Join zeinab badawi. Join zeinab badawi. Good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. The Prime Minister will confirm this afternoon whether the next stage of the governments road map can go ahead next week as planned. If given the green light, hairdressers, gyms, Outdoor Hospitality and Nonessential Shops will be allowed to reopen in england from monday 12th. In england from monday 12th april. Borisjohson is meeting with the cabinet, who are expected to approve this next stage in easing the lockdown. Later, the Prime Minister will hold a News Conference at Downing Street, where hes also due to unveil a Traffic Light System for foreign trips, which would allow people to go to green countries without having to quarantine upon their return. Meanwhile, from friday, everyone in england will be able to access two rapid covid tests each week. The health secretary, matt hancock, says regular testing is vital to help the country get back to normal. Heres our Political Correspondent, helen catt. And well get more on that later this afternoon with that Press Conference where you will be able to join Jane Conference where you will be able to Joinjane Hill on the bbc news channel. But heres our Political Correspondent, helen catt. So youll feel a slight pressure. Secondary School Children are already used to being regularly tested for coronavirus. From friday the government wants everyone in england to do the same. It will offer two free Lateral Flow Tests every week to everyone. They could be through work, at Community Testing centres, from pharmacies, are sent directly to your home. From pharmacies, or sent directly to your home. The regular testing is designed to pick up people who have the virus but dont have symptoms. Alongside the vaccine roll out, its part of the governments strategy to open up again. Its one of the key elements that will help us keep track of this disease. People self isolate when they have a positive test so we keep that disease under control, and it allows us to get on with opening up, in a safe way, our economy and our country again. For now, unlocking england looks on track. Its expected the Prime Minister will confirm later that shops, hairdressers and gyms can reopen next monday as hoped. Pubs and restaurants will again be able to serve customers outdoors. He is also expected to outline some of whats being looked at in the longer term, such as the controversial possibility of covid Status Certificates vaccine passports. Under the plans, you would have to prove that you had been vaccinated or recently had a negative test, or actually had coronavirus in the last six months and so have some immunity. For now, these covid passports would be used for big Sports Events or music festivals. They wont be needed for Public Transport or shops, or in pubs to start with, although its not been ruled out out down the line. I have reservations, the labour party have got reservations, around the introduction of vaccine passports. We have an amazing take up of the vaccine, its being rolled out incredibly successfully by the nhs. Its not totally clear to me that we need a sledgehammer to crack a nut here. A0 conservative mps have already said they are opposed to the certificates, so there is likely to be a political row to play out yet. For now, though, The Next Step on the road map looks to be on course. Helen catt, bbc news. Im joined now by our Health Correspondent laura foster. Laura, how important it is today in terms of signalling our progress . If you think back to a few months ago when we were probably having this conversation and talking about going into a full lockdown again and here we are three, three and a half months later, and you dont want to get too excited but it is really a step in the right direction, isnt it, when you talk about taking a step back to what we call normal life, but life as it was before . So with the very slow, gradual release from lockdown we are seeing in 2021 the government and the scientists are really taking their time to lift some restrictions, see how it goes, look at the data. Has it changed many things . Thats before we go onto The Next Step. Like my kind of Lesson Learned from the previous lockdowns, where the government itself has said lockdowns, where the government itself has said we lockdowns, where the government itself has said we perhaps lockdowns, where the government itself has said we perhaps came i lockdowns, where the government| itself has said we perhaps came out too soon and things like that, because you have to allow the science at least two weeks to see the impact of the measures on Infection Rate and things like that . Yes, because of the time it takes for people to meet up, spread a virus, and you might have the virus four or five days and not realise it, it could take up to 1a days to show any symptoms, so better to leave this five weeks, the period they are going for in terms of taking stock of the situation and what do we move to next . The key thing, i know there are a lot of exciting things talking about shops, pubs, outdoors and so on. This is only step two of four. So whatever is announced that is being lifted from monday, monday was always to delete my early state they would give for these restrictions lifting, there are still many more steps to go before we can breathe a sigh of relief. Monday was always the earliest date they would give. This is a myriad of data from all parts of the country and there is a set of criteria, little checklist, the government has to go through, looking at the data and saying, 0k, is the Vaccination Programme still going well . We know from various reports that it is. More than half the Adult Population in the uk have had theirfirstjab, and 5 million have had their second, many people, so that is looking good. But it is also is there evidence the number of vaccines are reducing the number of deaths and hospitalisations . Yes, we are seeing that, good news, and we are seeing that, good news, and we are also seeing the number of people admitted to hospital with covid and dying with covid has been going down. But it is also about whether there is room in the nhs if people get ill, so that is why they are looking at Infection Rates. Is there room if things go up to have the capacity. 50 room if things go up to have the capacity room if things go up to have the caaci , capacity. So we can cope if there is a spike. Capacity. So we can cope if there is a spike. Even capacity. So we can cope if there is a spike, even if capacity. So we can cope if there is a spike, even if a capacity. So we can cope if there is a spike, even if a temporary is a spike, even if a temporary spike, that we have the ability to deal with it. Spike, that we have the ability to dealwith it. Deal with it. Yes, it is about auttin deal with it. Yes, it is about putting the deal with it. Yes, it is about putting the nhs deal with it. Yes, it is about putting the nhs at deal with it. Yes, it is about putting the nhs at risk. Deal with it. Yes, it is about putting the nhs at risk. Then| deal with it. Yes, it is about i putting the nhs at risk. Then it deal with it. Yes, it is about putting the nhs at risk. Then it is about the travel restrictions, the new variants. The most dominant version in the uk at the moment is the kent variant, known Around The World as the uk variant, but there are big fears about, say, the South African variant. It are big fears about, say, the South African variant. African variant. It has caused such concerns in african variant. It has caused such concerns in portugal, african variant. It has caused such concerns in portugal, hasnt african variant. It has caused such concerns in portugal, hasnt it, i african variant. It has caused such concerns in portugal, hasnt it, to | concerns in portugal, hasnt it, to such extent that until now portugal has virtually been cut off from the rest of europe . Rest of europe . Yes, various countries rest of europe . Yes, various countries on rest of europe . Yes, various countries on the rest of europe . Yes, various countries on the red rest of europe . Yes, various countries on the red list, rest of europe . Yes, various| countries on the red list, and rest of europe . Yes, various countries on the red list, and there is this Traffic Light System which my colleagues will tell you more about, but the fear is if you get a variant that is too different from the existing one that it might jeopardise the Vaccination Programme, might stop vaccines from working, and if the vaccines are not working, and if the vaccines are not working and this fiat is spreading more easily that will put pressure on the nhs. It is all of those things factored in together, looking at weaks worth of evidence, trying to make sense of it and go, right, 0k, to make sense of it and go, right, ok, this is what we will lift and how we will lift it. So ok, this is what we will lift and how we will lift it. How we will lift it. So hopefully will aet how we will lift it. So hopefully will get confirmation, how we will lift it. So hopefully will get confirmation, but how we will lift it. So hopefully will get confirmation, but we i how we will lift it. So hopefully will get confirmation, but we dont know obviously, we expect the Prime Minister to speak sometime after half past four this afternoon, and if you are watching now stay with us because we will have coverage of that, joining viewers on bbc one for a conference about the News Conference and the reaction that a programme about the conference and reaction to it. Those. You mention four stages. What are the other two . They are all five weeks apart. That is the 17th of may. Then there is. That is stage three, then on the zist that is stage three, then on the 21st ofjune is the one everyone has the red pen out in the diary, that is when all the restrictions are lifted completely. But again the government has never gone so far as to say, you know, no more social distancing, no more masks come in a hand washing. All of these dates are at the earliest, so a lot of wiggle room. �. ,. , , room. And the obviously need wiggle room. And the obviously need wiggle room depending room. And the obviously need wiggle room depending on room. And the obviously need wiggle room depending on what room. And the obviously need wiggle room depending on what happens room. And the obviously need wiggle i room depending on what happens when they left the measures next week. Presumably there is some expectation there will be a rise in infection because people will suddenly be having contact they werent having before. It is a question of how manageable that rises. You might guess, any restrictions lifted will lift the r guess, any restrictions lifted will lift the ,. , lift the r number which we have heard a lot lift the r number which we have heard a lot about lift the r number which we have heard a lot about over lift the r number which we have heard a lot about over the lift the r number which we have heard a lot about over the last l lift the r number which we have i heard a lot about over the last your yes, any restrictions lifted.

Even though you cant necessarily say schools will do this much because there are so many variants, we are testing people more, we have the Lateral Flow Tests, which kids and theirfamilies are already using in secondaries. Now the government saying you will be able to get these, have opted to match a week for free from this friday, so you can test yourself at home. ,. , friday, so you can test yourself at home. ,. , friday, so you can test yourself at home. ,. ,. ,. , home.

Getting people back out and about, if the weather is cold there, maybe they wont go out as much, maybe they will be naughty and socialise indoors, so there are so many variables at play which is by the scientists are saying we really need to take time to see the full impact of every restriction we left so we can be sure we are not getting ahead of ourselves. In a can be sure we are not getting ahead of ourselves of ourselves. In a sense we are caettin of ourselves. In a sense we are getting ahead of ourselves. In a sense we are getting ahead of of ourselves. In a sense we are getting ahead of ourselves i of ourselves. In a sense we are i getting ahead of ourselves because we wont know for certain until borisjohnson speaks this afternoon, but thank you so much, laura, for giving some idea of what we should be looking out for. Laura foster, our Health Correspondent. A reminder that the Prime Ministers Health Conference will be later this afternoon and we will bring coverage from that. So today the Prime Minister will also give details of a Traffic Light System for restarting International Travel. 0ur transport correspondent, caroline davies, looks at how it could work. The earliest date for that remains the 17th of may. From the engine to the seats and every last screw, preparing for International Travel takes time. Ever since the Prime Minister mentioned the 17th of may as the first date when International Travel could start from england, many in the Travel Industry began gearing up ready for then. While work is underway here at Luton Airport and across the uk, scotland, wales and Northern Ireland are yet to commit to a date. The industry is crossing its fingers that International Travel will restart. The thing we need to hear is that travel is going to be back open. We are all trying to open, the uk, the economy and travel is an intrinsic part of that. All our teams are getting ready for restart. We believe and we hope that the 17th will be possible. We think with our amazing Vaccination Programme and the greater provision of testing, we think we should be able to get going. Today, the Prime Minister will announce that when International Travel does restart, therell be a Traffic Light System. Anyone from england will be able to travel from green countries without needing to quarantine, although they will still need a test before they travel and once more once they arrive in the uk. Those travelling from amber countries will need all of these tests and require people to quarantine at home on arrival for ten days, although if they pay for an extra test on the fifth day and its negative, they can leave quarantine early. Only uk residents will be allowed in from red countries, and theyll need to pay for quarantine at a hotel, as well as taking the tests. This is a new Testing Centre set up at Luton Airport. The Company Behind it is expanding its capacity at other airports too. Tests will still need to be paid for by the passenger and they can be expensive. What were hopeful for is we will start to see, as more countries get vaccinated, as that risk of infection reduces, that actually the number of tests that you have to take will change, and the type of test you have to take. Obviously, the pcr test is the more complicated, the more expensive test. The lateral flow can be at a much reduced cost. So our view is, hopefully, we can work with governments to enable it to be at a lower cost of testing. Exactly when International Travel will be allowed is still not confirmed. The 17th of may could get pushed back. The next big question is where we will be able to go. Some countries Around The World, like israel and the us, have a high vaccination rate, while others like france are lagging behind. Its likely that will be a big factor in deciding which countries we can travel to. And how will all this paperwork be processed . Even with small numbers of travellers, there have been long queues at the border. The hope is this will be streamlined or put on an app, in time. There are still a lot of questions about when International Travel will get moving again. Caroline davies, bbc news. Dont forget, as i mentioned, this afternoon the Prime Minister will lead todays Downing Street briefing. Hell be joined by englands chief medical officer chris whitty and the governments chief scientific advisor sir patrick vallance. Well have full coverage from 4. 30 on the bbc news channel and bbc one in england. Stay with us as we will bring that to you. Let me bring you some breaking news. Death of a Member Of Parliament, the mp for cheshire and buckinghamshire has died after a long illness, Dame Cheryl Gillan. The former Secretary Of State for wales and although she represented a Home Counties constituency for many years back into the 1990s she was actually Born In Cardiff and that was the reason David Cameron selected herfirst was the reason David Cameron selected her first eye shadow Home Secretary and then Dame Cheryl Gillan also sat in the cabinet for a number of years. She sat in the parliament as memberfor number of years. She sat in the parliament as member for Chesham And Amersham first in 1992, that Big Election Successjohn Major enjoyed after succeeding margaret thatcher, one of the new arrivals there is that she had also previously unsuccessfully contested the U Nsuccessfully contested the eu ropea n unsuccessfully contested the European Parliament seat in manchester. I think it is fair to say she was a live wire character. She was well liked and respected in the house of commons. She managed the house of commons. She managed the Difficult Balancing Act Of Being A Welsh Secretary without a welsh constituency, which had been quite controversial Whenjohn Redwood was doing it underjohn major but under David Cameron she did a similarjob, then she remained active serving on then she remained active serving on the back benches notably as an officer of the 1992 1922 committee that represents backbenchers. We have had some words from the Prime Minister about her death. He hasjust tweeted he was very sad to hear of her death. He said, she was a great servant to the people of Chesham And Amersham, to the Conservative Party and to the country and Secretary Of State for wales, he said. That is Member Of Parliament for Chesham And Amersham, and buckinghamshire, cheryl gillan, who has died at the end of a long illness at the age of 68. So what about those destinations desperate to welcome back Holiday Makers once again, covid permitting . Countries such as greece rely heavily on tourism but surging coronavirus cases in many parts of europe means the situation is still uncertain. Bethany bell reports from athens. The boats are in the dock, waiting for tourists. Eugene and his team rent out catamarans and yachts for trips to the greek islands. Their clients come from the uk, the United States and south africa. April is normally the start of the season, but things are on hold because of the pandemic. Greece is hoping to open up to visitors in may, but its not clear which countries will be ready. A lot of nations need to agree on specific problems in order to allow people to travel. This uncertainty does not help anyone. On our end, we are doing the best effort possible in order to be ready. And we will be ready when the borders open and we can welcome all guests throughout the world. There are still tough covid restrictions in greece, which has seen a surge of infections. But people are becoming increasingly frustrated. About one in five workers has a job in tourism. Theyre worried about the summer. The acropolis is open again after months of lockdown. This place would normally be packed with people, but now its mainly those living locally. And no one is quite sure when the Foreign Tourists will be able to return. Greece is planning to vaccinate all Tourism Workers and its leading calls for Vaccination Certificates or passports to allow foreign visitors to travel. Its very important to have the passport, because everybody will feel really safe. And our model is safety first for the staff of the archaeological sites and the museums, and of course for the public. After the worst year for Global Tourism on record, greece is really hoping for a better summer. Bethany bell, bbc news, athens. Well, some coronavirus measures have been eased in scotland today. It looks magical, doesnt it . Right, for some more magic now of the sporting variety. Heres gavin. Hello. Yes, ill see what magic i can deliver here. That was a very special vt, looks like a very nice place indeed right. The Spanish League has released a statement condemning racism in all shapes and forms after the incident in valencias game against cadiz. Mouctar diakhaby reacted furiously after allegedy hearing a racist comment from cadiz defenderjuan cala, who denies any wrongdoing. The entire valencia side left the pitch and Captainjose Gaya said they were told by the referee theyd be docked points if they didnt resume the match. Diakhaby was substituted but encouraged them to carry on and after 20 mintues they returned, before losing 2 1. La ligas statement said they took any allegation of racism seriously. What happened after that was more worrying than what happened acyually on the field. Because what happens with the institutions of football here, we dont have sufficient evidence right now, 0k, we will investigate, but go and play because you know what the rules are. The rules are very clear. If we dont play, we lose the game. If you abandon the game you lose another three points. I think through this episode what message needs to be very clear is that we need to change the protocols. To football now. Middlesbrough came from behind to snatch a point at the riverside against watford. And keeping their play off hopes alive. Watford had taken in the lead when philip zinckernagel� s shot was deflected beyond Marcus Bettinelli by ismaila sarr, but the home side equalised with just 13 minutes to go, Yannick Bolasie heading home from paddy mcnair� s cross. The result means that watford stay in second, while boro stay ninth, six points off the play off places. Nine more games in the championship today. Most are under way. The late game is Sheffield Wednesday against cardiff. Follow all the Football League games on the bbc sport website.

The scot knows he has a target on his back. People want to beat me. Iwill, you know, be a scalp for somebody. But, yeah, its going to be. Im going to try to approach it, find a way of approaching it, that doesnt put too much importance on it. Because you look atjimmy all these years, i think he is dying to play at the crucible again and i think it is affecting him in the qualifier. He is trying too hard, almost. I have to guard against that, i have to be prepared mentallyjust to go there and experience it. And in darts, the world Number One Gerwyn price has been ruled out of the Premier League after Testing Positive for covid 19.

Well be back in the next hour with more. Thank you, gavin. Hairdressers and Garden Centres in scotland can reopen from today in the latest easing of coronavirus restrictions. Salons and barbers can welcome back customers with appointments only although most Nonessential Shops will have to stay closed for at least three more weeks. Heres our scotland correspondent james shaw. A big day in scotland for barbers and hairstylists, and everyone who has been desperate to tame their lockdown locks. Hair salons say they are taking high levels of bookings but say theyre also having to deal with continuing health and safety restrictions which limit the amount of business they can do. Cuts are by appointment only and mobile services are still not allowed, bu tat least stylists are back in business. Such a relief, so happy to be back in the salon, just getting back into doing what we love most, and seeing all of our colleagues and regular clients coming back is just wonderful. And their customers could not be happier. Its fantastic. Ive been coming to this salon for about 12 years and i knowl it is a great place to come to, and it just feels like spring is here. It might seem like a small thing to some, but getting a haircut can definitely contribute to a feeling that the worst of the second wave of the Coronavirus Crisis may be over. I have to say it is an enormous relief for me to be able to get a haircut after three months at least of waiting for one, and for thousands of other people in scotland as well. But these are not the only freedoms we are going to start enjoying from today. Its been sunny across much of scotland, which has encouraged many people to head for their local garden centre. These changes are part of the Scottish Governments road map out of lockdown, which continues at the same time as preparations for elections in may. Over the course of the crisis, the Scottish Government has sometimes seemed more cautious than ministers in london, and that tone was evident in the latest guidance from the health secretary. The numbers are looking better and are staying in a kind of steady state of looking better, so thats good, but were not there yet. So what we have done and what opens up today im sure is very welcome by very many people indeed, but our progress needs to be tempered with a degree of caution, and that is of course exactly the approach we are taking here. So we will do what we have done today and then in three weeks time i hope we will be able to open up a bit more. This is nowhere near the end of the pandemic, but todays limited new freedoms may at least make people feel that the Winter Crisis is over and deliver a small measure of hope. James shaw, bbc news, glasgow. Lets return you to some breaking news we brought you a few minutes ago, the death of the conservative mp for Chesham And Amersham, cheryl gillan. 0ur Political Correspondent chris mason is with me.

The Prime Minister said he was saddened at cheryl gillans death, describing her as a great servant to the people of Chesham And Amersham. She has been in there since 1992, very solid conservative seat, won half of the votes in the constituency in the last election, majority of about 50,000. A conservative stalwart, and various select committees in her time, sat as Secretary Of State for wales. Rather less controversially than another conservative mp, john redwood, who did it in the mid 90s. A lot of a kerfuffle about him being from woking. But she was welsh born . From woking.

Now, india has recorded more than 100,000 coronavirus cases in one day the highest daily increase in the world as the country sees a surge in infections. In response, more restrictions are being introduced, particularly in maharashtra, which is home to the city of mumbai. Gail mcclellan has more. For more on why there has been such a severe surge in cases in the region, heres 0ur South Asia correspondent, Rajini Vaidyanathan. It was a hot spot last year as well, a very densely populated state, home to the city of mumbai, film and Financial Capital of india, and it accounts for half of the daily cases. India has breached the 100,000 mark in terms of daily case numbers, the first time it has done that, and more than half of those are in maharashtra, so huge cause for concern there and that is why they brought in some Lockdown Restrictions in maharashtra, so shops, markets, malls will be shut, and they will be an Evening Curfew and they will be an Evening Curfew and lockdown at weekends. There wont be a national lockdown. It is unlikely that will come in, even if cases rise as they are in other parts of the country as well, because of the Economic Impact it would have on people in india. What were seeing, as in maharashtra, case by case, state by state restrictions being brought in. That was raini restrictions being brought in. That was Rajini Vaidyanathan in india. The israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has appeared in Court Injerusalem for the resumption of his Corruption Trial. Hes accused of misusing his power in seeking to trade favours with media bosses. Mr netanyahu denies wrongdoing. The hearing comes as wrangling continues over who should be given the mandate to form the next Coalition Government. 0ur correspondent Injerusalem Yolande knell sent this report. It has been called israels split screen moment. At thisjerusalem court, Benjamin Netanyahu beginning his Corruption Trial in earnest. The prosecution accuses him of accepting expensive gifts from businessmen and offering favours for more positive news coverage. Charges he denies. Meanwhile, across the city at the president s office, talks start on who should be given the first chance to form a new Coalition Government after last months election, israels fourth in two years. He is known as the great survivor, but this is another day when Benjamin Netanyahus personal and politicalfate hangs in the balance. Simply put, israel is divided into two camps those for and against the Prime Minister. And youve got small groups of both here outside the court. Anti netanyahu protesters accuse mr netanyahu of putting his personal interests before those of the country. They want him to resign. He is doing everything that he can, and the last year has proved that he is doing everything that he can to escape justice, actually
