It is a cold but a bright start. I will bring you all the weather details in about ten minutes. Good morning. Its friday, the 24th of april. Our top story. New restrictions for people coming to The Uk from india have come into force this morning, as the country has joined The Uks Red List, which effectively bans travel. India has seen Record Infection rates, a rapidly rising Death Toll and the discovery of a new Virus Variant and six hospitals in the Indian Capital Delhi have now completely run out of oxygen. Caroline davies reports. The last few arrivals before india is added to the Red List. There was joy for those who made it back. Its amazing. I feel like kissing the ground. Adita had travelled to india for his grandmothers funeral. It was expensive. Expensive . Yeah, yeah. Just triple the price. But yeah, im finally happy that im home. Yesterday, india saw the highest one tally of new Covid I9 cases anywhere in the world. Crowds built outside hospitals in major cities, as they reached capacity. And there were reports that some died while waiting for oxygen. Shankas family spent the day searching for oxygen for him. His niece told the bbc his relatives drove five hours to find a supplier yesterday. They will have to do the same again today. Its distressing. I cant imagine what the daughter, who is younger than me, my cousin, and they must be going through right outside the hospital. They are stationed outside, running here and there at every lead to fill a cylinder or to get that oxygen. The so called indian variant of the virus is still being investigated. Todays New Restrictions in england means anyone arriving in india from 4am this morning, must quarantine in hotel for ten days at their own expense. Quarantine hotels like the sofitel at heathrow have been running for two months. The management told the bbc its Sister Hotel in gatwick has just opened, employing an extra hundred people, expecting demand to go up. While the industry waits, Hoping International Travel will reopen next month, englands Red List of countries gets longer as countries confront new waves of the virus. Caroline davies, Bbc News. Tim muffet is outside Heathrow Airport for us this morning. Good morning. We do know that there are a number of flights due to arrive from india today. Thats right. There were 39 countries on the Red List, including brazil, argentina and pakistan. But from 4am this Morning India has been added to that list and there are now 40. Added to that list and there are now a0. Anyone travelling from india to The Uk will be refused entry unless they have a uk or irish passport, or residency rights. Then they faced that the ten Day Quarantine. That is out of their own expense. We understand the last flight to make it in before the Red List kicked in was just before seven oclock Last Night. As you say, there are some flights due to arrive from india today. Those now will be Red List arrivals. One of them is due about ten past seven. It is now coming in about eight oclock. That is a Virgin Atlantic Flight from mumbai. Virgin Atlantic Flight from mumbai. Virgin Atlantic Flight from mumbai. Virgin atlantic have confirmed all the people who got onto that flight had to prove they had a booking at a government approved Quarantine Hotel. This is clearly going to cause a huge amount of disruption as we saw in carolines report. The situation in india does seem very desperate. Soaring Infection Rates, hospitals overrun. That is why india is on the Red List. Public Health England confirmed yesterday that a further 55 cases of the variant first seen in india have been found in The Uk, taking the total to 137. Frightening figures. Thank you very much. The convictions of around a0 former postmasters, who were accused of stealing money from the Post Office, are expected to be quashed by the Court Of Appeal today. More than 700 postmasters were prosecuted between 2000 and 201a, because of a faulty Computer System. The Post Office has apologised for its failure, and said todays hearing will be an important milestone in addressing the past.

One dose of either the Astrazeneca Or Pfizer vaccine reduces coronavirus infections by nearly two thirds. A new study by the Office For National Statistics, and the University Of Oxford, also found the jabs work just as well in older and more vulnerable people, as in younger and healthier individuals. Our Science Correspondent Pallab ghosh has more. And a warning there are some Flashing Images in his report. When Margaret Keenan became the first person to be immunized in a mass Vaccination Programme, doctors were confident from the clinical trials that herjab and millions of others would be effective. Since then, Infection Rates have plummeted. But its been hard to tell how much of this has been due to Lockdown Measures, and how much has been down to thejobs. The new study indicates that the vaccines are likely to have had a big impact. It also confirms that the decision to give as many people as possible a first dose by delaying the second, was the right one. Among the findings are that two doses of the Pfizer Biontech Jab reduced infection by 90 . Not enough people have had two doses of the Oxford Astrazeneca Jab to assess its impact. But comparison of the first doses show that its just as good as pfizer. And both jabs are just as effective in people aged over 75, or with underlying health conditions, as they are in younger, healthier people. What weve found is that vaccination works equally well across all ages, and also that people with long Term Health conditions were equally well protected by vaccinations. Weve seen good protection from one dose of vaccine, but weve seen that you get the best protection, having had a second dose of vaccine. So wed really like to encourage people to take up the opportunity to have a second dose of their vaccine once this is available. The next stage of the research is to find out how long the jobs continue to protect people, in order to decide when to begin the next round of vaccinations. Palab ghosh, Bbc News. Hairdressers and beauticians in Northern Ireland can re open from today, as Covid Restrictions are eased. Driving lessons and tests are also back on, along with outdoor Visitor Attractions and some activities like organised Sport And Music rehearsals as long as it takes place outside and without spectators.

Its been called the most widespread Miscarriage Ofjustice in uk history. More than 700 postmasters were wrongly convicted of stealing Post Office money, because of a faulty Computer System. Today, around a0 of those convictions are likely to be quashed by the Court Of Appeal, but in many cases the damage has already been done. I caught up with two women who lost their reputations, their livelihoods and for one of them herfreedom. For 16 years, Seemas Life has been turned upside down. In 2005 she was accused of stealing and falsifying the accounts at the Post Office she ran. The trouble began when a Computer System installed by the Post Office said money was missing from the tills. Every evening we do balancing, which is nothing new because we do balancing in the shop, as well. So every evening when we ran that report, the computer would tell us how much money we should have and then we check how much money we have in the till, and that never balanced. Initially, seema reported the issues to her boss, but the shortfalls continued until a Post Office audit claimed £7a,000 was missing. To make up the gap, seema added money from her own savings and borrowed from family and friends. Only later did it emerge that the Computer System was faulty after seema had been convicted. And of course when you were sent to prison, you were pregnant. When i went into labour i was wearing a tag so i was thinking, my god, what could the midwife be thinking, what kind of mother i am. If i wasnt pregnant i would have killed myself. Was it that bad . It was in there, it was scary. I was put with people who had been Self Harming and anybody can come and stab me. And Seema Isnt alone. Wendy was accused of stealing £26,000. She says she was told she would go to prison if she didnt admit to False Accounting. She was made to serve a Community Sentence and forced to sell her home. You cant explain the feeling that you get when youve had to plead guilty to something that you know you havent done. The next day we went shopping in a local supermarket and as we walked through the door, the whole of the Newspaper Racking was the local paper and it was my face all over it with local Sub Postmistress escapes prison. Butl. I never really got the chance to tell anybody that i hadnt done it. In 2019, a High Courtjudge ruled the Computer System was at fault. The Post Office settled a claim brought by more than 500 claimants that didnt admit liability. For wendy and seema and others in a similar position, todays ruling is about clearing their names and rebuilding their lives. Im not dishonest, i havent stolen anything. I havent defrauded anybody. I havent done that. To have that sort of stress on you constantly. Itsjust awful. But im hoping that now weve got to how far we are that will start to ease and get better. Thanks to both wendy and seema for sharing their stories with us. Well bring you more on this story later on breakfast. Heres some more stories of people that were affected in that Post Office problem. That were affected in that Post Office problem. Fascinating story. You have followed office problem. Fascinating story. You have followed it office problem. Fascinating story. You have followed it for office problem. Fascinating story. You have followed it for years. Lets Take A Look at todays papers. Several of the front pages report on claims from a downing Street Source that the Prime Minister believes his former aide Dominic Cummings has been leaking his texts. The times quotes the source as saying mr cummings was engaged in systematic leaking, and bitter about whats happened since he left. The paper says mr cummings did not respond to its requests for comment. The telegraph has that photo of prince louis which we showed you earlier. The image was taken by his mother, the Duchess Of Cambridge, and shows the Young Royal on his first day at Nursery School earlier this week it was released to mark his third birthDay Today. The guardian has a photograph of a mother cradling her child in the West African nation of burkina faso, where trials of a new anti Malaria Drug have been taking place. The paper calls the results of the experiment a breakthrough. And the Edinburgh Evening News pays tribute to one of the citys most famous singers, the Bay City Rollers Frontman les mckeown, who has died at the age of 65. We will be honouring him later in the programme as well. Shall we Take A Look at the inside . A look at the inside . Yeah. I love this story a look at the inside . Yeah.

We know that Dolphins are pretty loyal. We kind of sense that they are family animals. I that they are family animals. I always think of them as smart. Always in groups. Do not cross a Dolphin. They are known to hold a grudge. Tests have shown that if a Dolphin is not willing to help another one, the Dolphins will remember next time they are shunned by the group. They bear a grudge. They may have a nice smiley face, but do not cross a Dolphin. If they may have a nice smiley face, but do not cross a Dolphin. But do not cross a Dolphin.

So there is new research that suggests you should choose your Lunch Companions wisely. A study is being done at the cafes of massachusetts general hospital. Colleagues who eat together tend to pick the same food, or similarfood that were together tend to pick the same food, or similar food that were similarly healthy. So you and i went out and you decided to do your usual three cheeseburgers, fries and onion rings, you would influence me to have something similar.

The pandemic has exacerbated previously existing problems and there are currently 57,000 unheard cases. The head of the legal system, the lord chiefjustice, will be able to ask the government for as much funding as needed, to open up more courtrooms. Labour wants a guarantee that courts will sit for a total of 120,000 days a year a third more than they presently do. Jeremy cooke has been speaking to those affected by the delays. We have a huge backlog of cases and its not because of covid. A Criminaljustice System struggling in the face of a mountain of delayed cases. Long waits and frustration across The Uk. Defendants left in limbo. Well, itsjust giving me depression and anxiety, everything. Lawyers on hold. Its so frustrating. You go home and you just think, what a waste of everyones time. Victims waiting for justice. Mentally, it destroys you. Youre on a roller coaster. Third time weve tried to get the trial on. Charlie is a barrister in bristol, defending the accused, often with their liberty on the line. The Trial Date is the summer of 2021, so three years after he was arrested. Even when they get inside the Court Building ready to go, delays can still happen. You have to say, im really sorry, i know youre here, i know you have psyched yourself up waiting to give your side of the story, but its a fairly regular that you end up saying, you know, sorry, no justice, not today. Gemma in lancashire is a victim of assault. Her day in court was put back again and again. A couple of days before, if not the day before, i they ring and say, its not going ahead, you need to wait for a new date to come through the post. And thats happening time and time again . Yeah, six refusals for court dates. Gemma was assaulted by her ex partner. Her young daughter saw it happen. The delays added to the misery. Youre building for that final day, for it all to be over, and it doesnt happen. Gemma got help from the charity, victim support. At one point, she felt suicidal. I was left with two options, either i end all the pain and the misery and the notl being able to sleep, or i get into court before it takes me under. Waiting lists in england and wales are at their highest level for years. Covid hasnt helped. This is because of a leak which was leaking into Court Rooms whilst trials were going on. Brooke shanda is a barrister in leeds, worried about the future of her profession, and the future of the entire system. The government made a decision to cost save and what they did, is they sacrificed the system that works. And its now a system which is falling apart. Ministers said today there will be no financial limits to Crown Court operations over the coming year to tackle the backlog. I watched this amazing profession, the entire system just gradually slow down, just grinding to a halt. Labour says the delays shows the government has turned its back on victims of crime. The british system has always worked to provide justice in a timely manner. Important to everyone, including the accused. Im 23 now. This happened when i was 19. It shouldnt have taken this long. Callum was involved in Street Violence in gloucestershire back in 2018, and his case has onlyjust finished. He pleaded guilty to affray. You obviously regret it . Yeah, yeah, it shouldnt have happened. Whats it done to your life . Given me depression, anxiety, everything. I havent been able to get on in my life, because i cant tell people that im going to work for them or anything like that, because i dont know if im going to jail or not. So, itsjust been a whole mess, if you know what i mean . In the end there was no jail for callum. Instead, an Ankle Tag and a suspended sentence. Running the criminaljustice System Cost serious money, but delays also have a cost, psychological and emotional. Its been hard, hasnt it . Very. Did you expect this . I thought itd all be over and done with within a matter of months. But we have finally got it sorted, but its took its toll. Yeah. And that report was byjeremy cooke. Time now to get the news, Travel And Weather where you are. Good morning from Bbc London, im victoria hollins.

The aim is to allow people to see exhibitions that were disrupted by lockdown, and Experience Art in a different way. Lets Take A Look at the Travel Situation now. The Central Line is part suspended between Leytonstone And Epping. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Its another chilly start this morning. Temperatures hovering around zero, but many places above. Just a Patchier Frost out towards the suburbs this morning. Perhaps a little bit of patchy cloud first thing, but that will disappear its another day of blue Sky And Sunshine and another dry day. Now, through the afternoon, got a bit of an easterly breeze, so cooler in the east further west, 17, 18 celsius as a maximum. So actually, in the sunshine, feeling quite pleasant. Now, overnight, its another clear night, largely at least to begin with. Through the early hours, you might see a little bit of low cloud, Mist And Fog developing from the east. Minimum temperature above zero between three and six celsius. Now, High Pressure remains in charge, as you can see, right the way through the weekend. Some sunshine on saturday, again it stays dry. For sunday, there is a bit more cloud, were still underneath that blue the colder Air Mass so it is going to feel a little chillier as we head through sunday. The cloud, though, burning back through the afternoon to some sunny spells, but still no significant rain in the immediate forecast. Im back with the latest from the Bbc London newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, its back to naga and ben. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with Ben Thompson and naga munchetty. Weve been hearing this morning how a devastating second wave of coronavirus is sweeping across india, pushing the Countrys Health Care system to the brink. Werejoined now by our correspondent nikhil inamdar, who is in the state of maharashtra one of the hardest hit regions. Good to see you but the fact you are telling us aboutjust how difficult the system is coping, in terms of coping with just the sheer numbers infected and severely ill. Absolutely. It is a very, very grim situation. Yesterday india shouted a global record, about 315,000 new infections, that has jumped to over 330,000 today. Meanwhile the news we have been getting from hospitals is absolutely devastating. One of the largest hospitals in delhi, many are the sickest patients have died because ventilators were supposedly not working. They have been putting out sos calls Oxygen Cylinders and many hospitals have in fact been doing that they they have barely a few hours of oxygen left. Some even completely Running Out so there is an Oxygen Crisis in the country. People are scrambling to get beds, ventilators, and also a shortage of essential treatment drugs such as remdesivir. The Prime Minister is going to be chairing a meeting of State Ministers where covid has been the worst, or rather states worst hit by covid. You will also be taking stock of the Oxygen Supply Situation but for now the situation on the ground is absolutely not good and we have also heard of yet another tragedy in a City Close to mumbai this morning, where 13 people lost their lives after a fire at an intensive Care Unit in a hospital. Very, very grim situation. Thank you very much for bringing us up to date. Lets discuss this with one of our regular gps. Dr Mohit Mandiratta joins us now from birmingham. Good morning to you. We were hearing some of the devastation that this is causing, particularly on the Health Service and the hospitals in india. How concerned should we be here about this emergence in india . Goad about this emergence in india . Good morninu. About this emergence in india . Good morning we about this emergence in india . Good morning. We have about this emergence in india . 13pm morning. We have heard the shocking statistics, seeing the desperate images this week of what is going on in india. I have Abily In Delhi and the couple are in hospital. Lucky enough to be in hospital, being treated by covid i have family. We are hearing about oxygen supplies Running Out, hospitals being overwhelmed, makeshift funeral players are being made. It is difficult to draw direct comparisons because the infrastructure, geography, population density, it is very different. There are no restrictions on mass gatherings, weddings, Cricket Stadiums have been full, election rallies going on. Many families across the world have been torn apart across the world by the pandemic. I know many will be worried about Loved Ones in india and many countries abroad and although treatments and vaccines may be different i think there is universal advice for everybody. I am being asked they must bite people with family in india and that is hands, face, a space. That is the best way to protect yourself. There was a feeling best way to protect yourself. There was a feeling that best way to protect yourself. There was a feeling that india best way to protect yourself. There was a feeling that india had best way to protect yourself. There was a feeling that india had been spared the worst when many other countries were going through their first and second waves. India seemed relatively unaffected. What do we know about why there has been such a spike right now . I know about why there has been such a spike right now . Spike right now . I think it comes down to potentially spike right now . I think it comes| down to potentially complacency, spike right now . I think it comes down to potentially complacency, may be. As you have said, numbers were low and death rates comparatively to other countries have remained quite low but clearly, as i have said, potentially at the decision to allow mass gatherings have had an impact. Obviously there are investigations into variants and the double Variant Thatis into variants and the double variant that is in india and there are a few cases here. We dont know if it is a variant of concern yet, the numbers here are quite small but obviously there is Research And Evidence gathering ongoing to see if it is more transmissible, less responsive to vaccines or treatments we are offering. It is difficult to put it down to one reason but certainly the complexity of the country, the population density. The Vaccination Programme there, although the numbers are high, over 130 Million vaccinated, in terms of proportion of the population, over1 billion people, they are far behind where we are and we are looking to be where we are at the moment coming out of lockdown is grateful to have the nhs. ,. ,. , lockdown is grateful to have the nhs. ,. ,. ,. ,. , nhs.

You mention those variants that are here in The Uk. Latest figures are here in The Uk. Latest figures suggest 103 cases of this indian variant now reported in The Uk. What do we know about vaccine efficiency, whether the vaccine works against this strain, and whether people should be changing their behaviour . We have been talking about this, flights are now restricted, people coming from india. They are allowed into the country they will have to Hotel Warranty but should we be worried . ~ , worried . Absolutely the right decision with worried . Absolutely the right decision with the worried . Absolutely the right decision with the red worried . Absolutely the right decision with the Red List, worried . Absolutely the right decision with the Red List, we | worried . Absolutely the right decision with the Red List, we dont want to undo the progress we have made here over the last few months, the hard work people have put in by following restrictions and obviously the Vaccination Programme. Difficult to say because the research is ongoing with this new variant and the South African variant and there is a lot of work our public health colleagues and public authorities to deliver Surge Testing so we can really clampdown on this thread. As we unlock the important thing is we are still cautious. Although numbers are still cautious. Although numbers are low make sure you are keeping your distance, washing your hands, wearing a mask. Do not meet indoors, meet outdoors because it is important to protect ourselves. Although the vaccination is a great there are still significant numbers of people who have not been vaccinated or it may be in at risk groups and have not taken up the offer of a vaccine yet. So groups and have not taken up the offer of a vaccine yet. Offer of a vaccine yet. So good to net our offer of a vaccine yet. So good to get your thoughts, offer of a vaccine yet. So good to get your thoughts, Thank Offer of a vaccine yet. So good to get your thoughts, thank you offer of a vaccine yet. So good to | get your thoughts, thank you very much. Doctor Mohit Mandiratta with the latest on the indian variant. The cases in india are soaring and putting so much pressure on the Health Service of there. Mic is looking at the sport. We have been trying to explain how fans have a greater say in football with this new review. It was fun that stops the six English Teams going ahead it was fans. The football authorities, government want this to be a Watershed Moment and want fans to have greater control in how clubs are run. How do we do this . That is what we need to find out. The extraordinary events of the past week have led to the government ordering a review into the Way Football is run. It will be led by fans, and it will look at giving supporters a greater say in the structure of their clubs, as well as examining ownership and finance. Lets get more from our reporter, simon stone. Thanks forjoining us. Giving fans greater control sounds like music to their ears, but how will it work . It will be interesting, as you say, what has happened this week has been described as a Watershed Moment for the game but there are a number of issues that have affected football in recent times. In the autumn are virtually the same clubs, certainly from an english perspective, were pushing forward for a project big picture, which would have given them more control over the game in this country and more finance, as well. In recent times we have had the financial problems that have affected bury and macclesfield and Wigan Athletic and then we have a distribution of essential payments, solidarity payments, parachute payments, Broadcast Money and whether that is doing properly and then we have the owners and Directors Test and issues with that and whether that has been robust enough. The review, led by tracey crouch, former Sports Minister, will look at all that. Whether as in germany, there is a greater say for the fans, a lot of these issues would be stopped from happening because there would be more protection for The Clubs just by virtue of the fans caring more about it. This review will be wide ranging. Tracey crouch will report to the crude Sports Minister, nigel huddleston, and the Culture Secretary Oliver dowden and it will be very interesting to see what recommendations are made. Keg be very interesting to see what recommendations are made. Key to this i think recommendations are made. Key to this i think will recommendations are made. Key to this i think will be recommendations are made. Key to this i think will be some recommendations are made. Key to this i think will be some sort recommendations are made. Key to this i think will be some sort of this i think will be some sort of new legislation, new laws being brought in being talked about whether that is to do with the fit and proper Persons Test with the owners or to control the way clubs are retained by new owners stop we have got so many are retained by new owners stop we have got so man are retained by new owners stop we have got so many foreign owners, it is not ust have got so many foreign owners, it is notjust about have got so many foreign owners, it is notjust about foreign have got so many foreign owners, it is notjust about foreign owners, is not just about foreign owners, but there are issues with uk based owners, as well. Either test for people who run football strong enough . Are at the Distribution Models currently in place arranged in such a way almost to help the game as a whole . Or, as we saw this week, does it appear that a small minority of clubs by benefiting at the expense of the wider game . And this is what needs to be looked at, this is what needs to be looked at, this is what needs to be looked at, this is why people, looking up germany, thinking they dont have the same problems there, should we look at their model where it is just over 50 of The Club that is owned by fans and that, in theory, protects The Club. That is what the review will look at. Protects The Club. That is what the review will look at. Simon, so much to talk about review will look at. Simon, so much to talk about on review will look at. Simon, so much to talk about on this, review will look at. Simon, so much to talk about on this, we review will look at. Simon, so much to talk about on this, we have review will look at. Simon, so much to talk about on this, we have to. To talk about on this, we have to leave it there. After all the controversy this week, the Champions League is still the aim for sides in the english Premier League. Leicester city are looking very strong in third place, after beating West Brom 3 0 Last Night. That really dents their hopes of survival. All the goals came in a 13 minute spell, Jamie Vardy with his first in two months. Leicester have four league matches before they face chelsea in the Fa Cup final in mid may. This is the time of the season where, just because were now arrived in the final, doesnt mean youre going to one foot in and one foot out. So thinking itsjust about the Fa Cup now you know, we have other targets and we have to have that Determination And Commitment until we get to the final. And i thought the players were excellent in that aspect. Britains Cameron Norrie has a huge match to look forward to today hes up against Rafa Nadal, in the quarterfinals of the barcelona open. Their last meeting was at the Australian Open in february, with nadal coming out on top. Norrie made it through in spain when the eighth seed, david goffin, Retired Injured. Norrie took the first set, and the belgian had treatment for a Leg Problem in the second, but he couldnt continue. Now he must use the energy from that defeat in february to take on Rafa Nadal this time. This tie will be very different. It is interesting when you come up with someone who is so good but dont let it get into your head stuck in a can you imagine going up against graf on the dial .

Lovely sunshine. A childrens hospice in the Black Country has been saved from closure thanks to the bereaved parents of a Little Girl who was looked after there. Two million pounds were raised after a groundswell of support from local people for the acorns hospice in walsall, which provides vital care for hundreds of poorly children and their families. Phil mackie has the story. From now on i say dont give up today. This is isabella lyttle. The campaign to save acorns childrens hospice in Walsall Wouldnt have succeeded without her familys support. During her eight Year Battle with cancer it became her second home. But two years ago, just after she died, the trust said it couldnt afford to keep it open, which is when her family Helped Kickstart the fundraising needed to save it. Less than two years later, its future is secure. It is a bit of a rare occurrence, often times at the moment for a lasting and a genuine smile. But, yeah, this news, you know, its been worth all the time and Effort And Outpouring of love from our local community. Its, er. Job done this arts and Crafts Room will always be isabellas place. Isabellas favourite place was the arts and Crafts Room, and now its been named in her honour. Its a real honour and a privilege that you thought about isabella like that, sojust thank you for everything that youve done for us for so long. Aman is one of the many young children for whom acorns is a lifeline and it provides critical support for theirfamilies, too. Every Room Today is occupied by a child who has complex care needs, and families here in the Black Country use the walsall acorns for respite care, and, of course, as in isabellas case, for palliative care, too, which is why the community came together to raise the money to save it. A lot of charities have had a really tough time during the pandemic, as have we. But thanks to peoples generosity, this hospice has stayed open every day of the pandemic every single Day Weve had children and families staying in this hospice, all thanks to how people rallied round and supported the charity. This place, itjust always brings back the most amazing memories. And when i walk in, ijust feel. I feel calm, i feel peaceful. I feel that shes here. And just to see all the staff and to know how much they loved Isabella And how much she loves them. And shesjust. Shes just part of the walls of this place, really. Ijust know how happy shed be, like, to. To see this, to see that its saved. She would love this. The Craft Room has a new name, and the hospice is safe for the next generations of families like isabellas. I hope it brings a Lot Ofjoy to a lot of other children, just like Isabella And. That smile. Phil mackie, Bbc News, walsall. It is wonderful that isabella can be remembered and both parents knowing that so many other children will benefit from their generosity at. What a difference it will make. You saw sarah save what a difference it will make. You saw sarah save most of us will get some kind of glorious weather this weekend. If you are thinking of venturing out to the great outdoors or height ramble you may be interested in this. No Adam Mcclean is at Scafell Pike, in the Lake District, to tell us more. We have to stick to the pats. We have all gone out on an extra walk during lockdown. The warning is that could have some serious consequences for the Countryside Stick to the paths.

Look at this, the Lake District. Look at this, this is our live drone shot from above where we are at wasdale. We are in the shadow of Scafell Pike and the other path that takes you to the top of the mountain. There are around a00 miles of Passacross The National Park and they take effort to maintain and keep in a good condition. Half £1 million is spent on fixing the felts each year and we spent some time with the team beginning a new project here in the western fells. This path is one of hundreds across the Lake Districts fells routes that Help Hikers reach the top of englands highest peaks. Were always repairing the paths in the Lake District and were repairing them for the benefit of the environment, so were stopping the damage to the vegetation and the wildlife here. And thats our main reason for the work that were doing to protect this wonderful scenery of this precious environment. This routes one of the most popular in the Lake District from those completing the three Peaks Challenge to others taking off the highest point in england. To others ticking off the highest point in england. I think the pandemic has made people realise how important the countryside is for their physical and mental Well Being and health. And so theyre getting out into the countryside more and thats absolutely great to see. But, of course, it has an impact. And whats happening is this mountain is literally being worn away. Repairing the Paths Needs Heavy Machinery a challenge for the team fixing the fells. We realised that access for The Machine to do the Machine Restoration was particularly tricky well, impossible, to be honest and that the only way to get The Machine up would be to take it apart, bring it here, fly it up to the summit and then rebuild it the work will repair five damaged sections of the path, with equipment flown by helicopter. Ok, terry, ready to lift. And lifting, terry. After a short four minute flight, the equipment arrives here on the path to the top of Scafell Pike. Piece by Piece Therell soon be a digger near the top of englands highest mountain.

More than 33 Million people in The Uk have now received their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine. And a new study suggests thatjust one shot of the Astrazeneca Or Pfizerjab reduces infections by nearly two thirds, and protects both vulnerable and healthy people. Experts say the findings show that vaccines should be able to control the pandemic. Our Science Correspondent Pallab ghosh has more, and a warning there are some Flashing Images in his report. When Margaret Keenan became the first person to be immunized in a mass Vaccination Programme, doctors were confident from the clinical trials that herjab and millions of others would be effective. Since then, Infection Rates have plummeted. But its been hard to tell how much of this has been due to Lockdown Measures, and how much has been down to the jabs. The new study indicates that the vaccines are likely to have had a big impact. It also confirms that the decision to give as many people as possible a first dose by delaying the second, was the right one. Among the findings are that two doses of the Pfizer Biontech Jab reduced infection by 90 . Not enough people have had two doses of the Oxford Astrazeneca Jab to assess its impact. But comparison of the first doses show that its just as good as pfizer. And both jabs are just as effective in people aged over 75, or with underlying health conditions, as they are in younger, healthier people. What weve found is that vaccination works equally well across all ages, and also that people with long Term Health conditions were equally well protected by vaccinations. Weve seen good protection from one dose of vaccine, but weve seen that you get the best protection, having had a second dose of vaccine. So wed really like to encourage people to take up the opportunity to have a second dose of their vaccine once this is available. The next stage of the research is to find out how long the jabs continue to protect people, in order to decide when to begin the next round of vaccinations. Palab ghosh, Bbc News. Were joined now by Professor Sarah Walker, the chief investigator of the study. Professor walker, thank you for joining me this morning. Now this is positive news. Is it more positive than was perhaps originally thought in terms of the effectiveness of the vaccine . It in terms of the effectiveness of the vaccine . ,. , in terms of the effectiveness of the vaccine . ,. ,. , vaccine . It is always really challenging vaccine .

It is always really challenging because trials give us the best challenging because trials give us the best estimate of how well a new dru the best estimate of how well a new drug or the best estimate of how well a new Drug Or Vaccine works because they look at Drug Or Vaccine works because they look at people who were similar in every look at people who were similar in every characteristic. Some who get the drug every characteristic. Some who get the drug and some who dont. The challenges the drug and some who dont. The challenges that often older people and people with long Term Health conditions dont go into the studies conditions dont go into the studies. Our studies in the general population, random selection across all four population, random selection across all four nations of The Uk, and it gives all four nations of The Uk, and it gives us all four nations of The Uk, and it gives us a all four nations of The Uk, and it gives us a real world estimate of how vaccines are performing outside of a much how vaccines are performing outside of a much more controlled environment. So yes, from that point it is good environment. So yes, from that point it is good news. We show great protection it is good news. We show great protection in people who are older and youngerand to protection in people who are older and younger and to report and dont report and younger and to report and dont report these long Term Health conditions. And also, very importantly, against the Counter Variant importantly, against the Counter Variant. The trials were conducted before variant. The trials were conducted before that was very common. What is actually, before that was very common. What is actually, many of the affections infections actually, many of the affections infections showed good protection.

You reported every friday and commonly in the week every friday and commonly in the week as every friday and commonly in the week as well. It would be going on for at week as well. It would be going on for at least week as well. It would be going on for at least the next year. To try to understand how long protection we are getting from these vaccines, masks. Are getting from these vaccines, masks, when you might need a booster, masks, when you might need a booster, exactly how much protection in terms booster, exactly how much protection in terms of booster, exactly how much protection in terms of antibody responses is needed, in terms of antibody responses is needed, to in terms of antibody responses is needed, to stop people getting coronavirus at the same rates. However coronavirus at the same rates. However encouraging this is, just because you have been vaccinated, one might one or to jab mys, you still can contract coronavirus . Because the Survey Test people every month, because the Survey Test people every month, regardless of whether they have symptoms, we are able to look at infections have symptoms, we are able to look at infections that people dont know they have at infections that people dont know they have had and also infections with much they have had and also infections with much lower levels of virus. So whilst with much lower levels of virus. So whilst we with much lower levels of virus. So whilst we still show benefit from two doses, and even from previous infection two doses, and even from previous infection against those infections without infection against those infections without symptoms, they are not his era. Without symptoms, they are not his era and without symptoms, they are not his era and so without symptoms, they are not his era. And so yes, people can get covid era. And so yes, people can get covid again. They will get it less severely covid again. They will get it less severely. So its great news for an individual severely. So its great news for an individual. But they will definitely have the individual. But they will definitely have the ability to pass it on again. Have the ability to pass it on again, even if the ability is much reduced again, even if the ability is much reduced because there is much less a virus there reduced because there is much less a virus there. Its really important to understand that its not 100 protection. Of course, everyone who. Ets protection. Of course, everyone who gets coronavirus, it is an opportunity for the virus to mutate again~ opportunity for the virus to mutate again and opportunity for the virus to mutate again. And we can see the havoc that new variants again. And we can see the havoc that new variants are causing across the globe new variants are causing across the globe.

Of course, you will be very well aware the horrifying situation in india at the moment, but also the fact that the indian variant, i think the Health Secretary said there had been 103 cases in The Uk.

Obviously everyone is working incredibly hard to stop everyone is working incredibly hard to stop that happening and thats why there is Surge Testing.

One of the things that has l not been clear to me, and there was a lot of speculation, is how long antibodies last. There is half the population which has not had the first vaccine yet.

Obviously we have only had coronavirus around for a year. So those coronavirus around for a year. So those are coronavirus around for a year. So those are the data that we are still really those are the data that we are still really getting. We are still now trying really getting. We are still now trying to really getting.

She was reported missing by her boyfriend in the early hours of march the 8th, and despite an extensive investigation by police, she hasnt been seen since. Abi smitton has more. Investigators in the us virgin islands searching for a british woman missing for over a week now. Her disappearance is making headlines around the world. Sarm heslop was last seen on her Boyfriends Yacht off the coast of stjohn. Sarm was sailing in the us virgin islands when she disappeared, staying with her boyfriend, ryan bane, on his yacht. They had been to dinner on sunday, the 7th of march, on the island of stjohn, before returning to the boat. Ryan told police that when he woke up at two oclock the next morning, Sarm Wasnt there. The us coastguard was alerted almost ten hours later. A huge Search And Rescue operation was launched, with divers and drones combing the water and missing posters put up on land. My tears come up and then theyjust go again. But at some point thats going to come crashing down potentially. Friends and family back home in southampton are desperate for information. Theyve launched a social media campaign, but say theyre frustrated by one part of the investigation. The Boat Hasnt been searched and that, in line with us law, says that can happen. We want the boat searched. And thats in ryans interest. Because if there is nothing else going on untoward, then thats the only thing that can prove his innocence as well. Ryan banes lawyer sent us this statement, saying ryans only hope is if someone is found alive and well. The foreign, Commonwealth And Development office say they are assisting sarms family.

Time now to get the news, Travel And Weather where you are. Good morning from Bbc London, im victoria hollins. A Murder Investigation is underway after a man was killed and another was seriously hurt after a car was driven into them in a Supermarket Car Park. Police were called to Church Street in Walton On Thames Yesterday Afternoon after reports of a fight. A man in his a0s died at the scene. A 26 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. There will be no trains to or from Kings Cross Station today nor saturday and sunday for engineering works. The closure is part of a major programme and includes putting in a new line to make services more reliable. Over the Weekend Thameslink and Moorgate Trains will also be affected. You can see three tunnels behind me one of those has not been open for a0 years so opening that back up, redoing the for a0 years so opening that back up, redoing the signalling, the tracks the whole infrastructure. Its notjust going to improve the capacity of the flexibility here, but its also going to make everything more reliable so its a once in a Generation Investment that our passengers should really feel the benefit from. Londons leafiest postcodes have been revealed in a new study. Data from City Hall suggests five boroughs have more than 25 tree coverage, with barnet, Richmond And Camden being the greenest. East london boroughs tower hamlets, newham and Barking And Dagenham came bottom with less than 13 tree coverage. Today marks the start of the West End Gallery hop which will see Arts Venues staying open later. A0 galleries across mayfair, soho and the surrounding areas are taking part. Visitors will be able go to different sites throughout the evening. The aim is to allow people to see exhibitions that were disrupted by lockdown and Experience Art in a different way. Lets Take A Look at the Travel Situation now. On the tube the Central Line is part suspended between Leytonstone And Epping due to signal problems. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Its another chilly start this morning. Temperatures hovering around zero, but many places above. Just a Patchier Frost out towards the suburbs this morning. Perhaps a little bit of patchy cloud first thing, but that will disappear its another day of blue Sky And Sunshine and another dry day. Now, through the afternoon, got a bit of an easterly breeze, so cooler in the east further west, 17, 18 celsius as a maximum. So actually, in the sunshine, feeling quite pleasant. Now, overnight, its another clear night, largely at least to begin with. Through the early hours, you might see a little bit of low cloud, Mist And Fog developing from the east. Minimum temperature above zero between three and six celsius. Now, High Pressure remains in charge, as you can see, right the way through the weekend. Some sunshine on saturday, again it stays dry. For sunday, there is a bit more cloud, were still underneath that blue the colder Air Mass so it is going to feel a little chillier as we head through sunday. The cloud, though, burning back through the afternoon to some sunny spells, but still no significant rain in the immediate forecast. Im back with the latest from the Bbc London newsroom in an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, its back to naga and ben. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with Ben Thompson and naga munchetty. It is 7 33am. Lets focus now on the news that india is in the grip of a devastating second surge of covid 19. Yesterday the country recorded the highest one Day Tally of cases anywhere in the world. Well, many families across The Uk have Loved Ones in india, and are now watching helplessly as its Healthcare System is pushed to breaking point. Much of britains vast south asian population originates from india. For many there remain strong family links, so the seismic explosion of coronavirus cases over there is causing great Concern And Panic over here. Hi, mum hello. Hi, you all right . Ranjans daughter lives just outside delhi, along with her two children and husband. Im paranoid and keep phoning them and saying, dont leave the house, dont do this, dont do this. But, you know, fair enough, they may not do it but theres other family out there, as well. You know, in gujarat and others. Cousins and things like that in the villages and stuff like that. They are not in the same environment. Every environment in india is different, isnt it . The Covid Backdrop makes her daughter often feel scared and lonely. We are doing everything we can to protect ourselves and build our immunity against it, i suppose. It is very isolated, i do miss my family heaps. And vice versa, they are missing us. The second wave of the virus is ferocious. A nationwide Oxygen Shortage meant scores of patients dying in the western state of Maharashtra Yesterday after their their ventilators shut down. Locals are alarmed and bewildered. Its pretty bad, you know . The sad thing is that we are running short of medication. We are running short of hospital beds. We are running short of ventilators. So thats what it is right now. A few Family Members are at a very critical stage right now. In fact one of them is getting admitted in a hospital in delhi. It was not easy getting a bed for one of our relatives and thats what the situation is. We are not safe. Some are blaming the government religious festivals and other large public gatherings have been allowed to continue, attracting millions. We have to be very careful about. We knew that at least for the next two years we have to maintain a little bit of distance, but the government could have done a lot better. They could have seen this coming and they could have avoided certain gatherings. India has been manufacturing the Astrazeneca Vaccine, supplying countries across the world. This week covax, the group assigned with distributing vaccines to poorer nations, said it will reduce the number of doses sent to other places after india stopped exporting them to help at home. Some believe britain needs to step up its international support. The Uk Government can do a lot more than it currently has. Firstly, it has talked about the surplus vaccines that we will have. What it hasnt done is actually state how many surplus vaccines we are likely to have and what is the timeline of us being able to give those either back to the Covax Facility or have bilateral agreements with places like india, for example. Clearly the government just hasnt given any detail. A number 10 spokesperson said there have been no requests for help from india. But that it would consider any requests very closely, as you would expect. From Aam India will be put on the Red List, so most people who have travelled from there will be refused entry to The Uk. For those here who call it their motherland, indias crisis is theirs, too. What does india mean to you, as someone of indian descent . India means home. My heritage, my culture, everything is from india, you know . My children grew up with that, as well. So i feel deeply about people and the situation over there, but at the same time i feel helpless, you know . What can we do from here . Earlier this month, nayan gangyan travelled from his home in london to northern india to look after his parents, who both contracted coronavirus. Hes hoping to fly back this weekend, but faces a ten Day Quarantine when he gets here. Lets speak to nayan now, and also to his wife vani whos waiting for him back in The Uk. Good morning to you both, nayan and vani. Nayan, maybe you can explain a bit about the situation where you are right now, given everything we have heard about the toll the pandemic is taking on the Health Services there. Pandemic is taking on the Health Services there. Yes, the situation is exactly as services there. Yes, the situation is exactly as it services there.

Thank you for talking to us this morning on bbc breakfast. Thank you to you both. On bbc breakfast. Thank you to you both. i y. , were joined now by dr sakthi karunanithi, the director of public health for lancashire. Good to have you with us again on the programme. You have colleagues and friends in india, yet we did not so long ago that she are wishing them well. From here view in terms of what you are seen, how do you feel about what is going on in situation the country is in . Mr; situation the country is in . My thou~hts situation the country is in . If thoughts are with situation the country is in . M1 thoughts are with my situation the country is in . M1 thoughts are with my friends, my family and my ex Colleagues Harrow are on the front line but also with the families who lost their Loved Ones during this catastrophe. I think we must not forget that this is notjust think we must not forget that this is not just a think we must not forget that this is notjust a catastrophe and a disaster in india, it is a worrying for all of us across the world and we are not out of this yet. So it is clearly a very, very escalating situation in india and we must watch very carefully. We are still waiting to find out about this virus and what this variance actually does. It is a signal it is not over. The Health Secretary is a signal it is not over. The Health Secretary said is a signal it is not over. The Health Secretary said there were 103 cases of the variant here. Just to focus on india. You said we need to watch. The indian government has said it needs to import 50,000 tonnes of medical oxygen as those cases increase. There have been talks of russia perhaps giving Remdesivir Treatment and oxygen. What more should be done . J Remdesivir Treatment and oxygen. What more should be done . I think it is not ust what more should be done . I think it is notjust watching, what more should be done . I think it is not just watching, it what more should be done . I think it is notjust watching, it also what more should be done . I think it is notjust watching, it also needs is notjust watching, it also needs a truly international endeavour. It requires action from multiple partners, ranging from vaccines to supplies and also sharing intelligence and mobilising our scientific capacity to support this effort and i think that is happening to a large extent but one can be done, certainly, on the vaccine front. This current disaster is something we cannot do much about now other than bailing it out through efforts of the Health System and relate supporting families through this period. India and relate supporting families through this period. Through this period. India is experiencing through this period. India is experiencing this through this period. India is experiencing this on through this period. India is experiencing this on a through this period. India is| experiencing this on a much through this period. India is experiencing this on a much larger scale but the two microwaves we experienced here, we must not forget that, and the pressure on the nhs and our systems. The two waves. What advice can we pass on to help now it is india simply have to watch this play out . This play out . With the current events, this play out . With the current events. It this play out . With the current events, it really this play out . With the current events, it really has this play out . With the current events, it really has to this play out . With the current events, it really has to play i this play out . With the current| events, it really has to play out and how strong the Health Care System is in any country it will determine the outcomes of the immediate crisis. But i think from The Uk perspective, we have learned to anticipate things and we have also learnt the importance of data and the importance of Science And Research pretty much live in real time to track the virus and continue to keep our communities informed and protected. What appears to be vaccine, as you would expect with any virus, with this variance, we have to be patient in our efforts to relax restrictions. Certainly the international travel aspects of this, we are seeing, as the cases are at the lowest in our part of the world, the proportion of cases associated with travel is on the rise and this must be a Warning Sign for plans to lift restrictions for the next steps ahead. For plans to lift restrictions for the next steps ahead. What the firm data do you the next steps ahead. What the firm data do you think the next steps ahead. What the firm data do you think is the next steps ahead. What the firm data do you think is needed . The next steps ahead. What the firm data do you think is needed . We the next steps ahead. What the firm i data do you think is needed . We have been told by the government that no date in terms of the pack out of lockdown has been set, but the data will dictate whether we can stick to the timetable. Specifically in terms of international travel, and you have been very clear about the cautious approach being needed, what data would mean that there dates are pushed back and pushed away . J am pushed back and pushed away . I am talkin pushed back and pushed away . J n talking particularly about international travel and, yes, vaccines are doing a great role here in this country, but still only 20 of us are fully protected with double doses and clearly the rest of the world is not. One of the things we really need to watch is the scale of this issue and people travelling, how many of them have been found testing positive, and clearly we can do a lot more in terms of protecting ourselves on this side of the border on the flight by introducing tests on the flight by introducing tests on arrival. At the moment you can get yourself tested three days before travel and a few days after travel. I think we could do more on that in terms of testing on arrival so we can detect cases early and support people with quarantine and isolation. It is notjust about covid, the scale of this issue means there is a lot of anguish in our communities, least of the state mental health but also children are missing school and simulate the financial ability to pay for your quarantine on this scale. There are a number of complex issues. Particularly related to international travel. A5 particularly related to international travel. As the director of international travel. As the director of public international travel. As the director of public health, i international travel. As the director of public health, would you go so far as to say we should not open up international travel as planned at this moment in time . J planned at this moment in time . I think there is a case for it. I need to understand, we all need to understand this variance and its relative advantage over the current strain circulating in britain. But certainly i would advise caution against international travel on the 17th Of May before we understand this virus. And actually i would go further to say we probably need to protect a lot more people with double doses of vaccine before we can consider international travel in its fullest sense. Its fullest sense. Very clear message. Its fullest sense. Very clear message, thank its fullest sense. Very clear message, thank you its fullest sense. Very clear message, thank you very i its fullest sense. Very clear message, thank you very much, dr sakthi karunanithi, the director of public health for lancashire county council. Thank you. You public health for lancashire county council. Thank you.

Beautiful. Tell council. Thank you. You could hear the birdsong. Beautiful. Tell you i the birdsong. Beautiful. Tell you what else is looking beautiful this morning, Arundel Castle. Sarah is there and it is a beautiful star in many parts of the country. It is changeable and there is still some frost in places. I am thats right. So good morning. Beautiful start to the day at Arundel Castle. Really spectacular. The oldest part of The Castle dates back around 1000 years and it is home to the duke of norfolk. Every year at The Castle gardens host one of The Uks largest ever annual Tulip Festival is under way now in full swing, some of the tulips have been related to blue this year because of the cold weather we have seen recently but they are all coming out now and it is St Georges Day to day so in how much to the St Georges cross we have found some white narcissus daffodils and they are interspersed with the red Apple Donor tulips. There are Tulips Of every size, colour, variety, 100,000 tulips and 180 different varieties. You knew there were so tulips around . Here this morning it is a beautiful bright start but it certainly has Bean Chili first thing. Elsewhere a Cold Start, temperatures down at around minus three degrees first thing this morning. Another dry day ahead, Sunny Skies for most. It will be a bit breezy, especially across the South West of england at times today, where we have a few more isobars on the back but for most it isobars on the back but for most it is High Pressure holding onto our weather. After the chilly start things will warm up quite nicely. The sunshine is quite strong at this time of year, so high levels of uv and you may notice high levels of pollen around if you are a Hay Fever Sufferer. Mainly Light Winds that breezy conditions across the channel islands, the Isles Of Scilly, to the South West of england, as well. For most, temperatures up into the lid, possibly high teens, possibly 20 degrees in one or two spots but cooler around the east with the breeze from the north sea. This evening and overnight, cold once again under clear skies with Light Winds around. Not quite as cold as some recent nights, temperatures around two to 60 degrees first Thing Tomorrow morning. Could be a touch of frost six degrees. Saturday, another dry day, lots of sunshine, a bit more cloud around here and there particular across parts of eastern scotland. Temperatures in the west getting up to about 18, possibly 19 Degrees Tomorrow but it will turn a little cooler around the East Coast for the likes of aberdeen, down to norfolk. Then it is turning cooler again as we head into the second half of the weekend. As we had three Saturday Night and into sunday, that is when we will see that cool it out working in and the breeze will turn to more of an easterly direction. That is how we get to sunday, The Cloud will filter in, particularly for central and eastern england. Temperatures around parts of norfolk for instance only around nine or 10 degrees, further west, when you keep hold of the sunshine for longer, it could stilljust hold of the sunshine for longer, it could still just about hold of the sunshine for longer, it could stilljust about get into the mid to high teens. Still breeze through the English Channel and particularly across the South West of england. Away from there, for the rest of The Uk, generally Light Winds. It is looking dry over the next few days, not much in the way of rain in the forecast at all for the next few days certainly, but for now i will leave you with the beautiful stunning views of the Blue Skies above Arundel Castle this morning. Trite skies above Arundel Castle this morninu. ~. Skies above Arundel Castle this mornini. ,. , skies above Arundel Castle this morninu. ~. ,. ,. , morning. We are not complaining about that at morning. We are not complaining about that at all morning. We are not complaining about that at all thank morning. We are not complaining about that at all thank you morning. We are not complaining about that at all thank you so i about that at all thank you so much. That is Arundel Castle failing in sunshine. Sarah is down there somewhere and most of the daffodils and tulips. This is a really interesting one fast. After this is a really interesting one after all controversy, reviewing to help is run. It strikes me, a lot of parallels with the Business World about keeping an eye on the way your business is run, not necessarily the day to Day Stuff but the big decisions stop weather owners of football should be custodians rather than the all seeing controllers who decide everything and fans want a greater say. Decide everything and fans want a greatersay. Despite decide everything and fans want a greater say. Despite colleges we saw yesterday, a process are continuing at the Manchester United Training Ground. Protests are continuing. The protests have led to the government ordering a review into the Way Football is run. And over the coming weeks, it will come up with a range of proposals and potentially new laws. It will be led by fans alongside the former Sports Minister tracey crouch. Key to the review will be looking at giving supporters a greater say in the structure of their clubs, and studying the german model, where Owners Cant Control more than a9 of clubs. Also, it will look at ownership tests and club finances, and creating a new independent regulator will also be considered. Many Premier League managers gave their news Conferences Yesterday and they didnt hold back with their opinions of the collapsed breakaway european super league. Everton Manager Carlo Ancelotti had some withering words for those behind the plans. What can i say . They were wrong those 12 clubs were wrong because i think they didnt take into consideration the opinion of two parts, really important. One are the players and the managers, also and the other part are the supporters. They didnt go to the. They didnt take into consideration these opinion. After all the controversy, the Champions League is still the aim for sides in the english Premier League. Leicester City Manager Brendan Rodgers said his side were as good as the top boys after they strengthened their hold on third place Jamie Vardy scoring for the first time in two months in a 3 0 win over West Brom, which really dents their hopes of survival. Wembley looks likely to host an extra game at this summers european championship. Uefa is discussing the 12 original Venues Today, and they need assurances that at least a quarter of the usual capacity will be allowed into the games. So dublin is certain to lose the fixtures it was due to stage, along with bilbao and possibly munich, and wembley is set to be given another last 16 tie, which could involve england. Britains simon yates is very well placed to win the tour of the alps. He has a lead of 58 seconds going into todays final stage. He extended his advantage with third place in yesterdays stage, and hes looking in good form as he prepares for the Giro Ditalia next month. Defending Champion Ronnie Osullivan has a tight match on his hands at the world snooker championship. He was a 1 up against Anthony Mcgill in the second round, but he was reeled in by the scot, and they go into todays opening session at four frames all. Should be a good watch on Bbc Iplayer and bbc two and bbc two later. That is all for now stop thank you very much. The delayed academy awards will be rolling out the red carpet once more this weekend in los angeles. And one of the frontrunners for best picture is nomadland which has six nominations. Frances mcdormand plays a woman whos forced into a nomadic life after losing her husband and herjob. But the film also features real nomads. Our West Coast of america correspondent, sophie long, has been to the Nevada Desert to meet them. Nomadland is the story of one Widows Journey through grief and the american west. But its a story that resonates with many who dwell in the vans that dot the Desert Landscape here. Its kind of simpatico with ferns story. My husband died and we dont have kids. So ijust sold everything and thought i would travel for a little bit and fell in love with it. And i cant see me living a different way now. Grief is not uncommon amongst the nomad community. My daughter had passed away from brain cancer. And somehow ijust intuitively knew that i needed to hit the road, even though that is something i had never done in my entire life. Some are here through choice, others through necessity. Together they form a community of freedom lovers who want to camp alone, alongside others. We not only accept the tyranny of the dollar. Bub wells was forced into it after divorce devastated him economically. But he fell in love with it and now teaches others to do the same, as well as playing himself in a film with six oscar nominations. It was amazing. The things that really stands out to me is how well they captured the nomadic life. Every detail of it is spot on. None of it is fake or hollywood ised in any way, shape or form. Its really, really accurate. Acutely accurate and emotional for those who have travelled the same path from pain to healing. Was it difficult for you to watch . Mm hm. Yeah. But in a good way. We both started our journey similarly. And shes so happy. And im so happy. Why does that make me cry . I dont know. But like, i think thats the best part of it, it just shows joy through it. Most of us in this lifestyle use a five gallon bucket. It also made stars of nomads, who helped a female director make history. It didnt feel like we were subjects to be filmed. We were people who had a story to tell. Im so happy for the film makers. And im happy for us. I mean, like i said, i think itjust shows our heart and the reality of this lifestyle. Sarah has a condition which presents extra challenges when living in a car in a desert that isnt paved. Ifinally saw my life on a regular movie. And i wasjust like, oh my gosh, thats so weird and so neat, because people dont normally see the beauty of this life. They dont see the landscapes and the animals and the beautiful places that we get to camp. And i love that of the Movie Nomadland showed all of that beauty, because thats why we do this. Thats why i do this. Nomadland is dedicated to those finding joy in a journey, the ones that had to depart. Dont ever say a final goodbye. Lets just say, ill see you down the road. Sophie long, Bbc News, the Nevada Desert. Looks absolutely stunning. We will be back shortly. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Ben Thompson and naga munchetty.

They found that one dose of either the pfizer or Astrazeneca Vaccine reduces coronavirus infections by nearly two thirds. The Office For National Statistics and the University Of Oxford also discovered the jabs workjust as well in older and more vulnerable people, as in younger and healthier individuals. The huge sums of money the government has borrowed during the pandemic has pushed the deficit to its highest point since the end of the second world war. Figures from the Office For National Statistics show the Governments Deficit reached more than 303 Billion pounds in the financial year to the end of march. This is the highest level since 19a6.

Its been called the most widespread Miscarriage Ofjustice in uk history. More than 700 postmasters were wrongly convicted of stealing Post Office money, because of a faulty Computer System. Today, around a0 of those convictions are likely to be quashed by the Court Of Appeal, but in many cases the damage has already been done. I caught up with two women who lost their reputations, their livelihoods and for one of them herfreedom. For 16 years, Seemas Life has been turned upside down. In 2005 she was accused of stealing and falsifying the accounts at the Post Office she ran. The trouble began when a Computer System installed by the Post Office said money was missing from the tills. Every evening we do balancing, which is nothing new because we do balancing in the shop, as well. So every evening when we ran that report, the computer would tell us how much money we should have and then we check how much money we have in the till, and that never balanced. Initially, seema reported the issues to her boss, but the shortfalls continued until a Post Office audit claimed £7a,000 was missing. To make up the gap, seema added money from her own savings and borrowed from family and friends. Only later did it emerge that the Computer System was faulty after seema had been convicted. And of course when you were sent to prison, you were pregnant. When i went into labour i was wearing a tag so i was thinking, my god, what could the midwife be thinking, what kind of mother i am. If i wasnt pregnant i would have killed myself. Was it that bad . It was in there, it was scary. I was put with people who had been Self Harming and anybody can come and stab me. And Seema Isnt alone. Wendy was accused of stealing £26,000. She says she was told she would go to prison if she didnt admit to False Accounting. She was made to serve a Community Sentence and forced to sell her home. You cant explain the feeling that you get when youve had to plead guilty to something that you know you havent done. The next day we went shopping in a local supermarket and as we walked through the door, the whole of the Newspaper Racking was the local paper and it was my face all over it with local Sub Postmistress escapes prison. Butl. I never really got the chance to tell anybody that i hadnt done it. In 2019, a High Courtjudge ruled the Computer System was at fault. The Post Office settled a claim brought by more than 500 claimants that didnt admit liability. For wendy and seema and others in a similar position, todays ruling is about clearing their names and rebuilding their lives. Im not dishonest, i havent stolen anything. I havent defrauded anybody. I havent done that. To have that sort of stress on you constantly. Itsjust awful. But im hoping that now weve got to how far we are that will start to ease and get better. One of those waiting to clear her Name Today Isjo hamilton, who was convicted of stealing £36,000 from her Post Office in hampshire. Shejoins us now from outside the royal Courts Ofjustice.

Earlier this week, history was made on mars when a small helicopter completed the very first powered flight on another planet. Weve got our very own version of Nasas Ingenuity drone right here in the studio. The helicopter is about the size of a chihuahua. I reckon eight hopster. It looks like a toaster. And because the atmosphere on mars is so thin, its blades have to spin more than 2,500 times every minute so it can get in the air. Yesterday it took its second flight on the red planet, making another small but significant leap for space exploration. It stayed in the air for almost a minute, reaching heights of five metres. Previously, it managed to hover three metres above the ground for 39 seconds. But this time, it was able to move sideways, before reversing and putting itself back down on the same spot it took off from.

Were going to take some time now to remember a voice and a face which graced tens of millions of teenage bedrooms during the 19705. Were talking of course about les mckeown, the Lead Singer of the Bay City rollers, who has died at the age of 65. Bbc scotlands arts correspondent, pollie mclean, has been looking back at his life. Well, we sang shang a lang as we ran with the gang. They came from scotland, but in the 19705 the world belonged to the Bay City rollers. Les mckeown was just 17 when hejoined the group Lead Singer on a string of hits. Bye, bye, baby. Poster boy for A Million Tartan Scarf waving fans. The band sold 100 Million records and topped the charts in every record selling country, but they had to fight a lengthy legal battle to claim a share. Les left the band in 1978 and launched a series of solo projects, but in 2015 came the news that rollers had been waiting for. The band were back together for a series of gigs which were so popular they had to add more. And more. Les family announced his death on social media. They said it had been a shock and a profound loss. He was 65. For fans around the world, it will also be a blow teenagers no more, but hearts still broken. That was bbc scotlands arts correspondent, pollie mclean, reporting. And we can speak now to the Veteran Dj and broadcasterjohnnie walker, who knew les mckeown. Nice to see you. Good morning.

Well, he had immense charm, he was a great immense charm, he was a great singer, he was very forgiving because i was rather rude about their music at one point. He had a wonderful sense of humour and he didnt take things too seriously and i interviewed him a couple of times.

Is to announce the chart on tuesday and i now swim six the week that bye, bye, baby by the Bay City rollers was at number one and i didnt sound enthusiastic about it. My producer came in and said the Bbc Switchboard is jammed with angry Bay City rollers that you didnt sound enthusiastic about their number one and you should apologise. That was not a good suggestion because i felt at the end of the record, i wont apologise. I said, i dont mind you liking whichever group you like, but dont expect me to love them. I think they make musical garbage. It was not a very nice thing to say and i do apologise now for updating all Bay City rollers fans at the time. Part of it was a fact that the press were hailing them as the new beatles because of the fan hysteria. They were very successful and sold over 100 Million records. They did a great thing for scotland and for tartan. Millions of girls the world over absolutely loved them, so i shouldnt have been so. Iterate over absolutely loved them, so i shouldnt have been so.

I have felt so disconnected, the fans, they have No Idea about this so called big six going into the european elite. This was at the Training Ground at Manchester United, they made their feelings known. The Government Review will be led by the fans as they continue to make their feelings clear in the fallout from the super league debacle. Yesterday we saw supporters gathering at Manchester Uniteds training complex, calling on the owners the Glazer Family to resign. And that actually ended up with manager ole Gunnar Solksjaer speaking to the group to end the protest. The strength of feeling shown has led to the Government Review into the Way Football is run in england being started straight away. Alongside the fans will be the former Sports Minister tracey crouch, and it will look at ways of giving supporters greater Influence Theyll Study the german bundesliga model. The scrutiny of potential owners could be strengthen with new controls brought in, and a new independent regulator could be created. One of the things the breakaway clubs were unhappy with was the structure of the Champions League but winning a place is still the ambition for Premier League sides. Leicester city would love to be there and theyre looking very strong, still third in the table, after beating West Brom 3 0 Last Night Jamie Vardy scoring for the first time in two months. That puts leicester four points clear of their nearest rivals chelsea, but puts a huge dent in West Broms hopes of survival. Wembley looks likely to host an extra game, at this summers european championship. Uefa is discussing issues with the 12 original Venues Today and they need assurances that at least a quarter of the usual capacity will be allowed into games so dublin will lose its fixtures, along with bilbao and possibly munich, with wembley set to be given another last 16 tie, which could involve england. If they make it that far british number two Cameron Norrie has a huge match to look forward to today hes up against Rafa Nadal in the quarter finals of the barcelona open. Norrie made it through when the eighth seed, david goffin, Retired Injured he had treatment for a Leg Problem in the second set, but he couldnt continue. Norries progress could take him back into the worlds top 50. You could say the pressure is off. He lost to the spaniard back in february so maybe he can channel that unloads and lessons.

The Sun Hasjust risen above at Wasdale Head. The Sun Hasjust risen above Scafell Pike and we are close risen above Scafell Pike and we are close to risen above Scafell Pike and we are close to the start of a footpath that will close to the start of a footpath that will take you right to the top. There that will take you right to the top. There are that will take you right to the top. There are 400 miles of footpaths across there are 400 miles of footpaths across the there are 400 miles of footpaths across the national park, half £1 million across the national park, half £1 million is across the national park, half £1 million is spent on maintaining them every million is spent on maintaining them every year million is spent on maintaining them every year and we spent the day with a team every year and we spent the day with a team who every year and we spent the day with a team who have been fixing the fells. This path is one of hundreds across the Lake Districts fells routes that Help Hikers reach the top of englands highest peaks. Were always repairing the paths in the Lake District and were repairing them for the benefit of the environment, so were stopping the damage to the vegetation and the wildlife here. And thats our main reason for the work that were doing to protect this wonderful scenery and this precious environment. This routes one of the most popular in the Lake District from those completing the three Peaks Challenge to others ticking off the highest point in england. I think the pandemic has made people realise how important the countryside is for their physical and mental Well Being and health. And so theyre getting out into the countryside more and thats absolutely great to see. But, of course, it has an impact. And whats happening is this mountain is literally being worn away. Repairing the Paths Needs Heavy Machinery a challenge for the team fixing the fells. We realised that access for The Machine to do the Machine Restoration was particularly tricky well, impossible, to be honest and that the only way to get The Machine up would be to take it apart, bring it here, fly it up to the summit and then rebuild it the work will repair five damaged sections of the path, with equipment flown up by helicopter. Ok, terry, ready to lift. And lifting, terry. After a short four minute flight, the equipment arrives here on the path to the top of Scafell Pike. Piece by Piece Therell soon be a digger near the top of englands highest mountain. Certainly around these hills, wind can play a big part of the Aviation Turbulence Wind shear, down drafts weve always got to be aware of that. This helicopter is capable of lifting 1. 2 tonnes, and thats right at its maximum weight. So if we have any outside influences which may affect our performance, weve got to be extremely careful and certainly when were working around people on the ground, as well. And for those enjoying a walk, the hard work didnt go unnoticed. I think the work to maintain and restore the paths is fantastic because it makes it much more accessible for people to get up the mountain. And its a Beautiful View. You can see the isle of man, you can see all around ive made good use of the panoramic feature on my phones camera. Itjust makes you feel so much safer going up this sort of path, especially compared to, like, the other other Mountain Paths ive been on you feel looked after. High Visitor Numbers and extreme weather are eroding englands highest mountains. Its hoped this work will help preserve them for the future. We thought we would take a brief break from footpaths for the moment. A Baby Lamb Hasjust been born in the field next to us in the valley. We simply had to share that with you. This work is taking place on the footpaths over the next six months, so if you do fancy being one of the quarter of A Million people who climb this mountain every year, then do say hello to the team if you see them working on the footpaths. But as the country and the countryside opens up it is easy to understand why these footpaths have to be ready for the sheer number of boots making their way up those footpaths over the coming months. The views from the top are simply unbelievable and lets just leave you with this view, live from our drone above Wasdale Head from Scafell Pike.
