it's tuesday the 23rd of march. our top story. the prince of wales has called for the uk to "take a moment" today to remember those we have lost to covid — on what's being called a national day of reflection. it comes exactly a year to the day since the first lockdown began, marking the start of the biggest and longest national crisis since the second world war. 0ur political correspondent chris mason has been looking back. from this evening i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay at home. at present there are just no easy options. the way ahead is hard. and it is still true that many lives will, sadly, be lost. a year ago today, fewer than 1,000 people in the uk had died with coronavirus. the figure now stands at more than 126,000. few would have imagined the scale

of the loss of lives and liberties, the restrictions we'd still be facing 12 months on. this morning, on what is being called a national day of reflection, the prime minister says: he is not the only one who is thinking back over the yearjust gone. over the past year our country has been through a trial which has tested our resolve and our resilience in countless ways. we've all been inspired by the resourcefulness we've witnessed, humbled by the dedication shown by so many. and moved beyond words by the sacrifices we've seen.

the challenge, of course, is far from over. the scramble for vaccines, the colossal economic damage done, the new wave of cases confronting many of our nearest neighbours, the impact of which will wash up on our shores, as the prime minister put it. this morning, more than 50 mps and peers, along with the health unions, the british medical association and the royal college of nursing, are suggesting that this day every year should be known as covid memorial day, and a monument should be put up here on whitehall. chris mason, bbc news, westminster. we will be reflecting on that throughout the morning for you. anyone caught leaving the uk from england without a reasonable excuse could be fined £5,000 from next week. it's part of new covid laws which come into force on monday the 29th of march. 0ur reporter keith doyle joins

us now from heathrow. good morning. what do we know about this legislation so far? goad this legislation so far? good mornin: this legislation so far? good morning from _ this legislation so far? good morning from heathrow. - this legislation so far? (13mm morning from heathrow. relatively few flights leaving but surely there will be once leaving for paris, new york, chicago. but it will be illegal under law to leave without reasonable excuse was that there will be £5,000 fine for people who do so. also £2000 were not selling out —— filling out a declaration form. this is making it an explicit offence to leave without a valid reason. tightening the laws. this doesn't apply to the common travel, the isle of man, the channel islands, the republic of ireland. but it will close the loophole of people using dublin to travel

further. you can travel for work, study, move house, various health, family and safety reasons. newspapers this morning are screaming holidays are not allowed untiljune. it will be reviewed on the 12th of april and every 35 days after that, the 12th of april and every 35 days afterthat, in the 12th of april and every 35 days after that, in line with the government's road map out of covid restrictions. it could be lifted earlier but the government is getting everything in place so we can slam the brakes on an early summer getaway if necessary. thank ou. we summer getaway if necessary. thank yom we will — summer getaway if necessary. thank you. we will speak _ summer getaway if necessary. thank you. we will speak to _ summer getaway if necessary. thank you. we will speak to the _ summer getaway if necessary. thank you. we will speak to the health - you. we will speak to the health secretary at matt hancock about that and another dozen eco a number of other things later on. a gunman has killed ten people in a supermarket in the us state of colorado. the victims include a police officer who attended the shooting, in the city of boulder. david willis reports.

police were called to a grocery store where a man with a rifle had opened fire. as people were led to safety chilling video emerged. among the dead was local police officer eric talley, an 11—year veteran of the boulder police force. 0fficer eric talley arrived on the scene and was fatally shot. i want to commend the heroic actions of the officers responding not only from boulder pd but from across the county and other parts of this region. police officers' actions fell nothing short of being heroic. pictures from the scene showed a middle—aged man, shirtless and dressed in shorts, being led away from the grocery store in handcuffs. officials will not confirm if he was the gunman, nor will they comment on a possible motive. pulling onto broadway here. as swat team officers converged on the scene,

the white house said president biden had been briefed on the incident. last month on the third anniversary of a mass shooting in florida in which 17 people died, he called for background checks on anyone seeking to buya gun, and a ban on assault weapons. but this is the second mass shooting in this country in the space of a week, and it has already prompted calls for a new national conversation about gun violence. but the right to own a gun is enshrined in the constitution here, and those seeking a change in the law have had their attempts thwarted many times before. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, is facing further pressure about her handling of harassment allegations against her predecessor, alex salmond. yesterday an independent inquiry cleared her of breaching the ministerial code. a separate report by a cross—party committee of msps — which is published this morning — will accuse ms sturgeon of misleading its investigation.

nick eardley reports. i solemnly, sincerely and truly declare... for some time, nicola sturgeon had faced claims she hadn't been completely honest. her critics — including herformer mentor alex salmond — claimed she hadn't followed the rules ministers have to follow — the ministerial code. but last night, the man tasked with investigating that — the independent adviser on the court — concluded she hadn't broken the independent adviser on the code — concluded she hadn't broken the rules in four key areas. i have been very clear in my own mind that i acted appropriately and did not breach the ministerial code, but that — while that might be necessary, is not sufficient. it's important to the scottish people that they have independent verification and adjudication of that. and that, of course, is what they now have. first minister. i have no difficulty... the ruling is a big boost for nicola sturgeon — just before the scottish election campaign gets under way. but she'll face some criticism in a report to be published this morning from a committee of msps.

they say she misled them in her evidence, and have questioned parts of her account. the hamilton inquiry hasn't looked at a number of key areas, further potential breaches of the ministerial code. scottish conservatives believe nicola sturgeon has breached the ministerial code, she has not been truthful with parliament or the people of scotland that she cannot continue as first minister. nicola sturgeon will stay in herjob for now — the next big decision will be for voters in scotland, who go to the polls in six weeks' time. nick eardley, bbc news. sydney could be under threat from the floods which are devastating huge parts of eastern australia, according to the country's prime minister. scott morrison said a huge dam will continue to overflow for at least another week — putting western parts of the city at risk of deluge. 0ur australia correspondent shaimaa khalil is in windsor in new south wales.

meteorologists, isjust prime minister and the bureau of meteorologists, is just because the rain has subsided doesn't mean the danger is over. because of those high water levels forward danger is still quite present in these areas —— macro flood danger is quite present in these areas in new south wales. ., wales. you. some - wales. you. i some amazing wales. you. _ some amazing pictures, i'm? wales- you- _ some amazing pictures, i'm? we wales- you- — some amazing pictures, i'm? we will touch on that through the course of the programme this morning. we've had a lot of goat news recently. i have noticed that a lot, yeah. i don't know why! last week they were roaming in large numbers around the north wales town of llandudno. this week they're surfing in california. of course, what else would you do? this is pismo, who was filmed riding a large inflatable craftjust north of santa barbara. his owner says he has taught several goats to surf over the years — and uses them to help children overcome their fear of water. goat down! but he is totally fine.

we also find out later how many people have been claiming some form of unemployment benefit. injanuary, that was more than two and a half million people — more than twice as much as pre—pandemic. and it isn't easy. we spoke to emma, who stopped working in august and since then has been relying on universal credit and an affordable food service. i receive, i think it differs between 360 and 380 a month. so with that money, i have to pay my tv licence, my gas, my electric, my water bill, my internet, my phone, food shopping. and it does seem like a lot of money, but it's not. once all that's divided out, it really isn't. sometimes i have less than £20 a month to live off. and i think being out of work has... it's impacted majorly because you're stuck in the house, you can't go anywhere, you can't even really see your friends or you can't see relatives, which does... you know, you need that kind of support around you,

especially in times like this. so it is very, very hard. many more will be in emma's situation soon, and it is younger people and those from diverse backgrounds who appear to being hit hardest. but there are signs the the jobs market is more resilient than some people feared. wage growth appears to be picking up, and injanuary, there were 83,000 more people on company payrolls. annabelle was made redundant three times last year. but after a chance encounter with an employer, she's just landed a newjob in marketing. each time it's almost that sense of not only were we going into another lockdown down, but i was also facing another redundancy and anotherjust literally starting back at square one again. and it was just that feeling of, yeah, why me? how's this keep happening? i was just feeling very drained because each time you start a newjob,

obviously it's exciting, you have all your adrenaline giving. ijust about found my feet in each role and then another lockdown was announced and, unfortunately, that role went with it! when i was eventually offered a position which just turned out to be a dream opportunity and role for me, it's sort of a bit of a pinch me, pinch me moment, so i couldn't quite believe it was happening. good news for annabelle. but how many people will be so lucky? a better picture of the months untiljanuary coming. we will get more answers at 7.00 but — as we've been saying — the true picture will still not be obvious for quite a while. i'll have more on the breaking news later. back to you. we will see you then, thank you. 6:18am. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily mail reports the news that people leaving the uk without a "reasonable excuse"

will face fines of £5,000 from monday. the times focuses on the same story, as cases continue to rise in continental europe. it also has a picture of the bbc journalist clive myrie, who has been announced as the new host of mastermind. is looking very jaunty is looking veryjaunty isn't he? i now! it's not how we are used to seeing him. we'll be putting clive in the breakfast hot seat when he joins us at 8.30. i hope he is wearing a scarffor that interview. the mirror leads with borisjohnson's warning that the third wave of coronavirus spreading across europe could reach the uk. and the denver post, which is based in the us state of colorado, leads on that awful news of ten people being shot dead by a gunman who opened fire in a grocery store. his victims include a police officer. fast approaching 6:20am. here is a quote for you. "the way ahead is hard" — that was the warning from the prime minister when the uk went into its first lockdown exactly a year ago.

for some families that hardship meant the raw grief of losing a loved one. for other victims of covid, it was the long road to recovery, or the hunt for a newjob. there are so many stories from the last 12 months. breakfast�*s graham satchell has been hearing some of them. from this evening, i must give the british people a very simple instruction — you must stay at home. the first feeling i had was fear. the first thing you think as a single, self—employed parent is, "0h...no." they've all got all the masks on and all the ppe. - it's scary. it's very, very scary. the way ahead is hard, and it is still true that many

lives will sadly be lost. 0ur life will never be the same again. it will never be the same. not without kimberly. 0k, boys and girls, now your right leg. | so one week, i might be a dinosaur. anotherweek, it might be oriental garden. - so basically ijust used to get paid to play and be quite childlike - and...lots and lots of fun. bye—bye, boys and girls — bye—bye! a year ago, as lockdown started, nadine taylor made a decision that changed her life. she swapped herjob as a child entertainer to volunteer for stjohn's ambulance. half of you was obviously concerned and scared cos i had two— young children at home, - and then the other half was this overwhelming sort of feeling that i

you wanted to help and do your part and make a difference. nadine was deployed to tameside hospital in manchester to help doctors and nurses on the front line. and i always came home at the end of a shift and thought if, _ god forbid, if my parents - were in hospital, it'd be so nice to have somebody like stjohn or somebody like me, - you know, to sit and just chat and take time out for them. i it's a nice picture of... one of the happy days. she's amazing. sweet little thing. she was a mummy's girl. i used to phone her every morning, you know, text her before she went to bed. and even mother's day was terrible.

dave and sharon's daughter became ill in november. kim wasjust 29. popular and friendly, she was studying for a master's degree in criminology. she had everything going for her, you know, everything was going good for her, and... itjust goes to show, you know, how fickle life is, really. kim and her partner had planned to get married next year. as her condition worsened, hospital staff organised a wedding ceremony. we're all dressed up in protective gear, the extreme stuff with the rubber fittings and everything. it was like we wasn't there. yeah, it was... it wasn't happening. it's... yeah.

and it's not something you can explain, really, you know? it's the worst nightmare of anyone, really. this was the last time dave and sharon saw their daughter alive. kim died the next day. i got you, i got you! i just felt really tired. sore throat, bad cough. i was dead nervous and anxious because i didn't know what was happening. i didn't know what was wrong. injanuary, carrie—anne was rushed to hospital, struggling to breathe. she was heavily pregnant. i can't really remember nothing. i was drifting in and out of consciousness because i wasn't getting enough oxygen. ijust know they were taking me down to deliver my baby.

carrie—anne was taken to intensive care and put in an induced coma. herfamily didn't know if she would make it. applause. carrie—anne spent 41 days in icu — this the moment she finally left. her baby daughter storm was already at home. the first time carrie—anne saw her was on a group video call. the baby was at home. and i had seen her, like, overthe camera. it was like... it was surreal. it was... i was so happy but i wanted her with me, sort of, like, i wanted her in the hospital with me. carrie—anne finally met her daughter just a few weeks ago, the family now reunited. it'sjust been... it's been a terrible year all around. but i've got baby storm.

that's brightened the year up. rubbish start and then the ending was lovely. being home with me kids... and you're here. ..and i'm still here. bye, boys! bye! back in warrington, nadine is heading out for her latest volunteering role — she's part of the vaccination team at the etihad stadium in manchester. my life has completely changed, completely changed now. and i'm going to bejoining the nhs in accident and emergency. i've got a job out of it. so i reckon i'm coming out a better person at the end of the year because of it. definitely. one year on from the start of lockdown, this pandemic has changed lives forever.

lockdown, and communities are coming together for a national day of reflection. we spent time with medics at st george's hospital in tooting as they dealt with the unprecedented challenges thrown at them by the pandemic. and we've been back to speak to some of them to hear about their recollections of the past year. most of us have come out of it stronger at what we do. we've learnt new skills and we've appreciated each other more than ever. it was really strange being in hospital, seeing what was going on, and then walking out and seeing people going about their normal business, and knowing that they didn't really understand what was going on in there. and it was almost like two different worlds. and we'll have more on how london has coped over this last year on our 6.30 programme this evening. the musical the lion king is the latest production to announce its return to the west end. performances will resume at the lyceum theatre in covent garden on the 29th ofjuly.

into this afternoon. a pretty cloudy but generally dry affair, with temperatures at best largely low double figures. 0vernight tonight, we have still got belts of clouds moving their way towards us. through the day tomorrow, a weak weather front moving in. so we'll start tomorrow morning with an awful lot of cloud around. not quite as chilly a start as this morning. in the middle part of the day tomorrow, we are likely to see a splash of rain from the cloud. it clears up tomorrow night into thursday. thursday should be a drier day. we might even see a bit more in the way of sunshine on thursday. but you can see here the temperatures really fall away on friday. it will be windy and cool in feel before temperatures bounce back at the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.

it has not been the best art. we had defeat in the test matches as well. the t20 series. england's last run of matches before the squad returns home. and their captain is clearly relishing the chance to play in front of full stadiums again.. when you started talking about home crowds, i was getting goose bumps on my arms. it was brilliant. i can't wait. i really hope that all our fans and supporters get to see us during the summer. we've missed them a huge amount and sport hasn't been the same. it's not been easy for anybody involved. i think moving forward, obviously it will change and things will go back to normal. those pictures of them winning the world cup in front of fans seems a long time ago. scotland preparing for their postponed six nations match with france on friday, because of that covid outbreak in the french camp. head coach gregor townsend having to make some key decisions in selection. because the game's taking place outside the normal tournament window, he can only select five english—based players, so saracens' sean maitland misses out.

victory would see the scots finish second. france need to win by 21 points and score four tries to snatch the title from wales. how about this for a comeback from scarlets, who booked a place in europe's top competition — the champions cup. trailing connacht by 21 points at half time in their final game of the season, they scored 29 points after the break, tom rogers' try putting them right back in it, before closing it out 41—36. and results elsewhere means they can't be caught as they finish third in conference b. it's set to be an emotional weekend for the schumacher family. seven years since formula one legend michael schmacher had a skiing accident that left him with a devastating brain injury, he's not been seen in public since. but this weekend his 22—year—old son mick makes his f1 debut, after a stellar rise through the ranks. he'll be driving for the haas team when the new season begins in bahrain.

hedgehogs each year. he had some wounds under his armpits. we often see infection and nasty wounds, but we'll also see them with leg injuries. they may have got hit by cars and have broken limbs. and we'll fix those fractures if possible. and as the weather improves and we start gardening again, there's a plea to think about hedgehogs. numbers have been declining for years. the ones here are named after those who rescued them. here we have dave. and dave came to us a couple of weeks ago, with a really large wound from a strimmer injury, we think. so with the strimmers, lawnmowers, just be really careful before you tackle your overgrown garden, and just make sure you haven't got a hedgehog that's still hibernating or a hedgehog that's just sleeping there. hedgehogs face challenges on many fronts. some are difficult for individuals to influence, such as changes to the way agricultural land is farmed. but if you have a garden,

there are things you can do to help. this garden in surrey is very hedgehog friendly. its owner is one of the uk's 70,000 hedgehog champions. we've included hedgehog highways. one is next door that way, one through to that way. and they're just holes in the fences because they do travel a lot at night. we've got hedgehog houses. we leave out meaty cat and puppy food. definitely not milk or bread. they're lactose intolerant. thanks to some remote cameras, samantha's able to watch the hedgehogs each night. we tend to watch a lot more to video footage during the evening live, rather than the tv. being able to interact with hedgehogs in nature in this way, what impact does that have on you? i think it's given me a purpose. i'm housebound. i've got me. it enables me to really relax. it's just really fun to watch

and see what goes on. they do swim and they do seems quite like water. but it must make it safe so that they can get out. we put in a slab of wood, which we covered with chicken wire, so that gave grip so that they could climb out easily. hedgehog street is a campaign that was launched ten years ago to try and boost numbers. so we know that hedgehogs have declined by 50% in rural areas and 30% in urban areas since the millennium. so in rural areas, it's things like intensive agriculture, the use of pesticides. it's limiting the amount of shelter and food for them. in urban areas, there's more and more buildings, walls, barriers, roads, things like that. simple changes, though, seem to be working. there's a glimmer of hope in urban and suburban areas. we know that the decline in these areas is actually starting to slow down a little bit. you know, that's thanks to people making all these changes in their gardens, you know, all these small, simple changes that are going to make a really big difference for hedgehogs.

and was repeatedly punched in the stomach. she was treated in hospital for minor injuries. one year on from the uk's first lockdown and communities are coming together for a national day of reflection. we spent time with medics at st george's hospital in tooting as they dealt with the unprecedented challenges thrown at them by the pandemic. and we've been back to speak to some of them to hear about their recollections of the past year. most of us have come out of it stronger at what we do. we've learnt new skills and we've appreciated each other more than ever. it was really strange being in hospital, seeing what was going on, and then walking out and seeing people going about their normal business, and knowing that they didn't really understand what was going on in there. and it was — almost like two different worlds. and we'll have more on how london has coped over this last year on our 6.30 programme this evening. the musical the lion king

is the latest production to announce its return to the west end. performances will resume at the lyceum theatre in covent garden on the 29th ofjuly. the hit show has been staged there for over 20 years. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there are severe delays on the hammersmith & city line because of train cancellations. and on the 0verground, there are severe delays between stratford, clapham junction and richmond following a signalfailure. also some problems on tfl rail. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning. we had some lovely spring sunshine yesterday across london and the south—east. today, a different affair. quite a bit cloudier. but where we had clear spells overnight, still a pretty chilly start this morning, temperatures well down in low single figures.

but cloud is really the story of it, thickening up through this morning into this afternoon. a pretty cloudy but generally dry affair, with temperatures at best largely low double figures. 0vernight tonight, we have still got belts of clouds moving their way towards us. through the day tomorrow, a weak weather front moving in. so we'll start tomorrow morning with an awful lot of cloud around. not quite as chilly a start as this morning. in the middle part of the day tomorrow, we are likely to see a splash of rain from the cloud. it clears up tomorrow night into thursday. thursday should be a drier day. we might even see a bit more in the way of sunshine on thursday. but you can see here the temperatures really fall away on friday. it will be windy and cool in feel before temperatures bounce back at the weekend. that's it for now. plenty more on our website at the usual address. i'll be back in around half and hour. we will have a special programme at 6:30pm this evening.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. 0ur headlines today. exactly one year on from the first coronavirus lockdown, prince charles asks the nation to come together in a day of reflection. let us take a moment together to remember those who have been lost,

to give thanks for their lives. £5,000 fines could be issued to anyone heading abroad on holiday under new coronavirus laws due come into force in england next week. a police officer is among ten people killed in a mass shooting at a grocery store in the us state of colorado. what has a year of lockdown done to jobs? in the next few minutes we'll see how restrictions over a bleak midwinter affected employment. but — the furlough scheme is still masking what's next. will it be a winning finish for england in india? after losing the test series and the t20s, can eoin morgan's side sign off with victory in the one day series, the first match begins at 8am? mastermind theme. the bbcjournalist clive myrie takes over from john humphrys as the new host of mastermind. we'll put him through his paces before 9.00.

good his paces before 9.00. morning. i cloudy and bree day good morning. i cloudy and breezy day today with spots of rain in the north and west. a full forecast in about ten minutes. it's tuesday the 23rd of march. our top story. the prince of wales has called for the uk to "take a moment" today to remember those we have lost to covid — on what's being called a national day of reflection. it comes exactly a year to the day since the first lockdown began, marking the start of the biggest and longest national crisis since the second world war. 0ur political correspondent chris mason has been looking back. from this evening i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay at home. at present there are just no easy options. the way ahead is hard. and it is still true that many lives will, sadly, be lost. a year ago today, fewer than 1,000

people in the uk had died with coronavirus. the figure now stands at more than 126,000. few would have imagined the scale of the loss of lives and liberties, the restrictions we'd still be facing 12 months on. this morning, on what is being called a national day of reflection, the prime minister says: he is not the only one who is thinking back over the yearjust gone. over the past year our country has been through a trial which has tested our resolve and our resilience in countless ways.

we've all been inspired by the resourcefulness we've witnessed, humbled by the dedication shown by so many. and moved beyond words by the sacrifices we've seen. the challenge, of course, is far from over. the scramble for vaccines, the colossal economic damage done, the new wave of cases confronting many of our nearest neighbours, the impact of which will wash up on our shores, as the prime minister put it. this morning, more than 50 mps and peers, along with the health unions, the british medical association and the royal college of nursing, are suggesting that this day every year should be known as covid memorial day, and a monument should be put up here on whitehall. chris mason, bbc news, westminster. anyone caught leaving the uk

from england without a reasonable excuse could be fined £5,000 from next week. it's part of new covid laws which come into force on monday the 29th of march. 0ur reporter keith doyle joins us now from heathrow. what do we know so far about this new legislation?— what do we know so far about this new legislation? good morning from heathrow. relatively _ new legislation? good morning from heathrow. relatively few _ new legislation? good morning from heathrow. relatively few flights - heathrow. relatively few flights leaving here this morning but shortly there will be once leaving for amsterdam, shortly there will be once leaving foramsterdam, new shortly there will be once leaving for amsterdam, new york and chicago. from next monday, march 29, it will be illegal under english law leave the uk without a valid reason. you can get a fine of £5,000 if you do that. there is also fines of £200 for people who do not fill out those passenger information forms. it is already illegal to go on holiday but what this will do will make it an explicit offence to leave the country without a valid reason, so tightening the rules before any busy holiday season. this does not apply to common travel area, the isle of man, the channel islands and the

republic of ireland but they can't be used as stepping stones to go forward. that loophole of people going to dublin and flying out has been ruled out. there are exceptions. you can leave the country for work, study, moving house and the various safety reasons. the newspaper headlines are screaming that holidays are banned until the end ofjune. technically thatis until the end ofjune. technically that is right because the law stays in place until the 30th ofjune but will be reviewed on april 12 and every 35 days after that, in line with the government's road map. it could be lifted earlier but what the government is doing is putting everything in place so it can slam the brakes on any early summer getaway if they feel it is necessary. getaway if they feel it is necessary-— getaway if they feel it is necessa . , ., , necessary. keep, thank you very much. let's get more now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, whojoins us from westminster. good morning. as we mark one year since the uk went into the national lockdown, how concerned is the government about the threat of the third wave of the viruses morning? pretty worried because the way these

things have happened in the past is an increase in cases on the continent has then inevitably lead to an increase in cases in the uk. there are concerns that could happen again but what would be different this time is that a huge massive chunk of the adult population of britain has been vaccinated, so could any third or fourth wave, depending on what you want to call it comic be ever as bad as the first and second ones? the concern among scientists and government advisers is that there were people you have contracting covid, wherever they are, the uk where the continent, the increased chances of a mutation or a variation developing, that variation being much more dangerous, perhaps resistant to the vaccine, in a way that the existing variants like the one that developed in the uk were not. also that is why in the discussion about foreign travel pendulum is swinging awake now from the summer holidays as usual to a

lot more staycations because, as keith was saying, there is a big review on foreign travel on the 12th of april and certainly over the weekend, it felt like the mood in government has shifted from let's see how many holidays people can go on to, actually, should people really be going on holiday at all? i don't know if people were really focusing on that day when it is one year since lockdown. what will happen today i think it's a lot of people thinking back to what they have done through in the last year, thinking back to who they have lost, and looking at the death toll, currently at more than 126,000. thank you very much for that. we will reflect on some of those issues with the health secretary matt hancock in about 20 minutes. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, is facing further pressure about her handling of harassment allegations against her predecessor, alex salmond. yesterday an independent inquiry cleared her of breaching the ministerial code. a separate report by a cross—party committee of msps — which is published this morning — will accuse the first minister

of misleading its investigation. nick eardley reports. i solemnly, sincerely and truly declare... for some time, nicola sturgeon had faced claims she hadn't been completely honest. her critics — including herformer mentor alex salmond — claimed she hadn't followed the rules ministers have to follow — the ministerial code. but last night, the man tasked with investigating that — the independent adviser on the code — concluded she hadn't broken the rules in four key areas. i have been very clear in my own mind that i acted appropriately and did not breach the ministerial code, but that — while that might be necessary, is not sufficient. it's important to the scottish people that they have independent verification and adjudication of that. and that, of course, is what they now have. first minister. i have no difficulty... the ruling is a big boost for nicola sturgeon — just before the scottish election campaign gets under way. but she'll face some criticism in a report to be published this

morning from a committee of msps. they say she misled them in her evidence, and have questioned parts of her account. the hamilton inquiry hasn't looked at a number of key areas, further potential breaches of the ministerial code. scottish conservatives believe nicola sturgeon has breached the ministerial code, she has not been truthful with parliament or the people of scotland that she cannot continue as first minister. nicola sturgeon will stay in herjob for now — the next big decision will be for voters in scotland, who go to the polls in six weeks' time. nick eardley�*s in edinburgh with more on this story. nick, another tough day for nicola sturgeon ahead? good morning. in around one hour we will get that report from the committee, which is expected to be a lot more critical of the one we had yesterday from the independent adviser. i think that report we get

from the committee today will, for example, say that nicola sturgeon misled them in the evidence she gave over the last few weeks. it is more a broad ranging, so it's potentially will go into some areas that the report yesterday didn't. i think it will be a hard read for people in scottish government. that said, the one that really mattered was the one yesterday because the committee has become a bit of a political sideshow. there has been a lot of rows over the way things have been handled by the committee, the fact that some of the information leaked out early meant that nicola sturgeon was last week dismissing it as political and saying look at the other report instead and not what i think she basically got exactly what she wanted. she was cleared of all the accusations of breaking the ministerial code. i don't think there is any doubt now, if there ever was, that she will lead her party into the election in six weeks. . ., party into the election in six weeks. ., ,, , ., party into the election in six weeks. ., ~' , ., , party into the election in six weeks. ., ,, , .

as the period earlier, so not leaping dramatically, but we do also look every month at the number of people claiming benefits in some capacity. this is for the month of february, so slightly later. this went up to 2.7 million, up from 2.4 million injanuary and a big leap from 1.2 million about this time last year, so a big increase. looking at the numbers, we still have estimated about 6 million people on furlough, lots of businesses propped up by loans and things will likely start to get a bit worse before they get better. 0h, bit worse before they get better. oh, dear. thank you. get bit worse before they get better. oh, dear. thank you.— bit worse before they get better. oh, dear. thank you. get your breath back, nina. — oh, dear. thank you. get your breath back, nina. well— oh, dear. thank you. get your breath back, nina. well done, _ oh, dear. thank you. get your breath back, nina. well done, we _ oh, dear. thank you. get your breath back, nina. well done, we should - back, nina. well done, we should have timed _ back, nina. well done, we should have timed you. _ back, nina. well done, we should have timed you. please _ back, nina. well done, we should have timed you. please don't! - thousands have flocked to a volcano in iceland which has erupted near the capital, reykjavik. the eruption — its first in in more than 800 years

so, we asked three of our regular experts to tell us what they know now that they didn't know then. they're the experts who have guided breakfast viewers throughout the pandemic. we are joined by virologist dr chris smith and professor of public health, linda bauld. our regular gp, dr nighat arif. good morning to you. lovely to see you. thank you, as ever. good morning, thank you very much for spending a bit of time with us on the programme today. the prime minister announces the toughest restrictions on daily life in living memory. at present there are just no easy options. but what have they learned from the last year? i definitely had to keep in check my anxiety, my fears. my son has had a liver transplant. and he was in the shielded group. and that naturally, before before even i am a doctor, i am a mum. and i was really scared. i was petrified about what would will to him. i didn't want him to end up in hospital. it was obvious, a, this was going to be big, and b, it wasn't going to be over quickly,

because when we looked at what it was taken to control the outbreak in china, we knew that we were going to be in this for the long haul. people just working on the front line of dealing with health protection really stepped up. that is academics, people working in local government, in the nhs, who were focused on prevention, they've had to shift and really put all their effort behind the covid—19 response, working day and night. more than 100,000 dead from covid. the prime minister says he is deeply sorry for every life lost. no—one expected something with such a broad scale, that at one end of that scale it could kill people and it does, and end of the scale, cause no symptoms at all. coming into surgery on a daily basis and sometimes being told three patients had passed away off your list, dr arif, or five patients had been passed away off your list, that was a reality that i was dealing with. and that definitely took its toll. with multiple changes, lockdowns,

restrictions easing, confusing public health message back into restrictions, major disruption to everybody�*s lives, but yet if you look at the survey data, the vast majority of people across the uk have tried to comply with all of these changes and just tried to cope. the first doses of the coronavirus vaccine could arrive in britain within hours after the uk became the first to approve the jab developed by pfizer and biontech. some green shoots of recovery began to come when we went past the 15 million vaccination mark. these vaccines are working and not just stopping people getting severely unwell, but they are actually working in stopping people from catching infections. to be able to vaccinate 24 million people by the time that i'm recording this with you, oh, my god, it'sjust phenomenal, it's absolutely phenomenal. i think we are now looking at ways

we are going to get on top of this. thanks to the vaccines that are coming in and a better understanding of how the virus operates. we are a very resilient nation i and we need to remember that when we face crises in the future. some of the lessons they are to be learned. ., ., ., , , learned. three of our regular guests and we will — learned. three of our regular guests and we will continue _ learned. three of our regular guests and we will continue to _ learned. three of our regular guests and we will continue to speak i learned. three of our regular guests and we will continue to speak to i and we will continue to speak to them and i'm sure you appreciate the chat we have with the gp every morning. chat we have with the gp every morninu. , �* ., i. morning. cell use. below you can throw whatever _ morning. cell use. below you can throw whatever is _ morning. cell use. below you can throw whatever is on _ morning. cell use. below you can throw whatever is on the - morning. cell use. below you can throw whatever is on the news, l throw whatever is on the news, whatever is happening overnight, the latest stories and you get someone with a medical brain to try to dissect that. that has been a lifeline for viewers. brute dissect that. that has been a lifeline for viewers.— dissect that. that has been a lifeline for viewers. we are so crateful lifeline for viewers. we are so grateful to — lifeline for viewers. we are so grateful to all _ lifeline for viewers. we are so grateful to all of _ lifeline for viewers. we are so grateful to all of our - lifeline for viewers. we are so grateful to all of our experts l lifeline for viewers. we are so i grateful to all of our experts for all of their advice. there is one story at dominating all front pages. let's look. the daily mail reports the news that people leaving the uk without a "reasonable excuse" will face fines of £5,000 from monday. the times focuses on the same story, as cases continue to rise in continental europe. it also has a picture of the bbc

journalist clive myrie, who has been announced as the new host of mastermind. we'll be putting clive in the breakfast hotseat when he joins us at 8.30. the mirror leads with borisjohnson's warning that the third wave of coronavirus spreading across europe could reach the uk. and the denver post — which is based in the us state of colorado — leads on that awful news of 10 people being shot dead by a gunman who opened fire in a grocery store. his victims include a police officer. i want to bring you a couple of stories from inside the newspapers. they are not related to coronavirus. this is the one that caught my eye in the daily mail. tom daley, pretty talented chap, more talented than we knew because he has made this, so he has crocheted a gucci dress for one of his friends. if you bought it from gucci it was £1750. he made

it was really strange being in hospital, seeing what was going on, and then walking out and seeing people going about their normal business, and knowing that they didn't really understand what was going on in there. and it was almost like two different worlds. the musical the lion king is the latest production to announce its return to the west end. performances will resume at the lyceum theatre in covent garden on the 29th ofjuly. the hit show has been staged there for over 20 years. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there are severe delays on the hammersmith and city line. 0n the 0verground, there are severe delays between stratford, clapham junction and richmond following a signal failure. and there also severe delays on tfl rail between liverpool street and shenfield after a signal failure. 0n the trains, southern services aren't stopping between selhurst and streatham following a points failure. 0n the roads, the a13 is slow coming into town just before the beckton roundabout after a breakdown earlier.

0n balham high road, there are temporary lights by balham station — that's for water main repairs. in highbury, holloway road has temporary lights by highbury corner magistrates court for road repairs. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning. we had some lovely spring sunshine yesterday across london and the south—east. today, a different affair. quite a bit cloudier. but where we had clear spells overnight, still a pretty chilly start this morning, temperatures well down in low single figures. but cloud is really the story of it, thickening up through this morning into this afternoon. a pretty cloudy but generally dry affair, with temperatures at best largely low double figures. 0vernight tonight, we have still got belts of clouds moving their way towards us. through the day tomorrow, a weak weather front moving in. so we'll start tomorrow morning with an awful lot of cloud around. not quite as chilly a start as this morning. in the middle part of the day tomorrow, we are likely to see a splash of rain from the cloud.

it clears up tomorrow night into thursday. thursday should be a drier day. we might even see a bit more in the way of sunshine on thursday. but you can see here the temperatures really fall away on friday. it will be windy and cool in feel before temperatures bounce back at the weekend. just before we go, if you head over to the bbc london website, londoners have been telling us in their own words how the last 12 months has affected them. that's it for now. i'll be back in around an hour. now though, it's back to breakfast with sally and dan. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker.

it is 7:32am. today marks a year to the day since the prime minister gave us the unprecedented order to stay at home. now, 12 months on and after more than 125,000 deaths, questions remain about the way in which the government has managed the pandemic. let's put some of them to the health secretary, matt hancock. good morning, thank you for being with us. we will look back at the last year and we will talk at length about that, i hope. iwanted last year and we will talk at length about that, i hope. i wanted to bring it right up to the here and now, if that is ok. 0ur viewers will have heard the prime minister talk about the third wave washing up on our shores from yesterday. can you run us through the extra precautions you might be considering taking, might be taking, are looking at, to try and stop that from happening? well, thanks, dan. we have put

some care homes have asked for us to change the law so that they can require their staff to be vaccinated because of this duty of care, so absolutely we are looking at that request. exactly one year on from the first coronavirus lockdown, prince charles asks the nation to come together in a day of reflection. another test for nicola sturgeon. a report by msps will accuse the first minister of misleading their investigation when it's published in the next few minutes. unemployment plateaus at 5%. but today's figures show a jump in the number of people claiming benefits. two thirds of those who've lostjobs in the past year are under 25. i'll have the details. will it be a winning finish for england in india? they win the toss and bowl first — looking to sign off their tour with victory in the one—dayers, after losing the test and t20 series. mastermind theme.

the bbcjournalist clive myrie takes over from john humphrys as the new host of mastermind. in the next hour we'll put him through his paces. good morning. it is cloudy yet today, breezy at in recent days with a bit of light rain in the north and west but i will bring you a full forecast in about ten minutes. it's tuesday the 23rd of march. our top story. in the last half hour, the health secretary has told us the government is considering making covid vaccines mandatory for staff in care homes for the elderly in england. matt hancock said the idea is being carefully looked at following requests from the care home sector. let's get more now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, whojoins us from westminster. adam, this could be a controversial policy to impose, couldn't it? up up until now the government has

relied on appealing to people's hearts, if you like, to get the vaccine if they like in the care sector. chris whitty the chief medical officer and his deputy jonathan van—tam saying if you work in health and social care you should really get the vaccine, it is the right thing to do. it looks like the government is now looking at actually making it the law that people have to get the vaccine. matt hancock the health secretary confirmed that, it is something they are looking at for health and social care workers, on this very programme. he sounds like somebody who has lots of reasons why it should go ahead. it who has lots of reasons why it should go ahead.— who has lots of reasons why it should go ahead. it is important because those _ should go ahead. it is important because those who _ should go ahead. it is important because those who look - should go ahead. it is important because those who look after i should go ahead. it is important - because those who look after people in care _ because those who look after people in care homes have a duty of care towards _ in care homes have a duty of care towards them and not every resident in a care _ towards them and not every resident in a care home can be vaccinated. some _ in a care home can be vaccinated. some care — in a care home can be vaccinated. some care homes have asked for us to change _ some care homes have asked for us to change the _ some care homes have asked for us to change the law so that they can require — change the law so that they can require their staff to be vaccinated because _ require their staff to be vaccinated because of— require their staff to be vaccinated because of this duty of care, so absolutely— because of this duty of care, so absolutely we are looking at that request — absolutely we are looking at that request but i would just stress that

no final— request but i would just stress that no final decisions have been taken. the view— no final decisions have been taken. the view from labour is that you are better to encourage people to take the vaccine rather than forcing certain professions to have to take it. as rachel reeves the shadow cabinet officer explained. i worry that coercion _ cabinet officer explained. i worry that coercion make _ cabinet officer explained. i worry that coercion make me _ cabinet officer explained. i worry that coercion make me do - cabinet officer explained. i worry that coercion make me do more | cabinet officer explained. i worry - that coercion make me do more harm than good _ that coercion make me do more harm than good. people feel they are being _ than good. people feel they are being forced to do something it starts _ being forced to do something it starts to— being forced to do something it starts to raise doubts in their mind about— starts to raise doubts in their mind about whether it is right. let's improve — about whether it is right. let's improve the information available to people. _ improve the information available to people, step up the campaign is to .et people, step up the campaign is to get people vaccinated. but i worry it might _ get people vaccinated. but i worry it might undermine trust and undermine all the good being done in terms _ undermine all the good being done in terms of— undermine all the good being done in terms of rolling out the back see if we make _ terms of rolling out the back see if we make it — terms of rolling out the back see if we make it compulsory. find we make it compulsory. and government _ we make it compulsory. and government resources - we make it compulsory. jilic government resources this we make it compulsory. elic government resources this morning are stressing that no final decision has been made and just to make it really clear this would be about certain people working in the care industry, not when the general population, for all of us. thank you very much- — a minute's silence will be held

at noon to remember more than 126,000 people who've died in the uk after contracting coronavirus. the day of reflection is to mark 12 months since the uk was put into lockdown. the prime minister borisjohnson described the last year as "one of the most difficult in our country's history", while prince charles said he was humbled by the dedication shown by so many. we are emerging from this time with a renewed confidence in one another and with strength and faith our society — richly diverse in its many communities and cultures but united in its commitment to the common good and the welfare of others, particularly those most vulnerable. as we do so, it is right that we pause to remember those whose lives have been so tragically cut short. anyone caught leaving the uk from england without a reasonable excuse could be fined £5,000 from next week. it's part of new covid

laws which come into force on monday. the travel ban does not apply to the channel islands, isle of man or the republic of ireland. valid reasons to travel abroad include visiting a dying relative or attending a funeral. a gunman has killed ten people in a supermarket in the us state of colorado. the victims include a police officer who attended the shooting, in the city of boulder. david willis reports. early afternoon in a residential area of boulder, colorado, and police are called to a local grocery store where a man with a rifle had opened fire. as people were led to safety, chilling video emerged of victims lying wounded, both inside and outside the store. among the dead was local police officer eric talley, an ii—year veteran of the boulder police force. officer eric talley arrived on the scene, was the first on the scene, and was fatally shot. i also want to commend the heroic actions of the officers responding not only

from boulder pd but from across the county and other parts of this region. police officers' actions fell nothing short of being heroic. pictures from the scene showed a middle—aged man, shirtless and dressed in shorts, being led away from the grocery store in handcuffs. officials won't confirm he was the gunman, nor will they comment on a possible motive. pulling onto broadway here. as swat team officers converged on the scene, the white house said president biden had been briefed on the incident. last month on the third anniversary of a mass shooting in florida in which 17 people died, he called for background checks on anyone seeking to buya gun, and a ban on assault weapons. but this is the second mass shooting in this country in the space of a week, and it has already prompted calls for a new national conversation about gun violence. but the right to own a gun is

enshrined in the constitution here, and those seeking a change in the law have had their attempts thwarted many times before. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, is facing further pressure about her handling of harassment allegations against her predecessor, alex salmond. yesterday an independent inquiry cleared her of breaching the ministerial code. a separate report by a cross—party committee of msps has just been published. nick eardley�*s in edinburgh for us. good morning. good morning. in the last few minutes. _ good morning. good morning. in the last few minutes. it _ good morning. good morning. in the last few minutes. it is _ good morning. good morning. in the last few minutes. it is quite - good morning. good morning. in the last few minutes. it is quite long - last few minutes. it is quite long so i am working my way through it but a couple of things to fly. we know that the committee is concerned about some of the evidence nicola sturgeon gave. it says in this report that has just been published that it report that has just been published thatitis report that has just been published that it is hard to believe she didn't know about any concerns about

inappropriate behaviour by alex salmond prior to november 2017, that is when she said she first found out about it. they are also saying that some of the evidence she gave the committee, they believe that she misled them. that is quite important because they say that could be a potential breach of the ministerial code so this is going to be quite a critical report for the first minister. the one yesterday, which is from her independent adviser on the ministerial code, is the one she is going to focus on a lot more, to say, look, i got an independent person to look at this and it completely cleared me of breaking the ministerial code. you looked at four key allegations and decided that ms sturgeon had not breached the rules that ministers have to follow. the committee is a bit more political and there has been more of a row about the way that its business has been conducted, particularly the fact there has been a lot of breathing going on and a lot of leaks coming out of it. i expect what you nicola sturgeon in

response to the committee today is that it response to the committee today is thatitis response to the committee today is that it is a more political or partisan report. that said, there is bound to be a political debate on it and they will be a confidence vote on the first minister in parliament this afternoon. she will win it because she has the backing of the green party but it sets up a fractious election campaign over the next six weeks. . fractious election campaign over the next six weeks-— next six weeks. , thank you very much. you are watching breakfast, it is eight to 10am. time to look at the weather with sarah.— eight to 10am. time to look at the weather with sarah. good morning. the ast weather with sarah. good morning. the past few _ weather with sarah. good morning. the past few days _ weather with sarah. good morning. the past few days have _ weather with sarah. good morning. the past few days have brought - weather with sarah. good morning. the past few days have brought a i the past few days have brought a fair bit of spring sunshine but today a bit of a change. more cloud building it. winds will pick up so turning breezy through the day and there will be a few showers around, mainly to the north and west. drier conditions holding off on the south and east because we are closer to an area of high pressure here but this different approaching from the atlantic will bring thick clouds and

later on today a bit more persistent rain for a later on today a bit more persistent rainfora time. later on today a bit more persistent rain for a time. through much of today the rain fairly light and patchy around coasts and hills in the north and west. eastern scotland, eastern england you should remain largely dry every day, maybe a bit of sunshine at times particularly east anglia and savvy. temperatures of 30 degrees but typically looking around nine to 12 for most of us. into the afternoon, this is 5pm, the winds will start to become more noticeable so gusts of about 20 to 30 mph across the bulk of england and wales. actually no higher ground in wales, look to cumbria. parts of northern and western scotland, heavier rain later this afternoon and gusts reaching 55 or even 60 mph towards the western isles. adding to the evening hours, that breeze is driving the cloud and rain away from scotland and northern ireland, sitting across england and wales through tonight. not particularly cold underneath the cloud but under the clearest skies towards the north it could be quite

"the way ahead is hard." that was the warning from the prime minister when the uk went into its first lockdown exactly a year ago. what year it has been. for some families that hardship meant the raw grief of losing a loved one. for other victims of covid, it was the long road to recovery, or the hunt for a newjob. there are so many stories from the last 12 months. breakfast�*s graham satchell has been hearing some of them.

from this evening, i must give the british people a very simple instruction — you must stay at home. the first feeling i had was fear. the first thing you think as a single, self—employed parent is, "0h...no." they've all got all the masks on and all the ppe. - it's scary. it's very, very scary. the way ahead is hard, and it is still true that many lives will sadly be lost. our life will never be the same again. it will never be the same. not without kimberly. ok, boys and girls, now your right leg. | so one week, i might be a dinosaur.

anotherweek, it might be oriental garden. - so basically ijust used to get paid to play and be quite childlike - and...lots and lots of fun. bye—bye, boys and girls — bye—bye! a year ago, as lockdown started, nadine taylor made a decision that changed her life. she swapped herjob as a child entertainer to volunteer for stjohn's ambulance. half of you was obviously concerned and scared cos i had two— young children at home, - and then the other half was this overwhelming sort of feeling that i you wanted to help and do your part and make a difference. nadine was deployed to tameside hospital in manchester to help doctors and nurses on the front line. and i always came home at the end of a shift and thought if, _ god forbid, if my parents - were in hospital, it'd be so nice to have somebody like stjohn or somebody like me, - you know, to sit and just chat and take time out for them. i

it's a nice picture of her. one of the happy days. she's amazing. sweet little thing. she was a mummy's girl. i used to phone her every morning, you know, text her before she went to bed. and even mother's day was terrible. dave and sharon's daughter became ill in november. kim wasjust 29. popular and friendly, she was studying for a master's degree in criminology. she had everything going for her, you know, everything was going good for her, and...

itjust goes to show, you know, how fickle life is, really. kim and her partner had planned to get married next year. as her condition worsened, hospital staff organised a wedding ceremony. we're all dressed up in protective gear, the extreme stuff with the rubber fittings and everything. it was like we wasn't there. yeah, it was... it wasn't happening. it's... yeah. and it's not something you can explain, really, you know? it's the worst nightmare of anyone, really. this was the last time dave and sharon saw their daughter alive. kim died the next day. i got you, i got you! i just felt really tired.

sore throat, bad cough. i was dead nervous and anxious because i didn't know what was happening. i didn't know what was wrong. injanuary, carrie—anne was rushed to hospital, struggling to breathe. she was heavily pregnant. i can't really remember nothing. i was drifting in and out of consciousness because i wasn't getting enough oxygen. ijust know they were taking me down to deliver my baby. carrie—anne was taken to intensive care and put in an induced coma. herfamily didn't know if she would make it. applause. carrie—anne spent ai days in icu — this the moment she finally left.

her baby daughter storm was already at home. the first time carrie—anne saw her was on a group video call. the baby was at home. and i had seen her, like, overthe camera. it was like... it was surreal. it was... i was so happy but i wanted her with me, sort of, like, i wanted her in the hospital with me. carrie—anne finally met her daughter just a few weeks ago, the family now reunited. it'sjust been... it's been a terrible year all around. but i've got baby storm. that's brightened the year up. rubbish start and then the ending was lovely. being home with me kids... and you're here. ..and i'm still here. bye, boys! bye! back in warrington, nadine is heading out for her latest volunteering role —

she's part of the vaccination team at the etihad stadium in manchester. my life has completely changed, completely changed now. and i'm going to bejoining the nhs in accident and emergency. i've got a job out of it. so i reckon i'm coming out a better person at the end of the year because of it. definitely. one year on from the start of lockdown, this pandemic has changed lives forever. since the pandemic began we've got to know many of the government scientists and medical advisers who have helped to shape the response. one of them is scotland's national clinical director, professorjason leitch, who joins us now.

i don't know whether you are able to hear some of the peace we have just been running. an incredible report talking to families who have been affected, people who have lost loved ones. i want to know at this point, what is your reflection, what i the lessons you have learnt over the last year? i lessons you have learnt over the last ear? ~ . lessons you have learnt over the last ear? ,, , . lessons you have learnt over the last year?— lessons you have learnt over the last year? i think it is a day does make a good _ last year? i think it is a day does make a good one, _ last year? i think it is a day does make a good one, though. - last year? i think it is a day does make a good one, though. i - last year? i think it is a day does| make a good one, though. i think last year? i think it is a day does i make a good one, though. i think it is a day for it that reflection. i couldn't see your piece but i could hear it and it moved through the stories of the 125,000 people we have lost because of this vicious hurried virus, and on to those who have got the disease and survived and that is not a straightforward process for many, many people. even their businesses orjobs or families are affected in some way, completely unpredictably from ia months ago. we would never have believed we would be at this point. other stories of resilience and people doing home—schooling and people helping their neighbours and serving curries

to all of the elderly people around where they live. the country has at some level come together but underneath that is this underlying grief and horror that a pandemic causes, notjust here but around the world. causes, not 'ust here but around the world. , , . , . world. century. in the year since lockdown l _ world. century. in the year since lockdown i know _ world. century. in the year since lockdown i know your _ world. century. in the year since lockdown i know yourjob - world. century. in the year since lockdown i know yourjob is - world. century. in the year since lockdown i know yourjob is to i world. century. in the year since - lockdown i know yourjob is to guide and advise people. looking back now is there anything you look at and think you would have said something differently or done something different? �* . differently or done something different? . , ~ , differently or done something different? . ~ , different? always. almost every day i have different? always. almost every day l have done — different? always. almost every day l have done so _ different? always. almost every day i have done so many _ different? always. almost every day i have done so many media - different? always. almost every day i i have done so many media interviews and stakeholder group interviews, the invisible part of the communications to speak to school pupils and teachers or to business leaders by faith leaders about how they can help us stay safe. i think there are things we could have perhaps emphasised in a different way. for example we didn't know the huge range this virus would give of disease. we knew at the top end, the

stuff we have talked about, but we didn't fully understand because we couldn't at the beginning the number of people who have this disease a symptomatically and therefore spread it and gave it to other people during those early times in particular. or testing. the tests had just been made, you need to make the chemicals, the plastic, all of those things we were able to get in place. and now we have one of the best assistants in the world. —— map of the best test systems. we could have reacted more strongly around travel last summer. all of the health care advisor now think that importation of new cases, if we could have got on top of that a little earlier it might have helped. that is easy for me to say it now. if you had asked me injune we were working on the science we have at the time. . . w' working on the science we have at the time. , , a , ., . the time. lets pick up on that. here we are in march _ the time. lets pick up on that. here we are in march and _ the time. lets pick up on that. here we are in march and the _ the time. lets pick up on that. here we are in march and the prime - we are in march and the prime minister won yesterday that the third wave that parts of europe are

experiencing is sure to wash up on our shores. what if your take on that and what is your advice about things like travel, people leaving this island and entering this island we have to be so careful. about 5000 cases per dayjust now in the uk tested positive. that hides probably tens of thousands of actual cases in the asymptomatic group. one of the things as you come out is don't import new cases. i would add onto that to exploit cases. europe is now struggling with the kent variant as it sweeps across france, germany, belgium, austria. all on the upward slope of the way we are on the downward slope of, fortunately. to downward slope of, fortunately. trr keep that we need to make sure not to bring new virus it. the variants

incidents. everything is about the incidence of the cases, which means following the guidance. guidance relaxes, which is a good thing for four countries, we have to still keep it pressed down. i have not booked a summer overseas holiday, and if i was booking one i would book a refundable one. i certainly would not lose any money on it. that is really high. i don't own an airline or a business or a self catering cottage in france so it is easy for me to say. i completely understand businesses are struggling with advice, we have to support them as best we can, but we have to not have a third wave if we can avoid it. �* , . ~ . have a third wave if we can avoid it. 2 . , have a third wave if we can avoid it. let's talk a bit about what we have heard _ it. let's talk a bit about what we have heard from _ it. let's talk a bit about what we have heard from matt _ it. let's talk a bit about what we have heard from matt hancock. it. let's talk a bit about what we i have heard from matt hancock this morning. we spoke to labour and the government about the possibility of care home workers having been vaccinated in order to continue to do theirjob. what are your thoughts on that? it do their “ob. what are your thoughts on that? . . do their “ob. what are your thoughts on that? , . , . ., on that? it is a difficult one, actually- _ on that? it is a difficult one, actually- i — on that? it is a difficult one, actually. i know _ on that? it is a difficult one, actually. i know it _ on that? it is a difficult one, actually. i know it has - on that? it is a difficult one, actually. i know it has come|

in just over 10 minutes. john humphrys said he would be a fool to tinker with the format of the programme. be interesting to see if clive has plans. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. one year on from the uk's first lockdown and communities are coming together for a national day of reflection. a minute's silence will be observed at noon today to remember those who died and to pay tribute to the many front line workers. medics at st george's hospital in tooting were among those who dealt with the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic. they've been sharing their recollections of the last year. most of us have come out of it stronger at what we do. we've learnt new skills and we've appreciated each

other more than ever. it was really strange being in hospital, seeing what was going on, and then walking out and seeing people going about their normal business, and knowing that they didn't really understand what was going on in there. and it was almost like two different worlds. and we'll have more on how london has coped over the last 12 months on our 6.30 programme this evening. the musical the lion king is the latest production to announce its return to the west end. theatres can reopen without social distancing from june 21st. performances will resume at the lyceum theatre in covent garden on the 29th ofjuly. the lion king has been staged there for over 20 years. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there are severe delays on the hammersmith and city line and minor delays on the circle line. on the 0verground, there are severe delays between stratford, clapham junction and richmond following a signal failure. on the trains, southern services

are delayed through selhurst following a points failure earlier on. in central london, victoria embankment is part blocked after a manhole collapsed near embankment station. traffic is coping well for now. and in chiswick, there are temporary lights affecting all approachs to the hogarth roundabout. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning. we had some lovely spring sunshine yesterday across london and the south—east. today, a different affair. quite a bit cloudier. but where we had clear spells overnight, still a pretty chilly start this morning, temperatures well down in low single figures. but cloud is really the story of it, thickening up through this morning into this afternoon. a pretty cloudy but generally dry affair, with temperatures at best largely low double figures. overnight tonight, we have still got belts of clouds moving their way towards us. through the day tomorrow, a weak weather front moving in. so we'll start tomorrow morning with an awful lot of cloud around.

not quite as chilly a start as this morning. in the middle part of the day tomorrow, we are likely to see a splash of rain from the cloud. it clears up tomorrow night into thursday. thursday should be a drier day. we might even see a bit more in the way of sunshine on thursday. but you can see here the temperatures really fall away on friday. it will be windy and cool in feel before temperatures bounce back at the weekend. just before we go, if you head over to the bbc london website, londoners have been telling us in their own words how the last 12 months has affected them. do have a look. that's it for now. i'll be backjust after nine. now though it's back to breakfast. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. morning live is on bbc one at 9.15. let's find out what's on today's programme with oti and gethin. morning. morning. coming up on
