good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. a trial of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine in children has been paused while an investigation takes place into whether the jab is linked to rare blood clots in adults. leading scientists urge the public to continue getting the jab, saying the benefits far outweigh the risk. there are risks of getting sick or dying of disease for all people currently being offered first and second doses are far and away greater than any small theoretical risk that may exist relating to these cases, which are extremely

rare. lifting the shutters on the new shopping experience. good morning. big—name retailers are set to extend their opening hours from monday. but i look at why consumer retail therapy could cause a headache for smaller shops. liverpool lose in the champions league, but manchester city find a last—minute winner to take the advantage over borussia dortmund. from a palatial yoga studio to a pub in the back garden — we'll look at the runners and riders for shed of the year. good morning. it's a frosty start to the day to day but it won't be as windy as yesterday so it will not feel quite as cold, although there are still some wintry showers in the forecast and later some patchy rain coming into northern ireland. i will have all the details in ten minutes. it's wednesday the 7th of april. our top story. a trial of the oxford—astrazeneca covid vaccine on children has been temporarily paused — while the uk regulator investigates concerns that the jab may be causing rare blood clots in a tiny number of adults. the pause is voluntary —

and none of the 300 children involved in the trial has suffered a clot, as our medical editor fergus walsh reports. there you go — all done. nearly 300 children aged six to 17 are taking part in the astrazeneca vaccine trial in england, which began in february. oxford university said there'd been no blood clots in the volunteers but — out of an abundance of caution — it had stopped vaccinations, pending the outcome of the safety review in adults. more than 18 million people in the uk have received the astrazeneca vaccine. the mhra said last week there'd been 30 rare cases of blood clots, including seven deaths. the prime minister visiting an astrazeneca plant in macclesfield once again gave his firm support for the vaccine. the best thing people should do is look at what the mhra say,

our independent regulator — that's why we have them, that's why they're independent. and their advice to people is to, you know, keep going out there, get yourjab, get your second jab. as a precautionary measure, the mhra updated its advice last month to say that anyone with a headache that lasted for more than four days after receiving the astrazeneca vaccine, or bruising beyond the site of the jab, should seek medical attention. both of the vaccines we're using are highly effective against covid and the risks of getting sick or dying of covid for all the people currently being offered first and second doses are far and away greater than any small theoretical risk that may exist relating to these cases — which are extremely rare. this could be very much compromised if people think that this isn't being taken seriously, that this isn't being examined in great detail. but i think individuals have difficulties in sort

of understanding risks and perceptions, and seeing this in relation to other sorts of illnesses or diseases or outcomes. the astrazeneca vaccine is central to the huge success of the roll—out ofjabs in the uk, which is way ahead of the rest of europe. france has restricted the astrazeneca vaccine to adults over 55 — germany, to those over 60 — because of concerns about blood clots in younger adults. the european medicines agency and the uk regulator are due to give updated recommendations in the next day or two. maintaining public confidence in this highly effective vaccine will be vital. fergus walsh, bbc news. the coronavirus vaccine made by the american company, moderna, will be administered in the uk for the first time today.

the roll—out will begin in carmarthen in west wales. the uk has ordered 17 million doses of the vaccine, which has been shown in trials to prevent nearly all infections. it will be used alongside the pfizer and astrazeneca jabs. the welsh government has described its arrival as "another key milestone" in the fight against the virus. a comedy club has pulled out of a trial to test how venues can operate safely when lockdown ends — after receiving thousands of abusive messages. the hot water comedy club in liverpool says it was falsely linked to a scheme to test vaccine passports, leading to what it describes as a "hate campaign" on social media. a government spokesperson said they "strongly condemn" the online abuse the club received and clarified that participants in the trial would only need to provide a negative covid test — not proof of vaccination. researchers say that people diagnosed with covid—i9 are at greater risk of developing psychological and neurological conditions, such as depression, psychosis and stroke. the team from oxford university

examined the health records of more than half a million patients in the united states. here's our health reporter rachel schraer. coronavirus breaks into our cells and multiplies wherever in the body it finds itself. that's why it causes such a wide range of symptoms from the lungs, to the gut, to the brain. the team at the university of oxford looked over half a million patient records in the us to see if conditions affecting the brain were more common in those who'd had covid. they looked at 14 conditions including anxiety, depression and psychosis, stroke, brain haemorrhage, and dementia. all of these conditions were seen more often in people who'd had a covid infection in the previous six months. but these conditions all have very different causes. it could be that in some people the virus actually gets into the brain and causes some damage. it could be the way your body is reacting to the virus, produces a sort of immune inflammatory response that, again, contributes to the problems. and for other people, it may simply be a psychological effect, if you like,

of the stress that having covid and thinking what might happen to you next is the important factor. the study couldn't prove the virus itself was definitely causing the changes, but patients recovering from covid were more likely than similar people who'd had flu or another infection to develop a psychological or neurological condition. and the sicker coronavirus patients had been, the more likely they were to develop these complications. rachel schraer, bbc news. doctors have been told not to prescribe painkillers to people suffering from chronic pain that has no known cause. the national institute for health and care excellence says there's little to no evidence that treating people with paracetamol or opioids makes any difference. it says people should be offered a range of therapies including exercise, acupuncture or anti—depressants instead. britain's electricity system was the greenest it's ever been at lunchtime on easter monday, according to the national grid operator. sunny and windy weather,

coupled with low demand, meant almost 80% of britain's power came from zero—carbon sources. no coal was in use and just 10% of power came from gas. the duke of cambridge has paid tribute to nhs workers during the pandemic — describing the institution as "probably the most admired organisation around". prince william and kate have taken part in a series of video conversations with medics across the uk in recent months and in the latest, the duke praised their "wonderful" efforts. good morning. hello, i'm will write? i want to sell— good morning. hello, i'm will write? i want to sell on _ good morning. hello, i'm will write? i want to sell on behalf— good morning. hello, i'm will write? i want to sell on behalf of— good morning. hello, i'm will write? i want to sell on behalf of everyone i i want to sell on behalf of everyone what a fantastic job you i want to sell on behalf of everyone what a fantasticjob you have done. he held it together. so many wonderful people. it's been a real team effort but we are all very proud of you.

a seal that had a plastic ring stuck around its neck for two—and—a—half years has finally had it removed. the animal — named "mrs vicar" — was rescued from horsey beach, near great yarmouth. she's being cared for by the rspca, who say they're hopeful she will recover — but that she will need treatment for a "number of months". the united states is facing a shortage of tomato ketchup. heinz — which produces the most popular brand — says it's been unable to keep up with demand for sachets of the sauce. it's been driven by a surge in takeaway food during the pandemic. that is a tragedy! it is the little ackets that is a tragedy! it is the little packets because _ that is a tragedy! it is the little packets because they _ that is a tragedy! it is the little packets because they don't - that is a tragedy! it is the little l packets because they don't want that is a tragedy! it is the little - packets because they don't want to share tomato ketchup. do packets because they don't want to share tomato ketchup.— packets because they don't want to share tomato ketchup. do you have tomato ketchup _ share tomato ketchup. do you have tomato ketchup with _ share tomato ketchup. do you have

fitting rooms are reopening. but if you like to confer with a pal on a new purchase — i'm afraid that's only allowed if they're in your bubble. some good news if like me you've been wedging the kids' feet in to old shoes — john lewis are resuming kids feet measurements. this is important. to try and stagger visits, retailers are allowed to open until 10pm on monday to saturday. primark is one of the retailers who says it will be doing just that. that is fine for big names, but less easy for small independents. they'll have to be extremely careful how they allocate staff and resources. this is kate who runs a gift shop in kent. the shop is ready to go. there's a few more last—minute things to do, but everything is totally covid—secu re. i've got lovely hand sanitiser, i've got screens, i've got masks. i feel ready this time. it's a lot less scary than it was lastjune. i think there's going to be a little lift, i think things are going to be quite busy. i am really going to take this opportunity to extend my shop opening hours.

i'm going to do the same day—to—day, but i will be opening on sundays. so, yeah, i'm just really looking forward to getting back into it and getting stuck in. good luck! a big part of the challenge is keeping staff safe and ensuring they're not overworked. we also know that abuse towards retail staff has increased over the pandemic — which is also a worry. these are the workers who kept the country going in what has been probably the worst period from the second world war, and it's shown these individuals — who are normally low—paid — the cinderella industry in some respects is now coming to the fore. and i would urge those now — those shops that are opening now — the non—essential stops, that customers treat these workers with respect. are you excited to get back to the shops? are you worried about safety? let us know. i'm going to be speaking to two independent shop bosses a bit later. this is one of the many areas where

it is different depending on where you live. 0pen it is different depending on where you live. open from monday in england and wales, scotland some nonessential retail is only open but they have to wait till the 26th and like pub and restaurant we are still waiting on northern ireland so it is staggered across the uk.— waiting on northern ireland so it is staggered across the uk. thank you very much- — staggered across the uk. thank you very much- we _ staggered across the uk. thank you very much. we will _ staggered across the uk. thank you very much. we will be _ staggered across the uk. thank you very much. we will be talking - staggered across the uk. thank you very much. we will be talking about it throughout the programme. thank you. let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian leads with a plea from the prime minister, urging people to keep getting vaccines, after a trial of the jab for children is paused while regulators investigate concerns around blood clots. the daily telegraph's front page features a suggestion from a member of the government's immunisation advisory committee who says vaccines should be paused for under—sos to boost public confidence. the daily mail says affordable holidays could be on the horizon within weeks, as it reports that the prime minister has asked officials to look into using quick and cheap lateral flow tests, rather than costly pcr tests for travellers. trending online are tributes to the friday night dinner actor paul ritter — who died after a brain

bbc breakfast, 6:20am. thank you for joining us. the past year has been a challenging and sometimes isolating time for many of us, as our usual ways of seeing family and friends have been put on pause. the latest figures by the office for national statistics — released later — are expected to show a rise in the number of people facing loneliness as a result of the pandemic. breakfast�*s john maguire reports. hello. there you go. thank you. was it all right? yes, all right today. once a week, maria calls in on sue to deliver some shopping, to chat and to catch up. my birthday today. i know — happy birthday! thank you. isolation and loneliness have been some of the cruellest effects of the pandemic. it's been very hard. yeah. and what's been the hardest aspect for you, would you say? not seeing my friends, not seeing anybody. and i've usually got quite a good social life — i belong to u3a, which is something all over the country where you can go to groups.

and, of course, that had to stop. it's not right to be locked up in your house and not see anybody else, really, is it? what are you most looking forward to over the next few months? well, when we... when businesses open, like cafes and pubs and different things, i'm looking forward to seeing friends. maria is one of the 400 volunteers from a group called love devizes who signed up to help vulnerable people in the town before the first lockdown. some people haven't seen anybody for a year — not properly. apart from the people doing their shopping or if they have to go to the doctors or something, they haven't really been out. and... it's... you know, you just chat to them as long as you can, um... but it's very isolating. i think some people have gone downhill, as well, you know — their physical health — because of that sort of lack of purpose. covid — and the restrictions

on society designed to tackle it — have meant many people not usually isolated have faced loneliness. my mood has been low — very low. loneliness is a very strange thing — i've never, prior to this, _ encountered any loneliness. i've always been surrounded by people, very busy. - and then to spend 12 months i without human contact isjust... yeah... it's been hard — very hard. this lockdown in particular was the first time that i've been affected by the lockdown in terms of work. i've been working from home. so that in particular has been harder because i've not had that day—to—day connection with people, with my colleagues. so these last few months have been particularly hard. i mean, i've got good support from work and things like that, but the last few weeks have been and have been

particularly difficult. good morning, love devizes. how can we help? 0h, hello, there. i wonder if somebody could do some shopping for me, please. yeah, of course we can. back at the love devizes office, volunteers viv and michael are helping people who telephone in. so how are you doing at the moment, peter? 0h, not so bad, you know? bit fed up of all this shielding, i've got to be honest. been doing it over seven months now. have you really? people have started to come out of certain restrictions, _ we start to uncover where people haven't got the infrastructure i you and i would take for granted — you know, either friends - or neighbours — some lonely people. you peel back, you know, | devizes is a brilliant town, it's a great community. but if you peel back- the veneer of that town, there are people who are lonely. so we just feel that we want to, in a supportive, in a gentle i way, give that support. some of the most vulnerable or frail in our society have been forced indoors by the pandemic. but in communities right across the uk, there are people

prepared to open doors and to help those most in need. john maguire, bbc news, wiltshire. we are talking about loneliness later in the programme. any thoughts on that, please get in touch. still to come on breakfast... is that your doll? yeah! we'll meet the little girl who inspired a doll designed to help children learn about down's syndrome. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the coronavirus pandemic is leading to delayed grief with restrictions prolonging the process. that's according to one counselling provider in east london which says it's been helping more people than ever before. the muslim bereavement support service says restrictions mean people haven't been able to say goodbye properly.

we are so busy now. we have women coming to us that have lost a few members of their family within a short space of time. there is a family that, you know, we are aware of that came to us and they buried their father, and their brother at the same time. so these are unusual circumstances, you wouldn't normally see that. drivers in large cities are being urged to think twice before buying a large suv. new research shows most are bought by urban drivers with three london boroughs, kensington and chelsea, hammersmith and fulham, and westminster, topping the list. the rac foundation has questioned whether the big sports utility vehicles, also known as chelsea tractors, are needed as a run around in cities. a musician from croydon is running workshops teaching young people how to rap. bhishma asare, known as proph, hopes the project will encourage youngsters to see rap as a way of expressing themselves when facing challenges.

let's take a look at the travel situation now... 0n the tubes there are minor delays on the district and metropolitan lines. the piccadily line is part suspended bewteen rayners lane and uxbridge. tfl rail is part closed between liverpool street and stratford. over 40 bus routes across west, south west and south london operated by london united have been disrupted because of industrial action. so do double check your route. it's busy on the a11 between stepney and mile end, that's due to temporary traffic lights for gas works, in hornsey, turnpike lane is closed between the tube station and st marys school for repairs to a burst water main. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's another cold, frosty start to the day. temperatures in some of our rural spots down as low as minus three celsius. it should stay dry all day, it won't feel quite as cold

as it did yesterday, that's because the wind is coming in from the north and north—westerly direction, not quite so much added wind chill through today. the wind isn't as brisk. some sunshine around through the morning and then into the afternoon there will be a bit more cloud developing and top temperatures of around eight or nine celsius. so a slight improvement there. as we head through the evening and overnight, it will be cold and frosty at first, with some clear skies around. then we will drag in some slightly milder air on a westerly wind as we head into the start of the day tomorrow. so it is a milder start to the morning than we are seeing at the moment. tomorrow with that westerly wind, temperatures could get into double figures, maybe. there will be some spells of brightness and sunshine but a bit more cloud around than today. a short spell of rain on friday will lead to a cold northerly wind and temperatures dropping again. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning. from peaky blinders themed bars to custom—built yoga studios. we'll meet the people hoping to take home the prize for shed of the year. we'll say hello to jason isaacs, who's hosting a harry potter themed quiz to raise money for the british red cross. and we'll both take our socks off for the challenge that involves dunking your feet in ice cold water for 92 seconds. all in aid of the mnd association. i don't know what's worse, doing the challenge of having to take our socks off! it's outside, going to be cold! . socks off! it's outside, going to be cold! , ., ., , cold! the first thing that was said to me this morning _ cold! the first thing that was said to me this morning when - cold! the first thing that was said to me this morning when i - cold! the first thing that was said | to me this morning when i walked cold! the first thing that was said i to me this morning when i walked in was, have you clean your feet? to me this morning when i walked in was, have you clean yourfeet? i have, thankfully. i was, have you clean your feet? i have, thankfully.— was, have you clean your feet? i have, thankfully. i always keep my feet! it wasn't _

have, thankfully. i always keep my feet! it wasn't me _ have, thankfully. i always keep my feet! it wasn't me that _ have, thankfully. i always keep my feet! it wasn't me that asked. i we've been hearing a lot this morning about the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, and how a trial which is researching its effectiveness on children has been paused. let's talk more about this and other issues with one of our regular gps, doctor william bird. good morning, great to speak to you as ever. let's start with that pausing of the trial. what is your take on that? i will be aware a lot of people are watching this morning waiting to see what you and other experts have to say about this and there is probably understandably an element of concern about it. yes. element of concern about it. yes, there is an _ element of concern about it. yes, there is an element _ element of concern about it. yes, there is an element of _ element of concern about it. yes, there is an element of concern, i there is an element of concern, people are seeing these figures coming out that these clots, cerebral venous thrombosis, the one they are worried about, it is very, very rare, between ten and 15 per million people normally. we arejust seeing a little bit more of it with the oxford astrazeneca at one compared to the pfizer one. so there is that debate, it is caused by the

vaccine or is itjust the fact is that debate, it is caused by the vaccine or is it just the fact that it is in the background? we know it is also much, much higher in people who have got covid, we must not forget that. even people who have asymptomatic covid, it will be a much higher rate of this, and that has been published in the last six months, well before this worry came up. at the moment we would go with the agency saying, it is absolutely fine to have the vaccine. we know the risks of covid, everyone says this, it's much, much worse. let's look at that. if you got a clot in your lung or a clot in your leg, one is called a dvt, the other is called a pulmonary embolus, each of those are 7% to 11% in covid. if you don't have a macro, it is not .1%. so those —— if you don't have covid, it is a 0.1%. so those clots are hugely

elevated if you have covid. if you get the vaccine, there are no increases in dvt if you have the vaccine so we are talking about a very very small risk, very small, and we don't even know if it is to do with the vaccine. if you get covid, a massive risk. so i think thatis covid, a massive risk. so i think that is the best way to look at it. when you talk to your patients about risk management, that's a good way of putting it, are you getting more patients saying, is there a chance that i could have this vaccine instead of the oxford vaccine? there is a conversation, _ instead of the oxford vaccine? there is a conversation, and _ instead of the oxford vaccine? there is a conversation, and i _ instead of the oxford vaccine? there is a conversation, and i have - instead of the oxford vaccine? there is a conversation, and i have to i is a conversation, and i have to say, some people have said, can i have this one all that one? some people say, the messenger rna one from the pfizer one, we haven't had that child —— that in trial over ten years, the oxford astrazeneca one is much more familiar as a type. now we

are going to get the moderna one which is coming out in the next few weeks which is almost identical to the pfizer one. unfortunately we have no say in it, what we are given is what we are given and as far as we know, and what the evidence is, they are the same in every way of effectiveness but also in the side effects. the agency will come back in the next couple of days to say why they stopped that roll—out for children. the children, it is very different. we are talking about much younger people here. people over 50, which i am part of, that doesn't seem to be an extra risk to them at all. ~ , ,., ~' seem to be an extra risk to them at all. . , ., seem to be an extra risk to them at all. ~ ., all. we spoke to the vaccine minister nadhim _ all. we spoke to the vaccine minister nadhim zahawi i all. we spoke to the vaccine - minister nadhim zahawi yesterday, he said that the moderna is arriving from the third week of april, ten days' time, in england. do you think where we might get to a situation whereby, when we are vaccinating down into the lower, younger age

groups, that there are certain vaccines that are assigned to those ages? could that happen? it vaccines that are assigned to those ages? could that happen?- ages? could that happen? it might ha en but ages? could that happen? it might happen but as _ ages? could that happen? it might happen but as the _ ages? could that happen? it might happen but as the evidence - ages? could that happen? it might i happen but as the evidence connects, some vaccines are better for certain age groups, we might know that at the moment it will be dished out as they get it, i can't remember how many millions it is coming through, but they will be used to fill up some of the capacity where we need that, when it is beginning to slow down a bit. but i think it will be allocated to whoever. as we are moving down now into the low 50s, the moderna vaccine is probably going to be high up on the list and the chance is you will get that. so far that one has not been use that much compared to the other ones but it should be similar to the pfizer. the roll—out of the moderna vaccine starts in wales today. ijust the roll—out of the moderna vaccine starts in wales today. i just want to know about the way the vaccine

roll—out is going from your perspective. the vaccines minister saying that's top nine priority groups would be hopefully sorted out by the end of next week, all getting the first jab. by the end of next week, all getting the firstjab. is that on track form what you are seeing? it the first jab. is that on track form what you are seeing?— what you are seeing? it is, it has been brilliant, _ what you are seeing? it is, it has been brilliant, really. _ what you are seeing? it is, it has been brilliant, really. so - what you are seeing? it is, it has been brilliant, really. so much i what you are seeing? it is, it has i been brilliant, really. so much hard work and we forget actually that when you go down into the nitty—gritty of who is... the delivery person, the people in the practice, the receptionist filling in the forms to get people in, phoning people up, chasing people when there have been extra vaccines, making sure that not a single one is wasted, the whole paraphernalia, not just the nurse who gives you the vaccine who is right at the end of the line, but all the people who have been working beforehand. it's been brilliant, it really has. i don't think i have had a single complaint of people saying, i went to... for us it is the majority stadium in reading or the

racecourse, i went in there, got the jab, rested for a little bit, had my appointment for the next one and off i went and everyone has said it has been really well done. it has been a fantastic success, on track, and it looks like we will get every adult by the end ofjuly which is great. great to talk to you. is that a bit of snow on the roof behind you or that frost? it’s of snow on the roof behind you or that frost?— that frost? it's really cold, -4 outside. _ that frost? it's really cold, -4 outside, it's _ that frost? it's really cold, -4 outside, it's actually - that frost? it's really cold, -4 outside, it's actually frost i outside, its actually frost outside. i'm about to go out on a run, of course, iwas outside. i'm about to go out on a run, of course, i was hearing about the cold feet and i really thought, this is not the morning for cold feet! . ~' , ., this is not the morning for cold feet! . ,, , ., ., ., this is not the morning for cold feet! . ,, ., ., . ., this is not the morning for cold feet! . ~ ., ., . ., feet! thank you for that! we are so lookin: feet! thank you for that! we are so looking forward _ feet! thank you for that! we are so looking forward to _ feet! thank you for that! we are so looking forward to it! _ feet! thank you for that! we are so looking forward to it! it _ feet! thank you for that! we are so looking forward to it! it can - feet! thank you for that! we are so looking forward to it! it can be i feet! thank you for that! we are so looking forward to it! it can be a i looking forward to it! it can be a doctor's letter now, an excuse, we don't need to do it! apparently no chance. thank you very much, doctor bird, enjoy your run and take care. carol will have a weather update. i managed to time i i got home three

minutes before a blizzard yesterday. —— | minutes before a blizzard yesterday. —— i managed to time my runner. i totally forgot to mention the champions league yesterday, because it was such a busy time yesterday, the masters, it passed me by! it was a mixed night for the two english teams in the champions league. the six time winners liverpool were beaten 3—1 at real madrid in the first leg of their quarter final but there was drama at the etihad stadium where manchester city scored a last minute winner against borussia dortmund asjoe wilson reports. liverpool versus real madrid, history versus dynasty. 19 times between them, they've been european champions. 13—6 to the spaniards, if you're keeping that score. real madrid are rebuilding theirstadium, playing in their training complex right now. a pass with architect's perfection to viniciuer. stand by for another. kroos looped over a similar pass and liverpool could not deal with it. they really could not deal with it. 2—0 before half—time.

would liverpool wilt or resist? what they needed was this, mo salah onside. just one behind. but turn your back for an instant... now, first leg 3—1 isn't the tie won, but they look like the genuine madrid. erling haaland was playing against manchester city. next season, he might be playing for them, or anyone with money. well, he's borussia dortmund's for now. and anyway, do manchester city really need someone else? here was the kind of slick team attack which has swept by all opponents recently, to give them the lead against dortmund. now, haaland showed his strengths. not quite with the shot, but it was his pass which seemed to turn things. a late equaliser. not quite late enough. still time for city, for foden, for 2—1, and for that feeling. joe wilson, bbc news. there's one more side still in the champions league.

chelsea play porto tonight, having lost for the first time under manager thomas tuchel at the weekend. they were thrashed 5—2 by west brom and tuchel revealed that there was a serious clash between team—mates kepa arrizabalaga and antonio rudiger in training the next day. they are all competitors and want to win training matches. so things got a little too heated up and the reaction was not ok. but the reaction to it, how the guys handled the situation — especially toni and especially kepa — was amazing and showed, like, how much respect they have for me and for each other because they sorted it out directly. there was no... they cleared the air immediately and this was the most important, so there was nothing left one day after. norwich look almost certain to go straight back up to the premier league. they thrashed huddersfield 7—0 at carrow road, teemu pukki scoring a hat—trick. and that takes them eight points clear of watford at the top

of the championship. today is the deadline for the 12 host cities for this summer's european championship to let uefa know how many fans will be able to attend games safely. scotland take on the czech republic in their group opener, one of four matches that will be played at hampden park, and scotland's first minster nicola sturgeon is optimistic about the return of supporters. you know, we're still in a global pandemic. i can't stand here in early april and give absolute 100% guarantees forjune on anything, really — that's not the nature of what we're dealing with. but i am very, very hopeful — hopeful that i might be at hampden to cheer on scotland in the european championships and we'll continue to work as hard as we can to make that happen. there'll be one big name missing when the masters gets under way tomorrow, and that's tiger woods, who's still recovering after his car crash. he's been an inspiration to many players, none more so than his friend rory mcilroy, who recently learned a big lesson about how woods managed

to win as much as he has. i went over to tiger's house a few weeks ago to see him. and in his family room he's got his trophy cabinet. and it is his 15 major trophies. and i said, "that's really cool, where are all the others?" he was like, "i don't know." "what?" he goes, "yeah, my mum has some, there's a few in the office, and a few wherever." so then i went, i was driving home and i was thinking, i mean, he thought that, right, that's all he cared about. all he cared about. so how easy must that have felt for him to win all the others? if all he cared about was four weeks of the year, the other stuff must have just been practice. 0nly have just been practice. only four weeks of the year matter to tiger woods, take what you will for that! and finally, it's the start of cricket's county championship tomorrow. but the conditions in durham yesterday wouldn't really have put anyone in the mood for a summer of leather on willow. 20 degrees last week, then this! most of us have experienced some changeable weather recently.

here's hoping things have settled down by the time we're allowed to go to matches again. warning, slippery wicket! that was just unbelievable. gosh. and you guys are going to go out there and put your feet insome icy water on a day like today, rather you than me. water on a day like today, rather you than me— water on a day like today, rather ou than me. . ~ ., , you than me. talking about the gulf, the champions _ you than me. talking about the gulf, the champions dinner— you than me. talking about the gulf, the champions dinner was _ you than me. talking about the gulf, the champions dinner was last i you than me. talking about the gulf, the champions dinner was last night, they left a seat for tiger woods, an empty seat. bud they left a seat for tiger woods, an empty seat-— empty seat. and the sign at the entrance says, _ empty seat. and the sign at the entrance says, champions i empty seat. and the sign at the entrance says, champions only. j empty seat. and the sign at the l entrance says, champions only. it must feel amazing to go in there. you can only go in if you have a green jacket. you can only go in if you have a greenjacket. the person who you can only go in if you have a green jacket. the person who won the year before gets to choose the menu and dustinjohnson, you can literally have whatever you like, so he had pigs in blankets and lobster and corn fritters, house salad or caesar salad, and then the side, mashed potato and spring vegetables, main course, filet mignon with

in from the atlantic late on, something a little bit milder. a cold and frosty start but a fair bit of sunshine around. showers in the south—west pushing away, wintry showers across scotland, coming down the east coast, a few in the west, many will fade. cloud building through the day as well so cloudier than yesterday. having said that, some brighter breaks as well and some brighter breaks as well and some sunshine. later on in the day, the weatherfront coming some sunshine. later on in the day, the weather front coming in from the west introduces some patchy rain to northern ireland and we will start to see some other coming our way. so tonight, some clear spells, there will be some early frost in the west, before all this cloud moves in, bringing its rain across parts of wales, northern england and scotland, preceded by snow in scotland, preceded by snow in scotland to lower levels, we could see some in the pennines as well. ahead of it, there will be some frost by the end of the night, more likely to be in the south and east. as the cloud comes in, temperatures will rise. where we have the cloud

and rain, we will have five and six, not quite as for you. as we head through tomorrow, low pressure dominating the weather across the north of the country, starting to take the wind from more of a south—westerly direction, milder than the north—westerly then we have had. a weather front sinks southwards taking its rain with it. again tomorrow, a tevita cloud around, blustery wind in the north, and behind this some snow showers —— and behind this some snow showers —— a fair bit of cloud around. temperatures back into double figures for most. but it will not last, that weather front sinking southis last, that weather front sinking south is a cold front so you can see its passage heading southwards. still mild in the south, but back into that wintry northerly in the north during the course of a friday. so here is the weather front bringing patchy rain with it and the cloud as it sinks sales but hanging on to milder conditions. behind it,

a fair bit of dry weather and sunshine but you can see that wintry showers and in the north of scotland some of those will be getting down to lower levels. six in aberdeen by friday, 11 as we move down towards the south—east. as for saturday, still a lot of dry weather around. a weather front just getting still a lot of dry weather around. a weather frontjust getting across the south—east. the positioning of the south—east. the positioning of the rain could change, it could be a bit further south, a bit further north, so if you have outdoor plans on saturday, keep checking the weather forecast. on saturday, keep checking the weatherforecast. it on saturday, keep checking the weather forecast. it will be a cold start, some frost around and still wintry showers around as well. but in between we will see some sunshine. the weather very changeable in the next few days, especially so the temperatures. could you change it by 8:30am when we have to go outside? filth. could you change it by 8:30am when we have to go outside?— we have to go outside? oh, louise! or 'ust we have to go outside? oh, louise! 0rjust bring _ we have to go outside? oh, louise! 0rjust bring a _ we have to go outside? oh, louise! orjust bring a heater— we have to go outside? oh, louise! orjust bring a heater or _ we have to go outside? oh, louise! orjust bring a heater or a - we have to go outside? oh, louise! orjust bring a heater or a kettle. i 0rjust bring a heater or a kettle. at the moment it is about —2. i5 orjust bring a heater or a kettle.

year building a yoga studio for his wife, mel, in the back garden. it's been incredibly enjoyable, hugely satisfying to be able to stand in the kitchen window and look down and see something that i've created myself is just fantastic. the finished studio has underfloor heating, wi—fi, sound and vision. it's allowed mel to do her classes online. mel started doing yoga to help her cope with postnatal depression. it's been a huge saviour for me. and if i can help transfer that to others, then fantastic. what would it mean to you if you were to win shed of the year? it would be crazy. to have created this and thenjoin the shed pantheon would be fantastic. it really would. to see it on a computer and develop it into 3d and show me what could be...

amazing. it's absolutely incredible. i couldn't be more proud. and eternally grateful. it's really quite tremendous, yeah. we always knew that the first name for the bar had to be something to do with peaky blinders, and that's why we called it mick and sue's peaky blinders. the fact that sue is actually in love with cillian murphy. he's a good—looking lad, isn't he? got to say that. cheers! mick and sue's peaky blinders shed pub has been a lockdown labour of love. it helped the whole family get through the last year. having the kids here with us all through the lockdown meant that we could all support each other

and we could all love each other. and we knew we were all safe. and we knew, you know, most of all that we were playing by the rules, which was very, very important to us. it's been an escape away from the house, to come into here just to chill and relax and feel as though you're in a different world, basically. and when the bars do open up again, we don't want to go out. we're happy here. we're happy staying in our own bubble here and socialise in this way. seeing patients go through covid has been very challenging. it affects you every day you come home from work. and you absorb that. so it's about how do i manage myself, and prepare to go in the next day and do it all again? so, hence, the shed.

diane's shed has become a haven from the outside world. she is a frailty nurse caring for patients in care home. it sort of puts things in place, and you can just say a relief and say, right, i can do this again tomorrow, i can go back into work with that smile on my face and nurse my patients. it's a bit of a joke with my son, my teenage son, who says, "where's mum?" to dad, and dad says, "oh, she's away with the fairies". it'sjust, yeah, it's a comfy, cosy place to be. i call it scribbles, i do scribbles in my shed. i'm not an artist, you know, i'm nowhere near, but it'sjust that mindfulness if you like ofjust doing something that i enjoy that i can just distract from everyday, what's going on in the world. how do you feel about being on the shortlist for shed of the year? it's a bit mad!

i'm quite honoured, actually, because it'sjust a humble ten by eight shed. yeah, it's a really weird feeling, actually, shed of the year. but it's just my cosy space. lots of questions about that. when is a shared not shared? i lots of questions about that. when is a shared not shared?— is a shared not shared? i think the rules need — is a shared not shared? i think the rules need to _ is a shared not shared? i think the rules need to be _ is a shared not shared? i think the rules need to be stricter. - is a shared not shared? i think the rules need to be stricter. i - is a shared not shared? i think the rules need to be stricter. i think, i rules need to be stricter. i think, wi—fi, not a shed, heating, rules need to be stricter. i think, wi—fi, nota shed, heating, not rules need to be stricter. i think, wi—fi, not a shed, heating, not a shed. abs. wi-fi, not a shed, heating, not a shed. �* . . . if shed. a little electric heater? if ou have shed. a little electric heater? if you have electricity, _ shed. a little electric heater? if you have electricity, lighting, i shed. a little electric heater? if. you have electricity, lighting, but once you start putting tvs in there, it is not a shed. she once you start putting tvs in there, it is not a shed.— it is not a shed. she said hers was ten by eight. _ it is not a shed. she said hers was ten by eight. i— it is not a shed. she said hers was ten by eight, i think— it is not a shed. she said hers was ten by eight, i think maybe i it is not a shed. she said hers was ten by eight, i think maybe there| ten by eight, i think maybe there needs to be a limit. i ten by eight, i think maybe there needs to be a limit.— needs to be a limit. i think they needs to be a limit. i think they need to look — needs to be a limit. i think they need to look at _ needs to be a limit. i think they need to look at the _ needs to be a limit. i think they need to look at the rules. i needs to be a limit. i think they need to look at the rules. they | needs to be a limit. i think they i need to look at the rules. they have just extended shed into any building

you've got a booking this weekend. so i was like, what? news of the unusual stay captured the imagination of people around the world and the boss of the company that makes the dolls got in touch. i actually came across a tweet and i said to jason, look, i'd love to make a one—off doll for rosie. and i'd like to gift it to her for christmas. but this was to be a special doll. rosie has down syndrome so subtle details were included in the toy and the packaging to explain her condition. we don't tell people that this is a doll with down syndrome. we let them purchase it and then they discover on the inside there's a little leaflet explaining what it actually means to have down syndrome. so we've got a diagram to show, the eyebrows and the nose and the face and she's got her boots, you know, they've modelled her boots on rosie's boots that really

helped her be able to walk and have a normal life. i think it's going to be a really nice educational thing for kids to look at and read and, you know, play, just like they play with any other doll. when others saw the finished product, they wanted one as well. now it's been made available in toy shops in 35 different countries. they've sold hundreds already and hopefully we can to sell more. and $1 for every purchase will go to our local charity who helps to support rosie and other families in the community. and what i hope from this is that it lets children know that she is just like them. she's just different. i believe all kids should have a diverse toy box so that they can develop that empathy, so it is, it's extremely important to us. to her, this is like a normal day, she just loves going outside, loves going in the tree house, loves playing with her dolls, just loves life. matt treacey, bbc news.

new research shows most are bought by urban drivers with three london boroughs — kensington and chelsea, hammersmith and fulham, and westminster — topping the list. the rac foundation has questioned whether the big sports utility vehicles — also known as chelsea tractors — are needed as a run—around in cities. a musician from croydon is running workshops teaching young people how to rap. # my name is bhishma, ifounded rap therapy. # becoming more creative by pushing all your energy onto paper with pen. # helping the younger generation be creative again. bhishma asare — known as proph — hopes the project will encourage youngsters to see rap as a way of expressing themselves when facing challenges. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes there are a few issues. severe delays on the hammersmith & city line — minor delays on the metropolitan line. the piccadily line is part suspended and tfl rail is part closed. over 40 bus routes across south and west london operated by london united have been disrupted

by industrial action, so do double check your route. temporary traffic lights for gas works on the a11 between stepney and mile end may cause some issues today. in hornsey, turnpike lane is closed between the tube station and st marys school for repairs to a burst water main. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's another cold, frosty start to the day. temperatures in some of our rural spots down as low as minus three celsius. it should stay dry all day, it won't feel quite as cold as it did yesterday, that's because the wind is coming in from the north and north—westerly direction, not quite so much added wind chill through today. the wind isn't as brisk. some sunshine around through the morning and then into the afternoon there will be a bit more cloud developing and top temperatures of around eight or nine celsius. so a slight improvement there. as we head through the evening and overnight, it will be cold and frosty at first, with some clear skies around. then we will drag in some slightly milder air on a westerly wind as we head into the start

of the day tomorrow. so it is a milder start to the morning than we are seeing at the moment. tomorrow with that westerly wind, temperatures could get into double figures, maybe. there will be some spells of brightness and sunshine but a bit more cloud around than today. a short spell of rain on friday will lead to a cold northerly wind and temperatures dropping again. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now, though, it's back to dan and louise. bye for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today. a trial of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine in children has been paused while an investigation takes place into whether the jab is linked to rare blood clots in adults. but leading scientists urge the public to continue getting the jab, saying the benefits far outweigh the risks. the risks of getting sick or dying of covid for all the people currently being offered first and second doses are far and away greater than any small theoretical risk that may exist relating to these cases — which are extremely rare. liverpool lose in the champions league, but manchester city find a last—minute winner to take the advantage over borussia dortmund. a moment of celebration and a instant of calm — we'll speak to the winners

of photographer of the year. good morning. cold and frosty start today. many of us starting with some sunshine, a few wintry showers here and there but the cloud will bill through the day and northern ireland we will see some patchy at main arrived. all the details in about nine minutes. it's wednesday the 7th of april. a trial of the oxford—astrazeneca covid vaccine on children has been temporarily paused — while the uk regulator investigates concerns that the jab may be causing rare blood clots in a tiny number of adults. the pause is voluntary — and none of the 300 children involved in the trial has suffered a clot, as our medical editor fergus walsh reports. there you go — all done. nearly 300 children aged six to 17 are taking part in the astrazeneca vaccine trial in england, which began in february. oxford university said there'd been no blood clots in the volunteers but — out of an abundance of caution — it had stopped vaccinations,

pending the outcome of the safety review in adults. more than 18 million people in the uk have received the astrazeneca vaccine. the mhra said last week there'd been 30 rare cases of blood clots, including seven deaths. so it's nice to be able to see that the area is sterile. the prime minister, visiting an astrazeneca plant in macclesfield, once again gave his firm support for the vaccine. the best thing people should do is look at what the mhra say, our independent regulator — that's why we have them, that's why they're independent. and their advice to people is to, you know, keep going out there, get yourjab, get your second jab. as a precautionary measure, the mhra updated its advice last month to say that anyone with a headache that lasted for more than four days after receiving the astrazeneca vaccine, or bruising beyond the site of the jab, should seek

medical attention. both of the vaccines we're using are highly effective against covid and the risks of getting sick or dying of covid for all the people currently being offered first and second doses are far and away greater than any small theoretical risk that may exist relating to these cases — which are extremely rare. this could be very much compromised if people think that this isn't being taken seriously, that this isn't being examined in great detail. but i think individuals have difficulties in sort of understanding risks and perceptions, and seeing this in relation to other sorts of illnesses or diseases or outcomes. the astrazeneca vaccine is central to the huge success of the roll—out ofjabs in the uk, which is way ahead of the rest of europe. france has restricted the astrazeneca vaccine to adults over 55 —

germany, to those over 60 — because of concerns about blood clots in younger adults. the european medicines agency and the uk regulator are due to give updated recommendations in the next day or two. maintaining public confidence in this highly effective vaccine will be vital. fergus walsh, bbc news. let's speak now to our correspondent anna holligan, who's outside the european medicines agency headquarters in amsterdam. good morning. when are we expecting a decision from them? well. good morning. when are we expecting a decision from them?— a decision from them? well, you know, vaccines _ a decision from them? well, you know, vaccines are _ a decision from them? well, you know, vaccines are a _ a decision from them? well, you know, vaccines are a vital- a decision from them? well, you know, vaccines are a vital way i a decision from them? well, you | know, vaccines are a vital way out of the pandemic but they only work if people actually have the faith to take them, soak today or tomorrow we are expecting an update from the ema plasma protein that specialise in adverse reactions, and just to remind you of what we have heard from the ema so far. a few weeks ago

they said the benefits of the oxford jab far outweigh the risk of side—effects. they said they still investigating this link between these extremely rare blood clots and these extremely rare blood clots and the oxford jab. the link, the possible link, was not proven but possible. and then at the end of last month they said there was no evidence that would support restricting the use of the oxford vaccine. since then they have continued to investigate and there is a chance these experts could add blood clots as a possible side effect. for now people are being urged, if they are offered the shot of the oxford jab, then take it. thank you. the coronavirus vaccine made by the american company moderna will be administered in the uk for the first time today. the roll—out will begin in carmarthen in west wales. the uk has ordered 17 million doses of the vaccine, which has been shown in trials to prevent nearly all infections. it will be used alongside the pfizer and astrazeneca jabs. the welsh government has

described its arrival as "another key milestone" in the fight against the virus. a comedy club has pulled out of a trial to test how venues can operate safely when lockdown ends — after receiving thousands of abusive messages. the hot water comedy club in liverpool says it was falsely linked to a scheme to test vaccine passports, leading to what it describes as a "hate campaign" on social media. a government spokesperson said they "strongly condemn" the online abuse the club received and clarified that participants in the trial would only need to provide a negative covid test — not proof of vaccination. doctors have been told not to prescribe painkillers to people suffering from chronic pain that has no known cause. the national institute for health and care excellence says there's little to no evidence that treating people with paracetamol or opioids makes any difference. it says people should be offered a range of therapies including exercise, acupuncture or anti—depressants instead.

motorists who live in crowded cities have been urged to think twice before buying a large suv. the rac foundation questioned whether big sports utility vehicles — also known as chelsea tractors — are needed just to nip to the shops. the motoring group was responding to research which showed that most suvs are bought by urban drivers. the duke of cambridge has paid tribute to nhs workers during the pandemic — describing the institution as "probably the most admired organisation around". prince william and kate have taken part in a series of video conversations with medics across the uk in recent months and in the latest, the duke praised their "wonderful" efforts. good morning, thelma. hello, how are you, your royal highness? it's lovely to meet you. i just want to say on behalf of everyone what a fantasticjob you've done. you've all held it together and been absolutely wonderful people. it's been a real team effort but we're all very proud of you.

cheering. the nhs has gone from already being much loved to probably the most admired organisation around. thank you so much for all your hard work. a seal that had a plastic ring stuck around its neck for two—and—a—half years has finally had it removed. the animal — named mrs vicar — was rescued from horsey beach, near great yarmouth. she's being cared for by the rspca, who say they're hopeful she will recover — but that she will need treatment for a "number of months". some ketchup news! the united states is facing a shortage of tomato ketchup. heinz — which produces the most popular brand — says it's been unable to keep up with demand for sachets of the sauce. it's been driven by a surge in takeaway food during the pandemic. i suppose that is understandable. it

is not a shortage of ketchup, but the sachets to put the catch in. . the earlier you said you look like that you like your chips. the other important question, sausage sandwich, red sauce or brown sauce? neither. marmalade. that's really messed with your head, hasn't it? what?! you are a maverick. my grandfather used to have marmalade with bacon. like, just... normal marmalade? with bacon. like, 'ust... normal marmalade?— with bacon. like, 'ust... normal marmalade? not marmalade? normal marmalade. not onl at m marmalade? normal marmalade. not only at my late? _ marmalade? normal marmalade. not only at my late? you _ marmalade? normal marmalade. not only at my late? you are _ marmalade? normal marmalade. not only at my late? you are breaking i only at my late? you are breaking culinary boundaries this morning! marmalade with sausages, carol? never tried it. i prefer mustard. just bog—standard ketchup! you come in here with your posh foodie ways, you lot. what is happening outside our studio? �* . you lot. what is happening outside our studio? 3 ., ., ~' you lot. what is happening outside our studio?_ it - you lot. what is happening outside our studio?_ it is - our studio? let's look. it is warming —

full for all of our people unless we take our future into our own hands and that is why it is right to give the people of wales the right to decide whether they want to be an independent country. realistically, ou talk independent country. realistically, you talk about _ independent country. realistically, you talk about trying _ independent country. realistically, you talk about trying to _ independent country. realistically, you talk about trying to do - independent country. realistically, you talk about trying to do that - independent country. realistically, you talk about trying to do that in l you talk about trying to do that in five years. do you think that is a realistic possibility?— realistic possibility? well, certainly. _ realistic possibility? well, certainly, as _ realistic possibility? well, certainly, as i _ realistic possibility? well, certainly, as i said, - realistic possibility? well, l certainly, as i said, whether realistic possibility? well, - certainly, as i said, whether the rising level of support for independence, i think the wind is in the sales of the national movement here. why? there is a rising tide of self—confidence in this country, i think. we realise the solutions to it wales' problems will not come from westminster, they can only come from westminster, they can only come from wales itself. all the problems we have been so familiar with, the deep poverty that discard so many of our communities, the fact that our young people don't have the quality jobs and affordable housing to be able to stay in those problems, they can be solved. the starting point is having the self—confidence to believe in our own ability to find

solutions. ., ., , , solutions. how would they be solved? where would — solutions. how would they be solved? where would you _ solutions. how would they be solved? where would you get _ solutions. how would they be solved? where would you get the _ solutions. how would they be solved? where would you get the money - solutions. how would they be solved? | where would you get the money from? well, i mean... they are solved by actually having a government which is dynamism and agility to be able to get to grips with the problems. let's look the problem of affordable housing. we need to be building the scale we were in the early 19705. we have 67,000 families in wales at the moment on housing waiting list. we can start to get to grips with that immediately by the election of plaid cymru government that sees ending homelessness and the housing crisis as a priority. similarly with child a5 a priority. similarly with child hunger, it is amazing that in this day and age, the 21st century, we are talking about child hunger. we can solve that problem by extending free school meals to all those children living in poverty in wales immediately and then extending it universally so that we can have a situation where no child goes to school hungry, we can ensure children are able to learn and

achieve their potential because they are given the support they require. back to that question, with regard to both those points you make, why would you get the funding from? == would you get the funding from? -- where would you get the funding from? there policies are delivered by prioritising within the existing budget. we can also invest at the level of the scottish government has been doing successfully in terms of our infrastructure. one of the reasons we have an underperforming economy in wales at the moment is that we don't have the basic infrastructure, which is the platform for success of any country, and we can emulate the success that scotland has been able to show by taking advantage of historically low interest rates to borrow, to create a foundation for future welsh economic success. that starts with the election of a plaid cymru government which is ambitious for wales on may the main six and it builds a pathway forward to become an independent prosperous country that will deliver a decent life for all of our citizens —— on the 6th of may. all of our citizens -- on the 6th of ma . ~ .,

all of our citizens -- on the 6th of ma . ~ . . may. what with the impact, if it were to be _ may. what with the impact, if it were to be an _ may. what with the impact, if it were to be an independent - may. what with the impact, if it - were to be an independent country, and the freedom to travel and work in other uk nations?— in other uk nations? well... as happened _ in other uk nations? well... as happened in — in other uk nations? well... as happened in the _ in other uk nations? well... as happened in the case _ in other uk nations? well. .. as happened in the case of- in other uk nations? well... as happened in the case of ireland in other uk nations? well... as - happened in the case of ireland when it became the irish free state of the 19205, we created a common travel area, didn't we? that has existed for the last 100 years or so of course they would be free movement. ourvision of course they would be free movement. our vision for of course they would be free movement. ourvision forwales of course they would be free movement. our vision for wales is an outward —looking vision, a forward—looking vision and it is one based on the ideal of partnership in the nations of this island, as well, but the partnership of equals and thatis but the partnership of equals and that is the difference and of course the central idea is the idea of wales taking its future into its own hands. it is a unique election in so many ways that one of the unique things in this election, we will take our own pens into the polling stations. what better metaphor for the future of wales, taking our future into our own hands and

writing our own destiny? what future into our own hands and writing our own destiny? what would plaid do differently _ writing our own destiny? what would plaid do differently from _ writing our own destiny? what would plaid do differently from the - plaid do differently from the current welsh mince, for example in how it has tackled the pandemic? well, i think we need to shift our focus as we come out of the pandemic. we have supported the welsh government by and large in their slow and steady approach in terms of the protection of public health, but now the focus has to be shifting to rebuilding the economy and there we need a gear change, we need agility, dynamism, and we can only get that through different political leadership, new ideas, fresh thinking coming through a plaid cymru government to. adam plaid cymru government to. adam price, plaid cymru government to. adam price. leader— plaid cymru government to. adam price, leader of _ plaid cymru government to. adam price, leader of plaid _ plaid cymru government to. adam price, leader of plaid cymru, - plaid cymru government to. adam| price, leader of plaid cymru, thank you forjoining us. for more details on the welsh senedd election you can visit the bbc news website and click the link to wales. we are here until 9:15am. lowe is coming up on the programme. we are talking about face in secondary schools in the next ten minutes or so. lets us know your thoughts. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the pandemic is leading to delayed grief with restrictions prolonging the process. that's according to one counselling service in east london which says it's been helping more people than ever before. the muslim bereavement support service says restrictions mean people haven't been able to say goodbye properly. we are so busy now. we have women coming to us that have lost a few members of their family within a short space of time. there is a family that, you know, we are aware of that came to us and they buried their father, and their brother at the same time. so these are unusual circumstances, you wouldn't normally see that. drivers are being urged to think twice before buying a large suv. new research shows most are bought by urban drivers with three london boroughs, kensington and chelsea,

hammersmith and fulham, and westminster topping the list. the rac foundation has questioned whether the big sports utility vehicles, also known as chelsea tractors, are needed as a run—around in cities. a musician from croydon is running workshops teaching young people how to rap. # my name is bhishma, ifounded rap therapy. # becoming more creative by pushing all your energy onto paper with pen. # helping the younger generation be creative again. bhishma asare, known as 'proph', hopes the project will encourage youngsters to see rap as a way of expressing themselves when facing challenges. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes there are a few issues. severe delays on the hammersmith and city line, minor delays on the metropolitan line. the piccadily line is part suspended and tfl rail is part closed. over 40 bus routes across south and west london operated by london united have been disrupted by industrial action. so do double check your route.

temporary traffic lights for gas works on the a11 between stepney and mile end may cause some issues today. in hornsey, turnpike lane is closed between the tube station and st marys school for repairs to a burst water main. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's another cold, frosty start to the day. temperatures in some of our rural spots down as low as minus three celsius. it should stay dry all day, it won't feel quite as cold as it did yesterday, that's because the wind is coming in from the north and north—westerly direction, not quite so much added wind chill through today. the wind isn't as brisk. some sunshine around through the morning and then into the afternoon there will be a bit more cloud developing and top temperatures of around eight or nine celsius. so a slight improvement there. as we head through the evening and overnight, it will be cold and frosty at first, with some clear skies around. then we will drag in some slightly milder air on a westerly wind as we head into the start of the day tomorrow. so it is a milder start to the morning than we are

seeing at the moment. tomorrow with that westerly wind, temperatures could get into double figures, maybe. there will be some spells of brightness and sunshine but a bit more cloud around than today. a short spell of rain on friday will lead to a cold northerly wind and temperatures dropping again. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. the education secretary gavin williamson has confirmed that secondary school pupils in england will have to keep wearing facemasks in class after the easter holidays. so what are the rules on face coverings in schools across the uk? masks have been required in secondary schools in england, both in communal areas and in classrooms where social distancing cannot be maintained, since they reopened fully on 8th march. that decision will be reviewed by the 17th of may. the scottish government says all secondary school pupils should wear face coverings

in corridors and communal areas, and senior pupils and their teachers must wear them in class. in wales facemasks have to be worn in secondary schools only if social distancing isn't possible. and in northern ireland post—primary pupils are required to wear face coverings in classrooms and communal areas. let's speak to ges smith, head teacher at the jo richardson community school in dagenham. good morning, very nice to speak to you on the programme today. can we start to get your reaction to the news that face coverings will be required after easter in secondary schools and colleges? it required after easter in secondary schools and colleges?— schools and colleges? it makes sense, doesn't _ schools and colleges? it makes sense, doesn't it, _ schools and colleges? it makes sense, doesn't it, really, - schools and colleges? it makes i sense, doesn't it, really, because it fits in line with the road map out of lockdown. what we mustn't forget is that it has been part of a package of precautions and intervention within schools, which has included both social distancing, the whole testing programme, masks

in schools and corridors etc, and also limitations in other areas. there are a number of parts in this chick so and this has been an important part. it has been one of the most difficult parts —— it is a number of parts in this jigsaw. the most difficult parts —— it is a number of parts in thisjigsaw. it is a challenging situation to get 1600 kids to wear a mask at all 16oo kids to wear a mask at all times and understand their responsibility in wearing it but they have been incredible. across they have been incredible. across the country people have been incredible embracing their role and the role they have to play in preventing the spread of the virus. give us an idea of some of the practical challenges you have been facing as head teacher around this issue. is it a permanent thing of reminding and cajoling? it is issue. is it a permanent thing of reminding and cajoling?- reminding and ca'oling? it is an onauoin reminding and cajoling? it is an ongoing challenge, _ reminding and cajoling? it is an ongoing challenge, it _ reminding and cajoling? it is an ongoing challenge, it is - reminding and cajoling? it is an i ongoing challenge, it is reminding and controlling. the biggest challenge has been for a number of

different subjects where communication in those lessons is important, things like drama and the more expressive arts where we are talking and communicating. and also, in every classroom, where you want interaction and questioning and discussion, you want the assessment, you don't want students just to sit there and not respond. it's incredibly difficult as we all know to read emotion and read response if somebody you are talking to is wearing a mask. the teaching staff that has become incredibly difficult, they are giving advice and not sure how it's being taken, you can't read the face in the same way you could before. [30 you can't read the face in the same way you could before.— way you could before. do children still have to _ way you could before. do children still have to wear _ way you could before. do children still have to wear it _ way you could before. do children still have to wear it for _ way you could before. do children still have to wear it for drama - way you could before. do children still have to wear it for drama or. still have to wear it for drama or do you allow them to take it out for performances on things like that? not necessarily, because within drama, you can do to me to spacing but they have to work in boxes of

two metres —— you can do to metre spacing. pe is exempt and dance is exempt, you can subjects where it has a major impact and we have looked at them all. i will be honest, we can't wait till the 17th, and i think probably across the country, young people and staff. we can't forget one thing, there is also members of staff within schools, mask wearing has been to support them as well because they all returned to work, they aren't working from home. on a daily basis they are interacting face—to—face with their colleagues and with large numbers of students, and it has been in place to give them a sense of safety and protect their health and welfare as well. find safety and protect their health and welfare as well.— welfare as well. and i understand that ou welfare as well. and i understand that you are _ welfare as well. and i understand that you are planning _ welfare as well. and i understand that you are planning on - welfare as well. and i understand that you are planning on still- that you are planning on still having your end of year prom. i wonder whether the teenagers that will be coming along to that and hopefully looking forward to coming along to it, will they be wearing masks or how will you work at an event like that? taste masks or how will you work at an event like that?— masks or how will you work at an event like that? we were discussing

it esterda event like that? we were discussing it yesterday and _ event like that? we were discussing it yesterday and i _ event like that? we were discussing it yesterday and i think _ event like that? we were discussing it yesterday and i think probably - event like that? we were discussing it yesterday and i think probably a i it yesterday and i think probably a venetian ball is more appropriate, romeo and juliet masks? in all seriousness, we have planned it for the end ofjuly, we have pushed it back as far as possible so there is the best chance possible and we hope that by that time afterjune 21 that we can have it as a normal prom. there can be food and dancing and it can be celebrating the end of what is the most bizarre of two years for our year 11 and 13 pupils who are looking forward to these events. taste looking forward to these events. we were both struck a few weeks ago when we spoke to some young lads, they were ten and 11, as parents and as teachers and as adults we have been talking about this for a year, and the repercussions on how we feel about it. we spoke to these two young lads and they say, just get on with it. it'sjust what young lads and they say, just get on with it. it's just what we do every day. and we don't really think to much about it, wear a facemasks,

perspex shield is in some classrooms, but it is still school. do you think that is overriding the attitude for some children? yes. do you think that is overriding the attitude for some children? yes, i think the resilience _ attitude for some children? yes, i think the resilience they _ attitude for some children? yes, i think the resilience they have - attitude for some children? yes, i i think the resilience they have shown is incredible in the circumstances. we all knew we would deal with a lot of issues that had arisen over lockdown when we returned, but the vast majority of young people have embraced it and how it has become part of their lives. you have to remember, schools now, if you are a year seven student who only started last year, they know nothing about this, nothing but wearing facemasks and being tested twice a week, staggered entry and exits, sitting apart from friends, having all the lessons among one classroom and in bubbles. we didn't have this in our language 12 months ago. the young people have really accepted this as being here and now but hopefully we

have an end to it inside. i being here and now but hopefully we have an end to it inside.— have an end to it inside. i hope the rom have an end to it inside. i hope the prom goes — have an end to it inside. i hope the prom goes well _ have an end to it inside. i hope the prom goes well at _ have an end to it inside. i hope the prom goes well at the _ have an end to it inside. i hope the prom goes well at the end - have an end to it inside. i hope the prom goes well at the end of - have an end to it inside. i hope the prom goes well at the end of the i prom goes well at the end of the year, thank you for talking to us. ges smith, head teacher at a community school in dagenham. i think those lads were a bit older, just started secondary school but they were brilliant.— just started secondary school but they were brilliant. they were 'ust like, it's annoying i they were brilliant. they were 'ust like, it's annoying but i they were brilliant. they were 'ust like, it's annoying but we �* they were brilliant. they were 'ust like, it's annoying but we get i they were brilliant. they were just like, it's annoying but we get on i like, it's annoying but we get on with it. let's get the sport. taste with it. let's get the sport. we could all do — with it. let's get the sport. we could all do with a bit of that perspective! all eyes were on the huge superstar from brucie dortmund yesterday, but we are now talking about phil foden. —— from marussia dortmund. a very late goal from phil foden has given manchster city the edge in their champions league quarterfinal with borussia dortmund but the match wasn't without controversy. kevin de bruyne put city ahead inside 20 minutes and moments later they had a penalty award overturned by var. dortmund then thought

they were level but england internationaljude bellingham's goal was disallowed, the referee ruled he had fouled ederson. replays suggested that was a harsh decision. marco reus did equalise for the german side in the 84th minute. but that wasn't late enough, foden making it 2—1 in the 90th and the city manager had no complaints. the referees were brilliant. the game was not a problem, so it was a penalty, that is what the var, the people said it was a penalty, and the bellingham action from the leg was higher than expected so the referee was correct, it was perfect. jurgen klopp said liverpool made it "too easy" for real madrid in theirfirst leg in spain. they won 3—1 in the first match between the sides since madrid's win in the champions league final

three years ago. twenty—year—old brazilian vinicius junior is fast becoming a big star and he scored the opening goal, before they went 2—0 up. liverpool came out fighting after the break, and mo salah reduced the defecit. but they were stung when vinicius found the net again and that leaves liverpool with a really tough task in the home leg next week. if you want to go to the semifinals and that is absolutely ok and fair, you have to deserve it with the performance you put on the pitch. and tonight we were not good enough to win this game. but the only good news is, there's another game, where we saw there. but it's not like we have an advantage now. we are under pressure, of course, and we have to show that we can deal with that. scotland forward molly wright will miss the rest of the women's six nations after receiving a three—match ban. she was sent off for a dangerous high tackle on england's vickii cornborough, in the scots' 52—10 defeat on saturday, minutes after coming on as a replacement. she was remorseful when she admitted

the offence afterwards, so the usual six—game ban was reduced to three. the masters begins tomorrow, five months since the delayed 2020 tournament was played. since then, england's lee westwood has seen a brilliant return to form. he'll be playing in his 20th masters and if he wins, he'd breakjack nicklaus's record and become the oldest player to claim the green jacket. i'm 48 in a few days' time. and, you know, the secret is to tone the practice and the training down as thursday comes, so i'm fresh. my legs probably won't take as much as a 20—year—old's legs will take. and this is a physically demanding golf course. so i have to scale that back. i have got into trouble in the past for claiming at 48 that he is old, because as a golfer, you can play well into your 705 and 80s. but even

lee they're saying, at 48, he is having to scale it back. whenjack last won the masters, he had his son on the back and lee has his son on the bag as well. he on the back and lee has his son on the bag as well.— on the back and lee has his son on the bag as well. he is in good form. i will the bag as well. he is in good form. i will follow — the bag as well. he is in good form. i will follow it _ the bag as well. he is in good form. i will follow it closely, _ the bag as well. he is in good form. i will follow it closely, well, - the bag as well. he is in good form. i will follow it closely, well, i- i will follow it closely, well, i will, you won't!— i will follow it closely, well, i will, you won't! well, you will tell me! let's have a look at the weather now, lovely but cold. absolutely right, good morning, a frosty start, temperatures below freezing for the most of the night, but it will not be as windy except for the far north of scotland where we have gusts of up to 50 miles an hour. we still have some wintry showers across scotland, a few skirting northern ireland, south—west wales, a few into east anglia. you may well wake up to a slight dusting of snow on the ground. as we go through the day, most of that will tend to clear away. we will hang onto a few snow

showers in scotland. after a bright and sunny start, the cloud will build through the day. nonetheless there will be some bright and sunny spells. the exception to that will be northern ireland where the cloud will thicken to the west in the afternoon. by the end of the afternoon. by the end of the afternoon we will start to see a return to some patchy rain. temperature is nothing to write home about. the average for the time of year, ten to 13 degrees. today, 1 degrees is the maximum temperature in lerwick, couple that with a strong wind, it will not feel pretty. a5 strong wind, it will not feel pretty. as we come south, top temperature seven or eight. through the evening and overnight, clear skies and an early first in the west. that will be usurped by this weather front coming in from the west, introducing thick cloud, some rain, preceded by some snow across the highlands and the southern uplands and pennines. you can see quite clearly, the mark of demarcation where we have the cloud and rain. temperatures five or 6

degrees, up through the course of the night. elsewhere, lower, and in the night. elsewhere, lower, and in the south—east, a frost first thing in the morning. talking of the morning, low—pressure driving and weather. the air coming around in an anticlockwise direction, a subtle change in the wind direction to more of a south—westerly or are westerly. a milder direction for us compared to the north or north westerly we have had. with the weather front sinking south, it will introduce rain across scotland, northern england and northern ireland with a few showers in wales. south of that, variable cloud, sunny skies, look at the temperatures. we are looking at ten quite widely, 11 or 12, but behind the weatherfront ten quite widely, 11 or 12, but behind the weather front which is a cold front, it will turn that bit colder once again. you can see it nicely in the air mass chart, as it slipped south, we are in colder air in the north. and snow showers come

in the north. and snow showers come in once again on the return to the north—westerly wind. this weather front producing cloud and patchy rain in the south. behind that sunshine, showers, wintry in higher ground. but look at the temperatures, 4—8 in the north, but clinging on to 11 in the south. that will change as the weather front whips into france. thank you, see you in half an hour. it is still —1 outside in salford. we are doing the ice foot 92 challenge, inspired by a former footballer who is suffering with motor neurone disease, all about trying to raise money for the motor neurone disease foundation. i am at half past eight and you just before the of the programme? yes.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. a trial of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine in children has been paused while an investigation takes place into whether the jab is linked to rare blood clots in adults. but leading scientists urge the public to continue getting the jab, saying the benefits far outweigh the risks. the risks of getting sick or dying of covid for all the people currently being offered first and second doses are far and away greater than any small theoretical risk that may exist relating to these cases — which are extremely rare. lifting the shutters on the new shopping experience. good morning. big—name retailers are set to extend their opening hours from monday. but i look at why consumer retail therapy could cause a headache for smaller shops. and we are taking inspiration from former footballer lenjohnrose. we'll be putting our best foot

forward in a new ice—bucket challenge to raise awareness for mnd. it looks ready for us out there, doesn't it? again and ifelt it looks ready for us out there, doesn't it? again and i felt a cold start to the day and also crusty. many start on a sunny note but the cloud will bill through the day with patchy rain arriving in the west later, wintry showers tending to fade. all the details coming up. it's wednesday the 7th of april. our top story. a trial of the oxford—astrazeneca covid vaccine on children has been temporarily paused — while the uk regulator investigates concerns that the jab may be causing rare blood clots in a tiny number of adults. the pause is voluntary — and none of the 300 children involved in the trial has suffered a clot, as our medical editor fergus walsh reports. there you go — all done. nearly 300 children aged six to 17 are taking part in the astrazeneca

vaccine trial in england, which began in february. oxford university said there'd been no blood clots in the volunteers but — out of an abundance of caution — it had stopped vaccinations, pending the outcome of the safety review in adults. more than 18 million people in the uk have received the astrazeneca vaccine. the mhra said last week there'd been 30 rare cases of blood clots, including seven deaths. so it's nice to be able to see that the area is sterile. the prime minister, visiting an astrazeneca plant in macclesfield, once again gave his firm support for the vaccine. the best thing people should do is look at what the mhra say, our independent regulator — that's why we have them, that's why they're independent. and their advice to people is to, you know, keep going out there, get yourjab, get your second jab. as a precautionary measure,

the mhra updated its advice last month to say that anyone with a headache that lasted for more than four days after receiving the astrazeneca vaccine, or bruising beyond the site of the jab, should seek medical attention. both of the vaccines we're using are highly effective against covid and the risks of getting sick or dying of covid for all the people currently being offered first and second doses are far and away greater than any small theoretical risk that may exist relating to these cases — which are extremely rare. this could be very much compromised if people think that this isn't being taken seriously, that this isn't being examined in great detail. but i think individuals have difficulties in sort of understanding risks and perceptions, and seeing this in relation to other sorts of illnesses or diseases or outcomes. the astrazeneca vaccine is central to the huge success of the roll—out ofjabs in the uk,

which is way ahead of the rest of europe. france has restricted the astrazeneca vaccine to adults over 55 — germany, to those over 60 — because of concerns about blood clots in younger adults. the european medicines agency and the uk regulator are due to give updated recommendations in the next day or two. maintaining public confidence in this highly effective vaccine will be vital. fergus walsh, bbc news. let's discuss this with two specialists in the spread of infectious diseases — professor paul hunter is in norwich and professor calum semple is in liverpool. good morning to you and thank you very much forjoining us. it's really important to get the facts. calum semple, oxford has caused the vaccine trials for the moment. tell us about the assessment of why that has been done. i’m

there you go. thank you. was it all right? yes, all right today. once a week, maria calls in on sue to deliver some shopping, to chat and to catch up. my birthday today. i know — happy birthday! thank you. isolation and loneliness have been some of the cruellest effects of the pandemic. it's been very hard. yeah. and what's been the hardest aspect for you, would you say? not seeing my friends, not seeing anybody. and i've usually got quite a good social life — i belong to u3a, which is something all over the country where you can go to groups. and, of course, that had to stop. it's not right to be locked up in your house and not see anybody else, really, is it? what are you most looking forward to over the next few months? well, when we... when businesses open, like cafes and pubs and different things, i'm looking forward to seeing friends. maria is one of the 400 volunteers from a group called love devizes who signed up to help vulnerable people in the town before

the first lockdown. some people haven't seen anybody for a year — not properly. apart from the people doing their shopping or if they have to go to the doctors or something, they haven't really been out. and... it's... you know, you just chat to them as long as you can, um... but it's very isolating. i think some people have gone downhill, as well. covid — and the restrictions on society designed to tackle it — have meant many people not usually isolated have faced loneliness. my mood has been low — very low. loneliness is a very strange thing — i've never, prior to this, _ encountered any loneliness. i've always been surrounded by people, very busy. - and then to spend 12 months i without human contact isjust...

yeah... it's been hard — very hard. this lockdown in particular was the first time that i've been affected by the lockdown in terms of work. i've been working from home. so that in particular has been harder because i've not had that day—to—day connection with people, with my colleagues. good morning, love devizes. how can we help? oh, hello, there. i wonder if somebody could do some shopping for me, please. yeah, of course we can. back at the love devizes office, volunteers viv and michael are helping people who telephone in. people have started to come out of certain restrictions, _ we start to uncover where people haven't got the infrastructure - you and i would take for granted — you know, either friends - or neighbours — some lonely people. you peel back... you know, devizes is a brilliant town, it's a great community. i but if you peel back- the veneer of that town, there are people who are lonely. some of the most vulnerable or frail in our society have been forced indoors by the pandemic. but in communities right

across the uk, there are people prepared to open doors and to help those most in need. john maguire, bbc news, wiltshire. we'll now speak to alex hoskyn, the founder of the chatty cafe scheme, designed to tackle loneliness, and the president general at the royal british legion industries, lord dannatt. shejoins us. joe she joins us. joe maguire's shejoins us. joe maguire's piece really highlights what has been an issue and continue to be an issue for so many people. give an idea of exactly how the chatty cafe scheme works and it is helping.— works and it is helping. before it the pandemic— works and it is helping. before it the pandemic our _ works and it is helping. before it the pandemic our aim _ works and it is helping. before it the pandemic our aim was - works and it is helping. before it the pandemic our aim was to - works and it is helping. before itj the pandemic our aim was to get catalase and other venues to designate chatter and not a table where customers can sit if they are happy to talk to other customers. when covid hit, we had to completely change what we were doing. now we are doing weekly calls to people who

want to chat and we are doing three zoom sessions per week. it is want to chat and we are doing three zoom sessions per week.— zoom sessions per week. it is so different to _ zoom sessions per week. it is so different to sit _ zoom sessions per week. it is so different to sit in _ zoom sessions per week. it is so different to sit in a _ zoom sessions per week. it is so different to sit in a cafe - zoom sessions per week. it is so different to sit in a cafe talking l different to sit in a cafe talking and doing it on a zoom. it is different to sit in a cafe talking and doing it on a zoom. it is going reall , and doing it on a zoom. it is going really. really _ and doing it on a zoom. it is going really, really well. _ and doing it on a zoom. it is going really, really well. because - and doing it on a zoom. it is going really, really well. because we - and doing it on a zoom. it is going i really, really well. because we have been doing them for nearly a year now, people have performed quite good connections, we have people from all over the uk, different ages and they are going really, really well. the phone calls we are doing, well. the phone calls we are doing, we are making around 200 calls. well, 200 people a week at the moment. what people love is that it is just a chat about anything, there is just a chat about anything, there is no kind of agenda, we are not professional. and in your previous film people were saying about wanting to go out, but what we are finding is that people are really being able to volunteer from their own home and that many people actually wear very lonely and

isolated pre—covid, as well, so there is definitely the meat that has been there for quite long time. we are speaking you from oldham and some of our regular viewers will remember terence, who we spoke to also from oldham, the previous christmas, who had been incredibly lonely, became a volunteer and he has always been adamant thatjust the simplest conversation, sometimes a couple of words, bits of interest, makes a huge difference. not only to him when he was lonely but to so many others, as well. that him when he was lonely but to so many others, as well.— him when he was lonely but to so many others, as well. that is why i started the — many others, as well. that is why i started the scheme _ many others, as well. that is why i started the scheme because - many others, as well. that is why i started the scheme because i - many others, as well. that is why i started the scheme because i was. many others, as well. that is why i | started the scheme because i was a new mum and i was going out in oldham, pushing the pram around and finding that even though i was out of the house i wasn't actually having much interaction with other people. it was amazing shopkeepers, people. it was amazing shopkeepers, people in cafe is, people thatjust say hello to you, when you are feeling invisible, that can kind of make you feel visible and human and i think that those connections and interactions are just so important

and they really do make a difference to people. and they really do make a difference to --eole. , , ., to people. sometimes it can be two wa s. if to people. sometimes it can be two ways- if you — to people. sometimes it can be two ways. if you volunteer, _ to people. sometimes it can be two ways. if you volunteer, you - to people. sometimes it can be two ways. if you volunteer, you are - to people. sometimes it can be twoj ways. if you volunteer, you are also getting so much back from it, i tune? , , . , ., getting so much back from it, i tune? , , . i. ., tune? definitely. if anyone out there is feeling _ tune? definitely. if anyone out there is feeling lonely - tune? definitely. if anyone out there is feeling lonely and - tune? definitely. if anyone out - there is feeling lonely and isolated and they have an opportunity to do a bit of volunteering or give something back, it really kind of take your mind off what you are feeling for a moment and giving back to someone else, itjust cannot lift you and that other person. just put a bit of a spring in your step, which makes a big difference. what which makes a big difference. what would our which makes a big difference. what would your advice _ which makes a big difference. what would your advice be _ which makes a big difference. what would your advice be to somebody who may be watching this and has not had a conversation with somebody for a long time and, as you were, maybe feels a bit invisible at the moment and doesn't have that interaction? i and doesn't have that interaction? i think, if you can, just be brave. if you see a poster or you see something happening, just really try and give them a call or get in touch and give them a call or get in touch and see if you can get involved. but

also, if you find something missing in your community, why not have a go at starting something yourself? if anybody wants any help and advice, they can get in touch with the chatty cafe scheme and we are happy to help. butjust be brave and give it a shot. to help. but 'ust be brave and give it a shot. ., , to help. but 'ust be brave and give it a shot. . , ., it a shot. that is thing to say -- make a nice _ it a shot. that is thing to say -- make a nice thing _ it a shot. that is thing to say -- make a nice thing to _ it a shot. that is thing to say -- make a nice thing to say. - it a shot. that is thing to say -- make a nice thing to say. thank it a shot. that is thing to say -- - make a nice thing to say. thank you, alex hoskyn, the chatty cafe scheme founder. the literature you. . do you remember the ice bucket challenge that took over the internet a few years ago? now there's a new fundraising sensation in town. we have been volunteered for this. we have been volunteered for this. we have been told we are doing it. voluntold! it's called the "ice foot challenge", and it involves dunking your feet in a bucket of ice cold water for 92 seconds. it's been set up by former footballer lenjohnrose to raise money for motor neurone disease

and later this morning both of us are going to give it a go. i think ithink i'm i think i'm going out in a minute and louise is doing itjust before the end of the programme. we are really looking forward to it! i have brought a massive coach today, the world's biggest code. it is freezing outside! ., , world's biggest code. it is freezing outside! . , ., , outside! literally. you will see that soon- _ time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the pandemic is leading to "delayed grief" — with restrictions prolonging the process. that's according to one counselling service in east london which says it's been helping more people than ever before. the muslim bereavement support service says restrictions mean people haven't been able to say goodbye properly. we are so busy now. we have women coming to us that have lost a few members of their family within a short space of time. there is a family that, you know, we are aware of that came to us and they buried their father, and their brother at the same time.

so these are unusual circumstances, you wouldn't normally see that. drivers are being urged to think twice before buying a large suv. new research shows most are bought by urban drivers with three london boroughs — kensington and chelsea, hammersmith and fulham, and westminster — topping the list. the rac foundation has questioned whether the big sports utility vehicles — also known as chelsea tractors — are needed as a run around in cities. a musician from croydon is running workshops teaching young people how to rap. # my name is bhishma, ifounded rap therapy. # becoming more creative by pushing all your energy onto paper with pen. # helping the younger generation be creative again. bhishma asare — known as proph — hopes the project will encourage youngsters to see rap as a way of expressing themselves when facing challenges. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes there are a few issues.

severe delays on the hammersmith and city line. the metropolitan and piccadily lines are part suspended and tfl rail is part closed. over a0 bus routes across south and west london operated by london united have been disrupted by industrial action, so do double check your route. temporary traffic lights for gas works on the ai! between stepney and mile end may cause some issues today. in hornsey, turnpike lane is closed between the tube station and st mary's school for repairs to a burst water main. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's another cold, frosty start to the day. temperatures in some of our rural spots down as low as minus three celsius. it should stay dry all day, it won't feel quite as cold as it did yesterday, that's because the wind is coming in from the north and north—westerly direction, not quite so much added wind chill through today. the wind isn't as brisk. some sunshine around through the morning and then into the afternoon there will be a bit more cloud developing and top temperatures of around eight or nine celsius. so a slight improvement there.

as we head through the evening and overnight, it will be cold and frosty at first, with some clear skies around. then we will drag in some slightly milder air on a westerly wind as we head into the start of the day tomorrow. so it is a milder start to the morning than we are seeing at the moment. tomorrow with that westerly wind, temperatures could get into double figures, maybe. there will be some spells of brightness and sunshine but a bit more cloud around than today. a short spell of rain on friday will lead to a cold northerly wind and temperatures dropping again. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in an hour. now, though, it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. lam warm i am warm and toasty in the studio but dan is outside where he is going to take part in this ice challenge in a few minutes' time.

into these rare blood clots in adults. there have been no clots in the children and they are all being asked to keep coming in for the follow—up blood tests and checks, so they anticipate hopefully that this will just they anticipate hopefully that this willjust be they anticipate hopefully that this will just be a they anticipate hopefully that this willjust be a short pause. if you actually pause a trial formally, thatis actually pause a trial formally, that is a much bigger deal, it involves regulators and independent teams deciding whether it can start up teams deciding whether it can start up again but there have been no safety concerns within this trial. and they have said it is an abundance of caution. i mean, so many questions around this. i suppose the key one is, this is important, that it doesn't damaged public confidence in a particular vaccine. ~ , , , , public confidence in a particular vaccine. ~ , , , . , vaccine. absolutely. this is a sign that the system _ vaccine. absolutely. this is a sign that the system is _ vaccine. absolutely. this is a sign that the system is working. - vaccine. absolutely. this is a sign that the system is working. the i vaccine. absolutely. this is a sign - that the system is working. the mhra has a very well ordered system for gathering data postvaccination of

side effects. they publish that data. and last week they said that out of 18 million vaccinations with the astrazeneca jab, and there had been 30 cases of a rare blood clot in the brain with low platelet counts, so it is a very unusual condition, and seven deaths. and it looks like something like one in every 600,000 doses. the european medicines agency has also been investigating, and they're expected to announce their updated results today or tomorrow. they had found something like one in 100,000 cases of this rare blood clot. so a higher proportion. that's why countries like germany had restricted the use to older adults, because they have mostly found that these clots have beenin mostly found that these clots have been in younger people. so in

germany, you can only have the astrazeneca jab if you are over 60. in france, if you are over 55. so that's the situation there. the trouble is, we don't really have a hard knowledge of how frequently these occurrences are in the background. and because it is such a rare event, and we also know that covid dramatically increases your chance of getting blood clots. briefly, a question from steve, the astrazeneca vaccine getting a lot of attention, but i have seen zero mention of any risk associated with pfizer or other vaccines?— pfizer or other vaccines? yeah, it is because _ pfizer or other vaccines? yeah, it is because of— pfizer or other vaccines? yeah, it is because of these _ pfizer or other vaccines? yeah, it is because of these particular - pfizer or other vaccines? yeah, it| is because of these particular rare blood clots in the brain with low platelets, there have been no reports of that with pfizer. there have been reports of other side—effects, they have been largely things like that you would expect, a

sore arm, fever, sort of thing that many of us who have had their first jab have come across for a day or two and then have been resolved. it's these particular side—effects that seem largely reserved and connected with the astrazeneca doses. , . ., . ,, ., doses. fergus, excellent to talk to ou, doses. fergus, excellent to talk to you. thank — doses. fergus, excellent to talk to you. thank you _ doses. fergus, excellent to talk to you, thank you for _ doses. fergus, excellent to talk to you, thank you for being _ doses. fergus, excellent to talk to you, thank you for being so - doses. fergus, excellent to talk to you, thank you for being so clear l you, thank you for being so clear with us. it's the moment we have now all been waiting for! no—one can forget the success of the ice bucket challenge. this morning we have been talking about a new idea which former footballer lenjohnrose is hoping will become a new viral fundraising sensation. dan's hot—footed it out of the studio and can tell us more. he has his big coat on! i like the use of the phrase hotfooted it there with this in mind. ice water, a lovely block of ice in there. a slight issue with this ice bucket and the size of my feet, as you can see. i have to put

what do a peaky blinders themed bar and a custom—built yoga studio have in common? they're both contenders to be named "shed of the year". and it's a surprisingly packed field! breakfast�*s graham satchell has been to meet the people whose humble shed is their pride and joy. we don't like to call it a shed. it's wooden built, but it is a yoga and pilates studio, which is where i teach and work. i'd have said probably for 15 years, over and over, "i would love to have my own studio, i would love to have my own studio," and, ta—dah! my husband goes, hmm, 0k. so began a mammoth lockdown project. geraint has spent most of the last year building a yoga studio for his wife, mel, in the back garden. it's been incredibly enjoyable, hugely satisfying to be able to stand in the kitchen window and look down and see something that i've created

myself is just fantastic. the finished studio has underfloor heating, wi—fi, sound and vision. it's allowed mel to do her classes online. mel started doing yoga to help her cope with postnatal depression. it's been a huge saviour for me. and if i can help transfer that to others, then fantastic. what would it mean to you if you were to win shed of the year? it would be crazy. to have created this and thenjoin the shed pantheon would be fantastic. it really would. to see it on a computer and develop it into 3d and show me what could be... amazing. it's absolutely incredible. i couldn't be more proud. and eternally grateful. it's really quite tremendous, yeah.

we always knew that the first name for the bar had to be something to do with peaky blinders, and that's why we called it mick and sue's peaky blinders. the fact that sue is actually in love with cillian murphy. he's a good—looking lad, isn't he? got to say that. cheers! mick and sue's peaky blinders shed pub has been a lockdown labour of love. it helped the whole family get through the last year. having the kids here with us all through the lockdown meant that we could all support each other and we could all love each other. and we knew we were all safe. and we knew, you know, most of all that we were playing by the rules, which was very, very important to us. it's been an escape away from the house, to come into here just to chill and relax

and feel as though you're in a different world, basically. and when the bars do open up again, we don't want to go out. we're happy here. we're happy staying in our own bubble here and socialise in this way. seeing patients go through covid has been very challenging. it affects you every day you come home from work. and you absorb that. so it's about how do i manage myself, and prepare to go in the next day and do it all again? so, hence, the shed. diane's shed has become a haven from the outside world. she is a frailty nurse caring for patients in care homes. it sort of puts things in place, and you canjust sigh a relief and say, right, i can do this again tomorrow,

i can go back into work with that smile on my face and nurse my patients. it's a bit of a joke with my son, my teenage son, who says, "where's mum?" to dad, and dad says, "oh, she's away with the fairies". it'sjust, yeah, it's a comfy, cosy place to be. i call it scribbles, i do scribbles in my shed. i'm not an artist, you know, i'm nowhere near, but it'sjust that mindfulness if you like ofjust doing something that i enjoy that i can just distract from everyday, what's going on in the world. how do you feel about being on the shortlist for shed of the year? it's a bit mad! i'm quite honoured, actually, because it'sjust a humble ten by eight shed. yeah, it's a really weird feeling, actually, shed of the year. but it's just my cosy space.

this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh. the headlines: a trial of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine in children has been paused while an investigation takes place into whether the jab is linked to rare blood clots in adults. leading scientists urge the public to continue getting the jab, saying the benefits far outweigh the risks. the risks of getting sick or dying of covid for all the people currently being offered first and second doses are far and away greater than any small theoretical risk that may exist relating to these cases, which are extremely rare. the third covid vaccine approved for use in the uk will begin rolling out later today, with people in wales the first to get the moderna jab. please do get in touch with your thoughts on the uk vaccine roll—out —
