to Northern Areas but for most of us, try, settle, sunny spells and cold with overnight frosts.
