it's like holding a pristine time capsule that could shed light on our very beginnings. pieces of the meteorite are being sent to scientists all around the world. x—ray studies here will reveal exactly what it's made of. the materials that are in there are basically the ingredients, the building blocks of our solar system. so, it contains things like organic, really simple organic materials. it contains minerals that contain water and so it's a really important tool for understanding how we ended up with an earth like we have. so, why do we have oceans here on the earth and why do we end up with life here? scientists hope this space rock could answer these fundamental questions, thanks to the flash of luck that brought it down in the uk. rebecca morelle, bbc news. time for a look at the weather — here's tomasz. thankfully, no meteor showers in the forecast, but let's embrace the british weather this weekend,

because mother nature is going to throw almost anything at us, downpours, thunder and lightning, hail stones, and this is nothing new, low pressure will be moving across the uk on saturday and sunday, propelled by a powerfuljet stream which, crucially, isjust to the south of us, so that means that low pressure forms just to the north of the jet stream. i'll show you the pattern with cold currents of air coming in from the north, and with thejet coming in from the north, and with the jet stream coming in from the north, and with thejet stream in coming in from the north, and with the jet stream in this place, coming in from the north, and with thejet stream in this place, all thejet stream in this place, all the warmth that all of us who desperately want is deflected to the south. it is locked in this pattern and is not in a hurry to change so we are stuck with it for the time being. this is the rainfall accumulation. where we are expecting it to reign over the weekend, saturday and sunday, and the darker blues indicate more rainfall and heavier downpours as well. at the moment, slightly different picture out there, because we have a bit of a lull in the weather. yes, there are some showers around but generally speaking, we can see the

weather is pretty dry across the uk, quite dry across eastern and central areas, but the showers are across more western areas of the country with one or two thunderstorms in the forecast, for northern ireland through today. temperatures obviously disappointing, again, nothing new, something we have been used to for weeks, 11 on north sea coast and at best around 15. remember i showed you the jet stream to the south of us, pushing the weather front in our direction. the low pressures forming just to the north of the jet stream so the jet stream off—screen there, we are to the north, with this volatile air, the north, with this volatile air, the weather front moves through, and behind it through the atmosphere so widespread showers on the way on saturday. a similar pattern continues on sunday

because we are still seeing this unstable air, but the showers will not necessarily be in the same place at the same time, but look at that real rash of them so on sunday if you're outdoors and not prepared, you're outdoors and not prepared, you will prepared to run for cover, and this showery picture will continue into the next week, as well. that's it. back to you. a reminder of our top story... the government is sending extra doses of the coronavirus vaccine to bolton — one of the areas of england hit by a rising number of cases of the indian variant. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon. you're watching bbc news. the time is 1:33pm.

i'm olly foster at the bbc sport centre. portugal say that uk tourists will be allowed to enter the country from next monday if they can provide a negative covid test. that's good news for 12,000 manchester city and chelsea fans heading to the champions league final on may 29. there was some confusion last night, with the portuguese government saying that their entry restrictions were being extended until the 30th, and the suggestion that fans would only be allowed to travel on the day of the game and fly home straight afterwards. those will be lifted next week, though. there is nothing like a live experience, a live game. we know thatis experience, a live game. we know that is far better than on the telly. there will be a large number of fans who want to go there. we want to make the experience as smooth as possible. in this environment, there is no such thing as no risk international travel, and it will be a different experience. manchester city defender aymeric laporte could play for spain at next month's european championship. the frenchman was granted spanish

citizenship earlier this week laporte, who is 26, grew up in france but moved to spain as a teenager tojoin the athletic bilbao academy. he's represented france over 50 times through the age groups, but never for the senior team. fifa says he's free to play for spain if selected. liverpool managerjurgen klopp has reiterated that there's no issue with sadio mane after the forward refused to shake hands with him following last night's win at manchester united. mane only came off the bench for the last 15 minutes at old trafford, with diogojota prefferred to start up front. mane showed his frustration at full time, snubbing the german. it was an emotional game. everybody expects that we control our emotions all that was, and it doesn't work out all of was. that's the case. it happened to me as a player, it happened to me as a player, it

happened to me as a player, it happened to other players when i was their coach. so, we have so far no real chance to talk about it, but we will, and there will be nothing left, everything will be fine. there's another managerial vacancy in the women's super league. carla ward has resigned as head coach of birmingham city. she only took charge in august, but will now leave after sunday's fa cup fifth round tie at home to southampton. her tenure has been farfrom smooth. they only avoided relegation on the last day of the season, and the players have complained about their working conditions, facilities and travel restrictions compared to the men's side. ward's departure means that four of the 12 wsl clubs are now looking for a new manager. the schedule for this summer's british and irish lions tour to south africa has been tweaked. there will still be eight matches, but they will now take place in three cities rather than six to reduce the risk of covid. as it stands, the lions will play all those games behind closed doors. the tour will start injohannesburg

and pretoria, before heading to the cape town stadium for more warm—up games, and then the first test on the 24th july. the last two tests will be back injohannesburg. simona halep is in a race to be fit for the defence of her wimbledon title. the world number three has confirmed today that the injury that forced her to pull out of the italian open is a calf tear. she will almost certainly miss the french open that starts in ten days time. wimbledon starts onjune 28. halep is the defending champion from her victory in 2019. last year's tournament was cancelled. i'll have more for you in the next hour. the parents of a baby who died after medical errors have won the right to request a new inquest into his death. hayden nyugen�*s death at a london hospital was recorded as being of natural causes — after the coroner at his inquest questioned an internal nhs investigation, in which the chelsea

and westminster hospital admitted mistakes. the hospital subsequently did accept they were to blame. michael buchanan reports. even before he died, we knew for a long time that something was wrong. i whispered to alex, "he's fighting for his life." hayden nguyen was just six days old when he fell ill. his parents took him to hospital, but medics failed to properly treat his infection, and he died within hours. his body was expanding and collapsing like a bellows, he was gasping that heavily. i've never seen a body move like that. even at that point they still didn't give him oxygen, they still didn't believe that he was in shock, had been in shock for hours. the hospital, the chelsea and westminster, carried out an investigation. they found the root causes of the death were a failure to identify the signs of shock and a failure to act on abnormal test results. when they had actually completed the investigation, they sat us down and took us line by line. it was, in a way, healing,

although the content was incredibly disturbing, and it helped a little bit with the grieving process. the death went to the inquest at westminster coroner's court. unbeknown to the family, however, the coroner disagreed with the investigation�*s finding. her questions prompted the hospital to change their conclusions. in a second report, they now wrote that hayden had died of a virus which is known to have a high mortality. the coroner, shirley radcliffe, concluded hayden had died of natural causes. what the coroner did was kill hayden a second time. what the clinicians did was negligence, possibly neglect, but i don't think they did it in a premeditated fashion. i think what the coroner did was premeditated and cruel. we asked doctor shirley radcliffe to explain her behaviour, to respond to the family's concerns about what she did.

she hasn't even responded to our e—mail. peter walsh has supported scores of families who have been failed by the nhs. i've never personallyl heard of another case where the investigation _ led by the hospital trust concerned and its conclusions finding _ and admitting mistakes is overturned by the coroner. undeterred, the family fought on and sued the nhs. the hospital changed their tune again and admitted liability, confirming that hayden would have survived but for their failings. the couple are trying to build their lives with their other son, but say they need a new inquest so hayden's life and death is recognised correctly. if you read back over the conclusions, it looks like hayden was only six days old, he was very ill, he got appropriate care and he couldn't have been saved.

and that's not true, and that is what is on the record. that's not just. it's notjust. hayden's parents will shortly go to the high court to seek a new inquest. michael buchanan, bbc news. the first minister of wales made the announcement this morning that his government was reducing the alert level from three to two. he went on to explain exactly what that would mean for the people of wales. we will move to alert level two on monday next. before i say a bit more about what that means in detail and we will be considering at the next review, ijust want we will be considering at the next review, i just want to see a few

words about the india variant of the virus that has been so much in the news over the last 2a hours. this pandemic continues to be full of unpleasant twists and turns. we are closely monitoring the india variant, which has caused 26 cases in wales, but more than 1500 across our border in england. this new rating appears to spread easily from person to person, just like the kind of variant, which is now widespread in the uk, but it may travel even faster. it's really important that we continue to do everything we can to keep levels of the virus as low as we can in wales as we continue to relax restrictions on our careful step—by—step and cautious way. the uk sage committee met yesterday to discuss the india variant, and we

will follow the latest scientific advice, just as we have throughout the pandemic. let me turn now to the details of the results of a three week review. on monday, next week, as you can see on the slide, we will move to our lead level two, meaning the indoor hospitality will reopen the indoor hospitality will reopen the four groups of six people from “p the four groups of six people from up to six households, holiday accommodation can reopen fully, entertainment venues will be able to reopen, that includes cinemas, bingo halls, bowling alleys, casinos, amusement arcades, and concert halls. indoorvisitor amusement arcades, and concert halls. indoor visitor attractions can reopen, and up to 30 people will be able to take part in organise indoor activities, and up to 50 people in organise activities

outdoors. that includes wedding receptions and funeral weeks. on monday made 2a, we will lift restrictions on the overall number of indoor visitor is for people living in care homes. the next three week review will be held at the start ofjune. if the public have remains positive, we will look out will look out were that we can move to a late level one, and that will include looking at relaxing the rules further around people meeting in their own homes, increasing the number of people able to attend wedding receptions, and restarting larger events. that will build on the experience of our pilot event programme, which began yesterday. on monday next, as well, international travel will resume in england and scotland, and will restart for

people in wales. we will use the same traffic light system for international travel as other parts of the uk. this lets people know what the quarantine and testing arrangements are when they come home. it is really important that we continue to do everything we can to prevent coronavirus re—entering wales as a result of international travel. because of that, everyone returning from a green list country will have to book and pay for a test on their return, and all travellers and household members will be reminded about the availability and use of additional lateral flow tests so they can follow up that first test at home and make sure that they are keeping themselves and others safe. here in wales, we will not

adopt the english test to release scheme for travellers returning from and bottomless countries. that is because the evidence that we have is around a third of people who develop coronavirus links to travel do so five days after back in wales. i believe, as i have said many times, that if ever there was a year to holiday at home and to enjoy everything that the wonders of wales has to offer, then this surely is the year to do just that. that has to offer, then this surely is the year to do just that. the year to do 'ust that. that was the year to do 'ust that. that was the first the year to do just that. that was the first minister _ the year to do just that. that was the first minister of _ the year to do just that. that was the first minister of wales - the year to do just that. that was the first minister of wales are i the first minister of wales are urging people to stay in wales and not to holiday abroad. in the last hour, the portuguese tourist authorities have said british tourists can travel to portugalfrom monday, despite the government announcing an extension of the country's lockdown until at

least the end of may. portugal is on the uk government's "green list" for travel next week, but its state of emergency remains in place. the independent�*s travel editor, simon calder, is one of those who'd already booked a flight. this is a huge relief to thousands of people, including me. as soon as we got the green list, which was only a week ago... by the way, it also includes iceland and gibraltar, but you can only get into iceland if you have had both yourjabs. i immediately booked a flight to portugal, but yesterday everything went a little bit wrong. we were expecting confirmation that we would be allowed in from monday. at the moment, it's only essential visitors who are allowed in. we did not get that. we did get the extension of the state of calamity, which is unrelated, but understandably people thought they didn't want us.

i have been on the phone to the portuguese authorities all day, and then finally, just 20 minutes or so ago, they confirmed that we would be allowed in. the ban stops at midnight on sunday night, then the very first flight arrives at 9:05am, i calculate, on the beautiful algarve coast from manchester on monday morning. anybody, like me, who is ready to go and all packed, will now be in the exciting position of organising a pcr test, which has to be taken within 72 hours of departure. i shall be running around at the weekend in order to show it at the airport and get on the plane. i will have to have a test, it doesn't really matter what sort of test as long as it is medically certified. excitingly for portugal,

the certificate is in spanish, french and english. i also need to pre—book a pcr test for when i return back to the uk. unless i have those two pieces of evidence, i will not be allowed on the flight back to the uk. travel remains incredibly complicated. this is, as you say, the only major european country on the green list. the hope is, across travel, we will get more countries on the green list from the start ofjune. furthermore, that the testing requirements, particularly coming back into the uk, may be relaxed. at the moment, it's all systems go for portugal, thank goodness. i can't wait, frankly, to get my toes in the atlantic. simon calder, packing his bags for the trip to portugal next week. hundreds of women may have wrongly been made to wear a face mask during childbirth, a leading charity has warned. research shared exclusively with bbc

news found 160 mothers out of more than 900 who gave birth last december said they were made to wear a mask during labour. guidance published by the royal college of midwives says expectant women shouldn't have to wear any form of facial covering during labour because of the risk of harm and complications. this report from divya talwar. this is barnaby, rosie's third child. he's a healthy pandemic baby, but there were complications during his birth, and rosie was terrified he wasn't going to make it. i was convinced he would be stillborn. what was going through my mind was, actually, "this is awful, this is the end of everything for him." rosie says her difficult labour was made worse after she was told to wear a facemask while in advanced labour. she has a phobia of being sick, and says the smell of the mask made her nauseous and panic. i felt like i was dying. i thought, this is so, so painful, and i've got this mask over my face,

feeling really claustrophobic, and the mask is making me feel really nauseous and really sick, and that's making me panic as well. i was frightened then, in amongst everything else that was happening, that i was actually then going to be sick inside a mask. at any point, did you feel like you had a choice about wearing this mask? it didn't cross my mind that i was allowed to take it off. the guidance for nhs trusts was published jointly lastjuly by both the royal college of midwives and obstetricians and gynaecologists. it said women should not be asked to wear a face covering while in labour, whether it's a natural or cesarean birth, because of the potential harm. but we know that guidance isn't always being followed. i've spoken to dozens of women, some of them with conditions like asthma or anxiety, and they have all told me that they were made to wear facemasks at some point during their labour. all of them have said that theyjust didn't realise they even had a choice about it. this is natalie with her baby girl, who was born last december. natalie hasn't got any pictures from the birth. she says it was the most terrifying experience. natalie says that she was made to wear a mask

while in advanced labour. she challenged it, but was told she had to wear one. i felt completely suffocated. i'm never going to be able to forget the feeling of not being able to breathe, the fear, the panic. if i have to wear a mask, it's something that flashes back as a moment of fear, the worst fear that i've been through. while the majority of women who have given birth during the pandemic haven't had to wear a face covering, it's clear there is confusion among some maternity staff. a survey of more than 900 women who gave birth last december found almost 20% of them said they had to wear a face covering at some point during childbirth. we had one lady who vomited in her mask. we've had others unable to breathe. these are things that are actually avoidable, and that's just by simply following the guidance. we asked for response from the nhs trusts involved,

and they said they follow the guidance and would not expect a woman in childbirth to wear a mask, and there may be rare cases where staff may have made an error. rosie says she just wants expectant mums to be aware of the latest guidance so they can avoid the unnecessary confusion and distress she faced. during the winter, british sailor pip hare captivated audiences around the world — including hollywood star russell crowe — with her gruelling solo round the world yacht race. she's only the eighth woman to ever finish the vendee globe race. now she's announced she's doing it all over again in 2024, with a bigger, faster boat and a properly—funded operation. our reporter, james burridge, has been speaking to her. three months on from completing one of the toughest sporting endurance races in the world, pip hare is a glutton for more punishment.

she's announced she's doing it all over again in 2024, although this time with a bigger, faster boat and a properly funded team behind her. it was a surprise for me how well i performed in that race with an old boat. i had no idea how to benchmark myself against my competitors, and i think i'vejust got more confidence now about my ability to smash it out of the park for my next one. i wasjust so, so happy and so positive and so proud of the race that we managed on, you know, the oldest boat, second oldest boat in the fleet, a really small budget and a really small team, so that feeling just kind of was enhanced and i was like, right, i have to do this again, i've got so much more to give. during her four months at sea, pip documented her entire voyage via social media, and her adventures won a global audience, including hollywood superstar russell crowe, who sent her a surprise birthday message.

i'm just sitting here thinking about the incredible challenge in front of you, how overwhelming that must feel some days. just keep going. what an amazing feeling you're going to have when you can say you've claimed the globe. that was russell... that was russell crowe! throughout, pip repeatedly demonstrated her remarkable resilience and tenacity, be it changing rudders in arctic gales or climbing an 85—foot mast. so how has she coped with being back on dry land? the return has been difficult for me, because i kind of went from all of this incredible freedom from having the world, if you like, at my feet, being able to go anywhere and do anything, i came back into britain in lockdown, and so psychologically that was like running into a brick wall, really. has your body taken quite a pasting? yes, definitely.

i mean, my body, i lost nearly ten kilos during that race and that was... that has been difficult to overcome. it's still hard for me to understand how me, just me, has been able to, you know, have an impact on so many people. it's really humbling and i'm on edge. training starts this summer when pip receives her new abode. receives her new boat. she has three years to hone and tone her craft as she vows to become the first british sailor to bring home the trophy. james burridge, bbc news. martin mobley be here at two o'clock to navigate a course through all the news events of the afternoon. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. any plans this weekend, just be prepared to embrace at the british weather. some sunshine in the

forecast, but also towering storm clouds, thunder and lightning and downpours with that, also gusty winds. low pressure will be moving across the uk during saturday and sunday, i know this is nothing new. it's been propelled by a jet stream south of us, meaning that we are in the colder air. colder air streams come in from the north, low pressure reforms just to the north of the jet stream, and then all the warmth that would like is being deflected to the south, and we are stuck with this parting which is not expected to change any time soon. on the map, where as blue as word it will be raining, where the blues are darker is where the rains will be heaviest through the weekend. at the moment, there is a bit of a lull in the weathered. we have some showers around, but fewer downpours compared to yesterday. through the latter

part of the afternoon, showers across some western and southern areas, but many of us getting away with a dry day. the temperature is only around 11 degrees. the jet stream to the south of us is pushing a weather front in our direction, so downpours are expected earlier in the morning across some south—western areas of the uk. a cloudy and that i start across many eastern areas. through saturday, that weather front moves northwards. behind it is a very volatile atmosphere, the kind of atmosphere that generates those big tall cumulonimbus clouds. sunshine as well, so it will not be raining all the time, just that they showers will be very frequent on saturday and sunday. sunday is going to be a similar day, it does not mean that the showers will occur at exactly

the showers will occur at exactly the same time in at the same place, but the general picture is a real rash of them across the uk. it will be quite if we can for some of us, be quite if we can for some of us, be prepared.

this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall. the headlines... the government sends more doses of the coronavirus vaccine to bolton, one of the areas of england hit by the indian variant. people in those regions may also be given their second vaccination sooner, as it's feared the indian variant could be more transmissible. we've sent more doses to bolton and, of course, we will obviously follow the clinical advice, if they think that it would help if we shortened the interval period. portugal say british holiday—makers can visit the country from monday, despite the government in lisbon extending its state of emergency. meanwhile, people in wales are being told to holiday at home this year and not travel abroad unless they really need to. a night of heavy israeli attacks on the gaza strip, from air, land and sea. while hamas militants continue to fire rockets across the border.
