have seen rain pushed down from the north and that has been washing the mist and fog out of the atmosphere. visibility improving but it stays cloudy with rain for quite a few of us cloudy with rain for quite a few of us today. the exception is across scotla nd us today. the exception is across scotland where we have sunshine and showers and the brighter skies will also push into north—east england as we go through the afternoon. it is feeling colder across northern areas, temperatures in northern scotla nd areas, temperatures in northern scotland about six celsius with a cold ghostly northerly wind, 30 to 40 cold ghostly northerly wind, 30 to a0 mph. 0vernight tonight, the rain clears away from the south. we will be left with clearing skies for a time across east scotland, a good pa rt time across east scotland, a good part of england and wales, and it will be cold with patches of frost developing by the end of the night. we have got colder to start the day on tuesday but things will slowly try to turn milder from the north—west behind this warm front of this warm sector, eventually pushing its way in. the east scotland, much of wales and england, it should be a sunny but cold and frosty stance of the day. northerly winds,

temperatures struggling across eastern coasts, highs of five or six for some. a terms milder across the north but extensive cloud, public mist and fog and certainly some areas of drizzle to watch out for. the middle part of the week, another cold front pushing south eastwards across the country with the air is starting to turn significantly colder. wednesday a lot of cloud for england and wales, outbreaks of light rain and drizzle pushing southwards and eastwards with time, brighter weather follows with sunshine. blustery showers, 50 mph winds blowing showers west to east and showers too for northern ireland and showers too for northern ireland and northern parts of england. colder air feeding and northern parts of england. colder airfeeding in. thursday, wet and windy weather on the way. this time the heaviest rain across southern parts of wales, southern areas of england. it could bring patches of localised flooding in a few areas. north, colderairfeeding in again, temperatures struggling, four celsius for some, and showers turning increasingly wintry. by the

end of the week, low pressure starts to move in across eastern areas. there will be heavy rain on friday but across western portions where we have the colder air, we could see some of the rain turned to snow, particularly on higher ground above 300 metres elevation. it means some of us on friday could be waking up to wintry scenes like these, simon. chris, thank you very much. a reminder of our top story. the effectiveness of lockdown: coronavirus infections in england have fallen by about a third. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. romain grosjean says he's competely changed his mind about formula 0ne's head safety device and credits halo with saving his life yesterday.

the frenchman walked away from an horrific iaomph crash at the bahrain grand prix — only suffering burns to his hands. 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson has been following the story. the bahrain grand prix begins. 20 cars race, each with a halo — a titanium bar protecting the cockpit, protecting romain grosjean. and a big fire there! fla mes insta ntly surrounded the driver. that should not happen. it will be part of the investigation. but with medics attending, grosjean, hands burning on the metal, was able to force his own way out, an escape which seemed miraculous. grosjean was able later in hospital to reflect on how the car's improvements had saved his life. ijust wanted to say i am 0k, well, sort of 0k. thank you very much for all the messages. i mean, i wasn't for the halo some years ago but i think it's

the greatest thing that was brought to formula one. without it, i wouldn't be able to speak to you today. at the circuit, the teams watched the replays. lewis hamilton tweeted that the crash was a reminder of the risk — the extreme danger that is still there. as soon as the grand prix resumed, another collision. a car upturned. lance stroll was the driver pulled out unharmed. a safety car finally led the racers home after another incident. lewis hamilton won but 20 drivers came to bahrain, 20 lived to drive again. joe wilson, bbc news. there are renewed calls for concussion substitutes following arsenal's decision to allow david luiz to play on after a clash of heads with rauljimenez. wolves has confirmed their striker jiminez suffered a fractured skull following the incident and is ‘comfortable' in hospital following an operation. arsenal's luiz, however, was simply bandaged up and carried on playing before being taken off

at half—time and later required stitches. arsenal say they followed the rules around concussion. however, the brain injury association headway says football is not doing enough to protect its players, a view echoed by alan shearer. football needs to get real, it needs to wake up. it needs to get serious. not next year, not next month, not next week. now. how on earth is he allowed to come back onto the pitch with a wound that is bleeding through the bandage, dripping down his face? we're talking about life or death here. and players' careers, career—ending. it's just not acceptable. the fa will investigate a deleted social media post by manchester united striker edinson cavani which contained a spanish phrase that is offensive in some contexts. he deleted it once told how it could be seen in the uk. it's after he came on to score twice as united came from 2—0 down at southampton to win 3—2.

their eighth away win in a row. police scotland say they will launch an investigation into the incident at celtic park last night and arrest anyone found to have been protesting. hundreds of celtic fans gathered after the club's exit from the league cup and threw missiles at the team and manager neil lennon as they left the ground, and clashed with police. two officers were injured. celtic have just two wins from ten, can't qualify from their europa league group and are 11 points behind rangers in the league. the club have condemed the protests and said the players were left shaken. the womens rugby world cup will increase from 12 to 16 teams from 2025. since 2006, there have been 12 teams split into three groups, but next year's world cup in new zealand will be the last before the revamp. world rugby chairman bill beaumont has described it as a "milestone moment" for the women's game.

i'll have more for you in the next hour. details of new restrictions to combat the spread of coronavirus in wales have been announced by the first minister this afternoon. mark dra keford talked about the introduction of new restrictions on the hospitality and leisure sectors, coming into place from 6.00pm on friday, after describing a "stark rise" in the number of coronavirus cases in wales. 0n on friday of last week i explained that coronavirus was once again accelerating across wales. eroding the gains that we have achieved together during the fire break period. throughout the pandemic, all the actions that we have taken here in wales have been designed to protect our nhs and to save lives, and that remains unchanged today. the facts are stark. unless we

respond now to the growing number of people infected with the virus, the advice we have a more scientific and medical experts is that now the 12th of january, the total number of people with coronavirus in hospital in wales could rise to 2200 and modelling suggests that unless we act, between 1,000 and 1700 preve nta ble act, between 1,000 and 1700 preventable deaths could take place over the winter period. 0n preventable deaths could take place over the winter period. on friday, the all wheel seven day incident rate was 187 cases per 100,000 people. today, that has risen to almost 210 cases per 100,000. we have seen further rises amongst the under 25 age group in 17 of the 22

local authority areas in wales and, more worryingly still, cases of coronavirus are beginning to rise in the over 60 age group in most parts of wales. this is a virus that thrives on human contact, in our homes or when we come together. that is why, over the weekend, at cabinet met to consider the detail of a set of new targeted restrictions in the hospitality and leisure sectors, and a new financial package to support affected businesses. the measures we are taking are based on what the uk sage group tells us has worked best elsewhere. so that is why, from 6pm on friday, new national measures will be introduced to provide

restrictions for hospitality and indoor as —— indoor entertainment attractions. pubs, bars, restaurants and cafe is will have to close by 6pm and will not be allowed to serve alcohol. after 6pm, they will be able to provide takeaway services only. from that same date, indoor entertainment venues, including cinemas, bingo halls, bowling alleys, soft play centres, casinos, skating rinks and amusement arcades will have to close. indoor attractions such as museums, galleries, and heritage sites will also have to close, but outdoor visitor attractions will be able to remain open. the rest of the national measures we have in wales will remain the same as they are today. there will be no changes to extended households, how many people can meet in public outdoors, or indoor places, or restrictions on

other businesses. now when the english lockdown ends on wednesday of this week we will look again at travel restrictions in and out of wales and we will make a further announcement later this week. we will formally review these restrictions by the 17th of december, and then every three weeks. let's get more now on the story that sir philip green's retail empire, arcadia, is likely to call in the administrators, putting 13,000 jobs at risk. sources in the company, whose brands include topshop, burton and dorothy perkins, have told the bbc they don't expect a last—minute rescue deal. nina warhurst has been outside topshop in liverpool for us. at around seven o'clock this morning some staff arrived here at topshop and liverpool and gathered for a team huddle. i asked one of them were they aware of the plans for the company.

he said yes, but didn't want to comment further, quite understandably. you can't underestimate the importance of the arcadia group for our high street. there will be very few of you watching who don't have an item of clothing from topshop, dorothy perkins, burton, and even fewer of you watching who are older than the group. dorothy perkins is more than a century old. these businesses are on the brink of collapse. the administrators are probably being called in at lunchtime today, meaning they will look at what is salvageable for the business. let remind ourselves of the size of the arcadia group. so, within it, topshop, dorothy perkins and miss selfridge among others. there was a major restructure last year which meant they closed down international outlets, about 13,000 jobs remain in the uk. despite the problems of the company, sir philip green, its owner, has an estimated personal wealth of more than £900 million. every empire has its day, but this is an extraordinary fall for the man once dubbed the ‘king of the high street'. brash, brave, brilliant.

bully. whatever your view, sir philip green is undeniably one of the big beasts of british retail. it's going to be about old—fashioned shopkeepers, old—fashioned operators, there's no more financialjinks, this is about knowing your business. from miss selfridge to dorothy perkins, his clothing brands are on every high street. but it is topshop and its links with high fashion that striven the group's success. it's just a label, isn't it? yeah, but it's the style of clothes! it's kate moss! yeah, it's kate moss! it's kate moss! everybody wants to be like kate moss! it's kate moss, she's gorgeous, man, she's stunning? it matters that much? beautiful figure, tall, beautiful. but it's just a label. it's kate moss! but it's the same thing as designer clothes, why do they say you can spend £500 on an outfit? because you know this designer's designed it. and we're all so shallow in this day and age that we don't care. because it's got a label that says armani, gucci, whatever. and you think you might look

like kate moss at the end of it? i'd hope so! laughter. british home stores, or bhs, made his name, and tarnished it. he bought the tired chain for £200 million at the turn of the millennium but the good times weren't to last. it was sold for just £1, 15 years later. before going bust with a massive hole in the pension fund. really sad. i've been here 27 years. sir philip's anger was clear to see when he was questioned by mps. sir, do you mind not looking at me like that all the time? it's really disturbing. but he did agree to add hundreds of millions back to the pension pot. fashion comes, fashion goes. in recent years, his empire has struggled to keep up with cooler, digital rivals. so could this be the final chapter in the philip green saga? right, you're out of here.

maria malone is a lecturer in business and fashion. how did it from that, affiliated with the colour coolest cat in fashion, kate moss, to the staff indoors here wondering what their future holds. two reasons, computation and change. the customer now looks for something thatis the customer now looks for something that is of good value, great price, good quality and well designed. that is the key, well designed. a lot of what you see here is very similar to what you see here is very similar to what other people are doing, similar product, similar quality, the better price. the implication from you then is that this has nothing to do with covid, this demise. they were in trouble before covid, pat during covid the big winners are those who have a big online presence. there

has been a lack of investment in digital. getting a really lean, slick supply base and chain that is all digitised, gets the product to market quickly. finally, maria, how much of this is to do with sir philip green, how much to damage the brand? enormously, in my opinion. people have so much choice and as to where to shop, gesture we are here we have primark, that building is to be part of the littlewoods group. very, it is now. next isjust be part of the littlewoods group. very, it is now. next is just a peen very, it is now. next is just a peer, which has an online presence. people have a choice as to where they want to spend their money and they want to spend their money and they don't necessarily want to give it to sir philip green. really interesting to see what comes next. you can't underestimate the affection for these brands. thanks for your tweet this morning. hannah

sang her trips to topshop make—up airlikea grown sang her trips to topshop make—up air like a grown up in the 1990s. michelle sang i started at topshop for £6 an hour. i miss it —— i will miss it if it goes. it would be enormous for our high street if this business was to go into administration. we will find out later today. the headlines on bbc news: the number of new covid—19 cases in england has fallen sharply since the second lockdown began, with cases dropping by nearly a third across the country. wales faces tougher new restrictions — pubs across the country will be banned from selling alcohol in the run—up to christmas. thousands ofjobs at risk as sir philip green's retail empire, which includes topshop, burton and dorothy perkins, verges on collapse. the amount of taxpayer money that farmers receive will be much more dependent on the contribution they make to the environment, under new plans by the government. it will mean traditional subsidies in england will be reduced from next year and payments to protect nature

will be introduced. earlier, my colleaguejoanna gosling spoke to the president of the national farmers' union, minette batters, and tom morphew, ceo of full circle farms, which encourages local communities to get involved with farming. they gave their reaaction to the changes. it is only going to benefit us, really. we have been educating people and trying to push this way of farming forward for the last four yea rs of farming forward for the last four years and we can only see the benefits for the environment and a local surroundings, as well. we have been trying to educate people on a more sustainable way of farming for the last four years and move away from the kind of commercial way of farming using heavy machinery, ploughs, pesticides and herbicides, and go backwards to go forwards, really, without using any of the nasty stuff involved in some of the commercialfarming. nasty stuff involved in some of the commercial farming. minette, nasty stuff involved in some of the commercialfarming. minette, tom is a model example of what the government wants to promote with

this new system, but you believe there are former will go out of business because they don't work in the same way. what are your fears on that front? i don't think tom is referring to those who will be most impacted by all of this. if you look at the farm business income figures, the ones most impacted by the changes are of lowland livestock producers and plant livestock producers. in some cases we see up to 80% reduction to those farm business incomes. farmers want to know now is the detail of those monies, up to 50% will be taken away by 2024, what the schemes look like for those monies coming back into farming businesses across all land areas and across all sectors. it is the detail that we need to see right now. so if the pharmacy is an 80% reduction in its income as a result

of these changes, can the firm survive? it is going to be a very, very tough ask for some farming businesses, hence why it is really important that the government looks at the fairness and functionality of art supply chains. we have the most affordable food in europe, the most affordable food in europe, the most affordable food in the world, we have got to make during this period of change that farmers are receiving a fair return for what they produce and we have seen a continual dongle pressure on prices, we live with the retail price war. that is a big question that needs to be answered and ultimately needs to be acted on, making sure we get a fair return back to the farm gates. the idea presumably behind this change is to promote sustainable farming with responsibility for the environments. will it not lead to that change? we set and ambition ourselves to be net zero carbon neutral producers of

food by 2014. we think this is an enormous chance for the uk and a massive opportunity for the world and asked to lead a green recovery, because what we feel the future is about is getting into the field, focusing on our soil health, focusing on our soil health, focusing on our soil health, focusing on sustainable climate smart ways of farming, which are about farming with less inputs, but about farming with less inputs, but about greater output is because you are farming smarter. that needs to incentivise asian, are farming smarter. that needs to ince ntivise asian, new are farming smarter. that needs to incentivise asian, new innovation, new research and design, and it needs us to be working really closely with government, making sure that we get this policy right. don't forget, this is england only. we are four nations, one country, so we have got to make sure we take a whole framework approach, too. tom, in terms of incentive to farm in an environmentally sustainable way, what is there at the moment, what are the pros and cons of it, and

just looking at what benefits under the current system, it is the people it seems with the most land, in other words, the richest. yes, u nfortu nately. other words, the richest. yes, unfortunately. it is not a very fair system. the queen gets paid £90 million a year or so for opening her farmland and it doesn't reflect very well on the farmers who are struggling because they don't have much land. we will need to support 0bama is to change the way they form again. this has happened in english farming for the last 70 years. we keep bending over backwards to try and achieve whatever the government wa nts. and achieve whatever the government wants. if the government are going to change the rules again, change the way we should be farming again, we need to have a lot of support to help farmers through that transition. it is all very good for the environment, the right way to move forward, but we need to be aware that farmers have already invested a lot of money and time in

the machinery and things they have now, to change it all again and to change the markets to search is going to be quite difficult for them. how easy it is to access some of these payments is going to be interesting, it'll be interesting to see how that span site over the course of this new scheme being rolled out and how easy it is to actually get your hands on that money to make these changes. minette, there is obviously a window for this to happen, the changes won't come into full force until 2028 and the government has already said there will be a lump sum for farmers who don't actually want to change, to enable them to retire with dignity, so the government puts it. is that fair enough, and enough to make this happen without too many casualties along the way? again, it is back to the detail. the tax

implications of a lump sum payment, what does that mean for the tenant landlord relationship? will landowners be happy to let the tenant pulled down those monies? we mustn't forget in all of this that the tenant sector is over 50% of farming in this country, so that is people who don't actually own their land, they are tenants for a landowner. we should be clear that this is not about prioritisation of smaller farming businesses. there will still be the capability, as there was under the chp, for large landowners to obviously pull down more money because they have the skill to deliver public money to public goods. and also this is a step back from the commitment that you have to actively be farming. you don't have to actively be farming any more, so you could be a foreign investor. it is crucial that we get this right, that we make sure that we are not marginalising our ability

to produce food, we are currently (50% to produce food, we are currently 60% self—sufficient and we believe that must be maintained, and in some areas, like fruit and vegetables, we should be producing much more. the opportunities to level up, get back toa opportunities to level up, get back to a more localised, added value food adventure is also supported. agricultural acts to come along every day of the week. the last one was 1947. in the act of 2020, we have to get it right because this is about the future our food. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello, there. monday's weather started off on a similar note to what we had over the weekend, with extensive low cloud, mist and fog patches around, particularly across east anglia, southern england, the midlands and southern parts of wales, as well. but since then, we have seen some rain move down from the north and this rain has been washing some of that mist and fog out of the atmosphere, so visibility has been improving, although many of us will stay cloudy, still with some patches of rain around through the afternoon. across northern areas of the uk, particularly scotland, the skies will brighten,

but there will be some heavy showers here, as well. 0vernight, the rain will continue to pull away. clear skies follow across most of england, wales, eastern scotland for a time, long enough to allow temperatures to dip down below freezing, so we are looking at a touch of frost to start the day on tuesday. for tuesday, cold air to start off with is in place, but then we have this mild air moving end of the atlantic. this is a warm sector pushing in from the north west. i think for many across eastern wales, most of england, eastern scotland, a bright start with some sunshine. cold northerly winds. temperatures struggling with highs of around five or six celsius for some, but across the north—west it does turn milder. with that, a lot of low cloud. there will be mist and fog patches again over the high ground and some patches of drizzle around, as well. further changes in the weather picture as we get towards the middle part of the week. another cold front will be sliding its way south eastwards. this introducing much colder air across the north west. for england, wales, a lot of cloud. there will be some patches of light

rain and drizzle as that system pushes south—eastwards. the skies brighter for scotland, northern ireland and northern england. strong winds for western scotland and plenty of showers going right the way across scotland, some from northern ireland, some for the far north of england. turning colder. temperatures between five and seven degrees. we have some wet and windy weather on the way for thursday. the heaviest rain for wales and southern counties of england. showers in scotland. well, they are going to be turning increasingly wintry with some snow, particularly above around 300 metres elevation as the colder air starts to really dig in. and we end the week with low pressure slowly pushing to the eastern side of the country. now, this low pressure could well start to engage some of that colder air, so we may well see some of the rain turn to snow, but more especially over high ground, probably above 200 or 300 metres elevation. nevertheless, as we end the week, there could be a few of us that wake up to scenes like on friday.

this is bbc news. the headlines: wales faces tougher new corona restrictions — pubs across the country will be banned from selling alcohol in the run up to christmas. singer rita 0ra has apologises for breaching lockdown rules, the prime minister "every member of the public, including celebrities" should follow the rules. borisjohnson calls for his mps to show "unity and resolve" as he tries to head off a rebellion over his new tier system in england. coronavirus infections in england have fallen by about a third. some of the worst—hit areas see the biggest improvements — but experts warn the figures are still too high. moderna is filing for us and european emergency regulatory approval of its coronavirus vaccine so that it can be recommended for widespread use. thousands ofjobs at risk as sir philip green's retail empire, which includes topshop, burton and dorothy perkins, verges on collapse.
