the government says it's updated its guidance in light of the success of the vaccination programme, and falling cora navirus infection rates. campaigners had threatened legal action, arguing that residents�* human rights were being breached. here's our social affairs correspondent alison holt. ca re care homes have felt the full force of covid—i9, but now, with most residents vaccinated and infections falling in the community, there has been increasing anger over government restrictions families call barbaric. if residents leave a care home, even if it isjust for a walk, they are expected to self isolate for 14 days when they return. the government says that will now change, to the relief of campaigners. i will now change, to the relief of campaigners-— will now change, to the relief of campaigners. i think this guidance was alwa s campaigners. i think this guidance was always so _ campaigners. i think this guidance was always so bizarre, _ campaigners. i think this guidance was always so bizarre, so - campaigners. i think this guidance was always so bizarre, so cruel. campaigners. i think this guidance | was always so bizarre, so cruel and so discriminatory. i mean, it was illegally imprisoning people in care homes. it was depriving them of

6:04 am
event yesterday? yes, yesterday morning i was outside at warehouse at bramley moore dock. it was all closed off, ready for action. everybody who arrived at that gig yesterday afternoon had to prove that they had a negative covid test before they were able to gain entry. it was one very important condition. this is one of the test centres people will be coming to today as well, ahead of the gig this afternoon. that is the second one, as you say, but boy slim headlining last night. —— fatboy slim. what scenes, we have never seen them in more than a year, people mixing together, yes, there was a mosh pit. people together, dancing, enjoying themselves, but in a safe way, because the whole idea is to try to
6:05 am
ensure events like that can happen again as we move along the road map out of lockdown. it is all part of a very unique, very special scientific experiment, the air quality, the way people mingle, the impact on people who are at the event yesterday, and a miniature festival at sefton park tomorrow, but will all be carefully monitored to ensure that big events can happen again, notjust here in liverpool but right across the country. back to you. families in israel have begun burying their loved ones after at least 45 people died in a crush at a crowded funerals have been allowed for victims who were positively identified after the tragedy that left another 150 people injured. prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who visited mount meron where the accident took place, has promised an inquiry into what happened. detectives investigating the murder of a police community support officer say they have no clear suspects in the case.

6:09 am
to have said that a lot of the time they are under pressure not to report doubts because it will put the government in an embarrassing spot even further, and experts say the number of infected cases could be over 20 times what we see right now. we have seen the unprecedented rush to hospitals, leading to an acute shortage of oxygen, beds and essential medicines, and this even as global aid is pouring in in this past week. what is also worrying is that a lot of young people have been affected i was speaking to a biologist who said that this wave of coronavirus is deadly. she also pointed out that people who are below the age of a0 are more at risk, and uc fraternities in that age group which is quite worrying. india has also opened up its vaccination drive to people above the age of 18 years to save as many as possible, but only six states are going ahead today because there is a vaccine shortage that has been reported by others.—
6:10 am
vaccine shortage that has been reported by others. thank you very much. let's have a look at today's papers. the mail's front page focuses on its campaign to help build a memorial in st paul's cathedral to honour those who have died with coronavirus. "here we go!" declares the daily express. it says borisjohnson is due to reveal the traffic light system for travel abroad. it's thought only a handful of countries will be on the green list, meaning you won't have to quarantine when arriving in the uk. while the times reports that people could be allowed to hug friends and family from 17th may, if ministers approve additional easing of restrictions. and the most read story on the bbc website is the discovery of a giant fatberg clogging a sewer in birmingham. it's thought to weigh about 300 tonnes and could take a month to clear.
6:11 am
it reminds me about fatberg discovered in london not so long ago. i discovered in london not so long auo. discovered in london not so long a a 0. ., , discovered in london not so long auo. , ago. i find those absolutely fascinating. _ ago. i find those absolutely fascinating. it _ ago. i find those absolutely fascinating. it is _ ago. i find those absolutely fascinating. it is very - ago. i find those absolutely fascinating. it is very clear| fascinating. it is very clear indication, if you're one of those people and i think maybe we have all done it from time to time, you put something down the sink that you shouldn't, that is where it ends up. if it comes out of their own drain, it will end up somewhere and just cause a problem in the system. what cause a problem in the system. what have we got? — cause a problem in the system. what have we got? well, _ cause a problem in the system. what have we got? well, we're _ cause a problem in the system. what have we got? well, we're talking - cause a problem in the system. what have we got? well, we're talking a i have we got? well, we're talking a moment ago. _ have we got? well, we're talking a moment ago, the _ have we got? well, we're talking a moment ago, the papers _ have we got? well, we're talking a moment ago, the papers are - have we got? well, we're talking a - moment ago, the papers are reporting this morning, as of last night, the way the chart and works is that you get to his number one in the charts on a friday night, and sir tom jones has smashed the record set by bob dylan to become the oldest mail to top the uk album charts. so congratulations to him. he is 80 years old. 80 years and ten months,

apparently. it is quite an achievement. the new album is out. we were very lucky because, on thursday this week, he was up early in the morning and he is in very good form and was very happy, and we suggested to him, we talked for a while, we said, i know it is early in the morning, but you are tom jones, would you? would you give us a little number?— a little number? what would happen if i ask a little number? what would happen ifi ask ou a little number? what would happen if i ask you to _ a little number? what would happen if i ask you to sing _ a little number? what would happen if i ask you to sing something? - a little number? what would happen if i ask you to sing something? ok, | if i ask you to sing something? 0k, are ou if i ask you to sing something? 0k, are you ready? _ 7 are you ready. # _ are you ready? # everybody thinks my head's full of nothing _ nothing # - nothing # they want to put nothing — # they want to put their own special stuff in _ # they want to put their own special stuff in alignment # _ stuff in alignment # philip the space with wrappers # philip the space with wrappers # take _ # philip the space with wrappers # take up— # philip the space with wrappers # take up sex and revolution # take up sex and revolution # but — # take up sex and revolution # but there's no hole in my head, too had! _ too bad! there's a reason he too bad! — there's a reason he makes number one, isn't there?—

6:14 am
showers, the april showers which eventually got going at the end of the month. we take them with us into the month. we take them with us into the start of may, and we also bring with us those cold and frosty nights. by the time we get to bank holiday monday it is this area of cloud that we will have to watch because that is going to bring some pretty soggy weather for many of us. for the time being, we are stuck in some relatively cool hour, the winds are very light, we start with a touch of frost in place, there are some mist and fog patches around, and i think most places are going to start off drive. if you keep an eye on the sky, you will see the clouds bubbling up through the morning and we will see showers breaking up quite widely into this afternoon. some of them will be heavy, possibly with hail and thunder. the winds are very light, so if you catch a shower it could be with you for some time. nothing much to blow those showers along. it will feel quite chilly as well, seven or eight across parts of northern scotland. the killer chilly for some of these north sea coast.
6:15 am
the showers will continue for a while. then they will fade and it is another clear and dry night for the most part. temperatures getting down to freezing or below in some places, so yet again we will have a touch of frost to take us into sunday morning. tomorrow, you know the drill by now, another day of sunshine and showers. largely dry and fine to start with but showers getting going into the afternoon. if anything, it is western areas, parts of south—western wales and south—western scotland, where we might see fewer showers. my showers tomorrow across eastern areas, those temperatures again in a disappointing range for this time of year, 7—1a. i hinted at it out the start, here comes monday's weather. a developing area of low pressure, it has been a while since we saw one of his atlantic weather systems bringing a big area of rain east. most of us will see some pretty 5°99y most of us will see some pretty soggy weather for a time on monday, it is uncertain how far north it will get across scotland, may be
6:16 am
some snow mixing and across higher ground. strong and gusty winds, gail is possible for some western coasts, and it will feel disappointing. no great surprise, look at what the weather is going to look like. 8—12 at best. a big change on the way the bank holiday monday, that will clear away and then we will be left with some cold airagain, away and then we will be left with some cold air again, as we head through the coming week. we go back to that some sunshine and showers. some of the showers will be heavy, possibly some dairy, possibly wintry over high ground in the north. this appointing temperatures by day and still the potential for frost at night. so sunshine and showers for today and heavy rain on monday. back today and heavy rain on monday. back to you. now it's time for this week's edition of click.
6:17 am
welcome to click. now, we all know how easy it is to fake things online these days. not even photos, voiced or videos are safe, as we well know, right? yes, we've worn fake clothes, we've faked our voices with software. i've even been entirely faked with a virtual me — although i am convinced that she looked ten years older. i whole—heartedly agree. later in the program, we're going to see the hollywood version of this when we look behind the scenes at the film, tenet. spoiler alert — it wasn't all real. but these days, you don't need a big budget to do this. just think of those zoom backgrounds that we've all been looking at. admittedly, the edges of your hair do often give the game away, but these pictures are pretty good — a lot better than we would have imagined they could be five years ago. (harp glissando) so, check out the next advancements. this is where zoom can put
6:18 am
meeting participants into a meeting room, a real one that's not real, although i think something's gone wrong with the sizing here, don't you? my seat�*s way too low and you're far too small. there's a variety of scenes. do you want to meet me for a coffee? 0h, lovely! look, here we are in a coffee shop! yeah, look! yeah, i'll have a latte, please. i'd say this is cute but does it make you feel like we're in the same room, really? no, i still feel like we're on a zoom call. maybe this is one for the audience, rather than the participants. but while there is plenty of fakery around, the truth is out there, as a certain fox once said, and there are some people who know where to look. the internet is just such a vast place, and like there's so much out there that's just public, so many ways that information can be manipulated. and even, like, political news can be manipulated in someone's favour, so that is where i think open source
6:19 am
intelligence is useful. 18—year—old computer science student kenyon lee has gone viral on tiktok by using so—called open source intelligence — collecting and analysing publicly available data. his main trick is to guess people's exact height by finding other objects in the same shot and tracking down their exact dimensions. woman: how tall is spencer? now, kenyon did do this test on a video of me that he found online and we'll come back to that later. mainly on account of it being the most embarrassing video i've ever posted online. but we have some serious stuff to talk about first. look, trust me on this. see, there are groups of people out there who are using open source intelligence techniques to do much more serious detective work. these are anatoliy chepiga and alexander mishkin, widely believed to have been responsible
6:20 am
for the salisbury poisonings in 2018. this week, a collective of open source intelligence investigators revealed that they'd also managed to link to these two men to the bombing of a czech ammunition depot four years previously. that collective is bellingcat, and we've met its founder, eliot higgins, before. in 201a, it was just him, now he has a foundation in the netherlands, 20 staff members, and a growing network of volunteers all across the world. i caught up with eliot again recently and he told me that flight logs of chepiga and mishkin's trip to the uk in 2018 were revealed by a russian news site, and that showed that their passport numbers were only a few digits apart, which was, to say the least, unusual. that caught the interest of bellingcat, in particular our investigator christo grozev. so, christo looked in these databases and discovered these two individuals didn't exist before 2012. theyjust popped into existence in these data bases in 2013,
6:21 am
which was suspicious. he then approached basically an information broker who sold him these domestic passport registration documents, and stamped on them was the number of the russian ministry of defence, and it became very clear they were not ordinary people, that these appeared to be russian intelligence officers. bellingcat�*s investigation didn't end there. their evidence showed that scientists linked to the 2018 poisonings were following russian opposition leader, alexei navalny on a0 separate trips in 2020. and that includes the journey where he was poisoned. it seems what we've stumbled on, starting with the skripals story, is this entire kind of network of russian assassinations using nerve agents. and that sounds completely insane, but, you know, we have the receipts, we have the phone records, we have everything to show this is actually happening, and this is basically unique to russia because russia has this kind of massive amount of corruption where data, phone records, even of their spies, are freely available to anyone who does a bit of googling. what tools and software do
6:22 am
you and your investigators use when you're looking at photos and you're trying to work out where they've been taken and when you're tracking bits of information back across the internet? we have an online tool box, which is basicallyjust loads of links, by category, that anyone can go and look at and use themselves. probably one of the most powerful tools has been google. things like google earth and google streetview, extremely useful in open source investigation for figuring out where stuff is filmed and photographed. there's resources now that allow you to track aircraft, like flightradar. you have marinetraffic that allows you to track vessels. absolutely fascinating stuff. that was elliott higgins. right, i can't put this off any longer. it's time to go back to kenyon lee, you remember kenyon lee, yeah? the tiktoker who guessed your height from an online video. yeah, so the problem is, the video that he chose was my ice bucket challenge video from years ago, which, if you haven't seen, well, you're probably one of the lucky ones.
6:23 am
i've seen it...and i can't unsee it. # ijust can't get enough of you. um, i was trying to raise money for a good cause, in memory of some good people, and so i decided to go full outrageous and i kind of forgot that the internet never forgets. this you? ok, here comes kenyon's video. well, i guess this pic's not much better. i decided to find spencer's height using this pale from his ice bucket challenge. i overlapped these two frames in photoshop and marked the top of his head and scaled his height using the pixels of the bucket. first we're going to divide the height of the bucket by 134, and multiply that number by 838 to be left with 68.79 inches, or about 5'8" and 0.8 inches which translates to about 17a.75cms. anyway, there was a point to all of this! did he get your height right? well yes, good point, let's find out. what did he say? he said 17a.75. let's have a look. oh, wow, 175! not bad, not bad at all.
6:24 am
not bad considering he did that from the dimensions of a bucket! yeah, good thing he didn't use a 3.5 inch floppy disk. now, one of the few films i got to see the cinema last year was tenet, which, as a massive geek, i absolutely loved. and i know you saw it twice, which i don't think i've ever done. yeah, second time with subtitles, which i really recommend, because it helps you to understand what on earth is going on, because this is a film half the story is going forwards and half the story is going backwards, at the same time, in the same scene! so maybe it's no surprise that it won the oscar for best visual effects. yeah, and if you did see it, and you wondered how they got cars crashing and building exploding in both directions at same time, well, the answer may surprise you. inversion. aim it and pull the trigger. you're not shooting the bullet. you're catching it.
6:25 am
doing visual effects on a chris nolan film, i imagine is different from the majority of big budget hollywood films with a lot of visual effects in. because his approach is very much about finding ways to film practical elements. wherever possible, we wanted to find ways of filming real components and mixing it up a little bit so that they felt very real and grounded in the real world, but still had that sort of slightly odd kind of ? it wasn't just a case of filming forwards things and reversing them, there was more to it than that, more interesting and more complicated. a really good example is where we have cars pulling away quickly and they're an inverted car, you would expect the wheels
6:26 am
to spin or through some dust or gravel out backwards. what we did for those, we found a way of dragging a car backwards while its wheels were spinning forwards, so it threw dirt out backwards, but it was going the wrong direction, so we inverted the thing, so the car pulled away, sucking dust into the back of the wheels. so, that's a really good example of the sort of approach where we find a practical real—world event and then just sort of turn its on its head a little bit so it felt real but wrong. the end scene in the film obviously contains a lot of big explosion events, and there's combinations of forwards and backwards explosions at the same time, and obviously you can't train an explosion to be backwards, so we had to add one half of that shot, so whenever there's the combination of two things, one of them has been added. so we certainly did that a lot for the sequence where there's a minefield, the people in trucks running up and down a hill and mines going off, and we used a combination of practical shot filmed elements, but also cg explosions which had to incidentally match exactly the practical ones because they
6:27 am
were right next to each other. another major event in the end battle scene where a building is simultaneously blown up by an inverted group of people and a normal group of people, so it's simultaneously exploding and imploding. so we built two large, or there were one third scale ten story buildings, two matching buildings, and we filmed each of them from a matching camera angle, and we blew one up at the top and one at the bottom. and then we could reverse the film and composites the two together, reversed one of the films and composite the two together, so this building had this sort of simultaneous exploding and imploding event. this reversing the flow of time. doesn't us being here now mean it never happened? (talks backward) ok, i think spencer's got a bit carried away. as ever, you can find us
6:28 am

6:30 am
but don't ask the manager just yet how excited he's feeling. let me try to wind crystal palace. don't ask me what i'm going to feel something when still i didn't feel it, didn't experience, because it didn't happen. we need five points, to be champions, and to have that incredible opportunity. we have some controversy for you now. the big talking point of last night's draw between leicester and southampton was an early red card for saints defender yannick verstergard. he clearly gets the ball first in this challenge onjamie vardy, just outside the penalty box, but the referee robertjones deemed the follow—through, on to vardy�*s ankle denied him a goal scoring opportunity and warranted a sending off. var didn't overturn it. the controversy galvanised saints, who led thanks to a james ward—prowse penalty, butjonnny evans equalised for leicester late on and they stay comfortably in third place. no fans at that game of course,
6:31 am
but supporters could be able to attend the final two matches of the premier league season after a change in stance from the government. matchday 37 has also been moved back, meaning clubs will be able to have one home game with fans. up to 500 away fans could be also allowed to attend those final two matches. that's the first time since the start of the pandemic. don't expect any goal alerts or tweets on social media today, as football clubs, players, athletes and a number of sporting bodies continue their four—day boycott of social media, in an attempt to tackle abuse and discrimination, on their platforms. a number of players posted a statement shortly before the protest began while football clubs changed their twitter feed icons to a blacked—out version of their logo. arsenal legend thierry henry came off social media several weeks ago in protest at racist abuse and he says he hopes change will follow. ijust said to myself, maybe that is going to create a wave, if i come

out and people ask about it and want to know about it, and the strength of the park, i always thought and still think it is something powerful, as you can see. —— the pack. maybe we can ask those platforms and social media, why are they not doing way more to stop what is happening on their platform and do way more to find out who are behind those accounts. now, ahead of the final weekend, of the world snooker championship in sheffield, stuart bingham has fought back to lead mark selby by 13 frames to 11 in their semi—final. bingham was trailing 9—7 going into the evening session, but played almost flawless snooker including this break of 131 in the first frame. and this is why. his nickname is ball—run. his fellow pros joke he always enjoys the rub of the green, and they will point to that outrageous slice of luck, as the pink rebounds off five cushions before eventually dropping in. he leads by two, going into the final session today, with 17 the target.

last year's beaten finallist karren wilson will resume 10—6 up today in his semi final against shaun murphy. murphy took the last two frames of yesterday's session to stay in contention. strong winds were an issue for the drivers in practice, as formula one prepares for this weekend's portuguese grand prix. lewis hamilton says everyone was sliding around as a result, but it couldn't stop him being quickest — the first time this season he's topped a practice session. red bull's max verstappen was second quickest, with hamilton's teamate valterri bottas third. wigan warriors have suspended their player tony clubb while they carry out an investigation into allegations he made a racist comment during their win against hull fc on thursday. meanwhile, in the super league last night, this try from jake trueman helped castleford beat salford. and there were also wins for catalans, and st helens, who stay top. tonight sees one of the most eagerly—anticipated fights ireland's katie taylor, the undisputed world champion at lightweight, defends herfour

6:36 am
the eggs are incubating? global warming has led to vastly more females than males hatching, putting their future in jeopardy. now scientists hope that by cooling their nests down, they could solve the problem. let's speak to the lead author of the study, leo clarke, who's a marine biologist at the university of bangor. good morning, doctor clark. good morninu. good morning, doctor clark. good morning- this— good morning, doctor clark. good morning. this requires, _ good morning, doctor clark. good morning. this requires, i- good morning, doctor clark. good morning. this requires, i think, i morning. this requires, i think, little lecture _ morning. this requires, i think, little lecture from _ morning. this requires, i think, little lecture from you - morning. this requires, i think, little lecture from you right i morning. this requires, i think, little lecture from you right at l morning. this requires, i think, i little lecture from you right at the top. to explain the principle of the problem. can you take us through the problem? i problem. can you take us through the roblem? ., , , , ~ , problem. can you take us through the roblem? ., , , , a problem? i will do my best. as you have alluded _ problem? i will do my best. as you have alluded to, _ problem? i will do my best. as you have alluded to, the _ problem? i will do my best. as you have alluded to, the issue - problem? i will do my best. as you have alluded to, the issue that i problem? i will do my best. as you have alluded to, the issue that thisj have alluded to, the issue that this study was trying to address, welcome to the wider issue is that climate change is having a negative impact on global diversity —— biodiversity, globally. this is important for species such as turtles which are already of conservation concern. they are quite special turtles and
6:37 am
that they have what is known as temperature —dependent sex determination. 36 of the offspring is not determined by the genes, but ljy is not determined by the genes, but by environmental temperatures during incubation. highertemperatures, incubation. higher temperatures, like you incubation. highertemperatures, like you say, results in higher proportion of females being produced than males, and in some places, some species in some populations, this is “p species in some populations, this is up to 90% or more. higher temperatures during incubation, obviously as a result of global warming, is also associated with reduced hutch success. so higher temperatures, resulting in more nests favouring to hutch. there has been lots of research in the past which has tried to test ways to intervene to lower nest temperatures to mitigate against these issues, things like shaving of the nests, sprinkling of the nests, changing the sound colour on the beaches, relocating nests to laboratories, and to help address this issue we used two techniques, one of which,
6:38 am
shading, we also tested a new technique, splitting the nest, halving the number of eggs which incubate in the nest, therefore hopefully reducing the amount of heat generated by the remaining eggs. we found that both techniques were successful in reducing the nest temperatures and changing the sex temperatures and changing the sex temperatures —— ratios, so we found that in a natural nest to the sex ratios of 70% bias towards females in split clutches in split nests, where we had half the number of eggs incubated, it was just a5% females being produced, and initiated nest it was just 1.5% on average whether hatchlings were females. just itwasjust1.5% on average whether hatchlings were females.— hatchlings were females. just go back to some — hatchlings were females. just go back to some of _ hatchlings were females. just go back to some of the _ hatchlings were females. just go back to some of the basics i hatchlings were females. just go back to some of the basics for i hatchlings were females. just go i back to some of the basics for me, because i feel like i am in a learning curve here. so, the turtle lays the eggs, and at that point, the egg is of indeterminate sex, and then the temperature which affects it, one way or another, is the thing which determines what will be hatched? .. ,

this week he's examining how the uk is adjusting to a post—brexit world. since 2016, outside sources followed the brexit story through the referendum, through the long process, to find a withdrawal deal and then a new trade deal. and now brexit is a reality and i want to look if promises have been kept. i want to assess three different areas, starting with fishing which accounts for 0.1% of the uk economy, but has always played a big part in this story. to those who support it, brexit is about taking back control. it is an idea that resonated with fishermen and women. we should be the guardians — fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of _ fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of our _ fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of our own _ fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of our own seas, - fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of our own seas, not . the guardians of our own seas, not ministers who we do not know, we haven't voted in, making decisions for us. �* .. . haven't voted in, making decisions forus. . . for us. boris johnson argued that more presuaerity _ for us. boris johnson argued that more prosperity would _ for us. boris johnson argued that more prosperity would come - for us. boris johnson argued that| more prosperity would come with for us. boris johnson argued that - more prosperity would come with more control. .. . more prosperity would come with more control. ., . ., control. you have got the eu

he said. over my dead body. but if thatis he said. over my dead body. but if that is what was said, this is what has happened. the brexit trade deal comes with a northern ireland protocol. it is the pledge that northern ireland, in effect, stays in the eu single market for goods and so certain goods moving to northern ireland from the rest of the uk are subject to checks. the checks we were told it wouldn't happen. and that has brought pressure to northern ireland public peace settlement. the good friday agreement was signed in the 90s little not ended violence between the nationalists who wanted northern ireland to join the republic of ireland to join the republic of ireland and loyalists who wanted to stay in the uk. and as part of this, the irish border is completely open. no checks. the eu and the uk agreed, any land no checks. the eu and the uk agreed, any [and border checks risked republican anger. but there was no equivalent calculation for loyalists and checks in the rsc. and anger has followed. the and checks in the rsc. and anger has followed. , ., .. and checks in the rsc. and anger has followed. , ., ., . , and checks in the rsc. and anger has followed. , ., ., , followed. the protocol has betrayed us and has made _ followed. the protocol has betrayed us and has made us _ followed. the protocol has betrayed us and has made us feel— followed. the protocol has betrayed us and has made us feel like - us and has made us feel like foreigners in our own country. tea

from tuesday, without having to self—isolate for two weeks on their return. the government says it's updated its guidance in light of the success of the vaccination programme, and falling cora navirus infection rates. campaigners had threatened legal action, arguing that residents' human rights were being breached. here's our social affairs correspondent alison holt. care homes have felt the full force of covid—19, but now, with most residents vaccinated and infections falling in the community, there's been increasing anger over government restrictions families call "barbaric." if residents leave a care home, even if it's just for a walk, they're expected to self—isolate for 14 days when they return. the government says that will now change, to the relief of campaigners. i think this guidance was always so bizarre, so cruel and so discriminatory. i mean, it was illegally imprisoning people in care homes. it was depriving them of their liberty, doing incalculable harm.
7:04 am
from next tuesday, official guidance will say residents who leave a care home for low—risk visits will not have to self—isolate on return. they can visit a relative's garden, parks or outdoor public spaces, and they can go indoors to vote. they will need to be accompanied by a nominated visitor or care worker. but residents who leave the home for such things as medical appointments will still have to self—isolate upon return. visits out should be assessed according to the local situation. alison holt, bbc news. india has become the first country in the world to record more than 400,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day. many areas continue to be ravaged by the virus and there are shortages of oxygen, vaccines and even wood. mark lobel reports. grasping valuable oxygen,

helping us getjustice forjulia. well, julia james' family say they are confident that the police are doing everything they can to find who is responsible. we know there are hundreds of officers working around the clock on this case. a lot of those offices have been searching fields. those searches are likely to continue today, other officers have been stationed around here in the local community to try to give some sort of reassurance, and reassurance is what people want. i have spent the last few days talking to local people. it is a very friendly place where everybody knows each other because it is a small hamlet, but behind the smiles, people here are very worried, very concerned. they want to know exactly what happened. there is particular concern at the suggestion she might have been attacked by somebody she didn't know. so the police are trying to give the community that reassurance but they do face a tough task ahead.

7:16 am
rain on bank holiday monday. that will come courtesy of this cloud. a long way out to the west at the moment. you can see speckled clouds at the moment and we are in a pool of rather cool air and that is why we are getting off a cold and frosty start this morning. there are patches around as well and some of that fog down towards the south is quite dense at the moment and should lift and clear. then we see the sunshine but you see the blobs of blue appearing on the chart, that is showing the potential for showers, some of which will be heavy with hail and thunder stop quite widespread. slow—moving as well. if you catch a shower, it could be with you catch a shower, it could be with you for quite some time because the wind will be light and it is a cool feeling day as well. some places will avoid all the showers and stay completely dry. the showers will fade through the evening so it will turn dry with clear spells. again with one or two missed patches. we are into may now but we will see a
7:17 am
touch of frost to start tomorrow morning. tomorrow is a repeat performance, sunshine and showers they and most widespread across eastern areas was some part of the west, maybe the south—west of scotland, shouldn't see too many showers during the day tomorrow. again it is a cool feeling day. seven degrees for aberdeen and 14 for cardiff and london. and then we get to monday, a bank holiday, and here comes something we haven't seen for quite some time, an area of low pressure pushing in from the atlantic which will bring for many of us are most widespread and heaviest rainfall, quite some time. and depending on how far north 's rain gets into scotland, there may be some snow mixing in over the high ground. it will be windy with those wind gusts, particularly dusty with gales possible along western coasts and a disappointing field. the rain clears away. is there a heat wave
7:18 am
following on? no, there is not. it stays chilly throughout the week with a mix of sunshine and showers some of them wintry into the high ground. 100,000 jobs created through action on climate change, and a commitment to a second independence referendum — that's the promise from the scottish greens ahead of elections later this month. but can it give the party the breakthrough they hope for? joining us now from glasgow is the party's co—leader, patrick harvie. good morning to you. shall we drive straight in with this issue of a second independence referendum? if, if you were in government and supporting propping up the s&p, would you support it in its drive for independence? a second referendum within the next two years? referendum within the next two ears? . .. . , referendum within the next two ears? , ., _ , referendum within the next two ears? ,., _ , ., years? obviously scottish politics and the scottish _ years? obviously scottish politics and the scottish election - years? obviously scottish politics and the scottish election is - years? obviously scottish politics and the scottish election is aboutj

7:23 am
this. across the continent of europe, the countries, the individual nations, have borders, and they work together. borders are not things that have to keep think —— people apart, they can be a place where people come together on both sides. that is the kind of europe i would like to live in and i think it is tragic that today's generation of young people have had the incredible potential of freedom of movement within europe taken away from them. people in scotland didn't vote for that and i don't think we need to be part of it. that and i don't think we need to be art of it. ., .. that and i don't think we need to be art of it. ., ~' ,. that and i don't think we need to be art of it. ., ~ i. .. that and i don't think we need to be art of it. ., ~ i. ., i. part of it. thank you for your time with us this _ part of it. thank you for your time with us this morning. _ we're going to catch up with one of our breakfast gps, doctor sarahjarvis, in a moment. before we do, let's take a look at some of the latest covid data
7:24 am
from across the uk. as of yesterday, around 22 million people — that's a third of the uk population — were living in an area which did not see a single covid death during the month of april. we also know there were fewer than 600 covid deaths in the uk last month. injanuary, the death toll was 30,000. and in england, the latest figures show that fewer than one in 1,000 people had the virus towards the end of last month. dr sarahjarvisjoins us now from west london. and ijust ask and i just ask you, and ijust ask you, give me a snapshot of surgery life this week. it is really, really, really busy. because of course we've still got all the vaccines that we're giving and yes, we're not rolling out as many first vaccines but are running out huge numbers of second vaccines.
7:25 am
but i'm afraid numbers have been up, we did about 4.8 million more appointments over the course of march then we had done compared to the previous month and that is the highest figure since october 2019, but in addition, we are doing all of the vaccines as well. gps have been good at adapting but it is tough out there and we are trying to reduce there and we are trying to reduce the waiting times for patients. let's talk about the vaccination programme. as we get to the lower ages, it is 40 plus being invited to come forward now, what are you hearing, may be directly or indirectly. there has been a concern as the younger cohort has come in, that they may be less swift to take up that they may be less swift to take up the opportunity, have more questions. are you seeing, hearing or feeling any of that? we questions. are you seeing, hearing or feeling any of that?— or feeling any of that? we are seeinu a or feeling any of that? we are seeing a little _ or feeling any of that? we are seeing a little but _ or feeling any of that? we are seeing a little but i _ or feeling any of that? we are seeing a little but i don't - or feeling any of that? we are| seeing a little but i don't think or feeling any of that? we are - seeing a little but i don't think we are likely to see it that much with the over 40s. it will probably be when we get down to the over 30s and certainly when we get down to the under 30s. we are getting more pregnant women coming in because of because they have been advised that
7:26 am
they should have the vaccine in line with their age group but they should ideally have either the pfizer or the maduro vaccine and that is causing some problems because there are challenges. we don't necessarily know when we are going to get which vaccine and if you are booking online, you can't tell which vaccine you are getting. same thing applies to women under 30. not many of them coming forward at the moment and most of those have been vaccinated. we are getting a few more questions. we are getting a few more questions. we have got more data coming out about this very rare clot but of course most of the patients we see now are going, is there anything new and the only thing we have new is the chance of having a clot, this same very rare clot, is about eight and ten times higher. so as a rule, no, people are certainly not turning up no, people are certainly not turning up and then going away. the only question is whether we have some patients who are not turning up, those are the ones who are likely to be more concerned and i urge them to
7:27 am

7:28 am
people who are spreading it most. we have had 8000 people and so far from what i am hearing, it doesn't appear to show that there is a lot of infection but there are still some precautions going on. presumably, we are continuing to have testing at the big events and of course ventilation and may be staggered entries. ~., , ventilation and may be staggered entries. , , ., ., ventilation and may be staggered entries. , . ., ., .. entries. many people who had both of their vaccinations _ entries. many people who had both of their vaccinations already, _ entries. many people who had both of their vaccinations already, and - entries. many people who had both of their vaccinations already, and that i their vaccinations already, and that number is growing all the time, will have listened with interest to professor donovan van tam, when he was asking about two fully vaccinated people meeting up, and he said it would be incredibly safe to meet indoors if that happened. very quickly pointing out the same breath edit this stage, it is not allowed. those are social distancing rules have not changed. it launched a

series of questions in people's heads about how things were the near future. you may guess, and we are so close, we are so close, we are on track. ..

more silverware could be in manchester city hands by tomorrow evening they can take a giant step towards the premier league title, when they take on crystal palace at lunchtime nd then, if rivals manchester united lose tomorrow against liverpool, pep guardiola's team will claim their third premier league trophy in four years. but you know what managers are like — they don't count any chickens until thejob is done. let me try to win crystal palace. don't ask me what i'm going to feel something when still i didn't feel it, didn't experience, because it didn't happen. we need five points, to be champions, and to have that incredible opportunity. another controversial refeering decision dominated the chat after southampton and leicester drew last night. there was an early red card for saints defender yannick verstergard. but he did get the ball first, in this challenge onjamie vardy just outside the penalty box. but the referee robertjones ruled the follow—through denied vardy a goal scoring opportunity and warranted a sending off. var didn't overturn it.
7:33 am
as can happen, the sense of injustice, galvanised saints who led thanks to a james ward—prowse penalty, butjonnny evans equalised for leicester late on, and stay comfortably in third place. no fans at that game, of course, but supporters could be at the final two matches of the premier league season after a change in stance from the government. matchday 37 has also been moved back, meaning clubs will be able to have one home game with fans and up to 500 away fans could be also allowed to attend those final two matches. that's the first time since the start of the pandemic. don't expect any match tweets on social media today, as football clubs, players, athletes and a number of sporting bodies continue their four—day boycott of social media in an attempt to tackle abuse and discrimination on their platforms. a number of players posted a statement shortly before the protest began, while football clubs changed their twitter feed icons to a blacked—out version of their logo. arsenal legend thierry henry came off social media several weeks ago in protest at racist abuse and he says he hopes change will follow.
7:34 am
ijust said to myself, maybe that's going to create a wave, if i come out and people ask about it and want to know about it, and the strength of the pack, i've always thought and still think it's something powerful, as you can see. maybe we can ask those platforms and social media, why are they not doing way more to stop what's happening on their platforms and do way more to find out who are behind those accounts? stuart bingham fought back to lead mark selby 13 frames to 11 in their semi—final at the world snooker championship. bingham was trailing 9—7 going into the evening session but was faultless at times — this break of 131 in the first frame, but he also lived up to his nickname of ball—run. his fellow pros say he often gets the rub of the green and so some wry smiles as the pink rebounds off five cushions before eventually dropping in. he leads by two, going into the final session today with 17 the target.
7:35 am
last year's beaten finallist karren wilson will resume 10—6 up today in his semifinal against shaun murphy. murphy took the last two frames of yesterday's session to stay in contention. keeping the car on the track in strong winds was the challenge for drivers, according to lewis hamilton ahead of the portuguese grand prix. the conditions couldn't blow him off course, though, and he went quickest in second practice — the first time this season, he's topped a practice session. red bull's max verstappen was second quickest, with hamilton's teamate valterri bottas third. jockey rachel blackmore's incredible year continued as she rode honeysuckle to victory in the irish champion hurdle. the pairfollowed up their win at cheltenham with another convincing display at punchestown, beating nearest challenger sharjah by two—and—a—half lengths. that's 12 wins out of 12 for honeysuckle now, while for blackmore, it extends her amazing season that's seen her become the first woman to ride a grand national winner and be the leading jockey at cheltenham.
7:36 am
england's women have kept their place at the top of the world rugby rankings, but in bizarre style. england were leading 17—15 in their test match against france, knowing victory would keep them as the number one team. but with 18 minutes remaining, the floodlights failed in villeneuve—d'ascq, and play was suspended — and then later abandoned — meaning england were awarded the win. now, just a little warning, some of the following pictures may make you want to travel. a british man has entered the record books for becoming the first person to circumnavigate the earth on something that's also been described as a flying motorbike — an "autogyro". you can see his route here, from basingstoke all the way across europe, russia and back across the top to basingstoke again. nowjames ketchell made the epic journey before the first lockdown, but has now finally received the official guinness world record. i went to hampshire to meet him and, of course, tojoin him

7:49 am
briefing on covid the right place to ask about those redecorations? for several weeks, allegations of improper conduct on the part of borisjohnson and his government have been swirling around the media, and this week, three such stories, all related to the prime minister's integrity, dominated bbc news. most prominent was the question of who paid what and when toward the redecoration of mrjohnson�*s downing street flat. in an interview on saturday on the news channel, martine croxall suggested to the former labour party director of communications, alastair campbell, that many people might not be that bothered about the details of the case. do voters really care? doesn't this just look like the rough—and—tumble of politics in what's been an extraordinary year? i think people should care about this because we're talking about the nature of our government,
7:50 am
the nature of our democracy. jon byrne agreed with alastair campbell, writing... but caroljude was not alone in saying... that view that the public was less interested in the details of who paid for those new curtains and soft furnishings than bbcjournalists seemed to be continued to feature prominently in our inbox during the next few days, as the story remained prominent in the headlines. today at six, boris johnson and his downing street flat — the questions thatjust will not go away. where exactly did the prime minister get the tens of thousands of pounds he spent doing it up? brian rickard wondered...
7:51 am
well, we asked bbc news about the priority it has given to the subject, and a spokesperson told us... we'll return to "cash for curtains", as it's been called, later. but another incendiary charge against the prime minister was made in the mail online on sunday that he said last autumn that he would rather see bodies piled high than take the country into a third lockdown. anonymous sources also told the bbc they had heard the remarks,
7:52 am
but borisjohnson strongly denied saying the phrase, describing the reports as "total rubbish." have you ever said that you would rather see bodies pile up than go into another third lockdown? no, but again, i think the important thing people want us to get on and do as the government is to make sure the lockdowns work. so, was that on—the—record denial by the prime minister the end of the story? no — much to the disgruntlement of neville rhoades, who e—mailed on tuesday. we put that point to bbc news who gave us this statement. there was a similarly robust denial of wrongdoing by borisjohnson last week after the bbc published leaked text messages between mrjohnson
7:53 am
there was a similarly robust denial of wrongdoing by borisjohnson last week after the bbc published leaked text messages between mrjohnson and sirjames dyson. the messages showed the prime minister saying he would "fix" concerns the businessman had over his employees' tax bills if they moved to the uk to make ventilators at the start of the pandemic. if you think that there's anything remotely dodgy or weird or
7:54 am
sleazy about trying to secure more ventilators at a time of a national pandemic and doing everything in your power to do that, then i think you're out of your mind. and on wednesday, sirjames dyson wrote an article in the daily telegraph in which he laid into the way bbc news had reported the story. he went on to criticise laura kuenssberg, writing... sirjames added that he was responding to the prime minister's urgent call for help with ventilators, and that he was looking not for any favours, but for clarification on the tax status of his employees. and this is what the bbc had
7:55 am
to say on the matter. but some newswatch viewers were still unhappy, with nick reilly describing the coverage as... on several occasions this week, bbc journalists questioned government ministers about these various allegations, and one of those occasions came during wednesday's downing street press conference, with this encounter between laura kuenssberg and the health secretary, matt hancock. if a serving government minister is found to have broken the rules on party funding or even law, should they resign? given that this is a coronavirus press conference, you won't be
7:56 am
surprised that i'm not going to add to the answers the prime minister's already given to very extensive questioning. thanks. a number of newswatch viewers thought that wasn't an appropriate forum for a question on that subject. one of them, bridget herniman, recorded this video for us. i find the national coronavirus - briefings a really important portal for all of us in the uk to get the most up—to—date and i i also find the questioning - from the press really important. l i was therefore horrified to find . that laura kuenssberg chose to use i bbc's slot to ask a, quite frankly, i ridiculous question on the pm's flat renovation costs while we have thousands dying in india. - i would've much ratherl seen a specific question on the england variant - and implications to us in the uk. so, please, laura, don't hijack these briefings. for political questions. you provide excellent analysis - and information on other platforms. in reply to those points,
7:57 am
the bbc told us... well, we asked bbc news for a correspondent and editor or an executive to come on and discuss any or all of the points we raised on the programme, but were told that no one was available. instead, let's talk to another newswatch viewer who got in touch with us, mike denny. mike, you complained specifically about laura kuenssberg asking the question she did about the flat at that covid news conference. can you tell me what concerned you? i just thought that the question was entirely inappropriate. a lot of people all over the country had been tuning in
7:58 am
to hear a very, very important news conference about the coronavirus pandemic. and for miss kuenssberg to effectively attempt to hijack that was, i think, quite frankly, appalling, and i think it was a delight for me and a lot of the country to see mr hancock quite firmly but politely put her in her place. there are the journalists who asked a covid question and then added on, "and would you like to respond to laura's question?" to be fair, other journalists felt it was a question worthy of an answer. it's a question probably worthy of an answer, but not in the setting that news conference was taking place, in my opinion. how much coverage did you notice in the build—up to you deciding to complain to newswatch? it felt to me, for several days,
7:59 am
that the coverage was completely over the top. it seems to me that every news bulletin i watched over a period of a day or three or four led with this story or things linked to this story. and not only did the broadcasts lead with it, but the actual depth that the broadcasts went into was just way beyond, i think, what was necessary. you raised the question of depth, and the bbc argument is — and i think it's fair to say a lot of viewers have also felt — that the flat refurbishment is a big story because it's part of a larger issue for the government. can you see why they made the argument that it does merit as much coverage as it was given? frankly, no, ican't. i think it is a story and i think it is an important story, but for me, there are much more — many more, rather — important things going on in this country, and indeed, in the world, than who did and who didn't pay for the refurbishment of boris johnson's flat.

new guidance for care home residents in england. from next week, they'll be able to go out and visit relatives, without the need to isolate when they return. india becomes the first country in the world to report 400,000 coronavirus cases in a single day. good morning, this could be the end that manchester city clinch the title. a win at crystal palace this lunchtime, will put them, within touching distance of their second trophy in a week. back on the dancefloor with no social distancing — the covid pilot schemes testing crowd safety. i have trust in the science, trust in the tests, and i think if we have all come here negative, why would we come up positive? it has been really nice, in a safe way. good morning. the april showers we've seen over the last few days continuing to the start of may. there are some more chilly night on the way and widespread rain for bank holiday monday. all the details
8:02 am
coming up here on breakfast. good morning. it's saturday the 1st of may. care home residents in england are to be allowed to go out for walks, or visit the gardens of friends and relatives from tuesday, without having to self—isolate for two weeks on their return. the government says it's updated its guidance in light of the success of the vaccination programme, and falling coranavirus infection rates. campaigners had threatened legal action, arguing that residents' human rights were being breached. here's our social affairs correspondent alison holt. care homes have felt the full force of covid—i9, but now, with most residents vaccinated and infections falling in the community, there's been increasing anger over government restrictions families call "barbaric." if residents leave a care home, even if it's just for a walk, they're expected to self—isolate for iii days when they return. the government says that will now change, to the relief of campaigners.
8:03 am
i think this guidance was always so bizarre, so cruel and so discriminatory. i mean, it was illegally imprisoning people in care homes. it was depriving them of their liberty, doing incalculable harm. from next tuesday, official guidance will say residents who leave a care home for low—risk visits will not have to self—isolate on return. they can visit a relative's garden, parks or outdoor public spaces, and they can go indoors to vote. they will need to be accompanied by a nominated visitor or care worker. but residents who leave the home for such things as medical appointments will still have to self—isolate upon return. guidance in scotland, wales and northern ireland say that visits out should be assessed according to the local situation. alison holt, bbc news. india has become the first country in the world to record more than 400,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day. many areas continue to be ravaged

that is not yet possible because of a shortage of doses. to stop the virus spreading elsewhere, australia has temporarily made it illegal for its citizens to return home from india. and this from america... we have announced that there's going to be a travel restriction starting on tuesday... but some flights will take on extra importance. we're going to be sending a plane with supplies that will include oxygen, and with an expectation that that will provide some of relief. but even if cases are now successfully contained, it's predicted there's still a tough month ahead. the daily case count is likely to peak around mid may and the daily death count will possibly peak about two weeks later, towards the end of may. india's battle with this pandemic remains on many fronts. mark lobel, bbc news. families in israel have begun burying their loved ones

sir tom joined us on breakfast on thursday, and we asked him if he did requests. what would happen if i ask you to sing something? ok, are you ready? # everybody thinks my head's full of nothing # they want to put their own special stuff in # fill up the space with candy wrappers # take out sex and revolution # but there's no hole in my head, too bad! # no hole in his head, has a number one, good feeling. i was thinking this morning, there's never not a good time to have tom jones singing on the programme. we should just have a new slot for him. what time is it? 11 minutes past eight, tom jones time. works for me, if you are out there, tom, let us know.
8:11 am
there may be a few sore heads in liverpool this morning — after the city hosted the uk's first legal club night since the pandemic began. 3,000 people met up in a warehouse near the city centre — with no facemasks or social distancing required. and, as danjohnson discovered, they were up for a good time. dance music. this is a release from lockdown, and a relief for an industry that has been silenced for over a year. no masks, no distance, no vaccine passports. this is the power of music to unite people for one weekend, and they're making the most of it. it's been a nice change, yeah. could get used to it. it's been brilliant, yeah, 100%. honestly, it's been such a nice change. because you've been on your own for, like, the last two years. and it's been really nice, in a safe way. because everyone has been tested, so it's been brilliant.
8:12 am
we had to go through four different checkpoints to get in. it was a lot. you had to confirm that you had an lft, you had to confirm that you were in liverpool, you had drug dogs sniff you, there was a lot of steps before you got anywhere close to it. they weren't sparing the decibels, after djs spent such a long time stuck at home, like so many in the live events business. dance music. this is for the covid generation. you know, there's something that happens when you're together, all experiencing the same thing at the same time. you feel connected to people and that's what this is about, so, yeah! everybody here was tested before the event and they will be tested again in the next five days. organise say it's safer here than the supermarket — and the music's much better. everybody was really relaxed and into the zone, and what was interesting,
8:13 am
seeing the crowd from the dj booth's point of view, only seeing one person out of everybody wearing a facemask. which was interesting in itself. people were straight into pre—covid conditions, hugging, saying hello, it was nice, actually. across the city there's an even bigger gig tomorrow. 5000 in sefton park, also being monitored to see how they interact and how ventilation and air flow can restrict the spread of the virus. this research is really important for creating a safety blueprint for opening events. how do the local public health teams work with the organisers to adapt to changing circumstances? at the moment, the rates of the virus are really low in the background, so it's a safe time to be putting this safety net in place. we want to know, have we got all the communications channels? does the ticketing and testing work well together? does everyone understand why they have to report symptoms and not come if they have them? this is a great time to get that blueprint right. i have trust in the science,
8:14 am
i have trust in the tests, and i think if we have all come here negative, why would we then come up positive? we've shown how we can go back to this. yeah! the club scene, back again! because honestly, young adults have been completely brushed under the carpet and we've been blamed for everything. such a vibe change from the last year and a bit, where everyone has been stuck inside, to be around notjust people you know, but get to see other people. home time for these pioneers, who are leading the way for the rest of us. testing negative and keeping positive, that's the vibe. taxis and takeaways to be sorted, a little taste of freedom to treasure, and hopefully it brings us all closer together. danjohnson, bbc news, liverpool. matt ashton is the director of public health for liverpool — and hejoins us now. good morning, how do you feel it all

8:16 am
intelligence and how we can safely reopen these events in the future and that is about virus transmission absolutely to see if you see an increase in cases afterwards but it's more than that, it is looking at people's behaviour, movement, airflow, looking at how they get to and from events and for the promoters as well, understanding how to run a covid safe event.— to run a covid safe event. everyone who attended _ to run a covid safe event. everyone who attended at _ to run a covid safe event. everyone who attended at this _ to run a covid safe event. everyone who attended at this event - to run a covid safe event. everyone who attended at this event and - who attended at this event and performed, will they be tracked afterwards and for how long? everyone who attended with a ticket absolutely will be so we asked people to take a pcr test five days afterwards which helps us identify any virus that happened as a result of the event. i'm not expecting any but it allows us to do the local contact tracing so we can follow any cases that arise. in contact tracing so we can follow any cases that arise.— cases that arise. in that sense as well, cases that arise. in that sense as well. trying _ cases that arise. in that sense as well. trying to — cases that arise. in that sense as well, trying to figure _ cases that arise. in that sense as well, trying to figure out - cases that arise. in that sense as well, trying to figure out how- cases that arise. in that sense as | well, trying to figure out how you can relate if there are any positive results, to whether or not it is just a normal life post event that

8:22 am
really cool air working its way right across the british isles, frosty, dry start with most and already one or two showers around with one patches there as well, and through the daily showers become a bountiful and widespread and they could pop upjust bountiful and widespread and they could pop up just about anywhere, heavy, thundery, slow—moving as well, and the winds could be very light but as always in these scenarios, some places will fall between showers and stay completely dry so it is a hit and miss date with temperatures of... chili throughout this evening, looking at dry weather, clear spells through the night. again, could be one or two missed patches with some patchy fog here and there, and these cold nights are really stubborn and then on into may with pressures around freezing, touch of frost for some. tomorrow redo it all again, flying to start, sunshine out there. bc
8:23 am
though showers breaking out. if anything, the showers can focus the cross eastern parts, parts of south—west england and scotland, avoiding the showers and steam dryer with pressures between eight and ill celsius again, then this is bank holiday mondaywet weather, while since we've seen one of these, an area of which are —— an area of low pressure pushing in. some uncertainty about how far north at all yet, northern scotland may say just about dry but as the rain fringes into scotland, could wet weather further south, wind and gates likely for some western coast gales likely for some western coast and temperatures through mondayjust 8-12 c and temperatures through mondayjust 8—12 c so this is perhaps not the day to be heading out and about that weather will clear off behind it, we will once again be left with some rather cold and so temperatures by day through the coming week will be below normal, single digits in the
8:24 am
north, may be double digits in the south with a mix of sunshine and showers, wintry of high ground in scotland and it will still have cold and frosty nights but as far as the weekend goes, mixed with sunshine and showers the story. back to you. to the mystery person, what with the lawn look like?— lawn look like? brown and patchy, i hoe lawn look like? brown and patchy, i ho -e he's lawn look like? brown and patchy, i hope he's not _ lawn look like? brown and patchy, i hope he's not watching. _ lawn look like? brown and patchy, i hope he's not watching. have i lawn look like? brown and patchy, i hope he's not watching. have just i hope he's not watching. have 'ust shamed someone i hope he's not watching. have 'ust shamed someone on i hope he's not watching. have 'ust shamed someone on nationali shamed someone on national television. i don't think you will be having any food at the barbecue tomorrow. hf be having any food at the barbecue tomorrow. hi it be having any food at the barbecue tomorrow. ., , , tomorrow. if it rains, i will get my revenue. tomorrow. if it rains, i will get my revenge- look _ tomorrow. if it rains, i will get my revenge. look at _ tomorrow. if it rains, i will get my revenge. look at you _ tomorrow. if it rains, i will get my revenge. look at you with - tomorrow. if it rains, i will get my revenge. look at you with the i tomorrow. if it rains, i will get my i revenge. look at you with the power ofthe revenge. look at you with the power of the weather _ revenge. look at you with the power of the weather as _ revenge. look at you with the power of the weather as well. _ revenge. look at you with the power of the weather as well. what - revenge. look at you with the power of the weather as well. what better| of the weather as well. what better time nicely to take us into this next story because you're talking a lot about the weather in relation to the ground and talking to farmers, problems it is causing them but on the potential of people's lows.

—— lawns, it was tv gardener monty don who first led the calls for us to leave our mowers in the shed and let our lawns grow wild and unruly. well now he's being backed up by conservationists — who say that to boost wildflowers and help the bees, we need to stop aiming for a manicured lawn.let�*s speak now to dr trevor dines, who joins us from the beautiful treborth botanic garden in bangor. good morning. joining us from the javaw botanic garden in bangor. you have the sunshine there and what looks like, to me, quite a well manicured lawn i am looking at is that what is the business in front of you? what is happening there? indie of you? what is happening there? - have the lawn here and it's interesting that we keep some of short and light some of them grow longer, and this is the best thing for wildlife, what we call the mohican, mow mohican. this is something that we call no mow may

well be encourage gardeners to leave their mowers in the shed and the flowers grow on your lawns. you have some dandelions now and at the end of the month, we ask people to put down a square metre... they have a broom handle your, walking stick, some canes, work out a one metre square, count the number of dandelions, daisies, what are you have in your, send the results to the website and we instantly tell you your personal neck score, how many those flowers feet. 50 you your personal neck score, how many those flowers feet.— you your personal neck score, how many those flowers feet. so we end with a chart- — many those flowers feet. so we end with a chart. but _ many those flowers feet. so we end with a chart. but what _ many those flowers feet. so we end with a chart. but what is _ many those flowers feet. so we end with a chart. but what is that - many those flowers feet. so we end with a chart. but what is that thing l with a chart. but what is that thing in the middle— in the middle well, you can't have the thins in the middle well, you can't have the things in _ in the middle well, you can't have the things in the _ in the middle well, you can't have the things in the middle _ in the middle well, you can't have the things in the middle so - in the middle well, you can't have the things in the middle so you i the things in the middle so you through this tennis ball oogle all over the shoulder and through it,

this is where you put it. your quadrangle. it is easy to count the number of flowers but you know how much nectar each flower is producing and that feeds notjust much nectar each flower is producing and that feeds not just the much nectar each flower is producing and that feeds notjust the bees but butterflies, hoverflies in all sorts of other as well. and this mohican approach to cutting your lawn is very important because we found with every flower it counts in the most nectar and pollen produced is on the short grass areas where they are moving once per month which maximises nectar production but if you also have long grass around them in the garden as well, that is a different habitat for different insects, invertebrate and putting the two together is really what wildlife really loves, that the habitat in the garden.- wildlife really loves, that the habitat in the garden. you're not sa inc habitat in the garden. you're not saying don't _ habitat in the garden. you're not saying don't ever _ habitat in the garden. you're not saying don't ever mow _ habitat in the garden. you're not saying don't ever mow your- habitat in the garden. you're not| saying don't ever mow your lawn, habitat in the garden. you're not i saying don't ever mow your lawn, are you! saying don't ever mow your lawn, are ou! ., �* , saying don't ever mow your lawn, are ou! . �* , ., ., , you! that's right and that is the surrisina you! that's right and that is the surprising thing _ you! that's right and that is the surprising thing with _ you! that's right and that is the surprising thing with our- you! that's right and that is the surprising thing with our survey full we thought completely un—grass was the best thing for paul and

you speak with them, but it is much broader, i have had letters from people who put memorials or to the site to say how much they meant, a colleague of mine went to the osteopath said while his shoulder was being pummelled, the osteopath told her about her mother who put the name of her husband on the website and meant a lot terms of her own grieving. so it touches a lot of people, and the whole genesis of this is because people were not able to come together or be any physical place, so this is why we did the light book. this is enabling people to take that together, the online and the physical, so we have a memorial which can remember literally thousands of people in a way that chiselling people onto a piece of stone or writing any focal book you cannot do. it is interesting, _ book you cannot do. it is interesting, a _ book you cannot do. it is interesting, a very - book you cannot do. it is interesting, a very personal thing. —— in a physical book. it interesting, a very personal thing. -- in a physical book.— interesting, a very personal thing. -- in a physical book. it could be a buildin: -- in a physical book. it could be a building or — -- in a physical book. it could be a building or a _ -- in a physical book. it could be a building or a place _ -- in a physical book. it could be a building or a place that _ -- in a physical book. it could be a building or a place that meant - building or a place that meant something to them, somewhere out in

the open, but you will know that often people need a place to go. yes, there is a whole variety of ways it which people work through grief, and this is one way that we can help. part of the idea is that we have been remembering people and events at st paul's for centuries, and we have memorials to particular people and sometimes particular events. this makes it possible for people to say about their are lots of ways i can remember but one way is to link the name of the person that i love with this place, this world known building, and say that there is a part of the person i love hearing this place. so it is part of the ways in which we can grieve. but it is only part but an important part for some and many. lovely talkin: part for some and many. lovely talking to _ part for some and many. lovely talking to you. _ part for some and many. lovely talking to you, thank— part for some and many. lovely talking to you, thank you. -

way and more widespread rain for bank holiday monday. all the weather details your own breakfast. good morning. it's saturday the 1st of may. care home residents in england are to be allowed to go out for walks, or visit the gardens of friends and relatives from tuesday, without having to self—isolate for two weeks on their return. the government says it's updated its guidance in light of the success of the vaccination programme, and falling coronavirus infection rates. campaigners had threatened legal action, arguing that residents' human rights were being breached. here's our social affairs correspondent alison holt. care homes have felt the full force of covid—19, but now, with most residents vaccinated and infections falling in the community, there's been increasing anger over government restrictions families call "barbaric." if residents leave a care home, even if it's just for a walk, they're expected to self—isolate for 14 days when they return. the government says that will now change, to the relief of campaigners.
9:02 am
i think this guidance was always so bizarre, so cruel and so discriminatory. i mean, it was illegally imprisoning people in care homes. it was depriving them of their liberty, doing incalculable harm. from next tuesday, official guidance will say residents who leave a care home for low—risk visits will not have to self—isolate on return. they can visit a relative's garden, parks or outdoor public spaces, and they can go indoors to vote. they will need to be accompanied by a nominated visitor or care worker. but residents who leave the home for such things as medical appointments will still have to self—isolate upon return. guidance in scotland, wales and northern ireland say that visits out should be assessed according to the local situation. alison holt, bbc news.

but talking to the local community, thatis but talking to the local community, that is very worrying because they are desperate for answers and this is a very tight—knit community, a very small village, so everyone knows each other here and they are supporting each other but when you do speak to them, they are worrying if it is safe for them to go out with saying they are not advising people to stay at home but their messages people should be vigilant. families in israel have begun burying their loved ones after at least 45 people died in a crush at a crowded jewish festival. 150 people were injured in the tragedy. prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who visited mount meron where the accident took place, has promised an inquiry into what happened. scientists investigating the plastic waste drifting in the oceans say they ve discovered more about where it comes from. they believe they ve identified the rivers which they think are responsible for the vast majority of pollution. the research was led by the ocean cleanup project, which is based in rotterdam. celebrities, including

sir eltonjohn, liz hurley and sir lenny henry, havejoined forces to tackle coronavirus vaccine hesitancy and misinformation in a new video. it comes as latest figures show 95% of over—45s in england have received at least one dose of a jab. abi smitton has more. my name is eltonjohn. he's just one of the famous faces encouraging people to take up the offer of a coronavirus vaccine. it's really important that people of all ages get the jab! the vaccination roll—out has seen the nhs and volunteers working around the clock to deliver doses to millions. infection rates in england have plummeted to levels last seen at the start of september, and people aged 40 and 41 are the latest to be invited to get a jab.
9:11 am
but there are concerns about misinformation in some communities, something addressed in the advert. people in the black, asian and ethnic minority community are 20% less likely to take up the vaccine. nhs england says the uptake of the vaccine has improved among all ethnic minorities and hopes the video continues to reassure people that the jab is safe and effective. so roll up your sleeve, it's notjust your own life you'll be saving, its other people's lives too. good? very good, your majesty. the race is on. the government set a target to offer a vaccine to all adults in the uk by the end ofjuly. there is now an added sprinkle of stardust to help get there. i think i was good in there. i hope i get thejob. 11 pennants and asked nine is the time _ 11 pennants and asked nine is the time -- — 11 pennants and asked nine is the time -- 11— 11 pennants and asked nine is the time —— 11 minutes past nine at the time _ time —— 11 minutes past nine at the time some — time —— 11 minutes past nine at the time. some sunshine out there. look

about how fundamentally the virus as is and as things open up a bit more, they are is more in these conversations of evil talking literally about it and not domestic homes and what they can do. do you want to go through some of the basics for us? irate want to go through some of the basics for us?— want to go through some of the basics for us? we know this is a respiratory _ basics for us? we know this is a respiratory infection. _ basics for us? we know this is a respiratory infection. it's - basics for us? we know this is a j respiratory infection. it's people really were particles and small particles of water which come from the evidence but those droplets of water. if you read those particles out outside, they are very quickly dried up by warm air, blown away by the wind and you do not infect other people so the risk of transmission is very low on the outside but inside is a different matter because there seems to be recycled, it tends to be... with educational centres,
9:25 am
in the home. we have unfortunately created under certain circumstances perfect stew pot. over our conditions in the office space and keeping the environment humane to provide the right amount of oxygen to keep people alive and this is breeding the perfect infection ground. it has been thought through about how we minimise transmission so people are looking very aggressively at this question and particularly in hospital where we could start to use airflow far more effectively and filtered airflow to sort the rates of transmission in the spaces like blowing and filtered, clean air above desk spaces and pulling the air out through the floor meaning the people are effectively protected in a shower of thin air in the environment and adding to that things like ultraviolet air
9:26 am
cleansers where you use a particular regime of ultraviolet light that would demolish the genetic material of infectious diseases all viruses infect and clean up the air so it does not get recirculated and infect other people and that is under serious consideration at the moment. certainly the hospital i work with are taking this seriously but we have this period over the summer where we have very low levels of virus and a low pressure and we have an opportunity at the moment to make changes which could protect us for the forthcoming winter and we could have a long—term beneficial... going forward so we hope we can implement the and they can transfer for all kinds of respiratory infections in the future. we: kinds of respiratory infections in the future-— the future. it's funny how office saces the future. it's funny how office spaces have _ the future. it's funny how office spaces have to _ the future. it's funny how office spaces have to develop - the future. it's funny how office spaces have to develop now- the future. it's funny how office - spaces have to develop now because the pandemic dot might not necessarily in negative way. no trick questions here but i don't know if you can give a concrete answer to this. linda is one of

many, dozens of people were e—mailing and along these lines about when she can visit her family in northern ireland and when they can come to her in derbyshire. she has a flight booked forjuly one which she hopes to use so, linda... from linda to linda, i really hope linda can take that night on the 1st ofjuly but what i would say at the moment in terms of the guidance for the devolved nations as you can move between england, scotland and wales at the moment so that fairly straightforward if you want to visit a family member, of course you can't stay overnight and that support to emphasise but you could see them in theory. what northern ireland have said at the moment is only essential travel in and out but the government there will be looking again at this on may 13, so we do expect much more information for people... i know the sort of frustration and as chris and i repeatedly said, if we keep the incidents and prevalence of this disease low the community which it
9:28 am
is, there is only one in 1000 people from the last infection survey estimated to have the virus in england, then we can open up including domestic travel, so i really have that can go ahead and july really have that can go ahead and july one is far enough in the future so fingers crossed.— so fingers crossed. there was lots of attention _ so fingers crossed. there was lots of attention on _ so fingers crossed. there was lots of attention on the _ so fingers crossed. there was lots of attention on the possibility - so fingers crossed. there was lots of attention on the possibility of l of attention on the possibility of foreign travel, holidays, and if you look at the papers today, a lot of speculation. we have the road map with the not before dates that apply. what are the things people should be looking for? this ultimately, as people said many times before, we are only safe and you're all safe. the country you're going to see? . let me in on the thinking about. irate going to see? . let me in on the thinking about.— going to see? . let me in on the thinkint about. . ,, ., ., ., , thinking about. we spend an enormous amount of money. _ thinking about. we spend an enormous amount of money, we've _ thinking about. we spend an enormous amount of money, we've gone - thinking about. we spend an enormous amount of money, we've gone through| amount of money, we've gone through an enormous amount of pain to render our country now having a very high rate of nation and a low rate of spread. it is a theoretical risk
9:29 am
that you could import a virus capable of... and the best way to approach that is to see countries that have a lower rate. infecting you with the virus. or reform the virus that might be able to surmount vaccination. what we have now is a list of people on the traffic light system and they have a minimum level of testing and scrutiny apply to the people coming to them and going home. that is an outbound test to satisfy those countries and an inbound, pre—flight test and one when you get home but otherwise business as usual. countries on the other end of the spectrum, red list where there high levels of disease, transmission, very high likelihood confirm the presence of so virus including those variants of concern
9:30 am
and of note to be able to surmount the vaccines, they have different... and if you transit through one of those, then you have the government approved hotel at considerable expense. that would also be covered by a testing regime. the amber countries would also have areas where there is an uncertainty about high level. or whether there was a risk that you could run into people who have those sorts of variants, and there is a large number of countries possibly even in the united states and across europe who would fit at. this is always a moving target. that will talk about what the testing regime will comprise and it is about ringback

9:37 am
and the strength of the pack, i've always thought and still think it's something powerful, as you can see. maybe we can ask those platforms and social media, why are they not doing way more to stop what's happening on their platforms and do way more to find out who are behind those accounts? hundreds of snooker fans will be settling into their seats right now at the crucible, with the world championship, semifinals set to resume at ten o'clock on bbc two, as last year's beaten finallist karren wilson tries to end the resilience of shaun murphy, who took the last two frames of yesterday's session to stay in contention, with the crowd at 75% capacity for these semis. while there was quite a turnaround in the other match, with stewart bingham, fighting back to lead 13—11. no wonder mark selby, looked so glum, especially as bingham, who's nickname is "ballrun" because his fellow pros believe he often gets the rub of the green,
9:38 am
and this was proof, — the pink rebounding off five cushions before eventually dropping in. he leads by two going into this afternoon's final session today — with 17 the target. now, just a little warning, some of the following pictures may make you want to travel. a british man has entered the record books for becoming the first person to circumnavigate the earth on something that's also been described as a flying motorbike — an "autogyro". you can see his route here, from basingstoke all the way across europe, russia and back across the top to basingstoke again. now, james ketchell made the epic journey before the first lockdown, but has now finally received the official guinness world record. i went to hampshire to meet him and, of course, tojoin him on his latest flight. first seen in a james bond film in the 1960s, this is an autogyro, and the 21st century one took anotherjames, ketchall, around the world.
9:39 am
it took him 175 successive days, flying for hours on end. and not in a plane with wings. it's not a helicopter, either, because the power doesn't come from the big rotor on top, instead from the propeller and engine out the back, like a flying motorbike, he says. and just like on a bike, he was exposed to the elements, at 1000 feet or more, some of the world's most dramatic and hostile environments. passing many famous landmarks, sharing the wilderness with magnificent creatures. and enjoying lunch on the fly, a sandwich here over quebec. from basingstoke to the bering strait, then landing in every us state before crossing the top of the atlantic again back home. the first person ever to do this, earning him a place now
9:40 am
in the guinness world record books. it was an amazing feeling. it was all very surreal, but i somehow managed to get around the world. i thought to be honest i had bitten off more than i could chew to begin with, i really did. at times i thought, "i don't know if i can do this." when you fly this, you're sort of running on adrenaline, and you can't make a mistake. gravity will kill you. especially risky when lightning meant he had to make an emergency landing on an empty highway in alaska. whoa! you see that? thunder roars. james is used to adversity. his auto gyro success was not his first challenge and he only learned to fly in 2017 after previously cycling around the world and then scaling mount everest. he wanted to use this journey to inspire young people across the world, so he stopped off at schools like this one in siberia, having struggled himself
9:41 am
when he was at school. the real mission was to inspire a million young people to pursue their own goals and dreams. when i was at school i never really had any real drive and ambition, but then, in time, you find the things that you are passionate about, and i say to young people that everyone is good at something. there we are, seat belt on. it does feel like sitting on the back of a bike. just your feet there. i won't be clinging onto james' back, that's the main difference. and yes, open plan, as they say. it doesn't take long to be flying higher, and i did certainly feel closer to the elements. but as hair—raising as it looks, an auto gyro is surprisingly stable and agile, as james was keen to prove. i felt some g—forces as we twisted and turned over the fields, trying to understand the science behind it as it took my breath away. you can't stall this aircraft.
9:42 am
the fact that you've got thin little rotors that cut through the air very efficiently, and not really subject to turbulence in the same way a fixed wing aircraft would be, it really makes them very manoeuvrable. you can fly very, very slow, and you can do things in this aircraft that you just cannot do any other aircraft. the direction, speed and height were all controlled by a joystick, and it's regarded as one of the easier and relatively cheaper forms of flying to learn. and while being stirred, i was not too shaken, as we finally touched down. the versatility, the agility, absolutely incredible. and the skills of the pilot, james. this spring, james has also been awarded the seagrave trophy, which recognises outstanding skill, courage and initiative on land, in the air and on water, and that's next forjames: sailing around the world with a crew of people from disadvantaged grounds. so it seems it won't be the last time we see james flying in the face of adversity.
9:43 am
if you want to read more about james' journey, his latest book is called it s all mental: a story of resilience and determination in your mind. it was a unique experience for me, it felt like a motorbike, the way you twist and turn, but in the air. but he had incredible control because of the rotor on top, which enables you to get direction and stability even in winter. {line enables you to get direction and stability even in winter. one thing i didn't realise _ stability even in winter. one thing i didn't realise is _ stability even in winter. one thing i didn't realise is you _ stability even in winter. one thing i didn't realise is you travelled - i didn't realise is you travelled that 100 mph. fist i didn't realise is you travelled that 100 mph.— i didn't realise is you travelled that 100 mph. i didn't realise is you travelled that100 mh.

ones, but obviously unable to because of the isolation rules? earlier on your programme somebody was talking about safeguarding the country, if you are coming back. way like india. it is rather perverse at the moment if you return from india you have to isolate for ten days, but if a daughter takes her mother for a walk around the park, her mother has to go back and isolate in her room for two weeks. this was a rule that was introduced on the 12th of april, and frankly it was poorly considered. it is a great relief to hear that it is going on tuesday. tell us about how this will work in practice, because the rules are changing but there are rules within the new restrictions, and it is clearly very important that those are adhered to.— clearly very important that those are adhered to. obviously we are slowly calming — are adhered to. obviously we are slowly calming out _ are adhered to. obviously we are slowly calming out of— are adhered to. obviously we are slowly calming out of what - are adhered to. obviously we are slowly calming out of what has i are adhered to. obviously we are -

slowly calming out of what has been, for the care sector, and absolute nightmare. —— coming out. with every care home operator, we have to operate with individual risk assessment and not every home is in exactly the same type of condition. what we have had is an allowance of family members to visit inside the care homes and that has now to a level of potentially one essential caregiver and may be on top of that opted to other visitors any number of times per week. dash might opt to two other visitors. so you have archery for a number of weeks now got an allowance of up to 300 family members visiting and obviously you are wearing ppe, having a lateral flow testing on each visit, but in the home you are able to hold hands with your mum or dad, add that is a
9:47 am
great progress from last year when you couldn't see your mum and dad for almost a year. what was inconsistent was the fact that, for the rest of the public, we are being told it is safer to go outside, do not go indoors for meetings, have a coffee, coffee shop on the other around our, go for a picnic in the park, but we have been saying the opposite in care homes that it is safe to visit inside but not outside. and even things, just to make a quick point, even things like a routine hospital visit that somebody has to have, if they then go back to the home they have to isolate for two weeks, i'd it was ill considered entities going to to is going. ill considered entities going to to is ttoin. ., , ill considered entities going to to is ttoin. ., i ., ill considered entities going to to isttoin. ., i ., ill considered entities going to to isttoin. ., , ., ., is going. partly through some of the practicalities- _ is going. partly through some of the practicalities. i— is going. partly through some of the practicalities. i am _ is going. partly through some of the practicalities. i am cautioned - is going. partly through some of the practicalities. i am cautioned with i practicalities. i am cautioned with what i'm saying because those family members all of the once buggy the people who care most for their family member in a care home, when
9:48 am
they leave a care to a public park or garden, what they care home is doing is trusting those family members to do the right thing, they are not going to get to the garden and say, it is a bit cold, let's go indoors. there is a big level of trust, and as i say, obviously these are the people who care most about their loved ones.— their loved ones. yes, there has to be a hith their loved ones. yes, there has to be a high level— their loved ones. yes, there has to be a high level of— their loved ones. yes, there has to be a high level of trust, _ their loved ones. yes, there has to be a high level of trust, recently i be a high level of trust, recently the rules about lateral flow testing has changed, so rather than asking our teams to do the lateral flow test, a family member visiting the home, the loved one can do the test in their own home, and then visit their mother orfather. in their own home, and then visit their mother or father. so there is a high level of trust. we know for example lateral flow tester to s have a 50% accuracy rate so there is
9:49 am
a russian roulette when you are allowing people into the building and potentially letting covid—19 back through the door. if you are going out for a walk around the park or sitting outside a coffee shop, the risk of picking up the virus is obviously massively reduced. the only issue is if somebody reaches that trust and doesn't follow the rules, and i think we would have sympathy if it was a rule that said you have to isolate if you have gone indoors for a birthday party or are reconnecting with the family in greater numbers. but to go on a supervised stroll around the park or has has been talked about, to actually go out and place a vote, to then have two weeks in isolation afterwards was a measure to form. i think we are now rebalancing its which is great to see. like think we are now rebalancing its which is great to see.— think we are now rebalancing its which is great to see. like you very much for your— which is great to see. like you very
