in correspondent helen catt. bolton this weekend eff continue in bolton this weekend efforts continue to tackle the spread of the variant of coronavirus which first emerged in india, encouraging more people to take up the vaccine. there is surge testing, measures the government says means you can go ahead and easing the restrictions in england tomorrow despite fears of how quickly the new variant is spreading. i how quickly the new variant is spreading-— how quickly the new variant is sreadin. . spreading. i am confident we can take the step _ spreading. i am confident we can take the step tomorrow, - spreading. i am confident we can take the step tomorrow, but - spreading. i am confident we can take the step tomorrow, but we | take the step tomorrow, but we should all be careful about how we take that step. you still shouldn't spend a lot of time in close proximity, make sure ventilation is good. we all know what we can do and take personal responsibility. it means restaurants can welcome back customers indoors. up to six people can meet in private homes and hugging is back. but there is nervousness. scientists from sage has warned if the variant turns out to be a0 to 50% more transmissible than the kent variant, the could be

this morning just after two o'clock and it literally shook the whole bed. we felt like we were going through the floor. and then we jumped out of bed and wejust ran, just to see what was going on. it's just awful. this morning it was confirmed that a child had sadly died. four adults, two men and two women are being treated in hospital. two of them have been seriously injured. this afternoon, the fire service will use dogs to make one final check of the rubble. we are hopeful that we have found those people who were injured or sadly deceased as a consequence of what has happened. but we obviously are continuing, but at the moment we think we have got everybody out. a number of people evacuated from their homes overnight must now await an assessment of the damage to numerous houses in the area before being allowed to return. paul murphy, bbc news, heysham. the united nations security council meets today to discuss the escalating violence between israel and the palestinian

militant group, hamas. the israeli military has carried out more air strikes on gaza — while hamas launched further rocket attacks on southern israel. paul adams reports from jerusalem. israel says it has nothing against the people of gaza. but through the long hours of another hellish night, that's not how it seems to them. women and children once again caught up in the mayhem. in crowded, impoverished gaza, nowhere is safe. israel insists it's only attacking hamas. 0vernight it hit the homes of the group's leader in gaza, yahya sinwar, and his brother. it says it killed 30 key members of hamas and the other main militant group, islamichhad. and it says almost half of those killed so far

were combatants, not civilians. it's a hard claim to verify — hamas is very secretive. how long will this go on? pressure for it to end is building, but israel says it's up to hamas. israel will continue hitting the hamas terror group until we feel and understand that we reached our objectives. you know, hamas decided to start this round, but they are not going to decide when to end it. they can't just shoot rockets on israeli citizens unprovoked and then hope for the best. but the rockets are still flying. hamas says it can keep this up for months. it almost certainly can't, but the group is not about to admit defeat. an american envoy has been here since friday. diplomatic efforts are gathering pace but israel says it has more to do in gaza. this isn't over yet. paul adams, bbc news, jerusalem. earlier this year, europe s vaccination roll—out

was facing criticism for being too slow and lagging behind the uk and the us. just a few months later, some eu countries have turned their programmes around and are delivering jabs at record rates, as our europe correspondent jean mackenzie reports. the joy of alfresco dining in rome. 0nly last month this was unimaginable. here and across europe infections raged while vaccination stumbled. this was belgium's largest vaccination centre. when we visited at the end of february — empty. now they are vaccinating nearly 3000 people a day. i think it's a bit busier than the last time we met each other, so it's good news. we are really doing well now. we have eight hours a day that

are very well filled, so we are also at a very good, smooth capacity, good flow, as you can see. early on there were production delays, glitches in supply chains, and these put europe massively behind, but in the past couple of months there has been a remarkable turnaround. the vaccines are flowing freely, and more than a third of people in europe have now had their first dose. at this estate in neighbouring germany, authorities are trying to vaccinate everyone regardless of age. at one point, the country was sitting on masses of unused doses, but this week it administered a record 1.3 million vaccines in a single day. the crowded estate, which is home to a0 nationalities,

has been a hotspot for infections, but still many don't want get vaccinated. christian is here to convince them. if we don't get every person vaccinated, this pandemic will keep on going and nobody has the patience for it any more. doctors are giving lessons on how the vaccines work, but this women, who has recently moved with her daughters from romania, is still scared. she's never had a vaccine before. with shots now in solid supply, reaching the reluctant is the next challenge. europe is yet to reach that magical tipping point that would protect it from another deadly surge, but at this pace it could come soon, in time for summer on the beaches of spain. jean mckenzie, bbc news. that's it. the next news on bbc one is at 5:35. bye for now.

hello, i'mjane dougall with your latest sports news. let's take you straight to the relegation battle in scotland on the final day of the season where hamilton accies need to beat kilmarnock by nine goals if they are to avoid automatic relegation. it's not looking good for them, they are 2—0 down to kilmarnock, who are fighting for survival themselves. they're three points behind ross county, but have a better goal difference. kilmarnock must hope ross county lose and they beat hamilton. ross county will be safe if they avoid defeat at fir park against motherwell, but they are 1—0 down, courtesy of a sam foley goal.

the first of the day's four premier league games is under way — and crystal palace are behind at home to aston villa. john mcginn getting the first for villa on 17 minutes. christian benteke then equalised, but before half time villa went ahead again through anwar el—ghazi. 2—1 to villa. later on, tottenham, liverpool and everton continue their bids to secure european football next season. the dust is still settling after an incredible day at wembley yesterday. around 20,000 fans were there for the fa cup final — and it was the most—watched football game of the season so far, with a peak bbc television audience of 9.1 million viewers. and they witnessed history, as leicester city beat chelsea 1—0, to lift the trophy for the first time. it was an emotional occasion on so many levels — not least for leicester owner aiya—watt �*top' srivadd—hana—prabha, who took over the running of the club after his father vichai died in a helicopter crash in 2018.

manager brendan rodgers was well aware of the significance of the victory. it's a historical day for the football club. winning the fa cup for the first time in their history is clearly a special day, so i'm just so happy for the players. they were so courageous in the game. for the supporters, they have lost four finals, and now the fifth time, we have got a victory. and of course for the family, it was a dream of theirs to win the fa cup, and we have been able to deliver that. chelsea women's manager emma hayes says it's their time to win the champions league. they're in gothenburg, where they face barcelona in the final tonight. it would crown a brilliant season for emma hayes's side. they've won the wsl title for a record fourth time, as well as the league cup. and with the fa cup still to play for, this could be the third trophy

of a possible quadruple. hayes says it would be phenominal for the women's game. when i talk about it being a dream, for me being in this dressing room with, as i have said, they are amazing women. they are inspiring generations, i hope. in fact, i know they are. i'm not talking about little girls here, i'm talking about boys as well, who are becoming big fans of women's football. so, the dream for me is about what i have always wanted for women's football, and being in this final after so many years with an english team not participating, i think it was about time, and, you know, i'mjust delighted that we got the opportunity. we have a blockbuster final to look forward to at the italian 0pen where novak djokovic will meet rafa nadal later, as the build—up to the french open continues. it'll be interesting to see how djokovic has coped with yesterday's schedule. after coming from a set and a break down to beat stefanos tsitsipas

in a game held up overnight, he then needed three sets to beat the home favourite lorenzo sonego. it'll be the sixth time djokovic and nadal have met in this final, and the spaniard holds the edge, with three wins so far. that's all the sport for now but over on the bbc sport website website you can follow seven matches in the fifth round of the women's fa cup. that's all the sport for now. back later. let's get more now on diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire between israel and palestinian militants in gaza. the united nations' security council will hold an emergency meeting later today. gaza's health ministry says that at least 26 people have been killed by israeli air strikes overnight on gaza city. another report is just in which says that 33 palestinians have died in

the last 2a—hour period in gaza. that is the worst daily death toll since the latest round of fighting began. hamas has retaliated with further rocket attacks. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said military action would continue until security was restored. with me now from ramallah, nour 0deh, a palestinian politician and former government spokesperson. thank you very much for being with us. do you see any way out of this fighting in the short—term? can the united nations help? can the americans help? can there be a ceasefire?— ceasefire? there has to be a ceasefire- — ceasefire? there has to be a ceasefire. the _ ceasefire? there has to be a ceasefire. the americans, . ceasefire? there has to be a| ceasefire. the americans, of ceasefire? there has to be a - ceasefire. the americans, of course, can help. without their positive engagement, the united nations will be helpless again and will fail again in fulfilling the responsibility to restore peace and security for civilians who are now

being bombarded with nowhere to go. but i think it is still unclear what kind of role the us intends to play beyond the traditional role of standing by israel, providing it with political cover and continuing to provide it with military assistance as well while it carries out these attacks. despite growing discontent and contractions in congress and the united states at large. flit congress and the united states at larae. . ., , congress and the united states at larae. _, , ,., congress and the united states at larae. , ,., , large. of course, israel says if her must stop — large. of course, israel says if her must stop firing _ large. of course, israel says if her must stop firing rockets _ large. of course, israel says if her must stop firing rockets into - must stop firing rockets into southern israel, then israel's attacks on gaza would stop straightaway. —— if hamas stop firing rockets... it straightaway. -- if hamas stop firing rockets. . ._ straightaway. -- if hamas stop firing rockets. . .— straightaway. -- if hamas stop firing rockets... if we don't count israel's firing rockets... if we don't count israel's siege _ firing rockets... if we don't count israel's siege on _ firing rockets... if we don't count israel's siege on gaza _ firing rockets... if we don't count israel's siege on gaza as - firing rockets... if we don't count israel's siege on gaza as a - firing rockets... if we don't count israel's siege on gaza as a form i firing rockets... if we don't countl israel's siege on gaza as a form of aggression, if we don't count israel's continued absolute control of every aspect of life as a form of

violence and aggression. israel have the upper hand in gaza whether rockets are fired or not. it controls everything in and out of gaza, it controls up to the number of calories people in gaza can consume, what kind of medicine is allowed in, what kind of building material is allowed in. that reality is not exactly one of peace for more than 2 million palestinians in gaza. i think in orderfor us to reach than 2 million palestinians in gaza. i think in order for us to reach a real, durable solution to the situation, which isjust devastating for civilians, we have to go a step back and ask a question, why does this keep happening? and i think the simple answer is, and the accurate answer is because palestinians have continued to be denied their basic right to be free in a state of their own. we have to be able to push

israel in a direction where it loosens its grip and ends its stranglehold on palestinian life and land and accepts a situation where there is a palestine and an israel living side by side as a and independent neighbouring states. would you say to hamas, stop firing those rockets into southern israel? evenif those rockets into southern israel? even if i did, i know that the israeli strikes would not stop and the israeli aggression on gaza would not stop. there are no rockets being fired in the west bank and yet we bid farewell to more than 13 young palestinian men in the past two days. most of them were shot by israeli forces in the upper part of the body. a lot of them and the head. these are people who are either bystanders or participating in non—violent protest. again, i go back to that reality of occupation, of absolute control. it is not about

her mass because it doesn't always start with a mass. —— it's not about hamas, because it doesn't always start with hamas. this has been going on for more than half a century. white maxi israelis are saying the only people they are hamas and military targets. well, more than half of the victims so far are women and children. unless the israelis are making this preposterous claim that these are women and children are hamas fighters, i would women and children are hamas fighters, iwould invite women and children are hamas fighters, i would invite them to recheck first of their humanity and than their numbers.— than their numbers. thank you for bein: with than their numbers. thank you for being with us- _ than their numbers. thank you for being with us. a _ than their numbers. thank you for being with us. a palestinian - being with us. a palestinian politician and former government spokesperson. we will go to jerusalem now and speak to the bbc�*s paul adams. what is the latest on the fighting. because we were reading reports that as many as 33

palestinians have died in gaza. that would make it the worst day in terms of loss of light in this latest wave of loss of light in this latest wave of violence. of loss of light in this latest wave of violence-— of loss of light in this latest wave ofviolence. , . ., , .,~ , of violence. yes, it certainly makes it the worst — of violence. yes, it certainly makes it the worst at _ of violence. yes, it certainly makes it the worst at night _ of violence. yes, it certainly makes it the worst at night so _ of violence. yes, it certainly makes it the worst at night so far. - of violence. yes, it certainly makes it the worst at night so far. the - it the worst at night so far. the death toll has definitely climbed quite sharply in the last couple of days. we have seen no it lapped up in the rocket fire from gaza, although i don't think there have been any reported fatalities on the israeli side in the latest rockets, one of which fell just a couple of hours ago. it doesn't look like it is ending. it is possibly indicative of the fact that israelis recognise time may be running out for them to inflict damage on hamas before international pressure on them to stop becomes too intense. there are mediation efforts under way. there is an american envoy here. the americans have been extremely understanding of the israeli position so far. but with the humanitarian situation worsening in

gaza with the un warning that fuel is running out and they can't get in to a population, 80% of whom are dependent on aid, then it may be that time is running out for this operation. that time is running out for this operation-— that time is running out for this oeration. ~ ., ., , ., operation. what sort of efforts are under way to _ operation. what sort of efforts are under way to try — operation. what sort of efforts are under way to try and _ operation. what sort of efforts are under way to try and stop - operation. what sort of efforts are under way to try and stop the - under way to try and stop the fighting by the americans and the united nations?— united nations? well, the united nations are _ united nations? well, the united nations are due _ united nations? well, the united nations are due to _ united nations? well, the united nations are due to discuss - united nations? well, the united nations are due to discuss it - united nations? well, the united| nations are due to discuss it later today. so far, the americans have blocked any effort to issue a statement by the un security council. i will imagine there would be words at the end of today's meeting, but i don't think it would move the dial very much. all attention is what is going on here in the region. the american envoy to the israeli defence minister this morning. interestingly, he had a meeting with israeli arabs yesterday, which was a bit of a departure. but, of course, the americans don't have any direct contact with hamas, an organisation

which they, like israel, and many other countries, regarded as a terrorist organisation. they will be very dependent on the offices of countries like egypt and to mediate and find a way out. it is a complicated diplomatic set of communication and it may take some time before that yield any results. as i said earlier, it really welcome either when hamas decides to stop firing rockets, or when israel feels it has done enough damage to stop this happening again for many years. in terms of the longer term peeps process, frankly, there isn't one at the moment. —— peace process. this is why bcps cycles. it is a familiar pattern and script. it is is why bcps cycles. it is a familiar pattern and script.— pattern and script. it is mind numbingly — pattern and script. it is mind numbingly familiar. - pattern and script. it is mind numbingly familiar. you - pattern and script. it is mind numbingly familiar. you are | pattern and script. it is mind - numbingly familiar. you are right. there is no peace process at the moment. yesterday evening i went over to eastjerusalem to sheik

jarrah, to keep palestinians in their homes in the face of legal challenges by secular groups. the atmosphere there was utterly poisonous. this is something i've been watching in eastjerusalem for 20 years or more. it is a grinding conflict. until happens that secures a way out of that, draws the line between who has what injerusalem, until�*s rights can be here or there, then all of this will go on. but one think very much. as we've been hearing, the health secretary, matt hancock, has said new evidence gives a high degree of confidence that coronavirus vaccines work against the indian covid variant. he said the easing of restrictions in england will go ahead as planned tomorrow, but he couldn't rule out a return to local lockdowns to stem resurgences if the variant proves

to be highly transmissible. well, earlier, ispoke to professor ravi gupta from the university of cambridge, who is a professor of clinical microbiology and has been researching the evolution of covid—19, including new strains. i asked him for his assessment of the threat the indian variant poses to the easing of restrictions. it appears that what we've seen in india and some of the estimates from the united kingdom, that there may be a significant growth advantage of the virus. but we have to bear in mind that the expansion has been in particular pockets, and you could end up over estimating how quickly something is growing. nevertheless, this is a virus which, in india, has appeared to be reinfected people who have previously been infected. it is also infecting people who have had

vaccination, albeit with mild disease. this is not only potentially more transmissible, but also has an element of innumerable escape. that is not surprising, because that is what variants do. however, it is significant. it is somewhere between the uk variant and the south african variant. it is somewhere in the middle. it has potential to worry us. it is worrying- _ potential to worry us. it is worrying- is _ potential to worry us. it is worrying. is it _ potential to worry us. it is worrying. is it enough - potential to worry us. it is worrying. is it enough to i potential to worry us. it is worrying. is it enough to derail the road map out of lockdown, would you say? mr; road map out of lockdown, would you sa ? g , ., road map out of lockdown, would you sa? g, ., ., road map out of lockdown, would you sa? ., .,, road map out of lockdown, would you sa? ., ., , ., say? my personal opinion is that we should be waiting _ say? my personal opinion is that we should be waiting another _ say? my personal opinion is that we should be waiting another two - say? my personal opinion is that we should be waiting another two to i should be waiting another two to three weeks before easing because it is all about knowledge. we need the knowledge to inform our decisions. it is in a matter of two further weeks. we have already been in lockdown for 16 weeks or more. it is a small additional delay. the benefits could be enormous. because remember this virus is currently

growing in an exponential way, in other words, growing in an exponential way, in otherwords, its growing in an exponential way, in other words, its doubles every week. it is very hard to claw back those games once the virus has started growing in the community. we know there are vulnerable people who have not had all of the vaccine shots. we know that young people are not vaccinated and transmission could happen in younger age groups. we really are taking a big risk, in my view. ., ., :: , ., view. on the other hand, 70% of the aduu view. on the other hand, 70% of the adult population _ view. on the other hand, 70% of the adult population have _ view. on the other hand, 70% of the adult population have had _ view. on the other hand, 70% of the adult population have had at - view. on the other hand, 70% of the adult population have had at least i adult population have had at least one vaccination. surely, the likelihood is that even if this is more transmissible, it will result in an increase in cases, but not necessarily hospitalisations and deaths. arnie necessarily hospitalisations and deaths. ~ , ., deaths. we will see more hospitalisations. - deaths. we will see more hospitalisations. we i deaths. we will see more hospitalisations. we willl deaths. we will see more i hospitalisations. we will see deaths. we will see more _ hospitalisations. we will see deaths because there are individuals who have not responded to the vaccine. in this country, we have many people on immune suppressant drugs. there are people with cancer and so on. these people have not responded properly to the vaccines. they are

at serious risk of hospitalisation. we also need to remember that within hospitals if this variant starts transmitting amongst staff members, which we have seen in india, then hospitals could be quite a scary place to be. i'm worried about the kind of panic and morale of health care workers as well.

variant. young that's right but we are scaling up the vaccine programme and it is not there yet. we're scaling it up but we need a few more weeks achieve high levels of immunity in the population. so, you are right. when we get to a particular place, we will not worry so much about variants but, because we have covered the population with vaccines adequately, but we are not there yet. tomorrow sees another milestone in the reopening of the economy. pubs, restaurants and cafes in many parts of the uk will welcome customers back indoors. markjackson runs the arden inn in accrington. he told me he can't wait to open his doors after being shut for months. 0na mac on a mac it's a massive day and i can't wait, to be honest. it's been a long time coming. a real long time coming. a lot of people are nervous 110w nervous now but this indian variant, which is taking hold, we gather, in places like bolton, not too far from

you. i don't know if there is any of that variant in accrington, but are you worried that that could put the dampness on your reopening? it is sliuhtl dampness on your reopening? tit 3 slightly worrying because obviously blackburn and bolton are very close, just down the road. i hope it won't happen again. i don't think people will take it. ., ., �* , happen again. i don't think people will take it— will take it. how hard it's is a big view of the _ will take it. how hard it's is a big view of the last _ will take it. how hard it's is a big view of the last year? _ will take it. how hard it's is a big view of the last year? really i will take it. how hard it's is a big i view of the last year? really tough. set in the pipe. _ view of the last year? really tough. set in the pipe, formals, _ view of the last year? really tough. set in the pipe, formals, from i view of the last year? really tough. set in the pipe, formals, from a i set in the pipe, formals, from a thriving business to nothing, it has been very difficult. that thriving business to nothing, it has been very difficult.— been very difficult. that you have survived on _ been very difficult. that you have survived on your _ been very difficult. that you have survived on your back— been very difficult. that you have survived on your back tomorrow. | been very difficult. that you have i survived on your back tomorrow. what sort of preparations have you made? i've got air purifiers in the pub now. i've got laminated sheets everywhere. it'sjust now. i've got laminated sheets everywhere. it's just cleaning and getting going. vitamin d think this huge demand that people have been missing out on being indoors, they've missed it so long. what rank do you think they will be queueing around the block to get in?
