president trump in pennsylvania least before sunset. the mild, and georgia, but still needs 17 more mid—teens for many of us. the reason electoral college votes to reach the 270 required to win. is so mild is we're going —— we keep saying these southerlies coming up from the warmer climate with that our washington correspondent lebo diseko has the story of the night. also come weather front so it will chop and change a little bit in the week ahead. here is a summary as we go through the weekend into the weekend. a lot of cloud on the icon, joe biden supporters danced through some raindrops indicating obviously the day and into the night in the city of philadelphia. their rain at times and changeable weather but not so bad for this time of day, candidate's this state is steadily growing and they can taste the —— time of year. today, not a bad victory. winning in pennsylvania would mean joe biden day. i think we have established victory. winning in pennsylvania would meanjoe biden becomes the president with more than 95% of that 16 and 17 is good. it is good, votes counted, he is inching his way it is good. you just don't want to there. but with some votes still to come in, there could be sometime get into it! i'm not going down that before a is declared. we don't have whiny meteorological root of a a final declaration. on friday discussion as we did an hour ago.” evening joe biden addressed the nation, stopping short of declaring enjoyed it though. a bit early. victory but his tone and message deliberately presidential. the let's take a look at numbers tell us it's clear, tell us this week's newswatch. a clear and convincing story we're

going win this race. just look at what has happened since yesterday. hello and welcome to newswatch with 24 what has happened since yesterday. 2a hours, we were behind in georgia. mesa mirror are met. coming up, now we are ahead. and we're going to waited bbc news focus so exclusively win that state. 2a hours ago, we on the us election when it didn't have a result to report —— samira we re win that state. 2a hours ago, we were behind in pennsylvania and we are going to win pennsylvania. on twitter, donald trump again ahmed was up and why was the bbc later than other outlets in calling expressed frustration at seeing his when some estates had been one? —— election night lead miraculously disappear. but it was the counting of postal votes that shifted the won. what do you do when you have numbers so dramatically, a process donald trump had told his supporters allocated resources and airtime on not to trust. as results trickle in your main channel bbc one to a news from other battleground states, the event which then doesn't stick to the anticipated timeline? that was pick to building is not in his favour. in both nevada and arizona, joe biden‘s lead is increasing. the anticipated timeline? that was the problem facing bbc bosses and their television schedule is. georgia's results are so close that firstly when downing street an automatic recount was triggered announced a press conference on the but it is unlikely that would change new restrictions being announced in the result of my more than a few england because of covid—19. clearly hundred votes. donald trump has big news, and a special programme filed legal action in several states in an effort to turn his fortunes was hastily arranged for bbc one at around. and there is no evidence of 430. after the original downing

street start time of four p.m.. but the widespread fraud that he ahead of its new postponed five alleges. the legal hurdles may o'clock start, five o'clock came and create a bumpy path butjoe biden went, though, and so did six o'clock increasingly seems to be on firm without a appearance from the prime footing on his road to the white minister, leaving the presenter and house. political correspondent chris mason along with a variety of guests with lebo disekojoins us along with a variety of guests with a lot of time to fill. there was now from washington. good to see you. praise for how they handled it, lebo, how close are we to a result? though, including from maureen hamilton who wrote... because there was a part of me yesterday thinking we might be making an announcement today. yesterday thinking we might be making an announcement todayi think there was a part of all of us that thought today, thought a little bit yesterday, it is difficult to say how long going to be waiting but but others were infuriated by the bbc‘s response to the delay, such as this caller. you should have just it does look like pennsylvania is going to be the key state, really, with those 20 electoral college brought it in as an alert votes a nd with those 20 electoral college votes and really it is difficult to see a path for donald trump to that announcement when he came out, not left us suffering two hours and 15 magic to 70 without going through pennsylvania or georgia, and georgia minutes of repeated so—called news is at the moment difficult to see thatis minutes of repeated so—called news that is no different. we have him going pastjoe biden there. and

strictly starting in a few minutes and nothing is going to happen. joe biden is ahead in pennsylvania as well. in the last couple of hours welcome at around ten to seven, something did happen. the press some more votes have come through, conference finally started with huge pennsylvania forjoe biden 28,000 audience of 16 million people votes forjoe biden in pennsylvania, watching and 20 minutes later, the presentation finished just in time 86,000 ballots are account, and for bbc one viewers to get their trump would need around 63% of those weekly dose of strictly. although, in order to take that lead. so it is unlike a news channel viewers, they missed out on the question and a nswer kind of a bit of a waiting game and missed out on the question and answer session with the prime minister that followed. during the i know that for a lot of americans presentation, though, something else it is quite frustrating but also, irked news watch viewers. the way i've been speaking to people who parts of the charts shown by the have said to me why would we be surprised that it is taking so long? government's chief scientific advisor sir patrick vallance were we are in a pandemic and everything hidden by the breaking news banner at the bottom of the screen. here is different now. indeed, thank you are the thoughts of andy skeleton. so is different now. indeed, thank you so much and we will be speaking no doubt later in the programme. was there any particular reason bbc foreign visitors arriving from denmark will be denied entry to the uk because of widespread decided to keep the rolling news coronavirus outbreaks on mink farms banner rolling all the way through the borisjohnson talk in the country. the decision was announced overnight by the british government and came banner rolling all the way through the boris johnson talk the into effect this morning. banner rolling all the way through the borisjohnson talk the other 0ur correspondent andy moore day, thereby obscuring all of the is at heathrow airport for us this morning.

andy, what's the latest? information. did we really need to know on the news banner that boris johnson was about to give a press good morning. there are a couple of conference when just two inches flights due into the uk today from above it, he was giving the actual denmark, one coming in here at conference. come on, bbc, a bit of heathrow at about ten past eight common sense, maybe? this is a complaint we have heard before in this morning, british airways flight. this morning, british airways flight. you would hope the people recent weeks so we asked bbc news boarding that flight who are not for a response and they told us... british nationals will have been told about this move overnight and they have decided to stay in denmark but if they do get on the flight and come here, they will be turned back by british border officials and sent home again. with military precision the colour of around 70 million mink in denmark have already begun. it is a sign of how serious the danish government is taking the threat from a new strain of coronavirus but is believed to white on wednesday morning, those have spread to around 200 humans. who hadn't been up on wednesday night following the twists and turns the danish government regards this of the us presidential election woke up of the us presidential election woke up on bbc one not to make a request isa the danish government regards this is a very concerning development and we are treating it with the utmost as normal, but to the end of a seriousness. we are taking all marathon special programme fronted necessary and appropriate actions, by katty kay, christian fraser and

including the culling of all in his final presenting stint on the bbc, andrew neil. but for now, we're remaining mink in denmark. we have indications that this unique finished. katty kay, christian, we will all be covering events as they mutation has a reduced response to antibodies which can ultimately come on, but we are about to say goodbye and from me, a special affect the efficiency of a potential goodbye and take you to the bbc and vaccine. the world health for all of you who watched. some 0rganization vaccine. the world health organization is monitoring the situation very closely but says it viewers paid tribute to the coverage is too early to jump to conclusions. and to andrew neil in particular whatever the risk from the new with robbo tweeting. .. strain, the british government is very keen to stop it spreading here. so it has imposed some very strict but as coverage from the united regulations at very short notice. no states continued through most of wednesday, both on the news channel foreign visitors will be allowed in and on bbc one, other viewers were from denmark with immediate effect. left less satisfied. laura posted edition nationals will be exempt but this. they will have to isolate with all other members of their families for two weeks. 0fficials other members of their families for two weeks. officials will also contact anyone who has been in denmark in the last fortnight to make sure they do the same. now, the danish authorities

obviously are very concerned and and gary newby had this to say about have imposed a travel ban internally wednesday's early evening news in the north where many of the mink farms are to try to stop the spread bulletin on bbc one. of the disease and the british authorities also very worried, their view is let's just keep the strain out of the uk and then we can figure out of the uk and then we can figure out a letterjust how dangerous it is. andy, thank you so much. all non—urgent operations have been complaints along those lines cancelled at several major hospitals in greater manchester continued to come into news watch as and birmingham, because of the saga of who had actually won the an increase in covid—i9 patients. the trusts say they're having selection continue to be reported to divert resources away extensively across the bbc. on from procedures like hip and knee replacements but that cancer treatment and life—saving care thursday night, president trump take were to remain a "priority". his position clear on that question ina his position clear on that question in a speech to supporters. his position clear on that question in a speech to supportersm his position clear on that question in a speech to supporters. if you count the legal votes, i easily ina when. if you count the illegal in a small number of hospitals there will be a few patients who won't get votes, they can try to steal the the treatment that they need as quickly as possible but obviously election from us if you count the what will happen is those patients votes that came in late, we're will be prioritised on the basis of clinical need and of course looking at them very strongly. the hospitals will do all of the important emergency surgery but it lack of evidence provided for those allegations at the election ad that means that for example people who might need knees replaced or who the election had been stolen because

might need knees replaced or who might need knees replaced or who might need hips replaced, they will of fraud led some us networks to ta ke might need hips replaced, they will take a bit longer than the hospital pull out of broadcasting that speech would ideally like but if you have life. the bbc, though, showed the got your bed full of covid patients, there really is not much choice. whole speech with analysis straight here on breakfast, we've been afterwards and has made it clear in bringing you the story headlines that the claims made by of paul harvey, the 80—year—old the president are unsubstantiated. former music teacher living for the actor anthony rapp, that with dementia, over the past few weeks. this morning, we've got another doesn't go far enough. he tweeted... heart—warming update. paul's collaboration with the bbc philharmonic orchestra on his viral single four notes has now entered the official charts at number 32 and was the most downloaded track of the week. here's how paul reacted when he found out. i'm thrilled to bits because that it has been a busy week for means that all of that money that is coming to which can go to these where the causes and thank you very jonathan. let us start with a much for everyone for doing it. you specific complaint about how the bbc

should be reporting or even how far know, i really do appreciate it and it should be reporting president i hope you —— i know nick does as trump's repeated complaints of well. you are a popstar, dad. , i election fraud. i think our strategy really has been to label what don't know about that, as i am president trump's says and what sitting here in my nightgown! anyone else says which can't be remembrance sunday will feel very different this year, corroborated or substantiated where we are not aware of the facts or but for world war ii veteran douglas newham, allegations that lie behind what he is saying and to lead the audiences it will still be a very make up their own mind. there are special occasion. after losing his friend occasions when we have labelled in battle 7a years ago, those interventions very clearly on 98—year—old douglas has finally had our website and on—air so that we the chance to pay tribute to his fallen comrade after tracking are bringing the news making event, down his memorial in cumbria. alison freeman has been to meet him. in this case, for example, a president trump press conference, to the audiences, but not leaving them in any doubt that we don't have and we were good friends. we had a we have not seen any evidence that enables us to make a judgement about whether they can or may or may not similar serious outlook to the job be true. but when you are reporting that we were doing. he was a genuine the news, why not make the headlines very factual, so start with, "no nice guy. i remember the last few winner yet", rather than starting with the president's allegations. words i had with bill when we were they will vary our by our stop we both going off and we climbed to

had, for example, president trump board our respective aircraft. i coming on about breakfast time our said see you over the dz, over the time on wednesday morning in the middle of what would normally be a dropping zone. in 1946 the second access programme, saying he had in world war was over. but douglas knew fa ct access programme, saying he had in fact won the election, and we were very clear with our audience that and his friend bill gallie remained that was not the case was not a couple of hours later, it might be in active service with the raf in the reaction of that and a couple of burma, dropping supplies of rice to hours after that, it is something remote villages facing starvation. someone else has said. headlines keep moving throughout the day and we flew without the door. we piled refresh the story. throughout wednesday and thursday, there were the sacks of rice in the doorway and no results. it was clearly unlikely we would fly over these villages to bea no results. it was clearly unlikely to be a final result for quite some very, very low gusts and i mean time. why did the bbc news make the 10-20 very, very low gusts and i mean 10—20 feet above the trees and then decision then to start scaling back on the coverage? the first king 's, topple the sacks out. the drops were just because there was no result, doesn't mean it is not a very dangerous, difficult to negotiate landscape. and after one of them, compelling story and of enormous... them, only douglas's team returned. we had lost three aircraft out of —— the first thing is. there was a lot of reaction to donald trump four. and there were 15 remembers throughout the morning on wednesday. it isa throughout the morning on wednesday. it is a very complicated story in who had been killed. 0ne the us. the system is very different four. and there were 15 remembers who had been killed. one of whom was from that we are used to here in the this pal of mine. douglas and bill's uk and that takes time to explain properly. not by day three, though?

friendship was forged during world war ii. the skilled raf navigators a lot of the new nuance is coming had survived numerous dangerous missions over europe as part of forward on day three. why is one statement declaring as well —— bomber command, like so many of instead of another state? how many votes have they got in the electoral theirfriends. bomber command, like so many of their friends. sadly, i have to say, college, so one and so forth. we are there are hundreds of my mates, most hearing from real people in michigan or pennsylvania or florida. that is quite time—consuming. once every of whom in the bomber command who four years which is all the american would lose them in multiples of elections come around, it is right seven because there were seven men, for us to devote a significant chunk of time to widowed to explaining and in my darker moments now, i that. on the balance of other news, still remember kind of coming back of course, your viewers are right that covid is a massive story. we dead tired from a ten hour trip, appear to be that covid is a massive story. we appearto be in that covid is a massive story. we appear to be in an autumn spike and there are hundreds of people dying per day at the moment in the uk. cold, tired and maybe one or two we've given that very, very extensive coverage and we absolutely aircraft was still missing and you'd will continue to do that. some hope that, well, maybe they have viewers might say you clearly allocated a lot of resources to landed somewhere for fuel because covering the us election and in the they got battle damage or something end you weren't really giving news and they would be along later and of viewers what they wanted and needed to hear. in their bulletins. element course they wouldn't come. but

douglas never forgot bill and there are two different issues course they wouldn't come. but douglas neverforgot bill and later in life when he moved from london to there. we allocate resources on the basis of the story we are going to bill's home county of cumbria, had be telling. there is a degree of more questions about his friend. bill's home county of cumbria, had educated guesswork about any story. more questions about his friendlj still did not know whether his name we know there are some states that are likely to be swing states but we don't necessarily know how the story was on the, on any war memorial, the is going to unfold or indeed when it war was over so would some official is going to unfold or indeed when it is going to unfold or indeed when it is going to unfold and there has to bea is going to unfold and there has to be a level of resilience of other resources we do deploy to make sure we are still there when the story is decide somewhere that his name should not go on the war memorial? still at its peak. then there is an educated guess about what —— then 0n remembrance day, we always say we what gets into the bulletins. the will remember them. and i was stories, the covid outbreak in the concerned well, did we remember them uk and the us elections, are both enough? so he enlisted the help of very important. over the last four and five days where both stories bbc radio cumbria to find out if have been very big with the election bill's name had been added to a results in the states as the covid lockdown in england, we've had to memorial in the county. and to his delight, it was, giving him the make some choices about how to chance to pay his respects to his balance those running orders. not friend once more. we have got everybody will agree with all of those choices but we have given both something that we would like to show you as well, message for you. and stories and significant airtime and significant analysis. one other very before he went to the spot where his specific question. some viewers are asking why the bbc has been so slow friend's name was inscribed, we showed him a message from bill's to call the results in particular

nephew. i'm so glad to be able to states, particularly when you speak to you regarding my uncle compare it to other broadcasters william. who was your great friend like cnn or news organisations like of the end of the second world war. ap. i don't want to get too technical and it is quite confusing and thank you on behalf of his that it technical and it is quite confusing thatitis technical and it is quite confusing that it is such that there are two family and friends for commemorating his life. how nice. thank you. just data providers for state—by—state results in the us elections. they're all projections. and as we know, they build up to the electoral a short drive from douglas's home, couege the moment he had waited for four they build up to the electoral college at 270 figure. we took a decision that we didn't want to decades finally came. —— waited for declare any state, even when our data provider was giving us the figures, until we were sure that it was beyond the point where the uncounted for decades. was beyond the point where the u ncou nted votes was beyond the point where the uncounted votes could switch the result and that's really essentially a matter of wanting to be right rather than first. so i'm not too how was that? pretty good! you know, worried about other organisations being ahead of it —— ahead of us by the odd estate here or there. i'd rather people go to the bbc weather he was a good friend. and this kind it is online or on air and knew the of thing going across, going on all figures they were getting was absolutely warranty to be right. across the country. yes. it is your that was our priority. —— we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc

we'll hear from the d—day at this morning's weather. veteran and fundraising hero harry billinge as the nation good morning to you. little bit cold prepares for a remembrance day with a difference. out there this morning for some of us. mist and fog but overall, the and for some of us this morning it weekend is actually going to be isa and for some of us this morning it is a little misty and foggy, but relatively mild, particularly across with a bit of luck there will be southern and central areas of the uk. today is mostly dry. sunshine around this afternoon as well. tomorrow we have some rain. you can it's saturday 7th see where the rain clouds are. this november, our top story. low pressure and area of cloud that in the past few hoursjoe biden has addressed the united states, is heading in our direction. this is and declared that he will win to the south of us to mostly today the race for the white house. overnight, donald trump had and tomorrow it will be over the uk. warned his rival not to claim the presidency, and that legal proceedings were only rain heading ourway just beginning. and tomorrow it will be over the uk. rain heading our way but not today. but speaking at his campaign headquarters with this low pressure, we have a in delaware, joe biden said he had a clear and convincing lead in key wince over the south and south—east states where the final ballots are being counted. —— wind. keeping the cold air to the north at bay but this time of year let's remind ourselves how that race stands. when the skies clear, it turns mr biden has extended his lead over chilli overnight anyway and we have president trump in pennsylvania had mist and fog forming overnight. and georgia but still needs 17 more you can see the fog is through this morning to stop some of the stubborn electoral college votes to reach fog may linger into the afternoon so

the 270 required to win. actually, mild in the headline but where it is foggy, it does look our washington correspondent lebo pretty raw out there. given some diseko has the story of the night. sunshine, it is not going to feel too bad. we are talking about 13— i6 degrees across the south of the joe biden's supporters danced country with a bit of a nip in the through the day and into the night air across the lowlands of scotland in the city of philadelphia. just around the eight or nine their candidate's lead in this state degrees. tonight again some mist and is steadily growing, and they can taste the victory. fog and places the top clear skies as well so it could be an early winning in pennsylvania would mean joe biden becomes the president. touch of frost in scotland. through with more than 95% of votes counted, he is inching his way there. the night, temperatures might rise and again in the south, the night is going to be mild so this time but with some votes still to come in, it may be some time before tomorrow morning in the south of the a result is declared. we don't have a final declaration. country, 12 celsius. that low pressure, the satellite picture i on friday evening, joe biden showed you early on, here is that addressed the nation. he stopped short of declaring low on the mat ash weather map. victory, but his tone and message — deliberately presidential. cloud and rain tomorrow. —— weather map. it won't be raining all the time. it will come and go and the numbers tell us it is clear. actually, towards the end of the

tell us a clear and convincing afternoon, it does look as though things might brighten up across the story. we are going to win this southin race. look at what has happened things might brighten up across the south in the south—west, particularly parts of wales and since yesterday. 24 hours we were parts of south—western england, behind in georgia and now we are again, 16, i4 ahead, now we are going to win that parts of south—western england, again, 16, 14 in hull, double figures in scotland as well. next state. 24—hour cycle we were behind week, focusing on the wind or the in pennsylvania and we are going to direction of the wind. a suggestion win pennsylvania. they are mostly coming in from the on twitter, donald trump again expressed frustration south. the computer models are at seeing his election night suggesting that temperatures will be lead miraculously disappear. a little above the average for the but it was the counting of postal votes that shifted the numbers so dramatically, time of year, maybe hitting i7 a process donald trump had told his supporters not to trust. degrees in the south and double figures across the board. mostly, as the results trickle in from other the weather will be changing a battleground states, little bit because we will see the picture building is not in his favour. weather fronts moving through at in both nevada and arizona, times bringing us some cloud and it joe biden's lead is increasing. sent pieces of rain but today, on georgia's results are so close, the whole, you have some sunshine, it won't be a bad day. back to you an automatic recount was triggered, both. thanks. but it is unlikely that would change the result by more than now on breakfast, it's time for the film review. a few hundred votes. out of the approximately 5 million votes cast, we will have a margin of

them together, it is where they held that annual pilgrimage. i don't remember it. it opens with the is watching pennsylvania because of those 20 electoral college votes. character hannah arriving on a grand they do still have some votes to be old hotel in the ancient egyptian counted, around 86,000 votes that city. in a time when few of us can they have to be counted. there are still votes coming in, military travel, this immediately invites a votes have a little bit more time. wistful pang of nostalgia. it soon becomes clear that hannah is far there is also the issue of what are from a happy tourist. she is a called provisional ballots where someone has voted but maybe there is surgeon who has just left a war zone an issue with the vote, maybe the id and is deeply traumatised by events that are all the more powerful for or signature that needs to be being unspoken. this follows hannah resolved. as i said in my report, donald trump has lodged several legal actions in pennsylvania alone closely as she drifts solemnly around the city's tourist and also around the country. it is attractions. her mood very gradually difficult to see how he would get to lifting as she bumps into an old flame called sultan. what are you that magic to 70 without pennsylvania or georgia as well, and georgia is about to go a recount, doing here? i can't believe you are here. yeah, i didn't think you would although that is unlikely to be here. at mac this is the kind of substantially change where we stand with things. it is a waiting game. i mood piece that invites you into was speaking to people in detroit, i someone's daily life, revealing back stories with efficient, minimal dialogue. while luxor might won't be can't even remember where i am or

where i have been! it was yesterday. for everyone, i was drawn invites people saying to me, there is a mysteries and its nuanced central pandemic on, why would you be performance. every glance and a sad half smile is more insight into surprised that it would take so long to get the votes in? i think that is hannah's pain and fading dreams. cinema called —— the cinematographer what ordinary people, people that needs the city in a beautiful life. are not necessarily as invested as yeah baby —— babes. luxor is a democrats and republicans, party people, might be, are saying. democrats and republicans, party people, might be, are sayingm democrats and republicans, party people, might be, are saying. it is exciting despite all the confusion gently rewarding flame which leaves about where you have been and what viewers with a timely message about you have been following. this is a patience and hope. it was due in cinemas before lockdown was moment. it is absently historic. announced but it is on demand now and you can also support your local whatever happens, we are watching cinema by going to a virtual history being made here. thank you screening. go to modern films .com. very much. foreign visitors arriving from denmark will be denied entry to the uk because of widespread coronavirus outbreaks on mink farms in the country. the decision was announced overnight by the british government and came into effect this morning. our correspondent andy moore is at heathrow airport for us this morning. andy — what's the latest? good morning. these are some pretty

tough restrictions that have been next up, the latest offbeat offering from swedish direction roy anderson imposed by the uk on denmark. some who last gave us a dark comedy of the toughest restrictions we have called a pigeon sat on a branch seen since the pandemic began. we reflecting on existence. his new film is called about endlessness have got four planes arriving from denmark today. the first plane arrived about 20 minutes ago here at because of it is glimpses into human lives from the trivial to the heathrow, a british airways plane, tragic. each one absorbing in its andi heathrow, a british airways plane, and i think you can bet the own way. narrated in unknown passengers on board that plane are observer, it has several recurring characters but no obvious narrative. getting some special attention right now. with military precision, the cull of around 17 million mink themes include resentment, 0bsession in denmark has already begun. it's a sign of how seriously and late life crisis. some are the danish government is taking the threat from a new strain bitterly, darkly funny like the of coronavirus that's believed priest helping himself to the to have spread to around 200 humans. communion wine and then being pushed out of the doctor's office while wailing about losing his face. 0thers wailing about losing his face. others have a sad poetic beauty like the danish government regards this the couple floating in the skies as a very concerning development above a war—torn city as if in a and we are treating it with the utmost seriousness. painting by mark chagall. anderson we're taking all necessary and appropriate actions, is first and foremost an artist. he including the culling sets out up painstakingly built in

miniature as in the recent being a of all remaining mink in denmark. we have indications that this unique human person, recently reviewed by mutation have a reduced response to antibodies which can ultimately affect the efficiency mark kermode. it also gave a glimpse of potential vaccines. into his troubled mind which also comes across in this maudlin piece of work. there is no doubting his the world health organization is monitoring the situation very closely but says it's too early talent and vision. imagine a to jump to conclusions. depressed wes anderson with a dash of euchre slant the moss and you get whatever the risk from the new strain, the british the pot —— picture. it is on curse government is very keen to stop it spreading here so has imposed some on home cinema now. very strict regulations at very short notice. no foreign visitors will be allowed in from denmark with immediate effect. british nationals will be exempt, but they will have to isolate with all other members of their families for two weeks. officials will also contact anyone who's been in denmark in the last fortnight to make sure they do the same. the concern of the danish authorities is that this new strain

may be resistant to vaccines, that is why they have imposed a local travel bans where many of the mink now onto a moving documentary about farms are. that is by the british a rainy and refugees. love child. authorities. i think they want to stop that strain spreading to the filmed over six years, love child is uk, getting here in the first place and spreading within the uk. i think a startlingly intimate insight into after that, they will try to decide whether it is dangerous or not. you very much. —— thank you. these two who are facing the death penalty in iran for having their son although many remembrance sunday out of wedlock. events will be different this year, fundraising has still been taking place across the country. in worcestershire, malvern rugby club have decorated their pitch with a huge painted poppy, while in warwickshire, students at alcester academy have raised more than £1,000 for the royal british legion by creating perspex poppies the process of applying for asylum in a garden of remembrance. consumes their everyday lives. insight into the bureaucracy and red tape are as frustrating as they should be but this film is really in its element when showing the daily it is ten past eight. lives of two people in distress, the highs and lows from the birthdays the gap between donald trump could to the bickering. and joe biden has widened overnight, as votes continue to be counted in the remaining battleground states.

let's speak now to supporters of both camps — inge kjemtrup is the chair of democrats abroad uk and aaron flahaut danish director ava takes us right is from republicans overseas. into this young family's world. one very good morning to both. minute you feel as if they're talking directly to you are the next you feel like you are eavesdropping republicans overseas, you will have been watching very closely. many ona you feel like you are eavesdropping on a fascinating but heartbreaking private conversation. love child is people are seeing momentum now, as we await those final results, is on demand now. very much withjoe biden. what picture do you see? right now, i see no matter what the result is, whether it continues injoe biden's we've seen plenty of gangster comedy is based in new york but this one is fever or swings back into donald trump's favour, i think it is likely refreshingly different. its protagonist is an 80—year—old the gap is so small we will see chinese grandmother. directed by recou nts the gap is so small we will see sasie sealy, lucky grandma stars recounts in a lot of those states and then from that point, we will have to wait for the recount. what do you make of donald trump, i know chin asa sasie sealy, lucky grandma stars chin as a straight talking widow he has been treating a lot. we heard

living in chinatown. after a tarot ca rd living in chinatown. after a tarot card reader convinces her she is in joe biden addressed the nation ona directly. we have heard a number of card reader convinces her she is in on a winning streak, she blows all of her savings on a casino and ends tweets from donald trump. what you up of her savings on a casino and ends up with a bag of cash that belongs make of what you're saying?” to the mob and decides to hire a cut tweets from donald trump. what you make of what you're saying? i know that i think everybody wants every price bodyguard to protect herself. single legitimate ballot to be counted and i can see that after the ballots are counted, we are going to have a close call in the election. there is going to be recounts and then these possibilities or accusations. the actual possibility of fraud, and that is going to be brought potentially before the supreme court. i think both sides should want that to happen, because if there is any kind of fraud the bond that then develops between happening, both sides should want to i don't leave that to rest or let it come to light so legitimate votes grandma is touching but also has a can be counted. we need to stay lot of slapstick comedy. straightaway, at this stage there is no evidence of fraud, that is widely recognised. do you want to pick up for us around democrats and what you

it is rarely hilarious but it is made ofjoe biden's speech this morning? he is reminding us that it endearing and it is also progressive when it comes to representation. isa morning? he is reminding us that it is a long way but in the end the this grandma is manipulative, quick numbers are telling us a clear and thinking, flawed. arcing stereotypes convincing story, that we are going and challenging ideas of a to win. you have been talking about traditional hero. it is available in the numbers here and biden is in the digital from traditional hero. it is available in digitalfrom monday the ninth of lead and that continues throughout. november. do you like it? ithought asi lead and that continues throughout. as i look at the numbers, what i am you could use some christmas cheer. also finding really encouraging is there is a lot of things i could use what they are telling us about the right now. getting my gas and hot water back on. haven't had a shower numberof what they are telling us about the number of people. the youth vote is in... three days. i thought there up, isaw number of people. the youth vote is up, i saw that fantastically. these was a nasty with in the air. good things are really encouraging. it is an enormous fight, i am quite confident that there is shortly we boy. wisdom, prayers, wishes for the will be getting news that biden has new year. you write things you are one family. the losses are quite thankful in the old one and hang them on the tree. nano is used to do baseless that trump and the republicans are doing. it is a it. thank you forjames's friendship. see? it's not so bad. desperate stand. i think we are seeing things where he wants to stop lim the angels are all around us if the count in one state and continue we just know where to look. lim the angels are all around us if we just know where to lookm lim the angels are all around us if we just know where to look. if you it somewhere else where it suits are ina we just know where to look. if you are in a cat lover central mood —— him. democracy was believed the if you are a cat lover and justin winner with this selection. people

we re winner with this selection. people were voting, the account has been are sentimental mood, it is inspired cam,| were voting, the account has been cam, lam hopefulthat were voting, the account has been cam, i am hopeful that will continue and we will have a resolution soon. by the stray ginger cat who became i think that is that on we got from inseparable from james bowen, a joe biden as well. it is important busker and former addict who went on to become a big issue seller and to think about tone now as well, wrote books about their enduring regardless of what happens with the bond. starring luke treadway as account because there has been a markedly different tone between president trump and joe biden when james and bob as himself, it sees the pair attracting the attention of it comes to their comments. that is animal welfare officers in the run—up to christmas. the case and that seems to have been animal welfare officers in the run-up to christmas. i wanted to chat to you about a couple of the case and that seems to have been the case and that seems to have been the case the entire election, but concerns will stop you can't take that doesn't necessarily mean that donald trump is in the wrong. as a him away from me! it doesn't feel quite as well—rounded as its republican, i found their selection, whatever the end result is going to predecessor and it certainly falls short when compared to paddington with which it shares some common be, ifind it promising and it seems ground that it is a heartfelt plea that the republican party is going for compassion for the homeless and to be retaining senate. we have vulnerable vulnerable ee house. if picked up many seats in the house of representatives and the republican base has become more diversified and you are the kind of person that that signals to me that a lot of the treats your cat like a child. if you rhetoric you are finding from the are watching this with actual small far left of the democratic party is humans, bear in mind this is a 1284 not resonating with the american people and they are starting to

in corfe —— infrequent moderate language was up it also has a retaliate and elect more postscript that might bring a few republicans. if joe retaliate and elect more republicans. ifjoe biden is tea rs before postscript that might bring a few tears before that time. it is president elect, what safety you available to rent now. finally, a have in him in terms of bringing tribute to a movie legend who we lost last week. sean connery. these divides —— narrowing these divides? he has talked about you said you wanted to know... do reaching across the aisle if he wins you really want to go? you see what the presidency. that sounds helpful. i hope if he wins, that will be the i'm saying? what are you prepared to joe biden who shows up. but do? throughout the election he has called people who voted for donald trump offer people which is not very i can't forget how wonderful it was. unifying. back in 2012 when he was thank you, it was rather wonderful. running against mitt romney, he tried claiming that mitt romney is 0ne thank you, it was rather wonderful. one of the best games bond actors one of the most mild republicans. he said he was going to put black and certainly the most imitated, he people back in chains. that is not was a charismatic screen presence, very unifying rhetoric. hopefully he winning an oscar for comes up and proves me wrong. one of was a charismatic screen presence, winning an oscarfor his role in the untouchables and played father to harrison ford's indiana jones in the the reality checks forjoe biden and

last crusade will stop you he is i think arendt made reference to it making an unforgettable entrance in there, is that he is clearly ahead his first bond movie. 1962's dr no. of the popular vote, as in the number of people who voted for him. he is head on that vote, but it bond, james bond. two mr bond, i remains a fact that a huge number of people in america voted for donald suppose you would care to raise the trump. that is something he has to limit? i have no objections. ta ke trump. that is something he has to take on board and take on board very quickly. yes. we still had a lot of divisions to be sure in the us, but looks like you are about to get me. let's remember also that during the time that trump has been president he has been fanning the flames of those divisions. he has made no effort to go across the aisle, to thanks for watching the film review listen to other people, to try and with me anna smith. mark kermode work in other viewpoints. it has will be back next week. meantime, stay safe. always been about him and the way he runs. i think we are looking for a more positive tone. we have to deal with huge issues we have come at the hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of today's main covid pandemic, our economy, systemic racism, climate change not

but for world war two veteran, ago, beaten 9—0 by lester and you douglas newham, it will be think they would suck the manager particularly poignant. but no! good job they did not! top after losing his friend in battle 74 years ago, 98—year—old douglas has finally of the tree! tepepe —— take it in, had the chance to pay tribute to him, after tracking down his memorial in cumbria. alison freeman has been to meet him. southampton fans! southampton are top of the premier league for the first time. in fact, it's been more than 32 years since they've been top of the pile in england. they moved above liverpool on goal difference after a 2—0 win at home to newcastle. a che adams volley set them on their way before stuart armstrong made the most of more sloppy we were good friends. newcastle defending, we had a similar serious outlook and the saints' boss says to the job that we were doing. it'sjust the beginning. it is nice to watch but it should he was a genuine, nice guy. i remember the last few words i had not kill the hunger for more. it is nice to watch but it should not kill the hungerfor more. we should stay hungry and we should get with bill when we were both going off and we climbed aboard our respective aircraft the feeling that everything is and said, "see you over the dz". possible with this team because we over the dropping zone. are we're not scared of any payment in 1946, the second world war was over. but douglas newham and his friend of the moment and this is a good bill gorely remained in active service with the raf in burma, sign, i think. manager ralph hasenhuttl said "ourfans will love it dropping supplies of rice to remote villages facing starvation. and they'll make a picture of the table" but it was the club that got in there first. have a look at this. we flew without the door. congratulations to whoever was in charge of the club's twitter piled the sacks of rice up

account last night and came up with "stop the count". in the doorway and we'd fly over very apt. these villages very, very low, and i mean ten to 20 feet above the trees, any fans who paid £14.95 for the brighton—burnley game then topple the sacks out. will be feeling short—changed. the drops were dangerous in difficult to negotiate landscape it was a drab, goalless draw. and after one of them, the nearest either side came only douglas' plane to a goal looked to be accidental — and team returned. a ball in from burnley‘s matt lowton flying over his target we had lost three aircraft out and hitting the crossbar. of four and there were 15 crew members who had been killed. burnley are having their worst start to a top flight season. still without a win, they're second from bottom with brighton three places above them. one of whom was this pal of mine. 0le gunnar solskjaer believes he's still the right man to take manchester united forward, despite their precarious position douglas and bill's friendship in the league. they head to everton today was forged during world war ii. the skilled raf navigators had after back—to—back defeats. survived numerous dangerous missions over europe as part it is unusual for them to be of bomber command, it is unusualfor them to be in it is unusual for them to be in the lower reaches. unlike so many of their friends. sadly, i have to say there are... i don't look at one or two results ..there're hundreds of my mates... and fall like a house of cards. it most of whom in the bomber command has been too much made of not days, we would lose them scoring against arsenal and chelsea.

and not long ago, we were the best in multiples of seven because there was seven in them. thing since sliced bread when you and in my darker moments now, i still remember, kind of, meet leipzig so ups and downs in coming back dead tired from perhaps football and studies the way it has a ten hour trip, cold, to be and you have to have that belief in yourself. tired and may be one or two aberdeen scored twice inside the first 12 minutes against hibs to move level with second—placed celtic aircraft were still missing in the scottish premiership. scott wright scored the opener in a 2—0 win that took them above their opponents in the table and you'd hope that, well maybe they've landed going into the international break. somewhere for fuel because. .. ..or they've got battle damage meanwhile, 300 fans were allowed in to watch ross county's1—1 somewhere and they'll be along later and of course, then draw against livingston. they wouldn't come. but douglas never forgot bill dingwall is in the highlands and islands, which has been and later in life when he moved designated tier 1 by from london to bill's home county the scottish government, who then gave permission of cumbria, he had more for a limited number of supporters to return to football questions about his friend. under strict protocols. today is the day for that i still didn't know whether his name dreams could come true for amateur sides like south shields, king's lynn town and concord rangers in the first was on an any war memorial. round of the fa cup. the matches allowed to go ahead, as i say, the war was over so would despite grass roots football some official decide somewhere being suspended in england that his name shouldn't go for the latest lockdown. on the war memorial? on remembrance day we always say, there are 31 non—league teams

left in the competition "we will remember them". after the lowest ranked, of them all — skelmersdale united, from the 9th tier — were beaten by harrogate town, i was concerned, well, who themselves were a non—league team last year. did we remember them enough. no fans will be in any so he enlisted the help of the grounds this weekend due of bbc radio cumbria to find out to the pandemic but 13 games if bill's name had been added are being shown on the bbc. get ready for a bit to a memorial in the county. of a tongue—twister. wigan have won the league leader's and to douglas' delight, it was, giving him the chance to pay his respects to his friend once more. shield in super league. we've got something that we'd the regular season was cut short and wigan's19—8 victory over like to show you as well, just a little message for you. huddersfield giants and before he went to the spot earned them the prize. there'll now be two weeks where his friend's name of playoffs before the grand final was inscribed, we showed him on 27th november. a message from bill's nephew. british cyclist hugh carthy has his last chance to win this i'm so glad to be able to speak year's vuelta a espana today. to you regarding my uncle william, the mountain stage will suit him who was your great friend at the end as he tries to overcome a 53—second gap to leader primoz roglic, of the second world war. who went further ahead with second and thank you in behalf place on stage 16. of his family and friends whoever‘s in front won't be for commemorating his life. challenged on tomorrow's procession into madrid. how nice. thank you. just a short drive from douglas' home, the moment he'd waited british champion alice barnes was fifth on the opening stage for for decades finally came. of the women's vuelta a espana with lorena viebes

generally does not feel that warm so were on radio three last night, there you go. but is it 17 degrees or not then? in those months, would life, connecting to our audiences. this is the gift we have in music and the gift the bbc has that we can it say 17 degrees? yes, it would but you see, the feeling of warm, hot give to our audiences. it is a and cold is notjust a function of wonderful thing to be part of. give to our audiences. it is a wonderfulthing to be part of. on a technical note, has the bbc what the thermometer is saying. it philharmonic been on the charts before? we have been on the is how we perceive the warmth so it classical charts plenty of times and is how we perceive the warmth so it we have just released an album. we is the sunshine, much moister there is the sunshine, much moister there is in the air, the sort of rate of hope that one will get into the change of heat between our skin and classical charts. i don't think we the airso not... have ever been in the pop charts. we change of heat between our skin and the air so not... i would like in on had an album with clean bandit not the air so not... i would like in on the slightly bizarre situation now. this is my theory. in november when so long ago, but i don't remember those charting like this. certainly it is 17 degrees, psychologically it not. it's the philharmonic open to feels warmer than 17 degrees because everyday people, to give ideas and you are expecting it less whereas if the collaborations? collaboration is it were in may, you would be thinking oh, it is 17 degrees! it's at the heart of what we do. at the chilly! but now it is over, it is 17 moment, very challenging times, so degrees! so rain has a part to play we are going to schools remotely,

also. absolutely, and actually what digitally, our musicians are working in schools every week at the moment. sometimes might happen, ignore what i'm saying and just look at the just connecting with children and weather map well, what may happen supporting music teachers, and we when we 17 degrees say in late autumn, we probably would have had had a big project around local radio quite a cool spell before that and through lockdown with ten local suddenly it shoots up to 17 and it northern radio stations, orchestrating pieces that connected feels relatively pleasant. but i tell you what, let's stop the their audiences. all of these ideas came from on audience members. we conversation because we will go round in circles and it is a subjective matter so let's talk about absolutes, 16 degrees today, can update life in our studio, but thatis about absolutes, 16 degrees today, that is above the average for the we can play online and individual as time of year in the south of the country, take it how you like it, always. yes, we want to know. this and if the sunshine comes out it came through at broadcasting house will fill pleasant but where the fog ona came through at broadcasting house on a sunday morning on radio four, lingers today it will feel pretty and hejust chilly. 0h, on a sunday morning on radio four, and he just rang yesterday morning lingers today it will feel pretty chilly. oh, my goodness gracious! and he just rang yesterday morning and said, isn't this really what we anyway, i hope you are getting the are all about? listening to our audience. we cannot do every idea. point today in the forecast! it will be pretty chilly across the north of but we will do what we can, and we the country in the morning, maybe a custom —— touch of frost early in have another project coming up next the night by cloud and rain is week. i can't tell you what it is, moving into the uk and it will be a but we have got a wonderful little more overcast sort of day and this project coming up next week which i

is the interesting thing, tomorrow the temperatures will be probably a am sure people will pick up on. can little above average for the time of you give us a little hint? there is year but because there will be a lot of cloud around in places, because a big charitable thing happening in there is going to be some rain the bbc in the next couple of weeks. around, it is probably not going to feel all that warm, if you know what sometimes it involves fluffy ears. we have got some new people and big imean, so 13, feel all that warm, if you know what i mean, so13, 14, feel all that warm, if you know what i mean, so 13, 14, 15 here for example around east anglia and ligature but with cloud and bits of collaboration there. a really moving rain it does not feel that great. thing, we decided of yesterday. it isa what is the weather map telling us? thing, we decided of yesterday. it is a really moving some, very went from continuing to get a sense different to this. but again, very of the weather, coming in from the south and it does mean that those temperatures will stay on the milder powerful. get in touch. we are about side so certainly, look at that, this is what naga was referring to, 17 degrees but if it stays cloudy, to launch a newsletter. find us on social media and stay in touch with and dreary, it will not feel that us, because whenever we can we will good if the sun comes out and it is connect in these ways. good to chat. 17 it is going to feel so much better so it really all does depend on many more factors, the weather, congratulations. i they called the than how it feels than just that p0p congratulations. i they called the number, just the thermometer on its pop charts? i think it is the own but you can see a bit of a mixed official charts. i am bag actually over the next few days pop charts? i think it is the official charts. iam not and if you miss points in the pop charts? i think it is the official charts. i am not usually looking at the stuff. lovely to see

forecast, there will be a full forecast, there will be a full forecast coming up again without it this morning. this discussion in about half—an—hour. this discussion in about half-an-hour. no, then we will have the discussion again.” stay with us — this morning's main news stories half-an-hour. no, then we will have the discussion again. i think the are coming up next. nation will engage in this as well. they are already engaged, trust me! my they are already engaged, trust me! my goodness! i dread to think what twitter is saying because as i said it isa twitter is saying because as i said it is a subjective matter, this. look forward to the rest of the morning. let's see what is coming up in the next half—hour. we will see the people who are getting dan lobb down take two in their very own special ways. we'll be back with the headlines at 7, but first it's time for this week's episode of click. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up before nine we'll have the sport and weather. but first a summary of this morning's main news. in the last few hours, joe biden has declared he will win the race to the white house — as the final ballots

welcome to click. are being counted in key states. hope you're doing 0k. but, his rival donald trump warned him not to claim victory now, we're recording this and said that legal proceedings on wednesday, by the time were onlyjust beginning. you see it, england will be joe biden currently needs 17 more in its second lockdown. electoral college votes so, i've just been out to get to reach the 270 required to win. my emergency pre—lockdown haircut. yes, and i need to get my roots speaking at his campaign headquarters in delaware, done before midnight so we better hurry up! he said he had a clear and then i guess over the coming weeks, well, we'll be back to this. and convincing lead. we don't have a final declaration of victory, yet. the numbers tell us it's clear — tell us a clear and convincing story. i guess so, i guess so. we are going to win this race. so although lockdown is an inconvenience for some, just look at what is happening since and a financial crisis for many, there are those people whose medical conditions make the coronavirus even yesterday. 24 hours, we were behind more dangerous. take cystic fibrosis. now, this is an inherited condition that affects around 11,000 in georgia, now we are ahead and we people in the uk. it causes a thick, sticky mucus are going to win that state. we were to build up in the lungs and the digestive system. behind in pennsylvania and we are going to win pennsylvania. foreign visitors arriving from denmark from this morning, recently the cystic fibrosis will no longer will permitted entry trust, the university to the uk, after widespread of cambridge, microsoft and the royal papworth hospital have teamed up to create coronavirus outbreaks on mink farms in the country. project breathe. the decision was made overnight it's a remote monitoring

platform that uses artificial by the british government. intelligence. due to the pandemic, denmark has announced its own the project has sped up. strict lockdown rules it originally had 97 patients. and the prime minister said by the end of this year, the country would cull its expected to have 500. all of its mink — we went to visit sammie read to hear about her experience as many as 17 million. with the project. sammy was two years old when she was diagnosed with cf and was one of project breathe's earliest participants. we can find out more about this now with gp, sarah jarvis. we wa nt we want to concentrate on what is so i use these pieces of equipment to upload happening in denmark. we understand all of my data that the virus has jumped into happening in denmark. we understand that the virus hasjumped into mink automatically to my phone. and mutated and then there is evidence that it has me dated back the equipment is used to monitor key indicators to humans, is that right? it more such as lung function and oxygen saturation, which are automatically kind of slid thanjump into mink. we compiled and tracked have known for some months that mink we re have known for some months that mink were able to catch coronavirus and via an app. with other viruses we have seen that she coughs the ai is used to recognise patterns and predicts any decline in health early. there is a sort of reservoir in it then alerts an individual when they need to go animal server example with bird flu, for a check—up. those living with cf usually have to attend a clinic that could be caught by pigs but so

every six weeks, even if they're well. that results in a huge number of wasted days for people, disrupting their lives good human flu, so they could mix and putting them at risk of infection. and thenjump good human flu, so they could mix and then jump back good human flu, so they could mix and thenjump back into humans, so what has happened here, we have seen cases of the virus in mink for some the artificial intelligence within this months but there has been this monitors my data input mutation particularly, everyone has heard about the spike protein on the outside of the bowl that is the virus that affects its abilities to make antibodies and it is also what and it can see trends the vaccine makers have been using in most cases to target the virus, so if it changes that spike protein so it can see, for example, when i'm likely to pick up there is a real concern that it an infection looking forward. when, for example, they can could affect, people could be more see 11 days in advance affected and it could affect within the trends that, you know, you are likely to be going downhill so they can pick vaccines. inevitably i need to that up quicker, which means i can treat myself quicker, follow that through, people think it which means that i'm not then obviously admitted as an inpatient. attending a clinic every six has happened with mink in denmark, weeks also means that relatively little data is collected, both on the individual and across all of those living with cf. but what are the risks more but now, eight or nine pieces of data can be captured at home every day of the year.

generally? interestingly, we haven't i'm finding artificial intelligence really interesting. seen it in a lot of other animals. there have been a couple of cases of cats, cat owners got concerned because there was a scare that they we re because there was a scare that they were being told that their cats i'm finding it that — could not be let out at all. there how can something so simple as uploading some data have been a few cases of cats mean that it can save me time, getting it but none of them passing it can save the nhs time, it back. mink seem to be the big it can save my consultant time concern, although raccoons are also a concern but we don't have many of but it's, everything'sjust moving forward and ijust think it's them in this country. people have such a wonderful thing been hearing about hospitals in that we can, you know, manchester and birmingham. this is the announcement about operations obviously input something that will not be able to take place now because of the pressure on those that takes five minutes that is going to then, hospitals from covid—19 patients. you know, increase everyone's chances of living longer. tell us about that. this has always mike is 42. been my big concern from the first lockdown, in the first lockdown, we saw that basically everything stopped, people were told to stay in their homes, people self—isolating we re their homes, people self—isolating were told to cut themselves off completely. that had a huge knock—on he works in tech and impact on mental health and the lives in west sussex with his wife and five kids. he's also one of the 264 million people around the world delay because in hospitals it caused

who experience depression. huge problems with a backlog not just of routine operations but with i've had depression for 15 things like cancer, and now we have years clinically, living day to day with mood swings and upsetting thoughts evidence that delays in cancer like suicide. you can spend a week where you don't want to get out of bed of a morning. diagnosis is linked to a 6—13% increase in deaths, so i am sometimes, when you're depressed you just don't feel like talking. desperate that he should try to keep hospitals operating. in birmingham over the past year, mike and now manchester they have said has swapped traditional that they have seen such a steep therapy for an app and an electricity—emitting headset. today, only half of patients rise in the number of beds affected, are accessing the treatment and in some parts of the country they need, but this set—up could help them get immediate they have reached the stage where support without even for the first time summer beds are leaving the house. more occupied with coronavirus cases than they were in the first pandemic it fits me really and that means, of course, that nicely, actually. there is simply not enough beds a weak current stimulates available, not enough staff the part of the brain that's usually less active available, not enough staff available, to allow those other inthose with depression. it's a weaker version operations so it is a real concern of similar treatments already delivered by doctors in clinics. to them. all of which means we are it just tickles, now in the second lockdown, the first weekend of it, and the link just a little bit. between how people behave now and what will happen a month ahead in

terms of hospitals, these things are exercise, nutrition directly linked as to how people and mindfulness. react now, to the new restrictions i sit back and relax in place. yes, absolutely. it is or i go on the app. really crucial that we make this lockdown count. and that means female voice: close your eyes and direct your focus into your body. following the rules, because it will focus on your breathing. the last thing i did an attention exercise and it was — it was a video not bring the r number down, we have to show me how to — for mindfulness, how to calm myself and focus seenin not bring the r number down, we have seen in parts of the country the on my breathing. number of cases taking off but it will take some time for those male voice: try not restrictions really to bite, if to think about these thoughts as distracting. everybody does what they have been they're actually part of mindfulness practice. most communication on the app goes through a chat bot. told to, if the government uses this this encourages users to stick to sessions, suggest positive actions and record progress. i've done 25 hours of stimulation, it knows that time to get test and trace up and i've done 63 of the chat running, and more local, which we sessions, and i can see on this know it is more effective, and if people do self—isolate when they are treatment programme that there told to, that is a really important is a downward curve, and a downward curve means that pa rt told to, that is a really important part of it, then we can make a difference, we can keep that i'm feeling less depressed, pressure on, we can keep people with which is really important, obviously. non—disease—macro conditions being

when you're on your medication, treated. this is a day off for you, how will the rest of the day be you don't know how looking? i save up all of the you're doing. papers, there is a huge amount of but with this research coming out at the moment so treatment, you do. things have changed i will save that and spent the rest are fairly fundamental — of the day going over it but i will things like being able be going out for a long cycle ride. to engage with my children good, take a moment. do take a more, being able to get moment. that is my advice to the into my workshop and do things doctor. and i will go to see my 94 that i find relaxing. being out of a depressive mood is life—changing. what it does is that it makes it easier for the brain cells to fire or to discharge, your dad on a zoom call, where i will see the top of his head! —— 94—year—old dad. and it's been looked at in thousands of people from around the world. will see the top of his head! —— 94-year-old dad. sarah, enjoy your cycle ride. we all know those zoom i think this is a potential first—line treatment for depression — moments! mike, ifi particularly for people who cannot take anti—depressant medication or who might not cycle ride. we all know those zoom moments! mike, if i said to you guns want to take anti—depressant and roses, sweet child of mine, give medication or who don't want mea and roses, sweet child of mine, give me a rough time. 1988? the last time psychotherapy.

that doesn't mean that the treatment comes without risk, though. that southampton were top of the pile. it was around the time of enya and orinoco flow. concerned that people might just use this instead of getting — having a proper assessment and getting proper help. for southampton, fans maybe thought even flow‘s founders in sweden accept their device won't work for everyone. it's the same they had would never see this day. a for all treatments. even as a clinical psychologist, i know clu b they had would never see this day. a club that often sells their best that even up to 60% go out of the clinician's office players. even for a day, being top and haven't got of the premier league, it will send an effect from cbt, for example. we know that's true with anti—depressa nts also. but it's the app shivers down your spine. saints fans they believe will really keep will be looking at the table again users on course. and again. in fact, it's been more than 32 it's the chat bot we know that has many, many functions, years since they've been top of the pile in england. so we want to be able they moved above liverpool on goal to explain to the user that it is important that difference, after a 2—0 win you follow treatment at home to newcastle. protocol, we want to be able a che adams volley set to remind them about that, them on their way, to increase the efficacy. before stuart armstrong made the most of more sloppy newcastle defending, and the saints boss says anything is possible now.

and if you feel that any fans who paid the extra, you need some support, you can go on the website £14.95 for the brighton—burnley game below to see details of the help available. will be feeling short—changed... now, we're going to continue with our health theme ..they didnt get to see a goal. and talk about surgery, specifically keyhole surgery. this is something that can the nearest either side came, be quicker than normal to scoring, looked to be accidental, surgery, because less trauma a ball in from burnley‘s matt and it can reduce lowton, flying over his target recovery times. and hitting the crossbar. burnley are having their worst start to a top—flight season, still without a win, they're second from bottom with brighton three places above them. aberdeen scored twice inside the first 12 minutes against hibs to move level with second—placed celtic in the scottish premiership. scott wright scored this kind of surgery the opener in a 2—0 win can be carried out that took them above their opponents by remote—controlled robots. in the table, it's just not that going into the international break. widely available. but paul carter has been to see meanwhile, 300 fans were allowed in a new type of robot surgeon that could change that. to watch ross county's 1—1 i'm certainly no stranger to scrubs. draw against livingston. you can see the arms dingwall is in the highlands moving behind me. they almost look like they're and islands, moving independently. this us robot still dominates which has been designated tier1 the market but it's big, by the scottish government, its heavy and costs who gave permission for a limited nearly $2 million a pop. number of supporters, but now there is a new british to return to football bot on the block and this helps under strict protocols. to aim patients kill quicker by just a few access cuts. today is the day that it turns out, stacking tiny dreams could come true blocks is perfect for surgeons for amateur sides like in training. south shields, king's lynn town

and concord rangers, in the first round of the fa cup. the matches allowed to go ahead, despite grassroots football being suspended in england today, only around a third for the latest lockdown. there are 31 non—league teams of people who could have left in the competition, keyhole surgery actually get it. after the lowest ranked, it's hoped this small mobile set up will make it more of them all, skelmersdale united, from the 9th tier, were beaten accessible. one of the differences with this design is that it's modular by harrogate town. which makes a portable. which means it very, no fans will be in any even someone like me should be able to move it. of the grounds this weekend surgeons wear 3d glasses due to the pandemic, but 13 games to improve depth perception, while controllers manipulate wristed arms for greater dexterity are being shown on the bbc. and dan has a busy day, and precision. down the corridor for us now, then football focus and then hosting one of those matches, on bbc 2, one of the troubles at fc united, at 5.30... with the big robotic system is it occupies the field. when you're not yes, they are taking on doncaster doing the surgery, very often the theatre rovers. their manager has had to then stands empty. self—isolate. all sorts of stuff going on for both sides. we'll be you could fold this up and move it to the theatre next door live with alex scott and micah to colleague number two who needs it, honestly, richards. it could be an interesting in a few minutes. there is no tremor because the instruments take battle for the ratings against that away from it. anything you can give that strictly! we will look at that fc reduces the physical strip, it's a win.

united against doncaster game, and we are looking at tonbridge angels, what's amazing is just the level of movement. it's like you're playing a nintendo switch. magnificent name, in the national it looks like a game league south, taking on bradford but it's not a game, this is, you know, life and death, city of league 2. we will be live at quite literally. that game just after restart, and it i can get it exactly is the last time that tonbridge were where i want it in the fa cup since 1972, the first and it's relatively effortless. round of the fa cup. a long wait for he has completed more than once them. surely take on wigan in the thousand operations this year, first round of the fa cup. one of those lovely stories where the rolling into several nhs chorley manager is the head teacher hospitals, including this one in surrey. it's proving particularly ofa useful amidst the coronavirus chorley manager is the head teacher of a local school, and he says it is pandemic. far more interesting to look after these children at the school than to try and take charge of the team, who this operating theatre, we're only using because of covid. we wouldn't be able to get are more unruly on occasions. we have a big round of premier league the other robot we use foot ball have a big round of premier league football also, manchester city taking on liverpool at some stage into this because it's this weekend so the top two from just too tight. all of these models you can la st this weekend so the top two from last season facing each other. also see are much smaller. we can move them during chelsea, doing well under frank the operations and you're only constrained lampard this season, facing by the number of units sheffield united, currently bottom you can get around the table. increasing keyhole surgery in of the premier league. we have been this way could help to reduce the risk from coronavirus, not only to patients, speaking to chelsea's ben chilwell, but to medical staff too.

talks about life in lockdown, that was paul. how amazing was that? preparing for lockdown two, and this is one of the things that he spoke i feel like everything this week has been super interesting! to us about what life was like for and there's even more great stuff waiting him, particularly, first time round. in the full—length version which is waiting for you right now on iplayer. at the time, i lived by myself in leicester, as ever, throughout the week, so it was important to be around you can find us on youtube, other people during that time instagram, facebook, and twitter at bbc click. so, you know, being able to go home thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. to my mum's and spend the rest of bye— bye. lockdown there, that was nice for me, nice for her. to get to spend a lot of time with each other, which we haven't, you know, had the opportunity to do for years. and it's obviously going to be the same thing this time, with your family, it's obviously going to be important. i think, if you're by yourself, to try and stay busy. what i found helped me a lot was exercising. obviously, i had to because of myjob! but also, it was quite a good thing for keeping me busy, and if i could ask anything of anyone that's living by themselves, and struggling it's to try and exercise. and the fascinating story of afc

any top league in england. they have been top of the championship and league 1. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. i don't know about having all the good morning. a nswe rs , i don't know about having all the answers, but some of them. a pretty good day on the way. we have got welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. some mist and fog around but on the 0ur headlines today: whole, it is a fine day. it will be closing in on victory: quite mild across southern areas but joe biden tells america that he is on his way tomorrow there's more cloud on the to the white house. the numbers tell us it's clear — way. so if you have the sunshine tell us a clear and convincing story. we are going to win this race. today make the most of it. tomorrow, that mist will be in place across democrats have been celebrating in the street, but there have been protests from republicans much of the uk so we have a window with donald trump warning joe biden of relatively fine weather at the not to claim the presidency. moment. clouds streaming our way, so we'll have the latest from washington throughout the morning. there's going to be rain tomorrow. all foreign visitors from denmark have been banned from entering the uk because of a strain this is what it looks like through of coronavirus that's spread

from the country's mink farms. saturday. you can see the wins coming in from the south. that is a mild sauce, keeping the cold air at bay across the northern atlantic. we have fog in one or two places good morning! lingering into the afternoon, but saints savour the moment: for the first time ever, southampton are top of the premier league after beating mostly a re lingering into the afternoon, but mostly are nice, sunny day across newcastle. their manager says the uk with sunshine across "anything is possible". we'll hear from the d—day veteran scotland, and parts of north—western and fundraising hero harry billinge as the nation prepares for a remembrance day england, northern ireland, too, with with a difference. the possibility of a couple of showers, on those little blobs of and for some of us this morning, it's a little misty, blue affecting parts of wales and a little foggy, but with a bit the south—west. temperatures above of luck, there'll be some sunshine around this afternoon as well. average, 16 in the south, closer to the norm in the lowlands of scotland, where it will stay quite misty and naughty through today. tonight in the north where we have good morning. it's saturday 7th november. clear skies, there will be a touch our top story: of frost. the mist and fog will in the past few hours, joe biden has addressed return to eastern areas, then cloud america and declared that he will win the race and rain starts spreading in during for the white house. the night to south—western parts of 0vernight, donald trump had warned his rival not to claim the presidency and that the night to south—western parts of the uk, with the southerly winds so legal proceedings were onlyjust beginning. temperatures will be holding around but speaking at his campaign headquarters in delaware, 12 in plymouth tomorrow morning. joe biden said he had a clear and convincing lead in key states there is another weather front to where the final ballots

the south but this is the one that will be moving across most of us are being counted. during the course of sunday. you can let's remind ourselves see where the rain is, it is not one how that race stands. mr biden has extended his lead over solid, coherent blob of rain, but if president trump in pennsylvania and georgia but still needs 17 more you're unlucky, it will be heavy at electoral college votes to reach the 270 required to win. times. for most of us, we are talking about a cloudy day with occasional outbreaks of rain. 0ur washington correspondent lebo diseko has the story of the night. temperatures averaging around 13 degrees. in the south late on sunday, it looks as though it will joe biden supporters danced brighten up with some sunshine through the day and into the night coming our way on sunday. here is in the city of philadelphia. the beginning of next week. we have a suggestion of mild southerly winds their candidate's lead in this state is steadily growing and they can taste the victory. coming up from the azores. these winning in pennsylvania would mean weather fronts will be encroaching joe biden becomes the president. by the end of the week, by friday, with more than 95% of votes counted, we will see gale force winds and he is inching his way there. rain across western parts. until then, southerly winds keeping things but with some votes still to come in, it may be some time before mild. 16 in cardiff and belfast, and a result is declared. we don't have a final declaration... from time to time there will be rain on friday evening, joe biden addressed the nation and stopped but there will be some sunshine short of declaring victory around as well. back to you. thank but his tone and message deliberately presidential.

you. children in need returns on friday as it celebrates 40 years of fundraising. the numbers tell us it's clear — 4,000 charities across the uk benefit tell us a clear and convincing from the money that you donate, story. as emma vardy‘s been finding we're going win this race. just look at what has out in belfast. happened since yesterday. 24 hours, we were behind in georgia. this is brielle, our little miracle baby. now we're ahead and we're she was born at 25 weeks. going to win that state. brielle is a girl who genuinely knows where she wants to go. 24 hours ago, we were behind in pennsylvania, she usually has big and we are going smiles on this one. to win pennsylvania. and her sense of fun keeps her sisters on twitter, donald trump again and her family on their toes. expressed frustration at seeing his election night lead together, they are an amazingly miraculously disappear. but it was the counting of postal strong team, but lockdown has been hard because it's meant she's been votes that shifted the numbers missing out on some specialist activities that she loves. she has cochlear implants, so dramatically — a process she's completely deaf. donald trump had told his supporters she is blind in her right eye not to trust. and low vision in her left eye. she loves being with people, as results trickle in from other so that's been hard in lockdown battleground states, the picture building because it's kind ofjust with her family and is not in his favour. not so much contact. in both nevada and arizona, she'll always sign maybe she'll want a book. joe biden's lead is increasing. she'lljust sign what she wants georgia's results are so close, at the time, to be honest. an automatic recount was triggered so, like, sometimes but it's unlikely that would change the result by more than a few hundred votes. she'll say, "ball".

donald trump has filed legal action these music classes run in several states in an effort to turn his fortunes around, and there's no evidence for children with complex needs of the widespread in northern ireland have been badly fraud that he alleges. missed since they were put on hold over lockdown. the legal hurdles may it's the sensory aspect of music create a bumpy path, butjoe biden increasingly seems that she gets so much out of. to be on firm footing on his road what does it mean to to the white house. you when you see her able to experience things that you thought she might have missed out on? i mean, i have cried so many times watching her little performances, 0ur washington correspondent watching her interact with the volunteers. lebo disekojoins us now. so itjust opens up an opportunity this is interesting right now, isn't of enjoyment for her. a lot of clubs for normal kids, it, because joe biden this is interesting right now, isn't it, becausejoe biden clearly yesterday evening american time, he it's not accessible to her was waiting and waiting himself to with her disabilities. see if anything else will transpire before he addressed the nation so where are we looking and what could change soon? i think we're all brielle communicates using sign language. can you say that you are happy? happy. but being able to express really, charlie, just hoping that we herself through music is something she misses. will have an answer soon! but you so angel eyes, the group behind it, know this is a process and it does have been finding new ways to offer ta ke know this is a process and it does take time, but is what officials in the music therapy over zoom. all of the states have been saying, they're really meaningful

actually, let us do things for the kids, they can really engage with them and take part. accurately and these things do take their development is coming on so lovely. time. the reason everyone is so it's very, very social. focused on pennsylvania, of course, is that it has those 20 electoral couege is that it has those 20 electoral college votes and if it did declare forjoe biden, he would have that i think we all agree that music is a universal communication device. magic number that would put him in and we don't need words to be able the white house. he would be over to communicate through music. it's a real leveller as well. 270. i mean, look, there are several things still happening in pennsylvania. there are votes that it's your children in need money are still to come in, military that helps to pay for a music teacher and specialist support votes, they have some extra time, workers to make the sessions happen. also the issue of what are called because pandemic or no pandemic, provisional ballots, where there is for this family, it's about making an issue that the voter needs to the most of every day resolve so maybe something like identification needing to be and appreciating every achievement. confirmed. 0n the issues with donald everyday is a gift. like, the first six months, trump's various legal actions, we didn't she would live. several cases he has brought there, so that was the worst so all of that stuff is happening six months of my life. and slowing it down. it is difficult but here she is, very much living. to see a path for donald trump to for now, coronavirus continues 270 without taking georgia or to place restrictions pennsylvania and as i mentioned

on all our lives, so this year there in my report, georgia is about children in need will be trying to go toa there in my report, georgia is about to go to a recount, unlikely it will change things but it does slow to raise money to make sure that things down. interestingly i was as much fun and learning as possible speaking to people the other day in for children like brielle can continue. detroit who said to me why would you emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. be surprised that this is taking time, we are in the middle of a pandemic. so yeah, everything is we can speak to matt baker now. he quite different at the moment. lebo, thank you so much. will be doing his rickshaw challenge foreign visitors arriving this year. i don't know how much of from denmark will be denied entry to the uk because of widespread that piece you were able to hear. coronavirus outbreaks on mink farms in the country. the decision was announced overnight the little girl we were talking by the british government and came into effect this morning. 0ur correspondent andy moore is at heathrow airport about, brielle, lives really are for us this morning. andy, what's the latest? changed by music therapy. no doubt about it. thousands of young people who are relying on the generosity of the good british public to donate so good morning. these are some of the that their projects can make such a toughest travel restrictions imposed real difference to their lives. it in any country since this pandemic is not just like you real difference to their lives. it is notjust like you see there with began. there are four flights and brielle's mum, it is the benefit to one due to arrive today from the whole family. it makes a real denmark, the first british airways difference. that is always my kind

flight, denmark, the first british airways flight, due to arrive at heathrow of driving force since i have been the hour. you would hope that non— involved. my perspective on children british nationals getting on board that flight would have been told in need changes. you put yourself in about the new restrictions. 0therwise when they turn up here, a position of the people who need they will be refused entry by the that help, that care, that extra border officials and told to go back assistance, they just need that help, that care, that extra assistance, theyjust need those home. with military precision, people and those projects that are the cull of around 17 million mink in denmark has already begun. just life changing for so many it's a sign of how seriously the danish government is taking people. that's why, year after year, the threat from a new strain i come out and do what i can, of coronavirus that's believed to have spread to around 200 humans. whether it is the ramble with countryfile or the rickshaw the danish government regards this challenge for the one show, i couldn't not do this. so, tell us as a very concerning development and we are treating it with the utmost seriousness. about the logistics that have gone we are taking all necessary and appropriate actions, into a very different year for the including the culling rickshaw challenge. it has been a of all remaining mink in denmark. massive, massive challenge this year we have indications that this unique getting this far. quite a few months mutation has a reduced response ago we looked at the situation and to antibodies, which could ultimately affect the efficiency thought how are we going to do this of potential vaccines. as safely as possible and what we have ended up doing is a rickshaw challenge that is as lockdown as it

the world health organization is monitoring the situation very possibly could be. we are at the closely, but says it is too early goodwood estate. we have pretty much to jump to conclusions. got the run of the place. the people whatever the risk from here have been absolutely superb and the new strain, the british they said make use of the estate in government is very keen any way you can. we have a course to stop it spreading here, that was all the way round the so it has imposed some very strict regulations at very short notice. no foreign visitors will be outside of the estate. goodwood is allowed in from denmark, with immediate effect. famous for its hill climb. that course is undulating to say the british nationals will be exempt, least. and this is where we are but they will have to isolate going to start our challenge. we with all other members of their families for two weeks. officials will also contact anyone have got the racecourse, and over there, and the idea is that first who has been in denmark in the last fortnight to make sure bit that i did ten years ago, i they do the same. cannot believe we have been doing this rickshaw challenge for ten yea rs, this rickshaw challenge for ten years, i went from edinburgh castle down to london. over 500 miles for so the danish authorities are obviously very concerned. their big me in that first year, but in homage fear is that vaccinations, when they come along, may not be so efficient to that we will do and as the crow flies journey, we have or effective against this new to that we will do and as the crow fliesjourney, we have worked out that if we do 32 miles, hopefully by strain. the british government also very concerned. their view is let's friday, looping round the circuit or stop the strain coming to the uk, going off around the estate, and stop the strain coming to the uk, stop it spreading in the uk, and they say glorious goodwood and i

then we will figure out how tell you what, it is absolutely dangerous it may or may not be. andy gorgeous today. and your moore for us at heathrow. all non—urgent operations have been cancelled at several major hospitals in greater manchester and birmingham because of an increase conversation about what is 17 in covid—19 patients. the trusts say they're having to divert resources away from procedures like hip celsius feel like? i can tell you it and knee replacements, but that cancer treatment and life—saving care is glorious here. it is not 17 were to remain a "priority". degrees yet. in the week, get to that, so you are going to have good weather. it will be a bit windy but in a small number of hospitals, you will have good weather. this is there will be a few patients who won't get the treatment that to be the hardest part, the motor they need as quickly as possible. circuit because it is so exposed, but obviously, what will happen is that those patients will be and with the rickshaw, i knew when i prioritised on the basis of clinical need. of course, hospitals will do all of the important emergency went from lincolnshire which was surgery but it means that, totally flat, but the wind was for example, people who might need really strong and it is like riding knees replaced or who might need hips replaced, they will take a bit a rickshaw up against a brick wall. longer than the hospital you don't get any freewheel down would ideally like, but if you have got your beds full of covid patients, there really when you're on a flat surface, so i is not much choice. think this will be our most challenging surface, but we will do here on breakfast, we've been what we can. the regulations that bringing you the story of paul harvey, the 80—year—old former music teacher living with dementia. you're working under, i can see this morning, we've pudsey touching the rickshaw. is he got another update.

allowed to get on it is that breaking some restrictions? what is the deal? but she gets involved, —— you probably remember this. pudsey, but from a covid security point of view we are all fully it's paul's collaboration with the bbc philharmonic orchestra tested. we started the first round on his viral single four notes. of covid testing then we get a second round today so until we get it has now entered the official charts at number 32 those results we are all being and was the most downloaded massively socially distance, here. track of the week. here's how paul reacted when he found out. i'm thrilled to bits because that that is the odd thing, i'll be means that all of that money honest. with team rickshaw it is that is coming to it can go such a close—knit team, and we have to these worthy causes, and thank you very much for everyone for doing it. generally been there for each other, you know, i really do appreciate it and when you are socially distance and i know nick does like this, in a situation like this, as well, so... i certainly do. you know, so... you're a pop star, dad! it is quite a daunting prospect. so well, i don't know about that, as i'm sitting here in my nightgown! it is quite a daunting prospect. so it has been quite a challenge that both chuckle. side of things, but hopefully when we get our second test results, we can relax, but we are maintaining social distancing. and we are in iam sure i am sure popstars have nightgowns!

lockdown, so in previous years, absolutely, why not? it is your own people have been out on the streets cheering you along, and you are not sense of style. congratulations. i encouraging them to do that this love his voice, his speaking voice. time. we are not open to the public there is something really mellow about his speaking voice as well. at all. it is as close as we very reassuring. 11 minutes past possibly could be. which is a shame seven. 0ur very reassuring. 11 minutes past seven. our main story is about, of because i'm excited for the visitors course, the race to the white house. to feel all that rap or from the roadside. thousands of people have joe biden is on the verge of becoming the next president come out at crazy o'clock in the of the united states after pushing ahead of donald trump in key states. morning, in their dressing gowns, counting is still under so, we are relying on those way in pennsylvania, donations like never before by text, georgia, nevada, arizona and north carolina. addressing america a few hours ago, mr biden said it was clear the nation was behind him. and the social media, trying to get that contact, there, and i will be on instagram throughout the whole we are going to win this race with a thing, on my instagram, trying to clear majority with the nation behind us. we have gotten over 74 bring people as close as we possibly can. it is just bring people as close as we possibly can. it isjust going to be a very million votes. let me repeat that, different feel this year, and we need to get that support through to 74 million votes. that's more than our youngsters, so any comments that any presidential ticket has ever you want to send, i will pass them straight on. you have got my word on gotten in the history of the united states of america. and our vote total is still growing. we are that. good luck, matt, to you and

pudsey. good luck with the second beating donald trump over 4 million votes. and that is a margin that he test. i know that you will do it because you are one of the most still growing as well. one of the determined people i have ever seen. things i am especially proud of his how well we have done across lovely to see you. thank you both. america. and we're going be the we will see you live on the one show first democrat to win in arizona in 24 years. first democrat to win in arizona in 24 yea rs. we first democrat to win in arizona in 24 years. we are going to be the on friday when hopefully we will have done it all by then. here is first crack to win georgia in 28 yea rs. how you can help children in need... first crack to win georgia in 28 years. —— democrat. and we rebuilt the blue wall in the middle of the country that crumbled just four yea rs country that crumbled just four years ago. pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. the heartland of this nation. i know watching these hotel is on tv moves very slowly and as slow as it goes, it can be numbing, but never forget the tallies are not just numbers, they represent votes and voters. men and women who exercised their fundamental right to have their voice heard. let's talk to some people who know very well what is going on, as best as anyone

does! white house correspondent christina wilkie and andy barr, a democratic speechwriter who has previously worked with joe biden. very good morning to both of you and i wonder if we can start with you, andy. the early hours of the morning, about quarter past four in in the next half hour we will meet the morning, but as we understand it it had been pushed back a couple of people getting through look down to a rather unique ways. headlines times. what is your understanding of coming up. what was going on behind the scenes? is it thatjoe biden was hoping that some more news might have fed in so he could have may be a slightly more, a clear message? what was going on? i think that's right, it has been pretty clear for i would say at least the last 24 hours that barring some kind of completely under the turn, joe biden is going to be the next president of the united states. the networks here have not called the race so he is wanting to not be presumptuous by declaring victory but at the same time, he has work to do to start healing the country and even though healing the country and even though he waited as long as he could to see

if the networks would make a call, i think it is the right thing to do for him, to get out and start talking to the people that he will be working for. christina, lots of our viewers will be waking up this morning, tuning in and thinking why is there not a result? we're looking good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. at the numbers and we can see and our headlines today... closing in on victory. eve ryo ne at the numbers and we can see and everyone is saying he is edging joe biden tells america towards the white house butjoe that he is on his way biden has not been declared to the white house. president—elect yet. what is the numbers tell us it is clear, happening? what is happening with they tell us a clear and convincing the television channels and the story. we are going to win this caution almost around this? the race. caution almost around this? the caution is in a nutshell that they, democrats have been celebrating in the street but there have been protests these decision desks which analyse from republicans with donald trump numbers and statistics, don't feel warning joe biden not to claim the presidency. we'll they fully understand how the vote have reaction and all of the latest from washington throughout the morning. ina pandemic all foreign visitors they fully understand how the vote from denmark have been banned in a pandemic falls, how these traditional lines between city and from entering the uk because of a strain of coronavirus that's spread rural or between elder voters and from the country's mink farms. younger or between male in ballots saints savour the moment specifically and election day after southampton ballots, are falling —— mail—in. we go top of the premier league, for the first time ever, know the traditional models but in by beating newcastle...

the last two days, the statisticians we'll hear from the d—day veteran and fundraising hero harry billinge as the nation have been unpleasa ntly the last two days, the statisticians prepares for a remembrance day have been unpleasantly surprised, especially in the state of arizona with a difference. for instance, in situations where they expected that a certain and for some of us percentage of the vote would go to this morning it is a little misty biden or to trump and they have been and foggy, but with a bit of luck there will be sunshine around shown wrong so there really is at this afternoon as well. this point for the networks no discernible benefit to being first and being wrong —— trump. so they it's saturday 7th are going to wait until, yeah, until the last moment. isn't it as simple november, our top story. in the past few hoursjoe biden has addressed the united states, as every vote needs to be counted and declared that he will win the race for the white house. and it is just as every vote needs to be counted and it isjust a as every vote needs to be counted and it is just a matter of waiting overnight, donald trump had for every single vote to be counted, warned his rival not because it is that close? to claim the presidency, and that legal proceedings were only just beginning. but speaking at his campaign headquarters it differs in each state in some in delaware, joe biden said he had ways because in some states have a clear and convincing lead in key biden ahead 30,000 votes and in states where the final ballots are being counted. other states i had 4000. once he let's remind begins to pull away by 20 and 30,000 ourselves how that race stands. votes and you have only 90,000 left mr biden has extended his lead over and they've been splitting half and president trump in pennsylvania and georgia but still needs 17 more half, the idea that donald trump would be able to come up with, if electoral college votes to reach

biden has a lead of 90000 and the 270 required to win. another 45 on top of that, 135,000, donald trump would get, pick up half our washington correspondent lebo diseko has the story of the night. of 90,000, he would have a 45,000 but you start to see there is no mathematical way, given how much is less to count, for him to possibly joe biden supporters danced catch up and that is when the through the day and into the night networks really have to make the in the city of philadelphia. tough call and we're expecting calls their candidate's lead in this state in the next 24 hours but until they is steadily growing and they can taste the victory. are certain, they are just not going to be wrong. just to pick up on some winning in pennsylvania would mean of the thoughts, because it is very joe biden becomes the president. important. as it stands now, with more than 95% of votes counted, no—one's in a position to say that he is inching his way there. the race is over and the language but with some votes still to come in, it may be some time before thatjoe biden uses now is careful, a result is declared. isn't it? because while he has we don't have a final declaration... momentum and there seems to be a on friday evening, joe biden clear pathway, it is very important addressed the nation. he stopped short of declaring victory but his tone and message — about how he is perceived at this moment in time, possiblyjust ahead deliberately presidential. of the transition period. yes, the numbers tell us it's clear — tell us a clear and convincing accounting isn't over but the campaign is. and one of the things story. we're going win this race. that folks here have responded to just look at what has

happened since yesterday. from joe biden during this campaign 24 hours, we were behind in georgia. has been we are been in the midst of now we're ahead and we're this pandemic now for eight months going to win that state. and a lot of the skills thatjoe biden has, empathy and a sense of 24 hours ago, we were behind in pennsylvania, and we are going decency, are things that donald to win pennsylvania. trump is notably missing. president on twitter, donald trump again expressed frustration of the states during this past week at seeing his election night lead when we have had such a spike in "miraculously disappear". cases has not said one word about the pandemic so i think that on top but it was the counting of postal votes that shifted the numbers so dramatically — a process of whatever political considerations donald trump had told his supporters they might be, joe biden is the not to trust. future president of this country, as results trickle in from other feels a responsibility to kind of battleground states, the picture building fill that void a little bit and be is not in his favour. that voice of empathy as that voice in both nevada and arizona, of decency and that person who seems joe biden's lead is increasing. calm and responsible. and christina, georgia's results are so close, an automatic recount was triggered given your connections both within the white house and of course injoe but it's unlikely that would change the result by more biden's camp, can you compare and than a few hundred votes. contrast the colour and the out of the approximately atmosphere or literally what they're 5 million votes cast, doing now? yes and i think andy we will have a margin makes exactly the right point. of a few thousand.

campaign is overand the focus for office makes exactly the right point. campaign is over and so is happening and for the county elections officials for now now as we have two realities remains on making sure that every legal vote is counted emerging. you have the theatrics of the candidate of donald trump on his tie rates and his tantrums, you have and recorded accurately. biden who understands the donald trump has filed legal action seriousness of this moment and is in several states in an effort not going to make the mistake of to turn his fortunes around, moving too hastily then you also and there's no evidence have the real—life of, in this of the widespread fraud that he alleges. house, white house staffers and the legal hurdles may people on biden's team orformer create a bumpy path, butjoe biden increasingly seems to be on firm footing on his road obama administration officials who see the writing on the wall and to the white house. white house staffers are polishing their resumes and thinking about what they are going to do next and some have already left this week and our washington correspondent on the biden side, you have them lebo disekojoins us now. practically househunting in washington. people are really good morning. early hours of the thinking forward. on a working morning this morning our time, joe level, everyone knows what's happening. on the higher level, biden made those comments and he presumably, like everyone else, there is still kabuki theatre. andy, donald trump as well, all eyes will be on those counts that are still in terms of behaviour and charlie alluded this in a previous question going on. tell us a little bit more about how they both approached this about the detail about what might

happen next. even joe biden was difficult time where it can't be called, who is advising these saying we need to be patient in that speech he made and that addressed to candidates? who is advising donald trump about how his behaviour is the nation. he has not declared going to be looked upon now? and how victory but he is being very presidential, addressing the nation in that way. over the next, we don't joe biden is of course dealing... i mean, isee joe biden is of course dealing... i mean, i see you laughing, and how joe biden is calling for some unity know quite how long really, and moving forward. he is in an pennsylvania is continuing to count. easier position in that sense.” they have around 86,000 ballots that don't think anyone's advising donald trump, at least not that's getting are in stilt account, and donald trump would need to win around 63% through to him. i can speak for former vice president biden, you of those in order to overtakejoe know, this is his third time running for president and he has been in biden at this point. the reason politics for a very long time and he eve ryo ne biden at this point. the reason everyone is looking at pennsylvania so hard is because those 20 has some close advisers who have been with him from the very electoral college votes that would beginning, his sister, people who worked with him in the 19705, but in pushjoe biden electoral college votes that would push joe biden over the electoral college votes that would pushjoe biden over the edge of that this campaign, he has really built a to 70 -- 270 very diverse group of senior staff pushjoe biden over the edge of that to 70 —— 270 mark and to the that represent a lot of different presidency. georgia is in the process of counting ballots at the moment. they have a automatic perspectives, different generations, different backgrounds, he has always recount that has been triggered, but

surrounded himself with a tremendous generally speaking recounts a don't policy team, some of the smartest actually yield very many more votes. policy experts in the business. so he has a large group of people who there were some in 2016 and are giving him different generally yields about a few perspectives, helping him to understand how the things that he is hundred. if anything, generally yields about a few hundred. ifanything, it generally yields about a few hundred. if anything, it is going to a saying of being perceived. as for slow the process down and unlikely the president, your guess is as good to turn things around very much. for as mine. if anyone's actually giving donald trump, he needs pennsylvania him advice, it doesn't seem to be if he wants to hang on to the getting through. christina, last presidency. it is very difficult to thought from you. can i get your see a path without that state for simple guide to what it is we look him at all. joe biden does have for next out of philadelphia? vote several other to get to that. . we count all through pennsylvania right now is hanging, as you mentioned earlier, hanging on this question of provisional ballots. we understand are all watching and waiting. thank you very much. that the votes, the regular votes foreign visitors arriving from denmark will be denied entry to the uk because of widespread coronavirus outbreaks on mink remaining to be called a breaking farms in the country. the decision was announced overnight by the british government and came 80- 90% in remaining to be called a breaking 80— 90% in biden's favour. he has a into effect this morning. 20,000 vote lead right now in our correspondent andy moore is at heathrow airport pennsylvania. but the question of for us this morning. andy — what's the latest? what these second rate, these are set aside divisional ballots are and well, there are four flights into

whether the state or different the uk from denmark today. one ferry counties are planned to count them and when they plan to do that is again part of the reason that the arriving in lancashire later on this call isn't being made in pennsylvania because it really is afternoon. the first flight arrived still a big black box and no—one has here in heathrow just afternoon. the first flight arrived here in heathrowjust over an hour ever quite done anything like this. ago. these are pretty tough restrictions, some of the toughest not the election officials, not the restrictions, some of the toughest restrictions imposed by the uk on networks. so until everyone has a any country since this pandemic began. i think you can bet that better understanding of what these passengers on that plane got some provisional ballots look like, we special attention from the border will then begin to know what the authorities this morning. with military precision, next two days look like. ok the cull of around 17 million mink christina, good to talk to you this in denmark has already begun. it's a sign of how seriously morning. krisjennerwith the danish government is taking christina, good to talk to you this morning. kris jenner with cnbc christina, good to talk to you this morning. krisjenner with cnbc and andy, good to have your inside as the threat from a new strain of coronavirus that's believed to have spread to around 200 humans. well —— christina with cnbc. good to the danish government regards this have your insight. as a very concerning development here's tomasz with a look and we are treating it at this morning's weather. good morning to you guys. the with the utmost seriousness. we're taking all necessary weather this morning is a little and appropriate actions, including the culling misty and murky in places, for sure, quite thick fog in one or two areas of all remaining mink in denmark. but the sun should come out we have indications that this unique eventually. also some rain on the

mutation have a reduced response way but that won't arrive until to antibodies which can ultimately tomorrow for wc the rain bearing affect the efficiency of potential vaccines. clouds on the satellite picture, this is a load—bearing picture. —— the world health organization is monitoring the situation very won't arrive until tomorrow. the closely but says it's too early rain bearing clouds on the satellite to jump to conclusions. picture. today we have plenty of whatever the risk from the new strain, the british government is very keen to stop it right weather on the way. this low spreading here so has imposed some very strict regulations pressure's actually pushing quite mild air in our direction, mild for at very short notice. this time of the year and as you can see, keeping the cold air at a to no foreign visitors will be allowed in from denmark the north. this is what it looks with immediate effect. like this morning, patches of mist british nationals will be exempt, but they will have to isolate and fog here and there. it will with all other members of their families for two weeks. officials will also contact anyone eventually melt away. one or two who's been in denmark in the last places will linger and hold onto the fortnight to make sure fog for much of the morning and into the afternoon had plenty of sun on the afternoon had plenty of sun on the way. look at that commerce the they do the same. north—west of england, northern ireland, a lot of the fine weather around today. temperatures a little the real fear here above average in the south of the the realfear here is the real fear here is that this new country. 13 in hull, single figures strain might be resistant to vaccines, that is why the danish

of the speed we are going out. so we've had such a long period of time isolated there is a bit of a i guess russian on our own with our families and stuck with our households. roulette about that. you're pretty puzzles just allow me to sort of forget that almost. much hanging on for life all of the time. making up the british taking myself away from the stresses of the news. it's actually a lot of young people, contingent will be alex thomson, third second and last two vendee who really are joining this globe, hoping to go one better. the community and just enjoying thing about vendee globe is men and yourselves and that's really positive, it helps you get women compete on equal terms and there is not a sport like that out through these times. there is not a sport like that out there and that in itself is do we all need to learn to reconnect incredible. we have equal chance of with our inner child? yes, definitely! bringing home the prizes. due to but of course, physical isolation doesn't have to mean social isolation. coronavirus there will be no crowds 50 neighbours in bristol for waving them off on the west coast of france as they prepare for came togetherfor this. the home version of lockdown, albeit at some time in the summer, i think it was around aboutjune, isolating for over 24,000 miles. ben said, "why don't we have chickens in the garden?" and lots of us said, oh, yes! it's called cluckingham palace! the thing that really got me about so, here's our communal garden. that was the sleep in your club for cluckingham palace was built for 12 30 minutes on the beanbag. and keep rescued battery hens. and now they're cared waking up every 30 minutes to make for by neighbours on

pumpkin curry with then a cardamom and black pepper custard desert. and in charge of drinks, hels?” and black pepper custard desert. and in charge of drinks, hels? i have coffee now but i am bringing all the while later and some cider. so looking forward to that. -- all of the wind. you can decide what gaby eats, details are on the website. see you at ten. see you next week with the ukulele. it is happening. thank you. a deal was done. you heard us! i have sort of burst the bubble with southampton fans but their time at the top of the league might not last too long. that is if everton beat man united. southampton

have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with this season. a 2—0 win at home to newcastle took them above liverpool on goal difference — a che adams volley set them on their way before stuart armstrong made the most of more sloppy newcastle defending. the scottish premiership leaders rangers play tomorrow, as do celtic, who've been joined on points by aberdeen. the dons scored twice in the first 12 minutes, against hibs, albeit helped by a dreadful attempt at a clearance, which gave sam cosgrove the chance to score his first goal since february. a 2—0 win took them above their opponents in the table, going into the international break. hold onto your seats, we are going out onto the high seas. sailing's ultimate test begins off the west coast of france tomorrow with 33 competitors, racing solo non—stop around the world. four of the sailors are british and for the first time three of them are women. sam davis is entering her third vendee globe. she was last british woman to be involved, in 2013, miranda merron, from hampshire, is making herfirst attempt.

and so too is poole's pip hare, who's been aiming for this for 30 years. theyjoin race veteran alex thomson in his fifth solo race. he was second last time. they'll spend over two and a half months at sea on their own, tackling the roughest seas around south africa, into the notorious southern ocean, before hopefully picking up speed in the so called roaring 40 winds past australia, through the south pacific, before returning around the tip of south america. before the sailors left the uk, a month ago, ijoined one of the boats off the coast of dorset. this is most people's idea of hell — small, cramped, dark space, at the mercy of monstrous waves, alone, miles from home, for months on end. when things go wrong, you risk everything just to survive. this is what lies ahead then for 33

sailors in the vendee globe. but as terrifying as this seems, it's a lifelong dream for those who've spent decades trying to get this chance to follow in the wake of dame ellen macarthur, who still holds the women's vendee globe record from 20 years ago. we are going on board to meet one of those who could break ellen macarthur‘s long—standing record, pip hare. we are coming on board, pip! pip is part of a new dawn forfemale sailors — it's the first time ever there will be more british women in the race than men. only 87 people in the whole world have ever finished it and only six of those were women, so more men have walked on the moon than women have finished the vendee globe race. so to be a british woman entered in the race now is just — you know, i feel like i have won already! ellen set a benchmark for female entries in the race which was 94 days, four hours and 25 minutes,

and so for me to be able to try and and beat that time would be an incredible achievement. here we go, right to the top. when the race starts, pip won't have my help — not that she needs it! — having spent a decade learning how to sail solo and raising the necessary £500,000 through crowdfunding and local sponsorship. picking up speed... that's why the boat is tilting like that, is it, because it caught the wind? yeah, exactly, yeah. and you've caught the edge — that's why this spot is so adrenaline—pumping, because you are on the edge, you're finding the finest angle. i am so looking forward to this race and i know there will be minutes where i am terrified and i'm frightened and i'm fed up and i'm cold and i'm wet but for the most part, ijust — i just want to do this. they may be alone, but they do have the latest technology available, including autopilot. while i'm working, sleeping, navigating, the autopilot is driving. yeah. and i sleep on a beanbag. what?! there we go.

you just drag it out like that? yep. how will you sleep? well, i like to sleep sitting up and i'm always fully kitted up because i sleep for 30 minutes at a time. yeah. and if anything goes wrong, i've just have to leap out and be ready. while it is a first vendee globe for pip and fellow british debutante miranda merron, it's a third attempt for samantha davis who came fourth in 2009. and with boats now riding on foils and going at greater speed, there can be more risk. now that those things are floating in the water, we're going faster so impacts create more damage because of the speed we are going at. so there is a bit of a, i guess, russian roulette about that. you're pretty much hanging on for dear life all of the time. making up the british contingent will be alex thomson, third, second in last two vendee globes, and he'll hoping to go one better.

the thing about the vendee globe is men and women compete on equal terms and there is not a sport like that out there and that in itself is incredible. we have an equal chance of bringing home the prizes. due to coronavirus, there will be no crowds to wave them off on the west coast of france as they prepare for their own version of lockdown — albeit isolating for over 24,000 miles. a mind—boggling feed. they set off tomorrow from france, they are backed by the 11th of february one of those women will have broken ellen macarthur‘s record depending on the time of day. imagine being out at sea all through christmas, january, all that time. and dealing with the psychological and physical stresses of that journey.

with the psychological and physical stresses of thatjourney. i struggled with a lack of sleep, but after a few days of that... you have what they call the sleep demons, you start hallucinating. they've got to concentrate so hard on working on the mental side. i said what would you do for christmas? sailing. i don't think that was a silly question. they can see the families and drew back on shore via video conferencing. so it isjust and drew back on shore via video conferencing. so it is just another day. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. how is it looking? looking pretty good for most today. a bit of mist and fog around. that may linger into the late morning, perhaps early afternoon in one or two areas, but on the whole, looking fine. mild, also, but tomorrow we have rain on the way. on the satellite picture

you can see where the rain is coming from. it is still the south—west, here is the cloud associated with that low. it will rain once this cloud is over us. i had of it, the skies are clear so a bit of a window, a gap, in the weatherfor the time being today. also with this low pressure is this current of milderaircoming low pressure is this current of milder air coming from the south, pushing that mild are northwards and keeping the cold air at bay in the north atlantic. through this morning into this afternoon, lots of clear weather but in places there could be some stubborn spots are lingering but for the vast majority of us, a decent afternoon. it does look as though we are going to see some thicker cloud and the possibility of a little bit of light rain in the south—west of the country, but really, just a few of us, for the vast majority, a nice, sunny day. temperatures, 16 in london, above average for the time of year, and colder in the lowlands of scotland at around eight celsius. tonight, with clear skies it will turn chilly

very quickly in scotland, with perhaps a touch of frost early in the night. also, the mist and fog returning to the east, then we see that rain approaching south—western parts of the uk. it coincides with this yellow, whether mild air is coming in from the south. here is the weather map for sunday. we have a weather front moving northwards across the uk. this cold front is slicing the uk in half. as it moves northwards, it will keep outbreaks of rain mostly across western parts. further east, it is going to be mostly cloudy with occasional spits of rain and even in the south, the afternoon it looks as though clouds are going to break up a little. 16 degrees possible for places like cardiff and london, and double figures into scotland. the outlook for next week, across a part of the world, you can see those wins coming from the south—west, keeping things mild, and weather fronts out in the

atla ntic to mild, and weather fronts out in the atlantic to come our way. so, it is not going to be sunny, sunny, it will be cloudy at times with rain here and there, but certainly keeping things mild. towards the end of the week, beyond that saturday period things will turn windy with perhaps gales, but that is a long way off. until then, perhaps gales, but that is a long way off. untilthen, mild perhaps gales, but that is a long way off. until then, mild weather, not too bad, enjoy today, we have got the sunshine. tomorrow it's going to be cloudy with some rain, d. enjoy it while you can. that's the message, thank you. scaled back and cancelled remembrance day events mean many servicemen and women will pay tribute to theirformer comrades from home this year. among them will be d—day veteran harry billinge, who, as well as paying his respects in the traditional way, has released a special remembrance single with singer aled jones. breakfast‘s tim muffett has been catching up with him. remembering those who never returned — harry billinge has been doing just that for the past 75 years. but even in his remarkable life,

2020 has been a year like no other. hi, harry. good to see you. how are you? i'm very well, thank you tim. very well. it's been a tough yearfor all of us. how have you been keeping? i have been very, very comfortable. i've been sitting out by the radiator and had the electric fire on all day. i've been overwhelmed with letters from all over the world. my wife has been very good too. we have been married 66 years. i don't know what i would do without her. remembrance sunday is going to be be very different this year, isn't it? we can't go to the events we'd like to go to. how are you going to be marking it? well, i remember every day — you know that, tim — i remember every day. and i can be up the cenotaph or over in normandy on that particular day because my mind is free. i go where i want to be. i have not been out of the house

even twice since last march. and on remembrance day on the 11th, on wednesday, you have got a very special plan, haven't you? i am supposed to be taking a wreath from penzance and every station from cornwall to paddington. on my train — it is named after me — but i put it in the guards bag —— van, and this is the one that i'm putting on the train. can you see that? and then take it up to paddington station and lay it on the memorial on platform one, paddington. love is stronger than death. to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. following in the footsteps of captain tom and michael ball, harry has also recorded a new song with aled jones.

# let there be peace on earth # and let's begin with me now, tell us about this single with aled jones — how did that come about? that was a broadcast i did with him on songs of praise in bayeux cemetery on d—day lastjune. they all gave their lives for the cause. love is the strongest thing. i thought it was wonderful. # lets me walk with my brothers he loves me, he said, and i said to him "i love you too, aled". and he said "i'll never forget that". harry, so great to speak to you and lots of love from everyone at the bbc. god bless you too, tim.

i think everybody that's lost anybody on d—day or in the desert or injapan will remember them. # let it begin with me.# ever since we first met harry in caen commemorating the d—day landings, his message has always been so clear, humble and lovely. he has got quite a direct way of speaking, in his own way. he has, absolutely. and we're joined now by aled jones. tim, talking to harry, he's a very inspirational man, isn't he?” tim, talking to harry, he's a very inspirational man, isn't he? i love him. you are clearly right. he has

such a direct way of speaking, and such a direct way of speaking, and such passion. to spend the day with harry as paradise on earth. he's a wonderful man with a fantastic sense of humour. and it touches the soul. he spends his whole life remembering. he's a very special man, he really is. tell us about your relationship with harry. we see your relationship with harry. we see you walking together and chatting. hejust you walking together and chatting. he just says it as it is, doesn't he? completely. i love that about him. you get to a certain age and you think, yes, i can. like your other gentlemen early on, the 98—year—old, he can say whatever he likes. with harry, it is of course a very serious matter. we were on the beachin very serious matter. we were on the beach in normandy, but he was also a lot of fun. he's a great guy with a fantastic heart, i would say, and a little sparkle in those eyes as well. what he went through on that day was horrific. i so admire him for what he has done over the years.

he hasn't given up. he wants that memorial there. you to remember, and i think that's brilliant. how did he react when you suggested he collaborate with you on a song? it was going to go one of two ways. yes, and thankfully he said yes! all the people who have collaborated with my album on lockdown because they had nothing else to do! harry was the first one that i asked. he is everything that is good about belief, if you like, he has a faith and it is a real, living one. he is and it is a real, living one. he is a special guy. tell us about the connection with dame judi a special guy. tell us about the connection with damejudi dench. anytime that you can wheel on, and i mean that in an affectionate way, into some kind of enterprise, that isa into some kind of enterprise, that is a good thing. yes, judi and i have known each other 25 years, we we re have known each other 25 years, we were involved in a charity called the story of christmas and i wanted her to recite the first verse of

this quaker song because it is for all faiths and none, it should resonate in this time. ifjudi dench could read up a telephone directory, it would sound great. so having her read this really emotive poem, it is a dream come true. she is someone with a glint in the eye, let me tell you. different faiths are being addressed and nodded to, as well.” never thought that we would be able to combine a muslim song with a contemporary christian him, but we found that it was the same chords. it makes the hairs on the back of your neck shoot out. and having sami on the album was a dream come true. going back to that short, we had a shot of you singing on the beach.

that is the video for part of the album. i know that you are a singer and you do it professionally, but to be asked to park your feet on the sand and belt out a song, does it ever feel a little bit sand and belt out a song, does it everfeel a little bit odd, or is that normal? i wish you had been there. it was freezing cold, the tide was coming in, behind the camera there were 120 people who had been sunbathing there all day. that was filmed in north wales not far from where a certain programme is going to be on with the celebrities, and even when it was sunny, it was cold. does that have an impact on the voice? when you are doing that you are miming. you do the singing and the studio. there wasn't the time during this lockdown period when i didn't know if i would sing again but thankfully i managed to get into the studio. it was such a release, such a pleasurable thing to do, to sing once again. good to talk to you. everyone we talk to is

pleased to be working and doing what they love. thank you for coming on. take care of yourself. thank you. aled's album is called blessings and on sunday at 1.15pm on bbc one he will present "songs of praise: remembrance" and you can hear a version of his song with harry billinge on there. the time is 9:52am. television dramas often try to reflect reality, and when holby city returns to our screens this week, it will see the fictional hospital struggle to deal with the pressures of the coronavirus pandemic. the medical series will dramatise the real—life challenges frontline staff faced with things like a lack of protective equipment. and of course programme makers had their own challenges, filming within covid restrictions. we'll chat to two of the cast in just a moment, but first let's take a look. sirens i think this week's going to be worse, isn't it? yeah. your kids must be so proud of you.

pots banging, applause what on earth is that? clapping. for who? for you. for all of you. cheering and clapping intensifies cheering, clapping and car horns takes ta kes you takes you back, doesn't it? actors jo martin and

jaye jacobs join us now. good morning to you both. morning! let's start with you, jaye, the thing about soap operas, long running series, there's the debate. do you watch them to escape, or do they really need to bring you back down to earth? how did that conversation go when you were told about the direction the programme was taking? yes, we do watch them to escape, but you also have to reflect reality. you can't have a hospital drama, we could never have come back without doing covid. it would have been so weird. so i was hoping that we we re been so weird. so i was hoping that we were going to go this way. we had discussions for quite a while. it meant dumping loads of scripts. but i think it was well worth going down this road. we had to reflect what was going on. sorry for interrupting, it almost made the job

easier, because social distancing, we have heard in tv production is about how they are having to social distance with trickery, you didn't have to do that. there still had to be trickery, you know what i mean? we have that two me to a stick and that rules onset! —— this two metre stick. we are having to be even more creative. we don't have the huge hollywood budgets, so we always have to work hard at being creative to achieve what we are reaching for but with the new covid restrictions, my goodness. we are pulling some stu nts! goodness. we are pulling some stunts! jaye, you play ward sister dana jackson, there's lots of trouble going into making things seem authentic and i cannot think of a time when it is more important to

get it right, so that people are not saying though that wouldn't have happened, that didn't happen. we always struggle with that, trying to get things right and trying to adjust to that and it has never been more important. we are going out next week when we are just going into a second lockdown. itjust felt huge. and i am ward sister, so i felt like i had to represent all of the nurses. there are two of us in the nurses. there are two of us in the show at the time when we were shooting that so there's a lot of responsibility. and you, so many people have a link to the nhs, one way or the other, a friend, someone who works for them. have you any direct links yourselves, maybe?” have got friends who are nurses, mainly in a&e, i talk to them regularly. they live quite close to

me. it was almost like i was saying i don't know how you are doing it, going to work and coping. there is an amazing kind of nurse spirit that i don't have. you just keep going, because this is what we do. and just tuning into that. that is what i was trying to use. tough, really tough. jo, trying to use. tough, really tough. jo, when it comes to the cast, a whole new era, new world, new paradigms, but you have got a cast member leaving. yes, it is too sad. icame on member leaving. yes, it is too sad. i came on holby so excited to work with hugh. it is heartbreaking. he is holby, but holby goes on, the story gets bigger and new characters are coming on. we have eight new

characters who have joined are coming on. we have eight new characters who havejoined holby, could be more. jaye, i'm curious, the new series isjust could be more. jaye, i'm curious, the new series is just starting but given that covid is, there are so many issues around that and peoples health care, the programmes are going to end up having to reflect that, really. that has been a lot of discussion, about that, and what we are doing, and we deal with it in this coming episode really well. there's a lot about, having the right ppe, some of it was out of date and all of that and we had a responsibility to retell that story because we knew at that point what had happened, but you still don't know how they are going to write it, and we are changing things every week. we are reshooting things, because it has changed. sorry to

interrupt. lovely talking to you both. lots of people very much looking forward to next week when holby returning. holby city returns to our screens next tuesday evening, at 8:15pm on bbc one. that's all from us this morning. breakfast will be back tomorrow at 6am, but until then, goodbye and have a lovely saturday.
