good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: the government says the uk's vaccination programme remains on track — afterjohnson &johnson suspends a planned rollout of its covid vaccine in the us and europe. the pressure builds on david cameron as mps prepare to vote on a parliamentary inquiry into the former prime minister's lobbying. a charity shop boom. they report record sales as shoppers head back to the high streets to hunt out a bargain. another step back to normality as hot air balloon flights resume. so,

come fly with us. the vaccine roll—out wouldn't have happened without brexit. the view of sirjames dyson speaking exclusively to breafast about leaving the eu, jobs here and abroad, and who does the vacuuming at home. a late scare for chelsea, but they're through to the semifinals of the champions league for the first time in seven years. good morning from the roof of broadcasting house in london. a chilly start across the board, but cool along the north sea coastline. the details later in the programme. it's wednesday april 14th. our top story. the department for health insists that its target to offer a covid vaccine to all adults in the uk by the end ofjuly remains on track, afterjohnson &johnson suspended a planned rollout of its jab in the us, south africa and europe.

it follows reports of very rare blood clotting in some people who've had the jab in america. the uk's ordered 30 million doses of the vaccine, and the medical regulator says it'll evaluate safety reports "robustly" before approving its use. our medical editor fergus walsh reports. an abundance of caution was cited by us health officials as the reason why they paused the use of the single—shotjohnson & johnson covid jab. the vaccine, which in europe is branded as janssen, was approved in the us in late february. since then, there have been six incidents of very rare clots in the brain out of 6.8 million doses. so less than one case per million people immunised. all were women under 50. one of them died and one is critically ill. i think this is an unusual occurrence of a serious adverse

event that you want to make sure before you go forward. you investigate it thoroughly, and that's exactly what they're doing. they're pausing so that they can look at it more carefully. similar very rare clots have occurred with the oxford astrazeneca jab, and scientists are investigating whether this type of vaccine technology could be implicated. 30 million doses of thej&j janssen vaccine are on orderfor the uk, although it's yet to be approved. it's hoped the delay in the roll—out won't slow the vaccination drive here. these are the vaccines which are global workhorses of the vaccination programme. it's a lot of vaccine that potentially might not be used. and i think that would be tragic because you're much, much more likely to have a severe adverse outcome if you catch covid. i mean, this is the thing which is much more likely to cause clots than than the vaccine. the biggest concern is globally.

the plan was to immunise one billion people worldwide with the vaccine this year. if that's disrupted, it will slow efforts to finally bring the pandemic under control. fergus walsh, bbc news. a major uk trial looking at whether covid vaccines can be mixed — meaning different ones are used for first and second doses — is being expanded. adults over 50 who have already had a first dose of pfizer or astrazeneca can apply to take part in the study, as our health reporter michelle roberts explains. currently, the nhs offers people an identical covid—19 vaccine for their first and second doses, but some experts believe switching to a different brand of vaccine for the second dose might give broader and longer—lasting protection against the pandemic virus and new variants of it, as well as offer more flexibility to vaccine roll—out. more than 800 people have been helping researchers investigate this in a trial called com—cov.

they've received two doses of either pfizer, astrazeneca or a combination of both to see which works best for immunity. results from this first stage are expected next month, but the investigators now hope to recruit around a thousand people aged 50 or older to take part and test more vaccines in different combinations. that includes the new moderna vaccine and the novavax one that's expected to be approved soon in the uk. dosing with one, then dosing with the other. and that would give a lot more flexibility if there was any problems with supply for one vaccine, for example, or changes in recommendations for different age groups. then if someone�*s been primed with one vaccine, they're not locked into getting the same vaccine for the second dose. and we will be testing those combinations against the new variants as they come through. so the blood tests we obtained, we'll test them against the new variants to see potentially if they offer any broader protection against the multiple different strains. volunteers need to have already had one covid jab on the nhs in the past

few months and be willing to travel to a regional nhs hospital trust site in england to take part. they'll have blood taken to check how well vaccines trigger an immune response. the study will run for a year, but there should be some reportable findings byjune orjuly to shape how the uk and the world continues to protect populations against this deadly virus. michelle roberts, bbc news. there will be a debate in parliament today to decide if there should be a full inquiry into the links between the former prime minister david cameron and the failed finance firm greensill capital. borisjohnson insists the independent inquiry he's ordered into mr cameron's lobbying will have carte blanche to talk to anyone. but labour says the review "has all the hallmarks of a cover—up". our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. the actions of a former prime minister and those of current ministers. laboursays minister and those of current ministers. labour says they've

brought the shadow of a scandal that parliament must investigate, or it fears the review borisjohnson has set up will be a whitehall whitewash.— set up will be a whitehall whitewash. _ _ ._ whitewash. day by day, new revelations _ whitewash. day by day, new revelations are _ whitewash. day by day, new revelations are coming - whitewash. day by day, new revelations are coming out i whitewash. day by day, new- revelations are coming out about greensill we need a proper inquiry to get to the bottom of this, not the half—hearted inquiry that the government have announced so far. the latest revelations, that the former head of government procurement began working part—time at greensill capital while he was still a civil servant. bill carruthers says his move in 2015 followed established procedure, was approved and he believes not uncommon. laboursays approved and he believes not uncommon. labour says the real questions are for the conservatives. how in 2011 a financier lex greensill became an advisor to the government. and his company hired

david cameron, now out of office, who next year arranged a private drink with the matt hancock, the health secretary, and mr green seal. and last year he texted chancellor rishi sunak seeking access for greensill for government funds. mr cameron has said he broke no rules, mr hancock that he reported his meeting with greensill and acted properly. the chancellor says he has been open too. he has released private texts he sent to mr cameron in which he says he pushed the treasury to help greensill, and the government says its inquiry can ask anybody whatever it needs. but labour insists what happens behind closed doors was cronyism, and an independent inquiry is needed. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. protesters have clashed with police in minneapolis for the third night in a row after a black man was shot

dead on sunday. the policewoman who fatally shot daunte wright has resigned, along with the police chief. it comes as the trial of the officer accused of killing george floyd in the same city begins hearing from defence witnesses. 0ur north america correspondent barbara plett—usher reports. gunshot. for a third night police drove back protesters venting their anger over the shooting of another black man. hit in the chest by a policewoman who confused her gun with her taser, in the middle of the trial of the officer accused of killing george floyd. do you know the difference between a gun and a taser? under pressure, the policewoman resigned. she was a 26—year veteran of the force. she was followed by the police chief. we are here and we will fight forjustice for this family, just like we are fighting for our brothers. george floyd's family has come together in solidarity with the relatives of the dead man, daunte wright.

sharing their quest forjustice and their loss. i thought somebody was playing a joke on me. it hurt me to my heart. daunte was a beautiful child. he might not have been an angel, but he was our angel. 0ur angel. he belonged to us. inside the courtroom, the defence took over after the prosecution rested its case. more footage of george floyd from police body cameras was shown to jurors. the defence is arguing that it was a drug overdose which caused his death rather than excessive force by the officer who restrained him by kneeling on his neck. testimony is expected to wrap by the end of the week, and the jury will begin deliberations shortly after that.

there is a lot at stake in what it decides. the authorities are bracing for the possibility of further unrest once there is a verdict. they were hoping that the resignation of the police officials would help to defuse the anger, but so far that has failed to stop the protests. barbara plett usher, bbc news, minneapolis. the queen has returned to royal duties four days after the death of the duke of edinburgh, to mark the retirement of her household's most senior official. the monarch held herfirst in—person event to host a ceremony at windsor as william peel formally stood down as lord chamberlain. the earl had overseen the arrangements for the duke's funeral. the world's longest rabbit has gone missing and is thought to have been stolen from its enclosure. that is a long rabbit!

darius, a continental giant rabbit measuring four feet long, disappeared from his home in stoulton, worcestershire, on saturday night. his owner, annette edwards, has offered a £2,000 reward for his return and said it was a "very sad day". he claimed the guiness world record for the longest rabbit alive in 2010. ididn't i didn't know there was a longest rabbit award. find i didn't know there was a longest rabbit award.— i didn't know there was a longest rabbit award. �* ., ,., , rabbit award. and what did we say, was it 2010? _ rabbit award. and what did we say, was it 2010? are _ rabbit award. and what did we say, was it 2010? are long _ rabbit award. and what did we say, was it 2010? are long lasting. - was it 2010? are long lasting. ho efull was it 2010? are long lasting. hepefully he _ was it 2010? are long lasting. hopefully he will _ was it 2010? are long lasting. hopefully he will get - was it 2010? are long lasting. hopefully he will get back- was it 2010? are long lasting. i hopefully he will get back home. was it 2010? are long lasting. - hopefully he will get back home. if you've got a long rabbit, give it back. i you've got a long rabbit, give it back. . w' you've got a long rabbit, give it back. . w ., , �* you've got a long rabbit, give it back. . �* m back. i did check it wasn't april the 1st, by _ back. i did check it wasn't april the 1st, by the _ back. i did check it wasn't april the 1st, by the way. _ back. i did check it wasn't april the 1st, by the way. it - back. i did check it wasn't april the 1st, by the way. it is - back. i did check it wasn't april the 1st, by the way. it is not. l the 1st, by the way. it is not. let's have a look at the weather. it is chilly here on the roof of broadcasting house in london. we have a little more cloud in the south—east that we have been used to, but it will break up and leave some mist and fog patches around.

the lowest temperature we saw overnight was —5, but for many of us it is a cold start, and the forecast for today is one of sunny intervals and mainly dry. i say mainly dry because there are some showers around, and those showers today especially across western and southern areas, and there is not much breeze to move them along, so they are likely to be slow—moving. the cloud across the south—east breaking up as we go through the course of the morning, some sunshine developing and a lot of sunshine around today with just some fair where the cloud through this afternoon. but if you are on the north sea coastline, particularly so of england, we do have an onshore breeze so it will feel cooler. in the sunshine further west, it could be 12 or 13 degrees today. through this evening most of the showers will fade, they will be a local frost, and again various bits and pieces of cloud around, and by the end of the night we will be looking

at showers coming in from the netherlands across parts of the south—east. temperatures roughly around freezing, so just below or just above, hence the local frost. tomorrow we start off on the nippy note, a lot of dry weather around but we will see further showers coming in from the south—east, moving across for example lincolnshire, may be as far north as yorkshire, the south—east, and they will drift further west towards the midlands. again they will be slow—moving, and temperatures highest out towards the west, looking at 13 or 1a, so temperatures for some at least starting to rise. carol, thank you very much. there can only be a handful of big bosses so famous you only need to know their last name. sirjames dyson is absolutely one of them, though. nina's been to meet the inventor and businessman for us. nina, what did he have to say?

it was a fascinating day yesterday. good morning. sirjames dyson is hiring. as you say, one of the most famous business owners in britain. his vacuums, hair and hand dryers are credited with making life easier for millions, but he's also caused controversy by backing brexit then moving manufacturing abroad. he told me he's a global thinker, but what does that mean forjobs here? yesterday i had an exclusive snoop around his secretive hq in wiltshire. it is quite a conservative haircut, it is not a particularly artistic one. ., ., �* ~' it is not a particularly artistic| one— the it is not a particularly artistic one. ., ., �* ~ the treat one. you don't think so? the great lockdown level, _ one. you don't think so? the great lockdown level, how _ one. you don't think so? the great lockdown level, how is _ one. you don't think so? the great lockdown level, how is the - one. you don't think so? the great lockdown level, how is the home l lockdown level, how is the home haircut? james dyson carried on working through lockdown. it is the first time cameras have been allowed inside this lab. the focus here, making batteries. it is top secret what is going in the cake, the ingredients?— what is going in the cake, the ingredients? what is going in the cake, the incredients? , ., , ingredients? the problem with the moment is they — ingredients? the problem with the moment is they have _ ingredients? the problem with the moment is they have a _ ingredients? the problem with the moment is they have a liquid - moment is they have a liquid electrolyte which has a transfer from the anode to the cathode, and

soon that will change our lives. and he also spoke really fondly of prince philip, who awarded him with the engineering award 25 years ago, and he said he was a sort of person who every time you met him subsequently remembered the last conversation exactly and always left with a cheeky comments, so we see this bigger picture of prince philip. fascinating coming in, thank you very much. philip. fascinating coming in, thank you very much-— you very much. let's have a look at the papers- — "thirst in the queue" is the headline on the front of the sun. the paper reports 14 million people have made pub bookings and says many venues in england are booked up until may. the mirror leads on david cameron's lobbying row, calling it "the worst tory scandal in a decade". the daily telegraph says almost a quarter of registered coronavirus deaths are the result of people who tested positive for the virus, but did not have covid—19 as the primary cause of death. the paper says the evidence supports calls to speed up the easing of restrictions. and one of the most read stories

on the bbc website is that newquay has been named the hottest property—seller's market, with eight out of ten listed homes having been sold subject to contract since the start of the year, making it the fastest—moving market in the uk. lets have a look at the insides. you have been looking at that one for a while. we have been looking at that one for a while. ~ ,., ~' have been looking at that one for a while. ~ ,., ~ , have been looking at that one for a while. ~ ~' , ~' while. we both like things like this. this is— while. we both like things like this. this is a _ while. we both like things like this. this is a survey - while. we both like things like this. this is a survey about i while. we both like things like i this. this is a survey about what gives us joy in life. they spoke to 2000 people, they were quizzed about what their top things that made them happy. number one is the sun on your face, also fresh sheets, stunning views, waking up to the sun, a nice dinner. what is your favourite? i will go number14, dinner. what is your favourite? i will go number 14, which is cake, i think. i will go number14, which is cake, i think. ~' , will go number14, which is cake, i think. ~ , ., ., . think. i think my favourite which rives me think. i think my favourite which gives me proper _ think. i think my favourite which gives me properjoyous - think. i think my favourite which gives me properjoyous when i think. i think my favourite which | gives me properjoyous when you think. i think my favourite which i gives me properjoyous when you put your hand in your pocket and you pull out money that you don't know is there. ~ . pull out money that you don't know is there. ~' ., . i. pull out money that you don't know is there. ~' ., i. ., �* is there. like in a coat you haven't worn for ages! _

along the way to find out what getting the vaccine means to them. you can see in the smile what it means to be vaccinated. nhs staff, the most clinically vulnerable, everyone over the age of 50, all top nine priority groups, 32 million people. it is a remarkable national effort that has changed people's lives. the last year has been its been scary, i'll admit that it's been really scary. it's also been its been a very anxious time of my life. and yeah, my mental health did did decline. and i had a really bad episode sort of summer last year, but feeling much

better now, and yeah. it's been a tough year for ellen, not being able to see her family ellen has brittle asthma and has been shielding, but now she's fully vaccinated. it sounds really cheesy. it feels like a lifeline. it feels like there's hope now being able to see that my friends and family especially say i've got two lovely nephews have been able to actually see them. and that's it's made a world of a difference. i'm a critical care nurse, i've just finished 48 hours of work. ijust want to get some stuff in for the next 48 hours. this was dawn bilborough at the start of the pandemic. exhausted and frustrated that people were stockpiling food, leaving her nothing. people like me are going to be looking to see it when you reach the lowest, and just stop it. i've never experienced losing that many patients right at the very beginning and we were all quite anxious about what we were going to face.

but none of us actually realised how... enormous it was going to be. i've had my first vaccine, i'm doing my second in a few weeks. i know that i'm vaccinated and i can protect my patients from catching it potentially from me. so that's obviously a big, big plus. we got you a present! it was a magic moment of the first lockdown. d—day veteran ken benbow used to sleep with a framed picture of his wife by his side. staff at his care home got a cushion with a picture on it so he could be closer to her. i've never left her go out of my arms. i take it to bed every night. and i said, watching television, she knows i am now in my arms as a lot of pleasure. i'll talk to her and

good morning from bbc london. people living in south london are continuing to be advised to take a covid—19 test after an outbreak of the south african variant. the government says it's the largest mass testing operation of its kind to date. the advice is for everyone over the age of 11 to have a test, even if they don't have symptoms. this affects people who live or who work in either wandsworth or lambeth. easter camps are proving popular this year with many reporting record bookings. it comes after a disrupted school year, which has seen many children studying at home. these parents who signed up for a scheme in east london say competition for places was fierce. we didn't get all the days we wanted, but we got enough of them. we watched very carefully to make sure that, you know, as soon as the booking opened, we booked. to have them experience and have | services outside of the home, has| brought so much relief to parents.

less crowded transport is the number one factor that would encourage more people to take buses and trains, according to a new survey. the research carried out by campaign for better transport found that 30% of those questioned said more personal space would encourage them to use the services. the other big issues was the price of tickets, better routes and more frequent services. the study also revealed private cars will remain the dominant form of transport for half of trips once covid restrictions are lifted. some of london's bridges were illuminated last night, as part of the latest art installation in the city. nine bridges along the thames, including blackfriars, waterloo, westminster and lambeth, have been transformed with led lights. at over three miles long, those behind it say it's the longest public art commission in the world. the lights will be on from dusk until 2am every evening. let's take a look at the travel situation now.

now the weather with gillian brown. hello there, good morning. well, another cold start to the day today across the capital. there are some misty, foggy patches out there, and the odd isolated shower too, under the thicker areas of cloud. but gradually through the morning we start to see that thin and break, and something a little bit brighter coming through into the afternoon. temperatures around 11, maybe 12 celsius. into the evening and overnight, there will be some cloud here and there, but gradually we will see something clearer come through into the early part of thursday. we can't rule out a shower as we look towards the beginning of thursday morning. again, those temperatures are going to fall away again tonight, struggling to get much above freezing. another cold start to the day tomorrow. again, high pressure is still with us as we look towards the weekend. you can see on the outlook there. temperatures gradually increasing

as we look towards the end of the week and the beginning of next week. temperatures in the mid—teens. that's the forecast for now. we'll keep you up—to—date. i'll see you soon. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning... charity shops are reporting record sales since they reopened — but some have stopped taking in donations after being inundated following lockdown clearouts. we'll have tips on how to de—clutter sensibly. with just 100 days to go until the olympics take place in tokyo, we're talking to the double gold medallists jadejones and max whitlock, to see how they're preparing for the games, which will feel rather different this year. and the postponed masterchef final is being screened tonight on bbc one — we're speaking to last year's winner thomas frake,

to see who has impressed him. two things about that. no spoilers. and also, it was notable, there they were last year with big hugs and the rest of it. none of that this year. what we need is a former masterchef finalist. ~ . the government insists the vaccine roll—out in the uk is on track, despite concerns about the side effects of some of the jabs. gp dr fari ahmad joins us from cheshire this morning, to talk more about this. good morning to you. we have hit a vaccine milestone. how important do you think, and how is that being reflected by yourself and in your place of work and with your colleagues as well? we

they're through to the semi—finals of the champions league. they let in a late goal against porto, but their first—leg lead was enough to take them through 2—1 on aggregate. but the holders bayern munich are out. 0ur sports correspondent katie gornall was watching. it's been seven years since chelsea last made it this far in the champions league. but now is their time to go all the way, according to their manager. thomas tuchel�*s side had reason to be confident. they began this game 2—0 up, already tantalisingly close to the semifinals. porto would have to strain every sinew to stop them. 0—0 at the break suited to chelsea just fine. travel restrictions meant this tie was played in seville, and chelsea didn't come here for excitement, or seemingly goals. it was porto who needed to attack, and eventually they emerged from hibernation. a wonder goal, but too late to turn the tie. it is real madrid or liverpool next for chelsea. the journey continues. so, chelsea through.

but look who is out — the holders bayern munich. despite scoring the only goal on the night in paris, it wasn't enough. mauricio pochettino's paris st germain advance in another twist on the road to istanbul. katie gornall, bbc news. it was an historic night for northern ireland. the team have qualified for the euros, theirfirst major tournament, beating ukraine 4—1 on aggregate in their play—off. leading 2—1 from the away leg, two more goals were added in belfast through captain marissa callaghan and nadene caldwell. the full—time whistle went sparking scenes of delirious joy as the players celebrated. an incredible achievement for a team made up mostly of part—timers. they only reformed to 17 years ago. it's unbelievable for the country. and, you know, there's going to be a ripple effect for years to come with us qualifying for the euros. so, it's absolutely unbelievable, and women's football in northern ireland can push on from here on in. and i would just say to any young girl watching tonight, i know the whole country was behind us, dreams really do come true.

england suffered a second friendly defeat in the space of four days, with a goalkeeping blunder contributing to a 2—0 loss to canada. the interim boss said individual mistakes led to their defeat. evelyne viens put the canadians ahead in stoke following a defensive error, but keeper karen bardsley was at fault when nichelle prince made it 2—0. england lost 3—1 to france last week. and wales came from a goal down to draw 1—1 at home to denmark — jess fishlock with the equaliser. yesterday we showed you ben stokes getting out for a dog in his first appearance of the season in the indian premier league. it has emerged he had a broken finger every time. he was injured while fielding for that match for rajasthan royals. he will miss the rest of the ipl season. but they have said he is going to stay out there and stay with his team, be part of it and be

involved, albeit with a broken finger. england fans might be interested to know that the next international fixture is against new zealand on the 2nd ofjune. he has got to be well by then. thank you.— got to be well by then. thank ou. ., ., , , , thank you. you have some big guests later, thank you. you have some big guests later. haven't — thank you. you have some big guests later, haven't you? _ later, haven't you? we have. it is 100 days since the start of the limbic. ii it we have. it is 100 days since the start of the limbic.— start of the limbic. if it still toes start of the limbic. if it still goes ahead! _ start of the limbic. if it still goes ahead! -- _ start of the limbic. if it still goes ahead! -- what i start of the limbic. if it still goes ahead! -- what the i start of the limbic. if it still. goes ahead! -- what the start start of the limbic. if it still- goes ahead! -- what the start of the goes ahead! —— what the start of the olympics. goes ahead! -- what the start of the gi mics. goes ahead! -- what the start of the olm-ics. goes ahead! -- what the start of the olmtics. ., olympics. hugh robertson from the british olympic— olympics. hugh robertson from the british olympic association, - olympics. hugh robertson from the british olympic association, max i british olympic association, max whitlock at half past eight. we are going to be talking optimistically about the other bits, because everybody is getting ready for it. i know there is a little bit of nervousness around it. but we are acting like it is going ahead because, as far as we know, it is. and all the athletes taking part are training as if it is happening. we spoke to adam peaty a few weeks ago and he said, in my head it is happening, i have to train for it. if they stop it a day before, they stop it a day before but i can't

this shop's open to customers, but not for donations yet, as they've got so much already. so there's no chance of getting rid of this lot today. i'm going to have to hold onto it, i think, yeah. our phone is constantly ringing, asking when we're taking donations, are we taking donations? it's just, i don't think our shop's big enough to take everything at the once. so that's why we've done our two days a week. with limited numbers allowed inside the store, sarah needs all the space possible for shoppers. from next week we've asked donors to come to the back door, where we'll take their donations. we all have our ppe on, so we're nice and safe. we just don't want to lose trade by them coming through the front door. the head of the charity retail association says shops up and down the country have been making different plans to safely receive a deluge of donations over the coming weeks. some of our members have actually been donated extra storage facilities.

people have been doing things like hiring vans and portakabins in theircar parks. so actually, the systems are all in place, and donors shouldn't be worried about that. the advice is to ring ahead, to check when and where you can drop donations. and there's one more caveat. be thoughtful about the sorts of stuff that you're taking. is this stuff that you would be prepared to buy in a different context yourself? that's what suzanne's been doing in hull. hi. nice to see you. she's coming down with stuff she's desperate to get rid of now. i've got a suitcase of clothes, shoes, badminton rackets and shuttlecocks. i've got one bottom and i've got three bikes, so i don't need three. i've heard that charity shops are quite full. and a lot of my stuff's quite nice. she's decided to try doing a car boot sale first, and then take anything left to a charity shop when they've more room. to have the space again, the space under my bed, space in my wardrobe, and to not have to keep going up into the loft and battle everything

as i go in and take it off. so, i'm excited that things might get in as a life, really. it's notjust those doing a clearout who've been desperate for charity shops to reopen. this last year has been really tough for so many households, with more redundancies, with squeezed incomes on furlough. buying online is simply too expensive for lots of people — having to buy the big brands, and having to pay delivery charges. so, seeing charity shops open up again is a lifeline for lots and lots of households. we need them. we can't get to places likejohn lewis and pay them prices any more. they're out of reach. you know, it's just not feasible, you know, to spend all that money. we have shopped in them before, and the kids get lots of games out of there, don't you? yeah _ lots of board games and stuff. it's good for them to be back open. it's been too long, hasn't it? sarah says just like the big high

area of high pressure in a clockwise direction. today we are pulling in a north—easterly breeze along the north sea coastline. today it will feel that bit cooler, with lower temperatures as well. for the rest of us, well, largely dry, some showers, a lot of them will be across parts of the north, the west and some in the south. in between there will be some sunshine and more cloud bubbling up through the course of the day, at times turning the sunshine hazy. light breezes away from the north sea coast. along the north sea coast, particularly the english bid, we are looking at temperatures of eight or nine. as we move away into the midlands and northern islands, western scotland, wales, tandrige is back up into double figures. through this evening and overnight many of the showers will fade. they will be clear skies, pockets of cloud, mist and fog. with temperatures falling below freezing or read about freezing, except for around the borders, there will be

some local frost. around the borders, there will be some localfrost. by around the borders, there will be some local frost. by the end of the night we will be reporting showers from the north sea into the south—eastern corner. tomorrow we will have those showers from lincolnshire into east anglia and the south—east, drifting west into the south—east, drifting west into the midlands, parts of central and southern england. as we move further west again, in the sunshine we will have the highest temperatures. on the north sea coastline it will be cooler, eight or 9 degrees. in due friday, high—pressure stealth ensconced across our shores. we are looking at another quiet day weather—wise. variable cloud. maybe the odd shower. later in the day you can see just in the corner of the chart we have got a weather front waiting to bring in some rain. that will bring some rain into the western isles as we go through the latter part of the afternoon. that looks very much like them as we head into the weekend, it is going to slip a little bit further south and east across scotland and northern ireland, may be as far south as northern england and north wales. keepin northern england and north wales. keep in touch with the forecast if

it comes after a disrupted school year, which has seen many children studying at home. these parents who signed up for a scheme in east london say competition for places is fierce. we didn't get all the days we wanted, but we got enough of them. we watched very carefully to make sure that, you know, as soon as the booking opened, we booked. to have them experience and have | services outside of the home, has| brought so much relief to parents. less crowded transport is the number one issue that would get more people on buses and trains, according to a new survey. the research carried out by the campaign for better transport found that 30% of those questioned said more personal space would encourage them onto public transport. the other big issues include the price of tickets, better routes and more frequent services. the study also found private cars will remain the dominant form of transport for half of trips once

covid restrictions are lifted. the last of the old routemaster buses have been taken out of service. the ten vintage hop—on — hop—off buses were running on the number 15 route from tower hill to trafalgar square. transport for london said they're not needed for the current customer demand and aren't compliant with the ultra low emission zone. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube — minor delays on tfl rail between hayes & harlington and paddington due to a faulty train. now the weather with gillian brown. hello there, good morning. well, another cold start to the day today across the capital. there are some misty, foggy patches out there, and the odd isolated shower too, under the thicker areas of cloud. but gradually through the morning we start to see that thin and break, and something a little bit brighter coming through into the afternoon. temperatures around 11, maybe 12 celsius. into the evening and overnight, there will be some cloud here and there, but gradually we will see something

clearer come through into the early part of thursday. we can't rule out a shower as we look towards the beginning of thursday morning. again, those temperatures are going to fall away again tonight, struggling to get much above freezing. another cold start to the day tomorrow. again, high pressure is still with us as we look towards the weekend. you can see on the outlook there. temperatures gradually increasing as we look towards the end of the week and the beginning of next week. temperatures in the mid—teens. that's the forecast for now. we'll keep you up—to—date. i'll see you soon. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: the government says the uk's vaccination

programme remains on track — afterjohnson and johnson suspends a planned rollout of its covid vaccine in the us and europe. pressure builds on david cameron as mp5 prepare to vote on a parliamentary inquiry into the former prime minister's lobbying. there's been more protests in the us state of minnesota — following the death of a black man who was shot by a police officer. scotland's internal travel ban will end on friday — but there's criticism from the tourism and hospitality industries, who say restrictions should have been lifted sooner. chelsea's impressive run under thomas tuchel continues. he takes them through to the semi—finals of the champions league for the first time in seven years. good morning from the roof of broadcasting house in london, where the sun is beating down, but it is a chilly start to the day, many of us having a dry day with a few showers in the west and south and a chilly breeze along the north sea

coastline. details coming up. good morning. it's wednesday april 14th. our top story. the department for health insists that its target to offer a covid vaccine to all adults in the uk by the end ofjuly remains on track, afterjohnson &johnson suspended a planned rollout of its jab in the us, south africa and europe. it follows reports of very rare blood clotting in some people who've had the jab in america. the uk's ordered 30 million doses of the vaccine, and the medical regulator says it'll evaluate safety reports robustly before approving its use. our medical editor fergus walsh reports. an abundance of caution was cited by us health officials as the reason why they paused the use of the single—shotjohnson & johnson covid jab. the vaccine, which in europe is branded as janssen, was approved in the us in late february. since then, there have been six incidents of very rare

clots in the brain out of 6.8 million doses. 50 less than one case per million people immunised. all were women under 50. one of them died and one is critically ill. i think this is an unusual occurrence of a serious adverse event that you want to make sure before you go forward. you investigate it thoroughly, and that's exactly what they're doing. they're pausing so that they can look at it more carefully. similar very rare clots have occurred with the oxford astrazeneca jab, and scientists are investigating whether this type of vaccine technology could be implicated. 30 million doses of thej&j janssen vaccine are on orderfor the uk, although it's yet to be approved. it's hoped the delay in the roll—out won't slow the vaccination drive here. these are the vaccines which are global workhorses of the vaccination programme. it's a lot of vaccine that

potentially might not be used. and i think that would be tragic because you're much, much more likely to have a severe adverse outcome if you catch covid. i mean, this is the thing which is much more likely to cause clots than than the vaccine. the biggest concern is globally. the plan was to immunise one billion people worldwide with the vaccine this year. if that's disrupted, it will slow efforts to finally bring the pandemic under control. fergus walsh, bbc news. a major uk trial looking at whether covid vaccines can be mixed is being expanded. combining different vaccines forfirst and second doses might give broader, longer—lasting immunity against the virus and new variants of it, and offer more flexibility to vaccine rollout. adults over 50 who have had a first dose of pfizer or astrazeneca can apply to take part in the study.

there will be a debate in parliament today to decide if there should be a full inquiry into the links between the former prime minister david cameron and the failed finance firm greensill capital. borisjohnson insists the independent inquiry he's ordered into mr cameron's lobbying will have carte blanche to talk to anyone. but labour says the review 'has all the hallmarks of a cover—up'. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. the actions of a former prime minister and those of current ministers. labour says they've brought the shadow of a scandal that parliament must investigate, or it fears the review borisjohnson has set up will be a whitehall whitewash. day by day, new revelations are coming out about greensill capital. we need a proper inquiry to get to the bottom of this, not the half—hearted inquiry that the government have announced so far. the latest revelations, that the former head of government

procurement began working part—time for greensill capital while he was still a civil servant. bill carruthers says his move in 2015 followed established procedure, was approved and he believes not uncommon. labour says the real questions are for the conservatives. how in 2011 the financier lex greensill became an unpaid advisor to the government. and his company hired david cameron, now out of office, who next year arranged a private drink with the matt hancock, the health secretary, and mr greensill. and last year he texted chancellor rishi sunak seeking access for greensill to government funds. mr cameron has said he broke no rules, mr hancock that he reported his meeting with greensill and acted properly.

the chancellor says he has been open too. he has released private texts he sent to mr cameron in which he says he pushed the treasury to help greensill, and the government says its inquiry can ask anybody whatever it needs. but labour insists what happened behind closed doors was cronyism, and an independent inquiry is needed. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. let's get more from adam fleming, whojoins us now. adam, we have talked about this over several days now, and this is not going away, is it? no, what is interesting about today as it is not a fight between labour and the government over the issue of lobbying, it is a fight between labour and the government about how you investigate the issue of lobbying. the government says the right thing to do is to set up this independent inquiry which is going to be run by a lawyer and which will look at all sorts of issues, whether it is lobbying, david cameron's

e—mails, the involvement of his company, greensill, in business, and it will report by the end ofjune. labour say wouldn't it be better to be more transparent, have a panel of members of parliament investigating and taking evidence from big names of people involved in public so that the public can see it. and that is what that point of the debate in parliament is today. we are still waiting to find out what the government's mps will do in this vote in the house of commons. normally on a labour proposal like this, they would abstain, and just not vote on it at all, not to give it the oxygen of publicity. if they do that, that means this committee of mps will be established and they will be a rival inquiry. if government mps vote against it, then guess what? labour will put loads of videos on twitter and advert saying, conservative mps are not in favour of transparency. or do the government try and amend it to try and make it go away? so it sounds very technical and procedural, but

it's an interesting little event in parliament today. and meanwhile, more and more examples and cases that raise concerns about the relationship between the government and the civil service and companies who make money emerge in the newspapers and in various investigations. i’m newspapers and in various investigations.— newspapers and in various investigations. newspapers and in various investi . ations. �* . �* ., investigations. i'm glad we've got ou investigations. i'm glad we've got you following _ investigations. i'm glad we've got you following it _ investigations. i'm glad we've got you following it for _ investigations. i'm glad we've got you following it for us, _ investigations. i'm glad we've got you following it for us, thank- investigations. i'm glad we've got you following it for us, thank you | you following it for us, thank you very much for bringing us up to date on the latest. protesters have clashed with police in minneapolis for the third night in a row — after a black man was shot dead on sunday. the policewoman who fatally shot daunte wright has resigned, along with the police chief. it comes as the trial of the officer accused of killing george floyd in the same city, begins hearing from defence witnesses. our north america correspondent barbara plett—usher reports. gunshot. for a third night police drove back protesters venting their anger over the shooting of another black man. hit in the chest by a policewoman who confused her gun with her taser, in the middle of the trial of the officer accused of killing george floyd.

do you know the difference between a gun and a taser? under pressure, the policewoman resigned. she was a 26—year veteran of the force. followed by the police chief. we are here and we will fight forjustice for this family, just like we are fighting for our brothers. george floyd's family has come together in solidarity with the relatives of the dead man, daunte wright. sharing their quest forjustice and their loss. i thought somebody was playing a joke on me. it hurt me to my heart. daunte was a beautiful child. he might not have been an angel, but he was our angel. our angel. he belonged to us.

inside the courtroom, the defence took over after the prosecution rested its case. more footage of george floyd from police body cameras was shown tojurors. the defence is arguing that it was a drug overdose which caused his death rather than excessive force by the officer who restrained him by kneeling on his neck. testimony is expected to wrap by the end of the week, and the jury will begin deliberations shortly after that. there is a lot at stake in what it decides. the authorities are bracing for the possibility of further unrest once there is a verdict. they were hoping that the resignation of the police officials would help to defuse the anger, but so far that has failed to stop the protests. barbara plett usher, bbc news, minneapolis. the queen has returned to royal duties four days after the death of the duke of edinburgh, to mark the retirement of her

across england, it will feel cooler if you are going for a stroll on the coastline. temperatures along the north sea coastline likely to be between eight and nine for most today. come in london we are looking at between ten and 13 degrees. as we head on through this evening and overnight, many showers will fade and they will be clear skies, again bits and pieces of cloud around, patchy fog and also locally a frost, because temperatures are going to be hovering just above or below freezing. by the end of the night we will be importing some showers from the netherlands across the south—east and east anglia, drifting further west through the course of the day. they will be slow—moving. out towards the west is where we will see the highest temperatures, 13 or 14 in the sunshine but again along the north sea coastline we are still looking at eight or nine, so feeling a bit nippy. we are kind of use to it, carol. see you later.

wanted, but we got enough of them. we watched very carefully to make sure that, you know, as soon as the booking opened, we booked. to have them experience and have | services outside of the home, has| brought so much relief to parents. less crowded transport is the number one issue that would get more people on buses and trains, according to a new survey. the research, carried out by the campaign for better transport, found that 30% of those questioned said more personal space would encourage them onto public transport. the study also found private cars will remain the dominant form of transport for half of trips once covid restrictions are lifted. some of london's bridges have been illuminated overnight as part of the latest art installation in the city. nine bridges along the thames, including blackfriars, waterloo, westminster and lambeth, have been transformed with led lights. at over three miles long, those behind it say it's the longest public art commission in the world.

let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, minor delays on tfl rail between hayes & harlington and paddington due to a faulty train. and there's the planned closure of the waterloo and city line on the trains, a reduced service on the heathrow express between london paddington and heathrow terminal 5 due to a broken down train. now the weather with gillian brown hello there, good morning. well, another cold start to the day today across the capital. there are some misty, foggy patches out there, and the odd isolated shower too, under the thicker areas of cloud. but gradually through the morning we start to see that thin and break, and something a little bit brighter coming through into the afternoon. temperatures around 11, maybe 12 celsius. into the evening and overnight, there will be some cloud here and there, but gradually we will see something clearer come through into the early part of thursday. we can't rule out a shower as we look towards the beginning of thursday morning. again, those temperatures

are going to fall away again tonight, struggling to get much above freezing. another cold start to the day tomorrow. again, high pressure is still with us as we look towards the weekend. you can see on the outlook there. temperatures gradually increasing as we look towards the end of the week and the beginning of next week. temperatures in the mid—teens. that's the forecast for now. we'll keep you up—to—date. i'll see you soon. i'm back in an hour. now it's back to dan and louise. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it has just it hasjust gone it has just gone have burst seven. if you are into your football, you might have seen two cracking games in the champions league last night. sally is here to discuss that and more. ., , ., , ., ., ., ~ more. the champions league look really good — more. the champions league look really good and — more. the champions league look really good and exciting _ more. the champions league look really good and exciting at - more. the champions league look really good and exciting at the - really good and exciting at the moment. chelsea are through to the semi—finals of the champions league for the first time in seven years, after beating porto

2—1 on aggregate. they led 2—0 from the first leg, and there was a bit of a scare when mehdi taremi scored a stunning goalfor porto deep into injury time. but it's chelsea who'll now face either liverpool or real madrid. northern ireland's women have made history, reaching their first major finals. they beat ukraine 4—1 overall, nadene caldwell making sure of the victory in belfast — a huge achievement for a side of mainly part—time players. the countdown to the tokyo olympics begins today and the organisers insist the games will go ahead without fans from overseas. but with a worsening covid situation injapan, and little public support for the games, things aren't easy. and that makes life very hard for the people managing team gb, including the chairman of the british olympic association sir hugh robertson, whojoins us now. good morning to you. you said at the beginning of this year you were very

football fans will be able to attend this month's carabao cup final, but a decision to bar extremely clinically vulnerable supporters has been condemned by disability groups. tottenham face manchester city at wembley, and both teams will be allocated 2,000 tickets as part of a government—led pilot for the safe return of crowds at big events. there'll be a further 4,000 seats for nhs staff and local residents. to get into wembley, fans must take lateral flow coronavirus tests at a designated site 2a hours before the game. but under 18s, and people who are clinically extremely vulnerable or pregnant, have been told not to apply for tickets. a tottenham disabled fans' group has called the move "direct discrimination". let's speak now to tony taylor, from the level playing field charity, which campaigns for disabled sports fans to freely access and enjoy live sport. tony, really good to talk to you. we mentioned they are the thoughts of titan and's disabled fans group. what is your reaction to that news? i think we very much a share that

for the clinically extremely vulnerable to attend such pilot events and potentially be put at a greater risk of transmission. how do you react to that?— you react to that? well, i don't buy that argument. _ you react to that? well, i don't buy that argument, quite _ you react to that? well, i don't buy that argument, quite frankly. - you react to that? well, i don't buy that argument, quite frankly. i've i that argument, quite frankly. i've seen _ that argument, quite frankly. i've seen plenty of other evidence that argues _ seen plenty of other evidence that argues the very opposite. that because — argues the very opposite. that because of the serious efforts they have made over the past year, the clinically— have made over the past year, the clinically extremely vulnerable are probably _ clinically extremely vulnerable are probably the safest group to be attending those events. so i don't buy that — attending those events. so i don't buy that it— attending those events. so i don't buy that. it leaves a bit of a sour taste _ buy that. it leaves a bit of a sour taste that — buy that. it leaves a bit of a sour taste that covid can be used as an excuse _ taste that covid can be used as an excuse to— taste that covid can be used as an excuse to undertake what is essentially pretty much a discriminatory action. essentially pretty much a discriminato action. . ., discriminatory action. have you made representation _ discriminatory action. have you made representation to _ discriminatory action. have you made representation to the _ discriminatory action. have you made representation to the department - discriminatory action. have you made representation to the department of| representation to the department of culture, media and sport? hate culture, media and sport? we certainly have. and we will continue to do— certainly have. and we will continue to do so _ certainly have. and we will continue to do so. and i hope they will change — to do so. and i hope they will change the policy. but i really was quite _ change the policy. but i really was quite shocked when this decision was

showers developed through the day. high pressure is firmly in charge of the weather. the air around it moves in a clockwise direction. along the north sea coastline, particularly across england today, there is an onshore breeze. salt that will peg back the temperatures. but generally speaking, there is a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine. fair cloud developing through the day and showers continuing in western and southern areas. in between there will be some sunny skies. and because there are light breezes, the showers will be slow moving. temperature wise along the north sea coastline of england in particular we are looking at eight or 9 degrees. in the sunshine we are looking at between ten and 30 degrees. this evening at overnight the showers will fade rapidly, the temperature will fall rapidly under clear skies. there will be bits and pieces of cloud left, mist and fog patches forming but not widely, and locally there will be some frost. temperatures falling below freezing for some and staying just above

freezing for others. hence the local frost. by the end of the night we will see some showers in eastern areas. and tomorrow, from lincolnshire into east anglia, the south—east will start off with some showers drifting into the midlands and central and southern england through the day. some of them will merge. the brighter skies, and the highest temperatures, will be in the west, where we could see between 12 and 1a degrees. iii west, where we could see between 12 and 1a degrees. 1a in glasgow. still cold along the north sea coastline. for friday, high pressure still in charge. we start off on a cold note. cloud developing through the day. you can just see some rain cloud developing through the day. you canjust see some rain edging in. that will reach the western isles later in the day. temps might still roughly where they should be at this time of the year. it is at the weekend it looks as if we are going to see that rain moving across northern ireland, scotland, possibly a little bit further south as well. thank you, carol. see

good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. with dan walker and louise minchin. the government says the uk's vaccination programme remains on track afterjohnson &johnson suspends a planned roll—out of its covid vaccine in the us and europe. pressure builds on david cameron as mp5 prepare to vote on a parliamentary inquiry into the former prime minister's lobbying. there's been more protests in the us state of minnesota following the death of a black man who was shot by a police officer. the uk vaccine roll—out wouldn't have been as successful without brexit.

the view of sirjames dyson speaking exclusively to breafast about leaving the eu, jobs here and abroad, and who does the vacuuming at home. it's1oo days to go until the start of the olympics. organisers are confident that tokyo 2020 will go ahead, but say it will be a games like no other. good morning from the roof of broadcasting house in london. a chilly start to the day, but for most of us there is a fair bit of sunshine and the forecast, with some showers in the west and south, and a chilly breeze along the north sea coastline. all the details in about ten minutes. it's wednesday april 14th. our top story. the department of health insists that its target to offer a covid vaccine to all adults in the uk by the end ofjuly remains on track, afterjohnson and johnson suspended a planned roll—out of its jab in the us, south africa and europe. it follows reports of very rare blood clotting in some people who've had the jab in america. the uk's ordered 30 million doses of the vaccine,

and the medical regulator says it'll evaluate safety reports robustly before approving its use. our medical editor fergus walsh reports. an abundance of caution was cited by us health officials as the reason why they paused the use of the single—shotjohnson & johnson covid jab. the vaccine, which in europe is branded as janssen, was approved in the us in late february. since then, there have been six incidents of very rare clots in the brain out of 6.8 million doses. so less than one case per million people immunised. all were women under 50. one of them died and one is critically ill. i think this is an unusual occurrence of a serious adverse event that you want to make sure before you go forward. you investigate it thoroughly, and that's exactly what they're doing. they're pausing so that they can look at it more carefully. similar very rare clots have occurred with the oxford astrazeneca jab, and scientists

are investigating whether this type of vaccine technology could be implicated. 30 million doses of thej&j janssen vaccine are on orderfor the uk, although it's yet to be approved. it's hoped the delay in the roll—out won't slow the vaccination drive here. these are the vaccines which are global workhorses of the vaccination programme. it's a lot of vaccine that potentially might not be used. and i think that would be tragic because you're much, much more likely to have a severe adverse outcome if you catch covid. i mean, this is the thing which is much more likely to cause clots than than the vaccine. the biggest concern is globally. the plan was to immunise one billion people worldwide with the vaccine this year. if that's disrupted, it will slow efforts to finally bring the pandemic under control. fergus walsh, bbc news.

there will be a debate in parliament today to decide if they should be a full inquiry inquiry into the links between the former prime minister david cameron and the failed finance firm greensill capital. borisjohnson insists the independent inquiry he's ordered into mr cameron's lobbying will have carte blanche to talk to anyone. but labour says the review has all the hallmarks of a cover—up. in 2011, the financier lex greensill became an unpaid adviser in david cameron's government. in 2018, his firm was given work linked to nhs payments. his company then hired david cameron — two years after he left downing street. the next year, cameron arranged a private drink with health secretary matt hancock, and lex greensill. last year he texted the chancellor, rishi sunak, to request access to government covid funds for greensill. those are some of the key dates.

protesters have clashed with police in minneapolis for the third night in a row — after a black man was shot dead on sunday. the policewoman who fatally shot daunte wright has resigned — along with the police chief. it comes as the trial of the officer accused of killing george floyd in the same city, begins hearing from defence witnesses. our north america correspondent barbara plett usher reports. gunshot. for a third night police drove back protesters venting their anger over the shooting of another black man. hit in the chest by a policewoman who confused her gun with her taser, in the middle of the trial of the officer accused of killing george floyd. do you know the difference between a gun and a taser? under pressure, the policewoman resigned. she was a 26—year veteran of the force. she was followed by the police chief. we are here and we will fight forjustice for this family, just like we are fighting for our brothers. george floyd's family has come together in solidarity

with the relatives of the dead man, daunte wright. sharing their quest forjustice and their loss. i thought somebody was playing a joke on me. it hurt me to my heart. daunte was a beautiful child. he might not have been an angel, but he was our angel. our angel. he belonged to us. inside the courtroom, the defence took over after the prosecution rested its case. more footage of george floyd from police body cameras was shown tojurors. the defence is arguing that it was a drug overdose which caused his death rather than excessive force by the officer who restrained him by kneeling on his neck. testimony is expected to wrap by the end of the week,

and the jury will begin deliberations shortly after that. there is a lot at stake in what it decides. the authorities are bracing for the possibility of further unrest once there is a verdict. they were hoping that the resignation of the police officials would help to defuse the anger, but so far that has failed to stop the protests. barbara plett usher, bbc news, minneapolis. the queen has returned to royal duties, four days after the death of the duke of edinburgh, to mark the retirement of her household's most senior official. the monarch held her first in—person event to host a ceremony at windsor as william peel formally stood down as lord chamberlain. the earl had overseen the arrangements for the duke's funeral. it is fast approaching ten past eight. it is wednesday morning. thank you for being with us today.

we will hopefully bring you some hot air balloon footage, john maguire is there, and it is lovely weather for it, isn't it, carol? it there, and it is lovely weather for it, isn't it, carol?— it, isn't it, carol? it is beautiful, _ it, isn't it, carol? it is beautiful, what - it, isn't it, carol? it is beautiful, what a - it, isn't it, carol? it is | beautiful, what a lovely it, isn't it, carol? it is - beautiful, what a lovely start to the day, it is chilly, but the forecast for today is mainly dry with sunny spells, and i say mainly dry because there are still showers in the forecast, especially so in the west and the south. we won't all see them, but the light breezes will be slow—moving if you do catch one, but in between there will still be sunshine and a little fair weather cloud building up as we go through the course of the day. the other thing of note is along the north sea coastline, we have got an onshore breeze, so here it will feel cooler if you are out and about. temperatures here are eight or 9 degrees, but move inland into the sunshine and we are looking at between ten and 13 degrees. through this evening and overnight, temperatures will fall away quite rapidly under clear skies. the

showers will fade as well, and some of us will see a touch of frost and some patchy mist and fog. temperature wise, we are hovering just above orjust below temperature wise, we are hovering just above or just below freezing. the lowest temperature around the borders of england and scotland at minus four degrees, and by the end of the night we will see showers coming in across the south—east. tomorrow they will extend from lincolnshire into east anglia and the south—east, pushing westwards towards the midlands and central and southern england through the day, and again in between there will be bright spells, but they will be slow—moving and some will merge. the highest temperatures will be in the sunshine towards the west where we could well see 1a degrees, but again tomorrow it will be chilly along the north sea coastline. thank you, carol, see you later on. thank you, carol, see you later on. thank you. the government says its target to offer the first vaccine to all adults in the uk by the end ofjuly is still on track — despite concerns

about rare blood clots. it comes after the usa, eu and south africa paused the use of the johnson and johnson jab. the uk has ordered 30 million doses of the vaccine, but it has yet to be approved for use here. a number of countries have already restricted the use of the astrazeneca jab after similar reports of clots. professor anthony harnden is the deputy chair of thejoint committee on vaccines and immunisation, hejoins us now. thank you forjoining us. let's talk about what is going on with this johnson &johnsonjab. what about what is going on with this johnson &johnson jab. what can you tell us about these rare blood clots? ~ ., ~' , tell us about these rare blood clots? ~ ., ~ , clots? we need to keep careful review of this _ clots? we need to keep careful review of this us _ clots? we need to keep careful review of this us situation. - clots? we need to keep carefull review of this us situation. they found six of this very unusual thrombosis associated with low platelets in the united states amongst 6.8 million doses, so we must keep this in context. clearly they will look for more cases and see if they can find a link between those cases and the actual vaccine. the problem is that the vaccine, the johnson &johnson vaccine is the

same viral vector platform vaccine is the oxford astrazeneca, and we know we are seeing some safety signals in relation to the oxford astrazeneca vaccine in this country, which is why, although they are incredibly rare, we have advised that those under 30 is receive the choice of an alternative vaccine. and the reason for that is because of the risk—benefit. what we want to do is to make sure that the benefits of the vaccines are far outweigh any risks. the risks from covid and complications is much greater the older you get, and certainly in those that we are vaccinating at the moment, those above the age of a5, moment, those above the age of as, the risk from covid is far greater than any small potential risk of the vaccine, so these are the judgments we are having to make in thejcvi at the moment. find we are having to make in the jcvi at the moment-— we are having to make in the jcvi at the moment. �* ~ ., .

should there in mind? i the moment, what do you think people should there in mind?— should there in mind? i think he is riuht. should there in mind? i think he is right- both — should there in mind? i think he is right. both vaccination _ should there in mind? i think he is right. both vaccination and - should there in mind? i think he is l right. both vaccination and lockdown have been really important, and i think he is probably concerned, as i am, about the scenes in london that we saw for instance of people enjoying the outside of pubs and the crowded spaces. of course what that will do is push infection rates up, so every time that we unlock lockdown, we push infection rates up, and the danger is that we get much more transmission in the community, and of course with these new variant strange such as the south african strains, we don't want that to become prevalent in this country because the vaccines don't work quite as well. so i think he is trying to be cautious for everybody. we all want to get our lives back and enjoy ourselves again, but we must be cautious and do this slowly, otherwise we will go back to square one. 50 otherwise we will go back to square one. , .,, ., . otherwise we will go back to square one. , ., . .,

and in northern ireland it's 63 per cent. for many people, the vaccine is a symbol of optimism and hope — that things might soon be able to return to normal. here on breakfast, we've been following the roll—out from the very beginning. graham satchell has been speaking to some of the people we've met along the way — to find out what getting the jab means to them. you can see in the smile what it means to be vaccinated. nhs staff, the most clinically vulnerable, everyone over the age of 50, all top nine priority groups, 32 million people. it is a remarkable national effort that has changed people's lives. the last year has been it's been scary, i'll admit that, it's been really scary. it's also been it's been a very anxious time of my life. and yeah, my mental health did did decline. and i had a really bad episode sort of summer last year, but feeling much better now, and yeah. it's been a tough year for ellem, not being able to see her family

ellem has brittle asthma and has been shielding, but now she's fully vaccinated. it sounds really cheesy. it feels like a lifeline. it feels like there's hope now being able to see that my friends and family especially say i've got two lovely nephews have been able to actually see them. and that's it's made a world of a difference. i'm a critical care nurse, i've just finished 48 hours of work. ijust wanted to get some stuff in for the next 48 hours. this was dawn bilborough at the start of the pandemic. exhausted and frustrated that people were stockpiling food, leaving her nothing. people like me are going to be looking after you when you reach the lowest, and just stop it. i've never experienced losing that many patients right at the very beginning and we were all quite anxious about what we were going to face. but none of us actually realised how... enormous it was going to be.

i've had my first vaccine, i'm doing my second in a few weeks. i know that i'm vaccinated and i can protect my patients from catching it potentially from me. so that's obviously a big, big plus. we got you a present! it was a magic moment of the first lockdown. d—day veteran ken benbow used to sleep with a framed picture of his wife by his side. staff at his care home got a cushion with a picture on it so he could be closer to her. i've never left her go out of my arms. i take it to bed every night.

and i sit watching television, she's in my arms as a lot of pleasure. i'll talk to her and she puts me straight. ken has also now been fully vaccinated. he's looking forward to his first pint in more than a year. i've got my friend steve and lisa, my best two best friends. they're taking me to the pub. i feel now that i can go anywhere and do anything i can't wait to get out there. the next phase of the vaccination programme has already started, with people over 45 getting jabbed. the government says it's on target for all adults to have had a first dose by the end ofjuly. graham satchell, bbc news. it's lovely to see some of our old friends here on breakfast. that felt like a bit of a catch up! that friends here on breakfast. that felt like a bit of a catch up!— like a bit of a catch up! that is brilliant. there can only be a handful of big bosses so famous you only need to know their last name.

sirjames dyson is one of them though. nina's been to meet the inventor and businessman for us. nina — what did he have to say? sirjames dyson is hiring. as you say one of the most famous business owners in britain. his vacuums, hair and hand dryers are credited with making life easierfor millions. but he also caused controversy when he moved his manufacturing abroad. he was also an advocate of brexit because — he said — he's a global thinker. but what does that mean forjobs here? yesterday i had an exclusive snoop around his top secret site in wiltshire. it is quite a conservative haircut, it is not a particularly artistic one. you don't think so? the great lockdown level, how is the home haircut? james dyson carried on working through lockdown. it is the first time cameras have been allowed inside this lab. the focus here, making batteries. it is top secret what is going

in the cake, the ingredients? the problem with the moment is they have a liquid electrolyte which has a transfer from the anode to the cathode, and that causes all sorts of problems. to me and you, batteries need to work longer for less energy. get that right, and change the world forever. he has made robots which learn how to clean your house. can it drop the kids off at school? that is your next challenge! hairbrushes which are which optimise heat against damp. and then you just pull it out and you've got the thing. and on this site, there are 4000 jobs in invention, and the dyson institute, an in—house university. today, 200 morejobs announced. but people will say, despite this addition, 4000 out of 1a,ooo jobs globally are here in the uk. is dyson still british? britain is very inventive, we are very inventive engineers here, so this is a really important part of what we do. we have research in america, injapan and singapore,

malaysia and the philippines. you were optimistic about brexit because the vision for many who were optimists was freedom from the shackles of the eu. you are in a unique position reputation lead to make your supply chain here in the uk, and yet you don't. ~ , ., . don't. we used to manufacture here, but suppliers — don't. we used to manufacture here, but suppliers here _ don't. we used to manufacture here, but suppliers here didn't _ don't. we used to manufacture here, but suppliers here didn't want - don't. we used to manufacture here, but suppliers here didn't want to i but suppliers here didn't want to expand, so we were forced to go abroad to find suppliers. and expand, so we were forced to go abroad to find suppliers. and the exit vision for _ abroad to find suppliers. and the exit vision for many _ abroad to find suppliers. and the exit vision for many who - abroad to find suppliers. and the exit vision for many who were i exit vision for many who were optimists was freedom of shackles from the eu. was it compromised to the point of pleasing nobody, the deal in the end? i don't think so. we have got our freedom, we can make trade agreements with other countries outside europe, that europe can't make free trade agreements with. and i think much more than that, it gives us an independence of spirit, and that couldn't be better demonstrated than in the development of the vaccine. we weren't part of the european development of the vaccine, we had to develop our own, they did it brilliantly at oxford,

and astrazeneca, british company, took that up and produce it. had we been part of the eu, you don't believe the vaccine roll—out would have been as successful as it has been? i don't believe it would, i don't think anybody does. when covid struck, dyson were asked to build a ventilator in the space of six weeks. 400 staff worked day and night, and they did it. in the end it wasn't needed, but the expense on that is nothing compared to james's foray into electric cars. what was that day like with the car where you thought, i've put half a billion pounds of my own money into this, but i'm going to have to call it a day. what is that like? it is awful for everybody involved. never mind the money, it is the people. but mistakes matter, and james says there is no such thing as a genius inventor, just a team willing to keep going. and is it basically trial and error? take that bit out, put that bit

income if that works better, keep swapping the ingredients? it is a bit like that, but that golden rule of development is you only make one change at a time, that is why it is so painstaking. that is why i had 5500 prototypes for my vacuum cleaner. so that eureka moment is a fallacy? it is a complete fallacy. at the end, you get there, and it works. so is it never over, basically, you're always thinking about the next thing? it is a life of total dissatisfaction! billions of pounds in annual revenue, a product made every 1.26 seconds, but the big question... who does the vacuuming at your house? i must confess i don't do all of it, but my mother made me vacuum at home, and i do it out of professional interest as well as to tidy the house, so i do a little bit but not all of it. his mum also told him not to study art design, but that didn't turn out so bad.

there you go, don't always listen to your mum. unless you are my kids, of course! james dyson said, he is the sixth biggest taxpayer in the uk, puts £2 billion into the site in wiltshire, and it really brings into question what it means to be a british firm on a global economy. he also talks about prince philip who gave him an engineering award, and he said every time they met up, he remembered the last conversation and he wanted the lowdown on the latest robots. i love the snippets of information that we are getting on the duke don't you? taste information that we are getting on the duke don't you?— information that we are getting on the duke don't you? we are learning more about — the duke don't you? we are learning more about him _ the duke don't you? we are learning more about him since _ the duke don't you? we are learning more about him since the _ the duke don't you? we are learning more about him since the days i the duke don't you? we are learning more about him since the days since i more about him since the days since he has died. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. people living in south london are continuing to be advised to take a covid—19 test, after an outbreak of the south african variant. the government says it's the largest

mass testing operation of its kind to date. the advice is for everyone over the age of 11 to have a test, even if they don't have symptoms. this affects people who live or work in either wandsworth or lambeth. holiday clubs are proving popular this year with many reporting record bookings. it comes after a disrupted school year, which has seen many children studying at home. these parents who signed up for a scheme in east london say competition for places is fierce. we didn't get all the days we wanted, but we got enough of them. we watched very carefully to make sure that, you know, as soon as the booking opened, we booked. to have them experience and have | services outside of the home, has| brought so much relief to parents. less crowded transport is the number one issue that would get more people on buses and trains, according to a new survey. the research, carried out by the campaign for better transport, found that 30% of those questioned said more personal space would encourage them

onto public transport. the study also found private cars will remain the dominant form of transport for half of trips once covid restrictions are lifted. some of london's bridges have been illuminated overnight as part of the latest art installation in the city. nine bridges along the thames, including blackfriars, waterloo, westminster and lambeth, have been transformed. at over three miles long, those behind the project say it's the longest public art commission in the world. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there are severe delays on tfl between hayes & harlington and paddington due to a faulty train. on the trains, reduced services on the heathrow express between london paddington and heathrow terminal 5 due to a broken down train. delays of up to 20 minutes on great western railway between paddington and slough due to a broken down train. now the weather with gillian brown. hello there, good morning. well, another cold start to the day today across the capital. there are some misty,

foggy patches out there, and the odd isolated shower too, under the thicker areas of cloud. but gradually through the morning we start to see that thin and break, and something a little bit brighter coming through into the afternoon. temperatures around 11, maybe 12 celsius. into the evening and overnight, there will be some cloud here and there, but gradually we will see something clearer come through into the early part of thursday. we can't rule out a shower as we look towards the beginning of thursday morning. again, those temperatures are going to fall away again tonight, struggling to get much above freezing. another cold start to the day tomorrow. again, high pressure is still with us as we look towards the weekend. you can see on the outlook there. temperatures gradually increasing as we look towards the end of the week and the beginning of next week. temperatures in the mid—teens. that's the forecast for now. we'll keep you up—to—date. i'll see you soon. i'm back in hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address.

bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one. let's find out what's on today's show with kym and rav. good morning. no gethin today. he lives in an area that's one of the latest to be affected by the surge testing, so he's at home awaiting his results. but here to keep me company is the brilliant rav wilding. and we have lots coming up, don't we, rav? we do indeed. dr rupy aujla is here to unpack today's health i headlines, and he'll also be telling us why it's these surge tests — along with the vaccine — - that could be the key to getting us back to normality. _ also today, we're talking ppe. a staggering seven out of ten female health care workers claim it doesn't fit and makes them feel unsafe, including our very own dr punam. today, she investigates if women fighting on the front line have been forgotten. and one man who knows| the importance of a good

fitting garment is star of the great british sewing bee's patrick grant. i after working at the i tailors that made suits for prince philip, he tells us why the duke was a big fanj of sustainable fashion. and many of you will be looking forward to tonight's grand final of masterchef. today we're joined by the three finalists, mike, alexina and tom. they'll be telling us about theirjourney so far, as well as revealing how you can make a restaurant quality meal from the comfort of your own kitchen. and bringing some strictly sparkle to the show - is janette manrara. she's got a mid—body work out that apparently i'm joining in with! i see you at a quarter past nine. see you at a quarter past ninem see you at a quarter past nine. it is see you at a quarter past nine. is always nice to find out like that, isn't it?! i is always nice to find out like that, isn't it?!— is always nice to find out like that, isn't it?! i am sure you will be fine. that, isn't it?! i am sure you will be fine- see _ that, isn't it?! i am sure you will be fine. see you _ that, isn't it?! i am sure you will be fine. see you later. _ many of us will have had a good old clearout during lockdown, and are now able to take that stuff to the charity shop. but some shops have stopped accepting donations because of the sheer volume of stuff coming into them. but it's not all bad news — other stores in england are reporting record sales

in their first days after reopening. our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has been checking out the stock. the long lockdown winter months have been a chance for a clearout. but what to do with all this stuff? there's clothes... ..jumpers — all sorts! this shop's open to customers, but not for donations yet, as they've got so much already. so there's no chance of getting rid of this lot today. i'm going to have to hold onto it, i think, yeah. our phone is constantly ringing, asking when we're taking donations, are we taking donations? it's just, i don't think our shop's big enough to take everything at the once. so that's why we've done our two days a week. with limited numbers allowed inside the store, sarah needs all the space possible for shoppers. from next week we've asked donors to come to the back door, where we'll take their donations. we all have our ppe on,

so we're nice and safe. we just don't want to lose trade by them coming through the front door. the head of the charity retail association says shops up and down the country have been making different plans to safely receive a deluge of donations over the coming weeks. some of our members have actually been donated extra storage facilities. people have been doing things like hiring vans and portakabins in theircar parks. so actually, the systems are all in place, and donors shouldn't be worried about that. the advice is to ring ahead, to check when and where you can drop donations. and there's one more caveat. be thoughtful about the sorts of stuff that you're taking. is this stuff that you would be prepared to buy in a different context yourself? that's what suzanne's been doing in hull. hi. nice to see you. she's coming down with stuff she's desperate to get rid of now. i've got a suitcase of clothes, shoes, badminton rackets and shuttlecocks.

i've got one bottom and i've got three bikes, so i don't need three. i've heard that charity shops are quite full. and a lot of my stuff�*s quite nice. she's decided to try doing a car boot sale first, and then take anything left to a charity shop when they've more room. to have the space again, the space under my bed, space in my wardrobe, and to not have to keep going up into the loft and battle everything as i go in and take it off. so, i'm excited that things might get another life, really. it's notjust those doing a clearout who've been desperate for charity shops to reopen. this last year has been really tough for so many households, with more redundancies, with squeezed incomes on furlough. buying online is simply too expensive for lots of people — having to buy the big brands, and having to pay delivery charges. so, seeing charity shops open up again is a lifeline for lots and lots of households. we need them. we can't get to places likejohn lewis and pay them prices any more.

they're out of reach. you know, it's just not feasible, you know, to spend all that money. we have shopped in them before, and the kids get lots of games out of there, don't you? yeah _ lots of board games and stuff. it's good for them to be back open. it's been too long, hasn't it? sarah says just like the big high street names, they've seen a real rush of shoppers. we were like a miniature version. there was a lady at the door before we'd opened, nine o'clock, waiting to come in with her two children. and we had queues throughout the day. we had to have somebody at the door to, you know, keep it flowing, keep it at, you know, maximum numbers. and it was great, it was just great. who needs primark anyway?! with storerooms bursting at the seams, shoppers can cash in on the windfall. colletta smith, bbc news.

my my favourite thing i ever bought in a charity shop, a set of weights. i waited until that post—christmas when everybody doesn't want it any more. then i went in there. we've been asking you to send in your photos this morning of bargains you've picked up in charity shops. let's take a look. some funky dog de mart is there. picked up by silvana. £12, they cost. they cost. claudis says she bought this jug on monday morning as the charity shops open. she said it was a steal at 50p. chris porter this necklace for a £3 5020 years ago. —— bought this necklace. the quote was, i didn't really like it but the shop assistant didn't want to get it out of the window. she threw it in her handbag. it turned out to be platinum. hold on a minute! took a
