good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. our headlines today: a shot in the arm for the prime minister as he urges people to take up the vaccine. it was very good, very quick, and you know what i'm going to say — i cannot recommend too highly. but europe braces for a third wave of infections, with fresh lockdowns in parts of france and poland. the six nations grand slam beckons for wales if they can win in france, tonight, roared on by their captain, alun wynjones, who's been dubbed �*superman�* by the french.

reporting for duty. james bond. 007 was back on duty as stars joined forces to raise money for red nose day. and it's the spring equinox today, but while for many of us it has been rather cloudy and cool yet again, it's the turn for north—east england to enjoy a bit of spring warmth. all the details later. it's saturday, 20th march. our top story: the prime minister, borisjohnson, has received his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine as he urged everyone who's eligible to get the jab. the rollout has resumed in parts of europe, where new lockdown measures have been reintroduced in france and poland as many countries battle a sharp rise in infections. this report from simonjones contains flashing images. but at the hospital he credits with saving his life, borisjohnson gets his first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine at saint thomas�*s in london,

a personal backing after days of debate in the eu about its possible side effects, resulting in europe's medical regulator saying it is safe. i literally did not feel a thing, and so it was very good, very quick, and so it was very good, very quick, and you know what i'm going to say — i cannot recommend it too highly. everybody, when you do get your notification to go for a jab, please go and get it. it is the best thing for you, the best thing for your family and for everybody else. around half the uk's adult population has been given a first dose, but the same can't be said for much of the eu, with a faltering vaccine programme due to delayed deliveries and vaccine scepticism leading to fears of a third way. in france new lockdown restrictions came into force in paris at midnight, and in germany coronavirus cases are rising exponentially with the chancellor warning likely the will have to apply an emergency

brake and reimposed lockdown measures. just 8% of germany's population has so far received the first dose of vaccine, and there is a warning to uk can't afford to be complacent. a warning to uk can't afford to be complacent-— a warning to uk can't afford to be comlacent. ~ �* ., ., , ., complacent. we've had our first wave and second wave, _ complacent. we've had our first wave and second wave, and _ complacent. we've had our first wave and second wave, and there - complacent. we've had our first wave and second wave, and there are - complacent. we've had our first wave | and second wave, and there are areas where it is staying at a relatively high level. what will happen is the infections will come back again, and if we haven't protected our vulnerable population at that stage, then we will be back where we were in march and april of last year. we've got a little card for you to take _ we've got a little card for you to take away— we've got a little card for you to take away with you. to complement the programme. — take away with you. to complement the programme, the _ take away with you. to complement the programme, the government i take away with you. to complement the programme, the government is| the programme, the government is funding two new clinical trials to try to develop treatments to stop the spread of covid among the most vulnerable. the message from the most —— prime minister is that the scientists will help us get through this. in poland, shops, hotels, cultural and sporting facilities are closed across the country for three weeks as the country faces its highest new daily rates of covid cases since november. let's speak to our correspondent adam easton, who joins us from warsaw. adam, how serious is

the situation there? that's right. as you were saying, we've seen new daily cases this week not seen since november, when the second wave peaked, and this third wave is yet to peak. the expectation is that cases will continue to rise next week, and that's why we've had this new partial national lockdown introduced from today. as you say, shopping centres, hotels, sporting and cultural facilities such as cinemas, theatres and swimming pools are now closed for three weeks, and the health minister here has said that if the infection rate continues to accelerate then he will not hesitate to introduce a full lockdown. that's because the

capabilities, the capacity of the health system here is already being tested to its limits. almost three quarters of available beds are occupied, and more patients are on ventilators now than at any time since the start of the pandemic. an extra 8000 hospital beds are being readied in temporary and regular hospitals to deal with what could be an even worse situation.

a police officer who drunkenly assaulted a woman in warwickshire has avoided prison. pc 0liver banfield was given a fourteen—week curfew after he grabbed and manhandled emma homer lastjuly. he has been suspended and faces disciplinary action. the investigating force has apologised for delays in the prosecution. there's still no news about the whereabouts of bbc who was abducted in myanmar on friday. the bbc has asked the military authorities in the country to locate him and confirm that he is safe. he was taken from another authority at another time, and we are appealing to the authorities to help confirm that he is safe and well. a volcano has erupted in the south—west of iceland after the region experienced thousands of small earthquakes in recent weeks. the eruption, which is around 18 miles from the capital, reykjavik, caused the night sky to glow bright red and led to a temporary suspension of flights at the country's international airport. what incredible pictures those are. good grief. scottish postman—turned—singer nathan evans has reached number one in the uk charts with his version of a 19th century sea shanty.

# when the weather man comes, he brings sugar, tea and rum. 0ne # when the weather man comes, he brings sugar, tea and rum. one day we'll take our leave and go. he first found fame on tiktok by singing traditional seafaring songs, before being offered a record deal and giving up his dayjob. we spoke to him on this show a few weeks back, didn't we? a pop remix of wellerman, has reached the top spot. it was thought to have originally been written by new zealand whalers in the 1830s. my my toes are already tapping. they will be going for the next four hours. i do think there's something about the harmonising that is deeply comforting. it's true. it is inside us. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. �*alarm over new wave' is the headline in the times, which says government sources are worried that the spike in coronavirus cases across europe could spark a new covid wave in the uk, making holidays

abroad increasingly unlikely. several papers, including the telegraph, carry this picture of prime minister borisjohnson with his sleeve rolled up as he receives his first dose of the jab. the paper also covers accusations by a former uk vaccine tsar that european leaders were completely irresponsible in undermining the oxford—astrazeneca covid vaccine. the guardian leads with revelations that saudi royals, gulf states and billionaires are among those who have claimed millions of pounds in taxpayer—funded furlough money. a socially aware makeover for the board game monopoly is one of the stories picked up online. toy company hasboro announced it is updating all 16 community chest cards, which currently feature rewards for winning a beauty contest or a tax refund. in their place will be more

contemporary cards that give rewards for community service and social awareness, which the game—maker thinks better reflects a post—pandemic world. but i would argue people particularly when they play monopoly feel fairly wedded to the old traditions. there is something quite reassuring. there's always the familyjoke about whoever wins a beauty contest and how unlikely it is. i will be sorry to see that go. i thought you would be saying that they would be seeing furlough payments or something like that. monopoly escapism. did you know the queen had a puppy? i think we mentioned that last week. she's got one. this passed me by, but she hasjoined she's got one. this passed me by, but she has joined the hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of people who got puppies over the last 12 months. do you remember when her last pet stated that she wasn't going to replace them because she was too heartbroken? she got them from one of the standard websites —

it's the place a lot of people go to. you might have thought she would have especially sourced breeder, but apparently not. they just looked online. apparently not. theyjust looked online. the nearest retail outside windsor? a little bit like that. inevitably it's a cross, so it's not a pure corgi, it's a cross with a dachshund, and one is called fergus in honour of her war hero husband, and another is named after one of the moniker�*s favourite beauty spots. i wonder if she is having the same madness i am at the moment with dogs chewing everything? i'd suggest my furniture is slightly less precious than hers. she probably got more drugs than you have. this story this morning — lots of companies at the moment reinventing flavours —— probably got

more rugs than you have. apparently kitkat �*s injapan, there is no whiskey flavour. they always have had crazy flavours. how do you know this stuff? people just know that. that's a blanket in your knowledge. they have wasabi ones injapan as well. apparently they are really popular. you can't buy them for love or yen at the moment — they are selling out. much to discuss this morning, and particularly the six nations, which we are going to look at later with guests representing scotland, england and wales, a chance for wales to win a grand slam today, although depending on where the points are — and it's so complicated — we may have to wait till next weekend to see if they win the tournament. if wales win, that's what you need. but it's more complicated than that. if you are heading outside this weekend, spring weather — does it back for us this weekend? matt has

the details. it will be dry for most of you this weekend. good news if you have to get out for your daily exercise or walk your lockdown puppy. fairly cool walk your lockdown puppy. fairly cool, but for others, things will warm up nicely. let me take you back to tomorrow afternoon. towards the north—east of england, the wind was pretty chilly, six degrees in the sea at the moment. don't fancy a dip in there. six to eight celsius, the feel of winter in the air. but today the same areas will be amongst the warmest. the wind direction changes to a westerly, and with a bit of sunshine overhead we could get to around 17 celsius, 63 fahrenheit, the temperature we saw yesterday in western scotland. there it will be cooler because with that shift in wind direction bringing the area of the sea, but high pressure for many, keeping things dry. this weather front will thicken up the cloud

during the second half of the morning into the afternoon across parts of northern scotland to bring outbreaks of rain. but for most, as you see, plenty of cloud on the chart. some sunshine first thing across sussex and surrey. sunshine throughout in the channel islands. but parts of eastern scotland and north—east england will see the best of the afternoon sunshine, and as i said, it is here we will see the highest temperatures, 14 to 17. most other areas around ten or ii this afternoon. we will finish with sunshine in northern scotland. the thicker cloud with patchy rain working southward through the night. a little murky over the hills, but most will stay predominantly dry. some clear skies in its weight through southern scotland and northern ireland in particular, and here may a touch of frost into tomorrow morning, so a chilly start for the northern half of the country, but further self stay milder. damp and drizzly first thing across southern counties of england and wales. for most, another dry day

tomorrow. 0ptimistic there will be a few more breaks in the cloud, so if you've been under grey skies for the past few days, a better chance of a bit of sunshine, but a cooler day for most. with those clear skies in place, slightly chilly air to take us through the night and into monday morning. a greater chance of some frost. if you are spending your weekend planting out some new shoots, just be wary — we are not done with frost, or anywhere near that, yet. there could be a bit on the ground on monday morning. into next week, we start with high pressure, we start dry. that pushes away through the week, allowing atlanticare weather fronts to gradually tumble their way and, particularly to the north and west of the uk. many southern areas will stay dry through next week, even turning a little milderfor a time. but as you can see, in edinburgh and belfast, the cloud increases, the wind will pick up and we could see some rain at times from mid week

onwards. that's pretty good, isn't it? nice and bright. not too bad at all. just keeping an eye on the weather into easter as more outdoor gatherings are allowed across the uk in different forms, but fingers crossed it brightens up for that. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode. rounding up the best new movies available for viewing in the home while we look forward to cinemas reopening in may. if you've watched my bbc four

series secrets of cinema, which is now on iplayer, you'll know that i'm a great fan of pop biopics. from the buddy holly story, to good vibrations, the latter of which told the story of legendary belfast record label boss terri hooley. there's more than a touch of hooley�*s maverick genius in creation stories. a new film about alan mcgee who helped launch the careers of bands like primal scream and 0asis. anything you can find in this box. tvps? later! co—written by irving welch, produced by danny boyle and starring ewan bremner, you could be forgiven for thinking that this has something of a trainspotting feel. i have a dream! indeed, mcgee comes across as basically a more successful version of spud, someone who is, style ——someone whose kamikaze style enthusiasm for class

a narcotics leads him not into a gutter in edinburgh, but to a swanky poolside terrace in la. now you have one of the biggest bands in the world, where does it go from here? played in his younger years by leo flanagan, and by bremner as an oddly childlike adult, mcgee's biggest breaks seem to be down to chaotic fate. with his unswerving belief that each new signing will be bigger than u2, he somehow stumbles into a position of immense cultural importance. helping to define the era of britpop and gaining access to the corridors of power under tony blair's new labour where everything starts to unravel. directed by nick moran who previously did a brilliant job with thejoe meek story telstar, this is entertaining if inevitably self mythologizing fair. bremner is clearly having a ball in the lead role but it's the supporting characters who often steal the show. from a former skids frontman richard jobson as alan's overbearing dad, to jason isaacs in a rip—roaring cameo as a coke addled producer. it's a biopic, forrest gump meets boyz n the hood. personally, i could have lived without the somewhat hackneyed staged interviews, and for all its excesses, there's little sense that this gets under the skin of its la rger—than—life subject. but like many of the bands

that mcgee champions, this is entertainingly bolshie fare. loud, brash and absolutely full of itself. creation stories is on sky cinema from saturday. it's a book. it's a little more than that. open it. you bought drugs from yourself? i had to beta test it. sticking with substance fuelled lifestyles, silk road retells the story of self—proclaimed dark web pirate ross ulbricht who made a fortune setting up what was effectively amazon for drugs. a site where narcotics could be bought, sold and even customer rated under the anonymity of bitcoin currency. that's 1.2 million a day. likeable love simon star nick robinson plays the real—life entrepreneur whose libertarian dreams of changing the world lead him

into increasingly paranoid isolation, obsessed with money, riven with deadly suspicion. by contrast, jason clarke is the fictional ravaged narc who worms his way into ulbricht�*s confidence albeit from a distance, determined to bring him down. we get him on conspiracy to commit murder. checkmate. there may be a brilliantly incisive movie to be made about this story, told in a rolling stone article by david kushner, but this is not it. instead it's stylishly empty fare, fitting perhaps considering the subject matter. robinson who was terrific in the underrated coming—of—age pic the kings of summer makes a sympathetic lead, although it's worth remembering for all of his talk about giving people the freedom to make their own choices, ulbricht was essentially a dealer grifting in an industry built not upon freedom but on extortion, greed and murder. the result is a passable if lightweight cyber crime thriller that you can find online, appropriately enough, from monday.

at the other end of the dramatic spectrum we have 0leg which opened to very positive reviews at the director's fortnight at cannes in 2019 and now arrives on mubi, offering a vivid and occasionally horrifying portrait of economic migration. valentin novopolskij is the latvian butcher that travels to belgium in search of work but finds himself effectively enslaved by smilingly psychotic polish criminal andrzej.

seeming initially to befriend and support 0leg, andrzej is soon exploiting and abusing him, refusing to pay him for his work and threatening to kill him or his family if he leaves. inspired by real—life tales of modern slavery that add a gritty veracity to the kafkaesque proceedings, the director's film has an urgent documentary—like quality interspersed with quasi—religious dreams of drowning that somehow universalize the story. dawid 0grodnik is particularly good as 0leg's nemesis. a ball of nervy energy who oozes danger, switching in an instant from goofiness to gangster. as for the main, he plays the sacrificial lamb to a tee, his strangely innocent face fits perfectly for the role of someone trapped in hellish surroundings, stripped

of their voice and their identity. 0leg is available on mubi from tuesday. to hungry now, where this year's entry from the best foreign film 0scar was the lengthily entitled preparations to be together for an unknown period of time. it may not have made the academy's shortlist but that's no reason to miss out on this twisty treat from this writer director. natasha storck is martha, a hungry neurosurgeon living in the us who returns to her homeland after a fleeting encounter with janosh at a conference in newjersey. realising that he's �*what she's what she's been looking for�*, she goes to a rendezvous in budapest, but when she gets there he insists he has no memory of meeting her.

has martha encountered a doppelganger? is he just pretending not to know her? or has she simply imagined their relationship, carefully conjuring every detail so even i believe it happened? she's sighted many people, like hitchcock, alongside influences all the strings of the emotional tension of the superb french film tell no—one. impressively, he managed to keep the narrative options open forfar longer than should be credible. with martha and janos playing an unspoken game of cat and mouse following each other through a city whose distinct districts seem to mirror and map internal conflicts.

part ghost story, part love story, this playfully deep into the kaleidoscopic world. while he toys expertly with the tricks of memory and the mind. you can find it on curzon home cinema. this sunday the 21st is world down syndrome day. on thursday, the brilliant british movie my feral heart starring stephen brandon had its terrestrial and network premiere on bbc four, and now is available on iplayer. it's a real indie gem, which writer producer duncan said that inspiration came from the similarities and experiences that we all share regardless of needs, adding that this story is about ability not disability. that's a sentiment that also rings true with amber and me, a beautiful and uplifting

documentary about childhood, friendship and education that's available from home viewing from sunday. amber, do you want to taste a bit of the cake now? time for the taste test. focusing on twin sisters amber and olivia and directed by their dad, ian davies, the film follows the girls as they start school together, embarking on different journeys that will see each challenged in different ways. she just finds it a bit trickier. now she doesn't want to go to school as much. it's impossible not to feel deeply involved in the world of these sisters who share a palpable bond that is tested by the classroom environment, but that also proves unbreakable. i don't want to. how are you feeling? sad. the honesty which with the camera catches both of them

at work and play is terrific, it's like being in a room with friends and family watching these two young people grow, wishing only the best for their future. it really is a lovely film, for details of how to see it go to amberandmefilm.com. i'll leave you with news that following a lengthy fan fuelled campaign, zach snyder's directors cut of the 2017 flop justice league has been completed and is now available for home viewing. the original theatrical release was finished byjoss whedon after snyder left due to a family tragedy and was universally panned by critics, myself included. this new cut which clocks in at a heaven's gate style four hours restores the film to snyder's original vision producing a substantially different experience that's been enthusiastically embraced by ha rd—core devotees.

life is either one or zero, it's to be or not to be. not both. for me, justice league has problems that cannot be solved. and no re—cutting could solve, and the endless video game cg effects, some of which is still look bad and the wooden dialogue, flatpack characters is an abundance of character building, and visibly overburdened plot. i mean, we have to try, don't we? we have to try. i do understand the desire to see the movie as it was intended, and having spent four hours doing just that i could tell you that this is an improvement on the disastrously disjointed 2017 cut. it may be bloated and turgid, but at least it's coherently bloated and uniformly turgid. you can judge zach snyder's justice league for yourself on sky cinema. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review, stay safe and i'll see you next week. alan mcgee?

as i live and breathe!

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. we'll have all the latest headlines throughout the morning. now, it's time to get the sport. 0ne one of the key things is the rugby. what a day for wales, potentially, this evening. we are trying to do the maths. there's a lot of variables. if they win in france, they will be grand slam champions. what a win for this man. if alun wynjones wins tonight, that will be his fourth grand slam, as many as england and ireland have won in the modern area.

i don't expect you to know this, but they ask this on the podcast. which other players have won four grand slams. was it the french player, magnier? maybe a wonderful viewers can help. have a think about that. it's an amazing story, this. what a day of rugby we have in store in the six nations, with all the teams in action. we start at murrayfield with scotland against italy. then england are in dublin to face ireland. but all eyes will be on paris this evening as wales take on france, looking for another grand slam title. austin halewood reports. ireland, scotland, england, italy — a perfect six nations for wales so far. the team only won two matches in all of 2020. now they are the team to beat, and they are just one win away from the fifth six nations grand slam. the win away from the fifth six nations grand slam-— grand slam. the sense of pride we have in representing _

will be desperate not to let their fans down again. you've been there and won a grand slam before. how difficult is it to get that last one over the line? the rand get that last one over the line? the grand slams — get that last one over the line? tue: grand slams i've get that last one over the line? tta: grand slams i've won get that last one over the line? t"ta: grand slams i've won in get that last one over the line? t'ta: grand slams i've won in cardiff get that last one over the line? t“ta: grand slams i've won in cardiff — this is tougher wales, because they are going to a french team that's firing, playing good rugby. ithink they've got the experience to win they've got the experience to win the game. there are a lot of players that have won big games, but it's going to be the toughest test so far without the shadow of a doubt. shifter without the shadow of a doubt. after a shaky start. _ without the shadow of a doubt. after a shaky start, wales _ without the shadow of a doubt. after a shaky start, wales have begun to thrive. sealing a grand slam on foreign soil isn't far from the ultimate test, but if there's one thing this welsh team have done all year, it's upset the odds. plenty to talk about in football this morning. rangers midfielder glen kamara has accused slavia prague defender 0ndrej kudela of "vile racist abuse" as the fall—out from their europa league clash continued to escalate. kamara issued a statement through his lawyer in which he gave a detailed account of the alleged incident, which kudela denies,

and demanded action from uefa. kamara also described as a "complete and utter lie", slavia prague's claim that kamara had assaulted kulela in the tunnel after the game at ibrox. the scottish government has confirmed that the old firm match at celtic park will go ahead tomorrow, despite concerns over crowds gathering in defiance of covid safety rules. rangers and celtic have since repeatedly urged their supporters to stay away from tomorrow's game at park head. police scotland has warned officers will make arrests if there are any mass gatherings after the match. he may have missed out on an england call up this time, but leeds united's patrick bamford channelled any frustration to deepen fulham's relegation worries. bamford scored his 14th of the season after being made to wait for a first england call up. and was named man of the match after setting up his brazilian teamate raphinha, as leeds won in london for the first time since 2017. they're now all but safe, whereas the 2—1 defeat leaves fulham two points from safety, still third from bottom.

it's also fa cup quarter—final weekend, starting with premier league southampton facing a tricky looking trip across the new forest to face bournemouth of the championship. that's at lunchtime, and then later, it's manchester city at everton. city manager pep guardiola is hoping his players will head off on a high into the international week that follows. it's another incredible opportunity for another competition to go through and go into the international break with a good job done and come back and hopefully the players and staff can come back well, safe, for the corona, and, yeah, play the last two months the best as possible to try and arrive in may with a chance to win titles. manchester united boss casey stoney described the refereeing as atrocious after her side lost 2—0 at arsenal in the women's super league. arsenal went ahead early on, and by half—time, stoney was fuming about what she saw

as overly—aggressive tackles on laurenjames. it didn't get any better for united after the break, lotte wubben—moy scoring arsenal's second. defeat all but ends united's chances of challenging top two chelsea and manchester city for the wsl. it looks to be a battle between united and arsenal for third and a place in europe next season. history was made on the final day of cheltenham festival yesterday as trainer henry de bromhead had a day to remember. his horse, minella indo, ridden byjack kennedy, won the prestigious gold cup, while a plus tard, ridden by rachael blackmore, came second. the victory secured an historic hat—trick for de bromhead as he became the first trainer to win the gold cup, the champion hurdle and the champion chase at the same festival. so disappointment for blackmore in the gold cup, but she did have success earlier in the day, riding quilixios to victory. that was her sixth win of the festival — meaning she finished the event

as the leading jockey, the first time a female jockey has won the award. she is doing incredible things, along with briony frost, so hopefully soon we'll stop talking about the fact that a female jockey has done this and that, and they are alljustjockeys competing on an equal footing. 0n the rugby, we have andy nichol at 7.30, and jonathan davis, the welsh legend, and matt dawson to get an english perspective. i think jonathan english perspective. i thinkjonathan davies is quite pessimistic from what i've heard about wales's chances of winning outright. like a lot of fans, you get pessimistic about your own team because you don't want to tempt fate. france, probably the way they've been playing, could be slight favourites, but i think brought on by that welsh leader, the superman, as they call him in france, alun wyn jones. .. france, alun wynjones... have you been through the permutations if they don't win? if wales don't win, they can still win the title, but we have to wait

name is sonny mason, and let's find if there is some sun with matt in a minute, but he's going to bring some sunshine later, because he's going to rattle through some jokes and stopped rachel doing hers, which are awful! here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. let's start with a bit of sunshine to lift as this saturday morning. a beautiful start in eastern scotland. not a bad start for the south coast of england either. this was eastbourne. the cloud above me is starting to work its way in, so the sunshine becoming a little more limited here. really for many, getting used to the story after yesterday — plenty of cloud around, but if you do have any plans to get your exercise outside today, it should be dry for the vast majority. high pressure in charge, generally meaning dry weather, but it's shifted in position to yesterday. the wind is starting to come in from a clockwise direction,

now from a more north—westerly direction. that's crucial to where you are, because at the moment sea temperatures are at therejulius, just six degrees in the north sea. yesterday with the wind off the sea, eastern parts were the chilis, only six or seven during the afternoon —— their most chilly. it will have a bit of an impact. it also impacts on where the sunshine will be today. the shelter to the eastern areas of scotland, and some sunshine particulars of the channel islands in the afternoon. later after a speu in the afternoon. later after a spell of rain across the shetlands and the western isles, sunshine will return here. temperatures here generally around nine to 12 degrees, but as i said, this shift in the wind direction means for the shelter, south—east scotland into northeast parts of england, a big turnaround with some sunshine overhead. it feel that bit warmer, temperatures up to 17 for one or two. into this evening and overnight, the thicker cloud and

patchy rain and drizzle works southwards across scotland and northern ireland and into central england and wales overnight. that allows skies to clear for some of you during the night, and if it does, temperatures will drop low enough for a touch of frost. most will be frost free into tomorrow morning. it will be a cloudy, grey, damp and drizzly start for quite a few of you across south england and south wales. slowly brightening up, holding onto cloud across west wales and cornwall the longest. while we will see a spot of rain, mostly dry, and grey skies with sunshine poking through known again. temperatures on cooler side. the winds coming from a northerly direction, and cooler on sunday, sunday night will be that bit clearer. some chilis goes around, and into monday morning, the chance of a little bit of frost around, as there could be into tuesday morning. into next week, the weather fronts will start to push their way into the north and west,

so for scotland and northern ireland, turning wet and windy, and dry further learning a new language might have been an aspiration for many of us in lockdown, but figures show there's been a boom in people learning one in particular — welsh. 0ne popular app suggests it's now the fastest—growing language being learned in the uk — but people have been learning it all over the world too. tomos morgan has been speaking to some of them. to learn welsh now, the classroom has gone online. just like everything else over the last year. since i was a baby. but these classes aren't just for those since i was a baby. but these classes aren'tjust for those living here in wales that can't speak the language. they are full of learners

with spencer kelly and lara lewington. welcome to click. i would like to share with you some personaljoy, if i may. i was getting ready to film the programme this morning when i got the best text message that i think i've received in years, inviting me to get my first dose of the vaccine. congratulations. i presume you acted on it. yeah, sure did. took about three or four clicks, ithink, and i'm booked in for later this afternoon so it was easy. i did that and then i had a big cry. well, i was so worried when i spoke to you first thing this morning —

you were so upset — but now i know they were tears of joy. yeah, i mean, i might go again — just to warn you — but this, this feeling of relief and possibly a release of pent—up emotions from the last year, i don't know what it was, but it happened, let's just say that. but here's the thing, right? before i confirmed, ifound myself looking at this text and thinking "is this genuine?" now, i checked the website that it sent me to and it did and in .nhs.uk, so it was all fine, but these are the times we're living in, where scammers target world events and take advantage of people's fears. and by genuine coincidence, this is what we're talking the royal united services institute says that cyber scams reached epidemic levels during the pandemic. dan simmons has been finding out more. preparing for a dawn raid. as soon as the door�*s breached, they will go in and then there will be a slight pause. officers are on their way to a terraced house in north london. this is the city of london police force's 10th raid

against covid scammers this year alone. 0peration parasite is aiming to seize evidence before devices can be locked or destroyed. police! police with a warrant! a red box is flung out of a bedroom window — it seems the suspect has something to hide. but it's what the cops will find inside the house that makes them certain they have their man. that's a sim file, so it's essentially one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight mobile phones and it is used by the fraudsters to send messages. specialist equipment housing multiple sim cards is designed to fire out thousands of texts at a time, in a type of fraud known as sms phishing, or �*smishing'. officers are now bagging up anything they believe could be evidence — phones,

computers and the like. they've also have access to a digital dog that can sniff out this sort of equipment. just like a drug dog, fred has been trained to recognise the smell of materials used to make digital equipment. the search will continue for several hours. whether it's raiding a house or simply taking a website offline, police are now closing down 2,500 covid scams like this every single month in the uk. 30,000 campaigns have been stopped in the last year. but that doesn't mean that these often sophisticated cons aren't working, partly because of the way our lives have changed. one line of attack has been to focus on the massive increase in home shopping. all those parcels have to be delivered, right? it was last autumn and i'd been doing quite a bit of online shopping. anyway, i got this text message through from courierfirm dpd,

asking me to rearrange a parcel delivery. like thousands of other people, i would have gone online and left some details but i did not because it was not dpd, it was fraudsters. and the only reason i knew — because it was pretty convincing — was i had been in all day. the black friday sales started and i decided to purchase a lovely coat that i really wanted to buy for a very, very long time. anna was not so lucky and is so worried about being targeted again, we've agreed not to use her real name. when she received an email saying her coat needed to be redelivered, she handed over financial details before realising it was a fake website. she immediately told her bank about the fraud

and cancelled her card. i actually thought "now i have nothing to worry about. everything is fine and, you know, case closed." a few days later, she received a call from the phone number on the back of her bank card. man: we have detected fraud on your account. l we'lljust need to take a few pieces of security information to get this sorted out. ok, thanks for that. i can see that while we have been talking, your account has taken out a £9,000 loan. in that case, we'll need you to transfer that money back into our account. we'll give you the account number and sort code now. with the information she'd given them, the crooks had taken out a £9,000 loan into anna's account and were now trying to finish thejob by talking her into sending the money onto them. then i thought "0k, just give me the account number and sort code". so i still felt quite suspicious and i decided to google the sort code that they gave me and to see what that might come up with. then it came up with a completely different account, different bank. i said "you know what? i'm going to hang up right now and i'm just gonna call you back." and this is when theyjust started panicking a lot and they were like "no, no, no!" like, "don't hang up! don't hang up!

the longer the money are out somewhere, the more likely that they are just gonna be used by fraudsters." anna then called her bank and realised the scammers had come back to hit her again. she closed that account, changed her email address and mobile number in a bid to escape the crooks. she still doesn't feel safe. i know i did not lose any money but it did feel like a real burglary, to be honest. i didn't feel like that was — that was the end, because there was still a lot of my information out there that fraudsters can potentially try and use, and i don't know if they're gonna to use it now or in two months' time or in two years' time. that particular fraud netted nearly £250,000 last year. in fact, during the pandemic, the uk service, the cyber helpline, saw an increase of 366% in the number of people seeking support after being a victim of cyber crime. only a quarter of those had already reported the crime to the police.

detective chief inspector martina elliott helps lead the fight against fraud on a national level. the different types of fraud that we have seen have dramatically shifted. for example, online shopping fraud has gone up by 43%, which is a huge leap. we saw a definite increase in smishing after the december rollout for the covid vaccine, where we received over 1000 reports in one week. they are taking advantage at the most horrendous time. people at the moment have — are short of money, people have lost employment, they've lost jobs, they're vulnerable, and these despicable people are taking advantage

of all of those things. it's reprehensible. back at the morning raid, and 21—year—old ty gallagher has been arrested. 0fficers find scripts on a smartphone, designed to trick victims into revealing personal information, messages with associates about the most effective ploys... they're saying they use this to make more money. ..and lists of numbers which can all be targeted at the press of a button. so that that will just send — bombard these with fake messages. i mean, can you see how many that is. and all this can be done from just sitting in your bedroom with your laptop and a mobile phone. two days after his arrest, ty gallagher pleads guilty to two charges relating to fraud. he's awaiting sentencing. but perhaps the most worrying attacks over the past year have been the ones targeting the uk's ability to manage and counter the spread of the pandemic itself. four years ago, the wannacry ransomware attack brought the nhs to a standstill for several days, with attackers seizing control of hospital systems and demanding payments.

the man in charge of protecting the uk's hospitals, vaccine research and rollout, and other key infrastructure, has been desperate to avoid a repeat. one of the things that we learned very early on was that the organisations, the businesses that supplied one of the things that we learned very early on was that the organisations, the businesses that supplied our hospitals, supplied the work behind the vaccine, all of those became critical, and so they're still potentially a target for states and criminals. the ncsc has told click that the number of high—level incidents against key coronavirus—related targets like the nhs and vaccine development is happening around the clock, at around 30 every month. but none of them are believed to have affected

the nhs' response. there's certainly been no service disruption or impact or theft that we're aware of. i mean, obviously, you know, it's hard to be — always be confident of everything, because you don't see everything. but have any been successful against any other critical systems ? well, there unfortunately have been a number of successful ransomware attacks against businesses. i can think of roughly about ten that we've — that would be again, we deal with a number of ransomware cases — unfortunately, far too many — but about ten that have been — could have been considered part of the supply chain. meanwhile, the problem of fraud, particularly during the pandemic, continues relentlessly. we are never going to be able to arrest our way out of fraud because the levels are rising. technology enables fraudsters, so it is on the increase and it is likely to continue to increase. hopefully, we are keeping pace and we are dealing with it and we will continue to keep pace with it. the level of fraud has jumped over the past five years and now, the pandemic has allowed scammers to prey on fears and uncertainty. 0fficers admit that perhaps the most effective weapon

against all of this is for us to adopt a sort of new normal and double check any message that asks us for our details. that is it for the shortcut of click for this week, the full length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media — find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching, and, i can't believe i'm gonna say this... i'm off for my vaccination. we'll see you soon. yay! bye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. a shot in the arm for the prime minister as he urges other people to take up the vaccine. it was very good, very quick, and you know what i'm going to say — i cannot recommend it too highly. but europe braces for a third wave of infections, with fresh lockdowns in parts of france and poland. wales go for grand slam glory in paris. if they can win in france tonight, they'll be champions again — and their captain, alun wynjones, will make history as the first welshman to win four grand slams. what do you get if you cross a seagull with a parrot? we'll find out in a few minutes' time as we're joined by the eight—year old budding comedian who's inspired sir lenny henry.

and it's the spring equinox today, but while it's been rather cloudy and cool yet again for many of us, it's the turn of north—east england to enjoy a bit of spring warmth. all the details later. it's saturday, 20th march. our top story: the prime minister borisjohnson has received his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine as he urged everyone who's eligible to get the jab. the rollout has resumed in parts of europe, where new lockdown measures have been reintroduced in france and poland as many countries battle a sharp rise in infections. this report from simonjones contains flashing images. back at the hospital he credits with saving his life, borisjohnson gets his first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine at st thomas's in london, a personal backing after days of debate in the eu about its possible side effects, resulting in europe's medical regulator saying it is safe. i literally did not feel a thing, and so it was very good,

very quick, and you know what i'm going to say — i cannot recommend it too highly. everybody, when you do get your notification go for a jab, please go and get it. it is the best thing for you, the best thing for your family and for everybody else. around half the uk's adult population has been given a first dose, but the same can't be said for much of the eu, with a faltering vaccine programme due to delayed deliveries and vaccine scepticism leading to fears of a third way. and vaccine scepticism leading to fears of a third wave. in france new lockdown restrictions came into force in paris at midnight, and in germany coronavirus cases are rising will have to apply an emergency brake and reimpose lockdown measures. just 8% of germany's population has so far received the first dose of vaccine, and there is a warning

to uk can't afford to be complacent. we've had our first wave and second wave, and there are areas of the country where it is staying at a relatively high level. what will happen is the infections will come back again, and if we haven't protected our vulnerable population at that stage, then we will be back where we were in march and april of last year. we've got a little card for you to take away with you. to complement the programme, the government is funding two new clinical trials to try to develop treatments to stop the spread of covid among the most vulnerable. the message from the prime minister is that the scientists will help us get through this. we're joined now by our political correspondent, jonathan blake. jonathan, it's been a tricky week with the vaccine rollout across europe. i guess symbolically it's really significant to see the prime minister receiving a dad, and this one in particular. yes, the message was clear — quick and painless, urging people to get the jab when they are called forward, emphasising the benefits of it, and yes, it may well have an

impact to see the prime minister there, very enthusiastically getting vaccinated against coronavirus. at this point particularly, because as you suggest, after what was widely acknowledged as a strong start, the vaccine rollout programme here in the uk has hit a stumbling block in the uk has hit a stumbling block in the last week. we heard about the delay of shipments coming from india, which means that appointments won't be offered throughout april to those under 50, and that's the first major hold—up really since the programme began. crucially, though, the government is still saying it can meet its target of vaccinating all adults by the end ofjuly, and all adults by the end ofjuly, and all those in the top priority groups by the middle of april. there have been worries as well, given what countries around europe have done, sparked by concerns over the oxford astrazeneca dad, the one the prime minister himself received, and i'm sure the government will be hoping the verdict of the european medicines regulatory agency that it's safe and effective will

hopefully put people's minds at rest. there is still some evidence, though, that take—up of the vaccine does vary, both regionally and also according to factors such as people living in poorer areas being less likely to have had it than those living in affluent areas, and also black and minority ethnic groups as well being less likely to have had the jab even when they are eligible. so the government will be hoping — i'm sure the programme continues despite the hold—ups and they are still able to meet those targets. that's the situation here, but what about a little further afield? in poland, shops, hotels, cultural and sporting facilities are closed across the country for three weeks as the country faces its highest new daily rates of covid cases since november. let's speak to our correspondent adam easton, who joins us from warsaw. bring us up—to—date with the situation with covid and the new lockdown.

yes, as you mentioned new daily infections this week have risen to levels not seen for more than four months. the peak of the second wave here in poland — we are already into our third wave here, and it's nowhere near the peak with people's expectations that the infection rate will continue to rise, and that will test the capabilities of the health system, where already we've got three quarters of beds occupied and there are most patients on ventilators now than at any point since the pandemic began. because of that, we got a new partial lockdown introduced this morning. that means that shopping centres, hotels, sporting and cultural facilities, cinemas, swimming pools, theatres are all closed, but the health minister says that if the infection rate continues to rise — he's warned about complacency about restrictions. he says that people

now feel that they've somehow — that somehow covid has been contained, and people are not sticking to the restrictions like they were last year. so he said that a full lockdown, which would involve travel bands and the closure of almost all shops and services, will be imposed. thank you very much for now, adam. a police officer who drunkenly assaulted a woman in warwickshire has avoided prison. pc 0liver banfield was given a 14—week curfew after he grabbed and manhandled emma homer lastjuly. he has been suspended and faces disciplinary action. the investigating force has apologised for delays in the prosecution. there's still no news about the whereabouts of bbc journalist aung thura, who was abducted in myanmar on friday. the bbc has asked the military authorities in the country to locate him

and confirm that he is safe. he was taken in the capital by unidentified men in plain clothes, and we don't know where he's been taken to. we don't currently know where he is. he was with another journalist from another organisation who was also taken at the same time, and we are really appealing to the authorities in myanmar to help us locate aung thura and confirmed to us that he is safe and well. a volcano has erupted in the south—west of iceland after the region experienced thousands of small earthquakes in recent weeks. the eruption, which is around 18 miles from the capital, reykjavik, caused the night sky to glow bright red and led to a temporary suspension of flights at the country's international airport. just looking from above, it's quite a show, isn't it?— a show, isn't it? must have been a little bit worrying _ a show, isn't it? must have been a little bit worrying if _ a show, isn't it? must have been a little bit worrying if you _ a show, isn't it? must have been a little bit worrying if you were i little bit worrying if you were anywhere in the vicinity.

history of this. kate, shall we start with you? we've been doing this since the 1800s. what does it tell us, this census information? what is fascinating about the census is how historians like me — we absolutely love it, we find it so gripping. we are all very excited, because the census remains confidential for a 100 years, because the census remains confidentialfor a 100 years, so i'm very happy on getting my hands on the 1921 census, which we should get next year. but many of those in history haven't really enjoyed being counted. in britain it goes back to the 1800s, and the first one was like a headcount, and they want today, who is in which household, that 1841, and it carries on like that 1841, and it carries on like that every ten years, apart from during world war ii. i think we often think that there wasn't the technology to do it before, but that's not the case. there was a large resistance against it. britain

would have undergone the census while it was part of the roman empire, and the census itself dates back to at least 3800 bc, the mesopotamians using clay tablets, and the impulse to count people is usually due to either taxation or military service. we need to see how much you earn or how many slaves you have or both, and that was quite unpopular. but we do have a census quite early in this country called the doomsday book. the first thing william the conqueror does when he conquers britain in 1066 is — i want to survey the land and see what we've got. it gives a different snapshot. the mesopotamians asked how much butter you have, and increasingly now it's for planning, so there are different questions being added each year and it gives a different notion of what the state wants to know and wants to ask. it's incredible really to think that the question — what is your ethnic grouping — was only added in 1991, in the same year1 was added about

central heating.— central heating. that's the history, and there have _ central heating. that's the history, and there have been _ central heating. that's the history, and there have been some - central heating. that's the history, l and there have been some additional questions this year and a few tweaks. what is the purpose of this census? what is it you want to find out? ~ ., ., ., , ., ,, ., out? we want to get a snapshot of who we are. _ out? we want to get a snapshot of who we are, where _ out? we want to get a snapshot of who we are, where we _ out? we want to get a snapshot of who we are, where we live, - out? we want to get a snapshot of who we are, where we live, the i out? we want to get a snapshot of. who we are, where we live, the jobs we do. _ who we are, where we live, the jobs we do. so _ who we are, where we live, the jobs we do. so it— who we are, where we live, the jobs we do, so it can provide vital information for services. as kate says. _ information for services. as kate says. it's — information for services. as kate says, it's know a lot about planning _ says, it's know a lot about planning. it's about getting council services _ planning. it's about getting council services people need in their local communities. the school and education _ communities. the school and education services people need. also i've education services people need. also i've seen— education services people need. also i've seen much wider uses as well. i've seen much wider uses as well. i've seen— i've seen much wider uses as well. i've seen it — i've seen much wider uses as well. i've seen it used for planning, disabled — i've seen it used for planning, disabled parking spaces, shops and also in _ disabled parking spaces, shops and also in order to get new playgrounds for children — also in order to get new playgrounds for children in west wales. there's a wide _ for children in west wales. there's a wide of— for children in west wales. there's a wide of uses around it, as well, around _ a wide of uses around it, as well, around planning for housing and also cvclewav _ around planning for housing and also cycleway and infrastructure. a cycleway and infrastructure. critical question that a lot of people have asked that it is a snapshot in time, so when it comes

to asking about your employment status, people have said, should i write what's happening at the moment or what i expect it to be six months down the line or where i was six months ago? it doesn't feel like necessarily a very accurate picture of the last ten years, for example. yes, so the employment status and what you're — yes, so the employment status and what you're doing now, there's guidance — what you're doing now, there's guidance online for people who want to get extra help on how to do that on the _ to get extra help on how to do that on the census website. but ourjob here is— on the census website. but ourjob here is to — on the census website. but ourjob here is to get that snapshot and then— here is to get that snapshot and then to — here is to get that snapshot and then to continually monitor and update — then to continually monitor and update throughout the period. it vital we — update throughout the period. it vital we get this snapshot now so that we _ vital we get this snapshot now so that we can build and understand how we build _ that we can build and understand how we build out from the pandemic, and none of— we build out from the pandemic, and none of us _ we build out from the pandemic, and none of us actually know what the new normal is going to look like, and therefore having the data now provides _ and therefore having the data now provides that information to enable that planning. | provides that information to enable that planning-— that planning. i suppose initially it's 'ust that planning. i suppose initially it'sjust data. — that planning. i suppose initially it'sjust data, but _ that planning. i suppose initially it'sjust data, but then - that planning. i suppose initially it'sjust data, but then in - it's just data, but then in 100 years' time we get the detail and we can release it, and when the confidentiality is less of an issue.

kate, when you've gone through censusis kate, when you've gone through census is passed, what are the little things you've noticed that reveal so much about how we've changed and how we used to live? is really regulatory and the more questions we ask, the more we know. and i also think it is very endearing. when you say we will get the statistics about this one but i sadly won't be able to search this one for more than 100 years and i think that does make sure that hopefully we answer the questions honestly. there was talk in the 19605 about introducing a question about how much we all learn but there was so much opposition to it, it was quickly abandoned. i think there was a question that many of us will want to answer. when you look at the census, there are many people in a very straight way but that tells us so much, we can see what differentjobs there are, where they gathered. and they otherjobs we don't any more. andi gathered. and they otherjobs we don't any more. and i maker, one of these interesting jobs. —— i maker.

and people as it in a way that they don't normally do. you see things —— people's job is don't normally do. you see things —— people'sjob is a mouse don't normally do. you see things —— people's job is a mouse catcher. don't normally do. you see things —— people'sjob is a mouse catcher. and the victorians have a section in which it was infirmities. you see families occasionally saying bad tempered all the children didn't do anything. there are all sorts of different entrants that people put and we have to remember that the census covers everyone. we all have to fill it in. that means you can seek queen victoria on the senses, you can see houdini. houdini was on the census as well. it is fascinating to give a picture of so many parts of britain at the time and it really, i think it is such a boon to family historians, those wanting to research our house and i

was just saying there is a lot of resistance against the census but historians like me wish we could have gone back a bit earlier to the 18th century and then have gone right back here. it is 18th century and then have gone right back here. it is fascinating. thank you _ right back here. it is fascinating. thank you both _ right back here. it is fascinating. thank you both very _ right back here. it is fascinating. thank you both very much i right back here. it is fascinating. i thank you both very much indeed. tomorrow is the day, if you haven't filled in, online this time was up and you can't put your dog in. although i do think the dog contributes more than the children, but i was just looking up to see how many people have been fined for not filling in the census. the last one, ten years ago, work —— 120 people were fined for not filling it in. some of those were conscientious objector is. i don't know how many of them ended up in a fine the threat is there. it is a real one. you could potentially end up in court. t you could potentially end up in court. , , , ., , , , court. i suppose this time, this census, court. i suppose this time, this census. you — court. i suppose this time, this census, you don't _ court. i suppose this time, this census, you don't have - court. i suppose this time, this census, you don't have the i court. i suppose this time, this i census, you don't have the excuse of being away because everyone is at home this year. let's go to matt for

western scotland, not quite as warm in western scotland and that is because the high pressure has shifted. winds coming around it a clockwise fashion to the wind into scotland is a more westerly direction, bringing more cloud and later bringing that front which will bring rain to 0rkney shetland. eventually a southerly. the odd spot of dry —— drizzle. the best of the afternoon breaks will be across parts of eastern scotland and north—east england. as i said, highest of the temperatures here for most though this afternoon, temperatures around nine to 11 or 12 celsius so it is not a fairly cool day. we will finish the sunshine in or gleason —— 0rkney shetland but through tonight, the weather front which brings those clear skies. england and wales, nothing more than spots of rain and drizzle and merc over the hills skies clear to the north of it, this is where we could

see a touch of frost so tomorrow morning will be a little bit chillier than this morning across the northern half of the country. mild enough in southern parts of england and wales. you expected to be a bit grey, misty, murky and a bit of damp and drizzle, but ripening up and actually tomorrow, we all have a better chance of seeing the sunshine. a few showers in northern scotland later for seeing the sunshine. a few showers in northern scotland laterfor some of you worried has been grey for a few days, a better chance of these quy few days, a better chance of these guy at times. a bit cooler, shifting the wind direction and temperature down on today's highs. clear skies through sunday night and monday morning, head to monday morning, there could be a bit of frost so if you are out planting this weekend, bear that in mind. a little bit of frost as well for the first few nights of next week, too. i pressure with us. i pressure means dry but low pressure gets closer by. 0utbreaks low pressure gets closer by. outbreaks of rain and a bit more breeze. turning wetter and windier and dry a bit further south.

looking good, matt. this time last year businesses around the country were preparing for the start of the first lockdown, but as they got ready to close their doors they couldn't have predicted what might lie ahead. our business correspondent katy austin has been catching up with some of the people that she spoke to last year to find out how they've coped with a rollercoaster 12 months. 0n on friday the 20th of march 2020, non—essential retail had not yet been ordered to shut but customers had vanished. this been ordered to shut but customers had vanished-— had vanished. this is the worst ever, had vanished. this is the worst ever. people — had vanished. this is the worst ever, people are _ had vanished. this is the worst ever, people are panicking. i had vanished. this is the worst i ever, people are panicking. what is it like hearing _ ever, people are panicking. what is it like hearing yourself _ ever, people are panicking. what is it like hearing yourself back- ever, people are panicking. what is it like hearing yourself back from i it like hearing yourself back from them? it it like hearing yourself back from them? , ., , ., , it like hearing yourself back from them? , ., , .,, ., them? it is quite worrying. it was a wor in: them? it is quite worrying. it was a worrying time- _ them? it is quite worrying. it was a worrying time- it — them? it is quite worrying. it was a worrying time. it was _ them? it is quite worrying. it was a worrying time. it was a _ them? it is quite worrying. it was a worrying time. it was a time - them? it is quite worrying. it was a worrying time. it was a time when l them? it is quite worrying. it was a i worrying time. it was a time when we didn't know what was going to happen the next day. a lot of our customers are commuters stop the commuters went commuting so businesswise, we lost a lot of trade this year. the

headlines coming up. reveal so much about how we've changed and how we used to live? hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. the prime minister has said he cannot recommend the coronavirus vaccine highly enough after receiving his first dose of the oxford—astrazeneca jab. several european countries resumed their rollout of the vaccine yesterday after it had been paused over fears of a link to blood clots. regulators now say it is safe and effective. we'rejoined now by gp dr sarahjarvis. shejoins us now she joins us now from west london.

good morning. were you relieved to see the prime minister getting his jab and urging people? yes. see the prime minister getting his jab and urging people?— jab and urging people? yes, i'm alwa s jab and urging people? yes, i'm always pleased _ jab and urging people? yes, i'm always pleased to _ jab and urging people? yes, i'm always pleased to see _ jab and urging people? yes, i'm always pleased to see people i jab and urging people? yes, i'm i always pleased to see people getting their vaccine, and of course particularly useful when the prime minister, who had covid a year ago now, and may have found his antibody levels drop quite significantly or his resistance — great to see him not only having it but recommending it to others, as of course now the world health organization continued to recommend that while the investigation was going on, the nhra continued to recommend it and indeed the european medicines agency continue to recommend it while it was going on. but it is reassuring that it is now restarting in france, italy and germany and due to restart in spain and other countries in the next couple of days.— next couple of days. interesting that the oxford _ next couple of days. interesting that the oxford astrazeneca i next couple of days. interesting | that the oxford astrazeneca jab, which has been the source of so much controversy this week in europe — have you noticed here in the uk and

in your surgery — have people been raising concerns here? even though those concerns have now been allayed ljy those concerns have now been allayed by the regulators. those concerns have now been allayed by the regulators-_ by the regulators. there is no auestion by the regulators. there is no question that _ by the regulators. there is no question that more _ by the regulators. there is no question that more people i by the regulators. there is no i question that more people have by the regulators. there is no - question that more people have been concerned and some people have not been turning up for their vaccine doses. what worries me is that you can't ask which vaccine you're getting, and if you don't turn up particularly to a session which is including the pfizer vaccine, then there is a real chance that large amounts of vaccine are going to go to waste, because while with the astrazeneca vaccine, if people don't turn up, we may waste the bottom of the vials — and that's why of course we have short—term waiting lists, so people who can go on as a few minutes' notice can be run up to prevent those few doses being wasted — with pfizer, if there are large numbers who don't turn up, that vaccine will have to be thrown away, because it's only got a few days of she” because it's only got a few days of shelf life once it's been taken out of deep storage. i shelf life once it's been taken out of deep storage.—

shelf life once it's been taken out of deep storage. i was going to ask ou about of deep storage. i was going to ask you about that. _ of deep storage. i was going to ask you about that, because _ of deep storage. i was going to ask you about that, because we - of deep storage. i was going to ask you about that, because we got i of deep storage. i was going to ask you about that, because we got a l you about that, because we got a quote from a senior doctor in liverpool who said that where he is there is currently what he described as a feast of vaccine — they've got loads of it giveaway — but often not enough people to administer it to. he's asking whether there needs to be maybe a new approach, because he's not allowed to give it to people under 50. so what do you do with it if you've got it left over at the end of the day? if with it if you've got it left over at the end of the day?- with it if you've got it left over at the end of the day? if you have not doses at the end of the day? if you have got doses left _ at the end of the day? if you have got doses left over _ at the end of the day? if you have got doses left over at _ at the end of the day? if you have got doses left over at the - at the end of the day? if you have got doses left over at the end i at the end of the day? if you have got doses left over at the end of l got doses left over at the end of the day, i think it's perfectly reasonable to have a waiting list andindeed reasonable to have a waiting list and indeed we've had one in our area. every gp i know who's part of area. every gp i know who's part of a primary care network, where the nurses, the healthcare assistants and the gps are working together to offer those vaccines, has a waiting list, and people not in that group butjust list, and people not in that group but just outside as list, and people not in that group butjust outside as close as possible can't can be put on a list when they get phoned up at the end of the day to say, we've got six doses left over, can you be here in

half—an—hour? that's completely appropriate. with pfizer, there is the concern, because if there are large amounts because it's only got the short shelf life, we'd find it difficult to find enough people in that cohort. should we be thinking, then, about second doses? yes, absolutely, because we are starting to rule roll those out, and from the beginning of april people will begin to get their second doses. lode beginning of april people will begin to get their second doses. we heard about the drop _ to get their second doses. we heard about the drop in _ to get their second doses. we heard about the drop in supply, _ to get their second doses. we heard about the drop in supply, and i to get their second doses. we heard about the drop in supply, and that i about the drop in supply, and that will be the priority, with it, getting to those second doses within the 12 week window?— the 12 week window? that's right. firstl we the 12 week window? that's right. firstly we want — the 12 week window? that's right. firstly we want to _ the 12 week window? that's right. firstly we want to give _ the 12 week window? that's right. firstly we want to give people i the 12 week window? that's right. i firstly we want to give people where it's humanly possible the same kind of vaccine they had with their first dose, and that can be a challenge. i am delighted to report — ifelt like i'd won the lottery the day before yesterday when i got a text confirming that i could now book my second dose. it reallyjust felt great. but also of course there are about 7 million people from those top nine groups who haven't yet been

vaccinated, and practice groups are certainly going to get focusing perhaps on pop—up centres in, say, bases of worship in community centres and trying to get out to those hard to reach people. perhaps care homes where people are ill and couldn't have the vaccine doing second and third visits, more visits to housebound people, to try and get that small proportion of those 7 million people out of the 32 most vulnerable who haven't had their first vaccine.— vulnerable who haven't had their first vaccine. ., ., first vaccine. you are saying where it is humanly _ first vaccine. you are saying where it is humanly possible _ first vaccine. you are saying where it is humanly possible it _ first vaccine. you are saying where it is humanly possible it should i first vaccine. you are saying where it is humanly possible it should be | it is humanly possible it should be the same vaccine is first time round. is it possible you might have had a pfizer won first time round and you get an oxford one next time, or should that be avoided? lit should, simply because we don't know yet. there's no reason why they shouldn't work together, and indeed there are trials going on, but we always where we can't. it makes sense they would work together, because all the vaccines we got are targeting the same spiked protein of the coronavirus and priming your

immune system to respond to those. however, we try to follow the science wherever we can, and of course we would much rather people had two doses of the same vaccine. however, if it's 13 weeks rather than 12, betterthan however, if it's 13 weeks rather than 12, better than not getting it at all, and if there really isn't any chance of getting the same one, then maybe a few people who end up getting a second dose from a different variety.— getting a second dose from a different variety. thank you very much indeed. _ it's a big weekend of sport, but in particularfor rugby it's a big weekend of sport, but in particular for rugby union fans. it's not really the conclusion of the six nations, because there is another game. there could be all sorts of permutations. if wales can win — no easy task in paris — they will achieve the grand slam, a fifth grand slam for wales, fourth for their captain, which is incredible. most players dream of doing one. if wales draw, they will

be champions. if they lose, they can still be champions, but we will have to wait till next friday because of the delayed match because france could pick them to the total. it's also playful, but there could be a little passover till next week. if you're a welsh rugby union fan, you may already be feeling the nerves this morning. the team is on the verge of winning this year's six nations. to do that, they'll need to beat france in paris this evening to complete the grand slam. victory would also see captain alun wynjones become the first welshman to win four six nations grand slam titles, but he's not thinking about that just yet. he is more motivated by helping to lift a nation after what people have been through this last year. the privilege and a sense of pride we have in representing wales has been accentuated by the field situation that's going on. i as an individual and the team have not

needed reminding of whatever we are facing and obviously what we are representing. facing and obviously what we are representing-— representing. that's at eight o'clock tonight. _ before that ireland host england in dublin — both sides looking to finish second in the table. england have won their last four matches against ireland, and they're not sticking to their game plan. it comes down to being able to get on the front foot and being able to, i guess, implant how we want to play the game. so no different — you have to get on the front foot and also stop their momentum. nothing really changes in that area. scotland's hopes of a first six nations title since 1999 were ended by a heart—breaking defeat to ireland last week. despite that, they will look to finish on a high and can finish second if they win their remaining two games. they face italy at murrayfield in the first match this afternoon. we're joined now by former

scotland captain andy nicol. first of all, i've got to ask how you are, because you did have your positive covid—i9 test last week, so you are isolating — no commentary for you today, feet up on the sofa with a cup of tea. how are you feeling? with a cup of tea. how are you feelin: ? ., ., v with a cup of tea. how are you feelinl? . ., �*, , with a cup of tea. how are you feelin. ? . . �*, , . feeling? thanks, mate. it's been a touch feeling? thanks, mate. it's been a tough week. _ feeling? thanks, mate. it's been a tough week, but _ feeling? thanks, mate. it's been a tough week, but feeling _ feeling? thanks, mate. it's been a tough week, but feeling a - feeling? thanks, mate. it's been a tough week, but feeling a lot i feeling? thanks, mate. it's been a| tough week, but feeling a lot better as we _ tough week, but feeling a lot better as we come to the end of the week and looking — as we come to the end of the week and looking forward to super saturday — sadly not being able to participate today at murrayfield. but at _ participate today at murrayfield. but at least you won't have the nerves, may be, for scotland today. at home against italy with a chance to flourish ahead of that france came next week. it’s to flourish ahead of that france came next week.— to flourish ahead of that france came next week. it's not been the six nations _ came next week. it's not been the six nations that _ came next week. it's not been the six nations that scotland - came next week. it's not been the six nations that scotland had i came next week. it's not been the i six nations that scotland had hoped for, especially when they beat england — for, especially when they beat england in that first game back in early— england in that first game back in early february. it's been a bit frustrating as a result. promised so much and has not yet delivered. but a chance _ much and has not yet delivered. but a chance - _ much and has not yet delivered. but a chance - it's— much and has not yet delivered. but a chance — it's an exciting team today— a chance — it's an exciting team today with _ a chance — it's an exciting team today with stuart hogg playing at ten, which in itself is a really

astronomical spring. this is the scene in herefordshire at the moment, grey skies overhead. a similar picture for the vast majority, a cloudy day but as we have hinted out, it will be a dry one for the vast majority. how warm it feels can also depend on how much cloud you have and where the wind is coming from. if you get the wind of the sea at the moment, some pretty chilly seas out there. the winds are going from north—west to south—east, in that sort of direction. it is the eastern areas that will benefit from some of the highest of the temperatures and the best of the cloud breaks. north—east england as we go through today, sunny start for those in the english channel. staying sunny, in the channel islands was not the vast majority.

temperatures today around nine, maybe 13. but with the winds coming from a north—westerly direction, potentially up to around 17 degrees, 63 fahrenheit. a real spill of spring in the air. patchy rain and drizzle for scotland, northern ireland, works its way in. skies were clear later on and that means temperature is will drop a bit further tonight. a chillier start to tomorrow morning. these other values we will be waking up to but as parts of southern scotland, northern ireland, if you will have a bit frost around on the grass. bit of a grey drizzly start for some southern counties of england, south wales. slowly brightening up, lasting longest, the cloud around the, but for tomorrow, a better chance more of you will see the sunshine. it will feel nice when the sunshine is

on your back at overall, a chillier day, can produce down a few degrees. with a chillier air in place, a few skies around on sunday night. if you are planting this weekend, take note that they could be a touch of frost around, particularly for england and wales in southern scotland. as we go through the week, high—pressure slips away. every week, bbc news presenter ros atkins takes an in—depth look at one of the issues that have been hitting the headlines. this time, it's the astrazeneca vaccine and why some countries in europe decided to suspend its rollout. let's take a look. this week we're going to look at a puzzle. l

patients. the night leprous act of a third wave in europe is now real. figs third wave in europe is now real. as well as this, there is the issue of the speed of europe's clean rollout. as you can see here, eu member states are vaccinating far more slowly than the uk and the us. infection rates, hospitalisations, vaccination speed, the astrazeneca jab could help address all of this, but as the uk's debbie chief medical officer put it this week... but as the uk's debbie chief medical officer put it this week. . .— officer put it this week... vaccines don't save — officer put it this week... vaccines don't save lives _ officer put it this week... vaccines don't save lives if _ officer put it this week... vaccines don't save lives if they _ officer put it this week... vaccines don't save lives if they are - officer put it this week... vaccines don't save lives if they are in - don't save lives if they are in fridges, they only save lives if they are in arms. 50 fridges, they only save lives if they are in arms.— fridges, they only save lives if they are in arms. so what is going on here? how— they are in arms. so what is going on here? how do _ they are in arms. so what is going on here? how do we get to - they are in arms. so what is going on here? how do we get to the i on here? how do we get to the point that this vaccine is not being used as much as it could be? well, i have four possible explanations. pr, process, politics and first, patients, norwegian patients. you lack the clusters of patients that we are talking about are not the more common clock that, these are very rare and severe places with critical outcome in a very young population where this is not common

one uk cabinet minister saying it has got to the stage where... well, the eu will have none of that, but make no mistake, every vaccine rollout is political. the political pressure to get it right is immense. and astrazeneca finds itself in the middle of broader political tensions between the uk and the eu, and european tensions around the vaccine rollout. just have a look at this. here we have the head of italy's medicine authority on those astrazeneca suspensions, saying... will this is a leading expert —— expert on pharmaceutical drugs on populations. expert on pharmaceutical drugs on pepuiations-_ expert on pharmaceutical drugs on --oulations. . ., ., , populations. once one of them starts doinu populations. once one of them starts doin: it, populations. once one of them starts doing it. they — populations. once one of them starts doing it. they get _ populations. once one of them starts doing it. they get a — populations. once one of them starts doing it, they get a collective - doing it, they get a collective anxiety. they don't want to be standing out, they don't want to be the only ones going on delivering it. ., , ., ., it. the idea being that if an influential _ it. the idea being that if an influential country - it. the idea being that if an influential country like - it. the idea being that if an - influential country like germany takes action, it becomes politically

good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. a shot in the arm for the prime minister as he urges other people to take up the vaccine. it was very good, very quick, and you know what i'm going to say — i cannot recommend it too highly. but europe braces for a third wave of infections — with fresh lockdowns in parts of france and poland. the 6 nations grand slam, beckons for wales... if they can win in france, tonight, roared on by their captain alun wynjones, who's been dubbed superman by the french.

snails are super super sharp because they have very bad eyesight. snails are super super sharp because they have very bad eyesight. the six—year—old giving sir david attenborough a run for his money. it is the spring equinox and it is the turn of north—east england to enjoy some spring warmth. all the details later. good morning. good morning. it's saturday 20th march. our top story. the prime minister borisjohnson has recieved his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine as he urged everyone who's eligible to get the jab. the roll out has resumed in parts of europe, where new lockdown measures have been reintroduced in france and poland as many countries battle a sharp rise in infections. this report from simonjones contains flashing images. back at the hospital he credits with saving his life, borisjohnson gets his first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine at st thomas's in london,

a personal backing after days of debate in the eu about its possible side effects, resulting in europe's medical regulator saying it is safe. i literally did not feel a thing, and so it was very good, very quick, and you know what i'm going to say — i cannot recommend it too highly. everybody, when you do get your notification to go for a jab, please go and get it. it is the best thing for you, the best thing for your family and for everybody else. around half the uk's adult population has been given a first dose, but the same can't be said for much of the eu, with a faltering vaccine programme due to delayed deliveries and vaccine scepticism leading to fears of a third wave. in france, new lockdown restrictions came into force in paris at midnight, and in germany coronavirus cases are rising exponentially with the chancellor warning it's likely the country will have to apply an emergency brake and reimpose lockdown measures. just 8% of germany's population has

so far received the first dose of vaccine, and there is a warning to uk can't afford to be complacent. we've had our first wave and second wave, and there are areas of the country where it is staying at a relatively high level. what will happen is the infections will come back again, and if we haven't protected our vulnerable population at that stage, then we will be back where we were in march and april of last year. we've got a little card - for you to take away with you. to complement the programme, the government is funding two new clinical trials to try to develop treatments to stop the spread of covid among the most vulnerable. the message from the prime minister is that the scientists will help us get through this. we're joined now by our political correspondent jonathan blake. jonathan, it's been a tricky week with the vaccine roll out across europe — how important is it that the prime minister has now received this jab?

yes, and the message was clear from the prime minister, emphasising it is quick and painless and urging people to come forward and have the job when they're eligible. perhaps that will be ratios for some people because it has been a difficult week for the vaccine roll out here after what has widely been acknowledged as a strong start. they hit a stumbling block with the delay of delivery from india and appointments being posed during april. that is the first significant delay since the programme started but the government is still confident they can meet their target of vaccinating the entire adult population byjuly and most vulnerable groups by april. there is some inconsistency in take—up, people in black and ethnic minority community is less likely to have the jab and also people in

poorer communities. more pressing way, a concern about what is happening in europe, rising cases in several countries and reimposition of lockdown measures which will bring a big worry for the government here, even though the vaccine programme is continuing at pace, it is the people who spread the virus more easily who are not vaccinated, leaving the population as a whole more vulnerable. so we will be keeping a close eye on rollout. in poland, shops, hotels, cultural and sporting facilities are closed across the country for three weeks as the country faces its highest new daily rates of covid cases since november. let's speak to our correspondent adam easton who joins us from warsaw. adam, how serious is the situation there? people are blaming this on the british variant, what can details about that?—

about that? health ministry officials here _ about that? health ministry officials here say _ about that? health ministry officials here say that i about that? health ministry officials here say that the l about that? health ministry i officials here say that the search cases we have seen, the third wave has hit poland, undeniably the numbers of new cases are almost as high as the peak of the second wave which was in november here. the third wave has not peaked yet, cases are expected to rise and the main cause of that surge is the so—called british variant which originated in southern england. that is now responsible for more than 60% of all infections in poland according to officials and it will be about 80% very soon so this is something that has been rampant in northern poland where we have additional regional restrictions over the couple of weeks but the rate has become so

alarming that a partial national lockdown has been introduced from today. on top of the fact that schools mostly have been closed for the best part of the year, apart from six weeks when the new school year started in september, restaurants, bars and cafes are closed. only takeaway service. on top of that, shopping centres, hotels, cinemas, swimming pools are close from today and the minister says if the infection rate continues he is not ruling out introducing a film lockdown which would mean travel bans and closing of all shops and services like hairdressers, tatchell parlours and the like. thank you very much. —— tattoo parlours. the government's facing calls to change coronavirus legislation — to allow protests to take place during lockdown.

campaign groups and more than 60 mp5 have written to the home secretary, saying the restrictions ignore the right to protest. a number of demonstrations are planned for today by women's safety groups and anti—lockdown campaigners. the home office has urged people not to attend. a police officer who drunkenly assaulted a woman in warwickshire has avoided prison. pc oliver banfield was given a fourteen—week curfew after he grabbed and manhandled emma homer lastjuly. he has been suspended and faces disciplinary action. the investigating force has apologised for delays in the prosecution. a volcano has erupted in the south west of iceland, after the region experienced thousands of small earthquakes in recent weeks. the eruption — which is around 18 miles from the capital reykjavik — caused the night sky to glow bright red and led to a temporary suspension of flights at the country's international airport. glastonbury organisers are working on plans to hold a one—off concert and allow camping on the site this summer,

despite cancelling the main festival. the plans for the two—night event have not yet been formalised but co—organiser emily eavis said they were applying for council licences. the festival itself was called off injanuary for the second year in a row. asjohn bono as john bono being asjohn bono being a resident of the west country, it is always that funny. west country, it is always that funn . ., , ., "the best thing for you, your family and everyone else". that's how the prime minister described the coronavirus vaccine — after receiving his first dose of the oxford—astrazeneca jab.the roll—out of the vaccine has resumed in france, germany and italy, but remains paused in several other european countries — despite experts insisting that there's little risk of blood clots. we can speak now to professor robin shattock, who is the lead professor for one of the teams developing vaccines at imperial college london.

good morning, thank you for being with us. this particular issue in europe, a lot of people were making comparisons with blood clots post vaccine and regular occurrences of blood clots but this particular issue was very specific about a certain kind of clotting, so what do we now know about it?— we now know about it? essentially what we know _ we now know about it? essentially what we know is _ we now know about it? essentially what we know is there _ we now know about it? essentially what we know is there is - we now know about it? essentially what we know is there is no i what we know is there is no association between the vaccine and any of these types of blood clots. they are very revenge comedy happen naturally. occasionally the two things will come together, someone will have a vaccine and is a real event. they are not linked. that has been done definitively, _ event. they are not linked. that has been done definitively, you're i event. they are not linked. that hasj been done definitively, you're happy with that? , ., ., , , ., with that? yes, that has been done definitively- — with that? yes, that has been done

these isolated incidents that are not linked to the vaccines itself. the other big news is the bulk in supply for the uk which we know is down to issues from supply in india. the roll—out to the over 40s is not going to happen, yet we have some people involved in the roll—out to saying we are sitting in —— in the nhs saying we are sitting on supplies and not allowed to get them out, do you know about that? i do not know out, do you know about that? i do rrot know the _ out, do you know about that? i if not know the precise details of those reports. we know the vaccine is being used as well as a possibly can. there are situations where one should open the file, there are multiple doses and you might not have enough people turning up on that day so there are ad hoc situations where people offer it to other age groups just to make sure

scotland and north—east england habit more sunshine which is why we will see temperatures left into the midteens. around 9—13 c today, less chilly in east anglia because we have lost the breeze. in the north... as we go through the night, the cloud and patchy rain and drizzle in scotland and northern ireland will push south to england and wales as we go through tomorrow morning. a mild night start but damp and drizzly in the north. clear skies around, a colder start and could be the touch of frost most will be frost free however, patchy rain in the south gradually easing. the chance of sunnier breaks here and there. large amounts of cloud but if you have been having grey skies, i am optimistic there should be areas of blue in the sky above

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. wales trying for this grand slam once again. a huge day of rugby in store. all of the teams in action.

we start at murrayfield with scotland against italy, followed by ireland against england in dublin. and then it's the big one, as wales take on france in paris, looking for another grand slam title. austin halewood reports. wheels are the team to beat, just one victory away from a sixth grand slam. —— wales. should wales beat france in paris, alun wyn jones should wales beat france in paris, alun wynjones would be willing —— would be lifting the trophy, he is just as important to the team as he

nations— will be the toughest test in six nations so far. after - nations so far. after a shaky start wales have started to thrive. sealing the grand slam is not farfrom started to thrive. sealing the grand slam is not far from the ultimate test. if that is one thing this welsh team has done all year it is upset the odds. rangers midfielder glen kamara, has spoken for the first time about his allegation of racial abuse by slavia prague defender, 0ndrey, kudela in their europa league clash at ibrox on thursday. kamara issued a statement through his lawyer, giving a detailed account of the incident, and describing kudela's version of events as a "complete and utter lie". he demanded action from uefa, who are investigating that, and slavia prague's claim that he had assaulted kudela in the tunnel, after the game. the scottish government, has confirmed that tomorrow's old firm match, at celtic park will go ahead, despite concerns over crowds, gathering in defiance of covid safety rules. there are fears there could be a repeat of the scenes outside ibrox,

after rangers put themselves on the brink of winning the league title. both clubs have repeatedly urged their supporters to stay away tomorrow, and police scotland has warned that officers will make arrests if there are any mass gatherings. leeds united's patrick bamford, channelled his frustration, at missing out on a first england call up, to deepen fulham's relegation worries. bamford scored his 14th of the season, showing the instinct that's taken him to the brink of an england debut. he was named man of the match, after setting up, his brazilian teamate raphinha, as leeds won in london for the first time since 2017. they're now all but safe whereas the 2—1 defeat leaves fulham two points from safety still 3rd from bottom.

been phenomenal after she made history by becoming the first woman to finish the meeting as leading jockey. she was beaten into second place in the gold cup, which was won by jack kennedy giving trainer henry de bromhead an historic hat—trick of wins in the gold cup, champion hurdle and champion chase — the first winner to win all three at the same festival.

lee westwood said it was "a tournament too far", after he missed the cut at the honda classic in florida. he'd finished second for two weeks in a row, but he followed up an opening 70 at palm beach gardens with a round of 78, including three double bogeys, as he finished 8 over par. he said he was so tired he glazed over out on the course. we have had so many comments commenting our wildlife expert from earlier. that has been the best bit of tv ever. we salute you, young man. attenborough in the making.

we are desperate to get that moment when he can beat steve back show and they can maybe make a programme. —— meet steve bakshall. learning a new language might have been an aspiration for many of us in lockdown, but figures show there's been a boom in people learning one in particular — welsh. one popular app suggests it's now the fastest—growing language being learned in the uk — but people have been learning it all over the world too. tomos morgan has been speaking to some of them...

they are full of learners from all over the world. people like this student who lives in costa rica. she began studying in october on a language app after realising that surname has a welsh connection. a combination of welsh and spanish people that came to the land. it would be cool if i could go and study there.

last year welsh was the fastest growing language in the uk, and the number of users worldwide has increased since october. there are students in america and even someone in antarctica. back to a more familiar time zone in holland.

that gave a validation, it is not completely weird to learn welsh. taste completely weird to learn welsh. we were completely weird to learn welsh. , were surprised initially that anyone would want to learn online. ijust put up the chat club and it fills up in a few hours. as face—to—face socialising begins again.

my my grandmother is from north wales. she taught me to speak some welsh, sadly i have forgotten. spring equinox today. county durham will be one of the warmest spots today. but grey skies will dominate for many once again. a largely dry start to the weekend. high pressure still with as. winds coming in from the north—west. that is allowing these weather fronts to push into

these weather fronts to push into the north. cold sea temperatures will have a bearing on how things feel. if you get cloud and wind from the sea it will feel chilly. milder on eastern areas. sunshine continues through the english channel this afternoon. the big jumpers towards the east of northern england, temperature wise. this evening and overnight, thicker cloud with patchy light rain and drizzle pushing southwards stop

skies will clear for some. tonight will be a cold night than last night. tomorrow, the southern parts of england and south wales may be grey, misty, drizzly to begin with. the same in the channel islands. most well cleared up. not as much in the way of cloud, a better chance of sunny breaks. with colder air, take note, there could be more in the way of frost on monday morning. weather fronts closing in.

when broadcaster roman kemp's friend joe lyons took his own life last year, the shock and grief forced roman to confront his own mental health issues. the result was his documentary "our silent emergency". in it, he explores mental health and suicide affecting young men in the uk. it received widespread acclaim when it aired earlier this week. let's take a look short clip from the film. when i think about the emotions that i went through with my friend, i feel so angry that he never cold me —— never called me. he did not at least let me know. i felt angry

somehow to find him in that position. are those things that someone is thinking about? i do not thinki someone is thinking about? i do not think i will ever _ someone is thinking about? i do not think i will ever be _ someone is thinking about? i do not think i will ever be able _ someone is thinking about? i do not think i will ever be able to _ someone is thinking about? i do not think i will ever be able to truly - think i will ever be able to truly understand where i was at in my own head in_ understand where i was at in my own head in that — understand where i was at in my own head in that period of time. ijust wanted _ head in that period of time. ijust wanted a — head in that period of time. ijust wanted a bit of peace. in the back of my— wanted a bit of peace. in the back of my mind. — wanted a bit of peace. in the back of my mind, i knew what i went. and romanjoins us now. it was an extraordinary film. tell us about the reaction. it has been completely overwhelming. there is nothing else that you can see. i approached the team about

making this and everyone said at the time, as this too soon to make, for you? i use this as my own therapy. joe and i, what we did for a living was make content that makes people laugh. it felt like one last project together to try and make a difference. seeing the response, seeing the fallout from it, seeing how much people are now starting the conversation and taking things from the conversation into their own lives, again that is overwhelming. there are two key things to the story. one is trying to understand joe and where he was and how it came that he was in that position that none of his close friends knew. then there is your own mental health experiences also. that opening sequence where you talk us through what happened withjoe. none of you who were really close to him had any

idea. you had been play football with him in a few days before. you had absolutely no sense of what he was going through. yes. had absolutely no sense of what he was going through.— was going through. yes. that is exactly it- _ was going through. yes. that is exactly it. that _ was going through. yes. that is exactly it. that is _ was going through. yes. that is exactly it. that is one _ was going through. yes. that is exactly it. that is one of - was going through. yes. that is exactly it. that is one of the - exactly it. that is one of the horrible things with suicide, you are left with so many questions. you are left with so many questions. you are left with so many emotions that come from it. asjoe's mother put it, when someone takes their own life, the pain that they feel in that moment does not end, it gets passed on to the people that are left behind. what we wanted to do, i was so angry at why was i constantly hearing, it is the last person that you expect that is suffering, and renders the last person that you expect to become the person that you most expect? there are still a massive astigmatism around what people perceive as a depressed

person. ifelt it people perceive as a depressed person. i felt it was important to open up about my own things. i was like, i could not see it injoe, yet all of the nation, if we wake them up all of the nation, if we wake them up in the morning, on the radio to pick up this super upbeat person, but i go through those moments also, and depression does not wear a uniform, that is why it is ok to get help. it is ok if the dr recommends you take an antidepressant or therapy, those are things that are completely natural, completely normal. this is an issue that's particularly affects young men, statistics show. what is it about young blokes in the prime of life that makes it so difficult to reach out and talk and share? again, the main thing that i was so

fixated on showing was, as you said, this is about young men, but i would not: main, iwould this is about young men, but i would not: main, i would see it as children. we are talking about kids from the age of 1a taking their own lives. that is so shocking. something that parents should be aware of. i do believe that in some way, from the age of 16, i think that a guy, i speak from way, from the age of 16, i think that a guy, i speakfrom my way, from the age of 16, i think that a guy, i speak from my own perspective, will have made a conscious decision about whether or not they are going to open up, and how much they will open up to their own friends. that is why it is so important, and i wanted to do the research, to work out, if you get an early, if schools get an early from the age of five, to teach boys how to open up, what things like depression are, what tools they can use, if you can teach them from the

age of five, by the age of 16 they are open to everything. that is what is important. that process of opening up, something that you have done. we want to show another clip from the film where you are speaking to your mother about depression and her concerns. maybe they feel guilty about suggesting it. i did have a battle. i remember seeing to dad, i think r0man— i remember seeing to dad, i think roman suffers depression. it was not that you _ roman suffers depression. it was not that you suffer depression because your life _ that you suffer depression because your life is — that you suffer depression because your life is bad, i think it is a chemical— your life is bad, i think it is a chemical thing with you. that is what _ chemical thing with you. that is what i _ chemical thing with you. that is what l saw— chemical thing with you. that is what i saw with you. i saw a chemical— what i saw with you. i saw a chemical thing with you. that is what _ chemical thing with you. that is what i _ chemical thing with you. that is what l saw— chemical thing with you. that is what i saw with you. i sought mood swings _ swings. although i speak to swings. — although i speak to her about everything, i have never explained fully about how bad it got that day. i think that is because i did not want to marry her. but now i am thinking... have you seen me in such a state that you are worried? yes

have you seen me in such a state that you are worried?— that you are worried? yes stop lookin: that you are worried? yes stop looking back — that you are worried? yes stop looking back on _ that you are worried? yes stop looking back on that. - looking back on that. that _ looking back on that. that was one of the first time as you have had an in—depth conversation with your mother about that, what you have been through, what you have been experiencing? yes, my mother has always been there for me. she has been my hero. she has been the person that, she knows that i struggle a lot. she is always there for me. she is always the first person to notice it. it is a tough one. because you never want to scare her. there was one moment in particular that did get really bad, but i did not tell how bad it had got, i thought it was important at that moment to tell you how bad it was. she is always there. it keeps coming back to that conversation. it is so hard for someone, when you are in that moment, no matter how old you are, when you are in that moment, you are so low, the hardest

thing to do is talk. it used to almost frustrate me when i used to get told, if you are struggling, talk. because it is the hardest thing. what needs to happen is the onus needs to get placed not on the people that are not on the person that are suffering, it needs to get placed on the people around them. i was lucky that it had that person that could take that pressure in my life. my mother became my hero. i want him to watch that documentary and wants to be the hero to their friends that i genuinely felt like i was not too joe. friends that i genuinely felt like i was not toojoe. because i did not see it, i did not ask, i did not push enough. thank you so much for sharing with us this morning to stop and of course to the documentary, which is clearly having a huge resonance with a lot of people, especially young people. thank you for your time.

you can watch that documentary on the bbc iplayer. and details of help and support on mental health are available at... coming up in the next half hour we will be putting questions to our weekly coronavirus panel. latest findings on the vaccine this week. any questions you have got, any questions answered in about ten minutes' time. stay with as.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. our headlines today. a shot in the arm for the prime minister as he urges other people to take up the vaccine it was very good, very quick, and you know what i'm going to say — i cannot recommend it too highly. but europe braces for a third wave of infections — with fresh lockdowns in parts of france and poland. wales go for grand slam glory in paris... if they can win in france, tonight, they'll be champions again

and their captain alun wynjones, will make history, as first welshman to win a grand slams. you are like this, kind of like a very british. you are like this, kind of like a very british-— very british. luck, be a lady tonight- _ luck, be a lady tonight. from leading lady to critic — elaine paige tells us about her new programme pairing unlikely celebrities with show tune classics. unlikely celebrities it unlikely celebrities is the spring equinox, it is the turn it is the spring equinox, it is the turn of north—east england to enjoy a bit of spring warmth. all the details later. all the details later. good morning, saturday the 20th of march. our top story. the prime minister borisjohnson has recieved his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine as he urged everyone who's eligible to get the jab. the roll out has resumed in parts of europe, where new lockdown measures have been reintroduced in france and poland as many countries battle

a sharp rise in infections. this report from simonjones contains flashing images. back at the hospital he credits with saving his life, borisjohnson gets his first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine at st thomas's in london, a personal backing after days of debate in the eu about its possible side effects, resulting in europe's medical regulator saying it is safe. i literally did not feel a thing, and so it was very good, very quick, and you know what i'm going to say — i cannot recommend it too highly. everybody, when you do get your notification to go for a jab, please go and get it. it is the best thing for you, the best thing for your family and for everybody else. around half the uk's adult population has been given a first dose now, but the same can't be said for much of the eu, with a faltering vaccine programme due to delayed deliveries and vaccine scepticism leading to fears of a third wave. in france, new lockdown restrictions came into force in paris at midnight, and in germany

coronavirus cases are rising exponentially with the chancellor warning it's likely the country will have to apply an emergency brake and reimpose lockdown measures. just 8% of germany's population has so far received the first dose of vaccine, and there is a warning to uk can't afford to be complacent. we've had our first wave and second wave, and there are areas of the country where it is staying at a relatively high level. what will happen later in the year is the infections will come back again, and if we haven't protected our vulnerable population at that stage, then we will be back where we were in march and april of last year. we've got a little card - for you to take away with you. to complement the programme, the government is funding two new clinical trials to try to develop treatments to stop the spread of covid among the most vulnerable. the message from the prime minister is that the scientists will help us get through this. we're joined now by our political correspondent jonathan blake.

jonathan, it's been a tricky week with the vaccine roll out across europe — how important is it that the prime minister has now received this jab? symbolically significant yes and it may reassure people who were having doubts about the vaccine after a difficult week. the message from the prime minister was very simple and clear, it was quick and painless and he urged people to come forward to get the vaccine when they were asked. yes, a difficult few days because firstly there was an introduction to supply, but not in such a significant way that appointments have to be paused for the entire month of april. the government's piece of the roll—out has been slowed significantly although they are still crucially committed to their targets of getting all the adult population

vaccinated by the end ofjuly and those most vulnerable by the end of april. there is a bit of concern about certain take—up groupings, people living in less affluent areas less likely to have had it and those in ethnic minority communities as well. perhaps a more pressing concern is what is happening in europe as you saw in that report. the uk has followed suit, the last thing the government wants to see is lockdown reimposed and measuresjust as those are starting to get lifted in england and other uk nations as well. ministers i am sure keeping a close eye as to what is happening on the continent regarding the vaccines but certainly covid as a whole. thank you very much. the government's facing calls to change coronavirus legislation — to allow protests to take place during lockdown. campaign

groups and more than 60 mps have written to the home secretary, saying the restrictions ignore the right to protest. a number of demonstrations are planned for today by women's safety groups and anti—lockdown campaigners. the home office has urged people not to attend. a police officer who drunkenly assaulted a woman in warwickshire has avoided prison. pc oliver banfield was given a fourteen—week curfew after he grabbed and manhandled emma homer lastjuly. he has been suspended and faces disciplinary action. the investigating force has apologised for delays in the prosecution. there's still no news about the whereabouts of bbc journalist, aung thura who was abducted in myanmar on friday. the bbc has asked the military authorities in the country to locate him and confirm that he is safe.

he was taken in the capital by unidentified men in plain clothes, and we don't know where he's been taken to. we don't currently know where he is. he was with anotherjournalist from another organisation who was also taken at the same time, and we are really appealing to the authorities in myanmar to help us locate aung thura and confirmed to us that he is safe and well. a volcano has erupted in the south west of iceland, after the region experienced thousands of small earthquakes in recent weeks. the eruption — which is around 18 miles from the capital reykjavik — caused the night sky to glow bright red and led to a temporary suspension of flights at the country's international airport. glastonbury organisers are working on plans to hold a one—off concert and allow camping on the site this summer, despite cancelling the main festival. the plans for the two—night event have not yet been formalised but co—organiser emily eavis said they were applying for council licences. the festival itself was called off injanuary for the second year in a row.

i'm not sure it will be that sunny. sun is not guaranteed but there is a little bit of sun around with as this weekend.— little bit of sun around with as this weekend. , , ., , this weekend. there is, 'ust as we to this weekend. there is, 'ust as we go through — this weekend. there is, 'ust as we go through the h this weekend. there is, just as we go through the weekend. - this weekend. there is, just as we go through the weekend. where l this weekend. there is, just as we l go through the weekend. where you get the sunshine, it will feel pleasant. it is of course the spring equinox today. where we saw the cloud yesterday, for some actually day. let's go to the east of england, cloudy skies overhead. see temperatures of 6 degrees, sending cold air in. 6 degrees across north—east england. today will be warmer because the wind has switched direction, coming from the north—west over the pennines and warming up, what a contrast, could get up to 16 or 17. 17 in western

scotland yesterday, a colder day to come here because their high—pressure slips and winds a shifting direction so more cloud piling in. this weatherfront is wearable see rain at times and blustery winds into orkney and shetland and into lewis and harris and caithness. most places will be dry, plenty of cloud, good cloud breaks in eastern scotland and north—east england. sunshine over the english channel and especially the english channel and especially the channel islands. actually day, most places will sit with temperatures around 9—12 . this evening and overnight, we start with cloud, patchy rain and drizzle across southern scotland and northern ireland, that will drift down. not a lot of rain, a bit damp, misty and murky, especially over the hills. skies will clear later on especially for scotland and northern ireland and then there is a chance

of frost. a cooler start to the northern half of the uk. a bit of breeze in the eastern area of england. more cloud breaks developing and after a damp and drizzly start in the south, that will become confined to the west, cornwall and channel islands and most places will be dry. a bit of sunshine. temperatures lifting in the south to 15 degrees. colder conditions and a colder night will follow. taking is into monday morning, temperatures freezing in some rural areas so a greater chance of frost. a similar dry note next week. dry weather becomes more confined to the south—east. those weather fronts will bring some rain and gusty winds at times. rain in the north and north—west of scotland and northern ireland. further south,

most places will stay dry and it may turn milder. thank you very much. thank you forjoining us on breakfast this morning. "the best thing for you, your family and everyone else". that's how the prime minister described the coronavirus vaccine — after receiving his first dose of the oxford—astrazeneca jab. it has been the focus of much speculation in europe this week. the roll—out of the vaccine has resumed in france, germany and italy, but remains paused in several other european countries — despite experts insisting that there's little risk of blood clots. it has been a confusing week. let's try to answer some of your questions with the help of our regular saturday morning team — virologist doctor chris smith and professor of public health, linda bauld.

good morning to both of you. thank you forjoining us. i know a lot of people value your take on the week. where are we now compared to seven days ago when we last saw you, chris, because it feels like a bit of a bumpy week, in the words of matt hancock?— of a bumpy week, in the words of matt hancock? , . ., . matt hancock? yes, we were concerned because of supplies _ matt hancock? yes, we were concerned because of supplies about _ matt hancock? yes, we were concerned because of supplies about the _ because of supplies about the vaccine, negative press and sentiments about the astrazeneca vaccine because of what was happening in europe and then thankfully towards the end of the week enormous insurance because regulatory bodies had investigated and would continue to investigate how these vaccines were performing but we can be reassured that if there is a risk it is a really tiny one and the vast majority of coronavirus can be offset by having the vaccines are the best thing is to have the vaccine, as boris johnson said. i am very grateful we

are in our country where half the adults had been vaccinated. if you look across the channel, they are having a torrid time in european countries. ., . ., , �* having a torrid time in european countries. ., . ., ,�* ., , countries. how much doesn't worry ou that countries. how much doesn't worry you that that _ countries. how much doesn't worry you that that sort _ countries. how much doesn't worry you that that sort of _ countries. how much doesn't worry you that that sort of concern - countries. how much doesn't worry you that that sort of concern that i you that that sort of concern that some parts of the continent would filter back to here?— filter back to here? there are two thints. filter back to here? there are two things the _ filter back to here? there are two things. the concerns _ filter back to here? there are two things. the concerns about - filter back to here? there are two things. the concerns about the i things. the concerns about the oxford — things. the concerns about the oxford astrazeneca vaccine show that the system _ oxford astrazeneca vaccine show that the system is working, you can report— the system is working, you can report adverse events, they will be investigated but it is clear from the world health organization and the world health organization and the european agency that this is a safe and _ the european agency that this is a safe and effective vaccine. we have heard _ safe and effective vaccine. we have heard reports and we have talked about _ heard reports and we have talked about them about people being hesitant— about them about people being hesitant here but not much of it filtering — hesitant here but not much of it filtering through and let us hope that continues. chris is right about europe. _ that continues. chris is right about europe. it — that continues. chris is right about europe, it is— that continues. chris is right about europe, it is very grave, in france under— europe, it is very grave, in france under numberof europe, it is very grave, in france under number of other countries. it strikes _ under number of other countries. it strikes a _ under number of other countries. it strikes a cautionary note for us about— strikes a cautionary note for us about making sure as we ease

we don't know. the answer is we have to work this out as time goes on. people are aggressively studying this, following up how long the immunity lass this, following up how long the immunity [ass for because it will be critical to inform our booster strategy. we agree will probably need a booster every year at least in the near term, a bit like we do for influenza. what we know about the coronavirus family of viruses, this is just one of the family causing the current pandemic. they do not produce long—term immunity, after a couple of years most people become susceptible again. unlike natural infection, when you catch these viruses, the vaccines do produce immunity which is tens of thousands of times more powerful than catching the virus. there are a number of reasons for that. it is likely that the immunity conferred

by the vaccine might go on to last a bit longer. we do not know which is why we are doing trials to find out but rest assured, people are worrying about that and they will have a plan in place and the simple solution is if we discover that immunity is waning and more age groups are more susceptible than others, the plan will be to top up their immunity. this one is for you linda. steve wants to know if the end of march is the right time to end shielding, given there are issues around vaccine supply as well as the surge of cases in europe? maybe we should keep shielding for longer, what do you think?- maybe we should keep shielding for longer, what do you think? steve, a lot of people — longer, what do you think? steve, a lot of people around _ longer, what do you think? steve, a lot of people around the _ longer, what do you think? steve, a lot of people around the country - longer, what do you think? steve, a lot of people around the country arej lot of people around the country are thinking this. there are 3.7 million shielding in england's and more people were added to the rest —— to the list in february, we looked at

age, deprivation area and obesity so there was a different risk score given to people. the key thing is shielding is voluntary, people need to take their own precautions. as we ease out of lockdown, it is appropriate to say to people shielding that things look better so we are not requiring or asking you necessarily to do that but if you look at government guidelines, it is clear people are —— if people are concerned, they should speak to the gp and make an individual decision about what is right for them. the final point is on shielding, it varies in terms of the dates around the uk. in wales and england looks like the guidance will change at the end of march, beginning of april. a pair in scotland, not till the end of april. it is up to people to take their own decision. people shielding have been disadvantaged and more isolated than others. it is

proportionate for us to say that the same guidance that applies to the general population can apply to those shielding.— general population can apply to those shielding. children have not been able to _ those shielding. children have not been able to return _ those shielding. children have not been able to return to _ those shielding. children have not been able to return to school. - those shielding. children have not| been able to return to school. that shielding applies to them as well. chris, we've got a question from neil who asks ifjason leitch — the national clinical directorfor scotland — has said there were no major outbreaks as a result of mass gatherings of rangers fans the other week. does this mean that outdoor transmission is minimal? that is something we have discussed time and again on this program. and leads into the question why other protesters jewels or marches are not allowed. i do not want tojoin protesters jewels or marches are not allowed. i do not want to join you into the political implications but with outdoor events, is it all about proximity or whether you're speaking loudly, saying or chanting, or is there no risk at?—

loudly, saying or chanting, or is there no risk at? there is never no risk. all there no risk at? there is never no risk- all of — there no risk at? there is never no risk. all of the — there no risk at? there is never no risk. all of the above _ there no risk at? there is never no risk. all of the above you - there no risk at? there is never no risk. all of the above you just - there no risk at? there is never no risk. all of the above you just set i risk. all of the above you just set our sport own. it is about how close you are. —— just said arts pot own. you might go to an outdoor venue and you might remain socially distanced which might mean there is no chance you will bump into somebody who will give you something you have not got or vice versa but the upstream of thatis or vice versa but the upstream of that is how did get to the venue? did you share a car with another fine —— with another family, did you share a car with another fine —— with anotherfamily, did you share a bus or a plane with hundreds of other people? did you bump into hundreds of other people making the journey? dig have to use other facilities on the way with other people? it is notjust the event in isolation, it is the travel, the other events connected including the staff who run the venues, related to the event. that is what is factored in when people come to the

conclusion about how likely events are likely to lead to outbreaks or transmission. it is not the individual thing in isolation but as the level of the virus drops in the community, which it is. as the level of protection rises because of vaccination then the risk drops away so we will see a point later this year when we do feel much more comfortable because we have loaded the seesaw so heavily on one side with protection, we can afford to take more risks on the other side and the seesaw will remain balanced in our lever. in and the seesaw will remain balanced in our lever-— in our lever. in the next week we will see the _ in our lever. in the next week we will see the figures _ in our lever. in the next week we will see the figures about - in our lever. in the next week we will see the figures about the - will see the figures about the impact of kids going back to school, whether there has been more cases. this one's for linda, we've had this question from someone on twitter: "my daughter has been sent home from secondary school with test kits, should everyone else in the household also test, if so, how?".

about a year ago today, we were so ignorant. about a year ago today, we were so itnorant. . , about a year ago today, we were so itnorant. , , , ., , yes, very strange times. our business correspondent katy austin has been catching up with some of the people that she spoke to last year, to find out how they've coped with a rollercoaster 12 months. on friday 20th march 2020, nonessential retail had not yet been ordered to shut but ruth's customers had vanished. this is the worst ever mother's day ever. people are panicking. what is it like hearing yourself back from them? it is quite worrying. it was a worrying time. it was a time when we didn't know what would happen the next day. a lot of our customers are commuters. the commuters weren't commuting so business—wise we lost a lot of trade. the upsetting part of the business is our weddings and events side with all our lovely brides having to cancel their waiting.

after repeatedly closing and reopening, ruth is hoping to bring her staff back from furlough for good in april but this year has left its mark. we took out our bounce back loans which will all have to be paid back. we definitely have lost money and whether we can make it back, i don't know. by saturday 21st of march last year, restaurants like paula's had been told to close. my staff, they all need help and i am here 100% to support the staff. first of all, i was really scared. then i was like, how are we going to survive? the furlough scheme had just been announced. it did help a lot. it is a big help from the government. now in the third national lockdown, they're only open for takeaways. we had to adapt, deliveroo etc.

did you not have a lot of that before? no. how would you summarise the past year? challenging. you have come through it? thank god, yes. yes, thanks to all our customers. the sunday before lockdown key cutter and shoe repair chain timpson had already shut its doors. we based our assumption on the fact that we will be closing shops for at least three months. we have got to cut costs quickly as we can be sure we look after colleagues who have been with us a long time. seeing that video, i think i look scared. we had no idea what was going to happen. we have been closed in some of — stores for months. we have not had normal trading at all. our sites and supermarkets have been relatively consistent, our city centres, terrible. we are planning that we will revive but it will probably take three years. i am concerned that some

people will not shop in the way they used to. from a colleague perspective, it has been very difficult. two of our colleagues have died of covid. we have made redundancies, we had to do that to survive. we have used the furlough scheme in in a big way. i think it is over £23 million so far as ourfurlough claim and if it had not been for that, we would have been in real trouble. like many firms, timson has tried to adapt. so for example we really tried to push our online shoe repair service. in total i think we have had 15 pairs in a year which proves that online shoe repairing does not work but our online businesses, especially our online photo business has done really well. it has been 12 months of shocks, challenges and resilience. i think i will be a better leader now i have been through this but it has not been very pleasant. so many businesses have had to adapt and hopefully in the next few weeks we will see some of them emerge.

scotland and ireland, we kept our discipline, the opposition does not. we have just rolled throughout the tournament. we have had to pick our intensity up to a different level and we have to do that again today. but we are in there. we have always got a chance. it will be a very intriguing game this evening. what are you like watching at home? i have so many superstitions. do what are you like watching at home? i have so many superstitions.- i have so many superstitions. do you have an ? i have so many superstitions. do you have any? no- _ i have so many superstitions. do you have any? no. usually— i have so many superstitions. do you have any? no. usually i _ i have so many superstitions. do you have any? no. usually i am - i have so many superstitions. do you have any? no. usually i am sat i i have so many superstitions. do you have any? no. usually i am sat on i have any? no. usually i am sat on the halfway line watching it, commentating. someone asked me, how does this compare to other grand slams? fora does this compare to other grand slams? for a spectator, does this compare to other grand slams? fora spectator, maybe does this compare to other grand slams? for a spectator, maybe they will not plug into it because having been there to witness that these are great occasions, but as a player, because they have been locked away in hotels, travelled on their own, this might be the greatest one for them because they have had to overcome a lot of weird

if you missed any of that, you can see it on iplayer. we met somebody earlier on the programme who has been putting a joke on the end of his gun every day at the end of lockdown, to cheer everybody up. why did the pie cross the road? because he was meat and potato. what do you call a man with a crisp packet on his head?
