and after the service at the chapel of all saints in windsor great park, members of his family spoke about him. it's a great loss. i think the way i would put it is that we've lost almost the grandfather of the nation. and i feel very sorry and supportive of my mother, who's feeling it, i think, probably more than everybody else. she described it as having left a huge void in her life. but we, the family, the ones that are close, are rallying round to make sure that we're there to support her. the earl and countess of wessex also spoke about how the queen was dealing with the loss. thinking of others before herself. she's amazing, yeah. as always, yes. so, er... but bearing up — but again, it'sjust that wave of affection for him

and just those lovely stories, theyjust mean so much. and the tributes have beenjust fantastic, and that's really, really important and we really do appreciate it. and i think it's so lovely for so many people to learn about what he did, because i think it's — i think quite a lot of the things that have come out will have surprised some people. the countess spoke to members of the congregation about the manner of the duke's death. it was right for him. it was so gentle. she said his passing had been "very, very peaceful — as if someone had taken him by the hand, and off he went". all sing hymn. at a special service of remembrance for the duke in canterbury cathedral, the archbishop spoke about loss. we may pray and offer love for all who find that a great life leaves a very great gap.

britain's former prime minister sirjohn major knew the duke. he said his death would leave an enormous gap in the queen's life. i hope she will be given some time and space. i know she is the monarch, i know she has responsibilities, but she has earned the right to have a period of privacy in which to grieve with herfamily. and sirjohn said he hoped the duke's funeral would give princes william and harry a chance to mend their differences. the friction that we are told has arisen is a friction better ended as speedily as possible. and a shared emotion, a shared grief at the present time because of the death of their father — of their grandfather, i think is an ideal opportunity, i hope very much that it is possible to mend any rifts that may exist. outside buckingham palace, barriers have been erected around the pavements and signs have been put up to discourage people from leaving flowers.

but despite the discouragement, bouquets and personal tributes are still being placed. this evening, one more family tribute — a written message from princess anne, the princess royal, describing herfather as "my teacher, my supporter and my critic". "we will all miss him," she wrote, "but he leaves a legacy which can inspire us all". emergency services in the caribbean island of st vincent have described the country is looking like a battle zone after the continuing explosions from the volcano there. the streets, houses, forests and fields were covered in white ash. seismologists want further eruptions are probable over the next couple of days. will grant reports. darkness has descended over st vincent since la soufriere erupted, darkness and ash. the initial eruption threw

a huge plume of smoke and dust kilometres into the air, which obscured the sun. the volcano's activity later knocked out the power to much of the island. a blanket of white—grey volcanic ash now coats everything in sight — homes, buildings, cars and roads. the dust cloud even reached the neighbouring island of barbados, and visibility in some places is extremely limited. st vincent has closed its airspace and travel across the wider caribbean has been affected with many thousands left stranded. i came over here for my mother's funeral. last minute, ourflights were cancelled. we've tried to get through to the embassy, we've had no luck in getting through. we've had our pre—travel covid tests. we've been told to travel again, we have to have a new covid test within the 72 hours before we travel to the uk. where we can get these done in this current time, i genuinely don't know. we just don't have a clue.

following the first initial explosion, there has been a series of smaller eruptions over the past 48 hours. the question being posed to scientists is how long could this go on for? it's very difficult to say. the eruption in 1979 lasted a few months. the eruption in 1999 lasted ten months, although not continuously, so i expect we'll see quiet periods and then periods where there's perhaps explosions occurring again, which are going to produce more ash which will spread across the island. although la soufriere is the most active volcano in the eastern caribbean, it has only erupted five times over the past 300 years. islanders know they are living through a moment of history but the only aim of residents and authorities alike is to come through it with no loss of life. will grant, bbc news. in the us the governor of virginia has called for an investigation after a black us

army lieutenant filed a lawsuit against two police officers who pointed their guns and pepper sprayed him during a traffic stop. caron nazario alleges violations to his constitutional rights, including assault, illegal search and detention. it comes at a time of increased scrutiny over alleged police brutality towards minorities. the bbc�*s tim allman reports. yells: get out of the car, now! yells: open the door, get out of the car! - guns drawn and tensions high, two police officers approach a parked car at a petrol station in the us state of virginia. you received an order! obey it! they flagged the vehicle down, they say, for failing to display license plates — this deemed a high—risk stop. get out of the car! get out, now! in the driver's seat, wearing his uniform, is army second lieutenant caron nazario. now! what is going on? get out of the car, now! officers joe gutierrez and daniel crocker repeatedly called for him to get out of the vehicle. lieutenant nazario repeatedly

asks why he's been stopped. i didn't do anything. back up. then one of the officers starts using pepper spray. hold on. the soldier, who is black and latino said he was frightened to unbuckle his seatbelt, feeling in a confrontation with police he had to keep both hands on display. take your seatbelt off and get out of the car! eventually, he got out of his car, was forced to the ground, and handcuffed. put your hands behind your back. repeats: put your hands behind your back. - in the end, he would be released without charge, but lieutenant nazario is no longer happy to let things lie. if we hold enough of officers accountable for these actions, eventually, we won't have another incident like this. and i think that's what one of client's major aims are with this litigation — to try and stop this kind of behaviour. open the door! get out of the car! there was no immediate response from the local police department.

race relations in america remain fraught. this, another example ofjust how tense these confrontations can be. tim allman, bbc news. thousands of businesses in england are preparing to reopen on monday in the next stage of easing the third national lockdown. they include shops, bars pubs and restaurants will be able to serve outdoors and headdresses, beauty salons, gyms and outdoor attractions like zoos and theme parks can also be open. —— hairdressers. wells will open to retail and remaining pupils will return to school and restrictions on travelling across the border will ease. scotland, all pupils except those who are shielding will return to the classroom. pupils in northern ireland will also go back to school. here is katy austin on the changes in england. the first lockdown pushed this lingerie and swimwear chain to the brink. since then, they've ramped up

online and closed some stores for good, but they still see monday as hugely important. we've had lots of calls from customers, which tells us that, obviously, lots of customers are wanting to come into shops. but we know that some will want to continue shopping from home for some time, and we are yet to find out exactly how much of that mix is a permanent shift. changing rooms can open, carefully managed, and bra fittings will be done, contact—free. our teams are using actually the fitting rooms opposite, so rather than actuallyjoining them in the fitting room, they're doing exactly what they would normally do, from further apart. people are being encouraged to shop alone and stay socially distanced. bravissimo is confident of opening safely. profitably, not sure. the british retail consortium says that non—food stores will have lost £30 billion worth of sales over the three lockdowns. it's also clear that the past year has sped up a change that was already underway towards there being fewer shops

on our streets and people buying more online. but some things sell much better in person. after a slow winter, this bed retailer hopes to benefit from pent—up demand when it reopens 172 stores in england tomorrow. all of our stores will have very clearly designated sanitising areas, our products are for the majority requiring an assisted sales process where customers and the sales staff can touch and feel and lie on the products, and so being able to do that is an integral part of the sales process. pubs, restaurants and cafes in england can serve outside from tomorrow. gusto will open three restaurants, including this one in liverpool. they are fully booked, but it's not worth opening nine others with small outdoor areas. by the time we've got in a team of chefs, someone to wash the pots, a team — a front of house to make drinks and serve the food and a manager to run the place, we would actually be worse off than we would be

by staying closed. hairdressers are already open in wales and scotland. tomorrow, england, too. with social distancing, this salon will only have 50% capacity. we opened up our online bookings quite a few weeks ago, and we have been inundated. we're fully booked until the beginning ofjune and we've also had our phone lines open, so, yeah, we've got our clients banging the door down. they can't wait for us to open. shops can open late to cope with an expected initial rush. after a painful year for retail, they're relying on customers to keep coming back. katy austin, bbc news. still to come, it shines a light on the ignored in america but no madland is not overlooked at the baftas, it is the big winner at britain's film awards. —— nomadland.

pol pot, one of the century's greatest mass murderers has reported to have died of natural causes. he and the khmer rouge movement he led were responsible for the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million cambodians. there have been violent protests in indonesia, where playboy has gone on sale for the first time. traditionalist muslim leaders have expressed disgust. the magazine's offices have been attacked and its editorial staff have gone into hiding. it was clear that paula's only contest was with the clock. and as for her sporting legacy, paula radcliffe's competitors will be chasing her new world best time for years to come. shouting. quite quietly but quicker and quicker, she seemed tojust slide away under the surface and disappear.

this is bbc news. the latest headlines: services are held to remember the duke of edinburgh, his children say queen elizabeth has described the loss of her husband as having left a huge void in her life. the former british minister david cameron has broken his silence over his lobbying work on behalf of the financial for greensill capital. after weeks of criticism over contacting ministers, about greensill, he says he did not break any rules but except he should have gone through only the most formal of channels. a political correspondent chris mason has more details. for correspondent chris mason has more details.— more details. for three weeks the headlines _ more details. for three weeks the headlines kept _ more details. for three weeks the headlines kept coming - more details. for three weeks| the headlines kept coming and for three weeks david cameron said nothing.

— that is, until tonight, with a publication of a statement — a lengthy statements, 1700 words — in which he made a "duffjudgement". let's take a step back here. lobbying, trying to influence government is entirely normal. individuals do it, businesses do it, charities, trade unions. but how people can text the chancellor and get a reply? how many people can go for a private drink with the health secretary? david cameron did. as you say, he didn't break any rules, but there is a bigger thing here. did it pass the sniff test? and in this statement, mr cameron acknowledges, no, it didn't. let's take a look at a couple of key sentences. he says labour say tonight he should come here to parliament to answer questions from mps. those ministers who were lobbied faced questions as well, although, they say they've behaved entirely properly. some people are making the argument that if these rules weren't broken, then maybe it's the rules themselves that are

broken and need fixing. some of the highest rates of covert infection are in south america. mexico hasjust confirmed over 2000 deaths on saturday, one of its hilar —— highest ever daily totals. and in brazil, experts say more than half of patients in intensive care with covid are under a0. they believe it may be owing to greater exposure to the virus and lower rates of vaccination. smaller neighbouring countries are struggling to, the day after peru recorded its higher ever daily toll, there was a presidential election. polls have closed and some 25 million people were meant to vote which is mandatory. our americas editor gave us more details. this election has been taking place at a time of great political crisis in peru and during a pandemic which has

been very severe. for most peruvians, they feel that the political handling of the pandemic has been an absolute disaster, there have been three presidents that have gone through this pandemic and been impeached or been removed from office, so the peruvians don't feel that they have had very much stability for this last year. now, like most of latin america, peru also has an extremely weak health system so today during the elections we saw queues of people waiting to vote and those queues vying with the lines of people queueing to wait to try to find oxygen to take to their loved ones who are either in hospitals that are too overcrowded and can't deal with what is going on, or to just take it home to people who haven't even made it to hospital. so it has been some of the worst most record pandemic numbers of deaths and at the same time as peru has been going

through this election. people have been very disapproving of this, as well. neighbouring chile has cancelled its referendum vote which was due to take place this sunday because of the growing numbers coming from this variant, this brazil variant, p1, which is beginning to infect other countries. so the background to the elections has been very much one where people are absolutely terrified of going outside, of what's happening, there's been a lot of panic as well and concerns and anger, frankly at the political classes. the annual bafta film awards ceremony has paid tribute to the duke of edinburgh, who became the organisation's first president in 1959. nomadland was the big winner, but this year, because of the pandemic, winners delivered their acceptance speeches remotely. our arts editor will gompertz was watching. there was a sombre note to begin this year's baftas,

as the academy paid tribute to its first and greatly admired president. before we start, we're extremely saddened by the passing of his royal highness prince philip, the duke of edinburgh, on friday. now, the duke was bafta's first ever president over 60 years ago and was the first royal patron, a line that goes through all the way to bafta's current president, his grandson, the duke of cambridge. it was a largely virtual awards in which the nominees appeared on giant screens while the celebrity presenters opened the golden envelopes in a virtually empty royal albert hall. nomadland was an early and fitting winner, a film about loss and loneliness striking a chord in a year when the pandemic has left a lot of people bereft and isolated. the film was helmed by chloe zhao. .. if you can look over your shoulder.

..who became only the second woman ever to be awarded the best director bafta. we would like to dedicate this award to the nomadic community, who so generously welcomed us into their lives. its star, frances mcdormand, won the leading actress award, as many expected, but she was unable to attend the event. nor was sir anthony hopkins, who won the leading actor bafta for his powerful portrayal of an elderly man with dementia in the father. oh, i was a dancer. were you? yes! dad! yes? you were an engineer. what do you know about it? yes, tap dancing was my speciality. the winner of the best supporting actress was... yuh—jung youn for minari. especially recognised by british people, known as a good actor. so i'm very, very grateful and happy. she won for her performance as the equally straight—talking grandmother in minari. you can murder a liberator,

but you can't murder a liberation! daniel kaluuya followed his golden globes win with a best supporting actor bafta for playing fred hampton injudas and the black messiah. i'd like to thank chairman fred jr and mama akua for partnering up with us and joining hands to bring this man to the position that he belongs. emerald fennell won for outstanding british film and original screenplay, ending the night with two baftas to add to her personal collection. but i only have this chocolate bafta which has melted in my hand because my palms are so sweaty. bukky bakray, the teenager who plays the eponymous character in the british drama rocks, appeared genuinely surprised to win the rising star category. the big winner, though, was nomadland, which finished the night with four baftas, including the prestigious best film award. will gompertz, bbc news. matt donnolly is a film critic

for variety and joins me now. he gave me his thoughts on nomadland's win. i think this movie has had so much momentum over the past somewhat tortured month in the awards race thanks to the pandemic, but yeah, this would seem to seal its fate a lock for best picture. and is this something, what is it about the film that has generated this momentum, as you put it? it's a great question. i think because of the global pandemic there are a couple of things that make the film so universal. i think the first and foremost is isolation, and sort of finding a sense of community as the van dwellers in chloe's movie does. it follows their incredible journeys. then also, i think there's a bit of economic tension at play too. these are a community of people who have been left behind by life, can't participate because of financial reasons,

so i think it's resonant overall, but i also do believe that chloe just delivered a really beautiful, simple and powerfulfilm. and she obviously won best director for that. and of course everyone in the film industry and the wider community of course will long for the day where we don't have to reference the gender of a best director winner but we are not at that stage yet. it's another significant milestone. absolutely. yes. between this bafta win and also saturday night in los angeles, chloe took best director at the directors guild awards, which is a very prestigious body here. i think yes, not just the fact that she's the second ever, but that she represents a marginalised community and she uses her craft and her position to tell stories about other communities that might not get as much tension in our mainstream films. so it's incredibly exciting and huge milestone. best actor went to sir anthony hopkins. now, i'm welsh and biased, i think anthony hopkins should win every year whether he's in a film or not. what did you make of his performance? i think the father's and i think he paired with olivia is some of the best very intimate and small screen acting we've seen this year, or memorably, the past several years.

i know that notjust in the uk but here in america, he has a very loyal contingent of people who'd like to see him awarded for this performance and for his incredible career. but perhaps a bit of a surprise for us states—side tonight because the late chadwick boseman has been sweeping up awards for ma rainey�*s black bottom, so it's nice to see anthony get his due. thanks to matt donnolly. japan's hideki matsuyama has won this years masters title and in doing so has become the first male player from an asian country to win one of golf's coveted major titles. heading into the final day with a four shot lead he survived a couple of scares to win by one shot. although this is his first major title he has enjoyed success at augusta before winning the silver cup for the top amateur finish 10 years ago. that is it from me. you can get

me on social media. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @lvaughanjones. i'm lewis vaughanjones and this is bbc news. bye— bye. hello there. generally speaking, it looks like monday should be a dryer day, and temperatures may be a little higher than they were over the weekend. it certainly was a cold weekend, and we had widespread wintry showers developing, even had some snow here for a while in greater london. a lot of those wintry showers are fading away, but we still have cold air across the uk. high pressure towards the south—west — and running around the top of it, this weak weather front has been bringing some damp weather into northern ireland, that's pushing into parts of wales and southern england. there could briefly be a little bit of sleet and snow as we run into the colder air. and we start monday with a widespread frost, perhaps some icy patches. lowest temperatures in scotland and northern england, where we have the clearer skies. maybe still some damp weather, a bit of rain or wintering us across parts of wales will soon

move into southern england. that doesn't last long, cloud breaks, sunshine comes through, we're left with the odd shower. most of the showers will filter into western parts of northern ireland, much of scotland, northern, eastern england, and the midlands having a dry day, much better day than it was on sunday with some sunshine — and as a result, temperatures will be a couple degrees higher, as well. still cold and those temperatures will fall away quickly into the evening with those clearer skies, most places ending the day fine and dry. high pressure is building in across the uk for tuesday. you think of high pressure, you think dry weather — and for most places, it will be, but not quite everywhere. starts cold and there'll be a frost around. the sunshine coming through, some cloud developing especially in the west, maybe bringing a few showers of scotland, wales, and western areas of england. the distribution of showers does keep changing a bit, but it does look drier and more parts of the country will see temperatures in double figures. now we still have high pressure in charge as we move into wednesday.

things look a little different — yes, it'll start cold, there may well be a frost around, as well, and after a sunny start, cloud will tend to build up. but this time, it'll probably spread out a bit more, there won't be the depth of cloud, so we're unlikely to see many, if any showers around, and those temperatures in western areas could hit 13—1a celsius. it's fairly quiet weather over the weekend, there won't be much rain around, many places will be dry. but it'll still be cold — not quite as cold as it was over the weekend, mind you, but there's still a risk of frost overnight. goodbye.

this is bbc news. the headlines: queen elizabeth has said the loss of her husband the duke of edinburgh has left a huge void in her life stop according to prince andrew. he was among members of the family to attend churches remember services were held across the uk. emergency services in the caribbean island of st vincent have described the country is looking like a battle zone. that's after the continuing explosions from la soufriere volcano. streets, houses, forests and fields were covered in white ash. seismologists sworn further eruptions are honourable —— warn. the baftas have taken place in london with a virtual event. nomadland, a film about a woman who lives in a van in the american west after the financial crash was the big winner, scooping up four prizes.
