fueled by the delta variance, gabrielle skelly is a visiting professor of public health of the university of bristol. he explains what's behind much of the anti vaccine and anti lockdown movements. i think the rallies are relatively small and all the way through the pandemic. we've seen small groups of people who have taken to the straits to express their opposition to various things that comes from different opposition. opposition to the faxing opposition to government interference. some believe that the virus doesn't exist. that covert 19 doesn't exist. there's some think it's a conspiracy from all sorts of people, including bill gates, international conspiracy, putting microchips in their arms. it's such a mixed package of, of opposition and, but, but relatively small. it isn't anything new. there always has been opposition to vaccine in history. i think we've got get back seeing levels vaccination levels up . there are some people who are hesitant and sometimes they've got to reasons because they are often excluded from society. they don't trust governments or politicians or maybe even some heal

researchers at the university of bristol found that testosterone is not that important when it comes ou found. 50 us on bbc news. explain to us what ou found. ., ., ., you found. so we found that in all studies come _ you found. so we found that in all studies come up _ you found. so we found that in all studies come up like previous - studies come up like previous studies, there was definitely evidence that higher testosterone correlated, at least a among men, more likely to be employed in higher education qualifications. lots of markers of educational status. but then when we used genetic methods which are able to actually separate off just the effect of testosterone on those outcomes, as opposed to potentially the effect of those outcomes on testosterone, there was no evidence at all that testosterone had influence on those things. so our results suggest that if there is a link that's been observed between testosterone and something like higher income, it may be because higher income, it may be because higher income, it may be because higher income affects testosterone, not the oth

there is a recent study from the university of bristol that says wearing a face covering by large numbersgh on our trams. it would be made much easier for us if the government were just to say, we recognise that on public transport, where some people have no choice but to go because they don't own a car, and if we put ourselves in the shoes of somebody who has to use public transport to go for chemo or dialysis, it absolutely makes sense they have confidence people will be wearing face coverings around them. this needs to be seen as well in the context of the guidance for people who are clinically extremely vulnerable. they were told yesterday they should avoid people who are not vaccinated. how on earth are they to know who is vaccinated and who is not? you can even read this guidance as though it is asking them, or recommendin to them, that they should shield again. freedom day for some people will definitely not be freedom day for 3.8 million people, and that is why the government has got this wrong. let's speak to professor christina pagel, director of the clinical operational researc

let's speak now to adam finn, professor of paediatrics at the university of bristol, and member of thejointthank you for being with us again! let's get your take on what the prime minister is about to say, we have heard it from the health secretary already, confirming predictions will be lifted in england next monday. do you see this as freedom day? i england next monday. do you see this as freedom day?— as freedom day? i think i would start by saying _ as freedom day? i think i would start by saying that _ as freedom day? i think i would start by saying that if— as freedom day? i think i would start by saying that if you i as freedom day? i think i would start by saying that if you get i as freedom day? i think i would j start by saying that if you get an expert on the tv who tells you confidently they really know what will happen next and what should be done, you should probably ignore them! because the fact is, we are all in a state really quite considerable uncertainty at this point. and looking at the different scientific opinions around this, there is clearly not a clear consensus in

he is so worried about the end of mask wearing he has set up a petition, and so far nearly 200,000 people have signed it. research from bristol universityound that wearing a mask reduces the spread of covid by 25% if everyone wears them. and it's notjust shops. in this hair salon in bristol, the clients have asked for the masks to stay. i personally think it's too soon to remove masks, and with cases rising in bristol, you know, the health and well—being of my team is really my priority. therefore, i'll do everything that i can to stop covid passing through my team and clients. masks may not be mandatory this time next week, but as the prime minister has this evening said, they still should be part of our lives. fiona lamdin, bbc points west. from one of the world's most exciting train rides, to hurtling downhill without brakes. to moose tracking in the forests of canada. this week, we revisit some of our wildest adventures. hello, and welcome to the travel show with me, carmen roberts, coming to you this week from my local park in tokyo. we've not been travelling these past few months, which has been an odd change of pace for all of us

iamjoined by i am joined by adam finn, iam joined by adam finn, professor of paediatrics at the university of bristoldon't just stop people getting sick, they actually do reduce their risk of getting infected and passing the infection onto others. they are not by any means perfect in that regard, but it kind of makes logical sense that people who have been fully immunised pose a much lower risk than those that haven't, in terms of carrying the virus around. so i think this was inevitably going to happen sooner or later. it has perhaps happened a little bit sooner than some of us would have liked, just in the sense that there are of course still quite a lot of people who are not in a position to have received two doses of vaccines, so it's a bit hard on them, but nevertheless i think it was going to be hard to hold this back, and it is good news that the various governments are now beginning to talk to each other and reach agreement on this.- talk to each other and reach agreement on this. talk to each other and reach aareement on this. ., ._ agreement on this. through the day, i've been hearing _ agr

transatlantic slave trade, like lloyds of london, the universities, oxford, glasgow, like the great museums, like thousands of houses and stately homes in london in bristolenote their wealth and their heritage from the transatlantic slave trade. and we're seeing people picketing now wealthy who are the distant relatives of slavers, of planters. this is not going away. and as a result of the pressure, we're seeing museums being named and also business centers like the jeffrey museum, the -- all the slave traders who made huge amounts of money off the backs of enslaved africans years ago left major endowments but now people are saying we've seen the receipts. we think you need to pay. if the british government doesn't want to, we can target you companies and landowners individually. we're not going to let them get away with that. it's not going away. >> i do just want to read a statement we did get from the uk. we asked the british government about jamaica's pending request. a spokesman for the foreign commonwealth and development office said there is no disputing the horrors of what occurred during the slave trade in the colonial period. while we acknowle
