in, and it is sort of busy, but nothing like what the underground can be on a rush—hour, but we do have to start thinking about unlocking and hairdressers? come on, that's what need desperately. fih. unlocking and hairdressers? come on, that's what need desperately.- that's what need desperately. oh, my aoodness. that's what need desperately. oh, my goodness- my — that's what need desperately. oh, my goodness. my hairdresser _ that's what need desperately. oh, my goodness. my hairdresser got - that's what need desperately. oh, my goodness. my hairdresser got in - goodness. my hairdresser got in touch with me because my hair is looking so bad, like, we really need to talk! that you are right, and christopher is right, and we've got this sort of paradox, because we are all desperate to get back to normal and with each other and have the i contact, be with each other in a studio or at work, but there is also anxiety about getting back to the old way of life. i think quite a lot of people do not want to get back on a rush—hour tube and be pushed up against someone's armpit or something like that, so i think it is really important that the people who are running the transportation do try and reassure people. i think it is a really good thing that train service are coming back on, train

travel is really important to people. i myself cannot we to get back on a train back to glasgow to see my mum and dad up there, it is been a really long time. that is —— there's been anxiety, but we have to send a message we can get some normality soon. infrastructures could be massive part of that. is certainly is, but the thought of being stuck under someone's rfid again, i'm not very tall! next for the memories of that! —— someone's armpit. let's and on a non—coven related story. myanmar�*s ambassador in london has been locked out of his embassy. what is going on? it}?! embassy. what is going on? of course, we are following the coup, the nrilitery— course, we are following the coup, the military takeover, in myanmar, and it— the military takeover, in myanmar, and it turns — the military takeover, in myanmar, and it turns out that the abbasid are in— and it turns out that the abbasid are in london is somewhat of a hero. he has— are in london is somewhat of a hero. he has treen— are in london is somewhat of a hero. he has been speaking out against this -- _ he has been speaking out against this -- the —

i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. we start with football because it's been a great night for chelsea in the champions league. thomas tuchel�*s side have taken control of their quarterfinal with a convincing 2—0 win over porto. both legs are being held in seville because of covid travel restrictions. and mason mount opened the scoring for chelsea with this finish, and mason mount opened the scoring for chelsea with that lovely finish, before defender ben chilwell put his side in total control as he rounded the keeper and doubled chelsea's lead. and this was chelsea's away tie as well, with the away goal rule being used. i feel a good atmosphere ifeel a good atmosphere in the dressing room. we are happy but not too happy, we are excited by not overexcited, and we have a very aware that today we made a few good attacks, we made a lot, we got two goals today. it was hard for us to create changes in the box. it was hard for us to find the right rhythm

to attack for a long time, the second half was a bit more controlled, but overall we escaped with a very, very good result. reigning champions bayern munich will have it all to do in their second leg, though. the german were beaten 3—2 at home by paris saint germain. thomas muller had levelled the tie at 2—2 for bayern, but a second goal from kylian mbappe put the french side in control in the snow in munich. the second legs of both ties are on tuesday. now, liverpool say racist abuse on social media "cannot be allowed to continue" after their players trent alexander—arnold and naby keita were targeted. both had racist emojis sent to them on instagram in the lead up to tuesday's champions league tie with real madrid. in a statement, the club said... ..and added that it...

staying with football, there's good news for fans in scotland, because the scottish government has given approval for 12,000 supporters to attend euro 2020 matches at hampden injune. so that would be 25% of the stadium's capacity. organisers uefa had given the 12 host cities until today to submit plans for fan attendance — with venues likely to be changed if assurances weren't be given. hampden's set to host four games, starting with scotland's opener against the czech republic. but dublin's participation is in doubt after the irish government failed to give assurances. the final of the world snooker championship is set to be played in front of a capacity crowd on the 3rd of may. the tournament is part of the government's pilot scheme to ensure fans can safely return to sporting venues. the crucible can hold 980

spectators, and the plan is for it to be a third full for the opening round, increasing as the tournament progresses. face coverings will be required and fans will have to take a covid test before arriving and another five days afterwards. in snooker, we're all showmen and women, and without that crowd there to perform to, it's difficult. you imagine a west end singer walking on stage to nobody. it's very, very difficult. of course, the musical doesn't change and the sport hasn't changed. no one's moved the pockets. but we all like the 12th man analogy. the crowd are like the 12th man and they can bring that out of you. i hope i'm in the mix, but whoever�*s in the mix, it will be worth waiting for. now for golf fans, it might as well be christmas eve, because the first round of the masters gets under way tomorrow at augusta. now the tournament is back in its usual april home, after it was delayed until november last year. dustinjohnson hit a record low

score of 20—under par to claim his first greenjacket. but as patrick gearey reports, its expected to be a much tougher test this time around... augusta — beautiful, but savage. no place to wander off course. lee westwood knows his way around the azaleas. this will be his 20th masters. and now aged nearly 48, he's in some of the best form of his life. so could he outdo even the great jack nicklaus and become the oldest masters champion? like jack, he'll have his son on the bag, as caddy to his daddy. to have a chance to break one of his records would be very special. it's amazing that, you know, i'm old enough to have my son on the bag and still be competing in these tournaments and having sam here to enjoy the experience with me. i have to close his mouth every now and again when we're going around here.

you know, he loves it so much. this week, we'll be missing the ultimate master. woods' car crash means there will be no tiger at augusta. but you can still find other big beasts. bryson dechambeau's pursuit of power is changing the sport. and in his quest to smash the ball everfurther, this week, he'll use a new mystery club. but he thinks his legacy will be to help golf grow. where the massive gains will be is in athletes. i think once you get somebody out here that's a seven foot tall human being and they're able to swing a golf club at 145 mph effortlessly, that's when things get a little interesting. so, one day, there might be giants here. there have always been heroes and demons and, to watch them this year, patrons. unlike last year, the gates will be open and the masters will seem more familiar. but augusta is a place that should never feel normal. patrick gearey, bbc news. yeah, lots to look forward to.

but as patrick mentioned there, it won't really feel normal without tiger woods. the five—time champion is still recovering from a car crash, which this evening, the los angeles county sheriff has said was caused by "driving at a speed that was unsafe". they said he was travelling at up to 87 mph in february, when the speed limit was 45. there's lots more on all of those stories on the bbc sport website, but that's all the sport for now. have a good night. hello there. it was a cold, frosty start on wednesday with sunshine, but the cloud arrived and we closed out wednesday with quite a lot of clout around, acting like a blanket through the night, so temperature is not falling quite as far. in actual fact the wind direction changing for thursday to more of the westerly, and that's going to drive something in the tool less cold across the country, with the darker blues the

quarterjust being pushed out of the way for one day at least. also got some rain arriving with this area of low pressure, the wettest and the windiest of the weather always going to be into the far north—west for thursday. so, quite a lot of rain around, the wind strengthening here, thicker cloud along west—facing coasts of wales and south—west england will always bring the risk of the odd spot or two of light rain. sheltered eastern areas faring best in terms of drier, brighter weather but not that much in the way of sunshine. a breezy day, the strongest of the winds always going to be where the heaviest of the rain is. 6—8 celsius generally under the rain but we will see temperatures widely into double digits, slightly less cold for thursday afternoon. now, our weather front continues to push its way steadily south. that's where we'll see the cloud across england and wales. so, temperatures to start off on friday holding up above freezing but behind the cold front, the wind direction changing once again and those temperatures falling away. we will see a frost returning in sheltered rural areas — and, yes, with that northerly wind, continuing to drive in more wintry showers

across the far north of scotland. the frontal system sinks its way into central and southern england and wales. here, we mightjust see double figures, but behind it, drier, colder sunny spells and scattered wintry showers are set to continue. now, as the cold front eases away, and we move into saturday, this little fellow causing one or two problems. there's the potential across southern england, maybe as far north as east anglia seeing some rain. still subject to question, this. so, you'll need to keep watching the forecast. further north and west, it's the case of sunny spells and scattered wintry showers once again. it's going to be a cold day whether you're in the sunshine and wintry showers or whether you're under the cloud and rain. and that theme is set to continue for sunday as well. no signs of any significant warmth arriving over the next few days to come. take care.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. regulators say the benefits of the astrazeneca covid vaccine outweigh the small risk of blood clots, but the uk is to offer alternative jabs to young people. this is a change in clinical advice for the under—305. it will require some changes in the way that the national health service operationalises the vaccine roll—out programme. as the uk grants asylum to nathan law, ministers announce a new fund to help hong kong citizens to re—settle. at the trial of former police officer derek chauvin, a dramatic reversal of prosecution evidence over words uttered by george floyd as he lay pinned to the ground. we'll be live in minneapolis.
