euan duncan, bbc news, guernsey. italy is accusing pfizer and astrazeneca of serious two railway routes in england, which were closed more than 50 years ago, are to be reopened. the next phase of "east west rail", connecting oxford and cambridge, was confirmed by the government in november after it was awarded £760 million. also, the northumberland line, which still carries freight, will get £34 million to restart passenger services. 0ur transport correspondent caroline davies reports. some train lines cut in the 1960s are being brought back. the government have announced £760 million to continue work on the bicester to bletchley line, which hasn't run since 1968. but life after covid could look very different, and it could take a while for the numbers using the railways to bounce back. why are you investing this amount of money now? it's really important that we are thinking about the future and, fortunately, with the jabs going into people's arms, we can see that there will be life after coronavirus. we want peo

for guernsey's 63,000 residents, this is a bitter blow. the island has been blessed with daily life as close to normal for over six months, but now guernsey is back to where they were last march. queues began to form early this morning as news of a potential lockdown spread — a move which was officially announced at an emergency press conference. there was confirmation of community spread as four cases of the virushave been found in islanders without any travel history. the unknown we're facing on this occasion is the emergence of the viral variants and exactly what that impact is going to be. and that was also key to our decision—making. not only have these four cases, but we are sitting against the background of a changing situation, and it was that uncertainty that we've always done what we can to try and protect the health and well—being of the population. schools, bars and restaurants are to close, but the government say mass vaccinations will still go ahead. guernsey's community vaccination centre will open its doors on monday.

"if this continues, the game will cease." and we've actually seen it happen now in international matches where players have walked off the field because of racist abuse from the stands. looking back, do you wish that you and your team—mates had actually walked off the field wh
