the prime minister will announce major changes to the uk's international priorities today — including moves to increase the size of britain's nuclear arsenal. and we'll be live in the west end this morning — looking at how theatres have coped nearly one year since lockdown forced them to close. and coming up at 10:30am... having a faulty gene that can lead breast cancer means many women and some men have to have mastectomoies to avoid the risk — now researchers have made a breakthrough that they hope could one day could save women from that unnecessary surgery. —— have to have mastectomies to avoid the risk. ten european countries — including the biggest member states of the eu — have nowjoined the growing list of nations suspending use of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine because of worries about possible side—effects including blood clots. 17 million people have had the vaccine across the eu — 37 of those have had blood clots. the world health organization, and the eu's own medicines regulator, say there is no justification for the temporary ban. germany, france, spain and italy are all taking the precautionary measure — and they nowjoin portugal, denmark, norway, bulgaria, iceland, and slovenia. this morning sweden has also decided to pause jabs using the vaccine. the european medicines agency is reviewing information on the astrazeneca vaccine today, and holding another meeting on thursday. meanwhile, british scientists say the vaccine is safe. astrazeneca has also run its own tests and found no evidence of any issues. jim reed reports. 11 million people in the uk have already been given their first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine without any serious side effects emerging — but a growing number of other countries have now suspended its use after a small number of cases of blood clotting were recorded. france, germany, italy and spain have temporarily stopped using the vaccine as a precautionary measure, days after norway said three health care workers had needed hospital treatment. several other european countries, including austria, has stopped using certain batches of the drug. medical regulators in both the uk and the eu have said there is no evidence the clots were the result of being given the vaccine itself. manufacturer astrazeneca said the number of cases of blood clotting so far is no higher than doctors would expect to see in the general population in normal times. and the government's scientific advisers say there is no reason to pause the rollout in this country. the message for now is this vaccine is safe and effective. it's saved thousands and thousands of elderly and vulnerable people's lives and we're determined to press on with it unless we see a major safety signal to suggest otherwise — in which case we will be open and transparent with the public. later today, the safety committee of the eu drugs agency will meet to review all the cases that have come to light so far. if it gives the green light, then other countries are likely to resume their vaccination programmes quickly. in the uk, the message from scientists is to take any coronavirus jab if offered as all the data so far show the risks of catching covid far outweigh the risks of a side effect from any vaccine. jim reed, bbc news. the foreign secretary dominic raab said british and eu regulators don't agree with suspending the vaccine. he says you should carry on getting the jab. it is safe, people should get the vaccine, and it's been very clear, both from the mhra — the uk regulator — that the risks of taking the vaccine are no more, in terms of, for example, for blood clots, than the population at large. there is no extra risk in the evidence that we have seen, which is why they have authorised the vaccine and haven't taken any further action. also replicated at the european level. the eu's own regulator has said there is no reason, no reason, no grounds to suspend taking the vaccine or the roll—out, and that is itself backed up by the world health organization, so this vaccine is safe. we respect the processes and procedures that some other countries may need to go through, but the vaccine is safe and people should certainly continue to take it to protect themselves and protect their friends and family. the eu's ambassador to the uk, joao vale de almeida has said that the decision pause the vaccine is one for individual countries to make. governments are worried, concerned and focused on the health and safety of citizens. and when doubts appear for whatever reason, i think the principle of precaution prevails. and some governments have decided to take action. i understand the european agency, the regulator, will come back to this issue in the light of concerns expressed by governments and citizens. so i think we should be very humble about this virus, and no one has the silver bullet and no one has the magic formula that will solve all these problems so we need to approach it in a very reasonable way. and when there are doubts i think the principle of precaution prevails. but i am hopeful that with a thorough assessment of risks we can evolve on this. let's get more on this from natasha loder, health policy editor at the economist. good morning. is there any problem with the oxford astrazeneca vaccine? no, it is a completely safe vaccine. sorry, i didn't quite hear you? it is completely safe? the data is saying there is no problem with a vaccine or blood clots. so saying there is no problem with a vaccine or blood clots.— saying there is no problem with a vaccine or blood

getting vaccines that will save their lives but will also undermine confidence in the vaccine. people take vaccines when they are confident in them, so the very act of suspending them, even though i am sure it will be reversed, will cause damage. the fi . ures reversed, will cause damage. the figures are _ reversed, will cause damage. the figures are extraordinary, 17 million people across the eu

this is going to be repeated at some point and enable had a mountain to climb, there is already a niasse mouth uncertainty around the vaccine in europe because a very foolish comments made about whether it worked in the elderly here one newspaper, and even though the comments were completely untrue it created a climate of uncertainty about the vaccine, and now we have this story too. we know what happens when people lose confidence in vaccines, japan is a great example, in 2013 there were reported side—effects, widely reported in the media, the japanese government withdrew its support for the vaccine and girls have not been getting vaccines since then, and you can count the number of dead women that will cause. this is the problem you have when governments do not support a vaccine when

street has announced a series of measures aimed at improving safety in england for women and girls after the killing of sarah everard. it's after hundreds of people took part in another vigilfor the 33—year old in london last night. dan johnson reports. chanting this reaction, this strength of feeling, isn't just about sarah everard's death, but the wider questions that have been raised about women's safety and the response of the police. yesterday, officers kept a low profile and a mostly hands—off approach, at the start of this gathering in parliament square. it went ahead despite the home secretary urging people to stick to covid regulations, and in defiance of the government's new policing bill, part of which will limit future protests. last night, the home office said it was already increasing the amount spent making our streets safer, from £20 million to £16 million. this investment will go on practical measures like increased and better lighting, more cctv, to try to give people that confidence that we really, really want to instil after last week's terribly, terribly sad events. labour says this extra money does not even cover the cuts made in the last decade, other groups say the funding is welcome at the ready for cultural issues to address, that there is misogyny in the policing, there is misogyny in the policing, the courts, the criminaljustice system. last night's vigil moved to westminster bridge, downing street and the headquarters of london's metropolitan police. the organisation reclaim these streets says it has lost faith in the leadership of the force. officers did step in, telling people to keep moving and head home, orface fines for breaching lockdown rules. at the centre of all this, we cannot forget an innocent young woman, who was just walking home. sarah everard's death has already shaken this country, making us question how society works and whether it fairly protects everyone. danjohnson, bbc news, central london. a probationary met officer involved in the search for sarah everard has been removed from duties for allegedly sharing an "inappropriate graphic". the force said a graphic was shared via social media on friday and was reported by a number of officers "who were concerned by its content". the constable had been deployed as a cordon officer supporting the search operation in kent, but they have been "placed in a non—public facing role while inquiries continue". the met said it expected officers "to behave professionally at all times" and a referral to the independent office for police conduct has been made. let's get more from our chief political correspondent adam fleming. talk through the new measures and the doubling of the money from the government? this the doubling of the money from the

streets funds will now be fortified million pounds, it might not seem a lot in the context of public finance but could make a difference in local areas like you might see increased lighting and more cctv, they are talking about rolling out a nationwide pilot scheme which has been going on in oxford for the last couple of years, project vigilant, plainclothes police officers are patrolling pubs, nightclubs and bars in the evening and if they see a problem they can call in uniformed officers, that will be tried out in more places. policing minister kit malthouse will have asymmetric people from the nightlife economy, as they call it, about how to make that part of life more safe —— will have a summit with people. some people say that women feel unsafe in all places at all times of day. the home office has reopened its big survey about their entire strategy for tackling violence against women and girls and it has had more than 70,000 responses since it was reopened on friday, so this decision from this task force is just a small part of the government response, we will need to wait longer before judging fully. let's speak now to labour's shadow policing minister sarahjones. good morning, what is your reaction to what the government announced last night? we to what the government announced last niuht? ~ . , to what the government announced lastniuht? . , , last night? we will always say yes to more funding _ last night? we will always say yes to more funding for _ last night? we will always say yes to more funding for street - last night? we will always say yes. to more funding for street lighting, and we know in my area and every area we have suffered huge cuts to local government which means some of these things for either wayside. cctv is incredibly important. —— some of these things fall by the wayside. i think it slightly misses the point of this crisis and i want to work through the policing bill with the government to put on a raft of measures responding to that incredible statistic, the number of women who have responded to the government consultation. if we don't do this now, when will we do it? if you look at the figures of 1.5% of reported rape cases ended up with a conviction, that is astronomically disastrous and weekly to be doing things about those bigger issues, we could be giving things about making street harassment illegal, we could completely change the conversation about women's issues if we just introduced finds likely deal for lecturing on the street, everybody accepts that if you later, you are a persistent offender, you flighted, a whole scale of measures can put you into prison for up to five years for persistent fighting, there is nothing for abusing women on the streets, so let's have something similar —— for

absolutely, and lots of forces are measuring this already, it helps count what some of these issues are and help the police think through how they respond and the scale of the problem. yesterday a debate, kris bryant, an mp and wonderful colleague, said he had think of about three occasions when he had been scared in his life walking through the streets, and how shocked he was at the outpouring of people saying, this is normal life, we do not even talk about it. and reporting misogyny when people are repeated to women just because they are women helps you understand the scale of the problem.

end of the month. it has been a struggle for the last year, that is for sure, but my daughter felt she needed to keep going for other women even when she had been a breaking point, iam so proud. jenny says, ifeel a better police presence and texture street lighting might help, but my profound belief that we need better education in schools for young people. being made aware of where to walk safely on places to avoid, i am thinking of quiet back streets and areas that should be avoided. jenny, you are right, many people avoid those areas, but why should we have to? i know it is sensible, but why can't we walk anywhere? let me know your views on instagram, twitter or ljy your views on instagram, twitter or by e—mail. the prime minister will announce today how the uk will reshape its international priorities, as it seeks to chart a course outside the european union. he'll unveil the detail of what's called the "integrated review" that's been going on for the past year into the uk's security, defence, development and foreign policy, including his vision for a post—brexit "global britain" and major changes to the uk's role in the world for the next decade. many things will be on the agenda, such as the uk's cyber ability, money that is being invested in our military, and britain's relations with china and russia. this morning, the foreign secretary dominic raab said we would be looking at the opportunities the uk will have as a liberal free trading nation. this will look at everything, from the £24 billion we are investing in our military, through our nuclear defences, right the way through to the new threats we face, whether it's climate change, pandemics, or the gangs and hostile states using cyber against us. it also looks at the opportunities we've got as a liberal, free trading nation with our tech and science base to create the jobs of the future for young people. it's a forward—looking approach and i think as we start to come through this pandemic, with the chancellor's budget, an opportunity notjust to manage the terrible threats we face with the pandemic but also to look at the enormous opportunities that the uk has in the world. every day this week, as we approach the first anniversary of the uk lockdown, we will be taking a look at the events that built up to that moment. on this day last year prime minister borisjohnson received modelling from imperial college london that showed critical care capacity in the uk would be overwhelmed by the coronavirus outbreak — and 250,000 people would die — unless social distancing protocols were put in place. this is how borisjohnson announced the new advice on social distancing a year ago today. now is the time for everyone to stop nonessential contact with others. and to stop all unnecessary travel. we need people to start working from home where they possibly can, and you should avoid pubs, clubs, theatres and other such social venues. it goes without saying, repeat the message, we should all only use the nhs when we really need to, and please go online rather than ringing nhsiii. let's speak now to the epidemiologist dr mike tildesley from the university of warwick — he's a member of the sage subgroup the scientific pandemic influenza group on modelling — known as spi—m. the group provides advice about infectious disease modelling to the government. he also advises the government on the transmission of covid—i9 in schools. thank you very much for talking to us. your initial thoughts when you came across that modelling last year? it came across that

were significant problems in the uk. with infectious disease control, sadly you need to act early, because if you not, any control measure needs to be in place for much longer and, sadly, repercussions in terms of the number of people getting sick is likely to be much greater, which is why i think there was a call for action at the time to suggest that serbia controls were probably

this in our own history in terms of a large—scale pandemic like this where modelling was at the forefront of helping to advise decision—making, there was so much uncertainty and it is the difficulty when we are using models, they are only as good as the data going on and in the early stages there was huge uncertainty. it was pretty clear that there were certain things about epidemics that we know are true, anywhere where people next in large numbers everyday risk of infection, so at this time there were concerns, things like the cheltenham festival, i think it was the liverpool atletico madrid game, rant about that time, there were well concerned that time, there were well concerned that these could potentially be super spreading events which could cause the infection to spread that much

key thing to me as rather than focusing on the coach of the million deaths, we know there would have been a significantly higher death rate had we not taken action, so i always worry a little when we focus on one particular number rather than saying we predict there will be a significant number of deaths, there is particular uncertainty around that that if we do not take action we expected actual

you realise it is a problem, you need to act rapidly. we saw this in september when a number of us, myself included, were advocating for a circuit breaker lockdown, and it was many weeks later before

sturgeon is to reveal her latest plan to ease lockdown restrictions later today. she'll give more detail on when shops and hospitality will be able to open. she's previously said her government will be led by "data, not dates". and in northern ireland, ministers will also meet to review lockdown restrictions — they're expected to provide further clarity on when all school children will go back. now it's time for a look at the weather. a better day for the vast majority, some of you already there with sunshine. particularly for england and wales. cloudy skies, white colour on the chart. patchy rain and drizzle coming from that as well so you could be damp at times. notice the white collar, their cloud starting to shrink two southernmost counties by the end of the afternoon adults of the channel islands. blue skies and a bit of a breeze blowing today but mild temperatures, coming from the atlantic and we could see temperatures of 16 through east wales and areas of the lake district. across the board, temperatures above where they should be for the time of year but tonight will still be chilly, a colder one than last night with clear skies, mist and fog patches through parts of the midlands and south west and east and wales especially. a touch of frost not out of the question here and there but for most with high pressure in charge tomorrow will be a dry and reasonably sunny day with a few showers in the south—east corner. one or two spots of rain in south—east england on thursday but otherwise predominantly clear skies will continue. hello, this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are the headlines... european medical experts will meet today to discuss the oxford/astrazeneca vaccine — after its rollout is halted across ten eu countries. the jab is safe according to the world health organisation and the uk government. this vaccine is safe. we respect the processes and procedures that some other countries may need to go through, but the vaccine is safe and people should certainly continue to take it. more cctv, better street lighting and plain clothes police officers will be used to help improve safety in england for women and girls — after the killing of sarah everard. the prime minister will announce major changes to the uk's international priorities today — including moves to increase the size of britain's nuclear arsenal. and we'll be live in the west end this morning looking at how theatres have coped nearly one year since lockdown forced them to close. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sally. good morning. the biggest festival in the british horse racing calendar gets underway today — but unlike last year, there will be no fans at cheltenham. the pandemic means the stands will be empty and the sport's image has been badly damaged recently, trainer gordon elliott and amateur jockey robjames were pictured sitting on dead horses. i think that the images shown in recent weeks, and seeing those break through into mainstream media, and outside of racing media, is damaging. and we really need to redouble efforts to build that public trust and to show the general public that horse welfare is at the centre of everything we do, and that this is just a truly wonderful sport. and it's not only the stands that are usually packed with race—goers — the town of cheltenham is transformed on festival weekend with around 250,000 fans visiting across the four days — so local businesses will really be missing out this year. all the bars and restaurants in the town itself will be massively massively hit by the fact there are no crowds there. it's one of the biggest things that happens to the town in the whole year. there is a massive knock—on effect to the local economy and cheltenham is an integral part of that so hopefully it willjust be for this year and we will all be back safely next year. jurgen klopp described liverpool's win over wolves in the premier league as "three dirty points". diogojota scored the only goal of the game, against his former side, but there was a worrying incident at the end, when the wolves goalkeeper rui patricio was stretchered off with a nasty looking head injury after colliding with one of his own players. he's ok, he's awake, he is conscious. he speaks, he remembers what happened. we have to take the right precautions, but he's ok. it was a collision with the knee of conor coady, a big knock to his head, but he's ok. for now, everything is fine. chelsea's women will play both legs of their champions league quarter—final against wolfsburg in budapest, because of covid travel restrictions. the hungarian capital has become a popular venue for european games, with teams from some countries not allowed to go to others. chelsea's games are on the 24th and 31st of march. there'll be no crowd for the rest of england's t20 series in india. over 60,000 fans were allowed in for the first two but there's been a covid—19 outbreak in the area. it's1—1 going into today's game. jason roy has top—scored for england in both matches so far — but he's still searching for his first international t20 century. to score 100 in t20 format you have to be ultra—aggressive. you are looking at facing a maximum of 60 balls, really, and to score 100 you have to be pretty aggressive but more often than not you have to go up the gears, start in sixth gear up to the sixth over, then go down the gears and then go up a gear. so it's safe mixture of aggression and pretty calculated stuff, really, if you want to get those big scores. whisper it quietly but we could finally have the big fight between anthonyjoshua and tyson fury. joshua's promoter eddie hearn says they've signed a two—fight deal. when and where are yet to be determined but boxing commentator steve bunce believes it could well be a very lucrative contract. it will generate more money than any other fight in history, and that could be gazumped by their rematch. it would generate four and $500 million, i'm absolutely convinced of that. with the suggestion that the pay—per—view for fans in great britain could be out as much as £40. £40! you know what, you do three or 4 million of those at 40 quid, you have an awful lot of money already in your kitty. that's all the sport for now. free school meals should be extended in england over the six week summer holiday this year — that's according to the new children's commissioner. well, we can speak to her now — dame rachel de souza. hello, good morning and congratulations on your newjob. for our

be dealt with and dealt with really well. i am totally with you that we need to make sure that hungry and poor children get fed. i'm just saying, let's have a look at the different models. someone was proposing using the sugar tax to pay for breakfast clubs, and that sounds like a great idea to me. part of why i wanted to come on to talk to you today, one of the things... today i am launching the childhood commission, and the reason we are launching that is because we recognise the particularly unique effect and profound effect the pandemic as i had on many children's lives. you have picked up on poverty and food, absolutely. on education, the time they spend with friends and family, and their mental health, and all those things need addressing. i want to start by asking young people themselves what they want from us, themselves what they want from us, the adults. they have done an amazing job for us during lockdown with very little return and they have sacrificed a lot, so for me, firstly i want to be the largest consultation of children and young people that has ever been done, ask them what their priorities are and then i want us to be putting together a long plan, a ten year plan that puts childhood right at the centre and we can address all of these issues. hopefully with some really creative and good thinking as well. i really creative and good thinking as well. . r' really creative and good thinking as well. ., , ., ., really creative and good thinking as well. ., a , ., ., ., well. i will ask you in a moment where children _ well. i will ask you in a moment

should go to fill| well. i will ask you in a moment. where children should go to fill in that survey. the extra £20 on universal credit will be in place for struggling families until the autumn. should that stay forever? i definitely think we need to look at, for struggling families with children, either keeping that uplift, or providing services that are really needed that focus on childhood. we have got to deal... we have got to make sure, that, you know, what the pandemic has done, that our poorest can function and can eat. for me it's about, children can't learn if they are hungry, so we need to make sure that's dealt with in the most effective and best way possible. bud with in the most effective and best way possible-— with in the most effective and best way possible.

academy and hopefully i will launch that with a great assembly, with some people that children and young people can really relate to as well. we will go to children's homes, two youth offender institutes, and the entire estate to make sure we reach all children. my thing is, we really want children and young people to give us their views. they told us they haven't been listened to, so this is a chance for them to get there. and then we need to harness all our inspiration, the inspiration like the beveridge report plan had after the second world war, when they founded the welfare state and they founded the welfare state and the nhs and education. we want to harness that and create our own beveridge report for children, with a ten year plan. i want to see the prime minister and chancellor talking about children and childhood in every speech, in every policy. we have to put children at the heart of this economic recovery.— this economic recovery. thank you very much — this

line charity support and provide new resources for schools and teachers to support children and young people with their mental health and our 1.7 billion investment in recovery support will help tackle the impact of any loss learning and we are investing an additional 79 million to increase the number of mental health support team is working with schools and colleges. we have some new figures from the office for national statistics which suggest in the week to the 5th of march, deaths in england and wales were 3% above normal level, so that figure is coming down, but obviously it is still above normal levels. there were just over 13,000 deaths registered in the uk in the week of the 5th of march, 3% above the usual level for this time of year. the week before that, they were 9% above usual levels. exactly one year ago today, the pandemic forced theatres to bring down their curtains indefinitely. many of them have been plunged into economic turmoil by the shutdown, with some smaller theatres warning that they may never reopen. our reporter ben boulos is at the apollo theatre in london's west end. yes, victoria, it's exactly one year to the days since this theatre and others right across the country were told to close because of the pandemic. in a normalyear, something like 34 million people would visit a theatre, and that would visit a theatre, and that would generate through coach trips, tickets and restaurant bills more than £1 billion in vat for the government. it's been a long interval for those on and off stage ever since that night when the show did not go on. singing. theatres as they're meant to be. but for a year, uk theatres have been deserted, suddenly told to close on the 16th of march, 2020, leaving empty chairs and empty stages, and empty order books at this props maker and supplier. the week before the theatres closed we'd just opened phantom of the opera and we'd just opened the back to the future musical in manchester. we'd just got back to london and we had this crazy, busy time planned. and itjust all stopped. i mean, everything stopped. we told our guys that we would stop for two weeks and see what happened. then it was seven months before we came back here. during that long interval the workshop became a hub for the show must go on campaign, raising £800,000 to support theatre workers who'd lost theirjobs, and nhs charities. during lockdown the national theatre streamed 16 shows online, watched by millions around the world. the industry welcomed the government's £1.5 billion emergency support for arts venues like this one. but some fear the effects of the long shutdown on the industry's many freelance workers. the impact has been, eh, most harshly felt by the freelancers who we work with. the vast majority, 70% of the theatre industry, are freelancers. and i think almost 40% of them have not been eligible for any government support. and as you can imagine, there's been no work at all. the impact on their lives has been chronic. at the time i was living with some housemates who were technicians. and we got the text like one after the other, like, you've lost your work, you've lost your work. harri marshall is a freelance theatre maker in york who's deaf. her furlough ended after three months, and she had to find other work. my steady income job at the minute is, i'm a ward clerk at the nhs. so i work on the labour ward, which is really, really busy at the minute, as you can imagine. like, it's so nice to see a lot of people having families, but it's also like, why are there so many? i'd really love to resume being a freelancer again. picking up where i kind of left of almost exactly a year ago. so i'd love to continue nerding out with the lights and the programming. i'd love to keep making work with young people and vulnerable adults. and i'd really love to keep directing and writing my own shows. but we'll all have to wait and see. # one more look and iforget everything. # mamma mia...# uk theatres could start to reopen from the 17th of may, albeit with social distancing and limited audience numbers. it won't be scenes like this right away. but it's certainly something to sing about. lets find out how exactly they will open safely and speak to eleanor lloyd, the president of the society of london theatres, representing dozens of venues right

everyone's talking about jamie will be opening again in may. i will be in that theatre and in that audience because a friend of mine is in it every day this week, we are broadcasting some of the winning stories from the bbc young reporter competition. of the thousands of entries, many of you have chosen to focus on the issues which have become important to you during the coronavirus pandemic. 17—year—old hannah, from south lanarkshire, chose to reflect on the work she has been doing in a care home during lockdown and the importance of helping others. dealing with death is quite hard to deal with, because obviously these people didn't have their family with them when it happened because of lockdown. so having to kind of die in an isolated place is quite tricky. it's really devastating. i'm hannah, i'm 17 years old and i'm a cleaner at a care home as well as a student. i was basically at school, working as a lifeguard after the coronavirus hit the council asked for people who would be willing to help volunteer for work and it is super needed. out of all the options i was given, i chose the care home. the cleaning isn't that bad. it's something you would get used to as you do it more and more, so i don't really mind it any more. i normally clean the residents' rooms, so i will hoover and dust the main part of the room and then go into their bathrooms and give that quite a deep clean. i built a lot of good relationships with some of the people in the care home. you learn a lot when you work in there about their life experience in general. we were the only people there to support them. a lot of deaths were very surreal and strange. it was quite hard to deal with, especially if you're a young person. you wouldn't expect it. that's why it made it a bit more shocking when it happened. it had a big impact on a lot of people in the care home. there were quite a few times, especially during the first lockdown, that i felt like i couldn't do it any more because it was just too much for me, especially dealing with death and just the work and how repetitive it was. but i pushed through it and told myself that what i'm doing is good and it's helping people. and i was there for a reason. i have seen a lot of people over social media and online that haven't followed rules and have posted about it and i've seen tonnes of people just really not caring at all about the situation. hi, i'm here, where are you? as a society i think we should move forward and learn to look after each other and love each other more. and definitely support those who need it the most, because i feel like we hadn't done that enough beforehand. iam happy, ifeel like i have accomplished quite a lot, and i think what i've done has helped people and i'm really glad that i've stuck at it. that was hannah's story. every day this week we'll be showing more from the winners of the bbc young reporter competition. some incredible stories and incredible reporting. and at the end of the week — on friday evening at 8.30pm — there will be a special programme here on the bbc news channel showcasing more of their stories. typ branding with text reading: the winners friday 8.30pm> we have more correspondence and how to keep women and girls say. martin is a serving police officer and has been for more than 20 years. i can tell you that up and down the country every honest and decent police officer is pretty ashamed at the moment to stop but why is nobody talking about a decade of annihilation of public services by politicians? the streets are not safe in my opinion because officer numbers have been cut back so severely that in many forces we simply don't have the numbers to be on the streets, which is where we want to be. and if the government were here they would say they will employ 20,000 new police officers. thank you, martin. if you want to get in touch... now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. the skies may remain a little bit on the grey side for one or two of you this afternoon, but the vast majority, we should all see some sunshine, much like we did, developed this morning across parts of scotland. it has been one of those brightening up days, i think, for many. out there, though, at the moment, we still have plenty of cloud across the southern half of england and wales, the odd spot of light rain and drizzle, which has become confined to southernmost counties and the channel islands, but even here, there could be some breaks. but longerskies, longer spells of blue skies across the rest of the country. a bit of a blustery wind, but it is a reasonably mild wind compared to what we have been used to of late. and just take a note of these temperatures this afternoon, above where we should be for the time of year by some margin, 16 degrees in parts of south—east wales and to the south and east of the lake district. 16 is 61 in fahrenheit. it will turn chilly again this evening under clear skies and light winds for many. a bit more cloud towards east anglia and the south—east, a tiny bit more cloud in the north of scotland. that stops temperatures dropping away too much. but with clear skies elsewhere, some mist and fog patches and temperatures only a few degrees above freezing for some. so there could be a bit of frost on the ground and the cars first thing. high pressure, though, is still always dominating things. it is a little bit further westwards as we going to wednesday, but it is close enough to keep just about all dry. on the fringes of our high—pressure system we will see clouds float down east anglia and the south—east, one or two passing showers, and more cloud tomorrow for scotland and northern ireland compared to today. but still a dry day for the majority, sunny spells, not feeling as warm, although 14, 15 is still possible for south wales and south—west england. now, as you go through into thursday, high—pressure moves further west a little bit more. so more of a breeze developing again, north to north—easterly breeze eventually, and that will be most noticeable down these eastern coasts where we will see more cloud for eastern england, some outbreaks of rain along coastal counties as well. further west you are, you will stay dry through the day and some breaks in the cloud, shelter from that breeze with a bit of sunshine. it is going to stay cool, though, down those eastern coasts, and as we go into the end of the week into the weekend, it is a near miss for the real cold weather, the blues showing well below—average temperatures across much of europe, really only parts of norway, scotland and ireland will see above—average temperatures towards the end of the week. and here we should stay dry, by and large. in fact, for most of us, friday, saturday and sunday, we will hold on to predominantly dry conditions. fair amounts of cloud and a little bit of sunshine too. bye for now. hello, welcome to bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire — here are the headlines in the uk and around the world. european medical experts will meet today to discuss the oxford astrazeneca vaccine after its roll—out is halted across some eu countries. the jab is safe, according to the world health organization and the uk government. this vaccine is safe. we respect the processes and procedures that some other countries may need to go through, but the vaccine is safe and people should certainly continue to take it. the prime minister will announce major changes to the uk's international priorities today — including moves to increase the size of britain's nuclear arsenal. more cctv, better street lighting and plain clothes police officers will be used to help improve safety in england for women and girls after the killing of sarah everard. what else should be done to help you feel and stay safe? how to address the low conviction rates for rape
