the weather. here is matt taylor. thank you. good afternoon. i am sure some of you who had outdoor dining plans and second odds this morning, this was a snowy view shared across some parts of wales and southern england first thing and if it wasn't snowing it was certainly frosty. in western parts of scotland we saw temperatures as low as “9.4 degrees, the coldest april morning here in the coldest april morning here in the uk since 2013. we won't be 1 million miles off that tonight, gardeners take note, plenty of sunshine at the moment, worth to the sun, i showers developing across eastern areas but the greatest chance of showers will be across the channel islands, northern ireland, wintry in places and look at the temperatures. 0nly single figures for most of us. into this evening and overnight temperatures will drop away quickly, there will be a bit more cloud and one or two showers in the west, not as cold in parts of western scotland and northern ireland tonight but in the grampians, it's —8 possible, rural parts of england and wales could be
1:32 pm
as low as —a —5. particularly chilly start tomorrow, widespread frost, high pressure in charge, generally meaning drier weather but we have a few little things going on at the moment which means it's not quite the story. a bit more cloud towards the story. a bit more cloud towards the west which will produce some showers as we go through the morning and the afternoon, fairly slow moving, not much in the way of wind, eastern areas should be dry, staying sunny for longest, more cloud around than today and temperatures a degree orso than today and temperatures a degree or so up on the values today but to put that into context, still down on four we should be at this stage in mid april. by around two or three degrees in some parts of the country. another cold night will follow taking us into wednesday. frosty star, more in the way of mist and fog dry and by and large its driver most of us, afternoon showers few in number, most of us staying dry, mild in the west, cold in the east, the wind coming from a chilly
1:33 pm
north sea and that will be with us on wednesday, the wind going around the high pressure in this sort of pattern, we are dragging the air from the cold sea in eastern england and towards east anglia and the south—east there could be some more showers around on theirs to of them dry, the best of the sunshine in the morning, more cloud in the afternoon, low teens for us in the west, single figures in the east. we see things turn less chilly as we go to the end of the week, england and wales staying dry, gardeners take note, for scotland and northern ireland as you see, there will be a greater chance of some cloud and some rain. that is how it is leaking. back to you. thank you. a reminder of our top story... it's a big step back to normality for much of the uk today, with the high street reopening in england and wales and some restrictions eased in scotland and northern ireland. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.
1:34 pm
good afternoon. i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. hideki matsuyama says he hopes his masters win at augusta will "open the floodgates" for golfers from japan. matsuyama became the first japanese man to win a major title — with his green jacket now forever marking him a masters champion. but after going into sunday with a a—shot lead, the final round wasn't quite as comfortable as he would've liked — as andy swiss reports. a moment of victory, and history. for hideki matsuyama, and forjapan, a first masters title, but not without a little drama. it had seemed a victory procession. matsuyama was four clear with just four holes left. but then he found the water... ..and his playing partner, xander schauffele, found a birdie. suddenly, the american
1:35 pm
wasjust two behind. but at the very next hole it was schauffele's turn to make a costly error, and his hopes disappeared with it. still it wasn't over though, as the unheralded will zalatoris posted a target — some performance on his masters debut. but after his wobble, matsuyama held his nerve and tapped in for triumph. the celebrations might have been understated, but the achievement was huge — the first japanese man to win any major championship, a moment for him and for his country to savour. andy swiss, bbc news. congratulations, hideki. thank you. another moment of history at augusta. tottenham hotspur say they are going to conduct a review into racist abuse of footballers on social media — after theirforward son—hueng min was targeted online. son was abused after tottanham's 3—1 defeat
1:36 pm
to manchester united yesterday. the forward was caught in the face by scott mctominay in an incident that saw united have a goal disallowed. in a statement, tottenham say "the abuse has been reported to the platforms" and that their review, alongside the premier league, will "determine the most effective course of action". well, on the field, sheffield united's relegation from the premier league could be confirmed as soon as next weekend. they've only won four games all season — their latest defeat coming at home to arsenal. alex lacazette with two goals for the gunners as they won 3—0. sheffield united are bottom of the table, 18 points from safety, with just 21 left to play for. if they lose at wolves on saturday, they're all but down — but interim manager paul heckingbottam says that's not an excuse for heads to drop. everyone has got something to play foe. their own situation, as well as the team's.
1:37 pm
the moment you want a breather, you are not prepared to give 100%, you are no good for the team, no good for the club. we have to make sure that is the message. everything else can be a distraction if you let it. england women's manager hege riise says she's confident she can turn the lionnesses poor run of form around. england have lost 8 of their last 13 matches. the latest defeat coming on friday when they were beaten 3—1 by france. that was just riise's second game in charge after taking overfrom phil neville. her side face canada in another friendly tomorrow night in stoke. that's the last game before riise names her team gb squad for the delayed tokyo olympics. having the two games is for us as a team is important. now we get to see players in the best way we can, to see where we, as a team, need to
1:38 pm
improve and what we are good at. we take heart from the france game, that was excellent. we just need to finish our chances. well, you can find more on all those stories — including highlights of hideki matsuyama's masters win — on the bbc sport website. that's bbc. c0. uk/sport. but that's all your sport for now. the former prime minister, gordon brown, is calling on the richest countries to take urgent action to achieve mass vaccination around the world. he wants the leaders of the g7 to commit to a £22 billion programme, when the group meets in cornwall injune. speaking to my colleague lukwesa burak earlier, mr brown said it was essential to get the world vaccinated. i think we have done brilliantly to get nearly 70% of adults in britain vaccinated. it is only 1% of adults in sub saharan africa are vaccinated, nobody is safe will stop
1:39 pm
nobody will be safe until everybody is safe or we do not vaccinate africa, asia and the middle east until 2021 and we do not complete it till 2023, the disease will mutate and spread. we open up the economy brilliantly now and we have to close down because another version of the virus comes into the country because we have not had vaccination in some of the poorest parts of the world. i say this is a small price to pay in keeping people safe. i hope onjune the 13th when the summit is convened, they can agree on a formula so each pays a share so we can get vaccinations into all of the countries where it is not happening at the moment. iii countries where it is not happening at the moment.— countries where it is not happening at the moment. if the money there and available? _ at the moment. if the money there and available? of _ at the moment. if the money there

1:41 pm
of trying. it is partly because we adopt this begging bowl approach. we are trying to be responsive about vaccination. some countries are giving vaccines not money and the other way round. this disease has to be brought under control. just as you need the best science to get the vaccine is making it the best science to work out how you can get to the full figure without relying on a charity fundraising approach stops the place to do it is the g7, they are the wealthiest countries. i believe this can be done in two months. d0 believe this can be done in two months. , ., , believe this can be done in two months. i. , , months. do you still believe the covax programme _ months. do you still believe the covax programme has _ months. do you still believe the covax programme has a - months. do you still believe the covax programme has a place . months. do you still believe the i covax programme has a place in months. do you still believe the - covax programme has a place in this? yes. norway, the head of the world health organization, they have all come together and formed this
1:42 pm
organisation, they are raising money. they are also planning to help production. maybe we can get production facilities in africa and other parts of the world but they do not exist at the moment, the key they do not unlock is the money. only the richest programmes can raise the money needed. it is stopping the american economy getting back to normal. in britain, it would pay asked to pay a large share of it because our economy cannot trade with all the countries you want to trade with and we are vulnerable if we do not bring it under control in different parts of the world. we are seeing it in africa, brazilwhere the world. we are seeing it in africa, brazil where there are outbreaks stop on a vaccination programme, we would hope to bring it under control. —— with a vaccination programme. we

1:44 pm
meeting after suspending campaigning over the weekend. let's hear from some of the leaders. a very long life in any circumstances brings with it a set of remarkable events witnessed and experiences enjoyed, or endured. to have lived such a life at the centre of world events and in a way which made almost every experience of public rather than simply private interest makes it even more remarkable still. and that was the life of the duke of edinburgh. there are many memories that many members will have. the memories that i have of him when he came to the senedd and the interest he showed at the three openings i undertook with him, here 2007, 2011, and 2016, was a man who was always interested, always thoughtful, and ultimately always considered in his judgment and what he said and spoke to people, as he went around
1:45 pm
the room in the senedd and afterwards. we're all here to make a contribution according to our abilities and values and the ultimate contribution is to share others. —— serve others. this was the fundamental message taken by prince philip as his compass. it's a lesson worth contemplating by all, young or old, prince or ordinary person. and in northern ireland — the first minister arlene foster and deputy first minister michelle o'neill also paid tribute to the duke of edinburgh. a true intergenerational legacy to our youth, the united kingdom and the world's environment. as we remembered our much loved monnet and herfamily in prayers, a nation because peter's gratitude is what
1:46 pm
what his royal highness did on the 2nd ofjune 1953 what his royal highness did on the 2nd ofjune1953 and every day until his death. when her majesty was crowned in westminster abbey, prince philip pledged to become a rich man of life and limb in faith and truth i will bear unto you, and live and die against all manner of folk, so help me god. he fulfilled his pledge kept his word and we are all the betterfor kept his word and we are all the better for it. that is a common debt to him. his royal highness, prince philip duke of edinburgh, has truly had a life well lived to the full. i acknowledge that the queen, prince philip _ acknowledge that the queen, prince philip and _ acknowledge that the queen, prince philip and his family were directly impacted — philip and his family were directly impacted by the conflict and enjoyed sorrow_ impacted by the conflict and enjoyed sorrow and _ impacted by the conflict and enjoyed sorrow and pain as a result of personal— sorrow and pain as a result of personal loss and bereavement. each of us present knows the tragedies of the past _ of us present knows the tragedies of the past has left a deep and profoundly regrettable legacy of

1:48 pm
that can reopen. from today, members of the same household can take a holiday in self—contained accommodation in england. one of the beneficiaries of that easing of those restrictions is country bumpkin yurts, which is based just outside market harborough in leicestershire in great oxenden, and lara collis is one of the co—owners. lara, a very welcome day for you and your business, i'm sure. tell us a little bit about what you do, what you offer. we're a glamping site. we have three mongolian style yurts. so we can accommodate separate bookings, also quite popular for hen parties and large groups when the restrictions ease that far. how much of an appetite have you seen for people who are desperate for a change of scene and are making a booking? people want a change of scene, they want to get out, especially if they have an anniversary or a birthday, something to celebrate — theyjust want to do something different. also, get together with friends
1:49 pm
and family again when they can. how far ahead have they been looking? we still had people who had to postpone from the beginning of lockdown last year to this year, and people again to postpone again until next year. we've even got people that booked last year and they're waiting to come next year, depending on where our availability was and when their plans have changed, and to work with the restrictions really. how accommodating have they been of you not cancelling butjust saying we will come at another time? to be honest, they've been brilliant, really good. everyone is really understanding and we've always said it'sjustjen and i on the end of a phone. we're human beings. that's your co—owner. we just work with them. we get to know them as well over a couple of years. we just work with them to keep postponing. people's circumstances change as well. if they want a refund them, we'll work closely with them to do that. ordinarily, you have
1:50 pm
hot tubs and bathrooms. what are the changes you have had to make to meet all of covid restrictions? we had to do quite a lot, to be honest. we had to introduce a third bathroom so each yurt had its own bathroom facilities and we also introduced kitchenettes as well, so each yurt has its own kitchen facility, so nobody is sharing. we have at the moment got the one hot tub, which is shared. unfortunately, we have had to close that off in the meantime, for the next month or so, until restrictions ease further and then we can open that up again. we have heard over the last few months, how small businesses like yours have survived by being very flexible, by being innovative. but how important has it, despite all that innovation for you, to have had support from government? been invaluable, to be honest. i mean, it has really helped us, the government support. and it has allowed us to carry on, really. yes, we have had to make investments
1:51 pm
in being able to reopen and it hasjust helped with that, in terms of the grants that they have been offering, it has definitely helped with cash flow, to keep afloat and be able to reopen for our guests. some of the changes you have had to make, how welcome are they with longer term prospects? we now have extra facilities. i suppose that in a way makes it all the more appealing. definitely. we have definitely looked at in terms of the longer term approach, thinking, this is all beneficial to everybody and our guests in the long term. everything we have had to implement. it makes everything a lot smoother and easier. yes, as soon as restrictions ease, people are wanting to automatically go straight back out.
1:52 pm
they want to stay faithful in the long term. hopefully we have managed to do that. it is a combination of caution and confidence you are trying to inspire in people. it is difficult for the industry, getting that balance between what you do for the immediate but also what you do for _ the long term that is going to work for your business. i am delighted you are still in business and the prospects are looking good for you. lara collis from country bumpkin yurts in market harborough. thank you very much. lots of businesses approaching things in a very similar way to lara, innovation and caution, they seem to be the two watchwords. riot police in the united states have used tear gas in clashes with hundreds of protesters in a suburb of minneapolis, after an officer shot a black man dead, who had been pulled over for a traffic violation. the incident occurred in the district of brooklyn center and the victim has been named as twenty year old daunte wright. this comes as the trial of former police officer derek chauvin enters its third week, with huge national tensions around the charge he faces of murdering george floyd. our correspondent barbara plett usher reports from brooklyn center.

now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. hello. some spring warmth in the sun. still a case of winter toying with us. this is how some of us started with a covering of snow in wales and parts of england. if you did not have the snow, there was some frost. in parts of highland scotland, we saw temperatures below —9 last night. it was the coldest april night since 2013 and we will not be a million miles off that tonight. a chilly evening out there as we say goodbye to the last of the sunshine. a few showers in the south and west and one or two close to the eastern coast. temperatures will drop further tonight. a bit more cloud in the west. one or two isolated showers. it could mean icy conditions. temperatures at the lowest, in aberdeenshire in scotland, probably around —7, —8, getting to —3 “4 in the midlands and southern england. high pressure is still with us.
1:58 pm
not strong enough to completely prevent showers. if you cross the western isles, maybe to the north of northern ireland, just down the western parts of england and wales on tuesday morning. elsewhere a stunning start, a few showers will pop up during the day and more cloud than you will have experienced this afternoon. by and large a dry day for many and rather cool, 8 to 12 degrees. down from we should be for the time of year. this is a comparison of where we should be. it should be around 11 to 1a celsius in most places around two degrees below that. staying cool and the night still chilly. the chance of mist and fog patches on wednesday. fewer showers, most will stay dry, showers very isolated. sunny spells. feeling cold down the eastern coast. that is because the area of high pressure is shifting a bit and it will allow more of an east to north—easterly wind to develop again. towards east anglia and the south—east that could bring
1:59 pm
more showers around on thursday. most will be dry, sunny start, a little bit on the chilly side with clouds building up through the day. temperatures at the highest in the west, around 11 to 13 degrees. single figure temperatures towards the east. as for the rest of the week, starting to turn milder across the south that range in parts of scotland and northern ireland.
