researchers warn the world's richest people to radically change their lifestyle to tackle climate change. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. if you're over 45 and in england you can now book your covid jab, as the vaccination programme enters its next phase. everyone over fifty or in a high risk group has now been offered a first dose, according to the government, and ministers say they're on track to offer all adults a vaccine by the end ofjuly. it comes as officals race to contain �*significant�* new cases of the south african variant in south london, where hundreds of thousands of residents have been asked to come forward for tests. the prime minister has warned infections will rise as the economy reopens, and urged people to continue to be cautious. jim reed reports. another major milestone for the vaccination programme. all over 50s and those in high—risk groups in the uk have now been offered that first dose. at this vaccination centre in reading, they will now be inviting the next age group down. it's great that we've managed to achieve the target of getting everybody in the one to nine groups vaccinated by the deadline, a little bit ahead, actually. and we are now going to the 45—49 group, they are being asked to come forward. all those aged 45 and up can now use the nhs website to book appointments. the site appeared to crash this morning as thousands more tried to get a slot, though it is now back up and running. overall, more than 32 million people have had at least one jab of the astrazeneca and pfizer vaccines. going forward, though, the nhs will have to give a shot to all those coming back for a second booster dose, while at the same time trying to keep first doses going for those younger age groups. are you feeling well today? yeah, i'm feeling fine. today the first jabs using a third vaccine, made by the american firm moderna, are being given in england following a roll—out in wales and scotland. the supply forecast gives us confidence that assuming those supplies carry on as expected, then yes, we will not only deliver on the april 15 milestone of everybody aged 50 and above having had the chance for a vaccine, but all adults by the end ofjuly. all this comes at an important time in this pandemic. pub gardens and shops in england are now open for the first time this year. the successful vaccine roll—out has helped drive down infections and deaths. but scientists say the public still needs to follow the rules to avoid another wave of infections. the vaccines are only one part of the solution to the problem. people do need to continue to be careful and to avoid infecting each other. you can have this infection without realising it and so there is a risk. there are now all these tests available that people can obtain to test themselves and people should use those and i and certainly, for one, am going to continue to take a lot of care. and today another reminder of how easily this virus can spread. every resident of two london boroughs, wandsworth and lambeth, is being asked to take a pcr covid test. that is after a large cluster of infections caused by a variant of the virus first found in south africa. we have an outbreak _ that we are aware of in a local care home but we also know there has been some spread to the wider community. and we've been testing and tracing contacts from that outbreak. - but what we want to do now is check there is no further spread _ across our boroughs, _ both in lambeth and wandsworth. lambeth council says it is fairly confident it has the outbreak under control, but all those living in the boroughs, plus anyone who travels through, have been told they should get tested to reduce the chance of it spreading. jim reed reporting there. america's health authorities have recommended pausing the use of the johnson and johnson covid vaccine after six cases of severe blood clots in people who've had it. nearly seven million people in the united states have been given the vaccine. the uk has ordered 30 million doses, though it hasn't been approved by regulators yet. our health correspondent laura foster is here now. how significant is this? so the key phrase that is being bandied about is under an abundance of caution, and that basically means that the health agencies have said that the health agencies have said that the health agencies have said that the risk of this very rare blood clot is very low, but let's do the steps we can to ensure that there is no chance the risk happening of this variant of this thing which is very low risk. so sex women have experienced this rare but severe blood clot, —— six women have experienced this, one has died on the others are in hospital. find experienced this, one has died on the others are in hospital. and that added 7 million _ the others are in hospital. and that added 7 million people _ the others are in hospital. and that added 7 million people in _ the others are in hospital. and that added 7 million people in the - the others are in hospital. and that| added 7 million people in the states who have had this vaccine?

yes, 6.8 million people, six people out - who have had this vaccine? yes, 6.8 million people, six people out of - million people, six people out of 6.8 million, that's a very small percentage. and what they're looking at now is what has caused these clots and the idea is to cover everything and work out what has happened. everything and work out what has ha ened. ~ �* everything and work out what has hauened. ~ �* ., , , happened. we've got this 'ust in, from the dutch * happened. we've got this 'ust in, from the dutch medicines- happened. we've got thisjust in, i from the dutch medicines regulator, at this moment they are also looking at this moment they are also looking at thejohnson &johnson vaccine but they say the benefits of it outweigh they say the benefits of it outweigh the possible risks. we have some more information about the south african variant emerging in the south of london, and where it might have come from.— south of london, and where it might have come from. yes, is a document seen by the — have come from. yes, is a document seen by the bbc _ have come from. yes, is a document seen by the bbc indicates _ have come from. yes, is a document seen by the bbc indicates that - have come from. yes, is a document seen by the bbc indicates that this i seen by the bbc indicates that this rise of the south african variant in south london has been triggered by an individual who travelled from africa in february. and the link hasn't been proven yet but that's what the contact tracers are working on the assumptions of, the idea is that this person came from this country, it was not on the red list, which is where you have to hotel quarantine, but it is now on the list. the idea is that this person came back, they spread the variant to other members of their household, the people they live with, and then it went on to a care home in lambeth and 23 cases of the variant were detected in that care home, 13 staff and ten residents. fik. detected in that care home, 13 staff and ten residents.— detected in that care home, 13 staff and ten residents. 0k. and that any of those residents _ and ten residents. 0k. and that any of those residents had _ and ten residents. 0k. and that any of those residents had the - and ten residents. 0k. and that any of those residents had the vaccine, | of those residents had the vaccine, do we know?

—— social distance and stay outside. it’s distance and stay outside. it's interesting. — distance and stay outside. it�*s interesting, this is coming in the middle of an election campaign, the first minister insisting this has nothing to do with the election campaign, she is saying this is purely data driven, and in fact that they are legally obliged to reduce restrictions as soon as they are able to. but you're right, it's a very cautious path they have to tread. last week we saw hairdressers reopen in scotland, some garden centres, allowed to reopen here in scotland. schools this week, secondary schools allowed to reopen that the reality is most kids will be back at school next week after easter holidays. but the changes are incremental and they have to watch it carefully and make sure there was, the number of positive cases does not increase as the restrictions ease. so this will happen on friday and they will obviously watch the figure is very closely because the next big changes are expected in april 26, at that point, gyms will reopen and shops will reopen, light or hospitality with reopen, in the hospitality will be allowed to open on a restricted basis. —— all outdoor hospitality will reopen. the pub trade are critical, they say there is no point unless they can serve alcohol indoors there is no point in opening up indoors there is no point in opening up indoor spaces, but a very slow process. cross—border travel will be allowed on april 26. but they will watch figures very closely. and it's also worth noting that international travel is still not back, not on the cards yet, and that's, nicola sturgeon says, because they're worried about variance abroad. they're going to try and agreed on a four nation basis but she says the price of opening up at home might be to continue those restrictions about travelling abroad for a little longer. this thank you. this weekend marks two years since the journalist lyra mckee was shot dead as she observed a riot in londonderry. a hearing has begun this week to find out if there's enough evidence to send two local men for trial on charges linked to her death. meanwhile, as that continues, politicians and community leaders are again right now trying to resolve tension in other parts of northern ireland. 90 officers were hurt last week in what police called the worst violence they'd seen for years. it was sparked by a number of things, including frustration over the trading rules that came in after brexit. today, church leaders called the rioting �*heartbreaking' and called on the british, irish and eu governments to "treat northern ireland's fragile peace with care. let's talk exclusively now to the partner of lyra mckee, sara canning. good afternoon, thank you for talking to us. ida good afternoon, thank you for talking to us.— good afternoon, thank you for talking to us._ i i good afternoon, thank you for i talking to us._ i want good afternoon, thank you for - talking to us._ i want to talking to us. no problem. i want to ask ou, talking to us. no problem. i want to ask you. first. _ talking to us. no problem. i want to ask you, first, what's _ talking to us. no problem. i want to ask you, first, what's your - talking to us. no problem. i want to ask you, first, what's your reaction l ask you, first, what's your reaction to the violence in the last week or so?

[30 return to large-scale violence. do ou return to large—scale violence. do you think borisjohnson bear some responsibility for the brexit part of the problem, which essentially puts a border town the irish sea, and that has led to some loyalists say that sort of shaking the foundation or threatening the foundation or threatening the foundation of northern ireland as part of the union? 100%. he was at the dup conference a couple of years ago and basically said there would not be sea border, that if people in northern ireland were being asked to fill in customs forms to contact him, he would throw them in the bin, and now we are in that position. you can't cive and now we are in that position. you can't give such _ and now we are in that position. you can't give such a _ and now we are in

faith in your word? you know, especially because it was caught on camera, it was massively publicised. we are expecting to hear from the northern ireland secretary at some point this afternoon in the house of commons. do you think the current situation requires a visit from brandon lewis or even from boris johnson? i brandon lewis or even from boris johnson? . ~ , johnson? i mean, ithink they

everyone agreed to that, and a couple of weeks in line, no, that was terrible. so i can't see what the resolution will be because i think the options have nearly been exhausted. there was possiblyjust, we need to learn to sell, you know, the protocol or whatever the options that are on the table are to the communities who feel that it's eroding their britishness and taking away from

don't have great prospect here because we are a society that is massively reliant on the public sector, we have very little work available, you know, it's difficult. they need something to kind of

particularly when we think about things like the failure to see the delivery of integrated education for example that was outlined in back in 1998. that's one of the areas we need to work on. we do need to recognise that there are people in these communities can see the benefit of what is happening and the opportunity moving forward in a positive way. she is right as well about her comments on the unionist community and the loyalist community. it's about ensuring our partners in the eu fully understand this issue around identity that people feel so passionately about in northern ireland and the impact the decision around article 16 had and the lasting impact it has had four people in that community. i welcome the fact the vice president met with civic society and business leaders three weeks ago and i would encourage him to do more of that to fully understand. she outlined a few times the protocols and the issues around protocols certainly have played an issue. that is why i am the prime minister have been cleared about our determination to find a way forward and we all remember the protocol as they are in place because of the unique circumstances of northern ireland. we have to make sure it works in a flexible way so it works for the people of northern ireland. it only works if it is —— if it is working for everyone across the community. she talks about talks and i have met with leaders on the executive as well as party leaders and will continue to do so. the prime minister has met with the business community. but we do support the established bodies that have been set up to resolve these issues. i am glad to hear she wants to see reduced cheques. ultimately i think we can back to being united on the fact the way forward is always through dialogue never through violence. that was the northern ireland secretary responding to the shadow northern ireland secretary and brandon lewis was accepting that there are issues around the northern ireland protocol which is a bowed down the irish sea post—brexit which has led to tensions particularly within the loyalist communities. but he said it was more complicated. young people are frustrated of the year of coronavirus uncertainty and perception that the covid rules haven't been adhered to by some members of the community. he said the answer obviously on the way forward his dialogue. in response the shadow minister said there were complex ministers —— complex reasons for attention but a deep sense of hurt and anger amongst communities and the growing instability has its roots in the fact that trust has been squandered of what boris johnson promised over brexit and what has come to pass. she says the prime minister must urgently convene talks. listening to that was sarah canning, the partner of the room key. she was a journalist who was shot dead two years ago as she was observing a riot in londonderry. your reaction to what you have heard in the commons. i your reaction to what

government failing. they are the ones who need to step up to the plate. to reassure people... it was almost two years since the death of the level of your life and you are going to spend the rest of

hoping nobody is that foolish because the condemnation of what happened to her was universal across communities in northern ireland and i would hate to think that another family would have to go

statement from the northern ireland secretary. the prime minister has insisted the review he's ordered into the collapsed finance firm that david cameron lobbied for, greensill capital, will be given free reign. but labour says the scope of the investigation is inadequate. it wants a full parliamentary inquiry into what it calls the "rampant cronyism" in government. how did former primus of david cameron used his contacts in westminster and did his employer benefit from his efforts? the government is holding a review of schemes the company was involved in headed by a lawyer. i schemes the

and grasp this issue more firmly. and the review _ grasp this issue more firmly. and the review that _ grasp this issue more firmly. and the review that downing street announced yesterday, i heard the

not? it's interesting on the scope of this review _ lobbying or not? it's interesting on the scope of this review is - the scope of this review is something which is now a real issue here at westminster because the prime minister did this morning say that review would have carte blanche to look into the issue of supply chain finance and how far it's chain finance and how far its present government. that really is the scope of this review and when it was announced yesterday did say that it would have a particular focus on green cell capital and its provision of supply chain finance, this method of supply chain finance, this method of supplying credit to companies to allow them to pay their bills more quickly than they normally would do. but it's not clear how far it will look into david cameron's efforts to lobby on behalf of green cell capital in government and if at all it will take a view on lobbying and the rules and whether they need to change on that more generally. it doesn't seem the scope of the review is set up to do that so that's another reason why i don't think we will see any letup in the pressure from labour and others to shine a light on the practice of lobbying and an attempt to change it and the way it works at westminster at the moment. there's been a second night of unrest in minneapolis, where riot police confronted crowds of protesters angered by the shooting dead of a black man. police say one of their officers meant to use a taser on the suspect — but accidentally drew her gun instead. in the same city, the trial of a former police officer accused of murdering another black man, george floyd, continues. peter bowes reports. another tense night. unrest on the streets of minneapolis in response to the police killing of another black man. this was already a city on edge. the renewed anger and frustration follows the death of daunte wright, a 20—year—old motorist who was shot by a female officer after he was stopped for a minor offence. he'd attempted to escape and the police tried to arrest him on a previous warrant. this bodycam footage shows what the police chief said was a fatal mistake. taser, taser, taser! it is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser, but instead shot mr wright with a single bullet. the swift release of the bodycam video appears to have been an attempt by the police to show transparency in the face of immediate criticism. presidentjoe biden said he had watched what he called the graphic footage, and he was waiting for an investigation to determine whether the shooting was an accident. in the meantime, he said people should stay calm. there is absolutely no justification — none — for looting, no justification for violence. peaceful protest, understandable, and the fact is that, you know, we do know that the anger, pain and trauma that exists in the black community in that environment is real, it is serious and it is consequential. but it will notjustify violence and/or looting. the minneapolis trial of derek chauvin, the former police officer accused of murdering george floyd, is moving into its final stages. the latest witness, mr floyd's brother, told the jury about his family. that's my mother. she is no longer with us right now. that's my oldest brother, george. i miss both of them. i was married, may 24th i got married. and my brother was killed may 25th, and my mom died on may 30th. it is like a bittersweet month, because i was supposed to be happy when that month comes. over the next few days, derek chauvin's lawyers will present the jury with their case. as the trial winds up, extra security — members of the national guard — are being drafted in around the courthouse and across the city as emotions run high. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. the world's richest people will have to radically change their lifestyles if climate change is to be tackled, according to new research. the cambridge sustainability commission said the wealthiest five per cent, were responsible for more than a third of the growth in emissions between 1990 and 2015. it says people will need to fly less, insulate their property and ditch polluting cars. here's roger harrabin. take off for the sunshine. pollution from flying is growing, but it is routine for many of us in rich nations. the more you fly, the more you pollute, so the commission says frequent flyers should pay more tax. the government says collecting flight data might breach privacy, but the reports's authors say the rich must change. that class of individuals, the 1% all the 5% you just referred to, that lead to the most carbon intensive lifestyles, whose behaviour needs to be targeted by a range of different policies and measures. what we're arguing is for a shrink and share reports, we need to shrink the carbon budget to bring it in line with paris targets which all governments have signed up to, but within that, share that responsibility fairly. the gulf in emissions between rich and poor is vast. the wealthy 1% of people in its twice as much climate heating gases as the poorest half of the world's population put together. this clearly must change, the report says. change is coming. take britain's offshore wind farms, they produce clean energy. take this floating wind farm in scotland, producing clean energy. technology will help cure the climate problem. government policy should not focus on penalising people and their political lifestyles that should be encouraging people to take up clean technologies. we have a good array of clean technologies, from the electric car to the heat pump, we should be making those as attractive as possible. but technology hasn't stopped emissions rising. that is partly because people are driving ever bigger cars. there is much support for taxing or banning large suvs like these. the report says the rich must lead the way in cutting emissions. their homes are part of the climate problem too. rich versus poor, it'll be a theme this year. president biden's convening a climate summit next week and the uk's hosting another in november. they won't be allowed to forget, it is mostly the wealthy who have overheated the planet. roger harrabin, bbc news, london. the un has warned that the military clampdown on protests in myanmar over recent months risks escalating the country intoa civil conflict like that seen in syria. un high commissioner for human rights michelle bachelet appealed for an end to what she called the slaughter. in a statement she said over 3,000 people have been detained and there are reports that 23 people have been sentenced to death following secret trials. she warned the international community must not allow the deadly mistakes of the past in syria and elsewhere to be repeated. the loosening of restrictions in england has meant a rush to the pub and the great outdoors. campsites and holiday parks across the country have seen their first visitors of the year. danjohnson has been to meet them. it's been a busy start to this late season and in shropshire, people got the chance to spend their first night away as restrictions eased. they've been making the most of it. i've been really looking forward to it, i've been stuck in my house now for 12 months, working, its been nice to get a nice break away. it was very warm in there but it was nice to wake up to a bit of frost this morning, it's a good excuse to jump in the hot tub later. so good to be away, especially after covid home—schooling and now we've got kayaking and paddle boarding. yes, it's going to be really good. are you looking forward to it? very excited. what's it been like stuck at home? very boring! not fun! some are ready to start the day in a really refreshing way! oh, my god! you're not regretting it, are you? no, not at all! but a wet suit would be nice! for the owners, it's been an unprecedented time. the toughest year. so they hope this is the start of a summer of recovery. i think the tourism industry, all industries have had a really tough time but obviously when your business is closed like it has been, or turnover is down 30 or 40%, we need to reopen and we're full this weekend. you know, we've got to make sure we don't break down, some of the hot tubs are late being delivered but it's great to see the people back. caravans have returned to the peak district but what was that they used to say in the scouts? be prepared. the toilet blocks are closed until the 17th of may due to government guidelines so i think from then, we will have a lot more bookings. but people are still happy to come, using their own facilities. from now. we've even got a tent arrived today for four nights! splashdown at southport pleasure land, after a year when rides were mostly off limits, restricting family fun and putting places like this under threat. it's nice to be open again, a lovely sunny day. we couldn't hope for more. it's really nice to be back in work, making all the kids and all the families happy. it doesn't matter what marketing we do or what offers we make, the sun is the best thing in the world for us. ain't that the truth? fingers crossed, it keeps shining and covid stays under control. danjohnson, bbc news, shropshire. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. if you are spending more time outdoors this week a dry outlook could be welcome, but if you are a gardener you might be looking for some rain by now. not a lot of that in the forecast. it stays cool by day and the risk of frost and fog at night. on the satellite picture you can see all the main ring bearing weather systems are staying well away from our shows, fended off by this area of high pressure. this will be with us for a few days yet. often under high pressure we can expect completely dry weather but that's not the case at the moment. there are a few showers popping up especially across western and southern parts of the uk. those showers quite slow moving because of the winds are pretty light. but many spots staying dry with temperatures between eight and 12 degrees. through tonight, most of those showers will fade but some areas of patchy cloud left behind and patches of mist and fog developing. a widespread ground frost and not as cold as it was the most of us last night. into tomorrow, it's a similar day with sunny spells. one or two showers popping up. the wind is not much of the future for most of us, light winds in many places. but look at these north sea coasts and look where the wind is coming from, it's coming in off the chilly waters of the sea. so temperatures in these towns and cities on the east coast will be suppressed. a fair breeze blowing across coastal parts of east anglia and the south—east. further west that is where we will have the highest temperatures. as we head through wednesday night into thursday they could be some frost again with high pressure still firmly in charge. the orientation of that high bringing a feed of chilly air of the north sea. we could also see some showers creeping in from the east affecting parts of east anglia and the south—east but otherwise largely dry with spells of sunshine and once again the highest temperatures will be out west. for the end of the week, most places will stay dry. a little bit of rain in the far north—west at times and temperatures climbing a little bit. hello, this is bbc news, i'm victoria derbyshire. good afternoon, here are the headlines. if you're over 45 and in england you can now book a covid jab. it comes after the government said everyone in the top nine priority groups has now been offered a first vaccine, ahead of its target. we're going now to the 16—49 group, they're being asked to come forward. travelling around scotland will be allowed from friday — 10 days earlier than planned. the prime minister insists the review he's ordered into greensill — the collapsed finance firm that david cameron lobbied for — will be given free rein. but labour says the investigation's scope is in adequate. scope is inadequate. another night of unrest in the us city of minneapolis after police shot dead a black man. it comes as the high—profile derek chauvin murder trial continues — the defense is expected to begin its case today. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. if you're over 45 and in england you can now book your covid jab, as the vaccination programme enters its next phase. everyone over fifty or in a high risk group has now been offered a first dose, according to the government, and ministers say they're on track to offer all adults a vaccine by the end ofjuly. it comes as officals race to contain �*significant�* new cases of the south african variant in south london, where hundreds of thousands of residents have been asked to come forward for tests. the prime minister has warned infections will rise as the economy reopens, and urged people to continue to be cautious. jim reed reports. another major milestone for the vaccination programme. all over 50s and those in high—risk groups in the uk have now been offered that first dose. at this vaccination centre in reading, they will now be inviting the next age group down. it's great that we've managed to achieve the target of getting everybody in the one to nine groups vaccinated by the deadline, a little bit ahead, actually. and we are now going to the 16—49 group, they are being asked to come forward. all those aged 45 and up can now use the nhs website to book appointments. the site appeared to crash this morning as thousands more tried to get a slot, though it is now back up and running. overall, more than 32 million people have had at least one jab of the astrazeneca and pfizer vaccines. going forward, though, the nhs will have to give a shot to all those coming back for a second booster dose, while at the same time trying to keep first doses going for those younger age groups. are you feeling well today? yeah, i'm feeling fine. today the first jabs using a third vaccine, made by the american firm moderna, are being given in england following a roll—out in wales and scotland. the supply forecast gives us confidence that assuming those supplies carry on as expected, then yes, we will not only deliver on the april 15th milestone of everybody aged 50 and above having had the chance for a vaccine, but all adults by the end ofjuly. all this comes at an important time in this pandemic. pub gardens and shops in england are now open for the first time this year. the successful vaccine roll—out has helped drive down infections and deaths. but scientists say the public still needs to follow the rules to avoid another wave of infections. the vaccines are only one part of the solution to the problem. people do need to continue to be careful and to avoid infecting each other. you can have this infection without realising it and so there is a risk. there are now all these tests available that people can obtain to test themselves and people should use those and i, certainly, for one, am going to continue to take a lot of care. and today another reminder of how easily this virus can spread. every resident of two london boroughs, wandsworth and lambeth, is being asked to take a pcr covid test. that is after a large cluster of infections caused by a variant of the virus first found in south africa. we have an outbreak _ that we are aware of in a local care home but we also know there has been some spread to the wider community. and we've been testing and tracing contacts from that outbreak. - but what we want to do now is check there is no further spread _ across our boroughs, _ both in lambeth and wandsworth. lambeth council says it is fairly confident it has the outbreak under control, but all those living in the boroughs, plus anyone who travels through, have been told they should get tested to reduce the chance of it spreading. jim reed reporting there. america's health authorities have recommended pausing the use of the johnson&johnson covid vaccine after six cases of severe blood clots in people who've had it. nearly seven million people in the united states have been given the vaccine. the uk has ordered 30 million doses, though it hasn't been approved by regulators yet. a short time ago laura foster — who's our health correspondent — explained why american health officials had made the decision to pause the jab being used. the key phrase that is being bandied about is "under an abundance of caution", and that basically means that the health agencies have said the risk of this very rare blood clot is very low, but let's do the steps we can to ensure that there is no chance the risk happening of this... of this thing which is very low risk. so six women have experienced this rare but severe blood clot, one has died and one is in a serious condition in hospital. they've all had one jab of the j&j vaccine. and that's out of 7 million people in the states who have had the johnson&johnson vaccine? yes, just over 6.8 million jabs. so six out of 6.8 million, bit of rough maths, that's 0.00009%. and what they're looking at now is what caused these clots, and the idea is to cover everything and try and work out what has happened. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has brought forward the easing of some covid restrictions — ten days earlier than expected. she also said the limits on how many people can meet outdoors will increase to six adults from six households. a short time ago i spoke to our correspondent lorna gordon who's in glasgow — said nicola sturgeon's announcement will be welcomed by many. some big, significant changes coming earlier than expected and it's all to do is set stay local restriction here in scotland that was meant to stay in place until april 26, so that's a little under two week's time, it would have been a week on monday it was lifted, but nicola sturgeon today announcing that because the data, the number of cases, are all moving in the right direction, the case numbers are falling and falling quite fast and dramatically, in part because of that vaccination programme, she says they're bringing forward, accelerating the route map out of lockdown and that the stay local restriction will be lifted on friday. at that point, family and friends can travel across scotland for recreation, to see each other, as long as they stay outside. one other key chains that comes in on friday, the four people from the two different households that are allowed to meet up outdoors will change to six people from six households being allowed to meet at stores, and that of course doesn't include children under 12, who are include children under 12, who are in addition to any limited group members that are meeting. at the stay local restriction is being lifted on friday, a lot of people will be very pleased to hear that they can meet family and friends who live outside of their council area again. i live outside of their council area aaain. ., live outside of their council area aaain. . ., . �*, again. i mean, for a politician's oint of

point of view, this is good - again. i mean, for a politician's. point of view, this is good news, they're bringing these restrictions, they're bringing these restrictions, the easing of them forward, but they also are still pushing the message we have to still social distance, you know, be outside, all of that sort of stuff, so they are treading a fine line?— a fine line? they are. and it's interesting — a fine line? they are. and it's interesting of _ a fine line? they are. and it's interesting of course, - a fine line? they are. and it's interesting of course, that. a fine line? they are. and it's| interesting of course, that this a fine line? they are. and it's i interesting of course, that this is coming in the middle of an election campaign. the first minister nicola sturgeon here insisting this has nothing to do with the election campaign, she is saying this is purely data driven and the fact that they are legally obliged to reduce restrictions as soon as they are able to. but you are right, it's a very cautious path they have to tread. last week we saw herez reopen here in scotland, some garden centres were allowed to reopen. —— hairdressers reopened. schools this week, secondary schools are allowed to reopen, though the reality is most people will be back next week after the easter holidays. but the changes are incremental and they have to watch carefully and make sure the number of positive cases doesn't increase as the restrictions ease. so this change will happen on friday and then they will obviously watch figures very closely because the next big changes are expected in april 26 at that point, jim will reopen, all shops will reopen, —— gyms will reopen, or outdoor hospitality or reopen, in the hospitality or reopen, in the hospitality will be allowed to reopen on a restricted basis. organisations are blunting the pub trade are critical of that, they say there's no point, unless they can serve alcohol inter�*s there is no point opening up indoor spaces. but it's a slow process. cross—border travel will be allowed on a per 26 but they will watch figures very closely. it is also worth noting international travel is still not back, not on the cards yet. and that is nicola sturgeon says, because they're worried about variants abroad. they are going to try and agreed on a four nation but she says for now, the price to open up at home might be to continue those restrictions about travelling abroad for a little longer. the prime minister has insisted the review he's ordered into the collapsed finance firm that david cameron lobbied for, greensill capital, will be given free rein. but labour says the scope of the investigation is inadequate. it wants a full parliamentary inquiry into what it calls the "rampant cronyism" in government. helen catt reports. how did former prime minister david cameron use his contacts in westminster, and did his employer lex greensill benefit from his efforts? the government is holding a review of schemes the company was involved in, headed by a lawyer. i would like it to be done quickly, but i want him to have the maximum possible access and so we can all understand exactly what happened and that will of course be presented to parliament in due course. in parliament, there are lots of questions already for the health secretary, who went for a drink with mr cameron and mr greensill after the finance firm had proposed using an app it had devised in the nhs. absolutely, i attended a social meeting organised by the former prime minister. and given that departmental business came up, i reported it to officials in the normal way. labour accused the government of a pattern of behaviour. it is cronyism and it stinks. so if he thinks he has done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide, - will he publish all of the minutes, all the e—mails, all— the correspondence, _ all the directions he gave to civil servants and all his text messages with david cameron so we can- see exactly what went on with the awarding i of his contract? there are questions for the business secretary, too. last year greensill was chosen to give loans to other companies, like the owners of liberty steel, as part of a government scheme to help businesses through the pandemic. the british business bank, which ran it, said it wasn't lobbied by mr cameron. the business secretary was asked if he had been. presumably mr cameron didn't lobby you, ministers or officials in the department in...? i have never received a single phone call whatsoever from mr cameron. lobbying is a usual part of politics, and david cameron says he didn't break any rules, although he said there were lessons to be learned. labour says the review isn't enough. tomorrow it will force a vote to try to get mps to run their own investigation. our political correspondentjonthan blake has been giving us more details on where we stand with this story. so far then the government is resisting, notwithstanding the review announced by the prime minister yesterday, calls from labour to take a broader look at lobbying in general, aside from the issue of greensill capital and the access it has had to government, but i don't think we will see any letup from labour in its attempts to get the government to grasp this issue more firmly. and the review that downing street announced yesterday, i heard the prime minister talking about it this morning. he was very specifically saying it was a review into supply chain finance. is it also a review into lobbying or not? yes, it's interesting, and the scope of this review is something which is now a real issue here at westminster because as you say, the prime minister did this morning say that that review would have carte blanche to look into the issue of supply chain finance and how far it's present in government. and that really is the scope of this review, and when it was announced yesterday it did say...downing street did say that it would have a particularfocus on greensill capital and its provision of supply chain finance, this method of supplying credit to companies to allow them to pay their bills more quickly than they normally would do. but it's not clear how far it will look into david cameron's efforts to lobby on behalf of greensill capital in government, and if at all it will take a view on lobbying and the rules and whether they need to change on that at westminster more generally. it doesn't seem the scope of the review is set up to do that, so that's another reason why i don't think we will see any letup in the pressure from labour and others to shine a light on the practice of lobbying and an attempt to reform it and change it and the way it works at westminster at the moment. trade between the uk and the eu partially recovered in february, after a steep drop following brexit. separate data also suggests the economy grew that month, as dharshini david explains. well, we saw the biggest changes in our trading arrangements in over a0 years and yes that has prompted some very big numbers. and as you say, to start the year we saw a big slump injanuary in the sales of goods to europe and that prompted fears that perhaps we saw traders overwhelmed by the extra paperwork and checks they had to go through. but when we got to february's figures it was a different story. we saw a 46.6% rise in exports to the eu, which confirmed what some companies had already told us, that they were simply staying away from the borders because they were concerned about disruption and delays injanuary and they had shipped goods ahead of time to try and avoid that. now they are back trading once again and other firms are getting to grips with the new changes. but having said all of that, if you look at the level of exports they are still well below where they were for much of 2020. there are two things going on there, there is of course the pandemic and that is dampening demand amongst a lot of our competitors out there, but there is also the case that many exporters, particularly when it comes to areas like fresh food, are still struggling with the volume of the new formalities they have to go through and they are urging more help from the government. they say without that, not just profits, butjobs could suffer. and the economy also grew slightly in february? it did. we know the drill here, don't we? we have a lockdown and much of activity in our economy gets paused and what we saw in february obviously was when we were in the throes of that lockdown things did get paused. up byjust 0.4% for output. but here is the better news. economists are saying as we reopen now, it's a chance for us to see the recovery take off. but how much by? it depends how much we spend in the shops. consumers are the key to all of this. the headlines on bbc news: if you're over 45 and in england you can now book a covid jab. it comes after the government said everyone in the top 9 priority groups has now been offered a first vaccine, ahead of its target. travelling around scotland will be allowed from friday, 10 days earlier than planned. the prime minister insists the review he's ordered into greensill — the collapsed finance firm that david cameron lobbied for — will be given free reign. but labour says the investigation�*s scope is in adequate. scope is inadequate. there's been a second night of unrest in minneapolis, where riot police confronted crowds of protesters angered by the shooting dead of a black man. police say one of their officers meant to use a taser on the suspect — but accidentally drew her gun instead. in the same city, the trial of a former police officer accused of murdering another black man, george floyd, continues. peter bowes reports. another tense night. unrest on the streets of minneapolis in response to the police killing of another black man. this was already a city on edge. the renewed anger and frustration follows the death of daunte wright, a 20—year—old motorist who was shot by a female officer after he was stopped for a minor offence. he'd attempted to escape and the police tried to arrest him on a previous warrant. this bodycam footage shows what the police chief said was a fatal mistake. taser, taser, taser! it is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser, but instead shot mr wright with a single bullet. the swift release of the bodycam video appears to have been an attempt by the police to show transparency in the face of immediate criticism. presidentjoe biden said he had watched what he called the graphic footage, and he was waiting for an investigation to determine whether the shooting was an accident. in the meantime, he said people should stay calm. there is absolutely no justification — none — for looting, no justification for violence. peaceful protest, understandable, and the fact is that, you know, we do know that the anger, pain and trauma that exists in the black community in that environment is real, it is serious and it is consequential. but it will notjustify violence and/or looting. the minneapolis trial of derek chauvin, the former police officer accused of murdering george floyd, is moving into its final stages. the latest witness, mr floyd's brother, told the jury about his family. that's my mother. she is no longer with us right now. that's my oldest brother, george. i miss both of them. i was married, may 24th i got married. and my brother was killed may 25th, and my mom died on may 30th. it is like a bittersweet month, because i was supposed to be happy when that month comes. over the next few days, derek chauvin�*s lawyers will present the jury with their case. as the trial winds up, extra security — members of the national guard — are being drafted in around the courthouse and across the city as emotions run high. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. the trial of derek chauvin did resume about a quarter of an hour or so ago. there are lots of technical legal arguments. so ago. there are lots of technical legalarguments. it so ago. there are lots of technical legal arguments. it has adjourned for ten minutes and is meant to be starting again in the next ten minutes or so, starting again in the next ten minutes orso, and starting again in the next ten minutes or so, and we are expecting his defence team to put their arguments to thejury. his defence team to put their arguments to the jury. derek chauvin denies murder. we will be back alive at the trial, hopefully in the next ten minutes or so. —— we will be back live at the trial. around a million students in england are expected to find out when they'll be allowed to resume in—person teaching. it's expected that they may have to wait another month until 17th may to return to campus accommodation and lessons. universities uk has written to the government asking for that date to be brought forward. our education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. the impact of the pandemic on student life has been far—reaching. nearly a million students in england are still waiting for guidance from the government on when they can return to in—person lectures and accommodation. the road map out of lockdown has left some students feeling lost. we are not overly sure what's going on, it's a bit unsettling. the university are trying to adapt to that as well, the uncertainty of what is going to happen. that has made us feel a little bit on edge. i don't know. a little bit nervous. i wish they would just give us some certainty, even if it was bad news, just something to know where we are going. students on practical courses including science and creative arts were allowed to return to campuses in march. throughout the pandemic, those studying courses such as medicine, dentistry and social work have been able to continue at university. but there is concern that many students have been left in limbo. the pandemic has had its greatest effect on mental health in young people. and that population includes students, and i genuinely believe it is in the very best interests of our students for them to be back on campus so that we can give them the support they need and they've also got their peer support, and i can't stress how important that peer support is. this is what the government is keen to avoid, a repeat of the spike in cases that followed the mass migration of students last september. universities are keen to reassure that they are covid safe. we have our own testing centre, where students get tested twice a week so we can be sure we are controlling any infection if it were to arise. we have social distancing in the lecture rooms and we have changed the ventilation arrangements in the lecture rooms so they are fully ventilated to the outside. in england, the government promised a review at easter but many students are still none the wiser about when they can't ——can return to university life. elaine dunkley, bbc news. the world's richest people will have to radically change their lifestyles if climate change is to be tackled, according to new research. the cambridge sustainability commission said the wealthiest 5% were responsible for more than a third of the growth in emissions between 1990 and 2015. it says people will need to fly less, insulate their property and ditch polluting cars. here's roger harrabin. take off for the sunshine. pollution from flying is growing, but it is routine for many of us in rich nations. the more you fly, the more you pollute, so the commission says frequent flyers should pay more tax. the government says collecting flight data might breach privacy, but the report's authors say the rich must change. that class of individuals, the i% or the 5% you just referred to, that lead the most carbon intensive lifestyles, whose behaviour needs to be targeted by a range of different policies and measures. what we're arguing in the report is for a shrink and share approach, we need to shrink the carbon budget to bring it in line with paris targets which all governments have signed up to, but within that, share that responsibility fairly. the gulf in emissions between rich and poor is vast. the wealthy i% of people emits twice as much climate heating gases as the poorest half of the world's population put together. this clearly must change, the report says. change is coming. take britain's offshore wind farms — they produce clean energy. technology will help cure the climate problem. i think government policy should not focus on penalising people and their polluting lifestyles but should be instead encouraging people to take up clean technologies. we have a huge array now of clean technologies, that can help us to tackle climate change from the electric car to the heat pump, and we should be trying to make those as attractive as possible. but technology hasn't stopped emissions rising. that is partly because people are driving ever—bigger cars. there is much support for taxing or banning large suvs like these. the report says the rich must lead the way in cutting emissions. rich versus poor — it'll be a theme this year. president biden's convening a climate summit next week and the uk's hosting another in november. they won't be allowed to forget — it is mostly the wealthy who have overheated the planet. roger harrabin, bbc news, london. the loosening of restrictions in england has meant a rush to the pub and the great outdoors. campsites and holiday parks across the country have seen their first visitors of the year and danjohnson has been to meet some of them. it's been a busy start to this late season, and in shropshire, people got the chance to spend their first night away as restrictions eased. they've been making the most of it. i've been really looking forward to it. i've been stuck in my house now for 12 months, working, it's been nice to get a nice break away. it was very warm in there but it was nice to wake up to a bit of frost this morning, it's a good excuse to jump in the hot tub later. so good to be away, especially after covid, home—schooling and now we've got kayaking and paddle boarding, woodland school. busy day. yes, it's going to be really good. are you looking forward to it? very excited. what's it been like stuck at home? very boring! not fun! some were ready to start the day in a really refreshing way. oh, my god! you're not regretting it, are you? no, not at all! but a wet suit would be nice! for the owners, it's been an unprecedented time. the toughest year. so they hope this is the start of a summer of recovery. i think the tourism industry, well, all industries have had a really tough time but obviously when your business is closed like it has been, i think our turnover is down 30 or 40%, we need to reopen. and it's good, we're full this weekend. you know, we've got to make sure we don't break down, some of the hot tubs are late being delivered, but it's great to see the people back. caravans have returned to the peak district, but what was that they used to say in the scouts? be prepared. the toilet blocks are closed until the 17th of may due to government guidelines, so i think from then we will have a lot more bookings. but people are still happy to come, using their own facilities from now. we've even got a tent arrived today for four nights! splashdown at southport�*s pleasureland after a year when rides were mostly off limits, restricting family fun and putting places like this under threat. it's nice to be open again, a lovely sunny day. we couldn't hope for more, really. it's really nice to be back in work, making all the kids and all the families happy again. it doesn't matter what marketing we do or what offers we make, the sun is the best thing in the world for us. ain't that the truth? fingers crossed, it keeps shining and covid stays under control. danjohnson bbc news, shropshire. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. we've seen some terrace p°ppin9 hello. we've seen some terrace p°pping up hello. we've seen some terrace popping up in places today but for

popping up. but rather cool at times, and by night there is the continued risk of frost and fog. it will turn chilly again through tonight, any daytime showers should fade to leave patches of cloud floating around, some mist and fog patches developing in places as well. temperatures unbalance not quite as low as last night, widespread ground frost and air frost for some but lowest value is likely in north—east scotland, loves values —5 or —6. tomorrow, a similar day, spells of sunshine, one or two showers developing, but with the wind coming off the north sea it will feel quite chilly. 8 or 9, higher temperatures for the west, getting up to 12 or 13. the end of the week, staying dry for most of us and temperatures willjust show signs of starting to creep upwards. hello, this is bbc

man. it comes as the high profile murder trial continues. the defence is expected to begin his case today. the un has warned that the military clampdown on protests in myanmar over recent months risks escalating the country intoa civil conflict like that seen in syria. un high commissioner for human rights michelle bachelet appealed for an end to what she called the slaughter. in a statement she said over 3,000 people have been detained and there are reports that 23 people have been sentenced to death following secret trials. she warned the international community must not allow the deadly mistakes of the past in syria and elsewhere to be repeated. ukraine's foreign minister has met the nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg in brussels to highlight a russian troop build—up on the

covid—19 and nothing should happen to us. but by the grace of the mother goddess ganges, everything is fine here. and there are no problems. there is no issue. i think there is no issue. just they have to take proper care of them themselves by wearing masks and by maintaining some social distancing protocols. the crowds are so large it's hard to enforce coronavirus restrictions. translation: as you can see, we are urging people _ to wear their masks. and until yesterday there were a lot of fines. but because of the crowd today, we're not able to impose fines as it is not practically possible. health experts had appealed for the festival to be cancelled, but the government went ahead. we must recognize that packing together a large number of people, even in an outdoor situation, is likely to be an invitation for the virus to spread more easily. less than 4% of the population has been vaccinated. prime minister narendra modi wants to see these efforts ramped up. but there are reports of vaccine shortages even with the largest manufacturer in the world, the serum institute of india, directing most of its supply for domestic use. that will have a knock on effect for global vaccination efforts, too, because less doses will be sent overseas. global cases have been rising for seven weeks, and the world health organization has warned countries against relaxing restrictions too soon. the trajectory of the pandemic, right now it is growing exponentially. this is not the situation we want to be in 16 months into a pandemic. the japanese government has approved a plan

manslaughter in george floyd's death. as you know george floyd's death. as you know george floyd died in may last year after derek chauvin placed his knee on mr floyd's neck while he said, i can't breathe. it was those final moments recorded on video that led to so many protests against police brutality and racism right across the united states and spread as you know around the world. so today

let's go with five minutes for now. we will leave the trial there of derek chauvin, that's taking a pause, as you are just hearing, and we were hearing there from a paramedic, michelle moseng, a retired paramedic who worked at a local hospital and before that, the defence had called a retired police officer about a previous arrest of george floyd. we will be back with that trial in minnesota just as soon as it resumes in a few minutes' time. in the meantime, let's talk about the pandemic and vaccination programme here in the uk. if you're over 115 and in england you can now book your covid jab, as the vaccination programme enters its next phase. everyone over fifty or in a high risk group has now been offered a first dose, according to the government. ministers say they're on track to offer all adults a vaccine by the end ofjuly. it comes as officals try to contain new cases of the south african variant in south london, where hundreds of thousands of residents have been asked to come forward for tests. the prime minister has warned infections will rise as the economy reopens, and he's urged people to continue to be cautious. jim reed reports. another major milestone for the vaccination programme. all over 50s and those in high—risk groups in the uk have now been offered that first dose. at this vaccination centre in reading, they will now be inviting the next age group down. it's great that we've managed to achieve the target of getting everybody in the one to nine groups vaccinated by the deadline, a little bit ahead, actually. and we are now going to the 115—49 group, they are being asked to come forward. all those aged 115 and up can now use the nhs website to book appointments. the site appeared to crash this morning as thousands more tried to get a slot, though it is now back up and running. overall, more than 32 million people have had at least one jab of the astrazeneca and pfizer vaccines. going forward, though, the nhs will have to give a shot to all those coming back for a second booster dose, while at the same time trying to keep first doses going for those younger age groups. are you feeling well today? yeah, i'm feeling fine. today the first jabs using a third vaccine, made by the american firm moderna, are being given in england following a roll—out in wales and scotland. the supply forecast gives us confidence that assuming those supplies carry on as expected, then yes, we will not only deliver on the april 15th milestone of everybody aged 50 and above having had the chance for a vaccine, but all adults by the end ofjuly. all this comes at an important time in this pandemic. pub gardens and shops in england are now open for the first time this year. the successful vaccine roll—out has helped drive down infections and deaths. but scientists say the public still needs to follow the rules to avoid another wave of infections. the vaccines are only one part of the solution to the problem. people do need to continue to be careful and to avoid infecting each other. you can have this infection without realising it and so there is a risk. there are now all these tests available that people can obtain to test themselves and people should use those and i, certainly, for one, am going to continue to take a lot of care. and today another reminder of how easily this virus can spread. every resident of two london boroughs, wandsworth and lambeth, is being asked to take a pcr covid test. that is after a large cluster of infections caused by a variant of the virus first found in south africa. we have an outbreak _ that we are aware of in a local care home but we also know there has been some spread to the wider community. and we've been testing and tracing contacts from that outbreak. - but what we want to do now is check there is no further spread _ across our boroughs, _ both in lambeth and wandsworth. lambeth council says it is fairly confident it has the outbreak under control, but all those living in the boroughs, plus anyone who travels through, have been told they should get tested to reduce the chance of it spreading. jim reed reporting there. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has brought forward the easing of some covid restrictions ten days earlier than expected. she also said the limits on how many people can meet outdoors will increase to six adults from six households. our correspondent lorna gordon says nicola sturgeon's announcement will be welcomed by many. some big, significant changes coming earlier than expected and it's all to do with that stay local restriction here in scotland that was meant to stay in place until april 26th, so that's a little under two weeks' time, it would have been a week on monday it was lifted, but nicola sturgeon today announcing that because the data, the number of cases, is all moving in the right direction, the case numbers are falling and falling quite fast and quite dramatically, in part because of that vaccination programme, she says they're bringing forward, accelerating the route map out of lockdown and that the stay local restriction will be lifted on friday. at that point, family and friends can travel across scotland for recreation, to see each other, as long as they stay outside. one other key change that comes in on friday, the four people from two different households that are allowed to meet up outdoors will change to six people from six households being allowed to meet outdoors, and that of course doesn't include children under 12, they are in addition to any limited group numbers that are meeting. but the stay local restriction is being lifted on friday, a lot of people will be very pleased to hear that they can meet family and friends who live outside of their council area again. the prime minister has insisted the review he's ordered into the collapsed finance firm that david cameron lobbied for, greensill capital, will be given free reign. but labour says the scope of the investigation is inadequate. it wants a full parliamentary inquiry into what it calls the "rampant cronyism" in government. helen catt reports. how did former prime minister david cameron use his contacts in westminster, and did his employer lex greensill benefit from his efforts? the government is holding a review of schemes the company was involved in, headed by a lawyer. i would like it to be done quickly, but i want him to have the maximum possible access and so we can all understand exactly what happened and that will of course be presented to parliament in due course. in parliament, there are lots of questions already for the health secretary, who went for a drink with mr cameron and mr greensill after the finance firm had proposed using an app it had devised in the nhs. absolutely, i attended a social meeting organised by the former prime minister. and given that departmental business came up, i reported it to officials in the normal way. labour accused the government of a pattern of behaviour. it is cronyism and it stinks. so if he thinks he has done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide, - will he publish all of the minutes, all the e—mails, all— the correspondence, _ all the directions he gave to civil servants and all his text messages with david cameron so we can- see exactly what went on with the awarding i of his contract? there are questions for the business secretary, too. last year greensill was chosen to give loans to other companies, like the owners of liberty steel, as part of a government scheme to help businesses through the pandemic. the british business bank, which ran it, said it wasn't lobbied by mr cameron. the business secretary was asked if he had been. presumably mr cameron didn't lobby you, ministers or officials in the department in...? i have never received a single phone call or whatsapp from mr cameron. lobbying is a usual part of politics, and david cameron says he didn't break any rules, although he said there were lessons to be learned. labour says the review isn't enough. tomorrow it will force a vote to try to get mps to run their own investigation. borisjohnson has boris johnson has been borisjohnson has been talking about the review that downing street have instigated and said that the lawyer who is leading that investigation will have carte blanche to find out what happened. lets talk more about this with our political correspondent. borisjohnson is pretty clear this will be a thorough review or investigation or whatever you want to call it?— you want to call it? yes, he is. he sa s that you want to call it? yes, he is. he says that the _ you want to call it? yes, he is. he says that the review _ you want to call it? yes, he is. he says that the review will _ you want to call it? yes, he is. he says that the review will have - you want to call it? yes, he is. he| says that the review will have carte blanche to question anyone and look into anything. the issue here, i think, that the opposition have, the labour party have is what the scope of the enquiry will be. boris johnson was talking about it having this free reign to look into the issue of supply chain finance, which issue of supply chain finance, which is a very specific thing. this is about how the government pays businesses it deals with and the particular issue here was the nhs and pharmacists and greensill capital stepping in to try to speed up capital stepping in to try to speed up the payments of that and taking a cut from it. the broader issue that labour once looked at is the whole role of david cameron and lobbying more broadly, but i have particularly, on behalf of greensill capital, this finance firm. —— david cameron particularly. and his lobbying, his efforts, to press the government to give greensill capital access to covid financing funds that the government has. that's a separate thing from this payments system. so of course, labour is saying it should be broader. but it is worth saying, too, that we have in the last few minutes had another sort of angle on this story, a new development has emerged which is that this was a former senior civil servant, he was in charge of government procurement, and he left, after he left government, moved to work for greensill capital. this is emerged from the advisory committee on business appointments, the committee that if you are a former civil servant, minister, you apply to them, you let them know when you're moving to an appointment. they had been probing into this move of the civil servant to greensill capital and they have unearthed that he was actually allowed to start advising tinsel capital while he was still in the government, and that advisory role appears to have been approved by the cabinet office. so this committee is saying there are serious questions to be asked about that, they are probing further. so this just adds to the revelations that have been opening up, the more people have been looking into these issues around greensill finance. the bi . . er issues around greensill finance. the bigger picture, though, is whether this sort of lobbying by former prime ministers, former ministers, frankly should be allowed. and the irony of course is that david cameron a few years ago talked about this and said, you know, he didn't like it, didn't like the system of ex ministers doing this kind of work. .. ex ministers doing this kind of work. ., , . ., work. he did, and he predicted that lobb in: work. he did, and he predicted that lobbying would _ work. he did, and he predicted that lobbying would be _ work. he did, and he predicted that lobbying would be the _ work. he did, and he predicted that lobbying would be the next - work. he did, and he predicted that lobbying would be the next big - lobbying would be the next big scandal. this was, i think, lobbying would be the next big scandal. this was, ithink, before he became prime minister, and he was talking about the need to deal with it so watson say now is that this just shows what can happen when you get into office. —— what some are saying now. the links between officeholders and businesses and the movement between the two all need to be looked at. that is, i think, what lies behind labour calling for a broader investigation, they are going to push for, time to get a parliamentary committee set up with a vote in parliament and to try and press that. but also what i think they want to push is notjust a question about former prime ministers and ministers, but also the behaviour of current ministers, because of course, david cameron was picking up the phone and sending text messages but he was being answered by the chancellor, rishi sunak, the health secretary matt hancock, the health secretary today said he did nothing wrong, the chancellor and the treasury have set the proper procedures were followed, but what labour say is that greensill was given, or the company was given some ten meetings at the treasury after david cameron press them to try to find ways to help the firm. meanwhile, many other companies that had been struggling through the pandemic were not given such access. so the questions will be, they want to ask and want to see answered, are around the ministers who responded, rishi sunak saying he was urging the treasury to see what they could do to help, and matt hancock, who had a private meeting with mr greensill but he says he then reported that meeting and the proper procedures were followed. many thanks indeed. trade between the uk and the eu partially recovered in february, after a steep drop following brexit. separate data also suggests the economy grew that month as dharshini david explains. we saw the biggest changes in our trading arrangements in over 110 years and, yes, that has prompted some very big numbers. and as you say, to start the year we saw a big slump injanuary in the sales of goods to europe and that prompted fears that perhaps we saw traders overwhelmed by the extra paperwork and checks they had to go through. but when we got to february's figures it was a different story. we saw a 46.6% rise in exports to the eu, which confirmed what some companies had already told us, that they were simply staying away from the borders because they were concerned about disruption and delays injanuary and they had shipped goods ahead of time to try and avoid that. now they are back trading once again and other firms are getting to grips with the new changes. but having said all of that, if you look at the level of exports they are still well below where they were for much of 2020. there are two things going on there, there is of course the pandemic and that is dampening demand amongst a lot of our competitors out there, but there is also the case that many exporters, particularly when it comes to areas like fresh food, are still struggling with the volume of new formalities they have to go through and they are urging more help from the government. they say without that, not just profits, butjobs could suffer. an east london man who called himself the masked menace has been jailed for life for plotting a terror attack during the coronavirus pandemic. a supporter of the so—called islamic state group, sahayb abu bought an 18—inch sword, a knife, balaclavas and body armour online. the 27—year—old from dagenham was arrested on the ninthjuly after discussing guns with an undercover police officer. he will serve a minimum of 19 years after being found guilty in march of preparing an act of terrorism. around a million students in england are expected to find out when they'll be allowed to resume in—person teaching. it's expected that they may have to wait another month until 17th may to return to campus accommodation and lessons. universities uk has written to the government asking for that date to be brought forward. our education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. the impact of the pandemic on student life has been far—reaching. nearly a million students in england are still waiting for guidance from the government on when they can return to in—person lectures and accommodation. the road map out of lockdown has left some students feeling lost. we are not overly sure what's going on, it's a bit unsettling. the university are trying to adapt to that as well, the uncertainty of what is going to happen. that has made us feel a little bit on edge, and, i don't know... a little bit nervous. i wish they would just give us some certainty, even if it was bad news, just something to know where we are going. students on practical courses including science and creative arts were allowed to return to campuses in march. throughout the pandemic, those studying courses such as medicine, dentistry and social work have been able to continue at university. but there is concern that many students have been left in limbo. the pandemic has had its greatest effect on mental health in young people. and that population includes students, and i genuinely believe it is in the very best interests of our students for them to be back on campus so that we can give them the support they need and they've also got their peer support, and i can't stress how important that peer support is. this is what the government is keen to avoid, a repeat of the spike in cases that followed the mass migration of students last september. universities are keen to reassure that they are covid safe. we have our own testing centre, where students get tested twice a week so we can be sure we are controlling any infection if it were to arise. we have social distancing in the lecture rooms and we have changed all the ventilation arrangements in the lecture rooms so they are fully ventilated to the outside. in england, the government promised a review at easter but many students are still none the wiser about when they can return to university life. elaine dunkley, bbc news. church leaders have appealed for politicians to provide a unified response to what they call "heartbreaking" scenes of violence in northern ireland. almost 90 police officers have been injured in rioting in the past week — although recent nights have been quiet. the appeal was made to northern ireland ministers, the british and irish governments, and the european union. earlier in the commons, the northern ireland secretary, brandon lewis, said there's still work to do to ease tensions. northern ireland has made huge strides over the last two decades, but it is a post—conflict society and there do remain elements of fragility. some sections of the community feel their concerns are not understood. the reconciliation, equality and mutual understanding between the communities and traditions envisaged in the belfast good friday agreement is not recognised or experienced by all. there is still work to do. the shadow northern ireland secretary, louise haigh, critisised the prime minister and said the instability was caused by a loss of trust. the prime minister made promises to the people of northern ireland that there would be no border with great britain, knowing full well his brexit deal would introduce barriers across the irish sea. he made those promises because he knew economic separation would be unacceptable to the unionist community, and the growing political instability we are seeing has its roots in the loss of trust this caused. trust matters. it is what secured and has always sustained the belfast good friday agreement. in moments of instability, what sirjohn major and tony blair, what mo mowlam and the right honourable member for skipton and ripon understood, labour and conservative, is that trust, leadership and partnership are paramount to finding a way forward in northern ireland. chris page is in belfast for us. and politicians are having their say in the commons, what's happening in belfast itself on the streets? weill. belfast itself on the streets? well, after a week _ belfast itself on the streets? well, after a week of _ belfast itself on the streets? well, after a week of street _ belfast itself on the streets? well, after a week of street violence - belfast itself on the streets? well, after a week of street violence in i after a week of street violence in various parts of northern ireland and several towns and cities, the last three nights have been totally quiet. the lull in violence really is down to a number of factors. loyalist groups have called off street protests against, for example, the brexit arrangements for northern ireland because of the death of prince philip, they say that it's not appropriate for demonstrations to be held during the period of mourning so they have appealed for people not to take to the streets in protest. also, i don't think you can underestimate this, the likes of youth workers, church leaders, community activists have been on the ground at the places where there was trouble last week to try to steer any young people who are turning up, perhaps looking to cause trouble, away from those areas, to try to keep a sense of calm. and there has been a lot of work going on on the ground quietly, away from the cameras but nonetheless very effective and very important, to try to quell the unrest in the areas where there was rioting. so now the attention very much turns, as we had in the commons, to the underlying causes, if you like, the politics of the situation. you have unionist politicians and nationalist and cross community parties criticising the government, i suppose for different reasons, in units of the northern ireland protocol, the part of the brexit deal which has resulted in an effective trade border between northern ireland and the rest of the uk that is causing unease amongst loyalists, and also nationalists and the cross community alliance party saying the government needs to be more engaged in northern ireland, for example, there needs to be a summit convened between the british and irish governments under the auspices of a group called the british irish intergovernmental conference which was provided for the good friday agreement. the irish foreign minister simon coveney will be travelling to london to have talks about the situation in northern ireland and the situation rather northern ireland protocol, though he will not be negotiating directly about the protocol because thatis directly about the protocol because that is the european commission's job, he will be looking at some of theissues job, he will be looking at some of the issues around the process to reach agreement between the uk and eu to try to ease the way the particle is operating in the hope that if an agreement is reached on that if an agreement is reached on that between london and brussels in the next few weeks, it may go some way to defusing the tension that exists within loyalism.— way to defusing the tension that exists within
