the vaccination programme in england moves to a new phase — if you're over 45 you can now book a covid jab it comes after the government said everyone in the top nine priority groups has now been offered a first vaccine — two days ahead of its target. we are going now into the 45 to 49 group. they are being asked to come forward. intensive covid testing is going on in south london where a cluster of cases of the south african variant emerged — after an outbreak in a care home we'll bring you the latest from our health editor. also this lunchtime... drinkers in pubs and bars last night said they were excited to be on a night out — — despite the freezing temperatures — as outdoor hospitality reopened in england. travelling around scotland will be allowed from friday — ten days earlier than planned.

another night of unrest in the us city of minneapolis — after police shot a black man dead and "the polluter elite." researchers warn the world's richest people to radically change their lifestyle to tackle climate change. and coming up on the bbc news channel, a fresh perspective with new coaching faces as warren gatland announces his backroom team for the british and irish lions tour to south africa this summer. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. if you're over 45 and in england you can now book your covid jab, as the vaccination programme enters its next phase. everyone over 50 or in a high

risk group has now been offered a first dose, according to the government, and ministers say they're on track to offer all adults a vaccine by the end ofjuly. it comes as officals race to contain �*significant�* new cases of the south african variant in south london, where hundreds of thousands of residents have been asked to come forward for tests. the prime minister has warned infections will rise as the economy reopens, and urged people to continue to be cautious. jim reed reports. another major milestone for the vaccination programme. all over 50s and those in high—risk groups in the uk have now been offered the first dose. at this vaccination centre in reading, they will be inviting the next age group down. it's great we've managed to get

everyone in those groups vaccinated by the deadline, we are now going to the 45-49 by the deadline, we are now going to the 45—49 group, they are being asked to come forward. all those aged 45 and up can now use the nhs website to book appointments. the site appeared to crash this morning as thousands more tried to get a slot, though it is now back up and running. overall, more than 32 million people have had at least one jab of the astrazeneca and pfizer vaccines. going forward, though, the nhs will have to get a shot to all those coming back for a second booster dose, while at the same time trying to keep first doses going for those younger age groups. are you feeling well today? today in sheffield, the firstjabs using a third vaccine, made by the american firm moderna, are being given in england following a roll—out in wales and scotland. the supply forecast gives us confidence that assuming those supplies carry on as expected, then yes, we will not only deliver on the

april 15 milestone of everybody aged 50 and above having had the chance for a vaccine, but all adults by the end ofjuly. all this comes at an important time in this pandemic. pub gardens and shops in england are now open for the first time this year. the successful vaccine roll—out has helped to drive down infections and deaths. but scientists say the public still needs to follow the rules to avoid another wave of infections. the vaccines are only one part of the solution to the problem. people do need to continue to be careful and to avoid infecting each other. you can have this infection without realising it and so there is a risk. there are now all these tests available that people can obtain to test themselves and people should use those and i and certainly, for one, are going to continue to take a lot of care. and today another reminder of how easily this virus can spread. every resident of two london boroughs, wandsworth and lambeth,

is being asked to take a pcr covid test. that is after a large cluster of infections caused by a variant of the virus first found in south africa. we have an outbreak that we are aware of in a local care home but we also know there has been some spread to the wider community and we've been testing and tracing contacts from that outbreak. but what we want to do now is check there is no further spread across our errors both in lambeth and wandsworth. lambeth council says it is fairly confident it has the outbreak under control, but all those living in the boroughs, plus anyone who travels through, have been told they should get tested to reduce the chance of it spreading. let's talk to jim who's at a testing centre in streatham now. what's the latest from there? hello, victoria. around half a million people across two london boroughs have been asked to come to

testing centres like this or have been asked to get a test deliver to their front door been asked to get a test deliver to theirfront door in been asked to get a test deliver to their front door in order to try and stamp down on the spread of the so—called south african variant. scientists are particularly concerned about that version of the virus because there is some evidence and it hasn't been proven yet, that it may make vaccines slightly less effective. that's why you're seeing this surge testing going on in areas like this. the bbc has seen documents in the last few hours about the outbreak in south london. and they show that the working theory at the moment is that it was spread by international travel, someone coming here from abroad in february and then passing it onto their household and then spread to this care home south london where we understand, 23 people have been infected with the south african variant. the authorities have been cracking down on this, trying to trace the people involved. they are confident they have got to the bottom of this at the moment, extra testing has been asked for to try and make sure this hasn't spread any

further. jim, thank you. 0ur health editor, hugh pym, is here. what is the message from the government as the vaccination roll—out continues? government as the vaccination roll-out continues?— government as the vaccination roll-out continues? victoria, there seems to be _ roll-out continues? victoria, there seems to be slightly _ roll-out continues? victoria, there seems to be slightly different - seems to be slightly different messages, on the one hand ministers are upbeat about getting through the first nine priority groups, an offer of a vaccine by the middle of april, we haven't got a precise breakdown of exactly how many of the groups have had what sort of take up though it seems to be an average of about 95%. and then moving onto the next phase of the programme. but listening to borisjohnson, he made the point that when it came to the road map for england, he saw no reason why it shouldn't go ahead but there was a lot of caution in his comments. he said yes the vaccination programme so far had made a contribution to reducing people getting seriously ill and then dying with covid but of course it was locked down in his view,

which had had a major role in suppressing the virus and now, at each stage of the road map, lifting restrictions, you get more infections and more people being seriously ill and caution was certainly needed and it could be that his words and his views are slightly affected by what we've heard from jim about what's going on in south london with the south african variant and the possibility that might become more of an issue. so where do we go with the vaccine programme here? as we've heard, it's 45 and older in england who can now go online and start booking. matt hancock the health secretary said thenit hancock the health secretary said then it would be 40 and over but wasn't totally clear about when that would begin, he said it was subject to supply and that remains a slight imponderable at the moment, how much supplies they're going through to this target of getting all adults offered a firstjob by the ofjuly. —— firstjab. hugh, thank you. people across england braved freezing temperatures last night to enjoy their first drink or meal

backin positive for covid every single day back in early january to fewer than 300 positive cases every day now. she says it's at the lowest level since late september and significantly, there has been a 40% drop in positive cases in the last two weeks. so that means a big, significant change here in scotland is on the way. earlier than expected. and the state local restriction is being lifted from friday. meaning at that point, friends and families across scotland will be able to meet again outdoors. from friday, that it's friday this week, the 16th of april, we will all be able to travel anywhere within scotland for the purposes of outdoor socialising, recreation or informal exercise, and we are also able to relax the rules for meeting people outdoors, again from friday this week. at the moment, a maximum of four adults from two households are permitted to meet outdoors, from friday onwards that will change to six adults

from up to six households. well the next key date to look for after friday is the 26th of april, that's two weeks monday, at that point tourist accommodation will be able to reopen, shops will be able to reopen fully as well pubs, restaurants and cafe s outdoor, a big reopening of the economy and of course cross—border travel between scotland and england and wales as well. international travel however is not yet on the cards. the first minister said that will be decided on a four nations basis as it remains a significant risk. she said delaying that now is the price we pay for greater normality at home. there's been political response, labour has welcomed the announcement, saying there are still significant concerns of regional variations in the vaccination programme, the conservatives welcoming the announcement but they said hospitality here in scotland is on its knees and every day that the

in response to the police killing of another black man. this was already a city on edge. the renewed anger and frustration follows the death of daunte wright, a 20—year—old motorist who was shot by a female officer after he was stopped for a minor offence. he'd attempted to escape and the police tried to arrest him on a previous warrant. this bodycam footage shows what the police chief said was a fatal mistake. taser, taser, taser! it is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser, but instead shot mr wright with a single bullet. the swift release of the bodycam video appears to have been an attempt by the police to show transparency in the face of immediate criticism. presidentjoe biden said he had watched what he called the graphic footage, and he was waiting for an investigation to determine whether the shooting was an accident. in the meantime, he said

people should stay calm. there is absolutely no justification — none — for looting, no justification for violence. peaceful protest, understandable, and the fact is that, you know, we do know that the anger, pain and trauma that exists in the black community in that environment is real, it is serious and it is consequential. but it will notjustify violence and/or looting. the minneapolis trial of derek chauvin, the former police officer accused of murdering george floyd, is moving into its final stages. the latest witness, mr floyd's brother, told the jury about his family. that's my mother. she is no longer with us right now. that's my oldest brother, george. i miss both of them. i was married, may 24th i got married.

slightly in february? yes, we know the drill, we have a lockdown and much of the activity in the economy is paused, so in february things were paused, up by 0.4% for output, but the better news is that economists are saying that as we reopen, now it's a chance for us to see the recovery take off, but how much buy depends on how much we spendin how much buy depends on how much we spend in the shops.— spend in the shops. consumers are the ke to spend in the shops. consumers are the key to this. _ spend in the shops. consumers are the key to this. thank— spend in the shops. consumers are the key to this. thank you, - the key to this. thank you, dharshini david. the world's richest people will have to radically change their lifestyles if climate change is to be tackled, according to new research. the cambridge sustainability commission said the wealthiest 5% were responsible for more than a third of the growth in emissions between 1990 and 2015. it says people will need to fly less, insulate their property and ditch polluting cars. here's roger harrabin. take off for the sunshine. pollution from flying is growing, but it is routine for many of us in rich nations.

the more you fly, the more you pollute, so the commission says frequent flyers should pay more tax. the government says collecting flight data might breach privacy, but the reports's authors say the rich must change. that class of individuals, the 1% all the 5% you just referred to, that lead to the most carbon intensive lifestyles, whose behaviour needs to be targeted by a range of different policies and measures. what we're arguing is for a shrink and share reports, we need to shrink the carbon budget to bring it in line with paris targets which all governments have signed up to, but within that, share that responsibility fairly. the gulf in emissions between rich and poor is vast. the wealthy 1% of people in its twice as much climate heating gases as the poorest half of the world's population put together. this clearly must change, the report says. change is coming.
