Ahead of a G7 Meeting in london, us Secretary Of State, Antony Blinken, accuses china of acting more aggressively abroad and more repressively at home the head of the worlds largest vaccine manufacturer, the Serum Institute of india, blames Narendra Modis Government for the shortage of Covid Jabs it comes as india reports more than 300,000 new Coronavirus Cases for a twelfth straight day. The queen sends a message to the people of Northern Ireland. Hello, and welcome if youre watching in the uk or Around The World. Police in Manchester Have condemned the protests that led to the postponement of Manchester Uniteds Premier League Match against liverpool, calling them completely unacceptable. Two officers were injured when fans stormed the pitch. The mayor of Greater Manchester, andy burnham, has also condemned the violence. Our Sports Correspondent Joe Wilson reports. The concourse outside Old Trafford where protesters were expected to congregate. To voice their continued opposition to the ownership of Manchester United by the glazer family. Some protesters soon decided to go further, and ultimately, onto the pitch itself. This was the scene at one of the most Famous Football Grounds in the world, that revered Manchester United pitch, the place of stirring feats of football, occupied. As clashes continued, police reported two injuries to officers, one slashed in the face by a broken bottle. Meanwhile, some of those who stayed peacefully outside, were leaving. As were speaking outside the ground, there are lots of fans actually on the pitch. I mean, what. Was there . Yeah, yeah. What do you think about that . Its, its. It� s a frustrating thing because obviously, as fans, we want the best for our club. Its been, from when we were young, watched it, its been magical, you know, history that weve had. And people like, get so annoyed with it. Well, they stayed. There was a Match Due to be played here, a match with direct implications for the outcome of the Premier League, supposed to happen here. The direct response from the Premier League was a statement. Fans have many channels by which to make their views known, but the actions of a minority seen today have no justification, it read. And im all for protesting, but not like that. You Cant Protest like that. Weve seen events at other football clubs, because theyre not happy. But when you get fans breaking into stadiums, when you get fans, eh, hurting Police Officers, when you get fans smashing glass to get into the hospitality, then thats not the way to do it. Thats not acceptable. Well, for 16 years, supporters have opposed the glazers. For 16 years, theyve believed the family is taking money out of their club. Fan power has been reignited by recent opposition to the european super league. This anger runs deeper. Does it take something extreme for the glazers just to notice . United the Pitch Invaders widely condemned, dont represent all Manchester United Supporters. Far from it. But the landscape of English Football has changed. And these are the images viewed across the Premier Leagues global marketplace. Joe wilson, Bbc News in manchester. Bbc radio Manchesters Reporter Liam Bradford has been speaking to fans. What we have seen over the last 2041 was this part fantastic, really powerful protest on the Manchester United Fans as they try to make their voices heard. They have been let down by a minority. Having spoken to a lot of Fans Yesterday while the process were happening and overnight as well as this morning, thatis overnight as well as this morning, that is the message that fans would like to get across which is the majority protested peacefully because they feel like they have limited options in terms of getting their voice heard. Gathering and protesting the ownership of Manchester United, they felt, was another most powerful ways of getting it done. Unfortunately, 200 fans make it through to the page, they caused the postponement of the game. There is violence against Police Officers causing two to be injured, one requiring Emergency Treatment to a wound on his face from a slash from a bottle. As soon as you cross the line from peaceful protest into violence, the focus moves away from the peaceful protest and the purpose of that protest and onto the fact that the process themselves took a turn for the worst. We have seen statements from all of the major bodies, both of the clubs, the Premier League and Greater Manchester police. Greater manchester police have called the behaviour reckless and dangerous, but as the united say their fans are passionate that they regret the actions that put other People In danger. The Premier League say the actions of a minority seen today have no justification, actions of a minority seen today have nojustification, the violence has been condemned by the Greater Manchester mayor andy burnham. I think the problem now comes they have to unpick the Security Problem that they clearly had which forced the game to be postponed. How was that allowed to happen . Manchester united will be conducting an investigation. Then, the Governing Bodies have tried to figure out how they are going to do. Manchester united and Liverpools Game didnt get under Way Yesterday which means they failed to fulfil a fixture which means Manchester United could at least be looking at a heavy fine and that most could be looking at a points deduction. What we do from this point is a difficult one to say. Manchester united have got to find a way to get this fixture on amid what is a increasingly congested fixture list. They have a game on Thursday Night in the Europa League against roma away. They have got affect the travel time into that. Liverpool have got their Premier League games. Finding a free midweek to play this game is going to be tricky. Andy mitten is editor of the fanzine, united we stand. Thanks very much forjoining us. What is your reaction to what happened . I think it was a largely peaceful protest Ta Ken by fans i think it was a largely peaceful protest taken by fans who were extremely passionate. Use of the strength of the file and it has been a long time coming. The roots of the protest within 2005 when the Glazer Takeover happened at Manchester United. It is very controversial at the time. That is highly leveraged takeover. The trust between the fans and the owners has never been, theres been no communication. When joel glazer, who is the main owner, he apologised to fans because he has signed up to a super league which was very unpopular with Manchester United Fans. He talked about rebuilding the trust with fans. In the eyes of many fans, there was no trust there. The vast majority of fans were protesting peacefully. Some of them didnt, i am never going to approve of that but that should not invalidate which was a legitimate protest. Should not invalidate which was a legitimate protest. What about the fallout from those legitimate protest. What about the fallout from those fans legitimate protest. What about the fallout from those fans storming i legitimate protest. What about the L Fallout from those fans storming the pitch to Police Officers injured . That Game Hasnt been played, it needs to be played, they could be points against the club. The .

They game definitely needs to be points against the club. They game definitely needs to be played points against the club. They game definitely needs to be played and l points against the club. They game | definitely needs to be played and as the Club Statement have said, i dont think anybody can accept people being injured or vandalism. The vast majority of fans who turned up, there are an awful lot of fun that turned up, protested peacefully. They made their strength of feeling made. They feel like they have tried options which are less direct, they feel they dont have a voice, the decisions made on their behalf on their not consulted. When the super League Announcement was made that really opened a can of worms, notjust among united fans, but fans of all associated clubs. It showed how much reform is needed in English Football. Boris johnson talked about bringing in new legislation. Bring it in because football needs to be improved in terms of its governance, it needs to be independent and the fans need to be independent and the fans need to be at the heart of future decisions. The lifeblood of football, they are sick of being patronised, they are sick of being patronised, they are sick of being patronised, they are sick of condescending reMarks About them, about football be nothing without fans. If that is the case, fans deserve a more central and important voice rather than decisions being made on the other side of the world which affect them directly.

The foreign secretary Dominic Raab will meet the us secretary of State Anthony Blinken whos on his first visit to London Sincejoe Biden became president. The pair will discuss Transatlantic Relations,as well as threats from russia, china and iran. The discussions take place before britain hosts Foreign Ministers from the G7 Group of industrialised nations. As our diplomatic Editorjames Landale explains, the G7 Meeting will be the first Face To face talks for two years. They are significant because it is the first time theyve been able to sit down and just talk about uk us relations. They have met at another Meeting Sincejoe bidens meeting since Joe Bidens Administration Meeting Sincejoe Bidens Administration came into office. This is the first time they can sit down and go through some of the nitty gritty stuff about Transatlantic Relations. The issues of the day will into the china, russia, ukraine, aeron, the pandemic, Climate Change. Theres an awful lot to talk about. Inevitably, these things only get touched on for a bit. It will start to establish some of the tone of the meeting for the next two or three days. Essentially, the group of seven nations are getting together plus a lot of guests, is notjust the g7, south africa, india and others are coming they want to work out, how do we revive the international order . How can we make sure it can better deal with authoritarian aggressors . How can it deal with pandemics of the future . How can it agree what to do on Climate Change . Those are the broader themes you will see. Very big themes but there are also immediate pressing issues particularly on the pandemic and vaccines. Yes. What is interesting is the indian Foreign Minister is here so he will be able to give first hand accounts of what is going on in india. 0ne accounts of what is going on in india. One of the issues are going to be talking about is equitable access of vaccines in poorer countries, they will be talking about building up Health Resilience in the longer term so in future it can deal with pandemics like this one. Inevitably, on the margins, they will be talking about the immediate short Term Issue of india and what needs to happen in the next few days. And what needs to happen in the next few da s. G. , and what needs to happen in the next few da s. G. ,. ,. , lets talk more about this with drjulie norman, political analyst, University College london. The big thing is they are together Face To face for the first time in two years. That thing they used to be taken for granted means a lot now. That is exactly right. This is the first diplomatic meeting in person of this scope we have seen since the pandemic started. It is quite notable for that. It is also the first meeting of the g7 Foreign Minister during the biden administration. A reorientation around that as well. It is happening at a time when much of the world is still reeling from the coronavirus. We are seeing the devastating scenes from india and underscoring the need to come together to speak more about global Vaccine Roll Out and distribution as well as some of the other items on the agenda such as climate, Girls Education, family etc. ,. , climate, Girls Education, family etc. , , etc. India clearly the pressing issue, etc. India clearly the pressing issue.

And how to manage it. India is going to be at the summit. What you think potentially could be achieved . It is certainly crucial that india is one of the guests at the g7 at this meeting. Again, first to try and get further aid to india right now but also india is one of the largest Vaccine Producers in the world also. Looking even further ahead on how to get resources to india at this moment is that also had to rethink how those Vaccine Distributions are going to go out to other countries, moving forward through covax and other initiatives. It is important to underscore that india was invited to the semis prior to this current crisis mainly because of the uk and us as a crucial ally right now politically and economically, as both of their foreign policies towns more to asia.

They are expected to talk about climate, about family, which has been linked in many places to Climate Change. And also there were comments about trying to address Misinformation Campaigns from russia, having a United Front against misinformation. Thank you. The head of the worlds largest vaccine manufacturer, the Serum Institute of india, has blamed Narendra Modis Government for the shortage of Covid Jabs. Adar Poona Wala said the government didnt place any large orders Adar Poonawala said the government didnt place any large orders with his company until march, when the second wave of the pandemic had already hit the country. Meanwhile, india haS Reported more than 300,000 new Coronavirus Cases for a twelfth straight day. The number of deaths from Covid Rose Byjust over 31100. Heres Devina Gupta in delhi. The head of the institution who is producing 0xford Astrazeneca has said indian government reacted to relate to the wave to control the wave was to vaccinate more people. He said only 21 Million tonnes were produced by his company. What India Needsis produced by his company. What india needs is to inoculate 960 Million people. He has said that prediction can only happen at the expanse to other Countries Nec is the Vaccine Shortage in such a life is that india does have an indigenous vaccine data is being manufactured here called covax, that has been posted may be government hospitals. People dont have faith because the Efficacy Trial were not transparent in the beginning are not many people have that vaccine. We also have Russias Vaccine which has been sent to india, a fresh cargo doses, one is a 50,000 this weekend. A temporary ban on travel from India To Australia has begun, with anyone breaching the rule facing up to five Years Injail or large fines. It is the first time australia has banned its own citizens from coming home. 0ur Correspondent, shaima khalil, says the government has been forced to defend its new policy, amid strong criticism. It has sparked outrage, critics have called this move immoral. Some have described it as un australian, even racist. The Prime Minister has come out and denied these accusations of racism and said there is no politics or ideology. But when it comes to the pandemic this is about the virus. We also heard from the Foreign Minister who said 57 of all infections within quarantine have been from india which has put a lot of pressure on medicalfacilities. That also raises questions about why australian indians are being blocked and why not expand on quarantine facilities. That is a big debate here now in australia. We did hearfrom members of the Indian Australian community here who have said, look, these are people, they are in a dire situation and the Australian Government has a Responsibility And Duty of care to bring them out of india, out of Harms Way and to bring them back to australia safely. The number of covid cases in argentina since the beginning of the pandemic has passed three million. Earlier this week the government extended restrictions in the worst affected areas for at least another month. An overnight curfew, starting at eight in the evening, remains in place in Buenos Aires and other parts of the country. Brazils Senate Inquiry into the government s handling of the pandemic is to begin hearing from former ministers fired by President Bolsonaro for not following his line. One issue It S Looking at is slow for not following his line. 0nly14 of brazilians have received the first dose, with many areaS Reporting shortages. 0ur Correspondent Mark Lowen has followed vaccines being rolled out in one of the most Cut Off areas of the country, the islands of bailique in the amazon. As day breaks over the amazon, its a race to protect its people. We are on a journey to one of brazils most remote corners, the archipelago of bailique, following Healthcare Workers as they deliver covid vaccines to the isolated communities, overcoming every obstacle. Here, close to the equator, this woman says Temperature Gauges keeps the Astrazeneca Jabs Inside At Minus 8 degrees. 0nce opened, they must be used within 48 hours. If you thought rolling out vaccines in cities was tough, this is brazils logistical challenge. The government is way behind where it should be but reaching vulnerable communities is a priority. The archipelago of 13,000 people was already under threat by erosion before the pandemic struck. They are in a battle for survival. The medics lined with treasure for the islands, delivering it to each household. Translation i caught the virus a year ago and i saw death. I drunk Lemon And Ginger tea. We are far from the city and People Cant afford to go there by boat. Its a blessing from god that they come to our homes. With no hospitals here, this is literally a lifeline and even though vaccines are scarce across brazil the medics say these Areas Cant be neglected. Translation the Transmission Rate is very high here. Covid has torn through this country killing more than 400,000. But for those here who will take the shot, a shield has now arrived, brought along the mighty amazon, a source of life. France is starting to ease itself out of the lockdown. From today, travelling further than 10km from home is permitted again. And theres the prospect of shops, venues opening their doors later in the month. Hugh schofield is in paris and has more details on the easing of restrictions. Todays not going to make a vast difference to most people. The big Change Today is that schools, middle and senior schools, lycee and college, Go Back, so the children and teenagers will not be working from home any more. That is going to be a relief to a lot of families, im sure. Then there is this travelling from Home Rule which has been removed. We can now go more than ten kilometres away from home, without bringing a piece of paper. There is still a curfew, however, at 7pm. The shops, restaurants, they remain shut. It is later in this month, the next step of this four point programme, road map, if you like, that things will start visibly changing, i think, when cafe terraces, Restaurant Terraces will open in the middle of the month, the 19th, Nonessential Shops will open and then, afterthat, injune, we get a fuller Scale Opening of shops and restaurants, all subject, of course, to continuing rules on social distancing, six to a table and so on. But that is the point at which it really will feel that we are regaining some kind of normality and the curfew is gradually going to be shifted back from 7pm to 9pm, and then 11pm, and then finally at The End ofjune, it will be abolished completely. At that point, the hope is that we will be able to enjoy some fairly regular summer. The epic versus Apple Lawsuit begins today, finally giving the Fortnite Publisher Epic Games its day in court. Apple and Epic Games have been engaged in a legal battle since last year over a 30 Levy Apple collects on purchases made through its App Store. Fortnite was kicked off the App Store for bypassing that charge by installing its own payment system. From san francisco, James Clayton has more. In august last year, Epic Games did something totally against apples App Store rules. It decided that its hit game, fortnite, should have a new Payment Option to try and get around apples 30 charge. Apple properly kicked fortnite off the App Store, but Epic Games was ready for them. It slapped apple with a lawsuit and had even prepared a high production video, a spoof of apples iconic 1984 advert for the apple mac. Apple haS Reportedly made hundreds of millions of dollars from the Fortnite Game alone just in charges. An epic� s argument is, if they dont want to pay than where else can they go . Apples App Store and googles Google Play are the dominant global App Stores outside of china. If you want to make games for smartphones, you pretty much have to play by apple and googles rules. Epic calls that a duopoly and if there was more competition those fees might be lower. Their argument is a pretty simple anti trust one, not one company should have so much Market Dominance in one sector. They are not the only ones that think this. A string of high profile politicians from democrats and republicans in the us have criticised apple for monopolistic behaviour. The eu recently announced anti trust charges against apple for its behaviour on the App Store. Apples argument is pretty simple, it invented the App Store so it should get to charge what it likes. It also says that a majority of apps dont pay anything at all to apple. Its reasoning for charging 30 on some developers, it says it needs to vet and Check Apps that come onto the App Store to protect the apple ecosystem. Apple is taking this Court Case incredibly seriously, even though it is only one company that is suing them, if they were to lose it will threaten a massive moneyspinner for the company. Apple has confirmed tim cook, its Chief Executive, will give evidence, the first time hes ever testified at trial. It is a clear sign that apple is worried, although they say they are confident of winning. The stakes though are incredibly high and apple knows it.

But when we speak to customers, you know, you can almost smell the longing for the sea on this earth as they talk about their holidays, and increasingly their holidays, and increasingly the sea and the surf. Increasingly people are going on holidays on the back of this lockdown to celebrate some of the anniversaries and events they have not been able to do as a group through lockdown so there is a real need and want to go on holiday that needs to be balanced.

That is very true and has been one of the most is very true and has been one of the most heartbreaking aspects of the last year. Most heartbreaking aspects of the last year, seeing people alone in their last year, seeing people alone in their grief, last year, seeing people alone in their grief, and i think it was perhaps their grief, and i think it was perhaps quite starkly illustrated by the picture of the queen at the duke of Edinburghs Funeral and i think that got of Edinburghs Funeral and i think that got a of Edinburghs Funeral and i think that got a conversation going about all of that got a conversation going about all of this that got a conversation going about all ofthis i that got a conversation going about all of this.

So so that those people who are isolated, who are alone, dont have anyone isolated, who are alone, dont have anyone else isolated, who are alone, dont have anyone else in their household, somebody can reach out and hold their somebody can reach out and hold their hand. Somebody can reach out and hold their hand, give them a hug when theyare their hand, give them a hug when they are grieving. Is their hand, give them a hug when they are grieving. They are grieving.

One thing we have all got to grips with obviously over the now. One thing we have all got to grips with obviously over the past j grips with obviously over the past year has been the proliferation of things being done online, and i guess one positive is that because of the fact that funerals have had to be held online it has meant that in certain circumstances where people potentially may not have been able to get to a funeral at other times may be able to join an online, and im just wondering whether that actually could be an aspect that continues to happen going forward . We certainly think so. Live streaming of funerals has actually been streaming of funerals has actually been around for quite a long time but very been around for quite a long time but very much on the fringes.

In a message to its people today, the queen said the anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on our togetherness and our diversity. And Borisjohnson Has said the Uk Government would continue to showcase all The Brilliant Things that Northern Ireland contributes to the rest of the uk. Chris page reports. These are the pictures Northern Ireland wants to be best known for a place of friendly cities and stunning seaside scenery. Bomb blast but it has a history which hurts. Its still recovering from a conflict which lasted for 30 years until the late 1990s. There was violence, too, at the time of Northern Irelands birth, sectarian murder across the island of ireland. Birth, sectarian murder the southern 26 counties went to war with britain to achieve independence, but a majority in the North Eastern six counties wanted to stay in the uk. And thats what happened. Today is one of a series of anniversaries. Its notjust the start of Northern Ireland as we know it. Its the start of the united kingdom as we know it. And the united kingdom is stronger and better because of all the constituent parts, and Northern Ireland plays a huge part in that. Unionists view this is the centenary of the state they strongly value. But for people who identify as irish, its the anniversary of the partition of ireland, a source of great injustice. The creation of a Brexit Trade Border with the rest of the uk has again sharpened political divisions. I think it is possible for us to deal with the past. Yeah. There would be little, some pain, but generously, ethically, i think it is possible for us to deal with the present, given even our present difficulties. I think they should be ironed out. They can be. Events to mark the centenary have been restricted so far due to the pandemic, but that doesnt make 2021 any less significant here. Chris page, Bbc News, belfast. In recent years, young People In scotland have been behind a surge in political engagement. At this years election, more than 100 Thousand 16 and 17 year olds will vote for the first time. At this years election, more than 100,000 16 and 17 year olds will vote for the first time. 0ur Scotland Correspondent Lorna Gordon has been finding out what issues are important to them. The race to win seats at holyrood is reaching the final stretch. In just a few days time the electorate will head to the polls. For some, itll be the first time they get to cast their vote. Im excited. First time voter. So i feel that we need to get it right. These young voters out rowing on the clyde told us what issues are Making Waves with them. Ive not totally decided yet. Ive sort of narrowed it down to the parties i think are the best, but, yeah, ifeel like health is really important. Sport as well. The economy probably is important, how to keep a sustainable economy, especially during a pandemic. And also the nhs as well. For me, things like Publici Health are very important. Education as well, as a University Student right now, is massively important. More than 100,00 16 and 17 year olds are voting for the first time in scotland. Beth is one of them and thinks the political parties have been working hard to secure the youth vote. I think they try. I think its very big right now, especially in scotland, because we get to vote so young, to really aim things at young people, which is nice. Its good to feel included. One of the priorities for young voters at this Climbing Centre across town is the route to politicians are offering through the difficult terrain left by the pandemic. For me, like, the main issues right now would be how things would get back on track after covid and after all thats done. And its notjust focusing on the economic side of it, which i feel gets a lot of press and a lot of focus, but also the social side, like peoples Mental Health. The 2014 Referendum On Scottish Independence was the first time 16 year olds were allowed to vote here in scotland. It dominated school, it dominated everything, and that was really my first kind of actual look into what politics, in scotland at least, was. That was the first time laurie voted and he warned that on this, the biggest issue in scottish politics, young voters do not necessarily have a unified Point Of View. I wouldnt say there i is a homogenised view of political views of young People In scotland. It does kind of change. Especially to do with L Independence as well, there are so many different views. And all those we spoke to felt strongly that the younger electorate should use their vote. Youre voting on your own future, arent you . So its more important. I think its more important for someone that 16 or 17 to vote than someone who is 80, so, like, yeah. Its affecting them in the future, isnt it, so. Are you going to be voting . Yes. Determined, like many others her age, to make sure her vote has an impact. Lorna gordon, Bbc News, glasgow. The headlines on Bbc News two Police Officers are injured, after Yesterdays Protest by hundreds of Manchester United Fans at Old Trafford. The scenes have been described as completely unacceptable. A Cross Party Group of mps urges the Uk Government to maintain restrictions on foreign holidays beyond the 17th of May Warning that new variants could lead to more deaths and further lockdowns. Lockdown restrictions ease further in Wales Today gyms and Swimming Pools are reopening, and two households can now meet indoors. Theres a new warning that more needs to be done to tackle the Sale And Promotion of a harmful drug aimed at women and young girls on instagram. It follows an investigation by the bbc which found the Stimulant Apetamin was still being promoted by users on the site. 0ur Health Correspondent Anna Collinson has more. Vanessa wants to be curvier so, two years ago, she started taking apetamin. Misusing the Appetite Stimulant can cause severe fatigue and even liver failure. But she carried on and even promoted it to her followers. It sounds like madness, is madness the extent you will go through but the pressures must be hitting hard for us to think its ok. It is illegal to sell apetamin in the uk, but, two weeks ago, a Bbc Three investigation revealed it could be bought in shops and online. With many profiles still promoting the drug, Nhs England has now written to instagram saying it is concerned about the physical and Mental Health impacts, and is urging this site to clamp down on accounts. As we invest more in youth Mental Health, which is, we believe, increasingly picking up some of the ill effects of poor and actively dangerous online content, perhaps it is time these Media Giants could step up and contribute more, as well, to the treatment of young peoples Mental Health. A Facebook Company Spokesperson says buying and selling non medical or Prescription Drugs is strictly against our policies and it will continue working to keep these types of sales of the site. I think Social Media Platforms should be doing more to remove this drug and protect us. Butjust removing online accounts wont solve the problem, with many people, including vanessa, Buying Apetamin in shops. The Drugs Manufacturers says it does not export to the uk, so the Medicines Regulator is currently investigating how it is sold here. Do you regret promoting apetamin to followers, particularly as it is dangerous and it is currently illegal to sell it in the uk . Yeah, i regret promoting apetamin on my channel, 100 . And to all the people that went to probably go and buy apetamin from viewing my video, its disheartening, because now i want to take it all back. I want to say, no, please dont.

The other man, joaquin garcia, managed to reach the woman and keep her afloat until the police arrived. Graham satchell reports. Bell tolls at one end of london bridge, a collection of flowers to remember folajimi 0lubunmi adewole, known to his friends asjimi. Just over a week ago, jimi was on his way home from work, when he tried to rescue a Woman Whod fallen into the thames. It was a remarkable act of bravery. Also on the bridge that night wasjoaquin garcia. He heardjimi shouting, and ran over to help. He started to point to the river saying, shes there, shes there. So i saw on the river, the girl. Well, i actually saw two hands and one face just splashing, trying to keep on float. He told me, are you going tojump . Are you jumping . And i said, yes. Jimi started to count like, ok, lets do it. Three, two. And i couldnt think on it, so ijustjumped. And thats the last time i sanimi. It was cold, dark, dangerous. Joaquin swam out towards the woman and eventually found her. She was not very conscious. I couldnt see her eyes at any moment. She was just blinking and splashing. And i started to swallow water. And i remember turning to the right, like, im looking for help. I dont know if i was looking forjimi, i was looking for anyone at that moment that i started to swallow water. Isaid, 0k, listen, listen to me, listen to me. Keep calm. Do the plank, lets do the plank, 0k . So i think she heard me, luckily, and she managed to do the plank. The coastguard and the police found the woman, and continued to search forjimi, but couldnt find him. His body was eventually discovered in the early hours of the morning. Joaquin was taken to hospital. Early the next day, he contacted his parents back home in spain. I think my father was the first time to call me back, and he told me. I didnt understand really well, but did you save Someones Life . And i said. Yes. And he started to say. Thank you, you are. Youre very good. Thank you for being like you are. And he told me to dont do it again. And when i called my mother, i think she was just reading it, because i called her and i couldnt hear nothing but crying. A park in South London and a vigil to honourjimis selfless act of heroism. Jimi has been nominated for a Bravery Award by the city of london police. But there is a campaign now for him to get the highest civilian award for courage, the george cross. I have been lucky, because we are more or less the same age. And i just want to say that i totally. Support the campaign that there is forjimi to take a medalfor his honour and his braveness. Crowd cheers as some people already have done on the viewpoint. Theres a lot of flowers and candles. Saying hero. So i think he deserves that. I think it would be really, really good for the family as well. Joaquin is still coming to terms with what happened at london bridge, but is determined thatjimi should be honoured. Graham satchell, Bbc News. The american Singer And Songwriter Billie Eilish has made a stir by appearing in the Fashion Magazine Vogue wearing a corset. The singer has previously made a point of wearing loose fitting clothes to prevent commentary about her body. She is the latest star to call showing your body and your skin as she puts it empowering. Mark lobel� S Report contains Flash Photography from the start. Until now, dressed to prevent body shaming. The baggily clothed girl now a blonde bombshell. Its a brave move from the award winning, home schooled singer songwriter, Billie Eilish. Body positivity resting squarely on this empowered 19 year olds shoulders, telling british vogue thats coming from someone well aware of the haters on social media. I stopped reading comments, fully. Because . Because it was ruining my life. Its weird, like, the cooler the things you get to do are, the more people hate you its crazy. Theres been a Gear Change in her music too. Will you only feel bad when they find out if you can take it all back . Her new song is a warning to abusers not to exploit underage girls a vulnerability she said she and her peers know all too well. Her New Look is part of a message about change, from someone who launched her career at 13. But some fans fear people will now question her looks and accuse her of having sold out. Were in an age of reaction, but i think its important to take a step back and think about the intention. She planned the idea of the shoot, she is expressing herself, and to discuss exploitation would be taking away her autonomy. Tens of millions of her 83 Million instagram followers have liked the New Look, complete with Custom Gucci Corset and skirt, Agent Provocateur Bra and latex gloves. No doubt she was inspired by classic pin ups like betty brosmer, and, arguably, marilyn monroe. Billie eilish says shes not a hypocrite in showing her skin, but empowered, adding that confidence is her only gospel. Mark lobel, Bbc News. Youre watching Bbc News. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol. Hello again. Many of us started off on a dry, bright or sunny note, however thats not going to last. Wet and windy weather is on the way, if you dont already have it. As we go through the next couple of days its sunshine and blustery showers, and the temperature remains low for this stage in may. Heres the low pressure bringing us our weather today. You can see with the Weather Fronts you will see some periods of prolonged rain, Heavy Rain and gusty winds. So after that bright start in the east, the rain will march in, clearing Northern Ireland to sunshine and showers. The rain doesnt actually get into the far North East of scotland. What were looking at here is a fair bit of sunshine and some showers to give you the wintry top of the mountains, and its later in the day we see the rain get into East Anglia and the far South East of england. These black circles represent the strength of the wind gusts, so wherever you are you will notice it today but particularly along the coasts of wales and southern england. Temperatures, six in the north to 13 in the south. It should be roughly 14 in the north to 17 in the south. But one thing is the Pollen Levels are low or moderate across the board, and were still talking about tree pollen. As we head on through the evening and overnight period, you find the rain continues to push off into the north sea. There will be a plethora of showers left behind it. Some of those wintry, in the highlands, for example, down to about 300 metres. And still gusty winds, especially through the english channel. But the temperatures are not worthy because everywhere is above freezing. You might see the Odd Pocket of frost in the highlands, for example, but most of us will be frost free. But the temperatures are noteworthy because everywhere is above freezing. You might see the Odd Pocket of frost in the highlands, for example, but most of us will be frost free. Tomorrow, still windy down this East Coast as the low pressure pulls away, the wind moderating through the course of the day, then we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. But sunshine will be limited tomorrow more cloud around than sunshine, and some of the showers will be heavy with hail and thunder. Temperatures, 6 13 degrees. Moving into wednesday, this low pressure pulls away completely and that opens the doors to more of the northerly wind during the course of wednesday, but it will be a sunnier day. But there will still be some showers around. Temperatures nothing to write home about. Between about eight and 10 degrees. The ensuring couple of days, thursday and friday, we still have that combination of sunshine and showers. This is Bbc News. The headlines at 11.

The All Party Parliamentary Group on coronavirus says importing new variants will result in more deaths and could lead to further lockdowns. The mps want ministers to discourage all international leisure travel. The government says robust Border Controls are in place to prevent the spread of covid. Thomas cook Chief Executive Alan French this morning told us that he expects most popular destinations, particularly in europe, to be open to Uk Holiday makers. From our Point Of View we want to take people on holiday, but we want to take them safe and we want them to be confident they can have a great time when they are in destination and they can get back into the uk safely. I mean, that is our primary concern. So if there are issues in destination, we would expect that to be taken into account through the corridor process. But when we talk to customers, you know, you can almost smell the longing for the sea and the syrf as they talk about their holidays, and increasingly, people are going on holidays on the back of this lockdown to celebrate some of the anniversaries and events they have not been able to do as a group through lockdown so there is areal need and want to go on holiday that needs to be balanced. But safety does need to be taken into account. Lets get more from our political correspondent Jonathan Blake whos here. It will affect up everyones years. Is it likely, possible, we will be told we should not be travel for leisure . Ihla told we should not be travel for leisure . , ,. ,. ,. Leisure . No is the short answer. We exect an leisure . No is the short answer. We expect an Announcement Leisure . No is the short answer. We expect an announcement later leisure . No is the short answer. We expect an announcement later this | expect an announcement later this week from the government which will confirm whether International Travel can resume as it is hoped on the 17th Of May. We will also get details which countries will be in the red, amber or Green List under the red, amber or Green List under the Government Traffic Light system which will determine whether people need to quarantine, on an enforced basis or at home when they return from certain countries, or whether they will only need to have proof of a negative Covid Test when travelling in either direction. But there are warnings to the government less morning and mps on the Cross Party All Party Parliamentary Group on coronavirus urging caution. They say the government should not be encouraging people to go on holiday at this point until there are improvements on the systems in place. Their relate to Airport Arrival holes, which they say have evidence could become Breeding Grounds for coronavirus with passengers from lots of destinations mixing on their return. Also potential fake Covid Test certificates which passengers could use to show that they are proving, having tested negative, falsely, for coronavirus. There is also the issue of the test and isolate system which people are asked to adhere to on their return not being followed closely enough. The chair of the committee is seeing the large the government to take extreme caution in this area. I have to say, the Direction Of Travel is the government does i think hope to allow people to travel abroad as soon as it safely possible to do so. James cleverly saying this morning we want to move forward as quickly as possible at a pace that is safe. The European Commission has put out new guidance. What have they said . Interesting to see from brussels say they plan to allow entry into the eu for nonessential travel for all persons coming from countries with a good epidemiological situation but also, people who have received the last recommended dose of an eu authorised vaccine. Thats about travelling to Eu Countries but of course, lots of Eu Countries are major Holiday Destinations for uk travellers. That could have a bearing on what the government announced later this week. Thank ou. Katie nicholls, is Chief Executive of Uk Hospitality.

So its important we get our vital uk domestic pubs, bars, restaurants hotels and fully open and functioning before we look to open up International Travel and move people abroad.

We know we have sufficient capacity in the uk, it does come back to the zist in the uk, it does come back to the 21st Ofjune date. Until that point, our Businesses, hotels, holiday parks, restaurants and pubs, they are all operating with capacity constraints and occupancy restrictions. If we lift those restrictions, we will be able to open more rightly to uk customers, and we will be able to give people a great british holiday if they choose to stay in the uk. And they want to have a Covid Secure Holiday in the uk, we will be able to accommodate that, if we lift those restrictions, we will have more spare capacity and certainly there is plenty of capacity for people who want to do City Breaks and go to major towns and cities, like london, there has never been a better time to come to london where the city is so quiet you can get around and see lots of sites without lots of tourists in the way. But crucially, we need to make sure the government now acts on the optimism that the Roll Out of the optimism that the Roll Out of the vaccine in the low level of Disease Prevalence in the uk is giving us, confirms as soon as possible as we open, the Reopening Date on the 17th Of May and the lifting of the sections on the 21st Ofjune, thats the way to give Businesses-confidence'>Businesses Confidence is to invest, reopen and grow, Consumers Confidence to book and crucially our Workers Confidence to return to theirjobs, giving them safety, Security And Stability as we move out of this disease. fin Security And Stability as we move out of this disease.

Unfortunately, we were not able to follow everyone in the Hospitality Sector because of the way the four rules are arranged in various waves as we went into lockdown. There were Cut Off dates so not everyone can be furloughed. We cant give this People Certainty to come back to theirjobs until the government confirms our Reopening Dates and thats whites really important the government confirms the 17th Of May, the 21st Ofjune, then we can Go Back to people with a realistic and romantic outcome of the outline of the errors they are allowed to work, certainty the job, its lack of confidence that is driving fewer people returning back to hospitality and causing that Labour Shortage than the other reasons we have talked about. Thank ou. Police in Manchester Have condemned the protests that led to the postponement of Manchester Uniteds Premier League Match against liverpool, calling them completely unacceptable. Two officers were injured when fans stormed the pitch. The mayor of Greater Manchester, andy burnham, has also condemned the violence. Our Sports Correspondent Joe Wilson reports. The concourse outside Old Trafford where protesters were expected to congregate. To voice their continued opposition to the ownership of Manchester United by the glazer family. Some protesters soon decided to go further, and ultimately, onto the pitch itself. This was the scene at one of the most Famous Football Grounds in the world, that revered Manchester United pitch, the place of stirring feats of football, occupied. As clashes continued, police reported two injuries to officers, one slashed in the face by a broken bottle. Meanwhile, some of those who stayed peacefully outside, were leaving. As were speaking outside the ground, there are lots of fans actually on the pitch. Imean, what. Was there . They got through . What do you think about that . Its, its. It� s a frustrating thing because obviously, as fans, we want the best for our club. Its been, from when we were young, watched it, its been magical, you know, history that weve had. And people like, get so annoyed with it. Well, they stayed. There was a Match Due to be played here, a match with direct implications for the outcome of the Premier League, supposed to happen here. The direct response from the Premier League was a statement. Im all for protesting, but not like that. You Cant Protest like that. Weve seen events at other football clubs, because theyre not happy. But when you get fans breaking into stadiums, when you get fans hurting Police Officers, smashing glass to get into the hospitality, then thats not the way to do it. Thats not acceptable. Well, for 16 years, supporters have opposed the glazers. For 16 years, theyve believed the family is taking money out of their club. Fan power has been reignited by recent opposition to the european super league. This anger runs deeper. Does it take something extreme for the glazers just to notice . Chanting united the Pitch Invaders widely condemned, dont represent all Manchester United Supporters. Far from it. But the landscape of English Football has changed. And these are the images viewed across the Premier Leagues global marketplace. Joe wilson, Bbc News in manchester. We have just heard Suejeffrey Donaldson has announced he is standing for the leadership of the dup. He has sent a letter to mps at stormont confirming himself. He says, it grieves me to see divisions, especially played out on the public stage. We deliver best when pulling together, not apart. Things need to change.

Britains foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, will meet the us secretary of State Anthony Blinken, on his first visit to London Sincejoe Biden became president. The pair will discuss Transatlantic Relations, as well as threats from russia, china and iran. The discussions take place before britain hosts Foreign Ministers from the G7 Group of industrialised nations. The Foreign Ministerjames cleverly said the meeting, the first in two years, was important to be able to move forward with several long standing issues. We have been carrying on with diplomacy through the pandemic, but theres nothing quite as effective as Face To Face Diplomacy and thats why having a Code Compliant Face To face G7 Meeting is so important. We will be discussing a number of long standing issues including health, security, economy and environmental issues, but we will also be discussing two very important topics. 0ne will also be discussing two very important topics. One is Girls Education and the economic liberation of women Around The World, but also how collectively we deal with actions of countries like china and russia, who perhaps threaten the democratic norms and values we hold so dear. You mentioned values we hold so dear. You mentioned calling values we hold so dear. You mentioned calling for values we hold so dear. You mentioned calling for more investment in Girls Education.

And also, the merger of the Foreign Office and differed was about making sure that our Development Work is reinforced and amplified by i would diplomatic work and thats where the G7 Meeting is so important. Its an example of where we are coordinating and collaborating with international partners to deliver an easily important agenda. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres austin. Good morning. Theres still no indication of when Manchester Uniteds game with liverpool will be rearranged, after the Fan Protests at old Trafford Yesterday forced it to be postponed. Around 200 united supporters invaded the stadium to register their anger at the glazer Familys Ownership of the club. Police said two officers had been injured and theres been condemnation of the behaviour of some fans. Ian stirling is the Vice Chair of the Manchester United Supporters trust. Violence isnt the answer for this. We support peaceful protest, but what needs to happen is the Government Need to put this review into place and put their findings into legislation very, very quickly. We have to understand what is the Root Cause for these protests yesterday. Staying with football, tottenhams hopes of making next seasons Champions League are still alive after a 4 0 win over sheffield united. Gareth bale was in outstanding form at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. He scored a hat trick, with son Heung Min adding the fourth late on. The result puts spurs up to fifth and afterwards bale said the team are playing football the tottenham way, some interpreting that as a bit of a dig at former managerjose mourinho. And there was a win for tottenhams north London Rivals arsenal.

Today Marks A significant date in the history of Northern Ireland. Exactly 100 years ago, a law came into force which set up a parliament in belfast and divided the island of ireland. The anniversary is viewed very differently by unionists and nationalists, as our Ireland Correspondent Chris Page reports. These are the pictures Northern Ireland wants to be best known for a place of friendly cities and stunning seaside scenery. But it has a history which hurts. Its still recovering from a conflict which lasted for 30 years, until the late 1990s. There was violence, too, at the time of Northern Irelands birth, sectarian murder across the island of ireland. The southern 26 counties went to war with britain to achieve independence, but a majority in the North Eastern six counties wanted to stay in the uk. And thats what happened. Today is one of a series of anniversaries. Its notjust the start of Northern Ireland as we know it. Its the start of the united kingdom as we know it. And the united kingdom is stronger and better because of all the constituent parts, and Northern Ireland plays a huge part in that. Unionists view this is the centenary of the state they strongly value. But for people who identify as irish, its the anniversary of the partition of ireland, a source of great injustice. The creation of a Brexit Trade Border with the rest of the uk has again sharpened political divisions. I think it is possible for us to deal with the past. Yeah. There would be little, some pain, but generously, ethically, i think it is possible for us to deal with the present, given even our present difficulties. I think they should be ironed out. They can be. Events to mark the centenary have been restricted so far due to the pandemic, but that doesnt make 2021 any less significant here. Chris page, Bbc News, belfast. From today in wales, two households will be allowed to meet indoors, and some families and friends will be able to hug for the first time in months. In the latest step out of lockdown, two households, plus another living on their own, will be able to form a bubble to meet and have contact indoors. Gyms, Swimming Pools and Fitness Facilities can also reopen as restrictions are eased. Indoor activities of up to 15 people, including Exercise Classes and swimming lessons, are given the green Light 0rganised Childrens indoor activities, like sports classes, scouts, Parent And Baby classes, will also be able to restart Community Centres can reopen. Some areas will still be in lockdown until may 17th, including indoor Play Areas. Lets talk more on this with ianjones, who is head of service at Actif Sport and leisure, in camarthen. Thank you forjoining us. Hows it going so far today . I took the family in for a swim this morning and at the centre, it was fully booked, as all our sites are. People are over the moon to be able to get back in exercising again. In terms of capacity, is it still limited . We still have a degree of safe restrictions, the two metres is a law in wales so obviously, capacity is somewhat limited. Having said that, we do feel people coming back, they want that safe experience, they want that confidence that they can come back and thats the way we have approached it initially. But were very hopeful of those capacities increasing over the coming weeks. This increasing over the coming weeks. As you say, its fully booked which is great. I wondered you say, its fully booked which is great. Iwondered how you say, its fully booked which is great. I wondered how people have habits might have changed because there has been so much online work out through the course of boxing. 0bviously work out through the course of boxing. Obviously its cheaper for people to do as well. But from how things are looking now, it sounds like you dont think. You think people will Go Back to their old habits quite quickly . When oui our core users are oui core users are desperate our core users are desperate to get back and i think people appreciate the outdoors much more. I think the lockdown and people having that flexibility to work from home has been welcome as well. What we have found is we need to change our products, we are trying to diversify and make sure that we can offer an experience where people can exercise online whereas we couldnt couple of years ago. But equally, a lot of people miss the social aspects of exercising as a class or in a group or with a team. Even some of our online classes, we have offered different people to catch up with a cup of tea and a chat afterwards as well. So i think its striking the balance and making sure we have something that Interests Everybody and again the diversity offered in terms of the different types of classes we offer as well as important. Classes we offer as well as important classes we offer as well as important. Classes we offer as well as imortant. ,. , ~ ,. , important. So you will keep that h brid important.

Thats key for us and the industry is renowned for having to adapt and people enjoy a class for a few months and then theres a new one comes along and people are keen to try new things out, but its important for us as well, i think were quite a rural county and the ability for People In the winter months particularly, to be able to exercise from home from time to time is relieve beneficial for exercise from home from time to time is Relieve Beneficialfor them. So i think its wrong to be something like that Hybrid Model going forward. As it will for peoples general workplace. We are finding its probably going to be a different environment to what were used to. In two thank you very much ianjones. After six series, line of duty reached its dramatic conclusion last night.
