are saying now... business is made up are saying now... business is made up of £9,000 grants to companies in the worst affected areas, i think it's retail, leisure and hospitality. there are two questions. firstly, is it enough or will you see companies going under simply because they're not getting enough from the government? equally worrying for the chancellor is, am i giving grants to firms that are going to go under anyway? is this sufficiently well targeted ? the going to go under anyway? is this sufficiently well targeted? the fact of the matter is no one knows the answer until we start emerging out of the public health crisis, but either way, we're headed of the public health crisis, but eitherway, we're headed in of the public health crisis, but either way, we're headed in the direction of a significant unemployment crisis i fear. the next phase will start to be thinking about that. whatever measures he's put in place today, it's not can i manage to save all the businesses he trying to save. vi focuses on —— vi. one in 50, a

picture of a nurse injecting someone who might be over 80. pippa, i don't know if you've studied the government's ambition, 2 million jobs to week to get 30 million people jabbed. they would have to knock off 1.9 million jabs a week. it's a massive logistical undertaking and there are lots of people who have looked at the undertakings the government has embarked on in the last year, and purse perhaps quite sceptical. obviously, the vaccines are the silver lining to all of this grimness as we start the year, and the oxford extra junk vaccine has been approved for use —— oxford astrazeneca vaccine. but the prime

minister set himself that target when he announced the third lockdown of having 1a million people, the four most vulnerable categories. elderly, those in care homes, clinically actually vulnerable and front line nhs workers. absolutely fantastic if we can get there, but we do wonder if it's another promise. this might be a harsh comment of the government, but if it but it sort out exam results, how might it sorted out all the jabs? well, one might hope that a lot more hope has gone into this and been planned for many weeks, if not months. it's a massively ambitious target. i think we vaccinated 1.3 million so far, so it leaves us north of 12 million. but we've all

took hope it works. we've got to ci’oss out took hope it works. we've got to cross our fingers despite natural cynicism and hope they manage to use any means to get this done. again, the record so far in this pandemic is ofa the record so far in this pandemic is of a prime minister who has over promised time and time again who's have to come back and roll back on some of those promises, i think this time if he does so, the consequences will be more severe politically, because this has been the justification behind the harsh measures. we'll do this, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. people want to see that light and will be expecting this to work. pippa, you are nodding.|j will be expecting this to work. pippa, you are nodding. i agree that it's both... it's much more... it's almost like a bigger promise to make because this is the exit strategy vaccine, and it's also politically within the tory party, the justification with opposing these

measures. lots of mps don't like these ideas, but because they have this promise of the vaccine, it's kind of bearing with it. they plough on and accept it, but if the government doesn't deliver, i think a bit of slippage is expected, but if there was some massive disaster when it comes to rolling out the vaccine, i think it would be really serious for the country. let's look at the daily tell a. —— the daily tell a. questions over roll—out urgency. i should put this ina roll—out urgency. i should put this in a wider context. france have been serious criticism —— the daily

telegraph. this is not exclusive to britain. as the prime minister is very, very keen to emphasise, data shows we are doing far better in terms of expectations we rolled the vaccine out first. this is an interesting story. i'm sure there's more to it than given on the front page, but this is pharmacies offering to lend a hand to the government and say every year, we give the flu vaccine. we can help with the covid vaccine as well. apparently having been told no by the government, it's interesting, i'd love to know the reason why, but it seems they're on the surface what the story is saying here is loads of spare capacity to speed up the roll—out. but the government 's no. i'm sure we'll hear more. we're going to look at another story. picture of donald trump presumably

in rally mode or listening to queen 01’ in rally mode or listening to queen or the rolling stones. " nicola sturgeon says you can'tjust come and play golf. scotland is closed at the moment. pippa, you keep a close eye on the movement of senior government officials. if you can't go to scotland, where should you go? i think nicola sturgeon is right, the only exit she's looking forfrom donald right, the only exit she's looking for from donald trump right, the only exit she's looking forfrom donald trump is from right, the only exit she's looking for from donald trump is from the white house. let's get that done first. there are lots of rumours about plans he might have to stay put rather than stepping down when joe biden is inaugurated. i think he is going to be dry kicking and screaming from the oval office —— dragged kicking and screaming. if he
10:52 pm
can't come to scotland, they obviously don't want anybody to travel from overseas, then i suspect he'll end up in his golf course or one of his many golf courses in the states instead. probably a better result for all of us. anand, i don't know if you keep an i on people's movements as closely, but what do you think will happen to donald trump after january? moving you think will happen to donald trump afterjanuary? moving day for mrtrump. trump afterjanuary? moving day for mr trump. my hunch is that quite soon after inauguration day, president trump will announce his candidacy for the next presidential election in 2024. i have to say one thing, which is in a year of bizarre and surreal images, the images of him trying to dance to ymca. and surreal images, the images of him trying to dance to ymcai and surreal images, the images of him trying to dance to ymca. i said the rolling stones, i apologise! we

interviewed the lead singer of the village people recently. 's been seared onto my memory from the american presidential election, and i expect trump intends to do it again. just to say mr trump was holding a save america rally on wednesday. that's the date in which these votes are finally counted. is that it for all the president's rejection of the results the days are —— of the day the votes are counted? he said his vice president could declare them invalid. it's a dangerous campaign because it undermines american democracy, and joe biden has been the biggest popular vote in any us election in history. so, we kind ofjoke about

donald trump leaving the white out but it's very serious actually —— leaving the white house. i suspect ultimately, he will go. there will be more legal challenges, but it'll probably slow his energy into what happens in four years time. we haven't seen the end of him and i suspect we might see big fundraising events, the trump dynasty will still be very much on the radar as well, particularly eve anke —— ivanka. he's not leaving public i. thank you to you both so much. that's it for the papers. we'll be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered by newspapers and websites here. goodbye for now.

hello. what is it. it's happening at the moment way above the architect on the edge of the atmosphere. a pool of cold air circulating by some anticlockwise wins. that vortex tests split in as those winds weekend, it may start to have an influence further down. and it's been known in the past to bring us some pretty severe winter weather here in the uk at the back end of winter. but before you get too excited by scenes like the, it doesn't always happen, and certainly, over the next ten days, the opposite is about to occur. out there at the moment, the cold weather we've had is just fairly standard winter weather. we've had easterly winds, which continue through wednesday. going a bit more northeasterly through the day, and the impact

of that will actually clear some of the showers we've seen lingering across east anglia and the southeast, producing some minorflooding. the showers will continue in the channel islands, one or two wintry showers elsewhere after a pretty frosty and icy start to the day. most, though, will have a predominantly dry and bright wednesday, but still cold, particularly so where we could see some lingering fog patches. later in the day, a weather pushes in to the northwest of scotland, preceded by some snow. that could give a covering in parts of scotland, northern ireland some icy conditions with temperatures just below freezing, but southern scotland into northern and western england and wales, and especially cold start to thursday morning with some dense patches of fog which could linger through the day as well. our weatherfront by this stage will be across southern scotland, northern ireland, still producing a covering of sleet and snow in places, pushing slowly into the far north of england later in the day. either side of that, some sunshine, a few lingering fog patches and some snow showers continue in the far north of scotland. at this stage, still cold, too — three celsius at best, some staying below freezing. our weatherfront then pushes southwards through england and wales through thursday night into friday. there could be a slight dusting of snow just about anywhere
10:57 pm
on friday across england and wales, nothing too significant. another frosty start for many, some fog towards the south and east. dry and bright through much of scotland and northern ireland, plenty of sunshine here. temperatures still 2—5 c at their warmest. then, as we go into the weekend, we start to see changes. this high pressure has a little bit more influence, particularly across the southern half of the country. so, a frosty, and in places, icy start for england and wales. lots of sunshine, though, to get the weekend under way. just one or two isolated showers in the east, but as that high pressure sinks southwards, a bit more of a breeze developing across parts of scotland and northern ireland, introducing more rain, a few spots of rain in the north and west, more cloud and temperatures starting to rise. and as that high pressure continues to sink a little bit further southwards, we've got more of a westerly wind pushing in as we head into sunday, and that will start to lift the temperatures for many. still cold across the south. frosty start for the vast majority on sunday, but plenty of sunshine here. always a bit more cloud further north. sunny spells, wettest weather
10:58 pm
in parts of scotland, but temperatures by this stage around 5—7 celsius, getting closerto where we should be for the time of year. then as we go into next week, it looks that atlantic influence will continue even more, pushing rain at times to the north and west, but high pressure always dominant the further south you are, so always staying drier here. and it does mean that whilst we will continue to see some overnight frosts at times, even some fog patches, too, things will be slightly milder than they have been of late, but a little bit windy at times in the north. more details on that and more on the sudden stratospheric warning online.
