6:13 am
you're going to be clear and eastwards with a fair bit of of the virus and safe. cloud around. after a chilly start and that is exactly why the ppe tonight, temperatures will go up. and the masks are still essential, these are likely to be the lowest even with that negative result? absolutely, at the moment, yes. values we see as this rain moves across the far north of the country. by across the far north of the country. by the end of the night temperatures it is baby steps, because nobody will be closer to 11, 12. the second wants the virus to go into care homes again. front were coming from the nobody does. and i think we've got to think north—west. looking at the isobars, about people's fears and anxieties, it will be a blustery day. a fair because people will still fear people starting to come back bit of cloud some sunshine, patchy into the homes, you know. like rain or drizzle, especially for those homes not included, the wait has been unbearable. from the west. top temperatures for those lucky few, tomorrow, quite healthy for the time it is the first tentative step towards the normality they have of year, up to about 15. thank you. been longing for. we will see you throughout the the slight worry about holding hands is she always likes to do morning. it's now been eight months since an arm wrestle as well, care homes first shut their doors, to show how strong she is leaving thousands of residents show me how strong her grip is, unable to see their loved ones. but a new pilot, launching this morning, could change that. so that's the one thing i'm 20 care homes in england will be slightly worried about. able to offer regular testing to family members from today, there's going to be tears. in the hope more will be able oh, i think there'll to reopen their doors be lots of tears. to visitors by christmas, there will be a huge
6:14 am
as jayne mccubbin now reports. these are the images that have amount of tears. marked a long eight months but they'll be good tears, of isolation and separation for so many, but this morning, and not the sad tears that we've had a lot of. a very small number of care homes will finally open their doors, with regular testing for relatives. speaking on breakfast in the last hour the health secretary matt hancock said the governments aim is to make sure testing is available we're going to have 675 for all care homes by christmas. swabs, which is a very high number of swabs. i'm up for it. you're raring to go? of course i understand how important this is and, yes, our goal is to i am ready to go, yes. ensure that we have the testing here's our lovely bunch. available in every care home by christmas to make sure that people wave, everybody! can then take a test and therefore, this is meadway in winchester. see their loved ones safely. the best home north of the south pole. that is the goal. and one of the luckiest, because it's one of only 20 homes taking part in this pilot, and residents likejohn are excited. we are working closely with the i've got so many friends, social care sector to try to make that happen. as you say, we have and i can't, at the moment, really care from them, ruled that out in a number of parts apart from on the telephone. of the country, devon and cornwall in the first instance, then our goal is to have this by christmas so yeah. i've got two lovely daughters as well. you're going to be able to have people can see and be close to their
6:15 am
visits with your daughters, loved ones by christmas. and you're going to be able to give them a hug and hold their hand let's get more on this now, we're joined by judy downey for the first time in eight months. from the relatives and residents association. good morning to you. i'm not sure if you are able to hear matt hancock there saying he was hoping to roll hugs? i'm not sure. am i going to be able to hug them? this all care homes by christmas in england. what is your reaction to that's what i've been longing to do since christmas. yeah. that? for christmas, for some people 0h, it'll be marvellous. it's made possible through the use of lateral flow tests, the kind of tests being used it will be nine months. some care in liverpool's mass screening right now. home shutdown in february. am afraid that for a lot of people it is too little too late. a lot of people up to two relatives or friends can have regular tests to facilitate the kind of visit that hasn't been will have died but also remember possible since early march. do you remember that visit? there are different ways of dying. a i do, yes. lot of people in care homes have i had afternoon tea fluctuating dementia, they have with my friend in my room. already forgotten, lost total it was lovely. how much have you missed that? contact, with their children, their oh, yes, indeed. there's nothing like the one—to—one contact. yes, the hug gives you something, partners, their friends and we still doesn't it, the hug? yes. think it's pathetic. 20 homes in yes, i miss that dreadfully, but we just can't wait.
6:16 am
just can't wait. this was the first time simon this pilot, that is less than 1%. in saw his 98—year—old mum marjorie after lockdown mk i. fa ct, this pilot, that is less than 1%. in fact, it is a fifth of 1%. these are people, not experiments. in ireland, they have been allowing close that was just a hoot. relatives, they have been very i mean, she wasjust careful, they test the staff i think in such great form. it is twice a day, actually, and you look very well, i'm very happy. since then, visits have been restricted to video they are understanding that as the conference calls, or at a distance in the garden. today, that all changes. i think the advantage of monday, if it all comes off, is it opens up all possibilities. canadian legislation says, you are not just a visitor, when i see mum, i can talk with her, canadian legislation says, you are notjust a visitor, you are an intrinsic part of this person's life i can hug her, i can hold her. it'sjust going to be great. and you have gone missing. for a lot of people in care homes who don't but all of this will have to be in full ppe. remember who is alive and who is dead, you are dead. let's be real masks and gloves are still essential, and will still be a barrier about this. as we saw in jane's to communication. it's very hard for these new tests piece, extremely difficult times for to perform very well. people in care homes and their they're very simple technologies. relatives as well. just to go back they're not going to be to what matt hancock said. we know
6:17 am
able to detect virus like the pcr test does. there is a pilot, he is hoping to they give you a very roll this out by christmas, do you immediate assessment of whether you have a lot of virus think that can be done for all care right now, but it doesn't mean you're going to be clear homes? well, i don't want to sound of the virus and safe. and that is exactly why the ppe pessimistic but we have had lots of goals and lots of targets and most and the masks are still essential, of them are being missed. some care even with that negative result? absolutely, at the moment, yes. homes still haven't got the ppe and testing they need. let's really make it is baby steps, because nobody this a priority and the government wants the virus to go into care homes again. has said that they follow the nobody does. and i think we've got to think science, we would like to see the about people's fears and anxieties, evidence that any relative has ever because people will still fear brought the virus into the care people starting to come back into the homes, you know. homes. when you think the relative cell, they are generally the partners or the children of people for those homes not included, the wait has been unbearable. in the 80s, 90s and hundreds. they for those lucky few, it is the first tentative step are not people who have been going towards the normality they have to work and mixing with other been longing for. people. i know that when i had the slight worry about holding hands relatives in a care home, you didn't is she always likes to do dare approach even if you had the an arm wrestle as well, beginnings of a sniffle. you know to show how strong she is this was a vulnerable population,
6:18 am
show me how strong her grip is, so that's the one thing i'm slightly worried about. why aren't we more sensible and there's going to be tears. balanced about this? briefly, for oh, i think there'll be lots of tears. those who do get contact with their there will be a huge amount of tears. loved ones, how much difference can but they'll be good tears, and not the sad tears it make? all the difference in the world. some people use to go in that we've had a lot of. every day to help bath of these they are good tears, and the's? people. people sometimes are just turning theirfaces to people. people sometimes are just turning their faces to the wall, refusing food and drink, stopping they are good tears, and we will be looking at that issue throughout the reacting, refusing medication. we programme this morning. let's take a look at today's papers. are helping people to die. people the telegraph says the prime minister's plans should be in their last weeks and for a "reset" of number ten have months of life and living and making been thrown into "disarray" after being told the most of it. at the moment, we he must self—isolate. the paper says downing street's covid—secure measures are also under scrutiny. are not helping them to do that. the times leads with the suggestion judy are not helping them to do that. judy downey, chair of the relatives that the chancellor rishi sunak is considering plans to charge association, thank you. this time of motorists for using britain's roads amid concerns over a £40 billion shortfall created by the switch to electric cars. year, many companies aren't normally taking on seasonal and temporary workers with christmas around the "he will be up there in heaven

you know, it's not much of an effort 12—year—old who has landed his own just to let somebody know. and then you think, hang on, you have probably got about 10,000 cooking series, he will show lots of viewers how to make lots of people that theyjust need different things including a banana to let know. it can't be easy for them brea kfast different things including a banana breakfast shake. sounds perfect for either, to be honest. us. breakfast shake. sounds perfect for us. a plum and blackberry crumble as i live separately from my partner and the children well. his favourite chef is gordon so then i feel like... ramsay, who wants to be as accomplished at him but he wants to you almost feel like be himself. he works really hard and you are failing them. you sort of get into is good in the kitchen. lewis a mindset where you think — can i be bothered applying for these extra jobs? is it worth it? i'm not going to hear anything anyway. hamilton celebrating seven world and then it is so easy to fall titles. did you watch any of the into a rut where you feel golf? no. iwas like you just can't be bothered and you really have to try and pick yourself up, try and take your mind off it, titles. did you watch any of the golf? no. i was watching the crown. 0urfloor manager tracey golf? no. i was watching the crown. 0ur floor manager tracey watched the golf. we are talking to two stars dust yourself down and go again. from the crown. the reason i mention keeping everything crossed for shane in the run—up to christmas. so what can shane and others the golf is because dustinjohnson like him do to stand out? won, roll number one, won the kate mccarthy—booth is a recruitment

expert and joins me masters, but there was a brilliant from warrington now. moment when tiger woods on the 12th good morning to you. what we're hearing day after day from people hole at augusta, a short hole, par for work is that they are not even hearing back on the application three, put it in the water three process. what can people do to stand times, and took a ten. but for all out at that point? i think it is really difficult. contacting networks are using social media is his achievements, this is the measure of tiger woods. six holes useful. i recommend a video to try left in the masters, most golfers would think, 0k, i've finished, to stand out and be different but that's it, no chance of winning, he there is a lot of volume in was five under par for those last applications in some places and six holes. that is a great lesson to listening to shane's story it is anybody... i am quite good at tens. increasingly frustrating that businesses don't realise that those but you did when the golf day as people applying are also customers and don't work with either well. django, this lady here is a recruiters or using technology to designer ofjenga. it has just gone communicate with these people because it is demoralising. standing out is all about making yourself into the us toy hall of fame, which as we had to get into. monopoly is look different and really looking like you are passionate and you want in there, dominoes, chess, marbles, a role. talking to a candidate only she is in there now. and i never knew this about jenga, she is in there now. and i never knew this aboutjenga, is a niche yesterday that had gone and done some voluntary work in a sector she
6:22 am
jenga fact, all the blocks injenga wa nted some voluntary work in a sector she wanted to work in and she has now been successful, so there are other are different facts. this is the options to make yourself stand out but it is not easy. it is not easy. heart of the game. because if they are all the same size, you would not be able to pull them out. so they some positive, tesco, royal mail, are slightly random sizes, which is amazon are taking on at the moment. why you can find one that does not people might look at the jobs quite fit and push your finger available and think they don't match through. initially, she struggled to sell it. she insisted it was called their skill set but that doesn't necessarily matter, does it?” their skill set but that doesn't necessarily matter, does it? ithink jenga, which is swahili for to in retail, and there are others build. eventually a canadian company taking on, marks and spencers have a took it up, tried to get her to campaign starting, it is late, so i change the name but she insisted it don't think it is that it isn't had to be jenga, going to happen but there is change the name but she insisted it had to bejenga, and she has now sold over 100 million copies around the world. that is enough to build a uncertainty that stores will open. jenga carrot to the top of everest retailers don't want to promise a role that they can't then offer if 2000 times. i have started teaching the store doesn't open. it is going to bea the store doesn't open. it is going to be a bit ofa the store doesn't open. it is going to be a bit of a panic all of a sudden to on—board a lot of people the kidsjenga, but i'm surprise and get stores ready for christmas opening because we still don't know that each one is a different size. if they are going to be opening or not and that is a major issue. as not each one, they are random sizes, she does not say exactly how, but power skills are concerned, if you the genius of it is, if all the are great at talking and blocks are identical, you would not be able to push them out. it does communicating, a great personality
6:23 am
make sense. you can dazzle your and you want to work hard and be friends with that when you play and flexible, that's all you need. there a beer garden. believe it or not, i are so many flexible, that's all you need. there are so many people who have that ethic and skill base that can go and get a temporary role. what would your advice be if somebody does know you are in denial about this, manage to secure temporary work to christmas is just around the corner. try to make it permanent? that is we are officially on the countdown, what people want at the moment.” think that is about how you are when and for shops, restaurants and bars, this is normally overly busy time. you are in the, working hard, they would usually cope with the showing an interest in standing out demand by taking on temporary staff, if you are lucky and get that generating seasonal employment. temporaryjob. i if you are lucky and get that temporary job. i think if you are lucky and get that temporaryjob. i think it is also for a lot of people creating an income, not necessarily long term, andi income, not necessarily long term, and i don't think people should worry about that. people worry about but as we know, thousands of businesses are closed at the moment. having a temporary role on their cv it's notjust the faces you see but to me looks like you have gone in store or serving tables — out and made an effort. you have got warehouse staff, it workers, data experts — there are big ripples. a role in a very difficult year and according to the job site adzuna, it doesn't matter if that is not there are currentlyjust under 14,000 christmasjobs your career, not something you want on offer across the uk. this time last year, there were more to do forever because these are than 20,000 vacancies. temporary roles. some will become totaljobs told breakfast the jobs market was basically flat when it permanent which has always been a

had been waiting for — last week it was announced that a coronavirus vaccine — developed hello. by pharmaceutical firm pfizer — this is breakfast with dan walker could be in use by the end of the year. and louise minchin. but experts are warning that many types of vaccine will be needed it's 06:30am. to end the pandemic. two major trials are already underway in the uk, with another one set to start today. dr mary ramsay is the head we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, of immunisation for public health england. but also on breakfast this morning, the bushtucker trials are back, but the sunbathing is most definitely not, largejob ahead as "i'm a celebrity" large job ahead of you i returned last night largejob ahead of you i imagine. thank you forjoining us. we need to from its new home in a welsh castle. know about safety first but when do we'll be asking "king of thejungle" you think you can start with the harry redknap what he made of it first set of immunisations? the nhs all. we'll celebrate the life of the "ultimate entertainer," des o'connor, with his has already got plans to start this former countdown co—star carol vorderman. year but it will depend on having and we'll be joined by actors the vaccine supply and we are not emma corrin and josh o'connor, entirely sure when that is going to arrive. it will depend on safety who play charles and diana checks done and the approval process through the independent regular. we in the latest series of "the crown." know there is a list of priorities, have you decided on the list, right here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. now? yes, the joint committee on a major trial of another coronavirus vaccine will get
6:32 am
underway across the uk this week. vaccination and immunisation has decided who would be greatest pharmaceutical company janssen is priority and that starts with the looking to recruit 6,000 volunteers elderly and people in care homes but for the study. it comes a week after results showed obviously, if something comes up, another vaccine could prevent 90% of people getting covid—19. the vaccine works differently in different age groups, that may need so, lots to talk about to be modified but at the moment, based on first principles, we start with gp dr nighat arif. with the oldest and most vulnerable in the population. ok. just give us good morning to you. lovely to see it. making the headlines this an idea of how many people you think morning, that fact the prime you can vaccinated in the first minister has to self—isolate. we month, for example? well, i'm sorry! know he has had coronavirus but these are the rules, aren't they? we you are back, you are back! it need to follow the rules. if you come into contact with someone who depends on how much vaccine you have got, that is the biggest restraint is positive with coronavirus symptoms and while you are waiting but the nhs is used to delivering for a swab to come back that you large numbers of vaccine, the flue need to self—isolate. self isolation programme is about 15 million people, vaccines delivered most of is the right way and he is following it in people, vaccines delivered most of itina people, vaccines delivered most of it in a couple of months. so they the rules, which is fantastic. there can liver very fast but we need to is so much we do not know about have the vaccine and the first vaccine, the pfizer vaccine in coronavirus, including whether or not you can get it again. exactly. particular is quite challenging
6:33 am
because it has to be stored at —80 we do not know when it mutates and degrees and then transported round. there will be a balance between, how long do antibodies last. we know obviously we don't want to waste vaccine because this is precious you can get an antibody test but stock and also, to get the vaccine actually research still is not... we to the people where they need it. we are putting plans in place that will do not have enough data to say how really allow us to try and do the long it lasts in our system, so we programme as soon as really allow us to try and do the programme as soon as the vaccine have to follow the rules at the arrives, we are ready. on the fridge minute. if you come into contact with someone who is positive, then space, is it gps would have to store it or how do you think it would self—isolate for ten to 14 days. work? for the first vaccine, the last week we heard about the new pfizer vaccine, it will have to be vaccine and there is another one stored in hubs in each region and beginning clinical trials, the then delivered to the gps because janssen one. when you hear about once it is out of the freezer it probably is only really usable for a clinical trials, what is your few days so we will have hubs around reaction? positive. christmas is coming up and it will not be the the country storing it, some in same as normal. having something in hospitals where they have very low freezers but also some, maybe the distance to say there is a potential that we will get rid of coronavirus. a lot of vaccines for wholesalers, in particular parts of the country so they can deliver it things like measles and rubella, to gps or clinics where the vaccine
6:34 am
there are so many other conditions will take place. will it be gps, nurses, who will be giving the that have reduced numbers massively through vaccination. it does give vaccine? in general most vaccinations are given by nurses in hope. with the new trial, we know this country, they are brilliant and not every vaccine will be perfect so doa this country, they are brilliant and do a greatjob but this country, they are brilliant and do a great job but we will have to we need to do the third phase trials use other start the influenza season we tend to bring in health assistants and other people, which janssen has been doing. we training materials are being need more volunteers. everyone reacts differently to vaccines and developed so we can bring other we need to look at getting more staff on board who will be under the supervision of our partners and or a people from health care and social workers who are more in contact with doctor so there will be supervision covid—19 and there are higher complications and those from black, and training and that's a normal way asian, ethnic and minority for delivering training like this. backgrounds. we know from those with the pfizer vaccine we know it communities, there are less people has to be two jabs, three weeks volunteering and this is a cry out apart so how much more difficult for all those individuals who are does that make it and how important watching this morning. you can go on is it people get the second to the nhs vaccine registry injection? yes, it's very important yourself, pop your details in and to get the level of protection that's been seen in the trials, you they can contact you when they start need both doses but as time goes on trials. the more data we had, the it may turn out that a single dose safer the trial will be for is pretty good protection and, you
6:35 am
everybody. let's talk about know, some of the newer vaccines, logistics. money will be given to the vaccine is being trialled, some gps to help getting all these of them only use one though so it is vaccines out. how do you think it possible in the end you will end up with a vaccine that only needs one will work? we are still getting more dose or we give the doses further apart because you may get a better and more information about logistics overall protection, overall level of and more information about logistics and we know firstly the plan is that protection, by giving one dose and thena primary care networks will be protection, by giving one dose and then a dose much later. so there's planning on locating one surgery lots of options for this but within their patch to serve their certainly dispersed vaccine is going to be given in two doses. just a communities and these vaccines will hopefully be at the minute, it seems couple of other questions. how many people do you need to vaccinate for like there will be two vaccines. the it to have any real effect, you first one initially and it sounds think? there is two ways you could like a booster you will get. whether use the vaccine, the one we are they are frozen, you need to think going for is to try and prevent people having serious disease and about storage. a lot of information dying from this terrible infection is coming through. we have not had so we are dying from this terrible infection so we are going to target people who are at highest risk so we should official confirmation from the very quickly see an impact in the company. pfizer has not published numbers of deaths happening. it will its report yet. whether it has to be depend a bit on what the background given straightaway, whether there rate is at the time but if we are in are delays or we had to open a gp a high incidence period, and we surgery vaccinate people at highest risk, we are delays or we had to open a gp surgery from atm to 8pm seven days a will begin to see an impact on week. how we get staff to do that? deaths and hospitalisations quite
6:36 am
quickly because we are going to go there is so much to work out. i do for those people who are most likely to end up in those situations. later think possibly we will not get them axing up and running this side of on, if it turns out the vaccine interrupt transmission, then we may give it to a wider group of people the new year, may be january, and then we really need to get maybe february time. —— de vaccine up and half of the population vaccinated, to really see an impact on spread running. if we are thinking of within communities. really good to vaccination programmes to get the go through some of the detail with herd immunity, that is a way a lot you. thank you for your time. thank of the vaccines work. we know family and friends are people living in ca re and friends are people living in you. thank you for your time. thank you. you might have seen over the care homes with access to regular weekend some glowing tributes both testing. a pilot has been launched to ray clemence and also des today in 20 care homes across devon, o'connor. we will hear from someone hampshire and cornwall. that would who worked with des o'connor sure bring a huge amount ofjoy, went to? carol vorderman. but catherine is here paying tribute to ray clemence. —— that will bring. a lot of my gp both had really recognisable smiles, collea g u es —— that will bring. a lot of my gp colleagues who are watching this, it des o'connor with his twinkly eyes is really welcome. if i am honest, and ray clemence, enormous smile. really familiar face in the stands. maybe it is too little, too late. i know so many family members who had tributes have been pouring in for one of england's goalkeeping not been able to see relatives for greats, ray clemence,

6:40 am
by the wealthy, this lewis has rate to me and after that, bobby hamilton inspiration. robson, he took over and he preferred me. and i think that's seeing him at the highest level doing what he does when ray quit england but he got 60 best, really gives me the push to carry on. odd caps and you know, i often, seeing he has made it to the top shows me i can do the same sometimes people say to me, if clem thing. had not been around, how many caps he has been the start to the change would you have got but i say, and lead the diversity we see. listen, he was a fantastic lewis is still making his journey and it is a tough one but he goalkeeper and he deserved the caps has a lewis to follow. the man who is statistically simply he got. he did. briefly, can you tell me what are your best memories the best in history. of ray? roommates, friends, rivals for so many years. how will you remember him? not only being a great we will be speaking to damon hill at half past seven. goalkeeper, he was great agility, world number one dustin johnson said winning the masters great hands, great reflexes, natural felt like a dream. he produced a record—breaking sort of goalkeeper. just his performance at augusta to finish on 20—under—par — the lowest score in masters history. character, really. always very ready he won by five shots, with rory mcilroy the best placed brit — nine shots behind. for a laugh and a giggle. and i so no stopping johnson, drink as well! you know, ijust and as is tradition, he received the famous green jacket from last year's

—— about the experiment is, what are they looking at particularly? all laughter sorts of different things, going right across the scientific applause spectrum. 0ne right across the scientific spectrum. one of the particularly interesting things is when we studied that the astronauts themselves, because when astronauts that has made us both laugh. isn't go into space, their bones and that lovely? we're joined now by des o'connor's former "countdown" co—star, muscles get weaker. by learning about them, we learn about how our carol vorderman. we were just watching some of the bodies change, and how we can adapt to that as we age, help developing highlights and he was just funny, medicines. it can help with research wasn't he? he was really funny. i have been choking to a number of into parkinson's, alzheimer's, cancer. we study how new materials producers, young produces —— i have work, all sorts of things. so that been talking to a number of producers, they always said i never is obviously the research benefits, i wonder what difference it makes in knew, i was told to watch morecambe and wise but i never knew. and they terms of a private company ferrying are so and wise but i never knew. and they are so funny and so entertaining. it people to the space station, what is almost as though a new generation are your views on that? that is the other significant thing about this, is almost as though a new generation is seeing him as he would want to be because it means that costs are remembered. he was the king of telly going to come down, which is good for so many years in the days when i for government agencies like the uk space agency, who participate in the space station with the european was growing up when you had to get

replicate footage like that their doors for good within months. interview if it furthers the the music venue trust says places like the lexington in islington and the waiting room narrative. certainly that interview in stoke newington have been hit just said so much about the state of hard by the pandemic. london's night czar amy lame says their relationship at that time. and also it was a masterclass in her these venues must be saved. mannerisms because there is so much going on for her in that moment. they bring londoners together, they provide a stage everything she is doing with her for aspiring artists, voice, the way she tilts her head, they boost our night—time economy that was complete gold just for me and they support a whole wide range as an actor. it is uncanny when you of jobs from artists, to promoters, to bar staff, watch the pay review. you sort of to security, to cleaners. so we have to see a nswer watch the pay review. you sort of answer this, josh, but there has this as an ecosystem. the family of a teenager, been that accusation sometimes that who was stabbed to death you are sort of, not you, but the in harrow last week, say they are utterly devastated by his death. programme is financially exploiting the royal family but you are keen to point out that this is, in essence, 17—year—old jamalie matthew was killed in a work of fiction based on northwick park on thursday. historical fact. i suppose a work of fiction based on historicalfact. i suppose in the same way as historicalfact. i suppose in the same way as in the period of kind of in a statement, his family said he had been hoping to study law and that they were deeply saddened. shakespeare, he was writing kings so far, there have been no arrests. let's take a look at
6:58 am
the travel situation now. first, the tube. and that's all running and queens, taking the bare bones of well at the moment. reality and delving into the fiction of it. i feel like ultimately what let's take a look at the a2. the roadworks mean it's down to one lane at the danson interchange the crown survives on is the heading into central london. understanding that the audience have it has been causing long delays. the intelligence to understand... cricklewood lane is closed from the station to cricklewood broadway. the intelligence, the intrigue and understanding that this is fiction. and more roadworks it is always tricky. you don't want at vauxhall bridge. it's still closed southbound. now the weather with it to be ruffling feathers and you elizabeth rizzini. don't want it to be... you want to hello, good morning. be as clear as possible that this is it is a much drier, much quieter day of weather today peter morgan's imagination and his than we saw yesterday. there will be some rain as we head world being created but ultimately towards the end of the day and into the evening, there is a fascination in the royals but until then, and people sometimes will want to it's dry or mostly dry. we've still got that brisk believe that this is what happens south—westerly wind. there'll be some bright and some sunny spells around at times, andl but plenty of cloud believe that this is what happens and i think it is always worth through this morning. checking in and remembering that we we are starting off between 8 and 10 are actors and we are not real and celsius, so it is mild out there. it is not a real story, and that is the cloud will thin and break, quite helpful some times. thank you we'll see some bright, some sunny spells, emerge. for the reminder. are you going to we'll keep those through the afternoon, then eventually some outbreaks of rain moving eastwards
6:59 am
watch it, and a? are you going to on that brisk south—westerly wind. top temperatures around binge watch it? i haven't seen the 11 or 12 celsius, whole thing. i am getting so feeling a touch cooler once more. increasingly bad at watching myself. now, through this evening, that rain will move its way eastwards, staying rather windy idid increasingly bad at watching myself. i did watch an episode with my mum as we head through tonight. yesterday and that was lovely. i it will dry out, and we will see think it is nice if i can share in plenty of cloud for the second half of the night. someone think it is nice if i can share in someone else'sjoy of overnight lows of 9 or 10 celsius, think it is nice if i can share in someone else's joy of it. really so another mild start good to talk to both. thank you very to the day tomorrow. much indeed. emma corrin and josh now, tuesday and wednesday o'connor. all the best with the rest should stay dry. of it. some brighter spells at times, series four of the crown always plenty of cloud. is on netflix now. it will be windy, and it you're watching bbc breakfast. will feel mild, it's 8:59am. with highs on wednesday of 17 celsius. but much colder by thursday. nowjust before we go, time to tell you about a special programme on bbc radio london this evening. the mayor, sadiq khan is going to be live with eddie nester from five o'clock. he'll be taking questions from listeners. you can put your question to the mayor by calling 0800 7312000. that's 0800 7312000. this is bbc news with

7:03 am
good afternoon. the prime minister has of course had the virus already. this was back in april when he was released from intensive care. but a previous positive result isn't an exemption under the test and trace rules. it all comes after a tough few days for the government with faction fights and high—profile departures in downing street and at a time when the prime minister wanted to start to move on. the prime minister has some big decisions to make in the next couple of weeks. whether to sign up to a trade deal with europe, how to lift a lockdown in england on the 2nd of december, and he is also due to try to repair some of the divisions with tory mps. we are told many of those meetings will still go ahead online rather than in person but, for a prime minister who was hoping to get back on the front foot, the timing is far from perfect. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is on downing street.
7:04 am
nick makes the point that the timing makes things difficult, doesn't it? this is the story of two blokes who we re this is the story of two blokes who were told to get out of downing street on friday and one was told to stay in. the prime minister has talked about how he was told by nhs test and trace he has two self—isolate because he had met a conservative mp on thursday morning who later tested positive, so he has ten days of working from home, doing all of his meetings via zoom and hoping for the best. 0n the very morning this was meant to be the big reset, the political equivalent of plastic signs outside your local ke ba bs plastic signs outside your local kebabs shop saying, under new management after they have had a recent visit from environmental health. officials who are still in their say it has always been about
7:05 am
their say it has always been about the prime minister's agenda and it is still about the prime minister's agenda. there is no doubt this week and this morning in particular was meant to be about moving on from the excoriating accounts you may have come across over the weekend about the backbiting and anger that had broken out. thank you very much. we'll be speaking to the health secretary, matt hancock, at 7:30am. a major trial of another coronavirus vaccine will get underway across the uk this week. pharmaceutical company janssen is looking to recruit 6,000 volunteers for the study. it comes a week after results showed another vaccine could protect up to 90% of people against covid—19. our medical editor fergus walsh reports. we already have one potentially successful coronavirus vaccine, a jab developed by pfizer and biontech appears to be 90%
7:06 am
effective at preventing the disease. but it's not yet been approved and several vaccines will be needed if global demand is to be met. that's why vaccine trials are so important. 25,000 people are already taking part in vaccine studies in the uk but many more are needed. we don't know which vaccines are going to be right for which populations, which age groups, and which vaccines to give together. there's over 300,000 people signed up on the nhs registry, who might want to take part in vaccine trials and the people in the areas and regions around the vaccine centres, people in these locations will receive e—mails this week inviting them to look at the information about the study, to fill in a prequalifying questionnaire if they wish to know more and then 6,000 people between those 17 sites will be invited to come and take part. for the janssen study, volunteers will receive two doses, two months apart. half of those on the trial
7:07 am
will get a dummy jab. the 6,000 volunteers in the uk will be among 30,000 internationally. it could be six to nine months before we get results. the uk government has advance orders for six covid vaccines, including 30 million doses of the janssen jab. the nhs has been told to be ready to start immunisation from next month, should regulators improve any vaccines for general use. the government is hoping to double the uk's daily coronavirus testing capacity by opening two new laboratories. known as "megalabs", the facilities are set to open early next year in scotland and leamington spa. they'll be able to process up to 600,000 tests per day. the latest data shows current capacity is 520,000, although the number actually processed each day is lower.
7:08 am
talks to agree a post—brexit trade deal resume in brussels today. with just a few weeks until the end of the transition period, both eu and uk officials say this week is "crucial". the uk's chief negotiator — david frost — says progress has been made but warns that a no deal outcome is still possible. both sides have called for compromises to be made. four astronauts are hurtling towards the international space station, after a successful rocket launch from cape canaveral in florida. 3, 2, 1, 0. ignition. this was the moment the capsule blasted off earlier this morning, to begin nasa's first fully—fledged mission using a privately—owned craft. the spacex capsule will act as a taxi service in the coming years. 0ne one of those who might be using the taxi may well be hollywood's tom
7:09 am
cruise, who might be filming some of his latest blockbuster on the space station. how do you think he will get there? cruise control. no? harrell? did morning. a real variety of weather. we are looking at rain at times stop it will often be windy and then it will become colder for a time and turn mild once again. let me show you that in graphical form. monday, today, we had temperatures picking up to 15, 16, it may be 17. then the colder air will come in. for some there will be a nine to 10 degrees drop in temperature on thursday but it will be short lived. what we have today is an array of isobars. it'll be a blustery day
7:10 am
with more rain coming in from the west during the course of the day. a lot of cloud, some of which will break. the odd spot of rain or drizzle, especially in the west. the rain will come in during the course of the afternoon in northern ireland, south—west scotland, wales and south—west england. these are temperature ranges, nine to 13, possibly more. this evening and overnight not watch the band of rain continuing to push northwards and eastwards. still blustery. they temperatures in the north of england will actually go up. elsewhere we are looking at a mild night, 12 to 14 degrees the overnight lows. drizzle in the hills in the west but heavy rain affecting north—west scotland. some of that will get into the north west of england. some could hit 17 tomorrow, which is high for the time of year.
7:11 am
6,000 volunteers across the uk are being recruited as part of a new coronavirus vaccine trial. the study, from the belgian companyjanssen, will require participants to get two jabs — two months apart. it's one of a number of vaccines currently being tested, so let's have a look at where they're all up to. there are now 48 in development — 11 of them are in the final stage of testing — known as phase 3. one of those is the pfizer/biontech vaccine we heard about last week. early results show it can prevent more than 90% of people from getting covid—19. two others at the final stage of testing are being trialled in the uk. one of them is the university of oxford vaccine. results from that study are expected in the next few weeks. us firm novavax started trials here in september. the janssen vaccine will be the third to be trialled in the uk — the study is aiming to recruit 6,000 participants here — part of 30,000 people around the world. the uk trials of the janssen vaccine will take place at 17 locations including southampton,
7:12 am
bristol and manchester. dr katrina cathie is the lead investigator in southampton. shejoins us now. lots of our viewers will be very interested in this story. thank you for coming on and talking to us about it. we have heard a lot about the pfizer vaccine, where does the janssen one fitting? good morning and thank you for the opportunity to be with you. the pfizer vaccine gives us all hope because we can see there has been a vaccine developed which can potentially stop covid. the pfizer vaccine targets the spike protein, which a lot of other vaccines also target. it gives us hope that many other vaccines in development might also be effective. 0ne vaccine went be enough for the whole population in this country and
7:13 am
the world and one vaccine might not suit certain parts of the population, so one vaccine might be better for a particular population, so one vaccine might be betterfor a particular age population, so one vaccine might be better for a particular age group population, so one vaccine might be betterfor a particular age group or a particular area of population diversity. it is really important to continue developing the other vaccines because it is unlikely one size will fit all and we will need a suite of vaccines in order to offer something suitable to as many people as possible in the population. talk is through what you have found in phases one and two of the janssen vaccine. the interim results suggest it is well tolerated and introduces a well bust immune response. —— a robust immune response. in terms of timescale, we spoke to the health secretary, who is on again in about
7:14 am
15 minutes. we spoke to him about the pfizer vaccine and he was potentially talking about something before christmas. what is the timescale with the janssen vaccine? this will take place from now till the end of march. they are hoping to recruit 6000 people, as you mentioned earlier, and are hoping for results after that. the pfizer vaccine before christmas, we still had to see more safety data on that and it has to be approved and it will not be rolled out for the whole population at that point in time. mass vaccination is... we are not looking at that until near the summer, possibly the autumn, as kate bingham from the vaccine task force said. it is important that we kind of develop other vaccines because the more we can have the the sooner we will be able to vaccinate large
7:15 am
numbers of the population. you have run us numbers of the population. you have run us through the figures, 6000 people before march. what can those people before march. what can those people expect if they are on this trial? if they sign up to the national vaccine registry, they will be contacted by local researchers in that area if they are suitable, given more information so they can consider whether they want to take pa rt consider whether they want to take part and then they can fill in a questionnaire to see if they are eligible and then they will be invited to come along to do more eligibility checks and make sure we have gone through detail about the study and they know what is involved. they would have two vaccinations 57 days apart and we would monitor them closely. the checks and see whether people develop temper macro or not. half the participants would receive a steady vaccine and the other half would receive a placebo, a kind of dummy vaccine. —— developed covid or
7:16 am
not. we will not be biased when evaluating the results because we will not know which one has had which. when you were talking about the importance of having multiple vaccines available. is there an ideal number? three, five or more, what are we looking at? i do not think we know that. the uk government does have lots of potential vaccine doses already ordered. the key is we continue with these studies to try to make sure we do have as many possible options as we are able. thank you. there is lead investigator in southampton on the other vaccine we are talking about this morning, the janssen vaccine. matt hancock will be on the programme in about 15 minutes.
7:17 am
we know the pandemic has had a big impact on hospital appointments, and it seems lots of patients needing to see a dentist are being affected too. nhs figures show almost 19 million dental treatments have been missed in england since march. the british dental association says many practices are operating at a fraction of their capacity and that some could soon go out of business. dan johnson reports. the pain becomes excruciating. this is what toothache did to ten, and imagine dealing with that much pain. the filling fell out, the tooth had shattered into pieces. there was two or three teeth next to it that had all got together and formed one big infection that has gone right up that nerve into the sinuses, and around to the top of the eye, it was basically like having somebody pushing into your eye really hard. he was suffering with an abscess, starting to go blind, and despite many calls and even a visit to hospital, he couldn't see a dentist because he wasn't registered,
7:18 am
treatment was restricted. because he wasn't registered, treatment was restrictedlj because he wasn't registered, treatment was restricted. i got the sense that they were all closed, and that if you are suffering, the best thing you could do was go home and suffer. there were moments when i was contemplating home dentistry, andi was contemplating home dentistry, and i was considering the whisky and drugs and pliers option, but because it was right up to back and splintered into fragments, it would have been in messy thing which i would not have been able to do with any precision, but that was frequently on my mind. i did have some incredibly dark thoughts, because it got to the stage where i just wanted it to stop. after eight months in pain, friends covered the cost of private treatment here, but other patients are still reluctantly been turned away are kept waiting. thema's story made me cry. i know it touched the hearts of my team. it's not what you are trained to do as a
7:19 am
hygienist that manages a practice, my dentists staff feel this info stop it is heartbreaking. there will bea stop it is heartbreaking. there will be a rise in mouth cancer, rise in anxiety, rise in mental health because people loose teeth, so it does not bode well for the future of dentistry. the wait to get in here only looks likely to be longer, because dentists are still restricted in the treatments they can offer in the number of patients they can see, so they are likely to suffer more, and dentists are wondering about their future prospects. 0n the question being asked is, what does the government's commitment here to the future of dentistry? the department of health and social care told us priority access should be given to urgent care, and vulnerable patients. it says the nhs is working with the profession to make more treatment available. there are questions about the way dentists will be paid in future, what that will mean for waiting lists. here, leading an hour between patients and the cost of mountains of protective equipment is putting this practice and hundreds
7:20 am
more at risk. before covid-19, we used to see 20 to 30 patients a day, and we are now barely seem tame. this is quite difficult for us. we are all trying to do our best. we continue to work with our local commissioners, but at the centre of the nhs, we don't seem to get the support that we need. the majority of our work is nhs dentistry, we are just trying to help patients, we are open until almost 11 o'clock at night and we want to carry on doing that, but we are going to need some help. tim is now on the mend, but other patients are still struggling to get seen. if some dentists do not survive, that will only get worse. to get seen. if some dentists do not survive, that will only get worselj would not recommend having this if you are poor or marginalised in any way. the difference between nhs and private could mean the difference between suffering and not suffering. danjohnson, between suffering and not suffering. dan johnson, bbc news, between suffering and not suffering. danjohnson, bbc news, brighton. joining us now from birmingham is the chair
7:21 am
of the british dental association, eddie crouch. good morning to you. first things first, the last thing you want is people taking the teeth into their own hands in some ways, isn't it? yeah, i was on your programme earlier when the first lockdown was occurring, and we were hearing stories like this, and eight months on, it is terribly distressing to hear that people are still having these problems and suffering, and not able to access care. 19 million at dental treatments have been missed in england, according to the state. what kind of impact, long—term impact, or that have an patients festival? —— according to this data. when it is problems in the mouth, it is relatively easy for us the mouth, it is relatively easy for us to pick up problems that are picked up early, and the more advanced the problem is by the time we actually get to see it and start the treatment, the poorer the outcome. and that is especially true in things that are really life—threatening, like oral cancer.
7:22 am
so are you concerned that people with that, it might be being missed at the moment? absolutely, many lesions that occur in the mouth are asymptomatic to be patient, the patient would not know about them, the screening that dentists carry out quite regularly, six monthly, 12 monthly checkups, would pick these up monthly checkups, would pick these up atan monthly checkups, would pick these up at an early stage. the treatment so up at an early stage. the treatment so much easierfor the patient, the life chances of the patient, they are picked up this early, are so much better. sadly, this may be being missed on a daily basis, and many of these patients will have a very poor prognosis. right. let's talk about emergency appointments. 0ur talk about emergency appointments. our people able to get those, at least? the vast majority of practices are now open, but as my colleague said there in the interview, the numbers of patients we can see on a daily basis is very, very restricted, and there is a consequence of that, which is that
7:23 am
some waiting lists are being added to on some waiting lists are being added toona some waiting lists are being added to on a daily basis, getting longer rather than shorter. safety is of course absolutely key to all of this, so how could things be speeded 7 safely, this, so how could things be speeded up? safely, do this, so how could things be speeded you this, so how could things be speeded up? safely, do you think?‘ this, so how could things be speeded up? safely, do you think? a report came out from public health england a few weeks ago that said, if dentists could have some agreement on their surgery to change the airflow in the surgery on a more frequent basis, we would have a shorter period of time between patients and hence see more patients. —— could have some equipment in their surgery. but that investment into dental practices will cost significant amounts of money. we are asking today for the government to actually put that money into dental practices so that patients can be seen, more patients can be seen, and fewer patients like the poor gentleman in the report will have the problems he is having. you talk about the financials of putting in the air conditioning or whatever might be needed. practically that is possibly quite
7:24 am
difficult because every surgery is different, too. absolutely, some of my colleagues will be working on surgeries for that is not possible, and the viability of their dental practice will be called into question. many practices work on a model of mixed nhs and private care. we have had access problems in dentistry going back many, many yea rs, dentistry going back many, many years, and this has made the situation far, far worse. 12 months ago, i was on the bbc talking about the millions of patients that were struggling to get access. we now have a situation that is making this a crisis. the department of health and social care, a spokesperson gave us and social care, a spokesperson gave usa and social care, a spokesperson gave us a quote at least. the nhs is working hard to resume the routine elective services that were posed as pa rt elective services that were posed as part of the response to the unprecedented covid—19 pandemic. all dentists are able to remain open to patients, and those holding nhs contracts have continued to be paid in full throughout the pandemic. what is your response to that? yes,
7:25 am
all of that is true, we are working very ha rd all of that is true, we are working very hard with the department of health and nhs england, and all the other uk countries, to get services back to normal, but we need support. i have a meeting on wednesday with joe churchill, the minister responsible for dentistry. i know you have gotten matt hancock coming on soon. you have gotten matt hancock coming on soon. perhaps you might mention it to him. we need additional support, and i hopejoe churchill gives me a receptive meeting on wednesday. four people thinking of taking their own teeth out, what would you say? please don't. my collea g u es would you say? please don't. my colleagues are working very hard to get the most urgent cases into their surgeries. please contact your local surgery, surgeries. please contact your local surgery, and my colleagues will do their absolute utmost to get you in, but there is sadly a backlog, but we will prioritise the most urgent cases. 0k, eddie crouch, chair of the british dental association, thank you very much for your time this morning.

i'm a celebrity was back on our screens last night. based in a welsh castle. we will be asking harry redknapp what he made of it all. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm sonja jessup. a charity's calling for urgent financial support for the capital's small music venues, saying several are facing having to close their doors for good within months. the music venue trust says places like the lexington in islington and the waiting room in stoke newington have been hit hard by the pandemic. london's night czar amy lame says these venues must be saved. they bring londoners together, they provide a stage for aspiring artists, they boost our night—time economy and they support a whole wide range of jobs from artists,

to promoters, to bar staff, to security, to cleaners. so we have to see this as an ecosystem. the family of a teenager, who was stabbed to death in harrow last week, say they are utterly devastated. 17—year—old jamalie matthew was killed in northwick park on thursday. in a statement, his family said he had been hoping to study law and that they were deeply saddened. so far, there have been no arrests. let's take a look at the travel situation now. first, the tube. and that's all running well at the moment, apart from that ongoing closure of the waterloo and city line. let's take a look at the a2. the roadworks mean it's down to one lane at the danson interchange heading into central london. it has been causing long delays. cricklewood lane is closed from the station to cricklewood broadway. and more roadworks at vauxhall bridge. it's still closed southbound.
7:28 am
now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it is a much drier, much quieter day of weather today than we saw yesterday. there will be some rain as we head towards the end of the day and into the evening, but until then, it's dry or mostly dry. we've still got that brisk south—westerly wind. there'll be some bright and some sunny spells around at times, but plenty of cloud through this morning. we are starting off between 8 and 10 celsius, so it is mild out there. the cloud will thin and break, we'll see some bright, some sunny spells, emerge. we'll keep those through the afternoon, then eventually some outbreaks of rain moving eastwards on that brisk south—westerly wind. top temperatures around 11 or 12 celsius, so feeling a touch cooler once more. now, through this evening, that rain will move its way eastwards, staying rather windy as we head through tonight. it will dry out, and we will see plenty of cloud for the second half of the night. overnight lows of 9 or 10 celsius, so another mild start to the day tomorrow. now, tuesday and wednesday should stay dry. some brighter spells at times,

says, is bursting with antibodies but this was meant to be the week of the reset, after the departure of dominic cummings particularly. does it throw a spanner into the reworking of the government? not title. it does not change the amount of work the prime minister will be able to do driving forward the agenda. the wonders of video conferencing mean you can be incredibly effective, even when you are self isolating. if you are in a sort ofjob where you can do that, where you can communicate, i would say probably the majority of my meetings with the prime minister are over video conference. of course i see him as well. you can be really effective that way. we have got a huge agenda we are driving forward. the expansion of mass testing we are talking about this morning. we also
7:32 am
have another vaccine starting its trials here in the uk and then a wider agenda across government. i have no doubt he will be driving forward and, as he says, he is very sprightly. the prime minister did have a face—to—face meeting with lee anderson. i know you cannot see it at the moment but i am sure you have seen at the moment but i am sure you have seen it. why are they standing so close together? is it sufficient social distancing? there is social distancing and there are rules around downing street being a covid secure workplace. it does not matter who you are, if you are contacted by nhs test and trace and told to self—isolate, that is what you must do. you can be the prime minister or anybody in this country. we have the same rules and we all abide by them. iam same rules and we all abide by them. i am really glad that when lee
7:33 am
anderson felt ill on saturday morning and he got test tobacco he could get the test very quickly. the result came back within 24 hours, came back the same day. they are not two metres apart, are they? they are -- if two metres apart, are they? they are —— if you are in close contact, one person tests positive, then you do have to abide by those rules and thatis have to abide by those rules and that is exactly what the prime minister is doing. as we know, the prime minister is staying at number 10. can! prime minister is staying at number 10. can i ask you about someone who left downing street with a cardboard box last week? dominic cummings. iain duncan—smith said it was a ramshackle operation in the hands of one man. theresa villiers said both dominic cummings and lee payne, who
7:34 am
also left, were pretty dismissive of backbenchers and sometimes secretaries of state and ministers andi secretaries of state and ministers and i do not think that was helpful. what was your relationship alike with dominic cummings?” what was your relationship alike with dominic cummings? i work with everybody in downing street and we drive the agenda forward together. that is what advises around the prime minister are there to make sure his agenda gets driven forward and that is what happened. it does not matter who the advisers are. what matters is we are making progress in this country and this morning we are doubling the capacity, announcing the doubling of the capacity of our testing in this country. already a massive increase over the last few months. we have this positive news of the clinical trial starting of another vaccine in this country. that sort of thing matters and that is how we will get
7:35 am
out of this pandemic and get life as back to normal as possible. i think those are the most important subjects because that will ultimately affect people's lies because every single person watching this programme will be affected by how quickly we can expand the mass testing that is now under way and how quickly and effectively we can get a vaccine because that will help to protect people against the disease and therefore how quickly we can get life back to normal, those are the things the prime minister andi are the things the prime minister and i are totally focused on.” are the things the prime minister and i are totally focused on. i will come to you about the mega labs and i wanted to ask you about the vaccine as well. you said this is how we can to the other side of the virus. will you now admit, now that dominic cummings has gone, that trip
7:36 am
to barnard castle, that did undermine your public health message at the time? i am not going to go into that. what matters is what happens from now on in. the mass testing expansion we are announcing todayis testing expansion we are announcing today is actually brought to life by the fact that this testing capacity matters for a reason. lee anderson, the mp for ashfield, a brilliant local mp, he got a test within a couple of hours of phoning 119, he got the test result incredibly quickly. it is because of the test capacity we have been able to build and building it further we will be able to shorten those turnaround times in make test even more accessible and then get the contact tracing down, has again happen very rapidly in this example and we are reducing the time taken to get a
7:37 am
test and then get the test results back and then do the contact tracing. it is all about breaking the chains of transmission. we talked about me coming on the programme this morning because we are expanding this testing capacity and we wanted to talk about it but the example of how lee anderson managed to get his test turned around in very short order is really good example of the use of testing, the way we had been able to expand that capacity and why it matters to everybody in this country because if you get the symptoms, then of course you get the symptoms, then of course you should come forward for a test. let me ask you about these mega labs. we mentioned them in the news. you say early 2021. when might they open? some of our viewers might have heard about the lighthouse laboratories which have been
7:38 am
hampered by a few problems. are we going to be delayed with the mega labs? the expansion of testing will double our capacity over the next few months. they will come on stream in early 2021. we had built this extraordinary capacity, the biggest capacity in europe, over the past nine months or so, going from only 2000 tests available per day back in february two now half a million available per day. yesterday there we re available per day. yesterday there were a record number of tests done. just to clarify for the us, it is not the number of tests being done. there is a difference between test being done and capacity. de capacity is over half a million. yesterday, as it happens, was also the record in the number of test being processed through the labs as well.
7:39 am
what was that number? there are two different measures. how many you can do it capacity and how many you do do. you have given us one figure, can you give us the other one? 519,951 was the level of capacity and the number of tests done yesterday was 379,900. one more figure as well. how many people were tested ? figure as well. how many people were tested? we measured the number of tested? we measured the number of test done because it doesn't matter... if you are doing a test on someone matter... if you are doing a test on someone who had a test several months ago, it doesn't matter. what matters is the number of tests that had done. people can have more than one test. that is the discrepancy between the number of tests done and the number of people who have been tested. i do not have that figure in my head. what matters is capacity and the number of test done. i know
7:40 am
there is interest in the number of people tested. we do publish that but it is not a core measure of how well the system is working. lk. we will try to get that number. i am interested you had the other figures but not the number of people being tested. what matters in getting this virus under control is, if, like a anderson great you feel unwell with coronavirus symptoms, if in doubt get a test. —— lee anderson. you had to travel less distance than anytime in the pandemic. we had 600 centres across the country where you can get across the country where you can get a test. the results come back to macro the majority come back quickly and those turnaround times are coming down. the time that takes has also come down because we have been able to build this huge capacity.
7:41 am
the reason i have those numbers in my head is because they are the numbers that matter for each and every person watching this programme. if you feel ill with coronavirus symptoms, i want you to get a test incredibly quickly and this is why we are expanding the capacity further, despite the fact we have already built a capacity of half a million tests a day, because it helps to keep people safe. that is the point. it is about keeping people safe and keeping the virus under control. can i ask about care homes? so many of our viewers have contacted us about this and are interested in this happening now. when might this roll—out? interested in this happening now. when might this roll-out? this is another really, really good case in point. why does testing capacity matter? of course it is about the la bs matter? of course it is about the labs and the jobs that will come with the roll—out that it is
7:42 am
actually about improving people's lies. whether it is keeping people safe pair homes, it isjust heartbreaking that in order to protect people in care homes from coronavirus, we have had to restrict visiting on the way we had. we want people to be able to see their loved ones and had them and touch them but also we know that keeping people safe from coronavirus in care homes is also important. i don't want to run out of time but i am sure many viewers with a relative in it care home will want to know this, how quickly will it be rolled out? will they be able to see relatives before christmas? i was about to say that. i understand how important it is. 0ur i understand how important it is. our goal is to make sure we had testing available in every care home
7:43 am
by christmas to make sure that people can then take a test and therefore see their loved ones safely. that is the goal, we are working closely with the social care sector to try to make that happen. as you say, we have rolled it out in a small number of parts of the country, devon and cornwall in the first instance and then our goal is to have this by christmas so that people can see and be close to their loved ones by christmas. a question on the vaccine, which i know you touched on earlier as well. last week on the programme you said you we re week on the programme you said you were hopeful potentially a vaccine being rolled out december the 1st. where are we now standing with the pfizer vaccine and also the janssen vaccine we have been talking about this morning? it is good news another vaccine is being tested in the uk, the janssen vaccine. that is
7:44 am
seven months off. it is just starting its phase three clinical trials. the pfizer vaccine, we are working very closely with the company and of course we will be ready to roll it out as soon as it pans. we will be ready from the 1st of december. —— as it comes. everything would have to go right for that to happen. more likely is we may be able to start rolling it out before christmas but almost certainly the vast bulk of the roll—out, if the safety data proved that it was safe and that is still not known, we still do not have a vaccine. even if we do, it is likely the bulk of the roll—out would be in the bulk of the roll—out would be in the new year. obviously, we are doing all we can in the nhs is working incredibly hard to be ready for the best case scenario, if that comes up. what are your health advises telling you about how many
7:45 am
vaccines we might need to cover the entire population? we spoke to an immunologist earlier. it depends on how effective vaccines are at reducing transmission. clinical trials can tell you how effective they are at protecting an individual but they cannot tell you how effective it is that reducing transmission until we had a vaccine ina large transmission until we had a vaccine in a large proportion of the population. this pfizer vaccine has been tested on... the clinical trials have got 43,000 participants. that is quite a significant number on understanding and and impact of an individual. it is only when you get a large proportion of the population vaccinated you can understand the impact on transmission and therefore answer that question as to how many we might need. we do not know how long it might be effective for a night is another thing we will have to
7:46 am
monitor very carefully. thank you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. don't be fooled by this picture from pembrokeshire this morning, that is rain later on. you can see from the isobars that is another blustery day, far north of scotland looking at just day, far north of scotland looking atjust up to about 50 mph, and starting with quite a lot of cloud, patchy rain, through the morning some of it will ferment a break, with some sunshine. the weather front pushing from the west, cloud will build, and then eventually we will build, and then eventually we will see the rain including into pembrokeshire. temperatures ranging from about nine in the north to 12 or 13 from about nine in the north to 12 or13 in the from about nine in the north to 12 or 13 in the south. cool evening to start in north—east scotland, but as the cloud and rain advance eastwards and northwards, temperatures will actually go up. come further south,
7:47 am
actually go up. come further south, a lot of cloud, some murkiness especially so in the west, but it will not be a cold night. now tomorrow, we still have the south—westerly brisk wind, still if a bit of cloud around. still quite murky and some of the hills and the coast especially in the west. and still this heavy and persistent rain, could be up to 75 millimetres of rainfall from this, twice as much is that in some of the hills. that rainbow getting across northern ireland. but in the shelter of the hills in north—east wales to the east of the pennines, north—east scotland, temperatures tomorrow could reach an unseasonably mild 17 celsius. but generally, ten to 15. thank you, carol. i bet it's a bit chilly in that welsh castle. we will speak to harry redknapp in a few minutes' time. now the sport.
7:48 am
brilliant day at the masters, you did not want to move from the front of the tv, and lewis hamilton waking up of the tv, and lewis hamilton waking up this morning as the most successful racing driver in history, after a masterful victory in the turkish grand prix yesterday. top professionals from the sporting world hailed his remarkable success. we're nowjoined by another former formula 1 world champion, damon hill. thanks so much for giving up your time to talk to us about lewis hamilton. a very special driver, matching the record of michael schumacher and seven world titles. did you ever think you would see that match? no, frankly. michael beat the long—standing five world title record, and everyone thought, thatis title record, and everyone thought, that is an incredible achievement, then he went on to win two more and we thought someone was beyond reach, and there is a fantastic couple of chats with lewis at the start of his career, just before he came into formula 1, and he was giving out his
7:49 am
opinion on michael schumacher‘s record, saying he did not think it would be popular to beat it, then there is another interview with michael you can find where michael is saying he thought it could be beaten. so there you have two views, and ultimately be found out the a nswer yesterday was and ultimately be found out the answer yesterday was that absolutely, stunning display of why lewis hamilton isn't such a fantastic talent and a great champion. he did not put a foot wrong in very difficult conditions. talk to us about his in yesterday's drive. there's something about lewis hamilton in the wet. he won his first world title in brazil in torrential rain, we all remember that, and it then yesterday is about to win his seventh. what goes into producing a performance like that in conditions like yesterday?” producing a performance like that in conditions like yesterday? i can only say, imagine trying to have a running race on an ice rink in a new pairof running race on an ice rink in a new pair of shoes. it was so slippery, and the tires are designed to work in much warmer temperature is the
7:50 am
matter, so there wasn't enough temperature, and it was right all the way through. it never really got com pletely the way through. it never really got completely dry, it wasn't readily difficult. the early laps were very easy to mess up. you know, if lewis has got this weight of the championship on his shoulders, he has to stay out of trouble, he must not let his team—mate beat him, and then they are all running off to the first corner, you can't see where you're going to man everyone is sliding over the place, the skill required to navigate all those perils is extraordinary, and he has mastered everything that is to be mastered, i think, mastered everything that is to be mastered, ithink, in formula mastered everything that is to be mastered, i think, in formula 1 by now. and there will inevitably be people this morning as there always are when you talk about formula 1, who will say that just are when you talk about formula 1, who will say thatjust because lewis is the best car. do you think you a nswered is the best car. do you think you answered his critics with that yesterday? —— has the best car.” can understand people not really appreciative of why it is difficult if you have the best car. it is
7:51 am
easier having the best car, i will say that, having had the best car at my time —— at one time in my career. but they do not give you the best car forever. i but they do not give you the best carforever. i did not stay with my team, they properly thought i was not worth giving the best carter. with lewis, they are tipping over themselves to keep the car. mercedes have nabbed him at the early stage of their development as a team because they knew he was the best driver. so the best drivers get the best equipment, and he has held onto that position because nobody can touch him. and do you think we will ever see his achievements matched's 94 race wins, now seven world titles, when schumacher won a seventh, you said it would never be matched and now lewis has done it. do you think the sport will push on? do you think the sport will push on? do you think louis' dominance will ever be broken? i want to see more variety of winners in the sport, i think it is great to see somebody dominate if they are that good, but it is also great to see a variety of winners. i think lewis was
7:52 am
celebrating the fact that he was given an opportunity yesterday to show that if you throw all the difficulties at him, he still comes out on top, so i think that even lewis would say he would like a bit more competition from time to time, because it is more thrilling, it is more exciting, and it is also more possible for him to show what he can do. but that would also mean it might make his total of seven world titles unassailable in the long run. 0k, damon hill, thank you so much for joining 0k, damon hill, thank you so much forjoining us this morning. damon hill talking about lewis hamilton's seven world titles, incredible stuff. an incredible stuff at augusta national is as well. world number one dustin johnson said winning the masters felt like a dream. he produced a record—breaking performance at augusta to finish on 20—under—par — the lowest score in masters history. he won by five shots, with rory mcilroy the best placed brit — nine shots behind. so no stopping johnson. and, as is tradition, he received the famous green jacket from last year's
7:53 am
champion tiger woods. it is a dream come true. as a kid, i always dreamt about being a masters champion. it's ok. it's just incredible, obviously, as you can tell. you care so much and you work so hard, it's just that not a lot of us get to see it. i've never had this much trouble gathering myself. it's ok. tributes have been flooding in for the former liverpool, tottenham and england goalkeeper ray clemence — who has died at the age of 72. clemence won three european cups, five league titles, and two fa cups, in a career spanning more than 20 years. he played 61 times for england, and later went onto become a coach in the national team set—up before retiring in 2013. clemence had been living with advanced prostate cancer since 2005.
7:54 am
for him to win a league and european cups, somebody like that telling you, he did tell you, but he did appreciate it because he was a winnerand he appreciate it because he was a winner and he wanted the team to succeed. to work with somebody like that calibre who has been to the top, he was great. england have failed to qualify for next october's nations league finals after a 2—0 defeat to the top ranked team in the world, belgium. leicester forword youri tielemans opened the scoring before dries mertens found the back of the net from this free kick. the defeat is the tenth in 48 matches under gareth southgate for england. i'm so impressed with the performance of the players. we have learned a lot about a lot of players, not only their ability, but their mentality. there were several players who. .. very their mentality. there were several players who... very early stages and their international career, jack is their international career, jack is the obvious one, his performance was outstanding. in a top—level game, we
7:55 am
had afair outstanding. in a top—level game, we had a fair proportion of the chances on goal. wales will top their nations league group — if they avoid defeat against finland on wednesday. david brooks' header was enough to beat ireland by a goal to nil. meanwhile, northern ireland conceded two late goals away to austria. they will now need to beat romania on wednesday if they are to have any hope of avoiding relegation from their group. and scotland lost their first game since qualifying for next year's european championship. jan gregus with the only goal of the game there for slovakia. all of our attention switches away from the masters, it is now the atp finals, tennis, you can catch up with all of that across the bbc. we have needed it! thank you. four astronauts are heading towards the international space station this morning, after a successful rocket launch from cape canaveral in florida.
7:56 am
it's nasa's first fully—fledged mission using a privately—owned craft. the spacex capsule will act as a taxi service in the coming years. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill has more. three, two, one, zero. ignition. a spectacular show, and a space exploration milestone. and resilience rises. not even gravity contains humanity when we explore as one for all. the launch of this spacex dragon capsule with its four crew marks a new era, one in which the us space agency buys seats for its astronauts on privately—owned spacecraft. the space shuttle, retired almost a decade ago, was the last craft that was certified to fly nasa astronauts from american soil, but now the agency will work in partnership with spacex, taking crew to and from the international space station. that's inside crew dragon right now. 0ur crew—1 crew now coasting in low earth orbits... sunday's launch is the culmination
7:57 am
of years of design and testing, but the demonstration flight back in may was the test that the world was watching, as spacex successfully transported two astronauts to the space station and brought them home safely. the four people on this first fully operational flight, nasa astronauts michael hopkins, victor glover and shannon walker, and the japanese space agency astronaut soichi noguchi, will bring the number of crew on the international space station to seven. nasa says this will triple the amount of microgravity research that can be done. there are over 250 experiments that take place on the international space station at any one time, and they are in all sorts of different areas. a lot of the research done is involved in medicines, and in helping to understand how the human body works. it's a truly international endeavour, and countries coming together is what we need in human exploration. this group will spend
7:58 am
about six months in space, looking back on earth as the crisis of the pandemic continues to unfold. and, in a nod to a mission accomplished during this most turbulent of years, they've called their ship resilience. victoria gill, bbc news. we were talking about the seller, andi we were talking about the seller, and i did not realise that tom cruise is going to take a journey with his director on board the spacex at some point. we don't know when. to go on film a bit of a new film, i don't even know what film matters, summary will probably tell me. tom cruise actually in space. it would certainly add a bit of pr, actually be in front of the international space station. yeah. 0ther international space station. yeah. other things coming up in the programme, des o'connor, we will be speaking to carol vorderman about him a little bit later. and we will also hear from peter him a little bit later. and we will also hearfrom peter shilton paying tribute to ray clemence, who also sadly passed away over the weekend.
