In many areas of Northern Ireland, feelings of Loss And Injustice have endured through the decades, but for the families of ballymurphy, now, a new sense of vindication. Its been a very significant day for many people who remember the events that happened in this part of belfast. The mod has said it will reflect on the findings of the inquest, but there are many more inquests to come involving killings from the troubles. Its understood the government is still planning to effectively bring in a ban on prosecutions involving paramilitaries and veterans with regard to killings before 1998, but there will be a lot of opposition to that here. There is still a great depth of feeling when it comes to getting justice for Loved Ones in Northern Ireland, no matter how much time has passed. Emma vardy, thank you.

An issue very much highlighted by the pandemic is there a clear plan for Social Care yet . There wasnt. Nearly two years since the Prime Minister arrived in Downing Street and said he had a clear plan to fix Social Care once and for all, and the pandemic has absolutely highlighted the importance of that Care System. Today, we gotjust nine words proposals on social Care Reform will be brought forward. The expectation was that the mention would be brief, but not that brief. People were hoping at the very least for some indication of the time of when we would get details. 0ne Indication of the time of when we would get details.

It understands the pressures on the system, but the Sticking Point is always the money, and how much is it going to cost . How will that money be raised . To Quote One Expert in the field, the question that we need answering is, is this funding reform, is itjust about the money . Perhapsjust putting a cap on catastrophic Care Costs for some people. 0r putting a cap on catastrophic Care Costs for some people. Or is it about funding for reform . So, a wider vision for what we need for the future in terms of care for everyone, notjust older people, but for people under the age of 65 who need help.

Colin, tell us, whats it like . Still very different to any Brit Awards i have covered before and if you look at the Red Carpet you will see jessie you look at the Red Carpet you will seejessie ware, limited for best album and best female and you can see how far they are keeping the stars away from reporters speaking to them. But 4000 fans will be allowed inside, more than half of those tickets going to Front Line key workers and they have got to have a ticket, and there is one other thing, they have got to have. Negative. Clear. Both negative the hottest ticket in town a Negative Covid test. Everyone at tonights brits needs one, the audience and the stars. Sticks a swab right down the back of your neck and you, whoa, a little bit. Not your normal preparation for the Brit Awards, is it . No, no, not really. Rag and bone mans tested negative so will be performing with pink and the nhs choir, singing in front of an audience for the first time in more than a year. Ifeel like its going to be emotional, like, i think i might have to hold back a couple of tears, because, yeah, i dont know if im fully emotionally prepared for it. I mean, ijust miss it so much. 4000 fans will be in the 02 arena, no social distancing, no masks, because the brits are part of the Governments Pilot Scheme for reopening live events.

Being back on the stage, i wanted to do something different and special, so there is pressure that comes with that but im very excited. Its different, and it is fun, and ijust decided to go a little bit out there with the performance but make it very london. This years brits are about a lot more than who wins awards. If all goes well, the event could help bring about the return of live music all around the uk. Colin paterson, Bbc News, londons 02 arena. Time for a look at the weather. Heres chris fawkes.
