americans as something they never expected to see happen. so this is quite different in the sense that it was an individual attack but that the person was stopped outside of the person was stopped outside of the grounds, but it still shows that the grounds, but it still shows that the capital building is being targeted by attackers for whatever reason but also a police officer was killed. you've had just three months after that traumatic event another police officer has been killed outside of the capital building, it's also making people here very anxious and nervous about safety. thank you very much indeed. our us state department correspondent there with the latest. ealier i spoke to jordan colvin, a former washington dc police officer, she told me about the sorts of threats that capitol police officer are trained for. capital police are specifically

know, it's a crime scene that they can visit frequently to understand the specifics of the distance, the time, they will have cctv, they will have, i'm very confident that there some sort of camera footage at the entrance they will be able to utilise. at the quick processing is parfor utilise. at the quick processing is par for the course in the district. there was jordan, and there wasjordan, and former washington, dc police officer speaking to us earlier. a minneapolis homicide investigator has said police officer derek chauvin used "totally unnecessary" deadly force when kneeling on george floyd's neck during an arrest last may. he was giving evidence on day five of the trial of mr chauvin, the former officer accused of killing mr floyd. let's hear a little of what lieutenant richard zimmerman, the longest—serving member of the minneapolis police department, had to say. pulling him down to the ground face

down and pulling your knee on his neck for that amount of time isjust uncalled for. i see no reason why the officers felt they were in danger, if that's what they felt, and that's what they had to feel to use that force. our correspondent, lebo diseko, is in minneapolis and sent this summary of day 5 of the trial. today has been very much about the police response. lieutenant zimmerman, one of the longest—serving and most respected officers here in minneapolis telling the court that in his 35 years on this force in minneapolis he has never been trained to kneel on someone's neck, and that's because it constitutes deadly force. also talking about the fact that once somebody is in handcuffs they no longer constitute the same level of threat, and really saying that as a police officer you have a duty of care to somebody once they are handcuffed, and that their safety is your responsibility. now this comes

after a week of really quite gruesome footage that we have seen, new body camera footage from each of the four officers that went out to the four officers that went out to the scene of george floyd's arrest and really seeing the last moments of george floyd's life from the arrest, for when he was on the ground to when he was placed in the ambulance. also seeing footage not seen before from the grocery store which had actually called out the police over the alleged $20 bill. seeing what his demeanour was, the defence for derek chauvin will try and say that george floyd had been under the influence and therefore posed a threat. the footage introduced by the prosecution trying to counter that. i think probably what the biggest impact or what i will take away most from the week's proceedings was seeing all of the witnesses that had been bystanders

talking about the guilt that they still carry with them. the witnesses who said they still pray to george floyd and say that they are sorry to him wishing that they had done more to help him on the scene. also george floyd's girlfriend who took the stand, talking about the life they shared and the loss that she feels in not having him with her any more. and that trial reconvenes in minneapolis on monday, and of course you can follow it right here on bbc news. here in the uk, more than 70 mps, including 41 conservatives, have condemned the idea of vaccine passports for entry into public venues or workplaces in england. the policy, which would mean people showing a certificate confirming their covid status, has been described as "divisive" and "discriminatory". the government is said to be considering testing such a scheme

at several major events. downing street says no final decision has yet been made. our political correspondent nick eardley has more. what would you do to get back in here? in a busy pub again, sharing lunch or a drink with friends. it's one of the questions the government is looking at just now, and whether proof you had a vaccine or a negative test could reduce, maybe even removed, the need for social distancing. i think it's a good idea, but with all things, it needs testing. ijust don't, i don't know. i feel like it would create a division in society, personally. i would love to, - because i work in a pub. some sort of vaccine passport looks likely for international travel, but they're more controversial mystically. a wide—ranging group of mps, including former labour and tory leaders, have spoken out today, warning...

the government will take on board the level of concern about this across parliament and it will avoid what i think would be a huge infringement of our civil liberties and unnecessary. the culture secretary is trying to figure out how more people can get back into theatres like this one in wolverhampton. this is not about a vaccine passport, it is about looking at ways of proving that you are covid secure, whether you have had a test or have had the vaccine. clearly, no decisions have been made because we have to weigh up different factors, the ethical considerations and so on, but it may be a way of getting more people back to doing the things they love and being in fantastic institutions like this. there will be pilots in england in the next few weeks to gather evidence, which could include the fa cup final at wembley. the prime minister will give an update on the government's thinking on monday. over the past year, we have got used

to the government making massive decisions which have a big impact on individualfreedoms, but as society slowly opens up again, we face another big question — is it fair to ask people to prove they've been vaccinated or had a negative test to pop into the pub or out for dinner? if they do happen, domestic vaccine passports would be temporary, and they might not be used everywhere. some devolved governments are yet to be convinced they would be effective. we will also find out more on monday about the government strategy for allowing holidays are gone, which is likely to include a traffic light system, different restrictions based on different prevalence of the virus in each country. we've started getting some of our freedoms back, but the road ahead isn't simple. nick eardley, bbc news. stay with us on news,

still to come: the indian cricket star sachin tendulkar has been taken to hospital, after suffering from coronavirus for more than a week. the uk medicines watchdog has found 30 cases of rare blood clots in people after the astrazeneca jab — out of 18 million doses. our correspondent rebecca morelle says a link between the clots and the vaccine hasn't been proven. these clots are unusual in that they are associated with a low platelet levels, and platelets are a type of blood cell that normally cause bleeding, not clotting. and they can affect the brain. so one needs to be on pictures by the are happening naturally but this clots of because some countries to restrict who they give the vaccine too. so today the netherlands has announced that it is not going to be giving the astrazeneca jab to people under the age of 60, generally germany are doing the same thing. but the uk is

continuing with the vaccine roll—out and the uk regular stresses along with the european medicines agency and the world health organization that the benefits of having a vaccination and the protection offer from coronavirus far outweigh any potential risk. this is news, the latest headlines police guarding the capitol building in washington have shot and killed a man who drove his car into two police officers. one of the officers has also died. at the derek chauvin murder trial the top minneapolis homicide investigator said that once a person was handcuffed, as george floyd was, the threat to an officer dropped. at least 50 people have been killed in a passenger train crash in taiwan. hundreds of others have been freed from the wreckage after being trapped for hours. our correspondent john sudworth reports. the train travelling south from taiwan's capital and along the island's mountainous east coast

was packed with people ahead of what is a long holiday weekend here. as it entered a tunnel, it's believed to have been derailed by a truck that slipped onto the track from a nearby construction site. rescuers worked to free those trapped in carriages ripped apart by the impact. reports suggest that, with almost 500 people on board, many were standing and were tossed about by the impact. "the truck slid off the road and crashed into the train," this rescue worker says. "now, all the front carriages are damaged." passengers in those carriages less damaged by the impact were able to walk to safety. but the mangled wreckage inside the tunnel meant those inside had to use the roof of the train to escape. ambulance ferried dozens of injured

people to local hospitals. "my whole body fell to the floor. "i hit my head and it started bleeding," this woman says. "there was no space on the sides of the tunnel. "we had to climb onto the carriage roof to get out." taiwan's premier, su tseng—chang, visited the scene, while the president, tsai ing—wen, described the incident as heartbreaking. taiwan's state—owned railways are generally reliable and efficient, but with a record marred by a number of fatal accidents over the years. this is being described as the worst in at least four decades. john sudworth, bbc news, taipei. india's cricket legend, sachin tendulkar, has been hospitalised after testing positive to coronavirus earlier this week. the former captain wrote on twitter that he had decided to go

to a hospital in mumbai �*as a matter of abundant precaution under medical advice', and he added that he was hoping to be back home in a few days. our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan sent us this update from delhi. sachin tendulkar tested positive for coronavirus at the end of last week and was isolated at home. now we know that he is moved to in his statement to his fans on twitter he said this was at out of an abundance of caution. and that he hoped to be home in the next few days. so no immediate cause for a serious concern. but given that he is eight megastar in this part of the world with hundreds of millions of fans there are many many people who will be watching his condition very closely. this all comes as india itself is seeing a huge spike in coronavirus cases. in the last 2a hours more than 82,000 coronavirus cases reported in more than 530 deaths.

that's the highest daily increase since the end of last year, since last october. the start of the year cases were falling quite dramatically here in india. and i think a lot of people thought that india was past the worst. officials say that lacks behaviour is to blame for this rise in cases. they are not wearing mask is often, not social distancing and now what we are seeing is this rise in cases. yesterday the government expanded its vaccination program. now anyone over the age of 45 is eligible for a coronavirus vaccine. officials want to make sure that everyone over the age of 45 in these areas where there are high case numbers gets a vaccine in the next fortnight. that is still a tough challenge here. there's still a lot of scepticism around the vaccine here in india. the governments target is to make sure that 300 million people get their first dose of the covid

vaccine byjuly. experts believe that unless the vaccination programme is ramped up quite dramatically that could be quite a tough target to meet. lizzie greenwood—hughes has all the sport. the first major of the year, the inspiration is well into the second round in california. the leaderboard is ever—changing but players are informed so far with mariah. she's been leading but now she's tied for first with another and england prospect georgia hall is one of several players in the clubhouse on five under. the overnight leader tees off shortly. juventus coach andrea pirlo has left weston mckennie, paulo dybala and arthur out of the squad for saturday's serie a game against torino after the trio

sachin tendulkar is in hospital, following a deterioration in his coronavirus symptoms. tendulkar tested positive six days ago after developing mild symptoms but after quarantining at home he's been advised to go to hospital. he's now 47 and is test cricket's all—time leading run scorer. on social media he thanked people for their wishes and prayers and said the decison to go to hospital, was — in his words, "out of an abundance of precaution" and that he hopes to be home in a few days. finally, there was a thrilling one day international between south africa and pakistan in pretoria. pakistan looked to be cruising to their target of 274 thanks to a century from babar azam, but south africa hit back with a flurry of wickets, leaving pakistan needing three off the last ball. they managed it — winning by three wickets to go one — nil up in the three match series. that's all the sport for now. thank you. just to give you an

update. we have now cut the name of the officer who was killed. william evans, who had been officerfor 18 years and the suspect is also been identified as noah green, 25 years old. good evening. well, it's not been too bad a start to an easter holiday. don't take my word for it, however, take a look at this — not a cloud in the sky across western scotland throughout the afternoon. and in actualfact, it has been a different story, though, further east and eastern england. a different story, though, quite a lot of thick cloud and breeze coming in off the sea, so a coolish afternoon in suffolk, and you can see that quite clearly on the satellite picture. now, that breeze is going to continue to drag in some cloud off the north sea through this evening and overnight, so we will keep those temperatures above freezing, but where we've had the clear skies by day, that's going to allow those temperatures to fall away really quite sharply. so, we could see a frost first thing on saturday morning in sheltered rural areas.

so, it's a chilly start, but it's a sparkling start once again. lovely sunshine expected away from the northwest of the great glen across scotland, northern england, wales, northern ireland in particular. and we start off with some cloud through the midlands and into the southeast. hopefully that should thin and break a little into the afternoon. cool once again along the north sea with eight or nine degrees, but we could see highs of 16 in scotland with that sunshine. high pressure will then start to drift its way southwest into sunday, allowing this weather front to start to arrive, and that's going to throw more cloud ahead of that rain as it comes in, so a day of changed fortunes. cloudy and wet in scotland and northern ireland, more sunshine and more warmth across england and wales, particularly eastern england, where we've had that nuisance nagging cloud. as we move out of sunday into monday, though, as those weather fronts sink south, they really are going to open the gate for that colder arctic air we've been telling you about.

it's going to push its way steadily down on a brisk northerly wind. i really mean a marked contrast to the feel of the weather, unfortunately, for easter monday. so, easter monday is the really cool day. sunny spells and scattered showers, some of those showers turning wintry. hail, sleet and snow mixed in there as well. temperatures will struggle on the thermometer, and obviously, you've then got to add in the direction and at times the strength of that wind, so it's probably going to feel more like close to freezing. so, if you're going out for a brisk walk, you'll need a couple of extra layers. the cold theme continues into tuesday, slowly starting to get a little less cold on wednesday, but largely dry. take care.

look out for as well. that's it. take care. this is bbc world news,
