stories of the british establishment. let�*s start. i don�*t know if you�*ve been watching for the last half hour but we�*ve been covering that press conference in los angeles. it seems miraculous just looking at the sun, olivia, your former paper how tiger woods emerged from that car with his life. when you look at the front of that vehicle, tiger horror smash. i was speaking to a golfing commentator who said it seems unfortunately even as he comes back almost inevitable that tiger woods is going to find himself in more episodes like this. just giving how tumultuous his recent life has been.— recent life has been. yes, absolutely. _ recent life has been. yes, absolutely. as _ recent life has been. yes, absolutely. as you - recent life has been. yes, absolutely. as you said, l recent life has been. yes, | absolutely. as you said, it recent life has been. yes, i absolutely. as you said, it is pretty incredible. we�*re talking about leg injuries only. only is the wrong word to say of course he is in hospital and is very serious. but how he�*s escaped with his life is pretty incredible. whether his career will make another comeback,

11:38 pm
timetable announced on monday. i think quite a lot of people would think quite a lot of people would think that�*s pretty sensible, good news. if we are talking about data not dates. and following the science and if you�*re going to do that then surely you�*ve got to be flexible both ways. boris has said that he�*s happy or prepared to push those dates back if the data doesn�*t look good. but then if it does look good he should be prepared to bring them forward a little bit. matt hancock as you can tell from the story is very, very keen to squash this. the government does not want to be seen to be overpromising and under delivering again. so this sort of story won�*t be going down very well in downing street was up it�*s the last thing they want. they really don�*t want everyone to be saying that the governments implying that we will be out before easter. that�*s
11:39 pm
their absolute not doing that worst nightmare as things stand. i understand if you get into the inside of boris is thinking here, he didn�*t want to allow opening up. quite a lot of people wondering why he�*s decided to put that opening update on the 12th of april rather than the weekend before which is easter. the thinking seems to be that he didn�*t want to have to cancel easter again. so he�*s cancelled easter now instead of doing it further down the line. i don�*t know if it�*s going to make people particularly happy. overall it�*s a good news story that there is some willingness and flexibility within government should the dater turned out to be better with doing that than expected.— turned out to be better with doing that than expected. which may be the case. the that than expected. which may be the case- the park. _ that than expected. which may be the case. the park, as— that than expected. which may be the case. the park, as been _ that than expected. which may be the case. the park, as been music- that than expected. which may be the case. the park, as been music to - that than expected. which may be the case. the park, as been music to thel case. the park, as been music to the heirs of the covid research group. yes of course they wanted all restrictions lifted by april. that's one of— restrictions lifted by april. that's one of the — restrictions lifted by april. that's one of the key reasons behind the governments decision to come out of iockdown— governments decision to come out of lockdown more slowly. we've got a couple _ lockdown more slowly. we've got a couple of _ lockdown more slowly. we've got a couple of months ahead, another few
11:40 pm
months _ couple of months ahead, another few months of— couple of months ahead, another few months of it. while sage modelling from the _ months of it. while sage modelling from the scientific experts advising the government was suggesting that if it was— the government was suggesting that if it was in— the government was suggesting that if it was in any place two case where — if it was in any place two case where it's— if it was in any place two case where it's inevitably a surge in infection— where it's inevitably a surge in infection even if you have many people — infection even if you have many people vaccinated, you can have everybody — people vaccinated, you can have everybody vaccinated. in vaccinations don't stop transmissions fully either. but it comes— transmissions fully either. but it comes down to what the scale of that search _ comes down to what the scale of that search would be. they predict that if you _ search would be. they predict that if you lift _ search would be. they predict that if you lift it — search would be. they predict that if you lift it as the covid research group _ if you lift it as the covid research group suggested, you lift all restrictions by the end of april then— restrictions by the end of april then you — restrictions by the end of april then you can see up to 50,000 extra deaths. — then you can see up to 50,000 extra deaths. actually the scale was larger — deaths. actually the scale was larger could be up to 35 to 90 depending on exactly when you did it. depending on exactly when you did it so _ depending on exactly when you did it so the _ depending on exactly when you did it. so the government was spooked by that modelling and decided that it was going to have a slower emergence from lockdown. crucially they have this five—week gap between each measure. — this five—week gap between each measure, between each step to see the impacts of that lifting. and to
11:41 pm
see whether it's sustainable. because _ see whether it's sustainable. because what they absolutely most fearful _ because what they absolutely most fearful of _ because what they absolutely most fearful of his having to impose another— fearful of his having to impose another lockdown after this. because they came _ another lockdown after this. because they came out of it too fast like they— they came out of it too fast like they did — they came out of it too fast like they did the first time. and they second — they did the first time. and they second time. the public has at least accepted _ second time. the public has at least accepted if— second time. the public has at least accepted if not forgiven that was up they certainly wouldn't do it again ithink— they certainly wouldn't do it again i think if— they certainly wouldn't do it again i think if the government lifted too quickly— i think if the government lifted too quickly and we ended up seeing another— quickly and we ended up seeing another surge of the disease and we were in— another surge of the disease and we were in this — another surge of the disease and we were in this for even longer than we already— were in this for even longer than we already have been.— already have been. briefly on that same story- _ already have been. briefly on that same story. government - already have been. briefly on that same story. government cabinet. already have been. briefly on that - same story. government cabinet unity now after all the splits in rows over the last year or so about the right way forward. everyone on the same page now? it right way forward. everyone on the same page now?— right way forward. everyone on the same page now? it does sort of look like it. ithink— same page now? it does sort of look like it. i think one _ same page now? it does sort of look like it. i think one of _ same page now? it does sort of look like it. i think one of the _ same page now? it does sort of look like it. i think one of the things - like it. i think one of the things that i found most interesting about this and the disorder swapping positions hancock and rishi sunak to stop you remember last summer how rishi sunak was pushing to ease as soon as possible. was pushing to ease as soon as ossible. �* ., was pushing to ease as soon as ossible. . ., ., a, a, possible. and man to matt matt hancock was — possible. and man to matt matt hancock was one _ possible. and man to matt matt hancock was one of _ possible. and man to matt matt hancock was one of the - possible. and man to matt matt hancock was one of the doves l hancock was one of the doves obviously as health secretary for up
11:42 pm
not despising he want to do it as slowly as possible. now we see reversal. rishi sunak was strong by opening up too soon last time and felt that he made a mistake. he was worried about making the same mistake again. and so now seems to be one of the ones going along with the prime minister is a slow road map out. whereas matt hancock is been speaking about the great british summer. apparently he has been one of the ones pushing for a quicker easing of blackout. but is it actually contradictory to anything he said before. he�*s had a pretty comprehensive position all the way through. once the vaccine has been rolled out, once a top priority groups have been protected then there�*s quite a lot of wiggle room for easing restrictions. i think it�*s quite interesting how that�*s happening in the space of a few months was up on the whole yes, i would say these cabinets splits are sort of closing up. both cabinets and actually parliament has rallied around the prime minister.
11:43 pm
the part, thejet fling rallied around the prime minister. the part, the jet fling at guardian. the part, the jet fling at guardian. the jab at home to start covid becoming disease of the poor. yes this is quite _ becoming disease of the poor. yes this is quite concern among quite a few scientists will stop and government officials that they take up government officials that they take up rate _ government officials that they take up rate amongst particular communities they wanted to mention here black. _ communities they wanted to mention here black, asian and minority ethnic— here black, asian and minority ethnic communities. it also and deprived — ethnic communities. it also and deprived inner cities is lower than you might — deprived inner cities is lower than you might to be. we heard a lot about— you might to be. we heard a lot about sewing fears on the impact of some _ about sewing fears on the impact of some of— about sewing fears on the impact of some of the vaccines and some of the communities. it is broader the map. often _ communities. it is broader the map. often it— communities. it is broader the map. often it comes down to peoples health— often it comes down to peoples health status, whether they work in a 'ob health status, whether they work in a job that _ health status, whether they work in a job that might allow them time of flexibility— a job that might allow them time of flexibility or paid time off to go and get — flexibility or paid time off to go and get a — flexibility or paid time off to go and get a vaccine. or if they have a life where — and get a vaccine. or if they have a life where they have a young family and need _ life where they have a young family and need to arrange childcare and even _

11:46 pm
why not now when our children�*s lives, future lives are at a risk and miss so much incredibly important education? can we not sort of pulled together into something extraordinary like we did with the vaccine? again the commissioner saying it�*s eight nightingale plumbing for schools. i think she�*s actually right. this idea of catch up actually right. this idea of catch up lessons during the holidays, that make sense but i think some other more fundamental rethink might be necessary. perhaps shortening those incredibly long school holidays which are great for middle path holidays i go to museums and spent lots with their parents reading etc. but not so good for deprived kids. something like that. william hague was suggesting in the telegraph on tuesday... i�*m was suggesting in the telegraph on tuesda �* , , ., ., tuesday... i'm sorry i 'ust want to move on to — tuesday... i'm sorry i 'ust want to move on to the h tuesday... i'm sorry i 'ust want to move on to the times _ tuesday... i'm sorry i just want to move on to the times because - tuesday... i'm sorry i just want to | move on to the times because this tuesday... i'm sorry i just want to i move on to the times because this is all going to be very expensive for the chancellor, isn�*t it? especially for the budget coming up next week

hello there. i�*m tulsen tollett, and this is your sports news, where we start with tiger woods, who was involved in a car accident that has seen him rushed to hospital and into surgery. the emergency services responded to a single—vehicle rollover in los angeles and the 15—time major champion had to be cut from the car. he had been hosting the genesis invitational in the city, which concluded on sunday. the 45—year—old ended an 11—year wait for a major title when he won his fifth masters title in 2019. throughout his career, he has been someone who ripped up the record books, from the moment he turned professional in 1996. he won the masters in 1997 by 12 shots at the age of 21 and really set the template for golf and became arguably the greatest sportsman in the world
11:52 pm
at the height of his powers, and for a golfer to be able to do that really is an extra ordinary achievement. it has been an extraordinary life that he has led at the very top of golf, but also as a feature ——figure who dominated news agendas for good and bad reasons. 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. he was back on the top of the golfing world in terms of the world rankings, and as you say, 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? world number three and friend of woods, justin thomas, says he�*s feeling numb. i'm sick to my stomach.

you know, it hurts to see one of your closest friends getting in an accident, and ijust hope he's all right. just worry for his kids, you know? i'm sure they are struggling. the champions league last 16 continued tonight, with chelsea picking up a valuable 1—0 win against atletico madrid in their opening leg. due to covid restrictions, the match was moved from spain and was played in bucharest. but it was a frenchman who scored the only goal — olivier giroud on target for his sixth champions league goal this year, all of them away from home. while england u21 international jamal musiala, aged 17, became the youngest english player to score in the champions league when he grabbed bayern munich�*s second in their 4—1 win over lazio in rome. in the premier league, leeds united 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. one of world football�*s most controversial figures, super agent mino raiola, has rejected accusations that he�*s greedy and a parasite. there have been claims that raiola earned £41 million from paul pogba�*s £89 million transfer from juventus to manchester united in 2016. in an exclusive interview with bbc sports editor dan roan, raiola insists his only interest is looking after his players. maybe the big. if this man is so greedy and so bad and so, i don�*t know what i have been called, how the hell do these players are all happy and stay with it? that is what my real test is, you know? they call you a parasite. that is how you have been described by. you look my players don�*t come in a parasite. the only one that i work

for is my players. i don�*t work for some of the us. and parasites have a very important role in their life, for their host, because you have a big shark and you have a parasite under him, so i don�*t care what they call me. the only thing i cares what players call me. england�*s women have beaten northern ireland 6—0 in their first match in a year. it was a friendly at st george�*s park which saw new interim head coach hege riise take charge for the first time. jill scott was given the captain�*s armband as she won her 150th cap. it didn�*t take long for the goals to come, ellen white pouncing on a mistake from northern ireland to get england�*s first. her second was set up by lucy bronze and for her hat—trick, white got on the end of a beautifully weighted ball from jill scott. england�*s fifth was set up by bronze, who put the ball on a plate for rachel daly, and the sixth was a penalty — a debut goal for ella toone.

scotland women have lost their last euro qualifier against portugal. they already knew they couldn�*t qualify for the tournament, but it was a chance for new interim manager stuart mclaren to get to know his squad. scotland had been dominating the match, but rachel corsie�*s pass back to keeperjenna fife put her under pressure. her kick was blocked by portugal�*s ana capeta, deflecting the ball into the back of the net before the half—hour mark. and despite numerous chances and having the majority of possession, portugal got a second in added time when a poor clearance from jen beattie was volleyed in by fatimo pinto. everything else, of course, you can head to the bbc sport website, but that is all your sport for now. hello there. wednesday is set to be an exceptionally mild day, particularly where you get to see a little bit of brightness,

but even if you keep cloud and outbreaks of rain. that was the picture in the scottish borders during tuesday. there�*s more rain to come on wednesday courtesy of this pipeline of cloud ploughing in from the southwest. first part of the day still brings met office amber warnings in force for parts of central and southern scotland. rain also affecting north west england and wales. some patchy rain elsewhere. a few clear breaks, too, but a very mild start to the day. quite a windy start as well, although the winds will be easing just a little as we go through the day. we�*ll see those outbreaks of rain continuing across parts of northwest england, parts of northwest wales, heading into southern and central scotland. a little bit brighter for parts of northern ireland and certainly for the north of scotland, some sunny spells here, and where it stays dry and fairly bright with hazy sunshine for central and eastern parts of england, temperatures will get all the way up to 15, 16 or 17 degrees. as we head through wednesday night into thursday, this band of cloud and increasingly light and patchy rain will sink southeastward across england and wales.

clearer skies behind with some showers. overnight lows between five and 10 degrees. as this weather front lingers in the southeast corner during thursday, it will continue to bring cloud and some outbreaks of rain. but for the most part, thursday, actually, not a bad looking day — some good spells of sunshine. the winds will be a little lighter, particularly down towards the south. still quite breezy further north where there will be some showers, which mayjoin together into slightly longer spells of rain across northern scotland at times. temperatures down a little bit on wednesday�*s values, but still above where they should be at this time of year. into friday, there could be fog patches around first thing, particularly for central and southern parts of the uk. the odd spot of rain just skipping across the far north of scotland, but otherwise, a dry day. that early fog lifting to leave some spells of sunshine, and top temperatures between ten and 12 degrees. then, as we head into the weekend, high pressure will be firmly in charge of the weather. frontal systems maybe just grazing close to northern scotland, perhaps northern ireland,
