good morning, this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire, here are the latest headlines. the vaccines minister says the public should have confidence in the uk's covid vaccine programme despite early evidence suggesting the oxford jab doesn't do much to prevent mild or moderate disease when it comes to the south africa variant of the virus. it's still something we quite rightly have got to keep very close eye on, hence that surge testing to track down those cases of it and make sure those who have this variant self—isolate and thereby don't transmit it further. meanwhile, the vaccine rollout continues. about one million people were given a first dose over the weekend, taking the overall total to more than 12 million. heavy snow hits large parts of the country, and more is on its way.

here in clacton in essex on the coast they are bearing the brunt of it. a weather warning is in place and people are expecting disruption to travel and possible power cuts. israel's prime minister pleads not guilty to corruption charges — he's accused of offering favours to media companies. and another victory for the veteran quarter—back tom brady — the 43—year—old wins his seventh superbowl in the nfl�*s season finale. if you are getting in touch today, you're very welcome, particularly about the vaccine rolled out. you can message me on twitter and instagram, or e—mail me.

the vaccines minister says the public can have confidence in the uk's covid vaccines, after south africa put its plans to use the oxford astrazeneca jab on hold. early trials suggest that against the south african coronavirus variant, the oxford vaccine offers "minimal protection" from mild and moderate disease. so far, 147 cases of the variant have been found in the uk, but the dominant strain in this country is the kent one, against which the vaccines appear to work well. vaccines minister nadhim zahawi said scientists were working on updated vaccines to fight new variants, but added that we should "take confidence from the current roll—out and the protection it will provide all of us". aru na iyengar reports. the race to arm the uk against coronavirus is stepping up another gear, with 18 new vaccination centres opening

today across england. elland road has seen some pretty special shots on goal over the years, now the leeds united stadium is also helping give a shot in the arm, boosting the effort to give the top four priority groups part one of their vaccination by this time next week. and we are on target to offer 15 million first doses, maybe more. the numbers do seem to be very impressive, and that's great news, but i think the really key issue is that it's notjust a question of numbers. it's getting the vaccine doses into the right people. and that is being achieved, i think. we are seeing very high percentages of people in their 80s now covered, and now increasing numbers of people in their 70s. particularly the older age groups, that's the really powerful predictor of risk. in the latest 24—hour period, just under 550,000 people had a first dose of one of the three approved vaccines. that takes the overall number who have had theirfirstjab

tojust over 12 million. there are questions over how much protection these vaccines will give against new variants of the virus emerging here and in other countries. last night, south africa announced it was suspending its full roll—out of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine after a small study suggested the jab offers minimal protection against mild disease from the specific south africa variant. the country was due to start with a million doses of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine in the next few days, but the new data has created uncertainty. it's a temporary issue that we have to hold onto, astrazeneca. it is temporary until we figure out what are the next steps supposed to be. it is temporary until we figure out these issues, what are the next steps supposed to be. when we know those steps then of course we will bring you more.

here, the vaccines minister has defended the jab, insisting it was vitally important in protecting the health care system. modified vaccines and boosterjabs are likely to be needed to beat mutations that could help the virus keep spreading for a long time yet. aruna iyengar, bbc news. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is at wesminster. is the government were read about this new small study regarding the oxford vaccine? the? this new small study regarding the oxford vaccine?— oxford vaccine? they don't seem overly worried _ oxford vaccine? they don't seem overly worried yet _ oxford vaccine? they don't seem overly worried yet and _ oxford vaccine? they don't seem overly worried yet and they - oxford vaccine? they don't seem overly worried yet and they point | oxford vaccine? they don't seem i overly worried yet and they point to the fact this study in south africa was quite small and it looked at young people and looked at whether they developed a mild or moderate forms of the disease will stop the government was met current vaccination strategy here in the uk is to protect older and vulnerable people and stop them going into hospital or dying and the study does not tell us anything about that. the health minister has been on the airwaves this morning quoting professor sarah gilbert from oxford, the person who basically invented the person who basically invented the oxford astrazeneca vaccine. there isn't anything that suggests, or that she's seen, that this isn't

effective in preventing severe illness, in preventing hospitalisation and preventing deaths. and although this study is an important one, and quite rightly, we will look at it carefully. throughout the past year, when i've been coming on your programme, throughout this pandemic, i've always been cautious in saying the science will evolve, we will look at all studies, but this is only one study, one small study. today, ministers have been pointing to another study released on friday that looked at the effectiveness of the astrazeneca vaccine against the uk variant, which started in kent and which showed it still works pretty well. ministers pointing out thatis pretty well. ministers pointing out that is the dominant strain in the uk at the moment and they have only identified 147 cases of the south african variant. in other words, thatis african variant. in other words, that is much less concerning at the moment. . ~ that is much less concerning at the moment. ., ~ , ., ~ ., joining me now is professor robin shattock, head of immunity at imperial college london. good morning. people who have had

the oxford astrazeneca vaccine might be worried about the kind of protection it gives. should they be? no, at this stage i don't think there is any need for people to be concerned who have had the vaccine and i would encourage those people who are being called forward to get the vaccine as well. it's really important to recognise this is a very small study and its implications for the uk are not fully worked out right now. yes. fully worked out right now. yes, it's around _ fully worked out right now. yes, it's around 2000 _ fully worked out right now. yes, it's around 2000 people, - fully worked out right now. yes, it's around 2000 people, average age of 31 years old. so we have to keep it in perspective. the government says there are over 100 cases of the south africa strain in this country. those are the official figures but what do you think the reality is? it may well be larger than that but that's why it's important for us to be very aggressive in terms of seeing how that strain is spreading and for people to continue to adhere to all the precautions to try to keep infections as low as possible so we can get on top of this virus

as quickly as we can. if so we can get on top of this virus as quickly as we can.— so we can get on top of this virus as quickly as we can. if this study, if it becomes _ as quickly as we can. if this study, if it becomes formally _ as quickly as we can. if this study, if it becomes formally published, l as quickly as we can. if this study, | if it becomes formally published, if it is the reality, what does that mean for people who have had the oxford astrazeneca vaccine and it not being effective against mild and moderate doses of the disease when it comes to the south african variant? , ., ., ., ., variant? first of all, we have not seen the data, _ variant? first of all, we have not seen the data, it _ variant? first of all, we have not seen the data, it is _ variant? first of all, we have not seen the data, it is not - variant? first of all, we have not| seen the data, it is not published yet and we hope it will be revealed soon. it is not clear in that study whether people had only a single vaccination or whether they had two doses. we definitely know they will not have had a delayed second dose and the delay makes the vaccine much more potent, so it needs more studies to see with the optimised regime whether it protects against serious disease. there is every likelihood that will be the case. the other issue is, get the astrazeneca vaccine now, and you can get a boost likely in the winter if

it is needed. you will not be starting from no immunity at all. so if you get it now, it will protect you against the dominant virus in the uk and if you need a booster to update your immunity later in the year, then that will be in place. how important is it to get on top of this south africa strain and what's the best way to do it? it’s the best way to do it? it's important _ the best way to do it? it's important to _ the best way to do it? it's important to get - the best way to do it? it�*s important to get on top of all viruses circulating in the uk because the more virus that is being transmitted, the more likely other mutations may also occur, so we need to drive things down as low as possible to have the maximum impact of the vaccines but also to protect the vaccine and make sure they continue to be as effective as they possibly can be. pare continue to be as effective as they possibly can loo-— continue to be as effective as they possibly can be-— possibly can be. are you worried about seeming _ possibly can be. are you worried about seeming reluctance - possibly can be. are you worried | about seeming reluctance among possibly can be. are you worried - about seeming reluctance among black people and other ethnic minorities to get the vaccination? yes. people and other ethnic minorities to get the vaccination?— to get the vaccination? yes, very much. to get the vaccination? yes, very much- the _ to get the vaccination? yes, very much. the sad _ to get the vaccination? yes, very much. the sad irony _ to get the vaccination? yes, very much. the sad irony is, - to get the vaccination? yes, very

clacton hospital suspending all appointments for today. so how is the centre at the stadium in colchester, the one in ipswich and the main one in bury st edmunds. people are being told if they were meant to have an appointment today it has been cancelled and they can rebook. if they don't hear from the centre they can call 119 to rearrange that. smaller vaccination centres may still be open, but the message to people is, if you don't feel you can get there and back safely then don't risk it. they don't want people to get injured travelling there and back. if you can't get there safely then call 119 to cancel and rebook. most schools are currently closed to most pupils but if you are a key worker and you are not certain then get in touch with your local school and listen to bbc local radio who will have updates through the day. if you are home—schooling, it's up to you whether you call a snow day and

cancel lessons!— whether you call a snow day and cancel lessons! �* . ., , ., cancel lessons! ben gave a couple of ointers as cancel lessons! ben gave a couple of pointers as to _ cancel lessons! ben gave a couple of pointers as to what's _ cancel lessons! ben gave a couple of pointers as to what's to _ cancel lessons! ben gave a couple of pointers as to what's to come - cancel lessons! ben gave a couple of pointers as to what's to come over i pointers as to what's to come over the next 24 hours but you can get all the details now. i can now speak to the bbc weather presenter simon king. what is going to happen? you have heard there — what is going to happen? you have heard there that _ what is going to happen? you have heard there that we _ what is going to happen? you have heard there that we still— what is going to happen? you have heard there that we still have - what is going to happen? you have l heard there that we still have amber warnings from the met office affecting parts of the south—east of england but the new one this morning is across parts of lincolnshire, the north midlands and south yorkshire. we have a strong easterly wind, dubbed the beast from the east. the air is coming all the way from siberia, eastern russia and the arctic. it is bitterly cold, even if you don't have snow. a strong easterly wind continuing to bring snow showers across the east of the uk. it is almost like a hosepipe in the north sea. if you imagine that type spring snow showers in some parts, in some areas you will get a lot of snow, maybe 10—15 centimetres. maybe ten or 20 miles

to the north and south of that you will not get much. maybe some, between two and eight centimetres, but if the wind direction changes slightly then the hosepipe will change slightly and more snow will accumulate in other areas. it is a bit hit and miss and generally the further west you are the less likely you will see heavy and significant snowfall. that's not to say there won't be some snow showers moving across western areas as well but it is bitterly cold out there. it across western areas as well but it is bitterly cold out there.— is bitterly cold out there. it was disgusting _ is bitterly cold out there. it was disgusting when _ is bitterly cold out there. it was disgusting when i _ is bitterly cold out there. it was disgusting when i left _ is bitterly cold out there. it was disgusting when i left the - is bitterly cold out there. it was| disgusting when i left the house is bitterly cold out there. it was i disgusting when i left the house at 4:30am. its tights under yourjeans day. thank you, simon king. the headlines on bbc news... the oxford vaccine shows disappointing results aginst the south africa variant, but the vaccine's minister urges confidence in the uk's vaccination programme. the roll—out continues at pace — more than 12 million people have now received their virst dose. and more heavy snow is forecast for the east and south—east of england, with severe weather warnings in force.

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges at his trial injerusalem. mr netanyahu was charged two years ago over allegations that he accepted improper gifts and sought to trade regulatory favour with media moguls in exchange for positive coverage. he's previously strongly refuted the charges as "fabricated and ludicrous". our middle east correspondent yolande knell has this update from outside the court. mr netanyahu has consistently denied any wrongdoing. he appeared in court, we saw him dash in and out in a motorcade, there is very tight security all around me in this part ofjerusalem. he was in court for only about 20 minutes, where he told the panel of three judges he confirmed what had been entered as a written submission, that he pleaded not guilty to these charges of bribery, breach of trust and corruption.

and as he came out, he would have seen, as he often does close to his residence injerusalem, this large group of people who are opposed to him remaining in office while he is on criminal trial. people who call him a "crime minister" and demand his resignation. there have been a few people who turned up to support mr netanyahu despite his video message telling them to stay at home. and there were some confrontations in the street between people. but mr netanyahu was swift to move away. he has got more official duties planned for later in the day. you can see thatjust at this very sensitive time, as israel is beginning to ease its latest coronavirus lockdown, its third coronavirus lockdown, also preparing to go for elections in just six weeks' time, they will be the fourth

elections israel has had injust two years, and coronavirus and the government's handling of this pandemic, are really going to be the key issues for the election campaign. online fashion retailer boohoo has bought the dorothy perkins, wallis and burton brands. the deal means all of the former arcadia group businesses have now been sold — but they will all now become online—only. nearly 2,500 staff are set to lose theirjobs. tesco, asda and morrisons are among major retailers calling for online stores like amazon to pay more tax when the pandemic has ended. they have written to the chancellor asking for what they call a more level playing field will stop business editor katie prescott has this. another consequence of the pandemic. online retailers are doing a roaring trade. while high street stores have had to close. senior figures who run and owned 10,000 bricks and mortar shops are questioning whether traditional tax

structures on the value of property still make sense. as tax on shops is often far higher than warehouses. there are some of those businesses, unless they get to a fairer position in terms of how they are trading in respect of online retailing, which gets a very easy ride currently with the current business rates system, unless we get to a fairer position in this situation, that started before the pandemic but has been really exacerbated in the past year, this situation will only get worse and people will see their high streets, i'm afraid, looking even less healthy than they were before. in a letter to government they have set nearly 15,000 jobs in the sector have already been lost and more could follow. even before covid—19 the current system penalised physical shops, the current system penalised physicalshops, reducing the current system penalised physical shops, reducing business rates for retailers and rebalancing the tax system to ensure online retailers pay a fair share of tax would provide a vital boost to bricks and mortar retailers and support communities in need of levelling up. there is currently a

review of business rates under and the government said it will consider the government said it will consider the case for introducing an online sales tax as part of it. katie prescott, bbc news. a year after an independent enquiry into a rogue surgeon reported, campaigners say patients are pottery lives are still being put at risk. ian paterson carried out botched surgeries and hundreds of women. he is serving a 20 year prison term for seven counts of wounding with intent. he worked at nhs and private hospitals in the west midlands for a decade and a half. it is unregulated cleavage sparing mastectomy is, in which breast tissue was left behind, meant the disease returned in many patients. others had surgery they did not need. some even finding out years later they never had cancer at all. we can speak to linda millband, national practice

lead for clinical negligence at thompsons solicitors. who represented 600 patients of ian paterson. and judith eva and cheryl iommi who were injured by paterson. there were 15 recommendations, including setting up a register of surgeons so patients could look at their performances. one year on, how many have blimp implemented, as far as you know? we many have blimp implemented, as far as you know?— as you know? we don't have any direct information. _ as you know? we don't have any direct information. i— as you know? we don't have any direct information. i think - as you know? we don't have any direct information. i think there | as you know? we don't have any. direct information. i think there is work going on towards that, but nobody has been informed of the processes. nobody has been informed of the rocesses. ., nobody has been informed of the processes-— nobody has been informed of the rocesses. ., ., , ., ., processes. how do you feel about that? obviously _ processes. how do you feel about that? obviously there _ processes. how do you feel about that? obviously there has - processes. how do you feel about that? obviously there has been i processes. how do you feel about that? obviously there has been a | that? obviously there has been a pandemic. _ that? obviously there has been a pandemic. but — that? obviously there has been a pandemic, but i _ that? obviously there has been a pandemic, but i think _ that? obviously there has been a pandemic, but i think some - that? obviously there has been a pandemic, but i think some of. that? obviously there has been a i pandemic, but i think some of these processes are so important, for example, the insurance position, which mr paterson didn't have at the time, you are supposed to be clarified, and there is supposed to be a fund of last resort, and i think that's absolutely crucial for private patients. the

in 2017 of seven counts of wounding with intent. he was initially given a 15 year jail with intent. he was initially given a 15 yearjail term that with intent. he was initially given a 15 year jail term that was with intent. he was initially given a 15 yearjail term that was later increased to 20 years. more heavy snow is forecast for certain parts of the uk as the horribly cold weather continues. now it's time for a look at the weather. we have seen further snow in places as we have gone through the course of the evening and it is a cold start and still the risk of ice on untreated surfaces will stop it will remain cold over the next few days with temperatures below average anyway. adding on the windshield, it will feel sub zero. further snow showers too, and a return to overnight frosts. the met office still has two amber weather warnings in force, and amber means increased likelihood of disruption due severe weather. the snow showers today, we will not all see them, they will form lines in parts of the country.

parts of north—east england and the midlands, for example. gusty wind, some of that will be blowing towards the west but generally speaking, west is best in terms of dry weather and we will also see some sunshine in between showers as well. the strength of the wind gusts... temperatures today on the thermometer will look like plus three down to freezing, but adding on the wind chill, it would feel much colder. —4 in aberdeen, —3 in belfast and —7 in norwich. this evening and overnight, we continue with snow showers forming in bands, particularly across the central lowlands, one area we are keeping a keenion lowlands, one area we are keeping a keen ion because we could see some significant snow here. a cold night in prospect with the risk of ice. —— a keen eye on. tonight, the risk of significant snow across central lowlands and snow showers coming in on the wind. not as windy across the

south—east as today. windier through the english channel and the south—west with an approaching band of rain and the potential for some snow. this is how it will feel, another bitter day in prospect. on wednesday, if anything, the isobars space out a little bit more, so that means not all showers will be blowing towards the west, but it would be a cold start. —14 possible across parts of northern scotland, making it the coldest night of the year so far if that happens. a lot of the showers will be in the east with a view in the south—east. equally, a lot of dry weather, but still feeling cold.

hello, this is bbc news, with victoria derbyshire. the headlines: the vaccines minister says the public can have confidence in the uk's covid vaccines,

after disappointing results from the oxford vaccine against mild cases of the south africa variant. roughly one million people were given a first dose over the weekend, taking the overall total to more than 12 million. more heavy snow is forecast for the east and south—east of england, with severe weather warnings in force. myanmar�*s unrest intensifies — police fire water cannon on crowds in the capital, while nurses and other workers walk out to join protests against last week's military coup. tom brady wins his seventh super bowl, as his tampa bay buccaneers beat the kansas city chiefs. sport, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre... sally. good morning. england are edging towards a lead of 400 against india on day one of the first test in chennai. after dismissing the home side out for 337, england were looking

for quick runs to add to their lead of over 200, but lost rory burns to the first ball of the innings. and when captain and in—form man joe root was dismissed, england were wobbling on 101 for 5. they've now moved on to 136 for 6, a lead of 377. at the age of 43, tom brady has guided the tampa bay buccaneers to a 31—9 victory over the kansas city chiefs — to extend his record for super bowl wins to seven. to put that into context, that's more than any single nfl team. the biggest and most—watched spectacle in american sport came complete with a spectacular fighter plane fly—by. in his first season with tampa bay, after a 20—year spell with the new england patriots, brady threw three touchdown passes in the game to be named most valuable player for a record—extending fifth time. just really proud of all the guys, proud of all the coaches,

the effort we put in. we knew we were playing a great football team tonight and we got thejob done, so... you want to get this far, you have to get the job done, and we did it. after all the issues over travel and coronavirus protocols, the australian open is finally under way in melbourne, with serena williams and naomi osaka among those already through to the second round. another big name through in the women's draw is the second seed simona halep. the former wimbledon champion lost only three games in her first—round win over lizette cabrera. not such good news for britain's katie boulter. she lost her first—round match. the opening weekend of the six nations concluded with wales beating ireland, in a physical encounter in cardiff. joe wilson reports. in place of 74,000 voices, just 15. well, cardiff can never be empty, not for rugby. right, then. maintaining the limits is always

this sport's challenge. now, things look worse slowed down, but watch irish player peter o'mahony. that kind of contact just can't happen. ireland down to 14 men in the 14th minute. leigh halfpenny is text —— leigh halfpenny's picks nudged wales in front, for a while. tackling is safest when aimed at the legs, and johnny williams, head injury assessed and replaced. but remember, it was ireland who were permanently a man down. it was ireland who were dominating the game. just before half—time, a try. but the second half began with george north deceiving the irish defence, as wales found space. the same corner, and an even better finish, from louis rees—zammit. ball line, flag, done it.

five points was the final margin and welsh relief. joe wilson, bbc news. it's a long way back for premier league champions liverpool in the title race after a 4—1 defeat by manchester city leaves them them ten points behind, and city have a game in hand too. goalkeeper allison gifted city two goals in a 4—1 defeat at anfield — all the goals coming in the second half. phil foden fired in the fourth, and best goal of the game to leave pep guardiola's side in command at the top of the table. meanwhile, chelsea are hot on liverpool's heels. they'rejust one place behind in 5th after they beat sheffield united 2—1 at bramall lane. mason mount there with the pick of chelsea's goals. tottenham also won. that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. breaking news, alex salmond will not appear at the inquiry on the scottish government's handling of harassment complaints tomorrow as had been planned. the

former first minister is locked in a dispute with the committee over what material can be published. a spokeswoman said he had raised a number of issues for clarification and tuesday's session will not now go ahead so he won't be appearing at the inquiry tomorrow into the scottish government's handling of harassment complaints. back to our main story now, and the vaccines minister, nadhim zahawi, says the public can have confidence in the uk's covid vaccines, after an early trial suggested that against the south african variant, the oxford jab offers only 'minimal protection' from mild—to—moderate disease. as a result, south africa has put its plans to use the oxford astrazeneca jab on hold. joining me now is professor salim abdool karim, a clinical infectious diseases epidemiologist, who chairs the south african ministerial advisory committee on covid—19. welcome again, professor. why have you halted the roll—out of the

oxford—astrazeneca jab? you halted the roll-out of the oxford-astrazeneca jab? oxford-astrazeneca 'ab? good morninu , oxford-astrazeneca 'ab? good morning, victoria _ oxford-astrazeneca jab? good morning, victoria and - oxford-astrazeneca jab? good morning, victoria and to - oxford-astrazeneca jab? good morning, victoria and to all. oxford-astrazeneca jab? good morning, victoria and to all of| oxford—astrazeneca jab? (13mg. morning, victoria and to all of the viewers. so, when we initially assessed the vaccines and we decided that we will take an approach of having a diversity of candidates which included the astrazeneca vaccine, our early assessment showed that the vaccine was effective against both mild and severe disease, including hospitalisation. however, a recent study that was just out shows that in a small population of around 2,000 where there were no cases of severe disease, that the vaccine was less effective against miles disease, particularly in the context of south africa, where we have the variant. looking at that situation, we felt there was uncertainty as to whether

there was uncertainty as to whether the astrazeneca vaccine does indeed prevent severe infection and hospitalisation, which is what we are really interested in. so we need to ensure we have that data before we proceed with the roll—out. so the roll—out has not been stopped, it has just been temporarily delayed well we collect this evidence before proceeding. well we collect this evidence before ”roceedin. ., ., ., i. well we collect this evidence before ”roceedin. ., ., ., , ., ~' proceeding. how long do you think that will take? _ proceeding. how long do you think that will take? the _ proceeding. how long do you think that will take? the way _ proceeding. how long do you think that will take? the way in - proceeding. how long do you think that will take? the way in which i proceeding. how long do you think| that will take? the way in which we are looking — that will take? the way in which we are looking at _ that will take? the way in which we are looking at it _ that will take? the way in which we are looking at it right _ that will take? the way in which we are looking at it right now, - that will take? the way in which we are looking at it right now, we i that will take? the way in which we j are looking at it right now, we have are looking at it right now, we have a large group of scientists trying to establish what is the best way to collect that evidence quickly. it looks like the simplest way to proceed is to start the roll—out of the astrazeneca vaccine under a research protocol where we would vaccinate the first 100,000 individuals and look at the hospitalisation rates in that group. and if the hospitalisation routes —— rates are below the threshold, then we would proceed with just continuing the roll—out is normal. if that threshold is met and the

hospitalisations are too high, then we would stop rolling out the vaccine and instead give those individuals and other effective vaccine. i individuals and other effective vaccine. ., , ., ., individuals and other effective vaccine. ., ., vaccine. i wonder if you have acted prematurely. _ vaccine. i wonder if you have acted prematurely. as — vaccine. i wonder if you have acted prematurely, as you _ vaccine. ! wonder if you have acted prematurely, as you yourself- vaccine. i wonder if you have acted prematurely, as you yourself said, | prematurely, as you yourself said, it is a small study, 2,000 people, the average age of those in study was 31. and this study has not been peer reviewed, it has not been formally published yet.- peer reviewed, it has not been formally published yet. yes, i think it is notjust — formally published yet. yes, i think it is not just that _ formally published yet. yes, i think it is not just that we _ formally published yet. yes, i think it is notjust that we have _ formally published yet. yes, i think it is notjust that we have the i it is notjust that we have the clinical evidence, we also have the voluntary evidence which showed pretty high proportions of individuals who had been vaccinated with the astrazeneca vaccine that the virus had full escape. it had no neutralisation at all. so it was that combination that supported the clinical evidence. and we are not stopping the roll—out of the astrazeneca, it isjust

stopping the roll—out of the astrazeneca, it is just a temporary delay. and the reason for that is if we proceed with rolling it out and not knowing whether it remains effective, then we would be doing, we might be rolling out a vaccine thatis we might be rolling out a vaccine that is not working, we would rather be able to answer that question before we roll it out without knowing that information. understood, thank you very much the talking to us, professor salim abdool karim. for the third day in a row, people have taken to the streets in myanmar to protest against last week's military coup — in which the country's elected leader, aung san suu kyi, was detained. thousands are marching in the main city of yangon, while in the capital, police have used water cannons to try and disperse demonstrators. and it seems the number of professionsjoining the strike is growing. andrew nachemson is a journalist based in yangon, who has been monitoring the situation there.

one interesting thing is that a lot of these protests that we're seeing in yangon are being driven not necessarily from nld party members, but by youth student activists, labour unions, a lot of groups that are actually a lot more left—leaning than the nld, that are kind of independent from the party, but united in the goal to achieve democracy for myanmar. there's a real spirit of resistance and revolution here. the people are really angry and they're really motivated, but there's also a bit of a salvatory mood because, so far, the protests haven't been met with any resistance. so, you're seeing people singing in the streets and cheering and clapping. i went to get a coffee this morning and the woman who served my coffee was singing the revolutionary anthem from 1988 while she was serving. so, i mean, people are really getting into it. africa is experiencing a surge in cases. zimbabwe's covid death rate

went past 1,000 injanuary, forcing the government to reintroduce strict lockdown. several government ministers have died from covid and confirmed cases stand at around 34,000 in total. this report now from ferrari and the reasons behind the second way. the burials are hurry and full of relatives look on from a distance. zimbabwe, like most african countries, was mainly affected by the first ten microwave. but now it is in the grip of a deadly second wave. —— coronavirus. january was the deadliest month of all, this private cemetery is to average two or three covid burials a day, last month, that number rose to about a dozen, some family say their loved ones died so quickly from covid like symptoms, they are still waiting for test results. the powerful have not been spared

either. an unprecedented triple burial at the national war he rules shine. among those being buried, two government ministers. january accounted for more than half the total cases and two thirds of the deaths since the pandemic began. it followed festive season celebrations and travellers returning from south africa. the head of the major government hospital had warned of a pending second wave long before it arrived. he cited the reopening of schools and borders in october. brute schools and borders in october. we reall schools and borders in october. - really need to prevent this virus from spiralling out of control. in a proper covid—19 storm, there would be no way out of the storm. you won't cope with the numbers. so the idea here in lower resource areas is to make sure we don't reach a situation where we are having a full—blown covid—19 storm. situation where we are having a full-blown covid-19 storm. doctors urou -s full-blown covid-19 storm. doctors groups concerned _ full-blown covid-19 storm. doctors groups concerned about _ full-blown covid-19 storm. doctors groups concerned about the - full-blown covid-19 storm. doctors l groups concerned about the pressure on icu beds, oxygen supplies and the

and they were engulfed by the river. the situation here is still dangerous. people are leaving their homes and are fleeing towards the forest. with floodwaters rising and roads and homes destroyed, an urgent rescue operation is under way. hundreds of members of the indian military and disaster response units have been deployed to the area. translation: approximately 125 people could be missing - as per the estimates, but it could rise because the power company is unable to give the exact figures. everyone is busy in the rescue operations. prime minister narendra modi is monitoring the situation. but many have died or are still missing. two power plants were also hit. many remain unaccounted for. cheering but moments like these

keep hope alive. and keep the emergency workers digging. paul hawkins, bbc news. he's a world—famous rock star who played at the inauguration of president biden last month, but even dave grohl has to get stuck in with home—schooling. the foo fighters frontman has caught up with our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson, about lockdown life, his new album and a burning ambition to take up tap dancing. dave grohl, how does it feel to be releasing your new album in the middle of a global pandemic? it's a relief that people finally get to hear these songs that we recorded a year ago. i mean, when we... we wrote these songs maybe two years ago, we started recording, like, mid—2019, with the intention that this album was going to be the soundtrack to our 25th anniversary. it's our tenth album. we're going to go on this massive world tour. we're going to play stadiums

and festivals, and we're making this really upbeat, sort of danceable record because it's going to be the biggest party of our lives! and then everything went... he blows raspberry ..and just stopped. so, you know, the dam finally broke and i wasjust like, let's just put it — let's get it out there. we can't get to stage right now, but these songs were meant to be heard, so let's go. # it's times like these you learn to love again you also recently played joe biden's inauguration. how was that experience? well, it was an honour, first of all, to be included in that. i mean, i voted for the guy, so... unfortunately, it was prerecorded. we couldn't be in washington, dc — which, i was bummed out because that's my hometown. so when i saw it on television, i was actually in hawaii on the couch in a tie—dyed t—shirt, drinking a beer. so, it was... it was... it was a little surreal, but it was an honour nonetheless. the important question — how is home—schooling going? my kids know who i am.

0k? i've read my report cards to my kids before, so they're not necessarily going to come to me for anything academic. they just don't. like, i could be a cheerleader, i can make you a great breakfast, and i could make you smile before you start your day. but you don't necessarily want me in your history lessons. you don't necessarily want me helping you with trigonometry. let's enlist you to do some music education to the children of britain, then. give them three albums they should listen to for their music education. wow! well, you're going to want to get the beatles�* sgt pepper's. # it was 20 years ago today sgt pepper taught #the band to play. . . # one reason is because that album still connects the way it did

the day it came out. now, if you want to be a drummer, you're going to want to get the ac/dc album back in black. that is like... that is rock'n'roll drumming 101. music: back in black by ac/dc a third album, i mean, i like myself a little party every now and then — i do like to dance. i mean, come on, let'sjust go with saturday night fever. like, look, if you put saturday night fever on, it's going to feel like saturday night. it could be a monday morning! i would have to go with those three albums, it is a good way to start. and so ends dave grohl�*s music lesson, thank you very much for that! a number of vaccination centres are closed today because of the weather, clacton hospital is close, gainsborough sports centre in ipswich, thejobs serve gainsborough sports centre in ipswich, the jobs serve community stadium in colchester is closed and cherrington close in bury. you are advised to ring up and reschedule your appointment.

is the strength of the wind gust, strongest around the coast of east anglia and kent. temperatures today on the thermometer will look like they are plus three to freezing. but when you add on the wind—chill, it will feel much colder, —4 in aberdeen, main street in belfast, —7 in norwich. this evening and overnight, we continue with snow showers —— —3 in belfast. degree so across the central lowlands, one area we are keeping an eye on because we could see significant snow here. a cold night in prospect once again with the risk of ice. tomorrow, still the risk of a significant snow across the central lowlands. still snow showers coming in on the winter. not as windy across the south east is today. but windier through the english channel and the south—west, with an approaching band of rain, with the potential for some approaching band of rain, with the potentialfor some snow. approaching band of rain, with the potential for some snow. this approaching band of rain, with the potentialfor some snow. this is how it feels, so another bitter day in prospect. on wednesday, if anything, the isobars space out a bit more. so

not as windy. that means not all the showers will blow over towards the west. but it will be a cold start, -14 west. but it will be a cold start, —14 quite possible across parts of northern scotland. that makes it the coldest night of this year so far if that happens. a lot of showers will be in the east, a few in the south east. but a lot of dry weather, but still feeling cold.
