because at the time of the restraint period, mr floyd was not resisting, he was in the prone position, and he was handcuffed. the latest wave of coronavirus is causing terrible loss of life in brazil. cemeteries in sao paulo are having to carry out some burials at night. new information on tiger woods's car crashes new information on tiger woods's car crashe , ., , ., . _ crashes been released. police say he was travelling _ crashes been released. police say he was travelling at _ crashes been released. police say he was travelling at 80 _ crashes been released. police say he was travelling at 80 mph, _ crashes been released. police say he was travelling at 80 mph, wade - crashes been released. police say he i was travelling at 80 mph, wade above the speed limit. —— way above it. let's begin with another shift on the advice on the oxford astrazeneca vaccine. this is the european medicines agency. the reported cases of unusual blood clotting following vaccination with the astrazeneca vaccine should be listed as possible side

effects of the vaccine. the ema now believes there is a link between unusual blood clots and the astrazeneca jab. and it's said this, too. the benefits of the astrazeneca vaccine in preventing covid—19 overall outweigh the risk of side effects. so, we're now being told that unusual blood clots are a rare side effect of the jab — but the risk is so small, the vaccine should still be used. we've also heard this from the committee that advises the uk government on vaccines. adults who are aged 18 to 29 years old who do not have an underlying health condition that puts them at higher risk from serious covid—19 disease should be offered an alternative covid—19 vaccine in preference to the astrazeneca vaccine where such an alternative vaccine is available. so in the uk, under—30s

will be offered the pfizer or moderna vaccines — not the astrazeneca. next, this is the head of the uk agency that clears medicines for use. our review has reinforced that the risk of this rare suspected side effect remains extremely small. by 31 march, over 20 million doses having been given, we have had 79 case reports up to and including that date, 31 march. all 79 cases occurred after the first dose. of these 79 cases, 19 people have sadly died. lots of numbers there — that means about four out of every million people who are vaccinated have been affected. next, i want to show you this slide which was presented at the uk press conference — it helps to explain the decision to not give astrazeneca to under—30s. the potential benefits

are on the left, the potential harms on the right. and this is for a scenario where coronavirus isn't circulating heavily — a scenario the uk is on course to reach. and you can see that for the 20 to 29 age group, the benefit figure is 0.8 and the harm figure is 1.1. in other words, for under 30s, for whom risks from coronavirus are low, the risk of harm from the vaccine is higher than from the virus itself. sifting through all of these numbers is difficult. let's hearfrom david spiegelhalter, who's professor of statistics at the university of cambridge. covid is a disease that really hits the elderly more, and so the benefit of the vaccination does go down as you get into younger groups of the population. and frankly, you know, a lot of the benefit in vaccinating younger people is to stop transmission and to benefit the whole of society,

asjune raine pointed out. but it looks like, with this harm, this particular, you know, combination of very unpleasant side effects, does hit younger people more. and so you've got the younger people who are getting less benefit and more harms — and at some point, you'll kind of cross a threshold that says, "well, actually, it'll be better to give them something else." this move from the uk follows other countries who have restricted use of the astrazeneca jab in different ways. france and canada aren't giving it to under—55s. germany and south korea aren't giving it to under—60s. sweden, lithuania, and finland aren't giving it to under—65s. and norway and denmark have suspended its use entirely. the former labour mep richard corbett has tweeted...

dr anthony cox is drug safety researcher at the university of birmingham. doctor cox, very good to have you back on the programme. when we spoke in the immediate aftermath of those suspensions in europe, you said that decision wasn't rational. would you use the same decision to describe what the uk has done today? know, because the — what the uk has done today? know, because the evidence _ what the uk has done today? know, because the evidence has _ what the uk has done today? know, because the evidence has changed. | what the uk has done today? know, | because the evidence has changed. in fact, if you look at the european decisions on who they are restricting the vaccine to now, they still don't have evidence for the older groups that they've restricted it for. so avenues evidence changes, you change your position — and just as professorjonathan van tam mentioned, we've had a change of evidence. that's entirely the way things should work. but prematurely pausing or completely suspending the

vaccine reduces the availability of a vaccine that has greater benefits thanit a vaccine that has greater benefits than it has harms. but a vaccine that has greater benefits than it has harms.— a vaccine that has greater benefits than it has harms. but when we last soke, than it has harms. but when we last spoke. you — than it has harms. but when we last spoke. you are _ than it has harms. but when we last spoke, you are saying _ than it has harms. but when we last spoke, you are saying there's - than it has harms. but when we last spoke, you are saying there's no - spoke, you are saying there's no direct evidence between this jab and these blood clots. but now you're telling us that the evidence has changed, that there now is a connection that you accept? so when this safety signal _ connection that you accept? so when this safety signal - _ connection that you accept? so when this safety signal - you _ connection that you accept? so when this safety signal - you get _ connection that you accept? so when this safety signal - you get these - this safety signal — you get these safety signals coming through, and this creates a signal which is then investigated, further reports come in, and you collect more reports. as you collect more reports, that'll either strengthen or weaken the signal. we've had some possible biological mechanisms around immune reaction that sort of strength in the signal. so although we can't 100% say that the vaccine causes this condition, you get to a certain

stage where you start to say," ok, it looks more likely than not that the vaccine may be linked to this extremely rare side effect." so therefore you change your position. that's why my position has changed over the past two weeks, as the evidence has come in.— over the past two weeks, as the evidence has come in. what about the broader messaging _ evidence has come in. what about the broader messaging around _ evidence has come in. what about the broader messaging around this - broader messaging around this vaccine? because we've also discussed that even if there may be a very tiny risk to discuss that publicly every time, probably shifting expectations around the vaccine and potentially impacting the take—up of the vaccine, do you have any concerns on that front about what the uk has done? t have any concerns on that front about what the uk has done? i think es, i about what the uk has done? i think yes. i think — about what the uk has done? i think yes. i think every — about what the uk has done? i think yes, i think every time _ about what the uk has done? i think yes, i think every time side - about what the uk has done? i think yes, i think every time side effects l yes, i think every time side effects come up in the context of the vaccine, i think there is a danger that you can create situations where people may become more hesitant. i think it would be even worse if we weren't completely transparent with the public about the side effects coming in and being analysed. so having a transparent system where we look at the material that comes in,

make decisions on it on a scientific basis and follow that through... that increases transparency and should increase trust. the uk's position is no different from the european medicines agency, the same decisions have been made virtually step—by—step over the past 3—4 weeks. i don't think the uk is doing the wrong thing, both neem and the hm ra -- nhra... they the wrong thing, both neem and the hm ra —— nhra... theyjust need to be clear with people that these risks exist. be clear with people that these risks exist-— be clear with people that these risks exist. ., ., ., ., risks exist. doctor cox, i want to understand _ risks exist. doctor cox, i want to understand this _ risks exist. doctor cox, i want to understand this because - risks exist. doctor cox, i want to understand this because you - risks exist. doctor cox, i want to understand this because you are| understand this because you are saying this level of transparency today from the european regulator and the uk regulator is appropriate and the uk regulator is appropriate and correct — but you are also critical of the level of transparency we saw from the germans, the norwegians and the danes where they suspended the vaccine temporarily? t danes where they suspended the vaccine temporarily?— vaccine temporarily? i wasn't critical of _

vaccine temporarily? i wasn't critical of the _ vaccine temporarily? i wasn't critical of the transparency, l vaccine temporarily? i wasn't critical of the transparency, i | vaccine temporarily? i wasn't - critical of the transparency, i was critical of the transparency, i was critical of the decision to pause or suspend the vaccine, which i think is a different matter. they decided on a purely precautionary basis to completely suspend the vaccine before they really analysed the facts or allowed the ema to look at the facts. now they are in a position where they have a vaccine which the european medicines agency has said the benefits outweigh the harms, yet they have restricted it in age groups that could actually benefit from the vaccines while they have cases of covid rising and some of these european countries. so those decisions, i think the europeans should actually be revisiting the decisions they've made at a state level with regards to the risks of the vaccine and think about extending these to the astrazeneca vaccine and the younger age groups. astrazeneca vaccine and the younger are u-rous. ., ., astrazeneca vaccine and the younger are r-rous. ., ., ., , age groups. doctor cox, always appreciate — age groups. doctor cox, always appreciate you _ age groups. doctor cox, always appreciate you coming - age groups. doctor cox, always appreciate you coming on - age groups. doctor cox, always appreciate you coming on the l appreciate you coming on the programme. it's day eight of what's expected to be a month long trial,

of the former police officer derek chauvin — who is accused of killing a black man, george floyd — by kneeling on his neck on may 25, 2020 in minneapolis. the court is just coming back from recess now, butjust before the break, the lead investigator on the case was brought in for questioning. we'll bring you some of that shortly. but first, have a listen to sergeantjody stiger, an independent expert on police use—of—force, who gave the jury this analysis, earlier in the day. based on my analysis, mr floyd never... he was not actively resisting at the time that he was in the prone position, nor did he communicate to them that he was attempting to resist or evade them. let's speak to our correspondent larry madowo — he's in minneapolis. larry, we heard a short clip there, but bring us more up—to—date on what's been happening today.

sergeant steiger has been testifying, and the summary of his testimony is that as an independent use of force expert, it was unnecessary and excessive, what derek chauvin did during the arrest of george floyd last may. he was asked by the cross—examination lawyer, the lead attorney for derek chauvin, "have you heard that it is awful but lawful, the use of force in some cases when you have a suspect who is resisting arrest?" and he said, "sometimes it is unlawful, it isjust and he said, "sometimes it is unlawful, it is just awful." so the argument the defence has been trying to make throughout this case, that use of force is unattractive but necessary, he seems to disagree with that. he also was shown training logs that derek chauvin went through, and they arrive at a number — derek chauvin had 866 hours of

paid training, and he should have been prepared for the distraction of a crowd yelling and screaming at, and filming him during the arrest of george floyd. itruiiiiii and filming him during the arrest of george floyd-— george floyd. will talk to more later in the _ george floyd. will talk to more later in the programme, - george floyd. will talk to more later in the programme, and i george floyd. will talk to more| later in the programme, and i'll george floyd. will talk to more - later in the programme, and i'll let you take shelterfrom later in the programme, and i'll let you take shelter from the rain. brazil has recorded over 4,000 coronavirus deaths in 2a hours — that's its worst day since the start of the pandemic. the death toll is over 330,000. and the situation is pressing with thousands of patients struggling to access health care. this is an icu doctor in the town of porto alegre in southern brazil. we have been working at full capacity for quite some time right now. what we are seeing is that it has been a long time since we have attended patients with anything other than covid in intensive care units. and everyone is exhausted right now.

we are exhausted because we haven't seen our families for such a long time — for instance, i haven't seen my relatives for the best of 15 months. also, we are not hopeful that anything can change in the following weeks. we are vaccinating at a very slow pace right now. so as of today, less than 5% of brazilians have been fully vaccinated. next, i want to show you this graph which shows the death toll. in march alone, over 66,000 died — that was double the previous monthly record. that's put pressure on cemeteries. this one in sao paulo is continuing burials through the night. also in sao paolo is this doctor. we're having difficulties in getting people trained enough to manage critically ill patients.

it was exactly one year that i made the first autopsy of covid—19 in our hospital, and identified the nature of the disease. and i was — at that time, i didn't imagine the impact and extent that it has reached in brazil. and because of this rare and bizarre combination of those policies, also the social vulnerability of the whole nation because some levels of the population cannot afford to do social isolation, and also by the emergence of the new variants. the variant he's talking about is called p1 — it's more commonly known as the brazilian variant, and is thought to be twice as transmissable as the original strain of covid—19. it was first detected in manaus in the amazon in november. within two months, it was accounting

for 73% of cases in the city. and now, its spread far beyond the amazon. it's now driving a surge in infections in peru, uruguay, paraguay, bolivia, venezuela, and argentina. here's dr paulo salvida again on why this strain is different. this new variant, we have cases at the younger age. so now, people under 14 are in parallel, at the same extent affected as compared with older people. so we are having more young people suffering and even children dying because of the lack of vaccines. the system is on the edge of collapse. there are now concerns that this variant will impact for months. one doctor who coordinated the pandemic response in north—eastern brazil is warning...

that means an additional 170,000 deaths in the next three months. 170,000. and bear in mind that, while some countries like france have brought in lockdowns to deal with new variants, brazil is easing restrictions. this is one example. this picture is from sao paulo on tuesday — as you can see, the train station is packed. and this is one epidemiologist why brazil's approach is causing problems. the difference between the p1 variant here and the others is that the p1 variant is circulating pretty much freely here in brazil. so we are not adopting the lockdown measures needed, many people are not using masks — so the variant is facing a very friendly route to go disseminate and infect people. this is what concerns me the most.

another factor is brazil's vaccine roll—out. it started in january — and around 8% of the population has received at least one dose. this man is responsible for the roll—out. marcelo queiroga is brazil's health minister — he's the fourth person to do the job since the pandemic began. and he's a doctor which some are finding reassuring. here's dr pedro hallal again. the new minister, he is trying to do things based on science. his main enemy is the president himself. so realistically, the new minister's trying to do things right. we have accelerated the vaccination — so our goal needs to be 1.5 million doses per day, and we are actually getting to1 million per day, which is actually good because our previous average was around 300,000 per day. and this minister admits the possibility of doing lockdowns, which is something

that the president doesn't admit. now we've heard from a lot of people already, but the man at the centre of this story is brazil's president jair bolsonaro. he's played down the severity of the virus, defended unproven drugs as treatment, raised doubts about vaccines, and has resisted national lockdowns. and he has many critics. one of them is the governor of rio grande. what we are facing here in brazil, what we have here is a sad situation that is the consequence of the lack of coordination at the federal level by the national government. but we have here is president bolsonaro confronting governors and mayors. and the main tool that we have, the main weapon that we have to not allow the coronavirus to spread in an easy way — and the weapon is social distancing.

his behaviour is unfortunately killing brazilians, and it is hurting our economy. there's also long been a tension between messages from the government and from state governments. on that this is a cardiologist in sao paulo. the problem is that every day, we watch someone i from the president's team giving contradictory information - to the population. this is a political scenario - of polarisation, it gives people away from the reality. it's common to see people thinking that the number. of deaths is not so high, - or seeking ineffective treatments supported by these statements. we hope that this newl minister can change it. brazil's president has shifted his tone on immunisations recently —

pledging to make 2021 the "year of vaccinations". however, his position on lockdown remains the same. last week, he said... for further analysis, here's the bbc�*s south america reporter daniel gallas. the specialists in brazil, health experts don't really know whether, you know, the absence of lockdown may have contributed to this worsening of the crisis. could it also have been that brazilians are more relaxed throughout the summer? they're not adopting social distancing practices? all of that, we have seen — but of course, the manaus variant is more deadly and spreading more easily, and also it may not be as resistant to the vaccine, although vaccines are proven to tackle the manaus variant. and of course, this is a threat to the world as well because, as we've seen in these variants, it's almost impossible to contain them in one country,

and they can spread across borders even if travel is banned from countries. let's look at the impact of this variant beyond brazil. we know a number of other countries are also struggling to contain it. one of them is canada. the state of british columbia borders the us, and it now has one of the biggest outbreaks of the variant outside brazil. it's detected 877 cases in the past month. and many of those hospitalised have been younger patients. the outbreak has forced the closure of one of north america's biggest ski resorts in whistler. and it's hit vancouver's ice hockey team — the canucks. according to the wall streetjournal 16 players have either tested positive or come in close contact with an infected person. as well as in british columbia — the brazil variant has also been found in ontario and alberta. kim mackrael wrote that article for the wall streetjournal. she's in ottawa.

first of all, sorry, how important is this brazil variant to the general state of covid in canada? t general state of covid in canada? i think the best way to describe it is that it's becoming increasingly important. right now, it does not represent the dominant form of covid—19 across canada nationally or specific to a pc. and even when you look at the variance, the uk variant is actually proportionally bigger of the known purported cases compared with the brazil variant. but what we're seeing especially in particular in brazil is this really rapid growth of the brazil variant, and that's what has people more concerned about that particular one. i'll add just a little bit detail quickly about what you just mentioned around the closure of the whistler ski resort and the canucks, just to clarify i don't know for

certain if the variant was involved in the canucks outbreak. we just wrote that it was a covid—19 outbreak and it wasn't necessarily known that it was this brazil variant, sojust known that it was this brazil variant, so just to clarify that point. variant, so 'ust to clarify that oint. , , point. let me 'ust “ump in there, kim, and point. let me 'ust “ump in there, «rm. and ask h point. let me just “ump in there, kim, and ask you,_ point. let me justjump in there, kim, and ask you, and _ point. let me justjump in there, kim, and ask you, and we - point. let me justjump in there, - kim, and ask you, and we appreciate the clarification, what's the national strategy and a state—level strategy to respond to the current state of the pandemic in canada? yeah, so canada has, you know, probably the best way to describe how restrictions have rolled out across the country is it really has been a patchwork. each individual province is responsible for setting up province is responsible for setting up its own restrictions, and that's led to in some cases some confusion, a lot of changes over time which a lot ofjurisdictions have had. in

some cases, it has allowed some provinces to be a little bit more targeted and also to ease up on restrictions where they found that cases of the virus are slowing down a little bit. so it's played out in both ways. right now you're seeing, especially for some of canada's larger provinces, ontario, quebec, bc, alberta, you're seeing further restrictions being put on. so bc just last week at the same time they closed the whistler ski resort, they also shut indoor fitness, indoor dining, you saw ontario shutdown indoor dining and patio dining, and we are actually waiting to hear a bit more as others here are about whether ontario will introduce even more strict restrictions really any time now for the next hour... kim, i mustjump — time now for the next hour... kim, i mustjump in _ time now for the next hour... kim, i mustjump in because _ time now for the next hour... kim, i mustjump in because we've - time now for the next hour... kim, i mustjump in because we've run - time now for the next hour... kim, i mustjump in because we've run up| mustjump in because we've run up against the end of the half—hour. i think you forjoining us, and for

those of us watching, you can read it kim's report on the wall street journal website. we'll be back in a couple of minutes. hello. it's hard to think of two weeks of spring weather that could be more opposite. last week, we had the warmth, temperatures into the 20s. this week, it's the cold, the frost, the snow, not even as much sunshine around the wintry showers today. we are turning things for the next couple of days a little less cold, the arrows not pointing down from the north, but coming in from the atlantic instead. but it'll be very short—lived, because the arctic air comes right back at us into the weekend. now with this less—cold air coming in from the atlantic, we're starting to bring in a bit more cloud today, and we may see a bit of rain out of that, as well. northern ireland through the evening, overnight pushing them toward scotland, the western side, some rain into wales and western parts of england. east of all of that, with any clear spells, temperatures will still fall low enough for a touch of frost, but not as cold as it was last night.

so tomorrow, plenty of cloud around again — out of that cloud, some rain, particularly northwest scotland with a strengthening wind here. elsewhere, it willjust be very patchy in nature — some sunny spells in northeast scotland until the afternoon, and for east anglia and the southeast, although a fair amount of cloud, a few brighter breaks, but not much of any rain as we get into the evening. the winds are picking up with the rain in scotland, it's a breezier day elsewhere — but remember, this is that less—cold air coming in from the west, which is why there are actually some double—figure temperatures showing for thursday. now as we go on through the evening, we'll take this area of rain, clear it away from scotland, push it across northern ireland and into northern england — that's our cold front, behind which the arctic air is coming back. on friday, it's very slowly moving further south through england and wales where it clears from northern england, northern ireland, and scotland back into the cold arctic air. there'll be some sunshine around

again, also a few wintry showers, and these snow showers are packing in once again to northern scotland. now looking at the picture going into the weekend, the cold front clears away only to be replaced by more weather fronts heading up from the south this time, toward southern england. some uncertainty about how far north any rain will get from those on saturday before clearing on into sunday, so keep across the forecast. but for many areas over the weekend, it's cold, quite sunny, chance of a few wintry showers — and coming back will be those frosty nights again.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. there's new advice from regulators, on the astrazeneca vaccine. unusual blood clots will not be listed as a rare side effect, but stressed that the vaccine is highly effective and is saving lives. the benefits of the astrazeneca vaccine in preventing covid—19 overall outweigh the risks of side effects. the uk now says under—30s will be given a different vaccine instead. the risks of blood clots are very small, we'll take you through the detail. also in the programme... more police testify against former officer derek chauvin. one police expert says the pressure from his knee on george floyd's neck

constituted deadly force. my opinion was that no force should've been used when he was in that position. the should've been used when he was in that position-— that position. the king of jordan sa s that position. the king of jordan says sedition — that position. the king of jordan says sedition in _ that position. the king of jordan says sedition in his _ that position. the king of jordan says sedition in his country - that position. the king of jordan says sedition in his country hasl says sedition in his country has been nipped in the bud. the kings half—brother has been accused of conspiring against the government. new information on tiger woods car crash has been released from a police a has suv was travelling at more than 80 mph. it's day eight of what's expected to be a month—long trial for the former police officer derek chauvin in minneapolis. the lead investigator is being questioned now. we will listen to what's been said in court in a

moment. here is a reminder of the background on the story. derek chauvin is accused of killing george floyd, by kneeling on his neck on may 25th, 2020, while arresting floyd for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill. the incident took place in a city street in minneapolis, minnesota — a city with a predomenantly white population. and george floyd's death triggered worldwide black lives matter protests over racial injustice. to remind you — the white police officer, derek chauvin is facing three charges. second—degree unintentional murder, which would find chauvin guilty of causing george floyd's death while assaulting him. this is the most serious charge and carries a presumed sentence of 10—15 years. third—degree murder, which would require prosecutors to prove that someone caused the death of another "by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life." and second—degree manslaughter — in order to convict chauvin of second—degree manslaughter, prosecutors will need to show

just help us put what we are hearing in context. why is the prosecution calling this witness? 50. in context. why is the prosecution calling this witness?— calling this witness? so, this is secial calling this witness? so, this is special agent — calling this witness? so, this is special agent james _ calling this witness? so, this is special agent james who i calling this witness? so, this is special agent james who is i calling this witness? so, this is| special agent james who is with calling this witness? so, this is i special agent james who is with the special agent james who is with the bureau of criminal apprehension. this is the body in the state of minnesota that would investigate criminal incidents like this, a homicide. and he is talking through the investigative process, instance, right across the convenience store where george boyd was arrested, he is talking about why they didn't give —— george floyd, why they didn't give the security camera footage until they got an arrest warrant. they want to walk through the prosecution from a process that went into investigating the fatal arrest of george floyd. from the moment the squad cars were taken away to when the bureau of criminal apprehension was brought in, the car is getting processed and all through that, to show the level of meticulousness that went into it, but also to preempt any questions from the prosecution about any sloppiness in that process, but the main theme here is to try and show

that all the policing authorities here, the entire law enforcement agencies did theirjob and to prove, as they have been trying to do for two weeks now that derek chauvin violated department policy. i just violated department policy. i 'ust want to be sure i violated department policy. i 'ust want to be sure that i'm i want to be sure that i'm understanding the different roles of some of the people we are hearing from. so how does this investigation that we see here fit with, say, the police chief who we heard from earlier in the trial. how do they fit together in terms of the power structure within minneapolis police? so the bureau of criminal apprehension is a separate body in the state of minnesota, and in the initial interviews that happens, the fbi was involved, but many of the witnesses we have seen on the stand have all spoken to the bureau of criminal apprehension. they have given statements, they are provided videos, they have provided medical records like he was talking for instance of george floyd. the section of that police fraternity,

he's in charge of the minneapolis police department. there are 700 officers that work under him and they respond to 911 calls, they handle crime in the city and are the public face of policing in this city, the bureau of criminal apprehension is much more, according to my understanding of the investigating body.- to my understanding of the investigating body. very useful. lar , as investigating body. very useful. larrv. as ever. _ investigating body. very useful. larry, as ever, thank _ investigating body. very useful. larry, as ever, thank you i investigating body. very useful. larry, as ever, thank you very l investigating body. very useful. i larry, as ever, thank you very much for guiding us through it. now we are going to stay in the us, because we havejust now we are going to stay in the us, because we have just heard more information about that car crash that tiger woods was in. it's been released by the police. let's bring in peter bowes who is going to guide us through all of this. just before you do, you may remember that it happened on the border of the rolling hills estates and this was the aftermath, we know he was alone in his suv, the vehicle hit the central reservation from across the opposite lane and then hit a curb into a tree, rolled over several times, a really terrible crash. he

was taken to hospital with a shattered leg. this is the la county sheriff a little while ago. the estimated — sheriff a little while ago. inez estimated speeds that sheriff a little while ago. i“i9: estimated speeds that the sheriff a little while ago. ii9 estimated speeds that the first area of impact was 87 mph. the final estimated speed when the vehicle struck the tree was 75 mph. there were no citations issued and there are no signs of impairment. i know there is a lot of experts who claim that there is a drug connection, they should've drawn blood or done this or done that, and without the signs of impairment, we don't get to the point where we can actually offer a search warrant and execute that search one, so that did not happen, and that is not preferential treatment, that would occur in any collision of this type based on the circumstances. peter bowes is in la with the details. no explanation at all for why he was going twice the speed limit? that no explanation at all for why he was going twice the speed limit?- going twice the speed limit? that is the question — going twice the speed limit? that is the question that _ going twice the speed limit? that is the question that is _ going twice the speed limit? that is the question that is still _ going twice the speed limit? that is the question that is still hanging. i the question that is still hanging. yes, _ the question that is still hanging. yes, absolutely, the speed limit on that stretch of road is 45 mph, as

and if we don't talk about these things it becomes something that has a massive stigma around it. 16—year—old allon is a young carer and often feels isolated. claire has also experienced loneliness. i feel like the minute you say this person is a young person, they are always on the phone, they are talking to their friends, they are always connected. yes, i have my phone or maybe i text my friends. but doesn't mean i'm not lonely. lockdown, isolation and social distancing has jed usually djs in care homes but has been unable to because of the pandemic. through the charity manchester cares, he has been able to connect with different age groups struggling with loneliness. so i have been lucky enough to have a laptop and join in with activities. the older people welcome listening to a younger person's point of view. and in the opposite way the younger people like listening to the older people's tales, you know, of things gone by and in the past, what we used to do. for some people, lockdown has been the first experience of loneliness.

for others, it has been a long—term problem. for those wanting to break the stigma, highlighting the issue offers hope. elaine dunkley, bbc news, in manchester. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... european regulators say unusiual blood clots should be listed as a very rare side effect of the astrazeneva vaccine — but they stress its benefits outweigh any risks. the king ofjordan has spoken out for the first time to a ground—breaking discovery that could usher in a new era of physics. scientists say they've found strong evidence for the existence of a new force of nature. the team working at the fermi particle accelerator say they found that sub—atomic particles were not behaving in the way predicted by the current theory of sub—atomic physics. our science correspondent pallab ghosh explains. the theories of modern physics have

given scientists a new understanding of how the universe works. but the current ideas aren't able to solve some of the biggest scientific puzzles, such as how the universe as we know it came into existence. now, scientists at fermi lab, a particle accelerator just outside chicago, have got a result that might take us a big step forward in answering those questions. they've been accelerating particles inside this giant ring close to the speed of light, and they found that they might be behaving in a way that can't be explained by the current theory of physics at the subatomic level. we found that the interaction of a muon, which is a heavy electron with a magnetic field is not in agreement with our current best theory of physics, and clearly that's very exciting, because it potentially points to a future of new laws, new particles and new forces in physics which we haven't seen up to date. you have heard of electrons, well,

there are similar particles called muons which are much heavier and spin like tops. in the experiment, they were made to wobble using magnets. the current theory suggests they should wobble at a certain rate, instead, they wobbled faster. this might be caused by a mystery force that in turn is created by another yet to be discovered particle. scientists believe that there are four fundamental forces of nature, one for gravity, another for electricity and two nuclear forces, which control the behaviour of atoms. together, they explain the way the world works, but in recent years, astronomers began noticing things in space that can't be explained by the four forces, such as galaxies spinning faster than they should. and they can't explain why the stars and planets and everything on them, including us, exist at all. the new result suggests there might be a fifth force which could explain some of these mysteries. i think it's quite mind—boggling,

and they have the potential to turn physics on its head. we have a number of mysteries that remain unsolved, and this could give us the key answers to solve these mysteries. evidence for the fifth force has been growing, just two weeks ago, researchers at the large hydron colliderjust outside geneva had a similar result. the race is really on now to try and get one of these experiments to really get the proof that this really is something new. they will take more data and make more measurements and hopefully show evidence that these effects are real. these very early results aren't definitive yet, but they are generating a lot of excitement about the prospect of a giant leap forward in our understanding of the universe. pallab ghosh, bbc news. now let's update you on a story we have been covering for the last few days. the king ofjordan has spoken out for the first time

about what his government is describing as an attempted coup by the king's half—brother, prince hamza. a statement by king abdullah was read out on state television saying the situation had been brought under control. translation: this has been nipped in the but end it will stay this way and gods well. today at hamzah is in his palace under my protection. in regards to the other matters, they are still under investigation based on the law. this is prince hamzah. we already knew there had been something of a rapprochment between him and the king after he signed a letter on monday pledging his allegiance. that was something of a turnaround after what happened on saturday. the prince leaked this video to the bbc, accusing the country's leaders of corruption, incompetence, and harassment. and he said he'd been placed under house arrest. lyse doucet is our chief international correspondent.

lam i am getting quite confused about the story. help me out with it. well, what you have seen now is king abdullah up reacting for the first time to this unprecedented crisis within his family and his country, and basically telling the people of jordan this edition has been nipped in the bud, jordan is safe and sound and all that you heard about my brother, the problems between me and my half—brother hamzah, we have resolved it. within the traditions of the hashemite family. so he is trying to reassure what is very much a shocked and jittery nation after notjust a shocked and jittery nation after not just the video a shocked and jittery nation after notjust the video you mentioned from prince hamzah who is a former crown prince, but also about an alleged plot in which the prince is alleged plot in which the prince is alleged to have conspired with other prominent individuals as well as foreign parties to destabilise the kingdom. so this is stage one, if you like, that they are saying, we have resolved the family issue, we are resolving the other ones within

the law. but are resolving the other ones within the law. �* :. are resolving the other ones within the law. �* ., , ., ., ,. ., the law. but what did you make of that phrase _ the law. but what did you make of that phrase when _ the law. but what did you make of that phrase when the _ the law. but what did you make of that phrase when the king - the law. but what did you make of that phrase when the king said i the law. but what did you make of| that phrase when the king said that prince times i was under his protection? some people might think that's a euphemism for something else. ~ ., that's a euphemism for something else. ~ :, :, that's a euphemism for something else. ~ ., ., ., else. well, one of the other translations _ else. well, one of the other translations was _ else. well, one of the other translations was care. in i else. well, one of the other i translations was care. in other words, that no harm will come to him, because there is still some uncertainty. prince hamzah himself released his recording of what happened when the chief of general staff came into his house. the prince said, well who sends you here? has the king sent you here? so we wonder whether the king is trying to draw a line between what happened and his own relationships within the family, that this is something quite different. find family, that this is something quite different. : . family, that this is something quite different. : , ., ._ different. and in terms of the way that this is _ different. and in terms of the way that this is being _ different. and in terms of the way that this is being discussed i different. and in terms of the way that this is being discussed and i that this is being discussed and covered injordan, what is your assessment of how key players within the media and within politics are

reacting? the media and within politics are reactin: ? ~ �* . , the media and within politics are reactin: ? ~ �*. , ., ., reacting? well, it's very hard to net a reacting? well, it's very hard to get a really _ reacting? well, it's very hard to get a really accurate _ reacting? well, it's very hard to get a really accurate perception| get a really accurate perception because underjordanian law, jordanianjournalists because underjordanian law, jordanian journalists can go under __ go jordanian journalists can go under —— go to prison for slandering the king or royalfamily. and we had a day or so ago and order from the kingdom saying that any coverage of prince hamzah was forbidden, even on social media. now, today, there was a clarification of fact by the attorney general through the official state news agency saying, we don't mean to say that nothing should be covered, only regarding the investigation into prince hamzah into the other alleged coup plotters because that is a judicial matter. again, it's raising big questions. first of all, there is the accusations that prince hamzah made against the governing structure in jordan stop ijust briefly if you would. there is also some 20 people who have been arrested. so where does this go and how does the king deal

so tomorrow, plenty of cloud around again — out of that cloud, some rain, particularly northwest scotland with a strengthening wind here. elsewhere, it willjust be very patchy in nature — some sunny spells in northeast scotland until the afternoon, and for east anglia and the southeast, although a fair amount of cloud, a few brighter breaks, but not much of any rain as we get into the evening. the winds are picking up with the rain in scotland, it's a breezier day elsewhere — but remember, this is that less—cold air coming in from the west, which is why there are actually some double—figure temperatures showing for thursday. now as we go on through the evening, we'll take this area of rain, clear it away from scotland, push it across northern ireland and into northern england — that's our cold front, behind which the arctic air is coming back. on friday, it's very slowly moving further south through england and wales where it clears from northern england, northern ireland, and scotland back into the cold arctic air. there'll be some sunshine around

again, also a few wintry showers, and these snow showers are packing in once again to northern scotland. now looking at the picture going into the weekend, the cold front clears away only to be replaced by more weather fronts heading up from the south this time, toward southern england. some uncertainty about how far north any rain will get from those on saturday before clearing on into sunday, so keep across the forecast. but for many areas over the weekend, it's cold, quite sunny, chance of a few wintry showers — and coming back will be those frosty nights again.

this is bbc news. i'm kasia madera. the headlines at 8pm. people under the age of 30 in the uk are to be offered an alternative to the astrazeneca covid vaccine, because of evidence linking it to extremely rare blood clots in a very small number of cases. this is a course change. it is based on a clinical preference based on newly emerging data. it will be kept under very careful review. the eu drug regulator also updated its guidance, concluding that unusual blood clots should be listed as a very rare side effect. both the european and uk regulators agree that the benefits of the astrazeneca jab heavily outweigh the risks. also this hour... we will have your
