4:02 pm
our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has more details. the jet is not a 737 max, normally, of course, the queen and the royals are very the boeing model involved in two sensitive about disclosing medical details but in this instance clearly they want to set an example crashes that killed more than 300 and encourage people to come forward and have the vaccinations. people in indonesia and ethiopia. authorities and the airline gave no it is the queen's decision that both she and the duke immediate indication as to why of edinburgh had their covid—19 the plane suddenly went down, vaccinations earlier today. but local officials say a major search and rescue they were administered by a doctor operation is under way. from the medical household rebecca henschke is asia editor at windsor castle and of course they are both, at their ages, for the bbc world service the queen 94, just a few months and gave us this update. short of her 95th birthday, the duke 99, they are both in the categories that are entitled for early vaccination so there is no question ofjumping of the queue. we are hearing that the authorities are sending rescue teams but they will want this to be into the areas around the bay generally known that they have of jakarta, a bay that has received their vaccinations thousands of islands. in the hope that this will encourage any of those that have misgivings it is believed that the plane may about the vaccination process. have crash there because debris has in terms of how they have been been found in those waters.
4:03 pm
living their daily lives over we have also spoken to a fisherman the last couple of months in particular, presumably the risk factor has been kept as low who was in those waters around as it is realistically possible the time the plane lost contact. possible to keep it? yes, considerable steps, he told the bbc he saw as you would imagine, have been taken to keep them away a plane crash into the sea. from any possible infections. he said it fell like lightning, they are in the bubble, as it has been described, that there was an explosion under at windsor castle, seeing a minimum number of people, just water and that bits of the plane, a small number of officials who are there in self he said, nearly hit his vessel. isolation with them. he was terrified and they went no public engagements, of course, back to the island. in recent months and i'm sure that is where the search and rescue that the precautions have been is taking place for this plane that had 62 people on board, including a number of still more intensified given children and babies. the variant, the more transmissible variant. those families that are waiting certainly they have been at windsor castle now for some for those people to arrive months, they didn't go in west kalimantan, we are seeing them gathering in to sandringham over christmas, the airport in borneo. one man said that his wife and three and they are there in self—isolation children were on board and the prospect art that and the prospects are that so he was distraught and looking for any information and spoke
4:04 pm
will continue for weeks to come to us through tears. along with the rest of the country. no indication which of the vaccines was administered to them? we are seeing pictures of a news no i don't think we will get any more details. conference taking place injakarta. we have simply been told we don't have an english translation that the queen and the duke of what is being said at the moment of edinburgh have today received the covid—i9 vaccinations. but presumably an update of what limited i don't think they would wish to disclose which of the vaccines information there is. they have received, this is the only the circumstances with a crash detail they will make public, into the water, presumably this is a recovery operation as much as it is a rescue operation. the fact they have, both of them, that is right. what we're hearing from eyewitnesses been vaccinated now. is looks like this was an intense that was our royal correspondence impact in the water. nicholas witchell they are talking to mea nicholas witchell they are talking to me a little bit earlier about the news from buckingham palace. at this stage, authorities are still searching for the exact point they believe the crash these are the figures of infections happened and it is still a search and deaths recorded in the 24—hour and rescue operation until we have is to saturday. the number of any further information. this plane is an sriwijaya air 737 infections recorded where someone has tested positive for covid is but it is not the same model as the one that crashed in indonesia
4:05 pm
in 2018 which killed 59,937. the number of people whose over 180 people. death was declared in a 24—hour is that was a lion air plane. to saturday and to have themselves this sriwijaya aeroplane been tested positive for covid in is a low—cost carrier but it did have the top the previous 28 days, that number of safety in indonesia. deaths is 1035. at the same time there is a lot of questions scientists and senior public health about the safety of aeroplanes officials are warning that tougher restrictions are needed in england in this archipelago nation. to curb the surge in coronavirus cases, hospital i have covered a lot admissions and deaths. their calls come as staff in one of plane crashes. london hospital are preparing the pain from the families, to move some patients to a hotel this is a common scene in indonesia, to free up capacity. i have already covered several plane crashes and there will be questions our health correspondent about how this has happened again. katharine da costa reports with many major hospitals in the capital under unprecedented pressure, there is an urgent need to free up beds. allies of president trump have condemned twitter‘s decision this hotel in south london to close his account as an attack is preparing to take on a small number of homeless or vulnerable on free speech. covid patients from king's college hospital, while they continue their recovery. the firm said it had removed his the first is expected later today. profile because of the risk of further incitements to violence
4:06 pm
following the storming of the us the hospital's lead for social care congress on wednesday. says it has been successfully used 0ur north america correspondent, for non—covid patients. david willis, reports. the most powerful man in the world no longer has access to one of his most valued assets — for non—covid patients twitter. with housing issues. donald trump's preferred we know there is a demand for more platform for picking fights, settling scores and promoting of these hotel beds to be set up conspiracy theories has blocked him for good, in order to ease the pressure citing what the company called: on the nhs. "the risk of further we hope by starting small we can up scale in order to meet demands of the trust. incitement of violence". london's declared a major incident. with more than 7,000 covid patients in the hospitals and admissions president trump has been blamed for fomenting the protest that led to the death of five people approaching 1,000 a day, at the us capital on wednesday staff say this year's winter and twitter believes his continued pressure is off the charts. use of its platform could stoke further violence in the run—up tojoe biden‘s inauguration in 11 days' time. it really is unprecedented, in terms of the number of patients that require intensive care, the president's son donjr being put on a ventilator at one time, and most on his twitter account said: "free hospitals have reached, speech no longer exists in america". have expanded intensive care capacity to somewhere in the region of three times their normal capacity. and called the ban "orwellian". in a tweet swiftly deleted from his official white house account,
4:07 pm
but it is extremely mr trump said he was now looking pressurised and the staff into the possibility of creating his are doing their utmost, own social media platform. but they are being worn down by their pressure. facebook, having already banned but they are being worn down by that pressure. once more we must all stay home. donald trump for the remainder a simple clear message the government hopes will hit home in this new advertising campaign. of his term in office, it reinforces just how the president is looking critical it is to follow increasingly isolated. the social distancing rules, to wear a mask, wash your hands and ventilate indoor spaces. facing multiple resignations but even with uk—wide lockdowns, and with members of his own party experts warn the new variant deserting him, some are concerned spreads more easily, about what he might do next. which is likely to make he said one thing he won't be doing is attending his successor swearing it harder to control. in, breaking with a tradition stretching back more than 150 years. the more people who are out joe biden said he was fine and about and in contact with each with that and called mr trump other, the more the virus a national embarrassment. will spread, and because we have the more infectious variant which is somewhere round 50% more infectious than last time round, in march, that means that he has been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed us around the world, if we were to achieve the same result as we got in march we would not worthy to hold that office. have to have a stricter lockdown, and it is not stricter, it is actually less strict. there are those who believe the president should also be denied mass vaccinations will eventually help to leave pressure on the health service.
4:08 pm
but with new infections still at record levels, hospital admissions and deaths are expected to continue rising for several weeks to come. katharine da costa, bbc news. christina pagel is a a professor of operational research at university college london and a member of the independet sage group of scientists scrutinising the government's handling of covid. thank you for being with us. what strikes you most as you look at the latest information we have, bearing in mind there is a lag between the figures we see on the point at which people would have become infected. it is just really bad news. the thing with hospitalisations if we
4:09 pm
have seen, especially in london, the nhs is already overwhelmed and the people who will need hospital over the next ten days already have covid. so we know thatjust because case numbers have been going up that number will continue to go up every day. we had one small snapshot of what this means in a very simple way which is a hospital in south london moving some of its covid patients who don't necessarily need intensive ca re who don't necessarily need intensive care but do need to be properly monitored and at least indoors, some of the homeless patients are being moved to a hotel to free up some precious capacity. what more are we seeing around london? 0n precious capacity. what more are we seeing around london? on your twitter feed this afternoon you put up twitter feed this afternoon you put upa graph twitter feed this afternoon you put up a graph that gives us a sense. perhaps you could help us to interpret what people can see on their screens at the moment. you mention king's college hospital
4:10 pm
which is trying to relieve capacity that way. that is one of the biggest hospitals in london with 960 beds. london admitted 997 patients with covid on january the 6th london admitted 997 patients with covid onjanuary the 6th so that is a full hospital of covid patients. admitted on one day? in one day across london. london has been admitting that many covid patients for weeks now, every single day. that will only keep going and we don't have more staff so that is where the pressure is. we can find more space and we can find space in hotels but we can't do is find more qualified or doctors. a couple of other things people have talked about, obviously it is anecdotal but staff talking about things like nurses who might be dealing in normal times with one patient having to spread their attention to three oi’ to spread their attention to three or possibly four patients in that
4:11 pm
same shift. 0n or possibly four patients in that same shift. on these figures, we get to shape their and that shape is growing. that timeframe you have put up growing. that timeframe you have put up on twitter that is end of september to beginning of january. is that right? yes, to the 6th of january. so the last part where it sharply goes up, that is how long a period? since lockdown, really, since mid december. so it two and a half or three weeks. three or four weeks. given what we know about the numbers that will continue to rise for now? yeah, there is some sign that it for now? yeah, there is some sign thatitis for now? yeah, there is some sign that it is slowing a bit in london because london has been in tier 4 now for three weeks but even if it slows down and stays where it is now we cannot admit 1000 patients a day
4:12 pm
to london every day because patients stay for two weeks. it's not as if they come in and then they go. you're just they come in and then they go. you'rejust adding to they come in and then they go. you're just adding to it constantly. sadiq khan called an emergency yesterday for this very reason. it really is bursting at the scenes. it is such a strain on doctors. that is what worries me. front line staff are going to leave the pandemic com pletely are going to leave the pandemic completely traumatised from what they have had to do. assuming they themselves stay healthy so they can even treat people. we have all focused optimistically on the impact of the vaccine. the vaccine is there but supply will be a continuing issue. we have supplies at the moment. we are spreading out when people get the vaccinations to maximise a number of people who get some protection. presumably they have to be qualified people who administer those vaccinations. if you start to see a lot of illness on
4:13 pm
the health side and have more people on the front line there you have fewer people for things like that. everything has a knock—on effect is what i'm trying to say. everything has a knock—on effect is what i'm trying to saylj everything has a knock—on effect is what i'm trying to say. i would say that the vaccination programme seems to be working well at the moment. that is the one really positive thing. front line staff are getting vaccinated and our —— are being prioritised. we need them healthy and that is the right thing to do. what are we not doing? a lot of people think there talking about london again but what we're seeing in london at the moment is what we will see elsewhere as the week goes on if for no other reason because we have to take patients out of london and they have to go to hospitals elsewhere. what are we not doing at the moment that we should be doing in yourjudgment? the thing we are
4:14 pm
not doing is thinking about the people who cannot lockdown. lockdown helps because it stops people mixing but there are lots of people, 10 million plus key workers who have to mix, they have to go to work. that is not just people mix, they have to go to work. that is notjust people in health care matters people working in factories, warehouses, etc. a lot of the time they are people in lower income so they are people in lower income so they are people in lower income so they are in more crowded housing and they are in more crowded housing and they can't necessarily afford to stay at home if they have symptoms. that could have a really big impact on the pandemic. at the moment we haven't done it. puree is a really interesting question. the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham was talking this week about his anger about the proportion of the population who have fallen through the gaps in terms of employment
4:15 pm
support. if you work in the public sector organisation or work for a big commercial company you will be supported, even relatively small commercial companies, it allows people to be put on the side as it we re people to be put on the side as it were but still receiving a majority of their pay. there are self—employed people, there are people who are a single employee businesses who get no help. those are the sort of people as well as the very low paid and on zero—hours contracts who if we can find a way to support we could help support infection of everyone else in the knock—on effects from that. absolutely. people say we are all in it together but in that sense we are not. i can stay from home and work from home and i get a full salary and it is easy for me to do that and i'm protected and i protect others by staying at a time. but as a society we should be protecting
4:16 pm
people who can't afford to do that, either by helping to stay home or if people live in houses with their elderly grandparents, allowing them to isolate in a hotel or something. we can do things like that and we're not trying it yet. very wise advice and based on the statistical evidence we are seeing and modelling. thank you very much. what is your twitter address if people wa nt to is your twitter address if people want to look at that graph? it's @chriscrirp. thank you very much for that. we will speak to you again.
4:17 pm
let me bring you some more statistics. 0ne let me bring you some more statistics. one of the problems is that there is a number crunching process that tries to be very precise to nail down the number but they all add up at the end of the day. the department of health have just released this. it is based on lab results so these are lab tests conducted on samples alive people, the government believes that they have now been since it began more than 3 million cases of covid—19 in this country. that will capture many people who are unaware they even had it all about it. it will capture a
4:18 pm
lot more data, richer field of data spread over that whole ten months 110w. spread over that whole ten months now. there is an additional figure related to that, so we're over the 3 million mark the government thinks of people who have been infected are currently infected, the number of people who have died in the is now recorded at just people who have died in the is now recorded atjust over 80,000. it is slightly blurry on my screen but i think it says 80,868. that is a number of people who the government believes have died as a result of the pandemic over less than 12 months. as a rough ballpark figure flew every year kills about 1000 plus people, may be slightly more in
4:19 pm
some years a slightly lower. 0ne plus people, may be slightly more in some years a slightly lower. one of covid in side effects such as australia and chile, a lot of the flu deaths fell dramatically. it's not clear why that is and that is one for the statisticians to argue over. but we do know that would probably accept and don't even think it is newsworthy that 1000 odd people die every single year of the flu. 80,000 people have died so far from this pandemic. that is a figure to think about and reflect some as we continue to consider how we can best protect ourselves and those we love and those we don't know from the effects of covid—19. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre,
