and scotland are set to be reviewed in the coming days. here's our political editor, laura kuenssberg. a sofa will still be part of the crowded classroom. for alexa's seven—year—old, four—year—old and her twins. they didn't make much of the prime minister on their curriculum today. it will not be possible to open schools immediately after the february half term. she will still be the teacher until at least the start of march. it is at least the start of march. it is exhausting. _ at least the start of march. it is exhausting, you _ at least the start of march. it is exhausting, you are _ at least the start of march. it 3 exhausting, you are not only being the teacher, but you have to be the lunch lady and clean the toilets, and make sure everything is printed. i don't have a teaching assistant to make sure the work is done right or that the toddlers over they are

with 25,308 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period, a significant drop, when you consider new cases were almost at 70,000 less than three weeks ago. the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week is now 29,900. hospital numbers remain very high. there were more than 37,000 people in hospital with coronavirus in the past 2a hours. and another very high daily death toll, 1,725 deaths were reported, that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—i9 test, the second highest figure so far. on average in the past week, 1,228 deaths were announced every day. the total number of deaths so far across the uk is 101,887. the uk's vaccination programme continues apace. 311,060 people have had theirfirst

dose of one of the three approved covid—19 vaccines in the latest 24—hour period, taking the overall number of people who've had their firstjab to more than 7.1 million. so parents and children in england have almost six more weeks at least of home schooling ahead, with all the problems that brings for both parents, trying tojuggle work and online lessons, and for children stuck at home for months. our education editor branwenjeffreys has been getting reaction to the news. they move the sea creatures inland... only a third of pupils were in today, leaving year 6 spread out in class. their classmates not back for at least a month. we're not really used to having so many people in because of how long it's really been like this. i'm looking forward to having everyone back in school - because i miss all my friends and at least i've got- some of my friends here. everyone will definitely be happier because working from home is a lot

harder than working in school, which i do know because last week i think i worked from home for two days. to help kids catch up, a promise today of more money. but for those running schools, some questions are more urgent. two weeks' warning isn't long to plan for reopening. is it going to be a staggered return? similar to what they expected us to do in september? are we expecting certain year groups to come in? are we starting from day one with everybody in? we need to know those kinds of things. so when will classrooms fill again? well, march 8th is a tentative date, an ambition. so much depends on the pressures on the nhs, the infection rates, the vaccination programme. all that is certain for parents and for children is they're going to have to manage at home for a good few more weeks. the biggest education union said

the prime minister couldn't guarantee school return in early march. at the moment over a million people in the uk are infected with covid and he can't know what the death rate will be, so i think this is premature and i think it will give parents and children some false hope, and that's the last thing that they need. schools will be the first to open, says the government. no one, including parents, thinks these decisions are easy. i am quite lucky because i am a key worker, the girls are at school, but i think, for the kids' mental health, it is very important for them to be at school. i understand the prime minister has a lot of pressure. i would hate to be in his position to make that decision. it's difficult for the government but, again, like i said, - there isjust no light at the end of the tunnel, and we should . be a lot further down - the road now than we are. i've got some really close friends that are at home with three children of three different ages, and it's not doing very much for their mental

health, to be honest. families and schools will have to go on coping, with the promise of a plan by late february. branwen jeffreys, bbc news, warrington. let's speak now to paul hunter, professor of medicine at the university of east anglia. always really good to get your thoughts on what is happening. hello. when it comes to schools, we are talking about the 8th of march as possibly the earliest that we are going to hear children, potentially, lots of caveats on this, potentially going back. do you reckon that is feasible or is that potentially too soon? t feasible or is that potentially too soon? ~ .�*, feasible or is that potentially too soon? ~' ., �*, .,, , feasible or is that potentially too soon? ~ �*y soon? i think that's feasible. by then, if soon? i think that's feasible. by then. if the _ soon? i think that's feasible. by then, if the vaccine _ soon? i think that's feasible. by then, if the vaccine programme| soon? i think that's feasible. by - then, if the vaccine programme goes well, and goes according to what has been suggested today, then most of our most vulnerable people will have had their at least one shot of the

vaccine, at least two or three weeks before then, so the people who would before then, so the people who would be most at risk if the epidemic started to surge again will have that degree of protection, so hopefully we won't see the large numbers of hospitalisations and deaths that we would be seeing at the moment. bud deaths that we would be seeing at the moment-— deaths that we would be seeing at the moment. �* .., , ., the moment. and when it comes to the hi . h the moment. and when it comes to the high number — the moment. and when it comes to the high number of — the moment. and when it comes to the high number of deaths, _ the moment. and when it comes to the high number of deaths, we _ the moment. and when it comes to the high number of deaths, we have - the moment. and when it comes to the high number of deaths, we have had i high number of deaths, we have had again a very worrying high figure, the second highest figure so far, 1725 deaths. just talk us through this growth, this increase in numbers. this growth, this increase in numbers— this growth, this increase in numbers. ., ., this growth, this increase in numbers. ., , ., ., ., numbers. yeah, it is, although today was a very high _ numbers. yeah, it is, although today was a very high figure, _ numbers. yeah, it is, although today was a very high figure, typically i was a very high figure, typically tuesdays are the worst day of the week for figures, and tuesdays are the worst day of the week forfigures, and it is tuesdays are the worst day of the week for figures, and it is actually down on the previous week, so in general the death rate does start to be starting to decrease as well. we have certainly seen dramatic drops in case numbers, hospitalisations,

new hospitalisations are declining quite rapidly now, and i think we're going to see the death rate starting to decline as well. it has certainly plateaued and are starting to dip at last so hopefully we are past the worst but it is still quite some time to go before we are actually out of the problem is that we are in at the moment. 50 t out of the problem is that we are in at the moment.— at the moment. so i think it is worth looking _ at the moment. so i think it is worth looking at _ at the moment. so i think it is worth looking at those - at the moment. so i think it is worth looking at those case i at the moment. so i think it is - worth looking at those case numbers, the new case numbers, because as you say, they have dropped. three weeks ago they were almost at 70,000, today we're talking aboutjust over 25,000. what is your thinking about backdrop, is it the lockdown measures?— backdrop, is it the lockdown measures? �*, , measures? bacca it's interesting, across the — measures? bacca it's interesting, across the country _ measures? bacca it's interesting, across the country the _ measures? bacca it's interesting, across the country the case i measures? bacca it's interesting, i across the country the case numbers peaked probably around the first, second, 3rd ofjanuary, before the lockdown actually happened, and i think what we can see is that most

parts of the country where in tier 4, or many parts of the country where in tier 4, but also the schools were closed, and i think that was the thing that made the difference, and so even before we start of the lockdown, which was essentially like it was in november but with the school is closed, case numbers were beginning to fall. so i think at the start of lockdown we were all quite nervous because the epidemic, particularly the new variant, was a bitterly increasing during the november lockdown, but i think the schools being closed during the christmas break and now during the christmas break and now during the christmas break and now during the lockdown has been the thing that was actually that bit that was enough to turn the tide and lead to this fairly impressive declines over the last two weeks. 50 declines over the last two weeks. so can you explain to us, with this new

variant, and the impact it has on children, because of course with the original strain, we were discussing how it wasn't as impactful for children, but with this one is it as dangerous, and therefore by schools being closed, that is helpful, looking at the figures? t being closed, that is helpful, looking at the figures? i think schools aren't _ looking at the figures? i think schools aren't being - looking at the figures? i think schools aren't being closed i looking at the figures? i think schools aren't being closed to protect children. schools are being closed so that the disease and the rest of the community isn't spreading as quickly, and so in many ways schools are being closed to protect the vulnerable, the elderly. we do know that this new variant is more infectious, there is some suggestion it is a bit more deadly. there have been a few more cases in children as far as we can tell with the new variant demos over the old variant, but still it is extremely

unusualfor variant, but still it is extremely unusual for children to get severe disease with covid, and it's almost unheard of in very young children. but secondary schools in particular do seem to be associated, when they are open, the disease does seem to spread more rapidly in the community, and we saw in november it was actually the ten to 14—year—olds where we were seeing the fairly sustained day on day increases in numbers, which in retrospect we now know was due to the variant, although we didn't know that at the time in november. just although we didn't know that at the time in november.— although we didn't know that at the time in november. just moving away from schools — time in november. just moving away from schools and _ time in november. just moving away from schools and education, - time in november. just moving away from schools and education, when i time in november. just moving away from schools and education, when it| from schools and education, when it comes to travel, we have been discussing a lot about how to travellers, they are not going on holiday, and this idea that people are having to lockdown in hotels at their own expense. talk us through your thoughts on that and whether thatis your thoughts on that and whether that is something that will help with the stopping of transmission of this? ., ,., .., ., ,

with the stopping of transmission of this? ., ., , .,, this? yeah, border controls has alwa s this? yeah, border controls has always been — this? yeah, border controls has always been one _ this? yeah, border controls has always been one of _ this? yeah, border controls has always been one of the - this? yeah, border controls has always been one of the most i this? yeah, border controls has i always been one of the most debated issues about controlling notjust covid but any pandemic, and the evidence is that border controls don't really stop the spread of infectious disease globally. what they do do is slow them down. so a year ago when we had no vaccine, border control probably wouldn't have had much effect. particularly as when you look at the origins of most of the uk cases, were france, italy and spain, and so it would have been very difficult at that time to impose border controls. now, because we are rolling out the vaccine, there is some benefit in actually trying to delay new introductions, and we not trying to control our borders to protect us from the variance we have got at the

moment. the anxiety as new variants that are coming around that could be even more infectious, or could have even more infectious, or could have even more infectious, or could have even more resistance to the vaccines that we've got at the moment. and that's the anxiety. so if we can actually suppress this for at least actually suppress this for at least a few weeks, then that will give us at least that bit of extra time but personally i don't see that these would be long—term interventions. i don't think there is any great benefit to rolling them out for too much longer than the next month or so because hopefully by then most of our vulnerable people have had their first vaccinations.— first vaccinations. let's hope so. perha -s first vaccinations. let's hope so. perhaps a _ first vaccinations. let's hope so. perhaps a hunter, _ first vaccinations. let's hope so. perhaps a hunter, which - first vaccinations. let's hope so. perhaps a hunter, which will i first vaccinations. let's hope so. l perhaps a hunter, which will begin to get your clarity and calmness on this. thank you forjoining us. mr; this. thank you forjoining us. mr pleasure. this. thank you for “oining us. my pleasure. schools, i this. thank you forjoining us. my pleasure. schools, lockdown, i this. thank you forjoining us. myi pleasure. schools, lockdown, the quarantine. _ pleasure. schools, lockdown, the quarantine, the _ pleasure. schools, lockdown, the quarantine, the vaccines - pleasure. schools, lockdown, the quarantine, the vaccines row, i quarantine, the vaccines row, clearly lots going on and we will

have a look at the papers. the papers — our guests joining me tonight are political strategistjo tanner, and polly mackenzie, chief executive of think tank demos. meanwhile, the european union is demanding that the coronavirus vaccine manufacturer astrazeneca ensures it provides enough doses from the company's two british production sites for the firm to meet its contract to deliver its vaccine across europe. it follows a row between the eu and the drugs company over the speed with which vaccines are being supplied — and as our europe correspondent nick beake explains — the row is getting more stormy. certainly, what was simmering yesterday has now exploded into a very public row. and at the heart of it, the eu believes that the makers of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine are favouring the uk over european nations. astrazeneca says it is keeping its side of the deal, and points out that the eu signed its contract three months after the uk did. but still, a senior european commission figure has said today the idea of first—come

first—served is all well and good if you're popping down to the local butchers, but when it comes to signing a contract, which they did do for a vaccine which is life—saving in the millions, that's a completely different matter. now, as a result of this, there has been some speculation that some vaccines made in the eu destined for other countries, including the uk, may be blocked or restricted in some way. the eu is downplaying that idea tonight. so with this falling—out potentially becoming a legal mess — we are going to talk to the commercial barrister and commentatorjeremy brier a bit later this hour — to try and shed some light over what is going on. i touched on the quarantine issue with professor paul hunter, anyone arriving in the uk from coronavirus hot spots like southern africa, portugal and much of south america will have to quaratine in hotels for ten days. the move is to try to protect the uk from coronavirus variants.

the home secretary also said it was illegal to leave the country for a holiday and people will now have to explain why they are travelling abroad. our transport correspondent caroline davies has this report. the uk's borders are not closed. this was heathrow airport last friday. travellers are still permitted for some reasons, like essential work, education and medical treatment. after weeks of increasing travel restrictions, the government has announced it will introduce quarantining in hotels for some. we will introduce a new managed isolation process in hotels for those who cannot be refused entry, including those arriving home from countries where we have already imposed international travel bans. they will be required to isolate for ten days without exception. the policy will include those travelling from high—risk countries including portugal, all of south america and many countries in africa. existing restrictions mean that only uk and irish nationals and those with residency in the uk can travel

from those countries at the moment. they will be taken directly from the airport to government—provided accommodation and quarantine will last ten days. it's not certain if the passenger will have to pay for it. scotland and wales have already said they follow it but they want the government to go further. while the scottish government will initially emulate the uk government's steps on enhancing quarantine arrangements, we will be seeking urgently to persuade them to go much further, and indeed to move to a comprehensive system of supervised quarantine. the home secretary also announced that anyone leaving the uk in the future will need to provide a declaration of the reason they're travelling. introducing hotel quarantine is a logistical challenge. thousands of people are still coming into the country every day, and airport hotels like this one imagine they will be some of the first to offer quarantine measures, but they still have plenty of questions for the government about how it will work.

arora hotels have thousands of rooms next to major uk airports. we've looked at the guidance in new zealand, australia and hong kong and they have different nuances on what is required and different levels of government involvement, so really we need to get the detail. in terms of availability of rooms, we have them straightaway. for those still in the countries on the list, the announcement is worrying. carolina went to visit her family in brazil in november, and she's worried about getting home. i wouldn't be able to afford staying in a hotel for ten days — it would be too much. so i'm still very lost. there's no date from the government on when this policy will come in or how long it could last, leaving the travel industry and potential travellers wondering about the summer and weighing up the cost of being shut in a hotel room. caroline davies, bbc news. landmarks in bradford have been lit up by candles as the district's official coronavirus death toll passed 1,000. city hall's flag was lowered to half—mast, with 1,001 electric candles placed on the front steps to mark each death since

the start of the pandemic. hospitals also took part yesterday by lighting up entrances, with the uk figure passing 100,000 deaths. with me is karen dawber, chief nurse at bradford royal infirmary. also i'm joined by noreen khan, founder and director of neesie, a platform for single mothers. she has established the �*covid lead— leadership programme', which aims to prevent misinformation regarding covid—19. thank you both forjoining us this evening. caroline, just explain to us, compared to other places of an equivalent size, why are the figure so high for bradford? what's your assessment?— so high for bradford? what's your assessment? thank you and good evenina. assessment? thank you and good evening- so _ assessment? thank you and good evening. so remember— assessment? thank you and good evening. so remember there's i assessment? thank you and good i evening. so remember there's about 500,000 people that live in bradford, and so passing 1000 deaths will take a huge toll on the city,

because each of those thousand people have got loved ones, friends, family, and will have impacted on lots of people. so when we look at bradford as a whole, we've got a rich heritage of an industrial city with a proud past, but also a really bright future. we are a city of research, we are a city of huge diversity, but with that brings some problems as well. so people in bradford are more than likely to suffer from asthma or diabetes or cardiovascular disease, one and a half times more than the average that we would expect. more people in bradford smoke, and with that comes a toll on people's ability to breathe, and how their lungs function, and we know that covid impacts on the lungs primarily. the other thing that's really important is that round about 60% of adult working age people in bradford are in front facing roles, whether that

be hospitality, taxi drivers, bus drivers, health and social care, so they haven't been working from home and haven't had the luxury of working from home, so they've had more exposure to disease than other people as well. we also know that the air quality in bradford is less then we would want, and people in bradford are often what we call physically de—conditioned, so people don't always have the luxury of gym memberships, attending gyms, and we have the higher the national average body mass index as a population within bradford, and all of that will impact on our ability to fight what is this dreadful disease. karen, i have to say that while you were speaking and just describing the situation in bradford, noreen had been nodding her head. i am assuming then noreen that a lot of what karen was saying is what you have seen on the ground. just talk

grim landmark for bradford. we are hearing hope in what you are doing so thank you forjoining us. well, as we've been reporting, it's holocaust memorial day, and 76 years since the liberation of the auschwitz—birkenau death camp, and at a time when survivors are unable to come together due to lockdown, this year's theme asks people to "be the light in the darkness". fergal keane reports. auschwitz today. no rituals of remembrance in the time of the pandemic. violin plays. but for the survivors, a dwindling generation, commemoration is taking place in small groups. here, at a london retirement home run by the charityjewish care. behold, god of abraham, god of mercy. open your eyes, as you have opened mine. open your eyes and see

what i've seen. singing. memory does not live within the boundaries of a single day. my father, who was not a religious man, he took me by the hands — i'll neverforget this, what he said to me. "god will protect you." so then i kissed my brother and they were already there with their bayonets trying to push us apart, and i saw them leaving. and you never saw your brother again? that was it. yeah. holocaust memorial day remembers the dead, but it's also a warning for all times about the price of extremism, the bloody cost of promises built on hatred.

after auschwitz, when we came back, people said, "we've learned our lesson. never again, auschwitz." that was the motto. but look around. i think there is more discrimination, more hatred than ever before. this is a day of great absences. it took me 50 years, 5—0. i kept on and on, "i want to see a photograph of my mother." i don't know what emotions i have, really. sad. especially on days like holocaust memorial day, when families are together, and i sit there alone. genocide begins with the plans of powerful men.

but always ends in the ruin of individual lives. millions upon millions of them. fergal keane, bbc news. let's have another look at the live event we showed at 8pm when people across the country lit candles to mark holocaust memorial day. this is downing street where the prime minister lit a candle and also olivia marks—woldman lit a candle to mark this event. olivia marks—woldman is the chief executive of the holocaust memorial day trust and she joins us live. you've worked tirelessly to make today happen, given the difficulties with the lockdown and coronavirus, the images we saw, people getting involved, coming together, what are

your first reflections? tt’s involved, coming together, what are your first reflections?— your first reflections? it's so uliftin: your first reflections? it's so uplifting to _ your first reflections? it's so uplifting to see _ your first reflections? it's so uplifting to see so _ your first reflections? it's so uplifting to see so many i your first reflections? it's so i uplifting to see so many people, thousands and thousands of people across the country, wanting to stand in solidarity with the memory of the people who were murdered, 6 million murdered in the holocaust and standing in solidarity with the memory of those people who have been murdered in genocide since and also anybody facing identity —based persecution and prejudice today. holocaust memorial day is a very sombre and grave day but it's also uplifting to see how many people want to be in solidarity, reject the ideology. that is very uplifting. it was wonderful to see those candles glowing in peoples windows, the light spilling out into the streets.

it was wonderful to see that. one of the aspects i find incredible and humbling is the fact survivors want to tell their stories and how important it is for them to keep the memories alive. six years ago when i was at the 70th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz—birkenau and i met some of those survivors, it is incredible they can talk about something that is unimaginable. lstallion something that is unimaginable. when we hearthem. — something that is unimaginable. when we hear them, it _ something that is unimaginable. when we hear them, it is _ something that is unimaginable. when we hear them, it is such _ something that is unimaginable. when we hear them, it is such a _ something that is unimaginable. ixng2�*t we hear them, it is such a privilege and responsibility. it is said that whoever he is a witness becomes a witness. —— who ever hears a witness. —— who ever hears a witness. not all survivors are able to share their experiences with other people. we are very privileged when we listen to those who feel able to and for many it is very traumatic to relive those days, those weeks, those months, those years of absolute horror,

unimaginable trauma. they do so for a purpose. they do so so that we can learn from it and become their witnesses. forthose learn from it and become their witnesses. for those of you able to join us for the uk ceremony earlier this evening, you will have heard from survivors but any viewers and listeners now can go to our website and watch the ceremony which is up on the website, hmd.org. he and watch the ceremony which is up on the website, hmd.org.— and watch the ceremony which is up on the website, hmd.org. he had high rofile on the website, hmd.org. he had high profile support. _ on the website, hmd.org. he had high profile support, how— on the website, hmd.org. he had high profile support, how important - on the website, hmd.org. he had high profile support, how important is i on the website, hmd.org. he had high profile support, how important is it i profile support, how important is it for people in the public eye to support you, like those candles. took us through some of those people telling your message.— telling your message. holocaust memorial day — telling your message. holocaust memorial day is _ telling your message. holocaust memorial day is for _ telling your message. holocaust memorial day is for everybody, | memorial day is for everybody, regardless of faith, ethnicity and age. that universal importance is reflected by the people who market. we were so grateful to the prime

minister, the leader of the opposition, the archbishop of canterbury, the chief rabbi, leaders of all faith communities and of course the first ministers of scotland, wales and northern ireland. these political and faith leaders show that today is the everybody and of course the patron of the trust is his highness the prince of wales. his message in the uk ceremony was so thoughtful and powerful and inspiring. to have that recognition at the highest level shows the significance of holocaust memorial day. shows the significance of holocaust memorial dalt-— shows the significance of holocaust memorial da. ., . ., ., memorial day. olivia marks-woldman, thank ou memorial day. olivia marks-woldman, thank you so — memorial day. olivia marks-woldman, thank you so much _ memorial day. olivia marks-woldman, thank you so much for— memorial day. olivia marks-woldman, thank you so much for speaking - memorial day. olivia marks-woldman, thank you so much for speaking to i thank you so much for speaking to us.

not everyone who needs it is getting the financial help they need during the pandemic. millions of taxpayers are unable to access assistance schemes. and the institute for fiscal studies — working with the bbc — has concluded there is "clear unfairness" in some of the exclusions. andy verity reports. we've had emotional days. my mental health has gone really low. to amanda richardson, who runs leicestershire—based family business bringing animals to birthday parties, care homes and schools, the chancellor's words ten months ago haven't improved true. you have not been forgotten. her limited company was set to make £100,000 in 2020, enough to license and feed her animals and pay an income through dividends to support her family. government rules stopped her earning a living and government rules also mean she won't get money to replace those dividends and she can't afford the rent. if we had to close, then most of these animals will be on a death sentence, we'd have to euthanise them. it would break me seeing the animals go.

that would be my breaking point. there are clear unfairnesses here. just over half your income if you're self—employed and you get nothing, if it's under you get the maximum amount. that's clearly not fair. if your income goes down from £55,000 to nothing, through no fault of your own, you are in big trouble. in sheffield, dave moran says his wedding music business has lost bookings worth £250,000. because he's still working to save the business, he can't access the furlough scheme. stress levels have been through the roof and obviously seeing the disparity between ourselves and other peers and people in similar businesses that have received some support, furlough or the self—employed income support scheme, it's been very difficult to be the one on the sidelines that's still waiting desperately for some kind of support from the government. research by the institute for fiscal studies for the bbc shows you could include those who earn less than half their income from self—employment at a cost of less than £800 million over three months.

and you could include those who earn more than £50,000 at a cost of £1.3 billion or less, if you reduce support for high earners. that's £2.1 billion at the most, compared to the amount the government's already planning to spend on furlough and self—employed schemes of £90 billion. the prime minister was challenged in parliament today on why so many were excluded from support. there are some people in the self—employed groups who it has been hard to reach and support in the way that we want. they are fewer in number than is sometimes suggested, mr speaker, in this house. i can tell you that 2.7 million self—employed have received support, totally over £18.5 billion. but dave is now among many forced to take low—paid work to make ends meet — if they can find it. andy verity, bbc news. schools in england will not be able to reopen to all pupils after the february half term. the prime minister said the earliest

they could do so was from the eighth of march but a final decision would depend on meeting vaccination targets. borisjohnson also said there was not yet enough data to decide when to end the lockdown, adding that the uk remained in a "perilous situation". let's speak now to lynn knapp — headteacher of windmill primary school. very good to speak to you. what is your assessment? very good to speak to you. what is yourassessment? is very good to speak to you. what is your assessment? is the 8th of march something that you're hyping schools will start to open up a bit more? schools are open for the children of key workers, we must stress. obviously we want the children back. having school open, having children learning with a teacher is the best way to have our school running. but i'm also concerned that we don't rush into it too fast. it would be even worse to have children return and then potentially go off again

unto another lockdown. yes, i want our children back but i appreciate the prime minister is level of caution in organising when that date will actually be. haifa caution in organising when that date will actually be.— will actually be. how confident are ou when will actually be. how confident are you when it _ will actually be. how confident are you when it comes _ will actually be. how confident are you when it comes to _ will actually be. how confident are i you when it comes to transmission? we know that children are potentially less susceptible, although this new variant has complicated things. how confident are you that your staff are safe, the transmission within the school community would be under control? that's the big decision. it's not about the children. we are off until children are safe in school but we are in a big school with 630 children, a staff of 90 which brings 600 parents. when we open school we have to take it into account that the community that we serve actually

does put greater risk on staff and children working in the school. i think it's about making sure we get that right. before we go ahead and open schools to the whole community. when it comes to the work you're doing, primary schoolchildren really miss their friends and theyjust want to see not necessarily even a desperate need to have a construct because teachers are providing fantastic work for them but the need for having people of their own nature around them.— for having people of their own nature around them. that's what they miss the most- _ nature around them. that's what they miss the most. when _ nature around them. that's what they miss the most. when we _ nature around them. that's what they miss the most. when we reopen i nature around them. that's what they miss the most. when we reopen in i miss the most. when we reopen in september, that's what children kept saying is that they had missed their friends. yes, they can learn a home and interact online but it's not the same as being in a classroom with their peer group, interacting with

their peer group, interacting with the teacher under the children and that can't be replicated online, unfortunately. for me that is... we need to move back towards what is normal because the children for their mental health need that but we need to do it in a way that is safe for everybody. for need to do it in a way that is safe for everybody-— for everybody. for any parents tearin: for everybody. for any parents tearing their _ for everybody. for any parents tearing their hair— for everybody. for any parents tearing their hair out _ for everybody. for any parents tearing their hair out and i for everybody. for any parents tearing their hair out and just l for everybody. for any parents i tearing their hair out and just not coping, what advice would you give? i'm asking for a friend, obviously! we want parents who are struggling to let us know because we can help sort out the problems they've got. they shouldn't be struggling alone. we are still a community, we have support systems in place. all of our families need to feel that they remain part of the community even though we aren't coming together on a daily basis. please come to us and ask for help. a daily basis. please come to us and ask for help-— ask for help. that's really good advice, thank _ ask for help. that's really good advice, thank you _ ask for help. that's really good advice, thank you so _ ask for help. that's really good advice, thank you so much i ask for help. that's really good advice, thank you so much and| ask for help. that's really good i advice, thank you so much and best of luck to all your staff.

more now on the growing row over vaccines. and the pharmaceutical company, astrazeneca, has rejected criticism from the european union over delays in the supply of its coronavirus vaccine to countries in the bloc. the firm's chief executive, pascal soriot, denied that vaccines were being taken away from the eu to be sold for a profit elsewhere. it looks like this issue could become a serious legal wrangle, so let's now turn to a lawyer — jeremy brier is a commercial barrister. where are we in terms of legalities as to the situation for astrazeneca? the truth is that we are seeing this big legal debate across the airwaves between the eu and astrazeneca, but no one has actually seen the contracts. they are no doubt predicted by confidentiality clauses which both parties would have to wave —— protected. the eu has signed what it says is an advanced purchase

order for hundreds of millions of doses but it has been informed by astrazeneca that there are glitches in the supply chain, effectively from two out of the four manufacturing plants. those are the plants in the eu, in belgium and the netherlands. the other two are in the uk. the eu are very worried because they say that their supply is going to be low, 31 million rather than hundreds of million projected for the first quarter. astrazeneca say that if you look at the contract we agreed with you, the eu, festival it's only what we call a best efforts contract, we do our best but there is no absolute obligation to supply a certain number. secondly, the eu hasn't even authorised the vaccine yet, they've been so slow in getting that ducks in a row in terms of ordering but the same sort of glitch occurred

with the uk supply chain but because they ordered earlier, things were smoothed out in time. there is a natural delay and they say this is what this is all about. you natural delay and they say this is what this is all about.— what this is all about. you can understand — what this is all about. you can understand why _ what this is all about. you can understand why the _ what this is all about. you can understand why the eu - what this is all about. you can understand why the eu also i what this is all about. you can - understand why the eu also concerned and when they say they signed those contracts earlier, they still need the vaccines as and when they approve them to arrive within the eu. , ., �* , ., approve them to arrive within the eu. _, a ., ., ., eu. they do. it's a matter of huge olitical eu. they do. it's a matter of huge political concern _ eu. they do. it's a matter of huge political concern and _ eu. they do. it's a matter of huge political concern and health i eu. they do. it's a matter of huge i political concern and health concern to the eu. of course, they said today that its not all about first come first serve. of course, they are right to an extent but actually it's all about what the contracts provide and what the obligations are. if the uk has agreed a specific number of vaccines to be delivered in a specific time period, and it has done that and had the benefit of being the first party to contract

with astrazeneca, then it may be that the uk has got favourable contractual terms and it has benefited from being first. and actually the eu has a reasonable endeavours clause on the part of astrazeneca such that it is not in such a tight contractual mechanism. but speculation, because we don't need the true nature of the contracts, this isjust what need the true nature of the contracts, this is just what has been said, but putting the pieces of the jigsaw together, i think the uk are probably very pleased this evening that they didn't take part in the eu vaccine scheme that they were invited to join at the end of last year. mr; were invited to 'oin at the end of last ear. g ,, �*, last year. my goodness, it's certainly — last year. my goodness, it's certainly one _ last year. my goodness, it's certainly one for— last year. my goodness, it's certainly one for the - last year. my goodness, it's. certainly one for the lawyers. last year. my goodness, it's - certainly one for the lawyers. thank you. the chelsea flower show has been postponed for the first time in its history and will now take place in september. it was cancelled
