most turbulent of years, they've called their ship resilience. victoria gill, bbc news. finally this lunchtime — a disco classic from 1979 has re—entered the charts — thanks to this. players sing. # yes, sir, i can boogie. # but you need a certain song...# ‘yes sir, i can boogie‘ has become the unofficial anthem for scotland's men's football team after their celebrations for their win against serbia last week — which saw them clinch a place in next year's euros. it has now reached number three in the uk's commercial radio chart — higher than the likes of sam smith, miley cyrus and ariana grande. higher than the likes of! time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. simon, thank you. heading to the

caribbean first of all, the record—breaking season continuing, this aircame record—breaking season continuing, this air came strengthening, catastrophic category five, half a metre of rain, winds of 190 miles an hour, making landfall in central america tonight. moving towards the uk, we draw in tropical air, for us, that means we have higher temperatures than normal, lots of cloud, is whether france will focus the rain. this one getting stuck in western scotland in the next few days, threatening some flooding by mid week. this afternoon there may be some weak sunshine for the east, to the west cloud thickening, getting some patchy rain coming in, temperatures around 11 or 12 degrees. through this evening and night we see this patchy rain pushing further east across the uk, the rain really setting in a western scotland, through the highlands, and into argyll and bute but if anything overnight, with milder air coming m, overnight, with milder air coming in, temperatures rising, 12—14 by the end of the night and by this point are stronger south—westerly

wind. tomorrow is going to blow in a lot of count, may some damp and drizzly weather over the hills, the rain continuing through western parts of scotland. going to be a mild day, temperatures generally 15 01’ mild day, temperatures generally 15 or16 mild day, temperatures generally 15 or 16 degrees, could be even higher where we get sunshine to the east of high ground. the rain still around, still be around probably into wednesday as well but for the next couple of days, the air coming from the south, hence the higher temperatures but look what happens by the time we get to thursday. the air much, much colder. wednesday is changing day, transition day, still low pressure around, some weather fronts, the wettest weather during the day going to be in scotland. there will be some patchy, light rain heading east across england and wales, head of that, the last of the milder air, temperatures gradually through the afternoon starting to drop. the really cold air yet to arrive and during wednesday night, it will get very windy, we could see a spell of wet weather coming in and

by thursday morning, some snow and some ice across northern parts of scotland. by the morning on thursday the strongest of the winds will be down the north sea coast, some sunshine and some showers around but as we head into the afternoon, the showers become fewer, more sunshine, the wind gradually easing. but for a while it really is going to feel cold in the wind, these are the temperatures on thursday, seven in the central belt of scotland, nine east anglia, it will become a little bit milder again on friday. thank you. a reminder of our top story... another breakthrough in the battle against cornavirus — a vaccine which data suggests is nearly 95% effective that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. mercedes team boss, toto wolff says he wants to sit down a contract extension. it follows hamilton's record—equalling 7th world title at the turkish grand prix at the weekend. ican i can understand people not appreciating when i have the right car. having had the best car at one time in my career,... with lures, they are tripping over themselves to keep them in the car. mercedes have nabbed him, with the start of the

development of his team, because they know he is the best driver. he held onto that position because nobody could touch him. 0lympics chief thomas bach has reiterated he's "very, very confident" spectators will be able to attend next year's tokyo 0lympics. bach, on his first trip to tokyo since the games were postponed in march, is hoping to convince athletes, japanese citizens and sponsors that the games can be held safely in 2021. we are putting a really huge tool box together, putting all the different measures we can imagine so is that next year, at the appropriate time, we will be able to ta ke appropriate time, we will be able to take the right tools out of this tool box and apply them in order to ensure a safe environment, and this makes is also very confident that we can have spectators in the olympic

stadium next year, and also the spectators will enjoy a safe environment. ireland captain johnny sexton and robbie henshaw have been ruled out of this weekend's autumn nations cup game against england. sexton‘s had a scan on a hamstring injury that he sustained in friday's win over wales. it leaves head coach andy farrell with dilemmas surrounding the number 10 jersey and the captaincy. england travel to south africa today for theirfirst tour during the coronavirus pandemic. the trip includes three international t20 matches and three one—day internationals with players remaining in biosecure bubbles throughout. england vice—captain jos buttler says it's something they're all used to now — but players need to speak out if they're feeling under pressure. i think, really, ithink, really, if i think, really, if you are feeling under pressure 01’ i think, really, if you are feeling under pressure or not quite filling yourself, having the confidence to

open up and talk about it, i think all of us will go through the different stages where feel a bit homesick orfeel a bit claustrophobic not being able to get out and about as you might normally wa nt out and about as you might normally want to, so we just have to make sure that we are very aware that, andi sure that we are very aware that, and i think one thing they are excellent at is looking after the players mental health well—being. we find in the summer in england, certainly a lot tougher to escape the game. that's all the sport for now. over on the bbc sport website, there's live text commentary of the atp finals as novak djokovic begins his quest for a record—equalling sixth title when he takes on argentina's diego schwartzman. coverage is over on bbc two from 2 o'clock. and i'll have the latest in the next hour. let's return to the news that a second vaccine has shown to be highly effective in the fight against coronavirus, following interim results from testing. the vaccine made by moderna uses

mrna to trigger immunity, similar to the pfizer/biontech jab that announced positive results last week. dr stephen hoge is the company's president, he spoke to our medical editor fergus walsh. obviously, we are thrilled. it's been a long year for many of us, and at our company, it's been a long, hard slog to get to the point where we now have clear evidence of the efficacy of the vaccine to prevent covid—19 disease. there was a moment of pretty intense relief. it's been a long, hard strife, as i said, but that quickly passed. after about a minute, it became a realisation that now that we know the vaccine works, we have to get busy to work manufacturing it and distributing it. but clearly, an important milestone and a great milestone for us as a company, and hopefully for us more generally as we fight this pandemic. just give me a sort of global thought in terms of the importance of these results, and just what it could mean for the world, and just how exciting was it to be in the room when you got the results? yeah, when we got the news

from the data and safety monitoring report, i'll admit i broke character and grinned ear to earfor a minute, because i didn't expect, i don't think any of us really hoped that the vaccine would be 94% effective at preventing covid—19 disease. that was really a stunning realisation. at the second thing that was perhaps even more exciting was that it was 100% effective, apparently, at preventing severe covid—19 disease. there were 11 cases of severe disease, but all 11 were on placebo. none of the vaccine recipients have had severe covid—19, and those combination of facts mean that the vaccine really is a terrific tool for stopping the pandemic, and hopefully stopping the worst of the disease that people are facing. when you combine it with the news last week of pfizer's vaccine, you've got now to vaccines that are over 90% effective, it really means, i think we have the tools necessary to finally beat this virus back. i think that's probably the best

news of the day for all of us, is that there really are, now, solutions in our hands, and we need to deliver them to the people who can use them. in terms of production, how quickly can you produce enough doses of this vaccine, and how many doses will you produce? so, we have two independent supply chains, one in the united states and one in europe for the international markets. in the united states, we are expecting to be able to deliver about 20 million doses by the end of next month, that's by the end of this calendar year, and then we will ramp up production very quickly for the us market. we have an international supply chain based in europe, primarily out of switzerland, that's similarly scaling up into millions of doses, and we hope to begin deliveries in the early part of next year, and over the course of the coming year, each of those we would expect to deliver between 250—500 million doses, so, about 500 million to 1 billion combined, so, for the international markets, including the uk,

where your audience is, we would expect to be able to deliver millions of doses, starting in the early part of next year. now, yours is not one of the vaccine is that the uk government has advance orders for, but will there be — have you had any approaches from them, and if they do want some, is it something you would be able to deliver next year? the answer is yes and yes. we have had ongoing discussions, very constructive dialogue with the uk government, and though we haven't announced anything yet, we do hope to be able to supply the uk millions of doses in the early part of next year, and we would have that capacity in oursupply chain. we have had long—standing discussions based on that, as well. and one of the potential advantages of yourjab is the storage. it doesn't need to be stored at —70 degrees celsius, so that should make distribution a bit easier. that's right. one of the things we're most proud of is the work we have done

on the technical side to make sure our vaccine can just fit into existing infrastructure for distribution and vaccination. so, the other thing we announced yesterday is we finally had some great data, ensuring that not only can we support —20 celsius standard freezer temperatures for up to six months, and that's extending over time, but actually we can support 30 days in the refrigerator. so, 30 days in a standard 2—8 celsius the refrigerator, which really means that you can move this vaccine into any of the existing health care infrastructure. individual physicians offices, local pharmacies. we are also able to ship in small numbers, so it's a ten dose vial, enough to vaccinate 50 people, and that hopefully means that the distribution of the vaccine to the people who need it most for the vaccination is much easier now. really doesn't need any special infrastructure. when are you going to submit this for approval with the fda and the european regulators? how quickly?

we are trying to get it down in the coming weeks. there is some data we still need to compile from the trial, it has been hours since they notified us that we are allowed to do that, so, we have got some more work to do in the coming weeks, but definitely weeks not months, and, for sure, next month, we would hope to be able to be filing both in the united states and globally, including the united kingdom. do we know yet whether the vaccine stops transmission of the virus, as well as stopping disease? so, we don't know that yet. we have hope that it does, but ultimately, that's not what's required to stop the pandemic. if we can just reduce this to an asymptomatic disease that everybody gets but with no hospitalisations or deaths, i think that we all feel we have beat this thing back. the reason we don't know yet is the trial is ongoing, and so we follow people who develop the disease, covid—19, and we therefore get the data on the imbalance on that pretty quickly, but to track asymptomatic disease, you actually need to follow people

for 6—12 months, because they don't know they're sick, and then you come in on a subsequent visit, say six months after they've been vaccinated, and test their blood and see if they've ever been infected, even without their knowledge. so, those data will come over time, you know, over the months ahead, as people come back in for their normal checkup visits. the labour leader sir keir starmer has been giving his reaction in the last half hour to the news of the vaccine — and to this mornings other developments. this is really good news, and i think the public will be relieved. we have been through a lot in the last seven or eight months, and this is light at the end of the tunnel. 0bviously, is light at the end of the tunnel. obviously, we have got to go from where we are now to rolling it out, and that is where you have written to the prime minister saying that we need a clear strategy, we need to pull everybody to get the best of britain, if you like, and i want to work constructively with the

government on that. i think the public want to see all political parties and politicians pulling together to make this work as quickly as we can. so, 2000 gps i think this is too quick and the plan is not in place. i understand their concerns, but the government needs to stretch out the strategy now for rolling this out across the whole of the united kingdom, and one of the priorities is how we going to get this to everyone in a safe way? i think the public wants to see is all pulling together to make that work, which is why a wrote to the government. but this caused problems? i don't think so, we have been speaking to the scientist here, they have been going as fast as they can and as safely as they can, and thatis can and as safely as they can, and that is what everyone expects. there have been huge safety issues, and they've been careful in their risk assessments. they are working at pace, but this is good news, and we

just need to take it from where we are now to rolling it out. what would you be doing differently? what are you urging on the government in terms of the roll—out? are you urging on the government in terms of the roll-out? in terms of the roll—out, i am saying but let's work together. the public want to hear, is it safe, how quickly can it be rolled out, who is going to be vaccinated first? most people, i think, would say it should be those who are most at risk. we need to pull together. if the public are saying the next few months politicians and everyone is pulling together, working across the whole country, that is what they want to see. the prime minister has criticised you for not pulling together in the past, from carping on the sidelines. i think he's forgotten all the times i've offered to work with him, whether it is getting children back to school, restrictions on lockdown. if the prime minister thinks it is the role of the leader of the opposition not to challenge him... so you are

calling for something more evidence—based and who gets the vaccine? more evidence-based. there is some indication of what the priorities will be. that needs to be put into a strategic plan, but i think we can work together on this. i think that the mistakes of the past are that we have gone to slow, pushing challenge, we can't make the same mistake here as we did with the vaccine. this has to go right. let's talk about boris johnson vaccine. this has to go right. let's talk about borisjohnson in self isolation. there is a growing list of mps that downing street is not secure. he is now in self isolation, i don't know the circumstances in which this happen, but i would say that wherever you are, you got to a baby about —— obey the advice and guidance. looking at the photograph, he was closer than two metres. have you posed for photos like that?” haven't scrutinised his photographs,

but we have been very careful to follow the rules. it's frustrating for the prime minister, i understand that, but it's important that he self isolates and we all comply with the advice. how many face-to-face meetings are you still having, like today? today, we are here to talk to the scientist, i understand exactly where they are with the vaccine, understand the implications of that we can put that into a strategic piece of thinking across parliament. so these are really important discussions to have. but is it strictly necessary for politicians to have face—to—face meetings? you can do by zoom. i think it's important for politicians to understand the science and understand the science and understand where we are with the roll—out of the vaccine and how it can be done quickly. in the end, thatis can be done quickly. in the end, that is the only way we can get it rolled out quickly. a couple of royal or local questions. southampton, what would you say to people about the risks of the trial and whether pete they should get

involved? i would welcome everybody coming forward to get involved in the trials and helping with the roll—out. the experience in the south—eastern tier in oxford is that people want to volunteer in great numbers, because they want to be pa rt numbers, because they want to be part of the response, and that is a very human and understandable thing. quite heartening, isn't it? it is heartening, and these have been hard yards, hard months, but two things that struck me. one is the solidarity of people as they looked after neighbours on one another, and the other is wanting to be part of the other is wanting to be part of the response, which is what you see this willingness to come forward and volunteer. a year long investigation by bbc africa eye has uncovered damning evidence of a thriving underground network in kenya that snatches babies from their mothers and sells them for a profit. the secretive and highly lucrative trade preys on the country's most vulnerable, stealing children from homeless mothers. njeri mwangi reports. an estimated 60,000 children live on the streets of nairobi.

they have become prime targets for child traffickers. rebecca has been homeless for years. herfirstborn child was stolen from her as she slept, and has never been seen since. we were approached by an informant, who claimed to know an active child trafficker targeting homeless mothers. she agreed to speak, on condition that we hide her identity. at great risk, she agrees to go undercover. anita calls our informant to a meeting. to her horror, she finds that anita has just stolen a baby.

anita claims she has a buyer lined up who is prepared to pay around $450 us. in a desperate attempt to stop herfrom selling the child, our informant tells her she knows a buyer who is willing to pay over $700. a child's life is in immediate danger, so we reported the case to the police, who agreed to try to arrest anita. i pose as the buyer and meet anita in downtown nairobi. to my dismay, there was no sign of the baby. anita agreed to return with a child later that day.

anita never returns. we heard she sold the baby to a higher bidder. anita has disappeared into the shadows and never responds to our allegations. the police are still looking for her. the scenes that i have witnessed in the making of this investigation have shocked me to my core. as a woman, as a mother, as a kenyan. traffickers are operating in plain sight. hundreds, perhaps thousands, of our children have been sold like cattle, stripped of their identity, of their roots. it is a national tragedy. tonight, thousands of children will sleep on the streets of nairobi. and those who prey on them are watching. waiting for their moment to pounce. njeri mwangi, bbc news, nairobi. nicola sturgeon has given the strongest indication so far that parts of the west of scotland

could be put under level 4 coronavirus restrictions, which are close to a full lockdown. in today's coronavirus briefing the scottish first minister said that there wasn't yet enough certainty that current levels of the virus wouldn't lead to the health service being overwhelmed. one of the issues we are looking at very closely is whether the current restrictions are reducing covid rates quickly enough in some areas, particularly in parts of the west of scotland, these areas that have stable but still stubbornly high prevalence of the virus. stubbornly high prevalence causes us concern for a number of reasons, two in particular that i would like to highlightjust now. firstly, it means that we don't have enough assurance, 01’ as much assurance as we would want to have, that our hospital and intensive care services are able to cope as we go deeper into the winter. we know that winter always brings additional pressures on the nhs, and ensuring that it can cope

with those pressures, as well as covid, is absolutely crucial. that's why regional hospital and intensive care capacity are important factors in our decision making when we consider what level of the restrictions will be assigned to each area. the second reason i want to highlight is this one. stubbornly high prevalence means that we might have less flexibility to offer some limited care for easing of restrictions over the christmas period, which we are very keen to do, and i'm sure all of you are very keen for us to do, as well. so, moving to level 4 restrictions for a limited period in some areas will not be a decision we ever take lightly, because of the wider economic and social impacts. it would help us to address both of these concerns. more generally, this is something we should all bear in mind, at any level of restrictions, especially as we all get more and more fed up of them,

is that every time we stop someone, especially someone who is older or more vulnerable, becoming infected with covid, we give them the chance of living into the era, which is now firmly on the horizon, when better therapies, vaccines, testing and treatments will be available. i think that motivation for all of us as we are living under these restrictions right now is important to bear in mind. the end is not quite with us, but we can see hope on the horizon now that perhaps we couldn'tjust a few weeks ago. so, these issues are ones that we are currently considering very closely. especially in relation to lanarkshire, glasgow and some surrounding parts of the west of scotland. the government's final decision will be taken by the cabinet tomorrow morning, and then i will set out to parliament tomorrow afternoon. donald trump has just tweeted, saying he won the election. it has

been liked by eric trump. just keeping you up—to—date. hello there. later this week, briefly we are all going to get a taste of something much colder, but for the next couple of days it is going to be mild. however, it will be quite cloudy. there is a lot of cloud streaming in from the atlantic and as that thickens up, so we are going to find some outbreaks of rain, initially coming in from the west on that weather front this evening and then that second weather front gets strung out in western scotland over the next few days and brings some heavy rain and the threat of some flooding. after a decent enough day for the eastern side of the uk, we have got some patchy rain here this evening and overnight it stays very wet here actually over argyll, bute and into the highlands. some patchy drizzle around some other western hills as well. a lot of cloud overnight. these are the temperatures by the end of the night, so a very mild start to tuesday, 12—111. by this stage we will have a stronger south—westerly wind and hopefully that will punch a few holes in the cloud, where we have got some shelter from the hills, but on the whole it looks pretty cloudy on wednesday, a little drizzle here and there, more rain across western parts of scotland. that is going to continue to add up,

bringing that increasing risk of flooding as well. but a very mild day, temperatures widely 15 or 16 degrees. could get a bit higher than that where we get any decent breaks in the cloud to the east of the hills. the weather, though, is going to change. for the next few days it is tropical air that is coming our way, hence those very high temperatures. but look what will happen by the time we get into thursday. by then we have got a northerly wind streaming our way, so it will feel much, much colder. wednesday is more of the transition moving day, really, we have still got areas of low pressure, weather front as well. the wettest weather during the day will be across scotland, some light and patchy rain pushing its way eastwards across england and wales and ahead of that the last of the warm air before temperatures start to drop away from the west during the afternoon. but the colder air is yet to arrive. we've still got that area of low pressure, which is going to take some wet and increasingly windy weather across the uk on wednesday night, very windy and then that colder air comes in, and we'll find some snow across parts of north scotland and by this stage in the morning the windiest weather down those north sea coasts.

we will have some sunshine, a few showers around as well, as we head into the afternoon and so the showers become fewer and there will be more sunshine and the winds start to drop a bit as well, but it will feel a lot colder, especially in the wind. 7 degrees through the central belt of scotland and a high of 9 celsius in east anglia.

this is bbc news. the headlines: another breakthrough in the battle against coronavirus — a vaccine which data suggests is nearly 95% effective. i broke into an ear to ear grin when i heard the numbers. it really exceeded our best hopes and it is an incredibly exciting moment for us as a company and the world as we start to develop tools to fight the virus. on a day he hoped to "reframe" his premiership after days of in—fighting — boris johnson is instead self—isolating in downing street after meeting a tory mp who later tested positive for coronavirus. it doesn't matter that i'm as fit as a butcher's dog, i feel great, so many people do in my circumstances and it actually doesn't matter that i've had the disease and i'm bursting with antibodies. we've got to interrupt the spread of the disease.
