good morning, welcome to bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are the headlines this monday morning. borisjohnson will today reveal more details of his plan to gradually release england from lockdown. schools in england will open to all children from march the 8th. some younger pupils in scotland and wales are going back to class this morning. we've been working with schools to make sure we deliver that reopening safely. and i think that the majority of the teaching profession think it's the right thing to do. children are our priority. more outdoor socialising will be allowed, with the rule of six making a return just before easter. but pubs, shops and restaurants will have to wait a little longer. let me know what you make of the plans to come out of lockdown. how do you feel about the prospect of lockdown easing? let me know — on twitter it's

@vicderbyshire, or you can email victoria@bbc.co.uk. boeing recommends dozens of its 777 planes be grounded, over an engine fault which sparked an emergency landing in colorado at the weekend. vast crowds in myanmar fill the streets as part of a general strike against the military coup earlier this month. also coming up this hour, we'll speak to model and former love island contestant zara mcdermott about how she was affected by revenge porn, aged just 1a. good morning. borisjohnson will announce his road map for lifting lockdown today, as infections decrease and the vaccine programme
9:02 am
continues to roll out. the government's confirmed this morning that all pupils will return to school in england on march 8th. phased returns are planned in the rest of the uk. younger children are going back today in scotland and wales, with northern ireland's schools partially reopening in march. the prime minister is also expected to announce that, from march 29th, six people or two households can meet outdoors, including in private gardens. outdoor sports could also return. mrjohnson will share his plans in full with mps in the house of commons at 3.30 this afternoon, followed by a press conference at seven this evening. helen catt reports. it's been seven weeks since everyone in england was told, once again, to stay—at—home. later, borisjohnson will set out how he plans to start opening things up again. but he has warned his road map will be cautious. that means it is likely it will be some time yet before we are back in the shops, hairdressers or the pub. it is understood the road map will be built around four phases,
9:03 am
each separated by several weeks. phase one starts on march 8th. it is understood all schools will reopen to all pupils, despite teaching unions�* concerns. there might be a few days of flexibility built in, but not the sort of phased return that scotland, wales and northern ireland have chosen. outdoor clubs and activities run by schools can restart, too. allowing friends and family to start meeting again is also expected in phase one. so, from the 8th of march, care home residents will be allowed to see one regular visitor indoors. it is also expected that two people will be allowed to meet in a public outdoor space for coffee, chat or picnic instead of just for exercise. later in the first phase, on march 29, it is understood that groups of six, or two households, will be able to meet up. it will have to be outdoors, but it can be in a private garden. sports such as golf, tennis and grass roots football are expected to again, too. it is at this point it is thought that the instruction to stay at home will finally be lifted. but staying overnight elsewhere
9:04 am
is still likely to be banned. health leaders have backed caution. what we don't want to see is that the health services come under the pressure that we have seen before. so what we are suggesting is we take baby steps out of this to ensure that some of the systems and detail that we are giving people are correct. remember, we came out of this once before and absolutely it didn't work very well for us. we actually had to go into lockdown very soon after. but keeping restrictions causes economic and social damage. for the many businesses that have been forced to shut, it is understood the road map will set out a lot more detail on when and how they can open again. the prime minister will present his plans to mps this afternoon and then again in a news conference at seven o'clock this evening. helen catt, bbc news. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is at westminster. it is good to get some confirmation

swabs, where they can get into the classroom. labourare swabs, where they can get into the classroom. labour are pointing out that may be more should be done to ensure that teachers and pupils are totally, totally safe. here is jonathan ashworth. we will continue to push him to put in place _ we will continue to push him to put in place those measures around testing. — in place those measures around testing, ground ventilation, guidance around mask wearing, the plans— guidance around mask wearing, the plans to _ guidance around mask wearing, the plans to vaccinate teachers and teaching — plans to vaccinate teachers and teaching assistants. the last thing we want _ teaching assistants. the last thing we want is — teaching assistants. the last thing we want is to reopen schools for all pupils— we want is to reopen schools for all purfils and — we want is to reopen schools for all pupils and then many pupils are sent home _ pupils and then many pupils are sent home because we have another outbreak— home because we have another outbreak of the virus. and if you look at the road map as a whole rather than the individual measures, i think the main thing i would say is that it is going to be very, very gradual. we understand that the gap between each of the four steps might be about five weeks, so this is a process that is going to last for several months. thank you. adam fleming at westminster.
9:08 am
today's road map will outline the four conditions that must be met for lockdown in england to be eased. downing street said the four tests are currently being met, so the first stage on march 8th can go ahead. but the government will look at the data in between every phase of lifting lockdown to assess the impact of previous changes. the four conditions that must be met are: the vaccine programme continues to go to plan. evidence shows that the vaccines are sufficiently reducing the number of people dying from the virus or needing hospital treatment. infection rates do not risk a surge in hospital admissions. and new variants of the virus do not fundamentally change the risk of lifting restrictions. let's talk about how nhs front line staff are feeling ahead of that road map. tim mitchell, a consultant ear nose and throat surgeon, and vice president of the royal college of surgeons of england. hello to you. how do you feel about the prospect of restrictions easing? i think the most important thing to bearin i think the most important thing to bear in mind is the pressure on the health service at the moment is still enormous. although we are
9:09 am
seeing numbers of patients in hospitals coming down, we are still very much at the sort of level that we were at the peak, at the top of the first peak. so the pressure on the first peak. so the pressure on the health service and the staff working in it is still very great indeed. it's very important that any restrictions are only lifted without putting extra strain on the health service. ., , putting extra strain on the health service. . , " :: :: :: service. there are still 19,000 covid-19 patients _ service. there are still 19,000 covid-19 patients in _ service. there are still 19,000 covid-19 patients in hospital. | service. there are still 19,000 i covid-19 patients in hospital. can covid—i9 patients in hospital. can you give our audience some insight as to what it is like in hospitals and intensive care unit at the moment?— and intensive care unit at the moment? , ,, ., , ., , moment? the pressure on hospitals has very much _ moment? the pressure on hospitals has very much been _ moment? the pressure on hospitals has very much been on _ moment? the pressure on hospitals has very much been on intensive - moment? the pressure on hospitals. has very much been on intensive care units, and the emergency departments and on the areas of the hospital dealing with patients who have covid. in order to deal with the huge number of patients there has been an expansion of those facilities, so the number of intensive beds within each hospital has been increased. the number of wards dealing with covid patients you don't need intensive care has also increased. and in order to
9:10 am
support those services, it has been necessary to redeploy staff from other areas in the hospital. anaesthetists, theatre staff, etc. the pressure on those staff has been enormous. they have had a really brutal year and very traumatising. one shouldn't underestimate the pressure on the staff. idea? one shouldn't underestimate the pressure on the staff. new hospital admissions are _ pressure on the staff. new hospital admissions are declining _ pressure on the staff. new hospital admissions are declining now? - pressure on the staff. new hospital| admissions are declining now? yes, and that is very _ admissions are declining now? yes, and that is very good _ admissions are declining now? yes and that is very good news but admissions are declining now? 123 and that is very good news but we are still at very high numbers in hospital. i think we should be very cautious about the prospect of reducing any restrictions until those numbers come down significantly.— those numbers come down significantly. those numbers come down sianificantl . �* ~ �* ., significantly. the bma, the union for doctors. _ significantly. the bma, the union for doctors, has _ significantly. the bma, the union for doctors, has called _ significantly. the bma, the union for doctors, has called for - significantly. the bma, the union for doctors, has called for easing | for doctors, has called for easing to wait until new infections dip below 1000 a day. the present seven day averages 11,500. do you agree with the bma?— day averages 11,500. do you agree with the bma? ultimately these are decisions that _ with the bma? ultimately these are decisions that are _ with the bma? ultimately these are decisions that are made _ with the bma? ultimately these are decisions that are made by - with the bma? ultimately these are decisions that are made by the - decisions that are made by the government. my view is that we need to ensure we don't see numbers go up again. it would be a disasterfor
9:11 am
the country and the health service if we were put into it —— if we went into a third peak, putting further pressure on hospital services. the other important thing to bear in mind is that the routine work that hospitals do has been very much restricted because of the need to treat patients with covid. so for instance, we have 11.5 million people on the waiting list for surgery. we know the numbers have increased. over 200,000 people now waiting more than 12 months for surgery. and so if we see a further increase in patients in hospital with covid, that will put further pressure is and people will be waiting even longer for and people will be waiting even longerfor their and people will be waiting even longer for their vital surgery. thank you for talking longerfor their vital surgery. thank you for talking to us. tim mitchell, vice president of the royal college of surgeons inning that. that's in england. schools in wales have reopened today for the youngest pupils in the first step of a phased reopening. some vocational pupils on courses that need practical learning have
9:12 am
also gone back. let's speak to our wales correspondent tomos morgan who's at a school in penarth. what is happening there? this school just outside penarth hasjust opened. we have children up to seven years old. it is a phased return in wales of primary schoolchildren. the rest of primary schoolchildren will hopefully be coming back on the 15th of march, as long as things keep moving in the right direction. so say the welsh government. that means can —— vaccination rates continue to go in the same way. and transmission rates continue to come down. at that point somehow schoolchildren may come back to school as well. you might be able to see just behind me the reception class. i don't know if you can see through the glass there. many of them dressed as dinosaurs today. a way to get them back in the mood, back to school after such a long period. the protocols and

9:24 am
streets, at least in the areas they are protesting, for several streets back. so you are talking about possibly hundreds of thousands in the big cities, certainly many thousands in other cities. and in some towns a complete and total shutdown of all commercial life. no shops, no markets, nothing virtually at all. i don't know how complete that is. we know that up north all commercial life is totally stopped. maybe less so in yangon. this is an impressive show, this general strike. it is an attempt to show the military they don't have any public support. as a visual show of defiance it does not get bigger. jonathan head. 25 past nine. now the weather. hello again. yesterday we had the warmest day of the year so far. the temperature reached 15.9 celsius in norfolk. today we don't expect it to get that high because we have a weak

9:39 am
many businesses tell me they cannot make the numbers add up, because they're talking about revenues of 38-40%, if they're talking about revenues of 38—40%, if there are still limits on group gatherings, limits on how many people can sit within doors. even if you have a beer garden or some sort of outdoor space, only 40% of pubs and restaurants have that, and that could includejust and restaurants have that, and that could include just a and restaurants have that, and that could includejust a couple and restaurants have that, and that could include just a couple of tables on the pavement. by no means is this a return to full service. they are making revenues of between 30 and 40% than the summer, they need 70% just to break even. i spoke to a restaurant owner who owns a chain of russians in london, he says there operating —— a chain of restaurants, they are operating takeaway, they want to keep staff in employment and training levels up, but are operating at a loss. staff have been on for a lover may be a year, may be rusty, all of this

that i had committed a criminal offence by creating child pornography, so it was honestly one of the worst experiences, or the worst experience of my life. i felt completely isolated, alone and also i felt like i was the criminal. your 11wear-old _ i felt like i was the criminal. your 11-year-old brother _ i felt like i was the criminal. your 11-year-old brother was - i felt like i was the criminal. your 11-year-old brother was also - i felt like i was the criminal. your ii—year—old brother was also sent 11—year—old brother was also sent it, a classmatemike mum knocked on your door and told your parents they should be ashamed of themselves, a boy held his phone up at the window of your history class with an image of your history class with an image of it. how did it affect the relationship with your family? to be honest, it relationship with your family? to be honest. it was _ relationship with your family? to be honest, it was a _ relationship with your family? to be honest, it was a really _ relationship with your family? to be honest, it was a really tough - relationship with your family? to be honest, it was a really tough time. | honest, it was a really tough time. at 14 honest, it was a really tough time. at 1a you're just honest, it was a really tough time. at 1a you'rejust approaching honest, it was a really tough time. at 1a you're just approaching into that kind of teenage error of your life, figuring out who you are —— teenage era. my parents took the lead from my school, my school were punishing me for what had happened, and my parents were, i was their
9:46 am
first child, they thought... this authority think she should be punished, therefore i guess my parents were really confused, didn't know what to do, not that may be they should be following that, but it didn't follow their parental instincts. it did affect my family and i end this something that we didn't really speak about, and we definitely brushed under the carpet for nine years and we speak about it as a family for the first time in this documentary. it was a really powerful moment. br; this documentary. it was a really powerful moment.— this documentary. it was a really powerful moment. by the way, the school has said _ powerful moment. by the way, the school has said that _ powerful moment. by the way, the school has said that if _ powerful moment. by the way, the school has said that if something i school has said that if something like this were to happen now it would happen very —— would be handled very differently and they're safeguarding teams are very different now than in 2011 and have specific policies for peer on peer abuse. after you in love island, next boyfriend shared naked photos of you again, why did he share them?
9:47 am
i think the reasons to why he share them where a similar reason as to what happen when i was 1a, it is a large culture, i think. guys see it as a bit of a prized possession that they had this or these images of women, i'm not saying it doesn't happen to men as well, but mostly women, and they tend to show off to their friends women, and they tend to show off to theirfriends and say, women, and they tend to show off to their friends and say, look at these images i have got. what happened to me when i was 21 is i think the guy share these images amongst before i went on to love island and then went i went on to the island some months later his friends remember they had these images of me and they got shared through whatsapp group chats. your as in the documentary after what happened to you at 1a, why would you trust another boy with naked images of yourself a second time? ., ., ~ , time? yeah, and i think definitely that is something _ time? yeah, and i think definitely that is something i _ time? yeah, and i think definitely that is something i have - time? yeah, and i think definitely l that is something i have questioned and think about my documentary, but
9:48 am
to all those people that would probably say that, i think, first of all, when you're in that situation, it is a moment you have, an intimate moment you share with two people any relationship. i think it is completely normal and so many people images and videos in trusting, loving relationships. ithink, unfortunately for me, something that was completely used against me. i guess, i definitely think i should have thought twice before i took that risk again. this have thought twice before i took that risk again.— have thought twice before i took that riskaiain. a , that risk again. as you say, sending nudes is pretty _ that risk again. as you say, sending nudes is pretty common, _ that risk again. as you say, sending nudes is pretty common, sex - that risk again. as you say, sending nudes is pretty common, sex thing | that risk again. as you say, sending l nudes is pretty common, sex thing is pretty common amongst young people, do you think it is something that should be discussed more seriously in school? —— sexting. should be discussed more seriously in school? -- sexting.— in school? -- sexting. yes, young --eole in school? -- sexting. yes, young peeple sense _ in school? -- sexting. yes, young peeple sense so _ in school? -- sexting. yes, young people sense so much _ in school? -- sexting. yes, young people sense so much time - in school? -- sexting. yes, young people sense so much time in - in school? -- sexting. yes, young - people sense so much time in school, other friends are in school, ——
9:49 am
people sense so much time in school, otherfriends are in school, —— it spent so much time in school. the onus isn'tjust in schools, but also impedance to start having these conversations, and i hope this documentary can be a bit of a pivot point for people to use this as a talking point and watch out... i hope this can be shown in classes and parents can be hope this can be shown in classes and parents can he sat down with their children and watch it, and i think there is still a stigma around it, it is naive to think it will ever stop, it, it is naive to think it will everstop, our it, it is naive to think it will ever stop, our lives revolve around technology, i think educating people is so important. technology, i think educating people is so imoortant-_ is so important. there could be ouni is so important. there could be young people _ is so important. there could be young people watching - is so important. there could be young people watching this - is so important. there could be| young people watching this right now, because not that many are back at school, are you saying to young people don't send nudes or what? this is a really interesting point that we discuss a lot in the
9:50 am
documentary and my mind kind of switch, because on one side i'm seeing, well, pointing yourfinger and saying don't do this, i don't think it is really going to help, but on the other hand, i do think you are putting yourself in a really vulnerable position, you're putting the autonomy over your own body and someone else's cans once you click send, so there something to be said about weighing up the risk of what can happen. there are so many examples in the documentary of people who have put trust in someone, from long—term relationships, and someone was still able to use that and abused their trust. it is an interesting thing to say, it is like telling young people not to have sex. i don't think it is realistic to wag your finger at teenagers and say don't send pictures, because as i say, i think it is unrealistic but i think there's something to be said around
9:51 am
teaching people about the consequences, not only for those who send the images in the first place, but mostly i think the onus is on the perpetrators, those who send those images and spread them. yeah. those images and spread them. yeah, because that — those images and spread them. yeah, because that is _ those images and spread them. yeah, because that is also _ those images and spread them. yeah, because that is also a _ those images and spread them. yeah, because that is also a criminal- because that is also a criminal offence, and the person who shares them could end up on the sex offenders register, for example. exactly. there is one big topic of discussion that i think comes up from the documentary, and i think the law misses such a huge chunk of people, because the revenge porn law says it should only be taken up if it was to cause embarrassment or distress. i think in both of my cases, there was no intent, i have no ability to prove there is intent to cause embarrassment or distress, however it doesn't mean that that embarrassment and distress was not cause, so there needs to be a review in the law and how we look at these things. in the law and how we look at these thins. �* , in the law and how we look at these thinrs. �* , ., in the law and how we look at these thins. �* , . , things. because that bar is potentially _ things. because that bar is

9:54 am
cycle and kayak 140 miles in four days for comic relief. tim muffett spoke to him. it still feels so surreal that it is happening. i've never done anything like this before. it's completely different to motorsport, my background in racing. and what an extraordinary background it is. billy lost both his legs in a motor racing accident in 2017. we met him nine months later as he got back behind the wheel for the first time. you have your prosthetics here and you are still able to control the car and the pedals. many people will find that extraordinary. when you control the pedal normally, you do it all through your ankle, that's how you control how much input you're putting into the pedals. but with me, because i haven't got ankles, the way i simply control
9:55 am
it is just through my leg like this. this will be another enormous challenge. a 140 mile triathlon across england in four days. walking, cycling and kayaking. it is all for such a wonderful cause and i know you will be the inspiration that you were born to be. so good luck, billy. billy, you're such an inspiration, you're an extraordinary person l and i'm honoured to call you a friend. _ let's be honest, you're going - to absolutely beat this challenge. you could pretty much do the whole thing with me on your back. - but failing that, - i am there in spirit. lots of love, good luck. it will be a pretty sensational and special feeling. really trying to challenge myself. he is amazing. it is a shame the public can go to support, but you

ridge of high pressure, keeping things fairly settled. the cloud will continue to build on the south—eastern corner of the country, with some light rain following on. you can see a lot of dry weather with some sunshine. the north—west of scotland hanging onto a bit more clout. there will be one or two showers. temperatures today ranging from seven in the north to 13 in the south—east. as we head through this evening and overnight, the dregs of that weather from push away. mist and fog patches warming but they will last, because they went a strengthening. more especially out towards the west, and here it is one towards the west, and here it is one to be accompanied by some rain which will turn heavier as we go to the rest of the night and tomorrow. a particularly —— not typically cold night, so it won't be a cul—de—sac today, but we have this potent area of low pressure dominating our weather with france bringing in rain. the isobars telling you it will be when they were ever you are. the driest conditions tomorrow are more than likely going to be in some eastern areas. snow falling, gael�*s
