good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. our headlines today. tiger woods undergoes surgery after a car crash in los angeles. he suffered multiple leg injuries and had to be freed from the wreckage. summer schools and extra tuition to help pupils in england catch up with lessons lost to covid. thousands of women are being offered diy home smear tests to check for early warnings of cervical cancer. and a super strike from olivier giroud hands chelsea a crucial win over atletico madrid in the champions league.

good morning. there has been some heavy overnight rain across parts of the north and west of the uk. more to come through the course of the day. the wince, using a little. drier and brighter in the south—east, and here, we could see temperatures are possibly up to 17 celsius. i'll have more later in the programme. it's wednesday february 24th. our top story. tiger woods has been undergoing surgery after suffering "multiple leg injuries" in a car crash in los angeles. he had to be freed from the wreckage by firefighters and paramedics but he was said to be "alive and conscious" at the scene. our west coast correspondent sophie long has this report from los angeles. has anyone checked the vehicle to see if anyone's there? no. the emergency call came just after seven on tuesday morning. the golf legend's suv had been travelling at speed before it flipped and rolled multiple times, sustaining extensive damage.

no skid marks, no breaking, so apparently, the first contact was with the centre median and from there, then, cross into the opposing lane of traffic, hit the kerb, hit a tree, and there was several rollovers during that process. the sporting icon was pulled from the wreckage, conscious, and authorities say, lucky to be alive. i made contact with him and i ensured that he was able to speak to me. at that time, he seemed as though he was still calm and lucid. news of the accident sent shock waves through the world of sport and beyond. i'm sick to my stomach. you know, it hurts to see one of your, now, my closest friends, you know, getting in an accident. and ijust hope he's all right. tiger woods has inspired generations. i'm tiger woods. his story, one of the most compelling in the history of professional golf.

a cultural icon who has overcome huge challenges in his professional and personal life. he reached the peak of his comeback just two years ago, when he triumphed at augusta. a fifth masters victory that reverberated way beyond sport. his injuries, while serious, are not thought to be life—threatening. they could be career—threatening, though, for the legendary golfer, who was already recuperating from his fifth back surgery. recovery now could be the greatest challenge he's ever faced. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. let's get more from our north america correspondent david willis who's in los angeles. david, what's the latest on tiger's condition? and has any more emerged about what happened? let and has any more emerged about what ha--ened? and has any more emerged about what ha ened? , , ., and has any more emerged about what hauened? , happened? let me bring you bang up-to-date- _ happened? let me bring you bang up-to-date- in — happened? let me bring you bang up-to-date. in the _ happened? let me bring you bang up-to-date. in the last _ happened? let me bring you bang up-to-date. in the last few- happened? let me bring you bang i up-to-date. in the last few minutes, up—to—date. in the last few minutes, via his twitter feed, up—to—date. in the last few minutes, via his twitterfeed, tiger woods has released a statement, and it

includes words from the doctor who has been treating him in los angeles overnight, and it says he is currently awake and recovering, and thanks people for their support. he says that, this is the doctor, a long surgical procedure on tiger woods�* lower right leg and ankle was undertaken. he suffered significant orthopaedic injuries to his right lower extremity that were treated during emergency surgery, and the statement from the doctor goes onto say that elrod was inserted into the tibia, and additional injuries to the foot and ankle were stabilised with a combination of screws and pins. what this makes clear, i think, is that these were serious injuries which he has sustained after his car, the suv in which she was travelling, basically left the road and hit the kerb, hit a tree,

then rolled over several times. it came to rest several hundred feet from the road, and tiger woods had to be cut from the wreckage by firemen. he was pulled out through the shattered windscreen and earlier today the los angeles times reported that he had suffered a shattered ankle and two leg fractures, one of them a compound fracture, all of which i suppose raises the question, what does this mean for his golfing career? this is a man who has undergone a lot of surgery in the past, of course, four knee surgeries, five back surgeries, and he has bounced back on every occasion. after one of the most recent in 2017, he bounced back to win the masters two years later. david, thank you. secondary schools in england

are set to receive funding to run summer schools. it�*s part of the government�*s plans to help children catch up after months of learning from home. the prime minister has pledged an extra £400 million for extra lessons and tutoring schemes, but teaching unions are warning more investment is needed. our education correspondent danjohnson has more. when children get back into class, teachers have the delicate task of working out who�*s missed what and where extra support is needed. many are wary of the pressure pupils will be under and the risk that some could be discouraged by talk of catching up, lost learning and being left behind. but there is widespread recognition that home—schooling could never fully replace classroom teaching, so now, there�*s more money to help everyone get back on track and make sure every child can reach their potential. the department for education has announced another £400 million across england, meaning £1.7 billion has been allocated since the start of the pandemic. there�*s £200 million for secondary

schools to deliver face—to—face summer school activities, potentially focused on children moving up from primary school this year, and £18 million will support language development for the youngest children. schools have flexibility in how they spend some of the rest. the majority of it will go on one—to—one and small group tuition, targeted at the children who need it most. some teaching unions say much more is required, and it�*s teachers who know best what their pupils need. exactly how this help is delivered and whether it reaches the right children will be the key to determining the lasting impact on the lives of those who come through the most difficult school year. dan johnson, bbc news. more than 30,0000 women in england are being offered "do it at home" smear tests, as part of a trial by the nhs. experts hope the tests could be a way to encourage more women to get screened for early warnings of cervical cancer.

0ur health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. cervical cancer affects just over 3000 women a year in the uk. smear tests save lives by spotting the early signs and detecting the human papilloma virus, the biggest cause of the disease. but, many women don�*t get tested. grace says she missed her smear because she was just too busy, and only went after a friend begged her to go. she was shocked to discover she had severe abnormal cell changes. it was quite scary, especially because i didn�*t know that much about it. but, i�*m just so thankful that i went when i did. it could have been different, if i�*d left it even six months. to help women get tested, the nhs in england is now trialling home smear kits. they will be offered to more than 31,000 women aged 25—64, who are 15 months overdue for a check.

the trial is taking place in north london, which has one of the lowest uptakes of cervical screening. but the pandemic has significantly worsened the situation across the country, with 600,000 smear tests failing to go ahead in april and may last year, an increase of more than a third on the annual backlog. it is concerning because cervical screening is the best protection against developing cervical cancer. but a study such as this one is fantastic, as well, because it is offering, even though it isjust in london, it is offering those people who are overdue a different, easier, potentially, way to access screening right now. campaigners say the home smear kits should be rolled out across the country as quickly as possible if the trial is found to be safe, so that all women at risk of cervical cancer can be protected. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. alex salmond has pulled out of a hearing at the scottish parliament today where he was due to accuse nicola

sturgeon of misleading parliament. the move came after the parliament withdrew and then republished a revised version of one of mr salmond�*s submissions to the inquiry. scotland�*s prosecution service had raised concerns about its publication. mr salmond was cleared last year of sexual assault and an investigation by the scottish government was found to be unlawful. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley explains the story. alex salmond and nicola sturgeon used to be the closest political allies. here they are just a few days before scotland�*s independence referendum in 2014. now, though, a row between them could have significant implications for scotland. mr salmond has accused ms sturgeon of breaking the rules which ministers have to follow, the ministerial code. he says she has misled parliament. she denies it, but her opponents say, if it�*s true, she�*ll have to resign. and there�*s more. mr salmond has claimed senior figures around ms sturgeon are part of a malicious campaign

to remove him from public life and even send him to jail. the scottish parliament is investigating what went on. but that process has been bogged down in legal controversies. yesterday, the crown 0ffice told msps to take parts of mr salmond�*s evidence down from the parliament�*s website. it claimed there could be contempt of court. the big question now is whether we will hear from alex salmond in person. he had been due to appear before the inquiry today. he has pulled out but said he�*s willing to come in the week. this huge row is reaching its climax and it could have big implications for the snp and independence, just weeks before the scottish election. nick eardley, bbc news. you might remember last week we showed you some incredible pictures of turtles that were left cold—stunned by a winter storm in texas — well we�*ve got an update for you this morning. thousands of them

have been released back into the sea via a slide. the rehabilitation centre said more than 2,000 were returned to the wild over the weekend after an "exhaustive 24—hour effort". the team say they are still rescuing hundreds a day from the cold weather. it is just absolutely wonderful. they seem to know exactly what to do on the slide, to get ready for the dive in. you think that they are taking a pose? it looks like they are ready to plunge. aren�*t the people just placing them in the right place? we will have a look next time! now the weather with carol. looks like it might be an interesting day.— looks like it might be an interesting day. looks like it might be an interestin: da . . �*, ., interesting day. that's right, for man of interesting day. that's right, for many of us _ interesting day. that's right, for many of us it — interesting day. that's right, for many of us it will— interesting day. that's right, for many of us it will be _ interesting day. that's right, for many of us it will be dry - interesting day. that's right, for many of us it will be dry but - interesting day. that's right, for many of us it will be dry but for| many of us it will be dry but for some of us we will continue with rain. we�*ve had heavy overnight rain

across parts of cumbria but one thing you will notice as it is mild, a mild start, it is going to be a mild day. we have a range of temperatures, in cornwall, already 13 degrees, london, cardiff, manchester, 12, edinburgh 11 and belfast ten, so you get the picture. but we have all this rain across the north and west of the uk. blustery winds across the board today, but especially towards the west. and we will see some sunshine across northern scotland at times, and across central and eastern and eastern england. these are the sustained wind speeds, but you can see towards the west it is going to be that bit stronger and the gusts will be higher than that. temperatures today, between nine and 17, 17 if we see the cloud break for long enough and the sun come out for long enough and the sun come out for long enough, way above average for this time of year. this evening and

overnight, a band of rain, if anything, moves further east and tends to weaken. there will be lots of cloud ahead of it, still gusty across the north—west, continuing with some showers, and a cooler night than the one just gone, but still these temperatures are higher than you would expect overnight at this stage in february. i will have a longer forecast this stage in february. i will have a longerforecast in half—an—hour. but for now, back to charlie and mcreddie. —— charlie and lou. being able to enjoy a walk in the countryside has provided a vital escape for lots of us during the pandemic but the national trust says it�*s taking its toll on our beauty spots. an increase in the number of visitors and the effects of winter weather mean habitats are being destroyed, as breakfast�*sjohn maguire reports. nestled on the edge of bristol, clinging to the top of the avon gorge, leigh woods is a popular place to escape the city for an hour or two.

before the lockdown, before corona, hadn�*t come up here in years so it�*s really been for me, working from home, a really big thing, really breaks up the day, just nice to get out into this wonderful open space. try to get out every day and do something, and actually being able to walk from home is really nice, sort of, locally. it's surprising what's on your doorstep. but with popularity comes problems. it�*sjust basically turning into mud. you can�*t blame people, but, yeah, it�*s a huge effect. visitor numbers here doubled last year due to lockdowns and after a very wet winter, paths have become mud baths. what should it be normally like, this path? we�*d have a sea of colours in a couple of months�* time, we would have pinks and yellows and blues, anenomes and celandine and common spotted orchids all along the side. so it would be very, very colourful. and then we�*ve got some nice green pasture and as you can

see at the moment, it looks very different. so the grassland at leigh woods is priority habitat, because it�*s so special for the different sort of flowers and things that grow in it. the insects that live in it. and then obviously things that feed on the insects, so we�*ve got seven species of bat here that would be feeding on the insects living on the grassland so without the grass here, we are losing habitat and then we�*re losing species all the way up. and the concern is that if the damage is too severe, the flora and fauna will not recover. in this national trust video from hatfield forest in essex, you can see the pathway of special matting they have laid to protect the ground. and here in the lake district, £500,000 is spent each year on repairs as part of a scheme called fix the fells. we�*ve got a stone path that people ideally would stick to, and beside that you can see where the area has been worn away by people leaving

the path and creating what we call pigeonholes. we are asking people to stick to the path, wear the appropriate footwear, and if you have to step off the path, step off to the side and then step back on and carry on on your way. social distancing doesn�*t help as people try to stay further apart and as a result, inadvertently wear down the edges of the paths. well, we are seeing unprecedented numbers of visitors to our green spaces, our countryside sites. sometimes double if not triple the numbers, the usual visitors. and of course that is fantastic, we want people to come and visit, get some fresh air, it�*s fantastic for everyone�*s health and well—being. but of course that comes with the added impact of erosion to the footpath and the footpath is getting wider and getting muddy and compaction on the footpath. so the advice is to channel your inner child. don your wellies, and stomp in the puddles and the mud. your boots may get dirty but you�*ll be helping to protect some of our precious natural places. john maguire, bbc news, bristol.

you have just got to go straight for the puddles. when i go out for a run and it is muddy i think the first puddle is the worst paddle and just go through it. lots of puddles around at the moment! let�*s take a look at today�*s papers. the sun leads with tiger woods�* car crash — "tiger horror smash" is the headline. with a dramatic picture of the wreckage. the front page of the times also carries a picture of the golf star�*s car — and its main story focuses on speculation that the chancellor could use next week�*s budget to extend the current stamp duty holiday. "the great british take—0ff" is the splash in the mirror — it�*s after a surge in foreign holiday bookings following the prime minister�*s lockdown announcement about the road map out of lockdown. it is probably worth saying as well if you didn�*t see the beginning of the programme, there has been an update on the last few minutes in

connection with tiger woods. the statement on his own twitter feed, the details from his surgeon saying he has suffered significant orthopaedic injuries, burns foot and ankle have been stabilised with screws and pins and there has been trauma damage to the muscle and soft tissue of his leg. we will find out the detail throughout the programme for you this morning. he is currently awake, responsive and recovering in his hospital room. and it says thank you to the wonderful doctors and nurses at the hospital where he is being treated. john was speaking about how we have to look after the countryside. a beautiful picture here in the daily telegraph, albeit a little alarming which is that, this is in stjames�* park and london. you can see what is going on. someone has to earn a plastic water bottle into the water and pelicans have been chucking it around, and the suggestion in the

piece is that they mistook it for some kind of food or something. 0ne bird got the discarded rubbish into its beak and apparently then left the bottle behind. so no damage was done, but you can see how easily that would cause other problems. so many people watching so much tv at the moment, fans of line of duty will be delighted to hear there�*s going to be another series, so the sixth series could be shown next month which i would be very excited about, written byjed mercurio, but there could be a seven series and also bodyguard, which so many people love, may come back as well for a second series. bodyguard in which keeley hawes played the mp, have i got that right? i have watched a lot lately. it has got a bit blurred. that was quite some time ago. she was the mp and the bodyguard... and

this is a little update with dilyn the dog, one of the downing street residence. there has been a lot of discussion about what is going on. the prime minister was talking yesterday, saying that the dog stays, borisjohnson visiting a secondary school in london was asked about the future of dilyn the dog in downing street. why was that in question? i didn�*t know it was an issue. apparently he is not terribly well behaved. the dog! well, that happens, doesn�*t it? another picture which i will unveil gradually with a bit of origami! here, we have what looks like a formidable line of policemen having some kind of training. well armed with guns. and if i... if!

training. well armed with guns. and if i... if i open up the whole picture you will see that they are on roller blades! this is rollerblade clad members of the special security unit, for pakistan�*s these force, attached to the close protection unit, and the idea is, and it is a slightly odd image, but the idea is that they will try to crackdown on street crime through alleyways and lanes. and they can get about quickly on roller blades. they can zip around pretty quickly. talking about running now. for many people, a daily run is one of the few joys left during lockdown — but sadly for some, that�*s also being ruined. some joggers say they�*ve had to face appalling abuse from drivers and passers—by who heckle and shout at them. natalie bell has been speaking to some of those affected. it does happen pretty

much every run. people shouting things at me out of cars and vans. wahey! wolf—whistling, catcalling. people might try and run alongside me and shout things and then, you know, eventually they will give up. it makes me feel conscious when i go for a run on my own. comments about my figure, asking for inappropriate things. if you�*re running past someone and someone physically touches you and pushes you, it can really throw you off and it really shakes you up. some of the things women say about the abuse and harassment they face every week when they go out for a run. someone jumped out of a side alleyway and started chasing me. sophie from hull said she was left shaken after she was chased down a street by a man she didn�*t know. luckily i was fairly close to home so ijust ran as fast as i could. now i do get really paranoid passing people in the street.

and this, only in the last week, as sophie has been out running. horn honks and women say the problem has got much worse during lockdown because they can�*t run with friends or their local running club. usually i run in a big group of people so that does make you feel a lot more secure and if anyone, it�*s very rare that people do shout at a big group. parkruns are cancelled, races are cancelled. you can't go to the track. you've got no option but to go out on your own. i've got friends who, _ this has happened to them before and that's actually prevented them from going out running _ on their own, which is really upsetting, to be honest, - because at the moment we've not really got the opportunity - to exercise anywhere else. according to england athletics, a third of women have experienced some form of sexual harassment while running on their own and half fear for their personal safety. there are now calls for this to be taken more seriously and for women

to report incidents to the police. females in particular shouldn�*t feel that they have to put up with this. that�*s something that you can report. that could be harassment or public fear. if something is making you feel threatened, uncomfortable, that shouldn�*t be happening. you do have to think if that person's on the road, what are you trying to achieve? are you just trying to intimidate them? i say that they need to stop and they need to take a good look at themselves. it's not acceptable, really, and i think there needs to be more respect within the communities. if you have watched that, please get in touch with us if you have experienced that. the education secretary will be on later. you have so many questions you want to know about education at the moment, we will try to get through as many of

your questions as we can during that interview. amongst a raft of things being spoken about, the suggestion todayis being spoken about, the suggestion today is that some kind of summer schooling will be happening. this is the element we are trying to get to the element we are trying to get to the bottom of, will children be going in for lessons with teachers or is it a remote system to catch up on the time that has been lost �*s it is a bit unclear. we will try to find out more. still to come on breakfast... couples hoping to get married this year are still facing an uncertain few months, after borisjohnson warned thatjune 21st is the earliest possible date for full—size weddings. we�*ll be getting reaction from those in the industry. and from a couple who are hoping to get married. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. a number of lgbt refugees say they fear they could be forced back to their country of origin

because they are unable to prove they are gay. some have told bbc london they are not believed and asked inappropriate and intrusive questions by officials during interviews. the home office are yet to respond to the allegations. one woman from uganda says she has been left feeling traumautised. initially, when you apply for the asylum, there is a bit of hope. but as you go into immigration limbo, you start to lose hope, what is going to happen? will it be like after a few years and then we told you have to go back home, what is really going to happen to me? and it brings about a lot of depression, anxiety, because there are times i can�*t even sleep. the mayor of london has launched a new app to help people report online terrorist content. the ireport app was developed in partnership with the counter terrorism internet referral unit. it will allow londoners to report terrorist content anonymously via their smartphone. there are concerns that the lockdown has seen a rise in the promotion

of extremism material. for the first time home smear tests will be given to women who are overdue a check in parts of london. they will go to women aged 25—64 years old who live in the barnet, camden, islington, newham and tower hamlets areas where screening attendance is low. it�*s hoped the convenience and privacy of home testing will mean greater screening for hpv which can lead to cervical cancer. a serious cyber attack on hackney council last october is likely to cost the borough around £10 million, according to its mayor. the attack stopped several council services and resulted in personal data stolen and published on the dark web. let�*s take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube there�*s a good service across all lines. 0n the roads the a501 is down to one lane westbound by baker streee station. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning.

well, it�*s an exceptionally mild start this morning and it�*s going to be an exceptionally mild day. we do have quite a bit of cloud around, but it is quite high so some bright spells this morning, hazy sunny spells throughout the course of the day. still quite blustery, not quite as blustery as yesterday but still a noticeable breeze. thicker areas of cloud, the odd spot of rain but largely dry and temperatures reaching a maximum of 15, maybe even 16 celsius. 0vernight tonight we will see some clear spells to start with but the front that has been waiting in the wings in the west for the last couple of days gradually works its way towards us. there is not too much rain on it, cannot rule out the odd spot but the cloud will thicken. temperatures dropping down to between seven and 10 celsius. a largely cloudy day tomorrow, but come friday, you will see that high pressure building in from the south. squeezing everything out of the way. so the windfalls a lot lighter post thursday and we will see plenty of fine and dry weather. and temperatures staying in double figures. i�*m back in half an hour.

plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning. england�*s road map out of lockdown gave a glimmer of hope for foreign travel but where can you go and when? we�*ll be looking at all the key dates for holiday makers as bookings for overseas travel soar. we�*ll be speaking to jack berry. the autistic teenager�*s paintings of planes helped raise money for military charities, now he�*s getting an award from the prime minister. and you may remember barbara and arthur simper who we spoke to in december after they received their first vaccine. well, they had their second dose yesterday and are hoping it will bring them a step closer to being reunited with their family.

an nhs trial will see more than 30,000 women in london offered kits to carry out smear tests at home. if successful, it could be rolled out across england. let�*s speak to our gp, dr zoe norris. good morning. and thank you for joining us. tell us what you know about this pilot, what they�*re going to try and do. it�*s about this pilot, what they're going to try and da— to try and do. it's really exciting, and a very _ to try and do. it's really exciting, and a very different _ to try and do. it's really exciting, and a very different way - to try and do. it's really exciting, and a very different way of - to try and do. it's really exciting, and a very different way of doing | and a very different way of doing smear tests. what they are doing is sending out a straightforward swab, which will detect the hpv virus, which will detect the hpv virus, which we know is implicated in causing cervical cancer. so women will be able to pick up whether or not they have this virus present and if they do they will be invited to the surgery to have the traditional smear test. so much more accessible to a lot of women, more convenient and will encourage people to have

their smear tests. the and will encourage people to have their smear tests.— their smear tests. the obvious auestion their smear tests. the obvious question is. — their smear tests. the obvious question is, is _ their smear tests. the obvious question is, is it _ their smear tests. the obvious question is, is it easy - their smear tests. the obvious question is, is it easy to - their smear tests. the obvious question is, is it easy to do? l their smear tests. the obvious j question is, is it easy to do? it is, really easy to do. we have had women taking self vaginal swabs for a number of years for other conditions, this is no different. nine out of ten women are able to get a good result with this. and it is very, very straightforward. it�*s a simple case of following the instructional video and inserting what looks like a long cotton bud up till a marker on the edge of the cotton bud, and then putting it back inner —— mcgre into the tube, not uncomfortable or painful. that wasn't going — uncomfortable or painful. that wasn't going to _ uncomfortable or painful. that wasn't going to be _ uncomfortable or painful. that wasn't going to be my - uncomfortable or painful. that wasn't going to be my next question. wasn�*t going to be my next question. —— that was going to be my next question, is it painful? ida. -- that was going to be my next question, is it painful?— question, is it painful? no, not ainful, question, is it painful? no, not painful. i— question, is it painful? no, not painful, ithink_ question, is it painful? no, not painful, i think a _ question, is it painful? no, not painful, i think a lot _ question, is it painful? no, not painful, i think a lot of- question, is it painful? no, not painful, i think a lot of people | question, is it painful? no, not. painful, i think a lot of people can find the side of the equipment that we use intimidating in a regular search smear test that this is very

safely during covid, the extra time it takes, the resources required. but for a lot of women prior to that, they didn�*t particularly like going for smear tests, uptake was very variable, especially in certain parts of the country like london. hopefully this will give a different opportunity for women to keep themselves safe.— opportunity for women to keep themselves safe. let's talk about covid, you _ themselves safe. let's talk about covid, you mentioned _ themselves safe. let's talk about covid, you mentioned it. - themselves safe. let's talk about covid, you mentioned it. how- themselves safe. let's talk about covid, you mentioned it. how is i covid, you mentioned it. how is vaccine roll—out going in your area? reasonably well, the challenges are much the same as they were, we are moving on to cohorts five and six patients who are clinically vulnerable for other reasons and over the age of 70. it is the same issues with vaccine supply, it is very intimate, we cannot order the vaccine we are just told when it is coming. so it is tricky to organise. and now we can give second doses

when we get the supply in. there is talk of vaccine _ when we get the supply in. there is talk of vaccine certificates, - when we get the supply in. there is talk of vaccine certificates, what . talk of vaccine certificates, what are your thoughts on that? personally i am a big fan of faxing certificates, i think having a way of demonstrating a way that you are vaccinated is helpful and allows businesses and venues to open more safely because they can confirm that. ,., ., ., safely because they can confirm that. ., . ~' safely because they can confirm that. ., ., ~ ., ., ~ that. good to talk to you, thank you very much- — that. good to talk to you, thank you very much- very _ that. good to talk to you, thank you very much. very informative, - that. good to talk to you, thank you very much. very informative, thank| very much. very informative, thank you. sally�*s got the sport. a lot of sports people reacting to the news we are getting this warning about the accident, tiger woods, he is ok. tiger woods is awake, responsive and recovering after having emergency surgery on his leg following a car crash in los angeles. there have been many messages of support for woods from the world of sport.

his former girlfiend, 0lympic skiier lindsay vonn, said she was praying for him. while british golferjustin rose said "we know how tough you are, we�*ve seen it a hundred times. hoping and praying you�*re 0k." tottenham and wales footballer gareth bale, himself a keen golfer, said "get well soon champ". just after this bulletin we will be updating you with the very latest on this situation on tiger woods. it was a great night for chelsea in the champions league. they beat atletico madrid 1—0 in the first leg of their last 16 tie. the game was played in bucharest because of covid travel restrictions. the only goal of the game came from striker 0livier giroud. and what a goal it was. that�*s his sixth champions league goal of the season and definitely the best of the lot! meanwhile the england under 21 internationaljamal musiala became the youngest english player to score in the champions league. he�*sjust 17, and he got bayern munich�*s second in their 4—1 win over lazio in rome.

southampton�*s poor run of form in the premier league continues. they were beaten 3—0 by leeds united at elland road. raphinha with the pick of the goals. it�*s now eight league matches without a win for southampton. now, imagine you�*re 19 years old, you�*ve just made your first team debut and a career as a footballer is in front of you. then one header in training changes everything. that�*s exactly what happened to bobby copping. he�*d made the breakthrough at the league one side peterborough united, but he�*s now had to retire because of a head injury. i headed a ball and sort of, my career is finished. i sort of had a mini seizure, i lost my vision, my whole left side went numb, i couldn�*t feel anything, i couldn�*t talk, couldn�*t move. just

ahead, and that is what makes it scary —— it was just a header. that is what is scary, health quickly things can change. i was absolutely flying, playing really well, and doing anything i could to be the best i can. i went straight to hospital, went to hospitalforfour days, had various scans and procedures, ifully days, had various scans and procedures, i fully recovered, days, had various scans and procedures, ifully recovered, i thought it was a one—off and a freak accident. when it happened the second time, i saw a specialist and he goes into it more and diagnosed me with trauma triggering episodes. whether when i get a trauma to the head, whether it was a header, or whatever, i get a period of numbness

in my left side. i was in my room for about two weeks, curtain closed and thinking about it all day because i thought, that is my career over, what am i going to do now? all they want to do is fitful and even though that was months ago, i�*m still left with memory problems, i can�*t be a passenger in a car because i�*m left with really bad sickness. —— all i wanted to do is football. harry came sending me the shed and he reached out and said, i was really surprised, and he said, it is a horrible situation and when lockdown is over and covid is out of the way he�*s going to take me for a meal out in london. really, really nice of him. everyone from the gaffer to the manager, the

safeguarding officer, the physios and sports scientists, everyone involved in the club has been amazing. what the club have done for me in finding this new role for me as well has been amazing and like i say, i cannot thank them enough for everything they have done. my objective now is to help other people, whether that be raising awareness for head injuries in football or any other sport, or raising awareness for mental health because i know at one point after what happened and all through it, it has been a struggle. if i can help as many people as possible get through dark patches and raise awareness for certain things, i will be a happy man. thank you to bobby for speaking to us and telling us his powerful story and we wish him well.

thank you very much. tiger woods has undergone surgery overnight after he suffered serious leg injuries in a car crash in los angeles. golf writer dan rapaport was with him the day before the accident, we can speak to him now. good morning to you. you probably have had the very latest statement in relation to it but for those people who have not yet this morning, the good part of this is the statement says, tiger woods is currently a awake, responsive and recovering in his hospital room so thatis recovering in his hospital room so that is a relief.— that is a relief. absolutely and if ou saw that is a relief. absolutely and if you saw the _ that is a relief. absolutely and if you saw the images _ that is a relief. absolutely and if you saw the images that - that is a relief. absolutely and if you saw the images that were i that is a relief. absolutely and if| you saw the images that were on social media and all over the news broadcast over here yesterday, it did not look like only a leg injury situation, it looked much more serious than that. the car was quite far from the roadway, serious than that. the car was quite farfrom the roadway, there serious than that. the car was quite far from the roadway, there were serious damage to the front and back of the car. it was a really horrific

scene. if he did, i don�*t want to say escape because the injuries are quite serious, his leg was basically crushed, if he got out of this without life—threatening injuries and no injuries to his head and chest and it is confined to his legs, given how bad it could have been, it is not the worst outcome in the world. , ., , ., been, it is not the worst outcome in the world. , . , ., ~ ., been, it is not the worst outcome in the world. , ., i. ~ ., ., the world. given what you know about the world. given what you know about the sort, the world. given what you know about the sport. we — the world. given what you know about the sport, we have _ the world. given what you know about the sport, we have been _ the world. given what you know about the sport, we have been told - the world. given what you know about the sport, we have been told in - the world. given what you know about the sport, we have been told in this i the sport, we have been told in this statement that he had open fractures affecting upper and lower portions of his tibia and fibula bones, a rod inserted into the tibia and injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle. you don�*t have to know a lot about golf to know that these are real areas of concern for anyone, let alone someone who plays at the level that he does. alone someone who plays at the level that he does-— that he does. what comes to mind is not all broken _ that he does. what comes to mind is not all broken legs _ that he does. what comes to mind is not all broken legs are _ that he does. what comes to mind is not all broken legs are created - not all broken legs are created equal, this was a traumatic injury.

the leg was broken into multiple pieces and the bones pierced the skin, the leg was basically crushed. this leg basically had to be rebuilt. and when you combine that with all the other injuries he has had in his career, five back surgeries, he was recovering from that, that is now on hold because he cannot do the exercises he needs to rehab and all the injuries to his left knee, it is another massive hurdle for 45—year—old man to potentially overcome if he wants to play competitive golf again. if there is one guy who can do it, it is tiger woods. we wrote him off before the spinalfusion is tiger woods. we wrote him off before the spinal fusion surgery in 2017 and after that he won the masters. never count him out but this is the steepest mountain he has had to climb. you this is the steepest mountain he has had to climb-—

the sheriff said it was a problem area, it is a very winding road. the course is called rolling hills so it is not flat around the property, and in that part of the road they have seen multiple high—speed crashes, it has been an area for cautioning people with signs saying that you cannot go fast and it is easy to lose control. this is not the first serious crash that they had seen on that stretch of road. the serious crash that they had seen on that stretch of road.— that stretch of road. the most important _ that stretch of road. the most important thing _ that stretch of road. the most important thing is _ that stretch of road. the most important thing is his - that stretch of road. the most important thing is his welfare | important thing is his welfare firstly, and we have the detail from the hospital and there is relatively good news in relation to that but it is inescapable to think about the impact on this on the sport. and on golf more generally because he is the biggest star the sport has ever had. ba; the biggest star the sport has ever had. �* , . ~ the biggest star the sport has ever had. �*, . ~ .. ., the biggest star the sport has ever had. �*, . ~ ., ., had. by far. i think the reaction to this sa s had. by far. i think the reaction to this says it — had. by far. i think the reaction to this says it all, _ had. by far. i think the reaction to this says it all, he _ had. by far. i think the reaction to this says it all, he is _ had. by far. i think the reaction to this says it all, he is 45 _ had. by far. i think the reaction to this says it all, he is 45 years i this says it all, he is 45 years old, not in his prime, number 50 this says it all, he is 45 years old, not in his prime, number50 in the world, not the best golfer in the world, not the best golfer in the world, not the best golfer in the world right now, and this car crash is a leading basically every

newscast in the entire world. he has transcended the sport. before tiger woods, golf in the us, and i imagine the world, a french sport which was the world, a french sport which was the domain of rich white men —— it was a fringe sport which was the domain of rich white men and tiger came along and made it cool, he made young people want to play, he made athletes who had never considered golf want to be golfers. what he has done for the sport is immeasurable in terms of prize money and exposure and the best measure of that is how much his fellow players revere him, he is a god for them. he has been so open and generous with his time for the younger players, he has taken on this father figure role. the younger players, he has taken on this fatherfigure role. he is the gentleman of the tour. it is a tough one, because he really is the biggest star by far on the pga tour and even though he is not the best player in the world any more, anywhere near his prime, there is still a different feeling when tiger woods is at a golf tournament to

when he is not. so it is a crushing blow to the sport in general. appreciate your time this morning. dan rappaport, a correspondence with golf digests and was working with him only yesterday. we golf digests and was working with him only yesterday.— golf digests and was working with him only yesterday. we know that he is currently awake _ him only yesterday. we know that he is currently awake and _ him only yesterday. we know that he is currently awake and responsive i is currently awake and responsive and recovering in his hospital room but more _ and recovering in his hospital room but more details will emerge. let's -et but more details will emerge. let's get the _ but more details will emerge. let's get the weather now with carol. good morning. iwill start good morning. i will start off with this lovely picture of london sent in by our weather watchers, look at this skyline. we are looking at another blustery day, winds not as strong as yesterday, more rain but it is a mild start. mild start which will continue through the day. the cloud has been producing some rain for some of us, the lake district had 75 millimetres in the last 24

hours, three inches. and there is more rain today. you can see it extending through wales in the south—west. a few showers in scotland, sunshine in the final. the other end of the weather front, you can see we will have some sunshine further south. across some parts of wales, central and central eastern england, hazy sun at times. gusty winds towards the west. temperature —wise, nine to 15 or 16, but in any prolonged spells of sunshine in eastern england, we could hit 17 or 18 degrees, way above average for this stage in february. this evening and overnight, we still have the rain but it will be drifting towards the east with all of its cloud and it will weaken. behind it, showers especially across the north and the west, and although it will be a colder night than last night, these temperatures are still above average for overnight temperatures at this

time of year. as we go into tomorrow, the weather front will still be with us in the south—east, producing some cloud and patchy rain. this weather front across the north west will bring in some showers and some of those will merge to give some longer spells of rain. in between those two areas, there will be a lot of dry weather, the odd shower as far south as north wales. and the wind direction more southerly so temperature is not as high. eight to 12 degrees, closer than average but if anything, a bit above. i dry start on friday, some frost and patchy mist and fog to start with, which will lift, a fair bit of sunshine, areas of cloud could produce some sunshine across the north west. eight to 13 degrees. into the weekend, the high pressure takes charge of the weather. i find moving around the top of it, northern ireland, northern scotland,

the north west of scotland, —— there will be a front moving around the top of it. drier, lighter winds, chilly night and some patchy fog over the weekend. couples hoping to get married this year are still facing an uncertain few months after the government announced the earliest date for a full—sized wedding in england isjune 21st. let�*s speak now to wedding venue owner and bride—to—be lara gill, and a couple who have already postponed their wedding twice, victoria emerson and luke hastie. good morning, everyone. good morning- _ good morning, everyone. good morning. let's _ good morning, everyone. good morning. let's start _ good morning, everyone. good morning. let's start with i good morning, everyone. good morning. let's start with there | morning. let's start with there would be married _ morning. let's start with there would be married couple, i morning. let's start with there i would be married couple, victoria and luke. tell us a little story, you got engaged, and we should say victoria, you are a doctor in the nhs? , ., ., .,

and asked inappropriate and intrusive questions by officials during interviews. the home office are yet to respond to the allegations. one woman from uganda says she has been left feeling traumautised. initially, when you apply for the asylum, there is a bit of hope. but as you go into immigration limbo, you start to lose hope, what is going to happen? will it be like after a few years and then i�*ll be told you have to go back home, what is really going to happen to me? and it brings about a lot of depression, anxiety, because there are times i can�*t even sleep. for the first time, home smear tests will be given to women who are overdue a check in parts of london they will go to women aged 25—64 years old who live in the barnet, camden, islington, newham and tower hamlets areas — where screening attendance is low. it�*s hoped the convenience and privacy of home testing will mean greater screening for hpv — which can lead to cervical cancer.

the mayor of london has launched a new app to help people report online terrorist content. the ireport app was developed in partnership with the counter terrorism internet referral unit. it will allow londoners to report terrorist content anonymously. there are concerns that the lockdown has seen a rise in extreme material. a serious cyber—attack on hackney council last october is likely to cost the borough around £10 million, according to its mayor. the attack stopped several council services and resulted in personal data being stolen and published on the dark web. let�*s take a look at the travel situation now... 0n the roads, the a2 is slow westbound through the roadworks at da nson interchange. 0n the a14: finchley rd partially blocked at hendon way — because of a burst water main. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it�*s an exceptionally mild start this morning and it�*s going to be

an exceptionally mild day. we do have quite a bit of cloud around, but it is quite high so some bright spells this morning, hazy sunny spells throughout the course of the day. still quite blustery, not quite as blustery as yesterday but still a noticeable breeze. thicker areas of cloud, the odd spot of rain but largely dry and temperatures reaching a maximum of 15, maybe even 16 celsius. 0vernight tonight we will see some clear spells to start with but the front that has been waiting in the wings in the west for the last couple of days gradually works its way towards us. there is not too much rain on it, can�*t rule out the odd spot, but the cloud will thicken. temperatures dropping down to between seven and 10 celsius. a largely cloudy day tomorrow, but come friday, you will see that high pressure building in from the south. squeezing everything out of the way. so the windfalls a lot lighter post—thursday and we will see plenty of fine and dry weather. and temperatures staying in double figures. i�*m back in half an hour. bye for now.

after seven on tuesday morning. the golf legend�*s suv had been travelling at speed before it flipped and rolled multiple times, sustaining extensive damage. no skid marks, no breaking, so apparently, the first contact was with the centre median and from there, then, across into the opposing lane of traffic, hit the kerb, hit a tree, and there was several rollovers during that process. the sporting icon was pulled from the wreckage, conscious, and authorities say, lucky to be alive. paint that picture in your head. it is not _ paint that picture in your head. it is not a _ paint that picture in your head. it is not a pretty one. the leg was basically— is not a pretty one. the leg was basically crushed. this was a leg that basically had to be rebuilt. when _ that basically had to be rebuilt. when you — that basically had to be rebuilt. when you combine that with all the other— when you combine that with all the other injuries tiger has had in his career. _ other injuries tiger has had in his career. five — other injuries tiger has had in his career, five back surgeries, he was recovering — career, five back surgeries, he was recovering from one right now, that recovery— recovering from one right now, that recovery is — recovering from one right now, that recovery is on hold, he cannot stand up recovery is on hold, he cannot stand up and _ recovery is on hold, he cannot stand up and do _ recovery is on hold, he cannot stand up and do the injuries he needs to come _ up and do the injuries he needs to come rehab, and the injuries to his left knee. —

a fifth masters victory that reverberated way beyond sport. his injuries, while serious, are not thought to be life—threatening. they could be career—threatening, though, for the legendary golfer, who was already recuperating from his fifth back surgery. recovery now could be the greatest challenge he�*s ever faced. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. 0ur north america correspondent david willis is in los angeles. hearing the extent of these injuries, it is a relief to hear that he is conscious.- injuries, it is a relief to hear that he is conscious. going back to that he is conscious. going back to that statement _ that he is conscious. going back to that statement you _ that he is conscious. going back to that statement you mentioned i that he is conscious. going back to that statement you mentioned in l that he is conscious. going back to i that statement you mentioned in your introduction that has been released introduction that has been released in the last hour or so, it says that tiger woods is awake, responsive and recovering after surgery. the statement says that he suffered fractures to his lower right leg and

ankle, which have been stabilised with screws and pins. that, after his luxury suv left the road and went careering down a bank, hitting a tree and a kerb and rolling over several times. the first person to reach the scene of this collision said it was a miracle that tiger woods had survived. had he not had a seat belt on, had he not been driving a robust vehicle, it all could have been quite tragically different. but tiger woods had said early this last weekend that he was hoping to be back after a recent bout of surgery, in time for the forthcoming masters tournament in augusta georgia, in april, just seven weeks away. well, that seems very unlikely now, i have to say, louise. . , ., ~ ., louise. david willis, thank you for the update- _

secondary schools in england will be asked to run summer classes as part of the government�*s plans to catch up on lost learning caused by the pandemic. borisjohnson has announced an extra £400 million of funding, on top of £300 million pledged injanuary to fund additional lessons and tuition. teaching unions say much more investment is needed, and that it should be up to schools to decide how they spend the money. let�*s speak to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. this is a week of details, isn�*t it? there is a little bit of detail here. there are still questions, artwork there? we will be speaking to gavin williamson later.— to gavin williamson later. breaking it down, to gavin williamson later. breaking it down. some _ to gavin williamson later. breaking it down, some of _ to gavin williamson later. breaking it down, some of this _ to gavin williamson later. breaking it down, some of this money i to gavin williamson later. breaking it down, some of this money has i to gavin williamson later. breaking i it down, some of this money has been announced already and has gone on stuff that was already happening, which is teetering one on one or in small groups so that pupils can catch up, and another big thing that is new today is the recovery premium which will go to schools in england to spend how they want as long as it

goes on the most disadvantaged kids. that could be things like summer schools. what the government has not gone for something some people were calling for which is big, blanket measures like extending the school day everywhere or extending the length of the school term, and reducing the length of the holidays. the government has not pursued those options, although they are leaving it up to schools to do extra things in the summer if they want, as we were discussing. it is interesting. some in the education world think that all this focus on the idea of catching up and pupils being left behind is actually a bit intimidating and not that good for the pupils themselves. also, there is the fact that this isn�*t just the job for this term of the summer term of the summer holidays. lots of educationalists say that this will have an impact on learning for pupils for years to come. so, i have a feeling that we will be discussing the effects of the pandemic on children�*s education, on this

generation of children for quite a long time to come.— generation of children for quite a long time to come. we heard yesterday from the scottish first minister nicola sturgeon, who was unveiling a �*deliberately cautious�* route out of lockdown. she said it was hoped that the country�*s stay at home restrictions could be lifted on the 5th of april and shops, bars, and restaurants can reopen from the 26th of april. 0ur scotland reporter alexandra mackenzie is in glasgow for us this morning. people have had a little bit of time to digest this cautious approach, and that is a theme. we have heard that in england as well. what do people make up the timescale that has been presented? this people make up the timescale that has been presented?— has been presented? as you say, nicola sturgeon _ has been presented? as you say, nicola sturgeon has _ has been presented? as you say, nicola sturgeon has been - nicola sturgeon has been deliberately cautious here. she is saying this is an extremely precarious situation. she has faced criticism from business sectors, from opposition leaders. they say it doesn�*t go far enough. it only takes us to the end of april. it lacks

clarity, it lacks detail. nicola sturgeon has defended this and said it is the right approach. we have seen some easing already this week. we have seen some pupils going back to school. there will not be any further easing of restrictions for another three weeks and we are likely to see more children going back to school, we are likely to see people being able to meet outside in groups of fourfrom people being able to meet outside in groups of four from two households, thenit groups of four from two households, then it will be another three weeks, and the aim is to get all school pupils back at that time, and to lift the stay at home rule, and then, on the 26th of april, the aim is to start opening up the economy, so we may see gyms, hairdressers and restaurants, pubs, being able to open then and scotland will move from lockdown and back into the geographical levels that we had at the end of last year.—

has had to undergo some serious surgery to his legs overnight. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. a number of lgbt refugees say they fear they could be forced back to their country of origin because they are unable to prove they are gay. some have told bbc london they are not believed and asked inappropriate and intrusive questions by officials during interviews. the home office are yet to respond to the allegations. one woman from uganda told us about her experience. initially, when you apply for the asylum, there is a bit of hope. but as you go into immigration limbo, you start to lose hope, what is going to happen? will it be like after a few years and then i'll be told you have to go back home, what is really going to happen to me? and it brings about a lot

of depression, anxiety, because there are times i can't even sleep. for the first time, home smear tests will be given to women who are overdue a check in parts of london. they will go to women aged between 25 and 64 who live in the barnet, camden, islington, newham and tower hamlets areas where screening is low. it's hoped the extra convenience and privacy will mean greater screening for hpv which can lead to cervical cancer. rogue landlords in east london have been forced to pay tenants back, £200,000 after being served with repayment orders. the landlords are accussed of threatening tenants with violence, illegally evicting them orfailing to properly license the home. nearly 70 tenants have had their rents back after tower hamlets council brought in the orders. a serious cyber attack on hackney council last october is likely to cost the borough around according to its mayor. the attack stopped several council services and resulted in personal

data being stolen and published on the dark web. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. 0n the trains, disruption on thameslink services between st pancras and st albans due to over—running engineering works. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it's an exceptionally mild start this morning and it's going to be an exceptionally mild day. we do have quite a bit of cloud around, but it is quite high so some bright spells this morning, hazy sunny spells throughout the course of the day. still quite blustery, not quite as blustery as yesterday but still a noticeable breeze. thicker areas of cloud, the odd spot of rain but largely dry and temperatures reaching a maximum of 15, maybe even 16 celsius. 0vernight tonight we will see some clear spells to start with but the front that has been waiting in the wings in the west for the last couple of days gradually works its way towards us. there is not too much rain on it, can't rule out the odd spot, but the cloud will thicken. temperatures dropping down to between seven and 10 celsius. a largely cloudy day tomorrow,

but come friday, you will see that high pressure building in from the south. squeezing everything out of the way. so the windfalls a lot lighter post—thursday and we will see plenty of fine and dry weather. and temperatures staying in double figures. i'm back in half an hour. i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. secondary schools will get additional funding to run classes during the summer holidays. it's part of the government's multi—million—pound plan to help children in england who have faced disruption as a result of the pandemic. borisjohnson has announced an extra £400 million for a number of schemes across all school ages on top of the £300 million pledged last month.

we're joined now by the education secretary, gavin williamson. good morning, thank you very much indeed and so many questions for you. let's talk about the new funding, what is it designed for, will it mean summer school for example? it will it mean summer school for example?— will it mean summer school for exam le? , ., ., ., ., example? it is aimed to give a real boost to children _ example? it is aimed to give a real boost to children and _ example? it is aimed to give a real boost to children and actually - boost to children and actually support schools until and teachers in terms of helping catch up on lost learning that children may have suffered. it is about summer schools, there is 200 million available to secondary schools if they want to be able to lay on summer activities, for children, targeting those children they think would benefit from it most. but it's also about the expansion of our national tutoring programme and this is a small groups of children that will have tuition laid on to them, giving them that extra help and boost but on top of that, it is also

a recovery premium. 0ver boost but on top of that, it is also a recovery premium. over £300 million that will be going to both secondary schools and primary schools, and average primary school will receive an extra £6,000, an average secondary school, an average £22,000. and that is very much to give to the schools to use at their discretion, because they know their pupils best, to target the help to the children as best they can. let’s the children as best they can. let's talk about the _ the children as best they can. let's talk about the funding, _ the children as best they can. let's talk about the funding, £6,000 for a primary school. is talk about the funding, £6,000 for a primary school-— primary school. is that nearly enough? _ primary school. is that nearly enough? it — primary school. is that nearly enough? it is _ primary school. is that nearly enough? it is all— primary school. is that nearly enough? it is all built - primary school. is that nearly enough? it is all built on - primary school. is that nearly enough? it is all built on the | primary school. is that nearly l enough? it is all built on the £1 billion that we announced just six months ago in terms of helping children and helping schools in terms of dealing with some of the challenges that have come out of this pandemic. the package that we announce today is again giving schools the sense of what additional resources are heading towards them.

i'm just interested what you think they be able to provide for £6,000. for example, for £6,000, they may be able to employ teachers, to do some extra tuition, extra small group work for pupils who really need it. and the best boots we can give to children in terms of their education —— boost we can give the children in terms of their education recovery is getting them back into school and welcoming them back on the 8th of march. that is the best thing we can do in order to be able to help children who may be have missed out on lost learning, to get them back into the classroom, get schools to be able to make an assessment. we have seen some brilliant examples over the last few months about how different academy chains have done so much for the extra money that they got to be able to target that money, helping children, helping

give them that extra support and assistance to catch up on learning. you mentioned £6,000 and they would be able to get teachers, it doesn't cover one teacher, even the salary of one the teacher.— of one the teacher. when i was sa in: , of one the teacher. when i was saying. also — of one the teacher. when i was saying, also £22,000 - of one the teacher. when i was saying, also £22,000 for- of one the teacher. when i was - saying, also £22,000 for secondary schools on average and larger primary schools will have large amounts. what it does do is give schools the extra resource to be able to put extra pay for teachers to do over time, support staff to do over time, to help and assist with children to do that extra learning and extra bit of education, that extra support that goes the extra mile and helps children to be able to bounce back from this pandemic. youknow... find to bounce back from this pandemic. youknow- - -— youknow. .. and on top of that we have the national— youknow. .. and on top of that we have the national tutoring - youknow. .. and on top of that we - have the national tutoring programme which is an enormous scheme, multi—million pound scheme going over a number of years and the evidence goes to show those children

who are part of the national tutoring programme, —— having that small group learning, over a two—hour period over a week, they can catch up three to five months of lost learning which is a significant amount. ., ~ lost learning which is a significant amount. . ~ ., , , amount. talking about those students bein: able amount. talking about those students being able to — amount. talking about those students being able to catch _ amount. talking about those students being able to catch up, _ amount. talking about those students being able to catch up, so _ amount. talking about those students being able to catch up, so they - being able to catch up, so they would do that and not face—to—face, on a laptop, which many children still do not have.— on a laptop, which many children still do not have. what we have seen is a massive — still do not have. what we have seen is a massive expansion _ still do not have. what we have seen is a massive expansion of _ still do not have. what we have seen is a massive expansion of laptops . still do not have. what we have seen is a massive expansion of laptops as| is a massive expansion of laptops as you will know, before the pandemic schools had an estimated 2.9 million laptops and tablets already on the estate. we boosted that by a further 1 million, a further 300,000 going out there and great organisations such as the daily mail have been

running campaigns supporting even over and above that as well. so all of this has been making an enormous difference. we are very confident that the amount of it that is needed for schools is there and is available. we have seen a massive expansion of that. the national tutoring programme does deliver in terms of those small groups. it's often over the internet, but the resources are there for schools to use with that small group tutoring. there have been so many days lost, so many thousands of pupils affected by this. seriously disadvantaged over the last year also. can you guarantee that every single one, including those disadvantaged children, will have caught up by september?— children, will have caught up by september? children, will have caught up by setember? ~ . , , ., september? what we recognise is that different children... _ september? what we recognise is that different children... i— september? what we recognise is that different children... i think _ september? what we recognise is that different children... i think about - different children... i think about my two children and how they learn very differently. what we're doing

is recognising that children isn't just something that is over the next two or three or four months. this is something that is about the medium term, it's also about the long term. this is why we have appointed kevin collins to look at the recovery work, to look at what more can be donein work, to look at what more can be done in order to be able to help schools, most importantly help children in order to be able to recoverfrom any children in order to be able to recover from any lost learning that they have suffered from. but this is going to be a long—term programme that we recognise is going to take time in order to be able to put right. that is why we are taking a long—term view. but this immediate package is to deal with some of the immediate challenges, give schools a boost, give them support, but most importantly give children a boost. can ijust be clear, this package is not designed to have summer schools, a whole school going in in the summerfor an extra week?

a whole school going in in the summer for an extra week? there is £200 million — summer for an extra week? there is £200 million available. _ summer for an extra week? there is £200 million available. if— summer for an extra week? there is £200 million available. if we - summer for an extra week? there is £200 million available. if we look i £200 million available. if we look at what happened in the last summer, we saw the harris academy chain who did a brilliantjob in terms of laying on brilliant summer schools for some of those children coming into their schools, children that they identified as needing help to be able to catch up, that money is available for schools to use in that way. it is there to support them in terms of academic catch up but also some of the enrichment activities that we know all children have missed out on as well. but it is part of a long—term plan. it's part of a long—term strategy to help children and help our schools be able to recover and be able to bounce back incredibly quickly but the most important part of that is seeing children coming back on the 8th of march. seeing children coming back on the 8th of march-— 8th of march. i 'ust want to be clear, 8th of march. i 'ust want to be cearll just _ 8th of march. i 'ust want to be clear, just before — 8th of march. ijust want to be clear, just before we _ 8th of march. ijust want to be clear, just before we move - 8th of march. ijust want to be clear, just before we move on - 8th of march. ijust want to be clear, just before we move on to| clear, just before we move on to that, because there are questions around that, let'sjust

march the 8th, who will be doing the testing and how many times when a child be tested in that first week? in the first two weeks of school return, secondary schools, we are asking schools to test their pupil cohorts if they have consent from the parent three times during the two—week period. we are giving secondary school the ability to face children back over that first week, so that they are able to be tested and then able to go straight to their lessons. we have already got schools delivering these tests, and since we started rolling out this programme, in late december, and since schools have had these testing kits and the equipment, we have already seen 11.5 million tests carried out in education settings... can i put one question... it is can i put one question... it is already up — can i put one question... it is already up and _ can i put one question... it is already up and running. -

of getting covid. so we will wait for that scientific work to be conducted and done and that will advise the government decision as to who the next batch of people who will be getting the vaccine after stoplight briefly if you would on the masks in school, because you are asking secondary schools to ask their pupils to wear masks? itruiiiiii their pupils to wear masks? will teachers have _ their pupils to wear masks? will teachers have to wear masks and do the children have to wear them in the children have to wear them in the classroom? we the children have to wear them in the classroom?— the children have to wear them in the classroom? ~ . ., , the classroom? we are advising them that --eole the classroom? we are advising them that people should _ the classroom? we are advising them that people should be _ the classroom? we are advising them that people should be wearing - the classroom? we are advising them that people should be wearing masks| that people should be wearing masks and teachers can be wearing masks as well. there is busily, in the guidance we set out, there have be special dispensation for example for those children who are deaf, and we have set that out in terms of our guidance to schools which is incredibly important. this is also going to be reviewed at easter, to see how it is working. but we have

he's an amazing human being that has done incredible things. just hoping that out of this bad situation is the best possible outcome, and, you know, hope he can recover from it and we can see him on the golf course as early as possible. you just hope tiger is all right, you know, we all know he's a strong cookie, physically, mentally, so if someone is going to get through this, he will. and be back for the better, i'm sure. in the last hour neil lennon has resigned as manager of celtic. he's been in charge of the club since may 2019 and led them to two scottish titles. but they've struggled this season and are 18 points adrift of old firm rivals rangers in the premiership. lennon says he's worked hard to turn things around at celtic, but ultimately they've not been able to put together the type of run they needed. assistant managerjohn kennedy will now be in temporary charge of the team. it was a great night for chelsea in the champions league.

they beat atletico madrid 1—0 in the first leg of their last 16 tie. the game was played in bucharest because of covid travel restrictions. the only goal of the game came from striker 0livier giroud. and what a goal it was. that's his sixth champions league goal of the season and definitely the best of the lot! what a cracker that was. it was good! here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. how is it looking? very mixed, a chilly, good morning, everybody. 0nce chilly, good morning, everybody. once again today there is some rain in very similarareas, once again today there is some rain in very similar areas, a blustery day but also mild, and some of us will see some sunshine. there has

showers coming in across the west of scotland, being driven in on a strong wind. but tending to ease across england and wales. temperature wise, four in aberdeen, to ten in london. for the rest of tomorrow, the weather front still in the south—east producing a fair bit of cloud, also some patchy rain at times. and this little scamper across the west of scotland will enhance the showers and turn them into longer spells of rain but it will be a dry date mostly with some sunshine. temperature wise it will not be as mild as today but nonetheless, stilljust above nonetheless, still just above average nonetheless, stilljust above average for the time of year. eight to 12 degrees. as we head into friday, a cold start, some frost first thing and patchy mist and fog which will lift first thing. dry weather and sunshine. cloud crossing

scotland could produce the odd shower and temperatures are still above average, eight to 13 degrees. for the weekend, high pressure is in charge of the weather. 0n for the weekend, high pressure is in charge of the weather. on saturday, a couple of weather fronts cutting across northern ireland and northern scotland could produce some patchy rain but not much more than that. as we head into the weekend under the high pressure, it will be drier, the wind will be lighter, white knight it will be chilly and we could see a touch of frost. —— by night it will be chilly. the fog will drift into saturday and sunday so things quite lean down after a lot of rain this week. i don't know what you're talking about! sorry, lovely to see you, carol! almost 18 million people have had their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, and second doses are now being rolled out. 0ne couple who have

our headlines today: tiger woods has undergone surgery after a car crash in los angeles — he suffered serious leg injuries. the golfer had to be freed by emergency services but he was said to be conscious and is recovering in hospital. summer classes and extra tuition to help pupils in england catch up with lessons lost to covid. are we all going on a summer holiday? bookings surge after the recovery road map is revealed, but will we need a vaccine passport? will we have to quarantine? are travel agents really back in business? neil lennon resigns as manager of celtic. he leaves the scottish champions 18 points adrift of old firm rivals rangers at the top of the premiership table. good morning. it is a mild start to the day and the mild day generally. some rain in the forecast once

again. some sunshine, and we could see the highest temperatures of the year so far. i will tell you where thatis year so far. i will tell you where that is likely, later in the programme. it's wednesday february 24th. our top story. tiger woods has been undergoing surgery after suffering serious multiple injuries to his legs in a car crash in los angeles. earlier this morning his team released a statement saying rods and pins had been inserted into his shins by orthopaedic trauma surgeons, and that the golfer had also sustained injuries to the bones of his foot and ankle. it went on to say tiger was awake, responsive and recovering. our west coast correspondent sophie long has this report from los angeles. has anyone checked the vehicle to see if anyone's there? no. the emergency call came just after seven on tuesday morning. the golf legend's suv had been travelling at speed before it flipped and rolled multiple times, sustaining extensive damage. no skid marks, no braking,

so apparently, the first contact was with the centre median and from there, then, across into the opposing lane of traffic, hit the kerb, hit a tree, and there was several rollovers during that process. the sporting icon was pulled from the wreckage, conscious, and, authorities say, lucky to be alive. paint that picture in your head. it is not a pretty one. the leg was basically crushed. this was a leg that basically had to be rebuilt. when you combine that with all the other injuries tiger has had in his career, five back surgeries, he was recovering from one right now, that recovery is on hold, he cannot stand up and do the exercises he needs to come rehab, and the injuries to his left knee, it is a massive hurdle for a 45—year—old man to potentially overcome if he wants to ever play competitive golf again but if there is one guy who can do it it is tiger woods. news of the accident sent shock waves through the world of sport and beyond. i'm sick to my stomach.

you know, it hurts to see one of your, now, my closest friends, you know, getting in an accident. and ijust hope he's all right. tiger woods has inspired generations. i'm tiger woods. his story, one of the most compelling in the history of professional golf. a cultural icon who has overcome huge challenges in his professional and personal life. he reached the peak of his comeback just two years ago, when he triumphed at augusta. a fifth masters victory that reverberated way beyond sport. his injuries, while serious, are not thought to be life—threatening. they could be career—threatening, though, for the legendary golfer, who was already recuperating from his fifth back surgery. recovery now could be the greatest challenge he's ever faced. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. secondary schools in england will be asked to run summer classes as part of the government's plans

to help pupils catch up on lost learning caused by the pandemic. borisjohnson has announced an extra £400 million to fund additional lessons and tuition but teaching unions say much more investment is needed. let's speak to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. what is the scale of the problem that they are trying to address and, how do you go about addressing it successfully? so it is money but how does it work in practice weight they are still trying to work out the size of the problem and teachers will be doing that over the next few weeks when pupils return in england on the 8th of march, and the government admits that will be a long issue. government admits that will be a lona issue. , ., government admits that will be a long issue-— long issue. they have hired a recovery _ long issue. they have hired a recovery commissioner - long issue. they have hired a recovery commissioner who i long issue. they have hired a i recovery commissioner who will long issue. they have hired a - recovery commissioner who will be in charge of that over the next year or so. in the short term there is this money that has been allocated today. some of it is to stuff that was announced already, so more tuition

school day or extending the school term and reducing summer holidays, as some had suggested. also as gavin williamson was saying, all pupils in england going back on the 8th of march. i suspect that might be a little bit bumpier than people might wish because the big operation of giving all secondary school pupils three tests over two weeks is possibly easier said than done. i don't, thank you very much. —— adam, thank you very much. alex salmond has pulled out of a hearing at the scottish parliament today — where he was due to accuse nicola sturgeon of misleading parliament. the move came after the parliament withdrew and then republished a revised version of one of mr salmond's submissions to the inquiry. scotland's prosecution service had raised concerns about its publication. mr salmond was cleared last year of sexual assault — and an investigation by the scottish government was found to be unlawful. our political correspondent nick eardley explains the story. alex salmond and nicola sturgeon used to be the closest political allies.

here they are just a few days before scotland's independence referendum in 2014. now, though, a row between them could have significant implications for scotland. mr salmond has accused ms sturgeon of breaking the rules which ministers have to follow, the ministerial code. he says she has misled parliament. she denies it, but her opponents say, if it's true, she'll have to resign. and there's more. mr salmond has claimed senior figures around ms sturgeon are part of a malicious campaign to remove him from public life and even send him to jail. the scottish parliament is investigating what went on. but that process has been bogged down in legal controversies. yesterday, the crown office told msps to take parts of mr salmond's evidence down from the parliament's website. it claimed there could be contempt of court. the big question now is whether we will hear from alex salmond in person.

he had been due to appear before the inquiry today. he has pulled out but said he's willing to come later in the week. this huge row is reaching its climax and it could have big implications for the snp and independence, just weeks before the scottish election. nick eardley, bbc news. more than 30,000 women in england are being offered 'do it at home' smear tests, as part of a trial by the nhs. experts hope the tests could be a way to encourage more women to get screened for early warnings of cervical cancer. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. cervical cancer affects just over 3000 women a year in the uk, and smear tests save lives by spotting early signs and spotting the human papilloma virus, the biggest cause of the disease, but many women do not get tested. grace says she missed her smear test because she was too busy and only went after a friend begged her to go. she was shocked to discover she had severe abnormal cell changes. it

wherever you are, the wind not quite as strong as yesterday but the gusts will be stronger than these average wind speeds and especially so in the west. temperatures, nine in shetland, easily 15 further south, but in prolonged spells of sunshine we could hit 17 and may be 18 degrees, so if that happens it will be the warmest day of the year so far. this evening and overnight we continue with the rain, advancing eastwards, then the rain will turn more fragmented. behind it, gusty winds blowing in showers across western scotland, but the wind easing across england and wales. overnight lows, four in aberdeen, ten in london and although the temperatures are lower than last night, they are still high overnight lows for this time of year. charlie and lou. it lows for this time of year. charlie and lou. . , lows for this time of year. charlie and lou. .,, , ., ,, lows for this time of year. charlie and lou. .,, , ., i. ., and lou. it was below your hat off weather yesterday _ and lou. it was below your hat off weather yesterday afternoon. - and lou. it was below your hat off weather yesterday afternoon. it . weather yesterday afternoon. it really was. it

such as those moving up to year 7. one—to—one and small group tutoring schemes will be expanded while language support for pre—school children will also get a boost. the announcement comes on top of a £1 billion catch—up fund announced in june last year. it means £1.7 billion has been allocated to education recovery since the start of the pandemic. so how does this announcement affect families? let's speak to emily ellarby, she's got three children — one in primary school and two in secondary. good morning, thank you forjoining us. first question was how are they finding it at the moment? thea;r us. first question was how are they finding it at the moment?— finding it at the moment? they are feelin: finding it at the moment? they are feeling really _ finding it at the moment? they are feeling really jaded _ finding it at the moment? they are feeling really jaded by _ finding it at the moment? they are feeling really jaded by the - finding it at the moment? they are feeling really jaded by the online . feeling reallyjaded by the online learning. they have been at home for the whole of half term and into this next term. they are ready to be back at school. ~ ., ., , ., ~' next term. they are ready to be back at school. ~ ., ., , ., ~ ., at school. what do you think would hel them at school. what do you think would help them catch — at school. what do you think would help them catch up _ at school. what do you think would help them catch up the _ at school. what do you think would help them catch up the most, - at school. what do you think would help them catch up the most, and | at school. what do you think would l help them catch up the most, and do you think they need to catch up?

that it really difficult. if you ask the children they feel that they have not missed school, they feel they have been doing it at home, they have been doing it at home, they don't see the gaps in their learning that the adults around them see that they have had. i'm not sure that they would think they would need extra catch up work. this that they would think they would need extra catch up work.- need extra catch up work. as we understand _ need extra catch up work. as we understand so _ need extra catch up work. as we understand so far _ need extra catch up work. as we understand so far it _ need extra catch up work. as we understand so far it might - need extra catch up work. as we understand so far it might be . need extra catch up work. as we i understand so far it might be down to schools what provision they put in place over the summer holidays. if they were told to go to school in the summer holidays, how would they react? it the summer holidays, how would they react? , ., ., react? it might be hard to get them motivated. they _ react? it might be hard to get them motivated. they are _ react? it might be hard to get them motivated. they are looking - react? it might be hard to get them| motivated. they are looking forward to the holidays and having a proper break. but with some of the more vulnerable children i can see that would be helpful to them. what vulnerable children i can see that would be helpfulto them. would be helpful to them. what about the idea that — would be helpful to them. what about the idea that they _ would be helpful to them. what about the idea that they might _ would be helpful to them. what about the idea that they might be _ would be helpful to them. what about the idea that they might be able - would be helpful to them. what about the idea that they might be able to i the idea that they might be able to get tuition. would that be helpful? i think so. my son, when have looked at some of his work, because it is not reviewed by teachers the same way it would be in school,

definitely his work has got less, it is not quite as good as it was before when he was in school. he is auoin before when he was in school. he is aoian to before when he was in school. he is going to see — before when he was in school. he is going to see what _ before when he was in school. he is going to see what you _ before when he was in school. he is going to see what you are _ before when he was in school. he is going to see what you are saying so it is a sensitive subject! yes. going to see what you are saying so it is a sensitive subject!— it is a sensitive sub'ect! yes, but with some h it is a sensitive sub'ect! yes, but with some online — it is a sensitive subject! yes, but with some online intuition - it is a sensitive subject! yes, but with some online intuition in - it is a sensitive subject! yes, but with some online intuition in the | with some online intuition in the summer that might be more successful with their children rather than them having to go into school. you with their children rather than them having to go into school.— having to go into school. you spoke about them — having to go into school. you spoke about them being _ having to go into school. you spoke about them being jaded _ having to go into school. you spoke about them being jaded this - having to go into school. you spoke about them being jaded this time i about them being jaded this time around and looking forward to going back to school. is there a sense of nervousness about going back? thea;r nervousness about going back? they are auite nervousness about going back? they are quite keen _ nervousness about going back? they are quite keen to _ nervousness about going back? ire are quite keen to go nervousness about going back? “he: are quite keen to go back. nervousness about going back? 1131 are quite keen to go back. they are looking forward to seeing their friends. they want that normality. i don't think they are nervous, they are more keen to see their friends. i'm sure that many others are as well, emily, thank you. what about the people running schools? the head teachers. let's speak to geoff barton, who's from the association of school and college leaders. such an important issue. march the 8th is the date. and now we have

this extra funding the government has announced, 700 million on top of 300 million announced injanuary. what will schools and colleges do with that money?— what will schools and colleges do with that money? probably a number of thinas, with that money? probably a number of things, charlie. _ with that money? probably a number of things, charlie. what _ with that money? probably a number of things, charlie. what we _ with that money? probably a number of things, charlie. what we would - of things, charlie. what we would welcome is, new money is a good idea. an acknowledgement from the government that this is the first phase of additional funding after we have assessed what young people need. what i welcome is that there is a national smorgasbord of possibilities that you in your context as a leader and teacher can decide how to use it. there are some strings attached. as a principal teacher, i will take what louise said, and have to be careful of catastrophe rising for young people about loss learning, because for many of them getting back into the rhythms and routines from the 8th of march, that will help them recover their sense of getting back into the

rhythms of learning.— rhythms of learning. speaking to gavin williamson _ rhythms of learning. speaking to gavin williamson earlier, - rhythms of learning. speaking to gavin williamson earlier, he - rhythms of learning. speaking to i gavin williamson earlier, he broke down the numbers in terms of how much money each school would get. a secondary school, he has given us the figure that an average secondary school would get around £22,000 extra. there are approximately 1800 is the average number for a state secondary school, so my broad maths, correct me if i am wrong on this is around £200 per pupil, £22,000 in totalfor one large around £200 per pupil, £22,000 in total for one large school. does that sound like an appropriate sum, given the potential scale of the loss of learning we have had? before i attem at loss of learning we have had? before i attempt to — loss of learning we have had? before i attempt to answer _ loss of learning we have had? before i attempt to answer that _ loss of learning we have had? before i attempt to answer that question, i i attempt to answer that question, we don't know from the guidance that has come out whether that money is being spent evenly across all secondary and primary schools, or whether it is being targeted to those with more children from

deprived communities the way the pupil premium money used to go. take two schools in, say, wigan. one school are all of the year 11 pupils lost four weeks of learning because they had to self—isolate and the school explorer that didn't happen. it will be a difficult issue to this bride whether you simply spread their money around or target it, because those pupils who missed four weeks will need something more than those who missed not any time at all. will it be enough? there is more to do, but it is important to say, if you don't mind, looking at the evidence base, the most important thing we need to do, this is government evidence, is early years learning, getting the earliest young people back into the rhythms of language. the disappointment with the talk of big numbers is, small amount of 18 million, is going to the youngest children with the most important foundational stage of what they will need later on. and also

high—quality teacher feedback and her work is important, so it could have been that what we needed was extra tuition after school, the government is talking about extra tuition but you have to go through the national tutoring programme, so it is not exactly straightforward. it all comes back to the money. you come back, you say that that is where it is most needed, but how much would that cost, per school? ht much would that cost, per school? 11 will come back to the money, but also, to the children who need it. for the majority of young people, we should not catastrophe wise and demotivate them, they will benefit hugely from the rhythms and routines of being in lessons and extra curricular activity and to their credit when the government talk about march the 8th, they speak about march the 8th, they speak about notjust about march the 8th, they speak about not just what about march the 8th, they speak about notjust what happens in the classroom but sport and all the other stuff, so as long as we don't

get back into another lockdown that will be great for young people. it is then about the additional stuff that we can do and as a head teacher, i'd be looking to use some of that money for teaching assistants working at lunchtime, after school, assistants working at lunchtime, afterschool, maybe assistants working at lunchtime, after school, maybe weekends, assistants working at lunchtime, afterschool, maybe weekends, up assistants working at lunchtime, after school, maybe weekends, up to people is that the site in their own context, so with a bit more trust in the system, let's take this money, you as leaders and teachers know best what young people need, you spend that as you want to, because much of this money has been earmarked for summer schools, which the evidence suggests are not particularly helpful. there is a little bit of a lack of trust i think behind that.- little bit of a lack of trust i think behind that. picking up on that theme. _ think behind that. picking up on that theme, it _ think behind that. picking up on that theme, it is _ think behind that. picking up on that theme, it is important, - think behind that. picking up on| that theme, it is important, you think behind that. picking up on - that theme, it is important, you can talk too much about the potential damage that has been done. it is a point well made. we will see how that worked out. in terms of the practicalities, the rhythms of school life, getting back to normal. march the 8th is not going to be a normal. there are three tests in the

first two weeks, they will be asked to maybe do one at home, as they come in, teachers and masks. what are your major concerns that that works and you get into that rhythm that you have talked about? 1am that you have talked about? two aoints on that you have talked about? two points on that. _ that you have talked about? “1111.1 points on that. first of all, much of what you said doesn't apply to primary children, they will not be wearing masks or be tested to letts park that for now even though there is a big job of work for teachers to do to stop at secondary level, it will be the case that there must be a phased return. we have to be honest about that. that is because of the government guidance, but the trial should not set foot in the classroom unless they have done a lateral flow test, which classroom unless they have done a lateralflow test, which is not classroom unless they have done a lateral flow test, which is not the same as going to your local test centre or being vaccinated, it requires you to be tested then to sit in splendid isolation for half an hour before going into the classroom, and that has to happen three times before the easter break when the test kits are being sent

home stop there are questions around that the efficacy of these tests, but if that is part of the measure, then that will be fine, but if you're running a school of 1600 as i am it has to be a phased return and using the government to's and calculations it will be difficult for schools of 1600 to manage all of that within five days so you then ask whether you can bring some young people in before march the eight, and thejury is people in before march the eight, and the jury is out on that or must you extend beyond that, or that promised army support we heard of, is that still available? those are legitimate questions to be asking. thank you, jeff barton, leader of the association of school and couege the association of school and college leaders. so many things to still find out what it will emerge, won't it? historic and stately homes in england won't be able to open their doors to the public again until may 17th at the earliest, under the prime minister's new road map. but with so many properties relying on now—banned large—scale events, can country houses

survive the pandemic? let's speak to the owner of highclere castle, better known as downton abbey. lady carnarvon joins us from the castle's iconic library. lovely to see you. thank you for joining us. wonderful to see that library. you have heard this news a couple of days ago. what were your plans, and how has it affected you? like thousands of historic venues and actually millions of hospitality businesses, because that is what we also are. it was fairly devastating, because like venues large and small, outgoings continue and income has gone to zero. in 2020, most hospitality businesses could only operate for three out of the 12 months of the year, and then we have borrowed money, accepted grants, borrowed money, accepted grants, borrowed money, accepted grants,

borrowed money again, and now we are in the latest lockdown which we thought might last 1—2 months, perhaps, but we were hoping to be able to open for april. we are at the same in the sense as the pubs and hospitality businesses, we are all breathing in, and it is pretty tough. it is not good news. hoar all breathing in, and it is pretty tough. it is not good news. how many staff would you _ tough. it is not good news. how many staff would you normally _ tough. it is not good news. how many staff would you normally employ? - tough. it is not good news. how many staff would you normally employ? are people on the furlough scheme? hagar people on the furlough scheme? how does it sit at — people on the furlough scheme? how does it sit at the _ people on the furlough scheme? firm-or does it sit at the moment? some of the staff are on furlough, but that is wrapping up as a country. it is our taxes that are paying for that. some are working. we have sadly had to make some people redundant. when we are open we offer employment part—time and full—time to many local people. we are one of thousands of hospitality businesses that does the same. that employment, trade, there is taxes, that pays for what you have just been talking about, the schools, education and

nhs. if we don't start a trade and get going, where does the money come from which we need? i don't understand why it is more dangerous to walk through this room behind me with social distancing, we all wear masks, and why this is more dangerous than going into a nonessential shop. dangerous than going into a nonessentialshop. it dangerous than going into a nonessential shop. it is the inconsistency, i don't think is acceptable. it is suffocating what will not be able to rise again. if you look at it as a phoenix rising from the ashes at the end of may, june, but it could be a damp squib. all businesses want to work and contribute, but the most extraordinary time in this country, we have all compromised. we have all tried to do our best. what i don't understand is, by the end of march, towards 50% of the country is going towards 50% of the country is going to be vaccinated. what an achievement. with 50% vaccinated, why can't we come out and have a really nice day out and feel better about life? 1 really nice day out and feel better about life? ., �* , .,

they are not believed and asked inappropriate and intrusive questions by officials during interviews. the home office are yet to respond to the allegations. one woman from uganda told us about her experience. initially, when you apply for the asylum, there is a bit of hope. but as you go into immigration limbo, you start to lose hope, what is going to happen? will it be like after a few years and then i'll be told you have to go back home, what is really going to happen to me? and it brings about a lot of depression, anxiety, because there are times i can't even sleep. for the first time home smear tests will be given to women who are overdue a check in parts of london. they will go to women aged between 25 and 64 who live in the barnet, camden, islington, newham and tower hamlets areas where screening is low. it's hoped the extra convenience and privacy will mean greater screening for hpv which can lead to cervical cancer.

rogue landlords in east london have been forced to pay tenants back, £200,000 after being served with repayment orders. the landlords are accussed of threatening tenants with violence, illegally evicting them orfailing to properly license the home. nearly 70 tenants have had their rents back after tower hamlets council brought in the orders more than £200,000 has after tower hamlets council brought in the orders. a serious cyber attack on hackney council last october is likely to cost the borough around £10m, according to its mayor. the attack stopped several council services and resulted in personal data being stolen and published on the dark web. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. on the trains, disruption on thameslink services between st pancras and st albans due to over—running engineering works. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it's an exceptionally mild start this morning and it's going to be

an exceptionally mild day. we do have quite a bit of cloud around, but it is quite high so some bright spells this morning, hazy sunny spells throughout the course of the day. still quite blustery, not quite as blustery as yesterday but still a noticeable breeze. thicker areas of cloud, the odd spot of rain but largely dry and temperatures reaching a maximum of 15, maybe even 16 celsius. overnight tonight we will see some clear spells to start with but the front that has been waiting in the wings in the west for the last couple of days gradually works its way towards us. there is not too much rain on it, can't rule out the odd spot, but the cloud will thicken. temperatures dropping down to between seven and 10 celsius. a largely cloudy day tomorrow, but come friday, you will see that high pressure building in from the south. squeezing everything out of the way. so the windfalls a lot lighter post—thursday and we will see plenty of fine and dry weather. and temperatures staying in double figures. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address.

only goes until the end of april. but we have seen some easing already this week, some school pupils have gone back to the classroom, and the next phase will be in three weeks' time. we will see more pupils going back to the classroom and four people will be able to meet outdoors from two households. and then the next phase will be from the 5th of april. we are likely to see all, or almost all pupils back in the classroom. and up to six people will be able to meet outdoors from two households. and then finally on the 26th of april, we will see the economy opening up so that will be things like restaurants, bars, hairdressers, gyms, they will be able to open up as scotland moves out of lockdown and back into the level system. nicola sturgeon has said that depending on the data, this will be reviewed and she may be

able to move a bit faster.— able to move a bit faster. thank ou. we can speak now to professorjason leitch, the national clinical director for scotland. good morning to you. morning, both. i wonder if you _ good morning to you. morning, both. i wonder if you can _ good morning to you. morning, both. i wonder if you can pick— good morning to you. morning, both. i wonder if you can pick up _ good morning to you. morning, both. i wonder if you can pick up on - good morning to you. morning, both. i wonder if you can pick up on some l i wonder if you can pick up on some of the themes that are being picked up of the themes that are being picked up on here. in principle what you have in scotland is an outline plan that stops on the 26th of april. that is clearly a political decision. you are involved in advising on the science and the medicine behind that, what is the logic in not going beyond that point from a clinical point of view? 11 goes slightly beyond that, but not with such certainty. that is to match the virus, charlie, to be blunt. we can kind of predict what can happen in the next few weeks but predicting beyond the end of april is trickier, the longer you go, the harder it gets. we have got a year

to monitor ourselves behind, because we have done this already. the last time we had the same number of people admitted to hospital in the uk as yesterday is the 1st of may. we know it happens, it comes down, everybody clamours to open, everybody clamours to open, everybody gets a big easing, i can't wait, i am a as desperate as everyone else, but then it goes back up everyone else, but then it goes back up again. so three week chunks, and then we will go to the level system, which might look different, we said we will look at the rules at hospitality and ease some of that, maybe everybody will not move to the same level, we might be able to go quicker if the numbers say we can. but it is driven by the virus, not by my best wishes.— by my best wishes. inevitably, a-eole by my best wishes. inevitably, people from — by my best wishes. inevitably, people from the _ by my best wishes. inevitably, people from the outside - by my best wishes. inevitably, i people from the outside looking by my best wishes. inevitably, - people from the outside looking in will do this whether you like it or not, they will contrast on how you are advising the scottish government as compared your counterpart in england and people will know the

differences immediately. in england, we have a five—week gap between the times they decisions are made. they say there is clear clinical evidence for that, four weeks to assess what is happening, make the decision and people can react. they will also see that the scientist and the medical professionals in england feel confident enough to forecast right ahead tojune. why is it that you presumably, with the same information in front of you, are coming forward with very different plans? coming forward with very different alans? . , �* coming forward with very different lans? ., , �* .,, coming forward with very different lans? ., ,�* ' plans? that isn't as different as it sounds. i understand _ plans? that isn't as different as it sounds. i understand the - plans? that isn't as different as it i sounds. i understand the question. what we are doing in three weeks is opening less each three weeks as england is hoping to open in five. so bigger decisions at the five—week moment rather than smaller decisions at the three—week moment. we were doing weekly reviews in our last version of the levels so we have stretched to an incubation period and a half, roughly, based on the virus not on what we wish is true.

incubation and a half period is three weeks, then you can look at the data and give people as much notice and prediction as you possibly can. the further out dates, may 17, june 21, i don't mind if scottish people want to circlejune 21 more normality on their calendars, that is terrific but i cannot say that is going to be true hand on heart because i don't know about new variants, i don't know about new variants, i don't know about prevalence and i don't know if the vaccine will stop transmission. we are very hopeful and every thing looks good but we cannot be sure yet. as soon as we are more confident, we will of course release and give more details and let people out stop right you talk about the evidence,. you talk about the evidence. evidence,. you talk about the evidence-— evidence,. you talk about the evidence. . ., . ., ., evidence. what evidence do you have so far between _ evidence. what evidence do you have so far between the _ evidence. what evidence do you have so far between the link— evidence. what evidence do you have so far between the link between - evidence. what evidence do you have so far between the link between the i so far between the link between the link between the rolling out of the

programme and hospitalisation and death? can you see a tangible drop in those that you can directly relate to the vaccine programme? yes, but stopped you would expect me to say that. yes, we have done our first trial on the first group to be vaccinated, it was only eight weeks ago so we have not had the vaccine for very wrong. the roll—out has been astonishing, both those who have come forward and those who are doing it. edinburgh university, 85% to 94% reduction in hospitalisation if you have had a vaccine. 100 people unvaccinated, if ten of those and up in hospital, compared to the vaccinated group, only one of them and they usually have a milder disease. that is way beyond what we expected. early data on what you described, the next a bit, mortality

data, it is trickier to be certain that a 62% —— but there is a 60 to percent reduction in the care home mortality. they have the ppe and the stopping of the vic —— visitors, the difference is the vaccine programme. but now we need to get through the millions of people in society being vaccinated, then you will start to see it on the big graphs. 11 is vaccinated, then you will start to see it on the big graphs.- see it on the big graphs. it is all in the detail. _ see it on the big graphs. it is all in the detail. look— see it on the big graphs. it is all in the detail. look at _ see it on the big graphs. it is all in the detail. look at the - see it on the big graphs. it is all in the detail. look at the way i see it on the big graphs. it is all. in the detail. look at the way you frame to those two pictures exactly either side of your head, you know that, you have worked that out, it is perfect. 11 that, you have worked that out, it is aerfect. , ., , :: is perfect. it is only 250 interviews _ is perfect. it is only 250 interviews in _ is perfect. it is only 250 interviews in a - is perfect. it is only 250 interviews in a year - is perfect. it is only 250 interviews in a year to l is perfect. it is only 250 l interviews in a year to get is perfect. it is only 250 - interviews in a year to get me to that point, it has been a long time coming! 1 that point, it has been a long time comina! ., ., ., . , ., coming! i had not even notice before but it is exactly _ coming! i had not even notice before but it is exactly spot _ coming! i had not even notice before but it is exactly spot on. _ coming! i had not even notice before but it is exactly spot on. my - but it is exactly spot on. my secretary — but it is exactly spot on. my secretary gets _ but it is exactly spot on. 111 secretary gets more e—mails about this image here than any other single thing that i ever see on tv. she gets multiple requests for this tanzanian african painting. we were

and are 18 points adrift of old firm rivals rangers in the premiership. lennon says he's worked hard to turn things around at celtic, but ultimately they've not been able to put together the type of run they needed. assistant managerjohn kennedy will now be in temporary charge of the team. there was a brilliant goalfor chelsea in the champions league last night. have a look at this from olivier giroud. an overhead kick for the only goal of the game in their 1—0 win over atletico madrid in the first leg of their last 16 tie. we'll find out today whether scotland's six nations game against france can go ahead this weekend. it's in doubt after ten french players tested positive for coronavirus and therefore won't be able to play in paris on sunday. if the game can't be played it'll be rescheduled for the weekend after. but scotland don't want that, as they'll have to release a number of players as part of an agreement with their domestic clubs. and andy murray lost the first tour level match he's played since last october. he lost in straight sets

to egor gerasimov who from belarus at a tournament in montpellier. murray remember missed out on the australian open after catching coronavirus. he's currently ranked 121 in the world. but still out there and still playing. thank you very much. being able to enjoy a walk in the countryside has provided a vital escape for lots of us during the pandemic but the national trust says it's taking its toll on our beauty spots. john maguire is at leigh woods in bristol this morning. we know visitor numbers has gone up and it has had an impact. good morning. good morning. visitor numbers have doubled and we will hear more about that later. here is a path, it would normally be a metre wide. this is something like four metres wide. and in parts of

the woodland behind us, it is even wider, it gets to about 20 metres where the grass and the natural environment has been worn down by all of the boots. restricted here by all of the boots. restricted here by a fence on that side, if you go too far in that direction you are into the river avon, and trees on this site. one of the great things about the lockdown when we have been able to get out and about, it has been so essential for that green health, that benefit it gives us to our physical and mental health. there are also surprises, a lot of the time pleasant surprises. have a look this incredible view. isambard kingdom brunel�*s iconic suspension bridge opened in 1864 after his death. so lots of surprises when you get in the great outdoors. but sometimes, there is a downside. nestled on the edge of bristol, clinging to the top of the avon gorge, leigh woods is a popular place to escape the city for an hour or two.

before the lockdown, before corona, hadn't come up here in years so it's really been for me, working from home, a really big thing, really breaks up the day, just nice to get out into this wonderful open space. try to get out every day and do something, and actually being able to walk from home is really nice, sort of, locally. it's surprising what's on your doorstep. but with popularity comes problems. it'sjust basically turning into mud. you can't blame people, but, yeah, it's a huge effect. visitor numbers here doubled last year due to lockdowns and after a very wet winter, paths have become mud baths. what should it be normally like, this path? we'd have a sea of colours in a couple of months' time, we would have pinks and yellows and blues, anenomes and celandine and common spotted orchids all along the side. so it would be very, very colourful. and then we've got some nice green pasture and as you can

see at the moment, it looks very different. so the grassland at leigh woods is priority habitat, because it's so special for the different sort of flowers and things that grow in it. the insects that live in it. and then obviously things that feed on the insects, so we've got seven species of bat here that would be feeding on the insects living on the grassland so without the grass here, we are losing habitat and then we're losing species all the way up. and the concern is that if the damage is too severe, the flora and fauna will not recover. in this national trust video from hatfield forest in essex, you can see the pathway of special matting they have laid to protect the ground. and here in the lake district, £500,000 is spent each year on repairs as part of a scheme called fix the fells. we've got a stone path that people ideally would stick to, and beside that you can see where the area has been worn away by people leaving

the path and creating what we call pigeonholes. we are asking people to stick to the path, wear the appropriate footwear, and if you have to step off the path, step off to the side and then step back on and carry on on your way. social distancing doesn't help as people try to stay further apart and as a result, inadvertently wear down the edges of the paths. well, we are seeing unprecedented numbers of visitors to our green spaces, our countryside sites. sometimes double if not triple the numbers, the usual visitors. and of course that is fantastic, we want people to come and visit, get some fresh air, it's fantastic for everyone's health and well—being. but of course that comes with the added impact of erosion to the footpath and the footpath is getting wider and getting muddy and compaction on the footpath. so the advice is to channel your inner child. don your wellies, and stomp in the puddles and the mud. your boots may get dirty but you'll be helping to protect some of our precious natural places.

you can see some you can see some of you can see some of the grass trying to fight back, but when it has been so wet and look at all the boot prints, it really is a losing battle. carol is with us, this has changed over the last couple of years, tell us what has happened here. 111, years, tell us what has happened here. �* , ., years, tell us what has happened here. ~ , ., , ., ., , here. a couple of years ago, this would have _ here. a couple of years ago, this would have been _ here. a couple of years ago, this would have been two _ here. a couple of years ago, this would have been two metres - here. a couple of years ago, this would have been two metres by| here. a couple of years ago, this i would have been two metres by two metres of erosion, people coming to take their snaps but as you can see, the mud is as far as you can see, people have stretched out and the compaction is massive at the moment. why can't you just go to the garden centre, get a lot of grass seed and reseed areas?— reseed areas? this is not your aical reseed areas? this is not your typical garden _ reseed areas? this is not your typical garden lawn, _ reseed areas? this is not your typical garden lawn, we - reseed areas? this is not your| typical garden lawn, we cannot reseed areas? this is not your- typical garden lawn, we cannotjust chuck seed down. it is priority habitat grassland, full of really important special plants and things. it isn't that simple unfortunately. at this time of year, of course, we don't see everything. a lot of stuff

three inches. good morning to you all. today we are looking at a mild day, a mild start and another blustery day in prospect as well and further rain in the forecast. you can see where we have had the rain through the course of the night and the early part of the day, and it is going to continue through the rest of the day across northern england and wales in particular. for scotland and also northern ireland, brighter skies and a few showers. for the rest of england and wales. for the rest of england and wales. for most of us, drivers blustery day —— are dry and blustery day. the wind is not as strong as yesterday, but they will be gusty in places especially with exposure. temperatures nine to 15 or 16. if you are in eastern england where we have long sunshine, we could hit 17,

possibly even 18 degrees. as we head through the evening and overnight we have the weather front producing the rain. as it pushes eastward with the cloud, the rain on it becomes more fragmented and behind it will be some clear skies, showers driven into the west of scotland on a brisk wind but the wind is easing across england and wales. a chilly night in northern ireland, 5 degrees. tomorrow, here is the offending weather front, tomorrow, here is the offending weatherfront, still tomorrow, here is the offending weather front, still producing tomorrow, here is the offending weatherfront, still producing cloud and light rain and drizzle across central and south—eastern areas. this weather front across the north—west of scotland will introduce some showers and they will emerge at times to give longer spells of rain but the wind will be lighter. in between the areas here, there will be dry weather around. having said that, you could catch a shower as far south as north wales but most will not, most will stay dry. with more of a westerly component, we are looking at temperatures lower than today, eight to 12 or 13 degrees. still above

average for this stage in february. on friday, a cold note to start, frost and patchy mist and fog to start, and cloud across scotland, northern england and the rest of northern ireland, that might produce a shower but chances are it will stay dry. temperatures eight to 13 degrees. forthe stay dry. temperatures eight to 13 degrees. for the weekend, stay dry. temperatures eight to 13 degrees. forthe weekend, high pressure takes charge of the weather. we have over toppling over the top of that area of high pressure, so we could see a bit more cloud across northern ireland and ireland and north and west scotland at times which will be thick enough for the odd spot of rain. the weekend generally drier with lighter winds. chilly nights and patchy fog. have a lovely day, carol. you winds. chilly nights and patchy fog. have a lovely day, carol.— have a lovely day, carol. you too, thank you- — back to our top story now. tiger woods has been undergoing surgery after suffering serious multiple injuries in a car crash in los angeles. let's speak now to former european open golf champion andrew murray.

itself meant that it was a bit dodgy, he wasn't quite sure of himself in terms of the strength he would need to play a tournament, let alone a major like the masters. i think it was 50—50 by the sounds of it. it is certainly not going to be this year by the sounds of the leg injuries he has been through. you mention to _ injuries he has been through. you mention to the _ injuries he has been through. you mention to the back surgery he has had recently, he has had other setbacks as well. he had recently, he has had other setbacks as well.— had recently, he has had other setbacks as well. he has had a few setbacks as well. he has had a few setbacks over _ setbacks as well. he has had a few setbacks over the _ setbacks as well. he has had a few setbacks over the last _ setbacks as well. he has had a few setbacks over the last decade, - setbacks as well. he has had a few setbacks over the last decade, or. setbacks over the last decade, or more than a decade now, since he had all his personal life, i suppose, it was washed out in the public domain as well. everybody knew that he was struggling with injuries, he was struggling with injuries, he was struggling with injuries, he was struggling with his personal life, and he seemed to get back on track and he seemed to get back on track and the comeback last year all the year before, 2019, was an amazing comeback. to win the masters was phenomenal, one of the great sporting comebacks and we thought it was great to have tiger back at the fore. but he has waned a little bit
