doses are now on order. and some nurseries looking after the very youngest children question why they have to stay open, and say they need more help to deal with the pandemic. and coming up on bbc news... liverpool's fa cup third round tie at aston villa goes ahead tonight despite a coronavirus outbreak within the villa squad which forced the closure of the club's training ground on thursday. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one.

all visitors to the uk from next week will have to have proof of a negative covid test before they're allowed to travel. anyone arriving by air, rail or sea — including uk nationals — will have to take a test up to 72 hours before departure, and people arriving from countries that aren't on the travel corridor list will still have to quarantine for up to ten days once they arrive. our transport correspondent caroline davies reports. 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. international arrivals, including uk nationals, travelling to the uk 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. the government has said tests

will be needed from next week, but haven't set an exact date, and they haven't specified a particular sort of test. they can be different types of tests, so viewers will have heard of pcr tests, perhaps, but there are also lateral flow tests and lamp tests. the important thing is it's up to a certain specification, and then people take that test and as long as it's negative then they can fly, but they can't board the plane, for example, without having that negative test. some other countries already have strict measures in place. raphael recently returned to south korea. it took 2a hours of testing and paperwork before he was allowed home to quarantine. he said it was very different when he flew to the uk. the process was completely opposite. there were no checks, there's no temperature check, there's no screening, there was no social distancing, many people were not wearing masks. 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 and that a common standard can be introduced. countries around the world have introduced predeparture testing. they all have a slightly different set of measures that they are looking for, different ways in which they have to be validated, and it's very confusing for passengers. some airlines are concerned that a positive test could destroy their business. they will cancel within four days or two days of departure and then we will have to run flights that have maybe 5% or 10% of seats sold was that we lose so much money. it makes it the only eye week and survivors do not operate flights at all. -- survivors do not operate flights at all. —— the only way we can survive is. the government has said that policies like the travel corridors, quarantining, and the test

to release programme have helped manage imported infections before, 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 in westminster. and why now, because as we have reflected, a lot of travel operators have wa nted reflected, a lot of travel operators have wanted this for a long time. yes, and the government has resisted it for a long time arguing that either because the virus was circulating so widely in the uk already, testing people at the border or before they travelled wouldn't make much difference. and someone wouldn't make much difference. and someone could arrive, show no symptoms and take a negative test, only to go on and prove positive a couple of days later having already passed on the virus. for that reason the government has focused on quarantine measures for now. i think what has changed, as you heard in the report, the concern of new variants of coronavirus being discovered, and particularly the new variant discovered in south africa, which government ministers and the scientists advising them are very concerned about and very keen to keep out of the uk, and that's why they are changing tack at this

point, introducing the testing measure in addition to quarantine requirements as well. jonathan blake at westminster, thank you. in a dramatic about turn, president trump has expressed outrage at what he called the heinous attack on the us capitol in washington, dc on wednesday. in a video message, he called for calm to be restored. a police officer, who was hurt in the violence when scores of trump's supporters stormed the building, has died of his injuries. it brings the total number of deaths to five. peter bowes sent this report. 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 2a 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. our correspondent nomia iqbal

is outside the white house. less then two weeks to go, but what is the feeling there of what might yet happen in the remaining 12 days? this is a president who is under huge pressure in a way that he has not been before. five people died in the capitol riots, including a police officer, who has been named as brian sicknick. this under the watch of a president who has styled himself as the president of law and order. the justice himself as the president of law and order. thejustice department has indicated it would be open to potentially charging mr trump with criminal liabilities. you have members of his staff, as we saw in the report, quitting. you have top republicans who have previously been slavish to mr trump are turning their back on him. i think this video was an attempt to try to take the heat off himself for a while, but this was also a classic move by mrtrump, where he

but this was also a classic move by mr trump, where he uses these very formal scripted video addresses to try to get himself out of a difficult position before revealing his true feelings on twitter. in terms of the 25th amendment, this is the process by which he would be removed, that would be driven by vice president mike pence and it is not likely to happen. impeachment would be driven by top democrats. the question is, doesjoe biden want to start his presidency in 12 days' time going after mr trump? he is inheriting a deeply polarised country and his aim will be trying to unify people. nomia iqbal, thank you. in the last hour, a third coronavirus vaccine has been approved for use in the uk by the medicines regulator. 17 million doses are on order. our health correspondent katharine da costa is here. the third one to get the license. that's right, following the approval of both pfizer and the oxford

vaccines. the uk regulator, the mhra, has said it has met all the standards for safety, quality and effectiveness. moderna works in a similar way to the pfizerjab that began roll—out a month ago to stop the uk has pre—ordered an extra 10 million doses, bringing the total to i7 million doses, bringing the total to 17 million of that vaccine. but supplies are not expected to be available until the spring. this vaccine needs to be stored at —20, and clinical trials found it offered nearly 95% effectiveness. so far, nearly 95% effectiveness. so far, nearly 1.5 million people have been vaccinated, and today the health secretary said this was fantastic news and it was another weapon in the battle to defeat the virus. and we are talking a lot at the moment about the pressure on hospitals and the health service. ons figures feed into all of that. that's right. the data suggests the virus is still increasing in england and there were

more than1 increasing in england and there were more than 1 million increasing in england and there were more than1 million people increasing in england and there were more than 1 million people with the virus in the week to saturday, that's one in 50 people in england, rising to one in 30 in london. it is also rising in scotland where one in 115 had the virus. infections have fallen in wales to one in 70 and stopped falling in northern ireland where it was won in 200 with the virus. it comes as data from ons suggest that just under virus. it comes as data from ons suggest thatjust under half of adults in the uk formed a christmas bubble, so up to three households we re bubble, so up to three households were allowed to mix around much of the country on christmas day. where we have seen a the country on christmas day. where we have seen a surge the country on christmas day. where we have seen a surge in new infections, that is in turn driving up infections, that is in turn driving up hospital admissions to more than 3000 per day and in england more than half of all major trusts are currently seeing more covid patients than in the first peak in april. that rises to 60% of beds being full in some hospitals in london, in kent

it has prompted many hospitals to cancel routine operations and appointments to make more space and health leaders have warned the next fortnight will be incredibly tough. katharine da costa, thank you. the number of people with coronavirus in hospital in scotland is now higher than it was at the peak of the first wave in april. the total number of patients is now 1,530, and the number of deaths recorded yesterday is 93. at her daily briefing, first minister nicola sturgeon said the return of students to university was being delayed. the lockdown in wales is to remain in place for at least another three weeks. the first minister, mark drakeford, has also warned that some measures may need to be strengthened. he said that unless there's a significant drop in cases soon, school and college students are likely to continue their education online until the february half term. hywel griffith reports. shops closed, companies kept in hibernation. wales went into lockdown ahead of christmas. the new

year has started with an all too familiar theme, staying at home remains the rule for at least another three weeks. the new strain is undoubtedly adding a new, dangerous dimension to the public health crisis. the lockdown will continue for another three weeks, to the 29 january, when it will be reviewed again. on monday, schools we re reviewed again. on monday, schools were told to prepare for pupils to return on january 18, were told to prepare for pupils to return onjanuary18, but were told to prepare for pupils to return on january 18, but today that has changed to learning from home for the rest of the month. and probably until february half term, u nless probably until february half term, unless there is a significant drop in covid cases. ahead of the lockdown, wales had the highest covid case rates in the uk. those numbers are now down and vaccinations have started. but this is still a country in the grip of a health and economic emergency. it means this brewery has nowhere to

sell its beer. the barrels are full but have nowhere to go. less than one—year—old, the site may now be shut permanently, making 80 people redundant. i have always thought that probably the lockdown might be begin to be eased end of february, post half term. now the mood music as it will go even longer so it is impossible to plan a business because you never know when you will because you never know when you will be able to reopen. rolling restrictions have already taken their toll, but for some, making restrictions have already taken theirtoll, but forsome, making it through this winter may be the toughest challenge yet. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. tougher coronavirus restrictions are now in force in northern ireland, meaning people are not allowed to leave their home without a good reason. the police have been given additional powers to enforce the law. the stormont executive has tightened the lockdown which began on boxing day, because of the rising numbers of positive tests and pressure on the health service. 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. and other companies including seafood exporters and delivery firms have complained about significant extra paperwork. katy austin reports. 80% of the scottish seafood producer's fish and shellfish goes to the eu, but so far this year it is not getting to the border because new customs paperwork submitted online keeps being rejected. we thought there could have been problems with product packaging and glitches like that, we identified everything was correct. what action are you taking? unfortunately we have had to stop boats from fishing to save further losses and we are

having to furlough a lot of staff. the company which runs a major seafood distribution hubs in scotla nd seafood distribution hubs in scotland is suspending some assignments until monday when it tries to create a backlog. fish is not the only industry encountering hitches, parcel delivery service dpd uk has posted european road service until wednesday over what it called an increased burden of customs paperwork, it said around a fifth of parcels had incorrect data attached. one of the headlines of the trachea last month was tariff free trade, meaning no import taxes on trade between the uk and usa meet complex rules what they —— where they are made. marks & spencer says carrots could arise when companies use the uk as could arise when companies use the ukasa could arise when companies use the uk as a distribution hub for products redistributed to the eu. some easements can be used, curtains

can transit goods but that does not work for everyone so it is clear there will be some structural change in how goods are distributed. government spokesperson said it was a lwa ys government spokesperson said it was always clear there would be some disruption at the end of the transition period and that it was aware of some issues and providing support. businesses want creases ironed out now while cross—border traffic remains quiet to be confident things will people living when things get busier. our top story this lunchtime... no entry to the uk without proof of a negative coronavirus test. the tougher measures for travellers come in next week. the government says they‘ re necessary to stop the spread of covid. coming up... it's the fa cup third round this weekend, and the must—watch match will be between non—league marine and totteham hotspur. coming up on bbc news... having been signed for £115 million, west ham's record signing

sebastien haller leaves for ajax less than two years afterjoining, with david moyes seeking a replacement before the transfer window closes. the pressures facing some ambulance services during the pandemic are "off the scale", according to the royal college of emergency medicine. the bbc has seen leaked data which shows ambulance waiting times at hospitals in the south—east of england rose by 36% in december, compared to the same period the year before. it comes as the nhs faces unprecedented pressure because of the covid pandemic. our correspondent faye kirkland, who is also a gp, has this report. i was knocked unconscious straightaway. when they got to me, i was lying on the ground, face down. delivery driver chris lanning was unloading a lorry in selby, yorkshire, when he was struck on the head by falling equipment. colleagues called an ambulance but more than an hour later it had failed to arrive. you're shaking, you're chattering,

your speech is getting slurred. i was freezing cold, wondering to myself, you know, "when is this ambulance going to arrive? "i need an ambulance." chris was eventually taken to hospital by his colleagues and found to have fractured his skull. ambulance services in england are facing enormous pressures. one paramedic working in london, whose voice we have changed, says he's seen patients waiting 12 hours for an ambulance. some days we are seeing patients that have been on the streets for hours on end, so we had an adult male the other week who had fallen in the street and he had been on the floor for probably about six or seven hours. he was unable to move. his friends tried to get him into a van, but they couldn't move him, and it was a freezing cold nightsto be taken to hospital. —— move him, and it was a freezing cold night to be taken to hospital. and then we picked him up and he had quite a bad leg injury. how is the service coping? the service is on its knees at the moment. we've also learned that on one point on monday, more than 700 patients were left waiting for an ambulance, but none were available.

data leaked to bbc news shows that in the south—east, ambulances spent nearly 8000 hours waiting to off—load patients in december, up more than a third for the same month a year before. the idea that you break a leg and you call an ambulance, which is the right thing to do for that scenario, and you can't... nothing comes for over seven hours, that's just appalling. doctor adrian boyle says it is a crisis unlike any other he's seen. there is absolutely no doubt we are in a crisis, but it's not just the ambulance service, it's the whole urgent and emergency care pathways. people may feel that we have a winter crisis every year. this is different. this is on an order of magnitude worse, and certainly this is the worst winter crisis i've been through in my 25 years of practising as a doctor. ambulance services say it's taking significantly longer to hand over patients at hospitals, but they are doing everything they can to meet the demand. faye kirkland, bbc news. in the last few minutes the mayor of london sadiq khan has declared

a major incident for the capital because of the severe pressure on hospitals. frankie mccamley is in the city centre for us. search could this mean? —— what could this mean? mayor sadiq khan has declared a major incident because he says london is a crisis point and if numbers do not rapidly decrease over the next couple of weeks, their capital will run out of hospital beds. london's figures at the moment are there are more than 1000 cases per 100,000. with more than 7000 people in hospital being treated for coronavirus at the moment, that is about 35% more than at their peak of the pandemic in april. to put that into context, it

means around one in 30 people in london is now suffering with coronavirus, meaning that emergency services will be changing the way they work. firefighters, we have heard, will be backing up hospital workers and paramedics, driving ambulances around the capital to help, and we will see other emergency workers working with each other too. this is not the first time this has happened during the pandemic, back in august the mayor of manchester andy burnham also declared a major incident. thank you, frankie mccamley. police in london are hunting a man who conned a 92—year—old woman into giving him £160 for a fake covid vaccination. officers say the man turned up at her home in surbiton and claimed to be from the nhs, before injecting her with an unknown substance. the police have released these images of an individual they are looking for. an islamic cleric linked

to the 2002 bali bombings has been freed from prison in indonesia. abu bakar ba'asyirir is seen as the spiritual leader of the islamist terrorist network which was responsible for massive blasts that ripped through two bars. more than 200 people were killed, most of them foreign tourists. questions have been asked this week about the logic of keeping nurseries open for very young children, when schools are closed to most older children. nurseries remain open in england, wales and northern ireland, althought they're closed in scotland until at least february. it's left some nursery workers worried about their safety and many are calling for extra support from the government, as our education correspondent adina campbell reports. hi, catherine. how are you today? we're good, thank you. are you awaiting any covid results? no. the morning drop—off — relief for parents, and business as usual for staff. have a great day. earlier this week, the government

announced nurseries like this one in surrey should stay open for all children. we feel the nursery is very well managed and we keep ourselves to ourselves, so we feel like it's very, very controlled. we took the decision at the first lockdown to keep them home. but you could see that that harmed them. i'm scared to take my daughter to nursery because of what's going on. campaigners who represent more than 50,000 childcare providers are now calling for the government to take more action to keep these workers safe, including giving them priority for covid—19 vaccinations, mass testing across all early years services and access to more government money, especially for those who've been forced to close, or seen a drop in funded places. 85% of childcare in this country is delivered by the private and voluntary sector. and, of course, they feel a bit let down, really. because staff are testing positive,

that means they're having to juggle every day in terms of how they're going to manage the staffing issue within the nursery. the department for education says places such as nurseries remain low risk environments for children and staff, and is funding nurseries as usual in all parts of england. nurseries are still open in wales, but remain closed in scotland and northern ireland. nurseries are a lifeline for working parents, and an important part of a child's development — socially, emotionally and physically. but with covid infection rates rising rapidly, there are growing concerns about the health and safety of everyone involved in these services. all critical workers should be given the vaccine and should be kind of up there in priority. fingers crossed, obviously, things do go forward and that is something that they would consider. some nurseries in england have now decided to only accept vulnerable children and those of key workers

because of safety fears. despite assurances from scientists that children under the age of five are less likely to catch the virus, campaigners say they also want to see clear evidence about the risks to justify early services staying open. adina campbell, bbc news. marks and spencer has described its trading over the christmas period as "robust," though the chain's uk revenue in the 13 weeks to boxing day was more than 8% lower than the same period the year before. food sales increased slightly, but clothing and homeware sales slumped by 24%. it's usually one of the highlights of the football year, but the pandemic is of course affecting the fa cup third round weekend. southampton's game against shrewsbury is off, although aston villa's match against liverpool will go ahead, despite a string of positive covid tests. the stand—out tie, capturing the unique magic of the competition, is non—league marine taking on the mighty tottenham hotspur.

mike bushell reports. 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? 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. if the ball goes over the fence on our side, you just wait for a crash, in case it's gone through 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, while one of marine's most famous footballing neighbours this week chipped in himself to sponsor the dugouts.

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!# mike bushell with such reports. and you can watch marine take on spurs live on bbc one on sunday, from a.30pm. —— mike bushell with that report. time for a look at the weather. another very cold day with further sleet and snow forecast, it is a winter wonderland behind me, a recent picture from knaresborough in north yorkshire. i will show you where the snow is falling, another
