you're watching bbc news with me tim willcox. the headlines at 8 calls for vaccine passports, a controversial idea for many — but some employers already say they'll want proof their staff have had the jab. these are going to be the protection and safety of the staff and the safety of their customers. i think it's a no—brainer, basically. taking a slower road — scotland's route out of lockdown could see shops, bars, restaurants and gyms start to reopen by the end of april taking the brakes off will allow the first to get ahead of us again and put our progress out of lockdown into reverse. golfing legend tiger woods is in hospital after a car crash in la — the golfer was cut from the wreckage and is currently in surgery after

sustaining multiple leg injuries. palace update — prince philip will stay in hospital for several more days — being treated for an infection the uk's unemployment rate reaches a five year high — with the under 25s are being hit hardest and wishing we were already there — travel companies see a huge surge in bookings we start with some breaking news first. the us golfer tiger woods has been taken to hospital after being cut from his carfollowing an accident in los angeles. fire crews had to had to cut him woods from the vehicle after it rolled over and suffered "major damage". the 15—time major winner suffered multiple leg injuries.

his agent has issued a statement saying he is currently in surgery. he is believed to have been the only person in the car. saying that tiger woods is currently in surgery and it is believed that he was the only person in the car at the time. and this was a single car accident. in other words, the car came off the road at some point and then rolled over. a serious car accident involving tiger woods, who is now in surgery for multiple leg injuries. returning to the coronavirus situation here. so, we now have a route out of lockdown in both

england and scotland — and with it comes the challenge of working out exactly how businesses will re—open. in england, some bosses are already saying they might want staff to have so—called vaccine passports — proof that they've had the jab. borisjohnson has ordered a review into the matter, describing it as "a deep and complex issue". more on the scottish lockdown plans in a moment but first our deputy political editor, vicki young, reports on why the issue of vaccine passports is so controversial. and a warning that her report contains some flashing images.. winning her report contains some flashing images. up and down the country every minute of the day. people are getting some protection from the virus that has changed our lives. this is our way out of covid restrictions. if everything goes according to plan this summer dance floors,

theatres and concert venues could once again be packed but should everyone be let through the doors are only those who have been vaccinated? ministers need to decide soon. we have not had stuff like this before and we've never thought in terms of having something you have to show to go to a pub or theatre. so there are deep and complex issues that we need to explore, ethical issues. some businesses are not waiting for the government review, this care home in bristol will ask employees for proof that they've a vaccine. that they've had a vaccine. with new staffjoining us we're just going to make it a requirement that they have to have the vaccine if they are not willing to, they cannot work for us. it is notjust the care sector taking this approach, other companies want employees to be vaccinated as well.

it is the protection and safety of their staff and protection of safety of customers so i feel it is a no—brainer. what about people who decide they either cannot have one for medical reasons or do not want to have i, it is not compulsory in this country so is that unfair on them? that is not unfair, that is their decision and choice but i think it will mean they won't get the job. they will not be able to go to restaurants and theatres or even travel. so that is their choice. ministers accept other countries are likely to ask for a vaccine passport before we can travel abroad but some say that using them at home is unfair. it is important for the government to hold fast to the idea that vaccination is voluntary. it is a fundamental right that we should be able to choose what medical treatment we have or do not have and inevitably those people who would be most disadvantaged would be those already marginalised and already poorer or disadvantage in other ways. for weeks the government has ruled out a vaccine passport or certificate for domestic use but that has changed now and there will be

a if you administer say and there will be a review. to administer say that they are going in with an open mind. one idea being considered is to use the existing nhs app so people can record whether they have been vaccinated or had a negative test before they enter a venue. the government knows that vaccinations and testing key to opening up many businesses but they need to avoid a divisive two tier system. let's speak to our political correspondentjessica parker. joining us from westminster. the government seems to have changed positions in the last few weeks or so and it does very much go against the philosophical political grading of the prime minister, as of inevitability now? i of the prime minister, as of inevitability now?— of the prime minister, as of inevitability now? i think if you look at the _ inevitability now? i think if you look at the last _ inevitability now? i think if you look at the last year, - inevitability now? i think if you look at the last year, we - inevitability now? i think if you look at the last year, we have | inevitability now? i think if you - look at the last year, we have heard how conservatives are talking about imposing lockdown goes against the

philosophical and again, some sense of discomfort and certainly will be reaching from the prime minister is a noncommittal and westminster says they're going into this review very much for an open mind. what happened in terms of the change of position because you are right. we heard from ministers that there will be no plans for a domestic vexing passports are the some systems might emerge to allow for safe travel, the conversation was happening anyway and as you've been hearing, businesses were looking at ways to make the workplace a safe, organisations are looking at a place to ensure that customers could be safe in the government risk not being part of the conversation but eventually drawn into it anyway. and they're not trying to just get ahead of things a little bit more and have this review in terms of looking at the idea as to whether vaccines are testing, and acknowledgement that not everyone's going to have a

vaccine although they will be encouraged to and some people for medical reasons may not build a vaccine, and looking vaccines and testing as a potential way of establishing someone's covid—i9 status so they can access certain venues. there will be the overrun is the vaccine continues to be rolled out. the vaccine continues to be rolled out, , , , the vaccine continues to be rolled out. , ,, , the vaccine continues to be rolled out. , ,, ., out. some press reports saying that the nhs absurdity _ out. some press reports saying that the nhs absurdity given _ out. some press reports saying that the nhs absurdity given seed - out. some press reports saying that. the nhs absurdity given seed funding money to actually look into whether that would be acceptable and that has notjust happen overnight either. has not 'ust happen overnight either. . ~ ., ., either. yeah, i thinki have heard of certain — either. yeah, i thinki have heard of certain pots — either. yeah, i thinki have heard of certain pots of _ either. yeah, i thinki have heard of certain pots of money - either. yeah, i thinki have heard of certain pots of money going i either. yeah, i thinki have heardl of certain pots of money going out to third—party or private sector companies to look at a range of options over the past year. sometimes, those projects aren't necessarily fully endorse this policy by government, but the philosophy has been, they decide to keep looking at different things to

see the possibility for an unprecedented situation. i'm not sure about the specific example that you mentioned there but clearly, they have now changed their position and move from any point ofjust looking at the idea or private sector companies looking at the idea to the government officially looking at the idea. there's so many questions as to how this is going to work. not least of all, how it works across the uk because as i understand, this review is england only, because the uk government will try and seek consensus cooperation work with devolved administrations because there was to be something like using an app or having some sort of document to prove your covid—i9 status, would be very difficult for it to be invalid only when you're going to have people crisscrossing the entirety of the united kingdom potentially is restrictions are lifted.- united kingdom potentially is restrictions are lifted. thank you very much- _ restrictions are lifted. thank you very much. half—

then from april the 5th, it's hoped the stay at home restriction will be lifted — with places of worship beginning to open up and schools ready to accept all children. and from the 26th of april other parts of the economy will start to reopen — and scotland will return to its previous levels system. nicola sturgeon says restrictions could be lifted more quickly if cases remain low and the vaccine roll—out contines to go well. our scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie reports. cautiously and gradually is how scotland will emerge from lockdown. between now and the end of april there will be a slow easing of some restrictions. the first minister told the scottish parliament the current situation is promising but precarious. taking the brakes up too quickly will allow the virus to get ahead of us and put progress out of lockdown into reverse that i appreciate that this is a frustrating message but it is an essential one. the reopening of scotland's economy

which includes shops, bars, restaurants, gyms and hairdressers, is expected to start in the last week of april when the country will move from lockdown back into the levels system. karen owns several clothes shops and she has already permanently close to her businesses during the pandemic. if we are allowed to open we need people to be able to come and we need them to be allowed to travel on public transport to travel more than a few miles so they can actually use nonessential retail when it opens up otherwise it is pointless. the government says schools are a priority and early years and a limited number of senior students returned to the classroom yesterday. all primary and more secondary pupils could return from the 15th of march. the rest could go back from the 5th of april. the announcement today will be good

news for many but others say it. it of expectations and it lacks clarity about the way forward. it should be the height of the ski season but the first minister said that travel restrictions are likely to stay in place for some time and hospitality will remain closed over easter. normally we finished scheme on the may bank holiday weekend sophiejohn not open to the 26th it would not be the best. the lid of the scottish conservatives that holyrood said people had a right to be disappointed. it is not a route map out of covid but a holding document for the next eight weeks and everyone understands we may not be able to give absolute certainty but they were expecting the first minister to give them some kind of hope. but the first minister said she believes this to be a firm

and sustainable way out of lockdown. the latest official figures show there were 8,489 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. it means an average of 10,882 new cases were recorded per day in the last week. across the uk, an average of 16,797 people were in hospital with coronavirus over the seven days to sunday — including suspected cases in wales. in the last 2a hours, 548 deaths have been recorded — that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid test. on average, 41m deaths were announced every day in the past week. the total number of people who've died is 121,305. on vaccines, more than 192,000 people had theirfirst dose of a vaccine in the latest 24—hour period.

close to 18 million people have now had their first vaccination. suggesting that there are some problems at the moment with supply. the highest level of coronavirus restrictions will continue in ireland until april the 5th at least. the taoiseach micheal martin made the announcement in a live address to the nation. he also detailed the country's �*living with covid plan'. the plan includes the phased reopening of schools and childcare, with some pupils set to return to the classroom on march one. he also said there would be a significant expansion of the vaccination programme in april — and that 82% of adults

will have had at least one dose by the end ofjune. and we'll find out how coronavirus — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at around 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are political editor at the daily mirror, pippa crerar, and assistant comment editor of the telegraph newspaper, olivia utley. the headlines on bbc news: calls for vaccine passports — a controversial idea for many — but some employers already say they'll want proof their staff have had the jab. taking a slower road — scotland's route out of lockdown could see shops, bars, restaurants and gyms start to reopen by the end of april. golfing legend tiger woods is in hospital after a car crash in la. the golfer was cut from the wreckage and is currently in surgery after

sustaining multiple leg injuries. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's toulson. as you've been hearing in the news, 15—time major champion tiger woods has been involved in a car crash in california. let's go live now to our golf correspondent iain carter. ian, how much do we know about his condition? figs ian, how much do we know about his condition? �* , , ., ian, how much do we know about his condition? ~ , , ., ., , , condition? as you have 'ust seen there, condition? as you have 'ust seen there. «amt condition? as you have 'ust seen there, clearly it h condition? as you have 'ust seen there, clearly it is _ condition? as you have 'ust seen there, clearly it is a _ condition? as you have just seen there, clearly it is a very - condition? as you have just seen there, clearly it is a very serious| there, clearly it is a very serious car accident. when vehicle involved early in the morning, seven o'clock in the morning in los angeles where tiger woods was based of the weekend because he was hosting the latest event over the pga tour, the invitational. we know what he calls the jaws of life machinery was used

by the emergency service to help cut him free. we have heard subsequently that he has been taken to hospital and for his agent, the tiger woods is now in surgery being treated for multiple leg wounds. this is a very serious situation. talk multiple leg wounds. this is a very serious situation.— serious situation. talk about hostinu serious situation. talk about hosting the _ serious situation. talk about hosting the genesis - serious situation. talk about l hosting the genesis invitation, serious situation. talk about - hosting the genesis invitation, ask about whether he would be fit from that back injury to play at the masters this year. players are not completely shocked. that masters this year. players are not completely shocked.— masters this year. players are not completely shocked. that must be the least of his concerns _ completely shocked. that must be the least of his concerns of _ completely shocked. that must be the least of his concerns of the _ completely shocked. that must be the least of his concerns of the moment. i least of his concerns of the moment. i think what is interesting is from the interview he did on american television on sunday, concerns about his appearance and hesitancy about the progress that he has been making and what has been a fifth bout of back surgery. you remember back a couple of years ago when he was stopped by police and ultimately

pleaded guilty to reckless driving when he was found to have five different drugs in the system and i was at a time when he was coping with the pain that comes with all of the injuries that he suffered of the length of his career. at the moment, it is too soon to speculate on what is happened on this occasion. but in terms of background, we know that he is going through a tumultuous period in his life really since 2008 when he won his 14th major us open and he brought it all the way back to win the masters in 2019, which was his 15th major. the masters in 2019, which was his 15th ma'or. ., ., . ,. , 15th ma'or. someone who transcends ort in 15th major. someone who transcends port in 2008. — 15th major. someone who transcends port in 2008. his _ 15th major. someone who transcends port in 2008, his personal _ 15th major. someone who transcends port in 2008, his personal issues, i port in 2008, his personal issues, injury issues. he is someone who young players from years ago still look up to them players coming into now look up to because of what he did in 2019 by winning that masters. throughout his career, he has been someone who ripped up the record books from the moment he turned

professional in 1996 and he won the masters in 1997, at the age of 21 and release of the template for a golf and became arguably the greatest sportsman in the world at the height of his powers and for a golfer to be able to do that really is an extraordinary achievement. it has been an extraordinary life that he has led at the very top of golf but also as a figure who dominated news agendas for good and bad reasons and obviously the fallout from the car accident that he suffered in 2009 when it was revealed that he had been involved in multiple sex scandals as well which cost him his marriage, he put his life back together within four years and he was back on the top of the golfing world in terms of the world rankings and as you said, that victory in 2019 at the masters really was a crowning moment for him. now he finds himself in a hospital bed under the knife with

serious multiple leg injuries and who knows what the future now holds for tiger woods.— who knows what the future now holds for tiger woods. thank you very much for tiger woods. thank you very much for our for tiger woods. thank you very much foryourtime- — for tiger woods. thank you very much for your time. in _ for tiger woods. thank you very much for your time. in the _ for tiger woods. thank you very much for your time. in the primitive - for your time. in the primitive lead, southampton 3—0. in the premier league, leeds beat southampton 3—0, with goals from patrick bamford, stuart dallas and this free—kick from raphinha. they go tenth in the league. southampton haven't won in eight matches now. that's all the sport for now. just time to update you on the champions league action tonight, with chelsea under way in the first leg of their last 16 tie against atletico madrid. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. buckingham palace has announced that the duke of edinburgh is being treated for an infection and is not expected to leave

hospital for several days. prince philip was admitted to london's king edward vii's hospital last tuesday as a precaution after feeling unwell. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has more. a short statement this afternoon, he is receiving medical attention and we learn for an infection but there is no indication as to the cause of the nature of that infection, but the nature of that infection, but the statement goes on and he is comfortable responding to treatment thatis comfortable responding to treatment that is not expected to leave hospital for several days. but separately, prince edward has said to a journalist at sky news that his father is a lot better, makes you wonder how he was before feeling a lot better considering he supposed be good spirits about coming to hospital but prince albert city is looking forward to getting out of hospital. so, all in all, it all pretty positive.

airlines and travel firms say they've seen a surge in overseas holiday bookings since the announcement on lifting lockdown in england yesterday. with stays away from home not allowed until after easter at the earliest — and hotels not reopening until at least may 17th — there's still plenty of uncertainty for tourism. our correspondentjon kay has been to penzance to find out how businesses there are feeling about the months ahead. it has been a rough winter, and cornwall�*s tourist industry is desperate to take off again. it is worth £2 billion a year. ping, ping, ping with cancellation, cancellation, cancellation. mark was hoping to have guests back by easter but the prime minister's plan means he cannot reopen his penzance hotel rooms until mid—may at the earliest. they say there is light at the end of the tunnel but to me at the minute, thatjust looks like an 125 intercity train coming

towards me at the minute. our room rates gross about 1200 quid a day. do the maths. mark doesn't want to rush things, but he wonders why the economy cannot open up a little faster. if covid rates are falling and vaccines are working. self catering units like this one just up the road will be able to reopen in mid april, but that is still after the valuable easter break. the owner told me public health must be the priority but he also worries about the health of the economy. it's ordinary people whose livelihoods are totally dependent on the tourist industry. it's going to be hard going for them, you know, some of them are not going to survive. some of them have already gone out of business but there will be plenty more, i can assure you. the government hopes that its staggered, cautious approach will mean that when summer finally gets here it could be a bumper season for uk tourism. interestingly, since the prime minister's announcement yesterday there has been a surge

in demand for foreign holidays with some travel companies reporting bookings up by 500%. majorca is extraordinary popular and alicante, crete in greece and turkey and faro in portugal, so it's a traditional summer and leisure holiday destination that people are really asking for. but with big questions still remaining about foreign travel, uk holiday destinations have also seen increased bookings today, especially for later in the summer. right now, that still feels a long way off. one area of the economy that could be opening up significantly in england as we head towards the summer, is live music. aside from a few pilot events and socially distanced gigs last year, the industry has been mostly closed for the past year.

but yesterday the government announced that in england, gigs and festivals could be back with no social distancing, from as early as the 21st ofjune — and limited capacity events could be back in may. well, we can now speak to greg parmley, who's the chief executive of live, which is the live music industry venues and entertainment group. hejoins us live. (socially distanced gig, august 2020) (library pix what did you make of the road map yesterday from the prime minister, june the 21st seems most likely date i suppose, but with more social distancing perhaps. i i suppose, but with more social distancing perhaps.— i suppose, but with more social distancing perhaps. i think it was a very positive _ distancing perhaps. i think it was a very positive announcement - distancing perhaps. i think it was a very positive announcement and i distancing perhaps. i think it was a | very positive announcement and we have been calling for every opening really since last summer, so it's very positive that we have this and we are looking forward to getting back to normal. but with all these things, the devil is in the details, it's going to be a long time before

for some of us. some eastern areas are likely to stay dry throughout the been more cloud around the day but still very warm potentially of the sun comes out, some practice guides for the northeast of scotland as well but you can see through wednesday, that rain sticks with us in the same sort of areas just keeping a little bit further eastwards. a little fresher towards the west of the weather warnings on the west of the weather warnings on the website. hello, 8:31pm. you're watching bbc news. our headlines: calls for vaccine passports — a controversial idea for many — but some employers already say they'll want proof their staff have had the jab. taking a slower road — scotland's route out of lockdown could see shops, bars, restaurants and gyms start to reopen by the end of april. golfing legend tiger woods is in hospital after a car crash in la. the golfer was cut from the wreckage and is currently in surgery for multiple leg injuries.

we'll have a live update in a moment. let's get more on that breaking news in the past hour or so. let's speak to our correspondent in los angeles, peter bowes. peter, this did not happen that long ago, we have seen some aerial pictures of the car which looks pretty badly smashed up. what is the latest? tide pretty badly smashed up. what is the latest? ~ , ., ., latest? we understand that tiger woods is now — latest? we understand that tiger woods is now in _ latest? we understand that tiger woods is now in hospital, - latest? we understand that tiger woods is now in hospital, he - latest? we understand that tiger woods is now in hospital, he has| woods is now in hospital, he has serious leg injuries and is undergoing surgery. that is about all we know on his condition. as you say not that long ago, just a few hours ago, it was just after 7am in the morning local time los angeles. an area just on the acid of los angeles, the rolling hills area as it is known. it is mostly a suburban area, a urban area. this is one of

the arterial freeways that goes through los angeles, so it may not have been that busy. we do not know who called the emergency services but we have seen these aerial shots of the vehicle, it took quite a table down the hillside, on its side, and it looks like he had to be winched out of that vehicle using the jaws of life, the equipment firefighters used to winched someone out vehicle that has been as badly damaged at this one. his out vehicle that has been as badly damaged at this one.— out vehicle that has been as badly damaged at this one. his agent has tweeted, discolored _ damaged at this one. his agent has tweeted, discolored for _ damaged at this one. his agent has tweeted, discolored for privacy - damaged at this one. his agent has tweeted, discolored for privacy at l tweeted, discolored for privacy at this time, but hasn't been confirmed he was travelling alone? does he live close by? was he coming from his home? he live close by? was he coming from his home? , ., ., live close by? was he coming from his home?— his home? he lives in florida, but we understand _ his home? he lives in florida, but we understand that _ his home? he lives in florida, but we understand that he _ his home? he lives in florida, but we understand that he has - his home? he lives in florida, but we understand that he has been l his home? he lives in florida, but| we understand that he has been in los angeles, there has been some reports he was playing golf in los angeles 2a hours ago and that enabled up in town for photo shoot,

of unemployment for young people. for nine months of the year, blackpool lives or dies on the tourism trade. but the sound of the seagulls is now louder than the screams from the roller—coasters. the owners of blackpool tower and other major attractions here say lockdown has taken away many of the jobs young people relied on. 65% of our workforce is under the age of 24. so it has really hit them hard. it has been devastating for them. so last year when we normally would have taken on our seasonal recruits, they didn't get a job. they have spent all of that time or most of that time in lockdown. today's figures show there were 726,000 fewer workers on payrolls last month compared with the start of the pandemic. nearly 60% of that drop, more than 400,000 workers, were those aged under 25. locked up and virtually deserted, seasonal work here in blackpool has disappeared.

and with more people chasing fewer jobs, less experienced young people are missing out as a result. oliver wants to be a mechanic. he has adhd and mild autism and says the pandemic has made thejob hunt even harderfor him. it is quite stressful to be honest. because i'm looking forjobs. i try to apply forjobs and i don't get anything other than an e—mail saying, "you have been unsuccessful." i keep on looking, i keep on looking and there is nothing there. but, i mean, at the end of the day, if you keep on trying, i'm sure something will come up. for the last 30 years, linda has been a youth worker here and warns that some people are at crisis point. we are looking at a generation that have fear for the future and have no hope for the future.

so what we need to do is ensure that we offer them the training and the skills so they are ready when the work opportunities are available, they are ready. there is a brighter outlook for euan. he had been looking for an apprenticeship for three years. in december, he got taken on. financially, it has been a struggle paying bills and paying for food and stuff like that. it's hard. but now that i've got a wage, i feel relieved and just over the moon. the government has set up a £2 billion scheme to help the under 25s, and as lockdown eases, those looking for work hope thejobs they depend on will come back soon. sarah corker, bbc news, in blackpool. 8:37pm. you're watching bbc news. now, it's time for your questions answered.

vaccinated and you get mild or moderate illness, you could be infected and infectious to other people. therefore it is important, even after you have been immunised, to continue wearing your mask and continue to take all infection control measures until all cases in the country have come down. stand control measures until all cases in the country have come down. and 'ust as a writer to — the country have come down. and 'ust as a writer to that, i the country have come down. and 'ust as a writer to that, those i the country have come down. and 'ust as a writer to that, those people i as a writer to that, those people who had their firstjab as a writer to that, those people who had theirfirstjab december, january without the second dose was good to be in three orfour weeks, now months, they must have that second jab if they are offered at? absolutely full of the first jab is what we call the primer. it is giving your immune system a wake—up call that, "i need you to make immunity against me," and the second jab is what we would call the booster. it is re—reminding your system that it needs to really remember me and really make immunity against me, so the second dose is

secondary schools across england are making plans to carry out covid tests on all pupils when they return to classrooms in less than two weeks. millions of children will be affected and the tests will have to be done both at school and at home. the hope is that the tests — as well as wearing masks in the classroom if social distancing isn't possible — will help to reduce transmission. our education editor branwenjeffreys has been to shropshire to speak to parents and students. so, i've got my cotton swab. i take off my mask. brooke is used to the quick covid tests. she's been in school during the lockdown. put it at the back of your throat. her school is gearing up to test everyone returning. pop it in the tube. once school is fully reopened, teenagers will do the same test at home.

i think it will be more difficult for people to do it at home because we only do half of it, we just swab it and they do the rest, but we will have to do all of it. some people will complain but i think they will - do it by the end anyway. i'll probably find it easier because i'm more dependent on myself, because i'm older, and the younger ones probably need a bit more reassurance and help, knowing they are doing it right. the other change, the masks they wear in corridors compulsory in classrooms too. it can be quite distracting sometimes and because i have asthma, it can be challenging to breathe, but it is to keep people safe, so... it will be harder to communicate with the teachers and people in the classroom, but, yeah, it will be difficult. secondary schools are set up and ready to carry out testing. there will be three tests in school when teenagers all return, and after that, pupils will be encouraged to carry out two tests a week at home.

but schools are going to keep some testing capacity, and that's because there will be families who will struggle with this. there is a myriad of concerns. there's the vulnerable children, the children doing it in challenging circumstances, whether they will be given the encouragement to do the test, the space to do the test. things are very fraught at certain times in some families. i've got teenagers myself, and a teenager that doesn't want to do something can be very challenging. anna's sons, charlie and james, have been learning at home. she is pleased that testing is part the return to school. the advantage for me is peace of mind, knowing that they will be tested and... i've got a mum who is in a care home at the moment, so it is peace of mind. none of us have been tested yet. no one has been taught how to do it, we haven't been told _ by our teachers who have been

trained how to do it properly, i so i'm not sure how accurate the results will be. - for teenagers, it's another strange new routine. part of the price of going back into the classroom. branwyn jeffreys, bbc news, woodchurch. now to scotland, again. not this time about the easing of the lockdown. but a bitter dispute that pits two of the most dominant political figures in the country against each other — first minister nicola sturgeon and herformer mentor alex salmond. at the heart of the row is an inquiry into the scottish government's handling of harassment claims made against mr salmond in 2018. it's a case of who knew what and when. today, mr salmond's written evidence to the inquiry was removed from the scottish parliament's website, before being amended and republished. alex salmond has now offered to appear before msps on friday and his lawyer has written to the committee tonight. our scotland editor sarah smith has more.

after alex salmond. this morning, taken down, certain paragraphs removed and it was made available to again. dr alex salmond wants his story told. he believes there was a conspiracy to destroy his reputation and to see him imprisoned. you will remember there was a criminal trial last year and he was acquitted on 13 counts of sexual assault. we know also that he wants to make public his accusations that nicola sturgeon is not telling the truth about what she knew and when. you will allege she has misled parliament and broken the rules that

govern ministerial behaviour. if that was established to be the case, she would be expected to resign as first minister, so very serious. and they are directly refuted by nicola sturgeon full time she will be giving evidence for self week possibly, something she says she relishes the opportunity to do, because according to her alex salmond will not be able to prove any of his conspiracy theories, because they are simply not true. our scotland editor, sarah smith, there. the broadcaster and naturalist, sir david attenborough, has warned world leaders at the united nations security council that climate change could destroy entire cities and societies if carbon emissions are not cut. we are today perilously close to a tipping point. we will send global to purchase catastrophic higher. if we continue on our current path, we will face the collapse of everything

that gives us our security. sir david attenborough in that appeal. britain's fashion industry is worth £35 billion a year to the economy, but its leaders say they need government help to deal with the twin effects of brexit and the pandemic. leaving the european union has meant additional paperwork and costs while covid has stopped the events that designers need to showcase their creations. along with new york, milan and paris, london fashion week draws a global audience. but all collections are being shown online as our arts editor, will gompertz reports. london fashion week 2021 — an online—only affair this year, but still an important showcase for britain's luxury fashion brands. they know how to put on a good show, even in the bad times... ..which these certainly are for the uk's multi—billion—pound fashion industry. covid has dealt it a huge blow.

brexit, they say, is the sucker punch. this particularfabric is from north italy. it was to be in my collection, it arrived too late. it got stuck between documentation at stansted airport. there's no deal, as far as the textile industry is concerned. it is a disaster. ijust believe it's going to get worse unless something seriously is done. and the double duty, double vat — thatjust has to change. erdem, the internationally admired london—based luxury fashion brand, is showing its new ballet—inspired autumn winter collection at london fashion week. it's looking great. but business isn't. it's extraordinary, the kind of thoughtlessness, actually, of what's happening with brexit. it's has resulted in cancelled orders, it's resulted in absolutely increased costs. if the changes being demanded by everyone in the fashion industry,

if they don't materialise, what's the outlook? one outlook would be to set up a subsidiary business, a company in europe. the government is making it increasingly difficult to produce it here in the uk, which is such a shame, because that accounts for almost 50% of what we do, so it's very sad, actually. a government spokesperson said, "we are working closely with businesses in the fashion industry to ensure they get the support they need to trade effectively with the eu and seize new opportunities as we strike new trade deals." british fashion designers have a global reputation for their creativity and enterprise, attributes embodied by priya ahluwalia, this year's winner of the queen elizabeth ii award for british design. i am optimistic, but i've just got to be, i think. ifeel like ahluwalia is more thanjust a clothing brand. for me, it's a way i can tell stories that are authentic about different cultures and my heritage, and also it's a driver for change, in terms of showing better practice on how we can manufacture clothing.

sustainability, diversity, covid and brexit are all big challenges facing the british fashion industry — a global success story that nobody wants to see come apart at the seams. will gompertz, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. good evening. although some managed a little warmth in the sunshine during the day, it was still windy and, for many, it was windy, cloudy and wet. and we've got plenty more of that rain to come. you can see this trailing band of cloud that's going to continue to push rain into similar areas where we've seen it today. the met office amber warning in force for the southern uplands, the southern highlands. about 120 mm of rain expected here, but for many other areas under that zone of cloud, there'll be a good 60—80 mm falling as well. so certainly the risk of flash flooding and disruption. and it's very windy, too, with gale force winds up

through the irish sea and into western parts of scotland, just pushing that rain into the evening, night and into tomorrow as well. perhaps easing a little for northern ireland later, and to the south and east, mostly dry, but with all the cloud, the wind and the rain, it'll be a mild night — temperatures higher than they would be during the day in late february. so that mild air will continue to play a part, actually, in the amount of rainfall that we get. it's just pumping that moisture in. the flood warnings have been rising through the day. you can find out more information on the website, because that weather front remains slow moving through wednesday. here it is. again, tightly—packed isobars, perhaps less so across the north, but we've got slightly fresh air waiting in the wings there, but still very warm air being pushed up to the south of that weather front. so if the sun does come out during the day on wednesday, we could be seeing 16s or 17s in southern and eastern areas. but again, the story is the strength of the wind. a blustery day, more wet weather to come again, perhaps not as much across northern ireland, but close by, isn't it? and again, southern and central scotland, northern england, much of wales seeing that rain

continuing to fall. now, it should eventually move out of the way by the time we get to thursday, and then there's some good news — some drier weather is on the way. the cloud does drags its heels across southern and eastern areas, which means it could well be a greyer day here with damp and drizzly weather, but then brighter skies further north. although it will feel fresher, we've got that westerly wind instead of a south—westerly. but still, just one or two showers and a lot drier, and that's because we're starting to see the influence of high—pressure building northwards, notjust for the end of the week but potentially into the weekend as well — keeping those weather fronts at bay, giving us more sunshine, some chilly nights and some morning fog to watch out for. the warnings, as ever, are online.

this is bbc news — capitol hill security chiefs give conflicting reports on what went wrong on january sixth. the former sergeant—at—arms says intelligence reports didn't warrant calling in the national guard. but the man who was the capitol police chief says there should have been a heavier troop presence to prevent the attack. yellow these criminals can prepare for war. the team with their own radio system to co—ordinate these attacks you make the golfer tiger woods is in hospital undergoing surgery to his legs, after a serious car accident in los angeles. also in the programme.
