Programme. One of the worlds biggest coronavirus vaccination campaigns is underway in india. Prime minister Narendra Modi said such an ambitious project has never been attempted before. The huge inoculation programme aims to reach 300 Million People by august. Healthcare staff and frontline workers will be among the first to receive the doses. Since the pandemic began india has confirmed over 10 million cases. Thats the second highest number in the world. Rajini vaidyanathan reports from delhi. In a nation of well over a billion people, 34 year old hospital cleaner manish kumar became the first to receive a Coronavirus Vaccine. Translation the fear in my mind has gone. Everyone should get the vaccine, as this is how we save oui country. The countrys prime minister, Narendra Modi, used a virtual address to kick off what he described as the Worlds Largest immunisation programme. Front line and Health Care Workers take priority in the initial roll out. At this hospital in delhi, they were given the red carpet, and red roses. Dr puneetjaitley, who has treated countless covid patients, also got the vaccine today. How are you feeling now youve had the vaccine . Im feeling absolutely safe, absolutely fit and absolutely fine. Verijyous, very ecstatic. This is one of around 3,000 Vaccination Centres which have been set up across india. Here and elsewhere, theyre hoping to vaccinate around 100 people a day so if you do the maths, that means that indias aiming to vaccinate more than 300,000 people every day. But as the day drew to a close, the government said it had only reached two thirds of that target. Known as the pharmacy of the world, indias the Global Leader in vaccine manufacturing. The Oxford Astrazeneca jab, produced in the city of pune, is one of two being rolled out. The second, covaxin, developed by an indian company, bharat biotech, is yet to pass its phase three trials which means even though Officials Say its safe, we still dont know how effective it is. Theres been widespread concern its approval was rushed. Junior doctors at a delhi hospital told me they wont be taking it yet. The phase three efficacy data is not out yet for this vaccine, which is being administered here. As doctors, we believe in science, so at this moment, we will not be going for this vaccine. We dont want to be the guinea pigs. Persuading people to take the vaccine is just one challenge in a nation hit hard by covid i9. Here, theyre burning a coronavirus effigy to celebrate the start of the vaccine drive. Its been a dark year for this vibrant nation. Today, indians are hoping theyve turned a corner. Rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, delhi. Here in the uk, the government says airports in england will start getting Financial Support within days. A body representing airports warns theres was only so long its members can run on fumes. This comes after the announcement that quarantine restrictions would apply to everyone entering the uk. Heres our Business Correspondent katy austin. Were being told to stay home now, but last summer, travel corridor helped holidays happen. Now, the system that removes the requirement to quarantine when arriving from a list of places is about to be suspended. Geoff is working in bahrain. Hi, geoff. Hello, how are you . Hes due to fly to britain when his contract ends in a fortnight, but hasnt yet sorted accommodation. The rule change now means hell have to provide authorities with an address to self isolate at. It means that we do need to secure a place to stay before we leave here. The main concern is that with the situation, with the new regulations, if you like, that are in place, its that we will see some flight cancellations. The halt to travel corridors is the latest restriction to be introduced. It means that from monday, people arriving into the uk from anywhere must quarantine for ten days. Or they can take a covid test on the fifth day, pay for it, and if its negative, they can leave quarantine early. The rules do apply to eurostar and sea ports, as well, but not to some jobs, like hauliers, and not to people travelling within the uk and ireland. Also from monday, the requirement kicks in to show a negative covid test within 72 hours of departing to come to the uk. There have been fresh calls for urgent, targeted Additional Support for the aviation and aerospace sectors, which have suffered badly already. The aviation minister accepted it was a difficult time for them, but said support had been available. The most important thing for all of the travel industry is that were able to get people out and about, travelling again safely as soon as possible, and its what were doing with the vaccine, a massive roll out of over 3. 2 millionjabs. Thats what offers the real prospect of better times for the Aviation Industry and the whole of the travel industry. Labour said the government should have acted earlier. Groups representing the travel industry accept the need for rules to tighten, but are asking where things go from here. Were saying to the government that they need to look at all the measures that theyve got in place for travel at the moment and all of those restrictions and to actually come up with a plan to move forward so that when restrictions start to lift, that there is a clear plan in place. For many travel and holiday companies, the light at the end of the tunnel is still looking distant. Katy austin, bbc news. Lets get some of the days other news.

National guard troops have been deployed to washington dc, in case of a repeat of the deadly riot on the 6th of january. Police confirmed a man was arrested with two handguns and 509 rounds of unregistered ammunition, as he tried to pass through a Capitol Police checkpoint. Lets speak now to william bratton, former nypd police commissioner. Thank you so much for coming on the programme. Thank you so much for coming on the programme the programme. Great to be with ou. So, the programme. Great to be with yom 50. Whats the programme. Great to be with you. So, whats your the programme. Great to be with you. So, whats your take the programme. Great to be with you. So, whats your take of you. So, whats your take of the security you. So, whats your take of the security threats you. So, whats your take of the security threats at you. So, whats your take of the security threats at the i the security threats at the moment . I think as evidenced by the preparations under way in washington, dc, our nations capital, and in many of the state capitals around america, they have shown that with intelligence and intelligence analysis, the threat level is very high. I think the prevention capabilities are also, unlike the events of january six, very high. My concern would more beady incidents such as that which just occurred in washington, a lone an individual actor, rather than large scale crowds rather than la rge scale crowds showing rather than large scale crowds showing up, some of these very heavily guarded sites. I showing up, some of these very heavily guarded sites. Heavily guarded sites. I see, and those heavily guarded sites. I see, and those loanable heavily guarded sites. I see, and those loanable factors, l heavily guarded sites. I see, i and those loanable factors, as you say, they are presumably pretty difficult to try to pinpoint, target and stop . Lone wolf. Pinpoint, target and stop . Lone wolf pinpoint, target and stop . Lone wolf. Thats correct. They are really lone wolf. Thats correct. They are really dealing lone wolf. Thats correct. They are really dealing with lone wolf. Thats correct. They are really dealing with three. Are really dealing with three crises at the moment. The coronavirus crisis, the criminal crisis, crime and our major cities is up dramatically, and in some instances has been surpassing 20 or 30 records, and thirdly, we now have a domestic terrorism crisis, the scale of which we are not certain of. So many of them operate beneath the surface. 0ur many of them operate beneath the surface. Our country is not going to be solving that as of january 20, on the inauguration. We anticipate all three of those crises are going to continue for some time after that event. To continue for some time after that event to continue for some time after that event. You mentioned that domestic terrorism that event. You mentioned that domestic terrorism has that event. You mentioned that domestic terrorism has been i domestic terrorism has been operating below the surface, which is of course true. But on the flipside of that, many viewers around the world will be slightly astounded to see those armed militias wandering around, not only in dc but in other parts of the us, openly, hugely armed. That seems like an image of a, well, a hugely armed. That seems like an image ofa, well, a kind hugely armed. That seems like an image of a, well, a kind of mediaeval image, a mediaeval mentality. It must pose a real threat that is actually quite clear and present. Threat that is actually quite clear and present. One of the benefits that clear and present. One of the benefits that you clear and present. One of the benefits that you have clear and present. One of the benefits that you have in clear and present. One of the j benefits that you have in your country which we do not have in the United States is that you tightly controlled gun ownership, possession and display. In my country, there are more guns than people. Many states have what i called open carry laws, where you can carry any type of firearm, anywhere, including interstate capital buildings. Mystical michigan, the capital lansing had an incident a couple of weeks ago where armed militants took over the capitalfor weeks ago where armed militants took over the capital for a period of time, and there was another group wanting to kidnap and possibly killed the governor. So we have in our country, because of the availability of firearms and lacks gun control throughout the country, a real danger that is being posed by these individuals who have the ability to easily acquire, display and use firepower that is in many instances the equivalent of or in excess of what our police and military possess. What our police and military ossess. , what our police and military possess possess. That is really interesting. Possess. That is really interesting. Just possess. That is really | interesting. Just before possess. That is really i interesting. Just before i possess. That is really interesting. Just before i let you go, we have seen the huge number of National Guard troops in washington, dc. The threat is right across the country. Is it in your mind, but actually, probably away from dc, where there is not perhaps the same level of resources, it could be potentially more vulnerable . There are two concerns there, that you are correct, they may be upwards of 20 to 25,000 National Guard soldiers, the largest concentration ever in the history of our country, for a single event, drawn from many other states, so some states have a depleted supply of National Guard, but the problem with the National Guard, however, is that with the exception of their military police proponents, which is only a small part, most of them are not dealt to manage crowds or deal with crowd control. You see them carrying high powered rifles but they are not carrying times, they are not equipped with pepper spray, many of them are not equipped with shields. So that in many respects, in the sense of their sheer numbers, they are a deterrent, but you would hope they are not challenged directly by the mobs, similar to what we saw onjanuary six, to what we saw on january six, because they are really not trained to deal with that type of provocation. Of provocation. That is a really fascinating of provocation. That is a l really fascinating insight. Of provocation. That is a i really fascinating insight. I hadnt actually had that kind of analysis before, so that is really interesting. Im afraid will have to leave it there. Thank you so much for coming on. Ugandas Election Commission has declared the veteran leader, yoweri museveni, to be winner of thursdays president ial election, taking 59 of the vote. Museveni described the election as the most fraud free vote in the countrys history. The much younger main opposition candidate, bobi wine, got 35 of the vote. He says the poll was a sham and that soldiers are preventing him leaving his home. Catherine byaruhanga reports from kampala. Much of downtown kampala was deserted. But some of the president s supporters made it out onto the streets to celebrate his victory. They insist the final result reflects the will of the people. Our country has got to be protected. The economy has got to develop. It has to continue because peace is back again in uganda. It is now another five years in office for yoweri museveni. By the time this term is done, he will have been in power for a0 years. Helped along by changes to the constitution which could allow him to be president for life. There has been an internet shutdown since the eve of the elections, but the Electoral Commission says it has been able to overcome the connectivity issues and collect results from across the country. I think this may turn out to be the most cheating free election since 1962. Some observers question how that is possible. My gardeners came and informed me we were surrounded. Bobi wine, the main opposition candidate, is alleging widespread irregularities and rejects the result. He is yet to provide evidence for his claims. Bobi wine has not left his home since voting day. Soldiers and police are stationed around his property. They say, to ensure his safety. So long as they are in power, they are using guns. When you walk around kampala, every corner, there are guns. Are we in a war . Whom are we fighting with . With this result, bobi wine still finds himself in a relatively strong position. His National Unity platform is expected to be the biggest Opposition Party in parliament. A good result considering that it was only formed a few months ago. He will play a key role in ugandan politics in the coming years. For now, the Opposition Leader says he will challenge the results. He has yet to announce how he will do that. Catherine byaruhanga, bbc news, kampala. Germanys christian democrats have announced the winner of the race to lead Angela Merkel� s party, the cdu. Hes Armin Laschet, widely seen as the heir to mrs merkel� s centrist brand of politics. And hes now in pole position to replace Angela Merkel as chancellor when she stands down later this year.
