transition of power. to those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country, and to those who broke the law, you will pay. wales has extended its lockdown by another three weeks with schools and colleges there remaining closed to most pupils until the february half term. and coming up, as the coronavirus vaccine roll—out ramps up we'll be speaking to a pharmaceutical logistics expert about the challenges of distributing the vaccines across the uk. good morning and welcome to bbc

news. people arriving into the uk will soon have to provide a negative coronavirus test in order to enter the country. arrivals, including uk nationals will have to take a test 72 hours before they are due to leave the country they are in. it will apply whether you're arriving by boat, train or plane. those exempt from the new rules will include hauliers and children under the age of 11, and people travelling within the uk or ireland. the measures are expected to start as early as next week. anyone who fails to comply with the new regulations will be subject to a £500 fine. it comes after months of pressure on the government from the travel industry. our transport correspondent, caroline davies reports. booths ready to test arrivals at heathrow airport. this scheme was ready to go, but never given the green light by the government. until today's announcement, the uk has not required anyone arriving in the country to show that they have recently tested negative for the coronavirus. but things are about to change. from next week, international arrivals, including uk nationals, travelling to england and scotland

will need to show that they have a negative covid—19 test, taken up to 72 hours before they travel. it applies to everyone arriving by boat, plane or train, but not to hauliers or children under 11, and it won't apply to anyone travelling within the uk or ireland. even with a negative test, arrivals from countries not on the travel corridor list will still have to quarantine. many in the aviation industry have been calling for testing since april last year. they hope that, in the long term, testing can be used instead of quarantine. is this all too late? we would have liked to see it earlier. what it demonstrates is that there is a way that we can fly safely and show that we are not either importing or exporting a risk of infection between countries. without the testing regime, the only thing we have is quarantine measures, and that, you know, many people cannot fly and go away on holiday if they then have to quarantine for two weeks when they come back, so it's really crucial for us if we're going to see any kind

of return to normality. the government has previously said that policies like the travel corridors, quarantining, and the test to release programme have helped manage imported infections, but with new variants of the virus, it's clear the government wants to go further. caroline davies, bbc news. our political correspondent jonathan blake is at westminster. good morning. why is the government doing this now when the travel industry has been asking for this sort of scheme for most of last year? yes, it's been something the government has resisted doing for some time, arguing that it wouldn't really make much difference to test travellers coming into the uk, either at the border or before they fly, either at the border or before they fly, given the virus was already here and circulating widely. i think what has changed things is the discovery of new variants of the

virus and of particular concern to ministers is the one that has been discovered in south africa. there is a concern that it could, if it ends up a concern that it could, if it ends up here in the uk and ends up taking hold and circulating more widely, could reduce the efficacy, the efficiency, of the vaccines that are being administered, with the impetus the government has placed on the vaccine and of course the crucial nature of that in allowing the government to lift restrictions and potentially get life back to something like normal at some point, thatis something like normal at some point, that is something the government just doesn't want to risk. that's why this extra measure of a test that will be required for all travellers, barring a few exceptions, coming into england and scotla nd exceptions, coming into england and scotland at first but ultimately the whole of the uk, is now required. speaking on uk breakfast this morning, the transport secretary grant shapps explained more about why the government decided to do this now.

what we're trying to do now is stop a new variant, which isn't established here, from coming here. and this is the south african variant, where the scientists are very concerned about the ability of the vaccine to tackle the south african variant. so we have done this today, and i notice the canadians, the prime ministerjustin trudeau there, has done exactly the same thing as us, actually overnight, also introducing a 72 hour test. also in addition to the quarantine measures, which remain in place. you mentioned the travel industry has been calling for this for some time. this may not be the outcome they wanted, though, because this is being introduced in addition to quarantine requirements. just because you can prove you have a negative test coming into the uk, it doesn't mean you won't have to follow the advice or requirement, rather, to quarantine for ten days or five days if you have a positive test before that. so it's really an extra barrier for people to travel, that's how some will see it, an extra requirement placed on people

coming into the uk and it won't make it any easier for international travel to happen, and that's what the travel industry has been calling for. i think it's seen very much as an extra layer of protection against the new variants of coronavirus coming into the uk and not something thatis coming into the uk and not something that is designed to allow the free flow of people in and out and make travel internationally any easier at this time. jonathan blake, thank you. let's speak to our business presenter, ben thompson. let's find out more about what the travel industry thinks. what reaction have you been hearing? it's possible this announcement throws up more questions than answers?m possible this announcement throws up more questions than answers? it was ever thus. the industry has been calling for this for months. i have been speaking to the boss of heathrow airport and they say they first called for this plant back in april of last year and it has taken almost ten months for that to come to fruition. he has described it as

a belt and braces approach. as jonathan was telling us, this testing regime will come on top of those mandatory quarantine rules so when you return to the uk, whether you have a test or not and whether that test is negative or not, you still need to isolate for ten days. or if you use the test and release system, you can get out after five days. nonetheless, it is very complicated for travellers to know exactly what they need to do. he has also been calling for a more coordinated and joined up international approach so everyone knows where they stand and everyone knows where they stand and everyone knows what the rules are. because whilst the uk says it will come into force next week, we still have a lot of u na nswered force next week, we still have a lot of unanswered questions. we don't know exactly what date, we don't know exactly what date, we don't know which tests will be accepted and which clinics will be able to administer the tests. what happens if you are overseas and submit the test but it doesn't come back in time for yourflight? test but it doesn't come back in time for your flight? what if it comes back and do you are positive, what happens then, do you stay in

the country or at the airport, do you have a hotel to stay out? big questions over capacity as well. international travel is down significantly. heathrow airport, and other airports across the country are operating at a much reduced capacity, not least because we are in lockdown restrictions where international travel is all but ruled out. but if we are able to get out of these lockdown restrictions and resume some sort of travel, will the system cope, will there be enough tests and will services be able to get results back to us in time for ourflight? able to get results back to us in time for our flight? there are many u na nswered time for our flight? there are many unanswered questions this morning, even though the government says this rule, in from next week, much of the industry is now asking for a more coordinated and joined up international approach so everyone knows where they stand and everyone knows where they stand and everyone knows what the rules are. because whilst the uk says it will come into force next week, we still have a lot

of u na nswered force next week, we still have a lot of unanswered questions. we don't know exactly what to date, we don't know exactly what to date, we don't know which h tests will be accepted and which clinics will be able to administer the tests. what happens if you are overseas and submit the test but it doesn't come back in time for yourflight? test but it doesn't come back in time for your flight? what if it comes back and you are positive, what happens then, do you stay in the country or at the airport, do you have a hotel to stay at? big questions overcapacity as well. international travel is down significantly. heathrow airport, and other airports across the country are operating at a much reduced capacity, not least because we are in lockdown restrictions where international travel is all but ruled out. but if we are able to get out of these lockdown restrictions and resume some sort of travel, will the system cope, will there be enough tests and will services be able to get results back to us in time for ourflight? able to get results back to us in time for our flight? there are many u na nswered time for our flight? there are many unanswered questions this morning, even though the government says this rule come in from next week, much of the industry is now asking for clarity on how it will another question for you and i appreciate you might not have the answer but i will ask anyway, what happens if you wa nt to will ask anyway, what happens if you want to travel into doesn't have the testing infrastructure from another country that doesn't have the testing infrastructure in place? have been getting a lot of questions from viewers about that sort of thing this morning. perhaps a lot of airports will have facilities in place either when you arrive or depart. there are also questions about whether you have the test 72 hours before, what can you then do, can you go about life as normal? the

transport secretary said this morning, that's ok and you can be out and about a lot of other countries have been doing this test already. you have to have a test before you leave, and then run within 48 hours of arriving. the uk is not going that far, but they say it's one they want to avoid that mutant strain, particularly one in south africa. alongside current quarantine rules in place, they say that should be enough to prevent further infection but nonetheless i think lots of unanswered questions. there seem to be some holes in the system at the moment of the industry wa nts to system at the moment of the industry wants to be clarified and tightened up. asi wants to be clarified and tightened up. as i heard from the boss of heathrow earlier, he says there needs to be a coordinated international response and it needs to bea international response and it needs to be a new standard so everybody knows where they stand, whether they are travel firms, airlines, check—in staff or the public. he has had a number of people turning up at check in with a test they thought was valid and it turns out it isn't, so

he wants to say a proper coordinated international response so everybody knows where they stand and make sure they can travel more easily and get they can travel more easily and get the travel industry back off the ground. ben thompson, thank you. i will be speaking to the boss of heathrow after 10am. and also to a travel consultant at 9:30am and putting some more of those many questions to them. now to the united states. a police officer has died from injuries suffered when supporters of donald trump stormed congress, bringing the number of lives lost in the riots to five. brian sicknick was hurt "while physically engaging with protesters", according to police. he later collapsed and was taken to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. it comes as president trump condemned his supporters who stormed washington's capitol building yesterday, calling it a "heinous attack". in a video message posted to twitter following a 12—hour ban from the site, mr trump adopted a different and more unifying tone, calling for reconciliation and healing. he also repeated his pledge of an orderly transition of power to president—electjoe biden.

our north america correspondent peter bowes has more. the clean—up continues in washington, but this is a mess that won't be brushed under the carpet. the country has been shaken to the core. mob violence at the heart of american government. condemnation of the violence was slow to come from one branch of government, the white house, but more than 24 hours after the capitol building was ransacked, donald trump's tone has changed. in a new video, the president condemns what he calls the heinous attack, saying he's outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem. the demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol have defiled the seat of american democracy. to those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. and to those who broke the law, you will pay. the president defends his decision to challenge the election results,

but he doesn't repeat his unfounded claims that the process was rigged. two members of the cabinet have now resigned, blaming mr trump for the violence. the latest is the education secretary, betsy devos, who said there was no mistaking the impact the president's rhetoric had had on the situation. mr trump's comments will do little to persuade his opponents, including some republicans, that he's still fit to hold office. leading democrats in congress have urged mike pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment and remove him from the white house. but according to an adviser, the vice president opposes the idea. politicians from both the major parties have said if the president can't be removed, he could be impeached for a second time. the president's abuse of power, his incitement of a mob against a duly elected representative body of the united states, is a manifestly impeachable offence.

if there ever was an impeachable offence, what the president did was it. but the clock is ticking on donald trump's presidency. he'll be out in 12 days, whenjoe biden takes over. mr trump has pledged that it will be a smooth and orderly transition of power. but many americans are nervous about what could happen between now and then. the tension in the country is palpable. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine is a "national challenge" on a scale never seen before — that's according to the prime minister. 1.5 million people have now received a jab, but borisjohnson says there's likely to be some difficulties ahead with the programme. john maguire has been speaking to some of those who've already been vaccinated. as the uk rolls up its sleeves, the mass vaccination programme is gathering pace. to protect as many people

as possible, as quickly as possible, and, in a change of policy, planned second jabs for patients are being delayed, effectively doubling the number of doses for the short term. i think that from a public health perspective, to have twice the number of people with some immunity is better than having half the number with full immunity, and that is the rationale behind the change in dose. although i know that is very uncomfortable for some people, and particularly some patients are very anxious about this. broadcaster and campaigner dame esther rantzen has had her second pfizerjab delayed, but says she is happy to wait. i was rung up yesterday and told it was going and told it was going to be delayed according to government instructions, i think she said, and i said,

"i just want to tell you that i am very relieved, "i would be delighted if my second jab went to somebody "who really needs it." i'm sheltering myself, i'm not meeting anyone, but there are people that have to go out and about, whether it's health care professionals or people in supermarkets or delivery people, and i hope one of them has got myjab instead of me. even once the booster has been given time to work, the patient is protected against illness, but may still carry the virus and pass it on to others. at this immunisation centre in gloucestershire, four gp surgeries have combined and have given first doses to all of their over—80s. if supplies can keep up, they aim to protect people down to their 50s before the end of next month. that's ahead of the prime minister's target covering the highest risk groups down to the over—70s. so far, almost 1.5 million have had theirfirstjab. let's be clear, this is a national challenge on a scale like nothing we have seen before,

and it will require an unprecedented national effort, and of course, there will be difficulties. appointments will be changed. but as brigadier prosser will explain shortly, the army is working hand in glove with the nhs and local councils to set up a vaccine network, and using battle preparation techniques to help us keep up the pace. the world health organization has warned against extending the gap between the two pfizer doses to 12 weeks, arguing that six should be the maximum. suzi stenbridge is hoping to receive her bristol next week. to receive hers next week. you had your first jab just before christmas. yes, and i felt as if i was walking on air, we came out of the surgery feeling absolutely fantastic, thinking this will be a way out of this, and let's hope it gets going very quickly. and then i got a bit alarmed when they started

talking about putting it back to 12 weeks. at last night's downing street briefing, the size and the scale of the vaccination programme was laid out. frankly, we need a huge acceleration if we are over the next five weeks going to vaccinate more people than we typically vaccinate over five months during a winter flu programme. we've got 39 days to do it, and so the plan for the next 39 days has these three essential components. first of all, expanding the supply of vaccines that we can administer. secondly, more places doing the jabbing. and thirdly, the nhs expanding the number of people and the partnerships who are helping us get the job done. so as gp surgeries, pharmacies and football grounds come online, the challenge, and it's a massive one, will be to match supply with huge demand. science, logistics and

determination must all combine to defeat nature and to beat the pandemic. john maguire, bbc news. well, we can speak now from cambridge to amy shortman — director at overhaul — a global healthca re risk management company who are working directly with companies who are distributing the vaccines. good to have you with us. when the brigadier at the downing street briefing yesterday said vaccine is needed to be in arms and not sitting in boxes on shelves, what part do you play in the process of making that happen? we are a risk management and visibility platform and we make sure the products that are leaving from manufacturer getting all the way through the distribution and supply chain, through distribution centres, and on the last mile journey, are monitored, protected and risk managed in real time. we have heard a lot about the temperature of these

vaccines, which is nothing new for our industry. we have been shipping deep frozen and refrigerated eight vaccines globally many years. —— 228 vaccines. but temperature is not the only risk in moving and transporting vaccines around. there's also additional risk from a security theft and theft point of view. and then also, just to keep the continuity of the supply chain flowing and the vaccines on schedule and making sure the doctors surgeries are filled with vaccines on schedule, we need to make sure there are no issues with the actual logistics and transportation movements. that's really what we monitor and manage in real time for customers. those are the risks you have identified so how do you go about identifying those? i guess you don't want to talk too much about addressing security risks, but what can you tell us about that particular aspect of what you do? what we do is leverage data and

technology, so we have heard a lot about temperature monitoring devices. that's one form of data we bring into our system. others would be telemetry, information we get from vehicles, delivery drivers can have apps and we bring that together, including from a global distributional point of view, things like flight data as well. we bring all that together, and what our system is doing, every transportation of medicines has to adhere to certain procedures. our system has algorithms that measures any nonconformance is against that. it picks up and detects in things that are potentially going wrong, and that could be a delivery to a wrong address, which could cause huge issues from a time and temperature sensitive point of view, for the product, and it corrects those in real time, so that is using technology in a very innovative way to support and manage those risks in real—time and proactively. to support and manage those risks in real-time and proactively. in terms of the level of preparedness, the existing preparedness of view,, for

the product, and it corrects those in realtime, so the product, and it corrects those in real time, so that is using technology in a very innovative way to support and manage those risks in real time and proactively. in terms of the level of preparedness, the existing preparedness and, the transport industry and so on, talk a bit more army on and presumably you will work with the army on this. bit more army on and presumably you will work with the army on thism have pretty much gold standards and are recognised within the industry for the work they have done in implementing good distribution practice in medicinal products so any medicinal products being delivered and used within our country, we have sets of standards that have to be adhered to by all the parties who are moving and handling those products. that has beenin handling those products. that has been in place for many years and that's where the focus has been, distribution and logistics. so we are very well set up for all supply chain partners to understand how they should be moving products and how they should be handling them. i think that, combined with making sure those procedures that have been set up in place are done on a per shipment basis is very important. what we want is safe and effective products to reach the patient and we

know that with time and temperature sensitive, any issues that can occur within the supply chain might have an impact on the product, so that is what we are looking to prevent every step of the way. briefly, vaccines and their safe delivery is always important but i guess in this insta nce important but i guess in this instance the scale and the need for this vaccine to allow people to open up this vaccine to allow people to open up their lives again, it has never been more important. yes, we are very used to dealing with this type of product and moving it globally with supply chains around the world. the difference here is the sheer scale and intensity of moving it. that's where we have to make sure the supply chains are as smooth and risk managed as possible because any delay of a shipment that may be goes outside of temperature and then can't be used is going to have an impact on the overall vaccination programme so it is critical and our supply chain partners are working very hard, as they always have, including delivery drivers. and i think we are very well set up, particularly in this country and what the mhra have done in terms of

planning for distribution companies to handle these types of materials, so we are in a good place. it'sjust the sheer scale, it is a challenge, and those additional risks out there from supply chain security theft, and normal logistics challenges are a lwa ys and normal logistics challenges are always there. thank you very much. the national lockdown in wales will continue for at least three more weeks, with schools likely to remain closed until the february half—term. first minister mark drakeford says that although coronavirus case rates have fallen since the lockdown was introduced in december, some measures may need to be strengthened. the numbers of people falling ill with coronavirus in wales are still too high. numbers in some parts of wales are rising where the new variant has taken hold. and the number of people in our hospitals continues to be beyond the levels that we saw earlier in 2020. so for all those reasons, we need to continue the regime we've had here in wales since before

christmas, and where we can, to intensify it even further. our correspondent mark hutchings is in cardiff for us. i can't ican‘t imagine i can't imagine anyone in wales is surprised by the news. no, i think it's a conclusion that had foregone written all over it, really. the first minister referring their to the hospital figures and also a concern, particularly in north—east wales where this new variant seems to have been transmitting rather sharply. there is no real surprise, either, i don't think, about the decision on schools, as unwelcome as it might be for many pupils and families. only on monday we were told that schools would be staying close to most pupils until at least january 18. it's now until at least january 18. it's now until at least january 29 and more likely until after the february half term unless

transmission rates come down significantly. another notable development, the welsh government say they are looking at bringing in extra measures, particularly in big food stores and supermarkets to make them safer and protect staff and their customers more. it's one of their customers more. it's one of the few places people are going at the few places people are going at the moment. some details are going to emerge over the next few days about the extra measures they are looking at. how is the vaccine roll—out going there? looking at. how is the vaccine roll-out going there? more slowly than some people would have wanted it to be. the first minister says it is the pathway out of the pandemics. his critics say its a pathway we should be hurrying along rather more quickly than we currently are. figures out yesterday show wales was behind other uk nations in terms of the pace of the roll—out. the hope is the delivery of the oxford vaccine will speed things up rather quickly. we know that in the meantime, in the next three weeks we have an extra dollop of lockdown. march coaching is in cardiff, thank

you. —— mark hutchings. tougher restrictions have come into force in northern ireland today, preventing people from leaving their homes without good reason. under the new regulations, people should only be outside for limited activities, such as shopping for essentials, excercising or going to the doctor. a rise in covid patients has also forced some hospitals to cancel urgent operations. our ireland correspondent chris page is in belfast for us. how has this stay at home order being enforced, and how is the vaccine roll—out going in northern ireland? northern ireland is being more tightly locked down today. there will be more police on the streets and on the roads we are told in order to enforce the new law. as of midnight it became illegalfor you to leave your home without a reasonable excuse, and those excuses include food shopping, medical appointments, taking exercise, and you are allowed to do that with one member of one of the household. the

number of people gathering outdoors has been cut from 15 down to six. from now on, outdoor gatherings of up from now on, outdoor gatherings of up to six people can only be allowed from two households. businesses, nonessential shops and hospitality have been shut since boxing day, this is the second week of a six week lockdown a. the reason why stormont executive members have decided to tighten requirements is because hospitals are under pressure. belfast hospitals have decided to cancel cancer operations, even urgent one so we understand health care officials are looking at how other northern irish health care administrations can take a network. it is not one in 60 people here have the virus. it could be up to one in 40 in some areas. doctors expect hundreds more people to administered

in hospital in the coming weeks. just one glimmer of hope among the dire statistics, and that's in the last two or three days there have been signs the infection rate is dropping, although it is still at a very high level. fingers crossed it continues on that trajectory. i was going to ask about the situation with schools as we were discussing in wales will stop any updates about that? schools have moved to remote learning until the february half term, they had been planning to do that this week anyway but earlier this week the stormont executive agreed learning should go on for longer and one controversial aspect of this here, most primary school pupils here sit a test to gain entry to grammar school in the first of those tests was meant to take place tomorrow but it has now been changed from three papers into one and it is planned that will be sat on the seventh beggary depending on the

situation although within the executive, when ministers will be meeting, it is thought that could be put to a vote with some parties, particularly since then, anti—academic selection altogether whereas others are like the dup are in favour of it so that has been a very contentious issue politically. as far as the vaccine roll—out is concerned, that is something all the parties agree on, they say they will try to get it out as speedily as possible put it so far it seems to be going well, more than 50,000 people have had theirjabs which is about 2.7% of the population. chris, thank you very much from belfast. looking for the sun in belfast but chile. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. woolly hat weather today? definitely! they have sunshine in scotla nd definitely! they have sunshine in scotland and northern ireland, england and wales are misty and snowy, critical in northern england, north west midlands and wales, a dusting of snow this morning and

afternoon, up to ten centimetres on higher ground. it could turn to rain and sleet at lower levels at times. further south and east, some snowfla kes further south and east, some snowflakes but only a slight dusting at most, grey and misty across much of and wales, sunny in scotland and northern ireland but cold, one or two celsius for most point of the snow fades away overnight, moving south and west would the clearing skies, where the snow is on the ground, a cold night in southern scotla nd ground, a cold night in southern scotland and northern england it could go down to —12 degrees. frost and ice about anywhere tomorrow morning fog in the south but a lot of dry and bright weather for england and wales, cloudy in scotla nd england and wales, cloudy in scotland and northern ireland, rain at times in western scotland. hello this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. the headlines... people arriving into the uk will soon have to provide a negative

coronavirus test in order to enter the country. what we're trying to do now is stop a new variant, which isn't established here, from coming here. and this is the south african variant, where the scientists are very concerned about the ability of the vaccine to tackle the south african variant. the us president donald trump finally issues a statement, saying he condemns the storming of the us capitol by his supporters and committing to an "orderly" transition of power. to those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country, and to those who broke the law, you will pay. wales has extended its lockdown by another three weeks, with schools and colleges there remaining closed to most pupils until the february half term. sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's mike bushell.

i know you are looking at the impact of covid on the fa cup but any update on that? yes, it is an ever evolving situation. it's normally one of the highlights of the football year, but the coronavirus pandemic is starting to have a big impact on fa cup third round weekend. southampton's game against shrewsbury is already off. and aston villa are dealing with what's been described as a "significant" outbreak of covid within their squad. they've closed their training ground, and are due to play liverpool in the fa cup tonight. non of villa's first team squad will be involved, and manager dean smith won't be there either, so the club are planning to put out a team of young players instead. a final decision on whether the game will go ahead at all will be made later. the women's super league has also been affected. man city against west ham and arsenal's game against aston villa are off after players from city and arsenal tested positive for the virus following separate trips to dubai over christmas. the head of women's football for the fa, dame sue campbell, has expressed her dismay

with the players involved. when you see the pressures that everybody is under here, whether at the national health service orjust people really struggling with mental wellness at home because of the pandemic, i think it is important everything are one of us acts as a role model. australia's steve smith has scored a long awaited century on the second day of the third test against india. he hit 131 at the sydney cricket ground, his first test century since the ashes series in england back in september 2019. there was a big score too for marnus labuschagne, who got 91, as australia finished their first innings on 338. india are 96—2 in reply. now back to the fa cup, and of all the third round ties that take place this weekend, one ticks all the boxes for capturing the unique magic of the competition. the refuse collectors, painters and decorators and shelf stackers of non—league marine, who are in the eighth tier of english football and have won

seven matches to get this far, are taking on the premier league stars of tottenham — harry kane, jose mourinho and co. it's the biggest gulf we have ever seen at this stage of the cup. so who are marine? from tackling the trash, to tackling the stars, footballing fairytales don't get any bigger than this for marine strikerjames barrigan. and it's been the only one topic of conversation on his dayjob this week, as a refuse collector for liverpool city council. obviously, seeing the likes of harry kane and mourinho and stuff, it's mad, cos you watch them on the telly, week in, week out you're watching them playing. and then the next minute you're playing against them, like, you're going to be up against them in real life. this story, set against the backdrop of crosby's golden sands, has all the ingredients of cup magic, including marine's own fa cup song in honour of the painters and decorators, the binmen, the shelf stackers, nhs workers and teachers, who have defied all the odds to get this far. it's an old—fashioned

david and goliath story, and so we needed an old fashioned fa cup song to do it. in any cup song like that, you want to, you want to say something about the club, something about the context and something about the fans as well, because the fans and volunteers are the bedrock of the club, really, you know. their story has already won them new fans all over the world. while closer to home, a local portuguese cafe owner is cooking up takeaway octopus in the hope that his big hitting compatriot, jose mourinho, will end up caught by his beloved local minnows. well, i always like the underdogs on everything. just to, you know, keep the balance. i don't like very big, eh, hitters, eh, like, you know, mourinho. and i always feel happy to... ..to see the local teams thrive and do well. it's good for the city. marine's ground is a world away

from tottenham's new palatial home, and its capacity ofjust over 3,000. a function suite will be spurs' dressing room. while on the pitch it's all about the neighbours. jose mourinho is going to be in for a massive eye—opener when he comes to marine on sunday. he can literally turn round over his shoulder and chat away to the neighbours if he wants to. if the ball goes over the fence on our side, you just wait for a crash, in case it's gone through to their greenhouse or something like that! there is a sense of sadness that, for this biggest match in their history, the neighbours will have to keep their distance on this occasion and no fans will be allowed at the game. and to recoup some of the £100,000 the club could potentially have made, they are selling virtual tickets for a tenner, as a souvenir perhaps? spurs fans have been buying these as well. while one of marine's most famous footballing neighbours this week chipped in himself to sponsor the dugouts after the previous one pulled out. i'm glad to be involved. i think it's going to a unique occasion for marine, the most famous game in their history. so, as a local supporter,

i was glad to help. the club will also get money from the song, which, in keeping with fa tradition, has a rousing finale. # oh, oh, oh!# brilliant stuff! good luck, bbc one, sunday. five o'clock that kicks off, you can watch it live on sunday. that's all the sport for now. always nice to have some music with your work... thank you and have a good weekend. firms exporting to the eu have expressed concern about the impact of new trade rules since the end of the brexit transition period last month. many british—based retailers that distribute goods around europe fear they will have to pay some tariffs or taxes. other companies, including seafood exporters and delivery firms, have complained about significant extra paperwork. our business correspondent vivienne nunis is in south london.

those cold supply chains are particularly concerned for obvious reasons about all of this so is the volume of trade down as businesses perhaps hold back from distributing some of the goods they normally would do at this time of year? some of the goods they normally would do at this time of year7m certainly is. first of all we saw stockpiling before the end of the transition period but over the changeover over the new year we saw a big drop in trade volumes and in fa ct a big drop in trade volumes and in fact some ports are seeing around 50% of the trade volume they would normally see this time of year as hauliers who can afford to stay away seem hauliers who can afford to stay away seem to be staying away to avoid any possible issues. we are also seeing a company is raising concerns more generally about exporting. m&s this morning in its latest trading update said it fears a significant impact exporting to businesses in ireland, the czech republic and also its franchise in france. as you mentioned, the delivery company dpd has temporarily suspended sending

some passes because it says one in five customers aren't filling out the information that is required —— some parcels. they will be returned back to customers but the company has stopped services untiljanuary 13. fortnum & mason is temporarily suspending exports to northern ireland and the eu and john lewis has said it has stopped exporting to customers in europe. it said that is not related to brexit, it is something it stopped in december but it has come at the same time and it said it wants to focus on its uk customers. 0k, thank you very much for that update. and on that point, we are seeing logistics group capitol said it is experiencing a high volume of vehicles being refused at uk and french ports due to incorrect paperwork so clearly there are challenges to be sorted out in terms of what is happening at the borders. more now on the tougher restrictions due to come into force for anyone entering the uk.

arrivals will be expected to take a covid test up to 72 hours before leaving the country they are in. it's hoped the new regulations, due to start next week will stop the spread of new variants of the virus. you will still have to self—isolate for ten days on your return to the uk. paul charles is the founder and ceo of travel consultancy the pc agency. good to see you come an awful lot of questions this morning but broadly first of all, is this a step in the right direction? is this what the travel industry has been looking for? yes, because it is important to secure the borders and make sure that no new strains or infections are coming in so from that point of view, it does make absolute sense and certainly i welcome the fact that the government is finally putting this in place. as always, it is the details when you look a bit closer that sometimes doesn't stack up. for example, if you are on holiday abroad at any point in the future and you have to get a test

urgently, within 72 hours, will you get those results back in time before you have to get on your flight before you have to get on your flight orferry before you have to get on your flight or ferry or eurostar and return to the uk? there is a lot of detail the government has not yet released about the exact nature of the tests they are prepared to accept and of course airline check—in staff are not medical experts, they are not designed or trained to check the exact specificity or significance of a test of the government is looking for. and we don't know exactly what test or types of test will be a cce pta ble test or types of test will be acceptable yet? the transport secretary this morning said impact on bbc breakfast that most tests would be accepted in terms of pcr test, lateral flow protests or so—called lump tests but he talked about the need for a certain specification to be met and that is why i am concerned this is a recipe for chaos at the check desk —— the bmp

for chaos at the check desk —— the lamp test. you can imagine turning up lamp test. you can imagine turning up with your certificate which you think is acceptable but turns out not to be because it —— because it does not meet the specificity the government is looking for so it is a recipe for chaos i think and as a lwa ys recipe for chaos i think and as always with these rules, they are not properly thought out. always with these rules, they are not properly thought outlj always with these rules, they are not properly thought out. i am seeing a lot of people, many travel agents among them, asking exactly when this will be introduced next week and i'm sure that it is a question you have been trying out the answer to as well so do you have news on that? my understanding it is it meant to come in from thursday but again, the government has not said exactly what time or they have not confirmed thursday but my understanding is it will be thursday. they are giving almost a week before airlines and ferries etc to train staff to look out for these measures. is that enough time? does not seem like a huge amount of time for ferry companies, train companies, the airlines to get ready for this? it's not long enough at all and indeed, it for this? it's not long enough at alland indeed, it is

for this? it's not long enough at all and indeed, it is going to be something that also the infrastructure overseas cannot cope with. there are a lot of countries overseas that do not have anything like the medical resource we see in the uk, they don't have the test facilities, the expertise to carry out these tests so if you are abroad at the moment and have to get one of these tests before you are allowed back into the country, what are you supposed to do if the country you are in cannot get you a test in time or does not have the right specificity? this is why i think you will see britain stuck abroad who are unable to meet these requirements. i think the government has said in relation to that particular point that there will be some exemptions, possibly including countries which do not have that testing infrastructure but the question remains, would someone returning from that sort of definition have to quarantine for a longer period? we don't yet know. in terms of opening up trouble, because people are naturally very interested in looking towards easter and the summerand in looking towards easter and the summer and later in the year and

thinking, cani summer and later in the year and thinking, can i travel again and book a holiday? do you expect to see a lot of people, whether individually or by travel agents, doing research about the destinations they might go to to see how well set up those definitions are to allow that testing to happen in orderfor them to get are to allow that testing to happen in order for them to get back are to allow that testing to happen in orderfor them to get back home? —— destinations. can you see people doing that? i can't. at this rate you will have to go to a library to check the huge amount of documentation needed to go on holiday. presumably countries or destinations, if they want that tourism trade back again, they will be keen to advertise whether they can provide travellers with that sort of testing and information. they will and in fact i think the onus will be on airlines and tour operators and others to almost pack it up operators and others to almost pack itupa operators and others to almost pack it up a test facility within the package you are buying or the airline ticket as an incentive for operators to offer that to make it easier but at the moment there was a hodgepodge of rules and restrictions, no international coordination, different countries are doing different things, not

coordinating with each other and it's no surprise that holiday—makers are losing confidence in order to book. i'm a much more optimistic that travel will be better from may the 1st onwards for example would hopefully vaccination programmes are in place but what we're seeing this morning is the layer upon layer being added to consumers‘ travel plans and in fact, i noticed the world travel and tourism council this morning saying that impact what you have is a test to get back into the uk as well as quarantine put it why do you need both if you have had a test which is claiming you? i think the government needs to take a step back and look at the layers they are adding to the travel sector —— which is claiming you. us as consumers because it will put off people from booking to. paul childs, thank you for thoughts. i mentioned a number of people had been in touch -- paul a number of people had been in touch —— paul charles. people had been in touch trying to find out when they can use these test but people are saying people should not even think

about travelling ponder this one says, the rest of the world to follow saint covid—19 flight testing isa dream, follow saint covid—19 flight testing is a dream, helpful in the uk quite test at airports but that‘s how we got into this mess, letting all flights in from last with no checks, sounds like nothing has changed. the government is saying this is meant to change things. david says, all air travel should be banned, if we can‘t travel ten minutes to see family, why should people be allowed to get on a plane and travel goodness knows where is? this says, long distance travel should be banned globally for now. if you want to comment any more on that story or any of the others, get in touch with me on twitter. the pressures facing some ambulance services during the pandemic are "off the scale", according the royal college of emergency medicine. the bbc has been told that last month in the south—east of england ambulance waiting times at hospitals rose by 36 per cent in december compared to the same month in 2019. people are also having to wait longer for ambulances to arrive when called. a major hospital taking covid

patients from across the east of england is having to double the size of its intensive care unit. the norfolk and norwich university hospital is treating patients from essex where hospitals are overwhelmed. but many staff are off sick and some cancer operations have now been cancelled. nikki fox and cameraman jamie niblock were invited into the unit to see the situation. estrella catalan is a nurse in the emergency department, now cared for by her colleagues. this is why the government locked down the country. tens of thousands of doctors and nurses are off sick because of covid. she didn‘t catch it at work, and is desperate to return. i want to help. i don‘t know when, hopefully, god willing. it‘s difficult.

i love the work and help the department and as a patient it‘s difficult. i don‘t ind working, doing an extra shift to help. i‘m here, i‘m helpless. one third of patients in the norfolk and norwich are being brought in from different parts of the east of england. places like essex, which are overwhelmed. across the hospital, more than 200 people are being treated for covid. the situation is like nothing i‘ve ever seen in norwich, or indeed in any intensive care placement in my training to date. we just are overwhelmed with the number of sick patients who require our intensive care support. i think we will become more and more stretched and that will become more and more difficult, but we don‘t have a choice. we have to respond.

intensive care here used to care for around 24 patients. but next week they will be increasing their capacity to 80. that‘s means it‘s quadrupled in size in just a few weeks. and for every ventilated patient, there is a member of staff. coming into work, i used to wake up and think, i love coming in. but it‘s just so scary at the moment, driving in, you just don‘t know what you‘re coming into. is that because you‘re scared of catching it orjust scared of what‘s going to happen to the patients? both, really. more for the patients. i think we are, we‘ve obviously got all this ppe on. but it‘s more scared for the patients. i mean, we can‘t give the care we would normally in itu. patients during the first wave, were an average five years older than they are now, and it‘s more unusual to see those in their 70s and 80s in the intensive care.

this time round, i‘m starting to worry about people of my own age, people in their 40s and 50s. people who would think themselves healthy, but maybe a little bit overweight orjust developing diabetes. and it feels much more worrying. the spread of covid is so fast the hospital is cancelling some cancer operations. prioritising which patients to treat is something they never want to do. nikki fox, bbc news. the australian city of brisbane will enter a snap three—day lockdown from today. it‘s after a single case of the new uk coronavirus variant was discovered. the city has been successful at containing the virus, with very few cases being detected beyond quarantined travellers since australia‘s first wave last year. all international travellers will have to test negative for the coronavirus before boarding flights to australia. let‘s get more now on the vaccine roll—out here in the uk. the government aims to vaccinate

13.9 million people — the over—70s, healthcare workers and those required to shield — by mid—february and millions more by spring. the speedy roll—out of the vaccine to vulnerable people is seen as critical to reducing the pandemic‘s death toll and relieving pressure on the nhs. but how achievable is this aim? well, we can speak now to sandra gidley, who is president of the royal pharmaceutical society. thank you forjoining us this morning. we begin with talking about the involvement of pharmacies in this process with the prime minister speaking yesterday about the bulk of jabs being delivered by your gp surgeries and pharmacies but are we talking about community pharmacies and not just the talking about community pharmacies and notjust the bigger chains? that‘s a very good question. at the moment, there are pharmacists who are vaccinating, they are taking pa rt are vaccinating, they are taking part in the mass vaccination

schemes, so i would like to acknowledge that. what we are talking about is the underutilisation of your community pharmacy, which has to guarantee 950 injections a week to be part of the programme at the moment. clearly we are saying they will be people who cannot make mass vaccination centres, community pharmacists are ready, willing and able to step up and help deliver this. we are told it is under consideration, things have moved on since the beginning of the week when nobody had spoken to us the week when nobody had spoken to us and we are now in a position where they are saying they will look at this and i believe a pilot scheme next week with a couple of the large unit community pharmacies, and things will increase then. sorry to interrupt, are those community pharmacies are saying to you that that figure of 950 vaccinations a week is achievable for them? those

organisations are, i believe they are part of the big chains and they are part of the big chains and they are able to get the number of pharmacists on site and have the space to do this but what we have been told is that this is being monitored very carefully. at the moment, there is only a couple of hundred pharmacies involved. clearly when you have 11,000 community pharmacies, there is a capacity that. you have trained vaccinators who are not being used and i think that is what we can‘t get our heads round because we really need all hands on deck to tackle this crisis. it is now being looked at... part of the scheme. i believe there is no longer a requirement with the oxford astrazeneca vaccine for someone receiving the jab to be monitored for 15 minutes afterwards unless they have perhaps indicated they perhaps have allergies or something so perhaps have allergies or something so is that something you can confirm and if so, that would really speed

up and if so, that would really speed up the process in pharmacies, wouldn‘t it? up the process in pharmacies, wouldn't it? i cannot confirm that, i think it‘s still being tested out. obviously people for their first vaccine, it is a new vaccine and it is unlicensed so there is rightly a very cautious approach being taken. but once we have people who have had their first vaccine and they know it is safe from they can‘t make the centre for the second but can go to a community pharmacy, that might be a community pharmacy, that might be a way we can step up and helped. there is a national booking system so there is a national booking system so if you can add pharmacies to that in the course of time it would make things easier then because there will be no confusion about who has had a second dose or what. briefly, sandra, how important do you think the involvement of those community pharmacies as well as the bigger chains are to actually achieving that 13. 9 chains are to actually achieving that 13.9 million target by mid—february? that 13.9 million target by mid-february? i think it will be difficult to get the scheme started

by mid—february, we have already lost time on that, but there are still a lot of people who need to be vaccinated after mid—february. certainly, i would vaccinated after mid—february. certainly, iwould hope vaccinated after mid—february. certainly, i would hope we were in a place to deliver then. potentially we could deliver up to a million a week, i think more realistically, not every community pharmacy will wa nt to ta ke not every community pharmacy will want to take part in this, but easily i think half a million a week. but at the moment i think the supply is being directed to the mass vaccination centres for understandable reasons. supply is still a little bit erratic as we heard so what we‘re is that the government wants to be really clear that there is vaccine in those cases so that there is vaccine in those cases so they can go into people and not be set in fridge but i don‘t think they will be sat in fridges in a community pharmacy products sandra, we are out of time but thank you for your time.

new data suggests that last year equalled 2016 as the warmest on record. the eu‘s climate service says global temperatures were around 1.25 celsius higher than the long—term average. researchers say greenhouse gas concentrations increased despite the coronavirus shutdowns and are expected to continue to rise this year. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. never cold and wintry day today lots of sunshine in scotland and northern ireland but grey and misty in england and wales and further snow and particularly in northern england, north west midlands and wales come up to ten centimetres over the hills, it would turn to rain and sleet at lower levels. a bit sleety some of the flurries further south and east but many are dry and misty and rookie and in the mist or the blue sky it will be cold, one or two celsius for most. and a cold night to follow snow

fading away from northern england, pushing into wales and the south—west. only a slight dusting. icy conditionsjust south—west. only a slight dusting. icy conditions just about everywhere but with snow on the ground, clear skies overhead, very cold, may be down to —12 degrees in parts of southern scotland and northern england. freezing fog patches to start the morning in the far south, much of england and wales have a dry and bright we can but increasing cloud in western scotland and some patchy rain.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the us president donald trump finally issues a statement, saying he condemns the storming of the us capitol by his supporters and committing to an "orderly" transition of power. to those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country, and to those who broke the law, you will pay. new rules for passengers arriving in the uk. soon they‘ll have to show a negative coronavirus test result. what we‘re trying to do now is stop a new variant, which isn‘t established here, from coming here. and this is the south african variant, where the scientists are very concerned about the ability of the vaccine to tackle the south african variant.
