Our top story plans to reopen International Travel for Holiday Makers from england have been unveiled with a requirement to pay for coronavirus tests. The government has stopped short of saying if foreign trips can resume next month, but has outlined a so called Traffic Light System, which will be used to categorise countries based on risk. For places on the green list, travellers will be asked to take a test before they return to england, and pay for a costly pcr test two days after arriving home. If youre coming to england from countries on the amber list, you will also be asked to self isolate for ten days, with tests on days two and eight. And passengers from red list destinations will be required to spend ten days in a quarantine hotel. The plans have been met with widespread frustration by the Travel Industry. Heres our transport correspondent caroline davies. We may be dreaming of sunshine and summer getaways, but would you pay around an extra £100 per person when coming back from your trip overseas . The boss of easyjet isnt impressed at this part of the governments plan to reintroduce International Travel in england. I think its a blow to all travellers who were wishing to go and see friends and families and go on a holiday this summer, and i think particularly the concern why there are now two test systems in what they called the green category. Todays report says that passengers coming from the lowest risk green rated countries will still need to take one of the more expensive pcr tests when they arrive back in england, and pay for it themselves, currently around £100 each. Instead, the industry wants to use the quicker and cheaper lateral flow tests. The government says pcr testing will allow them to monitor positive cases and check for variants of concern. The report also says that if travel does go ahead, countries which will be on the green list will be announced in early may. There will be a watchlist for countries at risk of being changed to amber, and there will be a new Consumer Rights for ticket refunds. The industry is already gearing up for International Travel on the 17th of may. Whether that will happen would be confirmed either way until early next month. Won� t be. The Flight Simulators here are in use 2a hours a day, with pilots yearning to get back to the skies. For pilots, we as a group are tremendously looking forward to getting back in the air again. Pilots dont want to be on the ground any more than aircraft want to be on the ground, and for us, we are really trying to respond to any pent up demand so that we are fully ready to go when the government gives the green light on certain routes in the future. This announcement is not the grand reopening the industry was looking for, but after months of travel restrictions, the easing looks likely to take time. Caroline davies, bbc news. We will be joined by the transport secretary grant shapps here on breakfastjust after 7. 30 this morning. Theres been another night of rioting in belfast, with petrol bombs, fireworks, and stones thrown at the police. Officers used water cannon for the first time in six years in an attempt to restore order, as James Reynolds reports. In belfast, the night was lit up. This latest unrest came on the nationalist side, not far from the wall separating the citys two communities. The Police Responded with water cannon, the first time they have done so in six years. The First Minister says these scenes have taken Northern Ireland backwards. Last nights clashes werent on the same scale as wednesday, where rioters on the loyalist side hijacked and firebombed a bus. Some of those gathered were in their early teens, far too young to remember the era of troubles that the 1998 Good Friday Agreement pledged to end for good. History has shown very, very clearly in relation to Northern Ireland, one side acting on its own, whether its within Northern Ireland or between the two governments or whatever, doesnt succeed. It only ever succeeds to bring peace and stability when both sides are working together. Thats going to require joint action by government, it is going to require the assembly and the executive working really with a single voice. We join the british, the irish, the Northern Irish leaders in their calls for calm. We remain, as you heard us say before, steadfast supporters and prosperous Northern Ireland, in which all committees have a voice and all communities enjoy the gains of a hard won peace. This is that the president has spoken to quite passionately in the past. The past itself is what overshadows this unrest. Northern irelands fractures now reach its younger generation. James reynolds, bbc news. From today, everyone in england has access to two Rapid Coronavirus tests a week, which can provide results in around 30 minutes. The lateral flow kits will be available at testing sites, pharmacies, and through the post. Heres our Health Correspondent dominic hughes.

Extra testing is not without its critics. Some argue it is a waste of money unless people have more support to isolate when they have to. Given more than a third of those who have the virus show no symptoms, ministers argue that testing remains an essential part of the response to the virus. At this macclesfield pharmacy, they are already well into the roll out of the second jab to those most at risk, and Health Experts believe it is this combination of vaccinations and testing that will get us out of this pandemic. Dominic hughes, bbc news, macclesfield. The uks leading Sports Bodies are backing the use of Vaccine Passports and covid testing as a way of getting full crowds back. In a joint letter to the leaders of the Major Political parties, the group says a Certification Process could allow fans to return as quickly as possible. It warns that the system must not be discriminatory, and should protect privacy. The Welsh Government is speeding up the easing of its covid restrictions, as Infection Levels continue to drop. Gyms will be allowed to reopen and people from two households can bubble up to meet indoors from 3rd may, instead of 10th may. The dates for reopening the Hospitality Industry have not changed. Muslims who observe the islamic holy month of ramadan are being reassured that receiving a coronavirus vaccination will not break their fast. From monday evening, many will refrain from food and drink during daylight hours. Harry farley reports. This Islamic Centre in birmingham is one of many places of worship that has been converted into a vaccine centre. For now, theirfocus has switched from saving souls to saving lives. There has been some debate among islamic scholars, but the majority now say that the Covid Vaccine does not break the fast. We know vaccine does not break the fast. Know that a lot of muslims are a bit concerned about having their Covid Vaccination during ramadan, and many people believe that having an injection actually breaks the fast, but it doesnt at all, because its not considered nutrition, so it is absolutely fine to have the Covid Vaccination while we are fast and. Ramadan will look different this year to normal. The British Islamic Medical Association has issued guidance for how to celebrate safely. There have been fears about vaccine take up among some ethnic minority groups, but there are signs initiatives like this in birmingham are having an impact.

A bit of a Roller Coaster and the temperatures. We had a milder spell of weatherfor some of us yesterday, but once again, those temperatures are going to be plummeting through today and the next couple of days as well. In fact, into the weekend, colder conditions to returning from the north. Some snow showers in the forecast particularly across scotla nd, forecast particularly across scotland, wet and windy weather in the south, and overnight frosts as well. So it is feeling quite wintry out there. A cold front working its way south today, bringing a line of cloud and Showery Rain Across Parts of Central England and wales. To the north of that, colder air, with some sunshine and wintry showers, particularly across scotland some fairly heavy snow showers on quite a brisk northerly wind. Temperatures around three to nine celsius most of us. Up to about 11 in the south east where there will be a little bit of sunshine into the afternoon stopped this evening and overnight, cloud and rain including from the south, and rain including from the south, and under those clear skies, it will be a cold night. Minus four Celsius Evenin be a cold night. Minus four celsius even in some of our towns and cities, colder than that in the countryside. A little bit milder towards the south, because we have more planned associated with this frontal system. That could well bring some fairly heavy rain across the far south east of the day on saturday. Elsewhere, sunshine, wintry showers, and it is not meant to feel particularly warm on saturday or sunday, im afraid. Sarah, thanks very much, see you later. As bars and restaurants across england make preparations to reopen and welcome customers outdoors, some are looking for creative ways to keep punters warm and dry. But one landlord has fallen foul of Government Guidelines after he spent £50,000 on an Outdoor Dining area, only to be told it breaks the rules. Will glennon has more.

Now not only is seated Cable Service two metres apart, they now say that over 50 of your internal space needs to be open air, which is unfeasible for us to open. These are guidelines, not laws, but they can be enforced. The design is to stop the virus spreading, according to the local council. Basically, its pretty clear that structures can be put up, temporary shatters structures can be put up, temporary shelters and marquees can be put up, but only shelters and marquees can be put up, but only 50 of the wall area can be covered~ but only 50 of the wall area can be covered~ it but only 50 of the wall area can be covered~ it is but only 50 of the wall area can be covered.

So the marquee in the beer garden has movable sides, it will probably be ok. This, although it has great airflow has solid sites, and probably doesnt meet the guidelines, meaning they wont be able to open this until the rules are relaxed further.

So customers are much needed, but in pubs everywhere, structures like the chalet will be out in the cold for a little longer. Will glennon, bbc news. As marquees go, that looked very nice. It did, but sadly, not within the regulations, there you go. Lets take a look at todays papers. The Daily Telegraph reports on what the governments latest travel plans will mean for Holiday Makers. It says even people who are fully vaccinated will have to pay for the more expensive pcr lab test on their return. The metros front page is partly taken up by this striking image taken during another night of violence in belfast. We will bring you the latest on what happened last night throughout the programme this morning. Some good news on the front of the sun as tv presenter Kate Garraway reveals her husband derek draper is back home after more than a year in hospital with coronavirus. And take a look at this archaeologists have discovered, in their words, the ancient egyptian pompeii. The city is believed to be the largest ancient city found in egypt, built more than 3,000 years ago. Wow, that looks stunning. Imagine uncovering all of that. I know. That is so much we dont know, isnt there . I like this story. It is very un pc at the moment, you would never say this now. This pc here isjohn tubby stevens. He is believed to have inspired the 1922 musical hit the laughing policeman, which you will remember. He was seen on postcards and newspapers, and he was really well known. When he died at age 1t0 8,000 of people lined the streets to remember him. He was really, really loved. This picture is 22 year old dan challis, and coincidence of coincidences, john tubby stevenss police number, his collar number, was 23, and dan, who is his great great grandson, has been ordered the same colour number. So he has followed in the family footsteps. Love to remember people of the community who made an impact. Dan is the first in his family since pcjohn tubby stevens to join the leicestershire police. There will be some people who have never heard that song, the laughing policeman. Look it up, it makes me laugh when i watch it. Dan said he wants to live up watch it. Dan said he wants to live up to debar his great great grandfather set, but but does not want to adopt his size. Lived up to the bar. This is a study from the united states, an unreleased album by prince, you are on the inside track for this. They died five years ago, the new album is going on sale, new material called welcome to america. This was recorded in 2010, so going back sometime, and a lot of people, you probably knew this, he stashed away a lot of material that was literally put in kind of vaults, and is gradually being taken out, so this is material the body has had before. If you are a prince fan, One Of The Best musicians in the world, this is mega exciting. It is due out onjuly 30. Even if you are not a prince fan, there is always some kind of curious fascination and music that is released after someone has passed away, because you kind of think, you heard what they have had to offer, then something new emerges. He was so innovative as well, that whatever comes out will feel new and of this time, just because he was. July 30 as the day of that release. Coming up as the day of that release. Coming up to 6. 20, good morning. The body mass index, or bmi, has long been used to determine if someone is a healthy weight. But now there are calls for the government to scrap the phrase.

In response to this, a spokesperson for the Department Of Health and social care has said, we are committed to improving outcomes for those with Eating Disorders and related Mental Health issues, with Record Funding to expand dedicated services in the community. Our approach is guided by the latest research and emerging evidence. We will have more on that study throughout the programme this morning, because one way or another, it will affect a lot of people, body imagery, bmi specifically, whether the merits of that. If you have had thoughts on that, do let us know. Coming upjust after 6. 30 ben will be live at Gatwick Airport, as we get more reaction to how the government plans to open holidays abroad from next month. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im tarah welsh. Children and young people are bearing the brunt� of the pandemic thats a warning from the the Royal College of psychiatrists. The number referred for Mental Health support rose by more than a quarter in the last year. The head of the college is warning the demand for services is reaching breaking point. This weekend marks the 40th Anniversary of the brixton riots, sparked by anger at the police against a backdrop of high unemployment. The riots saw buildings burned and Police Officers injured. Alex wheatle was 18 at the time and says the uk is still in denial about racism. It felt like at last i could unleash the rage inside me that so many of us had, not just for that weekend but leading up to months and perhaps years, then almost daily persecuted and oppressed and feeling that youre not wanted in this country. As restrictions ease, some blind and visually impaired people are concerned about how to navigate around restrictions. A recent survey by the Royal National institute of blind people found that more than half werent confident finding their way around new layouts. Post lockdown, yes, i am nervous. I am nervous of the two metre distance rule. I am nervous I Cannotjudge distance, i am nervous i do not have 3d vision. I am now that im going to be breaking the rules and someone will shout at me and say, can you not see where youre going . Lets take a look at the Travel Situation now. Theres a good service on all tube lines but tfl rail is partly closed. There are delays on the Heathrow Express because of a fault on the track. There are queues building towards the Blackwall Tunnel from blackwall lane. In sutton a21t Stonecot Hill remains closed because of a burst water main. Now the weather. Hello, good morning. A frost free start to the day across the capital the temperatures a good few degrees above freezing. Some spells of brightness and a little bit about it and shine around for a time this morning, lasting longer toward southern areas because cloud will be beginning from the north and then eventually, but not until the end of the day, the southern Home Counties will see this band of Showery Rain Made its way southwards. A cold front, behind it colder air. We are set to stay in the milderairfor much of the day. Top temperatures in Central London of 11, 12 celsius with a fairly gentle westerly breeze blowing. Through this evening and overnight, a band of Showery Rain In Place Southwards to leave us with a mostly dry night to come that with plenty of cloud. Tonights lowest temperatures will be towards northern Home Counties. Tomorrow there is a band of rain that will be pushing northwards from the near continent. We could see some of this at times again towards the south. There will be quite a lot of cloud. We are in the colder air and it will feel chilly with a cool, north easterly wind. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. Coming up on breakfast this morning. Youve heard of the great escape, but how about the crate escape . Well speak to the man who tried to post himself home to wales all the way from australia back in 1965. Going from one rollercoaster of a journey to the big dipper. Well be live at Blackpool Pleasure Beach as it celebrates 125 years of thrill seeking. And, just after 9 this morning, presenter ade adepitan will be here to tell us about his latest documentary exploring how communities around the world, affected by Climate Change, are tackling the issue. Were waiting to hear more detail about when and how foreign travel can resume. Ben is at Gatwick Airport for us. Good morning two years. There has been so much talk around foreign travel, holidays, how it will work, the practicalities. We are finding out how it might play out in practice. Still many questions. Still a lot of questions. Here at gatwick the Travel Industry is pouring over the details we have had over the last few hours about how the scheme will work to get us lying again and back on holiday. We have some answers but not all. The government will use a Traffic Light System to categorise countries according to risk. If you are heading to orfrom a green according to risk. If you are heading to or from a green list country you will not need to quarantine that you will need to have a test before you go and when you get back. That is for countries on the greenness photo if you go somewhere on the amber list, you will need to quarantine at home for ten days and he will need to have a test before you go and when you get back once again. If you go to a redneck country, that is the full works. You will have to Hotel Quarantine. A red list country. You will need a test before and after. Already lots of questions about whether that is affordable and whether only the richest and most wealthy people will be able to go abroad this year. I should also say the government is insisting on pcr tests, the more rigorous, more expensive tests rather than the cheaper lateral flow tests. You will have to book those arrangements it for you go on holiday. That is another thing to think about when you are having a summer getaway. The government also wants to introduce a green watchlist to try to avoid problems of last summer. Countries leading into different categories and the rush back to get home before needing to quarantine. Loads to die just and lots to think that if you are heading off for a holiday this summer.

This system is a good step forward earliest. This system is a good step forward. Grant shapps has done a very good forward. Grant shapps has done a very good job to steer that through government. We will all welcome the fact if government. We will all welcome the fact if you government. We will all welcome the fact if you are going to a country that is fact if you are going to a country that is green, where there is lowrisk. That is green, where there is low risk, low levels of coronavirus, you will low risk, low levels of coronavirus, you will not low risk, low levels of coronavirus, you will not need to quarantine when you will not need to quarantine when you get you will not need to quarantine when you get back. You are right to focus on the you get back. You are right to focus on the cost you get back. You are right to focus on the cost of the tests. If you are a british on the cost of the tests. If you are a british citizen, you have been fully a british citizen, you have been fully vaccinated and you are going to somewhere low risk like israel or the united to somewhere low risk like israel or the united states, not only will you need to the united states, not only will you need to test before you get on the plane need to test before you get on the plane coming back to show you do not have covid plane coming back to show you do not have covid to plane coming back to show you do not have covid to make you will then need have covid to make you will then need to have covid to make you will then need to have an expensive pcr test when need to have an expensive pcr test when you need to have an expensive pcr test when you arrive most people will say that makes when you arrive most people will say that makes no sense. That is a £150 bill you that makes no sense. That is a £150 bill you are that makes no sense. That is a £150 bill you are paying. There are far better bill you are paying. There are far better ways of delivering on the prime better ways of delivering on the Prime Ministers promise of quick and easy Prime Ministers promise of quick and easy testing we already use such as taking and easy testing we already use such as taking a and easy testing we already use such as taking a lateral flow test and only taking a pcr test if you are positive only taking a pcr test if you are positive in only taking a pcr test if you are positive. In that case it is exceptionally unlikely. The government exceptionally unlikely. The government says exceptionally unlikely. The government says it exceptionally unlikely. Tie government says it wants to make sure it has a rigorous Testing Programme in place to avoid new variants. If we are all of travelling around the world we know Different Countries have different Vaccination Rates and there are different variants. This is the only way they say they are not brought back to the uk and spread in the uk. We all understand that. Nobody wants to see we all understand that. Nobody wants to see covid going back into the uk, which to see covid going back into the uk, which is to see covid going back into the uk, which is why to see covid going back into the uk, which is why we have a Traffic Light System which is why we have a Traffic Light System.

You can imagine, if Vaccination Levels improve around the world Vaccination Levels improve around the world and risks start to reduce and people the world and risks start to reduce and people get more confident in the uk, will and people get more confident in the uk, will be and people get more confident in the uk, will be able to pull back some of these uk, will be able to pull back some of these very high levels of Testing Checks of these very high levels of Testing Checks which have been put into place checks which have been put into place. That is a good approach the government has taken. Liberty wants to see government has taken. Liberty wants to see Covid Government has taken.

The cost of the pcr test could be prohibitive for some families. £600 when you get back before the one before you book a holiday in the first place. These rules applyjust to england. We are expecting further details about wales, scotland and Northern Ireland in due course. Some of those points Northern Ireland in due course. Some of those points that Northern Ireland in due course. Some of those points that were Northern Ireland in due course. Some of those points that were brought up will be discussed with grant shapps at 7 30am. Now time for the sport. Mike is on standby with news from the masters. We have talked a lot about the flowers and shrubbery. Apt it Isjustin Rose who leads the way with a stunning opening round. He has led on four different occasions, a word of caution. Maybe it will be fifth time lucky. That was fun, was Howjustin Rose reacted. The masters is in full swing at augusta back in its traditional Spring Position in the calendar. It was another disappointing opening round for rory mcilroy though, still looking to complete a career grand slam he finished on four over with some very wayward hitting. But Englands Rose has had the round of the day, this stunning approach shot on the 17th setting him up for a birdie and he finished his round on seven under par, thats four shots clear. You cannot win the Golf Tournament today, even with a 65. You cannot win it today, you can only probably lose it today. And i was very aware, being a couple over 37 that rings. I didnt hit the panic button yet but i researched just prior to that and ijust thought, if i can get myself back around even par, that would be a good days work. Manchester united have gone a long way to booking their place in the semi finals of the Europa League. They beat granada 2 0 in their quarter final first leg in spain last night. Marcus rashford got the first and then Bruno Fernandez converted a late penalty to put united in control of the tie. It looked like it was going to be a 1 0 but we gladly would take the second goal, of course. It is so vital away from home. We have created a good Starting Point for the next weeks game for ourselves. It could be much tougher for arsenal though. They seemed to have pinched a late victory against slavia prague, with this goal from Nicolas Pepey but the czech side snatched an equaliser deep into added time, to leave the tie, in the balance ahead of next weeks away leg. It was a great opening day for sir Alex Ferguson at aintree, as the the grand National Festival returned after last years cancellation. The former Manchester United manager had a share, in each of the first three winners. All eyes were on the 2 Time National winner tiger roll, in the betway bowl chase, but he could only finish a very distant fourth as, clan des oboe, brought up the hatrick for ferguson, ridden by harry cobden and trained by paul nicholls. He came home 26 lengths clear. Despite the absence of any fans, sir alex says its the best days racing hes had since getting involved in the sport 20 years ago. The worlds most famous horse race the Grand National is back tomorrow. There wont be any crowds but there will be plenty of interest, as a0 riders battle it out, including three who are aiming to become the first female jockey to win the race. One of them is tabitha worsley, and ive been to meet her. A lifelong dream is about to come true for tabatha. It is causing quite a stir on the family farm as she prepares to ruffle feathers by writing in the Grand National. With her mum georgie can also her trainer, allowing her brother nervously every step of the way. Than nervously every step of the way. In absolute quivering wreck. She will be chic white in the morning. There will be a bit of excitement as well. I think i will spend a lot of time sitting i think i will spend a lot of time sitting down, absolutely terrifying.

Rachel blackmore, one of the favourites. Tabatha is 100 1 on board sad lieutenants. Anything can happen. Sub lieutenant. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather. The weather is throwing the Safety Reminders of winter. There were some cold weather on the way right the way through the weekend. This is a picture of the sky above surrey. Clouds drifting around. Through the day and into the weekend the main theme is things turning colder. There will be showers especially in scotland. If you have gardening plans, you might want to take note there are frosts on the way for the next few nights. A cold front is pushing its way slowly south across the uk stop there will be cold arctic wind in all parts of the uk and overnight. There will be cloud and overnight. There will be cloud and showery rain and central parts of england. Through the north of that we are in the cold air mass. A frost and also some icy stretches around best thing. Ac showers for Northern Ireland. Sunshine in Southern Scotland and northern england. A showers. Rain slowly sinking its way south. Along the south coast in the menu should keep brighter and drier weather. Some sunshine for the northern side of the Weather Front. 3 9 sunshine for the northern side of the weatherfront. 3 9 for sunshine for the northern side of the Weather Front. 3 9 for many of us. We could see ten, 11 in the south of england and wales. Into the evening we will lose the cloud and patchy rain. More snow showers striding across the north of scotland. Clear skies for many and a cold night ahead. A bit milder in the south. We had a Weather Front not far away. Probably clearing away by the time he get to sunday. Some uncertainty about how far north it will get. Most likely we will see rain across kent, east sussex, perhaps essex could see drizzly rain as well. Away from that clear skies and sunshine and wintry showers. Some sleet and snow mixed in. Temperatures for many of us in single figures. Three Saturday Night and into san the rain will sweep away. Three Saturday Night and into sunday. Sunday probably will be the dryer day of the weekend. We will lose the wet weather. There will lose the wet weather. There will be more showers flowing in on the cold northerly winds which will be very hit and miss. Some sleet and hill snow mixed in with the showers with is about six, 7 degrees. We could see temperatures about 10 degrees on the south coast. Things will start to warm up next week. You do know that lead of people will be concerned about what is happening on monday. Many people will have the tables outside. Some will escape the rain but not everywhere. I think i will bring my hot water bottle. That is such a good idea. Stylish potentially. Who knows . As well as pubs, restaurants and retail shops, theme parks in england will be opening their doors once again this coming monday.

This weekend marks the 40th Anniversary of the brixton riots, sparked by anger at the police against a backdrop of high unemployment. The riots saw buildings burned and Police Officers injured. Alex wheatle was 18 at the time, and says the uk is still in denial about racism.

Theres a good service on all tube lines but tfl rail is partly closed. There are delays on the Heathrow Express because of a fault on the track. There are queues building towards the Blackwall Tunnel from blackwall lane. In sutton, a24 Stonecot Hill remains closed because of a burst water main. Now the weather. Hello, good morning. A frost free start to the day across the capital with temperatures a good few degrees above freezing. Some spells of brightness and a little bit about early sunshine around for a time this morning, lasting longest towards southern areas because cloud will be thickening from the north and then eventually, but not until the end of the day, for southern Home Counties, well see this band of Showery Rain Move its way southwards. A cold front, behind it colder air. We are set to stay in the milderairfor much of the day. Top temperatures in Central London of 11, 12 celsius with a fairly gentle westerly breeze blowing. Through this evening and overnight, a band of Showery Rain Clears Southwards to leave us with a mostly dry night to come but with plenty of cloud. Tonights lowest temperatures will be towards northern Home Counties. Tomorrow there is a band of rain that will be pushing northwards from the near continent. We could see some of this at times again towards the south. There will be quite a lot of cloud. We are in that colder air and it will feel chilly with a cool, north easterly wind. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Bye for now. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. Our Headlines Today hopes for foreign holidays, but at a cost the government announces plans to reopen International Travel, but passengers will have to pay for covid tests. A Traffic Light System will be used to categorise countries based on risk, but with holidaymakers needing to buy a test, theres claims only the wealthy will be able to afford to travel. Police respond with water cannon after coming under attack in belfast during another night of violence in Northern Ireland. Rose is in full bloom at the masters. Englishman justin rose was the star performer on the opening day at augusta, as he opened up a 4 shot lead, and is 7 under par. The man who flew Halfway Around The World by air mail, packed into a wooden crate. And after a slightly milder spell of weather over the past 24 hours or so, things turn cold are once again through today and into the weekend. Some snow showers in the forecast. All the details in about ten minutes. Good morning. Its friday the 9th of april. Our top story plans to reopen International Travel for holidaymakers from england have been unveiled with a requirement to pay for coronavirus tests. The government has stopped short of saying if foreign trips can resume next month, but has outlined a so called Traffic Light System, which will be used to categorise countries based on risk. For places on the green list, travellers will be asked to take a test before they return to england, and pay for a costly pcr test, typically £120, two days after arriving home. If youre coming to england from countries on the amber list you will also be asked to self isolate for 10 days, and pay for a pcr test on days two and eight. And passengers from red list destinations will be required to pay for ten days in a quarantine hotel. The plans have been met with widespread frustration by the Travel Industry. Heres our transport correspondent caroline davies. We may be dreaming of sunshine and summer getaways, but would you pay around an extra £100 per person when coming back from your trip overseas . The boss of easyjet isnt impressed at this part of the governments plan to reintroduce International Travel in england. I think its a blow to all travellers who were wishing to go and see friends and families and go on a holiday this summer, and i think particularly the concern why there are now two test systems in what they call the green category. Todays report says that passengers coming from the lowest risk green rated countries will still need to take one of the more expensive pcr tests when they arrive back in england, and pay for it themselves, currently around £100 each. Instead, the industry wants to use the quicker and cheaper lateral flow tests. The government says pcr testing will allow them to monitor positive cases and check for variants of concern. The report also says that if travel does go ahead, countries which will be on the green list will be announced in early may. There will be a watchlist for countries at risk of being changed to amber, and there will be new Consumer Rights for ticket refunds. The industry is already gearing up for International Travel on the 17th of may. Whether that will happen wont be confirmed either way until early next month. The Flight Simulators here are in use 24 hours a day, with pilots yearning to get back to the skies. For pilots, we as a group are tremendously looking forward to getting back in the air again. Pilots dont want to be on the ground any more than aircraft want to be on the ground, and for us, we are really trying to respond to any pent up demand so that we are fully ready to go when the government gives the green light on certain routes in the future. This announcement is not the grand reopening the industry was looking for, but after months of travel restrictions, the easing looks likely to take time. Caroline davies, bbc news. Then at Gatwick Airport. Ben. I spoke rather tojon holland kla about his frustration that while some travel looks likely, it is not yet a green light for everybody to head off on holiday this summer. Not least because of the pcr tests that will be required when people get back to the uk, the concern is that they are so expensive at about £150 each that if you are a family of four trying to get on holiday this summer, joe custer and extra £600 before paying for the flights, the hotel, or any of the rest of the holiday. A lot of reaction to that news this morning, airlines uk, the group that represents uk airlines, saying it does not represent a reopening of travel in any way. They say the insistence on expensive and unnecessary pcr tests means that people simply will not be able to travel. It poses an unsustainable burden on passengers. And i that has been reflected across the industry, because there are calls instead that if you have a positive lateral flow test, only then would you need to have a pcr test, rather than having to have both, this belt and braces approach that the government says is necessary to protect other variants getting back into the uk. Caroline also mentioned the idea of a green watchlist as well, just being seen as a very valuable tool for the industry, because you may remember last summer there was a lot of concern about people being away, then the country that they were moving on to a different list, and therefore requiring a quarantine, and we saw that mad dash of people trying to get back from overseas destinations to beat the deadline. The idea of the watchlist is to prevent that, but nonetheless, i think the industry says yes, this is progress, but not the sort of opening up they would have wanted. Ben, thanks very much, we will see later. We will be speaking to grant shapps about how that system might work at 7. 30. Theres been another night of rioting in belfast, with petrol bombs, fireworks and stones thrown at the police. Officers used water cannon for the first time in six years in an attempt to restore order, as James Reynolds reports. In belfast, the night was lit up. This latest unrest came on the nationalist side, not far from the wall separating the citys two communities. The Police Responded with water cannon, the first time they have done so in six years. The First Minister says these scenes have taken Northern Ireland backwards. Last nights clashes werent on the same scale as wednesday, where rioters on the loyalist side hijacked and firebombed a bus. Some of those gathered were in their early teens, far too young to remember the era of troubles that the 1998 Good Friday Agreement pledged to end for good. History has shown very, very clearly in relation to Northern Ireland, one side acting on its own, whether its within Northern Ireland or between the two governments or whatever, doesnt succeed. It only ever succeeds to bring peace and stability when both sides are working together. Thats going to require joint action by government, it is going to require the assembly and the executive working really with a single voice. We join the british, the irish, the Northern Irish leaders in their calls for calm. We remain, as you heard us say before, steadfast supporters and prosperous Northern Ireland, in which all committees have a voice and all communities enjoy the gains of a hard won peace. This is that the president has spoken to quite passionately in the past. The past itself is what overshadows this unrest. Northern irelands fractures now reach its younger generation. James reynolds, bbc news. Our ireland correspondent chris page is in belfast this morning. Many questions, one about how you stop the unrest in the immediate term, but also about what the wider questions. Term, but also about what the wider cuestions. ,. ,.

Yes, the fact that the white house has now added its voice to the calls for calm shows really just how these violent images are going right around the world, not the sort of image that Northern Ireland would want to be projecting internationally, thats for sure. As regards what is causing this unrest, well, most of the trouble so far has been happening in loyalist areas, and police have spoken about a sense of unease in those communities about, for example, the new Brexit Arrangements for Northern Ireland, the trade border, in essence, between this part of the uk and england scotland and wales, which the loyalists see as a road in the sense of britishness. There are other factors at play as well, that the police have been cracking down, Criminal Enterprises Run by loyalist paramilitaries, and there was anger that prosecutors did not take action against senior sinn fein politicians last week for originally reaching allegedly breaching Coronavirus Restrictions to attend a funeral. Deep divisions here at stormont and also for the british and irish governments. Also for the british and irish governments. ,. , governments. Chris, thanks very much. From today, everyone in england has access to two Rapid Coronavirus tests a week, which can provide results in around 30 minutes. The lateral flow kits will be available at testing sites, pharmacies and through the post. Heres our Health Correspondent dominic hughes. Now available at your local pharmacy, lateral flow tests are the quick and easy way to tell if you are ill with coronavirus. They have already been rolled out in schools and many workplaces. They are also available as testing centres, online, or via work, and pharmacists say they can offer help and advice when needed. When the time come when tests need to be accessed, we are an obvious choice where you can go and get a test, get a quick result, and also if you have got any questions about the vaccine or the pandemic, it can all be answered in one setting. It takes only 30 minutes to get a result from a lateral flow test, which involves swabbing the throat and nose. It is believed to be test gives one false positive in every 1000, where someone is wrongly identified as having been infected with the virus, so people are being urged to follow up with a more reliable pcr test if they return a positive result. Extra testing is not without its critics. Some argue it is a waste of money unless people have more support to isolate when they have to. Given more than a third of those who have the virus show no symptoms, ministers argue that testing remains an essential part of the response to the virus. At this macclesfield pharmacy, they are already well into the roll out of the second jab to those most at risk, and Health Experts believe it is this combination of vaccinations and testing that will get us out of this pandemic. Dominic hughes, bbc news, macclesfield. The uks leading Sports Bodies are backing the use of Vaccine Passports and covid testing as a way of getting full crowds back. In a joint letter to the leaders of the Major Political parties, the group says a Certification Process could allow fans to return as quickly as possible. It warns that the system must not be discriminatory, and should protect privacy. The Welsh Government is speeding up the easing of its covid restrictions, as Infection Levels continue to drop. Gyms will be allowed to reopen and people from two households can bubble up to meet indoors from 3rd may, instead of 10th may. The dates for reopening the Hospitality Industry have not changed. Its 7. 12. The rspb annual Garden Birdwatch results are in. Which student was the most observed bird in gardens . I were living at the obvious, pigeons . What about a robin . No, it was the tiny house sparrow, most observed in our gardens for a second year running. Over a Million People took part by watching birds for an hour as part of the big Garden Birdwatch. Its the Worlds Largest wildlife survey. What about us that, anyone . I dont know what kind of bird it is. It is a pretty little bird. No ornithologists in this room. I was talking to someone at the other day who took part in the big bird watcher event, and there was a specific time, his garden is always full of birds, that was likely birdwell had been told it was going on, they sat there waiting for the Bird Population to be there, as they always are, not a single bud. Literally, almost like on the outcome of the clock ticked to the clock ticked to be time, nothing. Word had got out. Sarah, did you know what bird that was . Im going to see a sparrow as well, because some of them are the little brown ones and some have little black masks on, so. You know infinitely more than me, so i am buying into whatever you just said. We have all been spending a bit more times in our gardens, and not as nature and the birds as well. My ten year old has been out spotting some sparrows in our gardens recently. If you have plans to get out and about over the weekend, where it will be mixed out there. Things are turning colder once again, and some snow showers in the forecast particularly across parts of scotland. Some wet and windy weather on the way in the south, and in return for overnight frost as well. Cold air piling on from the north, whether from cold air piling on from the north, whetherfrom bringing a bit more cloud than some patchy showery rain to central and southern parts of a coming to wales as well, but to the north of that, some sunshine around, but more snow showers are specially across the northern half of scotland, even to low levels, so the snow falling, quite brisk northerly winds as well, three to nine celsius for most, can reach 11 or so in the far south. Through this evening and tonight, Patchy Rain Cleaning away from southern england. Other under the clear skies, getting down to 4 evenin the clear skies, getting down to 4 even in towns and cities, cold in the countryside. High pressure setting out towards the west, this Weather Front across the near continent which will spill a bit more cloud into parts of South East England in particular, and bringing a bit of rain. Some uncertainty about how far not at all get, likely kent perhaps parts of east sussex as well. Sunny spells in wintry showers elsewhere, it will not feel particularly warm, for most of us about five nine celsius. Could just reach double figures towards the south. Thank you, sarah, we will see you later on. The time is 7. 16. Enough is enough. That was the message sent out by Football Club swansea city Football Club yesterday as they announced a week long social media boycott to combat online abuse. They were joined by Birmingham City and rangers, as calls grow for companies to do more to tackle abuse on their platforms. Swansea playerjamal lowe, who has been racially abused on social media, welcomed the move. Obviously hopefully we can reach the platforms and make them make the first move, make it so you have to verify the accounts to be a part of the platforms. If everyone on twitter or instagram or facebook or wherever had to put their Passport Details in when they had an account, im sure half of them wouldnt post the stuff that they post. But its just one of them, youre able to create an account in five minutes, post what you want, and then delete it, and its untraceable. Liverpool captain and england internationalJordan Henderson, then announced that he was handing over control of his social media accounts to an anti cyberbullying charity. Over the past few years, ive seen some of me friends, team mates, other players, people within football, out of football, the wider society, suffer some horrendous abuse online, and still i dont really see much changing. Again last night, some of me team mates were racially abused online after a football match, and to me, thats just unacceptable. The anti cyberbullying charity that Jordan Henderson hasjoined forces with is called the cybersmile foundation, and founder Scott Freeman joins us now. Good morning. It is interesting, i wasjust good morning. It is interesting, i was just listening to jamal say earlier, make them make the first move. This is about the social Media Companies and how much protection is being offered. Would they . Yeah. Companies and how much protection is being offered. Would they . Being offered. Would they . Yeah, i think it is complex being offered. Would they . Yeah, i think it is complex because, being offered. Would they . Yeah, i think it is complex because, when. Being offered. Would they . Yeah, i. Think it is complex because, when we think it is complex because, when we think about social Media Companies, there is so many more than just a handful we see primarily in the news. I think social Media Companies need to do more, i think they will actually be the first people to accept that they need to do more, but it is such a massive undertaking on a global level for these platforms that, you know, its a goal, and it can be achievable, but theres a lot more to do in terms of education and awareness raising, it is notjust about building bigger walls, it is about people being nicer to each other, understanding the impact they are having, being educated, having empathy, it is a much bigger issue. So educated, having empathy, it is a much bigger issue. Educated, having empathy, it is a much bigger issue. So what feedback have ou much bigger issue. So what feedback have you had much bigger issue. So what feedback have you had from much bigger issue. So what feedback have you had from social much bigger issue. So what feedback have you had from social media have you had from social Media Companies . Because this is something we have spoken about a lot. The culture secretary Oliver Dowden said this is complex, we must get it right, he is absolutely determined to tackle racist abuse online. This isntjust to tackle racist abuse online. This isnt just about racism, to tackle racist abuse online. This isntjust about racism, this is about billing, this is about trolling, this is about picking up on some trend and not letting it go, and someone has pointed out, anonymous accounts created and then deleted once the hatred and vitriol has been put out there. What is actually going to be done . We has been put out there. What is actually going to be done . We are an educational and actually going to be done . We are an educational and support educational and support organisation, so for us, our main aim is to educate people how to protect themselves online, and to support people that are affected by these issues. 50 support people that are affected by these issues these issues. So it interrupts, isnt that these issues. So it interrupts, isnt that the these issues. So it interrupts, isnt that the problem . These issues. So it interrupts, isnt that the problem . That. These issues. So it interrupts, isnt that the problem . That people are online and now having to be taught to protect themselves rather than not actually being there in the first place . That is the point, isnt it . The social Media Companies, there should be some way off preventing it from being there in the first place and preventing anyone from being exposed to it. Yeah, i think for a few years, there has been movement to give people the tools to be in control of their own feeds, which is one of the things platforms do, so you have got filters, blocks, the ability to delete comments and manage comments, that its something that has been ruled out. So they are giving people more and more control, but absolutely, if you can educate people forever, but youre still going to get a number of people who are intent on hatred and affecting peoples lives, and it does need to be a larger strategy to address that, and whether that is things like identity verification, tougher laws, i would like identity verification, tougher laws, iwould imagine like identity verification, tougher laws, i would imagine this is a combination of all of them. It has not to the combination of all of them. It has got to the point combination of all of them. It has got to the point where combination of all of them. It has got to the point where swansea i combination of all of them. It has got to the point where swansea city have announced all players and staff are going social media for a week, we have had very high profile individuals leave social media, there has even been talk that Gareth Southgate has suggested england players could adopt a social media blackout at this summers euros. That is what this means now, isnt it . That is the message that gets through. It it . That is the message that gets throu~h. ,. ,. ,. , through. It is one way of raising awareness through.

It is one way of raising awareness of the issue, yes, i through. It is one way of raising | awareness of the issue, yes, the message gets through and gets the attention of the media. But in the same way, Jordan Henderson reached out to us and said, i want to make a difference, he is in tune with the power of his platform, he has got about 10 million followers, and thanks to. She was intending to pull his accounts, or considering it, thanks to working with us, just yesterday between 3pm and midnight, the data came through, 13,000 people have access to an interactive module to learn how to take control of their feeds on instagram, to learn how to take control of theirfeeds on instagram, how to block out was that they dont want on their feet, block out was that they dont want on theirfeet, how block out was that they dont want on their feet, how to delete comments. Things that some users already know exist, and many users dont know that they have that power. So there is power in the kind of boycotting, there is also power in using the platform to raise awareness, give people support links, promote the real life impact that this is having on people, because quite a high number of people have no idea how deeply this kind of bullying and abuse is affecting people, because youve got to be very bad criminal toxic abuse, hate speech, there is laws in place for that, though rooms to be tougher enforcement of them, then youve also got those grey areas of abuse which are beyond opinion, that is the area that is really difficult to define and manage for everyone.

It is never a pleasant experience, it is an awful experience, it is an awful experience for anybody. I have listened carefully then to your piece, and i have a lot of somebody with what footballers and Football Clubs were saying, because we do have an issue around behaviour on social media. The government has been promising an online harm spill for a number of years now, and that needs to be brought forward to the house of commons urgently. Online harm is bill. What we need is to have in place an actual set of laws that put a duty on platforms to regulate themselves to remove harmful content, and if they fail to do so, to have a stringent system of penalties in place. It is interesting, penalties in place. It is interesting, the penalties in place. It is. Interesting, the swansea penalties in place. It is interesting, the swansea footballer we had from a moment ago, jamal lowe, he was saying, why not have verified accounts . So before you have an account, you have to put in your Passport Details. If you were in government, would you consider that kind of approach . It may be simplistic, i know people can go to other places, but do you think that is a place for that kind of approach . Is a place for that kind of auroach . ,. , approach . We do need a system whereby people approach . We do need a system whereby people can approach . We do need a system whereby people can be approach . We do need a system whereby people can be held approach . We do need a system whereby people can be held to i whereby people can be held to account for their online behaviour, just as they would be if they hold abuse like that on our streets. Clearly there is a complexity to it, there may well be part of the world where there are oppressive regimes that we would want people to speak out on social media, that the reviewing of their identity would put them in danger with that regime. What about on a uk basis . Im just going to clarify what you would do, the areas that you would consider. I take your point internationally that is a slightly different question, but domestically, is that something, the idea of someone having to prove who they are before they are allowed to have an account via Something Like a passport. Would you go down that path if you were in government . That kind of pathway where people can be held to account, yes, we would. As i say, that is an issue around whistle blowers and protecting identity in certain circumstances that you would have to build on, but that accountability would be central to the approach of a liberal government, as would be ensuring that weve put self regulation behind us, its not working, making sure too that platforms have a duty to the that harmful content within a period of time, and then to make sure that you have the penalties in place. We do need that regime, and the government should be bringing the online harms bill forward as a matter of urgency. The information we are getting about International Travel, holidays, the information we are getting about internationaltravel, holidays, is internationaltravel, holidays, is in what we are talking about, but concerns do you have about the green light system, and the requirement of people from a low risk country that when they come back, they have to have a pcr test at a cost of somewhere between hundred £150 £120 to £150. The somewhere between hundred £150 £120 to £150 somewhere between hundred £150 £120 to £150. The government has not outlined this £120 to £150. The government has not outlined this in £120 to £150. The government has not outlined this in detail, £120 to £150. The government has not outlined this in detail, it £120 to £150. The government has not outlined this in detail, it has outlined this in detail, it has spoken about factors like Vaccination Rates, infection rates, the position with variants in the level of genomic sequencing, but i have no idea what the levels of each of those are for the government to place countries into whether it is a green category, amber or red, and instead what we have had this week once again is the system of being drip fed into the media day by day. We then have it announced on a day when parliament isnt setting, so we cannot go to the commons and ask whether the home secretary of the transport secretary to set out the details of this. That is extremely frustrating, particularly on a day when it has emerged that 150,000 people since the government introduced the very limited form of Hotel Quarantine on the 15th Of February have entered the country who are totally unaccounted for. So rather than learn from one ad hoc drip fed announcement to another, the government needs to get those protections right on our borders now, particularly the contents of system of Hotel Quarantine, in order to enable that opening up. That fiuure, to enable that opening up. That figure, 150,000, to enable that opening up. That figure, 150,000, whether you caught putting that figure from . Where are you courting that figure from . The isu, the Immigration Service union, estimates that around about 800,000 people have entered the country. The government is only accounting for 640,000 at the moment. That is where the figure comes from, it is in the media this morning, that is extraordinarily worrying, that is happening because only 1 of people coming into this country are subject to Hotel Quarantine. It should be comprehensive. And secondly, the home quarantine and we know that the government is only checking a tiny proportion of those people to ensure they are quarantining. So the system we have, the protection of the border right now is not working, the government has to focus on those because we all want the hope of holidays abroad later in the year, but they have to get the protections of our border right now. fiur but they have to get the protections of our border right now.

Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im tarah welsh. This weekend marks the 40th Anniversary of the brixton riots. Sparked by anger at the police against a backdrop of high unemployment. The riots saw buildings burned and Police Officers injured. Alex wheatle was 18 at the time and says the uk is still in denial about racism. It felt like at last i could unleash the rage inside me that so many of us had, not just for that weekend, but leading up for months and perhaps years of being almost daily persecuted and oppressed and feeling that youre not wanted in this country. Some blind and visually impaired people are concerned about how to navigate around new restrictions. A recent survey by the Royal National institute of blind people found that more than half werent confident finding thier way around new layouts. Post lockdown, yes, i am nervous. I am nervous of the two metre distance rule. I am nervous I Cannotjudge distance, i am nervous i do not have 3d vision. I am nervous that i might be breaking the rules and someone will shout at me and say, can you not see where youre going . Friends of a father of two, who died from covid, have been raising money to fulfil one of his final wishes. Femi yussuff had promised his young sons that he would redecorate their bedrooms. Now his family and colleagues have raised more than Five Thousand pounds towards the project. It is so touching that they could even think back about about those thoughts and discussions they had at the time and they want to be able to do something as nice as that for the boys as well, we are touched by it. Lets take a look at the Travel Situation now. Theres a good service on all tube lines but tfl rail is partly closed. There are queues building towards the Blackwall Tunnel from blackwall lane. Now the weather with elizabeth. Hello, good morning. A frost free start to the day across the capital with temperatures a good few degrees above freezing. Some spells of brightness and a little bit of early sunshine around for a time this morning, lasting longest towards southern areas because cloud will be thickening from the north and then eventually, but not until the end of the day, for southern Home Counties, well see this band of Showery Rain Move its way southwards. A cold front, behind it colder air. We are set to stay in the milderairfor much of the day. Top temperatures in Central London of 11, 12 celsius with a fairly gentle westerly breeze blowing. Through this evening and overnight, our band of Showery Rain Clears Southwards to leave us with a mostly dry night to come but with plenty of cloud. Tonights lowest temperatures will be towards northern Home Counties. Tomorrow there is a band of rain that will be pushing northwards from the near continent. We could see some of this at times again towards the south. There will be quite a lot of cloud. We are in that colder air and it will feel chilly with a cool, north easterly wind. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. Plans to allow people in england to go on foreign holidays have been unveiled with a requirement to pay for coronavirus tests. The government has outlined a so called Traffic Light System, which will be used to categorise countries based on risk. For places on the green list, travellers will be asked to take a test before they return to england, and pay for a pcr test, which typically cost £120, two days after arriving home. If youre coming to england from countries on the amber list will also be asked to self isolate for 10 days, and pay for a pcr test on days two and eight. And passengers from red list destinations will be required to spend ten days in a quarantine hotel. Were joined now by the transport secretary grant shapps. Good morning. Good morning.

I think the uk g nine sequence is half of the worlds coronavirus sequencing. Blackpool sequence. They are the four factors that will be looked at and that will help to categorise where a country is on a Traffic Light System. Past is on a Traffic Light System.

I am going to work between now and the 17th of may, the earliest date for International Travel to resume, with the private sector and to see if this price can be brought down.

We will keep the requirements in place for the green, amberand red keep the requirements in place for the green, amber and red categories under constant review as the situation changes.

There are additional costs involved because of coronavirus and people will make decisions about whether or not to go abroad on the back of that. Families have been separated all this time. The office of National Statistics says that of children have at least one parent born overseas. Families in the uk are uniquely spread across the world and a lot of those families will not see each other for months. We have this domestic unlock on monday.

Thank you for your time this morning you can whisk us away to a different place altogether. To look after, where the azaleas are in full bloom and the rows. Roses. Englands justin rose loves the opening day of the masters. Hes led on four occasions at this stage but has never won the green jacket. Hopefully, for him, this time, he can keep his blistering start going. Whatever happens, the masters is blossoming again. Back in its usual place in the calendar, and with around 15,000 fans allowed in. That doesnt make it any easier for many of the big names though, as Austin Halewood reports. Spring at augusta. The masters back in its traditional home, the azaleas back in bloom. Golf at its most picturesque. Under the surface, this iconic course has plenty of bite. Rory mcilroy once again looking for the final piece of the career grand slam. Another poor opening round, at four over par, his hopes perhaps already sunk. Big hitting Bryson Dechambeau has been looking to bully his way around the Augusta National but often the big hits are just as important as the small ones. Bryson falling short on four over. Five months ago, dustinjohnson won his first greenjacket in a record under 20 parfinish. Although there were moments of that magic, scoring this year is not that easy. A double bogey on the 18th left the champion two over. Tommy fleetwood had the shot of the day. The english man with a hole in one and the par 3 16th. In the end, only a handful of players were under par for their opening round. Justin rose was the pick of them. The english man with another brilliant round at augusta. A two time runner up, he tops the leaderboard on seven under par. Could this be the year he finally goes one better . Austin halewood, bbc news. Rory mcilroy� s wayward tee shot, on his four over par opening round, hit a spectator on the leg. It turned out to be his dad gerry. What on earth are the chances of that . Big relief, i guess. Dad joked he wanted a signed glove as an apology. Mcilroy said he would autograph a bag of frozen peas. He finished 4 over par. Their riches. He was wearing shorts as well. No trousers for protection. Verities. Its advantage Manchester United, as they aim for the semi finals of the Europa League they beat granada 2 0 in their quarter final first leg in spain last night. Marcus rashford got the first and then Bruno Fernandez converted a late penalty to put united in control of the tie. Frustration for arsenal though. They seemed to have pinched a late victory against slavia prague, with this goal from Nicolas Pepey but the czech side snatched an equaliser deep into added time, to leave the tie, in the balance ahead of next weeks away leg. We will be looking ahead to the Grand National later. I have been hit on the ankle by a gospel. It doesnt matter if you are wearing trousers or not, it stings so much. Golf ball.

That held up air piling its way in, pushing this Weather Front further south stop this line of gladly showers across parts of Central England and wales. Some sunshine and wintry showers. Quite icy conditions. Temperatures about three to 9 degrees. We could say ten, 11 in the far south. This evening and tonight, as we lose that cloud from the south and that we are going to keep clearing skies and temperatures plummeting quickly. Away from the south where it is milder and in this area of cloud. This Weather Front across the near continent will spin weigh in on saturday, bringing patchy rain. Established in its way in. Nothing to write home about four the time of year. Greta thunberg has travelled the world as an environmental campaigner, but she wont be attending the Un Climate Conference scheduled to be held in glasgow this november. She wants the uk to postpone the summit until global Vaccination Rates allow all nations to attend on the same terms. Shes been talking to our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt. For the last 18 months, Greta Thunberg has been making a documentary series on the science of Climate Change. I have been going the whole way round the world the wrong way. In 2019, she took a year off school. The programmes show her visiting glaciers. This year we had the fastest melt rate weve ever measured. Six metres of ice down. At global conferences and leading big demonstrations. World leaders are behaving like children. Then, and during the coronavirus lockdown in her home in stockholm. I have contracted the coronavirus. Did it change your perspective on the climate issue . Now she has told the bbc she doesnt believe Vaccination Rates globally means the crucial Un Climate Conference, known as the cop, planned for glasgow in november, should go ahead. As it is now, i dont think i will be going to the cop because this needs to happen in the right way. Are you saying the British Government should delay or cancel the conference . Not cancel, maybe postpone it. Of course, the best thing to do would be to get everyone vaccinated as soon as possible so everyone could take part on the same terms. Greta, you know greta. During the making of the documentaries, greta meets World Leaders and a host of scientists. What we measure is the flow of Carbon Dioxide between the forest and the atmosphere. And the worlds most famous climate campaigner also meets the worlds most famous naturalist. My generation has made a mess of things. Weve known it is happening and we have done nothing. Yep, sir david attenborough. We have to make major changes to the way we live. That is where you have done such a lot, you really have. You have spoken for the generation thats going to have to look after it. What would he say to people, especially young people, who feel there is no point doing it because no one is listening anyway . People are listening. Greta also visited paradise, the californian town consumed by fire in 2018. Confirmed her belief that government and the media needs to recognise tackling Climate Change is as urgent as tackling the pandemic. The corona pandemic is a tragedy and nothing else. This actually shows we are able to treat an emergency like an emergency and we are able to shift social norms very quickly. Imagine if media would start treating the Climate Crisis like a crisis, that could change everything overnight. The swedish activist has achieved extraordinary world attention. Is she worried her star could wane . I would not say i am worried, i know that will happen. I am surprised people have been listening to me for so long. I expected people would get tired after a few months. They keep on listening and i do not know why that is. I guess if people are listening, i am going to use that opportunity to sort of communicate the message as much as i can. It is quite exhausting. At 18, Greta Thunberg is not a child any more but she is back at school, making up for the 18 months she took off to campaign. She says she is delighted to be studying again but has no plans to stop campaigning. We can act but we dont have time to wait. Justin rowlatt, bbc news. Greta thunberg a year to change the world, begins on bbc one on monday at 9pm and on iplayer. Lets ta ke lets take you back in time a little bit. In 1965, 19 year old welshman brian robson was 10 months in to a two year working visa in australia, but overwhelmed by homesickness. What followed next was a remarkable story. Unable to afford the plane ticket home, brian with the help of his irish friends paul and john packed himself into a crate and mailed himself back to the uk. However, things went a little wrong when the crate was diverted from its original 36 hourjourney from melbourne to london and rerouted to los angeles. In the end, brian spent a total of 4 days in his crate, which measured less than a metre wide on a journey of 8,000 miles. Incredibly, brian eventually arrived at Heathrow Airport safe and sound, and now 56 years later, he is hoping to find his old friends, to say thank you for the help they gave him. Brian joins us now.

I must have turned it on the same time and dropped it. Because of the medical problems, i could not reach it. It was shining out through the slats in the crate. A little while later, two airport workers walked past and said there was a light in the crate. They stopped. One of them bent his knees and looked down through a little hole in their side and met me sort of head on. Had there been an Olympic Games in that time, there would he would probably have one for his backflip. At the same time, screaming, there is a body in there. They had to persuade doubtful men or bosses that there was a body. They thought they were joking. About half an hour later, half of the los angeles airport turned up. Its, angeles airport turned up. A fantastic story. I wish you well in your mission to find your old friends. I know you wrote a book about everything you went through. If that rings a bell.

Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. Our Headlines Today hopes for foreign holidays, but at a cost the government announces plans to reopen International Travel, but passengers will have to pay for covid tests. A Traffic Light System will be used to categorise countries based on risk, but with holidaymakers needing to buy a test, theres claims only the wealthy will be able to afford to travel. Police respond with water cannon after coming under attack in belfast during another night of violence in Northern Ireland. One day to go until the worlds most famous horse race returns. Well meet the jockey, whos preparing to take on the sports elite, as the grand National Returns tomorrow, hoping to become the first female winner, and is trained by her mum. Good morning from sunny blackpool, where they are hoping the crowds will return, because here the Pleasure Beach they are preparing to open next week for their 125th season, and ive got the unique opportunity this morning to test ride some of the Roller Coaster. And after a brief mild spell, things turning colder again as we had to because of the weekend, but a bit of sunshine in the forecast, too. More details on about ten minutes. Good morning. Its friday the 9th of april. Our top story plans to reopen International Travel for Holiday Makers from england have been unveiled with a requirement to pay for coronavirus tests. In the past half hour, the transport secretary grant shapps has told breakfast that the government will look at trying to cut the costs of the pcr tests, typically £120. To make them more affordable forfamilies. For places on the green list, travellers will be asked to take a test before they return to england, and pay for a pcr test, two days after arriving home. If youre coming to england from countries on the amber list, you will also be asked to self isolate for ten days, and pay for a pcr test on days two and eight. And passengers from red list destinations will be required to pay for ten days in a quarantine hotel. The plans have been met with widespread frustration by the Travel Industry. Ben is at Gatwick Airport for us this morning and ben lots of reaction to the plans already. Some detail but not all, crucially we know that the Traffic Light System that tells us where we will be able to go, and what you will need to do to get there, crucially to get back. But the industry i think is a little frustrated by the requirements for pcr tests, because we know that those are in some cases more robust, costing about £150 for a test. And that to the industry is prohibitive, it means and with the wealthiest will be able to afford to travel this summer. Even if family of four going somewhere on the green list, it could cost them £600 just for the test before they have paid for the test before they have paid for flights or hotels. Earlier, spoke to the boss of heathrow, and he explained to me his frustration. He said if you have a negative test, or you have had the vaccine, why do you need to have this expensive test on your return . This is what he told me. Ii on your return . This is what he told me. ,. ~ on your return . This is what he told me. ,. ,. , me. If coming back from a lowrisk country and me. If coming back from a lowrisk country and you me. If coming back from a lowrisk country and you are me. If coming back from a lowrisk country and you are fully country and you are fully vaccinated, and youre coming from a country that has no variants of concern according to the government, why do you still need to take a pcr test after you have arrived . I think for most people, that would make no sense, this is why we need to make sure that travel becomes something that anyone can do not do something the wealthy. That anyone can do not do something the wealth. , that anyone can do not do something the wealthy the wealthy. That is the both of heathrow the wealthy. That is the both of heathrow. That the wealthy. That is the both of heathrow. That sentiment the wealthy. That is the both of. Heathrow. That sentiment echoed the wealthy. That is the both of heathrow. That sentiment echoed by so many in the Travel Industry this morning. They were looking for some detail about how industry would be open, we could all get away for a summer holiday, a couple of weeks in spain, italy or greece this year. They say that perhaps could not happen. Grant shapps spoke to breakfast earlier, he said he is trying to work with industry now to bring down the cost of those tests to make them more affordable to get more of us on holiday this year. It seems to me that others should be driven seems to me that others should be driven down by more competition in the marketplace, that is what we will work the marketplace, that is what we will work on. I cannot give you the e do have to take every single possible precaution. Grant shapps exalainin possible precaution. Grant shapps explaining why possible precaution. Grant shapps explaining why they possible precaution. Grant shapps explaining why they feel possible precaution. Grant shapps explaining why they feel those possible precaution. Grant shapps| explaining why they feel those pcr tests are Still Necessary to prevent further variants getting back into the country from people who have been overseas. They also talked about a green watchlist, the idea being that if there is a country thatis being that if there is a country that is borderline between green and amber, and requiring you to quarantine, that will give someone a bit of advance notice to stop a repeat of those scenes we saw last summer, people rushing back to beat a deadline, cramming onto flights and ferriesjust to a deadline, cramming onto flights and ferries just to get back to the uk. Some progress, some opening up on the industry, but by no means the sort of opening up the industry wanted to see to get us flying again. We should also be very clear, these rules applyjust to england. We are expecting details about the plans for scotland, wales and Northern Ireland in due course. Thank you very much, ben. Theres been another night of rioting in belfast, with petrol bombs, fireworks and stones thrown at the police. Officers used water cannon for the first time in six years in an attempt to restore order. Our ireland correspondent chris page is in belfast and can tell us more. It looks beautiful behind you, but there are real concerns now but this is not being tampered down, and is still continuing. Yes, the violence last night happen mainly in the nationalist springfield road area, where police did turn a water cannon on rioters, several dozen of them. Some of them to my mind looked like they were not any older than their early teens. They threw petrol bombs, bricks and fireworks at police, for at least a couple of hours. There was also some trouble on the loyalist Shankill Road area as well, where again petrol bombers and stonethrowers attacked police. The event was not on the skill of the riots which happens 24 hours previously, where republicans and loyalists attacked each other across a peace barrier which is designed to prevent clashes between rival factions, but there is growing concern here in Northern Ireland but now that we have had a week of street violence in various parts of Northern Ireland, and in several different towns and cities, that really quelling this period of violence might be very difficult indeed. Politicians in the stunned executive, the devolved government here, have been for the british and irish governments to get involved. Even the white house has called for this as well. That is nervousness now about what might come over the weekend that there is certainly potential for further disorder. Chris, thanks very much. The uks leading Sports Bodies are backing the use of Vaccine Passports and covid testing as a way of getting full crowds back. In a joint letter to the leaders of the Major Political parties, the group says a Certification Process could allow fans to return as quickly as possible. It warns that the system must not be discriminatory, and should protect privacy. The Welsh Government is speeding up the easing of its covid restrictions, as Infection Levels continue to fall. Gyms will be allowed to reopen and people from two households can bubble up to meet indoors from 3rd may, instead of 10th may. The dates for reopening the Hospitality Industry have not changed. In amongst all the talk of restrictions lifting, and continues along the way, what you want to know is how the weather is going to help us. Be prepared for all eventualities if you have plans to be out and about next week. Snow showers have fallen overnight in the parts of scotland, a Winter Wonderland in the highlands even though we are now in the middle of spring. In that colder air will move south for all us as we head through the course of the weekend. Further snow showers particularly for scotland, some wet and windy weather towards the south, and certainly some billy sharp overnight frost as well. So conference weeping south, introducing this cold air map which is spilling down from the arctic, and it is bringing the snow showers which will continue through the day across the northern half of scotland. A couple of wintry showers across Northern Ireland, some of and sweetish as possible around the north east coast of finland as well. Further south, this line of cloud and patchy showed in pushing south. On the brighter spells, southern england up to around 13 celsius. Through this evening and overnight, the milder air through this evening and overnight, the milderairand through this evening and overnight, the milder air and the cloud gets pushed away towards the south, so we are all in the colder air mass with the clear skies. It particularly cold night for the stage in april, 4 celsius or so, even in some far more urban areas. So tomorrow, High Pressure setting out towards the west, this Weather Front sitting across the near continent. Some uncertainty about its out how far northup will get, but probably spilling some rain into the likes of kent, perhaps essex and sussex as well. Away from the far south east, sunny spells, wintry showers, and not going to feel very warm for the time of year. Sarah, thank you. The time of year. Sarah, thank you. The time is 8. 13. The body mass index, or bmi, has long been used to determine if someone is a healthy weight. But now there are calls for the government to scrap the phrase. Mp5 on the women and Equalities Committee say it doesnt help people with Eating Disorders, and causes anxiety about body imagery, as breakfastsjohn maguire has been finding out. What do you see when you look at yourself in the mirror, or in a photo . What do others see . And is it important what they think . Todays report by mp5 on body image is wide ranging. Everything from Obesity Policy to portrayal in advertising. Back in the day, i would have edited most of my photos, and i wouldnt have taken a selfie without a filter, so i would just take a photo like this, and then my most common things that i used to do when i edited my photos was to smooth my skin. There was a time that sasha would never post a photo of herself without modifying it. I was constantly comparing myself to the images i would see online, kind of unaware of how much they were edited, and i became and i became addicted to seeing myself in this way, so all ive got so all ive got is this incredible photo of me at my brothers at my brothers graduation, but ive completely changed my body, i have probably taken off a stone or two through editing. It makes me a bit sad. But now she campaigns for standards in advertising online in whether or not pictures have been edited. Now i am seeing my favourite people i have followed for years, and i am seeing their real skin, wrinkles and pores, its incredible, that will only have a positive effect on everyone else watching it as well. Hope has struggled with an Eating Disorder since she was a young girl. People think it is a choice, it is a diet gone wrong, it is a teenage white girls illness and somebody grows out of it, but actually it is a battle every single day. She is thrilled that mps are calling on the government to abandon the bmi, which is currently used to determine whether or not a persons weight is healthy. You cannot judge whether someone has an Eating Disorder based on their bmi. Only 6 of the people with an 18 disorder only 6 of the people with an 18 disorder will ever fall under late. So we have to scrap it, we need to get rid of it. Saul works to help fathers improve their health and fitness, but appreciates that what looks healthy on the outside can be very different on the inside. I would binge so heavily that. I remember being in the cinema with my brother, and i took three boxes of cereal to the cinema, because that was a day that i was allowed to cram things in, which would damage me afterwards, for days i would be thinking about, what have i done . He welcomes the broadening of the debate. The reason i posted about this on social media is that one of my clients is a 32 year old guy i have known for my whole life, pretty much, he told me he was bulimic, and my first image in my head was that of a young teenage girl who didnt look very well, and that came into my head, and i thoughts to myself, thats really wrong, that needs to change. It is notjust a thing that affects young girls, it is everyone and anyone. The mps report also cites the impact of lockdown and its after effects. They call for a wholesale change in how we and the government think, act and speak about our bodies, both in terms of our physical and Mental Health. John maguire, bbc news. In response to this, a spokesperson for the Department Of Health and social care has said, we are committed to improving outcomes for those with Eating Disorders and related Mental Health issues, with Record Funding to expand dedicated services in the community. Our approach is guided by the latest research and emerging evidence. Lets pick this up with our regular gp dr ellie cannon. This message will hit home to many people, specifically when it comes to bmi, how useful has it been up to you when people have said, am i ok, am i in ok shape . I you when people have said, am i ok, am i in ok shape . Am i in ok shape . I think whats important. Am i in ok shape . I think whats important, which am i in ok shape . I think whats important, which you am i in ok shape . I think whats important, which you have important, which you have highlighted right now in your report is that people are suffering from Eating Disorders, is that it can only ever be one measure. It is a pretty crude measure. For example, in Eating Disorders, clinics, they often use bmi for weight, use a more useful measure looking at the percentage that our children should be according to their height. When we are looking at obesity, the other end of the spectrum, we know that waist circumference is a better indicator of somebody� s out in terms of cardiovascular. So if bmi is to be used, it has to be part of a Holistic Health measurement which is clearly what you have highlighted right now in that report. Ioiroihg clearly what you have highlighted right now in that report. Why was it ever deemed right now in that report. Why was it ever deemed to right now in that report. Why was it ever deemed to be right now in that report. Why was it ever deemed to be useful . Right now in that report. Why was it ever deemed to be useful . I right now in that report. Why was it ever deemed to be useful . I can i ever deemed to be useful . I can about a time when that phrase didnt really exist, bmi, and then it came into being. Why was it deemed to be useful if now we are thinking, whereas the advantage . I can remember a time. It whereas the advantage . I can remember a time. Whereas the advantage . I can remember a time. It was originally a measure used remember a time. It was originally a measure used in remember a time. It was originally a measure used in terms remember a time. It was originally a measure used in terms of measure used in terms of anthropology, looking at studies of different types of populations. We know that different ethnic groups have different shapes and sizes and different bmi, it was looked at as a measurement in those terms. Rather than anything that ever should have been used as a clinical indicator. Then i think it became something that we have regularly got used to doing. It became part of the narrative. But as i have said over the years, does particularly useful. For babies, it often becomes a big source of anxiety for new parents what the weight is. But it is not a true measure of how well a baby is. Across the board, it is a pretty crude tool that we probably need to get enough.

Because of the news of the last couple of days, we are finding that many people are phoning up concerned about symptoms, they may develop a blood clot, so we are trying to help us many people as possible. We are really looking for people who have a significant severe headache between days four to 20 after having had an astrazeneca maxim, that is really the red flag for us to seek further investigations.

Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im tarah welsh. This weekend marks the 40th Anniversary of the brixton riots. Sparked by anger at the police against a backdrop of high unemployment. The riots saw buildings burned and Police Officers injured. Alex wheatle was 18 at the time and says the uk is still in denial about racism. It felt like at last i could unleash the rage inside me that so many of us had, not just for that weekend, but leading up for months and perhaps years of being almost daily persecuted and oppressed and feeling that youre not wanted in this country. Some blind and visually impaired people are concerned about how to navigate around new restrictions. A recent survey by the Royal National institute of blind people found that more than half werent confident finding thier way around new layouts. Post lockdown, yes, i am nervous. I am nervous of the two metre distance rule. I am nervous I Cannotjudge distance, i am nervous i do not have 3d vision. I am nervous that i might be breaking the rules and someone will shout at me and say, can you not see where youre going . Friends of a father of two, who died from covid, have been raising money to fulfil one of his final wishes. Femi yussuff had promised his young sons that he would redecorate their bedrooms. Now his family and colleagues have raised more than £5,000 towards the project. It is so touching that they could even think back about about those thoughts and discussions they had at the time and they want to be able to do something as nice as that for the boys as well, we are touched by it. Lets take a look at the Travel Situation now. On the tubes. Earls court rd queues due to the roadworks by the station. Now the weather with elizabeth. Hello, good morning. A frost free start to the day across the capital with temperatures a good few degrees above freezing. Some spells of brightness and a little bit of early sunshine around for a time this morning, lasting longest towards southern areas because cloud will be thickening from the north and then eventually, but not until the end of the day, for southern Home Counties, well see this band of Showery Rain Move its way southwards. A cold front, behind it colder air. We are set to stay in the milderairfor much of the day. Top temperatures in Central London of 11, 12 celsius with a fairly gentle westerly breeze blowing. Through this evening and overnight, our band of Showery Rain Clears Southwards to leave us with a mostly dry night to come but with plenty of cloud. Tonights lowest temperatures will be towards northern Home Counties. Tomorrow there is a band of rain that will be pushing northwards from the near continent. We could see some of this at times again towards the south. There will be quite a lot of cloud. We are in that colder air and it will feel chilly with a cool, north easterly wind. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. Morning live follows breakfast on bbc one.

As well as pubs, restaurants and retail shops, theme parks in england will be opening their doors once again this coming monday. Ir excited about that . It is not my thing. I know for sure there are people who love theme parks. They go week in and week out bypasses. I had not thought of it as something people would be looking forward to. And that includes Blackpool Pleasure Beach, which this year celebrates its 125th anniversary. Danjohnson is there for us this morning to see how preparations are going. Were you a Roller Coaster fan . Did she volunteer for this day of reporting . You. I she volunteer for this day of reporting . You. Reporting . You. Iwas volunteered. Reporting . You.

It has been so long since any of us have done anything this exciting, i was keen to take it on. It has been really exciting. This is the hottest ticket in town. I have the whole theme park to myself this morning. In perhaps a bold move into broadcasting, we are going to try and introduce this report live from a Roller Coaster. I had to wear my mask. This is icon, their nearest Roller Coasters here. What do i need to do . Put my hands up . Put your hands up for me. I am getting strapped in. This is a Roller Coaster that bias you are. Apparently i am going to go from knock 50 in two seconds. That fires you off. This apparently will put me through the g4s equivalent to an f1 car. G force. It is supposed to be twice as quick as an airliner taking off. That is quite something blimey oh, no. There is a lot of work to do here at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, getting ready for the crowds to come back on monday. Here is a bit of the work they have got to do. It is going even quicker. Blackpool, but without its crowds. It is just not right, is it . It doesnt look itself. For the Pleasure Beach, its been the longest Winter Shutdown they have ever known, after the toughest year. Even during the first and second world war, the park remained open to entertain people. Only covid has forced the business to actually close. Newsreel blackpools tower stands out as a happy memory of the rollicking days of peace. Look how times have changed back then, the beaches were packed and the news readers were patronising. Dont be daft, lad, its blackpool. Thas right, love. It is, in all. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is ready. Our Managing Director always says theres a little piece of blackpool in everybody. It holds a very special place in many peoples hearts. Yes, were ready to open our gates and welcome people back again. Some are already eyeing up their place in the queue. I come here 20, 30 times a year from newcastle. That is quite a journey. It is quite a journey. Its about two and a half hours from home to hear. Its something we do that often, were quite used to doing it. Why . I have always loved blackpool, Blackpool Pleasure Beach. We used to come here on Family Holidays when i was about seven or eight and wed always come from then. We do call Pleasure Beach our Pleasure Beach family. We say that for good reason. Theres a lot of people we know who work here and we do keep in touch with them. That theme runs right through. The Pleasure Beach has been owned by the same family for all of its 125 years. There are other families here, keeping the place running. My dad started here in 1958 as an apprentice fitter. This was one of the first rides he worked on. My sister started here in 1982. She still works here now. I started here in 1983. We have worked for three generations of the thomson family. We look after the rides, all the facilities round here. What is it like feeding these . Theyve gone off their food i really dont know why. You can ride some as well in a bit. Ive heard im going to be the tester. You are. The good thing about Pleasure Beach, it� got the classic rides like the classic Roller Coasters like the big dipper, etc. Its got the big rides like the big one. And the newest ride, which is icon. It keeps up with the times as well as looking after its historical rides as well. There is heaps of history here. The flying machines have been in the air since 1904. Archive this is the thrill of freedom and for forgetting your cares. Hey, we could all do with a bit of that now im reliably informed this is the oldest continuously Operating Ride anywhere in europe. Lets face it, its probably the nearest well get to flying anywhere any time soon. This is lovely arhive a thrill today, a memory tomorrow. I getting things moving again still means more work and a few finishing touches. Covid measures are still in place, including masks. All our staff are temperature tested daily and we are also doing lateral flow testing of our staff as well so it is all about giving guests and customers assurances and confidence we are safe and good to go. Are you looking forward to having people back . Were so excited. The whole team here at Blackpool Pleasure Beach cannot wait. I will be there monday and wednesday next week. Twice in a week . Twice in a week, yes. I cannot keep away from the place. Its a great place to come. Everyone loves coming to blackpool. Here we go. This is where i get to make a fool of myself. Ill tell you what, it is high oh, my word i have made it, i am back. These are sacrifices i make in the name of Public Service broadcasting, just to remind people of the fun you can have. I have really enjoyed it. Let me bring in andy stott what is it like having been closed for so long, not having people around to enjoy the rights .

I am lowest if you let it all out and scream. Iam not lowest if you let it all out and scream. I am not sure about hysterical tackling did you say the silent screen is naked . Take us to the big event happening tomorrow. The Grand National is the ultimate Roller Coaster. It is back. Could it finally be the year we see a first female winner . Rachel blackmore needs a race to achieve this. Tabitha is realising her lifetime dream tomorrow. For her it is a family affair. A lifelong dream is about to come true for tabatha worsley. It is causing quite a stir on the family farm as she prepares to ruffle feathers by riding in the Grand National. With her mum georgie, also her trainer, following her rather nervously every step of the way. An absolute quivering wreck. She will be sheet white in the morning. There will be a bit of excitement as well. I think i will spend a lot of time sitting down, absolutely terrifying. It is so exciting. It is dream land, to be honest. I never thought we would have a runner in the Grand National and certainly not ridden by tabatha. Her daughter broke her back in a fall on 2017 before jumping back into the saddle. She has had injuries over the years. You want your children to follow their dreams but i wish she had taken up tiddlywinks. A lot of people would say i am silly. It was one of those things. I have had worse falls. Plenty of jockeys are far worse off. I got back in three months and broke my collarbone. She takes any pain for the team. It includes her brother and sister in law. This is what the Grand National is all about, a tiny Family Stables taking on the elite of the sport. Do not tell the horse to its face it is a rank outsider because it is in good form. We are a tiny little yard. He has top flight form. Thats why he is only 100 1 because of who we are. Both jockey and horse had success over the grand National Fences two years ago. Can they repeat that in the big one, the Grand National itself . Return to the relief of it was cancelled last yearand makes a big return to the relief of everyone around, albeit without the crowds drawing them home. It is behind closed doors. It is running the race. Whoever wins, there is always an amazing story. Whether it is a Rags To Riches story or the first female jockey. So many great tales. An unbelievable opportunity for us as a family. To be doing it as a family, it makes it even more special. We will all be there together and a proper team. This is proof you can dream about stuff and it can actually happen, with my daughter. She said she would ride in the Grand National since she was this high. Sub lieutenant has neverfallen in a race. Do not mention it because they are a superstitious family. They will not be buying new outfits for the occasion. Nothing new. Not new underwear or anything. It will be stuff that has been worn. If we can just get round, it will be unbelievable. We cannot believe it is actually possible. Whatever happens, they have already been celebrating this week with the arrival of a potential aintree in that case, i pronounced it the american way. On the farm, they refer to the horse and dave, named after the man who helped them by the horse. Do not look to him on the betting slip or sweepstakes because he is not in the race. I will be careful. Good luck to everyone tomorrow. It is a very Different Event that the challenge remains exactly the same. It is an event where you get to know is challenging the elite. Minnows. Cast your minds back to this time last year, april 2020, it was the sunniest april on record, warmer than average for this time of year. What a difference a year makes it is cold. Cold air filling its way south across the uk. We are holding on to the Market Conditions this morning for some. Over the next few days you will notice things will feel cold and i will be snow showers around across parts of scotland. Wet and windy weather in the south and south east as well and a return to overnight frosts. All down to the fact we have a cold front working its way south. Hold up to care will come down from the north. The cold air is pushing its way across ireland and down into england and wales. Patchy rain as to whether front flips south. There is sunshine across scotland and Northern Ireland. Sharon is coming down on the brisk northerly wind, falling as snow across scotland. Quite a lot of sunshine. In scotland. Feeling chilly stops the panda cloud across wales, towards east anglia. Much of the south of england sticks with the sunny spells. Is the vicar cloud across wales. Not great for the middle part of april. This evening and tonight, we will lose the cloud gradually in the south of the clearest skies and further snow showers across scotland. Some towns and cities getting down to 3, 4, code in more rural spots. Tomorrow there will be a Weather Front across there will be a Weather Front across the near continent. Cooler and more rural spots. It will be a disappointing day in the likes of kent and essex and east sussex. Away from the south east corner for the rest of the uk, a day of sunny spells and cold wintry showers. Shakiness in the south. A cold feeling day. Still the northerly wind with us. It will be another cold start to the day, sub zero temperatures with a sharp frost testing on sunday. More sunshine on sunday. Proud and patchy showers clearing away. Still a northerly breeze bringing the wintry showers and temperatures not great. Most of us could just about see 10 degrees in the south west. It will warm up if you bear with the weather into next week. For anyone who is managing to go out on monday, hospitality, you will need to wrap up. Bring a brolly as well. The 74th British Academy film awards are being held this weekend at the Royal Albert Hall, honouring the best national and foreign films of the past year. Instead of walking the red carpet, stars will instead be tuning in virtually to see who wins the prestigious awards.

What good to come out of it, we have seen the majority of films still not released on streaming services are quite a lot of the big sounds. They have pushed themselves back. That has given way for a lot of smaller, independent films to have their moment and shine and grab the headlines. Films like sound of metal. Moving forward, i would love the cinema to embrace these firms who have not had their moments on the big screen to be seen by an audience in the cinema. It feels like it is around the corner and were about to get back into cinema. It was so emotional i got to see some films in the little window we had.

Has it changed attitudes . Not in terms of quality that in terms of how they will touch the audience. It is not something i had talked much about. One thing which came out of one of my chants, two people who started their composing career on social network, they are nominated in one category twice. They had to record one school remotely.

Im Annita Mcveigh with the latest headlines the government announces its plans to reopen International Travel in england if you want to go on holiday you will have to pay for a coronavirus test. Airlines argue the cost is too high, and the transport secretary agrees. I think overall, the pricing should be lower and the reason i say that specifically is im looking at whats happening in other countries and i do notice there is a very big variation so we are committing as a government to work to drive those costs down. Have you booked a holiday abroad this summer . Are you willing to pay hundreds of pounds more for a covid test or will you have a staycation in the uk instead . You can get in touch with me on this on twitter, im on Annita Mcveigh and use the hashtag bbc your questions
