Wiltshire and North Wales. A warning that most of the uks Summer Festivals could be called off because they cant get Covid Cancellation insurance. And, quack ing the puzzle of how to safely remove this family of ducks from a ninth floor balcony. Good Afternoon And Welcome to Bbc News. The government has changed its guidance for Care Homes in england. From tuesday, residents can go out for walks, or visit relatives� gardens, without having to self isolate for 2 weeks on their return. The Vaccine Programme and the falling rate of infection has led to the change. Campaigners had threatened legal action, arguing that residents� Human Rights were being breached. Well earlier i spoke to west End Star ruthie henshall, whose mother is living in a Care Home. I asked her about her reaction to the rule change. Although to the rule change. I welcome what they said, to although i welcome what they said, to me it means nothing because what is still happening is there is a Postcode Lottery and the Care Homes are making up their own rules. Because if they get a case of covid the government are not there to help them, so, where you might think that this is great news and people will get to go out, it is just not happening like that. There are people who are still going to be seeing their Loved Ones through a plastic covering. 50 seeing their Loved Ones through a plastic covering. Seeing their Loved Ones through a plastic covering. So you think that will still be plastic covering. So you think that will still be happening plastic covering. So you think that will still be happening when plastic covering. So you think that will still be happening when the i will still be happening when the rules change on tuesday . Is that about simply not enough staff to manage the situation . What is driving that . I manage the situation . What is driving that . Driving that . I think it is a combination driving that . I think it is a combination but driving that . I think it is a combination but i driving that . I think it is a combination but i also driving that . I think it is a combination but i also do| driving that . I think it is a combination but i also do think driving that . I think it is a combination but i also do think from the Care Homes point of view, they are overwhelmed but i think, also, because when i go to see my mother i have to have a full test. Every time i have to be tested with a lateral flow, ppe, wait half an hour before i get to go in, it is quite a performance to have to go through in order to safely see my mother, which is fine, we are all prepared to do that but what is happening is, and i promise this is happening because it is breaking my heart, all the messages i am being given, there are still people who have not even got into the home yet. That is what is happening. And because we enshrined in law, our rights as an essential care team, that is what we are going to parliament for next tuesday because without it being law, the Care Homes, it is a Postcode Lottery and they can make up their own rules and they can make up their own rules and understandably so because they are kind of frightened that, you know, if everything goes Pete Tong then they are liable and what i do want to say is the cases of covid are. Ask any of the Care Homes who have been opening up. Up, the difference in the my mother is remarkable. Its been commented on fourth not the light is back on in her eyes, she needs herfamily around her. The touch, more than anything, she moaned with delight when i hugged her and touched her. And i go and feed her and why shouldnt they have their Human Rights which is, to have other people, we are allowed to go outside with six people now and it will continue to open up. Give the Care Home residents the same. Give them, you know, a life because they are not getting. They have not got her life. My mother was in her room most of the time now. They cannot cope trying to get people in and out for visits and it is a half hour visit. My visits and it is a half hour visit. My sister gets once every two or three weeks because she cannot get. There are too many people trying to get in and visit with all the covid restrictions. So that is not a meaningful visit behind a screen for half an hour once every three weeks. I screen for half an hour once every three weeke three weeks. I think you are also sa in three weeks. I think you are also saying that three weeks. I think you are also saying that over three weeks. I think you are also saying that over the three weeks. I think you are also saying that over the course three weeks. I think you are also saying that over the course of. Three weeks. I think you are also| saying that over the course of the pandemic, so this is more than a year now, your mother, lots and lots of older men and women in the same situation, they have deteriorated because, of course, they have missed Human Contact. That because, of course, they have missed Human Contact Human Contact. That is what is most im ortant. Human contact. That is what is most important that Human Contact. That is what is most important. That is Human Contact. That is what is most important. That is where Human Contact. That is what is most important. That is where i Human Contact. That is what is most important. That is where i am Human Contact. That is what is most important. That is where i am reallyj important. That is where i am really frustrated with the government because they need to step up and make it a law because the difference in my mother within four months of being locked down in her room on her own, which we understand, we had to do back then, but she was, she was walking and talking and feeding herself before lockdown and four months later, of 20 47 in her room she was not walking, talking, her food has to be mashed up and her drinks have to be thickened. She literally had no stimulation. We are their memories, their eyes, their ears and people who know them. So therefore we need to be in there with them. And to not let that be happening. To let that be down to each Care Home to decide what the rules are because that is what is happening. It is not ok. It isjust cruel. It is still cruel. In a few minutes Kate Silverton will be here with a Round Up of the Days News but first the Covid Situation in india continues to worsen. Its become the first country to record more than 400 Thousand Coronavirus Infections in a single day. While prime Minister Narender Modis government has kick started the Vaccination Drive for everyone above the age of 18, many indian states have announced that they cant begin the vaccination as they dont have enough stock of the vaccines, this is happening at a time when india has reported over 400,000 cases of Covid I9 in 24 hours. Aamir peerzada reports from srinagar. . For the second wave coronavirus, kashmir has seen a massive spike in new cases during which most of the Vaccination Centres have seen a. Most of those who have turned up are sent back. This is happening only day when the Prime Minister was right Government Kick starts a Vaccination Drive for everyone above the age of 18 and that india continues to recover, over 3000 cases a single day. The hospitals can. And while india is the largest manufacturer, seems like there is not enough available. Many state say they cannot begin the Vaccination Drive because manufacturers cannot keep up with the demand and that has led to a widespread disappointment. I have been waiting widespread disappointment. I have been waiting since widespread disappointment. I have been waiting since 845. Widespread disappointment. I have been waiting since 845. The widespread disappointment. I have been waiting since 845. The Centre J been waiting since 845. The centre will be been waiting since 845. The centre will be open at night. Now it is ten, will be open at night. Now it is ten, but will be open at night. Now it is ten, but they are not open and they say vaccine ten, but they are not open and they say vaccine is not available. My aunt say vaccine is not available. My aunt is say vaccine is not available. My aunt is here, she is a diabetic Patient Aunt is here, she is a diabetic patient. She has an euro problem. That is patient. She has an euro problem. That is why patient. She has an euro problem. That is why i patient. She has an euro problem. That is why i am very worried about them for what we are still waiting. So far india has fully vaccinated less than 2 of its population and experts say at the current it may take india years to vaccinate its entire population. But can indias estimated 800 Million citizens and the world afford to wait for so long . Good afternoon. Residents of Care Homes in england will be able to go out for walks and visit relatives gardens without having to self isolate afterwards following new rules which come into force on tuesday. The government was facing legal action over the issue after the Charityjohn S campaign, which pushes for better visiting rights, argued that Care Home residents were being discriminated against. Our health correspondent Jim Reed reports. John Kemps Mother sheila has lived in a Care Home in eastbourne for the last two years. The 92 year old has seen her family recently, but sitting two metres apart, wearing ppe. From tuesday, they can walk together on the seafront again. With mother it makes it she can actually go out, get into the fresh air, be able to go on the seafront, see people, have a cup of coffee, a Cup Of Tea somewhere. 0bviously spending quality time rather than time with ppe in between us, and again just spending time together and reflecting on the past and the future as well. Its exactly three months since all Care Home residents should have been offered a first dose of the Covid Vaccine in england. With infections now down to levels seen last summer, the government says its time to relax the strict rules around trips outside the home. The majority of Care Home residents not only have had their first dose, but also their second dose, so we can take these sort of cautious steps forward, and, as i say, another step back towards normal. We look forward to being able to do more opening up in the weeks ahead. From tuesday, residents who leave a Care Home in england for low Risk Visits will not have to self isolate for 14 days on their return. They can visit a relatives garden, a park, or another outdoor space, and they can go indoors to vote. They will need to be accompanied by a Visitor Or Care worker and those who leave for medical appointments will still have to self isolate. The change comes after a legal challenge from campaigners who called the existing restrictions barbaric. They welcomed the move but said its come far too late. I think this guidance was always so bizarre, so cruel and so discriminatory. I mean, it was illegally imprisoning people in Care Homes. It was depriving them of their liberty, it was doing incalculable harms. Residents of scottish and welsh Care Homes are already able to meet outside without needing to self isolate. While in northern ireland, Outdoor Visiting is allowed in homes that do not have a covid outbreak. Jim reed, Bbc News. People from a South Asian background experienced greater levels of covid infection, severe Disease And Death during the second wave of the pandemic compared to other ethnic groups, according to a new study in the lancet. Nearly all ethnic minority groups in england were disproportionally affected in the first wave. But the disparity widened among South Asian groups in the second, with Health Factors and Household Size being highlighted by scientists as possible explanations. Lets Take A Look at the latest government figures. There were 1,907 new Coronavirus Infections recorded in the latest 24 Hour Period. On average, 2,194 new cases were reported per day in the last week. The latest figures show there were 1,451 people in hospital being treated for coronavirus on thursday. Seven deaths were reported in the latest 24 Hour Period thats people who died within 28 days of a positive covid 19 test. On average in the past week, 15 deaths were announced every day. The total number is now 127,524. As for vaccinations, a total ofjust over 34. 3 million people have now had their first dose of a Covid Vaccine. And over 14. 9 million people have had both doses and are now fully vaccinated. The Covid Situation in india continues to worsen as more than 400,000 infections have been reported in a single day. The countrys hospitals are still struggling with shortages of oxygen and beds and the Vaccination Programme is being hampered by a lack of supplies. Australia has now banned its own citizens from returning from india. Devina gupta reports. 400,000 and counting. Surging covid cases now making inroads in indias hinterland. These villagers in the Eastern Indian State of 0disha are living in fear. People here are so poor that they cant afford a proper mask, let alone expensive treatment. Now three people have tested positive. Translation there are no facilities for oxygen in our village. We have to go to the city, but how can we when there is a shortage, even in City Hospitals . And his concern echoed in this private hospital in delhi where 12 people lost their lives when the Oxygen Stock ran out. Translation we begged them to arrange oxygen i from anywhere that they could. During that time, there was a gap of about 45 minutes, when the stock ran out. Despite this, we failed. This is a warning that india is running out of time to save lives, as the virus continues to challenge the inadequate Health Infrastructure here. Experts believe the country needs a national lockdown to prepare better and break the cycle but so far indias Prime Minister has opposed this idea, emphasising on vaccinating more people. In fact, in an ambitious plan, he has expanded the Vaccination Drive to all adults above 18 years. And with an estimated 600 Million more people asking forjabs, most Vaccine Centres have run out of stocks. Translation we were told that it | would be a first come first served | thing here but the Vaccination Centre is deserted. We will see what we are going to do, whether we will get it or not. The government here continues to deny there is a vaccine shortage. For now, those living here are betting against odds for a vaccine to get a Fighting Chance against this pandemic. Devina gupta, Bbc News, delhi. Police have confirmed they have received a third Party Report relating to allegations of sexual offences by a man, following recent claims against actor noel clarke.
