forces have opened fire to disperse a protest. armoured vehicles have been seen driving round the streets of central yangon for first time since the coup two weeks ago. many drivers expressed their anger by beeping their horns. i'm joined now by our soe win than from the bbc�*s burmese service. talking there about the internet back out. what is the latest you can tell us? it back out. what is the latest you can tell us? , ., tell us? it is 3am in the morning and all the _ tell us? it is 3am in the morning and all the internet _ tell us? it is 3am in the morning and all the internet lines - tell us? it is 3am in the morning and all the internet lines have i tell us? it is 3am in the morning i and all the internet lines have gone since iam and all the internet lines have gone since 1am in the morning, two hours ago. internet service providers are instructed by the military government to shut down the internet from 1am in the morning until 9am tomorrow morning. eight hours blackout. very little information is coming out from the country. we had seen tanks earlier and soldiers moving into many cities. curfew is in place. night time curfew is in

disperse. when protesters refused, and they started to shoot, we do not know whether the used live rounds are not, but we saw later on video footage of some people injured. they had light injuries. people were also tear gassed. we saw young people washing their faces. tear gassed. we saw young people washing theirfaces. it tear gassed. we saw young people washing their faces. it is tear gassed. we saw young people washing their faces.— washing their faces. it is clearly a very tense _ washing their faces. it is clearly a very tense situation. _ washing their faces. it is clearly a very tense situation. how - washing their faces. it is clearly a very tense situation. how do - washing their faces. it is clearly a very tense situation. how do you | very tense situation. how do you expect people to react to these latest developments from the military? latest developments from the milita ? , , military? they seem quite determined. _ military? they seem quite determined. the - military? they seem quite determined. the country i military? they seem quite| determined. the country is military? they seem quite - determined. the country is quite united against this military takeover. we have seen in recent days large numbers of people coming out onto the streets and protesting against this military takeover. they plan to continue with their protest. they have called for a nationwide strike at 9am tomorrow, and they are quite determined that they will go on. that also could depend on how much crackdown comes and security troops have done during this night.

jab by mid—february. it has been a truly national, uk—wide effort. we've done it together. and i want to thank each and every person who has helped make it happen. you can be incredibly proud of the part you played. hi, my name's libby. i'll do your vaccination today. the aim now is to offer everyone over 50 a first injection by the end of april. then, some conservative mps argue, all legal restrictions should end. it's completely tied to the roll—out of the vaccination programme. and the fact that you are then protecting the most vulnerable people from death and serious disease from covid, from the fantastically successful vaccination programme the nhs has undertaken. while the pressure to lift the lockdown is on, as the vaccination programme continues at pace, ministers are urging caution until the impact of the vaccines is clear. we share all of the ambition and the desire to get

out of this lockdown. we want to do it responsibly and safely. and therefore, it's got to be based on the evidence. which is, of course, what we said from the outset. the prime minister is due to give details of a roadmap out of lockdown in england a week on monday, the 22nd of february. schools are expected to open to all pupils on the 8th of march. next, more outdoor recreation is likely to be allowed, followed by more shops being able to open and, finally, hospitality venues. but some in that industry are eager to start trading sooner. we think we can open very safely for easter weekend. we understand, as i said, that there will be social restrictions in place, like they were injuly. and we will absolutely administer those to the letter. and we will ensure that we've got a responsibility for our customers and our staff. although there is urgency from businesses badly affected, there are risks if the government acts too soon. this lockdown has to be the final lockdown, by the way.

the strategic aim is to do everything we can now, so we don't have to go back into a lockdown. there will be no shortage of speculation in the coming days about how and when a return to normal may come. but the stakes are still high. jonathan blake, bbc news. britain's largest airport — heathrow — has restated its concerns about the ability of border officials to cope when quarantine rules change on monday. british and irish citizens and uk residents arriving in england from certain countries will have to quarantine in government—sanctioned hotels for 10 days to try to stop new coronavirus variants from entering the country. airport authorities say they've been working hard to implement the policy, but said reported queues of almost five hours were "totally unacceptable" . simon calder is travel editor at the independent. he says enforcement of the new policy won't be straight forward.

it is going to be very, very tricky. i mean, in the past few days, the home secretary, priti patel, has said that this policy simply could not be introduced overnight. in fact, the government has been talking about it for a month. in australia, of course, they did literally introduce the policy overnight, between the 27th and the 28th of march last year. so lots to learn from them. there has been a couple of very thorough reviews of it. they say everybody has to be kind of lined up — from the officials who welcome the planes, to the drivers, to the security staff, to the hoteliers — and they expressed particular concern about the idea of fresh air breaks. they say allowing people to go out in the watchful eye of a security guard actually increases risks all round. so, they say most definitely it is not a risk—free process. the government, of course, says it is essential to stop the new brazilian and south african variants coming in, being imported into the uk, just as the vaccine roll—out, as you have been reporting, is going so well.

donald trump has hinted that he could return to politics, after being acquitted in his second impeachment trial in the us senate. only seven republicans joined the democrats in voting to convict the former president, meaning the vote fell short of the required two—thirds majority. after the verdict, mr trump said the movement to �*make america great again' had onlyjust begun. nomia iqbal reports from washington. the yeas are 57, the nays are a3. more than 2a hours after donald trump was cleared of inciting a mob, the reaction was swift — much like his trial. there was nancy pelosi, the top democrat, who had been a target of the rioters that day. what we saw in that senate today was a cowardly group of republicans who apparently have no options, because they were afraid to defend theirjob. the prime minister boris johnson also weighed in. i think the clear message we get

from the proceedings in america is that after all the toing and froings, and all the kerfuffle, american democracy is strong. but as for the man himself, no public appearance, just a statement. mr trump said, "our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to make america great again has onlyjust begun. i look forward to continuing our incredible journey together." there was no mention of january the sixth. and his acquittal, thanks to 47 republican senators, cements the enduring power he holds over the party. it means he could run for office again in 202a. i spoke to him last night... one of his closest allies is republican lindsey graham, who says mr trump will have influence over the midterm elections, which are only two years away. he's ready to move on and rebuild the republican party. he's excited about 2022. however, mrtrump's legal woes are not over.

the states of georgia and new york are conducting criminal investigations into his actions, that could threaten his finances and possibly his freedom. happy valentine's day. there was also a statement from the actual sitting president, that felt like a speech. mr biden called the riots a sad chapter and that democracy was fragile. this trial was about donald trump's attempt to stopjoe biden from occupying the house behind me. and although he's been acquitted, his efforts failed. this isjoe biden's white house. and he doesn't want his legacy to be about the man he defeated, but about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that he's promised this country he will beat. nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. earlier we heard from anita kumar, the white house correspondent at politico. she said that the impeachment proceedings have done little to ease political division in the united states. the republican party is still very much divided, and they cannot decide what that path forward is going to be.

is that going to be following donald trump whatever he does? allowing him to have that influence over the party? or kind of taking a different route? and members themselves can't decide that, members of congress can't decide. i think a lot of it depends on exactly what we were just talking about, which is what does he... how much influence does he try to exert in these coming months? what we have understood is that once the impeachment trial was over, he was going to come out and be more vocal, and start talking and maybe doing events. we haven't really seen him do that since january 20. the duke and duchess of sussex have just announced that they're expecting a second child. a spokesman for the couple said: "we can confirm that archie is going to be a big brother" and described prince harry and meghan as "overjoyed". buckingham palace hasjust issued a statement to say that the entire british royal family is delighted at the news. more on this from our royal correspondent nichola witchell.

meghan suffered a miscarriage last summer. that was something that she wrote about in an article in the new york times. but now she... one must assume that she has reached a safe period in the pregnancy, to the extent that they now feel confident about making this announcement. they have also released a black and white photograph of the two of them sitting, kind of almost lolling, under a tree at their home, presumably, in california. it is a black—and—white photograph, rather appropriate for valentine's day. they are clearly looking very happy. and as they've said in their statement, they are overjoyed to be expecting their second child. this will be a brother or a sister to archie, their first baby, who was born on the 6th of may, 2019. it is coming up to a year since they stepped back as working members of the royal family. they are now set up at their home in california. just 48 hours ago, or 72 hours ago i suppose it is, they won their case

against associated newspapers, so that will be a source of great satisfaction to them, and now this further very happy news that they are expecting a second baby. the headlines on bbc news... anger in myanmar as armoured vehicles appear on the streets of yangon, an internet blackout has been imposed. 15 million people in the uk have now had their first coronavirus vaccine — the government says it's hit its first target one day early. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's karthi. thank you very much. let's start with cricket because england's hopes of beating india in the second test look to be crumbling in the dust. after they were bowled out for 134 on day two. india need to win to level the series, and they made 329

is being taken to the court. this young, energetic climate change activist is now under police custody in connection with an investigation into an alleged conspiracy to bring disrepute to india. mr ravi shared document to help understand the ongoing farmers protest on social media and how to support the movement online. tens of thousands of farmers have been protesting against three new laws, which they say will benefit big private companies. translation: these laws will have an effect on anyone who eats. - if corporates are allowed to come in, they will buy from us at very low prices and we will lose our livelihoods. the document, or the toolkit, was also shared by the global climate change activist greta thunberg. the international attention rattled the indian authorities, who described the comments as sensationalist.

the arrest of mr ravi has triggered shock and disbelief on indian social media circles. many activists and opposition politicians are scathing in their criticism. critics say the hindu nationalist bjp government is trying to curb political dissent and criticism. they say mr ravi's arrest as a warning to others who are critical of the government's policies. anbarasan ethirajan, bbc news. in russia, valentine's day has seen more protests in support of the jailed opposition leader, alexei navalny. women took to the streets with flowers — and perhaps because of the nature of the protest — there was no repeat of the violence and arrests of previous demonstations, as our moscow correspondent sarah rainsford reports. the cold was toe—numbing in moscow today. but these women defied the frost and their fear to turn out for a valentine's day protest. they called it a chain of solidarity and love, and they carried

flowers, not placards. but the hearts were black, in memory of all the russian women detained and persecuted because of their politics. i want to support all these women, and all these prisoners. there are some of my acquaintances in prison. we hoped that today it wasn't to be so many arrests. because we are here for love. not for struggle. the numbers here are not huge, but the message the women are sending is a strong one. about the right to political, peaceful protest, and for an end to arrests of people just for expressing their views. today's protest was inspired by alexei navalny�*s gesture to his wife in court. yulia was there as the opposition politician was sentenced to almost three years behind bars. that ruling brought crowds

onto the streets last month, chanting for navalny�*s freedom. there were the biggest protests against president putin for years. and the response was tough. thousands detained and dozens facing serious criminal charges. the kremlin calls the rallies illegal, fomented by the west, it says, to weaken russia. so, navalny�*s team have switched tack. across russia tonight, his supporters are forming torchlit hearts in their own backyards, peaceful and police—proof. they want to show that the protests have moved off the streets for now, but haven't faded. sarah rainsford, bbc news. an exit poll for regional elections in catalonia in northeastern spain predicts that separatist parties will again emerge as the strongest — as they did following a divisive, unofficial vote on independence in 2017.

the catalan—language public broadcaster, tv3, forecasts that the pro— independence republican left of catalonia will win the largest number of seats. when daimon keith from manchester, in the north of england, was put into a medically induced coma— after contracting coronavirus last year — things looked bleak. since then though, after being cared for by the doctors and nurses at wythenshawe hospital, the father of two has made a full recovery and been given a wake up call — asjuliet phillips reports. this was daimon keith last march — struggling to breathe with covid, he had been rushed to wythenshawe hospital. there he was put into a coma and hooked up to an ecmo machine, which would act as his heart and lungs. the last chance saloon they call it. yeah, it is high probability that you don't exit that, but i was lucky. through the excellent care and the highly professional, world—class team at wythenshawe hospital. it has been a long road to recovery, but now daimon says coming close

to death has inspired him to live a healthier life. i am eating a lot healthier as part of the recovery, exercising in this park, stopped smoking, alcohol intake is down, so really trying to use it as a spur to move forward. as a thank you to the people who cared for their dad, daimon's sons decided to get on their bikes and fund raise for the hospital charity. they have raised more than £9,000. there is a ten kilometre route around our house, and we cycled round that 69 days, for every day dad was in hospital. iwe just thought we would give backi because they gave such amazing care ito dad while he was in hospital, | so we just wanted to do anything to, like, help them. the charity save the money they have raised is especially important during the pandemic. we have had ourfundraising decimated, like all charities across the uk, so it is great that charlie and henry did something that they could do safely, within covid restrictions, to raise funds for us. we are really grateful for that.

juliet phillips, bbc news. you are watching bbc news. now the weather with nick miller. hello. much milder air is now moving in across the uk. just a massive difference from what we have had for the past week. it has not been good weather for ducks because a lot of stuff has been frozen, but now it will be this week because, well, it is back to rain. radar picture, which has so often been full of white for snow in the past week, shows the milder air is coming with outbreaks of rain. and there will be more to come as we go through the week. as we go on through the night, the rain becomes confined to the east and south—east of england, showers to northern ireland and west of scotland. those really strong winds, particularly in western scotland, that we have now slowly easing. initially quite chilly across eastern parts, but these are the temperatures at the end of the night, all areas seeing them gradually creeping upwards. and the flow of air around low pressure coming in from the south—west,

so a mild direction, that is why temperatures are heading up as the cold air is squeezed away further east. so we are starting the week with temperatures of above average for the time of year, compared with what we have had. but there will be further rain across east anglia and south—east england for a time in the morning before slowly clearing away. very misty, murky start for many of us, if you sunny spells developing, and showers heading from northern ireland across scotland into parts of wales and the western side of england as the afternoon goes on. look at these temperatures, though, for many of us into double figures. just northern and eastern parts of scotland hanging onto around 7—9 degrees. now, we are dry for a time on monday night, but we are going to see another spell of rain sweeping north eastwards. again on these fairly brisk south—westerly winds. all of that means another mild night and a mild start to the day on tuesday. during tuesday, we will have one lingering weather front that has to clear away from the east and the south—east of england. early rain clearing away from northern scotland. then we are left with a few sunny

spells, but a few showers coming in towards the west. some of these could be heavy, possibly with a rumble of thunder. turning quite windy again, particularly towards the north—west of scotland. again, for most of us, temperatures into double figures. a little bit cooler on thursday, and then the potential for things to turn very mild indeed going into next weekend. we will keep an eye on that, particularly in those areas that get to see a bit of sunshine rather than a bit more rain. much milder, then, this week, and we will notice that by day and by night, but with rain at times.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: with 15 million now vaccinated — the goverment says it's hit the first covid vaccination target a day early. it has been a truly national uk—wide effort. we have done it together. and i want to thank each and every person who has helped make it happen. you can be incredibly proud of the part you have played. the prime minister is under pressure from some of his own mps to end covid restrictions by the end of april — ministers urge caution. anger in myanmar as armoured vehicles appear on the streets of yangon — an overnight internet blackout has been imposed.
