Airlifted to hospital. Lava from a volcanic eruption in the Democratic Republic Of Congo stops just short of the city of goma prompting evacuees to return home. The eurovision winners Lead Singer agrees to a Drugs Test after speculation over this competition footage. Good evening. A new study has found that two doses of the uks main covid vaccines offer strong protection against the so called indian variant of the virus. The public Health England Study the first to look at the Vaccines Effectiveness against the indian variant comes amid warnings that the new strain is now the dominant one in some parts of the country. Heres our Science Correspondent Pallab ghosh. Today and through the weekend, people in rochdale were actively coming forward to receive their vaccinations. The latest research shows that the jabs are effective in reducing the chances of getting infected from the variant that came from india, and experts think that the vaccines are stopping serious illness as well. Of the 3,000 or so identified cases of the variant, there have only been 31 Hospital Admissions and just six deaths. Most of these vaccines are really good. Im going for my second Astrazeneca Jab soon and i think we will get more of that data as we go forward. The straightforward message is get that second dose. As restrictions ease, there is a greater chance that people will be infected. And its thought the variant from India Spreads more quickly than the current kent strain. Research shows that the first dose of the pfizer and Astrazeneca Jab are 33 effective against the variant from india. The second dose boosts that to 88 for pfizer and 60 for astrazeneca. The lower figure for astrazeneca is down to the fact that people in that group were older and its thought that both vaccines are just as effective. Experts say that its important for people to come forward for vaccinations and to take their second job. There is a bit of a race going on between the Vaccine Programme and the relaxation of restrictions and so on and we will see more cases over the coming weeks as a result of that. So there is still a need be cautious and not to draw the false conclusion if you like that it is all over because it isnt over yet. Scientists expect to have a clearer idea of how quickly the variant from India Spreads in the coming weeks, which in turn will determine whether all legal restrictions can be lifted onjune the 21st. But the News Vaccines are effective against it is a big boost to those wanting to get back to a more normal life. Pallab ghosh, bbc news. Meanwhile, a Senior Minister has rejected a claim from borisjohnson� s former Senior Advisor that the original Government Plan for coronavirus was to allow most of the population to develop Herd Immunity to it. It comes ahead of Dominic Cummingss appearance before mps this week. Heres our political correspondent damian grammaticus. Late last year and out of downing street. Dominic cummings had been boris johnsons closest aide. Now, hes spilling his stories, even if they damage his former boss. The events he wants to highlight . Last march and how the Prime Minister handled the start of the pandemic. In spain and italy, covid was spreading fast, lockdowns being brought in. In the uk, lockdowns came ten days later. Mr cummings said borisjohnson� s strategy was different, to try for Herd Immunity, letting people build natural resistance. He tweeted today. Herd immunity wasnt a secret strategy, it was the official strategy. He says, it only changed when officials understood Herd Immunity� s effects Hundreds Of Thousands Choking to death, no nhs for anybody. An economic implosion, so we moved to plan b, suppression. And he says, critical as i am of the pm, the disaster was notjust his fault, the official plan was disastrously misconceived. Plan b had to be bodged amid total and utter chaos. This is one of those public explanations he points to, talk about cocooning the most vulnerable only from the governments top behavioural scientist on march 10th. By the Time they come out of their cocooning, Herd Immunity� s been achieved in the rest of the population. And the Chief Scientific Adviser two days later. Its not possible to stop everybody getting it and its also actually not desirable because you want some immunity in the population. We need to have immunity to protect ourselves from this in the future. Today, the Home Secretary insisted Herd Immunity had never been the strategy. Not at all, no, absolutely not. Our policy from the outset, andrew, the policy and the strategy. So why is Dominic Cummings telling us that is true . Well, i Cant Speak for Mr Cummings and one individual. The government says it followed the science and acted to protect lives and the nhs. Mr cummings will have his chance to produce his own evidence before parliament this week. Damian grammaticus, bbc news. Scotlands Health Secretary says covid restrictions in glasgow could be eased if the number of people in Intensive Care does not go up. Glasgow is the only part of scotland still in level three, and some businesses have criticised the decision to keep it under stricter measures. Humza yousaf told the bbc ministers want to ease restrictions as soon as possible. He hopes after this Week Itll become clear whether case numbers have led to a rise in icu patients in the city. And the latest Government Figures on Coronavirus Show 2,235 new infections in the latest 24 hour period, which means an average ofjust over 2,500 cases per day in the last week. Five deaths were recorded in the last 2a hours, and that means an average of six deaths per day in the past week. The total number of Uk Deaths is now 127,721. And, turning to the vaccination programme, just over 200,000 people have received a first Vaccine Dose in the last 2a hours. In total, almost 38 Million people have now had their firstjab. Thats 72 of the adult population. Nearly 557,000 people had their second dose in the past 2a hours and takes the overall number in that group, to more than 22. 6 million or 43 of the adult population. And well find out how these stories and many others are covered in tomorrows front pages, at 10 30 and 11 30 this evening in the papers. 0ur Guestsjoining Me Tonight are benedicte paviot, Uk Correspondent for france24, and caroline wheeler, Deputy Political Editor at the sunday Times. Now, belarus has forced a Ryanair Flight to land in minsk where the authorities arrested a leading Opposition Activist Whod been onboard. The plane was flying over belarus when it was told of an alleged Bomb Threat and ordered to land, escorted by a fighterjet. The activist on board roman protasevic the activist on Board Roman Protasevich was then arrested. He is the founder of an online News Portal which played a key role during the protests against the Re Election of the authoritarian leader, Alexander Lukashenko. The eu has condemned belaruss actions and will discuss sanctions tomorrow. Nato said it was a serious and dangerous incident, and required an international investigation. One of the advisor� s to lithuanias president has demanded an explanation from the belarussian government about what happened. On board the plane there were 171 passengers. Among them, a belarussian political activist, an opposition member, the founder of the nexta outlet, roman protasevich. He was detained. We dont know his destiny so far. The president of lithuania demands that the belarussian regime immediately release all the passengers, including roman protasevich, and allow them to travel to vilnius. He intends to speak on it at the European Council tomorrow in brussels. Net stay on this. Lets stay on this. 0ur Correspondent Sarah Rainsford is in moscow. The criticism, and really the outrage, coming in thick and fast now by european, the Uk And Other Leaders across the world, as they really try to take on whats happened. Because this does appear to have been an audacious diversion some are calling it even a hijacking of a european flight, to divert it to land in belarus, in order, it does appear, to arrest a prominent member of the opposition from belarus, who had been living abroad for some Time. Now, he is a Well Knownjournalist Who was responsible for founding nexta, this telegram channel, which had been very much involved in the protests against Alexander Lukashenko last year. Youll remember those fast protests On The streets across belarus. But anyway he was on board this flight from athens, returning from holiday, when it was forced to divert to minsk. Now, the details are difficult to pin down, although ryanair, the airline itself, has put out a statement saying it was informed by Air Traffic Control in minsk in belarus that there was a Security Incident and it was told to divert to belarus. The plane, though, was searched extensively on landing and no suspicious item, and certainly no bomb, was found on board. Instead, the journalist was detained and led away, leading to this real backlash of real Anger And Outrage by many european officials. Here, the foreign secretary Dominic Raab said this outlandish action would have serious implications. For more, lets speak now to the chair of the foreign affairs select committee, tom tugendhat. Good evening. White might have called this an attack on democracy. How significant is this . This is an attack by a dictatorship on a civilian aircraft, an irish civilian aircraft, flying between two European Union capitals, two nato capitals, in order to detain an individual who was only exercising his civil rights for freedom of speech. This is a right that is absolutely guaranteed in almost all european states, and this flight, this Transit Route over belarus, was completely legal and had no reason for deception. Yet the belarus authorities scrambled to intercept and force this aircraft to the ground, with terrible echoes of the shooting down of the malaysian aircraft over ukraine in 2014 which killed so many dutch civilians. We have touched On The widespread condemnation from latvia to germany. Tonight the foreign secretary location map. Even by the standards of the belarus crackdown, this is alarming. What repercussions do you envisage . Alarming. What repercussions do you envisaae . , alarming. What repercussions do you envisaae . ,. ,. , envisage . This is alarming and i have been envisage . This is alarming and i have been speaking envisage . This is alarming and i have been speaking to envisage . This is alarming and i have been speaking to opposite| have been speaking to opposite numbers in washington, lithuania, estonia and other European Capitals as well, and we are very clear that there are several things we need to see immediately. We need an investigation by the international civil aviation 0rganisation, investigation by the international civil aviation organisation, the body charged with monitoring european aircraft. We need to see supplementary sanctions On The Alexander Lukashenko regime to make sure they are not profiting from assets overseas, and as we await the reports we will get from these organisations and in order to protect our citizens and other citizens who are using Transit Routes round europe, we need to make sure all flight over belarus ceases immediately, including flights into and out of that country, and therefore the grounding of the Belarus Sea and air fleet. But all the while this Belarus Sea and air fleet. But all the while this is Belarus Sea and air fleet. But all the while this is going Belarus Sea and air fleet. But all the while this is going on Belarus Sea and air fleet. But all the while this is going on many. The while this is going on many opposition figures have been arrested or have fled into exile, so why will something be done now . Maw; why will something be done now . Many of us have been why will something be done now . Many of us have been calling why will something be done now . Ij� ia� iy of us have been calling for things to be done a long Time ago, and this is evidence that if you fail to act then eventually you act to fail, thatis then eventually you act to fail, that is exactly what we are doing. We have we have encouraged people to think they can act with impunity. We must make sure they realise they cant, because this is a direct threat, notjust to belarus in people speaking out, but to all of us. Scrambling jets to scrambling Fighterjets To Down Aircraft and bring them to the ground is extremely dangerous and in this country can get away with it how many others around the world do you think will be looking at the opportunity to force aircraft to the ground because a journalist, civilian, businessmen or perhaps a politician who they dont like is on that aircraft . We already know china is holding two hostages from canada and we know that the iranian government called hostages, such as nazanin zaghari ratcliffe, so how much worse would it be if we saw civilian Air Traffic Force to the ground in Orderfor Hostages civilian Air Traffic Force to the ground in order for hostages to civilian Air Traffic Force to the ground in Orderfor Hostages to be taken . That is what this president is and it must be made very clear that nato countries and European Countries will not tolerate this act of violence against european people.
