Covid cancellation insurance. And, quack ing the puzzle of how to safely remove this family of ducks from a 9th floor balcony. 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 m days on their return. They can visit a relative� s 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. The cases of covid are. It is. Ask any of the Care Homes you have been opening up. The difference in my mother is remarkable. And it has been commented on. The light is back on in her eyes, she needs herfamily around her. She needs touch more than anything. She moans with delight when i hugged her and touch her. And i go and feed her and read to 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 theyre not getting. They have not got a lie. My mother is in her room most of the time now. They cannot cope trying to get people in out for visits and it is a half hour visit. My sister gets once every two or three weeks. 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.

Well, we are still digesting i the guidance because the devil is in the guidance because the devil is in the detail but i will have to ask for a little bit more patience from people because it comes into force quite quickly and may therefore than we have got to Put On about things in place because we are going to be inundated with requests and we have got to supply staff and if we have got to supply staff and if we have got to supply staff and if we have got to do designated visits we have to do get the residents ready so there is a bit of work to do but we are very pleased that we can open up and those who have been denied the visits outdoors for so long can now get them so we are pleased on that front because it is a victory for Common Sense and a victory for the campaign.

I wish the government had given us a little bit longer and told us last week that this was happening on May The 4th of other than Leave It on friday to tell us because we could put plans into place but the Care Staff are fantastic and they will get everything ready and they will make sure residents can enjoy the outdoors if weather is good. fin sure residents can enjoy the outdoors if weather is good.

I dont think it should be compulsory and i hope that government will do more to persuade people but figures are going up because that makes a big difference and i have had my vaccine and i encourage everyone to have the vaccine because it is the right thing to do but i think it has to be through choice.

The government puts us in a very difficult they do that . The government puts us in a very difficult position they do that . The government puts us in a very difficult position because in a very difficult position because what they give as is this guidance but then if you go against the guidance were betide you and they say it is up to the home to make Risk Assessments on each client. I cannot speak for the other homes but i canjust cannot speak for the other homes but i can just say what were doing in our home. We have started visits outside on a minibus because we got there with the right thing to do. We started visiting earlier than the government said, again, because we thought that was the right thing to do but, you know, i dont think our homes are making it up as they go along. I think they are doing the best. They are damned if they do and damned if they dont. The vast majority are complying and making sure people get their social contact because as your previous interviewee said that is so important. It is their home and they should not be denied the rights of everybody else as britain gradually unlocks. They should be entitled to the same freedoms.

I am speaking to you from north yorkshire. Weather does not look so good for monday. We have had calls. Weather is good we will arrange those as early as possible and the staff have been fantastically welcoming and residents as well. Quite excited to get outside those four walls as quickly as possible because we need to make the most of enjoying the same quality of life as others can when they see Britain Unlocking and thatis when they see Britain Unlocking and that is critical for their Well Being which is important to them and that makes a big difference so it is a balance of risk but i think it is a risk not being allowed out i just think it is a risk not being allowed out Ijust Hope the government allows more freedom to be endorsing because we have got the testing. The people have been vaccinated the viscous quite low. Community transmission is low. So lets have some visits indoors. We will find out what the detailers on tuesday. Thank you very much. And well find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 30 and 11 30 this evening in the papers our guestsjoining me tonight are the political commentator, Jo Phillips and the political editor of the Sunday Mirror sunday people, nigel nelson. Dojoin us then if you can. 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 1,161 people in hospital being treated for coronavirus on thursday. 7 deaths were reported in the latest 2a 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. 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 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. But as cases climb, most nations are closing their borders for india. Australia has even asked its citizens who have stayed in the country for over 14 days not to return. A move that will reportedly impact 9000 australians here. 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. Ravi singh is the founder of the humanitarian aid charity, khalsa aid. Thank you forjoining us here. I understand that obviously you have been involved in getting aid, the required aid to those in need in india. And there is some aid on its way as we speak . India.

They have kindly offered to transport 200 Oxygen Concentrators which were donated generously by The Public to india. Within a few days we had about 300 and Something Oxygen concentrators and 200 are being taken, as we speak now, the plane will be taking off to India And Landing Tomorrow Morning so we are really truly blessed by the people who so kindly donated to these. We can see the reaction to this on twitter. There has been tweet sent reading proud of Virgin Atlantic sending Oxygen Supplies to india and pilots who have been working hard. The Oxygen Machines, for example, this is highly specialised equipment. Where are you getting it from . ,. , equipment. Where are you getting it from . ,. ~ from . That is a great thing.

When we made the appeal on monday, we from . That is a great thing. When we | made the appeal on monday, we were desperate. And i thought therefore we look in china or elsewhere when supplies are shot why not make an appeal on our own country. I expected 50 or 100 because they range from £200 to £1000 expected 50 or 100 because they range from £200 to e1000 and within the first two days we had over 100 delivered and in the last four or five days we had i think about 300 and maybe 20 now delivered. It is The Public. It is the general public. Wejust The Public. It is the general public. We just asked for machines. No one had even heard of these machines, i had never heard of them. They went online, click on The Machine and got it delivered to our Head Office in slough and we packed it within a few days and now they are on a plane. It is amazing generosity of the british public. The hope is that the Oxygen Machines go to those most in need. How exactly is that being decided because a lot of the stories we are hearing are concentrated in those large cities for example. What about the villagers because in the initial pandemic, the first stage of the pandemic, the first stage of the pandemic a lot of people returned to their villages to escape what was going on in towns. Their villages to escape what was going on in towns. Yes, half of them will no to going on in towns. Yes, half of them will go to delhi. Going on in towns. Yes, half of them will go to delhi, which going on in towns. Yes, half of them will go to delhi, which is going on in towns. Yes, half of them will go to delhi, which is still will go to delhi, which is still fighting a huge Battle Against Coronavirus and the other hundred will go to rural areas in the neighbouring state which is where we are from and has been hit quite hard. A lot of the people from delhi are going into those states for treatment so, on top of that, we are also working with our Community Teams in other areas and that is where it has been really hurt in the rural area so also trying to work with many ngos, hospitals, charitable hospitals and clinics in the state of punjab to say, are you ready . Are you prepared . What you need for us . These talks have been going on in the last couple of days and there will asking for oxygen and and there will asking for oxygen and a few other things like ventilators so we are very fortunate that the ventilators will be coming from abroad and the concentrators will be going to rural areas and we are also working with a local State Government to say, look, how can we help you to help the people because, at the end of the day, we need to work together. So yes, you are right, Ruralareas Work together. So yes, you are right, rural areas have no Health Infrastructure and whether there is Health Infrastructure it is being overwhelmed. We are receiving reports of the time. Other reports coming injust before i came on the interview now, messages coming in asking for oxygen for 200 people, asking for oxygen for 200 people, asking oxygen for their fathers, their mums. It is a very desperate situation. Im sure these machines are going to save Lives. You situation. Im sure these machines are going to save Lives. Are going to save Lives.

We are supporting international students with Food Parcels in russia and ukraine, cyprus, australia. And on top of that we have been supporting the refugees from the beginning of last yearin refugees from the beginning of last year in Northern Iraq who face difficulties already and then coronavirus came and then lockdown for refugees so the virus is international. 0ur Response is international. 0ur Response is international so we are notjust based in something we focused on last year in small pockets but now a major concentration. But as ngo we are working around the globe and this pandemic is unpredictable so it is not like we can plan one country and walk away. We are still prepared to even in the east africa, a of the Day Labourers are facing Hunger Crisis again because they cannot get to work etc. So were getting requests to help for large food deliveries, food packs. So our work continues. It is notjust focused on india. India hasjust now been hit. It is a huge hit. Nobody expected it so we are now focused on thatjust to get the Oxygen Supplies, infrastructure, supporting the existing infrastructure to say, look, preparing the area is not being hit and look, preparing the area is not being hitand in look, preparing the area is not being hit and in the areas that have been hit these Oxygen Machines and concentrators are well reported. We make sure the needs it, we visit their homes, we track everything and then someone will follow their progress so they notjust thrown at someone. There is a whole programme behind each machine and there is a criteria and then it moves on very quickly and sometimes, The Machines are given get back within a few hours, give it to someone else, my brother has passed away. So it is a tragic story. It is very, very fluid and unpredictable and our response remains very fluid, Too. Remains very fluid, Too. Thank you so much for remains very fluid, Too.

New research suggests a quarter of festivals with a similar capacity have already been cancelled. Our Business Correspondent Katy austin reports. Boomtown In Hampshire has just been called off for the second year running, blaming lack of insurance for covid related cancellation. The sheer volume of money, were talking millions of outlay, that we have to commit to, all these costs ahead of the event, itjust became very evident that we were just in an impossible position without being able to have the backing of insurance to mitigate the risks. 0ne Trade Body says around a quarter of larger festivals have already decided to cancel for this year, and most of those still scheduled to go ahead are due to happen injuly and august. But it says for many of those theres still a huge amount of uncertainty. It says a government backed Insurance Scheme is needed, similar to what other countries have done. And our own government has invested in a scheme for Film And Tv production, which we understand has been very successful. There are models, there are ways of doing it. Nozstock in herefordshire is sold out for late july. How certain are you, as we stand here today, that it will go ahead . Sadly, we cant be certain.

When you discover a duck and her newborn ducklings have set up home on your balcony on the ninth floor of a block of flats waddle you do . Well, steve stuttard, who Lives in salford quays, realised he had to quack the problem of how to get the ducklings safely down to the ground without ruffling their mothers feathers. But he didnt get into a flap he found a solution to fit the bill and became a social media sensation, as Ian Haslam reports. This is mrs mallard, who has unwittingly become the most famous star on social media. Her time spent nesting on steve suttart� S Balcony has been seen by millions thanks to an accompanying Twitter Thread and video from Steves Daughter emma. Ijust read a few tweets, wrote the thread, went up and made a Cup Of Tea and came back and the ticker was going. And i was like, ok, then it went crazy. The lovely thing about this is that there are people all over the world who know how great he is now and adore him Too. Operation mallard to begin. What are the odds of this Duck Nesting on your balcony, what with you being a Twitcher And Everything . A million to one. I cant believe what has happened over the last 18 months now. It is unbelievable. For an ornithologist like me, a twitcher, a it is the perfect scenario. As a former Royal Navy survival specialist, steve is adept at looking after people. But ducks are a different proposition. From when i wake up in the morning, i have to tiptoe around the apartment. I check if shes on the nest or not, and normally she is. Shes full of character and she looks at me sometimes as if to say, i recognise that face, but i Cant Place it. Six oclock in the morning. All seven hatched. Great. Catch you later. At this point came to one party couldnt film. A bit with the mostjeopardy. Lowering seven ducklings 150 feet down to the ground from his apartment in a bucket. Here we are, down at ground level. Chicks in a bucket. Mum is over here. I couldnt bring them down the lift, they couldnt hear the mother and she couldnt hear them. But in a bucket it is like a megaphone, Itjust Amplifies the sound. They could hear her and she could hear them, so it was a win win situation. My work here is done. Except it isnt. Now weve got 0peration Mallard two we do indeed. She came back four weeks ago and started looking around my balcony, she moved to another planter which has low grasses in it and she has decided shes going to nest there. We now have 11 eggs and everything is fine and we have got about another week to go. Success, operation mallard, absolute success. Heres to the next one. Ian haslam, bbc news. Now its time for a look at the weather with louise lear. Good afternoon. The best of the sunshine for saturday was certainly first thing
