Princess anne said her father had left a legacy which can inspire us all. Prince andrew said the queen had described prince Philips Death as having left a huge void in her life. Our royal correspondent Daniela Relph has this report. Itll be a week of reflection here in windsor as the town prepares for the Duke Of Edinburghs funeral. Over the weekend, his children Attended Church In Windsor Great Park and spoke personally of their grief and loss. Its very, very sad. But i have to say that the extraordinary tributes and the memories that everybody has had and been willing to share has been so fantastic. And itjust goes to show he might have been ourfather, grandfather, father in law. But he meant so much to so many other people. Its so lovely for so many people to learn about what he did, because i think its actually, quite a lot of things that have come out would have surprised some people. The countess also spoke to Staff'>Estate Staff who knew the duke. She told them his death had been very peaceful. She said it was as if someone had taken him by the hand and off he went. Princess anne paid her own tribute, releasing this photo of her and herfather at the London Olympics in 2012. The Family Focus is now on protecting and supporting the queen as she mourns. Her son Prince Andrew said after 73 years of marriage, she felt there was now a huge void in her life. Daniela replph, Bbc News, windsor. One of the hundreds of charities he supported was the Burma Star Memoria fund, which is dedicated to the legacy of all those who served in the Allied Forces during the Burma Campaign of the second World War. Lets speak to their chairman, Viscount Slim. Your Grandfather Led to the 14th Army in burma. Thank you very much for talking to us, before we talk about Prince Philip, for our younger audiences, can you give them some insight into the Burma Campaign . Yes, i certainly can. The japanese went on the rampage long before the second World War started, they invaded korea, they put a Puppet Government in place in mongolia, and they invited china as well, and they behaved absolutely barbaric lay towards civilian populations, just like the Nazi Regime did, and there are estimates that they killed somewhere between Ten Million and 20 Million civilians in china during the 1930s before the war even began. When the war did begin, they decided to attack Pearl Harbor because they felt if they could neutralise the american fleet, that would give them more Freedom To Roam in Southeast Asia and conquer other countries, and they were particularly keen to get hold of minerals and oil. They invaded burma and inflicted a very large defeat on the commonwealth army, the british Led Army, and then they regrouped and a0 14th Army, the british Led Army, and then they regrouped and a0 iath army, which at its peak was 1. 25 Million personnel, and they held the japanese just when they got into india, and over the next 18 months forced the japanese all the way back, inflicting a very major defeat on them. And one of the reasons that was important was because the japanese put the biggest Land Army into burma of the whole of the second World War, and they used up a great deal of the resource fighting the british Led Army, the 1ath Army. They lost about 300,000 men killed, and if it hadnt been for 1ath Army making that stand, then the japanese could have applied their resources to the pacific and made those battles even tougher than they already were. Battles even tougher than they already were. Battles even tougher than they alread were. �. , already were. And you said over1 Million personnel already were. And you said over1 Million personnel were already were. And you said over1 Million personnelwere involved, | million personnel were involved, from more than 20 different nations, and this campaign was through thousands and thousands of miles of malaria ridden, deep, densejungle. It was, the front was 700 miles long from the top of england, to the bottom of scotland, just to put it into perspective. Supplies were coming from a long way behind, and it was a very major administrative effort to supply the troops. And they did two things which helped that, first, unusually, the army and the Air Force combined the forces, massed together so that they worked as one unit, and therefore is supplied to the troops in the Front Line so that they didnt have to come back to get the supplies. The Air Force. And they held their ground against the japanese while being supported by them, it was very modern warfare for the time. find being supported by them, it was very modern warfare for the time. Modern warfare for the time. And in terms of prince modern warfare for the time. And in terms of Prince Philip, modern warfare for the time. And in terms of Prince Philip, he modern warfare for the time. And in terms of Prince Philip, he was modern warfare for the time. And in terms of Prince Philip, he was a terms of Prince Philip, he was a patron of the charity for a0 years, why was it important to him to have that relationship . That relationship . Well, Prince Phili had that relationship . Well, Prince Philip had a that relationship . Well, Prince Philip had a very that relationship . Well, Prince Philip had a very distinguished| philip had a very distinguished career in the navy during the second World War, he was mentioned in dispatches at cape matapan, and then he served in Hms Whelp, which was a new class of destroyer which was sent to the pacific, the Pacific Operation of the Royal Navy, where his duties were to escort the british carrier force, his duties were to escort the british carrierforce, including ships such as indefatigable and illustrious. And he had a distinguished career over the last 15 months of the wall, serving in that area. So, yes, he was our patron for over a0 years, he was very special to us. He wasntjust a figurehead, he was really, as far as the veterans were concerned, he was one of them, he fought with them, and he didntjust sit there and say nice things, he got very involved. For example, if there was a veterans march, he didntjust sit watching them go past, he used to get out of his chair and walked to the front of the parade and walk with the men, because he belonged with the men, because he belonged with them, he was part of the campaign. And he was dearly loved, i received some very nice messages from members and supporters, he was very important to us and much loved. Why was the 1ath Army. Why is the 1ath Army sometimes described as the Forgotten Army . Forgotten army . Well, i think a lot of it has to Forgotten Army . Well, i think a lot of it has to do Forgotten Army . Well, i think a lot of it has to do with Forgotten Army . Well, i think a lot of it has to do with distance, Forgotten Army . Well, i think a lot of it has to do with distance, and l Forgotten Army . Well, i think a lot of it has to do with distance, and i | of it has to do with distance, and i think a lot of it has to do with whats on your doorstep, and when you are fighting the might of the nazis in europe, and you are being bombed, i think your attention is very much focused on that from your homeland. When you want to serve in burma, it took you six weeks to get there on a troopship, it was a very long way away, and it was not in the forefront of peoples minds. I think thats changed towards the end of the war, people began to appreciate what had happened. You have to remember that the campaign in burma, the 1ath Army was the largest british Led Army of the whole of the second World War. This wasnt some sort of sideshow, it was a very major conflict, and i think people are now beginning to appreciate that. But they troops call themselves the Forgotten Army. You mentioned Hms Whelp, Prince Philip was actually present in tokyo bay, i understand, when the japanese signed the Surrender Agreement with the Allied Forces, and Hms Whelp then took in Prisoners Of War who had been held in horrific Conditions Ljy had been held in horrific conditions by the japanese, and he, Prince Philip, has talked over the years about how he and his men broke down in tears at the sight of these released prisoners accepting cups of tea. ~ , , tea. Well, yes, the prisoners were treated abysmally, tea. Well, yes, the prisoners were treated abysmally, far tea. Well, yes, the prisoners were treated abysmally, far worse tea. Well, yes, the prisoners were treated abysmally, far worse than | treated abysmally, far worse than any other Nation Treated Prisoners in the second World War. They were starved, they were beaten, they were made to work in very harsh conditions. They were treated to up atrociously, but i think it is interesting to think about tokyo bay, because it was a very important part of world history. This was the end, the final end of the biggest global conflict the world had ever seen, and i always imagine it, when you see this force of 300 allied ships sailing into tokyo bay, led by the uss missouri, where the surrender took place, and anchored next to them, two huge british battleships, the George V and the duke of york, and all these other little ships. And then you had, 200 yards away, 2a Year old Prince Philip watching the whole ceremony through his binoculars. He was always in the thick of the action, and this was before he was a household name. And this was before he was a household name. ,. ,. Household name. Thank you very much for talkin household name. Thank you very much for talking to household name.

Riot police in the united states have used Tear Gas in clashes with hundreds of protesters in a suburb of minneapolis, after an officer shot a Black Man dead who had been pulled over for a traffic violation. The man has been identified by relatives as 20 year old daunte wright. Tensions in minneapolis are high as the trial of the former officer accused of killing George Floyd takes place. Barbara Plett Usher reports. Protesters are gathered in a tense stand off outside the police station. They are shouting, hands up, dont shoot, black lives they matter here. Police are trying to push them back with flares and smoke bombs. The protesters are angry about another Police Shooting of a Black Man which took place on sunday. Police were trying to arrest the man after pulling him over for a traffic violation. All of this is happening just ten miles north of minneapolis where the trial is under way of the former Police Officer Derek chauvin for the killing of George Floyd. The testimony, the third week of testimony, is set to begin on monday. The city is on edge, and this incident has just intensified very strong emotions. The clashes come as local officials in the us state of virginia, have sacked one of the policemen being sued by a black Us Army lieutenant, after two officers pointed their guns and pepper sprayed him during a traffic stop. Lieutenant Caron Nazario alleges violations to his constitutional rights including assault, illegal search and detention. In a statement, the Virginia Town of windsor says it dismissed officerJoe Gutierrez after an internal investigation. Tim allman reports. Get out of the car now open the door, get out of the car guns drawn and tensions high, two Police Officers approach a parked car at a Petrol Station in the us state of virginia. You received an order obey it they flagged the vehicle down, they say, for failing to display license plates. This deemed a high risk stop. In the drivers seat, wearing his uniform, is army Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario. Now whats going on . Get out of the car now officers Joe Gutierrez and Daniel Crocker repeatedly called for him to get out of the vehicle. Lieutenant nazario repeatedly asks why hes been stopped. I didnt do anything. Back up. Then one of the officers starts using pepper spray. Hold on. The soldier, who is black and latino, said he was frightened to unbuckle his Seat Belt, feeling in a confrontation with police he had to keep both hands on display. Take your Seat Belt off and get out of the car eventually, he got out of his car, was forced to the ground and handcuffed. Put your hands behind your back. In the end, he would be released without charge, but Lieutenant Nazario is no longer happy to let things lie. If we hold enough of these officers accountable for these actions, eventually, we wont have another incident like this. And i think thats what one of my clients major aims are with this litigation to try and stop this kind of behaviour. Open the door get out of the car a sentiment perhaps shared by the town of windsor. In a statement, local officials announced thatJoe Gutierrez had been sacked and other officers will now get additional training. They added they were saddened that an incident like this had cast their community in a negative light. Tim allman, Bbc News. The Emergency Services in the Caribbean Island of Saint Vincent have described the country as looking like a Battle Zone after the continuing explosions from La Soufriere volcano. Streets, houses, forests and fields were covered in white ash, and seismologists warn that further eruptions are probable over the next couple of days. Will grant reports. Darkness has descended over Saint Vincent since La Soufriere erupted darkness and ash. The initial eruption threw a huge plume of Smoke And Dust kilometres into the air, which obscured The Sun. The Volcanos Activity later knocked out the power to much of the island. A blanket of white grey Volcanic Ash now Coats Everything in sight homes, buildings, cars and roads. The Dust Cloud even reached the neighbouring island of barbados, and visibility in some places is extremely limited. Saint vincent has closed its airspace, and travel across the wider caribbean has been affected, with many thousands left stranded. I came over here for my mothers funeral. Last minute, our flights were cancelled. We tried to get through to the embassy. Weve had no luck in getting through. Weve had our pre Travel Covid tests. Weve been told to travel again. We need to have a new Covid Test within the 72 hours, before we travel to the uk. Where we can get these done in this current time, i genuinely dont know. We just dont have a clue. Following the first initial explosion, there has been a series of smaller eruptions over the past a8 hours. The question being posed to scientists is, how long could this Go On For . Its very difficult to say. The eruption in 1979 lasted a few months. An eruption in 1982 lasted ten months, although not continuously. So i expect well see quiet periods and then periods when theres perhaps explosions occurring again, which are going to produce more ash, which will be spread across the island. Although La Soufriere is the most active volcano in the eastern caribbean, it has only erupted five times over the past 300 years. Islanders know they are living through a moment of history, but the only aim of residents and authorities alike is to come through it with no loss of life. Will grant, Bbc News.

Retail is as it is ready, it is covid a safe, hospitality can only have people outside for the time being until mid may when they can start getting people back inside.

Businesses here hoping to cash in on a bit of that. Thanks very much, ben. Former prime Minister David Cameron has said he has important lessons to learn over his Lobbying Work on behalf of a financial firm, which has since collapsed. It follows weeks of criticism that he contacted ministers about Greensill Capital. Mr cameron says he didnt break any rules but says he accepts he should have gone through only the most formal of channels. The Labour Party says many serious questions remain unanswered. Well we can speak now to the conservative Mp Sir Benard jenkin Whos Chair of the house of commons liaison committee. Hello. What do you think about what David Cameron did . David cameron did .

Constituents, businesses, everybody is lobbying on the government for things they want or things they think the government should do. Question is, when there are questions of conflict, how did ministers respond . There is not enough conversation about this. What was Greensill Capital doing with a Business Card in the Cabinet Office when he was just a private businessman . What was David Cameron doing. He was at a special adviser. He wasnt a minister.

Is it ok for David Cameron, tony blair, and Gordon Brown to be lobbying in government now . Question is, what are they actually doing . The answer is, nobody should be using their inside contacts they gained at any point. But you cant legislate for that. You cannot have a law which is enforceable ten years after you have left a job which restricts what you can do. Itjust wouldnt work. And whats the problem we are really worried about .

It starts in government, it starts with the attitude of officials, and attitude of ministers, and the way they behave when they are lobbied.

I want to consider that. I think the main thing is we should. Select committees are there to hold the government to account, not private citizens. David cameron is now no more than a private citizen. What we need to do is make sure the government gets a proper conversation going on in government. When there is a new. When the Prime Minister has a new adviser on the ministerial interest, because he resigned last year, the first priority should be for him to conduct or how to conduct an enquiry into all of this. What greensill was doing there, to make sure this kind of thing does not happen again. Thank you very much for your time this morning.

The people of malta have also been mourning the death of the Duke Of Edinburgh. It was the Dukes Home for two years when he and his then Princess Wife were posted there as a young Naval Officer in 19a9. It marked the start of a special bond with the country. 70 years on, Prince Philip remains deep in the affections of many maltese, as our Europe Correspondent Nick beake has been discovering. The young royals fell in love with the majesty of malta 70 years ago, and the feeling was mutual. Today, this once british island is remembering the prince.

After a0 years of neglect, the maltese government has bought and is now restoring the property. A tribute to the british crown, but also to the prince and his personality. Maltese are very warm people. They are not formal, they are very informal. Usually, the monarchy has to be formal so sometimes when the duke would make lapses in his comments and perhaps go a bit too far and receive certain criticism, the maltese would like this because they would say even the duke is human.

After a coup in 1922, his father, Prince Andrew of greece, was banished from the country by a revolutionary court. Still, the duke is being remembered on the island following his passing. Our correspondent, Jenny Hill has more on the Princes Connection to corfu. This of course is where it all began. The church you can see behind me is the greek Orthodox Church in which the young Prince Philip of greece was baptised. His Family Home Isnt far from where i am standing. But, of course, the young prince didnt spend very long on this island. He was just 18 months old when his family was forced to flee among conflict and great political instability. A dramatic escape by all accounts having a british warship. The young prince, apparently, carried to safety in the kind of wooden crate used to transport oranges. It was the beginning of a pretty turbulent childhood for Prince Philip as his family moved around all over europe, and they actually split up. We are told the Duke Of Edinburgh never returned to the island of his birth. Nevertheless, they will tell you here that they still feel a pretty strong connection to the duke, to the british Royal Family. I spoke with the mayor of corfu who sent a special letter of condolence to the queen, the british Royal Family, who says that they do still feel that time. There is an expat population here in corfu. In addition to that, this island is apparently a favourite destination of prince charles, the Duke Of Edinburghs son. He said to be a regular visitor. Just last month he paid an official visit to the mainland during that trip to athens. He talked of his deep affection for this part of the world, and the familial connection he still feels for it.

Youre watching Bbc News. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol. Hello again. Weve just had the coldest April Night in the uk since april 2013, the temperature fell to minus 9. A celsius in Tulloch Bridge in the highlands. Now, were going to have frost as we go through the next few nights, but we are looking also at sunshine and showers, some of which will be wintry. You can see the Blue Hue across the charts, but tuesday and wednesday in the west, not quite as cold. Then we see a return to more of a northeasterly coming in off the North Sea, so in the east, it will be colder. But what we have today is this Weather Front draped across some central and western parts of the uk. Thats whats produced this mornings snow. Some of us woken Up To a covering. And as we go through the rest of this morning, it will Continue to push down towards the South And Southeast this afternoon, leaving us with a largely dry afternoon, and some scattered showers. In some of the heavy rains in the north this afternoon, there may still be some wintriness. But for most of us, it should remain dry. Temperatures six to about 10 11 degrees, so below average for this stage in april. As we head on through the evening and overnight, temperatures under those Clear Skies will fall away quite quickly. Again, therell be a few showers to start with. Many of them will fade, but thicker cloud across western scotland, northwest england and Northern Ireland will produce some showers, and here temperatures wont fall away as far. Elsewhere, were looking at temperatures widely below freezing and indeed across parts of northeast scotland, as low as minus five or indeed minus six. So as we head through tomorrow, High Pressure is still firmly in charge of our weather, hardly a breath of wind. A bit more cloud bubbling up as we go through the course of the day after that frosty start. But to start with, certainly therell be a lot of sunshine. So with this cloud, a peppering of showers, especially in western areas, but spreading a bit farther eastwards through the course of the afternoon. And temperatures, well, better than today. Were looking at widely between about ten and 12 degrees, with the odd exception to that rule. High pressure still very much with us from tuesday into wednesday, so overnight once again, under Clear Skies, there will be some frost around, a risk of ice on untreated surfaces just here and there. And after a bright, sunny start through the day again, we will see more clouds spread out and develop, producing the odd shower. But for most, it is going to remain dry. Temperatures by then eight to about 13 degrees, but always feeling cooler along the North Sea coastline. This is Bbc News. Im lukwesa burak.

Lets cross to holyrood, where members of the Scottish Parliament are paying tribute to the Duke Of Edinburgh. May ask you all to stand and join me in one minutes silence. Thank you very much. Thank you, colleagues Thank You very much. Thank you, colleagues i Thank You very much. Thank you, colleagues. I now invite to the first colleagues. I now invite to the First Minister, if i can, to move and First Minister, if i can, to move and do First Minister, if i can, to move and do speak to the motion. First minister, ifi can, to move and do speak to the motion. Residing officer, the tributes and do speak to the motion. Residing officer, the tributes paid and do speak to the motion. Residing officer, the tributes paid to and do speak to the motion. Residing officer, the tributes paid to the officer, the tributes paid to the Duke Of Edinburgh over these past three days show the affection in which he was held, here in scotland, across the united kingdom and around the world. On behalf of the people of scotland, i express my deepest sympathy to Her Majesty the queen, who is grieving the loss of her Strength And Stay, her husband of almost 7a years. And also to his children and the wider Royal Family. Before he became the public figure so familiar to All Of Us today, the Duke Of Edinburgh had already led a life of distinction. Like so many of his generation, he endured difficulties and faced danger is that generations since can barely come ahead. As a Naval Officer in World War ii, he was mentioned in dispatches for his part in a battle. In 19a3, his courage and quick thinking helped save Hms Wallace from attack in the mediterranean. During a two year spell, he was responsible for escorting Merchant Vessels on a route known as U Boat Alley because of the attacks from german vessels. Because of these contributions alone, he like all of our veterans is owed a significant debt of gratitude. The second World War was just the debt of gratitude. The second World War wasjust the beginning of debt of gratitude. The second World War was just the beginning of the duke of Edinburghs Life of Public Service. From 19a7, he was the queen � s constant companion, and then he was her consort. He became the longer serving consort in british history. That role in a Constitutional Monarchy cannot be an easy one, particularly perhaps for someone who is spirited and energetic by temperament. Of course, he faced the additional challenge of being the husband of a powerful woman at the time and that was even more of an exception than it is today. That reversal of the more traditional dynamic was highly unusual in the 19 a0s, 1950s and 19605, unusual in the 19 a0s, 1950s and 1960s, and even now is not as common as it might be. Yet the Duke Of Edinburgh was devoted to supporting the queen. They were a true partnership. Indeed, like First Ministers before me, i got to witness the strength of that partnership in close quarters. I always enjoyed my conversations with the Duke Of Edinburgh on these visits, and all of the occasions that i met him. I was struck by how different he was in private to the way he was sometimes characterised in public. He was a thoughtful man, deeply interesting, and fiercely intelligent. He was also a serious bookworm, which i am as well, so talking about the books we were reading was often for me a real highlight of our conversations. Prince philip was, without doubt, a devoted consort to the queen. But he also carved out a distinctive individual role. He took a particular interest in industry and science, and he was far sighted in his early support for conservation. As far back as 1969, in a speech here in edinburgh, he warned of the risks virtually indestructible plastics. In 1956, he founded the duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which now every year provides opportunity, Hope And Inspiration to more than1 Million opportunity, Hope And Inspiration to more than 1 Million young people opportunity, Hope And Inspiration to more than1 Million young people in more than1 Million young people in more than1 Million young people in more than 100 different countries across the world. In addition, the Duke Of Edinburgh was patron of more than 800 charities. At the time of his retirement from royal duties, he had completed well over 20,000 engagements. Many of these were here in scotland, a country that he loved from a very early age. He was educated here, talk to sale by a scottish Trawler Skipper and was based here for two years during the war. When the duke received the freedom of the city Of Edinburgh, he spoke of the benefits that scotland had given him. Some of his first duties with the royal household were undertaken here in scotland. Injuly 19a7, just a week after the announcement of his engagement to that then princess elizabeth, the couple travelled here to edinburgh. Since then, he has been present at many of the key moments of our modern history, including the official opening of our Scottish Parliament. He has served many scottish charities and organisations, he was chancellor of the university Of Edinburgh for more than 50 years. Throughout all of that time, the public has held him in great affection. On that First Royal Visit to edinburgh in 19a7, people gathered across The Street in the forecourt of Holyrood Palace and celebrated the royal engagement with country dancing. More than 70 years later, shortly after he had announced his retirement from public life, i witness the warmth of the reception he received as he accompanied the queen to the opening of the queensferry crossing. He was determined to attend it, he was fascinated and impressed by the feats of engineering that each of the three Forth Bridges represented. One of his early engagements in scotland shortly after the Queens Correlation was to plant a Cherry Tree in the grounds of Canongate Kirk, across the road from here. It stands opposite the tree planted by the queen a year previously. They are just about to bloom, as the queen a year previously. They arejust about to bloom, as im sure they will do each spring for decades to come. I am equally sure that not just in the weeks ahead but many weeks from now, people will think fondly of the Duke Of Edinburgh as they pass Canongate Kirk and look across to Holyrood Palace. It is right that our parliament pays tribute to him today. In doing so, we mourn his passing and we extend our deepest since the two Her Majesty the queen and to their family. We reflect on his distant wish wartime record, his Love And Support for the queen and his decades of Public Service to scotland, the united kingdom and the commonwealth. Above all, we celebrate and we honour an extraordinary life or stop i moved a motion in my name. Extraordinary life or stop i moved a motion in my name. Thank you very much, First Motion in my name.

I call on Ruth Davies. , ,. Davies. Grief is the price we pay for love. The davies. Grief is the price we pay for love. The queen davies. Grief is the price we pay for love. The queen was davies. Grief is the price we pay i for love. The queen was speaking davies. Grief is the price we pay for love. The queen was speaking on behalf of the nation when she said those words 20 years ago. Grief is the price we pay for love. I cannot imagine what it is like to be married to someone for 73 years, and i cannot imagine what it is to have to get up and face every future day without them. What that absence feels like. I think the recognition of the enormity of such a loss has led so many in the past few days to look past the titles and A1 Gun Salute and have such a sense of feeling for Her Majesty on a human level. For most of us in this chamber and outside it, our picture of His Royal Highness the Duke Of Edinburgh is often elderly man, active, vigorous, gruff, witty, still able to stand ramrod straight, but by the fact of reaching 99 years old a person has been of pensionable age for decades. So for my generation and those after, the dashing young Naval Officer in his 20s, that husband made consort, that Prince Philip only exists in use footage. Here is a man that was born before the discovery of penicillin, before the discovery of penicillin, before the discovery of penicillin, before the creation of the United Nations or the invention of the television orjet engine. A moderniser he was in life as in work. How many men in the 1950s gave up work. How many men in the 1950s gave Up Theirjobs for their wifes up their jobs for their wifes career, Up Theirjobs for their wifes career, how many walked behind their spouse or accepted that their children would never take their surname . Is Barack Obama wrote, he showed the world what it meant to be a supportive husband to a powerful woman. If that was all he had done, undertaking his bow at the coronation to be a Leech Man in life and limb, that would have been enough liegeman in life and limb. He was a natural sailor and horseman. Yet interests and passions on issues that he wanted to drive forward, and he focused on engineering, youth, outdoors and conservation. A life that could have easily have been a shallow wave, a Ribbon Cutting before moving on to the next one, he showed dedication to the organisations he champion. 20 years as the president of W B F uk, which he helped found. Wwf that he helped found. While he was a huge supporter of the universitys academic excellence, opening buildings and conferring degrees, he was a particular supporter of the sometimes wild celebrations surrounding the installation of any new rector, getting them into trouble when one such affair was too sedate for his liking. He supported the botanic gardens, the Royal Zoological Society and the royal british legion. He was no stranger to holyrood, both the palace and the parliament, numerous Leaf Hosting Representatives from the latter in the former. The duke turned to the Tory Leader to ask if she had a pair of knickers made out of the tartan, and quite properly she retorted, i couldnt possibly comment and even if i did, i couldnt possibly exhibit them. It is no wonder that when asked to sum up his grandparents connection, Prince William said preset, he makes her laugh. There is been coverage in the dukes death, much of it coloured by peoples own views on the institution of the monarchy. Anyone who in their life fought in World War ii, set up an organisation to help young people build resilience and change the course of their lives for the better, who helped found the worlds largest Conservation Charity to save endangered Species Act gave of his time to help 800 individual charities and who was still working well into his 90s, deserves to have that life recognised. As the queen remarked on their golden wedding anniversary, he does not take easily to components, so he would probably hate all the fuss. So to achieve all of that, while undertaking your greatestjob of that, while undertaking your greatest job and of that, while undertaking your greatestjob and duty, to be partner, friend and confident for 73 years to the monarchy, always two steps behind, supporting the queen, being her Strength And Stay all these years, is a life of remarkable Public Service. As an exiled prince, he came to scotland as a boy and his time here checked the man he would become. His relationship with scotland endured and it was woven into the service he gave to the united kingdom and commonwealth. On behalf of myself and my party, i will support this motion of condolence. I offer our sincere condolences to her children, grandchildren, Great Grandchildren and two Her Majesty the queen. Thank and two her maesty the queen. Thank ou. You. May i you. May i associate these you. May i associate these benches with the tribute paid to His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, the Duke Of Edinburgh. We lost and extort no public servant to dedicated his life to our country and transformed lives across the world. On behalf of the entire scottish Labour Party, i offer my condolences to Everyone Morning here and across the commonwealth, all his Loved Ones, the royalfamily, his children, grandchildren, and Great Grandchildren, and in particular Her Majesty the queen. For more than seven decades, Prince Philip was a constant at the queens side. None of us can even begin to understand the pressure of being monarch, in what has been described as a lonelyjob. Much has been written about how she cherished the support of a husband. While their lives have been different to ours, we can sympathise what it means to lose a Loved One. The queen has lost her beloved husband after spending more than 70 years together. I cant even imagine how that must feel, add my thoughts and prayers are with Her Majesty in the difficult times ahead. Unlike others in the chamber, i never had the privilege of meeting Prince Philip, so i am afraid i dont have any personal anecdotes that i can contribute to the tributes that people have heard today and in recent days. I was struck by one personal anecdote that some i have heard in recent days on tv and radio. It came from a man called john watts, who was jailed at the age of 17. He recalled that there were lots of alcohol and no aspirations for people like me, is what he said. While in prison, he came across the Duke Of Edinburgh award, which he said gave him a sense of new direction. He camped out for the first award not on a scottish Mountain Side but in a tent on the artificial grass on the prison football pitch. John went on to get the bronze, Silver And Gold award while serving a six year sentence. The skill he learned during the programme was cooking, and upon leaving prison he set up his own catering business, now helping other young people to learn new skills and find newjobs. It saved my life, john said last week. That is one life that the prince helped save. There will be countless others from different walks of life. There are millions of other young people from all walks of life who are reaching their full potential thanks to the duke of end of award, from the princes own school, and across the uk and the world. Im sure im not the only parent who has helped their children with the duke of edible award across the country as well. When he launched the boards, he said, if you can get a young person to succeed in any one activity, that feeling will spread into many others. In the difficult year faced into many others. In the difficult yearfaced by into many others. In the difficult year faced by many young people during the pandemic, his words are just as relevant today. A reminder of the elective national mission we face in the years ahead to make your every Child Forfull Step face in the years ahead to make your every child for full step potential. I recognise his lasting contribution to our country. I extend my sympathies to everyone who has loved a Loved One in this most difficult of years. Thank you. A Loved One in this most difficult of years. Thank you. Thank you. I now call patrick of years. Thank you. Thank you. I now call patrick harvey. Of years. Thank you. Thank you. I now call patrick harvey. Thank i of years. Thank you. Thank you. I i now call patrick harvey. Thank you. Ma i oin now call patrick harvey. Thank you. May ijoin the now call patrick harvey. Thank you. May i join the other now call patrick harvey. Thank you. May i join the other leaders now call patrick harvey. Thank you. May i join the other leaders and i may ijoin the other leaders and offering my sincere condolences to Prince Philips family, friends and all of those who will miss him. In this chamber, as in this country, we do not all share the same views of the monarchy. All the same feelings today. It would be wrong to pretend that we did. As a party that wishes for an elected head of state, we reflected carefully on whether and how we should take part in todays proceedings. Butjust as it would be wrong to give a performance of feeling not sincerely felt, it would equally be felt to imply by our absence any kind of personal disrespect to those who have lost someone important to them, whether personally or otherwise. This has been a year of terrible loss for the world. Including Up To 150,000 deaths across the uk, most of them announced without ceremony as daily statistics. The toll has been heaviest on those with least. But while there is no great leveller in how we live our lives, we are today reminded that there is no extreme of wealth, Privilege Or Status which can protect us from mortality. Every Human Being is indeed equal in this respect, death comes to us all, and every family faces the pain of loss. So regardless of our different views, Respect And Compassion are due in equal measure to everyone of us at such times. Such moments bring pain to family and friends and for a public figure like Prince Philip, others will share that paint to a greater or lesser degree. Death is also part of lifes cycle, bringing also part of lifes cycle, bringing a change of generations was not those who come after will build on the legacy of what they have been left but will also rethink, reinvent and alter course. They still own much to those who went before, who may have lived by different values. Many have spoken about Prince Philips environment till ism. Todays Environmental Movement overwhelmingly places responsibility for the global crisis on the powerful, and would not seek to reconcile conservation with the Blood Sport of the wealthy. It is still the case that a debt is owed to those whose environmentalism did achieve global awareness, even if it was shaped by different values than todays. It is said that Prince Philip wished to modernise the monarchy, and No Doubt in time it will again consider if it can do so. How a royalfamily will again consider if it can do so. How a Royal Family can keep will again consider if it can do so. How a royalfamily can keep pace with the modern democratic society it is meant to serve, and respect they diversity of that society in its words and deeds. Others will question whether it can. That debate is not for today, today is to extend our thoughts to his family and all those who are grieving for the Loved Ones in a spirit of respect of the equal value of every human life. Thank you. Equal value of every human life. Thank you equal value of every human life. Thank ou. Thank you. Can i call Willie Rennie . I wish to associate Thank You. Can i call Willie Rennie . I wish to associate myself Thank You. Can i call Willie Rennie . I wish to associate myself with Thank You. Can i call Willie Rennie . I wish to associate myself with all. I wish to associate myself with all of the fitting tributes from today and over the weekend . I used to wear and over the weekend . I used to wear a badge on my lapel, it was a little blue man. The Duke Of Edinburgh spotted it at a reception. He bounced up, demanding to know what it was. To show support for the prostate cancer campaign, i said. He looked at me closely, he said, have you got it or are you against it . Then he bounced off again. The engagement was only 30 seconds long, but it has stayed with me, to be retold many times over the years. He left a lasting impression is with so many others as well. Some less repeatable than others, but so many were fun and memorable. Sometimes they were offended, but i dont share The View that he was an offensive man. For so many, he has been part of a family that has provided Comfort And Stability in what can be a turbulent and intimidating world. Decades of Public Service through his 99 years with us. His steadfast presence when so much is changing. His support for the queen, his wife, loyal service to family and country. Strength and stay. His weight behind charities, especially the environment. All of those are good things, and we should cherish good things. My two boys have been axis in the duke of end of award, have been active. Stephen is still working through, with expeditions and cooking, to our great benefit, but also Mountain Biking as well. His impact on my family has been great. His impact on millions of others has been utterly outstanding. Learning new skills, meeting new people, showing leadership, building teams, maturing, growing. Hundreds of thousands of young people participate in the programme every yearin participate in the programme every year in countries across the globe. In scotland alone, 20,000 started the programme last year. 11,000 achieved awards in that year. The reach is astonishing. It was the Duke Of Edinburghs inspiration all those years ago, and it has blossomed under his leadership. Changing lives for ever. That is a lasting legacy to be proud of. So to the queen and to herfamily, all our thoughts are with you today. For everything Prince Philip, i think we also Thank You. Everything Prince Philip, i think we also Thank You everything Prince Philip, i think we also Thank You. Thank you very much. Can i also Thank You. Thank you very much. Can i thank also Thank You. Thank you very much. Can i thank all also Thank You. Thank you very much. Can i thank all of also Thank You. Thank you very much. Can i thank all of the also Thank You. Thank you very much. Can i thank all of the party also Thank You. Thank you very much. Can i thank all of the party leaders i can i thank all of the party leaders for their can i thank all of the party leaders for their contributions and all members for attending this morning. That was members for attending this morning. That was a members for attending this morning. That was a special session that has been taking place at holyrood as the parliament was recalled. Only the sixth time that has happened. Lorna gordon is in holyrood. A significant moment . Yes, parliament is recalled very rarely. Most recently, politicians returned here injanuary most recently, politicians returned here in january to discuss most recently, politicians returned here injanuary to discuss the covid 19 pandemic, but Today Party leaders returned to pay tribute to the life of Prince Philip, and to the life of Prince Philip, and to the contributions he made to society, most notably here in scotland. Of course, the First Minister said this was a country that Prince Philip love from a very early age. She said she got to witness the strength of the partnership between Her Majesty the queen and the Duke Of Edinburgh annually during the First Ministers stays at barra moral. She said she found its full of a thoughtful, deeply interesting, intelligent man, and they shared a great love of books. He was present at key moments in scottish history, including the opening of this parliament. It was then the turn of ruth davidson, who was leading for the scottish conservatives here. She recalled the words of the queen, grief is the price we pay for love. She noted, as did nicola sturgeon, that Prince Philip was supportive of a powerful woman in an era perhaps when that was far less common. She drew attention to the contributions he made in particular supporting the patronage is of organisations here in the city. He was the chancellor of the university here for 57 years. Also, of course, she pointed out those moments of humour for which the prince was well known, perhaps here most notably a moment that he had with a member of the former scottish conservatives, with eight shared a joke about where they see at a joke about tartan. The scottish Labour Leader said that he had not met Prince Philip, but he related the story of a man who was imprisoned and found purpose in his life or taking part in the of Edinburgh Award Scheme. He extended his sympathy to everyone in these difficult times, the queen, and those thousands who have lost Loved Ones to covid 19. Patrick harvey, the scottish greens, they wish for an elected head of state, but he said that the debate on retaining the monarchy is not for today, today is for paying respect to the Royal Family and to the queen. That was a sentiment also reflected by Willie Rennie, the leader of the liberal democrats. He said that Prince Philip has dedicated his life to decades of Public Service, and to supporting the queen and the country. He said, just last year, 20,000 people here in scotland, young people, started the Duke Of Edinburgh programme. That Programme Change lives for ever, and it was a lasting legacy for which the Duke Of Edinburgh could be proud. Thank lasting legacy for which the Duke Of Edinburgh could be proud. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol. Hello again. Some of us woke up this morning to some sleet and some snow. Now, that will Continue to push away towards the south and the south east, clearing early afternoon, leaving us with a largely dry day, a fair bit of sunshine, and some scattered showers. Most of the showers will be of rain, but in some of the heavier bursts, you might see a rebate of wintriness. Temperatures six in the north, about ten or 11 as we come further south. Through this evening and overnight, temperatures falling away quite rapidly. The showers will also fade. But out towards the west, there will be thicker cloud producing some showers, and that cloud will help maintain the Temperature Level as we go through the night. But for many of us, another widespread frost, with temperatures falling below freezing, possibly minus five, minus six in parts of the highlands. Now, tomorrow we start off on that frosty night, but a lot of sunshine, a lot of dry weather. Through the day, a bit more cloud will develop, and well see more showers than we are going to today, with temperatures of six in the north to 12 13 as we come down towards the south. Hello.

Matsuyama became the first japanese man to win a major title with his green jacket now forever marking him a masters champion. But after going into sunday with a a shot lead, the final Round Wasnt quite as comfortable as he would have liked, as Andy Swiss reports. A moment of victory, and history. For hideki matsuyama, and forjapan, a first masters title, but not without a little drama. It had seemed a victory procession. Matsuyama was four clear with just four holes left. But then he found the water. And his playing partner, xander schauffele, found a birdie. Suddenly, the american wasjust two behind. But at the very next hole it was schauffeles turn to make a costly error, and his hopes disappeared with it. Still it wasnt over though, as the unheralded will zalatoris posted a target some performance on his masters debut. But after his wobble, matsuyama held his nerve and tapped in for triumph. The celebrations might have been understated, but the achievement was huge the first japanese man to win any major championship, a moment for him and for his country to savour. Andy swiss, Bbc News. Congratulations, hideki. Thank you. Another bit of golfing history at augusta. Matsuyama looked pretty relieved didnt he to slip into the famous green jacket.

Our royal correspondent Daniela Relph has this report. Itll be a week of reflection here in windsor as the town prepares for the Duke Of Edinburghs funeral. Over the weekend, his children Attended Church In Windsor Great Park and spoke personally of their grief and loss. Its very, very sad. But i have to say that the extraordinary tributes and the memories that everybody has had and been willing to share has been so fantastic. And itjust goes to show he might have been ourfather, grandfather, father in law. But but he meant so much to so many other people. Its so lovely for so many people to learn about what he did, because i think its actually, quite a lot of things that have come out would have surprised some people. The countess also spoke to Staff'>Estate Staff who knew the duke. She told them his death had been very peaceful. She said it was as if someone had taken him by the hand and off he went. Princess anne paid her own tribute, releasing this photo of her and herfather at the London Olympics in 2012. Of his death, she said, you know its going to happen, but youre never really ready. We will miss him, but he leaves a legacy which can inspire us all. The Family Focus is now on protecting and supporting the queen as she mourns. Her son Prince Andrew said after 73 years of marriage, she felt there was now a huge void in her life. Daniela relph, Bbc News, windsor.

We look to similar days in the future, wonderfully inspiring occasions. Do you have your gold . It did not take place in my particular school, in the 80s. I would like to think i made up for that by pitching in with the Award Scheme in my present days. What was it like working with Prince Philip on the duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme .

Again the palace, they are about to receive a Gold Award and be presented to the Duke Of Edinburgh. There is a sense of nervousness that goes on. The Duke Of Edinburgh had a way of not simply putting young people at their ease that having them rocking with laughter, such was his rep that he and his chat with them along those lines, and sense of humour. One thing that meant such a lot to him, he wanted to hearfrom the young people about their experience, taking part enabled, how they felt about it, and how they were passing that experience onto others in an encouraging way. He wanted to hear all about that. Not just a quick chat and onto the next group. He really cared and wanted to know how they felt. Know how they felt. Talking to young artici ants know how they felt. Talking to young participants of know how they felt. Talking to young participants of this know how they felt. Talking to young participants of this game, know how they felt.

Here was an amazing platform. To use that to inspire people notjust in a manner that was a quick hit that any that was going to last their whole life and the next generation would enjoy in the same way. It has been in existence for 66 years or more now. This is. I think that was of immense satisfaction to him. Do i think that was of immense satisfaction to him.

There are many more aspects to life in a more practical way, a sense of experience, getting out and get a sense of what you can do. He saw it in that four dimensional way and felt it was very important this was a manner to learn, the academic side as well as getting out there. That pragmatism. When we first started chatting, we talked about youngsters rocking with laughter. He was comfortable to deviate from protocol in the right circumstances. What did the youngsters come away with .

There was one occasion, backin of that. There was one occasion, back in march 2013, a presentation in a Picture Gallery at stjamess palace. There was a painting on the wall of a comet, a crescent moon, at the time of the Setting Sun. In the Twilight Sky that evening, the comet was visible at the time of the Setting Sun with a crescent moon. This painting was depicting the Night Sky from that very night. That is something me and the young people enjoyed talking about. The Duke Of Edinburgh was fascinated by that as well. He said, the painting is of the Night Sky tonight, that is of news to me. I the Night Sky tonight, that is of news to me news to me. Iwill check. I am impressed news to me. Iwill check. I am impressed he news to me. Iwill check. I am impressed he managed news to me.

Lets Ta Ke lets take you to central london. These are customers enjoying the new easing of restrictions. That is a pad. People enjoying a drink. Pub. Now its time for a look at the weather. Hello again. Weve just had the coldest April Night in the uk since april 2013, the temperature fell to minus 9. 4 celsius in Tulloch Bridge in the highlands. Now, were going to have frost as we go through the next few nights, but we are looking also at sunshine and showers, some of which will be wintry. You can see the Blue Hue across the charts, but tuesday and wednesday in the west, not quite as cold. Then we see a return to more of a northeasterly coming in off the North Sea, so in the east, it will be colder. But what we have today is this Weather Front draped across some central and western parts of the uk. Thats whats produced this mornings snow. Some of us woken Up To a covering. And as we go through the rest of this morning, it will Continue to push down towards the South And Southeast this afternoon, leaving us with a largely dry afternoon, and some scattered showers. In some of the heavy rains in the north this afternoon, there may still be some wintriness. But for most of us, it should remain dry. Temperatures six to about 10 11 degrees, so below average for this stage in april. As we head on through the evening and overnight, temperatures under those Clear Skies will fall away quite quickly. Again, therell be a few showers to start with. Many of them will fade, but thicker cloud across western scotland, northwest england and Northern Ireland will produce some showers, and here temperatures wont fall away as far. Elsewhere, were looking at temperatures widely below freezing and indeed across parts of northeast scotland, as low as minus five or indeed minus six. So as we head through tomorrow, High Pressure is still firmly in charge of our weather, hardly a breath of wind. A bit more cloud bubbling up as we go through the course of the day after that frosty start. But to start with, certainly therell be a lot of sunshine. So with this cloud, a peppering of showers, especially in western areas, but spreading a bit farther eastwards through the course of the afternoon. And temperatures, well, better than today. Were looking at widely between about ten and 12 degrees, with the odd exception to that rule. High pressure still very much with us from tuesday into wednesday, so overnight once again, under Clear Skies, there will be some frost around, a risk of ice on untreated surfaces just here and there. And after a bright, sunny start through the day again, we will see more clouds spread out and develop, producing the odd shower. But for most, it is going to remain dry. Temperatures by then eight to about 13 degrees, but always feeling cooler along the North Sea coastline. This is Bbc News. The headlines long queues in the High Streets as shops reopen borisjohnson asks everyone to behave responsibly as england takes its next step out of lockdown.

Aru na iyengar reports. Opening its doors at midnight. Regulars at this Huddersfield Pub have been waiting for this moment for months. What used to be taken for granted now a luxury to be savoured. Drinking could only take place outdoors, so was the chilly weather a put off . It was snowing earlier, but i was still going to come out. Just put my coat on after 14 months of not going anywhere except funerals, its a great plus. We didnt even know if anyone was going to come. Its in huddersfield, its midnight, its freezing cold. And if you look, everyones come. There isnt a single table that people havent arrived at. Thousands of businesses are reopening under the next phase of covid restriction easing. In england, shops can open, pubs and restaurants can serve customers outdoors. Hairdressers, salons, gyms and outdoor attractions like zoos and Theme Parks can now be visited. In wales, Nonessential Shops can reopen today, but it will be a few more weeks until pubs can do the same. Travel restrictions across the border have been eased, and most children are back in school. And in scotland, most children will return to school unless theyre shielding. Some are still closed for easter holidays. In Northern Ireland, all children are back in school. The stay at Home Message is being relaxed, and Up To ten people from two households can meet in a private garden. In a statement, prime Minister Boris Johnson struck a cautious tone. He said, i urge everyone to Continue to behave responsibly and remember, hands, face, space and fresh air to suppress covid as we push on with our vaccination programme. But theres no stopping the enthusiasm of Pub Landlords as they prepare to pull the pints. This pub in bexleyheath applied for a temporary licence to open at midnight. I think weve come through the woods, so im hoping that this is sort of a rebirth, almost, and that were open now for the foreseeable. The next big date for hospitality will be may the 17th, when hopefully customers will be able to enjoy a meal and a drink indoors. Aruna iyengar, Bbc News. The easing of lockdown must come as a relief for people In Leicester, who have been living under some form of restrictions for more than a year. Martine croxall is there and has been spending the morning in a pub garden. Over the unexpectedly in the spotlight, explaining the various aspects of coronavirus and the pandemic to us as members of the public. One of them is doctorjulian tang, a clinical virologist from the university of leicester. Lovely to meet you here In Leicester. Instead of talking to you down the line. Thank you forjoining us. The easing of restrictions, when it comes to pubs and restaurants, is serving out site has several advantages. You have a low site has several advantages. Ml. Have a low occupancy, low density to reduce the virus, you have The Sunlight and the breeze to move the virus away and sterilise it to some extent.

We will have to see how these variants develop, and how the Vaccine Roll up develops and how we take up the vaccine.

If you find that children are spread in the virus in a significant manner, you may need to reduce School Attendance and crowding. So it all has to be kept under review .

L A Little Bit more like normal . I think where you are not eating and drinking, if you keep the mask on indoors, even outdoors if you are around a lot of people.

But temptation to run out and live life as we used to, we are not quite there yet. People in wales can now travel to and from the rest of the uk and Nonessential Shops, along with close contact services, including tattoists and beauticians, can reopen. Tomos morgan is in tintern, a village on the border. As you can see behind me, they have got a self contained accommodation here. They have been open for a couple of weeks, but this place and many accommodations, Tourist Accommodation in wales, are really heavily reliant on people crossing the border into wales. The guy who owns this place, richard, suggested that Up To 80 of his business come from over the border. It is only really today that he will think you will make any money here. Another Accommodation Facility up the Road Hasnt opened until today because of that reason. This is a pub with rooms, and of course in wales, although outdoor hospitality is reopening in england, it will not be opening in wales until the end of the month. There are envious eyes going across the board, even that have the marquee up and ready for the 26th here. Outdoor hospitality not opening until the 26, and the same for gyms, they will not open until the 3rd of may. There has been some frustration from that sector as well. You mentioned some things easing today. All education, Fa Ce to Fa Ce easing today. All education, face to Face Education in schools has restarted from today, and shops in the High Street, and close Contact Beauty have also restarted. Hairdressers were already open, so those will remain as usual. A big day for wales, but not quite as big as over the border, just a stones throw over the river here in ten free macro today.

We should say that comes from a pretty low base last week, not many people out and about shopping, but nonetheless suggesting that there is an appetite to get back out there, which will be welcome news for all sorts of businesses up and down the country as those nonessential stores can finally reopen. The former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is calling on the worlds richest countries to take urgent action to achieve Mass Vaccination around the world. He wants the leaders of the g7 to commit to a £22 Billion programme, when the group meets in cornwall injune. Well, we can speak now to him now, he joins us from fife. Thank you very much for speaking to us. You have described this, the need for a herculean push in terms of global vaccination, what would that look like . I think we have done brilliantly to get nearly 70 of adults in britain vaccinated. But if only i of adults in sub saharan africa are vaccinated, then no one is really safe. Nobody will be safe until everybody is safe. If we dont vaccinate Africa And Asia and the middle east in 2021 and 2022 and you dont even complete by 2023, the disease will spread. It will Continue to mutate and will come back to haunt us, affecting lives and livelihoods. So we open up the economy brilliantly now and we have to close down because another version of the virus comes into the country because we havent had vaccination in some poorer parts of the world. I am saying this is a small price to pay to get the world vaccinated and to make the Economy Work again and to make people safe. I hope that onjune the 13th, when borisjohnson i hope that onjune the 13th, when Boris Johnson convenes i hope that onjune the 13th, when borisjohnson convenes this summit, they can agree on a burden sharing formula so each pays a share so we can get vaccination into all the countries where it is not happening at the moment. You countries where it is not happening at the moment. At the moment. You have quoted a filure of at the moment. You have quoted a figure of £22 at the moment.

Look, i chaired the g20 into i look, i chaired the g20 into thousand nine and we had to raise 1 trillion. This is 22 Billion for this year, we will prop have to do it next year. The best way is to agree a formula, america paying about 25 , Europe And Britain another 25 , japan around 8 , and then get the rest of the world, russia, china, the oil states, scandinavia paying their share. The poorer countries who cannot afford to pay, we will help them vaccinate their people so we are free of the scourge of this as well as them. Loath . Scourge of this as well as them. Why is it such a scourge of this as well as them. Why is it such a struggle to get this message across . It is obvious and, like you say, the money is there. So why are we talking about seeing this . It is partly because we adopt this begging bowl that you just ask people, give what you can, and some countries are now saying we are giving vaccines but not money, and others are giving money but not vaccines. You really need a more sustained approach because this is a disease that has to be brought under control. Just as you need the best science to get the vaccine, aided the best science to get to the full figure without simply relying on a Charity Fundraiser Approach which is what were doing at the moment was to be testable systematic. The g7 of the wealthiest countries, they can persuade other countries on the basis of their commitment. I believe this could be done within two months.

They are also planning to help the production and maybe we can get production and maybe we can get production facilities in africa and other parts of the world where they do not exist at the moment. The key they cannot unlock is the money and only the richest countries can start the process of raising the money we need. If you are an american, it would pay you to pay the whole build yourself because it stops the american economy getting back to normal. As britain, it would pay us to pay a large share of it because we cannot trade with the countries with whom we want to trade and we are vulnerable to the virus coming through people visiting our country if we do not bring it under control in different parts of the world.

There are countries that are paying more on that interest payments than they can spend on health. You have a situation where there is no social distancing, people cannot stay off work, there is no fellow, no protective equipment of the order thatis protective equipment of the order that is needed, but they are paying bills on their debt. We cannot allow this to happen when we have an emergency which is no fault of the poorer countries was up you cannot blame zambia or nigeria or kenyan or ghana for what is happening. They are the victims of what has happened and we have to help them. That would be one part of helping finance the vaccinations, that we give Debt Relief, so then they can spend the money on health and not interest payments.

You have spoken about it today and also yesterday we heard from David Cameron and his statement. We understand that the government will be announcing an independent investigation into what happened with Mr Cameron lobbying for greensill. On this issue, why is it important to you that former ministers follow the rules when it comes to lobbying activities and, if they dont, what should be done about it . I obviously welcome an enquiry because it is important to get to the bottom of this post i dont have the bottom of this post i dont have the detail on what happened with Mr Cameron, greensilland the detail on what happened with Mr Cameron, greensill and other people. My cameron, greensill and other people. My general point this morning, and i make it very generally, is that public office should not become the platform for private gain. I dont think that former ministers and Prime Ministers should be engaged in lobbying for particular commercial companies when they are lobbying their successors, who they know very well and could have privileged access to them. It is something not fair. It gives people the oppression that there is one law for those who are in power and who were close to those in power, and one law for the rest of us. I had to be prime and at a time when we had the Expenses Scandal. Although i was not at fault myself, the Expenses Scandal was something that was a stain on british parliamentary democracy. Lobbying in this commercial way could also be a stain on our democracy, and therefore an enquiry is completely appropriate. Thank you ve much is completely appropriate. Thank you very much for is completely appropriate. Thank you very much for your is completely appropriate. Thank you very much for your time. Is completely appropriate. Thank you very much for your time. Thank i is completely appropriate. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. | let me reiterate that breaking news that has come to us was to puke and follow this from our politics corresponded. We are learning that the government is expected to announce an independent investigation into what happened with Mr Camerons attempts to lobby for greensill. We expect that this afternoon. No further detail, not sure of the scale of the investigation, or who will carry it out. This weekend, the former british Prime Minister, David Cameron, admitting that he made a mistake, but he didnt break any rules when it came to Government Lobbying for greensill, of which he was under the employment, and it is that fact that means that the regulator is saying that he hasnt actually broken any rules as a third party lobbyist. The Industry Watchdog says that the minister was not covered by its rules because he was a greensill and, not a third party lobbyist. We are learning there will be an announcement later today, this afternoon, of and in independent investigation. Prince andrew has said that the queen has described prince Philips Death as having left a huge void in her life. Daniela relph has this report. Itll be a week of reflection here in windsor as the town prepares for the Duke Of Edinburghs funeral. Over the weekend, his children Attended Church In Windsor Great Park and spoke personally of their grief and loss. Its very, very sad. But i have to say that the extraordinary tributes and the memories that everybody has had and been willing to share has been so fantastic. And itjust goes to show he might have been ourfather, grandfather, father in law. But but he meant so much to so many other people. Its so lovely for so many people to learn about what he did, because i think its actually, quite a lot of things that have come out would have surprised some people. The countess also spoke to Staff'>Estate Staff who knew the duke. She told them his death had been very peaceful. She said it was as if someone had taken him by the hand and off he went. Princess anne paid her own tribute, releasing this photo of her and herfather at the London Olympics in 2012. Of his death, she said, you know its going to happen, but youre never really ready. We will miss him, but he leaves a legacy which can inspire us all. The Family Focus is now on protecting and supporting the queen as she mourns. Her son Prince Andrew said after 73 years of marriage, she felt there was now a huge void in her life. Daniela relph, Bbc News, windsor. The duke was well known for his love of cricket, and he began playing at a young age. He later went onto serve two terms as president for marylebone Cricket Club, home to the famous lords cricket ground.

We have a long and historic association with him. First and foremost, the duke love cricket. He loved playing, he loved being a spectator, and he loved being a spectator, and he loved being a spectator, and he loved being involved in the administration of it. Many of your viewers may know he excelled at cricket both on the field as a talented off spinner, and a hard Hitting Batsman in his school days was to pay Continue to play when he was in the Royal Navy and through the 1940s and 1950s. His support for cricket was immense and for us in particular. He served two distant wish terms as our president. His first in 1919 and his second in 1974.

He wasjust was invited to become the president in 1949. He was just 28 when he was announced to be president. He was delighted and surprised. He got involved in dealing with issues that he thought were important. He was particular concerned with the division, as many of your viewers are aware, between professional and amateur players. He felt this needed to be addressed and it led to the award of honorary Life Membership to some players of the past. It is documented in now historical records that he felt that this was a really important part of his presidency. In fact, it was apt that the first step that they took was the equality of players. Professionally, he was passionate about cricket but also in relation to schoolchildren and encouraging more young people to play the game. He worked hard at mcc to achieve that objective, which tied in nicely with his presidency of the national playing association. His legacy for us is significant. Much of the work we currently undertake in schools in westminster and further afield can be directly attributed to the impact that he had during his president ial terms.

He declined the opportunity to make a speech at that point, not wishing to steal the limelight from the players. The duke was a Cricket Lover players. The duke was a cricket [over at heart. He was a very proud member of our club, he will be sorely missed by all of our members, who really enjoyed seeing him. We saw him on many occasions in both our private and public capacity.

We did not exactly know yet. A couple of days ago the Transport Minister laid out initial guidance on gradual reopening of global travel. There is a traffic light system, green, amberand red other countries on a green light this will be able to travel without quarantine. On the amber list, there is a ten Day Home Quarantine required and the red list, like now, its more restricted, allowing hotel quarantine. The list of countries depends on a covid situation in each country.

After a0 years of neglect, the maltese government has bought and is now restoring the property. A tribute to the british crown, but also to the prince and his personality. Maltese are very warm people. They are not formal, they are very informal. Obviously, the monarchy has to be formal so sometimes when the duke would make lapses in his comments and perhaps go a bit too far and receive certain criticism, the maltese would like this because they would say even the duke is human.
