hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. in the uk pressure grows to shut more schools. unions are demanding an immediate two week closure of all primaries and secondaries in england — as coronavirus cases surge. this is not about teachers wanting

to close, this is how teachers we need to have risk assessment that ensures that there is safe practice gci’oss ensures that there is safe practice across her settings. india begins a nation—wide mock drill to test its preparedness for mass immunisation against covid—nineteen. president trump and the election — now 11 republican senators say they will support him and object to the official results. french police shut down an illegal rave that had been underway since new year's eve — with more than two and a half thousand partygoers hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are simon minty — disability consultant and comedy producer and anne ashworth — property and personal finance commentator tomorrow's front pages, starting with, the sunday telegraph leads on comments from ofsted's chief inspector amanda

spielman — who says children cannot be ‘furloughed' for months whilst coronavirus cases subside —— and that time out of classroom should be kept to the "absolute minimum". teaching unions havejoined forces to call for schools to be kept closed to slow the spread of the virus. the sunday express reports on comments from the prime minister — he describes the work on the oxford vaccine as "a triumph of british science" — and believes the uk will defeat covid in 2021. the sunday times leads on analysis, which shows nearly a quarter of people in england live in a constituency with no hospital, gp practice or community building for administering vaccines — as the oxford vaccine roll—out is due to begin on monday. and the mail on sunday reports on comments from england's deputy chief medical officer professor jonathan van tam, who has defended the decision to extend the gap between administering two doses of the vaccine from 3 weeks to 12 weeks — insisting ‘it is the way we save most lives‘

so, let's begin. my my guests are ready and they have been going through the papers so far and let's start with you this time, the sunday express certain that the vaccine it will be unveiled on monday in this will be the year would be defeated covid—i9, he says. let's hope so, that would be good. this is a very hopeful proclamation andi this is a very hopeful proclamation and i slightly worry if you just said this is great, we have the oxford becks unit is rolling out and it's a triumph, they'll be fantastic but i kind of feel that we weaned a steady hand is opposed to a big grin promises because look at other from pages, still feels very messy and very dangerous and this is just a little bit too much too soon and i'd like a little bit more just blanket down, i suppose. in this hope that

the vaccine will bring the pandemic much more to a close and help ove i’co m e much more to a close and help overcome it, this year, in the meantime, it's their lives and people following the rules and the guidance and not breaking them and we hear on the sunday express that high—profile players supposedly it seems, breach the rules of christmas. this is the most extraordinary covid—19 story. three very big names many players went to a party mixed with other people and put a picture of it on social media as if to promote to the world how happy they were but that is exposing the fact that they broke the rules, the fact that they broke the rules, the most attending aspects of the story in a time are we all need some humour is that the manager feeling

very disappointed in one of them because he had given him a piglet for christmas and keeping him company because he knew he was going to be alone. but i want to know was that already cooked in a dish or was ita that already cooked in a dish or was it a life piglet as a pet but whatever, this is another instance of people thinking that the rules don't apply to them and they don't have to obey them and a lot of people i think find i find offensive. there was also really interesting moment where only a week ago, they were complaininge football match three hours to go and then there was pulled because of the tea m then there was pulled because of the team was having some covid—i9 cases and he said this is completely unprofessional and it was sunday league is very temperature and he felt that i should not be laughing because it's a terrible story but on the flip side, it has come back and

bit him on this a bit because it is so bit him on this a bit because it is so complex that even his own players are not sticking to the rules. and even when some of them typically for christmas. let's go back and pick up on the sunday times. some people in areas may struggle practically to get the jab. this is a quite disturbing story that indicates that while former people live in an area where there is no site either hospital or gp surgery or equivalent, premises or the vaccines can be administered. this is really going to stand in the way of the roll—out, particularly in london where it seems the problem is most acute. we know that is the area of her covid—19 is raging and so the concerns expressed by the prime ministerand concerns expressed by the prime minister and the roll—out could yet turn out to be another one of those

cases of overpromising and under delivering and we have had enough of that. but it is a very interesting thing that we have the vaccines but it is the implementation administration and the vast enterprise and of course, this can be problems of the outset it maybe best of the just doesn't claim that it's neck would be able to deliver too much too soon. bringing you in on the next story with the deputy chief medical officer saying that the new policy of expanding the gap of the distance of the vaccine will save many lives as opposed to ghost heart of trying to make which of god go as faras heart of trying to make which of god go as far as possible in terms of the impact it can have. that says, i can see the logic saying that rather than waiting, this may be extended to 12 weeks with the extension of

having the first jab to 12 weeks with the extension of having the firstjab and as many as possible and more people will have some level protection and i can get the logic and it's an interesting idea and the chief medical officers respective countries are all in agreement and it paints a bigger picture and this is an idea, maybe where it originated from. brice tried to get worried this is about messaging again and when it comes to medicine, generally we are told that you must see the course through taking antibiotics a must read the instructions to make sure that you understand it and i'm trying to think one of the pharmaceutical companies that ruled this out and i'm finding that they're changing the parameters of how they're using it, the ft is already saying that in

some situations, they may mix vaccines in rare cases. so there's a lot of messy feeling about, the messaging that we do around here, if it isa messaging that we do around here, if it is a good idea can see the logic, i think going to be really clear how we're doing this might be doing this and also what are the advantages, does this mean people in the nhs, people were teachers, doesn't mean people were teachers, doesn't mean people working in supermarkets, are they going to bejumping up the q? we actually are slightly pressed for time this lot, on the front page of the sunday telegraph, they are linked ina the sunday telegraph, they are linked in a way, that the route that brute, whether to keep schools closed or not, very similar story on the same page about hospitals facing a dire crisis that the balance is making sure children get education and those that are vulnerable are kept in schools at the same time as the virus spread to

rapidly and causing further pressure on hospitals. there are so many competing and very valid arguments, teachers are very concerned about their own health and how worried the government is overconfident about the reopening of schools and meanwhile, we have the head of off state in the children's commission talking about the very real concerns that if we furlough our children and do not reopen schools for weeks and maybe even months, the life chances ofa maybe even months, the life chances of a whole generation will be lost and it is very interesting and some other stories and some other papers that we have prominent members of the tory party distancing themselves from gavin williamsons policies. so we can expect some new action on this, this is the year we are going

to have very big elections in which the government is going to be judged and if we fail our children and we also feel her teachers, that will not be good for the government. so, they need to get a grip on this and decide what the policy is in implementing it, rather than stopping and starting and quick u—turns. the climate crisis facing the world has not gone away despite a lot of the attention being focused on the pandemic and this interview, she does not give a lot of interviews but her feelings of the state of the road at the moment. i really like, i'm shocked that she is 18 inches young adult now, i often forget that she is a really good face for people with autism because she is very straightforward speaking, she knows her mind and when she talks about

what you can do for her birthday, she does this do the best you can for the environment and she is not someone for the environment and she is not someone who is preaching to the point where you must follow everything that she wants, she is quite happy for you to follow your own conscience and she just seems very sound sorted young woman and she has had some difficulties of people because she is at three years of exposure and people making threats to her family which is immensely sad. but she is a fantastic role model. were going to have to leave it there but thank you so much. that's it for the papers this hour. thank you simon and anne. click is coming up next.

we've been live in the uk, india and around the world and for this year, we went live in your living room. joined by click fans from across the globe and masterminded by a director... and his assistant. i thought i'd had prepared for everything. i thought i'd prepared for everything. but not for the cat. hello! real people! you're the first people i've seen nine months! (applause) hello! normally at this time of year, we like to look back at our best bits from the past 12 months.

but it's obvious that no one wants to look back at 2020 ever. so, we're not going to look back at 2021 because fortunately this is the year were click turns 20. so with that we'll look back at some of our favourite moments ever. laura, of all the places that you have got to go, can you just say one place that really sticks out, possibly one place? yes, it's difficult but it has to be my trip to norway. we did a sustainability special. i think this shoot is something that will stick with me forever. we went out with an underwater drone and you're there in the boat with the most sought dunning surroundings and then you see what's going on under the water. it was really quite something. if you want to see what goes on beneath the surface where everything looks completely immaculate above it, this is a real eye—opener because this underwater could see plastic all of the surface, there are apparently cars under there as well. we did not see any on our trip,

but the people outside with said that they had said cars had just been dumped on the ice and the ice broke and the cars just fell into it. really an incredible site. we asked them to pick the most memorable click moments an amount the reputation for breaking everything that he touches, case in point, the unbreakable phone in 2010. dan, you broke the unbreakable phone and you're given something something even more spectacular to try to break. we travelled to china, where they were busy making a glass bridge. they help the thousands of visitors that come here will not be too scared to look down. 300 metres too scared to look down. 300 metres to the worlds highest class walkway.

each panel of the walkway has three layers of it held together by glue. the president has given me an hammer and succeed if i get two or three, i would not follow through and here it goes. —— iwill would not follow through and here it goes. —— i will not fall through. it is absolutely incredible. those pictures look stunning it's a stunning part of the world but, yes. it did not break, it was fine and i did insist that the president of the bridge stand on the same bed of glass, just in case. went to san francisco looking for start ups they're going to change the world. yeah, we did. we tooka they're going to change the world. yeah, we did. we took a few quid with us to find a started to invest in because that's how it was done backin in because that's how it was done back in 2007. who did we see not give money to. we did give the money

to twitter. electric cars and electric motors reallyjust meant golf buggies. it was a small start up golf buggies. it was a small start up and it was called tesla and they invited us along and for me to try literally the third car that they made it we took it for a spin. literally the third car that they made it we took it for a spinm has a good pedigree, ultralight carbon fibre body is designed and based on the elite and thanks to new battery technology, it can go three times as fast as the car while he built. the first hundreds of these will be rolling silently off the production line in october. did you have any idea of the success of the tesla was blue i had an inkling and i'll tell you why you did, because

the performance. tesla always went out from the get—go the performance. tesla always went out from the get-go to say, we're not talking about golf carts, we are talking serious performance cars and they captured the imagination of the public. after dan, he has done a lot of stuff for us, but her favourite moments that time she went on a vr roller coaster while on a real roller coaster while on a real roller coaster. seriously, do not ask. she has been spending locked down as only she could. hello everyone! i've been immersed in music among other things, i got really into style transfer where you mix two songs together and i can do over without computers and so how would an ai over without computers and so how would an aldo. i programmed them to sing let it go from frozen and call me maybe. so, hang on, this is the

beatles doing that? sampling tiny parts of audio for moving the beatles ever made and then picks out things it thinks fits and it's based on training models and takes up to nine models to make this one minute of music and so i was heavily supervising the model every four seconds into the early hours of the morning and it was also an exercise in endurance. that is so you ai in music, how more you could that be was white it has been said that once you join click, you never really leave and that means that a couple of the newest members of our team have actually been with us for quite a while and that's crossed of them now, please welcome omar and paul

carter. hello. taking something from all the way from 2018? yes, me at omarwent to all the way from 2018? yes, me at omar went to switzerland to check out some new technology. detecting heating buildings and i was really pleased to see the firefighters. they may not be the first to come to mind when thinking of fire. but it's a presently advanced when it comes to firefighting technology. for example, the only country in europe to have a firefighting train. the cabin is actually pressure is on the event of a fire, the operators have safe breathing.

i was over there working my socks off and a turnaround at to see him grinning from ear to year. just living to being on the train, is the most wholesome thing ever. let's turn to omar! the love stink room with all technology and he has been about speakers, game boys and also a furby origin, have like 30 of them is playing music with it there was really weird. this is 30 game boys and it sounds like an orchestra for instance,. but after a quick modification, this doesn't play game boys anymore. those very close! did

you squeal there? we were testing out the flame—thrower and it went so big that it singed his hair and i was genuinely fearful like, ok, let's calm down a little bit. 15 yea rs let's calm down a little bit. 15 years ago you was already a thing but people could making huge careers just didn't seem real the time, didn't it was white we saw a video showing them around the world to people making chris getting so big, floyd mayweatherjunior people making chris getting so big, floyd mayweather junior fighting a youtube or soon that's based off the back of his fame that he developed online, you can actually build a proper career out of this it's only going up and up like there's no end. thank you so much. next up isjen,

welcome. good to see you, jim joined us welcome. good to see you, jim joined us in 2013 and has been super busy over the past year especially. covering health pieces during the pandemic, she's been all over the world to israel, las vegas, china, how it all been for you? it's been lovely to see everyone today. my favourite shows of been in china, some incredible technology that i've seen some incredible technology that i've seen variants on amazing things begin to sports with robots. robot is designed to be as much as a human player as possible. it's either hd cameras and these computers and prediction data on where it will fall back to the robot near a bluetooth. there is still, they are taking part in competitions in these different companies across china for

developing these robots that we competitions. nice to see you all! this is been a blast and we've made up this is been a blast and we've made up of past her 20th birthday into the toughest time i think any of us have ever seen laura, thank you, you are like, the best co—host i could've wished for. now, this is just a very short taste of our live show, you can get a slightly full of flavour and iplayer. if you have a restful and peaceful time off and if you can, here's to 2021 and thank you can, here's to 2021 and thank you for watching and we will see you soon. you for watching and we will see you soon. goodbye. hello, there. 2021 began on a chilly note and it will continue in that vein for the next, well, probably five to ten days, for the most part.

and as well as that, the jet stream remains relatively weak, mostly to the west and to the south of us, which means we won't see any huge areas of low pressure coming in but importantly we'll stay to the northern side of the jet so we are in the cold air. there is just a chance that we might see a little something from the atlantic towards the middle of the week but it doesn't look as if it will last long. so, it stays cold, we think, with frost and ice problems and further rain, sleet and snow, with slight complications. so, the subtle change in sunday's high—pressure building to the north so the wind direction changes so the distribution of the showers changes. again, focused on central and eastern areas but more so for the south—east and east anglia, the channel islands, perhaps fewer across the western side of wales, and south—west england. the best of the sunshine is going to be in the west but where ever you are, it is a cold day again, accentuated by a strengthening north—easterly wind, which stays with us, not just through sunday

but through much of monday and tuesday, so dragging in moisture off the north sea, fuelling those showers which will fall as snow, even at lower levels in the heavier showers. another cold start on monday. perhaps something a little more organised in terms of rain and sleet for east anglia, the south—east and the channel islands. snow, if it falls more heavily as well, and wintry showers elsewhere in the east. but again, like sunday, it is a keen north—easterly wind so it will make it feel raw. temperatures on your thermometer will get between perhaps four and six celsius, even with the sunshine. in the north and west, not much higher but you add on the effect of the wind and it will feel substantially colder. as i say, a raw day if you are out and about, particularly with all the cloud across central and eastern areas and that more persistent rain and sleet which continues as we go through monday night and into tuesday as well. still, a pestering of showers. butjust perhaps things start to get a little less windy through the day on tuesday. still that risk of something more persistent in southern and eastern areas, some wintry showers elsewhere, but towards

the north—west, perhaps ourfirst complication coming in. still a cold day, in fact quite raw once again if you're caught in the wind, but come wednesday, we may well see low pressure just approaching from the north—west, which will bring in some rain. as it comes into the cold air, some sleet and snow. still, look at the temperatures, it is another cold day. ice continues to be an issue, where we've had the showers and the surfaces are damp, perhaps the fault as well. but during wednesday and thursday, we mightjust see this area of low pressure, a fairly weak affair, but nevertheless, you don't need heavy rain to turn to snow to start to see a centimetre or two settling. so, yes, we might have a band of rain, sleet, snow pushing its way southwards through wednesday and thursday, but it's still cold air, it doesn't really elevate those temperatures much. so again, as i say, there are some complications with the forecast. how long does this area of low pressure hang around for, for example, before it slips southwards? but it still influences us in southern areas with perhaps

higher pressure returning to the north. but the jury is out, the computer models are not agreeing on the position of the high and that low, but what they do agree on at the moment is that it stays cold. it's just that we could have some spells of more persistent rain, sleet and snow. so, it's certainly a week to watch, and the weekend as well. there is more detail, including the warnings, online.

this is bbc news i'm ben bland — with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a group of republican senators say they will support president trump who refuses to accept the official result of the us presidential election. in india, tens of thousands of health workers take part in a one day mass immunisation rehearsal. meanwhile in the uk — as coronavirus cases surge, teaching unions in england demand a two—week closure of primary and secondary schools. and in northern france — after clashes and arrests and fears of a riot, police shut down an illegal rave 36 hours after it started.
