Perhaps a light shower for northern scotland. 50, perhaps a light shower for northern scotland. So, yes, this dry weather is going to continue as well. It does mean, of course, we get quite a range in temperature through the day. But the High Pressure keeping things dry is just slipping a little bit further north over the weekend, allowing more isobars into Southern Parts of the uk. What does that mean . It means a chilly winter. We are noticing that in the south west at the moment, we will continue to limit the temperature is here to m or 15. Limit the temperature is here to m or15. But limit the temperature is here to m or 15. But for limit the temperature is here to 1a or 15. But for many, it is light winds, high levels of pollen, fairly strong sunshine and we could see the highest temperature of the week so far across the manchester region, perhaps north east wales, 19 or 20 degrees today. Then we will peak and start to dip a little this weekend. Overnight, again, a patchy frost is likely under the Clearing Skies and we pick up a bit of low cloud, we had mist and fog around this morning. With these low temperatures, a little moisture around, that is something we will see over the weekend. But it stays fine, dry, plenty of sunshine, but the night time risk of frost because it is still quite chilly air. We will find Cloud Melting Away tomorrow and it is essentially a repeat of today, perhaps a shower in the north east of scotland, a little more breeze across southern areas in particular and just changing the Wind Direction and bringing it im sure on the north sea coast. Why does that matter . At this time of year, the Sea Temperatures are about as low as they get, the sea lags behind the land, warming up. They get to the mid teens by the end of the summer. So if you are living on the summer. So if you are living on the coast and you have an onshore breeze, with temperatures of eight or nine on the sea, of course it will feel cooler. On the north sea coast, temperatures dip away tomorrow and in the south with that brisk winter. Generally speaking, probably not quite as high temperatures tomorrow as they are today. Perhaps even more cloud on sunday, but not spoiling the day, plenty of dry and fine weather, chilly night to start sunday, but lots of fine and dry and settled weather still to come even if there is cloud around, mostly fair weather. We will notice that breeze in the south, more generally by sunday. Stay tuned to the forecast. Thanks very much. A reminder of our top story the Court Of Appeal clears 39 former subpostmasters of fraud and false accounting after one of the uks most widespread miscarriages ofjustice. It was all about clearing my name. I am not a thief, i am not a fraudster. I am am not a thief, i am not a fraudster. Lam not am not a thief, i am not a fraudster. I am not this person i am an honest person. And that, that is it, that is everything i want. Thats all from the bbc news at one, so its goodbye from me. And on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc� s news teams where you are. Good afternoon, its 1. 30pm and heres your latest sports news. Well start with the confirmation that wembley will host an extra match at this summers european championship, after the venues were finalised by uefa. Lets speak to our sports correspondent, natalie pirks, whos at wembley. And natalie, this was all about the Crowd Capacity in dublin, wasnt it . Thats right. Uefa wanted every ground to confirm that it could host at least 25 of the capacity of fans and dublinjust at least 25 of the capacity of fans and dublin just could at least 25 of the capacity of fans and dublinjust could not at least 25 of the capacity of fans and dublin just could not give those assurances, so there are three Group Matches being moved, to St Petersburg in russia, and their final last 16 matches being moved to wembley. Spare a thought for sweden. They were due to have two or three Group Matches in dublin so they had based themselves there for the entirety of the tournament and now, they will be heading right over to russia. So bad news for them. But todays announcement is good for fans generally. It means that this cross continent euros that uefa had been so desperate to provide is actually going to happen and after a very tumultuous week it is finally some productive news forfans. And if fans had tickets for those matches in dublin, they are being refunded fully, but they then get priority access for the rescheduled matches. So all is not lost for fans who have those tickets. So this will now open it up that england could potentially play in that last 16 tie. Yes, if they win their group. Also scotland darren englands group so if they were to win the group they would be playing here, which isnt their home, but is more accessible for theirfans. Wembley will their home, but is more accessible for their fans. Wembley will host eight matches. It has the semifinals and the final as well. If england want to go all the way they play in seven of them. It is as close to a home tournament as fans could hope to get. For all of the home nations it could be a summer to remember in the capital, because finally it looks like football at least, sort of, is coming home. And a quick word too on some other venue changes too, as bilbao has fallen away like dublin. Yes, bill bauer, the matches have been moved to seville. Munich was able to confirm it could host 111,500 fans, 25 capacity, so it keeps its matches. In terms of here at wembley, on sunday, the government pilot for the carabao cup final, 8000 fans coming in, that is a sign that the government is trying to get back to normality, being very optimistic at the moment. June 21 me now is the road map, where life should return to a little bit of normality. 22,500 fans in here for the first three england games, great news, but after that it could be even more, and the government are remaining tight lipped but cautiously optimistic about that. At least the semifinals in the finals, whoever may be in them, it could be a return to normality in football as we know it. A return to normality in football as we know it we know it. Natalie, at wembley, thank yon the financial backer of the breakaway european super league, jp morgan, has said this morning that it misjudged how fans would react to the competition and would learn from it. The American Investment bank had committed just over £2. 8 billion to the venture. Manchester united were one of the clubs involved and one of their former players, phil neville, who is now head coach at inter miami in the us, gave his reaction to it all. The overriding feeling is that a group of people probably totally misread, or had a lack of knowledge, about what football means to people in england and in europe. When you look back at the history of the six clubs in england that obviously tried to break away, their foundations are based on the Working Class people, based on supporters, Building Theirfan base, and a group of people deciding, probably, to make totally the wrong decision. Defending champion Ronnie Osullivan is in danger of being knocked out in the second round of the World Snooker championship in sheffield. He went into todays opening session level at 4 1; with anthony mcgill, but the scot played near flawless snooker, winning six frames to osullivans two, to take a 10 6 lead. They play to a finish this evening first to 13 wins. And theres nothing to separate last years beaten finalist kyren wilson and Barry Hawkins theyre level at 4 1; after their first session. Thats all the sport for now, but theres more on the bbc sport website, including the latest Premier League news conferences. Ill be back later. Thanks, sarah, with all of the sports news. Good afternoon, youre watching bbc news, imjane hill, to take you through the next few hours of our coverage. We start with coronavirus and specifically with the grim situation now in india. India is in the grip of a devastating second surge of covid 19. India has reported the biggest daily rise in infections of any country since the pandemic began nearly a third of a million cases for the second day in a row. Many families across the uk have loved ones in india, and are now watching helplessly as its Healthcare System is pushed to breaking point. Our correspondent sima kotecha has more. 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 like 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, theyre 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 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, yeah, 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 had been no requests for help from india. But that it would consider any requests very closely, as you would expect. 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 out there, but at the same time i feel helpless, you know . What can we do from here . That report from sima kotecha. We will have more on the Covid Situation in india after tpm. After the japanese Prime Minister has declared a State Of Emergency in tokyo, osaka and two other regions, in an attempt to combat a surge in coronavirus cases. It comes three months before the Tokyo Olympics is set to open. Its set to run from april 25th to may 11th, and will affect a quarter of japans population. Professor seijiro takeshita, from the school of management and information. Well, this used to be one of the icons of Rejuvenating Japan after the decade or two decades of what we call a lost decade ofjapan, where we have been rather stagnating. People are thinking this could be ignition point forjapan, as a new start, and unfortunately i think people are pretty much gutted about the fact that this wave is really simmering that momentum down, to the level where 77 of japanese do not want to have the olympics held, so. I would say this is not only the actual economic impact, but also the psychological impact, which has a very downing effect to the japanese people as a whole. Well, considering that 70 80 of the income actually comes from the televised issues, i dont think it will be much of a pain to have, for example, possibly no attendance in the stadium, for example. It is not as bad as it looks. But that said, again, it goes back to the loss of legacy. What we were trying to do was build a new legacy, where people could understand japan, and considering a lot of people coming to japan, looking at japan, nouveau japan. This new image, this Rejuvenation Stage has unfortunately been postponed or possibly cancelled, so from that Point Of View it is extremely negative from the sentiment of the japanese people. After the immense success of the Rugby World Cup in 2019, the japanese people were very much open arms to, of course, this olympics, but with this wave that is re emerging, not only injapan, but elsewhere and again i repeat the point, the conservative nature of the japanese people. People are backing off, very unfortunately, and this, i really think, is a very gutted move, particularly before the golden week holidays injapan, where this is a time where the Service Sector really rakes in. It is equivalent to the thanksgiving, for example, in the west. So timing wise it is very, very, you know. I would say, depressing. But again, to realise the fact that the wave is becoming really very big, i think this is the only choice that the authorities had to make. Rescuers in indonesia are in a desperate race against time to find 53 sailors trapped inside a missing submarine. The Navy Submarine went missing on wednesday while taking part in a Torpedo Drill off the island of bali. Bbc s Valdya Baraputri injakarta gave more details on the rescue effort. We are seeing a multinational effort to save and evacuate the submarine, nanggala 402. We are seeing singapore, australia, india and malaysia coming to help the Indonesian Navy, and there are seven and ther are seven other countries standing by. Meanwhile, the Indonesian Navy itself has deployed 20 warships, 21, one of them has the Sonar Technology to locate objects underwater, and it is usually used in the event of plane crash in indonesia. Indonesia itself has granted entry to those countries i mentioned, singapore, malaysia, australia and india, who are coming to help, and seven other countries are standing by. They have signed a joint agreement to save each other in the event of emergency, because they are countries who own submarines. We are seeing a large rescue team here. Indonesian president has instructed an all out effort to locate and rescue and bring back the nanggala 402 to safety. It is important to know, because the nanggala 402 only has 72 hours of oxygen reserve, with 53 people on board. The rescue team is really racing with time, and the 72 hours oxygen will last until saturday at least, so it is tomorrow, local time, was missing on wednesday morning, in the northern part of bali water, approximately 96km from the island of bali. An oil spill in the missing area found by the Indonesian Navy. Now, there are theories surrounding the oil spill. First, it might be intentional by the crew, to give sign to where they are, the second one, it might also be intentional by the crew, to lose some weight from the submarine, and the third one, this probably the most unfortunate, but we dont know yet what it means, the fuel tank of the submarine might have been broken by the water pressure. It is important to note that the submarine is more than 40 years old. It was made in 1979 in germany. We will keep you up to date on that certain indonesia. That search, in indonesia. A charity in leeds is helping to provide hundreds of Asylum Seekers with special food parcels for ramadan. Give a gift says many of those it supports are from muslim countries. Under current rules, people . Who claim asylum in the uk are not normally allowed to work whilst their claim is being considered. The home office says it provides those in self catered accommodation with £39. 60 a week, that 5 around £5. 65 . A day. Anisa kadri has more . These are the drivers that have all taken time out today to distribute the ramadan food packs. Up bright and early to help provide more than 1,000 people with a weekly ramadan food parcel. Many of those receiving the packs are Asylum Seekers from muslim countries waiting to hear from the government whether they will let them remain in the uk. It is good to be out with my dad and helping people. It is also quite fun, seeing different people, going to different peoples houses as well. On top of the usual help they provide, five Charitable Organisations have come together to give Festive Foods like dates and a meat voucher for iftar, when muslims open their fasts. They have only got £5 per person per day, so at least what we will do is we will provide them with as many items as they need to put on a good meal for theirfamily for the month of ramadan. Believe it or not, we are fasting, but people actually cook more and, you know, provide a bigger Mealfor Theirfamilies because they have been fasting. So i have been given permission from Bbc Asian Network to follow one of the cars now to drop off one of the food parcels this ramadan, at a time when muslims are encouraged to show more kindness and patience. The family we are meeting says they would be unsafe if they had to return to the country they are from, so we are not showing their faces. They tell us these food parcels are a big help. All these stuffs, let me. Ok, i dont buy to these. I can spend my money on other side, to buy stuff for my children. My sister, she bought this t shirt. I am still wearing this since six years. I am not buying for myself, i want to buy for my children. The home office says they provide Asylum Seekers who would otherwise be destitute with free accommodation and cover their utility costs. They say those in full board accommodation are provided with £8 a week for clothes, nonprescription medicines and travel, while those in self catered accommodation receive a weekly allowance of £39. 60. Ramadan is a time of fasting, but also of charity. At the end of the day you are helping people with the deliveries of these food packages, but also it is the fact that, you know, you will get. Thankfully, you will get food at the end of the day. Not everyone is in that position, so you just think in that manner and the time flies by, the month flies by and you miss it when it is gone. Delivering these packages is just one of the many examples of the charity work carried out by muslims as they mark ramadan. Anisa kadri, bbc news, in leeds. 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 who 5 forced into a nomadic life after losing her husband and herjob. But the film also features real nomads. Sophie long has been to the Nevada Desert to meet some of 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 just 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 thats 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. Bob 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 through pain to healing. Was it difficult for you to watch . Mm hm. Yeah. But in a good way. We both started our journeys 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 meg 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 the movie nomadland showed all of that beauty, because thats why we do this. Thats why i do it. 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. It isa it is a really beautiful film. I will be with you on Monday Morning for the oscar results. So lets see whether it is indeed crowned best picture. Helen willets has the weather. Good afternoon. The settled spell of weather will continue through today and into the weekend but we will still have some chilly mornings as you saw in northamptonshire, followed by a leap in temperatures as we get into the afternoon and remaining dry, because the High Pressure is with us. Centred, as you can see, to the east and a little further north, allowing more isobars into the southern half of the uk meaning a bit more of a breeze, and we will notice the effect of that breeze, as we are doing today across the Channel Islands and the south west. It is quite strong. That is tempering the feel of things here, temperatures not quite as high as yesterday. This is the Satellite Picture from earlier. There will be very little change throughout the rest of daylight. Some cloud and perhaps the odd showerfor the northern isles, about 8 9 here, a little bit lower in the south west, but for many areas, perhaps the highest they have been this week, 18, 19, possibly 20 in North Eastern wales. It will drop away under starry skies quite quickly but because we retain higher temperatures by day they will not be as low by a degree or two tonight, but still cold for most of us with A Touch Of Frost in some localities, and that will continue to be a risk as we go through the weekend, but otherwise, it will stay fine and feel warm for most of us by day with a few subtle changes. On saturday some cloud clearing, morning fog as well, that should melt away. Some high cloud around, with the breeze picking up a little bit more and eastern areas as well. Still relatively high pollen levels for many coming down a bit in the north east, starting to pick up a breeze off the north sea, which will also take temperatures down a little, between 11 13 celsius, not as high as today, and in southern areas we have that brisk breeze. Temperatures not as high tomorrow as they will be today. Going through saturday night into sunday, again, starry skies, with more cloud coming in, so just patchy frost, really. But still, it is a risk and a concern for farmers and growers. And that cloud may hang around more across parts of scotland and central and Eastern England on sunday, not spoiling the day but bringing down temperatures and feeling a little cooler, but some sunshine to enjoy, as well. This is bbc news. The headlines the Court Of Appeal clears 39 former subpostmasters of fraud and false accounting after one of the uks most widespread miscarriages ofjustice. It was all about clearing my name. Im not a thief, im not a fraudster. I am not this person. And that. That is it, that is everything. India joins the Travel Red List the last few people arrived in the uk, just hours before ten days of quarantine became compulsory. India has reported its highest figure for new Daily Infections more than 330,000 cases. Industrial oxygen is now having to be used in hospitals
