The News/governments-vaccination-committee'>Governments Vaccination Committee is set to recommend that all 16 and 17 year olds should be given a News/covid-jab'>Covid Jab. Thejoint committee on vaccinatiOn And immunisation stopped short of making the move last month because it said it was still assessing the benefits and risks for that News/age-group'>Age Group. About 1. 4 Million teenagers would be included in the new roll out. Some countries including the united states, canada and france, are already routinely vaccinating those aged 12 and over. Tim muffett reports. It began with the elderly and most vulnerable. Since last december, the ages of those receiving News/covid-jab'>Covid Jabs in the uk has got lower and lower. But generally, it hasnt included those under 18. In some countries, including france, israel and america, many teenagers are already receiving covid vaccinations. Covid is a tonne worse than getting the vaccine. In the uk, the official guidance until now has been thatjabs should only be given to those children aged 12 and above with serious underlying health conditions, or who live with someNews/one-'>One at a greater risk from covid. Thejoint committee on vaccinations and immunisation says it has been assessing potential risks, including reports of very rare adverse effects, such as the inflammation of Heart Muscles amongst young adults. Today though the committee is expected to recommend 16 and 17 year olds in the uk are vaccinated against covid, which would affect around 1. 5 million teenagers. Yesterday, scotlands first minister, nicola sturgeon, said she would welcome such a move by the vaccine committee. I am hoping it will recommend going further with the vaccination of young people. I am particularly concerned, if possible, to get vaccination to 16 and 17 year olds, which is important for those going to college and university. The only News/covid-jab'>Covid Jab currently authorised in the uk for Under 18s is the pfizer vaccine. Whitehall sources say ministers in england are expected to accept the new recommendations, though its not yet clear when the expansion of the News/vaccination-programme'>Vaccination Programme would start.

The jcvi will be updating on their recommendations imminently and then the government will respond.

So all i can say at this stage im afraid is that it is imminent and people will get clarity very soon. Lets speak now to professor peter 0penshaw.

And i think Thejc Vi is quite right to move gradually, if that is what theyre going to do, were still waiting for the announcement. But i think is the right thing to start extending vaccination down into older teenagers. We know that they have very high of infection. If youre not aware infection is raising in society, it is in those News/age-group'>Age Groups. There is a balance between potential Side Effects and the damage that covid can do, but this News/age-group'>Age Group hasnt had the benefit of being infected in very early childhood as with other common coronaviruses, so the best way to get this particular News/age-group'>Age Group immunised is to give them vaccinating, i think.

But if they are going to recommend extension to these older teen younger teenagers, i would welcome that. Make the decision in the wrong time.

I think the other thing to point out is that the academy of medical scientists report that we published not long ago did highlight that the chances of a major return of covid in this coming winter is increased if we dont vaccinate that younger News/age-group'>Age Group and that they are major sources of circulation of The Virus at the moment and that there is a big benefit to society in vaccinating those younger News/age-group'>Age Groups.

The evidence so far is that a lot of people who are eligible for the vaccine in their 20s, for example, are not taking it up. The Prime Minister is said to be raging about that. That is a problem, isnt it . Yes, but on the other hand, i think there is a lot of News/vaccine-enthusiasm'>Vaccine Enthusiasm amongst sectors of society. I think the difficulty is how to really communicate effectively with people who are not listening to the bbc and not really receiving proper communications about the benefits of vaccination. We know that there is a very strong gradient in society, the least advantaged people in society are the least likely to get vaccinated and the most likely to suffer from severe disease if they contract covid. So, i think we really do need to redouble our efforts to reach those under vaccinated parts of the community. How do we do that . We have seen all sorts of tantalising offers of uber deals and pizzas and so on, what else can we do on to encourage more people to have the vaccine, especially younger people . I think caettin especially younger people . I think getting information especially younger people . I think getting information out especially younger people . I think getting information out there especially younger people . I think getting information out there is i especially younger people . I think getting information out there is so important. I dont think we are in the business of coercion, but getting good information to people is so important and information through trusted sources. So, Opinion Leaders within the communities that have a low News/vaccination-rates'>Vaccination Rates can be highly influential and i think its also hard to overestimate the impact of fairly small rewards in terms of badges or pens, they can be powerful inducements, but other more palpable rewards like the award of 100 which is being given in some part of united states, these do seem to have a big effect. But i think the availability of vaccines is another problem. Making sure that in community centres, masks or at those places where people go, mosques. Making sure that access to vaccine is important.

Lets bring you some breaking News now reports are just coming in that two Passenger Trains have collided in the czech republic. Local police say the two trains crashed into News/each-other'>Each Other near a village in the pilsen region, in Western Bohemia shortly after 8am local time. At least two people have died. Nearly 40 people were injured, seven are in critical condition. Rescue units, including helicopters, are at the scene. Well bring you more updates as they come in.

Mr underwood was News/one-'>One of two guards killed in a drNews/one-'>One attack on the mv News/mercer-street'>Mercer Street, operated by an israeli owned company, Off 0man six days ago. Fierce fighting between afghan government forces and the taliban is continuing in the southern city of lashkar gah, the capital of helmand province. There are reports of an intense battle close to police headquarters. Meanwhile, the taliban have now claimed responsibility for a News/car-bomb'>Car Bomb and News/gun-attack'>Gun Attack in a high News/security-district'>Security District in kabul. Militants were apparently targeting the home of the acting News/defence-minister'>Defence Minister who wasnt there at the time of the attack. At least eight people were killed and more than 20 injured. 0ur correspondent, secunder kermani, is in kabul. He told us more about this latest bombing. Yes, this was an attack that happened Last Night in a central area of the city. It began with a News/car-bomb'>Car Bomb that exploded outside the gates of the News/defence-minister'>Defence Ministers home. Four attackers, four gunmen fought their way inside the home, engaged in an hours long battle with Security Forces. The News/defence-minister'>Defence Minister was not there at the time. His family were safely evacuated. Of course, this is raising concerns about the News/militants-ability'>Militants Ability to strike really at the centre of the government. Kabul, whilst over the years its seen unfortunately huge numbers of suicide bombings, in recent months, really for the last year, its seen less of these big, complex attacks, suspected to be carried out by the taliban. Many fear this is yet another escalation in the violence. First News/we-saw'>We Saw the taliban taking over more rural areas, then News/we-saw'>We Saw them launching assaults on provincial capitals. Now weve had this attack at the centre of government. One thing to note that is more positive for afghan Security Forces, Last Night also saw ordinary residents in kabul and other cities across the country coming onto rooftops and balconies, chanting, god is great, in support of the Security Forces, in defiance of the taliban, celebrating the resistance the afghan Security Forces have been putting up against the taliban. Thats going to be a key boost to the morale of the Security Forces, who are fighting the taliban On A number of fronts at the moment. Lets get more now on News/one-'>One of our stories from earlier this hour as new research shows that children who become ill with coronavirus are unlikely to suffer with long term effects. Scientists at News/kings-college'>Kings College london, found illness from covid lasted, On Average, no more than a week in people aged between five and 17. They describe the findings as reassuring. Emma duncan is a professor of clinical endocrinology at News/kings-college'>Kings College london who worked on the research. I spoke to her a little earlier. What we were able to do through the News/kings-college'>Kings College News/london-covid'>London Covid News/symptom-study'>Symptom Study in collaboration with zoe is look at the quarter of A Million children who were proxy reported through the app. About 75,000 of them were tested for News/sars-cov'>Sars Cov 2. About 10 , just under 7000, were positive. We could look at those childrens symptoms related to the time of when they had those tests, so we could see how long symptoms lasted for. We could also look at a News/control-group'>Control Group of children who tested negative. To have a look at how they symptoms went. We found On Average children who had symptoms were only ill for six days. Slightly longer in older children between 12 and 17, seven days, and slightly younger in Primary School children, 5 11, five days. Only 4 of children had symptoms by the time they got to day 28 and reassuringly the burden of symptoms did not get worse over time, in fact by day 28 On Average these children only had two symptoms and fewer than 2 had symptoms by the time we got to eight weeks. We also looked at children who tested negative for News/sars-cov'>Sars Cov 2 to see how they tracked. Only a handful of them still had symptoms at day 28 however they had quite burdensome disease at that point and i think News/one-'>One of the things our study says is that it is reassuring firstly that children can get prolonged symptoms, validating the experience of those who have experienced this, but it is uncommOn And most children get better over time, however other children can have illnesses which can also have a protracted course. In terms of News/health-planning'>Health Planning we have to look after all children with burdensome and protracted illness during the pandemic, whether it is due to covid or not. The fear for young people that they could get Long Covid, that is pretty unlikely in children . I think that is a fair comment. What are the implications for the idea of vaccinating younger people . It is in the News today, we are likely to have a recommendation on vaccinating 16 and 17 year olds but also other countries are vaccinating children over the age of 12. Some people are worried about the risk reward benefit, if the concerns about covid in young people are as you have just indicated not that great. Our study did not look directly at vaccination but our data has been looked at by those who are considering vaccination in children and they are using it to help inform News/decision-making'>Decision Making and recommendations. Exactly a year ago, lebanon witnessed a blast now considered News/one-'>One of the biggest non nuclear explosions in history. The scene on the day was catastrophic in beirut where a News/ports-warehouse'>Ports Warehouse storing News/ammonium-nitrate'>Ammonium Nitrate exploded, leaving over 200 people dead and thousands injured. This is what beirut� s port looks like today the destruction still visible. A year on, the families of the victims are still looking for closure, and for those responsible to be held to account. The explosion plunged lebanon into a deeper crisis, but the small Mediterranean Country had been on the brink for years due to the dire economy and political instability. Carine torbey has more from beirut. Its a day of reflection, a day to go back to that moment that changed the city completely and turned many lives upside down. It is a day that its going to be marked with lots of events, mainly in the afternoon. There will be several marches from several points in the city, mainly through the devastated streets, and from the houses of the victims, for people to show News/sympathy-and-solidarity'>Sympathy And Solidarity with the relatives of those who lost their lives in that apocalyptic blast News/one-'>One year ago. There will also be a Moment Of Silence and there will be prayers for those who died, for those who survived, and those who are still painfully dealing with whatever this blast made them endure, whether physically, emotionally, psychologically or those who have lost their houses in the blast. So it is a long day, a national day for mourning in the country and News/one-'>One way or another News/everyNews/one-'>One-today'>EveryNews/one-'>One Today in lebanon feels this is a day for them to reflect on what happened and also to show a lot of anger about the way things have proceeded News/one-'>One year till today. One year has passed since the News/apocalypse-and-beirut'>Apocalypse And Beirut is still assessing the impact. The News/port-area'>Port Area where an unknown quantity of News/ammonium-nitrate'>Ammonium Nitrate exploded stands in ruins. One year after the explosion, all the debris is swept to a corner and it is kept here at the port. Names of the victims fill the walls surrounding the area that some here call the crime scene. Their families still dont have answers for what happened that day and why. Thejudge investigating the News/port-explosion'>Port Explosion wants to summon high ranking politicians and Security Officers for interrogation. So far he hasnt been able to do so. Most of them have legal immunity. This protest is part of a movement by relatives of the victims of the blast to press the authorities to allow the judge to interrogate politicians and security officials. They say they will fight to The End for those responsible to be held to account. Annie lost her 29 year old daughter, gaya, in the blast. If they are innocent, they can go to the court and say, these are my, you know, and since they are hiding themselves and hiding, covering on News/each-other'>Each Other, it means they all of them, they have a kind of responsibility in this. For some of the victims, the pain of that day lingers. This man almost lost his leg in the explosion. He has been undergoing News/one-'>One surgery after another since then. Translation sometimes my kids ask. Me to play with them and i cannot. I it is very hard. But i try to not let them feel my pain. I try my best. I stand on News/one-'>One leg and go and play with them. I try to make them not hate lebanon for what happened to me. The News/port-explosion'>Port Explosion has been another painful symbol of the decay in the system. The country was already facing its deepest financial and economic crisis. More than half the population is living in poverty, amid crippling shortages of medicine, fuel and electricity. The destruction of huge parts of the port and neighbouring areas plunged the country into misery. Compounded the national plunge into misery. Speaking about the misery and about the collapse in the country, france will be organising today as well an international conference for the support of lebanon. This will be politically very closely followed but on the ground this is mainly a day for the victims and for their News/call-forjustice'>Call Forjustice and accountability. President biden has said the democratic governor of the state of new york, News/andrew-cuomo'>Andrew Cuomo, should resign. Its after an investigation found he had sexually harassed women while in office. The five News/month-inquiry'>Month Inquiry described a toxic workplace where people were too scared to complain. Barbara News/plett-usher'>Plett Usher reports. New yorks ambitious, combative governor had been banking On A run for a fourth term in office and now he is plotting furiously to salvage his job. Just a year ago, he was arguably the most popular governor in the us, leading the fight against covid, a darling of the democrats. More like a pariah now, deserted at the partys highest level after the damning results of an investigation found he sexually harassed nearly a dozen employees. I think he should resign. What i said was if the investigation of the News/attorney-general'>Attorney General concluded that the allegations were correct, that, back in march, i would recommend he resigned. That is what im doing today. The report was five months in the making. Investigators revealed a disturbing pattern of abusive behaviour that they said violated state and federal law. The investigation found that governor News/andrew-cuomo'>Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed current and former new News/york-state'>York State employees by engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature. They described a climate of fear that long prevented women from coming forward with complaints. The most serious was the governors unwelcome physical contact with women, including touching intimate body parts. Mr cuomo has remained defiant. He called the report politically biased and defended his hands on style as a harmless tradition of showing warmth through touch. I never touched anyNews/one-'>One inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. That isjust not who i am. And that is not who i have ever been. Even so, the governor could face civil and criminal prosecutiOn And his political career is imperilled. There is talk of impeachment. I thought he should have resigned a long time ago. I hope he has the decency to resign today. The News/metoo-movement'>Metoo Movement has been slow to come for new yorks Irrepressible Political Survivor but now he stands on very shaky ground.

The unsettled weather that weve been seeing recently is set to continue for another few days yet. Today we are looking at that mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers, like yesterday. Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery and slow moving but they are showers so we wont all catch News/one-'>One. You can see where we have got clear skies across the uk, we have also got a line of cloud coming in across scotland and Northern Ireland. Thats a News/weather-front'>Weather Front and its already been producing some rain and will continue to do so as we go through the rest of the day. Some of the rain will be heavy. Elsewhere a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, but seeing more showers develop, especially through the afternoon, and those could be heavy and thundery and slow moving. But there is a lot of dry weather around them and temperatures could get up to 22 23 today and that will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. Tonight there will be a few showers around, moving out of Northern Ireland across scotland, and then another system comes in from the atlantic, bringing some more rain into some western areas, accompanied by gusty winds, especially for Northern Ireland and the south west. So its not going to be a cold night tonight. This is why. Weve got low pressure and its attendant fronts coming in from the south west. This is todays front across scotland, moving eastwards. A look at the isobars tells you that its going to be windy in western areas. As this system pushes eastwards through the day, with the cloud are building ahead of it, youll notice the wind picking up elsewhere as well. Behind the rain we see a return to some showers. Again, those could be heavy and thundery but temperatures are still potentially getting up to 23. As we head through friday, our low pressure drifts further north so it is centred right across the uk. We have News/weather-front'>Weather Fronts rotating around it with rain or showers, and you can see there are more isobars on the charts so it is going to be a wetter and windier day for most. The Met Office actually has a yellow Weather Warning out for Northern Ireland, north wales, northern News/england-and-scotland'>England And Scotland because we could see some torrential downpours in a small amount of time, which could lead to some issues with flooding.

Absolutely amazing. So pleased for them. It is lovely to have had family and friends and members of the News/yacht-club'>Yacht Club here supporting the girls and doing their bit. I miss not being able to hug her, i so enjoyed that. I should have taken copyright out, i think, on that bit of video footage, but hey, it was just different and i cannot wait to have her home so i can give her a hug. We will of course keep you updated with all of the olympic action over the course of the morning. In the meantime, on to other News now. The News/governments-vaccination-committee'>Governments Vaccination Committee is set to recommend that all 16 and 17 year olds should be given a News/covid-jab'>Covid Jab. Thejoint committee on vaccinatiOn And immunisation stopped short of making the move last month because it said it was still assessing the benefits and risks for that News/age-group'>Age Group. About 1. 4 Million teenagers would be included in the new roll out. Some countries including the united states, canada and france, are already routinely vaccinating those aged 12 and over. Tim muffett reports. It began with the elderly and most vulnerable. Since last december, the ages of those receiving News/covid-jab'>Covid Jabs in the uk has got lower and lower. But generally, it hasnt included those under 18. In some countries, including france, israel and america, many teenagers are already receiving covid vaccinations. Covid is a tonne worse than getting the vaccine. In the uk, the official guidance until now has been thatjabs should only be given to those children aged 12 and above with serious underlying health conditions, or who live with someNews/one-'>One at a greater risk from covid. Thejoint committee on vaccinations and immunisation says it has been assessing potential risks, including reports of very rare adverse effects, such as the inflammation of Heart Muscles amongst young adults. Today though the committee is expected to recommend 16 and 17 year olds in the uk are vaccinated against covid, which would affect around 1. 5 million teenagers. Yesterday, scotlands first minister, nicola sturgeon, said she would welcome such a move by the vaccine committee. I am hoping it will recommend going further with the vaccination of young people. I am particularly concerned, if possible, to get vaccination to 16 and 17 year olds, which is important for those going to college and university. The only News/covid-jab'>Covid Jab currently authorised in the uk for Under 18s is the pfizer vaccine. Whitehall sources say ministers in england are expected to accept the new recommendations, though its not yet clear when the expansion of the News/vaccination-programme'>Vaccination Programme would start. Tim muffett, bbc News. Michelle dNews/one-'>Onelan is the universities minister. Thejcvi will be updating our recommendations imminently and then the government will respond. Throughout the pandemic, we have listened to thejcvi and we have adopted their recommendations because they are the experts, so all i can say at this stage, im afraid, is that it is imminent that people will get clarity very soon. Ollie lodmore is a 17 year old volunteer hes had the jab and wants others to have it. 16 and 17 year olds have had such a big social life and a lot of us have been going out a lot. There are a lot of people as well that are wearing mask at the moment because i think its important that they have jobs. If you get covid 19, you dont know how badly youre going to get it and you wouldnt want to be News/one-'>One of the News/one-'>Ones who are really badly affected. I think it will be a good demand. Loads of my friends have already had it, when they did the search vaccines. Since they died down, there hasnt been much opportunity for them to get them. People are wanting them and they are willing to drive very far for them or get their parents to take them, so i think there will be a demand. Obviously, there will be a demand. Obviously, there is still some scepticism about it but i do think the majority are willing to take it with open arms. With me is dr Simon Williams whos a senior News/lecturer-and-researcher'>Lecturer And Researcher in Public Health at News/swansea-university'>Swansea University he has been researching public opiniOn Around teen vaccincations.

Its pointed us in these large its pointed us in these large Opinion Polls that have been run on this topic that its as high as about two thirds of parents intended on having the children have the option of vaccination. This is particularly high among parents of 16 to 17 year olds. Eight out of ten said they would be willing or favourable towards the children being vaccinated. With that said, we and our research still find a lot of hesitance actually around this topic for various reasons. The main News/one-'>One being that people have a lower News/risk-tolerance'>Risk Tolerance around the idea of vaccination. A lot of people themselves are very supportive of and very willing of accepting the vaccine in themselves but would like to wait a little bit more time until there is more News/evidence-or-certainty'>Evidence Or Certainty around the potential News/safety-and-efficacy'>Safety And Efficacy for under 18. I think that is why theNews/jcvi-announcement'>Jcvi Announcement and is why the News/jcvi-announcement'>Jcvi Announcement and presumably the decision based on that today will be really important in encouraging uptake further amongst this News/age-group'>Age Group. Haifa in encouraging uptake further amongst this News/age-group'>Age Group. How do you convince those amongst this News/age-group'>Age Group.

How do you convince those that are a little bit i convince those that are a little bit reticent that it is safe, in the longer term as much as anything . I think that is the big concern. I think that is the big concern. I think a lot of people are seeing. When we speak to parents in our research some are saying that they want to wait until more than other peoples children are vaccinated, so that we do see it say. We are seeing this globally now as the united states recently for example have approximately half of that News/age-group'>Age Group being single vaccinated and deferred our double vaccinated. We are seeing more under 18 is being vaccinated with no significant reports of issues or Side Effects different to that that we hear occasionally amongst adults. I think that will definitely help. I think with the younger News/age-group'>Age Groups as well, there is an additional burden of misinformation. We see a lot of misinformation. We see a lot of misinformatiOn Among younger News/age-group'>Age Groups, who are perhaps more adverse to getting information from social reasons. Vaccination isnt a traditional active cores. Many parents will point to the fact that there arent the same kind of risks as there are two adults, so you could suggest that there are the same individual benefits. You could frame this is something that will continue to protect the vulnerable in society As Time Goes By and contribute to that overall population immunity. As an important message to get across. Did population immunity. As an important message to get across. Message to get across. Did you get a ma look message to get across. Did you get a News/map-look'>Map Look at message to get across.

Forsome Vaccine Passports domestically in nightclubs. For some hesitant young people, over 18 is but in that kind of 18 to 29 News/age-group'>Age Group, some woods report, we are not going to get the vaccine unless we absolutely have to do some of the reasons that we have spoken about. I think those negative or coercive incentives will nudge some people. Of course, they are controversial and without debate not without debate there. We looked less positive incentives, although there is a lot of research out there just on News/vaccine-uptake'>Vaccine Uptake that other health reasons. Incentives can work. Of health reasons. Incentives can work. Of course, not all incentives are created equally. We see in the united states where everything from 100 payments directly from a vaccine through to entering a lottery, which are likely to have more substantial impacts on uptake. When we look at what is happening in the uk ran discounts, if for some who are on the fence, it might help edge them towards it but certainly those who are more strongly concerned about Side Effects may be more towards the anti vaccination spectrum, more towards the antivaccination spectrum. Spectrum, News/one-'>One finalthought, i think im spectrum, News/one-'>One finalthought, i think im right spectrum, News/one-'>One finalthought, i think im right that spectrum, News/one-'>One finalthought, i think im right that children i spectrum, News/one-'>One finalthought, i think im right that children over l think im right that children over 16 have the right to decide for themselves . Can you see a situation where this could lead to potential conflict between parents, who perhaps want to encourage their children to have the vaccine and the children to have the vaccine and the children who are resistant . We definitel children who are resistant . Definitely can. Actually, the converse is well, where perhaps the young people themselves. As much as weve all spoken about lower uptake among young people, many were very eager and patiently waiting for their turn. Very eager and patiently waiting for theirturn. So, very eager and patiently waiting for their turn. So, there certainly is a proportion of young people, which will include 16 to 17 year olds who are more reluctant and may disagree with their parents but equally we could find at the other way around. In our research, we see some parents who are saying, i really want my vaccinatiOn And i want to wait and see what the sign says about safety in children. I think that is why todayis in children. I think that is why today is an important announcement. I think it will be slower and i think it will take a little bit longer to build a social norm around vaccination in under 18 is then it did in adults, even though again, we could look back to a year ago, where it did quite quickly develop. A lot of people were initially hesitant and then when a lot of people came forward, support builds. Tries that was really good to hear your thoughts. If youve got any questions about vaccines for Under 18s, The Roll Out, and how it might work, wed love to hear from you. At 2. 30pm, well put them to our health correspondentjim reed.

Yes, i am aware that thejcvi, the joint committee for vaccinatiOn And immunisatiOn Are looking at this. What they publish just over two weeks ago, i thought was incredibly thoughtful. They publish all of the things that they are looking for. The most important point is the benefit versus risk to the individual child. That is the centre of the News/decision-making'>Decision Making.

Over 200 people died and thousands were injured, after a News/ports-warehouse'>Ports Warehouse storing News/ammonium-nitrate'>Ammonium Nitrate exploded. A year on, the families of the victims are still looking for closure, and for those responsible to be held to account. Bbc arabic� s News/carine-torbey'>Carine Torbey reports. One year has passed since the News/apocalypse-and-beirut'>Apocalypse And Beirut is still assessing the impact. The News/port-area'>Port Area where an unknown quantity of News/ammonium-nitrate'>Ammonium Nitrate exploded stands in ruins. One year after the explosion, all the debris is swept to a corner and it is kept here at the port. Names of the victims fill the walls surrounding the area that some here call the crime scene. Their families still dont have answers for what happened that day and why. Thejudge investigating the News/port-explosion'>Port Explosion wants to summon high ranking politicians and Security Officers for interrogation. So far, he hasnt been able to do so. Most of them have legal immunity. This protest is part of a movement by relatives of the victims of the blast to press the authorities to allow the judge to interrogate politicians and security officials. They say they will fight to The End for those responsible to be held to account. Annie lost her 29 year old daughter, gaya, in the blast. If they are innocent, they can go to the court and say, these are my, you know, and since they are hiding themselves and hiding the covering on News/each-other'>Each Other, it means they all of them, they have a kind of responsibility in this. For some of the victims, the pain of that day lingers. This man almost lost his leg in the explosion. He has been undergoing News/one-'>One surgery after another since then. Translation sometimes my kids ask i me to play with them and i cannot. I it is very hard. But i try to not let them feel my pain. I try my best. I stand on News/one-'>One leg and go and play with them. I try to make them not hate lebanon for what happened to me. The News/port-explosion'>Port Explosion has been another painful symbol of the decay in the system. The country was already facing its deepest financial and economic crisis. More than half the population is living in poverty, amid crippling shortages of medicine, fuel and electricity. The destruction of huge parts of the port and neighbouring areas plunged the country into misery. Well lets speak to rami mortada, News/lebanons-ambassador'>Lebanons Ambassador to the uk who joins me now in london. Very good to have you with us and thank you forjoining us. 12 months on, the families of victims are still waiting for those responsible to be held to account. Why has it taken so long .

I totally understand j the anger and the frustration of the victims. The citizen in me and the official in me is also frustrated and angered. I think, having said this, we need to take three elements. One, it is a very complex investigation that has both domestic and international elements, so it might take some time to unveil everything. Secondly, it happens and against the backdrop of an acute News/trust-gap'>Trust Gap between the populatiOn And the establishment and this gap is being filled with speculations and assumptions. The third element is that thejudge, the prosecutor assumptions. The third element is that the judge, the prosecutor is bound by and in disclosure obligation, so he cannot and neither can the authorities disclose the progress of the investigation but it is progressing. Soon, we will come to the public sphere of the investigation. When the judge decides to publish his indictment documents. Untilthen, sense, documents. Until then, sense, communication documents. Untilthen, sense, communication is impossible due to this, to what the law dictates. We will keep on hearing these uncertainties and this heated atmosphere around the investigation, but beyond that, i think what News/we-saw'>We Saw in the beirut seaport, this tragic explosion, before and after, all of this is a combination of flaws in the system. This is an irrefutable truth that everybody needs to recognise and hope that in the immediate future, we will be able to form a reform focused government that attacks these issues and with the investigation, which i think, the investigation, which i think, the full truth is unveiled and the fulljustice is served, the country will not be able to stop the healing process. I would like to come on to that point, but in terms of the News/kind-ability'>Kind Ability of the investigation, we do know the currentjudge has been blocked from lifting the immunity of some Government Ministers but we do know his predecessor was removed from his positiOn At the request of two ministers, so how can people have confidence that this is a fair and credible investigation if politicians keep interfering . I think they need to judge politicians keep interfering . I think they need tojudge by politicians keep interfering . I think they need to judge by the politicians keep interfering . I think they need tojudge by The End think they need to judge by The End result. They need to judge by the substance of the investigation before the substance becomes public. I do understand there is disturbances and possibly some resistance. This is a process within the establishment and there are different legal ways and legal jurisprudence which are being laid out, but i think regardless of that, all this would remain to the News/core-issue'>Core Issue which is the need to irreversibly seek the full truth behind this explosion. I am confident that this strategic destination is set and there is no way to know that the victims or the lebanese populatiOn At large would accept any derail or tampering of the investigation. We have a professional prosecutor in the highest criminal court of the country. Although silently, because of the work the law dictates, but he has been progressing on the investigatiOn And i think people would be surprised once he comes public on the progress that he was able to achieve in this case. You touched On Able to achieve in this case. You touched on this, able to achieve in this case. You touched on this, i able to achieve in this case. You touched on this, i would like to just explore it a little more. Why is it taking so long to form a government . We note the new minister has held power twice before. I guess i wonder how can lebanon engage in these structural reforms demanded by these structural reforms demanded by the eu for example in order to unlock billions of dollars in aid when the same political figures stay in place at the top . In place at the top . Lebanon will need to tackle in place at the top . Lebanon will need to tackle these in place at the top . Lebanon will need to tackle these overdue i in place at the top .

Miriam, you stayed up all night to watch skys performance. Firstly, how tired are you and what did you make of the performance . Im not that tired, but the performance was amazing. It was so exciting. Watching sky fail her first two runs was very scary but then in The End she landed it perfectly. And you could have chosen many sports to participate in. What is it about skateboarding that you love so much . Just the freedom and it is so fun and there is creativity and the community is amazing. And lola, yourself, you came second in the national championships and does seeing News/sky-brown'>Sky Brown achieve what she achieved, a News/bronze-medal'>Bronze Medal, make your dream a bit more realistic .

There was a lot of controversy about skateboarding becoming an olympic sport. There were the purists who didnt want it to happen because it might lose its sense of community and that it is not about competition. Do you think that might have changed now . Well, i think it has definitely changed a little bit, it is getting more accepted and first skateboarders love. Change is always is a bit scary, but skateboarding is not really about medals and that kind of thing, like you say, but if it brings more awareness to the sport, better facilities and more acceptance of skateboarding in the wider public, then it is all positive things. And we have seen some really young people in the competition. Does that mean if you are old you cannot skateboard . No, but as you get bigger, gets a bit further to fall, as it were. But yes, young people do have an News/advantage-size'>Advantage Size wise i guess and not as easy to hurt yourself and you heal quicker and stuff, but you are still seeing people like News/rune-glifberg'>Rune Glifberg in the News/mens-park'>Mens Park tonight. He is in his 405, still absolutely top of his game, so it is not the younger skaters necessarily winning the News/mens-park'>Mens Park and stuff, so it is going to be exciting to watch it tonight. Yes, and News/sky-brown'>Sky Brown, the next superstar . SomeNews/one-'>One who can really take skating to the next level .

Yes, we spoke to lola and miriam about paris 2024, is that the dream as well . Yes, it would be nice. As you said before, narrowly missed the cut this time, which was a bit disappointing, but the next News/one-'>One is only three years away, so if im still on top of my game then, hopefully i will get another chance. The crew of an News/oil-tanker'>Oil Tanker that was targeted in an suspected hijacking in the Gulf Of Oman is believed to be safe. The uks maritime organisation says armed men who boarded the panama flagged News/mv-asphalt-princess'>Mv Asphalt Princess have now left the ship. Iran has denied it was behind the seizure. Meanwhile, a british News/security-guard'>Security Guard who was killed in a separate News/oil-tanker'>Oil Tanker attack has been named as adrian underwood. Mr underwood was News/one-'>One of two guards killed in a drNews/one-'>One attack on the mv News/mercer-street'>Mercer Street, operated by an israeli owned company, off oman six days ago. The head of the british military says iran is risking an escalation of hostilities in the middle east. That we need to be doing fundamentally is calling out iran for its very reckless behaviour. They made a big mistake on the attack they did against the News/mercer-street'>Mercer Street vessel last week, because of course that is very much internationalised, the state of play internationalised, the state of play in the gulf. I think we will work out with our allies what is the best way of providing protectiOn And convoys may not necessarily be the right method and we will keep reviewing, but ultimately we have to restore deterrence because it is behaviour like that that leads to escalatiOn And that could very easily lead to News/miscarriage-relation'>Miscarriage Relation and that would be very disastrous for all peoples of the gulf and the international community.

Do not forget, this ship is a News/panama-ship'>Panama Ship and it is based in the united arab emirates. Two years ago another ship of this company was seized by iranian revolutionaries guards. But what we are hearing is that this is a suspicious plan, they want to use as a pretext for a hostile attack against iran.

The ever given saga highlighted our reliance on global News/supply-chain'>Supply Chains for just about everything and exposed the weaknesses in seaborne transport.

This giant of the seas became stranded after negotiating News/one-'>One of the narrowest parts of the canal. She was stuck fast and the waterway was blocked for six days. Hundreds of ships were unable to pass through, causing havoc in a global News/container-industry'>Container Industry already under pressure because of the covid outbreak. The saga of the ever given itself may be over but what it has shown is how much impact a single event involving News/one-'>One giant vessel can have on the entire global News/supply-chain'>Supply Chain and just how vulnerable the systems we rely on for imports every day really are.

Prices have gNews/one-'>One through the roof and it is becoming unworkable. And it is notjust prices that are the problem. Some traders are simply struggling to find space on vessels coming from East Asia at any price, such is the level of demand. If you manage to get a container loaded at the suppliers and book it On A News/vessel-sailing'>Vessel Sailing next week, the line may not load it on that vessel and they may not load on the next vessel, and the next vessel after that. In other words, your container is stuck in News/shanghai-port'>Shanghai Port for three additional weeks before it is actually shipped on the vessel. Some businesses are happy.

Now its time for a look at the weather with carol. The unsettled weather that weve been seeing recently is set to continue for another few days yet. Today we are looking at that mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers, like yesterday. Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery and slow moving but they are showers so we wont all catch News/one-'>One. You can see where we have got clear skies across the uk, we have also got a line of cloud coming in across scotland and Northern Ireland. Thats a News/weather-front'>Weather Front and its already been producing some rain and will continue to do so as we go through the rest of the day. Some of the rain will be heavy. Elsewhere a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, but seeing more showers develop, especially through the afternoon, and those could be heavy and thundery and slow moving. But there is a lot of dry weather around them and temperatures could get up to 22 23 today and that will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. Tonight there will be a few showers around, moving out of Northern Ireland across scotland, and then another system comes in from the atlantic, bringing some more rain into some western areas, accompanied by gusty winds, especially for Northern Ireland and the south west. So its not going to be a cold night tonight. This is why. Weve got low pressure and its attendant fronts coming in from the south west. This is todays front across scotland, moving eastwards. A look at the isobars tells you that its going to be windy in western areas. As this system pushes eastwards through the day, with the cloud are building ahead of it, youll notice the wind picking up elsewhere as well. Behind the rain we see a return to some showers. Again, those could be heavy and thundery but temperatures are still potentially getting up to 23. As we head through friday, our low pressure drifts further north so it is centred right across the uk. We have News/weather-front'>Weather Fronts rotating around it with rain or showers, and you can see there are more isobars on the charts so it is going to be a wetter and windier day for most. The Met Office actually has a yellow Weather Warning out for Northern Ireland, north wales, northern News/england-and-scotland'>England And Scotland because we could see some torrential downpours in a small amount of time, which could lead to some issues with flooding. Temperatures about 16 21.
