'Note of caution' ahead of lockdown easingpublished at 14:05 British Summer Time 14 May 2021

BBC News OnlineHealth officials in Nottingham are urging caution ahead of Monday's planned relaxation of Covid restrictions - after cases of the Indian variant were found in the city.
More than 1,600 people have undergone "targeted testing" in the past three days as officials try to prevent the spread of the new variant.
They would not confirm how many cases had been found, but said the Indian variant had potentially been spreading in the community, and the Kent variant is no longer "as dominant as it used to be".
There has been a 40% increase in cases in the city over the past week, although the rate is still at 35 per 100,000 people.
David Johns, interim Director of Public Health in Nottingham, said: "There is no reason to halt or hold back on the easing of lockdown measures.
"[But] it's logical, given the small increase in rates, the presence of variants of concern in our city, and indications of community transmission of those variants, that I put forward a note of caution."
He urged residents to continue to follow the guidance, get vaccinated and get tested regularly.
He added: "We're on the road, driving at 30mph and see the national speed limit sign ahead of us.
"I'm asking people not to accelerate too soon or too quickly as we make the transition."
The Department of Health and Social Care said there was "no firm evidence yet to show this variant has any greater impact on severity of disease or evades the vaccine".
However, some other experts believe it may be more transmissible.

BBC NewsResidents and businesses in Long Eaton are being urged to "remain cautious" after a rise in local coronavirus cases was linked with new variants that spread more easily.
Derbyshire County Council said two cases were shown to be the South African variant and a new Indian variant.
It comes after an outbreak at Wilsthorpe School in the town resulted in more than 170 staff and students testing positive - although none of these cases have been found to be variants of concern.
Dean Wallace, the county's director of public health, said anyone who lives or works in the town should try to get a test whether or not they have symptoms, with extra testing facilities put in place.

BBC Radio LeicesterTony Williams, from Wigston, is taking the coach to Wembley to watch the FA Cup final - just as his father did in 1949 when the Foxes faced Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"It is almost like I'm following in my dad's footsteps, so this weekend is rather special," he said.
"It's a very old bus in the photo but it's funny because they are all dressed in suits, ties and huge rosettes, so they were certainly very smart in those days."

"It's a generational thing as well," he added.

"It was a very exciting day," he said. "The atmosphere was marvellous."

BBC NewsA father has said he wants to make sure his children still have a memory of Leicester City's first FA Cup final appearance since 1969 on Saturday - despite not being able to attend the game.
Brendan Rodgers's men are to set to face Chelsea, and are looking to win the competition for the first time, with their last final appearance in the 1960s ending in a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.
David McClelland, from Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire, said: "My children wouldn't have been able to go anyway [due to the age restriction on tickets] so at least now we will see it as a family now.
"We are going to make it a big occasion."
The 44-year-old said they planned to have their shirts on, scarves and flags out, snacks ready and bake blue, Leicester-themed cakes.
"I wasn't born before the 1969 final but I have seen the archive footage," he said.
"It was almost like a street party celebration and all of Leicester came out to make a big fuss about it.
"So although we won't be at Wembley, I want to make it a big deal at home.
"We will just do whatever we can to try and make it as memorable for the kids as possible because who knows? It might be another 50-plus years before Leicester City are in the final again."
