sports can also restart. andy swiss has been finding out what it means for one team of footballers. on the stroke of midnight it was back. and whether it was a spot of nocturnal golf or a moonlight cycle ride in derbyshire, they clearly couldn't wait. after months of lockdown, outdoor sport in england is finally up and running. this morning, the country was a hive of activity. in manchester, this walking football team hasn't been able to play since november, but after so long away, at last. it’s after so long away, at last. it's amazing- _ after so long away, at last. it's amazing- lt's _ after so long away, at last. it�*s amazing. it's brilliant. it's boredom. just to get out and have the company, the exercise as well, really good for everybody. we are chatting on what's up all the time, we were on countdown, two weeks to 90, we were on countdown, two weeks to go, one week to go, we stayed in contact which is good. for everybody 's will be in- —

delayed but that of course will depend very much on people continuing to follow the rules. so we will see the familiar slogan, hands, face, space, even more defined including the words of fresh air and when the weather turns they don't want all of us rushing indoors so there will be a campaign talking about the risks of spreading the virus if we are inside. the government is hoping therefore that they will be able to stick to the road map, able to unlock further on april the 12th, hairdressers and nonessential retail and so on but the future of international travel still remains up in the air. this is pencilled in to resume on the 17th of may but there is currently a review being undertaken, it will report next week and it could give us more clarity on when that might happen, there are fears about the third wave on the continent, lapping up third wave on the continent, lapping up on our shores and the labour party today calling for more widespread use of hotel quarantined to keep the nutrients out. small steps towards freedom today but a giant leap, we will have to wait

quite a bit longerfor giant leap, we will have to wait quite a bit longer for that. iain, thank you. our health editor hugh pym is with me now. we were talking about the third wave in europe. that is what is fuelling concern for ministers?— in europe. that is what is fuelling concern for ministers? yes, health officials in the _ concern for ministers? yes, health officials in the uk _ concern for ministers? yes, health officials in the uk will _ concern for ministers? yes, health officials in the uk will be _ concern for ministers? yes, health officials in the uk will be studying | officials in the uk will be studying very carefully what happens in european countries. particularly whether the south african variant is spreading fast. because there is a little bit of concern about how effective vaccines might be against that's south african variant, it has been seen in certain communities in the uk but the spread seems to have been largely curbed for now. which is why the decision over allowing foreign holidays that was referred to is so important, getting that right, allowing people to have a holiday but at the same time, just being very careful about whether there is a risk of bringing virus transmission back into the uk at a faster pace, particularly the variant. look at the number of daily

reported cases in round five and a half thousand, back to where they were in late september so that is a pretty big drop on the peak we saw injanuary and february but pretty big drop on the peak we saw in january and february but that being said, they've remained fairly static for the last week or so. which doesn't seem to suggest there is any continued downward move but there is this disconnect now between cases and hospital admissions, people getting seriously ill and some of them not surviving. officials say that is because of the successful roll—out of the vaccine. so although cases are bumping along at that level, hospital admissions are down considerably, more than 20% week on week, death numbers down nearly one third week on week. because of that vaccine effect. hugh, thank you. and the prime minister will lead a news conference on coronavirus this afternoon. it will be held at the new media briefing room at no 9 downing street, and we'll have live coverage on bbc one and the bbc news channel.

researchers say a single dose of either of the two approved covid vaccines being used in the uk gives substantial protection to elderly care home residents. the study also found that residents who did fall ill were less likely to pass on the virus. here's our health correspondent, jim reed. all elderly care home residents in the uk were offered a first dose of a vaccine by mid—february. a large proportion, 94% have taken up that offer so far. now though we've seen the first real world data showing just how effective those jabs are. the study which is not been reviewed by scientists looked at data from more than 10,000 english care home residents between december and march. one vaccine dose alone was effective at preventing 62% of covid infections five weeks after that appointment. the effect was similar

for both the pfizer and astrazeneca jabs. for both the pfizer and astrazeneca 'abs. . ., . ., , for both the pfizer and astrazeneca 'abs. _, . .,, ., , jabs. the concern was always with the vaccine _ jabs. the concern was always with the vaccine work _ jabs. the concern was always with the vaccine work as _ jabs. the concern was always with the vaccine work as well _ jabs. the concern was always with the vaccine work as well in - jabs. the concern was always with the vaccine work as well in this i the vaccine work as well in this particular population group? because they are very frail. and so it is reassuring that we see the signs of effect but of course it's only one dose and we need to see what happens after two doses and also the really important question about how long people remain immune. iflare important question about how long people remain immune. care homes have been hit _ people remain immune. care homes have been hit particularly _ people remain immune. care homes have been hit particularly hard - people remain immune. care homes have been hit particularly hard in - have been hit particularly hard in this pandemic. around one third of covid deaths have been elderly care home residents so the news thatjust a single vaccine dose is effective in that group will come as a huge relief to those working on the front line. �* , , ., , , relief to those working on the front line. �* , , . , , . line. it's extremely reassuring. we are much better— line. it's extremely reassuring. we are much better placed _ line. it's extremely reassuring. we are much better placed than - line. it's extremely reassuring. we are much better placed than we . line. it's extremely reassuring. we i are much better placed than we were, people are feeling a little more relaxed about enabling families to be visiting, conscious that it's still out there in communities and we have really got to make sure that we have really got to make sure that we can build on this rather than

an operation to re—float a giant container ship which has been blocking the suez canal for the best part of a week is nearly complete. the ever given was partially freed by a fleet of tugboats, and is now waiting for the tide to rise for it to be moved further. richard galpin reports. a fleet of tug boats finally managing to pull this huge ship into a position where it no longer completely blocks the suez canal, which is one of the world's most important shipping routes. the operation has been going on night and day, dredgers needing to remove 30,000 tonnes of sand to free the ship. and it has now been partially refloated, but big problems remain. unfortunately the bow of the vessel still remains firmly lodged in the suez canal side, so the operation now is to try and pull that out. at the moment they've got dredging operations going underneath and a lot of tug power try to pull it out, but it seems that it is still very much partially stuck.

there are now long queues of ships trying to get through the suez canal. it is estimated 400 are stuck in the area. this map shows just how congested it has become, and the canal is estimated to carry between 10% and 12% of all global trade. the shipping logjam is already having an impact in europe where the ever given was destined, some businesses now running short of supplies. we've got six containers that are on the sea, at the wrong side of the suez canal. the reality for us is, we are a fun gift business which means that our product isn't critical, but there are a lot of critical products and essentials on those vessels, so things like furniture, bikes, and components forfixing machinery. and other problems lie ahead. the ships that are waiting are going to exit the canal roughly at the same time so you are going to be passing on that congestion to the ports when they eventually arrive,

so we are going to see a lot of congestion work its way through the supply chain. it is going to take several months with this disruption to clear itself. this is one of the worst logistical crises the suez canal has faced and it is not over yet. richard galpin, bbc news. our top story this lunchtime. the first major easing of lockdown in england — as the covid stay—at—home rule comes to an end and outdoor sports restart. coming up... three weeks after reopening, we go back to a school in the middle of a covid outbreak. and coming up on bbc news, the government says venues will be even better prepared to welcome back fans this time around. up to 10,000 supporters will be allowed back in stadiums from the 17th of may. nearly a year after the death

in the us of george floyd, the trial of the white policeman charged with his murder — derek chauvin — gets underway later this afternoon. the police officer was filmed by passers—by in minneapolis kneeling on mr floyd's neck for more than nine minutes. the incident sparked outrage, and global protests against racism. lebo diseko reports. a life memorialised by a community that cannot forget. the pain of what happened here almost a year ago is still visible. this is where george floyd lay dying, a policeman kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes as mr floyd repeatedly said, "i can't breathe." today that former officer, derek chauvin, goes on trial for george floyd's death. he is charged with two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter. at first, minneapolis police said mr floyd had been resisting arrest. but the video seemed to tell a different story. chauvin was arrested.

the images of george floyd on the ground begging for his life ripped open america's unhealed wounds on race and how black americans are policed. people took to the streets in cities across this country, sparking the biggest protest movement since the civil rights days. the events engulfed the white house and reverberated across the world, forcing a global reckoning on racism. nojustice, no peace! prosecute the police! for people in minneapolis, the start of the trial brings both hope and trepidation. this is not the first, you know, incidence of police brutality that has never seenjustice, so i'm optimistic, but also i don't

notjust for the bait of in america. so much hinging on it not just for the bait of the family of george floyd and how they move forward from this, but obviously for the accused derek chauvin but also for race relations in america and the whole fabric of american society. we will get in a couple of hours the opening statements from both sides, we will hear the prosecution making the case that derek chauvin, his actions brought about the death of george floyd. they don't have to prove that he intended to do it, theyjust have to show that he had a substantial contributing factor to that. the defence of course will be arguing that george floyd had pre—existing conditions are met things about his own life that made it more likely, that contributed to his death. we are expecting the whole trial to go on for around four weeks. the jury has been chosen. it is a pretty racially diverse jury. we are

expecting there to be around six white people and six people of african—american or mixed race background is on thatjury which is unusualfor background is on thatjury which is unusual for minneapolis and minnesota which is a largely white state. so much turning on what happens here in the next four weeks. america holds its breath. gare. america holds its breath. gary, thank you. _ america holds its breath. gary, thank you. gary _ america holds its breath. gary, thank you, gary o'donoghue i america holds its breath. gary, i thank you, gary o'donoghue there. a police helpline is to be set up to help deal with claims of sexual harassment and assault made by school pupils. police have warned of a tsunami of allegations after thousands were posted online. danjohnson is here — so a helpline, why? to encourage the conversation about the culture in certain schools and the culture in certain schools and the behaviour and the attitude of some boys towards girls and young women and it is to make sure that instances of abuse, harassment, assault are now reported and dealt with because it is clear there has been lots of this happening and yet young women haven't felt able to come forward or know who to speak to, haven't been able to bring this

up to, haven't been able to bring this up until website, everyone's invited, was set up last year. there are more than 6000 anonymous accounts of their of things that happen to girls of schools, some girls as young as nine. that is why the senior police officer who has responsibility for this as this could be larger than any of the previous national scandal is that we have seen and are already protest about the way that some schools have failed to respond to this perhaps over many years now. although the first account seems to come mainly from private schools, it does spread much further, raising issues for all sorts of education establishments, and some have already launched their own investigations but there is a call for a bigger independent inquiry to get a grip of exactly how widespread this is, why it has been ignored for so long and how it can now be put right. have a listen to robert elstone, the conservative mp who chairs the parliament education select committee. —— robert halfon. some young boys are arriving

in school with attitudes that don't treat their fellow pupils, female pupils, with dignity and respect, quite the reverse. what on earth is going on in our society that some male pupils arrive at school that way? we need to ask these questions and there aren't any easy answers, but clearly there is responsibility at school, absolutely, but there is also a responsibility at home as well. the labour leader keir starmer has just backed that goal as well and it is clear there are deeper issues to examine here about behaviour, culture, boundaries and respect and young men's attitude towards sex and pornography, there have been previous attempts to reform sex education at schools which failed, there was resistance, also attempts to bring in age verification for pornography, there are practical explanations but a lot to work out about culture here.— a french pharmaceutical company

has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, over a drug which was linked to hundreds of deaths. the company produced a drug called mediator, a treatment for diabetes and weight loss, for more than three decades, despite warnings about side effects. it withdrew the drug in 2009, saying it was not until then that it learned it could cause serious heart problems. the security forces in mozambique say dozens of people three weeks ago, we filmed at a primary school in lincolnshire which, like thousands of others, was reopening to all pupils after lockdown. but since we visited, covid has swept through the rural community. danny savage has been back to find out. just under three weeks ago, you could feel the relief, humour and happiness as huttoft primary school reopened after lockdown. this is it. it's not going to happen again. we are back, and hopefully it will be forever. now things are very different. there are no pupils and no teachers,

not even key workers' children. the school is closed. covid has gone through this community, collapsing every bubble. yeah, it's pretty devastating. it's something that we never expected... even the head teacher is self—isolating at home. we talked on a video call. up until this point, we had two cases in school. we actually lost four days, that was all, four days since september, and it's come back with a vengeance, and it's not something that we anticipated. i don't think we were complacent, we had got everything in place, we weren't naive about the threat, but actually this has hit home quite hard. at the start of this month, we saw bobby being dropped off. it was like starting school all over again for this four—year—old. applause he's now back at home learning. his mum still has to work, and is thoroughly fed up. gutted, really gutted, yeah. i think it's just that's

the new normal now for him now. is that the worry, that long term this willjust keep repeating? yeah, yeah. i think this is something we are all going to be living with now for the next year, just getting used to the bubbles closing and reopening and closing, sojust something to prepare for in the future now. lots of schools have had cases of covid since they reopened, but few have had to close completely like this one. but it just shows that schools have a bumpy year ahead, because they are full of people who are not vaccinated. the hope is that the easter holidays will be a firebreak and give everyone a chance to isolate and recover. then the children and staff will be back. danny savage, bbc news, huttoft in lincolnshire. a few weeks ago we told you about the uncertain future being faced by park lane stables in london, a venue which is a lifeline for the local community, including disabled riders.

but a successful campaign to raise more than a million pounds to save it has changed all that. today, the stables has reopened to the public, and fiona lamdin has been to meet the happy riders. singing. it's an annual tradition. now safely secured for years to come. on palm sunday, woody, who is playing jesus, rides marcus through the streets to the local church. well, i'm not a horse rider but the stables are absolutely amazing because they're really, really inclusive, especially for people living with disabilities. just walking up the road and seeing them clip—clopping along, you know. it'sjust lovely. just lovely. but last month, these stables were due to be sold. the community had a week to raise half £1 million. 350 disabled people are relying on us so i absolutely have to do it for them. what a difference 2a hours makes. phone rings. all day, the money just kept coming in.

by phone. in person. and online. it's our pleasure. so kind. they had just seven days to raise the rest of the money. and unbelievably, by mid—morning, they had done it. today's total is £1.5 million, enough for the stables and a field. six weeks on, the money and the letters are still coming. this one says, "i'm ten years old, i have "autism, i'm donating my pocket money because i love riding." than this one from a 90—year—old who says she is donating her pension. hi, louis, i'm really happy to say we're open again so i'm calling to see if you wanted to come along on wednesday? as of today, organised outdoor sports in england can restart and these stables will welcome back its 350 riders. one of those is 13—year—old zac, who has learning difficulties. i love riding. do you love riding? yeah.

zac comes every week or every other week and it's one - of the highlights of his week. we talked about it and he asked me, "are we going riding?" _ and nine—year—old louis has down syndrome, all his family use the stables. the prime minister made it clear about lockdown, meaning i couldn't see my teachers, couldn't see my friends. it's coming back now and we're getting back in school. and you're going to get to go riding again? and i'm going to go riding again, it's like change now and... are you happy? yeah. yeah? could you come at nine? it'll feel better because we know that we can stay here forever. they went into lockdown terrified they would lose it all. but as they reopen today, their home is safe with their stables saved. fiona lamdin, bbc news. time for a look at the weather — here's stav danaos.
