this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines... prince william pays tribute to his grandfather the duke of edinburgh, saying he would never take for granted the special memories his children will always have of their great—grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage. meanwhile, prince harry, who's returned to the uk, has also praised his grandfather for always being himself and for his �*dedication to granny.�* in parliament, mps and peers returned early to the commons to honour prince philip, where the prime minister led the tributes. the embarrassed exasperated to receive these tributes, he made this country better place. a big step back to normality in many parts of the uk with the easing

of some key restrictions. in england restaurants and pubs have welcomed back customers for outdoor service. the former cabinet minister and liberal democrat peer, baroness williams of crosby, has died — aged 90 the government announces a review covering david cameron's efforts to lobby ministers on behalf of finance firm greensill capital. and we'll speak to one of the big winners from the baftas last night — the rising star, bukky bakray. the duke of edinburgh's grandsons have been paying tribute to prince philip who died at the age of 99 on friday.

the duke of cambridge described him as an "extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation". prince harry, who has arrived in the uk for the funeral on saturday, said his grandfather was a man of service, honour and great humour. let's talk to our correspondent duncan kennedy who's at windsor castle. on's children this afternoon, statements from his grandchildren but both very much adopting that same, intimate style that we saw from those other statements. the two statements today being released within 20 minutes of each other, suggesting some form of choreography between the two. prince william, his

statement was released first and he said my grandfathers century of life was defined by service. to accompany the statement, we have also had this charming photograph that has been released, taken by the duchess of cambridge. it shows the duke of edinburgh with his great grandson, prince george, taken in 2015 with pencil up driving the carriage in norfolk. we also understand prince george used to love riding with his great—grandfather. prince william a's statement goes on to say, my grandfather was an extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation. it ends by saying, i will miss my grandpa but i know he would want us to get on with the job. then, about 20 minutes later, we had another

statement, this time from prince harry and perhaps prince harry's statement was even more informal and more personal in style. very informal, a lot of the use of eye by prince harry. we have confirmed that he is definitely back in the united kingdom. he is in a cottage on the windsor estate, the cottage on the windsor estate, the cottage he shared with his wife before they moved to canada and to

the united states and we know he is going to be and hitting their by the five days up until the duke of edinburgh on saturday. this afternoon, the prime minister led tributes from mps in the house of the commons. in a moment we'll also hearfrom the labour leader keir starmer — but first here is borisjohnson. he gave us and he gives us all a model of selflessness and of putting others before ourselves. and though i suspect, mr speaker, that he might be embarrassed or even faintly exasperated to receive these tributes, he made this country a better place, and for that he will be remembered with gratitude and with fondness for generations to come. the duke loved this country and britain loved him in return. that is why we grieve today.

but we must also celebrate him, a life lived in strong and vigorous brushstrokes like his painting, and we offer this tribute to the duke of edinburgh for a lifetime of public service, the gold award. thank you, mr speaker. members of the scottish parliament were also recalled today to pay their tributes to the duke. here's what the first minister, nicola sturgeon, had to say. in public. he was a thoughtful man and fiercely intelligent. he was also a serious bookworm, which i am too, so talking about the books we were reading was often, for me, a real highlight of our conversations.

prince philip was, without a doubt, a devoted consort to the queen but of course he also carved out a distinctive individual role. he took a particular interest in industry and science and he was far—sighted in his early support for conservation. 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 also relaxed in scotland and northern ireland. so, from today, non essential shops are open again in england, along with pubs and restaurants which can now serve customers outside. hairdressers, gyms, and swimming pools are also back in business. in wales, shops and some high street services are open, and the ban on travelling to and from england has ended. northern ireland's "stay—at—home" order is lifted — replaced by guidance to "stay local". and in scotland, pupils in six council areas have returned to school full—time. well, as many restrictions are eased, the prime minister is warning people

to behave responsibly. nina warhurst report. finally, it is time. for the high street, today really is a new dawn. excited, i didn't sleep last night. my son said, "are you nervous?" i said no, because ijust thought it was a radio interview, but it turns out that it's not! i can't wait to get back in here, we have maintained contact with our customers. it is a small city with the heart of a lion. i can't wait to fully open the doors. i am beyond excitement, i probably won't sleep for the next two weeks — i'll be in here 21w. will your customers be able to get a word in edgeways? i doubt it, but they know that! and now is the perfect time to bag a bargain. show us what you got, then! just a pair of trousers. someone gave me . some easter money, so i got a few outfits from the sale. - are you worried about safety out and about today?

well, i have had my firstjab, i have got the mask for when i go in places, we try to keep away from people. from today, all non—essential retailers can reopen in england and wales. in scotland, shoppers will have to wait until later this month, and in northern ireland it is click and collect only, with some outdoor retailers opening back up. the good news for businesses is that more than half of consumers do feel safe to return. if you are heading out shopping today, you can expect things to look pretty different. debenhams is one of so many household names closing down for good. in all, it is estimated up to 180,000 jobs were lost in retail in 2020. but where some doors have closed over lockdown, others have opened. matthew did specialise in bespoke party ware. now he has added hoodies and tracksuits to match our new working from home taste. i think it has been so positive

to have that time for once in my whole career to actually go back and explore something that i haven't really had time to do, street wear. that's where i originally started from when i was 15, so to go back to designing out of my bedroom, it is lovely to have the time to develop it. so you have learnt a lot but i bet you don't want another lockdown. i don't want another lockdown, i missed the shop so much, being here is like a second home. so being based back here is perfect. today has felt like a long time coming for millions of businesses, but after the first burst of spending, the reality of recouping the losses of a pandemic and working out how to survive. nina warhurst, bbc news, chester. molly raferty is the general manager of �*the bull�* in sussex. they've opened today and are fully booked.

and former cabinet minister, shirley williams has died at the 90. and former cabinet minister, having served more than 50 years in british politics, she was one of the original �*gang of four�* labour politicians who split to form the social democratic party. she later become president of the new party and supported its merger with the liberals to form the liberal democrats. we have been through... shirley williams was once tipped as a future prime minister. she joked that her disorganised nature ruled her out but she was clear about the qualities needed for the job. the capacity to get on with all kinds of people without snobbery and aloofness. politics was in her blood. her mother was a famous novelist and feminist campaigner. she joined the labour party in her teens and first stood for parliament at the age of 24. but it took three attempts before she finally entered the house of commons in 1964.

in a male dominated profession, she often found herself the lone woman on the platform. when labour returned to power in 1974, she became minister for crisis. with inflation running at 10%, she met worried women trying to balance the household budget. as education secretary, she set about replacing grammar schools with single—minded determination. but every single country in the community spends more on the social services than we do. a passionate european, she clashed with the labour left and the redoubtable barbara castle. too many good men and women in this party have remained silent. she fought to keep labour on the centre ground of british politics. the time has come when you better stick your heads up.

but injanuary 1981, williams was one of the so—called gang of four who broke away and established the sdp. we even stand a chance, together with the liberal party, of winning a majority of seats. it promised to break the mould of british politics. she won crosby in a famous by—election. we are making a new beginning for britain. and a new vision for britain. but the euphoria was short lived. she lost in the 1983 general election and the sdp and just six seats. i don't want it to lead to ill feeling. rows over a merger with the liberals led to acrimony. i am very sorry, i must rule you out of order. i made no contact comment on the substance of the matter. she held senior academic post and remained active in

politics, becoming president of the liberal democrats. we are now on the edge of, i believe, the greatest forward we can take to save the nhs. a popular figure on the centre—left of british politics. we can speak now to lord steel, former leader of the liberal party, which later became the liberal democrats when it merged with the sdp in 1988. within a percentage point of dislodging the labour party is the second biggest party?— dislodging the labour party is the second biggest party? that's right. i am reall second biggest party? that's right. i am really very _ second biggest party? that's right. i am really very sad _ second biggest party? that's right. i am really very sad that _ second biggest party? that's right. i am really very sad that she i second biggest party? that's right. i am really very sad that she has i i am really very sad that she has died but she was 90 and she was a tremendous dearfriend died but she was 90 and she was a tremendous dear friend and a great colleague. she was a tremendous public inspire and communicator and a real humanitarian. in

gentle, nice person and people weren't to her immensely. hour gentle, nice person and people weren't to her immensely. how big an asset was she — weren't to her immensely. how big an asset was she in _ weren't to her immensely. how big an asset was she in those _ weren't to her immensely. how big an asset was she in those days, - weren't to her immensely. how big an asset was she in those days, it's i asset was she in those days, it's almost impossible to recapture it now but it was a seismic shift in a political system that had either been liberal and conservative decades and decades and then gradually as the liberal party faded and the labour party had risen and suddenly the game, they were talking about breaking the mould and quite a lot of people seemed to think they could do at? yes lot of people seemed to think they could do at?— could do at? yes and became very close and as _ could do at? yes and became very close and as you _ could do at? yes and became very close and as you rightly _ could do at? yes and became very close and as you rightly say, i could do at? yes and became very close and as you rightly say, we i close and as you rightly say, we were only two percentage points behind the labour party but that didn't show up in a number of seats in the house of commons but she was a key figure in that. my wife always complains that she was not too complimentary but she was a key figure in the whole thing. i was auoin to figure in the whole thing. i was going to pick — figure in the whole thing. i was going to pick up _ figure in the whole thing. i was going to pick up on _ figure in the whole thing. i was going to pick up on that - figure in the whole thing. i was going to pick up on that because roy jenkins became the first leader of

the sdp and he was a giant figure, he held all they converses except prime minister. he had come back in a sense, almost kind of, he couldn't be blamed for anything that happened in the dying years of the labour government but chile had been part that government and also that terribly bitter period which he talked about had been so painful in her constituency. there are those and david nolan is one of them that things it was a mistake of the sdp not to make shirley williams leader because popularity was so distinctive?— because popularity was so distinctive? ., ., ., , distinctive? well, a lot of people feel that, including _ distinctive? well, a lot of people feelthat, including my _ distinctive? well, a lot of people feel that, including my wife i distinctive? well, a lot of people feel that, including my wife but i distinctive? well, a lot of people i feel that, including my wife but the fact is, royjenkins was head and shoulders above all of us and experience and that was the reason that he became leader of the sdp. the view was that if shirley williams and i had been running in the 1983 election together, we have done better than we did. i don't know, is difficult to tell but she

was just a very popular person, much more popular than any of the rest of us. , , ., more popular than any of the rest of us, . , ., ., , more popular than any of the rest of us. , , ., ., , ., us. just on that, i remember a touchin: us. just on that, i remember a touching site, _ us. just on that, i remember a touching site, the _ us. just on that, i remember a touching site, the three i us. just on that, i remember a i touching site, the three surviving members of the gang of four attending the opening of the james graham play about the founding of the sdp and it was nice to see them altogether and on such good terms. there were difficult years, especially when the sdp emerged, most of the sdp emerged. that was a period when her diplomatic skills were really needed to stop the thing turning into a really bitter and divisive contest. difficult enough as we saw there?— divisive contest. difficult enough as we saw there? that's right and the one thing _ as we saw there? that's right and the one thing she _ as we saw there? that's right and the one thing she didn't _ as we saw there? that's right and the one thing she didn't mention | as we saw there? that's right and i the one thing she didn't mention and that peace was that charlie became leader of the local democrat in the house of lords and was very effective in that role. she really

has died today at the age of 90. the latest covid—19 figures have just been published. almost 40 million people have now had at least one dose of the three approved vaccines. the government has commissioned an independent review into david cameron's efforts to lobby ministers on behalf of the finance company greensill capital. the former tory prime minister has been criticised for contacting the chancellor by text, and meeting the health secretary for a private drink, but insists he did not break government rules. he was prime minister for six years but it's david cameron's actions after leaving office that are under scrutiny now. goodbye, sir! in particular, his work for this man, lex greensill, who'd been an unpaid adviser to david cameron's government. now, working for his company,

greensill capital, mr cameron has approached ministers on its behalf. downing street has now commissioned an independent review into greensill�*s role, aimed at ensuring transparency. public office should not become the platform for private gain, and i don't really think former ministers and former prime ministers should be engaged in lobbying for particular commercial companies when they're lobbying their successors whom they know very well and could have privileged access to them. it's simply not fair. last week, the chancellor rishi sunak published text messages he'd sent in reply to david cameron after the former prime minister messaged him about access to government—backed emergency loans. it's also emerged the health secretary, matt hancock, met mr cameron and lex greensill for a private drink to discuss a new payments system for the nhs. in a statement last night, david cameron said...

lobbying, as it's called, talking to those in power to try to influence what they do is nothing new around here. it's part of how westminster works. labour and conservative governments have run into trouble in the past over improper access to ministers, but now, once again, the questions of not only what the rules allow but what's appropriate are up for debate. the fact is that lobbying is part and parcel of any democratic system. constituents, businesses, everybody is lobbying the government for things they want or things they think the government should do. the question is, when there are conflicts of interest, how do officials and ministers and government respond? and there isn't nearly enough conversation about this. it's got much too casual. labour say serious questions remain, and want david cameron to answer

for his actions in parliament. the film nomadland was the big winner at the bafta awards last night. the ceremony was held without an audience due to covid restrictions. the winners accepted their awards via webcam — although sir anthony hopkins missed his big moment because he was busy painting. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson explains. applause. in a year where cinemagoers had to stay home, best film of the baftas was one all about isolation. nomadland. nomadland, which is not out into the end of the month, is about a woman who's lost everything and travels the united states on her own in a van. it won four baftas, including francis mcdormand best actress. i need work. i like work. but sadly, in a year when you didn't even have to turn up to turn up, she still managed not to turn up. we've just received this message via carrier pigeon from frances, who is somewhere in the wilds of north america.

and neither did the winner of best actor. sir anthony hopkins for the father. i don't need her or anyone else. i can manage very well on my own. at the age of 83, sir anthony hopkins is now the oldest best actor winner ever. he did not appear on zoo during the ceremony, but did join in the virtual press room afterwards and explained that he is on a long holiday in wales. i was sitting here painting, in fact. | in my room in the hotel. i'm covered in paint. and i heard this cheer go up from next door, _ and i thought, _ what the hell has happened? i thought they were - watching a football match. and they came in i and said, well done. while the best stage invasion of the night happened after the star of rocks, bukky bakray, won the rising star award, and her on—screen mother and her actual mother fumi couldn't contain themselves. cheering. next up, the oscars, and nomadland is now the clear favourite. but a word of warning. the last six films to win

at the baftas have failed to repeat at the oscars. i wonder if frances mcdormand will bother to turn up. colin paterson, bbc news. bukky bakray — star of the film rocks — won the ee rising star award last night at the baftas and joins me now. warmest congratulations like you were not really expecting it? yes. were not really expecting it? yes, because i wasn't. _ were not really expecting it? yes, because i wasn't. i— were not really expecting it? yes, because i wasn't. i was _ were not really expecting it? yes, because i wasn't. i was in - were not really expecting it? yes because i wasn't. i was in genuine shock. there was a like in the beginning, people thought it was a technical difficulty but i thought i had a different name called out. he had a different name called out. he had forgotten who you were? that is wonderful. has it sunk in yet? it hasn't really sunk in. i think it will sink into night. i always told everyone that i needed to go home to

it's it�*s been two days since her historic victory in the grand national, but rachel still can�*t believe it happens despite re—watching the replays. celebrations are on hold, but that hasn�*t stopped stars getting in touch. hasn't stopped stars getting in touch. �* ., ~ hasn't stopped stars getting in touch. �* .~ ., touch. it'll take some time to ro erl touch. it'll take some time to properly sink _ touch. it'll take some time to properly sink in, _ touch. it'll take some time to properly sink in, but - touch. it'll take some time to properly sink in, but there's l touch. it'll take some time to i properly sink in, but there's been a properly sink in, but there�*s been a lot of messages. it�*s been awfully... people i haven�*t spoken to for years from school, people like ringo starr tweeting about it. it goes from one end of the spectrum or another —— to another. she it goes from one end of the spectrum or another -- to another.— or another -- to another. she has to become the — or another -- to another. she has to become the new— or another -- to another. she has to become the new face _ or another -- to another. she has to become the new face of— or another -- to another. she has to become the new face of resting. i or another -- to another. she has to become the new face of resting. -- l become the new face of resting. —— racing. not so long ago, there were people who didn�*t think women should ride in the national, let alone when it. is there a sense of satisfaction that you defied the doubters that it was possible for a woman to win? there�*s no take away from the fact that those times weren�*t that long

to prince philip�*s funeral, which is set to take place on the same day. the match was originally scheduled for a 3pm kick—off, the same time as the funeral. newcastle�*s game against west ham at 12.30 and the fa cup semi—final between manchester city and chelsea at 5.30 are both expected to remain the same. hideki matsuyama says he hopes his masters win will "open the floodgates" for golfers from japan. he became the first japanese man to win any of the majors at augusta. he led by four shots heading into the final round, but augusta national isn�*t a course that�*s easily tamed and his advantage began to disappear, with five bogeys in a i—over par round of 73 — but it was just about enough, with matsuyama winning by a single shot. and he looked very comfortable as last year�*s winner dustinjohnson helped him into his newjacket.

mark cavendish has won the second stage of the tour of turkey. it�*s the first time he�*s won a race in more than three years. many feared his career might�*ve been over at the end of last season, but the 35—year—old re—joined his old decueninck quickstep team for this year, and it�*s paid off. just on the right of the screen, you can see the manx missile sprinting to his first victory since 2018. he said it was an incredible feeling to be a winner again. and ben stokes and joss buttler are both in action in the indian premier league, as the rajasthan royals take on the punjab kings. the kings batted first and reached a massive 221/6 from their 20 overs, thanks to 91 from kl rahul. the rajasthan royals have just begun their innings but it�*s been a nightmare start for stokes, caught for a duck in the first over. 0nly just, though! a bit of a mix—up in the field. you can listen to ball—by—ball commentary right now

on the bbc sport website. they just managed to theyjust managed to cling on. we�*ll have more for you in sportsday at half past six. looking forward to that. the uk government is to go to court to challenge two laws passed by the scottish parliament last month. msps unanimously approved bills to incorporate the un convention on the rights of the child and the european charter of local self—government into scottish law. ministers in westminster are concerned the legislation could place new obligations on them which could go beyond the scope of devolved powers. both bills have been referred to the supreme court for a decision. just north of minneapolis, a police officer has shot dead a black man after pulling him over for a minor traffic violation, and in the hours since, riot police have clashed with hundreds of protesters. police fired tear gas and rubber bullets as protesters gathered at the scene of the shooting.

the incident occurred in the district of brooklyn centre and the victim has been named as 20—year—old daunte wright. this comes as the trial of former police officer derek chauvin enters its third week, with huge tensions around the charge he faces of murdering george floyd. a cardiologist has been speaking at the trial today. let�*s speak to our correspondent larry madowo in minneapolis. first of all, to the trial, what have the jury of all, to the trial, what have the jury been hearing today? the of all, to the trial, what have the jury been hearing today? the 'ury 's been hearing — jury been hearing today? the 'ury 's been hearing from i jury been hearing today? the 'ury 's been hearing from doctor i jury been hearing today? thejury 's been hearing from doctorjonathan, jury been hearing today? the jury 's i been hearing from doctorjonathan, a cardiologist. he has said the death of george floyd last may was completely preventable, and he did not see any defect of the drug overdose of defence claims or the underlying health problems. he says, and he is maybe the fifth medical

witness to say so, george floyd died as a result of the police�*s restraint. as a result of the police's restraint.— as a result of the police's restraint. , , . , ., restraint. just a few miles from where you're — restraint. just a few miles from where you're standing, - restraint. just a few miles from where you're standing, we've l restraint. just a few miles from i where you're standing, we've had where you�*re standing, we�*ve had this really bad shooting of daunte wright. the white house said they are incredibly saddened by the loss of rights. whenever it happened was a terrible time, but it couldn�*t have come at a less pretentious time then right at the middle of such a sensitive trial.— sensitive trial. that's correct. i've sensitive trial. that's correct. i've been _ sensitive trial. that's correct. i've been covering _ sensitive trial. that's correct. i've been covering the - sensitive trial. that's correct. i've been covering the trial i sensitive trial. that's correct. i i've been covering the trial from i�*ve been covering the trial from the beginning, and the city has been on edge. those already been frustration that police officers often get acquitted in trials like these, and the city has been hoping this will be different. for this killing of another black man to

happen when this trial is at the halfway mark has led to anger and pain in the community. that is what led to some of the protest last night, and right now, we are at the brooklyn centre police department and the officer that shot daunte wright was from this small police department. there are a few protesters. there somebody with a bullhorn trying to speak to the anti—riot police. there is a woman with a black lives matter flag, and if you are holding signs. 0ne with a black lives matter flag, and if you are holding signs. one of the women is holding a sign that says daunte wright matters. another one says the silence is violence. they are concerned that this is... it�*s very emblematic of how policing in america works with black communities. there�*s a high likelihood of a black man dying in police custody, and this daunte wright situation illustrated that point. larry, thank you very much.

the head of the world health organisation has warned that confusion and complacency are prolonging the covid—19 pandemic. speaking in geneva, dr tedros said the virus had risen for the last seven weeks, and called for sustained public health measures to prevent transmission. we have now seen seven consecutive weeks of increasing cases and four weeks of increasing deaths. last week was the fourth highest number of cases in a single week so far. several countries in asia and the middle east have seen large increases in cases. this is despite the fact that more than 780 million doses of vaccine have now been administered globally. confusion, complacency and inconsistency in public health measures and their application are driving transmission

and costing lives. one person has died and another one is being treated in hospital following a shooting in paris. the attack took place in the 16th arrondissement of the french capital. the attacker opened fire hitting a man and a woman just outside the henry dunant hospital. the local mayor has confirmed that it was not a terrorist attack. police believe it was gang related. let�*s get more now on the news that the liberal democrat peer and former cabinet minister, shirley williams, has died at the age of 90. in 2015, baroness williams did a wide—ranging interview with my colleaguejo coburn, where she reflected on her early life, her political career and her ambitions to become britain�*s first female prime minister. very early on, i wanted to go into politics. i remember thinking it was the obvious thing i wanted to be, and by the time i was 15, i was pressing tojoin the labour party as a member. what was it actually like trying to get a seat at that

time as a young woman? well, i had two seats — one was being a woman, the other was being a roman catholic, and it was awfully hard to discover which was the main reason why it was hard to get a seat. but i don�*t get angry very easily, and i think what made me more angry more often was the actual personal clear lack of interest in anything i have to say, or anything other women had to say. let�*s return to your time as a member of the cabinet. did you at that stage think you could ever become prime minister? yes, i thought i could because people told me i could. but i think i probably never believed that i was able enough to be prime minister. i didn�*t have that kind of complete conviction in myself that, for example, mrs thatcher had. there was another factor, too, which i think i should be honest about. i think mrs thatcher would never have been prime minister — she and i went to the same college — unless she had had what she did have, which was a

totally supportive spouse. did you not have that? no, ididn�*t. first of all, my husband fell in love with somebody else by the time we�*d been married for about 13 years, while i was applying my way up the political front and he was applying his way up the academic one. but by the time it became that key decisions had to be made, which was 1970 and again, 1974, effectively, he had gone by 1970. i understood why, that i did love him a lot, but he probably wasn�*t ever going to be the right person for a would—be woman politician to marry. for all those reasons, i didn�*t have supreme confidence in myself that i think mrs thatcher had. personality wise, you�*ve been described as a very nice person, sometimes a bit indecisive. do you think you weren�*t ruthless enough to make it to the top as well as the reasons you gave in terms of having

support at home? i reasons you gave in terms of having support at home?— support at home? i re'ect the indecisiveness. i support at home? i re'ect the indecisiveness. what i support at home? i reject the indecisiveness. what i - support at home? i reject the indecisiveness. what i think. support at home? i reject the l indecisiveness. what i think it's fair is that probably, i wasn't ruthless enough, so perhaps i'm too tolerant of other parties. but i think that's the way it should be, and i like to think about the idea of consensus rather than the idea of endless conversation. i think british process is frankly too adversarial —— british politics. on to question of what might have been. britain's first prime minister —— female prime minister. it is said that either shirley williams and rejected for the role in national, which was taken by elizabeth taylor, along with hundreds of other young girls evacuated during the war. she

actually screen tested for the job, so imagine finding that footage again. it is 30 minutes to six. prince william pays tribute to his grandfather, the duke of edinburgh, saying he will never take for granted the special memories his children will always have of their great grandpa coming to collect him them in his carriage. prince harry has also praise his grandfather for always being dedicated to granny. baroness williams dies at age 90. 60 years ago, mankind went into space for the very first time. for the ussr, yuri gagarin�*s single orbit of the earth was a huge achievement — and a propaganda coup. our moscow correspondent steve rosenberg reports on the moment a new russian hero was born. he was the original rocket man.

yuri gagarin, the first human being to do this. "let's go," he said, and he went — into space. rita nurskanova will never forget the moments the first spaceman returned to earth. he landed in this field, where she and her grandma were planting potatoes. translation: i turned round and saw something orange and beautiful. - i didn't know what it was. when it came towards us, granny was scared. she grabbed my hand and we were about to run home. then we had a voice saying "ladies, wait — i'm one of our guys." "granny," i said, "it's speaking russian — it's probably a human." granny asked him, "how did you get here?" "i came by ship," he said.

"what ship?" she asked. "there's no sea here." he said, "i came from the sky." after the space flight, communist russia celebrated. gagarin was a hero, at home and abroad. it was a propaganda coup for the soviet union. mr macillan said he's a delightful fellow. l when you see what gagarin flew into space in, hero is the word that comes to mind. he was strapped inside this tiny capsule and launched into the unknown, basically by an intercontinental ballistic missile. it takes guts to sign up to that kind of mission. but modern russia has different priorities. military projects over space exploration. there is a sense that we have to prove, not only to the rest

of the world but to our own people, that we are a superpower. so that's the way you turn — you say, "look at our muscle." " look how powerful we are." because if you look elsewhere, there's very little to find. still, a superpower needs more than muscle — it needs heroes. in 60 years, many have gone into space, but only one man was first. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. the reopening of gyms and outdoor pools in england will come as a relief to many. among those finally reopening their doors today, the birmingham university gym, wherejoe wilson has been speaking to a man with cerebral palsy for whom exercise is a necessity. monday morning in birmingham, jeremy sharp is finally back where he belongs — a gym session after the pool. he exercised for 30 years, week in, week out — until lockdown. jeremy has cerebral palsy.

he need fitness for crucial mobility, to keep the life he wants to live. the activities many people turned to during lockdown simply weren't possible forjeremy — he needs to be here. it is absolutely brilliant. i actually got quite emotional about it first thing this morning, which i didn't expect to do. moving my muscles at the moment is like trying to move a brick wall. so, without having crucial facilities like the swimming pool and the gym, it can make things really, really difficult. the charity that campaigns for sporting inclusion worries about new psychological barriers after lockdown. over two thirds of disabled people are fearful of returning to places like gyms, and therefore i think it's beholden on all of us to think about how we make a particular effort

to facilitate that. swimming is crucial to sporting participation for all ages and all abilities. reopening day in north london — lost time to make up. ayo akinwolere is a tv presenter who set world records for deepwater swimming. he's a passionate advocate. look, i want to - see britain swimming, i'm never going to lie about that! it's something that's key for me. everyone from every different background, different colour, | different genders, i want to see us all in the pooh _ let's face it, we are an island, and if we are an island _ and we are surrounded by water, we need to be swimming, | that's all i'm going to say! well, reopening is happening in england at present, and nothing's quite back to old normal yet. individual gym sessions with covid precautions, like social distancing and cleaning, are allowed. but group exercise classes are not yet permitted. the studio is still empty. every step requires caution and thought. today we filmed at birmingham university's overflow gym. jeremy sharp knows he'll be welcomed

throughout the facilities here, and when a gym is essential, reopening means everything. joe wilson, bbc news, in birmingham. hairdressers in england have reopened with huge pent—up demand, and regular customers can finally get a haircut after months without one. some salons are already booked out for weeks to come. during lockdown, our reporter danjohnson tried to cut his own hair. people watching will be hopefully looking tidier in a week or so! matt taylor will be here shortly. then we willjoin viewers on bbc one. well, this morning, he rushed to a hairdresser in london for a more professional touch. i'd had a little go at trying to keep the sides neat myself with the clippers,

which i think ijust about got away with. but tom's certainly got some work to do to try to rescue that this morning. and it's a busy morning, tom, you've got lots of people wanting to see you, right? yeah, yeah, i got a fully booked day after this, after sorting out, correcting your home job haircut. yeah, we'll probably be doing a lot of cuts like this where we'll be correcting it and also taking quite a lot of hair off, i imagine, throughout the day. and how much of a mess have i made? just a tad, just a tad, dan! is it recoverable? it is, yeah. i feel like we've done a good job already, so... is it actually harder if people have been cutting their own hair? d'you know what, i quite like the challenge, you know. it gives it a bit more of a fun aspect. yeah. you've got thousands of people who have booked appointments, right, you're even opening a new salon to try to meet demand? we are opening one in greenwich, the first day today, we've got like 6,000 people on the waiting list, so, yeah, should be busy.

is it nice for you to get your hands back amongst the hair? it's really nice, yeah, it's only taken me your haircut to make me feel normal again. ifeel guilty for taking up the space. but hopefully, it's usefuljust to show that the covid secure measures are in place, you've got to wear the visor and the mask, right, as i have? yes. does that make things awkward? you know what, we've done this before after the first lockdown, we did this, it was a bit of a shock then, but we did it all through the summer, worked really well, didn't get any outbreaks in the salons. it feels quite normal now. yeah. it can be a little bit tricky. we've already snipped one mask this morning, haven't we? it does illustrate the practical problem of trimming around the ears but you're coping very well and i'm gratefulfor the chance. i certainly needed it and i'm pleased to have the opportunity. hopefully the results are smart and not the kind of mess that i had left it in.

hello. some spring warmth in that sun when it's on your back through today, but it's still a case of winter toying with us. this is how some of us started the day — covering of snow across parts of wales and southern england in particular, and if you didn't have the snow, you woke up to a good covering of frost. in parts of highland scotland, we saw temperatures below —9 last night. in fact, it was the coldest april night since 2013, and we won't be a million miles off that through tonight. so, it will be a chilly evening out there as we say goodbye to the last of the sunshine. a few showers dotted around to the south and west and one or two close to these eastern coasts, but temperatures already dipping below single figures, and they will drop further into tonight. under largely clear skies, bit more cloud in the west, one or two isolated showers, here. that'll stop the temperatures from dropping too much, but it could mean some icy conditions. temperatures at lowest, again this time across parts of aberdeenshire in scotland, probably around —7, —8, down to around —3, —1i through parts of the midlands and southern england. but high pressure is still with us. it highs that keep things

predominantly dry through this week. it's not strong enough to completely prevent showers. there's going to be a few across the western isles, maybe to the north of northern ireland, and just down these western parts of england and wales during tuesday morning. elsewhere, a sunny start. a few showers will pop up through the day, anc certainly a little bit more cloud than you'll have experienced this afternoon, but, by and large, should be a dry day for many, and again, a rather cool one — 8 to 12 degrees. that's down on where we should be for this time of year. just to show you, comparison of where we should be. should be around 11 to iii celsius — most places around two degrees below that. so, it is staying cool, the night still chilly. little bit of frost around into wednesday morning. greater chance of some mist and fog patches around on wednesday, but, actually, fewer showers. most will stay dry, showers very isolated. sunny spells. feeling colder, though, down these eastern coasts, and that's because our area of high pressure�*s shifting a little bit, and it's going to allow more of an east to north—easterly wind to develop once again. and that could also, towards east anglia and the south—east, bring a few showers around on thursday.

most, though, will be dry. sunny start, a little bit on the chilly side some cloud building up through the day. temperatures at their highest in the west, at around 11 to 13 degrees. single—figure temperatures towards the east. as for the rest of the week, well, starting to turn a little bit milder across the south, but some rain in parts of scotland and northern ireland.

getting back to a bit of normality — in england people take their first chance in months to go to the shops and to the pub. cheers! celebrations as drinkers enjoy a pint outside. some pubs didn't waste a moment and opened at midnight. it's the first pint since christmas in a pub. still outdoors, but at least it's not raining. it is great, the first draft beer for six — it is great, the first draft beer for six months. queuing since dawn — people in england and wales grab the chance to go back to the shops. much—anticipated haircuts as hairdressers report being booked for weeks ahead. very special, very special. i've been dying to come to the hairdressers. we'll take a look at the different easing of lockdown today across the uk. also tonight... david cameron and his lobbying on behalf of a finance company —
