let's turn to siobhan from greater manchester.nd i'm glad you have been vaccinated, as have, i hope, almost all of the teaching workforce. and that's going to be really important. but matters of vaccination of children are still under consideration by thejcvi, and it's going to be a difficult and finely balanced decision that they need to take time over. and i don't think they should be rushed into it. so, we're alljust going to have to wait for the advice i give. and i did just have one further question, sorry. if there is a third wave, at what point will schools close and return back to home learning that we've seen this academic year? yeah. so, we're in the third wave now. i'm sure you mean the fourth wave. if there is a fourth wave and we do not know if there will be a fourth wave, i think you'll probablyjust confirm for me that you're kind of referring to autumn, winter this year. yeah. so i think what we can say at the moment is that covid, you know, i've heard people say in the media and i've seen a few headlines that, you

i think we will hear from andy burnham, the mayor of greater manchester, later. he later.ween newcastle and sunderland, you would have to wear a mask. but they don�*t have the same powers when it comes to buses. so it becomes very confusing and i think the one thing that is beginning to unite them is to call on central government to make the rules consistent throughout the country, and they are saying please rethink this idea that you are going to have guidance rather than an instruction, rather than the regulation, to say that you have to wear a facemask. obviously that changes on the 19th, as so many other things too, when it comes to the coronavirus restrictions, when it comes to social distancing, but they are saying the problem they have is they feel that some people who are particularly vulnerable might feel less likely, more worried about going onto public transport, and it is for their safety and well—being and reassurance that everyone else should be required to wear a mask, rather than left to their own interpretation of what they think they should be doing, or w

love from a greater manchester police.left here in 24 hours. hero, idle, gent, manchester man on the england flag. are lovely to see that. we will be with you throughout the morning. thank you. the controversial decision to cut the uk's foreign aid budget by £4 billion will be voted on by mps today. spending was cut from 0.7% to 0.5% because of the pandemic, but was met with cross—party criticism. our diplomatic correspondent james landale has this report. britain has long led the way in helping some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people with humanitarian assistance. but, last november, the government unexpectedly cut aid spending by £4 billion. sticking rigidly to spending 0.7% of our national income on overseas aid is difficult to justify to the british people, especially when we are seeing the highest peacetime levels of borrowing on record. many mps were furious but the chancellor refused to give them a vote. now he has changed his mind and conceded one can't be avoided. when they come to westminster, mps w
