good morning. manchester city were in complete control in the champions league last night. they beat german side borussia monchengladbach 2—0 and cruise comfortably into the quarterfinals. good morning. yesterday, wales and scotland had the warmest day of the year so far. it is not going to be quite as mild across the board today, although it still will be mild. for many, dry with sunshine about showers in the south—east. details later. good morning. it's wednesday, the 17th of march. the health secretary has insisted the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine is safe, and urged all uk citizens to get the jab as soon as it is offered. matt hancock was speaking after sweden and latvia became the latest european countries to stop offering the vaccine following safety concerns. dan johnson has more. across europe there are questions... ..about the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, as more countries suspend its use. in italy, vaccination centres stand empty whilst presumably, coronavirus keeps spreading. the concern is blood clots. astrazeneca says there have been 37 incidents of blood clots in the uk and eu. but that is following 17 millionjabs. in germany, seven rare clots in the brain and three deaths have been recorded. health officials there say the responsible move is to pause, investigate each case and re—evaluate. but the european medicine regulator says the overall rates of clots are actually lower than you would expect in the general population. and delays could mean more covid cases and more lives lost. the damage to confidence in the vaccine just seems a dreadful price to pay in order to signal some sort of, yes, we are looking at safety and we are erring on the side of caution. this isn't erring on the side of caution, it's throwing caution to the wind. in austria, one batch of the vaccine has been held back, while others are still being given, leaving some people like manfred concerned. i wouldn't recommend getting it for me. i'm a bit scared to get ill of the vaccine. but this woman is pleased she has had herfirst dose. if you get covid—19 and you have a really bad issues, you never know, then it's better to take it — vaccine take—up in the uk is among the highest in the world, and the message couldn't be clearer. the oxford—astrazeneca jab is safe. we know that over 10 million people have had it in this country. and that's what the british regulator says. but also the world health organization, and even the european regulator. a european safety review will be published tomorrow. france has said if it gets the all clear it will restart immediately. for some countries this is about being careful to ensure confidence in vaccination programmes. but there is also awareness that doubts about vaccines can be just as contagious as viruses. if one spreads, so will the other. dan johnson, bbc news. more than 70,000 uber drivers across the uk will start receiving the minimum legal wage from today, along with paid holiday and pension rights. it follows a ruling in the uk supreme court which could have a significant impact on the so—called "gig economy" for freelance workers. 0ur transport correspondent caroline davies reports. it was the company that shook up the system. but the system seems to have caught up with uber. after last month's verdict by the supreme court, it's announced that all of its drivers will be classed as workers. for years politicians and unions have said you have been playing fast and loose with employment rights. does this not prove they were right all along? i think the situation for employment in the uk has been ambiguous for some time by government. you have taken advantage of those ambiguities, haven't you? we have worked as hard as we can to try and provide drivers with a good way of earning, the flexibility they want and the protections they have. but we can now go further than we have gone before because of the clarity of the supreme court ruling brings us. drivers will still be able to work where and when they want. the company's minimum wage only applies once a driver accepts a right. are passengers going to see their fares rise, because this will be costly to you? so we're not expecting to raise prices at the current time. we absolutely want to price competitive. so is this going to come out of the drivers' income instead? where is that money going to come from? 0ur expectation is actually we can grow the business by treating drivers well, bringing drivers onto the platform, and also, by growing with the cities as they unlock. 0ne drivers' union was pleased. i wish they'd had done those five years ago. i wish they'd had it listened then. however, they appear to be listening now. and this is a tremendous victory for working people in this country. this decision could have implications across the gig economy. uber is probably the most well known and potentially the biggest player in the gig economy. and other operators will be looking closely at this and thinking, well, after six years of litigation, uber had to give in to the inevitable and agree that their drivers were workers. so we probably need to be doing the same. this move is a fundamental change and it is one that will be closely watched around the world. caroline davies, bbc news. eight people have been killed in a spate of shootings at three massage parlours in the us city of atlanta. at least six of the victims are understood to be women of asian heritage, and police say it's likely that the same gunman was responsible for all three attacks. a 21—year—old man is being questioned. hair salons and garden centres in scotland will be allowed to open from april the 5th, under a lockdown easing plan announced by first minister nicola sturgeon. residents will have to stay in their own local authority area until april 26th, when shops and gyms will also reopen. 0ur scotland reporter alexandra mackenzie is at a garden centre in glasgow. i know some people will be delighted there are changing rules coming along?
