the uk's medicine regulator, the mhra, says the evidence had been "firming up" that a link existed between rare blood clots and the vaccine. astrazeneca says it is working with officials to try to understand what is causing these "extremely rare events". our health correspondent, naomi grimley has more. vaccine take—up in the uk has so far been extremely successful, with 95% of the over—60s accepting their offers of a jab. officials are determined that this latest change in what they call clinical preferences doesn't see that progress stall. there's still no proven link between the astrazeneca vaccine and very rare blood clots, but the government accepts it should tweak its plans for younger age groups, where the risk—benefit calculation might be more finely balanced. yesterday, the deputy chief medical officer for england,

jonathan van—tam, said the decision to offer the under—305 an alternative to the astrazeneca vaccine was a course correction, but not about stopping or delaying. vaccines continue to be the way out for the uk. they continue to be the way in which we can get our lives back to normal, and our economy opened up again in the shortest time possible. so the message remains clear — everybody who has already had a first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine should receive a second dose of the same brand, except for the very small number who experience blood clots after their first vaccination. those who advise the government on vaccines want us all to understand the subtleties of risk in medicine. even aspirin, for example, has an incredibly rare condition — which is fatal in children — occasionally associated with it. so these things are...

they're not unusual. the risk balance is something we have to communicate because it is a little... sometimes a little difficult to get that concept across accurately. questions remain, however, about what this modified advice will do for vaccine confidence in general, and whether there will now be more pressure on global supplies of the pfizer and moderna vaccines if more countries also decide to offer alternatives to lower age groups. naomi grimley, bbc news. we will bejoined we will be joined by the health secretary matt hancock at 7:30am. scientists tracking coronavirus in england say the vaccination programme is beginning to break the link between covid—i9 cases and deaths. the latest react study by imperial college london, which involved analysing more than 140,000 people's swab tests between the 11th and 30th of march, found infections had fallen by roughly two thirds since february.

borisjohnson has said he's "deeply concerned" by scenes of violence in northern ireland — after another night of unrest in parts of belfast. police came under attack, petrol bombs and rocks were thrown, and a bus was hijacked and set on fire. 41 officers have been injured as a result of violence over the last few days, as james reynolds reports. at night in belfast, petrol bombs were thrown back and forth over this peace wall. the peace line divides the loyalist shankill road from the republican springfield road area. confrontations continued for more than an hour. those making the most noise appear to be young. one in a grey tracksuit made sure to film the confrontation himself. earlier in the shankill road area, a bus was hijacked and set alight. some loyalists say they're fed up of being treated as second—class citizens.

they're angry with official decisions they say favour sinn fein. the government says burning buses is not the answer. my thoughts are with the bus driver who was caught up in this incident. he is understandably very shaken, but thankfully he wasn't hurt, and thankfully there were no passengers on this particular bus. but the people who are behind this are attacking their own communities. it is achieving nothing and it needs to stop. it needs to stop now before somebody is seriously hurt or killed. nearby, on the other side of the divide, there were confrontations with the police. i think this is deeply worrying. it comes off the back of a series of violent incidents across the city and across the north as a whole over the last week or so. i think it has to be condemned outright. we're encouraging all young people to stay at home and stay away from scenes like this — it's the last thing that this city needs at the minute. borisjohnson has tweeted...

the chief constable, simon byrne, says... the northern ireland executive will now meet to discuss these past six nights of disturbances, and the assembly is cutting short its easter break to do the same. james reynolds, bbc news. a body found in a pond in essex has been confirmed as london student richard 0korogheye. the 19—year—old, who had sickle cell disease, had not been seen by his family

since he left their home in ladbroke grove on the 22nd of march. police said his death was being treated as unexplained, and that they don't believe anyone else is involved. 0xfam has been blocked — for a second time — from receiving uk aid funding, amid allegations of misconduct by two members of its staff in the democratic republic of congo. the charity had only been allowed to start reapplying for uk cash last month — after a three—year ban following a cover up of sexual exploitation by staff in haiti in 2018. myanmar�*s uk ambassador says he has been locked out of his embassy in london because of his opposition to the military coup. kyaw zwar minn said he was stopped from entering the building in mayfair by two of his colleagues. mark lobel reports. locked out of the embassy he headed, kyaw zwar minn claims there has been a mini coup

on the streets of london. they occupied my building. you know, i'm the ambassador of myanmar. and have you asked the foreign secretary, dominic raab, about this situation? yeah, we are waiting for their inspection. ambassador here since 2014, kyaw zwar minn won praise from britain's foreign secretary by calling for the release of myanmar�*s democratically elected leader, aung san suu kyi, who appointed him, and for restraint. a more moderate call to arms than myanmar�*s former ambassador to the un's plea for the army to be removed from power, but also one falling on deaf ears. this ostensibly his punishment for speaking out and perhaps a warning to others around the world. police were called following protests outside the embassy after reports its military attache had locked the ambassador and staff out of the building.

it's the latest act by myanmar�*s ruthless military since their february 1st coup, sparking protests across the country. asa as a stand—off in london continued, the ambassador stayed in his car, waiting to be let back in. having refused an earlier summons back to his country from the military after his country from the military after his earlier criticisms of them. me and my�*s hasn't commented. there has been contact to help receive no the situation. another sign of how the february military coup is reverberating around the world. if you can't contain your excitement about all the shops re—opening, you're not alone. take a look at this. it's a giant monitor lizard — around six feet long — which was filmed ransacking

there is an enormous appetite — we're predicted to spend a whopping four billion pounds in the first week alone. so what could the impact be on online businesses like asos? the realism of this is when retail starts to reopen in its traditional form, the bricks—and—mortar form, are they going to be able to hold on to such a strong position with the likes of primark beating away at them day in, day out with good prices and a shopping experience? for some, they will keep their consumers — absolutely — ongoing. but for others, that shopping experience and social element is just too important for them to miss out on. and when a shopper's spend's gone, it's gone — it's going to be spent somewhere. so a boost to the high street — but for how long? the main websites boohoo and asos have placed different bets. asos have bought topshop, topman and miss selfridge — brands aimed at younger shoppers. their rival boohoo has bought debenhams and coast. they reckon older consumers have moved online and aren't going back. who's right?

0nline fashion has some reputational issues around sustainability and cheap labour. also is there an online tax coming? later on i'll be speaking to the boss about all those issues and more. it will be no surprise if we here at 7am that they have had a bumpy year because the shots have been close but there is a wider question about what happens next and also questions around sustainability and ethics. lots of people are more concerned now about the provenance of where their clothes come from, how they are many factors stuck in a fashion waste is one of the biggest polluters on the planet so people are a lot more mindful— polluters on the planet so people are a lot more mindful when they make those _ are a lot more mindful when they make those purchases. _ are a lot more mindful when they make those purchases. always i make those purchases. always recycling- _ make those purchases. always recycling. thank _ make those purchases. always recycling. thank you. - let's take a look at some of today's front pages. many of them focus on the vaccine news. the daily mail urges us to "keep calm and carry onjabbing" — saying that's the message

from the prime minister and medical experts in the uk and europe. the sun uses an image of a syringe to show the tiny risk of fatal blood clotting associated with the astrazeneca vaccine. the metro says britain is "getting back on the tracks at last" — with 18,000 train services a day from monday. we'll bring you more on that story at around 6.50. and one of the terms trending on twitter overnight was "good friday agreement" — as belfast endured another night of violence. we will have reports on that through the morning this morning. had a new discove . the morning this morning. had a new discovery- have _ the morning this morning. had a new discovery. have you _ the morning this morning. had a new discovery. have you heard _ the morning this morning. had a new discovery. have you heard of - the morning this morning. had a new| discovery. have you heard of anyone? —— have you heard of the muon? what -- have you heard of the muon? what i the ? -- have you heard of the muon? what i they? their — -- have you heard of the muon? what i they? their particles _ -- have you heard of the muon? what i they? their particles smaller - -- have you heard of the muon? what i they? their particles smaller than i i they? their particles smaller than atoms. apparently _ i they? their particles smaller than atoms. apparently they _ i they? their particles smaller than atoms. apparently they exist. - i they? their particles smaller than atoms. apparently they exist. they are among the fundamental building blocks of matter. this are among the fundamental building blocks of matter.— blocks of matter. this is ringing a bell, the blocks of matter. this is ringing a hell. the new— blocks of matter. this is ringing a bell, the new energy _

with the cancer. sheila lowe was 7a when she died last year from bowel cancer. after deciding to be looked after at home, her daughter susan became her main carer — but the country went into lockdown weeks later. we had a lot of difficulties getting hold of medicine. it would be sent electronically over to the local pharmacy. the pharmacy didn't have stocks. it was so frustrating. i think a couple of times i burst into tears in the.... ..in the actual pharmacy. in a new survey of 1,000 unpaid carers, commissioned by marie curie, nearly two thirds of respondents said they didn't get all the support they needed to manage the pain of their loved one. 65% said they needed more respite care, and just over three quarters said they took on more emotional burdens. terri was diagnosed with terminal cancer three days before christmas, and she said two things when we got

back to the hospital car park. the first one was, "i don't want to go because i don't want to leave you." and the second was, "i want to die at home." it was a given that i would do everything i could to allow terri to die at home. when i needed respite, they struggled to get me somebody. i was lucky they got me somebody — i had a night sitter one night. and on the second night when the sitter arrived, i had to tell her that terri had died. many people, when given the option, would choose to spend their final weeks at home. but these problems were seen in professional settings, too. at the start of the pandemic, hospices were not classed as a front—line nhs service, and they experienced shortages of ppe, medicines and staff. i had a patient only last week

where his family had to drive around seven different pharmacies to try and find the medicine that he'd been prescribed for end of life. that family should have been spending those precious moments with their loved one. the department of health says it has funded support for unpaid carers throughout the pandemic, and that they continue to perform an incredibly important role. my biggest regret is that my mum died in pain — or more pain she needed to be in. karen morrison, bbc news. as always, often when we see these pieces, our thoughts go to those people who are prepared to be so open about the traumas they have been through. susan in that case stuck been through. susan in that case stuc< . ~ been through. susan in that case stuc ., ~' ., been through. susan in that case stuc ., ~ ., ., been through. susan in that case stuc ., ,, ., ., ., ,, stuck talking about him on, thank ou so stuck talking about him on, thank you so much- _ stuck talking about him on, thank you so much. we _ stuck talking about him on, thank you so much. we should - stuck talking about him on, thank you so much. we should flag - stuck talking about him on, thank you so much. we should flag up i stuck talking about him on, thank| you so much. we should flag up to ou,

gain more qualifications or switch to a differentjob. the most popular change listed was the desire to work from home. an 11 year—old from east london is raising money to help young people catch up on education they've missed during the pandemic. dj zel has been performing with her classmates and is hosting a special community event. her school is in newham — the borough with the highest covid—19 death rate anywhere in the country. that song is a song to give somebody, someone who listens to that song, courage, and to know that they should never give up. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service3 on the tubes apart from a part closure on tfl rail between liverpool street and stratford.

bus strikes continue today affecting london united services across west and south—west london. in whitton — one lane is closed for gas works into town on great chertsey road approaching the hospital bridge roundabout. in sudbury, harrow road is closed in both directions near sudbury croft — that's because of a police investigation. finally in farringdon: the temporary traffic lights have packed up on clerkenwell road which may cause so issues. now the weather with kate kinsella good morning. another chilly start but temperature is not as cold as yesterday morning. they are all above zero. we have quite a bit of cloud with intermittent bright spells and glimpses of sunshine and a weak warm front could produce one or two spots of light rain. a bit breezy at this afternoon but it is south—westerly so temperature is less cold and 11 celsius maximum today, so not as chilly as

yesterday. 0vernight tonight it will remain largely dry and the risk of one or two spots of rain but quite a bit of cloud around as well and one or two clear spells and a minimum temperature between four and six celsius, so mid single figures and above zero. for tomorrow, a cold front will sink south in the outbreaks of rain but it will introduce cold air by the weekend and that colder air overnight saturday into sunday runs into rain coming up from the south and that in turn could turn a bit wintry, so temperature is still a little better today and tomorrow but then dropping dramatically again and called for the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt.

how are you feeling on the wake of the news yesterday?— the news yesterday? i think initially quite _ the news yesterday? i think initially quite confused - the news yesterday? i think initially quite confused and | the news yesterday? i think- initially quite confused and that is because we are dealing with quite complex risk calculations here, so as a doctor, as a medical professional, we are used to dealing with certain types of statistics to do with absolute risk, relative risk, the reduction of risk, one in however many, and i think the challenge was trying to get our heads around the small numbers involved to explain it in a way other people could understand. and other people could understand. and that is the trick. for those on the front line of the front line, in your surgery, front line of the front line, in yoursurgery, having front line of the front line, in your surgery, having to deal with lots of phone calls and reassuring people and explaining, how have you drilled it down to something that is understandable but in some ways efficient because there will be so many enquiries? i efficient because there will be so many enquiries?— efficient because there will be so many enquiries? i tried a couple of exolanations _ many enquiries? i tried a couple of explanations on _ many enquiries? i tried a couple of explanations on my _ many enquiries? i tried a couple of explanations on my non-medical. explanations on my non—medical husband yesterday which fell flat, so we eventually came down to

looking at other things that can happen at the same level, so it's important to bear in mind that when we talk about this condition, this blood clotting you can get, this problem in the brain, that you are talking about an event that is like a needle in a haystack. it's a rare thing to happen anyway, so instead of having one needle in haystack you two needles in a haystack because we think that giving the oxford astrazeneca vaccine to the under 30s can increase that very, very small risk to just a very small risk. the risk to just a very small risk. the risk is about the same as the risk of you being hit by an aeroplane in your own home, that is about the risk, one in 250,000 approximately of developing this clot as a result of developing this clot as a result of the astrazeneca vaccine. the thin is, of the astrazeneca vaccine. the thing is, common _ of the astrazeneca vaccine. the thing is, common sense and human desire to survive means why take extra risks? that is what people

could be thinking so they might be calling up and saying i have my vaccination booked him and i don't want astrazeneca, i want the alternative. what can you say to them? what can be offered? what is them? what can be offered? what is the alternative for them? the them? what can be offered? what is the alternative for them?— the alternative for them? the advice is that we can _ the alternative for them? the advice is that we can offer _ the alternative for them? the advice is that we can offer an _ the alternative for them? the advice is that we can offer an alternative i is that we can offer an alternative which is not something we've been able to do at any point so far so the first thing will probably be ensuring that the person understands the risks that we talked about and we would still encourage people to have vaccination against coronavirus because it's notjust about the infection itself, its about developing the long—term consequences of long covid and also protecting the more vulnerable in the population who cannot have vaccination but because of the way the vaccine supply works, if you don't want to have the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, the chances are it might take slightly longer to get an alternative for you and that is because the flow of vaccinations is quite unpredictable at the moment so

it will probably be the pfizer vaccine at the minute and it would depend on where we get supplies through in enough quantities. i suppose when it comes to the second jab, would you be having similar questions, because there could be people saying they want an alternative, but by that point, if it is 12 weeks as the gap tends to be, any symptoms you may have had, you wouldn't have had, and the risk in terms of the second jab, what is that? i in terms of the second 'ab, what is that? 4' ., �* ~ ., , that? i think we don't know is the short answer. _ that? i think we don't know is the short answer. like _ that? i think we don't know is the short answer. like with _ that? i think we don't know is the short answer. like with most - short answer. like with most vaccinations, if you're going to have problems, the majority of them tend to occur after the first one and that's because you are getting the initial immune response so we've already seen from the figures about reliability of the vaccinations that most of benefit comes from the first injection. whether or not the second injection. whether or not the second injection increases this rare thing happening more or keeps it the same, i don't think we know at the moment,

but certainly there isn't a proven link in having a different dose of second vaccine, that's not been approved at the moment. just for clarification. _ approved at the moment. just for clarification, you _ approved at the moment. just for clarification, you can _ approved at the moment. just for clarification, you can ask- approved at the moment. just for clarification, you can ask for- approved at the moment. just for clarification, you can ask for an i clarification, you can ask for an alternative to the astrazeneca jab? is there an age group? igrate alternative to the astrazeneca “ab? is there an age group?* alternative to the astrazeneca “ab? is there an age group? we are being advised it is — is there an age group? we are being advised it is under— is there an age group? we are being advised it is under 30 _ is there an age group? we are being advised it is under 30 because - is there an age group? we are being advised it is under 30 because when | advised it is under 30 because when you look at the risk and benefit balance, those under 30 have a lower risk of dying or becoming unwell from covid and it becomes much closer to the balance between possible adverse effects or bad effects from the astrazeneca vaccine, so it's effects from the astrazeneca vaccine, so its people under the age of 30 with no other health conditions.— age of 30 with no other health conditions. , ., ., ., conditions. there will be a lot of women who _ conditions. there will be a lot of women who have _ conditions. there will be a lot of women who have seen - conditions. there will be a lot of women who have seen these - conditions. there will be a lot of. women who have seen these data conditions. there will be a lot of- women who have seen these data of child—bearing age who are taking contraceptive pills or injection, some form of contraception, chemical contraception, so when you are taking the pill or on these kinds of

treatments, you are warned of the risk of blood clots and it is something that is well known. should they be more concerned about taking they be more concerned about taking the vaccine or even if they have previously taken the pill or had the injection? the previously taken the pill or had the in'ection? , ~ previously taken the pill or had the in'ection? n' ., previously taken the pill or had the in'ection? ,~' ., , ., ., previously taken the pill or had the in'ection? ., , . ., , injection? the risk of blood clots with contraception _ injection? the risk of blood clots with contraception is _ injection? the risk of blood clots with contraception is linked - injection? the risk of blood clots with contraception is linked to i with contraception is linked to combined hormonal contraception something that has two hormones in something that has two hormones in so you are talking about the combined pill, patch, contraceptive patch and the ring inserted internally and that risk is caused ljy internally and that risk is caused by a different mechanism than clots from the astrazeneca vaccine, so while it says on the headline that they both cause clots, they cause it in a different way, so at the moment there isn't a cumulative risk where if you are on the pill and you have the reaction to the vaccine that you will get a higher risk of clots, they are two distinct and separate things.

some sports deliver us wonderful action, but also scenery. absolutely. the beauty of augustus and if you're thinking that the masters has come round again quickly, you're right, it was only backin quickly, you're right, it was only back in november and its back on its normal slot. it's one of golf�*s biggest occasions — and augusta national is in perfect shape, to host the masters, which begins today, back at its normal time of the year. there were no fans there when dustinjohnson won his first green jacket last november, but there'll be around 12,000 a day this time, for what's expected to be a far more challenging test, for the players. patrick gearey reports. augusta. beautiful, but savage. 0h! augusta. beautiful, but savage. oh! no lace to augusta. beautiful, but savage. ii no place to wander off augusta. beautiful, but savage. ©“ii no place to wander off course. augusta. beautiful, but savage.

league quarter—final. there was a first champions league goalfor mason mount who showed his quality as chelsea bounced back from their, shock, 5—2 defeat to west brom and his england teamate ben chilwell made it 2—0 with some silky skills there. the match was played in seville due to covid travel restrictions — and they'll meet there again, next week. it was a goal—fest in the night's other champions league quarter—final, between last year's finallists. paris saint—germain beat the holders bayern munich 3—2 — killian mbappe's second goal of the night was the winner. there's great news for football fans in scotland, with the government there giving approval for 12—thousand supporters, to attend the four european championship matches at hampden park injune — that's a quarter of the grounds capacity. uefa have made it clear, they don't want matches to be played behind closed doors — and that puts dublin's participation in doubt, with the fai unable to give assurances over minimum numbers. bilbao could also lose hosting rights. snooker is going one step further. the final of the world championship is set to be played in front

of a full house, on the 3rd of may. it's part of the government's pilot scheme to get fans back to sporting venues safetly, and without social distancing. former winner shaun murphy says the supporters have been sorely missed. in snooker, we're all showmen and women and, you know, without that crowd there to perform to... you know, it's difficult — you imagine a west end singer walking onto a stage to nobody. it's very, very difficult. of course, the musical doesn't change, and the sport hasn't changed. and congratulations to emily muskett, who has become the first british weightlifter to claim european gold in 26 yea rs. she won the 71—kilogram title in moscow. muskett is the reigning commonwealth champion and this victory has boosted her chances of of securing a place in the teamgb squad at this summer's olympic games in tokyo. in old money that is over 11 stone.

civil day —— one in five. so the idea is to get as many people involved in clearing up local beauty spots. we have jack and molly behind us doing just that and we will talk to jack, and thanks forjoining us. what kind of stuff are you seeing thrown away this year that wasn't there last year? the thrown away this year that wasn't there last year?— thrown away this year that wasn't there last year? the biggest things we are seeing _ there last year? the biggest things we are seeing is _ there last year? the biggest things we are seeing is ppe, _ there last year? the biggest things we are seeing is ppe, single - there last year? the biggest things we are seeing is ppe, single use i we are seeing is ppe, single use masks. — we are seeing is ppe, single use masks, gloves and aprons are making their way— masks, gloves and aprons are making their way from cities and towns onto their way from cities and towns onto the beach— their way from cities and towns onto the beach and we see them washed up with every— the beach and we see them washed up with every tide coming in. so the beach and we see them washed up with every tide coming in.— with every tide coming in. so the idea is to get _ with every tide coming in. so the idea is to get as _ with every tide coming in. so the idea is to get as many _ with every tide coming in. so the idea is to get as many people i with every tide coming in. so the idea is to get as many people as| idea is to get as many people as possible involved and going out there and tidying up. absolutely. we are aimin: there and tidying up. absolutely. we are aiming to — there and tidying up. absolutely. we are aiming to mobilise _ there and tidying up. absolutely. we are aiming to mobilise 100,000 - are aiming to mobilise 100,000 volunteers through the entirety of 2021 to _ volunteers through the entirety of 2021 to commit to cleaning ten miles of river, _ 2021 to commit to cleaning ten miles of river, beach, street, mountain, whatever— of river, beach, street, mountain, whatever the local area is on joining — whatever the local area is on joining us— whatever the local area is on joining us in one of the most ambitious _ joining us in one of the most ambitious and physical clean campaigns we've ever run. what are ou seeinu campaigns we've ever run. what are you seeing out _ campaigns we've ever run. what are you seeing out there _ campaigns we've ever run. what are you seeing out there when - campaigns we've ever run. what are you seeing out there when people i campaigns we've ever run. what are | you seeing out there when people go out and start picking up already? this launches today but people have already shown interest. fine this launches today but people have already shown interest.— already shown interest. one of the reasons we — already shown interest. one of the reasons we decided _ already shown interest. one of the reasons we decided to _ already shown interest. one of the reasons we decided to launch - already shown interest. one of the | reasons we decided to launch today was because of the swell in momentum

sinking south and is introducing some rain, the heaviest of which will be across the north and west of the country and they will be the strongest winds and there is a weak weather from strongest winds and there is a weak weatherfrom moving strongest winds and there is a weak weather from moving from west to east producing rain and we have some showers in the south—west and some of them will travel towards the south—east through the course of the day. there is a lot of cloud around on the sunshine will be limited today. these black circles represent the strength of the wind gusts. behind this weather front, the cold front, it's going to turn colder as we go through the day, so only 6 degrees will be the top temperature in stornoway and the showers are likely to be wintry. as we go further south, we are looking at much milder conditions. the reason for the colder air is the wind changes back to a northerly and it follows this weather front south, weakening all the time, taking the cloud and increasingly patchy rain with it in doing so. behind it it will be a cold night and ahead of it, still relatively mild, so we are looking at five or six which will

still feel cold, but not as cold as it will do further north where we have frost and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. as we head through the course of friday, the whether prancing south with the cloud and increasingly patchy rain behind it there will be sunshine, clear skies and feeling cold with the showers wintry in nature and temperatures in aberdeen only 5 degrees but we are hanging on to the milder air in degrees but we are hanging on to the milderair in the degrees but we are hanging on to the milder air in the south one more day, looking at 11 degrees. you can see what happens is on friday we have the weather front sinking south and another one coming up from the south heading north and it looks like the tween could meet, so on saturday it looks like for the south—eastern quarter of the uk it will be cloudy, with some rain in this rain could get as far as east wales and the midlands or it might stay a bit further south—east. there is still a bit of uncertainty about the exact positioning of that but ahead of it, as it engages with the

colder air, we see wintry showers and with some of the heavier ones we can see it getting too lower levels and by now in the northerly air it will be told one across the board. the rain will pull away during the course of sunday, may be some wintry nurse overnight from it, but then it's going to be dry for most with sunshine around but also colder and colder as we head into the early part of next week, so lots going on with the weather and to date will be mildest for most of us but tomorrow the south hangs onto the milder air but it turns cold again, all change. nifty. does it feel like we are beginning to open up after lockdown? as the country begins to open back up after lockdown, the public transport system is gearing up for an influx of passengers. and while the industry is trying to reassure travellers that trains and buses will be safe, passenger groups are warning

that social distancing won't always be possible. here's our transport correspondent, caroline davies. empty arrival halls in birmingham, deserted carriages in manchester, and quiet top decks on london buses. this pandemic has meant many of us have spent months hardly using this network. but as the world begins to venture outside, public transport is once again getting ready to take us there. at this depot in hull, they began fogging their buses 14 months ago. they're planning extra services into the summer to help with social distancing, but there's still some uncertainty from potential passengers. i wouldn't like to use the bus. it can be so busy i wouldn't want to be that close to people, especially if it's so full, you have to sit next to a random person. as long as people wear their mask, i think you can get as many people on as you want. changes are happening around the country. by monday, there'll be 18,000 train services each weekday across britain — that's1,000 more since february. but how many passengers will take rail trips over the next few months is still guesswork.

we want people to travel with confidence, so we're making as much space available for people — whether that's extra daily services or longer trains. we're also making sure that those trains are spotlessly clean, but also we're giving better information so that people can find out which services are busier and so they can plan theirjourneys better. those out on the trains today were already thinking about the next few months. there'll probably be more people that will start taking public transport again as we get later into the summer. how do you feel about having... yeah, i was thinking about it today, just going through it. it depends how compressed it is — how close you are with with people. at the moment it's not very busy, so it feels fine. i'm not looking forward to that, i but i don't have to travel too much, so it's not too bad. while commuter services are likely to be busier, there's also transport to sports events, music festivals — even just trips to the beach that are likely to fill up. while the industry has always said that it will do what it can, it's down to the police to enforce the rules.

while most services have been quiet during lockdown, there have been images like this taken on the london underground in january. maintaining social distance and wearing a mask will be crucial to getting people back on board confidently. there's obviously going to be situations where passenger numbers are going to build up... making passengers feel safe is part of the battle. three things are going to govern their experience. the ability to social distance from others, the visible cleanliness of bus and train services, and the actions of others — are people wearing their face coverings, and is there active, visible enforcement of that? and i think government has just got to be honest — as have the transport operators — it's not always going to be possible to social distance, and so people are going to have to manage themselves to a degree. even after monday, passengers are encouraged to minimise their travel. the government said they're working with the industry to ensure that everyone has the information they need to travel safely. returning to public transport may well feel strange and unsettling after months of keeping apart — the industry know that they need

to rebuild that confidence to get passengers on board. caroline davies, bbc news. it will be strange for some people getting back on public transport. that is one of the realities. it will happen and people will get used to it but initially it will be strange. there will be a lot of trepidation. several breeds of native farm animals across the uk are at risk of extinction, according to a new "watch list" published by conservationists. fi lamden's on a farm in salisbury for us this morning — and she's got some friends with her. you are gradually introducing us to one or two of your friends. who is this? , , a, , one or two of your friends. who is this? , , , ,, one or two of your friends. who is this? ,,._ ,, , one or two of your friends. who is this? ,, ,, ,, one or two of your friends. who is this? ,,i, ,, ,,, this? this is mary. she is six, she is a norfolk _ this? this is mary. she is six, she is a norfolk horn _ this? this is mary. she is six, she is a norfolk horn and _ this? this is mary. she is six, she is a norfolk horn and after- this? this is mary. she is six, she is a norfolk horn and after the i is a norfolk horn and after the first world war there were thousands of ones like mary but now they are down to the hundreds and there are many other rare breeds here and let's find out about a few of them.

now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning, it's another chilly start this morning but temperatures are not as cold as yesterday morning — they're all above zero. now we have got quite a bit of cloud, intermittent bright spells today — glimpses of sunshine. a weak warm front could produce one or two spots of light rain. bit breezier this afternoon but that breeze is a south—westerly, so temperatures less cold — 11 celsius the maximum today, so not quite as chilly as yesterday. now overnight tonight, it's going to remain largely dry. again the risk of one or two spots of rain, but quite a bit of cloud around, as well.

one or two clear spells. minimum temperature between four and six celsius — so mid single figures above zero. now for tomorrow, a cold front sinks south, some showery outbreaks of rain, but it's also going to introduce some colder air by the weekend, and that colder air overnight saturday into sunday runs into rain coming up from the south, and that in turn could turn a little bit wintry. so temperatures are still a little better today and tomorrow, but then dropping quite dramatically again, getting colder for the weekend. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. reassuring the public that the oxford astrazeneca vaccine is safe — government ministers urge people to come forward to get theirjabs, after a potential link

coming up. it's thursday the 8th of april. our top story. ministers are reassuring the public about the safety of the coronavirus vaccination programme — after the official advice changed to say that adults under 30 should be offered an alternative to the astrazeneca jab. the uk's medicine regulator, the mhra, said the evidence had been "firming up" that a link exists between rare blood clots and the vaccine. astrazeneca says it is working with officials to try to understand what is causing these "extremely rare events". our health correspondent naomi grimley has more. vaccine take—up in the uk has so far been extremely successful, with 95% of the over—60s accepting their offers of a jab. officials are determined that this latest change in what they call clinical preferences doesn't see that progress stall. there's still no proven link between the astrazeneca vaccine and very rare blood clots,

but the government accepts it should tweak its plans for younger age groups, where the risk—benefit calculation might be more finely balanced. yesterday, the deputy chief medical officer for england, jonathan van—tam, said the decision to offer the under—30s an alternative to the astrazeneca vaccine was a course correction, but not about stopping or delaying jabs. vaccines continue to be the way out for the uk. they continue to be the way in which we can get our lives back to normal, and our economy opened up again in the shortest time possible. so the message remains clear — everybody who has already had a first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine should receive a second dose of the same brand, except for the very small number who experience blood clots after their first vaccination.

those who advise the government on vaccines want us all to understand the subtleties of risk in medicine. even aspirin, for example, has an incredibly rare condition — which is fatal in children — occasionally associated with it. so these things... they're not unusual. the risk balance is something we have to communicate because it is a little... sometimes a little difficult to get that concept across accurately. questions remain, however, about what this modified advice will do for vaccine confidence in general, and whether there will now be more pressure on global supplies of the pfizer and moderna vaccines if more countries also decide to offer alternatives to lower age groups. naomi grimley, bbc news. let's get more from our political correspondent adam fleming. good morning. one of the overriding issuesis good morning. one of the overriding issues is the possible concern that the road map could have to change.

the road map out of lockdown, as a result of this. what are we hearing about that? the result of this. what are we hearing about that?— result of this. what are we hearing about that? ., ,._ about that? the government say the lan about that? the government say the [an for about that? the government say the plan for the — about that? the government say the plan for the road _ about that? the government say the plan for the road map, _ about that? the government say the plan for the road map, they - about that? the government say the plan for the road map, they are i plan for the road map, they are sticking to it. the next stage is next monday and then there will be another aid in the middle of may and one in the middle ofjune. they have always kept their options open to review that, but it doesn't look like this a slight change to the guidance on vaccines will have any impact on that. the other thing the government is adamantly sticking to it as their targets for the vaccination programme. they say they are still on course all the most vulnerable adults in the top nine priority groups to receive the offer first dose by next week and for all other adults in england to receive the offer of that first dose by the end ofjuly. that has not changed as a result of this and there is no hint of the government moving away from those targets. today is all going to be about reassuring people. that is why you are seeing newspaper

articles about the nature of risk, and going into real detail about how scientists calculate these things and why you will be speaking to matt hancock in a couple of minutes. any real—world implications of this change will only emerge in a few weeks because the main thing is about what vaccine is offered to under 30s. they are quite slow down in the queue so it can be a couple of weeks are a couple of months before we see any real changes to how the programme is working and how people are feeling about getting the jab. people are feeling about getting the 'ab. ., .. people are feeling about getting the 'ab. ., ~' , ., and we'll be joined by the health secretary matt hancock at 7.30 this morning. scientists tracking coronavirus in england say the vaccination programme is beginning to break the link between covid—19 cases and deaths. the latest react study by imperial college london, which involved analysing more than 140,000 people's swab tests between the 11th and 30th of march, found infections had fallen by roughly two—thirds since february. borisjohnson has said he's "deeply concerned" by scenes of violence in northern ireland —

after another night of trouble in parts of belfast. police came under attack, petrol bombs and rocks were thrown, and a bus was hijacked and set on fire. 41 officers have been injured as a result of violence over the last few days, as james reynolds reports. at night in belfast, petrol bombs were thrown back and forth over this peace wall. the peace line divides the loyalist shankill road from the republican springfield road area. confrontations continued for more than an hour. those making the most noise appear to be young. one in a grey tracksuit made sure to film the confrontation himself. earlier in the shankill road area, a bus was hijacked and set alight. some loyalists say they're fed up of being treated as second—class citizens. they're angry with official decisions they say favour sinn fein.

the government says burning buses is not the answer. my thoughts are with the bus driver who was caught up in this incident. he is understandably very shaken, but thankfully he wasn't hurt, and thankfully there were no passengers on this particular bus. but the people who are behind this are attacking their own communities. it is achieving nothing and it needs to stop. it needs to stop now before somebody is seriously hurt or killed. nearby, on the other side of the divide, there were confrontations with the police. i think this is deeply worrying. it comes off the back of a series of violent incidents across the city and across the north as a whole over the last week or so. i think it has to be condemned outright. we're encouraging all young people to stay at home and stay away from scenes like this — it's the last thing that this city needs at the minute. borisjohnson has tweeted...

the chief constable, simon byrne, says... the northern ireland executive will now meet to discuss these past six nights of disturbances, and the assembly is cutting short its easter break to do the same. james reynolds, bbc news. our ireland correspondent chris page joins us now from belfast. good morning to you. this is continuing, and that is causing

increasing concern.— continuing, and that is causing increasing concern. yes, that's ri . ht, increasing concern. yes, that's right. and _ increasing concern. yes, that's right. and i— increasing concern. yes, that's right, and i think _ increasing concern. yes, that's right, and i think what - increasing concern. yes, that's right, and i think what is i right, and i think what is particularly concerning many people about what happened last night is the fact that the trouble happens at a peace line, one of the walls here in belfast that separates communities on either side of the political divide. it is a long time since we saw violence at that intensity happening at a peace line. ministers in the devolved government here will be meeting this morning to get a briefing from the police about the violence of recent days. until last night it was all concentrated in loyalist areas. there have been a number of factors at play. for example over the last few months police have spoken about increasing unease amongst loyalist with a special brexit arrangement for northern ireland. they see it as creating an economic border between northern ireland and the rest of the uk, which undermines the british identity that they feel very strongly. also there has been a big

police crackdown over the last number of months on loyalist paramilitaries and organised crime. the drugs trade, for example, that they are responsible for it. as well as that, last week there was renewed anger and prosecutors decided not to take action against sinn fein politicians for alleged breaches of coronavirus restrictions at the funeral of a form at leading ira man last summer. it is quite complex picture. stormont is also being recalled from its easter break to a motion condemning the writing. you can expect different parties to have different analyses as to what is causing the trouble —— condemned the rioting. they will be united you would expect for condemning the destruction and for it to be stopped immediately. destruction and for it to be stopped immediately-— a body found in a pond in essex has been confirmed as london student richard 0korogheye. the 19—year—old, who had sickle cell disease, had not been seen by his family since he left their home in ladbroke grove on the 22nd of march. police said his death

was being treated as unexplained, and that they don't believe anyone else is involved. the foreign secretary dominic raab has accused myanmar�*s military regime of "bullying", after the country's uk ambassador was locked out of his embassy in london. kyaw zwar minn said he was stopped from entering the building in mayfair by two of his colleagues, and told he was no longer myanmar�*s representative. the time is 7:12am. thursday morning. let's find out what the weather will do over the next few days. i weather will do over the next few da s. ., ., weather will do over the next few da s. . ., , ., weather will do over the next few days— yes? - weather will do over the next few days— yes?- days. i have a question. yes? we were discussing _ days. i have a question. yes? we were discussing this _ days. i have a question. yes? we were discussing this money, i days. i have a question. yes? we i were discussing this money, money you have said there is lots of weather around, lots to talk about how it produce it said today that they can be no weather and i don't think... there you go! i don't think it's true, i think there is always whether. there is a phenomenon when there is no weather?—

from now on, people aged between 18 and 29 will be offered an alternative to the oxford—astrazeneca jab. but those who've already had a first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine should go ahead and get the second. pregnant women and people with certain blood disorders should consult their doctor for advice. let's speak to professor anthony harnden, deputy chairman of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. very good morning to you. thank you for your time. a lot of people trying to absorb the information that came out yesterday. if you could condense it down first of all in a sense for us, what do you think was the clearest and most important message to come out what was said yesterday in relation to the 0x astrazeneca jab? if yesterday in relation to the ox astrazeneca jab?— astrazeneca “ab? if there is a messa . e astrazeneca jab? if there is a message was _ astrazeneca jab? if there is a message was the _ astrazeneca jab? if there is a message was the benefits i astrazeneca jab? if there is a message was the benefits of| astrazeneca jab? if there is a i message was the benefits of this jab

far outweigh the risk for the majority of the population and indeed those who are having the offer of the vaccine today, with the exception of a very small minority of people, and that is those well under 30 who are either carers, household contacts of the immunosuppressed, or perhaps health and social care workers who have not received the austin astrazeneca vaccine yet, we want them to be offered an alternative —— look at the oxford—astrazeneca stop we will not get to the majority of under 30s for a number of weeks. the vaccination programme is full steam ahead, everybody should remain confident in it. what we are seeing is a very, very rare, extremely rare safety signal coming out the regulators. those regulators, i was, the mhra, and the ema, have said we can continue this vaccine in all age

groups, but we have taken his precautionary advice from the jcvi, having assessed the benefits and the risks of vaccination, and given that the risks of covid and severe illness are far, far greater in the older groups, which is why we started with them, when you look down to the very younger groups, the risks are not quite as high. and when you look, will we have had a number of cases of this rare but important event, we just felt for the moment we would feel more comfortable on jcvi the moment we would feel more comfortable onjcvi if the moment we would feel more comfortable on jcvi if that lower age group were offered an alternative vaccine. flan age group were offered an alternative vaccine. can you try to ex - lain to alternative vaccine. can you try to explain to peeple _ alternative vaccine. can you try to explain to people why _ alternative vaccine. can you try to explain to people why it _ alternative vaccine. can you try to explain to people why it is... i explain to people why it is... people are aware of the situation elsewhere in the world. let's talk about europe specifically. your counterparts in other parts of europe have come up with different conclusions in relation to the caution around astrazeneca and these potential links to very rare blood

clots. can you explain how it is that these differences align? riff that these differences align? of course the european medicines agency has said it is ok for all age groups. each individual company needs —— country needs to make individual decisions based on their local epidemiology. but i will say european countries have a history of this, in that for many weeks they were not advising the use of the oxford—astrazeneca in the over 65, as you are well aware. when we felt it was safe and effective in the over 65. that decision has probably saved thousands and thousands of lives in this country. so we have to make our own decisions, our independent decisions, independent of government, independent of the mhra, based on what we are seeing in front of us. this is not unusual of the jcvi. front of us. this is not unusual of thejcvi. for example, influenza vaccines, which we are all familiar with, there are many different types and we advise certain types of

vaccine for the early 65s and other types for the under 65s even though they can be using all age groups. what we are doing onjcvi is we are looking at it in the round. we are assessing benefits and risks and we have made a decision that goes well under 30s, we would prefer, at the numbes, as a precautionary approach, for them to have the offer of an alternative vaccine.— alternative vaccine. could you ex - lain alternative vaccine. could you explain a _ alternative vaccine. could you explain a little _ alternative vaccine. could you explain a little more, - alternative vaccine. could you explain a little more, you i alternative vaccine. could you i explain a little more, you mentioned before, and it is one of those phrases, ladylike way to close with it. the risk and benefit. balance between risk and benefit as it is approached in this under 30 age group. approached in this under 30 age urou -. w' ~ approached in this under 30 age a rou . _ , ~' . ., group. the risk... we are getting this virus under _ group. the risk... we are getting this virus under control _ group. the risk... we are getting this virus under control through l this virus under control through vaccination and through our social restrictive measures. we are releasing a slightly at each lockdown, at each stage there will be a lot more. we know infection

rates will go up. if you look at our average infection rate, you would have to vaccinate about 116,000 of those under 30s to prevent one death. now, given we don't understand the incidence of this side—effect, and given that it possibly is more common in age groups, we felt that the figures may land somewhere in that sort of region and therefore the risk and benefit of the vaccine just became more equivalent, and therefore we thought it would be much more important to be cautious. these are extremely rare events, much, much more rare than, for instance, a blood clot due to common drugs we prescribe such as a contraceptive pill. much rarer than blood clots during pregnancy. much, much rarer than blood clots during covid itself. so if you are at risk of catching covid and you will be at

risk of catching it more if we get infection rates rising, in this country, then the risk—benefit equation is a do change, but at the moment while we are getting the virus under control, the risk of this extremely rare side effect and the benefits of vaccines specifically to those well under 30, not those with underlying illnesses, while under 30s, is such that we think they should be offered an alternative vaccine. lode think they should be offered an alternative vaccine.— think they should be offered an alternative vaccine. we are talking about oxford-astrazeneca - alternative vaccine. we are talking about oxford-astrazeneca in i alternative vaccine. we are talking about oxford-astrazeneca in this | about oxford—astrazeneca in this case, and i think it is a 20 million vaccinations which have taken place in the uk using that. the other alternatives, which will be offered to those under 30, do we know yet enough about possible side effects in relation to those? obviously data is being received all the time that is being received all the time that is partly dependent on how many people are given the vaccinations. well, of course, there is no vaccine

without side effects, no medicine without side effects, no medicine without side effects, no medicine without side effects. the pfizer which we are giving in large quantities at the moment, we know that between one and two people per 100,000 have a severe allergic reaction to it. we have got quite a lot of data on pfizer at the moment, which reassures us there is no major safety signal coming from pfizer but we are examining it very carefully. of course you are absolutely right, we don't yet know about the other vaccines because what we know is from clinical trials, and we know that the clinical trials are important because they include tens of thousands of people, so there is a common side effect, important side effect, becoming apparent in any trial, but that's not to say it would pick up a very rare side effect when you immunise millions and millions and millions of. we note the track record of the astrazeneca vaccine. for the vast majority of people it gives my side—effects for a couple of days and then they get better. we still

feel this is a safe and effective vaccine when the benefits far outweigh the risks to the majority of people and actually come in many ways, it is better to know known that the unknown. i would encourage anybody who has been offered either their first dose of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, and certainly the second, where there have been no reports of the side—effects, to take them when. i thank you for your time, professor anthony harnden from the jcvi. thank you for your time, professor anthony harnden from thejcvi. in ten minutes we will speak to them health secretary matt hancock. today, welsh labour launches its manifesto ahead of elections to the senedd — the welsh parliament — in may. among the proposals is a catch—up programme aimed at improving the nhs and schools after the pandemic. joining us now from north wales is the welsh labour leader and first minister, mark drakeford. hejoins us from he joins us from north wales. good morning. he joins us from north wales. good morninu. he joins us from north wales. good

now overnight tonight, it's going to remain largely dry. again the risk of one or two spots of rain, but quite a bit of cloud around, as well. one or two clear spells. minimum temperature between four and six celsius — so mid single figures above zero. now for tomorrow, a cold front sinks south, some showery outbreaks of rain, but it's also going to introduce some colder air by the weekend, and that colder air overnight saturday into sunday runs into rain coming up from the south, and that in turn could turn a little bit wintry. so temperatures are still a little better today and tomorrow, but then dropping quite dramatically again, getting colder for the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address, bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. ministers are reassuring

the public about the safety of the coronavirus vaccination programme after the official advice changed to say that adults under 30 should be offered an alternative to the astrazeneca jab. the uk's medicine regulator, the mhra, said the evidence had been "firming up" that a link exists between rare blood clots and the vaccine. astrazeneca says it is working with officials to try to understand what is causing these "extremely rare events". the vaccination programme is beginning to break the link between covid—19 cases and deaths. the latest swab tests found infections had fallen roughly by two thirds since february. please to say we are joined by the -- matt —— matt hancock. let's talk about

some of the information that came out yesterday and jonathan van tam described it as a change of course and we should not be surprised that this happens. can you give us a clear explanation of why it was deemed necessary to have a change of course in relation to the under 30s and the oxford astrazeneca jab? this and the oxford astrazeneca “ab? this is the and the oxford astrazeneca jab? ti 3 is the biggest national programme we have had since the war and it's incredibly important to the whole country because the vaccination effort is breaking that link from cases to deaths, therefore it is the route back to normal and i have been determined throughout this that we should roll out the vaccine the safest way possible and what we have seenin safest way possible and what we have seen in the last 2a hours is not only the roll—out working, which we know and have talked about many times, and the vaccine is working

and saving thousands of lives, but the safety system is also working, because the regulators were able to spot this extremely rare event, around four in a million, and we have been able to say that for under 30s have been able to say that for under 305 it have been able to say that for under 30s it is still safe to have the astrazeneca jab, but if you want you can have the pfizer or madonna —— modern jab instead. we are still on track to offer the vaccine to all adults by the end ofjuly, but it does mean that we are taking this in the safest way possible to save as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible. that is the goal and i'm very grateful to these world class regulators who can spot this extremely rare events. i class regulators who can spot this extremely rare events.— class regulators who can spot this extremely rare events. i wonder if ou can extremely rare events. i wonder if you can take _ extremely rare events. i wonder if you can take us— extremely rare events. i wonder if you can take us through _ extremely rare events. i wonder if you can take us through some i extremely rare events. i wonder if you can take us through some of. extremely rare events. i wonder if i you can take us through some of the practicalities. you said those under

30 will be offered the opportunity to have an alternative vaccine. how will it work in practice? i know we are not there yet because they are not yet called up to have the vaccine, but will they have to notify the system in advance to say what they want, and how certain can you be that you will have enough of the correct vaccine at that time? that it won't delay them getting a vaccine? $5 that it won't delay them getting a vaccine? �* , , ., that it won't delay them getting a vaccine? �* , ,, .., that it won't delay them getting a vaccine? ~ , , ., .. ., �* vaccine? as you can imagine, i've looked into _ vaccine? as you can imagine, i've looked into the _ vaccine? as you can imagine, i've looked into the question - vaccine? as you can imagine, i've looked into the question and i vaccine? as you can imagine, i've looked into the question and the l looked into the question and the answer is that we have more than enough of the pfizer and moderna vaccine to be able to offer all those who are under 30 one of those two vaccines. the maths is that there are 10.1 million people aged between 18 and 29 in this country, in the uk, and 1.6 million of them have already been vaccinated because either they are care workers or they

evidence of this effect after second doses, therefore unless you have had this type of reaction from the first dosein this type of reaction from the first dose in which case it's important to talk to a doctor, but it is extremely rare, and you should still just go forward and have your second dose, so that vaccination programme continues at pace and i am really glad that the uptake of second doses has been extremely high, 99.4% of people, which is almost unheard of. 99.4% have been coming forward to get their second dose and that is really important, because the second dose gives you that extra protection and there is another important thing to say about this which is that all of these considerations, we've been totally transparent with the data, but the data shows you the benefit

and the risk to individuals. of course, there is a benefit to all of us in getting the jab because it helps protect your loved ones on those around you because you are less likely to transmit coronavirus as well. this is one of the many reasons that the regulator has concluded that the jobs are safe, they are effective and they are working to help us get out of the pandemic. flan working to help us get out of the andemic. ., , ., working to help us get out of the andemic. . , ., ,. ., ., ., pandemic. can i put a scenario to ou and pandemic. can i put a scenario to you and it's _ pandemic. can i put a scenario to you and it's a _ pandemic. can i put a scenario to you and it's a long _ pandemic. can i put a scenario to you and it's a long time i pandemic. can i put a scenario to you and it's a long time since ii pandemic. can i put a scenario to i you and it's a long time since i was in my 30s, but if two people in their 30s having a conversation now about this and one person might say, i don't feel, sorry in their 20s, that age group we are talking about, the sub—30 age group, one person might say, i don't feel at risk of coronavirus because i don't think i'm going to die and then they might look at what happened yesterday and those figures and statistics and say, but i do see the risk of developing a blood clot. and that

might be a conversation that is going on in people's heads. i know the government is keen to address that head on, so what do you say in relation to that scenario? the that head on, so what do you say in relation to that scenario?— relation to that scenario? the first thin to relation to that scenario? the first thing to say _ relation to that scenario? the first thing to say is _ relation to that scenario? the first thing to say is that _ relation to that scenario? the first thing to say is that the _ relation to that scenario? the first thing to say is that the vaccine i relation to that scenario? the first thing to say is that the vaccine is l thing to say is that the vaccine is safe, and if you want to have the pfizer vaccine or moderna vaccine instead, that is fine. the second thing to say is that covid is a horrible disease and long covid affects people in their 20s just as much, it seems, as any other age group and can have debilitating side effects that essentially ruin your life. we have seen some of the stories of the impact on people unable to get their breath many, many months afterwards, and the mental health impacts of having covid are increasingly clear as well. so the vaccine is there to protect you, because although, of course, any drug has side effects

and we are totally transparent about those side effects and publish all the data we have on them. getting covid has a very bad effects and the regulators, notjust a british regulator, the european regulator and the world health organization are clear that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks. and you mention the european regulator, and in the individual countries, because there is a difference between those things, but people will be aware that individual countries in europe are drawing different conclusions in relation to caution around oxford astrazeneca. and say that picking different age groups, for example older age groups, for example older age groups, around which they are advising some degree of caution. how do you explain that difference? we have do you explain that difference? , have seen european country say older people should not take it and then younger people shouldn't take it, and i think it's important to listen

to the european regulator, the european medicines agency, as well as the world health organization and of course the uk regulator, which is first rate, the mhra, because they all say having looked at all of the data which is published that the vaccines are safe and effective, and in fact, i was listening to the british medical association, which is entirely independent of government and sometimes we disagree of things, but they are absolutely clear because they have looked at the evidence we have published as well. so the important thing for people to take into account is that the safety system we have around this vaccine is so sensitive that it can pick up events that are for in a million. i am told this is the equivalent risk of taking a long haulflight, and then

equivalent risk of taking a long haul flight, and then spot that, and we are totally open and transparent about that because we want people to have confidence and i think people can be reassured and people can take confidence from the fact that we have published all of this information and we have the world—class regulators, independently of government, assessing the risks and setting out what is the safest way forward for us all to be able to get out of the restrictions of this pandemic and get our lives back to normal. you are saying _ get our lives back to normal. you are saying about _ get our lives back to normal. you are saying about making everything transparent and i know your colleague iain duncan smith has taken an alternative view about laying the information out there, saying that he thinks putting so much information that in many circumstances the scientists have been clear about the discussions go on all the time about all sorts of vaccine programmes, the risk and benefit analysis, but they are not

necessarily played out publicly and the suggestion from iain duncan smith, amongst others, is you are playing into the hands of anti—vaccine people by putting out as a topic of discussion and it's a tricky balance and i make —— take the point that you made about being transparent but you must be aware of the risk of that. we transparent but you must be aware of the risk of that.— the risk of that. we are always transparent — the risk of that. we are always transparent in _ the risk of that. we are always transparent in these i the risk of that. we are always transparent in these things i the risk of that. we are always| transparent in these things but there's usually not that level of public interest and attention. so for instance, last year, we made a change to the way we do the flu vaccine and recommended a different flu vaccine for the under 50s, which is absolutely normal, as with this vaccine, we publish the data regularly and i trust the british people to come to a sensible conclusion on this and the reason i am confident in that i'm one of the things i am so proud of in the vaccine roll—out is the uptake. amongst people aged 70 and above,

95% have had the vaccine and more than half of over 80—year—olds have had both doses. in all of the vulnerable age groups from 50 upwards and the clinically extremely vulnerable, more than nine in ten have already come forward to have vaccination. we have the highest level of enthusiasm for the vaccine of any other country measured across the world and ijust think of any other country measured across the world and i just think that of any other country measured across the world and ijust think that is wonderful, but one of the reasons i think for it is that we in government are not saying just do this because we say so, we are saying, listen to the scientists, look at the data yourselves if you like, it's all published on the web, and it is clear from the evidence that the benefits to you of having the jab outweigh the risks and, critically, have an impact on everybody else and you are doing this notjust everybody else and you are doing this not just for you everybody else and you are doing this notjust for you but everybody else and you are doing this not just for you but for your loved ones and for your country. and that message has really resonated over the last few months and has led

to this enormous programme. i was knocking on doors in birmingham with andy street yesterday who is campaigning to be re—elected as the mayor and the smile on peoples faces when we talk about the vaccine, because people have had the jab and they know it's the right thing to do, but critically, it makes you save as well. we do, but critically, it makes you save as well.— do, but critically, it makes you save as well. we are not talking about the local _ save as well. we are not talking about the local elections i save as well. we are not talking about the local elections in i save as well. we are not talking about the local elections in this| about the local elections in this interview now, i'm sure you appreciate that. one last thing, if i may, the roll—out dates in terms of both the road map but also to do with the vaccination roller, a lot of those people under the age of 30, they know the end date because it is in july, they know the end date because it is injuly, but have you got a timeline for the next slice of age groups? is it clearly defined and have there been any changes?— it clearly defined and have there been any changes? it clearly defined and have there been an chances? . �* , been any changes? there haven't been an chances been any changes? there haven't been any changes and _ been any changes? there haven't been any changes and the _ been any changes? there haven't been any changes and the developments i any changes and the developments over the last 2a hours do not change the speed of the roll—out. we are on track to deliver to all categories

between one and nine, the over 50s, the clinically extremely vulnerable and carers and health and social care workers to deliver all of that and offer a firstjab by the 15th of the month, the end of next week. we are on track for that and we are on track to deliver a jab to all adults by the end ofjuly. those are the two goals that we have set. the team are working very, very hard to reach them and we are on track for both and the speed of the roll—out is not affected by all of this, but what is affected by all of this, but what is affected is that this makes the roll—out even safer, and i hope people can take reassurance from that. ., ,, . ., , ., ,, that. health secretary, thank you very much- _ that. health secretary, thank you very much. carol— that. health secretary, thank you very much. carol has _ that. health secretary, thank you very much. carol has the i that. health secretary, thank you very much. carol has the weather fork us and as you said, there is lots of it going around. there certainly is. good morning,

everybody. today is fairly cloudy. sunshine will be around but in limited amounts and one thing you will notice is that it will be blustery and milder, mild for most to start today compared to yesterday exceptin to start today compared to yesterday except in some eastern areas where we have clear skies. the mild weather we will enjoy today is not going to last. you can see it represented by the yellows but later and into friday at the blue returns to the chart and you can see more arctic air coming our way, spreading south and by sunday all of the uk is draped in it. and we return to a more northerly wind. we have a fairly big bit of rain around at the moment preceded by snow on higher ground and we also have showers across england and wales, so a lot of cloud to start the day and the weather front producing some heavy and persistent rain across the north of scotland, accompanied by some very strong winds gusting up to gale force. for england and wales, we have showers and rain in the north and one or two brighter breaks, but

these black circles represent the strength of the gusts of wind, so a fairly blustery day across the board, but for most mild one with temperatures back into double figures and we've not seen that this week for most, but behind the weather front here, the cold front, the air turns colder, so we have a westerly wind ahead of the weather front and behind it we have a northerly wind returning, so the showers will turn wintry in the north. that cold wind will follow this weather front south through the course of the night and the weather front produces a narrow band of cloud and patchy rain, so in the south, temperatures will tend to hold up. but in the north, under clear skies with wintry showers it's going to be cold, and with the wintry showers and strong winds will be blizzards across the hills and mountains in the far north of scotland. tomorrow, you can see where we have the weak weather front continuing itsjourney where we have the weak weather front continuing its journey south, producing cloud and patchy rain and to the north of that, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine and

still wintry showers. some of those in heavier bursts will get down to lower levels. for degrees in norway, in stornoway, surrey, and lerwick with 2 degrees but as we coming to london and cardiff we are looking at 11 degrees so still clinging on to milder air. you see the weather front continue the journey south and then on saturday an area of low pressure with the front coming up from the south will also produce rain. the northern extent of this is still a bit uncertain. it's coming in from the south—east, heading in the direction of the midlands and wales but it might not reach here. it may stay further into the south—eastern corner. on the other side, though, there will be a lot of dry weather and it will be a cold day and there will be some wintry showers and snow, even some of the heavier bursts at lower levels and note the temperature, three in the north to about six in the south—east and nine in the south—west. overnight, saturday and sunday, we could see a wintry mix coming out of

that system in the south and that will pull away during the course on sunday and sunday and monday still remaining cold.— sunday and sunday and monday still remaining cold. carol thank you very much. remaining cold. carol thank you very much- lots — remaining cold. carol thank you very much- lots of _ remaining cold. carol thank you very much. lots of whether _ remaining cold. carol thank you very much. lots of whether going i remaining cold. carol thank you very much. lots of whether going on i remaining cold. carol thank you very l much. lots of whether going on there and lots of goal. look at you. i have got more sunshine than carol. the masters is as much about the blooming bushes as the terrific tee shots, we admire the sites on the fairways. absolutely. beautiful greens. we've been looking forward to it all week and the masters gets underway this afternoon, back in it's normal spring slot. augusta national is looking spectacular, and unlike last november, when the masters was held out of season, there will be a limited number of fans there to enjoy it — around 12—thousand a day.

of the champions league. their victory against porto was crafted by two of england's young stars — mason mount, getting his first champions league goal — and ben chilwell showed some fancy footwork this away match was played in seville due to covid travel restrictions — and they'll meet there again, for the home leg next week. there's a chance that dublin may not be able to host any matches at this summer's european championship. the fai has been unable to give uefa assurances over the number of fans they'll be able to let into the aviva stadium — and uefa don't want any games played behind closed doors. bilbao is in a similar position, with three more venues yet to finalise their plans. there's great news for fans in scotland, though, with the government there giving approval for 12—thousand supporters, to attend the four european championship matches at hampden park injune — that's a quarter of the grounds capacity.

the final of the world championship, is set to be played in front of a full house, on the 3rd of may. it's part of the government's pilot scheme, to get fans back to sporting venues safetly, and without social distancing. the players have been saying it's like the west end are getting the cast on the crowds back, talking about how much they are show men and how much difference it makes. i liked the azaleas at augusta. it is the 13th which is the famous one but there also the tea olives, pink dogwoods, and we look forward to it or later. . hs2 diggers have started clearing a corner of ancient woodland that helped inspire roald dahl�*s �*fantastic mr fox'. it's led to a standoff with protesters who oppose the expansion of the high—speed railway line. here's our environment correspondent, clare marshall. the ancient beech trees ofjones hillwood. they are said to have inspired the author roald dahl to write a story about a wily mr fox. but times have changed. it's in the

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. reassuring the public that the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine is safe — government ministers urge people to come forward to get theirjabs, after a potential link to extremely rare blood clots. the jabs are safe, they are effective and they are working to help us get out of this pandemic.

it comes as scientists say a new study shows the vaccination rollout in england is "breaking the link" between coronavirus infections and deaths. a bus is hijacked and set on fire in another night of trouble in northern ireland — prime minister boris johnson says he's deeply concerned by the violence i with a nine—week—old back ship piglets. let's find out why they are in decline and housekeeper going —— berkshire. todayis berkshire. today is klarna, bloor street was mild, also some rain in the focus, the heaviest across the north west. here we have the strongest winds. the weather won't last, and i will have the details in ten minutes. it's thursday the 8th of april. ministers are urging people to have full confidence in the covid vaccination programme — following a change in guidelines about the astrazeneca jab from the official regulator, the mhra. so let's remind ourselves

of what those changes are. from now on, people aged between 18 and 29 will be offered an alternative to the oxford—astrazeneca jab. but those who've already had a first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine should go ahead and get the second. pregnant people and people with certain blood disorders should consult their doctor for advice. earlier on breakfast, the deputy chairman of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, professor anthony harnden told us the timescale of the vaccination roll—out won't be affected. we're not immunising the majority of under—30—year—olds at the moment, and we will not get to them for a number of weeks. so the vaccination programme is going full steam ahead, everybody should remain confident in it. what we're seeing is a very, very rare — extremely rare — safety signal which is coming out of the regulators. let's get more from our chief political correspondent adam fleming.

good morning to you. making it really clear that the vaccination programme is not going to change, but what so many people are concerned about is the road map out of lockdown that the government has laid out and how, perhaps it vaccine changes, or even slightly tweaked, how that will affect the overall easing. how that will affect the overall easin: . ., how that will affect the overall easinu. ., . . how that will affect the overall easinu. ., ., ., ., how that will affect the overall easinu. ., . ., ., ., easing. you are right that one of the fact that _ easing. you are right that one of the fact that affect _ easing. you are right that one of the fact that affect the _ easing. you are right that one of the fact that affect the speed - easing. you are right that one of the fact that affect the speed of| the fact that affect the speed of the fact that affect the speed of the road map is how the vaccination programme is going, but this change is not a big enough change to affect that so as far as the government is concerned the road map is still on track. the next phase of the unlocking of the lockdown in england is due next monday, then another phase in the middle of may and another towards the end ofjune. the other thing that it is not affecting its targets for the vaccine programme overall. do you remember that first target for the top nine priority groups, the over 50s, the

clinically vulnerable, people working in health services, for them to be offered the firstjab by the end of next week and then for every aduu end of next week and then for every adult in england to be offered first dose by the end ofjuly? matt hancock, the health secretary, says that does not change even though now we know there are 8.5 million unvaccinated under 30s now may have a different choice of what vaccine to take. . , , a different choice of what vaccine to take. ., , , ., ., to take. the maths is that there are 10.1 to take. the maths is that there are 10-1 million — to take. the maths is that there are 10.1 million people _ to take. the maths is that there are 10.1 million people aged _ to take. the maths is that there are 10.1 million people aged between i to take. the maths is that there are | 10.1 million people aged between 18 and 29 _ 10.1 million people aged between 18 and 29 in _ 10.1 million people aged between 18 and 29 in this country, in the uk, and 29 in this country, in the uk, and 1ti— and 29 in this country, in the uk, and 1.6 million of them have already been vaccinated because either they are care _ been vaccinated because either they are care workers or they might be clinically— are care workers or they might be clinically extremely vulnerable. that leaves around 8.5 million people. — that leaves around 8.5 million people, and we have more than enough pfizer and _ people, and we have more than enough pfizer and moderna vaccine so that all of _ pfizer and moderna vaccine so that all of them — pfizer and moderna vaccine so that all of them get that jab, then we will be _ all of them get that jab, then we will be able to ensure everybody can

let's look at some of the problems in northern ireland. the boss has been hijacked and set on fire, and at the night trouble in northern ireland. or isjensen saying he is deeply concerned by some of the violent scenes. our ireland correspondent chris pagejoins us now from belfast. just talk us through what has been happening most recently and also some of the reaction.— happening most recently and also some of the reaction. yes, charlie, well, some of the reaction. yes, charlie, well. what — some of the reaction. yes, charlie, well. what is _ some of the reaction. yes, charlie, well, what is causing _ some of the reaction. yes, charlie, well, what is causing particular - well, what is causing particular concern about the violence last night that it happened at the peace line, so called. a wall that separates immunities on either side of the political divide in west belfast between the loyalist shankill road and the republican springfield road area. a bus was hijacked, as you say, five. the violence started on the loyalist side which then there was sustained trouble with petrol bombs and missiles being thrown to and fro

across that peace line. ministers in the devolved government will meet today to get everything from police on the trouble of recent days. prior to last night the violence was focused on loyalist areas and there have been a number of factors at play. loyalists have for some months been feeling very uneasy about some of the aspects of the brexit arrangements were northern ireland, in particular they see it as creating a new trade board between northern ireland and the rest of the uk, something they feel undermines their sense of british identity they feel very strongly. last night renewed anger that prosecutors didn't take action against senior sinn fein politicians for alleged breaches of coronavirus restrictions at the funeral of a form at leading ira man last summer. so there is a complex picture regarding motivations of those rioting. whenever politicians come together in the stormont assembly, recall from the to debate a motion condemning violence, we can expect them to have differing opinions as

to what is the root cause of this writing but we can also expect them to be united in calls for the destruction to stop —— the root cause of this rioting. a body found in a pond in essex has been confirmed as london student richard 0korogheye. the 19—year—old, who had sickle cell disease, had not been seen by his family since he left their home in ladbroke grove on the 22nd of march. police said his death was being treated as unexplained, and that they don't believe anyone else is involved. the foreign secretary dominic raab has accused myanmar�*s military regime of "bullying", after the country's uk ambassador was locked out of his embassy in london. kyaw zwar minn says he slept in his car last night after he was stopped from entering the building in mayfair — and told he was no longer myanmar�*s representative.

there's to be targetted testing in an area in south london after the south african variant of covid—i9 was found southwark council is sending letters to 2,000 homes in south bermondsey asking residents to take a test if they have symptoms — and consider being tested even if they are asymptomatic. more than 80 postcode areas are affected. almost three quarters of workers in london plan to make changes to their careers in the next year, because of the pandemic. research by the finance company — aviva — found a growing number of people want new skills and qualifications or switch jobs. the most popular change listed was the desire to work from home. an ii—year—old from east london is raising money to help young people catch up on education they've missed during the pandemic. # i feel like hulk, ahh! dj zel has been performing with her classmates and is hosting a special community event. her school is in newham —

the borough with the highest covid—i9 death rate anywhere in the country. that song is a song to give somebody — a person who listens to that song — courage, and to know that they should never give up. # never let your problems get you down # stay focused and hold your ground.# let's take a look at the travel situation now. the hammersmith and city line has severe delays and tfl rail is part suspended between liverpool street and stratford. bus strikes continue today affecting london united services across west and south—west london. in whitton, you can see the delays there — one lane is closed for gas works into town on great chertsey road approaching the hospital bridge roundabout. redbridge has three lanes blocked by an accident on the north circular southbound just before the redbridge roundabout. there are delays on the mi! southbound from junction sin loughton. walthamstow hoe street is blocked in both directions while the london fire brigade deal with a building fire. now the weather with kate kinsella.

good morning, it's another chilly start this morning but temperatures are not as cold as yesterday morning — they're all above zero. now we have got quite a bit of cloud, intermittent bright spells today — glimpses of sunshine. a weak warm front could produce one or two spots of light rain. bit breezier this afternoon but that breeze is a south—westerly, so temperatures less cold — ii celsius the maximum today, so not quite as chilly as yesterday. now overnight tonight, it's going to remain largely dry. again the risk of one or two spots of rain, but quite a bit of cloud around, as well. one or two clear spells. minimum temperature between four and six celsius — so mid single figures above zero. now for tomorrow, a cold front sinks south, some showery outbreaks of rain, but it's also going to introduce some colder air by the weekend, and that colder air overnight saturday into sunday runs into rain coming up from the south, and that in turn could turn a little bit wintry. so temperatures are still a little better today and tomorrow, but then dropping quite dramatically again, getting colder for the weekend.

i'm back with the latest just after nine. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. "morning live" follows breakfast on bbc one. let's find out what's on today's show with kym and gethin. coming up on morning live, we're talking rapid covid tests. from tomorrow everyone in england will have access to them, with scotland set to follow suit, but do you know how they work? dr xand is here with a fool proof guide and he'll be taking a test live in the studio. he'll also be answering some of your questions, so please get in touch. also today, we're looking at how the pandemic has affected the property market with homes under the hammer star martel maxwell. she'll explain everything you need to know about the stamp duty holiday and she'll also reveal if now is

the perfect time to buy. as well as the property boom, we're talking about the pandemic pet boom! and with news that dog thefts have increased by a fifth, we've got some expert advice on how to keep yours safe. and, it's notjust dogs that are being stolen, in the uk one burglary takes place every two minutes. but crooks need to watch their back because rav wilding will be revealing how the police are stamping out crime by using "footwear forensics" to catch criminals! and presenter reece parkinson knows all about footwear — he's gone through his fair share of trainers preparing for a 55—mile ultramarathon. he'll be telling us how his shock diabetes diagnosis — just weeks before race day — has made him more determined than ever to succeed. and staying with fitness, strictly'sjanette manrara is here! she'll be getting our arms in shape at 9.15!

looking forward to that. see you later. i back to our top story now — under 30s in the uk are to be offered an alternative to the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine after a review found a "plausible" link to rare blood clots . so will this damage confidence in the uk's vaccination programme? let's speak now to our health editor, fergus walsh. a lot of information in what came out yesterday, the graphs, the risk. and the _ out yesterday, the graphs, the risk. and the benefit. so what is the overriding message you took from that for adults, the benefits of having the astrazeneca vaccine, that fastly weighs out the risk. but having the astrazeneca vaccine, that fastly weighs out the risk.— fastly weighs out the risk. but the benefit among _ fastly weighs out the risk. but the

benefit among younger— fastly weighs out the risk. but the benefit among younger people, i fastly weighs out the risk. but the i benefit among younger people, and, this investigation, which shows how there is a link with blood clots the, so let's take the highest risk group of people so about one in 100,000 risk of getting the clots. a pfizer vaccine, or 100,000 risk of getting the clots. a pfizervaccine, ora 100,000 risk of getting the clots. a pfizer vaccine, or a different that don't appear to offer the risk. you know this better _ don't appear to offer the risk. you know this better than anyone, that the science and medicine comes and thenit the science and medicine comes and then it is the this is a balance that the i

wa nt want you might be thinking a the oxford astrazeneca outweighing the, because they are at for people in the 20s the risk and i the, because they are at for people in the 20s the risk an— in the 20s the risk and i think what it shows is — in the 20s the risk and i think what it shows is that _ in the 20s the risk and i think what it shows is that we _ in the 20s the risk and i think what it shows is that we have _ in the 20s the risk and i think what it shows is that we have to - in the 20s the risk and i think what i it shows is that we have to remember that we have gone through and we are still going through a pandemic. about 4000 deaths per day now in brazil and we have had over 126,000 deaths from covid in the uk and

vaccines have proved incredibly effective. they have already saved and prevented 6000 deaths here. everybody who gets covid and dies, thatis everybody who gets covid and dies, that is a tragedy. anyone who gets one of these blood clots, that is a tragic side effect but life is about the balance of risk versus benefit is especially true when it comes to public health and immunisation. thank you very much, good to catch up thank you very much, good to catch up with you. fergus walsh, our medical editor. campaigners are hoping one hundred thousand people will take part in the biggest voluntary project to remove rubbish from the uk's coastline. the million mile clean will start next month, and has been organised by the group surfers against sewage. our correspondent andrew plant's in bristol this morning. he is alongside the river avon which looks rather tranquil. even though there is a road behind it is still a

our correspondent there. now, if you live in england, you may — or may not — be excited to dust off that membership card and head to the gym when they reopen their doors next week. lam iamso i am so looking forward to getting back to the gym. back to the gym on monday next week. but after a year of being a little less active, sport england has warned that we shouldn't rush back into our pre—lockdown routine. so how can we take advantage of our new—found freedoms — but avoid coming away with an injury? we're joined now by personal trainer courtney black, and by reece noble, who's a physiotherapist. good morning to you both. we should need clear that we are not saying don't go back to the gym, but if, like me, you used to regularly go to the gym, you could be pulled into thinking that you have kept up a bit of exercise and you will be fine and go back to the old routines with the old weights and that is when

and there's nothing worse than trying to squat something heavy having tight hips are not being warm and that is what a lot of people do when they go back, they will rush back into it, not be activated or warm and they will take a hard hit and you would agree that that is how you get injured so easily, and then a cooldown is super important as well. i think people rush to the gym and straight back to their desk and they are sitting down at their desk all day and then they go to the gym having tight glutes and they are not activated and that is the easiest way to get injured and also to not get the most from your session as well. , ., ., get the most from your session as well. ,., ., ., , get the most from your session as well. ., , ., get the most from your session as well. ., , . ., ~ get the most from your session as well. ., , ., ., ~ i., well. good words, and thank you so much. well. good words, and thank you so much- there's _ well. good words, and thank you so much. there's no _ well. good words, and thank you so much. there's no point _ well. good words, and thank you so much. there's no point replacing i well. good words, and thank you so l much. there's no point replacing one stress with another. the stress of how everybody has had to live in all of those things and replacing them with the stress of worrying about going to the gym. absolutely not. if you want to relax, we can bring that to you because fiona is at the farm and she has beenjust chilling

—— this pig. she is very camera shy. she is not sure about us but she loves her bananas. this is bette midler, another rare breed at the farm, having her breakfast, but as we have heard here the advice we are being told by the experts is that to protect these animals we need to keep farming them and to keep eating them. . ~ keep farming them and to keep eating them. ., ,, ,., keep farming them and to keep eating them. ., ,, y., . ., them. thank you so much. so we have them. thank you so much. so we have the gorgeous — them. thank you so much. so we have the gorgeous bette _ them. thank you so much. so we have the gorgeous bette midler _ them. thank you so much. so we have the gorgeous bette midler and - them. thank you so much. so we have the gorgeous bette midler and we've l the gorgeous bette midler and we've seen mary and everything, and now we go to carol. how lovely would it be for a pig to be named after oneself? i'm not sure about that, lovely as the pigs are. swiftly moving on, good morning, everybody. you might have noticed it's not as cold a start to the day as it has been in recent days and it's not going to be as cold today generally. we have a lot of cloud around and there is some rain in the forecast and

blustery winds to boot. you can see the milder colours today across many parts, but watch how the cold air comes in later today and into saturday and sweeps all the way across the uk as the wind becomes more northerly and in scotland initially today and then travels across the whole of the uk. we've also had some rain and snow first thing this morning showers in england and wales with rain getting into northern ireland and it's because we have a couple of weather fronts, so a lot of cloud, some brighter breaks, sunshine limited today. the heaviest rain will be in the north and west and here as well we have the strongest winds. we have showers crossing southern england through the course of the day and in the south—west and they will get into the south—east, and you can see we also have rain across the north west of england. these black circles represent the strength of wind gusts, so you can see it will be fairly blustery. temperature wise for many of us, we are back into double figures and we've not seen at this week, but this is a cold front reducing the rain and behind it we

pull in a colder air, that northerly returning, so temperatures will be lower across the north of scotland and the showers here will be wintry. that cold weather will follow the weather front south as we go through the course of the night and the weather front is tending to weaken so we have cloud and patchy rain around it and behind it clear skies, around it and behind it clear skies, a plethora of wintry showers and in the strong winds across scotland we could well have some blizzards. under the cloud it will remain in the mid to hire single figures, but where we have clear skies across northern england and into scotland and also northern ireland, it will be cold enough for some frost. as we go through tomorrow, we start off with clear skies, again a lot of wintry showers and some of the heavier bursts we can see at lower levels and the weather front will sink south, taking the cloud and rain with it, so where we have cloud and rain in the south, that is where we remain in double figures but for the rest of the uk note how the temperatures have slipped once

again, and then, as we move from friday to saturday we still have the weather front for a time but on saturday we have a new one coming up from the south—east. still a bit of uncertainty as to the exact track but this is what we think, coming in across south—eastern land and through the midlands towards wales but this could change and it could remain in the south—east or track a little bit further north. to the north of it, there will be dry conditions, also sunshine and there will still be wintry showers with snow at lower levels and heavier bursts in the north. this batch of rain here in the south, overnight, could produce some wintry nice and if it does it will pull away during the course of sunday and then sunday and into the early part of next week, look at those temperatures, eights and nines. the average at this stage in a police between ten and 13. —— this stage in april is between ten and 13. enjoy your weekend, carol.

as the lockdown restrictions continue to ease across the uk, it's hoped large—scale events will start back up again. one man who's hoping that's the case is professor brian cox. his new tour �*horizons' will take arena audiences on a journey through the vast reaches of outer space — and it's due to start in the autumn. hejoins us now. good morning to you, brian, how are you? good morning to you, brian, how are ou? , ., , good morning to you, brian, how are ou? ., , ., ~' you? good morning. very well, thank ou. how you? good morning. very well, thank you. how excited _ you? good morning. very well, thank you. how excited are _ you? good morning. very well, thank you. how excited are you _ you? good morning. very well, thank you. how excited are you about - you. how excited are you about actually being _ you. how excited are you about actually being able _ you. how excited are you about actually being able to _ you. how excited are you about actually being able to go - you. how excited are you about actually being able to go on - you. how excited are you about i actually being able to go on tour? are you allowing yourself to be excited just yet? i are you allowing yourself to be excited just yet?— are you allowing yourself to be | excited just yet?— are you allowing yourself to be | excited just yet? excited 'ust yet? ithinki am. it is a excitedjust yet? ithinki am. it is a profoundly _ excitedjust yet? ithinki am. it is a profoundly optimistic - excitedjust yet? ithinki am. it is a profoundly optimistic tour, | excited just yet? i think i am. it i is a profoundly optimistic tour, and we planned a couple of years ago, before the pandemic. but it is based on, i was inspired by, before the pandemic. but it is based on, iwas inspired by, one before the pandemic. but it is based on, i was inspired by, one piece of music. i asked a friend of mine who is a conductor what is the most celebratory piece of music about nature and our place within it that

you know and he said immediately it is a piece by sibelius, the finnish composer, fifth symphony, third movement and the context is that sibelius wrote this in a tremendously difficult time, 1914, the first world war and there was also a civil war in finland, his native country about to be fought and yet he wrote this beautiful piece of music partly about swans taking off from a lake, but also about the celebration of the majesty of nature and a celebration of us, the fact that we as part of nature can comprehend it and see its beauty. i was really inspired by, so essentially what i have done is remake 2001, to my promoter�*s to lie, because it cost about as much and decided to put a show on with the bigger screens we could fit in the bigger screens we could fit in the arenas —— promoter�*s delight. it is really a celebration and investigation of how we came to be

from the big bang to the present day and how it is that the collections of atoms like you and me, if you think about what we are, we are little atoms as old as time, they are the fundamental building blocks of cars and have been around since the big bang, but somehow —— fundamental building blocks of cars. somehow these atoms have come to into structures, human beings who can explore the universe and bring meaning to it. that is the first half of the show. the second half is i have got really interested in black holes which seems at the other end of the spectrum, these strange collapsed stars we see in the universe at the centres of galaxies but it turns out that the study of black holes in the last couple of years has forced us to reassess what we think reality is and i think that's a question we all ask at some point in our lives, what is this? what does it mean? what is reality. i could go on for ages but i will

leave you with one statement, we now think we might be holograms and reality is not what it seems like at all and that is really weird. that is really too _ all and that is really weird. that is really too complicated for five to nine on a thursday morning. you are a scientist, a physicist, and you are talking about the mechanics of things and how they work, and as a scientist, but first and foremost as a human being, have you been thinking about science differently because of what has happened in the world that we live in? has it given you pause for thought about stuff? yes, i think it has underlined something i've always believed, which is our curiosity is actually a remarkable thing, that atoms can become curious, but by exploring nature just because you are curious is not optional, it is essential. if you look at the position we are in and the tremendous success of the development of vaccines and the roll—out of the vaccines during the

pandemic, that success is built on generations of people going back hundreds of years and knowledge that was generated just because people were interested in nature, and we are often asked as scientists, justify what you are doing, why should you be interested in black holes or this strange result yesterday of the subatomic particles hinting at a different and new force of nature. people quite naturally think, why should i care about that. but it's that process of investigating nature because you are fascinated by it and you react to it and you love it and you are interested that has generated the knowledge on which our civilisation rests. and i think there is no better evidence of that or example other than the tremendous success we have had in ultimately defeating this disease. we

this is bbc news with the latest headlines. reassuring the public that the astrazeneca vaccine is safe — government ministers urge people to come forward to get theirjabs, after a potential link to extremely rare blood clots, leading to the offer of an alternative vaccine for the under—30s. we have more than enough of the pfizer and moderna vaccines to be able to offer all those who are under 30 one of those two vaccines. scientists say the vaccination rollout in england is now starting to "break the link" between coronavirus infections and deaths. and in half an hour, we'll be putting your questions to the experts — you can get in touch with me on twitter — @annita—mcveigh,
