and a scaled back easter sunday, although the choir was able to perform here. while at the vatican, the pope called for vaccines to be shared with the world's poorest countries. and coming up... the media show. the government is to trial measures in england, including covid passports, to allow the safe return of sports matches, major events and nightlife. they'll show if a person has been vaccinated, had a recent negative test or has antibodies. the pilot will include the fa cup final, and will last until mid may. here's our political correspondent, jessica parker.

the fa cup final, 2019. it won't be so packed this year, but the final is being used to pilot how these kinds of mass events might work in future. the opportunity to get back to full capacity, i think, is something that is so prevalent at the moment and underpins so many of the hopes that the events industry and the entertainment industry has, so this scheme, we feel, is the right way to go. plotting a path to reopening society, trial events will also look at ventilation as well as testing before and after, along with so—called vaccine passports, an idea that has met some resistance. it would be proportionate and it would be time limited. but we're just looking at these as options at the moment, hence the pilot programme. it is a pilot programme, we will be testing these options and the evidence gathered will then help inform long—term decision—making and government policy.

vaccine passports or covid status certification could include proof someone has been vaccinated, had a recent negative test, or has natural immunity through having had covid in the last six months. getting into places like pubs won't require certification for now as they look to start reopening. the system also won't be used in shops or on public transport, but after warnings, including from some tory mps, it could be divisive. there are logistical questions. how will it work, with an app or also a paper version? and then there's real ethical questions as well about will i have to pay for the testing if i haven't been vaccinated or haven't had that opportunity? so still a lot of open questions. questions, too, about how holidays abroad might work once they are legal again. there will be more details tomorrow on a risk—based traffic light system. for now, people are still being

advised not to book foreign trips. well, earlier i spoke tojess, who said ministers have been on a journey over covid passports. they used to talk about vaccine passports, certainly within domestic settings, in that way, and then there was a sense that it was becoming inevitable they might become necessary on an international setting. because if countries are saying, "if you want to come here, great, but we'll need proof of a vaccine." and now, as society begins to reopen, it seems the government has reached a point where it thinks it but be necessary, in order to have these big events where social distancing might not always be possible — i think to try and allay some of the concerns that absolutely do exist, including among their own conservative mps. they're emphasising it won't just be about whether you have had a vaccine. it will be about testing as well, and if you might have some natural immunity,

as it's being called, because you've had covid in the last six months. but i think a lot of practicality still need to be worked out, and details as well. overnight, there was confusion as to exactly which venues on this list over the next couple of months would be trialling what. so i think they are still ironing out a few things. i mean, the civil liberties argument�*s been around for decades, hasn't it? i suppose the government, especially the prime minister, doesn't want to portray this as id cards by the back door? i think that is one of the main concern of some mps as well, and some of them described it as potentially a checkpoint society. interestingly, though, a lot of the focus in recent weeks has been on the idea of pubs. would you need to prove your covid status by going into a pub? and that seemed to antagonise some people. pubs is not in this trial. we're told pubs will not be included. for now — they're not ruling it out down the line in any certification scheme. perhaps another attempt to soften this a little bit in terms of their critics. but i think ministers have moved, as you say, and if you look at borisjohnson's ideological

background and his politics, i think it's not a natural place for him or some of his senior ministers to be. and they have spoken out against it before. but they have seemingly changed their mind. is the tech ready? and just on the travel, because you ended your piece with travel being told not to book any holidays yet, the prime minister's giving a press conference tomorrow, isn't he? are we expecting an outline then of the countries which might be moved onto this green, amber, red list, or is that still further down the line? i don't think we'll get a list of countries. we're being told it's too early to predict which countries will be on which list over the summer. whether we're talking about the international situation or we're talking about this situation, we're not talking about something that's going to happen next week or the week after. we're talking about stuff that's going to happen in a little while to come. but they are going to go into further detail about this traffic light system that we've heard before — essentially as sort of risk register that they'll apply to different countries, and depending where you might travel in future, you'll have to abide by different rules when you come home — depending how big the risk

is from that country. more details expected from the prime minister tomorrow, both in terms of the domestic and international situation. so, as we've mentioned, the government's planning to conduct a series of trials which will allow people to go to large public events in england, if they've had a coronavirus jab or they can prove they're immune or clear of the disease. let's speak to the ceo of the night time industries association, michael kill. in liverpool. nice to speak to you. you are part of this trial project. are you pleased to be involved, it doesn't go far enough? flat are you pleased to be involved, it doesn't go far enough?— are you pleased to be involved, it doesn't go far enough? not so much. we are very — doesn't go far enough? not so much. we are very much _ doesn't go far enough? not so much. we are very much working _ doesn't go far enough? not so much. we are very much working alongside | we are very much working alongside dcms. we are aware of the events research programme. we have been aware for some time. we've also been inputting in terms of the trials.

from our perspective, we feel it's a great start and there are some great pieces of data that can be gained from these pilot schemes, but we feel, particularly in our industry, that there are many nuances and it is not a one size fit all. these pilots will i believe give us some fantastic data, but we need to push on and engage further to try to look at further pilots that would give us at further pilots that would give us a greater understanding of the broader spectrum of environments, encompassing the night—time economy and nightclubs. you are in hampshire. and nightclubs. you are in hampshire-— and nightclubs. you are in hampshire. and nightclubs. you are in hamshire. ., , and nightclubs. you are in hamshire. . , _ hampshire. that you were pleased by the trial at the _ hampshire. that you were pleased by the trial at the circus _ hampshire. that you were pleased by the trial at the circus nightclub - hampshire. that you were pleased by the trial at the circus nightclub in - the trial at the circus nightclub in liverpool. but of course different nightclubs will be in different scenarios in terms of the number of people, the ventilation, everything else. is that what you are more concerned about? it

and barcelona, and their people were asked to social distance and to keep their masks on. after about the first two tricks, it all came off. i think there are some challenges. part of this is about customer behaviour. it is about mitigating measures and it is also about testing capacity. and the logistics surrounding that. i think, as a first tranche of pilots, it is a very good start. it is very wide—ranging. it does encompass a lot of very different environments that overlap. as you can appreciate, looking at nightclubs and those different types of spaces that we represent, i think there is more work that needs to be done and more consideration giving some of the challenging environments we are talking about.— challenging environments we are talkin: about. . ~ , ., , . talking about. thank you very much indeed.

in the past hour, jordan's deputy prime minister, ayman safadi, has been detailing allegations against prince hamzah — the half—brother of king abdullah. he said the prince and others had been involved in plot to destabilise jordan that was linked to foreign parties. the statement comes after prince hamzah released a video saying he had been placed under house arrest. he also accused jordan's leaders of corruption and incompetence. prince hamzah has denied any wrongdoing in a video passed to the bbc via his lawyer. this is a little of what he had to say. i this is a little of what he had to sa . . this is a little of what he had to sa , ., ., , ., this is a little of what he had to sa . ., ., , ., ., say. i had a visit from the chief of staff of the _ say. i had a visit from the chief of staff of the jordanian _ say. i had a visit from the chief of staff of the jordanian armed - say. i had a visit from the chief of. staff of the jordanian armed forces staff of thejordanian armed forces this morning, in which he informed me that i was not allowed to go out, to communicate with people, or to meet with them. because in the meetings i had been present in, on social media relating to visits, there has been criticism of the government or the king. i asked him if i was the one criticising, he said no. he said, but this was a

to rise in germany, many health experts are calling for an immediate lockdown. but angela merkel — who's urged regional leaders to introduce tougher restrictions — is facing stiff opposition. jenny hill reports from the city of marburg. spring has brought some life back to germany. but it has also delivered soaring case numbers and a confusing variety of restrictions. sandra is open for business, but her cafe is closed, her takings down by 80%. marburg is a tourist town, she says. "it is a big problem. they are a large part of our turnover and at the moment they cannot come. we plan from day to day, week to week and in the evenings we watch what the politicians decide." those politicians are watching marburg, too. biontech claim their new factory here will be able to produce 1 billion doses of vaccine a year.

good news for germany, which has givenjust 12% of the population a first vaccination. and astrazeneca's roll—out is restricted to the over—60s. weary, frustrated, angela merkel wished germans a happy easter. she wants regional leaders to impose tougher emergency restrictions, but they are resisting. leading the rebellion, the man widely expected to succeed mrs merkel when she steps down later this year. armin laschet says he will think about it over easter. for the mayor of marburg, the time for reflection is over. translation: in the short term, it would be the right thing to do, | given that infection rate is rising exponentially. but in the long run, we need a different strategy.

a long—lasting lockdown is unbearable for the people. a survey suggests that most germans would support a lockdown, but they also reveal that this country is getting fed up. as you can see, it's not nice. one could say devastating that we are not getting out of the situation. i think england, withjohnson, is currently doing better in vaccinating their people to be more pragmatic and to get at least the first vaccination done. people ask what has gone wrong for germany. some point to inflexibility, a reluctance to adapt structures, but many more blame its political leaders who have been unable, unwilling to agree a common strategy. it has cost lives and, come this september's elections, it could cost angela merkel�*s conservatives another term in office. easter is being celebrated around the uk and across the globe. the easter service at canterbury cathedral took place with no congregation due

to covid restrictions. justin welby encouraged people to ensure charity and international aid are maintained, as the country emerges from the pandemic. and the pope's easter message concentrated on the victims of the coronavirus, calling for an end to vaccine delays and a call for their distribution to poorer countries. daniela relph reports. last year, at the height of the first lockdown, the easter service came from his kitchen table. today, the archbishop of canterbury, masked for the procession to the altar, brought easter back to canterberry cathedral. the adults must be socially distanced. those leading the service also had to abide by covid protocols. and the easter address drew on the experience of the past year.

we can go on as before covid, where the most powerful and the richest gain and so many fall behind. but we have seen and known where that leaves us. or we can go with the flooding life and purpose of the resurrection ofjesus, which changes all things and we can choose a better future for all. in rome, there were no pilgrims filling st pieters�*s square on easter sunday. eerily empty, in a country that has partially returned to lockdown. the pope took mass and gave his global easter blessing inside saint pieters�*s basilica to reduce congregation. he also focused on covid.

translation: | urge the entire i international community, any spirit of global responsibility, to overcome delays in l the distribution of vaccine, - and to facilitate their distribution in the poorest of countries. for those that have not gone to church today, there have been online services, the way so many have worshipped over the past year. this is another easter sunday that feels so different. it's been a glorious day. we keep the sunshine across the southern half of the uk into the evening, but further north the winds are picking up. we've got cloud and rain that will sweep southwards as the winds continue to strengthen. the showers will turn to snow across northern parts of scotland. widespread frost in scotland, perhaps into north—west england. patchy mostly rain, a bit of wintriness. then it is a sunshine

and wintry showers following. showers moving into northern ireland. wintry showers down those north west coast. most of the rain and snow will be falling in northern parts of scotland. many denied areas dry with sunshine. it's windy everywhere, and the winds gusting 70 mph northern scotland. at on the strength of the winter, it will feel probably a bit more like the middle of winter.
