crowds are expected to line the streets, to witness the historic procession. and coming up... we discover a robot that builds other robots. what could possibly go wrong? that's in click, in half an hour's time. good afternoon. care home residents in england will be allowed to have a second regular visitor indoors from the 12th of april, in a further relaxation of coronavirus restrictions. babies and young children won't be counted in the limit, meaning some residents will be allowed to see small groups of loved ones for the first time in months. daniela relph reports. locked down, kept apart from those they love.

the anguish of care home residents and their families began to ease last month as restrictions were gradually lifted. hello, mum. how are you? now more family members will be reunited as residents will be allowed a second, regular, indoorvisitor from the 12th of april. they will include babies and very young children, with those under the age of two not included in visitor numbers. visiting is one of the things that makes life worth living if you live in a care home. it's so important, both for the resident in the care home and also their family members and loved ones who want to visit them. we know that in care homes there may be grandparents or great—grandparents who haven't had a chance to see new arrivals to their family during the pandemic and this will be the chance for that to happen. the enforced family separations caused by covid restrictions in care homes has been agonising for so many. these slow, cautious changes are significant for everyone involved.

it is time for people to be let back in and the difference in my mother's mental health is huge, but not only that the difference in how i feel, you know, also as her daughter to be able to see her. the government says the increase in visitor numbers can go ahead because of a drop in community infection rates, as well as the extensive vaccine roll—out. in line with existing rules, visitors must provide a negative test result and wear ppe. for care homes it is a delicate balance between protecting residents and opening up to family visits. for those kept apart this change is especially meaningful. the full guidance will be published next week. daniela relph, bbc news. we can speak now to clare mann, herfather has been in a care home since the end of last year — he has two great grandchildren — one of who he's not met yet

because of the restrictions. and telling him that he's got new great—granddaughter who he is not met. and then half an hour is gone. until the next visit. it would be so exciting to think that my daughter and my two grandchildren will be able to go around and visit. to have an extra visitor will really help his mental state.— an extra visitor will really help his mental state. how have you manaued his mental state. how have you managed the — his mental state. how have you managed the visits _ his mental state. how have you managed the visits with - his mental state. how have you managed the visits with your i his mental state. how have you - managed the visits with your brother since last year? hat managed the visits with your brother since last year?— managed the visits with your brother since iast year?— since last year? not very well. my brother had _ since last year? not very well. my brother had an _ since last year? not very well. my brother had an accident _ since last year? not very well. my brother had an accident in - since last year? not very well. my| brother had an accident in accident in august. and then he went to rehab. forthe in august. and then he went to rehab. for the first four weeks i was able to visit him at the hospital. —— my father had an accident. and my brother and i were

rebecca morelle has more. the astrazeneca jab has been rolled out across the uk, providing vital protection against covid—19. no link between rare blood clots and the jab has been proven, but the uk medical regulator is investigating. the clots are unusual. they're accompanied by low levels of platelets, which are a type of blood cell. 30 cases have been reported and seven deaths. this is out of 18 million doses, so the incidence is extremely low. now scientists are trying to establish whether the clots have occurred naturally or are very rare reactions to the astrazeneca jab. because something has been reported, does that mean that it's a side—effect? well, if we look at all the side—effects that have been reported, or possible side—effects that have been reported, they include excess wind, alcohol poisoning, getting pregnant. there are so many things people report because they happen shortly

after people have the vaccine — within a few weeks of them having the vaccine. that does not mean that they wouldn't have happened anyway. the medical regulator also reported brain blood clots in two people who'd had the pfizerjab, although without the unusual low platelet levels. some countries are restricting who they're giving the astrazeneca jab to. the netherlands has announced it's not recommending it for people under—60. but the uk vaccine roll—out is continuing. the british medical regulator, along with the european medicines agency and the world health organization, say the benefits from vaccination far outweigh any potential risks. rebecca morelle, bbc news. west midlands police say an 85—year—old woman who died yesterday after being attacked by two dogs suffered multiple injuries. the dogs did not belong to the victim and the property remains sealed off by police. a man has been arrrested and released on bail. anisa kadri reports. flowers laid at the scene

of the dog attack near dudley. police say two dogs from a neighbouring property managed to get into an 85—year—old woman's garden in rowley regis yesterday. neighbours raised the alarm but she was found with multiple injuries. our officers have attended, at which point the dogs had returned through a hole in the fence to the adjacent property and then, unfortunately, despite the best efforts of medical professionals and ourselves, that lady died at the scene. a man in his 40s has been arrested and bailed for further enquiries. police describe the dogs as large and said they were tranquilized and seized so tests could be carried out to establish their breed. police have not yet named the victim but continue to investigate the circumstances of the dog attack. a postmortem is expected to determine the cause of her death on a bank holiday afternoon. anisa kadri, bbc news. clean—up work is under way

after huge crowds gathered in cardiff bay on friday evening, despite coronavirus restrictions still being in place. cardiff council said a significant amount of rubbish had been left by "large groups of people intent on breaking covid—19 restrictions". it follows similar scenes outside the senedd earlier in the week, when three police officers were injured. the covid pandemic has had a devastating impact on many young people's mental health and increased the demand for services that are already under pressure. now, some of those affected from across the uk, are teaming up, calling for more support and to have say in how services are run in the future. our correspondent sian lloyd has been hearing from some of them. i struggled with anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder. i got put on a waiting list, which was about 1k months�* long during which time ijust got worse and worse. and i feel like the sad thing is it's notjust me. this is a common theme and young people tend to only get help

when they reached crisis point. life has now changed for lizzie. she is looking forward to graduating. but at times, she felt let down by the mental health system. and she is campaigning for change. if you go for mental health support and you are told you are not sick enough, it is really, really hard to deal with. it makes you feel really invalidated and really worthless. i think that can then push people into other behaviours, feeling like they need to make themselves worse in order to qualify for the treatment. organisations that support young people's well—being are seeing more asking for help than ever before. during lockdown, online videos and virtual counseling have been a way to keep going. but they warn that the legacy of the pandemic means they will need to expand their services in the future. the lack of their social lives that they had around schools, universities, and also being in a difficult home

environment as well, a lot of young people have been in. there are concerns about domestic abuse and things like that too. and all of these things are increasing the pressure and making things more and more difficult. do you think that there are barriers... these young people, part of a group from across the uk, want decision—makers to recognise their mental health needs as a priority in any covid recovery plan. if we don't solve these problems, then the inequalities that already exist and have been highlighted and exacerbated by the pandemic will continue to grow and young people would just be put at it even worse disadvantage than we are now. there are some fantastic mental health services out there, but they are quite inconsistent. as a young person seeking mental health support for the first time, i was made to feel quite uncomfortable. and i did not feel listen to. if things aren't improved, what is the danger, do you think, for the future? the way i view mental health, it is an unseen pandemic that is plaguing our youth.

like covid, it needs to dealt with now. by speaking up, they hope to shape a better future. some breaking news. we have had a statement from the northern ireland police statements with regards to the riots we saw on friday night. in belfast. riots where the police service of northern ireland said eight people were injured and seven were arrested. they have released a statement saying police were in attendance last evening the friday the 2nd of april one a small local protest quickly developed into a attack on police. a total of 15 officers were injured after enduring in a sustained attack. their angeles

include burns, head and leg injuries. as a result, we have four officers who cannot report for duty as a result. the majority of the people involved were young people. two of the eight people were young boys aged 13 and 1a. by engaging in this behaviour, they were not only risking their safety, they were risking their safety, they were risking their safety, they were risking their futures. risking their safety, they were risking theirfutures. i understand there are significant tensions and unease in some communities, myjob is to keep people safe and i would ask that anyone who has influence in community, parents, teachers, etc, please use that influence to make sure that young people are kept safe and away from home. local communities deserve to be safe and free from violence and rioting. that is a statement from the police after the riots in the sandy row area of

but west brom simply struck again with a delightfulfinish from callum robinson. five minutes later, the baggies went 4—1 up when mbaye diagne added his name to the scoresheet after a flowing counter attack. mount pulled one back for chelsea, but robinson claimed his second as west brom made it 5—2. it's thomas tuchel�*s first defeat as chelsea head coach. ican i canjust i can just say we were absolutely not able today to adapt to the situation, to be one man down, which was a surprise because we were leading. we are normally confident enough to defend with nine players on the field. we had to counterattack when we were one man down, but we were sloppy and we did not stop making big mistakes and we were punished. obviously they were down to ten men, conservatively so. in the end he got

you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport i will have more in the next hour. the uk has launched what will be the world's largest ocean monitoring system to protect wildlife and biodiversity. the world's first network of underwater camera rigs is being rolled out across the british overseas territories and once operational, the systems will allow the territories to observe and manage ocean wildlife in their diverse ecosystems. professorjessica meeuwig is the director of the centre for marine futures at the university of western australia. she's also a conservation fellow of the zoological society london. thank you so much forjoining us. let me ask you first of all, how exactly is this going to work? well, it is actually — exactly is this going to work? well, it is actually quite _ exactly is this going to work? well, it is actually quite simple. -

exactly is this going to work? well, it is actually quite simple. we - exactly is this going to work? -ii it is actually quite simple. we put two simple action cameras, go pros on a frame and deploy them in the ocean and they float for two hours and we recover them and then we observed the video and i identified, count and measure all the animals we see and that will create a benchmark for what the ocean looks like at this place in this point in time. the important thing is new management comes into play, we can then say is that management working as we protect these areas, are we seeing recoveries in ocean wildlife. the point is not only to give you information but to help you steer policy in terms of how you are managing wildlife underwater. absolutely. do you keep —— the uk has authority to manage their

underwater wildlife. and we want to provide them with evidence of their ocean wildlife and how their management is going. that is actually the really exciting part of the fact that this is a transfer of technology and information. this way they can chart their course to support ocean outcomes, positive outcomes. ~ , ., support ocean outcomes, positive outcomes-— support ocean outcomes, positive outcomes. ~ ., ., outcomes. when you say managing the ocean, how outcomes. when you say managing the ocean. how do — outcomes. when you say managing the ocean. how do you _ outcomes. when you say managing the ocean, how do you manage _ outcomes. when you say managing the ocean, how do you manage it? - ocean, how do you manage it? traditionally we have not done a very good job with that which is why ocean wildlife around the world is basically on a down world trajectory. what we can do is we can put in place marine protected areas andindeed put in place marine protected areas and indeed the uk is committed to protecting 30%. by putting

protection into some places you can allow animals to thrive and to recover. that is one really important part. the other part is at the same time, we all enjoy seafood, seafood is an important... thing for lots of people in terms of what they eat and also theirjobs. so we need to make sure that we take care of our blue economies at the same time. getting that right by actually knowing what we have in the ocean, how they are tracking, is a really big part of this programme. you talked about _ big part of this programme. you talked about managing the oceans in terms of conservation, what state are our oceans in today? do you think? what is the reality? a, lot are our oceans in today? do you think? what is the reality? a lot of the overseas _ think? what is the reality? a lot of the overseas territories _ think? what is the reality? a lot of the overseas territories are - think? what is the reality? a lot of the overseas territories are in - the overseas territories are in really good shape. that is largely because they are remote areas where

there is not a huge human impact. if you look at the oceans overall, it is actually pretty dire. fortuna, they are on a downward spiral. oceanic sharks like hammerheads are all in trouble. again declining in abundance. every year we have1 billion kg less of catch and are ocean of fish. the trends are not good and we should not pretend that they are. and that is why this programme is really important and the 30 by 30 is part of helping to reduce those negative trends. and when you know what you have and it's status, that gives you a really good basis for making informed, evidence—based decisions. basis for making informed, evidence-based decisions. correct me if i'm evidence-based decisions. correct me if i'm wrong. — evidence-based decisions. correct me if i'm wrong. but _ evidence-based decisions. correct me if i'm wrong, but this _ evidence-based decisions. correct me if i'm wrong, but this will _ evidence-based decisions. correct me if i'm wrong, but this will document i if i'm wrong, but this will document marine biodiversity in ten areas?

crowds are expected to witness the lavish pharaohs' golden parade, as it is called. 18 kings and four queens being transported in gold coffins, amid great fanfare, in chronological order of their reigns. security will be tight, befitting their royal blood and status as national treasures. dr monica hanna is an egyptologist and is the acting dean of the college of archaeology and cultural heritage at the arab academy in aswan. she explained the significance of the parade. i think it is the first time in the 21st—century, but they have been moved previously because they were discovered in luxor and then they took a boat to cairo. they were first at the bulaq museum. then they were moved to the giza museum. to a tomb and then the cairo museum in 1937, and now they are moved to hopefully their final destination at the national museum of egyptian civilisation. i think they are still in

temperature and climate controlled cases, they are being moved in the cases. the bodies are not interacting with the atmosphere. they have also levelled the roads, so they would not have any bumps or any problems going around and again this is not the first move for the royal mummies. they have moved before and even we have the mummy of king ramesses ii travelled to france because it needed conservation labs there, so it is not impossible to move them. it is... ..the first time we do itjust in the 21st—century. the suez canal authority says the last ships stranded by the grounding of a giant container vessel have now passed through the waterway. more than 400 ships were left waiting at either end of the canal when the ever given became stuck almost two weeks ago. the authorities have opened an investigation into the incident — they say its results will be made public early next week.
