hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment with tony grew and caroline frost — first the headlines. the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine offers limited protection against mild disease caused by the south african variant of covid—19 — but scientists say it will still help to beat the pandemic. we may not be reducing the total number of cases, but there's still protection, in that case, against deaths, hospitalisations and severe disease.

12 million people in the uk have now received a first dose of the coronavirus vaccine — but the government says it has no plans to introduce �*vaccine passports�*. of course, you have the evidence that you have been vaccinated held by your gp. and if other countries require you to show proof of that evidence, then that is obviously up to those countries. a himalayan glacier collapses sending a wall of water and rock down river in northern india. at least nine people have died and officials say up to 200 people are unaccounted for. the protests against the military coup in myanmar have become the largest for more than a decade.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the parliamentaryjournalist, tony grew and the journalist and broadcaster caroline frost. tomorrow's front pages starting with... the metro reports on the covid—19 immunisation programme — saying vaccinations are reaching the rate of 1000 jabs a minute. the i newspaper also leads on vaccinations — reporting that newjabs are on the way to beat new coronavirus variants. the ft front page carries an image of a demonstrator in myanmar, saying that thousands took to the streets in protest against the military coup. and the daily mirror has an interview with a survivor of the dunblane massacre — who is expecting a baby — due on the 25th anniversary of the killings. so let's begin... 1000 jobs in the neck of 12 million. it's a heck of an achievement in such a short period of time. yes it is, it's a

such a short period of time. yes it is. it's a good _ such a short period of time. yes it is, it's a good news _ such a short period of time. yes it is, it's a good news story - such a short period of time. yes it is, it's a good news story and - such a short period of time. yes it is, it's a good news story and i'ml is, it's a good news story and i'm critical of the government response of aspects, but they seem to got this one right. a specific minister coming up from the health department, is responsible for deploying and delivering this programme. i also think the government is being cautious at the minute so unlike the prime minister who tends to over promise and under deliver, the ministers are saying we hope to get this done by may. it's a really good news story anyway you look at it. it really good news story anyway you look at it. , ., look at it. it will understand when --eole look at it. it will understand when peeple turn _ look at it. it will understand when peeple turn up — look at it. it will understand when people turn up they _ look at it. it will understand when people turn up they are _ look at it. it will understand when people turn up they are incredibly impressed by how these vaccination centres operate, and let people cannot start waiting and they cannot? its cannot start waiting and they cannot? , , .. .,,, cannot? its unity right across the count , cannot? its unity right across the country, thousands _ cannot? its unity right across the country, thousands of _ cannot? its unity right across the country, thousands of volunteers 'ust country, thousands of volunteers just guiding people and learning huge _ just guiding people and learning huge amounts of information in a

vaccine does is stopping people becoming through the ill still happen. i think is very important that they understand it's not a mutation or a variant. the amount of work, into developing these vaccines and money spent will continue. i'm very hopeful and i think people should be as well. litters? very hopeful and i think people should be as well.— very hopeful and i think people should be as well. new 'abs on the wa to should be as well. new 'abs on the way to beat — should be as well. new 'abs on the way to beat the h should be as well. newjabs on the way to beat the variance, - should be as well. newjabs on the way to beat the variance, they've l way to beat the variance, they've broken the back of funding the vaccine in the first place. various immunologists we are speaking to constantly hear on bbc news say we've got these kernel of these ideas and cannot tweak the formula. a technical term that they have used in laboratories. i a technical term that they have used in laboratories.— in laboratories. i cannot speak hithl in laboratories. i cannot speak highly enough _ in laboratories. i cannot speak highly enough of— in laboratories. i cannot speak highly enough of the - in laboratories. i cannot speak| highly enough of the scientists involved. in early takes years for

vaccines but scientists across the world have been working at top speed and have succeeded in doing so. like i said, i think that this is the real thing. i said, i think that this is the realthing. britain i said, i think that this is the real thing. britain has the highest number of people in the world that will take the vaccine. a lot of skepticism in countries like france, and that's truly depressing which means there road map that they will take out of the virus is going to be unclear and struggling with problems with this virus for much longer than the uk is, if indeed the people say they are happy to take the job. the they are happy to take the 'ob. the other they are happy to take the job. the other thing to note is that a lot of workplaces are now going to have access to rapid tests.— access to rapid tests. yes, those are the numbers _ access to rapid tests. yes, those are the numbers to _ access to rapid tests. yes, those are the numbers to get - access to rapid tests. yes, those are the numbers to get free - access to rapid tests. yes, those | are the numbers to get free tests have _ are the numbers to get free tests have iteen— are the numbers to get free tests have been changed. what was the 250 threshold _ have been changed. what was the 250 threshold for workforce numbers has now iteen— threshold for workforce numbers has now been reduced to 50. it's clear that the _ now been reduced to 50. it's clear that the government message is that if you _ that the government message is that if you do— that the government message is that if you do need to go to work when doing _ if you do need to go to work when

we are in lockdown. any news that there's a fall in the number of infections and deaths is really good news but we still have to keep going as far as i'm concerned, with the lockdown in terms of those numbers until they are much lower than they are now and we have a vaccine and we also don't have rapid testing for people in their workplace. i can see a solution in the summer we managed to take a test before you get on a plane to get out the country but those three measures working together should help to really get this virus under control. let’s together should help to really get this virus under control. let's stay with the telegraph _ this virus under control. let's stay with the telegraph because - this virus under control. let's stay with the telegraph because it - this virus under control. let's stay with the telegraph because it says that gcse students in years ten and 11 of the worst affected, a big study looking at the impacts of the lockdown. , , ., , lockdown. yes, it usually contentious _ lockdown. yes, it usually contentious political - lockdown. yes, it usually| contentious political issue lockdown. yes, it usually i contentious political issue a lockdown. yes, it usually - contentious political issue a lot of hate coming from conservative tech ventures, some of them and not all of them, but insisting that schools should be going back this month.

coming back to this issue where schools are not closed because they are dangerous, they are closed because the virus was surging and we needed to protect the nhs. i think kids need to get back into school as soon as possible. cannot imagine how difficult and depressing and horrible it must be to be 16 years old and spent all of your time in your house, not allowed to see your friends, and don't even have the structure of school in your life. it's not a surprise to me that so many of them are suffering from anxiety, isjust one many of them are suffering from anxiety, is just one of the really unfortunate things that has come about because of this lockdown. been going on for kids for almost a year now if you missed school for a couple of weeks it affects her academic future. the fact that kids have been missing school for months and trying to learn through zoom, none of this is ideal. vaccinating teachers might be an appropriate

thing to do but in some senses we will be back to normal because it's really hard on kids. iterate will be back to normal because it's really hard on kids.— really hard on kids. we forget as well that 15 _ really hard on kids. we forget as well that 15 and _ really hard on kids. we forget as well that 15 and 16-year-olds - really hard on kids. we forget as| well that 15 and 16-year-olds still well that 15 and 16—year—olds still do need a lot of guidance for their studies, and a lot of times are being left to their own devices. working at home hopefully with access to online lessons. right, there's been — access to online lessons. right, there's been disparities - access to online lessons. right, there's been disparities since i access to online lessons. right, | there's been disparities since the very first — there's been disparities since the very first month of this where children— very first month of this where children had access and some did not. children had access and some did not the — children had access and some did not. the economic gaps were very much _ not. the economic gaps were very much widened during this period. which _ much widened during this period. which the — much widened during this period. which the government had been at pains _ which the government had been at pains to— which the government had been at pains to address. this is just which the government had been at pains to address. this isjust going on and _ pains to address. this isjust going on and on — pains to address. this isjust going on and on. an unthinkable thing a week— on and on. an unthinkable thing a week to _ on and on. an unthinkable thing a week to catt— on and on. an unthinkable thing a week to call for granted growing up that we _ week to call for granted growing up that we could go to school and mix their friends and their lessons and complain — their friends and their lessons and complain about it and go home again. all that _ complain about it and go home again. all that has _ complain about it and go home again. all that hasjust been thrown in the air and _ all that hasjust been thrown in the air and his — all that hasjust been thrown in the air and his attorney has said is not about— air and his attorney has said is not about this — air and his attorney has said is not about this year it's about the knock on effect~ _ about this year it's about the knock on effect. struck by how to address it, on effect. struck by how to address it. and _ on effect. struck by how to address it. and i_ on effect. struck by how to address it, and i think everybody is agreed

welcome to click — hope you are doing 0k. you probably don't want to hear this, but we are now almost coming up on a year of video calls, zoom meetings, and teams chats. in that respect, at least, i think the world has adapted quite well. unsurprisingly, a lot of innovators have leapt to the chance to invent a whole range of video call accessories. and my good friend lara lewington is wearing one now. can you spot it? what could possibly be? these are the periphery smart earrings.

not only do they help you get your top half dressed up for a video call, but they also provide sound directly into your ear from behind the earring, and there is a microphone just here, as well. it means you can make phone calls or video calls and communicate through these. i'm no expert — i would say they are a little on the big side, but they do match your frock. almost, and they come in different designs. but, as you say, they are chunky and could do with being made smaller. the idea is not bad. and talking about not—bad ideas, how about this? what's that? this went viral a month or two ago. it turns out one of the most awkward parts of a video meeting is trying to leave it. i don't know if you have been there, but everybody waves, and with their other hand they hit the leave meeting button, then it turns out that you haven't left the meeting, and then you need to click to confirm that you want to leave. this inspired one creative technologist to create the zoomout.

to leave a meeting, i pull this... he's gone. you know when you're talking to somebody and you say goodbye in person, and then you end up walking in the same direction? i hate that. exactly. it's like that, but every hour, when you're doing calls all day. you are trying to leave and you say goodbye, and you're fumbling for the leave button. this is brian moore, who created the zoomout. of course we had to make our own. so stephen beckett downloaded the plans that brian put on github, got handy with the printer, and here is the result. here you go. a pull cord connected to a bluetooth—enabled circuit board that sends a message to your computer to end the call. simple and effective.

it's a race. one, two, three, go. you don'tjust have to make these things for yourself, you can share them with the world on the internet so you can go viral with these things. i feel really good comedians, they make a joke about something that everybody thinks isjust something that they experience, but then because they love it because, well, everybody experiences it. the same thing goes with this. i didn't think that many people would — this is certainly something that i experience. it turns out that millions of people who watched this felt the same way. i never know — i'll make something and put it out in the world, and one person will see it, and then sometimes, i will make it, and put it on the web, see what happens, and suddenly blows up and i'm like "wow, i can't believe it." it just struck a chord,

no pun intended. what are some of the other crazy things that you have built? i have built a scooter that is powered by screaming. it's powered by anger. it was for angry birds. it's a scooter with a microphone on it. it didn't work unless you screamed. the louder you screamed, the faster it went. something i am working on that i have not mentioned is this polaroid. when you take a photo of somebody, it actually prints out a reverse image recognition photo of them off the internet, which is terrifying. it's a really scary thing. i tried taking a photo of my wife and i printed out a photo i had taken of her seven years ago, because it was on the internet somewhere. brian, can you keep these dumb projects coming, please? i can try. with covid—19, all i'm doing is sitting at home and making these things.

i've been working from home now for almost a year, and i've done a lot of slouching. and i started getting worried i might be doing myself some harm. i've also been bombarded with instagram ads for this gadget that makes you sit up straight, so i thought i'd give it a go. this is the upright g0 2, and you wear it at the top of your back. it comes with sticky pads so that you can stick it to your skin, or you can wear it on a neckband. i prefer the glue. once it's in place, you tap the button twice to calibrate. then, if you lean forward, it will vibrate, reminding you to sit up straight. that's all there is to it. the application records how long you've been slouching, and how long you have been upright. where i completely forgot i was wearing it. at least once i showered with it on. thankfully, it still works. after using it a few times, those stints where i was wearing it, i was managing to get 80—90% of the time upright. i'm lucky i have never had

serious neck or back pain, but i wonder if there are health benefits to this. the company makes no health claims on its ads on instagram, but it does make health related comments on its website. so, i spoke to ashleyjames from the uk's charter society of physiotherapy to ask if there is anything wrong with slouching. absolutely not. there is nothing wrong with slouching in moderation, just as the same there is nothing wrong with sitting up perfectly straight. what we know is there is no right or wrong position to sit in. there are only positions that are held for too long. i've seen those posts on social media that see if you use your phone too much or use it badly in a chair, you are permanently changing the shape of your necks and spine, is that true? yeah, no, there is no good evidence that sitting in any one position will permanently change the position of your spine. the key thing is movement

and not to be sat in any one position for too long. the company's research shows that people do sit up more when they use it. no surprise there because it buzzes every time you slouched. one thing i notice is it doesn't because if you lean backwards. position like this are not ok but you can sit really badly back in a chair and it will never vibrate. from my point of view i have enjoyed wearing this, i see in the shops with the mirrors, i see myself hunched over. but now, when the pandemic is over and i get to go to a posh event, i might wear this to remind myself to sit up straight and keep my shoulders back. meet marguerite, who lives in surrey.

i have six grown—up children and 18 grandchildren and 15 great—grandchildren. some of them live far away, others are working all day and they cannot always come and visit me. but life can be isolating, especially in these days of lockdown or restrictions. so, one of marguerite's daughters went looking for a professional companion for harris. now, meet sue, a freelance script writer who lives close to marguerite. it was marguerite's name that kind of caught my attention. i asked her about her name and she started telling me her history and mentioned that she had once upon a time been a professional ballroom dancer. yeah, i was very interested in her life and she was interested in what i was saying to her. the application was originally launched to provide face—to—face short spells of company from vetted companions for an agreed fee.

it may have been the start of a beautiful friendship, though? during lockdown times, many like sue and marguerite have chosen to switch to the app online meeting space. one of my hobbies is writing. so, hearing stories is fascinating for me. i love it. sometimes you can open up to people and not tell your family certain things, which i think is very enlightening. companions is not the only platform that can help you meet people for a bit of conversation at the moment. quarantine chart launched last year and the idea is that it randomly puts two people together from anywhere in the world for a 1—to—1 phone chat. we are about to connect to someone else, somewhere in the world? hello? hi. how's it going? i am doing pretty well. there was a big film festival two weeks ago,

and a lot of my friends went... i'm out the restaurant, | we are at 25% capacity. i'm craving wide space at the moment, so, big mountains, and so on... i found somebody was at the party who had just tested positive... putting it to the test, a few of the calls i signed up for did not happen, but i did manage to make a friend in japan. what has been the greatest high for you? mostlyjust reading books. and i'm interested in people. the app matches you with someone who speaks the same language and is awake at the same time. 0perating via another app called dial up, no personal information is shared and calls are made using data. it has 10,000 users globally, and although they are not pre—vetted, there is a feedback system to report anything

u ntowa rd. how interesting. something new for every one to try. looks like we have all tried something new this week's topic that is it from us for now. and as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media, find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter on @bbcclick. see you soon! bye— bye! bye— bye. good evening. it has been a wintry start to a new week, bitterly cold and snow showers, amber weather warning still remains

in force across parts of east anglia and the south—east. we have some accumulations causing road closures in kent, as you can see by that picture. we have also had a keen easterly wind whipping up the north sea, making it feel a bitingly cold at times and actually this easterly flow is set to stay with us for the next few days. so yes, it is a beast from the east, the question is how long will it stay? it has been driving in snow showers across eastern scotland and north—east england through the day, more persistent snow across the south—east due to the legacy of a weather front here. that is where the amber weather warning remains throughout the night. and into tomorrow lunchtime. as you can see, plenty of snow showers are set to continue. it will be a cold start to monday as well, with temperatures just below freezing. we will start off monday with plenty of isobars on the chart, that easterly wind a notable feature and i will continue to drive in the threat of further snow showers. we could potentially see funnelling of these snow showers merging fur

longer spells of snow at times and those could start to bring some accumulation of further inland, but sheltered western areas should stay relatively dry and quiet, but it will be a cold and blustery afternoon for many. that would just exacerbate that wintry feel at there. temperatures in your thermometer will just sit a couple of degrees above freezing, but factor in wind strength and direction of that wind, it really is going to feel quite cold indeed. moving into tuesday, the isobars open just a touch across central and southern england, lighter winds, if you are showers here and we need to keep an eye on this weather front to the south—west. it mayjust bring the threat of snow showers to the isles of scilly by the end of the day. the snow showers will remain across north—east england and up into eastern scotland, sheltered western areas again seeing the best of the drier, sunnier moments and temperatures are still likely to struggle.

from wednesday onwards it looks likely to stay relatively quiet, perhaps not quite as cold as we head towards the weekend.
