this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 8. an end to care home isolation — residents in england will soon be able to take low—risk trips without having to self—isolate. the difference in my mother is remarkable and it has been commented on. the light is back on in her eyes. india records 400,000 coronavirus cases in a single day as oxygen supplies in one hospital run out. people from a south asian background were at greater risk of hospitalisation and death in the second wave of covid — that's according to a new study. five people, including a 16—year—old boy, are arrested on terrorism offences in west yorkshire,

wiltshire and north wales. pulling the plug — summerfestivals are being called off because they can't get covid cancellation insurance. and, quack—ing the puzzle of how to safely remove this family of ducks from a ninth floor balcony. good evening. residents of care homes in england will be able to go out for walks and visit relatives�* gardens without having to self—isolate afterwards following new rules which come into force on tuesday. the government was facing legal action over the issue after the charity, john s campaign, which pushes for better visiting rights, argued that care home residents were being discriminated against. our health correspondent,
8:02 pm
jim reed reports. john kemp's mother sheila has lived in a care home in eastbourne for the last two years. the 92—year—old has seen her family recently, but sitting two metres apart, wearing ppe. from tuesday, they can walk together on the seafront again. with mother it makes it she can actually go out, get into the fresh air, be able to go on the seafront, see people, have a cup of coffee, a cup of tea somewhere. 0bviously spending quality time rather than time with ppe in between us, and again just spending time together and reflecting on the past and the future as well. it's exactly three months since all care home residents should have been offered a first dose of the covid vaccine in england. with infections now down to levels seen last summer, the government says it's time to relax the strict rules around trips outside the home.
8:03 pm
the majority of care home residents not only have had their first dose, but also their second dose, so we can take these sort of cautious steps forward, and, as i say, another step back towards normal. we look forward to being able to do more opening up in the weeks ahead. from tuesday, residents who leave a care home in england will no longer have to self—isolate for m days on their return. they can visit a relative�*s garden, a park, or another outdoor space, and they will be able to go inside to vote. but if they leave they'll still have to be accompanied by a visitor or care worker and those who leave for a medical appointment will still have to self—isolate. the change comes after a legal challenge from campaigners who called the existing restrictions barbaric. they welcomed the move but said it's come far too late. 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
8:04 pm
of their liberty, it was doing incalculable harms. residents of scottish and welsh care homes are already able to meet outside without needing to self—isolate. while in northern ireland, outdoor visiting is allowed in homes that do not have a covid outbreak. jim reed, bbc news. west end star, ruthie henshall�*s mother, lives in a care home. this was her reaction to the rule change. the cases of covid, ask any of the care homes who have been opening up, the difference in my mother is remarkable. and it has been commented on. the light is back in her eyes. she needs herfamily around her, she needs to touch more than anything. she moans with delight when i hug her and touch her, and i go and feed her and read
8:05 pm
to her, and why shouldn't they have their human rights, which is to have other people... we are allowed to go outside with six people now and it will continue to open up. give the care home residents of the same. give them a life, because they haven't got a life. my mother is in her room most of the time now. they cannot cope, trying to get people in and out for visits, and it is a half—hour visit my sister gets once every two or three weeks because there are too many people trying to get in and visit with all the covid restrictions. that is not a meaningful visit, restrictions. that is not a meaningfulvisit, behind restrictions. that is not a meaningful visit, behind a screen for half an hour once every three weeks. a little earlier we heard from the chair of the independent care group, mike padgham. he asked for patience from the public this bank holiday weekend as staff try to implement the new guidance over the coming days.

8:10 pm
15 deaths were announced every day. the total number is now 127,524. as for vaccinations, a total ofjust over 34.3 million people have had their first dose of a covid vaccine. and over 1a.9 million people have had both doses and are now fully vaccinated. people from a south asian background experienced greater levels of covid infection, severe disease and death during the second wave of the pandemic compared to other ethnic groups. that's according to a new study in the lancet. nearly all ethnic minority groups in england were disproportionally affected in the first wave. but the disparity widened among south asian groups in the second wave, with health factors and household size being highlighted by scientists as possible explanations.

the covid situation in india continues to worsen as more than 400,000 infections have been reported in a single day. the country's hospitals are still struggling with a shortage of oxygen and beds and a vaccination programme hampered by a lack of supplies. australia has now banned its own citizens entering the country on their return from india. devina gupta reports. 400,000 and counting. surging covid cases now making inroads in india's hinterland. these villagers in the eastern indian state of 0disha are living in fear. people here are so poor that they can't afford a proper mask, let alone expensive treatment. now three people have tested positive. translation: there are no facilities for oxygen in our village. _ we have to go to the city, but how
8:12 pm
can we when there is a shortage, even in city hospitals? and his concern echoed in this private hospital in delhi where 12 people lost their lives when the oxygen stock ran out. translation: we begged them to arrange oxygen i from anywhere that they could. during that time, there was a gap of about 45 minutes, when the stock ran out. despite this, we failed. this is a warning that india is running out of time to save lives, as the virus continues to challenge the inadequate health infrastructure here. experts believe the country needs a national lockdown to prepare better and break the cycle but so far india's prime minister has opposed this idea, emphasising on vaccinating more people. in fact, in an ambitious plan, he has expanded the vaccination drive to all adults above 18 years.
8:13 pm
and with an estimated 600 million more people asking forjabs, most vaccine centres have run out of stocks. translation: we were told that it | would be a first come first served | thing here but the vaccination centre is deserted. we will see what we are going to do, whether we will get it or not. the government here continues to deny there is a vaccine shortage. but as cases climb, most nations are closing their borders for india. for now, those living here are betting against odds for a vaccine to get a fighting chance against this pandemic. devina gupta, bbc news, delhi. earlier this evening, i spoke to the founder of the humanitarian charity, khalsa aid, ravi singh. he told me of the work his volunteers are doing to get life—saving oxygen to those who need it in india. today as we speak there is a virgin atlantic flight about to take off

8:16 pm
against actor noel clarke. it comes after 20 women accused mr clarke of sexual harassment and bullying. he has "vehemently" denied any sexual misconduct or criminal wrongdoing. the met police said, officers were assessing the information received on the 21st of april but there was currently no investigation. the bodies of 32 people killed at a jewish pilgrimage site in israel, have been identified. at least 45 people were crushed to death and another 150 injured, in the tragedy at the festival, which was being held near mount meron. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, who visited the scene yesterday, has promised an inquiry into what happened. this is the scene live in tel aviv where mourners have gathered in memory of those who lost their lives in that crush.
8:17 pm
i don't know if you can see with some of those sitting on the ground and candles lit, you can make out the 45, which refers to the number of people who died, and the star of david as well. the headlines on bbc news. from tuesday care home residents in england will be able to visit relatives without having to self—isolate when they return. india becomes the first country to record 400,000 coronavirus infections in a single day. five people are arrested on suspicion of terror offences, including a 16—year—old boy, as police target three locations across the uk. we stay with that story. police have arrested five people, including a 16—year—old boy, in west yorkshire, wiltshire and north wales on suspicion of terrorism offences. the arrests were made at addresses in keighley,
8:18 pm
swindon and anglesey this morning. officers say the arrests are part of an ongoing investigation into right wing terrorism. all five suspects have been taken to a police station in west yorkshire for questioning. two addresses in keighley have been searched. officers are continuing to search woodland in kent following the murder of a police community support officer. julia james' body was discovered in woodland near dover on tuesday. detectives say she died from serious head injuries — but have no clear suspects in the case. her family paid tribute to her saying she "was fiercely loyal" and "loved with her whole heart". peter whittlesea reports. paying tribute and leaving flowers. among the well—wishers today were members of julia james's police family. they have made the journey because the death of their colleague is personal.
8:19 pm
for us, we have come to show our support because we are part of the police family so that just means a lot to us to make sure that we are there. you know, we don't even live round here but it is such an awful thing to happen. we will do everything we can because she was just so special, and because this sort of thing just doesn't happen in kent, really, thank god. so i think, yeah, we will get to the bottom of it. they will do everything they can, everything they can. look at the amount of officers already working on it. the detectives going in and out of the single do everything they can. julia james's body was discovered four days ago. kent police confirmed yesterday that there are extra pressures when investigating the death of one of their own. this is a particularly challenging and poignant for staff working on the case who knew her professionally or potentially, of course, socially.
8:20 pm
as well as paying a personal tribute her family have launched an appeal calling for anyone with any information, however insignificant, to contact the police to help get justice forjulia. a campaign has been launched to raise money to build a memorial in st paul's cathedral to those who've died as a result of coronavirus. costing 2.3 million, it would be the first new structure of its kind inside st paul's for 150 years. charlotte wright reports. for centuries, st paul's cathedral has been a place to reflect on significant international events, which is why campaigners say it's a fitting site for this, a covid memorial. designed by an architect who himself lost his mother during the pandemic. there are now over 100,000 other families who will have gone through that same sense
8:21 pm
of dislocating anguish. and, for us, i think a memorial could not be more important. the plan is to build the memorial here at the north door, the site of a porch that was bombed during world war ii. and visitors will walk through to an area of reflection, where there will be a digital book of condolence and they can call up entries, including photos and epitaphs. more than 7,300 names have already been uploaded to the online book. it's a different way of doing memorials, but it's having a physical and an online memorial together, which is a really... it's a new thing for us, but we think it means that thousands and thousands of people can be remembered. 0rganisers are hoping to raise £2.3 million to pay for the structure and install it next year. they say this would be a monument for all, regardless of faith or background. charlotte wright, bbc news.

nightclubbing returned to liverpool last night — only a trial — but the first time people have been allowed on to the dancefloor since the pandemic began. and tomorrow it's the turn of live music as a festival will be held in the city with an audience of 5,000. new research suggests a quarter of festivals with a similar capacity have already been cancelled. our business correspondent katy austin reports. boomtown in hampshire has just been called off for the second year running, blaming lack of insurance for covid—related cancellation. the sheer volume of money, we're talking millions of outlay, that we have to commit to, all these costs ahead of the event, itjust became very evident that we were just in an impossible position without being able to have the backing of insurance to mitigate the risks. 0ne trade body says around a quarter of larger festivals have already
8:23 pm
decided to cancel for this year, and most of those still scheduled to go ahead are due to happen injuly and august. but it says for many of those there's still a huge amount of uncertainty. it says a government—backed insurance scheme is needed, similar to what other countries have done. and our own government has invested in a scheme for film and tv production, which we understand has been very successful. there are models, there are ways of doing it. nozstock in herefordshire is sold out for late july. how certain are you, as we stand here today, that it will go ahead? sadly, we can't be certain. we are desperate to get on with it but the issue of insurance makes it an incredibly risky venture. they say late may is the cut—off for making a final call. a government spokesperson told us it had supported festivals through the culture recovery fund and is exploring what further support it may provide. katy austin, bbc news.
