6:02 pm
good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. in the last hour, it's emerged that the vaccine programme across the uk — so successful up to now — is about to face a challenging few weeks. the nhs has written to local health organisations, telling them to expect a significant reduction in the supply of vaccine doses from the end of the month — and lasting for a month after that. the problem is being blamed on the amount of vaccinations coming into the country. the health secretary says the delay will not affect those who've already been offered a jab. we'll have more on what this means for everyone else, but first, here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. everyjab, every jab, another step towards everyjab, another step towards the way out. every injection, part of what the government has seen as a huge success. not far off half adult population with some protection against covid. i population with some protection against covid.—

and we regular already send out technical letters to the nhs, to explain the ups and downs of the supply over the future weeks and what you are referring to is a standard one of those letters. boris johnson standard one of those letters. boris johnson has — standard one of those letters. boris johnson has been _ standard one of those letters. boris johnson has been a _ standard one of those letters. boris johnson has been a regular public visitor as the jabs have gone in. the vaccine programme a massive success so far. the vaccine programme a massive success so far-— the vaccine programme a massive success so far. nine doses out of an ei . ht success so far. nine doses out of an eight dose — success so far. nine doses out of an eight dose vial. _ success so far. nine doses out of an eight dose vial. i _ success so far. nine doses out of an eight dose vial. i am _ success so far. nine doses out of an eight dose vial. i am told _ success so far. nine doses out of an eight dose vial. i am told this - eight dose vial. i am told this letter does — eight dose vial. i am told this letter does not _ eight dose vial. i am told this letter does not just _ eight dose vial. i am told this letter does notjust represent eight dose vial. i am told this i letter does notjust represent a standard glitch. sources suggest fewer astrazeneca vaccines are available than the nhs expected. ministers were saying things were going very well in terms of supply, only this morning, so something has gone very badly wrong in the last sum —— couple of hour, i don't think manchester united's answers today were sufficiently —— matt hancock's answer were detailed. were sufficiently -- matt hancock's answer were detailed.— were sufficiently -- matt hancock's answer were detailed. no-one with a vaccine booked _ answer were detailed. no-one with a vaccine booked already _ answer were detailed. no-one with a vaccine booked already should - answer were detailed. no-one with a vaccine booked already should lose l vaccine booked already should lose their chance but the rapid progress

ourjourney their chance but the rapid progress our journey to the their chance but the rapid progress ourjourney to the end of restrictions may at least be starting to slow tonight. our health editor hugh pym is here. what happens to all those people, thousands, millions who have been waiting and hoping for theirjab? well, george, hell officials are making clear this evening that the key targets, that is getting the top nine priority groups, with the 50 and over age group at the moment being invited in for their vaccinations and clinically vulnerable still to be got through, that will be achieved by the middle of april. that is still on track, we are told, and the target of all adults being offered a first dose by the end ofjuly is still on track, but the message to the nhs is, that gps and others running vaccination centres have to concentrate on the priority groups and get through the 50 and over age group, and those who are vulnerable, and not start sending letters out to those who are younger than 50, on the assumption
6:06 pm
that supplies will be strong throughout april. so it is get throughout april. so it is get through the key people, and then see where they are, but they still seem to be convinced they can get all adults done events if what they admit is a significant shortfall in the supplies they are expecting from astrazeneca. it is the supplies they are expecting from astrazeneca-— astrazeneca. it is 100 days since that first jab _ astrazeneca. it is 100 days since that first jab was _ astrazeneca. it is 100 days since that first jab was delivered, - astrazeneca. it is 100 days since that first jab was delivered, and | that firstjab was delivered, and new evidence today about what it means in terms of transmission, this vaccination programme. yes. means in terms of transmission, this vaccination programme.— vaccination programme. yes, public health officials _ vaccination programme. yes, public health officials have _ vaccination programme. yes, public health officials have brought - vaccination programme. yes, public health officials have brought out. health officials have brought out new findings, dr mary ramsey was at the downing street briefing saying that there is exciting new evidence that there is exciting new evidence that there is exciting new evidence that the vaccine cuts transmission by 30% and there is a 60% reduction for those over 70 in catching covid, never mind getting seriously ill. there is a bigger chance of not getting seriously ill having had a first dose of the vaccine, so the
6:07 pm
messages are, this is extremely positive in bringing covid down, 25 million people have now had a first dose, that was being hailed at the downing street briefing, but certainly tonight's revelation about supplies will raise a few questions about where things go from here. gill about where things go from here. all right. thank you huw. just hours before the news of the delay in the uk vaccination programme, the president of the european commission said she was ready to use whatever tools are necessary to ensure that the eu gets more doses of the coronovirus vaccine — including limiting exports from factories in europe. ursula von der leyen did not mention the uk by name but made it clear that her target was countries with a better roll out rate than the eu. her comments come against a backdrop of controversy within the eu over the commission's vaccine programme and clear signs that many countries are teetering on the edge of a third wave of infections. here's our brussels correspondent nick beake.
6:08 pm
in prague, in paris, and once again in bergamo, northern italy, covid patients gasp for air. the nightmare prospect of a third wave in europe is now real. the continent is also facing a vaccination crisis. it is not getting the doses it ordered and today, a warning that the eu would do everything needed to get its fair share. all options are on the table. we are in the crisis of the century and i am not ruling out anything for now, because we have to make sure that europeans are vaccinated as soon as possible. the eu says it is exporting millions of vaccines to help other countries, but receiving very few, especially from astrazeneca in the uk. of those doses that have arrived, lots are going to waste. the product has been suspended in most eu countries.
6:09 pm
it is still available here in belgium, but increasing numbers are saying they don't want the astrazeneca shot. i am not sure that it will be ok, the astra, for old people. that is why now i am afraid, everybody is afraid of this vaccine. the eu's medicine regulator is assessing the latest evidence from a very small number of cases to see if there is a link to blood clots. but the organisation stresses the benefits outweigh the risks. a message amplified by the government today. i finally got news that i'm going to have my own jab, mr speaker, very shortly, i'm pleased to discover. i don't know whether the right honourable gentleman has had his. he has! but it will certainly be 0xford astrazeneca that i will be having. that absolute confidence in the astrazeneca vaccine is now very hard to find in many european capital cities, but still, the eu is adamant it should get
6:10 pm
all of the british made doses it has ordered and has now raised the heat in this latest post—brexit row. and this evening, the government condemned the eu's action, saying it was wrong to threaten even tighter controls on vaccine exports. i am surprised we are having this conversation. it is normally what the uk and the eu team up with, to object to other countries with less democratic regimes than our own engaging in that kind of brinkmanship. it is a deepening rift and will do nothing to ease europe's resurgent covid crisis. nick beake, bbc news, brussels. now that we have a road map out of the covid restrictions lots of us are thinking about a bit of sun, sea and sand abroad. the european commission has set out a plan to issue a green digital certificate. it's designed, primarily, to ease travel within the eu and it's not at all clear how it might affect british tourists. but as our transport correspondent caroline davies reports, tour operators and cruise companies are making their own plans.
6:11 pm
sunshine, sea, and spectacularly empty. spain's beaches are near deserted. holidays here from the uk are still illegal but many of us are still dreaming of escaping our grey skies. sophie's travel agency has had a good month. we hit £150,000 in sales which again, pre—covid, i would already be ecstatic about. looking at the booking values, they are spending more money. the average spend per person has definitely increased. international holidays are not allowed from england until the 17th of may at the earliest and there is no set date for wales, scotland and northern ireland. standing outside the spanish embassy is probably the closest i will come to sunny spain at the moment. how and when we might be able to travel internationally is still uncertain and with scotland and wales sowing doubt on england's suggested date of the 17th of may onwards, well, that could create some difficulties.
6:12 pm
if all the nations follow different strategies, operators have pointed out there is a hole in that plan. it is quite possible that if scotland has one rule, customers will come down to newcastle and fly out of newcastle which means we end up changing potentially our holiday programmes because we see different demand from different places. the scottish first minister has said she has been working to try to get a four nations approach. today, the eu set out ideas for a green digital certificate as a way to eventually reintroduce international travel between its members. so what are the uk's plans? i think it is really important that people can travel safely but i think what we also have to do is be driven by the data. we have got to see how the coronavirus develops and once we have reopened the economy, i am sure we will be looking at other measures to make sure that people are safe. but while the uk government is yet to set out exactly how travel might restart, other companies are already making their own decisions. p&0 are the latest
6:13 pm
cruise company to say all of its passengers must have both of their vaccinations. so we talk to our guests regularly and they are telling us overwhelmingly that this is what they want. for us, this is a decision for this summer until september. today, the health secretary has said that finding a way to show who has been vaccinated will be important for international travel but it is still uncertain when uk holiday—makers will next enjoy a spanish sunset. caroline davies, bbc news. the latest coronavirus figures show there were 5,758 new cases recorded in the latest 24—hour period, which means on average the number of new cases reported per day in the last week, is 5,665. the number of patients in hospital with covid continues to fall — now down to 7,218. there were 1m deaths reported, that's of people who died within 28
6:14 pm
days of a positive covid—i9 test, which means on average 121 people died every day in the last week from coronavirus, taking the total to 125,831. over 433,000 people have had their first dose of a covid vaccine in the latest 2a hour period, which takes the total of people who have now had their firstjab past 25 million, meaning 48% of the adult population has now received their first vaccination. and more than 1.7 million people have had both doses of the vaccine. an independent review of historical sexual abuse in football has strongly criticised the sport's governing body, the football association, for failing to protect children after allegations emerged. the report — which covers the period from 1970 to 2005 — says there was no excuse for what it calls the fa's institutional failings. 0ur sports editor dan roan has more.

6:19 pm
a problem in the vaccination programme across the uk — with significantly reduced suppy from the end of the month. and social care leaders warn that without more money to cope with the costs of the pandemic, some providers could close. coming up on sportsday on bbc news, team new zealand to defend the oldest trophy in international sport as they clinch a 7—3 series win over italy's luna rossa in sailing's america's cup. one of the key lessons of this last year since the pandemic took hold is that what started as a health crisis quickly turned into an economic challenge, too. the signs are there, from record government borrowing to family finances stretched to the limit. as our economics editor faisal islam has found on a visit to coventry, some have survived or even prospered, but the economic impact has
6:20 pm
not been felt equally. the big lesson of the past year is that you cannot disentangle the pandemic from economics. there was no simple trade—off between health and wealth. it turned out the countries with the biggest first covid waves had the biggest economic falls too, with the uk hit particularly hard. coventry is a symbol of recovery from generational challenges. the pandemic recession was historic but also unique in shape, a very sharp fall with a rapid rebound. that can be seen at sarginson's, a local metalforger in the car industry. initially, it was absolute bedlam, itjust disappeared and we had to completely close the business down. we just kept a skeleton crew in and we just tried to work out what we could possibly do. there has never been a recession like this but nor has there ever been £300 billion of government support, limiting the rise in unemployment. here, they had to furlough almost all staff in the first wave but used
6:21 pm
the scheme to retrain workers in new cutting—edge techniques to win new business. this is precisely the point of support, to bridge over the steep valley of uncertainty, but it cost historic amounts of public money. it is only really world wars that set any type of precedent for the hit to the economy and the government's finances we have seen over the past year of pandemic and multiple lockdown. the recovery from it should be quicker, but the changes to our economy and institutions could be as profound. given the economic hit, what has perhaps been even more extraordinary is thatjobs and wages have held up. isabel, a mother of four and freelance writer, is spending less on her car but more on a new kitchen. she has gone full—time working from home while home—schooling. that means you work in the evening, which you sometimes do but suddenly, it is every evening and you are working every weekend. when you have got five extra people, particularly four children in your house all the time, suddenly, there is so much more to do.
6:22 pm
there is no precedent for the amount of savings british households have deposited into bank accounts or paid off from their debts, reaching record levels during the first lockdown last year. that saving is far from equally distributed. the richest four fifths of the population was managing to save up to £400 per month more than normal through the pandemic, an average of about £170. in contrast, the poorest fifth of the population had to eat into savings or borrow about the same amount per month. around town, socially distant queues to get into banks, perhaps to put money in rather than take it out as in previous financial crises. elsewhere, things are far from back to normal. most of these shops will reopen. some will not because we have seen a generational shift in how we buy and consume that will change our high streets and city centres forever. the rise in the proportion of online sales has been staggering. it took a decade to grow slowly from 10% to 20% of total sales.
6:23 pm
injust 12 months, that hasjumped to 36%, change that would have taken a decade and a half injust one year. so as the tide goes out on the support, the pandemic aftermath will see enduring changes to the way we work, spend and live. faisal islam, bbc news, coventry. a 50—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of the indecent assault and murder of stuart lubbock at the home of the tv presenter michael barrymore. mr lubbock was found dead in a swimming pool at mr barrymore's home in 2001. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has this report. it was the 31st of march 2001 when stuart lubbock was found dead or dying in a pool at michael barrymore's house. a postmortem examination discovered that he had injuries suggesting he had been raped. suggesting he had been sexually assaulted. he had died at a small impromptu pool party organised after an evening at a local nightclub. today, a 50—year—old man
6:24 pm
was arrested in cheshire on suspicion of murder and indecent assault and the police said they planned to talk again to all of the others who were there that night. nine people were at that party. we know that not everyone was responsible for what happened but someone was. now is the time to come forward. stuart lubbock�*s father, terry, photographed in his care home last week, welcomed the news of the arrest. he now has terminal cancer. it is 20 years since stuart lubbock was found dead in the pool at michael barrymore's house on this private estate in essex. today's arrest is the most significant moment in the police investigation into the death since the last set of arrests in 2007. that was when michael barrymore, his then partnerjonathan kenny and a party guest, justin merritt, were arrested. all were released without being charged. michael barrymore, who is now 68,
6:25 pm
never regained the position he once had as one of britain's best loved light entertainment stars. daniel sandford, bbc news. social care leaders in england, representing councils, service providers and those needing care, have joined together to warn the government that they face a funding cliff—edge at the end of march. emergency funding, which has helped those providing care cope with the extra costs of covid, runs out in a couple of weeks. the group say the failure to mention social care in the budget was a missed chance to tackle the short and long—term financial crisis facing the sector. here's our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. the test before the visit. during the pandemic, this has become a vital part of life at the victory care home in kent. it is a full—time job for somebody like kayleigh to organise visits and tests for relatives, residents and staff, and it is paid for with emergency covid funds. it means that geri can safely see her mum, julia. hello, mum, how are you? but this vital government money, which also helps with infection
6:26 pm
control and extra staffing, is due to run out at the end of march. we have not got out of the pandemic as yet so we still need to keep the precautions going for a bit longer until everyone has had the vaccine that is going to have it. today's statement from what is described as an unprecedented alliance of care leaders said the need for certainty over funding is urgent. certainly, those providing services warn fees from councils and the nhs won't cover the extra costs. we have a sector that will be paying out more than it is getting in and that will lead to people giving up provision. that will lead to care homes closing. it will lead to home care providers leaving the sector. there was real disappointment when there was no mention of social care in the budget, and today's statement from people providing care and those needing it voices their frustration and their desperation
6:27 pm
for a long—term plan. care leaders want the government to publish long promised ideas for reform by the summer. so if we don't lay out the plans for social care, we are going to continue to limp from crisis to crisis, and that means not enough people working in social care, it means people not getting the support or they're being gaps the support or there being gaps in the support that they have. and crucially, it means not being able to be a good partner alongside the nhs and alongside families themselves. christie knows what that feels like. she is her mother's full—time carer. both have significant health needs and use to get free council care. but when they moved, christie no longer qualified for help and her mum had her support cut by a quarter. they were also asked to pay £75 per week towards it. we decided to stop the care. we just couldn't afford it. we really would have struggled. we already needed food banks before, when we were getting free care,
6:28 pm
and that means now that i have to dedicate my entire life to looking after mum. the government has yet to comment on the emergency funding but today, it indicated plans for reform of the system that supports so many older and disabled people would be published by the end of this year. alison holt, bbc news. for anyone hoping to get married over the last year, the twists and turns of the pandemic have created a logistical nightmare. now, thousands of weddings in england that had been booked from april 12 may need to be cancelled or postponed, according to the task force representing the industry. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. a picture post macro postcard wedding venue in the countryside, like the rest of the industry, it has been in hibernation. the owner is playing those nine weddings from next month, which he thought was an
