the duke and duchess of sussex are to give their first interview since stepping down as senior royals to american broadcaster, oprah winfrey. england lose the second test in chennai — it was only a matter of time — and india took the seven wickets they needed on day four, to level the series. good morning, nicola sturgeon is to announce later today whether more pupils will start to return to scotland's classrooms from next week. this could include children aged four to seven at primary schools, and some secondary pupils for coursework. but the first minister has warned it won't mark the start of a wider easing of covid—19 restrictions. in england, prime minister borisjohnson will set out his road map next monday — including the date schools can reopen to all pupils. in scotland, ministers

will examine the latest data and scientific advice this morning. the first minister has said she is "very keen" to begin the phased return of younger pupils to schools. primary schools in wales begin the process of reopening next monday, while in england and northern ireland, schools remain closed to most pupils until at least 8 march. we'll get the latest data from the ons infection survey this morning. it will give us the latest snapshot of how many people are likely to have had covid—i9 in england, based on blood test results from a sample of people aged 16 and over. in england, charities have voiced concern that some people with learning disabilities aren't receiving vaccine offers fast enough, despite being six times more likely to die of covid. those aged 18—34 with a learning disabillity are 30 times more likely to die from the virus, according to public health england. and the prime minister has suggested

rapid coronavirus tests could be used to help open up the struggling entertainment industry. boris johnson stressed he was taking a cautious approach to easing england's lockdown, but said tests that give results within 30 minutes could be used to reopen venues such as theatres and nightclubs — many of which have been closed for almost a year. we'll have more on those stories throughout the morning — but let's start with that announcement from nicola sturgeon. lorna gordon is in glasgow for us. what are we expecting from nicola sturgeon today? the what are we expecting from nicola sturgeon today?— what are we expecting from nicola sturgeon today? the first minister has alwa s sturgeon today? the first minister has always taken _ sturgeon today? the first minister has always taken a _ sturgeon today? the first minister has always taken a cautious - sturgeon today? the first minister. has always taken a cautious approach to the easing of the lockdown in scotland. she is very keen to get children back to school if possible. we will look for today to see whether she gives a big thumbs up to getting the younger pupils, nursery school, first three years of

primary, and some senior secondary school students who have to do practical work for their pollen occasions, whether they get the green light to return next week. interesting that the expert panels have said a senior school pupils return, the small group, physical distancing will have to be in place on the bus to school and in the classrooms themselves. that leaves the vast majority of students still learning at home. a lot of parents will want to see if she says anything about that. if she does, it will be an indicative timetable and most people... i think it's unlikely they will be back for several more weeks. the numbers are coming down but experts are concerned the decline in covid—i9 cases may stalled just now. ? and you can see coverage of that statement from nicola sturgeon — after 2 o'clock this afternoon on the bbc news channel. the prime minister has

suggested that quick coronavirus testing could enable nightclubs and theatres to open. borisjohnson said that the �*rapid' lateral flow tests could be used by �*those parts of the economy we couldn't get open last year.�* with me now is our chief political correspondent adam fleming. is this true? when could it start happening? it is true it is being looked at and has been for quite a while, it is not the first time borisjohnson has mentioned it. it is likely there will be something about this in the government's road map for lifting the lockdown in england published next monday. whether there will be detail is another question. the idea is once you get big numbers of people vaccinated and you reduce the risk of coronavirus in the population, you can't look at the venues that have been too difficult to open, theatres, football matches and stuff like and you can make them more covid—i9 secure by having rapid

turnaround covid—i9 tastes like pregnancies hairstyle once. it is a combination of vaccine, other covid—i9 measures and more accurate test, meaning the whole package means you can open the venues again. here is how the vaccines minister described it. we have got 800,000 tests a day in pcr test from a standing start last year of being able to do 2000 tests a day. we have got a multiple of that in the lateral flow test, many millions more, so i think it's a combination of making sure we vaccinate and work with industry to deliver those testing rapid testing to be able to reopen some of those venues. that raises lots of

questions, legal, moral, ethical, employment law in terms of how businesses deploy the test and how it interacts with their employees and customers, but that is something for the medium term. it does not mean, the government is very clear on this, is the introduction of vaccine passports in the uk. ministers say absolutely no way will you have to show a certificate or an app you have to show a certificate or an app or a wristband to get access to services in the uk. you may have to show an app or certificate or a wristband when you travel abroad and that will be because governments around the world will demand proof that you have been vaccinated before you can visit their country. here is the details. at the moment, you have your health data which is held by the national immunisation and vaccination system which your gp has access to and of course, if you are on an nhs app you can look at your own health records. we want to make that certificate accessible

to people if they need it for international travel if those countries require it. we are not planning a domestic passport for our own domestic use. i cannot stress enough, this is not round the corner, this is much farther down the road. what a trendy corner as the prime minister's road map which is coming on monday which will be a very cautious relaxation of the restrictions in england because the government does not want people to look at millions of vaccines being very successfully and quickly rolled out and think that translates into a very quick of the lockdown. we are in the sport the long haul. lockdown. we are in the sport the lona haul. . ~ i. , lockdown. we are in the sport the lona haul. . ~' , . the duke and duchess of sussex are to give their first interview since stepping back from royal duties. they'll speak to oprah winfrey in a wide—ranging interview due to be aired by us broadcaster cbs next month.

the interview follows the news that prince harry and meghan markle are expecting their second child. well, we can speak now to journalist, commentator and biographer, angela levin, who has written the book �*harry: conversations with the prince�*. do you take this to mean they are not coming back to the royal family if they are giving this interview? meghan has no wish, the two of them seem to have made a load of money, they love living in california, it�*s very american which is what she is used to, harry was often very fed up with being a royal, especially behind william. he did not feel he had a huge role of his own. his aim was to go to africa and look after endangered species of animals, but it�*s not worked out what he�*d hoped for. here with meghan, he adores her

and would do whatever she says. before the wedding we heard he said what meghan wants, meghan gets. what what meghan wants, meghan gets. what do ou what meghan wants, meghan gets. what do you exoect — what meghan wants, meghan gets. what do you expect from the interview? she is a very good interviewer. she is not going to just ask about bias and climate change. she wants to know the nitty—gritty on a personal level and ifear very much know the nitty—gritty on a personal level and i fear very much that meghan seems to have a blind spot, when somebody according to her, intrude on her privacy, like she did with the mail on sunday, took them to court for breach of privacy, she does not seem to take that people might feel the same about what she says. she puts on a victim image as she did in south africa last

november that nobody asked her how she was and she was existing and not living. it seems to come in two boxes and she does not link them. i fear that the royal family will be very hard. they�*ve done their best, a £33 million wedding, even though it�*s her second marriage, there does not seem to be gratitude, she could not seem to be gratitude, she could not be where she was and why she married into the royalfamily because she was a sea great actress but now she is now the most famous woman in the world. the trouble is it is endless. we are doing this, we are doing that. we are getting sussex fatigue. it are doing that. we are getting sussex fatigue.— are doing that. we are getting sussex fatigue. it sounds like you are. do sussex fatigue. it sounds like you are- do you _ sussex fatigue. it sounds like you are. do you not _ sussex fatigue. it sounds like you are. do you not like _ sussex fatigue. it sounds like you are. do you not like meghan - sussex fatigue. it sounds like you - are. do you not like meghan markle? it's are. do you not like meghan markle? it�*s not whether i like her or not. when she joined the royal family i

thought she was a breath of fresh air, beautiful, intelligent, charming, they went around their first royal visit together and she looked so competent and wonderful. but she has a very, very nasty streak where she has got to win. how do ou streak where she has got to win. how do you know — streak where she has got to win. how do you know that? she _ streak where she has got to win. how do you know that? she just _ streak where she has got to win. how do you know that? she just goes - streak where she has got to win. how do you know that? she just goes on l do you know that? she 'ust goes on and on, do you know that? she 'ust goes on and she — do you know that? she 'ust goes on and on, she willh do you know that? she 'ust goes on and on, she will not _ do you know that? she just goes on and on, she will not let _ do you know that? she just goes on and on, she will not let people - do you know that? she just goes on and on, she will not let people do l and on, she will not let people do things that she doesn�*t want. if she doesn�*t get her own way, she walks out, on her husband, friends, her father. she has a very strong feeling, there is one person from her family at feeling, there is one person from herfamily at their wedding. feeling, there is one person from her family at their wedding. she falls out with people if they do not conform to what she wants. we have read a lot about that. you conform to what she wants. we have read a lot about that.— read a lot about that. you said that the interview _ read a lot about that. you said that the interview will _ read a lot about that. you said that the interview will be _ read a lot about that. you said that the interview will be grilled, - read a lot about that. you said that the interview will be grilled, but. the interview will be grilled, but she is a friend of theirs and lives not far from them in california.

what kind of problems this interview... reported as wide—ranging and intimate, what kind of problems it might cause with the royal palace and if there is no way back for them? it royal palace and if there is no way back for them?— royal palace and if there is no way back for them? it depends what she sa s. back for them? it depends what she says- oprah — back for them? it depends what she says. oprah winfrey _ back for them? it depends what she says. oprah winfrey has _ back for them? it depends what she says. oprah winfrey has demoted . back for them? it depends what she i says. oprah winfrey has demoted the coffee that meghan has made an investment into which somebody said was worth £1 million of publicity. she only met meghan once before the wedding, she said they had not met before that. i think she is very professional and will do lots of nice things but she will probe, i don�*t think we know what that is. the royal palace will be dignified as they usually are and may not say anything, but it�*s very hurtful. she

go of things, they have kept it open for a year, they have made a very good go at it earning millions. they do not need that to pull back on. i think it will be taken away and quite rightly. think it will be taken away and quite rightly-— think it will be taken away and uuite riuhtl. . , . quite rightly. thank you very much. you can send _ quite rightly. thank you very much. you can send me _ quite rightly. thank you very much. you can send me a _ quite rightly. thank you very much. you can send me a message - quite rightly. thank you very much. you can send me a message on - you can send me a message on instagram or twitter. british servicemen and women who were stripped of their medals because of their sexuality have been told they can apply to get them back. the move comes after the ban on lgbt people in the military was lifted in 2000.0ur home affairs correspondent, june kelly, reports. he loved his life at sea. he was part of the task force that sailed to the south atlantic in the falklands and tours of duty and

losing access to free school meals meant many children risked going hungry during half—term. but following a campaign by footballer marcus rashford, eligible children now receive a shopping voucher or food parcel instead. john maguire has been looking at the impact it�*s having. come rain, shine or snow, zane powles is out pounding the pavements of grimsby. how was today? tough, hard work, really hard work. but got through, did it, so that�*s what it�*s all about. getting the kids fed, seeing the parents, supporting them, doing my thing. can you show me your knee? i�*ve got an ice pack underneath, so i�*ve got compression and ice, just to ease some of the pain. the primary school teacher�*s carried thousands of free lunches to those who need them and walked hundreds of miles during the lockdowns. he delivers notjust food but also computers and pastoral support to his pupils and theirfamilies.

the food is almost a way in, a way in, not physically into the house, but it�*s the connection. so they have to open the door to me. so that allows me to chat to them and make sure things are ok. i was sorting out a relationship issue, the fella had left the mum because he�*d had enough. the pressure of the work was too much, they were arguing all the time. so i was sorting out that. i went to another house, i was doing long division, i was doing long division for year six. so it�*s that that you do at the door, the stuff you didn�*t know you was going to do, can�*t be done on the phone. 0ne grateful mum recorded this message of thanks. this lockdown has been very hard on me because i'm a single parent and teaching my youngest child who's got hidden disabilities has been a right challenge. seeing zane every day has been a help because it gives us a bit of normality. i really do appreciate it. and with the hampers that we've been getting, that has been even more of a help. but in half term, it�*s a different system.

at blackburn market, traders are accepting vouchers forfamilies to use, provided by councils under the covid winter grant scheme, rather than through schools. they were used at christmas and have proved popular with shoppers and traders. it�*s difficultjust to make ends meet, isn�*t it? so it�*s a good lift for them. i get supplies from the local farmers, so there�*s a money go—around. it creates a money go—around so that money stays within certain areas. and if we are all supporting each other, it creates its own little micro economy. people that wouldn't usually shop on a market are getting the chance to come and shop on a market as opposed to where they would usually shop, and going into big business. it's just brilliant all—round. marcus rashford�*s high—profile campaign to feed those children most in need during school holidays has received widespread support. he�*s one of my heroes of the last year. to say that about a kid who�*s

in his early 20s is amazing. james bates runs maray restaurants in liverpool. they�*ve donated thousands of meals to people in need over the past year and he believes his industry should help out when it can. you know, hopefully we won�*t be shut for too much longer but over the next few months, if we can use that capacity to get food out where it�*s needed. and then beyond that as well, a lot of restaurants are shut on monday, so can we use the spare capacity then? i think it�*s about thinking a little bit smarter in the future, how to use that capacity to do a bit of good in the community because it�*s needed and it�*s going to be needed for a long time to come. so, there�*s a will, but what about a way? adam roberts set up 0pen kitchens as a way to coordinate restaurants and has provided more than a quarter of a million meals. it�*s a tech solution to a perpetual problem. and has now been launched to help schools feed their pupils. with covid, a lot of people for the first time are needing this help.

and there�*s a lot of people who are trapped and isolated who can�*t get to food banks. so i think getting food to the people who need it most is critical and the schools are a key partner in doing that and that�*s a big initiative for us, is effectively providing a logistical service to schools to support their children that need it. issues can be complex and controversial but where children are going hungry, many in our communities are stepping forward to feed them. john maguire, bbc news. coronavirus has forced many people out of work and have left some really struggling. the first 6 months of the pandemic saw a 47% increase in demand for the services of foodbanks according to the trussell trust, and with no return to full normality for a whikle at least, many more people could be still be adversely affected. let�*s speak now to abbie butcher, secretary and volunteer of amazing graze soup kitchen in blackpool.

she says they�*ve provided 400 meals a week during the pandemic; also rajesh makwana, director, sufra nw london, a food bank charity in brent and thank you for talking to us. tell our audience about your service. we are a soup kitchen but during lockdown we have been covering people in isolation due to covid—19, we have also covered people who are homeless and hotels, some people are still sleeping on the streets, more families than would be used to, and anybody who is vulnerable really. t anybody who is vulnerable really. i know originally your soup kitchen catered for people who were homeless. what kind of people have been queueing up for a meal since the pandemic? tt been queueing up for a meal since the pandemic?—

some of those shares could be heavy and thundery with temperatures reaching about 13 degrees. through this evening and overnight, eventually that rain clears, our showers move into the north sea, then there is a lull behind them where we have a lot of dry weather before the next band of rain comes in. some of those will be heavy and it still is going to be pretty windy. temperatures a little bit lower than the nightjust gone. as we head through tomorrow, there is a band of rain eventually makes it over to the east, but look at this curl in the south bringing more rain into southern areas including the channel islands and moving northwards. for the rest of the uk, it�*s sunshine and showers but still pretty windy in the north—west. hello, this is bbc news. i�*m victoria derbyshire. let�*s bring you the headlines. nicola sturgeon is due to announce later how scotland will begin to emerge from lockdown — and whether a phased return to school can start next week.

the latest number of excess deaths for england and wales are about to be released — and may give a sign of how soon lockdown restrictions could be lifted. questions over who is prioritised as the vaccine roll—out extends to people in at—risk groups — dj jo whiley asks why she�*s been offered the jab before her vulnerable sister prince harry and meghan are going to give a tv interview to oprah winfrey. sport, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. england captainjoe root conceded his side were well beaten by india in the second test in chennai. the hosts won by a massive 317 runs, with more than a day to spare, to level the series. it was always going to be an uphill task, with england needing an unlikely a82 to win. dan lawrence was removed with ravi ashwin�*s first ball of the day —

he�*s had a brilliant match with a century and eight wickets. root put up some resistance but he went for 33, england not coping well with the conditions, and india were really impressive, kuldeep yadav outwitting moeen ali. that levels the series at one—all. let�*s be honest, we�*ve been outplayed in all departments, it�*s important we learn, it�*s a bit of an education, we look at the surface that has spanned a huge amount, more than you�*d anticipate. take it forward, take it as a learning, and make sure we are better for it next time and experience to be my similar. chelsea�*s timo werner ended a run of 1a league games without a goal, to help his side back

into the top four. he had a hand in 0livier giroud�*s goal that gave them the lead over newcastle, and he then scored himself — his first in the league since early november. it finished 2—0, leaving chelsea still unbeaten under new manager thomas tuchel — and werner gave his fellow—german the credit for his return to form. it�*s helped me that somebody scream at me in german and kicking my ass that i run on the pitch. no, he�*s a really kind guy, and a really good idea of football, i think, you can see it on the pitch very well at the moment, but when we have more time, when we have more practising and more training sessions to get the whole team with him, i think we can get better and better and, yeah, good to see that. west ham are level on points with chelsea after a comfortable 3—0 win over bottom side sheffield united — substitute ryan fredericks putting away their third deep into stoppage time. the champions league is back tonight. liverpool face the german side

rb leipzig in budapest. the match has been moved to due to covid travel restrictions. it�*s been a tough few weeks for liverpool managerjurgen klopp, with his mother sadly passing away last week. fans have been concerned about him, especially as pressure has mounted with three consecutive losses in the premier league. klopp has said he�*s fine and doesn�*t need a break from football. of course, we are influenced by things that happen around, but nobody has to worry about me or whatever. i honestly, i might not look like this, because the weather is not cool, and i�*m white, and the grey gets... ..the beard gets more and more grey, all these kind of things, yes, i don�*t sleep a lot, that�*s all true, and my eyes look like — that�*s all fine, but i�*m full of energy. gordon reid and alfie hewett have retained their wheelchair doubles title at the australian open — that�*s the pair�*s 10th grand slam, and equals a british record that�*s stood for over a century. 0n court right now,

is serena williams, looking for her 24th grand slam crown, against world number two simona halep. williams took the first set 6—3 . and she�*s broken serve in the second to lead 5—3. williams has won this title seven times. halep has yet to get her name on the trophy. the winner will play naomi 0saka, who tookjust over an hour to cruise into the semi—finals, dropping only four games to beat taiwan�*s hsieh su—wei. and a back injury ended the hopes of 18th seed grigor dimitrov. after taking the first set, he could barely serve as he lost in four to the russian qualifier aslan karatsev — who�*s the first man to reach the semi—finals of a grand slam on his debut. dimitrov clearly in pain as he left the court.

that�*s all the sport for now. radio 2 dj jo whiley says she has been offered a vaccine — before her sister frances — who has a learning disability and diabetes and lives in residential care. it comes as the vaccine roll—out extends to the over 65�*s and people between 16 and 65 with underlying helath conditions. data from public health england showed that 6 out of 10 people who died from coronavirus up to november last year had a disability — that�*s around 30,000 out of 50,000. here�*sjo whiley. it feels like it�*s been a very long wait for the vaccine to get round to her, and on thursday night i got the call that i�*ve been dreading, and that saying that they have about your blood running cold, we found out that covid had hit her care home, there was an outbreak of covid in the home, and she had been due to come home and be with mum and dad, and that had to — that was not allowed. she had to stay where she is. she is at risk of having covid,

she is being tested daily at the moment, and we arejust... you know, all i think about all the time at the moment is, god, i hope her next test is negative, i hope your next test is negative and i hope everyone in the care home is ok, and... the effect on her mental health is quite extreme, as well, because she was so excited about seeing us, she�*s finding it very difficult to comprehend why she can�*t see us anyway. she is very distressed, she has now gone into quite a slump, to be honest with you. she refused to speak to my parents over the weekend for the first time in her entire life, in her 53 years. she didn�*t want to speak to anyone. she�*s quite angry, she is quite confused, and whereas i�*m used to her calling me, like, 30 times a day, she�*s not calling me any more, and that is quite weird. we�*ve done everything. myself and my parents and the home have done everything we can to try and facilitate the vaccine coming into the people who need it the most. she is in tier 6, but she also has diabetes, quite bad diabetes, which, my understanding, puts her in tier 4, because she has an underlying health condition, so, i would have thought that she should have been vaccinated, she should have received it,

but that hasn�*t happened. i suppose what i�*m doing is just wanting to speak up to people like frances, like the people that live in her care home, who have been overlooked, because this happens so often — people with learning difficulties are neglected. they haven�*t got a voice, they haven�*t got anybody there, just badgering everybody saying, what about me? you know, help me out here. and, oh, my god, ican�*t tell you how frustrating it is and how horrendous it is. the stuff of nightmares at the moment. joining me this morning is adele harris who is from the learning disability charity mencap. my my understanding is that if you have a severe learning disability during group six, but if you have a mild and moderate disability, you�*re not being prioritised. is that correct? that is correct, but one of the reasons thatjo and others like her are speaking so passionately on this issue at the moment is that the

definition of severe and profound learning disability in definition of severe and profound learning disabili_ learning disability in our view is imprecise. _ learning disability in our view is imprecise, and _ learning disability in our view is imprecise, and putting - learning disability in our view is imprecise, and putting these i imprecise, and putting these definitions is irrelevant in view of the horrifying statistics we�*ve seen both in public health england and others. if you a learning disability, full stop, however you define it, you are six times more likely to die of covid, we cannot understand how the government is not just including all people with a learning disability. it would also result in a much smoother vaccine rather, because at the moment, gps, who are in such pressure, have to decide whether people are in these categories are not. t put decide whether people are in these categories are not.— categories are not. i put these fitures categories are not. i put these figures to _ categories are not. i put these figures to a — categories are not. i put these figures to a member _ categories are not. i put these figures to a member of - categories are not. i put these figures to a member of the - categories are not. i put these i figures to a member of the joint vaccination and immunisation

committee yesterday, a professor of paediatrics, because it does seem like it doesn�*t make sense, and he said he hadn�*t seen the data. is that a possibility, or could itjust be a blind spot about learning disabilities?— be a blind spot about learning disabilities? , , ., ., ., disabilities? this is our fear, that even before _ disabilities? this is our fear, that even before any _ disabilities? this is our fear, that even before any of _ disabilities? this is our fear, that even before any of us _ disabilities? this is our fear, that even before any of us had - disabilities? this is our fear, that even before any of us had heard l disabilities? this is our fear, that i even before any of us had heard the word covid, that people with a learning disability suffered huge health inequalities and were up to... sorry, they died much earlier than the general population, even before we introduced the worldwide pandemic, and i don�*t know that individual person and why he would not have seen the data, but we have been pushing the data, as have other disability organisations in front of the care minister, in front of the vaccination minister, in front of people who represent that committee, in fact, in front of everyone we can think of, so they have access to the data, and we just don�*t understand

why they won�*t change the criteria for at this critical time and put people like jo�*s for at this critical time and put people likejo�*s sister higher in the priority list. people like jo's sister higher in the priority list.— people like jo's sister higher in the priority list. they could say, ok, group _ the priority list. they could say, ok. group six. _ the priority list. they could say, ok, group six, the _ the priority list. they could say, ok, group six, the biggest i the priority list. they could say, | ok, group six, the biggest group the priority list. they could say, i ok, group six, the biggest group out 0k, group six, the biggest group out of everyone to be vaccinated, they could just say everybody with a disability in group six. absolutely, and we just _ disability in group six. absolutely, and we just don't _ disability in group six. absolutely, and we just don't understand, i disability in group six. absolutely, i and we just don't understand, based and we just don�*t understand, based on the data and statistics why they won�*t do that, and as i say, at the moment, in england, there is a disability register, but not everybody with a learning disability is on the register, so what we are encouraging, and nhs england is encouraging, and nhs england is encouraging, is that if you have a learning disability or your family or somebody has them disability and you haven�*t been called forward for a vaccination, contact your gp and asked to be part of the learning disability register, and we are seeing gps using their discretion

around the country, fortunately, not in frances�*s area, sadly, but in 0xfordshire and kent, for example, where they are given the vaccine as priority to everyone who has a learning disability.— priority to everyone who has a learning disability. thank you very much, learning disability. thank you very much. edel. _ learning disability. thank you very much, edel, and _ learning disability. thank you very much, edel, and to _ learning disability. thank you very much, edel, and to repeat- learning disability. thank you very much, edel, and to repeat that i much, edel, and to repeat that statistic, people with a learning disability are dying from covid—19 at six times the rate of others. six times the rate. so, pressure mounting to include people with disabilities, all people with disabilities, all people with disabilities, in the group six priority group. some breaking news from the 0ns, these are the latest figures from the 0ns of people dying with covid—19 registered on their death certificate, and the headline is that the number of deaths is falling. still a total of 7820 deaths registered in england and wales in the week ending february

the 5th. these figures are always a couple of weeks behind the daily figures we get from the government, but a total of 7820 deaths registered in england and wales in the week ending february the 5th registered on the death certificate, according to the office for national statistics, and down 20% on the week before. we can talk to our head of statistics in the next few minutes. thank you for your messages about food banks, we were talking about them just before the headlines. this from a woman who says, i am an artist and i became homeless four years ago, and i�*m still going to food banks now. initially i used to cry about it, but now i�*m used to it. i am one of the women who missed out on pensions. i have food banks,

but until i get my pension it�*s not enough to live on. i plod on, i have had no heating or hot waterfor ten days now. i have a statement from the government about the use of food banks in what they�*re doing help people. we are committed to supporting the lowest paid families during the pandemic, so we have put hundreds of billions of sportjobs and introducing the 170 million covid winter grant scheme which will see every councillor in england keep vulnerable children woman fed during the february half term. some of the biggest names in british theatre including damejulie walters, sir ian mckellen and patrick stewart have added their names to an open letter urging the government to ensure visa—free work in the eu. they say new visa rules, post—brexit are a "towering hurdle" that must urgently be addressed. mps on the culture, media and sport committee will hear evidence from musicians

and artists this morning. let�*s talk to self—employed professional folk singer iona fyfe. hello to you, good morning. before brexit you are able to tour in europe these are free, but now? absolutely. now it�*s not going to be frictionless. each member state requires individual work permits and visas. there is a lot of bureaucracy, it is a financial and logistical nightmare, and it will put people off, or not allow people to go to tour in europe, and that is really important from grassroots musicians like myself, as one of the big names. musicians like myself, as one of the bi names. ., . ., ., , musicians like myself, as one of the big names-— big names. elton john has been bantain big names. elton john has been banging on _ big names. elton john has been banging on about _ big names. elton john has been banging on about this, - big names. elton john has been banging on about this, as i big names. elton john has been banging on about this, as well. | banging on about this, as well. touring in europe used to make up a decent proportion of your earnings as a folk singer?—

yeah, it would be reciprocal, so, european musicians, most likely, will have the same barrier to restrictions in place as uk musicians. visas, work permits, it�*s most likely that european musicians mightjust most likely that european musicians might just leave the most likely that european musicians mightjust leave the uk off of their tour schedule, and it is a huge shame for our domestic audiences, who will be able to access live music from european artists, and their ability to access cultural diversity through live music will diminish, and concerning. also, going abroad to other festivals, meeting singers from other traditions in different languages and cultures, that is a huge part of why musicians love the tour abroad, so not being able to do that frictionless is a huge cultural loss, as well.— frictionless is a huge cultural loss, as well. , . , , ., loss, as well. this, as i understand it, this loss, as well. this, as i understand it. this area — loss, as well. this, as i understand it, this area was _ loss, as well. this, as i understand it, this area was left _ loss, as well. this, as i understand it, this area was left out _ loss, as well. this, as i understand it, this area was left out of- loss, as well. this, as i understand it, this area was left out of the i it, this area was left out of the brexit negotiations between the uk and the eu. what you want the

considering proposals put forward by the industry. the vaccine roll—out is well under way, with over 15 million people receiving their firstjab — and the first target to offer a jab to the top four priority groups met. the next target is to vaccinate everybody over the age of the 50 and those who are clincally vulnerable by the end of april. jayne mccubbin takes a look at how the roll—out is going so far. day by day, minute by minute, thousands have become millions. and with every individualjab, we inch ever closer to some kind of a national recovery. now it�*s the turn of the 65—to—69—year—olds. 0h, brilliant. i got contacted by my own surgery. i booked the time slot straightaway. that got confirmed straightaway. it was literally all done in minutes. john in boston is 67. you know, really, really on the ball. absolutely delighted. it�*s the way out of all this. diane and malcolm in exeter are 69.

very good indeed, actually, yeah. i hate jabs anyway, but this one went very well. you just look the other way. but we were really looking forward to it and we've i been waiting every day to get it, really. - the second phase of the vaccination programme is also for the clinically vulnerable, like kerry thompson. hugely important because it�*s been a long time since i�*ve left my house. so i haven�*t actually left my home since the beginning of march last year. i managed to get out probably five times in the summer period, but that was only very local — five minutes down the road — so i�*ve pretty much been cooped up in my own home. everyone is really grateful and excited to have been able to come through, and actually relieved that they've been able to get their vaccination at this time. we've vaccinated so many people from cohorts one to four and we're still continuing to vaccinate those — so it would be really great if you haven't had your vaccination yet to go on the nhs website

and book online. some over—80s are still playing catch—up. in plymouth, duncan neale receives his vaccine in the football ground where he used to play midfield. can�*t understand anybody really not wanting it because you�*d be saving other people�*s lives as well as your own, and putting less work on the nhs. they work 24/7 now around the clock to get this country back on its feet, so get the jab — that�*s my advice. over in leeds�* elland road stadium, the vaccination centre was built in weeks to vaccinate 6,000 people a week, but supplies here are being restricted. they�*ve been a victim, they believe, of their own success. we were first to start our vaccination programme, and we�*ve been really successful in vaccinating loads of people. and the whole country needs to come up at the same level. nobody must be left behind. so i suspect the reason that we�*re not receiving so many vaccines this week and next week is to enable

other parts of the country to catch us up. but so many hope this moment will help them catch up on a life they once had — like amanda, due to get herjab today. ijust kept ringing my gp and i still got nowhere. and this morning i phoned about 10.15 and they said that i could go to the local town hall and have it done. so i'm glad i'm having it done because i miss my family, i miss my friends, and i'm fed up of staying indoors because i've been shielding for a very long time. sir simon stevens, the head of the nhs, said this was the second sprint in the vaccination programme — the race to protect the most vulnerable. but he said it will be rolled out twice as fast as the first phase.

the aim — 30 million jabs delivered by the end of april. the marathon still lies ahead. thank you for your messages this morning. i do try and read them all, i can�*t read them all out on the television. this is about the priority groups, this is from dp, who said her mum received a letter from her doctor�*s surgery since she wasn�*t eligible, even though she had been diagnosed with colon cancer. her husband was so upset, that he called his local mp to see if he could change things. never or e—mails to say that watching the feature on food banks has inspired him to give to his local salford food bank. he is fortunate, because

he has some extra cash. people should be stigmatised pertaining to food banks, it�*s not theirfault. a number of letters about the interview with harry. it�*s sad to see how spiteful and judgmental some are about meghan markle and her so—called hot over harry, it�*s completely unnecessary and frankly shocking that your guest mentioned she had been married before. it constantly mention, is 2021, and she is not the only royal that has been married more than once. at the end of the day, her private life it is none of our business, she wants to walk away from certain people in her lie, it�*s her decision and good luck to her. thank you for those. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. although it�*s a much milder week this week compared to last week, doesn�*t mean that it�*s necessarily dry, because this week we are also looking at periods of rain, some showers, and it�*s going to be windy. in fact, we got most of that

happening today, so, feeling mild, mild for the time of year. sunshine and showers, some of those showers heavy and thundery, and we have also got this band of rain continuing to push down into east anglia and the south—east, and here it will be slow to clear, but behind it we are into sunshine and showers, and, don�*t forget, some of those heavy and thundery. 0ut towards the west, fairly gusty winds, particularly the north—west, where we could have gusts of 65—70 miles an hour, and temperatures 8 to about 13 degrees, so, above average for this stage in february. now, as we head through the evening and overnight, eventually we see the end of that rain moves away. the showers continue to push into the north sea, and we have got a drier slot, before the next band of rain sweeps in from the west. still windy conditions, and temperatures just down a touch compared to last night. perhaps even low enough, locally, in north—east scotland, for a touch of frost. as we go through the course of tomorrow, you can see how our fronts move from the west towards the east, where, if we follow this one,

we have got this curl coming in back in across the channel islands and also southern england. the isobars tell you that it is going to be another windy day, especially with exposure in the west. so, there goes the rain, heading over towards the north sea. here�*s the curl bringing it back into the channel islands, southern england, south wales getting in towards the midlands. 0ut towards the west, there will be showers, but there will be a lot of dry weather, as well, and also some sunshine, with highs 7 to about 12 degrees. now, as we head on into thursday, we still have rain moving from the west towards the east, and look how it curls back across scotland. there will be some snow in the hills in scotland above about 300, 400 metres, and our temperature range 7 to 11 degrees, so, down just a touch compared to tuesday and wednesday. as for the outlook, well, into friday, saturday and sunday, we are not done with the rain just yet. there is further rain in the forecast for some of us, but one thing of note is the temperatures. the temperatures are climbing. so, in the north, by the time we get to sunday, we are looking at 11 or 12, but somewhere in the south, particularly the south—east,

could get as high as 17, and it looks like the mild weather will continue into next week.
