12:04 pm

12:07 pm
i hope very much that it is possible to mend any rift that may exist. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. it will be here in st george's chapel, windsor, so often the setting forjoyful occasions for the royal family, that they will pay their final farewells to the duke next saturday afternoon. buckingham palace is at pains to emphasise that the event will be covid—compliant. everything will happen within the privacy of the castle to avoid crowds gathering. the funeral will be what is known as a ceremonial royal funeral. that's one level down from a state funeral. it will take place at three o'clock next saturday afternoon, april 17.
12:08 pm
the duke's coffin will be borne in a ceremonial procession from the castle's state apartments to st george's chapel. members of the royal family, led by the prince of wales, will walk behind the coffin. there will be a national one—minute silence when the coffin reaches the chapel at three o'clock. inside the chapel, the congregation will be limited to 30. the public is being asked not to go to windsor. the best place to watch it all will be on television, said a palace spokesman. from his home at highgrove, the prince of wales paid this tribute to his father. my family and i miss my father enormously. he was a much loved and appreciated figure. and apart from anything else, i can imagine him to be so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world in the commonwealth
12:09 pm
who also, i think, share our loss and our sorrow. and my dear papa was a very special person who, i think, above all else, would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him. and from that point, my family and i are deeply grateful for all that. it will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly sad time. 0utside windsor castle people continue to leave flowers, despite the requests not to do so. people want to pay their respects and show their appreciation for a man who gave this country so many years of service. nicholas witchell, bbc news. there are fresh reports that senior ministers in the british government were lobbied by former prime minister, david cameron, after he left office. the sunday times says the health secretary, matt hancock,
12:10 pm
went for a private drink with david cameron and lex greensill, who advised mr cameron's government, and then went on to hire the former prime minister. 0ur political correspondent helen catt explained that while it's reported that no rules were broken, the incident is raising questions about the transparecy of the lobbying process. 0ver recent weeks there have been various details have emerged about how david cameron has used his influence and his contacts on behalf of his employer. in recent weeks it emerged that he had texted the chancellor rishi sunak for example on his personal mobile phone. rishi sunak took the unusual step of publishing his responses to mr cameron. this was about getting access to government backed loans for the company during the pandemic. that request was actually refused in the end and the company has since collapsed. but today the sunday times has details of another
12:11 pm
lobbying effort involving another cabinet minister, this time the health secretary matt hancock. it turns out that mr cameron took mr hancock and the company boss for a private drink at a time when he was trying to get the nhs to use an app to pay doctors and nurses. he said he updated entirely in the right way. some trusts did go on to use this app and the department of health said that was a decision for local trusts. as to cameron, mr green still haven't commented on this. but the questions are generally about lobbying and the transparency of it and who gets access to whom and how. labour have said these are fresh revelations of a culture of cronyism. they want to see the rules tightened up. it is important to say that no lobbying rules have been broken here, mr cameron did wait the two years he had to after leaving office to take a blocking position but critics say it well, the lobbying rules are not
12:12 pm
tightened. it well, the lobbying rules are not tiahtened. ., it well, the lobbying rules are not ti . htened. ., ., tightened. helen catt there, our olitical tightened. helen catt there, our political correspondent. - india has reported a record number of coronavirus infections, after more than 150,000 people tested positive in a single day. the country is in the midst of a severe second wave of the virus 0ur india correspondent yogita lamaye sent this report. a hospital in a western city. these are covid patients and there are no doctors to look at them, says the man filming the video. in the worst affected city in india, people are being given oxygen outside a hospital because it is too full. patients are struggling to get medical care as india is in the grips of a fierce second wave of covid. 73—year—old mary was taken to six hospitals, none of which had critical care for her. she died on her way to the seventh.
12:13 pm
her son anthony spoke to me from isolation. "all these years she never needed to go to a hospital, and when she did i could not do anything for her. ifailed her," he says. field hospitals built last year to add to existing facilities are already full. this one is managed by dr kapale, who has been on the front line since the pandemic began. so what is different this time around? right now i am seeing, when a single member is positive, the entire family is positive. the infection rate has gone up. it is affecting young adults, which is quite surprising. last year it took more than six weeks for daily cases to double to the number seen at the worst of the first wave.
12:14 pm
this year it has taken less than ten days for infections to grow twofold to the current high, which has already surpassed 2020's peak. the government says people not following covid protocols has led to the surge, but many experts believe that is not the main reason. it cannot explain the kind of surge increases that we are seeing currently in india, which clearly suggest that there is a great role for highly infectious variants of the virus, which are spreading faster. some of them might even have the capacity to escape the immune system. to make matters worse, dozens of vaccination centres in mumbai and maharashtra are closed because of a lack of supplies. india's health minister says there is no shortage of vaccines. this country has been mass—producing them and over the past few months has exported tens of millions of doses, so people who have been turned away from centres
12:15 pm
like this one are asking where their doses are. the worst hit areas are in lockdown, but cases are rising rapidly in many other parts of india. that has not deterred election campaigns and festival celebrations. it is just the start of an aggressive wave of covid—19, but this country appears to have let its guard down. non—essential shops in england will reopen tomorrow for the first time in more than three months. it's a big moment for staff who have been on furlough and away from friends and colleagues. nina warhurst reports from bolton. open the doors! switch on the lights. the whole team is here.
12:16 pm
nice to see you all. how has lockdown been? it is good to be back. what is it like being back and catching up? it is absolutely fantastic. it is brilliant to see faces and finding out what their experiences have been through lockdown. you don't realise how much you miss the banter until you are away and not seeing people every day. just getting together and having a laugh and a joke is a relief, to be honest. natalie and barry worked together for 19 years, sharing big nights out, problems on the shop floor and those important moments. she just congratulated us on the birth of one of my granddaughters. so that is good. we have a good relationship. it is like a family. very much so. lisa and anna have, between them,
12:17 pm
60 years of experience at this firm. what is it like to see everybody in the flesh? it has been lovely today. everyone has a big smile and they are happy to be back and we are waiting for customers to arrive now and that will be even better. it feels like a long time coming we are excited to open the doors again and welcome customers back to shop with us. ah yes, the c—word. have you missed customers? be honest. we do have some really lovely and loyal customers. the best thing about a day at work here is where you meet somebody for the first time and you have a good conversation and you almost forget what you were doing and you just chat about holidays and where you live and where they have been and that kind of stuff. it is therapeuticjust having a chinwag. but with physical shields and barriers, things will be different. do you think you can still have that intimate experience?
12:18 pm
i know we can because we had it after the previous lockdown. once we have gone through the covid security, it was a lovely experience for everyone. everyone was friendly and warm and just as exciting as it has always been. are you concerned that consumer behaviour will have changed, that people will not necessarily be as keen to come into a store? what we see is that we have a touchy—feely product. the previous lockdowns, whenever we have reopened there has been a sense of people wanting to get back out and back onto the high street and the shops and we have seen a spike in business after the lockdowns so we hope the same will happen again this time. if you are hitting the high street, enjoy it. who are the biggest gossips in store? that would be telling. is that because it is you? we do all like to have a chat. as much as they will enjoy seeing you, and each other.
12:19 pm
as well as shops, hospitality can reopen tomorrow in england, provided it's outside. i'm joined now by gil richardson, owner the bull inn at west tanfield in ripon. thank you very much for being with us. what are your plans for tomorrow?— us. what are your plans for tomorrow? ~ , ., ., , ., tomorrow? well, it is going to be a lot of work- — tomorrow? well, it is going to be a lot of work. we _ tomorrow? well, it is going to be a lot of work. we are _ tomorrow? well, it is going to be a lot of work. we are doing - tomorrow? well, it is going to be a lot of work. we are doing an - tomorrow? well, it is going to be a lot of work. we are doing an awfull lot of work. we are doing an awful lot of work. we are doing an awful lot now to get everything set up in the garden. but it is notjust setting things up, we have got new systems to put in place, we need to funnel people into the garden through a specific way and everything seems to change so there is a lot to do. we have got the team in at the moment sorting out tables and myjob later on is to write blackboards with different instructions on and we got to print out menus on the new menus, reduce menus, on paper with lots of

12:21 pm
we have got lots of new tables in the garden but they all spread out. hopefully that will work. so they don't have to book but i think for everybody's sake it is better if they do. and of course we need to take everybody's contact details, so thatis take everybody's contact details, so that is going to be an extra effort when we are serving people. and we're actually suggesting to people if they to book a table they can leave all the contact details if they do it by e—mail can leave it on they do it by e—mail can leave it on the e—mail. so we're just trying to see how it will work. find the e-mail. so we're 'ust trying to see how it will work.— the e-mail. so we're 'ust trying to see how it will work. and how tough has it been — see how it will work. and how tough has it been for— see how it will work. and how tough has it been for you _ see how it will work. and how tough has it been for you for _ see how it will work. and how tough has it been for you for the _ see how it will work. and how tough has it been for you for the last - has it been for you for the last year or so?— has it been for you for the last ear or so? ~ ., ., , year or so? we had a good summer last summer _ year or so? we had a good summer last summer because _ year or so? we had a good summer last summer because we _ year or so? we had a good summer last summer because we are - year or so? we had a good summer last summer because we are in - year or so? we had a good summer| last summer because we are in such year or so? we had a good summer i last summer because we are in such a good tourist area, we have got this amazing garden. but, yeah, so we went too bad going into lockdown. i think financially one of the worst things is i think staff morale goes
12:22 pm
down because people have been sitting around for so long. and although on the one hand they are looking forward to getting back to work, it is actually quite daunting and one or two of the people, one or two of the staff have gone off and taken of the jobs that are perhaps a bit easier. so we are now finding out that we don't have the number of staff that we thought we had. and, yeah, we need more staff because of implementing all the safety rules. so, yeah, it is going to be fun but we are looking forward to it. we want good weather, that's the main thing! want good weather, that's the main thin! �* . . want good weather, that's the main thin! ., ., want good weather, that's the main thing! i'm afraid nobody can leaislate thing! i'm afraid nobody can legislate about _ thing! i'm afraid nobody can legislate about that - thing! i'm afraid nobody can - legislate about that unfortunately! good luck to you for the reopening. i know you have got tonnes of work to do so going to let you go and get on with it but thank you so much for talking to us. that isjo richardson who owns the ball in if you fancy popping in tomorrow.

12:27 pm
no, that is something especially true for me who is a grief professional. i have seen people go through it countless times but when it happened to me it was something that shook the world so much that i did feel as if i had kind of lost my place in my sense of myself, which i why i describe as being like madness. i think that's particular difficult, especially for somebody like the queen, whose presence and whose endurance play such an important part in our sense of ourselves as a nation. and as a people. and of course we all feel for her terribly, it will be a grievous loss. and our sincere condolences and our prayers if we are praying types go to her. and it reminds us how much this narrative continuity are, but prime individual ones in ourfamily too, they continuity are, but prime individual ones in our family too, they enable us to know who we are and they give us to know who we are and they give us our sense of place. tote us to know who we are and they give us our sense of place.— us our sense of place. we know the queen has — us our sense of place. we know the queen has a _ us our sense of place. we know the queen has a close _ us our sense of place. we know the queen has a close family _ us our sense of place. we know the queen has a close family around i us our sense of place. we know the | queen has a close family around her at the moment to help her with that process but what you talk about in your book in terms of how relatives
12:28 pm
and friends and loved ones can help people who are bereaved to help them come to terms with their grief? i mean, it's difficult to generalise because grief is particular to every person. some people do it in different ways from others. i imagine the british royalfamily with its stiff upper famous stiff upper lip might seem quite buckle down to some. i felt i really wanted to talk to those who are nearest and dearest to me, my family, my closest friends. sometimes strangers. i mean, i was very touched by people who just stopped me mean, i was very touched by people whojust stopped me in mean, i was very touched by people who just stopped me in the street and gave me their condolences, sometimes awkwardly, sometimes with embarrassment because we are british and we feel embarrassed about things that carry emotional charge. but i think that is important that other people are acknowledging what has happened to you. we used to be better at this, our victorian forebears with all the kind of elaborate paraphernalia of morning

seemed perhaps a bit sentimental and fussy to us but they knew something we have forgotten that it all others if you are looking up to share your life with someone who you love and they love you, the chance is 50—50 that you're going to be a or widower. and so it is worth getting prepared for it. i’m widower. and so it is worth getting prepared for it— prepared for it. i'm grief is the rice of prepared for it. i'm grief is the price of love. _ prepared for it. i'm grief is the price of love. what _ prepared for it. i'm grief is the price of love. what about - prepared for it. i'm grief is the i price of love. what about funerals because they are so limited at the moment because of covid and we know that the duke of edinburgh's is going to be limited in terms of numbers who can attend. how important are funerals in terms of coming to terms with grief and the death of a loved one? i coming to terms with grief and the death of a loved one?— death of a loved one? i think the 're death of a loved one? i think they're really _ death of a loved one? i think they're really important - death of a loved one? i think- they're really important because they're really important because they are a kind of formal ceremony at which you can take your leave of the person who has died. and that i think is really important. for those of us who are christians or those who belong to one of the major faiths, we do that with ceremonies that have been around long before we were and we will be around long after we have gone and there is something about that that i think is very powerful. and we see in the
12:30 pm
national ceremonies around the royal family. particularly exposed the last one i can think of is the death of the queen mother and there is something dignified and also objective about those rights that capture something important, allows us to feel the grief that we all feel, to celebrate a life that was rich and shared with many. and to offer us the hope that big beyond the dark arising of death, the possibilities of new life endure. richard coles, always good to talk to you. thank you so much for talking to us and condolences on the loss of your partner and your sister—in—law, i know you have suffered more than your fair share of loss and grief recently so thank you so much for your time.- you so much for your time. thank ou. you so much for your time. thank you- now. _ you so much for your time. thank you- now. look— you so much for your time. thank you. now, look at _ you so much for your time. thank you. now, look at our— you so much for your time. thank you. now, look at our latest - you so much for your time. thank you. now, look at our latest bbcl you. now, look at our latest bbc news headlines. new details emerge about the scale of government lobbying involving the
