indoors until half past ten in the evening. glasgow is to remain under tighter controls for another week because of concern about a continued rise in cases. a testing project, which analyses sewage water for early signs of coronavirus outbreaks, has been expanded public health officials say the sampling acts as "an extra layer of reassurance" on the effectiveness of lockdown restrictions. here's our science correspondent, victoria gill. early in the pandemic, scientist confirmed that wastewater could be tested for genetic fragments of sars—cov—2 to virus. since then, the gunmen have sought to take samples from sewage treatment plants across england. that sampling which scientists say can pick up the virus earlier than testing in a population has now been ramped up. researchers say that 500 locations are being monitored for coronavirus. many of them sampled at least four days a week. it is a sewage based coronavirus tracking project that was developed from scratch over the last year will stop health secretary said earlier this week that the approach was being used to monitor the indian variant and track its spread. wastewater testing has been

said and additional testing system, helping health officials spot early localised outbreaks and variant of concern is the country tentatively emerges from restrictions. and a system could continue post covid enabling the use of wastewater to track diseases like the flu. scientists who help set up sewage testing programme said it could be one public health silver lining of ministers will give the bbc a chance to introduce its own reforms, in response to the damning independent inquiry into how journalist martin bashir obtained his panorama interview with princess diana in 1995. any changes could come next year as part of a planned mid—term review of the bbc charter. mps are still demanding answers over what went wrong, but the corporation's director general, tim davie, says "significantly stronger processes" are already in place to ensure the same mistakes are not repeated. two brown bears have been shot
6:06 am
and killed after escaping from a zoo enclosure in bedfordshire. the two female bears had attacked a male boar after using a fallen tree to get into a neighbouring enclosure. officials at whipsnade zoo in dunstable said there was "an immediate threat to human life" and tranquillisers would have taken 20 minutes to take effect. the broadcasterjeremy paxman has revealed he has been diagnosed with parkinson's disease. in a brief statement, the former newsnight presenter, who is 71, said he was receiving "excellent" treatment he says he plans to continue working. story for you which a lot of people are very excited about. the world's guest televised singing competition, the eurovision song contest, taking place tonight with a live audience. are you excited? it is one of those big market events, isn't it? the point being, it will probably look
6:07 am
slightly more normal than some of the other events that have recommenced because of the live audience element. they will be more excited because they had a year a lot —— a year off. it is not low—key at the best of times. it's one of the first major gatherings to go ahead since covid—19 brought the global events industry to a standstill. 0ur correspondent anna holligan reports from rotterdam. the final sequence are in place. —— sequins. now warming up for the biggest stage of their lives. they have travelled from across the continent, from north to south. . so continent, from north to south. . sr much continent, from north to south. . 5r much love. i appreciate everyone here. i think till today till the end of the competition, it is going to be the best days of our lives. from rock... to pop will stop there

6:10 am
the way this worked... you may have caught up with that but he completed the same 26.2 mile circuit near his home every day since february, in memory of his father who died in 2003. the brilliant news is that the 51—year—old has raised nearly £120,000, as it stands for macmillan cancer support, smashing his initial target of £10,000. .it . it gota . it got a lot higher than that was not we spoke to him yesterday morning and he is one of those characters... 50 morning and he is one of those characters. . .— morning and he is one of those characters. . ._ he i morning and he is one of those - characters. . ._ he doesn't characters... so low-key. he doesn't live characters... so low-key. he doesn't give much — characters... so low-key. he doesn't give much away- _ characters... so low-key. he doesn't give much away. day _ characters... so low-key. he doesn't give much away. day 109? _ characters... so low-key. he doesn't give much away. day 109? yeah, - characters... so low-key. he doesn't| give much away. day 109? yeah, one more to go. just amazing. halon give much away. day 109? yeah, one more to go. just amazing.— more to go. just amazing. how are ou more to go. just amazing. how are you feeling? — more to go. just amazing. how are you feeling? yeah, _ more to go. just amazing. how are you feeling? yeah, fine, _ more to go. just amazing. how are you feeling? yeah, fine, just - more to go. just amazing. how are you feeling? yeah, fine, just going to get on with it. brilliant. a, lot to get on with it. brilliant. a lot of --eole to get on with it. brilliant. a lot of people had — to get on with it. brilliant. a lot of people had run _ to get on with it. brilliant. a lot of people had run with - to get on with it. brilliant. a lot of people had run with him. - to get on with it. brilliant. lot of people had run with him. some of them had done 50 marathons or something. so, terrific. brilliant.
6:11 am
we showed _ something. so, terrific. brilliant. we showed you _ something. so, terrific. brilliant. we showed you eurovision. - if you're a music lover, you're spoilt for choice tonight. 0n bbc one you've got eurovision, whilst online there's a special programme from the organisers of glastonbury festival. coldplay, damon albarn and george ezra arejust some of the acts who have recorded sets for "live at worthy farm" — a mini version of the main event which has been cancelled for a second year in a row. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been behind the scenes. the glastonbury festival, not normally associated with peace and tranquillity. the grass is pretty long, kind of mid—calf length. yeah, it's may so everything is pure, peak life. the festival boss emily eavis gave us a tour of the fan—free site. so here we are on worthy farm, you can see the pyramid stage here, it is all systems go. glastonbury was cancelled for the second year in a row, but now music has returned, just without crowds. every day this week acts have arrived... drum fill.
6:12 am
..to prerecord their sets for tonight's live stream. it's going to be a really specialfilm, whichjust, you know, celebrates the farm and the festival, and shows all these artists in a completely different way. but here, on worthy farm. the only way for people to see the event is to pay £20 for an online ticket. it is a way of kind of, you know, i guess kind of balancing out a bit from our losses. we lost £5 million, so it's an enormous amount, we're obviously not to get that back, but it's a way of giving work to people, getting a little bit of money back in the pot and doing something really creative and interesting. the return of glastonbury in any form is also hugely important for the crew, many of whom have hardly worked for more than a year. it's been an incredibly difficult time for a lot of people, so to be able to do this and employ the number
6:13 am
of people we've been able to employ on this has meant so much to me personally, to send those emails and make those calls, to say "we've got a job for you", that has meant the most to me in this whole project, definitely. that field there was the first place i ever camped, in the dragon field. it's also clear how much it means to the acts, including wolf alice. moaning lisa smile plays wolf alice have played at three glastonburys, the last time on the pyramid stage. the venue for this is on a rather different scale. this is quite a place to play a gig. i know, it's going to feel like a dream. is this you? this is me, this is my musical cave. i'm really excited actually about playing in the round, i've always wanted to go to a wolf alice show, i feel like i'll finally be able to watch us play. # cause it's lies after lies after lies... and they are delighted
6:14 am
to be doing their part to help the festival. glastonbury is one of the most important cultural events that we have in the united kingdom, and worldwide, especially for music but also there's tons of stuff, dance and theatre, that goes on here, stand—up. and to not have that, yeah, is a big hole in the social calendar. glastonbury is of course going head—to—head with one other major music event tonight. — eurovision. that's why they have decided to run repeats of the live stream tomorrow. we love eurovision, and actually a lot of people were like, look, we really want to watch yours, so we are going to do both. maybe you need to book abba, then you can have the ultimate eurovision—glastonbury matchup. yeah. 0bviously, i'd love abba. and get ready to dust off your wellies — glastonbury is due to return nextjune. the stages are 90% in place, the fields will be somewhat busier. colin patterson, bbc news, where the
6:15 am
farm. —— worthy farm. live at worthy farm will be streamed online at 7pm this evening, with repeats tomorrow at 2pm and 7pm. are you missing live music? i was, and those — are you missing live music? i was, and those views — are you missing live music? i was, and those views over _ are you missing live music? i was, and those views over the - are you missing live music? i was, and those views over the farm, - are you missing live music? i was, and those views over the farm, if. and those views over the farm, if you could bottle a bit of the glastonbury mud and bring it home with you and spread some positivity around the world but great music to look forward to this evening, whether eurovision or glastonbury you will tune into and the weather actually is looking more optimistic as well. yesterday we had a lot of rain, really strong winds, but today is a more peaceful start. this is the pick as the sun has risen in highland and through the day it will be drier, brighter and crucially a little bit less windy certainly than recent days —— picture. breezy in the east but the winds dying down through the course of the day because lopressor is moving off to
6:16 am
the east. this is the cloud and low pressure that brought the really strong winds and rain in —— low pressure. ringing breezy conditions around these north sea coasts and down towards the south east through the morning but is high pressure nudges in, from the west, things will start to calm down. cloud about for most of us, the best of the sunshine in the morning for scotland and northern ireland and in the sunshine filters eastward so sunny spells developing foremost but you can see a few showers on the map. showers across parts of northern ireland, central eastern england, one or two for scotland. temperatures still not great for this stage in may so about 10— 15 degrees or so this afternoon but not feeling too bad where the sun is out later. a few heavy showers in the east into the evening, most of the rainbow fading away overnight. under the clear skies it will be quite a chilly night and in fact, we could see a touch of frost across parts of scotland, far north of england, newcastle down to two degrees first thing. clear and dry for many to
6:17 am
start but more rain is waiting in the wings. that is another area of low pressure sweeping in through sunday so yes, a bit more rain around tomorrow and some breezy conditions later but many of us having some dry weather until the rain arrives later on so low pressure will be moving its way in again from the west through the day, turning breezy, especially later on in the day before eastern scotland and eastern england, dry and sunny weather. the rain heavy later on, working initially to northern ireland, wales, pushing into central parts of scotland and england later in the afternoon. to the east of that for the life of east anglia, aberdeenshire, will hold onto dry and bad weather and want or two showers perhaps through the day with temperatures 10—13 perhaps on sunday. by the time we get to monday the rain clears from the east but it will linger across northern parts of scotland, sunshine and a blustery lot of showers, some of the heavy
6:18 am
side, through the day on monday and still relatively cool and through the week ahead a little bit up and down with low pressure but a hint that things could turn drier and warmer as we head towards bank holiday weekend.— warmer as we head towards bank holiday weekend. by now, you're probably familiar with our saturday panel of covid experts, dr chris smith and professor linda bauld. they'll be here with us in person for the first time in their usual slot, just after 9am this morning. i suppose in a way that is in itself a kind of statement as to how things have changed. we are observing of course social distancing that they will be here with us.— course social distancing that they will be here with us. they won't be in the studio. _ will be here with us. they won't be in the studio. it _ will be here with us. they won't be in the studio. it will _ will be here with us. they won't be in the studio. it will be _ will be here with us. they won't be in the studio. it will be a _ will be here with us. they won't be in the studio. it will be a bit - in the studio. it will be a bit different. in the studio. it will be a bit different-— in the studio. it will be a bit i different._ what in the studio. it will be a bit - different._ what is different. just out there. what is excitina different. just out there. what is exciting for _ different. just out there. what is exciting for them, _ different. just out there. what is exciting for them, as _ different. just out there. what is exciting for them, as well - different. just out there. what is exciting for them, as well as - different. just out there. what is exciting for them, as well as for| different. just out there. what is l exciting for them, as well as for us because we are interviewing people in person but they are interviewing —— meeting each otherfor the
6:19 am
in person but they are interviewing —— meeting each other for the first time. so, obviously, this is the important thing, you know the answer questions so brilliantly, send them in by e—mail or twitter and we will get to as many as possible. many knockin: get to as many as possible. many knocking around _ get to as many as possible. many knocking around in _ knocking around in connection with the changes, germany, that's one of the lead stories today, those travel restrictions so anything you need to address, get in touch. now it's time for click with spencer kelly and lara lewington. welcome to click! hope you're doing 0k! this week, we're going to be talking a lot about taking photos. so, lara, you know how we have all been looking for new hobbies to help fill the time during lockdown, yeah? i've been very busy colouring in with my eight—year—old.
6:20 am
so she's got her colouring—in book and you've got an adult colouring—in book and you sit next to each other, do you? no! i only do the children's ones because i think the grown—up ones are too fiddly! anyway, what have you been doing? chuckles. well, let me tell you, you know those amazing photos of the stars in the night sky that you can get by taking a long exposure photo? well, i've kind have been getting into that, and it turns out that astronomy as a whole has become a much bigger deal in the last year. i suppose it's something you can do in your back garden when you're on your own and can't go out. exactly! so you might think that you'd need a big dslr and a telescope to get those kind of shots. but no. turns out you might already have everything you need in your pocket. so i wanted to find out more about this, so i asked tv host, spacejournalist and author sarah cruddas to try a bit of astrophotography on her smartphones. it was looking up at the night sky as a child which inspired
6:21 am
my lifelong love of space. but whereas in the past, capturing images of the night sky required expensive kit, now all you need is the latest smartphone, a bit of luck with the weather and enough time to set up before it gets dark. the latest generation of smartphones have a few low—light tricks up their sleeves to make getting those insta—worthy night sky photographs a lot easier. i'm testing out four of the latest smartphones. we've got the huawei mate a0 pro. the samsung s21. this google pixel 5. my iphone 12 pro max. and as for this, don't worry about it just yet! because we'll be taking long—exposure photographs, the most important extra you'll need is a tripod to hold your phone steady. and the other really important thing is to go find somewhere that doesn't have too
6:22 am
much light pollution. you can always have a look online for dark sky recommendations near you. then all you need to do is wrap up warm and wait for night to fall. in fact, you might not have to wait until it's fully dark before you get your first shot. if it's up at dusk, it's actually easier to shoot the moon against a blue sky rather than a black one — that way, your phone won't just turn it into a white blob while trying to compensate for the incredibly dark sky. often when you think of astronomy, you think of expensive kit. but to be honest with you, if your phone isn't enough, if you want to get slightly closer to these astronomical objects, you need a pair of these, not a telescope. i'm such a fan of binoculars — they're lightweight, you can carry them around, you can take them where you want to be and it involves less setting up and literally, it is a case of holding your smartphone up to the binoculars to get that perfect shot. there we go, i've got it. it is a bit tricky but if you
6:23 am
want to get really close—up pictures of the moon, might be worth listening to a proper pro. a problem with trying to attach your camera or get your camera in the right place to look down the eyepiece of a telescope is holding the camera nice and steady over the eyepiece. so there are now devices — in fact, i've got one here, there we are — it's like a little clamp. this bit clamps over the eyepiece of the telescope and your phone fits in here. which is brilliant, because it will keep it really rock steady on the eyepiece and then concentrate on the picture. it is, as you can probably tell, insanely dark. of course you're going to need a torch, but so you don't dazzle yourself or ruin your night sky vision, here's a top tip for you — use a red light. in fact, it's so dark that we have chosen to record this entire film using a sony a7s mark iii, which has very impressive
6:24 am
low—light credentials. it's a full moon but apart from that, we have only used an artificial light for a handful of shots — we'll tell you which ones on—screen. just look at how much our normal tv camera struggles in comparison. 0k, time to see what these phones can do. camera clicks. this is the iphone 12 pro max. it's not bad for starters. and here's another tip — if you are worried that pressing the shutter button will wobble the phone, you can get a very cheap bluetooth remote clicker like this one, or you can even use the volume control on your headphones as a remote shutter button. the iphone and samsung don't have specific astrophotography modes, so i'm going to go into full professional mode on the s21 and set a long exposure going. and the result is... oh, wow! do you know what? i even need to do slightly less exposure. it looks — to be honest with you, it looks like a nuclear bomb's gone off, it is so bright! if you play around with
6:25 am
the settings, you can get some really lovely shots, but the next two phones remove the trial and error with full astrophotography modes. hold still for two minutes and 48 seconds. the google pixel 5 decides for itself how long it needs to run for. and for this shot, i'm also using one of pete's other photography tips. if you take pictures of stars with no context around them, they are just dots in your photo. there's nothing better than actually putting in a bit of artistic composition and adding in foreground objects because it gives everything a beautiful context. this is incredible! it's a really, really bright, really powerful image i would say of the night sky but it almost looks like daytime and i feel like i'm a professional photographer, even though i'm just using a setting on a smartphone. one thing to bear in mind is when the moon is full, the brightness will make photographing stars rather difficult. we actually got some better
6:26 am
shots a few nights later, before the moon was up. and now, to the huawei mate pro 40, which has something called light painting mode. this simulates a very long exposure shot by taking one photo every few seconds and stacking them together. the results are stunning. and itjust makes you realise that we are on this object that is moving, that is hurtling through space because, you know, you see how far the stars have moved. i think that's the best astrophotography picture i've ever taken with a phone, if i do say so myself! it is quite incredible, really. i'm really impressed with the phones but now, i'm going to try something that is comparatively out of this world. the stellina telescope uses the same technique of stacking lots of images, but on a very different scale. it's been designed in consultation with astronauts and former nasa astronaut terry virts is a telescope's
6:27 am
brand ambassador. the stellina is kinda like being in space because you can see the planets and pick them out in space but they're just small dots. and the stellina optics are sort of the same — it doesn't have a big zoom lens that really zooms in to planets, but what stellina does let you do is see these deep sky objects, and in space it was kind of the same thing — you can't zoom in with your eyes on the planets but you can see these giant clouds of hydrogen in the milky way, or you can see nebula with your eyes. 0nce powered up, the stellina orientates itself by looking around for familiar stars and constellations and the accompanying app will give you a list of deep sky objects to choose from. so we've got to choose from the m13 galaxy, m51, m82, sombrero galaxy, double cluster. let's do m13, the hercules cluster.
6:28 am
it will then track the chosen object across the sky, building up an image which it sends direct to your smartphone. do you know, i've done astronomy since i was five years old — i remember i had a little children's pair of binoculars — but this is the most high—tech thing i've ever seen. i've done it! so this is my photograph — it's taken it for ten minutes, of the hercules cluster. you can't even see this object in the night sky, and this image has brought up not only the cluster but more stars than i can see with my own eyes. it's — it's really incredible to think how much technology has evolved since galileo looked up with his telescope all those centuries ago, and now we have these science fiction—like smart devices which you can capture images of the night sky. in order to get the best pictures, you do need some perseverance and patience, but the result really have been worth the cold.
6:29 am
sometimes, though, it isjust worth putting your phone down and taking in the majesty of it all as we hurtle through the universe on our one tiny ball of rock. brilliant! that was sarah cruddas. how amazing were those pictures?! incredible pictures. and it's amazing to see what our smartphones can do that most of us will never actually use them for. right. and over the course of the past year, some people have got into new hobbies. others may have been busy sorting things out around the house, like maybe going through some old photos. and in fact, i have something here that could be very handy for that. this is a gadget for digitising old negatives, so you can either save them in your phone or you can print them. right. 0k, how does it work? it's simple to use but a bit fiddly.
6:30 am
you've to download the pictoscanner app first and then turn the light on... slip your negative in here. line up your phone camera with the hole, and then you're ready to go. i see, so it's reversing the colours in the image — it's showing you the positive of the negative in a live view, yeah? that's right, then you've just gotta snap it. that is a striking photo, by the way — that's darth maul, if anyone's asking. it is, and its bright, so it seemed a good one to test. the colours really pop. and after a bit ofjiggling the device about, it works. it's not perfect, but it is largely made out of cardboard and it does only cost 35 quid. is that you under the make—up, by the way? no! all of my old pictures are way too embarrassing! i think it's you under the make—up. anyway, that is it for the shortcut of click this week. much more waiting for you in the full length version which is on iplayer right now.
6:31 am

6:34 am
next to the climax, of the european rugby season and there was heart break for leicester tigers at twickenham, as the european challenge cup was snatched from the grasp. a late surge from montpellier in front of 10,000 fans that turned the match on it's head. leicester had been looking good with a seven point lead until this comeback, and it was the french side celebrating an 18—17 win, and leave leicester without a european trophy now for 19 years. this evening it's the champions cup, final, la rochelle against toulouse. in football, blackpool have reached the league one play—off final on an emotional evening at bloomfield road with a 6—3 aggregate win over 0xford. before the game the players and fans paid tribute to nine—year—old blackpool boy jordan banks, who was killed, after being struck by lightning while playing football last week. as for the game, blackpool had a 3—0 lead going into this second leg,
6:35 am
and there were three goals each last night, including one from, jerry yates, who commemorated jordan banks during his celebration. it's scottish cup final day, but without fans at hampden park. covid restrictions in glasgow, mean no spectators will watch hibernian or stjohnstone, take the trophy. stjohnstone, won the league cup in february but have had a number of players self—isolating this week, while hibs are looking for a first scottish cup win, since 2016. now winning a gold medal is hard enough but swimmer kathleen dawson had to do it twice. she thought she'd won the european 100 metre backstroke title — in record time as well. but a problem with the starting blocks for one of her rivals meant the race had to be, staged again a couple of hours later. thankfully for dawson, she won it again. it brings back lt memories for me at primary school. i should have been disqualified for the buy was only ten but we had to run the race again. didn't disqualify you, they just made you do it again? did you

or the camera work? yeah, you - embers. james newman really, really delivered and the uk should be proud of the song you brought to the eurovision song contest. but you know, this is a really tough year and i am famous for nitpicking because they really want all of the songs to do really really well and ultimately, the songs that i like the most and probably going to be slightly more critical of it. the song is booming, it has a great place in the running order. the camera work could be a little bit tighter. the camera work could be a little bit more polished and this is me nitpicking! but with as joyous as the song is, wejust me nitpicking! but with as joyous as the song is, we just need a little bit more of those tight camera angles. but you know, james is selling it and doing his best. who is your favourite? _ selling it and doing his best. who is your favourite? this _ selling it and doing his best. who is your favourite? this year - selling it and doing his best. who is your favourite? this year is - is your favourite? this year is reall , is your favourite? this year is really. really _ is your favourite? this year is really, really competitive. i. is your favourite? this year is - really, really competitive. iwould really, really competitive. i would say my favourites that i am kind of pulling for our italy, iceland, malta. they are the top of my list but i love what switzerland is doing. i love what france is doing. this is probably the first year i have had ten plus countries i wouldn't mind seeing win. i5

6:42 am
you will be pleased to see the headline because it is going to be drier and brighter today. still a few showers but crucially we have lost those really strong winds that we saw yesterday. low pressure that brought the wind and the rain yesterday, lots of cloud that was wrapped around that low pressure, clearing away now towards the east. still close enough to bring those breezy conditions this morning for parts of eastern england in particular, eastern scotland, too. and one or two shall lingering through the course of the day but high—pressure building in from the west. sunshine this morning, particularly for scotland and northern ireland and sunny skies working in. brightening up for most of us but you can just see a few of those showers that are going to bubble up through the course of the afternoon. still a particularly warm for late may. 0nly afternoon. still a particularly warm for late may. only about 10— 15 degrees out there. it could stay cloudy around the far east coast as well. into the evening hours, heavy showers in the east but they look like they fade away overnight so
6:43 am
clearing skies and actually quite as chilly night to come. we could see a touch of frost around rural parts of scotland and northern england, even down to two degrees in newcastle first thing sunday so quite a fresh start to the day. sunshine but you will see the next area cloud and rain eating out in the wings. during the day tomorrow they will be more rain coming in. breezy later in the day but that rain will be moving from west to east. so many parts of the uk should stay that maxxia bit of dry weather. low pressure heading its way west to east. quite a lot of isobars around that area of low pressure but certainly for central and eastern scotland and much of central and eastern england, too, you should keep the blue skies through much of the day, clouding overin through much of the day, clouding over in the afternoon and this band of heavy rain initially for northern ireland will push into scotland, wales and western england later as well. driertowards wales and western england later as well. drier towards the east and temperatures not great, 10— 13 degrees, but it should feel reasonably pleasant where you keep
6:44 am
those brightest guys in the east through the day tomorrow. by the time you get to monday, the rain will have cleared away from the east but it will still linger across northern scotland and elsewhere another day of sunshine and showers so quite typical stop we have seen this a lot over the past couple of weeks. heavy showers and could have the odd rumble of thunder and temperatures around 13 or 14 degrees at best. looking towards the new working week, still quite unsettled and showery and cool to start things off but a hint that we could well see some slightly drier and at last some warmer weather as well, as we head towards the bank holiday weekend. back to you both. improving nicel , weekend. back to you both. improving nicely. sarah. — weekend. back to you both. improving nicely, sarah, thank _ weekend. back to you both. improving nicely, sarah, thank you _ weekend. back to you both. improving nicely, sarah, thank you very - weekend. back to you both. improving nicely, sarah, thank you very much. i a brand new museum celebrating the history of manufacturing has finally opened after being delayed by the pandemic. the 300—year—old silk mill in derby is thought to be one of the world's first factories and is now home to the museum of making. 0ur midlands correspondent phil mackie went along for the opening day. it has been a long time in the making, 300 years to be exact. the

6:48 am
uk cinemas reopened this week, with films that have previously been available on streaming services such as minari, mortal kombat and raya and the last dragon, playing alongside new releases like those who wish me dead. why'd they put you in a fire tower? well, i'mjust lucky, i guess. angelina jolie plays smoke jumper hannah, combating forest fires in montana. hannah is a wild card, haunted by guilty memories of a mission in which she misjudged the wind, with grim consequences. having been sent to spend a season alone atop a fire tower, her path conveniently crosses with that of a young boy, lost and on the run after his father was targeted by sinister hit men,
6:49 am
played by aidan gillen and nicholas hoult. give �*em something else to worry about. music sting. loosely adapted from a novel by michael koryta and directed by taylor sheridan, whose credits include the oscar—nominated screenplay for hell or high water, this is solidly pedestrian stuff — a by—the—numbers, box—ticking affair spiced up by shoot—outs, lightning strikes and some very impressive fire escapes. we can't go through that! that eats everything in its path! none of it is particularly believable, withjolie looking far too much like a movie star to convince as a battle—scarred firefighter. still, her character is far more convincing than the hit men, who were essentially upmarket, b movie caricatures, killing everyone they meet whilst complaining about the scenery in entertainingly daft fashion. he's still on duty — you can try him on your radio. 0n the other hand, you have

6:51 am
well, it's not a kids' book, is it? no, no. it's about kids for grown—ups. it's about female friendship. but will adults buy a book about kids? can i sell it? into margaret's agency comesjoanna, a college grad played by once upon a time in hollywood co—star margaret qualley who has never read salinger but aspires to be a poet. she's set to work dealing with salinger�*s fan mail, ensuring that no—one gets to the writer, while keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. over phone: don't get stuck answering the phone, - joanna! you're a poet! what follows is a whimsical drama in which salinger befriendsjoanna over the phone and encourages her to concentrate on her writing, despite margaret's fierce insistence that she must never telljerry that she's a writer. there are echoes of the master—slave relationship at the heart of the devil wears prada, although this has none of the bite of that acerbic novel—turned—film. instead, it settles for something more twee — a nostalgic world observed
6:52 am
with dewy—eyed wonder by character —— by a character who, although based on real life, never seems real. is it on? but weaver has fun as the imperious grande dame who cannot abide computers and whose withering look is worth the price of admission. it's in cinemas now. a decade ago, saw 3d, the seventh film in the torture—packed franchise, promised to be the final instalment. fat chance! after 2017's jigsaw, we now have a ninth movie, portentously entitled spiral: from the book of saw. what is that? "play me." hello, detective banks. directed by darren lynn bousman, who held episodes two, three and four, this new chapter stars chris rock,
6:53 am
promising to do for the saw franchise what 48 hours did for buddy cop movies. he's zeke, a wisecracking detective whose dad, played by samuel ljackson, was a legend in the force. i could've killed you. faced with a jigsaw—style copycat targeting the police, loner zeke, who's watching his back after turning in a dirty cop, finds himself paired with a wide—eyed rookie played by max minghella. detective banks. zeke initially hates the rookie because, hey, but gradually, he comes to respect him because, hey, that's what cliched movie cops do. based on a script that has been polished by rock — and remember, there are some things you just can't polish — spiral seems to be pulling in two different directions. 0n the one hand, there's rock doing his post—eddie murphy procedural shtick, and on the other, there's the elaborate set pieces in which people get horribly tortured by ridiculously complicated machinery while a puppet
6:54 am
explains the plot on a tape. when's the last time you saw your father? the saw franchise may be predicated upon these set pieces, but it would help if they actually made sense and didn't leave you wondering a, how the killer designed, built and then set up all this machinery without anyone noticing, and b, what exactly the point of the traps is, particularly one that seems to offer the victim the choice between death and, er, death, without even the possibility of cake. most importantly, for all its grotesquery, nothing in spiral is scary, with its plot twists provoking not shocks but groans. it's in cinemas now. meanwhile, over on netflix, we have army of the dead, the latest from zack snyder, who recently scored an online hit with his director's cut ofjustice league. is there anybody else here who hasn't killed a zombie? well, we all know the basics. zombies, shamblers, the undead — whatever you want to call them —
6:55 am
when it comes to killing them, it's all about the brain. brain. 0ne comes at you, shoot in the brain. it's that simple. any questions? yes. what if i took a big rock and smashed it into the head? would that work? best known for such comic book—inspired movies as 300, watchmen and batman v superman, snyder cut his teeth on a remake of george romero's zombie classic dawn of the dead. in army of the dead, he conjures a satirical world in which a zombie outbreak has been confined to the walled—off enderons of las vegas, a place that's always been hell on earth, but is now doubly so. what the. . ? shh! with a nuclear strike looming, muscle—bound dave bautista leads a ragtag troop back into vegas to raid a vault in one of the casinos, and also to try to save a mother who went missing in sin city some weeks earlier. it's not too late to go back. with so many zombie movies
6:56 am
in the past few years, it's unsurprising that army of the dead, of which a prequel and a spin—off anime—style series are on the way, seems so unoriginal, lifting riffs from everything from romero's movies to world war z to return of the living dead part iii. what's more surprising is just how much snyder and his co—writers have pinched not only from john carpenter's escape from new york and escape from la, but also from james cameron's 1986 gem aliens, which similarly spliced genres to altogether more gripping effect. bickering squad entering a deserted area full of temporarily dormant beasties? check. let's remember the team. parent—child jeopardy reconciliation theme? check. that's crossing the line. duplicitous company man who can't be trusted? check. foolhardy return to rescue someone as the clock counts down to a nuclear blast? check. the difference is that while aliens
6:57 am
was a nail—biting combination of horror movie and war movie, this not—very—humorous horror heist hybrid settles for altogether more goofy splatter thrills, contempt to throw blood and entrails around without ever getting beneath the surface of the story. but when it comes to snyder's films, surface is everything, as is length, with army of the dead clocking in at a bloated 2.5 hours when it could have been in and out in 89 minutes. oh, and note to film—makers — putting a gurning cameo by trump's former press secretary sean spicer in your movie is never a good idea. ever. army of the dead is on netflix now. i'll leave you with news of rare beasts, in which star of stage, screen and pop charts billie piper ads writer—director to her cv. even though i feel scared and angry, i still love and respect myself.

a post—fleabag era tale of dysfunctional male—female relationships teamed with humour and a hint of horror, it's an ambitious work boosted by an exceptional cast. so, why are you single, pete? i find women intolerable. right. piper plays mandy, a single mum living with her own mum, played by kerry fox. when mandy goes out on a date with uptight workmate pete, played by leo bill, he tells her that he finds women intolerable but he refuses to be without one — something that should send her running for the hills. instead, she embarks upon a masochistic relationship with pete while simultaneously trying to reconcile with her selfish father, played by david thewlis, and to raise her anxiously twitchy son. every wife, respect your husband! there are stylistic echoes of craig roberts's eternal beauty, in which piper and thewlis co—starred, both in the mix of tragedy and comedy and in the heightened theatrical reality which occasionally tips over into fantasy. i want a man!
6:59 am
at times, this super stylised performative approach can seem distracting, and some audiences will struggle to engage with the characters, but the examination of modern gender roles is intriguing, entertaining and honest. and while mandy may be an uncertain character riddled with self—doubt, piper's direction is bold and confident, suggesting that a future career behind the camera awaits. rare beasts is in cinemas and online now. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe, and i'll see you next week. how'd you get in here? are you forgetting who the landlord is? yeah, but that doesn't give you the right to just walk in here anytime you want. renters got rights. you start paying some rent, you can get some rights.

after a year out because of the pandemic, eurovision returns. rolling back the years. 50—year—old phil mickelson shares the lead at the halfway point of the us—pga, aiming to become the oldest player to win a major golf title. good morning. it's a drier, brighter and crucially less windy day out there today. we've still got a few showers around in the forecast but i'll have of the details for you, here on breakfast. it's saturday 22nd may. our top story: travellers entering germany from the uk will have to quarantine for two weeks on arrival, because of the rise in cases of the indian variant of coronavirus. the changes come into effect from midnight tomorrow, and apply to everyone, even if they are fully vaccinated. germany is still on the uk government's amber list, sean dilley reports.
7:02 am
it's a decision that comes just days after the eu gave its members the green light to welcome fully vaccinated british tourists. from midnight tomorrow, germany will close its borders to all travel from the uk, except for german residents and citizens, due to concerns about rising cases of the indian variants. those who are allowed in will be made to quarantine for two weeks. spain, on the other hand, is lifting all restrictions on uk holidaymakers. from monday, british tourists will not need a negative covid test to enter the country. in the uk, surge testing is under way in several areas including bolton, bedford and north london, to identify cases of the indian variants. figures from the office for national statistics show a slight increase in the number of reported infections across england last week. but the data suggests the kent rather than the indian variant is responsible. at the moment, thought, the uk government says it's on course to ease restrictions injune. we'll be letting everybody know

exactly what sort of arrangements to expect forjune the 21st, but what i can tell you, and just to stress, i'm still seeing nothing in the data that leads me to think that we're going to have to deviate from the roadmap. it's a good news day for england's vaccination programme, as more than a million 32 and 33—year—olds become eligible to book theirjabs. scotland is currently offering the jab to people over the age of 30. wales has already started inviting those from 18—25 fortheirjabs, and in northern ireland, anybody who will be 25 or older on the 21st ofjuly can book an appointment. there's still a way to go before everyone is offered the jab but the government has praised the nhs for delivering the largest vaccination programme in its history and it says it will monitor the progress of any variants closely. sean dilley, bbc news. by now, you're probably familiar with our saturday panel of covid experts — dr chris smith and professor linda bauld. they'll be here with us

7:15 am
we have missed a lot but you are right, there are going to be tentative steps and we will need to grow into this as we open more furnaces, as activity starts to resume but crucially heading to the 2ist resume but crucially heading to the 21st ofjune when the restrictions can be safely lifted and we can start to turn these businesses back into breaking even and making a profit and rebuilding. you into breaking even and making a profit and rebuilding.— into breaking even and making a profit and rebuilding. you made a ve tood profit and rebuilding. you made a very good point about the - profit and rebuilding. you made a - very good point about the experience already that people in this industry have in running their venues, so they have already done their homework. what about the customers? inevitably, as time passes, they will be more and more people who have had two jabs, they might start thinking slightly differently about the way they behave in an establishment. are there any concerns about making sure people stick to the rules, if people have slightly different attitudes coming into a venue? sitting down, who do you sit with? all of those things. that we are facing is the biggest challenge, really, is making sure
7:16 am
that our customers comply with what we know we have to put in place by law and what we are required to do within our assessments to keep them safe but let's not forget that for many of these venues, particulars if you are sort of late—night or in pubs and bars, this is what we do day in, day out before covid—19 hit. we were there to make sure our customers have a good but save time and are there to regulate and manage some things that come on so we are taking it seriously, making sure that we are reminding customers of what they need to do and we need customers to be kind to our staff as we come back. we are quite rusty, we have had six months we have not been trading, listen to what they are telling you, to test and trace and follow the one—way systems, keep seated, hand sanitiser, it is there to give you and safe experience. kate, i dare say some of these statistics are hard to come by thus far but is a clear yet, is there a pattern, as to venues that were open
7:17 am

7:20 am
the east coast so sunny spells for scotland and northern ireland through the morning and pushing their way eastward into england and wales this afternoon. scattered showers here and there, particularly northern ireland, central and eastern england. nowhere is immune to catching a passing shower though. at least there will be sometime in between. 10— 15 degrees also there. in the evenings some heavy showers are lingering in the east for a time but they should fade away so clearing skies tonight and actually, the cold air is still with us so we could see a touch of frost across parts of scotland, northern england first thing, a fresh start on the sunday morning but some sunshine for most of us. this band of rain is the next area of low pressure so through the course of sunday, there will be more rain arriving, moving its way west to east through the day, training breezy later and that is down to this next area of low pressure that has been lining up. as it had then it will bring the wetter and the windy weather and a lot of isobars on the southern side of the
7:21 am
low pressure. through most of the day, eastern england and eastern scotland should hold onto drier weather with a bit of sunshine and one or two showers ahead of the main rain band. they will initially affect northern ireland, putting into western parts of britain through the afternoon and some will be heavy and falling on saturated ground, particularly across wales. temperatures 10—13 on sunday so still not great for this stage in may. monday, the rain cleared from the east but lingers across parts of scotland. elsewhere, another day of sunshine and some heavy showers on monday. temperatures still only around about 13 or 14 at best. as we start the working week many of us see the unsettled weather continuing, fairly cool and showery but a hint that the temperatures are starting to nudge up on some drier weather eventually on the way towards the end of the month and into earlyjune. towards the end of the month and into earlyjune— you look at sarah's graphics and you

women who go out every day and take samples from wastewater treatment plants or from the sewer system. send those out and we built a new laboratory with our friends of the environment agency and there, they prepare the samples which is again a complicated process but it involves a lot of fun science like putting them in a big centrifuge and spinning them out. once we have done that we can actually tell if we have evidence of covid—19 fragments in the samples. if we do we can send them off to other laboratories we have got, with our friends at the university of liverpool and exeter and the centre for environment, fisheries and agriculture at sea bass and then we can see whether we have any variance of concern or any of the mutations that we are also worried about. in of the mutations that we are also worried about.— of the mutations that we are also worried about. , ., ., ., worried about. in sewage, how... how much... worried about. in sewage, how... how much- -- i'm — worried about. in sewage, how... how much--- i'mjust_ worried about. in sewage, how... how much... i'mjust trying... _ worried about. in sewage, how... how much... i'mjust trying... how- worried about. in sewage, how... how much... i'm just trying. .. how big - much... i'm just trying... how big a... much... i'mjust trying... how big a... a much... i'm just trying... how big a... a big much... i'mjust trying... how big a... a big an amount of much... i'm just trying... how big a... a big an amount of sewage do you need to be able to test coronavirus and detected? in parts

how do you... sorry, it is difficult thing to get my head around. how do you figure out that only a couple in that community from sewage have had coronavirus? ., that community from sewage have had coronavirus?— coronavirus? yeah, we can make estimates _ coronavirus? yeah, we can make estimates from _ coronavirus? yeah, we can make estimates from the _ coronavirus? yeah, we can make estimates from the amount - coronavirus? yeah, we can make estimates from the amount of i estimates from the amount of covid—19 that we see in the sample but ultimately we can compare it with the brilliant work that our colleagues in test and trace do and our brilliant colleagues in public health england and we can compare it with ultimately the number of people who might test positive in the community and we can see that we have been able to detect a very small number of cases in quite a large community. 50 small number of cases in quite a large community.— large community. so you could find more cases — large community. so you could find more cases in _ large community. so you could find more cases in a _ large community. so you could find more cases in a community - large community. so you could find more cases in a community from i large community. so you could find l more cases in a community from the sewage and implies that, then look at the variants as well? examine that data? ., �* . at the variants as well? examine that data?— at the variants as well? examine that data? . �*, ., , , that data? that's absolutely right. i think one that data? that's absolutely right. | i think one of the great things that we are able to contribute, along with our colleagues in public health
7:26 am
england and test and trace, is that we can either find things that might not yet have shown up in the test and trace data or things like asymptomatic cases. we can detect asymptomatic cases. we can detect asymptomatic cases. we can detect asymptomatic cases. so what i mean by that is able who are not showing any symptoms of covid—19 and we can find that in the sewage system and then of course we pass the information on to health protection teams and they take over and they do the range of interventions and support at a local level. and then the other thing we can do is where we know that we have had outbreaks and we have already done mass testing and we think we have got it contained, afterwards we can continue to test the sewage and just see if we are absolutely, make absolutely sure that there is not a recurrence. i absolutely sure that there is not a recurrence-— recurrence. i have two questions, briefl if recurrence. i have two questions,

7:37 am
what about pre tournament favourite, rory mcilroy? well, after his first day struggles, he did improve before more frustration left him eight shots behind the leaders on a day when mickelson put the younger players in the shade, thanks, he says, to more time meditating. iam i am trying to use my mind like a muscle and just expand it because as i have gotten older, it has been more difficult for me to maintain a sharp focus, good visualisation and see the shot so physically i feel like unable to perform and hit the shots that hit throughout my career and ifeel like i can do it every bit as well as i have. now, with half—an—hour left of rugby's european challenge cup final, leicester had the trophy in their grasp. they were set to end their 19—year wait for european glory with a seven point lead. but despite the inspiration from 10,000 fans at twickenham, montpellier, surged back — out running and out muscling leicester. it was the french side who lifted the cup after an 18—17 win. this evening it's the champions cup

final, la rochelle against toulouse. and all french affair there. stjohnstone can make history today, in the scottish cup final day, but without fans, at hampden park. covid restrictions in glasgow mean no spectators will watch hibernian or stjohnstone take the trophy. stjohnstone are looking to do the cup double, having won the league cup in february, but they have had a number of players self—isolating this week, while hibs are looking for a first scottish cup win since 2016. while on an emotional night at blackpool, jerry yates, helped them reach the league one play off final against oxford and he dedicated his goal to nine—year—old blackpool boy jordan banks, who was killed after being struck by lightning while playing football last week. both teams had earlier held a minutes silence

and finally, while phil mickelson is impressing in the golf. how about kent's darren stevens doing it for us old folks in the cricket. 45—years—young — he smashed an incredible 190 against glamorgan in the county championship. he came to the crease when kent were struggling — and despite recently being in terrible form with the bat — he smashed 15 sixes and 15 fours, to help his team to 307 all out. he shared a record 166 partnership with miguel cummins for the ninth wicket. cummins scored just one! now, as well as the monaco grand prix in formula 1 this weekend, it's the start of the world superbikes championship, with northern ireland'sjonathan ray, aiming to build on his record breaking six world titles on the trot. before he left for spain, i went to northern ireland tojoin him in training, but there wasn't a superbike in sight, and at 34, he doesn't as yet have a road bike license. so how does he train? how it is now for the

7:48 am
answered on thursday in a report by the retired judge lord dyson. he found that bashir deceived and induced diana's brother earl spencer to introduce him to the princess by showing him faked bank statements. after concerns had been raised, tony hall, then in charge of bbc news and current affairs and later its director—general, led an investigation into all of this. but lord dyson found that that internal investigation was "woefully ineffective" and that the bbc then covered up what it had discovered. these damning findings about a 26—year—old edition of panorama were followed on thursday night by the latest addition of that same strand. martin bashir spun a web of elaborate lies to win the trust of the princess. and what makes it more wicked is the degree of detail which martin bashir appears to have gone into. for 25 years, the bbc defended its global scoop but now stands accused
7:49 am
of a failure of integrity. having left the bbc in 1999, martin bashir returned in 2016, appearing on newswatch having been promoted to religion editor. last week, he resigned again due to issues with his health, and this week apologised for mocking up the documents he showed to earl spencer, but said that they had no bearing on princess diana's choice to take part in the interview, of which he said he remained immensely proud. for its part, the bbc offered a full and unconditional apology and the director—general tim davie said this to media editor amol rajan. the report identifies three very serious failings. the first is martin bashir�*s investigation and the way that was carried out. just to be clear, that was a breach of the current editorial guidelines at the time in 1993. you're right with the second thing around the investigation — it's clear it was not good
7:50 am
enough, and it didn't get to the truth. and then finally, the way the press was handling it, it was evasive and not up to standard. viewers expressed their concern about what lord dyson's report had uncovered, with susan sechi writing: and sheila brown agreed. well, let's explore the implications of the report for the bbc with stewart purvis, former editor in chief at itn and a former partner at the regulator 0fcom. stewart, now that princes william and harry have spoken out publicly, talking about deceit
7:51 am
and failing notjust their mother but the public, how serious do you think this is? well, i think it was serious enough before they spoke but, you know, so serious after they spoke that one wondered how could this be any worse? we have the man who will one day be the king of the country launching a full—out assault on the bbc, on its — the people who ran it at the time and almost challenging it to get itself sorted out. and i'm sure the bbc will try and rise to that challenge but the fact that the challenge has had to be made by a senior member of the royal family is completely unprecedented. now there's what's martin bashir did, there's how the bbc behaved when colleagues raised concerns about that, then there's the whole cover—up in the original internal enquiry. which concerns you the most? i think it's the latter two.
7:52 am
now, i'm not dismissing in any way the importance of bashir faking the documents and indeed lord dyson says, buried away in the report, that bashir made one of them himself. so, you know, that is an important element in the story. but institutionally, and in terms of implications for the bbc — especially this issue of trust — it is how did the bbc respond once the allegations were being made about the faking of the documents. and there we see, as basically lord dyson calls it, a "woeful investigation". and if you drill down into the detail, which some of us have had the time to do, you see these extraordinary moments where, really, bashirsuddenly admits that he has been lying the whole time to bbc management and they are shocked by this, but they never basically tell their senior masters, in terms of the governors who oversaw the bbc, they never tell them that. do you think a situation like this could arise now at the bbc? i think it is very dangerous to suggest it couldn't because so much of this revolves around what one
7:53 am
individual working entirely on his own — remember, at this point in the story when the faking was going on, he did not have a producer working with him, so this was in essence very much the actions of one person. and who's to tell what any one person working in the bbc can do. the question then is how does the management, how does the so—called compliance system, the regulatory system, how does that work to correct the mistake? that's the biggest lesson. that's another of these big challenges that the bbc is facing. and which we already have the government now stepping in and saying "something's got to be done about that". i wanted to ask about that. both thejustice and the culture secretaries have raised the possibility that perhaps the bbc needs extra oversight. do you think there is a strong case to say that's what's needed? well, i think we have to remind ourselves that the system in place in 1996 is not in place now. that was the governance, which was pretty much regulation in—house — it was self—regulation.
7:54 am
now, after many of these sort of incidents, the last legislation gave thatjob to 0fcom, totally independent body. i used to work there, declare an interest. i'm an admirer, i think they do a good job. i think they would not have made mistakes the bbc has made. now what is being suggested by some people — and we hear that the government might be interested — is setting up some kind of internal committee with outsiders to kind of oversee complaints. i could see what might appear to be the attractions of that. what i would warn against is any intermediaries, really, in the system who dilute the bbc's accountability to 0fcom and to the public. we can't have a bbc saying, "well actually," you know, "we agree with you. "we thought this but these outsiders came in and told us "to do it in a different way." no, the bbc must maintain its editorial control but it must also be accountable to 0fcom. that's the way forward, and if there is a way that we can bring outside
7:55 am
expertise as well without diluting it, fine, but let's now, in a sense, lose the whole thing out of a single incident. we have heard some viewers saying that they just don't think they can trust the bbc any more. do trust and particularly with bbc news, is possibly now fundamentally broken? let me give you an example of why i think it is so difficult to rebuild trust. back in 2006, 2007, a former bbc producer, now a freelancer, asked under the freedom of information act for the files on this bashir affair and was told there were no files. now, we have lord dyson yesterday quoting liberally from files which, somehow, have suddenly appeared. now, what does that tell us? we can only conclude from that that somebody, back in 2006 or '07, blocked an investigation and the truth. how can you just say, well, these things happen?" that was a deliberate act and i think they were blocking by bbc management of the truth went on for some time after that, i think.
7:56 am
so i think the bbc has to rebuild the trust, it has to rebuild the assumption that when the bbc says something, it's true, because on this occasion, it didn't turn out to be the case. stewart purvis, thank you so much. after 11 days of fighting, israel and hamas agreed a ceasefire but hundreds of people, mostly palestinians, have been left dead. as ever with the middle east, the precise chain of events and their causes are passionately disputed and so, too, is the media coverage of the conflict. here are some different perspectives from viewers on the bbc's reporting from the region over the past couple of weeks. it is obvious bbc journalists carefully choose words to convey a particular narrative. words like conflict, militants, violence, are carefully chosen to mask that israeli's military and financial powers are far more advanced than that of any target. the manipulation of language used by the bbc
7:57 am
is very sickening. gunfire. the beating, shooting, sound bombs and tear—gassing of worshippers in a mosque are not 'clashes'. i wanted to comment on the obvious bias of the bbc's reporting on the current— israeli—palestinian conflict. and i wish to point out that israel is not the perpetrator, israel was defending itself against an unprovoked attack on its citizens. and i accept that palestinians have a right to be heard, and of course it should be covered by yourjournalists, but then the israelis should be afforded the same reporting rights, but it isn't. i am extremely- concerned about the way that the bbc is framing all of its coverage - of what is going on in israel and| palestine, in particular- by the uses of the phrases
7:58 am
palestinian militants and israeli soldiers. | this suggests that in some way or another what the israelis - are doing is legitimate i and what the palestinians we asked bbc news for a statement about the coverage and they told us: thank you for all of your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on the bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, e—mail newswatch. or you can find us on twitter. you can call us.
7:59 am
and do have a look at previous interviews on our website. that is all from us. we will be back to hear your thoughts on bbc news coverage next week. thank you. goodbye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: the vaccine programme rolls on in england. more than a million 32 and 33—year—olds can now book their jabs. germany imposes a strict quarantine on travellers from the uk because of the rise in cases of the indian variant of covid—19. it's back! after a year out because of the pandemic, eurovision returns.
8:01 am
the oldest swinger in town — 50—year—old phil mickelson shares the lead at the halfway point of the uspga, aiming to become the oldest player to win a major golf title. good morning. it's a drier, brighter, and crucially less windy day out there today. we've still got a few showers around in the forecast, but i'll have all of the details for you here on breakfast. it's saturday, 22nd may. our top story: people aged 32 and 33 in england are now eligible to book their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine. 0nline booking is open and text messages will be sent over the next few days. it comes as germany announced that all travellers from the uk will have to quarantine for two weeks on arrival even if they're fully vaccinated because of the rise in cases of the indian variant of coronavirus. germany is still on the uk government's amber list, strongly advising against nonessential travel. sean dilley reports.
8:02 am
it's a decision that comes just days after the eu gave its members the green light to welcome fully vaccinated british tourists. from midnight tomorrow, germany will close its borders to all travel from the uk, except for german residents and citizens, due to concerns about rising cases of the indian variants. those who are allowed in will be made to quarantine for two weeks. spain, on the other hand, is lifting all restrictions on uk holiday—makers. from monday, british tourists will not need a negative covid test to enter the country. in the uk, surge testing is under way in several areas including bolton, bedford and north london, to identify cases of the indian variants. figures from the office for national statistics show a slight increase in the number of reported infections across england last week. but the data suggests the kent rather than the indian variant is responsible. at the moment, though, the uk government says it's on course to ease restrictions injune. we'll be letting everybody know
8:03 am
exactly what sort of arrangements to expect forjune the 21st, but what i can tell you, and just to stress, i'm still seeing nothing in the data that leads me to think that we're going to have to deviate from the road map. it's a good news day for england's vaccination programme, as more than a million 32 and 33—year—olds become eligible to book theirjabs. scotland is currently offering the jab to people over the age of 30. wales has already started inviting those from 18—25 for their jabs, and in northern ireland, anybody who will be 25 or older on the 21st ofjuly can book an appointment. there's still a way to go before everyone is offered the jab but the government has praised the nhs for delivering the largest vaccination programme in its history and it says it will monitor the progress of any variants closely. sean dilley, bbc news. coronavirus restrictions have been eased in moray in north—east scotland.
8:04 am
the move from level three to two means that pubs and restaurants can serve alcohol indoors until 10.30pm in the evening. glasgow is to remain under tighter controls for another week because of concern about a continued rise in cases. a testing project which analyses sewage water for early signs of coronavirus outbreaks has been expanded to cover two—thirds of england's population. public health officials say the sampling acts as "an extra layer of reassurance" on the effectiveness of lockdown restrictions. here's our science correspondent victoria gill. early in the pandemic, scientists confirmed that waste water could be tested for genetic fragments of sars—cov—2 virus. since then, the government set out to take samples from sewage treatment plants across england. that sewage sampling, which scientists say can pick up the virus earlier than testing in a population, has now been ramped up. and researchers say that 500 locations are being monitored for coronavirus —
8:05 am
many of them sampled at least four days a week. it's a sewage—based coronavirus tracking project that was developed from scratch over the last year. the health secretary said earlier this week that the approach was being used to monitor the indian variant and track its spread. waste water testing has been described as an additional detection system for covid—19, helping health officials to spot early signals of localised outbreaks and variants of concern, as the country tentatively emerges from restrictions. and the system could continue post covid, enabling the use of waste water to track diseases like flu. scientists who helped set up sewage testing programme say it could be one public health silver lining of the pandemic. victoria gill, bbc news. ministers will give the bbc a chance to introduce its own reforms in response to the damning independent inquiry into how journalist martin bashir obtained his panorama interview with princess diana in 1995. any changes could come next year as part of a planned mid—term

8:09 am
eurovision isn'tjust about the songs, but the spectacle. and some performers are stealing that spotlight. in the end, it's up to them, and you. you'll have a chance to vote for your number one during tonight's grand final. anna holligan, bbc news, inside rotterdam's ahoy arena. yesterday on breakfast, we watched runner gary mckee set off on his 110th marathon in 110 days and we're delighted to tell you he's finished his challenge and raised thousands of pounds for charity. gary has completed the same 26.2 mile circuit near his home every day since february in memory of his father, who died in 2003. the 51—year—old has raised nearly £120,000 for macmillan cancer support, smashing his initial target of £10,000.

8:13 am
was deeply concerned about the ability of the border force to be able to cope with the increased volume of traffic as travel rules were eased. you will be aware there will be lots of travellers who say i got straight through, wasn't checked, nothing asked. what is the proportion in terms of how many passengers border force would be expected to check?— expected to check? border force should be checking _ expected to check? border force should be checking 10096 - expected to check? border force should be checking 10096 of - should be checking 100% of passengers. a lot depends upon how well the passengers behave in terms of completing the forms. you know what it is like buying into this country, you can find your pen, your mobile phone has gone dead, all of these things happen to passengers ahead of you in the queue. it is usually frustrating, you are tapping your feet sang, why is it taking so long? passengers haven't completed their necessary declarations, it is not that the border force are being

8:15 am
terminals so we can have assurance that these checks have been done at the boarding point. there are technologies available to do that, but they are not sufficiently joined appeared to give us the assurance that we can reintroduce seamless flows through the border. it will take a concerted effort, notjust from the border force but the airlines, the authorities, the passengers to get this right. lots of people in the border force are really keen to let people through, we do want to hold up innocent passengers any more than they want to be held up, but there is a process that we are obliged to go through in law and it is important that everybody plays their part. tony smith, thank you so much. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather.
8:16 am
good morning. the weather will be playful at times through the weekend, it will be improved compared to the strong winds and heavy rain yesterday. this is the beautiful view in county down. we have some blue sky there. the best of the sunshine is across parts of northern ireland and scotland this morning. of the of the day the sunshine will drift across more of the uk, so drier, brighter, less windy than the last couple of days. still a few showers around today, so not dry across the board. the low pressure is now clearing away towards the east. stokoe close enough to influence our weather, particularly for parts of eastern scotland and eastern england. higher pressure is trying to move him from the west. still quite like this morning for much of england and will, some rain initially for the southeast with a few showers dotted around elsewhere, as well. the sunshine will filter across the rest
8:17 am
of the uk throughout the day. temperatures between ten and 15 degrees. it will feel pleasant enoughin degrees. it will feel pleasant enough in the lighter winds and sunshine today. just the camps —— chance of catching one or two showers. most of the showers fade away overnight tonight. it becomes dry but we still have cool air with us, so quite chilly nights. it could be a touch of frost in more prone spots in scotland in the far north of england. wherever you are, quite a cool, crisp, but largely sunny start to sunday. there is more cloud and rain pitching into the far west. through the day tomorrow there will be more rain around. it is moving from west to east gradually. it will turn easier later in the day. we will start with some drier pressure, but this low pressure is bringing us later in the day heavy bursts of rain. the rim tomorrow will push into northern ireland through the course of the morning, heading into
8:18 am
western parts of britain in the afternoon. quite a bit of dry weather down the east coast, just the odd scattered shower ahead of this main band of heavy rain that will be followed and saturated ground, so that could be localised flooding. top temperatures 13 or 14 degrees. into monday, the main band of rain clears from the east, still lingers across scotland, but similar to what we have seen over the past week or so, sunshine and scattered showers. some of them are quite happy with some hail and thunder mixed in. 13 or14 happy with some hail and thunder mixed in. 13 or 14 degrees on monday. it looks like we start this working week on that unsettled node. bear with the weather, i will leave you with some optimism for the rest of the week. into the bank holiday weekend, temperature starting to nudge up with drier and brighter weather eventually on the way. the continued fallout
8:19 am
from the publication of the report into martin bashir�*s1995 interview with princess diana, leads many of the front pages this morning. the daily mail reports that earl spencer, diana's brother, has written to the metropolitan police asking them to investigate the bbc over the interview. the paper calls it "one of the worst crises" in the bbc's history. according to the guardian, there are fears about the "feeding frenzy" on the bbc. it quotes a former chair of the bbc trust, who warns there is a danger of destroying something that "would be impossible to recreate". the front page also features some remarks from prince harry during an appearance on a television series about mental health. the times also leads with the duke of sussex's comments. it quotes him saying how he was willing to use drink and drugs to try to deal with his mother's death. we're joined now by katie nicholl, royal editor at vanity fair. good morning to you. we have spoken

many times over issues with the royal family and the relationship with the media. after what has been a seismic couple of days for the bbc, from the reaction from the royalfamily, what bbc, from the reaction from the royal family, what are you making what is happening now? it is royal family, what are you making what is happening now?— what is happening now? it is an extraordinary _ what is happening now? it is an extraordinary story. _ what is happening now? it is an extraordinary story. there - what is happening now? it is an extraordinary story. there is i what is happening now? it is an extraordinary story. there is a i what is happening now? it is an i extraordinary story. there is a bit of a battle between the brothers in terms of who will be on the front page, because we had that extraordinary statement from prince william on the day of the lord dyson report with a very personal, very raw reaction to the findings of the investigation. within 24 hours of the investigation coming to light, we have prince harry speaking very candidly in a new apple tv series and really taking another pop at the royal family, and really taking another pop at the royalfamily, so it has been a pretty busy 48 hours, but quite
8:21 am
extraordinary as well. you made reference to _ extraordinary as well. you made reference to the _ extraordinary as well. you made reference to the statement - extraordinary as well. you made reference to the statement from prince william. i quote i will pick out is that it brings indescribable sadness to know that the bbc's failures contributed hugely to her paranoia and isolation that i remember from paranoia and isolation that i rememberfrom my final years paranoia and isolation that i remember from my final years with her. as you say, this is deeply personal. the question people will be asking now is what will prince william be wanting to see in terms of a change? i william be wanting to see in terms of a change?— of a change? i think it will be watchino of a change? i think it will be watching very _ of a change? i think it will be watching very closely. - of a change? i think it will be watching very closely. this i of a change? i think it will be watching very closely. this is j of a change? i think it will be - watching very closely. this is not a drawing of a line by many means. there are so many unanswered questions. why was martin bashir allowed back into the bbc to become its religious correspondence? i think you are right, there is a bigger underlying issue here between
8:22 am
the royals and the media. the royals at the moment are really out of the media, the situation between william and harry has been making headlines for over a year. i have covered the princes for the last 15 years and it has always been a very fractious, quite difficult at times relationship between them and the media. sometimes it has been very good, but there have been so many times it has been tenuous, to say the least. this is a clear explanation as to why. a reclusive star in statement to blame panorama. william is a bit more careful, he links it to the breakdown of his parents's marriage and the paranoia that was reinforced by what she was told by martin bashir. there is an inherent distrust of the media. it is interesting we are seeing at the
8:23 am
moment the cambridge is exploring new forms of media. they are going directly to the consumer and almost cutting out the mainstream media. i think that was always inevitable, it is the way the world is going, to a degree. at the heart of it is that because of this distrust? foodie degree. at the heart of it is that because of this distrust? we look at those two young _ because of this distrust? we look at those two young men, _ because of this distrust? we look at those two young men, prince - because of this distrust? we look at those two young men, prince harry| those two young men, prince harry and prince william, prince harry has literally said this, that he will not be silenced to talk about these things, that he believes he has to say. in his own way, prince william has done the same thing. there would have been a time when a member of the royalfamily would not have been a time when a member of the royal family would not have given a public statement on camera in relation to an event like this. this is a patent that is very different from what we have seen before. ~ , ., ~' different from what we have seen before. ~ , ., ,, ., before. when you think about the queen and _
8:24 am
before. when you think about the queen and the _ before. when you think about the queen and the mantra _ before. when you think about the queen and the mantra that - before. when you think about the queen and the mantra that has i before. when you think about the - queen and the mantra that has always reigned during her reign, which is never complained, never explain, absolutely we are seeing a completely different approach to the media. and harry said he wasn't going to be silenced, he was talking about not being silenced to talk about not being silenced to talk about the institution. to go back to the point about william's statement, when you watch to make that statement, this is a future king attacking the national broadcaster in the most blistering of forms. it was unusual to watch, it was quite unprecedented. i think the message is clear, we want to have our say, we will not be silenced. 0ne is clear, we want to have our say, we will not be silenced. one wonders if diana is watching down on all of this and thinking, good for you, boys, because you are having your say. i think a lot of people aren't happy about the things that prince
8:25 am
harry is saying, but he does say that documentary there is a lot of my mother in me and he is speaking out. diana was the ultimate disrupter of monarchy. when you look at both of her sons, but particularly prince harry, he is very much following in his footsteps. very much following in his footsteps-— very much following in his footste-s. . . ., . ,, very much following in his footste-s. . . ., . ~' , ., footsteps. katie nicholl, thank you ve much footsteps. katie nicholl, thank you very much for— footsteps. katie nicholl, thank you very much for that. _ katie nicholl, thank you very much for that. if you're a music lover, you're spoilt for choice tonight. 0n bbc one you've got eurovision, whilst online there's a special programme from the organisers of glastonbury festival. coldplay, damon albarn and george ezra arejust some of the acts who have recorded sets for 'live at worthy farm' — a mini version of the main event which has been cancelled for a second year in a row. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been behind the scenes. the glastonbury festival, not normally associated with peace and tranquillity. the grass is pretty long, kind of mid—calf length. yeah, it's, may so everything is pure, peak life. the festival boss, emily eavis, gave us a tour of the fan—free site.
8:26 am
so here we are on worthy farm, you can see the pyramid stage here, it's all systems go. glastonbury was cancelled for the second year in a row, but now music has returned, just without crowds. every day this week acts have arrived... drum fill. ..to prerecord their sets for tonight's live stream. it's going to be a really specialfilm, whichjust, you know, celebrates the farm and the festival, and shows all these artists in a completely different way, without the audience, but here, on worthy farm. the only way for people to see the event is to pay £20 for an online ticket. it is a way of kind of, you know, kind of balancing out a bit from our losses. we lost £5 million, so it's an enormous amount, we're obviously not to get that back, but it's a way of giving work to people, getting a little bit of money back in the pot and doing something really creative and interesting.
8:27 am
the return of glastonbury in any form is also hugely important for the crew, many of whom have hardly worked for more than a year. it's been an incredibly difficult time for a lot of people, so to be able to do this and employ the number of people we've been able to employ on this has meant so much to me personally, to send those emails and make those calls, to say "we've got a job for you", that has meant the most to me in this whole project, definitely. that field there was the first place i ever camped, - in the dragon field. it's also clear how much it means to the acts, including wolf alice. moaning lisa smile plays. wolf alice have played at three glastonburys, the last time on the pyramid stage. the venue for this is on a rather different scale. this is quite a place to play a gig. i know, it's going to feel like a dream. is this you? this is me, this is my musical cave.
8:28 am
i'm really excited actually about playing in the round, i've always wanted to go to a wolf alice show, i feel like i'll finally be able to watch us play. # cause it's lies after lies after lies... and they are delighted to be doing their part to help the festival. glastonbury is one of the most important cultural events that we have in the united kingdom, and worldwide, especially for music but also there's tonnes of stuff, dance and theatre, that goes on here, stand—up. and to not have that, yeah, it's a big hole in the social calendar. glastonbury is of course going head—to—head with one other major music event tonight — eurovision. that's why they have decided to run repeats of the live stream tomorrow. we love eurovision, and actually a lot of people were like, look, we really want to watch yours, so we are going to do both. maybe you need to book abba, then you can have the ultimate eurovision—glastonbury mashup. yeah.
8:29 am
0bviously, i'd love abba. and get ready to dust off your wellies — glastonbury is due to return in full nextjune. the line—ups are already 90% in place, the fields will be somewhat busier. colin patterson, bbc news, worthy farm. 'live at worthy farm' will be streamed online at 7.00pm this evening, with repeats tomorrow at 2.00pm and 7.00pm. still to come on breakfast, our covid experts dr chris smith and professor linda bauld join us in the studio in person for the first time to answer your questions. and they have met each other for the first time! they are saying, you are clever. you are clever, too! we pass on your questions to these two and for a long time they have been on

in pep guardiola so i couldn't get rid of her. we're also talking about sol bamba, he announced he cancer free, he was diagnosed with non—hodgkin's lymphoma in 2020 but it is wonderful news and we will hear from it is wonderful news and we will hearfrom him. mark clemmit will talk us through the situation with various play—off surrender leads and we have mark lawrenson and dion dublin with us, and might thank you for taking care of me on sunday mornings for many years. it has always been a pleasure talking to you on sunday mornings. i am not disappearing entirely. look forward to more pop _ disappearing entirely. look forward to more pop pap— disappearing entirely. look forward to more pop pap chat _ disappearing entirely. look forward to more pop pap chat on _ disappearing entirely. look forward to more pop pap chat on football. to more pop pap chat on football focus at lunchtime. in nine weeks' time, the tokyo olympics will be under way, and yesterday, we heard that team gb athletes will receive two doses of a coronavirus vaccine before heading to japan. hoping to be among them is sprinter adam gemili,
8:35 am
who returns to action in tomorrow evening's diamond league meeting in gateshead. hejoins me now. morning, adam. thanks for your time as you prepare for gateshead. first of all how are you feeling ahead of this weekend and the olympics? it's all coming around so quickly, it's nice to be back competing on british soil this weekend in front of a home crowd, athletics was one of a home crowd, athletics was one of the last to introduce a crowd back into the sport so it's nice that we will have fans there, i don't know what interaction we will get with them but i think it's don't know what interaction we will get with them but i think its two months until tokyo so it's all guns blazing, got to run fast and get it right forjapan. blazing, got to run fast and get it right forjapan— blazing, got to run fast and get it right forjapan. what difference has it made to the _ right forjapan. what difference has it made to the way _ right forjapan. what difference has it made to the way you're _ right forjapan. what difference has it made to the way you're feeling, i it made to the way you're feeling, the fact we have got this news that all gb athletes will have two doses, they will be fully vaccinated before heading to japan, has it made you feel safe? i heading to japan, has it made you feel safe? ., . heading to japan, has it made you feel safe? . , ., ., feel safe? i was training out in america it's — feel safe? i was training out in america it's i _

8:37 am
itjust could you explain more about that? it just feels very, could you explain more about that? itjust feels very, and i agree, i've been getting a lot of backlash online, keep politics out of sport! i think the issue is that have happened, especially in the last year and a half are bigger than sport and politics, it's about being a good human, and the fact the ioc is so quick to dismiss any sort of protest orfreedom of is so quick to dismiss any sort of protest or freedom of speech is disappointing because i get it, you want to keep things separate but if an athlete takes the knee on the podium or before a race after a race on the track, and then you subsequently banned them from all future 0lympic events, i don't see how that can be a thing, i don't see how that can be a thing, i don't see how that's possible and i know the power but if the home nation governing bodies came together and supported their athletes can i don't see how they could do that. it would make more sense for them to say
8:38 am
before the olympic team start, you can take a knee if you want, and then... so can take a knee if you want, and then... ,, can take a knee if you want, and then... y., ., can take a knee if you want, and then... i. ., ., ., can take a knee if you want, and then... ,, ., ., ., ., then... so you want to hear that ouestion then... so you want to hear that question what — then... so you want to hear that question what yeah, _ then... so you want to hear that question what yeah, then - then... so you want to hear that question what yeah, then i - then... so you want to hear thatj question what yeah, then i think athletes would be satisfied they are getting an opportunity to speak and you wouldn't see anything when people are competing to fact you tell them you are not allowed to do what makes people want to do it more. the problem is the ioc will point to their charter, rule 50 says that for demonstrations or political demonstrations were can do, so if you make the podium and you know that rule is in place, how will that affect what you do on that podium? i think i would still definitely take any and i would have to deal with the consequences, i think a lot of athletes would as well. i have a lot of friends who have been a affected by issues, race issues, myself included over the years, so it's a
8:39 am
great opportunity and a great movement to bring people together and people finally realise it's not good enough in today's society, so we need to kick it out as quickly as possible. we need to kick it out as quickly as tossible. ., .., we need to kick it out as quickly as tossible. ., .. ,., we need to kick it out as quickly as tossible. ., . ., possible. you came so close to nuzzle on _ possible. you came so close to nuzzle on the _ possible. you came so close to nuzzle on the in _ possible. you came so close to nuzzle on the in 2016, - possible. you came so close to nuzzle on the in 2016, if - possible. you came so close to nuzzle on the in 2016, if you i possible. you came so close to i nuzzle on the in 2016, if you make at this time, even if it meant that punishment was to strip you of that medal, would you still take that stand? i medal, would you still take that stand? , ~ medal, would you still take that stand? , ,, ,., stand? i definitely think so. i would hope _ stand? i definitely think so. i would hope it _ stand? i definitely think so. i would hope it wouldn't - stand? i definitely think so. i would hope it wouldn't get i stand? i definitely think so. i | would hope it wouldn't get to stand? i definitely think so. i - would hope it wouldn't get to that for any athlete, i would hope an athlete who puts in a good performance would get to keep their medal but if it does come to being that brutal, that's when i said all hell will break loose because if you try to take an athlete's medal away for something that they haven't cheated on the track, that's completely unjust and i don't agree with that and i think a lot of athletes would back me up. let's talk about tomorrow, _ athletes would back me up. let's talk about tomorrow, returning to action, gateshead, we don't yet know
8:40 am
if there will be fans at the olympics, somejapanese if there will be fans at the olympics, some japanese fans if there will be fans at the olympics, somejapanese fans but 0lympics, somejapanese fans but there will be a bit of a crowd. what would make of a difference at gateshead tomorrow, it will be on bbc as well? it gateshead tomorrow, it will be on bbc as well?— bbc as well? it makes a huge difference. — bbc as well? it makes a huge difference, as _ bbc as well? it makes a huge difference, as an _ bbc as well? it makes a huge difference, as an athlete - bbc as well? it makes a huge difference, as an athlete we i bbc as well? it makes a huge - difference, as an athlete we don't get many opportunities to compete in front of a crowd and to have that noise, before we start the race it's completely silent and the silence is so loud and almost deafening and then the starter is set and you stay in that silence and then he says go and the whole crowd erupts, everything explodes around you and you go out there and race and it makes such a big difference and a boost to your performance because you're notjust competing in silence and complete cloud stadiums, so for all sports but especially track and field, we don't get that opportunity often comes it's exciting, ijust hope by tokyo they can figure out
8:41 am
having some sort of home fans in there at least because it makes a huge difference.— there at least because it makes a huge difference. adam, thanks for our huge difference. adam, thanks for your time. — huge difference. adam, thanks for your time. i _ huge difference. adam, thanks for your time, i wish _ huge difference. adam, thanks for your time, i wish you _ huge difference. adam, thanks for your time, i wish you well - huge difference. adam, thanks for i your time, i wish you well tomorrow and at the olympics and as a viewer i agree and make such a difference watching on telly when there is a crowd rather than artificial noise, as we have seen in the last week with the returns of fans of rugby and cricket, just as a viewer it makes a real difference. absolutely, really interesting interview. taking a stand, very principled and it looks like we will stick with that so maybe there will be dialogue between the ioc and different countries, at least that is what we hope. a brand new museum celebrating the history of manufacturing has finally opened after being delayed by the pandemic. the 300—year—old silk mill in derby is thought to be one of the world's first factories and is now home to the museum of making. 0ur midlands correspondent phil mackie went along for the opening day.
8:42 am
it has been a long time in the making — 300 years to be exact. the silk mill in derby is widely regarded as the world's first modern factory and now, it has been given a makeover as a museum which will celebrate our manufacturing heritage. this engine, made by one of derby's biggest employers rolls—royce, is so big they put up the rest of the building around it. made in 1721 and remade in 2021. it should have opened last year but everything was put on hold because of the pandemic. cheering and applause. it is an important moment for derby now that the public have finally been allowed in. this is a brand new attraction in the centre of the city. we really think it will be that catalyst to get people to come back into the city centre, enjoy what we have got here, enjoy its cultural heritage, maybe go shopping and eat out as well, so city centre recovery
8:43 am
is really important, too. and if you like to make things yourself, then you can, here in the workshop, doing anything from carpentry to laser cutting. so it's a really eclectic mix in the assemblage. i love the different types of things that you can find. nothing is held in storage, which means there are 30,000 objects on show, and they are not even sure of what everything is. we might have thing that are really personal to one particular factory or one particular area of derby, and it's really going to be those people who know that and have that knowledge that come and bring that to us. so somebody comes in here and sees something, they will assume you know what it is but actually, you might not and they will, so you want them to come and tell you what things are? we do, we want them to come in and explore it and if they have the knowledge, bring it and share it with us. welcome. welcome to the museum of making. thank you very much. we are still in a pandemic which means facemasks on indoors, hand sanitiser, checking in properly. but despite that, and limited
8:44 am
numbers, there is a lot of enthusiasm and it is fully booked today. the museum's very first visitors were fiona and martinjones. making stuff is what got me through the pandemic. i spent a lot of time making presents for christmas and my mum's birthday, so — and that has been my life—saver through the pandemic. what we've seen so far we are very impressed with, and we will certainly be back. they are expecting the first school trips next week but before that, there was a chance for the preschool generation to take a look. phil mackie, bbc news, derby. earlier this year, bristol zoo welcomed a new arrival — hasani, a baby gorilla. we're just we'rejust going to we're just going to show you quickly, we are going to go to zoo and you canjust quickly, we are going to go to zoo and you can just see. quickly, we are going to go to zoo and you canjust see. this is our guest, obviously not the gorilla,

8:46 am
germany, and that was tradition, it was a long—term process to hand rear animals but she came here and settled into our group and over the last few years she has seen a lot of other females have their own offspring and she had her own in 2016 but she had significant problems, we had to deliver it by c—section and she never connected with that baby and we had to give that baby to a different female to raise and that female is still in the group so this time we had this baby we had to hand rear, we were hoping we could integrate hasani, this latest one, back with mum but when mum didn't work out we had to go to plan b and because kera had been so keen to spend time with hasanithe been so keen to spend time with hasani the time we were hand rearing, she would always be keen to play with him, we felt we would give her a go and it's almost bittersweet that she couldn't raise her own offspring but has taken responsibility for hasani. about! offspring but has taken responsibility for hasani. and as ou were responsibility for hasani. and as you were talking _ responsibility for hasani. and as you were talking we _ responsibility for hasani. and as you were talking we are - responsibility for hasani. and as you were talking we are seeing i

8:48 am
to save the infant's life is what we do. it was a very interesting few months, we had accommodation in the zoo we were using to hand rear so he would spend all day beside the gorillas, in the building, in a tent next to the gorillas so he could see and hear and smell them that he was with us, not with them, so we wouldn't take him somewhere quiet overnight so he could get some sleep but you don't want to cuddle them or treat them like a human, you have to treat them like a human, you have to treat them like a human, you have to treat them like a monk of all it would so you have to be quite rough with them and play with them but you also have to be with him all the time, infant gorillas have to be with their mums for several years so it was very important to get him back with a female that he had that instinct to grip on tight all the time so we spent all our time with him and we had him, we did rotated without six keepers were hand rearing him in total so he was used

to being passed round which is quite good for him because then you will pass him to a gorilla to look after it did include things like sleeping with him so it kept us on our house. and i know you said you cannot treat them like humans. we arejust mesmerised by kera behind you was doing some great acrobatics but you cannot treat them like humans but they developed in such similar ways, they developed in such similar ways, they go through their teenage bits and are cheeky to their parents. what is his little personality like and how does kera cope with him? they are actually a very good match, he's incredibly stubborn, very tenacious and i think that is what kept him alive the first four weeks because he did well initially with his mouth then we saw him get weaker and i think his stubbornness and determination kind of helped there and re—so that if he doesn't want a bottle he doesn't have his bottle of milk and if he wants to play he
8:50 am
likes to play rough and he was quite by t, a typical boy, wants to run around and do lots of silly things and he is still like that but kera is also quite playful, she has always been almost one of the kids evened out she is our oldest female, there is still that bit of child left in her and they had these big rough play sessions and get on well. can i give you permission to talk to our camera person, we are now finishing with you, lovely to talk to you, can you get that camera to look over and play the where is kera competition because i saw her disappearing? it's been lovely talking to you, and shall we just look at this? thank you, lindsay. it's an absolute privilege to be able to see her and she has spotted us. i'm sorry, camera person, excellent work but beware because she has her eye on you.
8:51 am
where is she headed? now she's going to come towards the camera. take a moment. she is off again. that's fantastic! you are seeing their kera, a surrogate mum to a little baby called hasani and we were just talking to the curator, the curator of mammals at bristol zoo, lynsey bugg. it seems a shame to leave the pictures, you could just kind of watch and for a moment i thought we would not see her at all, she would disappear. not camera shy at all. sarah, i don't think you can be that. at least there was no rain. it was beautiful. stunning and i think we're quite
8:52 am
lucky because kera like many people is taking advantage of the drier weather, she is coming out and enjoying a bit of blue sky and many of us through the day will have an improved date compared to the strong winds and heavy rain yesterday so this is west sussex this morning, still a bit of cloud but some glimpses of blue sky and more places will see things brighten up so quite a lot of dry weather, brighter and less windy than yesterday but still a few showers on the cloud so it won't be dry everywhere but this area of low pressure with clouds swirling around that brought yesterday's weather, that's clearing away to the east can still quite breezy conditions for eastern scotland and eastern england but higher pressure from the west will quieten things down for most of us so a bit of cloud initially for england and wales, the best sunshine for scotland and northern ireland and those risk of these skies will filter their way east so this afternoon sunny spells and scattered
8:53 am
showers, some dry weather especially towards wales and south—west england, you could catch a passing shower, temperatures of 10—15 so not great, only ten days away from the start of summer, still some heavy showers in the evening that they fade away overnight so clear and ripe for many of us and quite chilly, could be a touch of late season frost across parts of scotland and northern england, properly frost—free further south but a fresh start to sunday, sunshine for most of us, rain and cloud already in the west and on sunday that rain will push its way slowly west to east some more rain, breezier later but before this area of low pressure arrives there will be some drier weather for eastern areas can it will turn breezy but not as windy as it was over the last couple of days. sunday eastern scotland and eastern england hold on to the brightest and driest weather there will be heavy rain initially
8:54 am
for northern ireland, a band of rain sweeping into western england, wales and scotland, the issue largely dry but a few scattered showers arrive before the band of rain, temperatures only 13 or 1a degrees in the sunny spells, under the rain 11 or 12, that area of rain clears from the east on monday but then lingers across parts of scotland and for the rest of the uk monday brings another day of sunshine and scattered showers, some heavy, not especially warm, so heading through the new working week, it starts off in that charlie unsettled ned there with the weather, gradually throughout the week you start to see temperatures creeping up, we could see 20 degrees by the bank holiday weekend towards the south. sarah, thank you very much. this year's eurovision song contest is taking place tonight under strict coronavirus restrictions in rotterdam. iceland's entry, and last year's

9:01 am
more than a million 32 and 33—year—olds can now book their jabs. germany imposes a strict quarantine on travellers from the uk because of the rise in cases of the indian variant of covid—19. it's back! after a year out because of the pandemic, eurovision returns. rolling back the years — 50—year—old phil mickelson shares the lead at the halfway point of the uspga, aiming to become the oldest player to win a major golf title. good morning. it's a drier, brighter, and crucially less windy day out there today. we've still got a few showers around in the forecast, but i'll have all of the details for you here on breakfast. it's saturday, 22nd may. our top story: people aged 32 and 33 in england are now eligible to book their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
9:02 am
0nline booking is open, and text messages will be sent over the next few days. it comes as germany announced that all travellers from the uk will have to quarantine for two weeks on arrival, even if they're fully vaccinated, because of the rise in cases of the indian variant of coronavirus. germany is still on the uk government's amber list, strongly advising against non—essential travel. sean dilley reports. it's a decision that comes just days after the eu gave its members the green light to welcome fully vaccinated british tourists. from midnight tomorrow, germany will close its borders to all travel from the uk, except for german residents and citizens, due to concerns about rising cases of the indian variants. those who are allowed in will be made to quarantine for two weeks. spain, on the other hand, is lifting all restrictions on uk holiday—makers. from monday, british tourists will not need a negative covid test to enter the country. in the uk, surge testing
9:03 am
is under way in several areas including bolton, bedford and north london, to identify cases of the indian variants. figures from the office for national statistics show a slight increase in the number of reported infections across england last week. but the data suggests the kent rather than the indian variant is responsible. at the moment, though, the uk government says it's on course to ease restrictions injune. we'll be letting everybody know exactly what sort of arrangements to expect forjune 21st, but what i can tell you, and just to stress, i'm still seeing nothing in the data that leads me to think that we're going to have to deviate from the road map. it's a good news day for england's vaccination programme, as more than a million 32 and 33—year—olds become eligible to book theirjabs. scotland is currently offering the jab to people over the age of 30. wales has already started inviting those from 18—25 for their jabs, and in northern ireland,
9:04 am
anybody who will be 25 or older on the 21st ofjuly can book an appointment. there's still a way to go before everyone is offered the jab but the government has praised the nhs for delivering the largest vaccination programme in its history and it says it will monitor the progress of any variants closely. sean dilley, bbc news. coronavirus restrictions have been eased in moray in north—east scotland. the move from level three to two means that pubs and restaurants can serve alcohol indoors until 10.30pm in the evening. glasgow is to remain under tighter controls for another week because of concern about a continued rise in cases. a testing project which analyses sewage water for early signs of coronavirus outbreaks has been expanded to cover two—thirds of england's population. public health officials say the sampling acts as "an extra layer of reassurance" on the effectiveness of lockdown restrictions. here's our science correspondent victoria gill.
9:05 am
early in the pandemic, scientists confirmed that waste water could be tested for genetic fragments of sars—covi—2 virus. since then, the government set out to take samples from sewage treatment plants across england. that sewage sampling, which scientists say can pick up the virus earlier than testing in a population, has now been ramped up. and researchers say that 500 locations are being monitored for coronavirus — many of them sampled at least four days a week. it's a sewage—based coronavirus tracking project that was developed from scratch over the last year. the health secretary said earlier this week that the approach was being used to monitor the indian variant and track its spread. waste water testing has been described as an additional detection system for covid—19, helping health officials to spot early signals of localised outbreaks and variants of concern, as the country tentatively emerges from restrictions. and the system could continue post covid, enabling the use of waste water to track diseases like flu.
9:06 am
scientists who helped set up sewage testing programme say it could be one public health silver lining of the pandemic. victoria gill, bbc news. ministers will give the bbc a chance to introduce its own reforms in response to the damning independent inquiry into how journalist martin bashir obtained his panorama interview with princess diana in 1995. any changes could come next year as part of a planned mid—term review of the bbc charter. mps are still demanding answers over what went wrong, but the corporation's director general, tim davie, says "significantly stronger processes" are already in place. broadcasterjeremy paxman has revealed he has been diagnosed with parkinson's disease. in a brief statement, the former newsnight presenter, who is 71, said he was receiving "excellent" treatment and that his symptoms are "currently mild". he says he plans to continue working. two chimneys at a former brickworks
9:07 am
that have dominated the skyline of fenland in cambridgeshire for the last 50 years have been demolished. the 85—metre tall structures at saxon pits in whittlesey were deemed too unsafe to remain standing. controlled explosions were carried out to topple the chimneys, which were built in 1971. i think it is a generational thing, i think it is a generational thing, i never get bored of watching chimneys demolished. when we were talking about that earlier on, i made the illusion if you assume that a chimney has character, the explosions happened and the chimneys don't know yet that it is over. for a moment they are still standing and they don't know that there is nothing underneath. you know when a cartoon character's legs are
9:08 am
running, and there is a moment when it doesn't start moving, then it starts moving? very much like that. roadrunner did exactly that. you know what i'm talking about. two things to say to you, cartoons aren't real, the chimneys don't have feelings, so they don't know. it's a shame, we don't have that tumbleweed effect, because for once it is not something i said. effect, because for once it is not something i said. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. she was biting her lip because she couldn't believe what you were saying. thank you, sarah. you can slip me that tanner later on! the weather today, it will be a bit
9:09 am
more optimistic out there, certainly compared to yesterday. yesterday we had the really strong winds causing disruption and heavy rain. today, things are a bit quieter. a little bit of blue sky, quite a bit of cloud around, but through the course of the day things will brighten up. still a few showers around, so not dry across the board. it will be drier, righterand dry across the board. it will be drier, righter and less windy than it has been. here is the low pressure that is now pushing up towards the east. low pressure is still close enough to bring breezy conditions around the east coast, particularly this morning. the winds will ease out later on as higher pressure comes in from the west. a fair amount pressure comes in from the west. a fairamount of pressure comes in from the west. a fair amount of pride this morning for england and wales. sunshine shifting its way eastwards. into the afternoon, sunny spells, few scattered showers, particularly for
9:10 am
parts of northern ireland, through central and eastern england. much of wales in the south—west of england should see quite a lot of dry weather. in any of the sunny spells, temperatures up to 15 degrees. further north, only 10 degrees in the north of scotland. on the cool side for late may, still. some showers for the east later in the evening, but overnight most of the showers clear away. quite a chilly night, potentially even a touch of grass frost in scotland and northern england. remaining frost free further south. a fresh start here sunday. through the day, we will start to see more rain working in tomorrow. it won't arrive in the east until later on in the day. things turning breeds a year later, as well. this is all down to this new area of low pressure. it is quite an active cold front here so we will see some pretty heavy rain on the corporate later on. starting
9:11 am
off, most of england and wales will stay dry. it works into western parts of britain in the afternoon. it doesn't reach the east coast until the evening hours. if you are stuck onto the rain with the wind picking up, it will only get up to ten or 11 degrees. into monday, another day of sunshine and heavy showers. still relatively cool at 13 or 1a degrees. as we head to the coming week and towards the all—important bank holiday weekend, something slightly warmer and dryer will be on the cards. you will note the change of location, and here is the reason! since the beginning of the year, we've been checking in every saturday with our covid experts to help us understand the latest developments during the pandemic.

in glasgow, while it was an emotional evening in blackpool, as they reached the league 1 play—off final. before the game, the players of blackpool and oxford joined fans in paying tribute to nine—year—old blackpool boyjordan banks, who was killed after being struck by lightning while playing football last week. as for the game, the home side, went through 6—3 on aggregate and after scoring his goal, jerry yates again commemorated jordan banks during his celebration. it's the sign of a true champion, when you have to win the same race twice to get the gold medal. that's exactly what kathleen dawson had to do. she thought she'd won the european 100—metre backstroke title — in record time as well. but a a faulty speaker had prevented her swedish rival from hearing the starting buzzer, and once that came to light, the result was annulled, and it meant the race had to be staged again, a couple of hours later. thankfully for dawson, she won it again, and thanked her coach for getting her back into the right mindset. now as well as the monaco grand prix, in formula one this weekend
9:39 am
it's the start of the world superbikes championship, with northern ireland'sjonathan rea aiming to build on his record breaking six world titles on the trot. before he left for spain, i went to northern ireland tojoin him in training, but there wasn't a superbike in sight, and even though he is 3a, he doesn't have a road bike license. so how does he train? how it is now for the record—breaking superbike champion and how it started forjonathan rae. churning up the dirt on a motocross bike when he was still at primary school. and yet, this is how he still gears up for a new world superbike season. going back to his roots, to motocross. one, it does help him function his riding skills, it's also because this world champion hasn't actually got a road bike licence to ride back home in northern ireland. it's strange because i can have a race licence and ride a 200 plus horse power bike around the track but i can't ride to the local shop to get a loaf of bread. we can'tjust go practising
9:40 am
superbike every week because it's so expensive and i did my whole team there and bikes. but of course motorcross, i can load my bike in the van and i do it pretty much myself. once or twice a week here keeps my brain sharp, so when i get on my superbike, i'm ready to take on the world. every time i come through the gates, it reminds me of the amazing times i had when i was six and seven years old. i get that same buzz. and you feel like a superhero. riding motocrossjust as he did when he was six years old, and like thousands of other youngsters getting into this sport across the uk. it must be working for him, though, because he's won six world titles! his sixth trophy coming last autumn. and now a seventh consecutive world title is in the sights of his team that is based in spain where he does ride his superbike. these machines are the racing versions of the road bikes you can buy in the shops and do your commute on, which is one reason so many fans relate to this sport.
9:41 am
and he has built a huge following, one that in 2017 helped him to the second place of bbc sports personality of the year award. that was, i would say almost life changing because suddenly people from outside the sport in the street were started noticing me and i was like, wow, i'm still the same guy. and helping him to stay that way, his wife and young son who he hopes will soon bejoining him again at races this season when travel restrictions allow. last year they couldn't and i feel like a real ease when they're around because i don't get hung up on the things i shouldn't think about because i try to chip in and play dad for ten minutes, if you like, and it's a perfect distraction. when i'm at home, i like playing dad, i like doing the school run, doing normal things and taking the boys to football. anything, really, to take him away from the pain at the gym, his other home, as he prepares his body for the physical battering it gets at speeds of up to 200 mph. he wanted to share the stress load and show what makes him such a lean machine. with his so—called superman press ups. not cocking it in either way, so...
9:42 am
and the head and necks strengthening exercises that stretch every sinew. my mates say, yeah, you just sit on the bike and turn the handle bars, don't you? but it really is hard work. doing 200 mph, you lift yourself up on the brakes and then the wind hits you. so it's like throwing yourself out the car window when you're going so fast on the motorway, with a helmet on, and that force just wants to rip your head off. five, four, three... essentially a flea strapped to a rocket. so, you know, we need to make him as strong as he possibly can and his technical riding ability is second to none. and that's partly down to all that time on the motocross track where rea has been supporting a scheme that helps use the bikes to steer youngsters away from trouble. when i was growing up, mum and dad weren't keen on me hanging around the street corners with local kids or distractions or gangs. you know, it was bed early on a friday night because we've got
9:43 am
motocross on a saturday. yeah, well done! and he wanted to show me it is a sport for...all ages. "lean forward, lean forward", he says. there's so much to think about! with safety training first from instructor davey... technique comes before speed, all right? it is potentially dangerous handling a a50cc beast of a bike on a track that slips and slides, but follow the instructions, treat it with respect and as the confidence builds, you will soon get that flying feeling. woo hoo! you can feel the adrenaline now! what do you reckon, ready for the world championship next year? laughs. i'll be on your tail! in the end, only one of us came off the bike — it can happen to the best — while the other walked away already feeling the effects. john wayne! but full of so much respect, as rea now gets ready to swap the motocross and the green grass of northern ireland

for the superbikes, the world championships, in spain. incredible, what a record—breaking world champion going for a seventh world champion going for a seventh world title starting in spain today and i can also reveal he is now going through the assessment, the bike is going to his assessment to try to pass his road test later. and how was your neck after that way issue? —— that weight issue? it's aching, but worth going through. a walrus, who has been nicknamed wally, is continuing his trip around the shores of the british coastline after being spotted in cornwall this week. the large arctic animal was first seen in county kerry in ireland in march, before heading to tenby in pembrokeshire in april, and on wednesday he was spotted in padstow in cornwall. we're joined now by nathaniel barry, a photographer at padstow sealife safaris and by lucy bebey, head of science
