are still spaces. she hopes the bookings will now come. i think people have been literally locked into their homes, and theyjust want to get out, and they just want the freedom of walking and just breathing in the fresh air and see the sea. for now, it's only welsh visitors who can come and enjoy the scenery. tourism trips across the border aren't allowed with people in england being told to stay local over the easter holidays. along the coast at porthcawl, they still expect to be busy. some of the residents are anxious about crowds coming. very nervous. it happened last year. we couldn't even walk along the prom, there were so many people. whilst i understand people wanting to come out, it's daunting if you live here as well. the welsh government has called on people to be cautious as they take this next small step towards freedom. hywel griffith, bbc news. vaccine passports may only be introduced once all adults

have been offered a jab, according to the prime minister. borisjohnson says no decisions have been made on the scheme, which would require people to prove they've been vaccinated before visiting pubs and other venues, but promised an update next month. many business owners have cast doubt on the idea, saying it would be difficult to implement. the european commission president ursula von der leyen has said astrazeneca must catch up with vaccine deliveries to the european union — before exporting doses to other countries, including the uk. the warning came after eu leaders met to discuss vaccine supplies. they blame astrazeneca for delays to the rollout of the jab across europe, saying the company failed to deliver promised doses. jon donnison reports. with much of europe battling a third wave of the virus, no eu leader wants to appear weak on ensuring the eu receives its fair share of

vaccines. last night the president of the european commission said the eu had exported 21 million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine to the uk in the astrazeneca vaccine to the uk in the last four months are nothing had come back in the other direction. n come back in the other direction. 1 think it is clear for the company that first of all the company has to catch up and has to honour the contract it has with european member states before it can engage again in exporting vaccines.— states before it can engage again in exporting vaccines. while the threat of an exp°ft — exporting vaccines. while the threat of an exp°ft ban _ exporting vaccines. while the threat of an export ban on _ exporting vaccines. while the threat of an export ban on vaccines - exporting vaccines. while the threat of an export ban on vaccines is - of an export ban on vaccines is there, many eu countries are still reluctant to enforce it in practice. a statement issued after a marathon video conference call between the 27 eu leaders stopped short of explicitly backing the commission's corbel export restrictions. france's president emmanuel macron says he backs export controls. german

chancellor angela merkel warned it was important to protect german supply chains, a concern shared by the leader of the netherlands, belgium and ireland. as covid—19 cases continue to rise across the continent, concerns over vaccine supply are unlikely to end here. lorry drivers arriving in england may be required to take a covid test, if they're coming from mainland europe. drivers had previously been exempt from testing. but a haulage industry source has told the bbc that the government has warned them to prepare for the change. the department for transport says it is "carefully monitoring" an increase in cases in europe and would keep all measures under review. the stranded container ship blocking the suez canal could be stuck for weeks, despite efforts to free the vessel. the ever given has been stranded since tuesday, after being blown off course by strong winds. it is holding up around £7 billion worth of goods each day

and causing huge tailbacks of other ships trying to pass through the waterway. a teacher at a school in west yorkshire has been suspended after showing a class a cartoon of the prophet muhammad. parents protested outside batley grammar school yesterday after the picture was shown during a lesson. the head teacher has since apologised. the government has said it was never acceptable to "intimidate" teachers. shabnam mahmood reports. videos posted online show an angry protest outside a school in batley. parents calling for the sacking of a teacher, who used an image of the prophet muhammad during a school lesson. the teacher in question had been suspended, pending an independent formal investigation. the school unequivocally apologises for using a totally inappropriate image in a recent religious studies lesson. it should not have been used.

the member of staff has also relayed their most sincere apologies. showing the image has offended the muslim community. batley grammar school is in a town with a high number of asian families. according to a 2015 ofsted report, three quarters of its pupils come from ethnic minorities. people i've spoken to outside the school say they're shocked by what's happened. overall it's offensive, whether it was, like i said, a family member, a friend, a teacher, it's offensive. the issue has been raised and flagged and dealt with. it should be laid to bed now. the department for education has issued a statement, urging parents not to protest and said... they said...

they must balance this with the need to promote respect and tolerance between people of different faiths and beliefs. community leaders here say, although they are hurt by what happened, they will continue to work closely to resolve the issue. shabnam mahmood, bbc news, batley. china has imposed sanctions on nine uk citizens — including five mps and two peers — for spreading what it called "lies and disinformation" about the country. it comes in retalliation for measures taken by the uk government on monday over human rights abuses against the uighur muslim minority group. the former conservative party leader sir iain duncan smith is one of those facing sanctions. scientists in brazil have published new research, suggesting octopuses might have the ability to dream.

it's believed the aquatic creatures experience different types of sleep — one of them similar to the rapid eye movement — or rem sleep that we undergo when we dream. it's further proof octopuses are one of the most intelligent creatures on earth. tim allman reports. eight legs, three hearts, one impossible dream. marshmallow the octopus, quietly snoozing away in her tank. but look at this, she's suddenly changing colour, her muscles twitching, her muscles contracting. researchers believe marshmallow may be dreaming. # dream, dream, dream... a team of scientists at a university in the west of brazil recorded four octopuses over several days. their sleep pattern went through cycles. during quiet sleep, they remained still, then during active sleep they moved around. similar to humans when we dream. a period of neural activity that can boost health and cognition. they look so strange, so different,

they seem almost alien. but it's thought octopuses have the most complex brains of any invertebrates. perhaps the most famous of them all was paul, the eight—legged soothsayer, who had an uncanny, albeit not perfect record of picking winning teams at the 2006 world cup. then there's 0ctavia, the octopus from devon, who could solve puzzles that would help her obtain food. the researchers have speculated this octopus, asleep but displaying the colours sometimes seen during courtship, may be thinking of romance. a beautiful dreamer indeed. tim allman, bbc news. i have got some octopus bats. we had a discussion about whether it is

octopi or octopuses but octopi is acceptable. they have three hearts nine brains. in addition to the central brain, each arm has many brain, so it allows each arm to act independently. there you go. ifind it rather calming watching octopus sleep, or dreaming, orwhatever is going inside its own multi—brand head. now the weather with matt. a promising start behind me in sheffield. it will not stay that way. all of us can expect some rain. there will be big building clouds producing lightning and hail. at the moment we had bans are pretty heavy rain in the west pushing eastwards. a few showers in the south and east. the band of rain will go through the

afternoon. still raining quite heavily by four o'clock this afternoon. part of kent, towards norfolk and, then sunshine by heavy thundery showers. temperatures will drop this afternoon. showers containing hail could turn wintry over the hills. they will rattle through quite quickly. some of the strongest winds with the initial burst of heavy rain earlier on. temperatures will drop relative to what we have at the moment, particularly across some parts of eastern england. a chilly day, a day for the waterproofs we showers. an increasing chance of snow. the weekend bringing a mixture of further rain and sunshine in the south. the uk's vaccine rollout is a huge national effort with medics and volunteers working around the clock to administer

the jabs. but where do those vaccines come from? breakfast has been given exclusive access to one company — based in wrexham — who have taken on the mammoth task of preparing almost all of the uk's supply of astrazeneca jabs. wockhardt has never allowed tv cameras inside — until now. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin is there for us. jane, there is a lot of vaccination, as this extraordinary vaccine roll—out is so successful, and how it all works in practice. you are getting an inside look.- it all works in practice. you are getting an inside look. yes, i have been. it getting an inside look. yes, i have been- it is — getting an inside look. yes, i have been. it is fascinating, _ getting an inside look. yes, i have been. it is fascinating, absolutely| been. it is fascinating, absolutely fascinating. tv cameras have never been allowed to film the production process down here. the uk's only facility that is guaranteeing our own home—grown supply of vaccines right now. it is special. you will see all the guys lining up ready for

that there has been a shift change overnight. good morning, everybody. here isjoe looking after us this morning. really is something special, seeing this being made. if you have had an astrazeneca jab in your arm, as millions upon millions of you have, it will almost certainly had come down the lines here with the people working here. they are feeling the pressure but, my goodness, they are also feeling the pride. have a look at this. hi, dawn. hi! dawn, do you remember what boris johnson said about these labs? no, i don't. no, i can't think. he said something a bit special. 0h, did he? no, i didn't hear that one. he was very complimentary. was he? i think he said this lab could be

a salvation to mankind. that sounds good, doesn't it? say it one more time. salvation to mankind. yes. wow! wales! on a nondescript industrial estate in north wales, they're manufacturing a vaccine that a year ago we could only dream of. inside is an enormous sense of pride. thank you, guys, keep it up. carl is one of the newest recruits. i started back injanuary this year. you were recruited just to get the vaccine out? just to get the vaccine out. i'm here solely to save the world! before saving the world, what were you doing? before saving the world i was in entertainment, where i'd do fire eating, whip cracking. still a bit of excitement. part of history now instead.

how do you feel working here, terry? very proud. this is saving lives. i'm shattered. working seven days a week to get this out, yeah. - the wockhardt factory has a contract with the government to bottle up any vaccine they send their way. right now it's the astrazeneca jab. the raw materials come in from oxford to this secure area. there is a massive weight of responsibility because obviously we're producing the astrazeneca vaccine for uk distribution, so we know without us there's people not receiving vaccination against covid. these guys have the capability to get out 120,000 doses every hour, but the pressure is constantly on to make it faster and more efficient, to get them out into the population much quicker. so we can't talk to you because

you're in the super sterile bit? is it what, sorry? communication isn't easy! i'm saying we can't talk to you properly because you're super sterile, aren't you? yes, yes. you're actually putting the vaccine in the vials. yes. is it just another day at the office when you're on these lines or not? i don't know. you know. it's hard to explain. but you know you're doing a really good thing. it's very, very important. it's actually quite enjoyable. every vial dawn and her colleagues have bottled end up here to be checked. a0 vials checked automatically every single second. the machine is using a total of 15 cameras to inspect a variety of different angles of the vial. there could be little bits of glass particulate, the fill level might not be right. any defect found by the cameras

is checked again by human eyes. but you're checking again, you're notjust throwing them out because you don't want to waste any. absolutely. we can't waste a drop. we've got to get as many in arms as possible. and every arm it hits is making a difference. the uk's covid vaccines have cut hospital admissions by around 90%. amanda tells me, since she fought covid, she has had no time for the anti—vaxxers. i was very, very poorly. i couldn't walk and talk. i couldn't breathe and talk. it was either one or the other. you feel very strongly that people should get the vaccine. yes, i do, i do. i think if people treated it like was a penicillin. a penicillin has saved no end of lives. polio vaccine has saved no end of lives. this is only doing the same thing. the vaccine for the covid isjust saving more people's lives. this team is one of only 25 manufacturing sites in the world.

they're producing a vaccine which came too late for the 2.7 million people who've so far died. being part of this story is seen as a huge honour by everyone who works here. ravi, can you remember the exact moment the call came in to say you've got it? yes, i do remember. it was a call which actually came into our security office and one of the security guards passed a line to me and said that somebody from the government of the uk wants to speak with you. certainly, as time went by, i started realising that this could be a huge moment in one's life, to make such a big difference to a pandemic which has almost stopped the world. it was in the destiny of this site and destiny of the team working here. in india, we famously say, your destiny is written

here, it will happen. probably that's what it was meant to be. and it's really a proud moment. yeah. do you ever think, none of this is real, it's a disaster movie we're living through? it is, yeah, and here are the heroes. give us your best superhero shot. who's going to play you in the movie, ravi? daniel craig. he comes from chester, sojust the right place! perfect choice. starring? cameron diaz? cameron diaz. i'll go with richard gere. tell me it's got a happy ending. of course. i really will cherish every bit of it. this will stay with me for life.

wow. honestly, it's such an exciting story, isn't it? they literally are saving the flipping world, aren't they? obviously, there is a lot of skill and expertise which goes into the work of these guys but there has been a lot of luck as well that is what is making the story so exciting. even before the pandemic strap, they were down here a brand new line for making medicines for the nhs. that process takes for ever with the regulations and validations. actually the stars aligned. just as they got the regulations in place was the exact moment the approval was given to

create a vaccine. the stars aligned and they were able to make it happen. here is another plot twist for you. when the storm hit north wales injanuary, there was a danger this place might be flooded. again stars aligned. that week, utility company happen to be in the area digging a ditch and it successfully managed to divert the water away from this place so production could carry on. i have not even told you about the anti—vax bomb scare which is going through the court at the moment, so we had better not talk about it. this place makes life—saving vaccines and this place is the only place in the uk making it happen right now. i get is the only place in the uk making it happen right now.— it happen right now. i get the enthusiasm _ it happen right now. i get the enthusiasm and _ it happen right now. i get the enthusiasm and see - it happen right now. i get the enthusiasm and see the - it happen right now. i get the - enthusiasm and see the excitement. the atmosphere, our camera guys with

you were spot on saying you are new to gardening. we will look at your pictures later on. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. croydon council has ended its ban on nonessential spending following a £120 million government bailout. the ban had been in place since the 11th of november, which prevented any new spending except for services required for vulnerable people. the bailout is conditional on the council proving it can improve its finances. london's open spaces have been a vital lifeline for many during the pandemic and ahead of the weekend, royal park bosses are urging visitors to continue to follow social distancing guidelines. they're asking visitors to stick to pathways, keep dogs on a short lead around wildlife and to dispose of litter responsibly.

on monday, the rules will be eased which will allow people to meet outside in groups of up to six with one other household. the met police have named a horse after a two—year—old girl called ava who died from cancer. we featured ava back injanuary, when the met and others made a special visit to her home so she could see some of her favourite animals one last time. officers from the mounted branch visited mum about to tell her about the horse, which may end up as part of a ceremonial team, which can parade for the queen. it means everything. it's not everyday you get this, you know? and she was so special, and to do this for her, you know, is amazing. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, the central line and district line line have severe delays and there are minor delays on the hammersmith and city line.

and on the roads, the usual morning traffic building up coming in on the a13 from dagenham to barking. in highbury, there are roadworks on holloway road by highbury and islington station. on the south circular in sheen, there are temporary traffic lights by milestone green. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. a very unsettled day today across london and the south—east and a windy start this morning. not terribly cold on the thermometer but feeling chilly in that wind. we've had showers through the night, we start with showers this morning. some sunshine in between but then later, a longer spell of rain will start to move in from the north and west. that's a weak cold front. before it comes in, temperatures just about low double figures but dragging in some colder air. so this evening, temperatures are going to fall away quite quickly. there will be further showers overnight for a time as well.

into tomorrow morning, there will be some drier weather. it will still be breezy and it will be cold to start the weekend. for the day tomorrow, though, there will be some sunshine around, it is mostly going to be dry, a little bit of cloud later on. this weekend is going to be breezy and on the cool side but as we go through to the start of the new working week, things do turn more settled and it will be warming up. and don't forget the clocks go forward on sunday morning. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning. we'll meet the owners of a bristol restaurant that's been providing free hot meals to nhs workers during the pandemic. as they plate up their 50,000th dish.

and after 28 years it's the end of the road for the ford mondeo. we'll take a drive down memory lane and find out what this means for the future of the motor industry just before eight o'clock. # ifeel it in my fingers, i feel it in my toes and the former wet wet wet frontman marti pellow willjoin us to chat about his latest solo album. that's one of those songs you always remember! we have been speaking about vaccines here on breakfast this morning with jayne mccubbin reporting from the factory where the vials for the oxford—astrazeneca jab are filled. it's as everyone over the age of 50 is being urged to book in their vaccinations by monday, before the roll—out slows down. here to talk to us about this is gp dr fari ahmad. good morning. morning! so, how does this work out —

anywhere if that is happening. yes, it is playing a part in some of these discussions we are having. also, there are concerns now, or public health england reports 6000 lives have been saved because of the vaccine. with reports like this, how does that play into vaccine hesitancy?— does that play into vaccine hesitan ? ., �*, ., , ., hesitancy? that's great news, that is what we all _ hesitancy? that's great news, that is what we all knew _ hesitancy? that's great news, that is what we all knew and _ hesitancy? that's great news, that is what we all knew and i - hesitancy? that's great news, that is what we all knew and i suspect i is what we all knew and i suspect that estimate might be a little bit underestimating the benefit of it. it is good news. we have seen people who were initially perhaps reluctant to have it have now decided that, yes, they do want to have it and they are stepping forward. all of this positive news works well to help persuade people to have the vaccine. �* , . ~ help persuade people to have the vaccine. �*, ., ,, ., vaccine. let's talk about something in the news. _ vaccine. let's talk about something in the news, particularly _ vaccine. let's talk about something in the news, particularly vaccine i in the news, particularly vaccine passports. nothing has been decided

the vaccine bit forcing people into corners to have it, i'm not sure i sit come to be with the ethics —— comfortably with the ethics of that. we will talk to you again soon, thank you. let's get the sport now. i have been brushing up with my football. titer? brushing up with my football. very impressed! _ brushing up with my football. very impressed! my _ brushing up with my football. very impressed! my little _ brushing up with my football. very impressed! my little bit _ brushing up with my football. very impressed! my little bit of - impressed! my little bit of interest. _ impressed! my little bit of interest, san _ impressed! my little bit of interest, san marino, - impressed! my little bit of - interest, san marino, england's opposition last night, have never one an international match. yes. one an international match. yes, they once _ one an international match. yes, they once scared _ one an international match. yes, they once scared england - one an international match. yes they once scared england after scoring of 90 seconds, but then they lost. they are the least successful football team internationally. they are small nation. it was the routine stroll you'd expect for england

against the minnows of world football, san marino. the road to qatar and next year's world cup will get tougher. scotland were impressive in the way they fought back for a point against austria in glasgow, but northern ireland had a disappointing evening in italy. our sports correspondent natalie pirks rounds up the night. three home nations, two different approaches. two sets of players and the staff stand. one common problem. there is no room for racism. england's player decided to take the knee for the next three matches in a week that will cement gareth southgate's euro squad. against the worst side in world football, he demanded england be ruthless but entertaining. and by half—time it was 3—0, captain sterling capitalising on a part—time defence. calvert—lewin claimed england's fourth before making way for ollie watkins. first cap, first shot, first goal. brilliant. a comfortable 5—0 win then on the occasion of southgate's 50th match as england manager. the last time scotland played

austria in a competitive match it was during qualifying for france �*98. also the last time either side made it to a world cup. scotland were 1—0 down and needed a big response. hanley is there! but when they went behind again, the reply was even better. and john mcginn! sodden but spectacular, this 2—2 comeback at hampden deserved a crowd. northern ireland had the toughest task of the night, away to italy who had never lost a home world cup qualifier. that wasn't about to change. ruthless! 2—0 italy, the final score in parma, but there is no time for northern ireland to lick their wounds as football's relentless schedule ploughs on. natalie pirks, bbc news. now after the agony of losing out on the six nations grand slam last week, wales could also see this season's trophy snatched off them tonight. it's the final match as scotland's trip to france was postponed last month due to a covid—19 outbreak

in the french camp. after beating wales last saturday, france players have been telling the media they're aiming to snatch the title off them by scoring at least four tries against scotland and winning by 21 points or more. now that talk, has left the scotland captain feeling "hacked off". we read a quote from one of the players saying that they've got a trophy to win. so as a proud scotsman, that hurt me a lot, and tomorrow, a lot has been said about what they need to do. if we win by eight points, we finish the highest we have ever finished in the six nations. so that's the motivation for us. england's cricketers are looking to bounce back this morning and level their three match series, against india. they'll have to do it without captain eoin morgan, who'll miss the last two games with a hand injury. joss buttler will skipper the side. sam billings will also miss out, which means liam livingstone will make his one day international debut. it gets under way at eight our time. now before the pandemic, triathlon was becoming one of the boom sports for people to have a go at, with more

accessible, shorter distances to swim, run and cycle. but the last year has been a write off, even for the elite athletes. sojust like all of us, the sport has had to adapt and come up with a new format that reflects lockdown life and how many of us are keeping fit at home. it comes to london for the first time this weekend. and one of triathlon's most famous brothers, jonny brownlee, is taking part. i went to see him in training, but not in the way he's used to. the great yorkshire countryside, natural habitat of britain's triathlon stars the brownlee brothers. indeed, whenever i've been to see them before, it always involves a run around here. but this time, due to the pandemic, it was very different and strange to find jonny cooped up in his conservatory, training on a static bike and treadmill. but a chance to get racing again. if someone told me that a few years ago, i'd have said absolutely no way. but this year is a new normal and that is the new normal, and to be honest i'm really looking forward to getting back racing and being on a start line.

and here's the new normal. many of the world's best, including jonny, competing in a new kind of triathlon. the first arena super league event to be staged in the uk this weekend. after a successful debut in the netherlands. a competition born out of the pandemic, crossing the virtual world with reality and all indoors. so while the athletes physically race each other in 200 metre swims, the 4k cycle ride sections and the one kilometre runs are done without leaving the poolside. it's short, it's fast and you can get those details of how much power people are pushing out, it's live on screen. what everyone's heart rate is, you can zoom in and see everyone's faces. so you actually get that more closer to an athlete. the indoor training for me is more of a struggle on the training side because i like being outside. but i know it's worthwhile and it has to happen. you basically have to run like a sprinter the whole time. it's not much fun, you sweat out about two litres an hour, you get angry with yourself because your head hurts. the sweat and headaches are also helping jonny prepare for the heat of this summer's olympics. he's got history when it

comes to such conditions. famously wilting just short of the line in mexico five years ago and needing the help of brother alistair. so to help prepare him this time, he's got heaters in his conservatory to keep the temperature around 32 celsius. i have got a fan here for when i crack and i get too hot, i can turn it on, or open a window. so it takes all my willpower not to do that if i'm really hot. but yeah, basically, the secret to training for the heat is to get hot. i hope it's going to be my year. i keep telling myself that i've got bronze and silver, so it's got to happen, hasn't it, really? come on then, mike, it's your turn as well. you can't come all this way and not exercise with me, come on. 0k. because of athletes like jonny, i'm keeping a safe distance here, a triathlon was one of the big growth sports at grassroots level before the first lockdown. in that year alone before the pandemic, over 40,000 people got involved, having a go at one of the brownlee triathlons in schools or one of the go tri events. which have shorter distances to make

triathlon events more accessible to everyone. and this is why the sport is heading for a new boom once restrictions are lifted. there definitely has been more people be active and people wanting to go out and have these kind of challenges and goals and start running again and get fit. and hopefully people can continue, maybe people have learned that that is important to them, you have maybe people learned that there's more balance in their life. it's been a balancing act for all of us during the pandemic and jonny hopes by adapting to this new reality, he could now achieve this summer's sporting goals. you can see howjohnny and the other bbc athletes get on, courage on the bbc athletes get on, courage on the bbc website on the red button tomorrow from 3pm to 5pm. and then an hour we will be looking ahead to the new rugby super league season. you are excited about all the sport happening, it does feel like it's getting busy. happening, it does feel like it's getting busy-— happening, it does feel like it's ettin bus. , ., ., ., ., getting busy. yes, tomorrow morning i will be looking _ getting busy. yes, tomorrow morning i will be looking at _ getting busy. yes, tomorrow morning i will be looking at the _ getting busy. yes, tomorrow morning

moment heavy rain in the west through this morning will push eastwards through england and wales, brightening up the scotland and northern ireland but sunshine and showers is the name of the game and elsewhere we will see sunshine and showers, more persistent rain in east anglia and the south—east during the afternoon. temperatures around the end of the day eight or 9 degrees, fairly cool for this stage in the air. this evening and overnight, the rain will clear away, and there could be snow to lower levels through parts of the country. temperatures close to freezing in some areas, a chance of some frost and some ice around tomorrow morning. wintry showers to begin with from north wales, north midlands northwards, most will fade, lots of sunshine around through the morning and early part of the afternoon but gradually carding ever from the west. through the afternoon, —— clouding overfrom the west. and most areas will see some rain. temperatures tomorrow around

the order of seven to 10 degrees. by the order of seven to 10 degrees. by the end of the day, wind is strengthening across the north and west of the country and with it outbreaks of rain. a pretty windy night through saturday night and into sunday morning. as we go through sunday, outbreaks of rain largely across parts of ireland, southern scotland, northern england and north wales. north of that, sunshine, south of it, sunshine and cloud at times. compared with the next few days, that images will start to lift a little bit and by the time we get to sunday —— the temperatures will start to lift and by the time we get to sunday, we will get 15 degrees on the eastern coast. south—westerly winds dominating into next week so temperatures will climb even further, we could see a peak of 18 degrees on monday in eastern england, maybe 21 in the south—east on tuesday. after a chilly day today, something a little bit warmer on the way into the start of next week.

something to look forward to if you like the warmer weather. over the past year we have shared countless stories of incredible acts of kindness, and people going above and beyond to support those in their community. sometimes it's little things, and sometimes it's a little bit bigger scale. �* , sometimes it's a little bit bigger scale. �*, ., ., , ., . scale. it's about how they touch eo - le scale. it's about how they touch people and _ scale. it's about how they touch people and how _ scale. it's about how they touch people and how they _ scale. it's about how they touch people and how they help. - in bristol, one restaurant has been providing health care workers with free meals, almost 50,000. with social distancing and all of that, and all you can smell this morning is sausages, that must be tricky! it is tricky, but it is a lovely smell. welcome to bristol, this van is here every friday morning at 6am, with the brothers, affectionately known as miss piggy, and it has been here for the last year every friday

i just felt like crying. it was just dead nice, to watch them both back together again. the siblings getting back together is all the more joyous given what they've overcome. doctors feared neve might not survive in the room because she had survive in the womb because she had reverse blood flow and wasn't getting enough nutrients, while louis had complications after birth including collapsed lungs. this picture, are you surprised that it's just gone everywhere? it started off on a virtual pub on facebook. my mum put it up there, a status on and everyone was asking for updates. so i put my own up and itjust went off from there. just thousands after thousands liked it. thankfully the twins are making good progress and could leave liverpool women's hospital by may. it will be nice but will be up the wall. we've got all our family members who can't wait to meet them. he'sjust dead calm. like when you do his nappy and stuff, hejust lies there, he's not bothered. she kicks off when she's got a dirty nappy. and when you're trying

to change her to put a clean one on, she's still kicking off. she's just dead feisty, she's unbelievable for a two—pound baby. the fun starts here! it does. for the next few weeks, though, they'll continue to get stronger together. what do you think they'll think when they look back on this in years to come? they're going to be embarrassed, aren't they? yeah, but i think they'll be happy at the same time because we are going to do a little memory box. louis, when he wasn't well, had this hat on, that was holding his oxygen thing on his face together. there's a page in the echo for them so we're just going to put that in and when they're older, show them it. don't forget about us as well! yeah, and yous! they'll probably kill us, like, but it's got to be done, hasn't it? i think they'll be fine with it. ian haslam, bbc news, liverpool. that is an extraordinary image. 1 love the way it was described that is an extraordinary image. i love the way it was described how feisty she was for a small baby kicking off where louis isjust calm! coming up on breakfast this morning.

we'll meet the kevin the postman, who is being terrorised by this unpleasant pheasant — known as mr angry — during his daily rounds. i don't know what kevin has done to mr angry but he is angry. he is under attack. _ under attack. laughter more of that later on. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. croydon council has ended its ban on non—essential spending following a 120 million pound government bailout. the ban had been in place since the 11th of november, which prevented any new spending except for services legally required for vulnerable people. the bailout is conditional on the council proving it can improve its finances.

london's open spaces have been a vital lifeline for many during the pandemic and ahead of the weekend, royal park bosses are urging visitors to continue to follow social distancing guidelines. they're asking visitors to stick to pathways, keep dogs on a short lead around wildlife and to dipose of litter responsibly. on monday, the rules will be eased which will allow people to meet outside in groups of up to six with one other household. the met police have named a horse after a two—year—old girl called ava who died from cancer. we featured ava back injanuary, when the met and others made a special visit to her home so she could see some of her favourite animals one last time. officers from the mounted branch visited her mum to tell her about the horse, which may end up as part of a ceremonial team, which can parade for the queen. it means everything. it's not everyday you get this, you know? and she was so special, and to do this for her, you know, is amazing.

let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, the central line has severe delays and there are minor delays on the district and hammersmith and city lines. on the trains, there are delays on southeastern and thameslink services into london because of a signal failure at gillingham. and on the roads, it's queueing on the southern approach to the blackwall tunnel. queues back past woolwich road. pretty bad for this time of the morning. on the south circular in sheen, there are temporary traffic lights by milestone green. now the weeather with sara thornton. good morning to you. a very unsettled day today across london and the south—east and a windy start this morning. not terribly cold on the thermometer but feeling chilly in that wind. we've had showers through the night, we start with showers this morning. some sunshine in between but then later, a longer spell of rain will start to move

in from the north and west. that's a weak cold front. before it comes in, temperatures just about low double figures but dragging in some colder air. so this evening, temperatures are going to fall away quite quickly. there will be further showers overnight for a time as well. into tomorrow morning, there will be some drier weather. it will still be breezy and it will be cold to start the weekend. for the day tomorrow, though, there will be some sunshine around, it is mostly going to be dry, a little bit of cloud later on. this weekend is going to be breezy and on the cool side but as we go through to the start of the new working week, things do turn more settled and it will be warming up. and don't forget the clocks go forward on sunday morning. 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.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... �*stay local�* rules will lift in wales from tomorrow and staycations are back on — but only for people living within its borders. we have exclusive access to film production of the life—saving vaccines going out across the uk with these guys are the only production facility in the country. head over heels at hampden. it took a spectacular strike from john mcginn to earn scotland a point against austria in the world cup qualifiers, while england thrashed san marino, but northern ireland lost in italy. and we pay homage to the iconic ford mondeo, as it begins itsjourney out of production. you may see sunshine at times. a day a big billowing clouds and you may

need a coat with the thundery downpours. it's friday, the 26th of march. our top story... wales will end its "stay local" rules from tomorrow, meaning people will be able to travel within its borders without restrictions. it's the first uk nation to allow travel since lockdowns were re—imposed, with tourist accommodation also given the green light to reopen, as hywel griffith reports. the coast is calling. after three months of confinement, from tomorrow, people across wales can travel where they want, as long as they remain within its borders. the final decision came last night. i think there's a mass confusion over when people are opening and when they're not reopening. for paula, it means she can reopen her cabins. but with 96% of her customers normally coming from england, there are still spaces. she hopes the bookings will now come. i think people have been literally locked into their homes,

and theyjust want to get out, and they just want the freedom of walking and just breathing in the fresh air and see the sea. for now, it's only welsh visitors who can come and enjoy the scenery. tourism trips across the border aren't allowed with people in england being told to stay local over the easter holidays. along the coast at porthcawl, they still expect to be busy. some of the residents are anxious about crowds coming. very nervous. it happened last year. we couldn't even walk along the prom, there were so many people. whilst i understand people wanting to come out, it's daunting if you live here as well. the welsh government has called on people to be cautious as they take this next small step towards freedom. hywel griffith, bbc news. the european commission president ursula von der leyen has said astrazeneca must catch up with vaccine deliveries to the european union — before exporting doses to other

countries, including the uk. the warning came after leaders met to discuss vaccine supplies. they blame astrazeneca for delays to the rollout of the jab across the eu, saying the company failed to deliver promised doses. we're joined by our brussels correspondent, nick beake. morning to you. a bit confused. where does this leave the supply of vaccines destined for the uk, or in marked to the uk? n vaccines destined for the uk, or in marked to the uk?— vaccines destined for the uk, or in marked to the uk? i am not sure it chances marked to the uk? i am not sure it changes match _ marked to the uk? i am not sure it changes match compared - marked to the uk? i am not sure it changes match compared with - marked to the uk? i am not sure it changes match compared with 24 i marked to the uk? i am not sure it - changes match compared with 24 hours changes match compared with 2a hours ago. in the british newspapers, they had a different take on the marathon video call eu leaders had yesterday. a lot of people involved in this and say they played their parts and have come out of this quite well. as for the threat they were talking about earlier this week that vaccine supply or parts of vaccines heading

for the uk may be blocked or banned in some way, it doesn't theme it will happen anytime soon. european leaders have that as an option but in the short term it does not look like that will happen. there may be something which could see some of the eu's and apple that they feel badly let down by astrazeneca in not receiving all the vaccines they have been promised. astrazeneca is doing all it can, trying to ramp up production. we focus on two plants in astrazeneca's production process. if an agreement is reached between the uk and the eu that materials made their are being diverted in the coming days, weeks and months to eu countries, ratherthan coming days, weeks and months to eu countries, rather than going to other countries outside the eu,

possibly that might soothe tensions and it might represent a minor victory for the european union. certainly the picture is pretty bleak if you look at some of the covid cases across europe, in many countries they are going up once again. the idea of getting as many vaccines as possible for eu leaders is really crucial to them.— vaccines as possible for eu leaders is really crucial to them. thank you for explaining _ is really crucial to them. thank you for explaining that. _ vaccine passports may only be introduced once all adults have been offered a jab, according to the prime minister. borisjohnson says no decisions have been made on the scheme — which would require people to prove they've been vaccinated before visiting pubs and other venues — but promised an update next month. we're joined by our political correspondent iain watson. there has been so much chat about the idea of vaccine passports. when the idea of vaccine passports. when the prime minister talks about when and if it takes on different

significance. he and if it takes on different significance.— and if it takes on different si . nificance. ., ., significance. he went through detail su: arestin significance. he went through detail suggesting it _ significance. he went through detail suggesting it may — significance. he went through detail suggesting it may not _ significance. he went through detail suggesting it may not be _ significance. he went through detail suggesting it may not be introduced until every adult had been offered a jab, probably the end ofjuly at the earliest. he also suggested perhaps as well as proof of vaccination you could also have proof you have had a negative test or you had taken an antibody test what you have already had the virus and you have resistance to it. that level of detail gives a hint about where the government is going. it is under review and we will find out about it in april. it has not been going well with boris johnson's in april. it has not been going well with borisjohnson's backbenchers. it is suggested it was an infringement of civil liberties, unworkable and not conservative. another said he was horrified by the proposal. there will be resistance if the government decides not to go down this road. the owner of a big chain of pubs suggested it was a bonkers idea and very difficult to

enforce. some theatres for example which cannot have social distancing by their very nature think something of this sort might help them to get back to normality. ilrrui’ith of this sort might help them to get back to normality.— back to normality. with a lorry drivers, back to normality. with a lorry drivers. people _ back to normality. with a lorry drivers, people will _ back to normality. with a lorry drivers, people will be - back to normality. with a lorry drivers, people will be aware i back to normality. with a lorry i drivers, people will be aware that lorry drivers coming from eu countries do not to have a covid test. they are essential supply services and had been exempt. there is talk around may be that changing as well. , ., , , ., ., as well. they have been exempt for a number of reasons. _ as well. they have been exempt for a number of reasons. providing - number of reasons. providing supplies to this country. also there has been additional friction at the borders. the government is reluctant to make that any worse. lorry drivers are quite isolated. they go to in their cabs and are not really socially mixing. the prime minister has asked about this at a meeting of senior mps during the week. he said there is potential disruption to

trade and all this will be kept under review. there is evidence that although not widespread, their variance of concern as they are called upcoming in from other european countries. the haulage industry thinks testing will become mandatory for lorry drivers very soon. the department for transport says this is under review. it looks as though things are moving in that direction. france from december insisted lorry drivers from the uk needed to be tested. they have dropped that requirement. there is a lot of concern about the third wave of coronavirus on the continent. thank you very much. the stranded container ship blocking the suez canal could be stuck for weeks, despite efforts to free the vessel. the ever given has been stranded since tuesday, after being blown off course by strong winds. it is holding—up around £7 billion worth of goods each day, and causing huge tailbacks of other ships trying to pass through the waterway. china has imposed sanctions on nine uk citizens — including five mps and two peers — for spreading

what it called "lies and disinformation" about the country. it comes in retalliation for measures taken by the uk government on monday over human rights abuses against the uighur muslim minority group. the former conservative party leader sir iain duncan smith is one of those facing sanctions. the mother of two black women, who were killed in london last summer has expressed her sympathy for the family of sarah everard — and questioned why the deaths of her daughters received so little attention at the time. mina smallman feels the metropolitan police did not act swiftly when her daughters were reported missing — she was later told police had taken selfies with their bodies. mishal husain has been speaking to her. they were celebrating bibaa's birthday, they were dancing in the fields with lights, just having a real good time. we never ever spoke to them again. bibaa henry and her sister nicole smallman disappeared

injune last year after meeting friends in a london park. they were reported missing but it was a search mounted by family and friends, which found their bodies in the same park. two police officers were later arrested on suspicion of taking and sharing photographs of the bodies at the crime scene. when you saw the way that the police were looking for sarah everard, and you relived the events after nicole and bibaa went missing, what did you think? me and my husband, we just went back in time emotionally and the anxiety, and i know what that family, the parents will be going through. and it is a hell. you can't begin to understand what it is to lose a child under those circumstances.

and then to have a further betrayal. the very organisation who is paid, and we have an agreement with, that they will protect us, they will honour us and behave in a way that gives our deceased dignity. allegations against the police in relation to this case continue to be investigated. the metropolitan police commissioner cressida dick told us... a suspect charged over nicole and bibaa's deaths is due to go on trial this summer. but the response to sarah everard's disappearance has left the family with new questions.

we have received so much kickback from friends and colleagues, who are saying, "excuse me, where was this level of coverage and outrage for two of your daughters murdered?" why do you think that is? i think the notion of all people matter is absolutely right but it's not true. other people have more kudos in this world than people of colour. and you and your husband, how are you? it will be a year injune. just two sundays ago it was my first mother's day without my girls.

and we were destroyed really. you know. i think there's two sides to me. there's mum, and then there's activist, someone who has always stood in the gap for people who are not treated fairly. as mum, i am as broken, i am broken beyond words. it is a vast loss. two faces, two sisters, whose lives were brutally cut short in the same instant. mishal husain, bbc news. our thanks to ourthanks to mina

our thanks to mina smallman for raising those issues. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. brief glimpse of sunshine in cheshire. it is probably raining quite heavily. that sums up the forecast for many of us. sunshine will be punctuated by some hefty downpours. thunder and hail mixed input at this band of rain is already across cheshire now. they few showers, in east anglia and the south east, which will ease. the rain is pushing its way eastwards across most parts of england and wales, the eastern half of england in the afternoon. followed by sunshine and showers. the show is more hit and miss. almost like april downpours. some will come with billowing cloud and flashes of lightning, rumbles of thunder. also some hail. it will not last too long. the blustery wind pushing through most parts. sunshine and

showers for many in western scotland throughout the day after we had lost persistent rain. here and for the rest of the country it will feel colder. the wind will make it feel colder. the wind will make it feel colder than six to nine celsius would suggest. a blustery and cold i pulled on a chilly night to come as well. some showers around. turning to sleet and snow. one or two may wake up to a dusting of snow. there will be ice around as well. sunshine on saturday but we will see things turn wetter on saturday night into sunday, in the north, windy as well. warmer as we go into next week. it could in the south—east corner get into the high teens, if not low 20s. a big turnaround from what we have at the moment. back to you. over the past year, we've heard about the hard work being done on the frontline — and about the key workers helping to keep the uk moving

during the pandemic. but behind the scenes of the wockhardt factory in north wales, people are working around the clock to prepare the uk's supply of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine. now breakfast has been given exclusive access to the site, and jayne mccubbin is there for us now. this is there for us now. is, for you i know and the team, this is, for you i know and the team, has been really life changing, so insightful. it is team, has been really life changing, so insightful-— so insightful. it is really exciting to be down _ so insightful. it is really exciting to be down here, _ so insightful. it is really exciting to be down here, honestly. - so insightful. it is really exciting to be down here, honestly. it. so insightful. it is really exciting i to be down here, honestly. it kind of makes you tingle. you know how important this work is. this is the only place in the uk that is doing this work right now. if you have had the astrazeneca jab, as i have, as millions of people have, it has almost certainly come down this factory line here. these people are doing such important work. normally in a factory like this, on an ob like this, i'd be the hello everybody, how are you? i'm not

allowed to disturb them. they are up against it, they have a deadline to hit. the aim is to get everybody vaccinated, every adult offered their vaccination by the end of july. they are on target to do that will stop while europe wrangles about what goes on over there, they are guaranteeing our uk supplies of this stuff. there are eight doses in that vial. they are ready to go out across the country. how many lives will be saved by everything in that palette? if you are watching earlier, you might have seen carl, a young man. he is a new arrival. he has one of the world's best cvsl. before lockdown, he was an entertainer, a key of llamas, now it

says saving the world. —— a keeper. if i take you through here, to another room, you will see the start of the process. come through here and have a look through the window. this is really life as seen through med. the men and women who started the process. this is where the active ingredient comes into the building, it is mixed with stabilisers and the process starts to put it into vials. it is amazing to put it into vials. it is amazing to see this at this critical time because we know the uk is doing amazingly well compared with other countries in the vaccination programme. let me introduce you to jail. yesterday i said, when we are filming, is it ok if i give the guy isa filming, is it ok if i give the guy is a knock on the window and say, hello, give us a wave to the camera?

how often do you build a fire? probably twice a week, probably. if we're going to sit round here, we'll do it twice a week because it's quite nice. you just get to sit round the fire. if you're really lucky, marshmallows. could we have marshmallows tonight, maybe? yes, 100%. he's about to spend his 363rd consecutive night sleeping in a tent in his back garden. do you want to leave your sleeping bag here because it's going to get soaked? come rain, shine orfrost, max has toughed it out and slept it out. this was storm bella, when his dad markjoined him for moral support. it's 11 o'clock on boxing day, 2020. he's fast asleep. so it was about 11 o'clock he came in. the tent was going onto my face. oh no, the tent had blown down? yeah, but i didn't notice, i was fast asleep.

max was inspired by friend and neighbour rick, who died last year of cancer, and gave him his tent, telling him to seek out an adventure. during his final days, rick was cared for by staff from the north devon hospice, so max is raising money for the charity. max's initiative, itjust could not come at a better time. we are unable to fund raise, our shops are all shut, it is absolutely a lifeline to us to continue our care. this weekend, as he celebrates one year under canvas, he's calling on children around the world tojoin him, either outdoors or to set up camp indoors. we're going to camp out in our garden on saturday as well. max isn't too far away from us but i'm sure if we whoop and cheer loud enough, he might hear us, some added support. and your two are excited about that? yes, yes. as long as it's not raining, they're excited. and he's earned some big—name supporters. hey, max, it's bear grylls here. just to say well done for all you're doing. what an incredible achievement,

your year camping out is going to be amazing. not easy but amazing. hi, max, it'sjonny wilkinson here. i wanted to send you a little i message, really, just to wish you well, especially for this amazing thing you're - doing at the moment. how do you do it? i don't know, just burn it. back in his garden in north devon, and we are raising a toasted marshmallow to his achievement. i just can't comprehend that max has done this. and he's done it by himself. it was his idea. the thing with children when they do things is a lot of time we tell them what we are going to do. if they do fundraising, we tell them how they're going to do it and we tell them who they're raising funds for. this is all off of his own back. were there are nights when you thought, "i can't do this any more," but you managed to persuade yourself to stay out? i cried myself to sleep one night, if that's what you... all my stuff was soaking wet. what made you think, no,

i'm going to stay out? one, i thought of all the money i'm raising. two, i thought, if i accomplish this, i'm free. iforgot the key, so i couldn't really get in. and he's not ready to return to his bedroom just yet. i think i might carry on for a bit and then just see where it goes. see what next adventure i do. maybe to leave the garden, that would be a good one. 0k. i think we're dreaming about that kind of thing post—lockdown, aren't we? actually being able to leave the garden. he's already raised more than £160,000, which will help families cope with extremely difficult times. night—night sweetie, love you. night, mum. see you in the morning. just a couple more sleeps till maximus. john maguire, bbc news, north devon.

we have been there a few times over this year. still there. after 28 yea rs it's the end of the road for the ford mondeo. we'll take a drive down memory lane and find out what this means for the future of the motor industry just before eight o'clock. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. croydon council has ended its ban on non—essential spending following a £120 million pound government bailout. the ban had been in place since the 11th of november, which prevented any new spending except for services legally required for vulnerable people. the bailout is conditional on the council proving it can improve its finances. london's open spaces have been a vital lifeline for many during the pandemic and ahead of the weekend, royal park bosses are urging visitors to continue to follow social distancing guidelines. they're asking visitors

to stick to pathways, keep dogs on a short lead around wildlife and to dispose of litter responsibly. on monday, the rules will be eased which will allow people to meet outside in groups of up to six with one other household. meanwhile, new data shows big increases in the people exercising outdoors since the start of the pandemic. walking, cycling and running have all gone up according to data from the app strava with research indicating it's in part to a decrease in vehicle traffic. i will keep cycling and encouraging other people to do so as well, and i think it is one of those things that, once your fear levels drop, think it is one of those things that, once yourfear levels drop, or you become accustomed to traffic, it's much easier to cycle anywhere. so it's unlocked doors for me which were previously closed. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there are minor delays on both the central

and hammersmith and city lines. on the trains, there are delays on southeastern and thameslink services into london because of a signal failure at gillingham. and on the roads, euston road is very slow into town from the marylebone flyover to king's cross. in highbury, there are roadworks on holloway road by highbury and islington station. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. a very unsettled day today across london and the south—east and a windy start this morning. not terribly cold on the thermometer but feeling chilly in that wind. we've had showers through the night, we start with showers this morning. some sunshine in between but then later, a longer spell of rain will start to move in from the north and west. that's a weak cold front. before it comes in, temperatures just about low double figures but dragging in some colder air. so this evening, temperatures are going to fall away quite quickly.

there will be further showers overnight for a time as well. into tomorrow morning, there will be some drier weather. it will still be breezy and it will be cold to start the weekend. for the day tomorrow, though, there will be some sunshine around, it is mostly going to be dry, a little bit of cloud later on. this weekend is going to be breezy and on the cool side but as we go through to the start of the new working week, things do turn more settled and it will be warming up. and don't forget the clocks go forward on sunday morning. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. many of us will be hoping for a holiday this year and for people living in wales, staycations will be back on the cards from this weekend.

it's the first nation to scrap travel restrictions within its borders. so what's the picture like across the uk? as we've heard, tourist accommodation in wales including many hotels and cottages will reopen their doors tomorrow. meanwhile in england, holidays in self—contained accommodation, like cottages, won't be allowed until the 12th of april at the earliest. and for hotels and b&bs that date is the 17th of may and is subject to the government's road map. travel within mainland scotland will be allowed again from the 26th of april, when tourist accommodation can also reopen. and as for northern ireland, we are still waiting to hear what their plans will be. until then, sites in wales are working to welcome people back. we're joined now from aberystwyth by thomas scarrott, who is the director of vale holiday parks. good morning to you. paint is a

yourself to november 2022, the world cup will be here that quickly. there was a win, a draw, and a defeat for the home nations in world cup qualifying action last night. england thrashed san marino, the world's lowest ranked team, 5—0. the least you'd expect really. but there was a goal on his debut for substitute ollie watkins, scoring with his first kick of the game, while dominic calvert calvert—lewin was twice on target. the behaviours and the habits that we showed, to be a top team you have to show there is every day in every training session and in every match and today we respected the game and we went about the job in the right way. there was a battling point for scotland. john mcginn scored an acrobatic equaliser as scotland drew 2—2 with austria at hampden. the scots twice came from behind. but there was disappointment for northern ireland, losing 2—0 to italy in parma. the italians are now unbeaten in 23 matches.

so it was always going to be a massive challenge. after finding a swimming pool with one of his shots on wednesday, rory mcilroy had a much better day yesterday at the world matchplay. he beat the american, lanto griffin, comfortably in texas. but he needs to win today and hope fellow brit ian poulter slips up if he's to make it out of the group stages. poulter beat mcilroy heavily in the opening match. there was a scare for british teenager, jack draper, at the miami tennis open in what was his debut on the atp tour. the 19 year old desperately struggled with the florida heat in his match against mikhail kukushkin, collapsing on court during the first set. he received swift medical attention but couldn't continue. he did recover though, and was able to walk off unaided. the new formula one season begins this weekend with the bahrain grand prix. practice starts at 11.30 this morning. reigning world champion lewis hamilton recently signed a new deal with mercedes but the contract is only for one year. the seven—time champion says he doesn't feel like he's nearing the end of his career,

but he didn't rule out walking away at the end of the season. i don't feel like i'm at the end. but only, you know, the next eight months or so will let me know, i'll find out whether i'm ready to stop or not. i don't think i will, personally. but you never know. the six nations finally ends tonight. scotland's trip to france was postponed last month due to a covid—19 outbreak in the french camp. and this one will now determine who wins the trophy. after beating wales last saturday to deny them the grand slam, france can now snatch the title too if they can score at least four tries against scotland, and win by 21 points or more. the french players have been full of confidence in the media about becoming this season's champions tonight, and that has certainly been winding up the scotland captain. we read a quote from one of the players saying that they've got a trophy to win. so as a proud scotsman, that hurt me a lot, and tomorrow,

a lot has been said about what they need to do. if we win by eight points, we finish the highest we have ever finished in the six nations. so that's the motivation for us. tonight sees the start of rugby league's new super league season. champions st helens take on salford in the opening opening game. our reporter adam wild now looks ahead to some of the key talking points, most importantly perhaps, how can this new season possibly match the drama of last year's grand final? full of light, full of fireworks, full of passion. super league 2021 has a huge act to follow. that is absolutely extraordinary! you will never see a finish to a rugby league game like that, ever again! just the elation, the overwhelming feeling when the big screen came up with try, it's a moment i'll never forget. the extraordinary nature of the tale, will leave of the tale, will live in rugby league legend.

teenagerjack welsby winning the title for st helens in the final seconds of the final game of the season. my mum and dad have watched it about 300 times on telly. every time i come downstairs, they're sat in front of the telly watching it on the couch. i have never ever seen a finish like this. it's always a dream to win a grand final around these parts. now i've got the taste of it, ijust want it even more. all of the boys are in the exact same boat, we want as much trophies and silverware and rings and medals as we can and. and that feels an ominous warning. a few miles down the road from st helens, aims are perhaps just a little more modest. leigh centurions are super league's newest addition, elevated back to the game's elite after the demise of toronto wolfpack. you can see here the facility they've built is built for super league. it's the focal point of the town. we don't have any pits any more, or, you know, we don't have football here, so leigh is about rugby league. it's what this community stands for. for the start of the season, the stands of course will remain empty.

all the opening rounds are being played at headingley in leeds. the plan is, though, that won't last too long. the fans, the clubs, the players, everyone so eager to get back, there is so much to look forward to. great shame we lose leigh from super league but they have to start again. leigh have been here before, relegated four years ago. now they're back and desperate to stay. we're just so excited and looking forward to it, and all the fans as well, they've not seen rugby for over a year, the leigh fans. they're absolutely brilliant, absolutely magnificent atmosphere when we've got a full house so we can't wait till that happens. so leigh, the new boys. over at warrington there is one new face in particular that is drawing attention. inglis with a carry, great, inglis. that man... the australian superstar greg inglis, one of the finest players of his generation, has been tempted out of retirement. to me, it will be the experience,

what am about to experience, very rare these occasions and moments in your life come you and you see the ones that you grab, it's all about creating memories and getting that opportunity. and inglis isn't the only familiar face joining super league. brett hodgson, a former man of steel, is back, this time as coach at hull fc. the players are excited, and we'll go into games expected to win because we feel that we have prepared well enough to do that. so, you know, that then will get the supporters supporting us even even at a better level than they already do. new coaches, new players, and one new club, all with the same challenge. the road to the grand final begins now. if super league 2021 has just a fraction of the drama of last season, it could be very special indeed. adam wild, bbc news. next to an event going on right now in kew gardens. where they have been tiptoeing

through the tulips of sorts in the 20 kilometre walk olympic qualifying event. callum wilkinson has won in the last few minutes, and it's followed by the various marathons. they will decide who makes it to tokyo this summer. finishing in the top two at kew is half the deal, but athletes also have to duck inside the olympic qualifying times. watch out for tom evans who didn't take up marathon running until 2017 when it was a bit of a drunken bet with his mates. now he has a chance of making the olympics. now he has a chance of making the ol mics. ~ . now he has a chance of making the cl mics.~ ., ., now he has a chance of making the olmics.~ ., ., , olympics. what an absolutely beautiful surrounding - olympics. what an absolutely beautiful surrounding to - olympics. what an absolutely beautiful surrounding to have | olympics. what an absolutely. beautiful surrounding to have a walk—through. i know they are competing so they will not be taking in the surroundings.— in the surroundings. athletes do say sometimes that _ in the surroundings. athletes do say sometimes that the _ in the surroundings. athletes do say sometimes that the environment i in the surroundings. athletes do say| sometimes that the environment can inspire them. sometimes that the environment can inspire them-— inspire them. lovely, thank you and see ou inspire them. lovely, thank you and see you later— inspire them. lovely, thank you and see you later on. _ over the past year we have shared countless stories of incredible acts of kindness, and people going above and beyond to support those in their community. in bristol, one restaurant has been providing health care workers with free meals. how many have they handed out? almost 50,000.

i think they are expected to reach 50,000 today. fiona lamdin is there for us. are you keeping a tally? good mornina! are you keeping a tally? good morning! this _ are you keeping a tally? good morning! this queue - are you keeping a tally? good morning! this queue is - are you keeping a tally? good morning! this queue is growing. this man and his team others have been here since five o'clock this morning that they had been here every friday for the last serving three food, free breakfast for staff who have just finished their shifts at southmead hospital and the staff that have just started. let me give you a taste of what they can eat, not actually a taste but a little look. these are some sausages, ollie is doing some barbecuing, and after the sausages, let's have a look at those cakes. look at those yummy cakes. let's come over and meet sam. he's worked at the hospital, just getting his sausage this morning,

to be revolutionary, they've played it safe. if it was food, it would be a potato. let's speak to quentin willson, who was a presenter of top gear when the mondeo first went on sale in 1993. good morning to you. morning. i have two questions. _ good morning to you. morning. i have two questions, did _ good morning to you. morning. i have two questions, did you _ good morning to you. morning. i have two questions, did you ever— good morning to you. morning. i have two questions, did you ever have - good morning to you. morning. i have two questions, did you ever have a i two questions, did you ever have a mondeo? , ., , ., , mondeo? yes, i had loads, and they were very good- _ mondeo? yes, i had loads, and they were very good. and _ mondeo? yes, i had loads, and they were very good. and i _ mondeo? yes, i had loads, and they were very good. and i think- mondeo? yes, i had loads, and they were very good. and i think we - were very good. and i think we should remember it as a really great ford. , ., ., ford. then why on earth did it become almost, _ ford. then why on earth did it become almost, a _ ford. then why on earth did it become almost, a bit - ford. then why on earth did it become almost, a bit of - ford. then why on earth did it become almost, a bit of a - ford. then why on earth did it i become almost, a bit of a joke, ford. then why on earth did it - become almost, a bit of a joke, and to be cold a mondeo man was a bit of

an insult. how did that happen? and there will be a lot of people who will not they what i'm referring to! well, tony blair called his new demographic for new labour the mondeo man, because he had met a bloke in nottingham, an electrician, with ironically a ford sierra, they had to update it, and said this is exactly the hard—working wholesome demographic that his new political orthodoxy appeals to. so it kind of got that name on it stuck. then it became kind of wholesome and, a good car but not exciting. people didn't get up in the morning and say, i'm going to buy a ford mondeo. so that took the gloss off of it and as clarkson said, this car would be a potato if it was a vegetable because it became very conservative and middle—of—the—road. the it became very conservative and middle-of-the-road._ it became very conservative and middle-of-the-road. the thing is, quentin, middle-of-the-road. the thing is, quentin. you _ middle-of-the-road. the thing is, quentin. you say— middle-of-the-road. the thing is, quentin, you say that _ middle-of-the-road. the thing is, quentin, you say that people... i middle-of-the-road. the thing is, i quentin, you say that people... lots of people _ quentin, you say that people... lots of people owned them and loved them.

with the occasional barking dog. but for one postie in the norfolk village of brooke, he's got a more unique issue. he's being terrorised by a rather unpleasant pheasant, as our reporter mike liggins has been finding out. say that twice! unpleasant pheasant. this is kevin the postman on his round in the village of brooke, not farfrom norwich. he's friendly, popular with the locals and does a greatjob. but for weeks now, kevin has been battling with a filthy tempered pheasant, called mr angry. he gets very angry, he goes for your ankles and there was one occasion at 26 round the corner, where he flew and knocked the letters out of my hand. mr angry lives in the garden at number 36, and every time kevin comes near, the pheasant gets upset. kevin has to dodge behind gates,

but that doesn't always work. squawking. on occasions, kevin has even had to leg it, and seek refuge in his van. to start with, it was a bit of fun, you know, got a couple of nice photos of him in the snow, thought he was a friendly pheasant. and then he went for my ankles, and ever since that, he's always been in this mood. would mr angry be on patrol today? well, yes, he was and at the start, he had kevin surrounded. why is he angry? is it because kevin wears red? or is he looking for a mate, and thinks kevin might be a female pheasant perhaps? well, no, localfarmers say, he's just being territorial. perhaps he knew he was on tv, but today, the bolshie bird wasn't so much mr angry, more mr mildly annoyed. he seems to be in a good mood today, which is unusualfor him.

so it was honours even today. kevin got on with the job and mr angry predictably went off in a huff, unimpressed by his first tv appearance. mike liggins, bbc news. there was a moment there where it actually slightly looked like the bird was done with the post it was going to go for the camera person. it looked like it was coming towards him. mr it looked like it was coming towards him. ~ �* , �* it looked like it was coming towards him. ~ �* , ~ it looked like it was coming towards him. ~�* ,~ stay with us, headlines coming up.

the final decision came last night. i think there's a mass confusion over when people are opening and when they're not reopening. for paula, it means she can reopen her cabins. but with 96% of her customers normally coming from england, there are still spaces. she hopes the bookings will now come. i think people have been literally locked into their homes, and theyjust want to get out, and they just want the freedom of walking and just breathing in the fresh air and see the sea. for now, it's only welsh visitors who can come and enjoy the scenery. tourism trips across the border aren't allowed with people in england being told to stay local over the easter holidays. along the coast at porthcawl, they still expect to be busy. some of the residents are anxious about crowds coming. very nervous. it happened last year. we couldn't even walk along the prom, there were so many people. whilst i understand people wanting to come out, it's daunting if you live here as well.

the welsh government has called on people to be cautious as they take this next small step towards freedom. hywel griffith, bbc news. vaccine passports may only be introduced once all adults have been offered a jab, according to the prime minister. borisjohnson says no decisions have been made on the scheme — which would require people to prove they've been vaccinated before visiting pubs and other venues — but promised an update next month. we're joined by our political correspondent iain watson. good morning. this is something which has been rumbling along. lots of questions have been asked. what is the response to this question, this hint? == is the response to this question, this hint? , , , ., this hint? -- this suggestion. the vaccine minister _ this hint? -- this suggestion. the vaccine minister said _ this hint? -- this suggestion. the vaccine minister said any - this hint? -- this suggestion. the vaccine minister said any idea - this hint? -- this suggestion. the vaccine minister said any idea of. vaccine minister said any idea of using vaccine passports, some call

them, vaccine would be discriminatory. the idea of having to produce something like this to get into a pub does seem to be picking up momentum and there is a review going on. the prime minister hinted that he was in favour of this direction of travel because he set out in detail how the scheme might work. it would not be offered before the end ofjuly when every adult had been offered a vaccine. you might not only have to show vaccination proof or a negative test, even an antibody test to show you have had the virus people and have built up some resistance. a lot is on boris johnson's back —— a lots of resistance. one owner of a big pub chain said the whole idea was bonkers and unworkable. in theatres,

social distancing is difficult. they seem interested in the idea that people can sit side by side safely. if you get a possible or certificate like this, it might allow them to reopen. it is not universal condemnation but there has been a strong and negative reaction. salsa. strong and negative reaction. also, lorry drivers — strong and negative reaction. also, lorry drivers arriving _ strong and negative reaction. also, lorry drivers arriving into _ strong and negative reaction. also, lorry drivers arriving into the - strong and negative reaction. also, lorry drivers arriving into the uk. so far largely exempt from taking anti—vaxxers tests. that is from taking covid tests. that might change. it taking covid tests. that might chante. ., , taking covid tests. that might chanae, taking covid tests. that might chante. taking covid tests. that might chane. ., taking covid tests. that might chante. .,, y., ., ., change. it was said you have to wei t h change. it was said you have to weith u- change. it was said you have to weigh up taking _ change. it was said you have to weigh up taking new— change. it was said you have to | weigh up taking new restrictions change. it was said you have to - weigh up taking new restrictions at the border with disruption it would cause to trade. it has been felt so far that hauliers spend a long time in their pads, they do not mix with people, they could be exempt. now

the industry believes tests could be coming and coming soon. france has lifted its requirement for uk drivers going there to have tests. the prime minister said a third wave could wash up on our shores and there is pressure on him to try to take tougher action, especially as we are finding out these variants of concern are not simply coming from brazil or south africa but via some other countries on the continent as well. he other countries on the continent as well. , . ., ~' , ., well. he very much. -- thank you very much- _ the european commission president ursula von der leyen has said astrazeneca must catch up with vaccine deliveries to the european union — before exporting doses to other countries, including the uk. the warning came after leaders met to discuss vaccine supplies. they blame astrazeneca for delays to the rollout of the jab across the eu, saying the company failed to deliver promised doses. jon donnison reports. with much of europe battling a third wave of the virus, no eu leader wants to appear weak on ensuring the

eu receives its fair share of vaccines. last night the president of the european commission said the eu had exported 21 million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine to the uk in i think it is clear for the company that first of all the company has to catch up and has to honour the contract it has with european member states before it can engage again in exporting vaccines. while the threat of an export ban on vaccines is there, many eu countries are still reluctant to enforce it in practice. a statement issued after a marathon video conference call between the 27 eu leaders stopped short of explicitly backing the commission's call for export restrictions. france's president emmanuel macron

says he backs export controls. german chancellor angela merkel warned it was important to protect global supply chains, a concern shared by the leaders of the netherlands, belgium and ireland. as covid—19 cases continue to rise across much of the continent, tensions over vaccine supply are unlikely to end here. the stranded container ship blocking the suez canal could be stuck for weeks, despite efforts to free the vessel. the ever given has been stranded since tuesday, after being blown off course by strong winds. it is holding—up around £7 billion worth of goods each day, and causing huge tailbacks of other ships trying to pass through the waterway. china has imposed sanctions on nine uk citizens — including five mps and two peers — for spreading what it called "lies and disinformation" about the country. it comes in retalliation for measures taken by the uk government on monday over human rights abuses against

the uighur muslim minority group. the former conservative party leader sir iain duncan smith is one of those facing sanctions. it is one of those, coming up to this weekend, it is a time when a lot of people think about changes. we were talking about changes in wales many people can travel in wales, they can stay at and breakfasts. we were talking about holiday parks. issues about the weather particularly relevant depending where you are in england. some restrictions are easy to do that, outdoor sports, some restrictions are easy to do that, outdoorsports, ithink. the rule of six is back. also stay local, stay home. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather.

you had a really stormy, lightning failed headline behind you. do not be fooled. grab something waterproof. it will be a spring day weather chucks a bit of everything at us, including thunderstorms and hail as well but there will still be some sunshine for that this is where it is raining quite heavily at the moment. this strip of blue across scotland, wales, the western half of england. some pretty squally winds as well. followed by sunshine and a scattering of showers. the weather will change from one hour to the next as we go through the day. with that there will be rumbles of thunder with more persistent rain lingering across east anglia and pent into the end of the afternoon. all of us will see sunshine at some point. —— and hand. a blustery day for us all. the wind will bringing slightly colder air. temperatures

might be a little bit down on what you are feeling at the moment, particularly in the east of england, jumping around seven to nine celsius for the majority in the second half of the afternoon. a blustery end to the day with a view showers around. some of them will be wintry over the hills. sleet and snow could fall in lower levels. if you are a big wake up lower levels. if you are a big wake up to a temporary dusting of snow first thing on saturday morning. a bit of ice around and a cold start. turning milder in the weekend. i will have a full forecast in just over half an hour. back to you both. we have been looking at a remarkable place we have been allowed in. we have had exclusive access to a place

in wales. wockhardt has never allowed tv cameras inside — until now. what about the business that gets it to the doctors and surgeries. we can have a look inside. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin is there for us. this is compelling what is happening. we are seeing the vials, which make a difference to everyone's lives. which make a difference to eve one's lives. ~ , , , everyone's lives. absolutely. this is what we _ everyone's lives. absolutely. this is what we are _ everyone's lives. absolutely. this is what we are talking _ everyone's lives. absolutely. this is what we are talking about. - everyone's lives. absolutely. this is what we are talking about. a i is what we are talking about. a doses in this tiny vial. we are not just talking about that this morning, we are talking about these people who are making it happen. here comes another box of vaccines ready to go out across the uk, straight into the arms are people, who are desperately waiting for it.

we are not allowed to talk to these guys because they are busy at work, saving lives. we can talk to these guys. talk to you in a second. first of all, get your tissues ready. this story is really monumental and it is emotional. have a look at this film. hi, dawn. hi! dawn, do you remember what boris johnson said about these labs? no, i don't. no, i can't think. he said something a bit special. 0h, did he? no, i didn't hear that one. he was very complimentary. was he? i think he said this lab could be a salvation to mankind. that sounds good, doesn't it?

say it one more time. salvation to mankind. yes. wow! wales! on a nondescript industrial estate in north wales, they're manufacturing a vaccine that a year ago we could only dream of. inside is an enormous sense of pride. thank you, guys, keep it up. carl is one of the newest recruits. i started back injanuary this year. you were recruited just to get the vaccine out? just to get the vaccine out. i'm here solely to save the world! before saving the world, what were you doing? before saving the world i was in entertainment, where i'd do fire eating, whip cracking. still a bit of excitement. part of history now instead. how do you feel working here, terry? very proud. this is saving lives.

i'm shattered. working seven days a week to get this out, yeah. - the wockhardt factory has a contract with the government to bottle up any vaccine they send their way. right now it's the astrazeneca jab. the raw materials come in from oxford to this secure area. there is a massive weight of responsibility because obviously we're producing the astrazeneca vaccine for uk distribution, so we know without us there's people not receiving vaccination against covid. these guys have the capability to get out 120,000 doses every hour, but the pressure is constantly on to make it faster and more efficient, to get them out into the population much quicker. so we can't talk to you because you're in the super sterile bit? is it what, sorry?

communication isn't easy! i'm saying we can't talk to you properly because you're super sterile, aren't you? yes, yes. you're actually putting the vaccine in the vials. yes. is it just another day at the office when you're on these lines or not? i don't know. you know. it's hard to explain. but you know you're doing a really good thing. it's very, very important. it's actually quite enjoyable. every vial dawn and her colleagues have bottled end up here to be checked. 60 vials checked automatically every single second. the machine is using a total of 15 cameras to inspect a variety of different angles of the vial. there could be little bits of glass particulate, the fill level might not be right. any defect found by the cameras is checked again by human eyes. but you're checking again, you're notjust throwing them out because you don't want to waste any. absolutely. we can't waste a drop. we've got to get as many

in arms as possible. and every arm it hits is making a difference. the uk's covid vaccines have cut hospital admissions by around 90%. amanda tells me, since she fought covid, she has had no time for the anti—vaxxers. i was very, very poorly. i couldn't walk and talk. i couldn't breathe and talk. it was either one or the other. you feel very strongly that people should get the vaccine. yes, i do, i do. i think if people treated it like was a penicillin. a penicillin has saved no end of lives. polio vaccine has saved no end of lives. this is only doing the same thing. the vaccine for the covid isjust saving more people's lives. this team is one of only 25 manufacturing sites in the world. they're producing a vaccine which came too late for the 2.7 million people who've so far died. being part of this story is seen as a huge honour

by everyone who works here. ravi, can you remember the exact moment the call came in to say you've got it? yes, i do remember. it was a call which actually came into our security office and one of the security guards passed a line to me and said that somebody from the government of the uk wants to speak with you. certainly, as time went by, i started realising that this could be a huge moment in one's life, to make such a big difference to a pandemic which has almost stopped the world. it was in the destiny of this site and destiny of the team working here. in india, we famously say, your destiny is written here, it will happen. probably that's what it was meant to be. and it's really a proud moment.

yeah. do you ever think, none of this is real, it's a disaster movie we're living through? it is, yeah, and here are the heroes. give us your best superhero shot. who's going to play you in the movie, ravi? daniel craig. he comes from chester, sojust the right place! perfect choice. starring? cameron diaz? cameron diaz. i'll go with richard gere. tell me it's got a happy ending. of course. i really will cherish every bit of it. this will stay with me for life.

an absolute age to get the authorisation, the regulation, the validation to bring a piece of kit like that into use, into production. do you know what? that happened just at the moment the approval was given to make the vaccine. lo and behold, the stars aligned, they have the facility here to make it happen but at these guys are doing it. everyone at these guys are doing it. everyone at home will be applauding you. lovelyjust think the at home will be applauding you. lovely just think the gentleman behind you dropping a tray with all the vaccines in. can i ask you one thing? you may have seen this on social media. refrigeration. are you in a cold environment estimate is there refrigeration involved? ear; there refrigeration involved? say that again- _ there refrigeration involved? say that again- i— there refrigeration involved? say that again. iwill— there refrigeration involved? say that again. i will try _ there refrigeration involved? say that again. i will try to _ there refrigeration involved? say that again. i will try to say - there refrigeration involved? say that again. i will try to say it - that again. i will try to say it louder. that again. i will try to say it louder- is — that again. i will try to say it louder. is the _ that again. i will try to say it louder. is the whole - that again. i will try to say it| louder. is the whole building refrigerated? how that work? so it is the pfizer— refrigerated? how that work? so it is the pfizer vaccine _ refrigerated? how that work? 5k it

what about people who are concerned? we know there is likely to be a slowdown in supply. that has been made very clear in the next month, two april. people are thinking, if there is a slowdown, how can we still be on track?— there is a slowdown, how can we still be on track? people should not be too alarmed _ still be on track? people should not be too alarmed about _ still be on track? people should not be too alarmed about this. - still be on track? people should not be too alarmed about this. it - still be on track? people should not be too alarmed about this. it is - be too alarmed about this. it is kind of expected to happen. what is going on is to things at the same time. the demand full vaccine is racking up massively fast. all the different programmes in different countries getting going and we are moving to a stage where it is about limiting supply. in that film, you saw the process of making vaccines is enormously complicated and involves literally dozens, if not hundreds, of different steps. getting the supplies going and making sure all the vaccine is in good quality, good shape and 100%

good quality, good shape and 100% good purity if you like. that will always lead to some delays along the way. we are in a phase where that is accelerating and supply will be racking up over the coming weeks to meet the enormously rising demand. it is not a complete standstill, it is a slight slowdown and things are still moving forward quite fast. tags still moving forward quite fast. as we reach the point where the first nine groups have had theirfirst dose, jcvi presumably is constantly looking at prioritisation and what happens next, has anything changed in terms of what you advise government? has any of the advice changed as we are sitting here today? changed as we are sitting here toda ? , ., ., ,, changed as we are sitting here toda ? , ., ., today? first of all, i think people should be prepared _ today? first of all, i think people should be prepared for _ today? first of all, i think people should be prepared for the - should be prepared for the possibility of changes as we go forward. we will see different vaccines coming through, all of them

are slightly different from each other and i will be different supplies. having said that, at the moment, plans remain very much as we already announced. the priority is to get first doses into phase one done as soon as possible. also to one of the second doses of people who have had first doses of either pfizer or the astrazeneca vaccine and then swiftly move on to phase two. the final announcement around that will be coming in the next few days, i think. that will be coming in the next few days, ithink. it that will be coming in the next few days, i think. it is very much along the lines of what people have already heard about the next phase, age—based. already heard about the next phase, ate-based. , ., , , ., age-based. obviously, the pool now is to tet age-based. obviously, the pool now is to get second _ age-based. obviously, the pool now is to get second jabs _ age-based. obviously, the pool now is to get second jabs into _ age-based. obviously, the pool now is to get second jabs into people - is to get second jabs into people who have had a first and sweep up those over—50s and the vulnerable who have not had then. i was surprised. perhaps you can tell me whether i should or should not have been that one in five people in their first nine priority groups

what thoughts can you offer given what you're hearing about the talk around how that might work? the conce tt around how that might work? the: concept people around how that might work? he concept people should around how that might work? t“t9 concept people should get around how that might work? tt9 concept people should get hold around how that might work? tt9: concept people should get hold of around how that might work? tt9 concept people should get hold of is vaccines, particularly at this stage, now we are moving onto immunising the whole population are notjust people at very high risk is very much a joint effort. it is about driving down the circulation of the virus. people should recognise that the relaxation of the restrictions is something that will happen right across the board for everybody, once you reach a point where the vaccine is doing its job sufficiently effectively, rather than the idea that individual people who have had the vaccine will be treated differently from other people who have not had the vaccine. i think it is an all at once type of thing. the reason things are not rushing forward to certificates to fast is there are plenty of people

who have not been offered a vaccine and it would be very inequitable to restrict them in some way when they have not had an opportunity to get vaccinated. i think at least within the country we will see things relax progressively for everybody, as we all work together to make the vaccines and get ourselves vaccinated.— vaccines and get ourselves vaccinated. ., , ,., , ., vaccines and get ourselves vaccinated. ., vaccinated. professor finn, you can take a moment. — vaccinated. professor finn, you can take a moment, you _ vaccinated. professor finn, you can take a moment, you are _ vaccinated. professor finn, you can take a moment, you are done. - vaccinated. professor finn, you can take a moment, you are done. you| vaccinated. professor finn, you can - take a moment, you are done. you can have a big glass of water and clear your throat. always good to catch up with you. thank you very much. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. croydon council has ended its ban on non—essential spending following a £120 million government bailout. the ban had been in place since the 11th of november, which prevented any new spending except for services legally required for vulnerable people. the bailout is conditional on the council proving it can

improve its finances. london's open spaces have been a vital lifeline for many during the pandemic and ahead of the weekend, royal park bosses are urging visitors to continue to follow social distancing guidelines. they're asking visitors to stick to pathways, keep dogs on a short lead around wildlife and to dispose of litter responsibly. on monday, the rules will be eased which will allow people to meet outside in groups of up to six with one other household. the met police have named a horse after a two year old girl called ava who died from cancer. we featured ava back injanuary, when the met and others made a special visit to her home so she could see some of her favourite animals one last time. officers from the mounted branch visited her mum to tell her about the horse, which may end up as part of a ceremonial team, which can parade for the queen. such a special girl she was, to have such an honour. you know what i mean? to be named, having a horse named

after you, it's not something you'd expect some girl from dagenham to have, you know? you expect some famous person or someone like that, not someone that's, you know, some little girl in dagenham. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there are minor delays on both the piccadilly and hammersmith and city lines. on the trains, there are delays on southeastern and thameslink services into london because of a signal failure at gillingham. and on the roads, expect delays approaching the centre of brixton because of the works on coldharbour lane. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. a very unsettled day today across london and the south—east and a windy start this morning. not terribly cold on the thermometer but feeling chilly in that wind. we've had showers through the night, we start with showers this morning. some sunshine in between but then

later, a longer spell of rain will start to move in from the north and west. that's a weak cold front. before it comes in, temperatures just about low double figures but dragging in some colder air. so this evening, temperatures are going to fall away quite quickly. there will be further showers overnight for a time as well. into tomorrow morning, there will be some drier weather. it will still be breezy and it will be cold to start the weekend. for the day tomorrow, though, there will be some sunshine around, it is mostly going to be dry, a little bit of cloud later on. this weekend is going to be breezy and on the cool side but as we go through to the start of the new working week, things do turn more settled and it will be warming up. and don't forget the clocks go forward on sunday morning. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address.

england's cricketers are one down and so are hoping to level their five match one day series with india. they'll have to do it without captain eoin morgan, who's out with a hand injury. jos buttler is taking over today. buttler won the toss and decided to field. and they have had an early breakthrough. reece topley back in the side, getting the wicket of shikhar darwan. sam curran has just taken a second. a few moments ago india were 37 for two in the ninth over. batsman liam livingstone is making is debut so all eye on him later. next to mixed fortunes for the home nations in world cup qualifying action last night. the question for england was how many they'd score in their opening match against san marino, the world's lowest ranked team. they got five, it could have been double that. but there was a goal on his debut for substitute ollie watkins, scoring with his first kick of the game, while dominic calvert—lewin was twice on target. scotland twice came from behind to rescue a point against austria in glasgow. john mcginn with the goal of the night, an acrobatic equaliser. not a bad result against a team who'd won their last four away matches.

but there was disappointment for northern ireland, losing 2—0 to italy in parma. the italians are now unbeaten in 23 matches. so it was always going to be a massive challenge. the whole of wales will be cheering on scotland tonight as the six nations comes to an end. scotland's trip to france was postponed last month due to a covid—19 outbreak in the french camp. after denying wales the grand slam, last saturday, france can now snatch the title too, if they can score at least four tries against scotland and win by 21 points or more. however the scots have been wound up by all the talk about france being champions and hope to win themselves with a bonus point, which would mean their best everfinish of second. now before the pandemic, triathlon was becoming one of the boom sports for people to have a go at, with more accessible, shorter distances to swim, run and cycle. but the last year has been a write off, even for the elite athletes. sojust like all of us, the sport has had to adapt and come up with a new format that reflects lockdown life and how many of us

are keeping fit at home. it comes to london for the first time this weekend and one of triathlon's most famous brothers, jonny brownlee, is taking part. i went to see him in training, but not in the way he's used to. the great yorkshire countryside, natural habitat of britain's triathlon stars the brownlee brothers. indeed, whenever i've been to see them before, it always involves a run around here. but this time, due to the pandemic, it was very different and strange to find jonny cooped up in his conservatory, training on a static bike and treadmill. but a chance to get racing again. if someone told me that a few years ago, i'd have said absolutely no way. but this year is a new normal and that is the new normal, and to be honest i'm really looking forward to getting back racing and being on a start line. and here's the new normal. many of the world's best, including jonny, competing in a new kind of triathlon. the first arena super league event to be staged in the uk this weekend.

after a successful debut in the netherlands. a competition born out of the pandemic, crossing the virtual world with reality and all indoors. so while the athletes physically race each other in 200 metre swims, the 6k cycle ride sections and the one kilometre runs are done without leaving the poolside. it's short, it's fast and you can get those details of how much power people are pushing out, it's live on screen. what everyone's heart rate is, you can zoom in and see everyone's faces. so you actually get that more closer to an athlete. the indoor training for me is more of a struggle on the training side because i like being outside. but i know it's worthwhile and it has to happen. you basically have to run like a sprinter the whole time. it's not much fun, you sweat out about two litres an hour, you get angry with yourself because your head hurts. the sweat and headaches are also helping jonny prepare for the heat of this summer's olympics. he's got history when it comes to such conditions.

famously wilting just short of the line in mexico five years ago and needing the help of brother alistair. so to help prepare him this time, he's got heaters in his conservatory to keep the temperature around 32 celsius. i have got a fan here for when i crack and i get too hot, i can turn it on, or open a window. so it takes all my willpower not to do that if i'm really hot. but yeah, basically, the secret to training for the heat is to get hot. i hope it's going to be my year. i keep telling myself that i've got bronze and silver, so it's got to happen, hasn't it, really? come on then, mike, it's your turn as well. you can't come all this way and not exercise with me, come on. 0k. because of athletes like jonny, i'm keeping a safe distance here, a triathlon was one of the big growth sports at grassroots level before the first lockdown. in that year alone before the pandemic, over 60,000 people got involved, having a go at one of the brownlee triathlons in schools or one of the go tri events. which have shorter distances to make triathlon events more accessible to everyone. and this is why the sport is heading for a new boom once restrictions are lifted.

there definitely has been more people be active and people wanting to go out and have these kind of challenges and goals and start running again and get fit. and hopefully people can continue, maybe people have learned that that is important to them, you have maybe people learned that there's more balance in their life. it's been a balancing act for all of us during the pandemic and jonny hopes by adapting to his new reality, he could now achieve this summer's sporting goals. watch out forjohnny brownlee and all of the other british athletes, it is in the ribs red button on the website. —— it is on the bbc red button. let's have a look at the weather. all of those people who might be triathlon training or stepping outside, sitting in the garden in a chair, how about that for the weekend?— chair, how about that for the weekend? ., ., , , weekend? that looks lovely behind ou as weekend? that looks lovely behind you as well- _ weekend? that looks lovely behind you as well. some _ weekend? that looks lovely behind you as well. some of _ weekend? that looks lovely behind you as well. some of you _ weekend? that looks lovely behind you as well. some of you will- weekend? that looks lovely behind you as well. some of you will be i you as well. some of you will be able to but _ you as well. some of you will be able to but don't _ you as well. some of you will be able to but don't be _ you as well. some of you will be able to but don't be fooled -

the day, you will see some sunshine but also it will feel cooler than yesterday. temperatures dropping as the showers go through. they will turn wintry through tonight, there could be some sleet and snow to lower levels. one or two of you could have a dusting of snow tomorrow morning. it will be temporary, mainly north midlands northwards, hit and miss. but icy conditions are the greatest risk for most on saturday. temperatures barely above freezing. a cold start, a few showers in the south—west. the best part of the day will be in the west to go out, but then it will cloud over. the breeze will pick up and then outbreaks of rain will develop. tomorrow will be slightly less windy for a time but temperatures only up a degree or so on what we will see this afternoon. at least we will have some sunshine to compensate. then into saturday night, some of you will be camping out, wet and windy for scotland and northern ireland, the rain is

spreading into north wales and north england, and on sunday itself at the top and tail of the country, some breaks in the cloud. some sunshine, and breezy again, but it is from the south—west so it should feel a little less cold. feeling pleasant in the sunshine in eastern england, highs of 16 or 15. even though we will see some rain in scotland and northern ireland into the start of next week, temperature will head up further. if the chill is too much for you, some spring warmth on the way, temperatures up to 20 degrees in the south—east corner particularly into tuesday and wednesday. a quick reminder before i go that the clocks will be changing as we go this weekend, saturday night into sunday, they go forward an hour, a great night for those on the night shift, not so much on the early start. but at least for all of us the sunshine will be a bit later, after half past seven on sunday evening. how quickly does it, how many minutes each week to regain back?

have that appeal within the song. when the only thing you had to worry about was if it was going to be a blue sky. about was if it was going to be a blue s . ~ :, about was if it was going to be a blue s . 9 ., ., , about was if it was going to be a blues .~ ., , ,, blue sky. what it has it been like, when ou blue sky. what it has it been like, when you have — blue sky. what it has it been like, when you have been _ blue sky. what it has it been like, when you have been writing - blue sky. what it has it been like, | when you have been writing during lockdown? — when you have been writing during lockdown? i imagine you are used to going _ lockdown? i imagine you are used to going into _ lockdown? i imagine you are used to going into a — lockdown? i imagine you are used to going into a studio and having lots of people — going into a studio and having lots of people to bounce off of, so creatively, how does it work bouncing _ creatively, how does it work bouncing ideas on zoom with producers, or have you been relying on the _ producers, or have you been relying on the family? no, producers, or have you been relying on the family?— on the family? no, you are bang on ritht on the family? no, you are bang on right there- — on the family? no, you are bang on right there. really _ on the family? no, you are bang on right there. really embracing - right there. really embracing today's technology has been important for me, especially if i was working on other projects outwith the album. so working on a screen, it's quite difficult sometimes because you're used to the power of the collective in the room. but you just kind of get on with it, and you still have the same sense of passion but hopefully that reads through the screen when you are dealing with other songwriters or working on songs through the zooms and all these sorts of things. i

think for me, a lot of time, this has been a very productive time also because you are just try to find new challenges without the constraints that you have a. is challenges without the constraints that you have a.— challenges without the constraints that you have a. is that you, then, a real self-starter? _ that you have a. is that you, then, a real self-starter? you _ that you have a. is that you, then, a real self-starter? you are - a real self—starter? you are obviously— a real self—starter? you are obviously a hard worker but you are very self—motivated as well? because i very self—motivated as well? because i found _ very self—motivated as well? because i found during lockdown, i am not motivated — i found during lockdown, i am not motivated at all to do anything when i'm motivated at all to do anything when i'm not— motivated at all to do anything when i'm not working. motivated at all to do anything when i'm not working-— i'm not working. right! well, here's a thint. i i'm not working. right! well, here's a thing- i might _ i'm not working. right! well, here's a thing. i might talk _ i'm not working. right! well, here's a thing. i might talk a _ i'm not working. right! well, here's a thing. i might talk a good - i'm not working. right! well, here's a thing. i might talk a good thing i a thing. i might talk a good thing here, and say that, yes, i am! a thing. i might talk a good thing here, and say that, yes, lam! i'm sure everybody else in the family would say to me, that's amazing how well you took to doing absolutely nothing. i'm kind of a person who is ok sitting by myself, i don't really mind, i don't really always need to have a structure to my day. i can quite easily whittle away the hours of reading or watching tv. the challenge is not to make it groundhog day and keep a positive
