good evening and welcome to bbc news. scientists and senior public health officials are warning that, despite the lockdown, even tougher restrictions are needed in england to curb the surge in coronavirus cases, hospital admissions and deaths. government figures show that since the pandemic began, in march last year, more than 80,000 people in the uk have died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. our health correspondent katharine da costa reports. the race is on to protect the most vulnerable. this the home of bristol city football club, now one of seven mass vaccination centres. final preparations are being made ahead of monday, when it willjoin hundreds of gp sites and hospital hubs across the country.

they have been working genuinely day and night and they're working all through weekends as well, to make sure that their populations get vaccinated. it's not like flu clinics — this has been hugely complex. more than 32,000 patients are currently being treated for covid across the country. 11,000 more than during the first wave in the spring, and with new admissions now at 4000 a day, nhs staff say this year's winter pressure is off the charts. it really is unprecedented, in terms of the numbers of patients that require intensive care, being put on ventilator at one time and most hospitals have reached... have expanded their intensive care capacity to somewhere in the region of three times their normal capacity. there's now an urgent need to free up some beds at hospitals. this hotel in south london's preparing to take on a small number of homeless or vulnerable covid patients from king's college

hospital, while they continue their recovery. once more, we must all stay home. a simple and clear message in this new government campaign, reinforcing just how critical it is to follow the social distancing rules, wear a mask, wash your hands and ventilate indoor spaces because even with the uk—wide lockdowns, experts warn the new variant spreads more easily, which is likely to make the virus much harder to control. because we have the more infectious variant, which is somewhere around 50% more infectious than last time round in march, that means that if we were to achieve the same results as we got in march, we would have to have a stricter lockdown than then and it's not stricter, it's actually less strict. vaccinations will eventually help relieve pressure on the nhs. today, the queen and duke of edinburgh received their first doses 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. well let's take a look now at the latest government figures in detail. there were 59,937 new coronavirus cases recorded in the latest 24—hour period. and there were 1,035 deaths — that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. it takes the total number of deaths so far across the uk to 80,868. dr sheheryar banuri is a behavioural economist at the universirty of east anglia, and an expert on motivation and incentives, behavior, and public policy.

thanks very much for being with us. let me ask you festival, we have in a period where we are being told that the threat is greater and that most people are meeting the terms of the lockdown but that there is still a need to do more. can you help unpack some of the behavioural aspects that are contributing this? because on the one hand it looks like people are doing their bit but still the infection is spreading. pa rt still the infection is spreading. part of this is that the new strain of the virus is more transmissible but the other side is that of the people that aren't necessarily complying, the intensity of noncompliance in mind have potentially increased and part of the reason is, i mean, we havejust come out of the holiday period, even

though we were under lockdown. at the same time, there has been news of, of course, as you know, vaccines which have been the big breakthrough and so that's increased optimism about the future and perhaps at the same time relaxed some of the behaviour in recent times which is division four, you know, the high rates of transmission. —— which is the reason for, you know, the high rates of transmission. optimism about the effects if we can achieve vaccination levels that are sufficient to protect the majority of the population and all the most vulnerable people is understandable and, in some ways, is needed because presumably if we become despairing and hopeless we will not comply at all with rules and will become very lackadaisical about the rules because we will become fatalistic about the chances. what could we do, do you think, that we are not doing

at the moment? what do we need more of which might help us preserve the optimism but also help make it more likely? well, i mean, one of the focus and we have been, i mean, behavioural scientists have been talking about this from the first lockdown all the way through, which is actually about bolstering trust and that part of trust is important because it improves what is called volu nta ry because it improves what is called voluntary compliance. in other words, iam voluntary compliance. in other words, i am complying with the rules because i believe it is in my best interest, and so focusing on that aspect, building up trust and saying to people, you know, here are the rules, here are clear, consistent messages, here are clear guidelines. 0ne messages, here are clear guidelines. one of the great things about us here in the uk as we are, on a global scale, a rule abiding culture, but we need clear, consistent rules to follow, and that is one of the things that has been very lax. i mean, the rules kind of

change day in and day out. who is a key worker, schools are opening, schools are closing, so all of these inconsistent messages have been shown to reduce compliance in other contexts. a study in canada for example in previous pandemic shows similar findings. example in previous pandemic shows similarfindings. really it is example in previous pandemic shows similar findings. really it is about communication bolstering trust and that requires clear guidelines. very, very, and i mean, very, very clear. so when we talk about you can't leave your home except for under one of these three conditions, this is the maximum distance you can go to, those sorts of things. in some aspects of the uk have been doing better and giving more clarity with these rules. i was talking this morning, a little earlier in the afternoon about the wales experience where however unpopular the messages might have been, they do seem to have been messages that have been pretty consistently expressed. can i ask either, in part, that the people

who are expressing them because any politician, even when they have the ma ntle politician, even when they have the mantle and authority of government, is still, for a lot of the population a politician who either they agree with or disagree with, they agree with or disagree with, they like they dislike. we have had today the news that the queen has received vaccination and prince philip, who obviously is only a matter of months from his hundredth birthday, they will reach a certain proportion of the population he will gain confidence and comfort from the fa ct gain confidence and comfort from the fact that the monarch feels it is ok to have this vaccination so i can have this vaccination, but are there other role models at the moment you think we are not hitting? i'm not necessarily asking for individual names but i'm thinking of sorts of people who will be useful both in the vaccination but also encouraging us the vaccination but also encouraging us to comply with the rules at a time when we might feel, oh, i've had enough of this. yes, indeed. i think it requires, sort of, the same sta nce think it requires, sort of, the same stance from many angles. of course,

the royal family getting the vaccine, as you point out, is an important step, but there is also, what we call influences in the sort of marketing literature, which would need to, sort of come a point in the same direction and show evidence that, you know, either get vaccines all provide clear messaging and in this situation you also expect, i mean, local government leaders, heads of... , anybody that is in a public figure or place of authority saying the same, pulling in the direction as it were, which is important because, really, it is something that is beyond politics and has been beyond politics from day one so getting buy from all these different areas is going to be important. despite getting buy in

from all these different areas is going to be apparent, important. professor in behavioural science thank you very much for being with us on thank you very much for being with us on bbc news. as we've been hearing, buckingham palace has confirmed that both the queen and the duke of edinburgh have been vaccinated against covid—19. royal sources say the jabs were administered by a household doctor at windsor castle, though we've have not been told which vaccination they received. the couple have been isolating in windsor castle in recent weeks. it's being reported that the decision to release the news was made by the queen so as prevent any inaccuracies or further speculation. 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell has more details. normally, of course, the queen and the royals are very sensitive about disclosing medical details, but in this instance, clearly, they want to set an example and encourage people to come forward and have the vaccinations.

buckingham palace has come forward and let it be known it is the queen's decision that both she and the duke of edinburgh had their covid—19 vaccinations earlier today. they were administered by a doctor from the medical household at windsor castle and of course they are both, at their ages, the queen 94, just a few months short of her 95th birthday, the duke 99, they are both, of course, in the categories that are entitled for early vaccination so there is no question ofjumping of the queue. but they will want this to be generally known that they have received their vaccinations in the hope that this will encourage any of those that have misgivings about the vaccination process. in terms of how they have been living their daily lives over the last couple of months in particular, presumably the risk factor has been kept as low as it is realistically possible to keep it? yes, considerable steps, as you would imagine, have been taken to keep them away from any possible infections. they are in the, sort of, bubble,

as it has been described, at windsor castle, seeing a minimum number of people, just a small number of officials who are there in self—isolation with them. the queen and the duke of edinburgh. no public engagements, of course, in recent months and i'm sure that the precautions have been still more intensified given the variant, the more transmissible variant. certainly they have been at windsor castle now for some months, they didn't go to sandringham, of course, over christmas, and they are there in self—isolation and the prospects are that that will continue for weeks to come along with the rest of the country. no indication which of the vaccines was administered to them? no, i don't think we will get any more details. we have simply been told that the queen and the duke of edinburgh have today received the covid—19 vaccinations. i don't think they would wish to disclose which of the vaccines they have received.

you know, this is the only detail they will make public, the fact they have, both of them, been vaccinated now. that was our bbc royal correspondent talking a little earlier. the head of the catholic church, pope francis, also is going to be immunised next week. speaking to an italian tv station, he described opposition to the vaccine as "suicidal denial". the pontiff has also become the latest figure to express shock and condemnation for wednesday's riots in washington, dc. he said the assault on the capitol was "against democracy and against the common good." a boeing 737 passenger plane — carrying 62 people — has crashed into the sea off the coast of indonesia. search and rescue teams have been trying to locate the sriwijaya airlines jet, which appeared to fall around 10,000 feet in less than a minute after taking off from the capital jakarta en route to pontianak. jonathan head has the latest. flight sjy182 had only been in the airforfour minutes

when all contact was lost. with no emergency call from the pilots, indonesian officials struggled to piece together what might have happened. transport minister budi karya sumadi described the boeing aircraft veering off—course before disappearing from radar screens. the flight tracking app, flightradar, monitored the plane making an apparent plunge from 10,000 feet to near sea level before it vanished. friends and relatives were left waiting at its destination in the city of pontianak, but there was no information to give them. the authorities are now setting up a crisis centre for them in the capital, jakarta. a depressingly familiar scene in indonesia, which has a poor aviation safety record. several boats were sent out to search for any signs of the missing plane. some reported finding what looked like debris but by nightfall, the search had to be called

off until morning. translation: we are deeply sorry for what has happened to this flight. we hope our players can help with the searching process and that everything goes well. —— our prayers. the plane disappeared close to where lion air flight 610 crashed two years ago. that exposed flaws in the design of the brand—new boeing 737 max. this flight involved a much older plane, though sriwijaya air says there was no known problems with it. the airline is one of dozens which have proliferated in indonesia in the past 20 years, giving millions access to air travel for the first time but raising worrying questions about safety. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. the headlines on bbc news... the latest coronavirus figures

show there's been 1,035 more deaths in the uk — taking the overall total known to have died from the covid—19 virus in the last ten months since the pandemic began to more than 80,000. a new campaign in the uk is urging people to abide by lockdown rules — scientists and senior public health officials are warning that despite the lockdown, even tougher restrictions may be necessary. an indonesian passengerjet has crashed into the sea shortly after taking off from jakarta. 62 people were on board. allies of president donald trump have condemned twitter‘s decision to close his account as an attack on free speech. the firm said it had removed his profile because of the risk of further incitements to violence following the storming of the us congress on wednesday. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis, reports. the most powerful man in the world no longer has access to one of his most valued assets — twitter. donald trump's preferred

platform for picking fights, settling scores and promoting conspiracy theories has blocked him for good. president trump has been blamed for fomenting the protests that led to the deaths of five people at the us capitol on wednesday, and twitter believes his continued use of the platform could stoke further violence in the run—up tojoe biden's inauguration in 11 days' time. facebook having already banned donald trump for the remainder of his term in office, the president is looking increasingly isolated, facing multiple resignations, and with members of his own party deserting him, some are concerned about what he might do next. in the final tweet before his account was closed, he said one thing he won't be doing is attending his successor‘s swearing in, breaking with a tradition stretching back more than 150 years. joe biden said he was fine with that, and called mr trump a "national embarrassment." he has been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed

us around the world. not worthy, not worthy to hold that office. there are those who believe the president should also be denied access to the nuclear button. the house speaker nancy pelosi is actively seeking his removal. democrats plan to introduce an impeachment resolution on monday. sadly, the person that's running the executive branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the united states. after a week of unprecedented turbulence, it's difficult to know what will affect donald trump's fortuned more — impeachment, if it happens, or the lack of access to a social media soapbox that has been so effective in building and rallying his mass band of supporters. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. just an update from reuters, you may remember pictures of a man photographed carrying us house

speaker nancy pelosi's lectin from the house of representatives during the house of representatives during the rice on wednesday. according to florida prison records he was arrested late on friday night. that's right during the riot on wednesday. his name is adam and he is being held in... countyjailand he is being investigated over the suggestions. he was an warrant from the federal government on friday night and he is being held just outside tampa in florida. we bring more of course any charges that come out of the fight on wednesday as we receive news of them. —— that come out of the riots on wednesday as we receive news of them. i've been speaking to our washington correspondent, lebo diseko about whether the democrats will succeed in ther attempts to impeach president trump from office. the washington post got hold of a memo that apparently was sent from mitch mcconnell, the leader of the republicans

in senate to his republican senators, that said that by law, they are not allowed to start any... take up any such proceedings until january the 20th, inauguration day. now, the concern forjoe biden, and you will notice if you listen to his press conference yesterday, he was very careful in his language around this. if this does go ahead, if the impeachment proceeding trial does go ahead, he can't get his cabinet confirmed until it is done and dusted and that is a concern for him, so you heard him saying that he thinks the best way of removing donald trump is by swearing him in and also any decision to impeach is for congress, not for him, and pressing home his priorities and the job that he wants to get going on. so yes, i think there is a possibility that this could go to the senate trial, but whether that will happen before joe biden's inauguration, i think, we will have to wait to see. it is looking increasingly unlikely.

you were inside the capitol buildings during those extraordinary events on wednesday. you have now had a couple of days to try to draw your breath and kind of get some sense of perspective on events. i don't think anybody watching from outside could ever imagine seeing in the us in modern times. what's your view of it now? how does it feel to you, looking back at what happened? i mean, to be honest it feels like we are kind of still in the midst of it. i mean, obviously wednesday night was quite some thing in itself! but we are still taking stock. i mean, people are still asking questions about how it could have happened around washington, dc and the bus stops, there are moving videos with the pictures of people that the fbi wants to interview, people that are suspected of taking part in this. i think there's quite a lot of tension as well. people are moving around and doing what they might normally do, but there's an edge in washington

and i think a lot of people are just looking ahead and thinking what might happen over the coming week or so? muriel bauza, the mayor of dc, has introduced an emergency order, which gives her powers to react to anything that might happen much more quickly. so, yeah, it feels like we're not quite at the other side of the story as yet. 0ur correspondent in washington. around 100 migrants have reached the uk today by crossing the channel by boat the home office says that 69 people on five boats were brought to dover and that another boat with around 30 people on board was taken to eastbourne. they also say that the french prevented three boats with 26 people on board entering uk waters. minister for immigration compliance and the courts chris philp said "people should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach and not risk

their lives making a dangerous and illegally—facilitated crossing." to the uk. this is not only the first weekend of the new lockdown — but also the first one since a ‘major incident‘ was declared in london. it's a reflection — of how the coronavirus — has once again taken a foothold in the capital. and today 12 people were arrested during a small anti—lockdown protest in south london. wendy hurrell reports. we wake to a crisp winter weekend morning — in the midst of a major incident in london. the message very much — that life, for now, cannot go on as normal — those in the medical profession appearing on major national news programmes to reiterate. to some extent, we can think of this isa to some extent, we can think of this is a new pandemic within a pandemic. of the data coming out, there was some new data from public health england that came out yesterday suggesting that that risk per contact is probably a0 or 50% higher thanit contact is probably a0 or 50% higher than it was so both in the uk and for many other countries as well i think we need to get away from this idea that we are going to see a repeat of what happened last spring with our behaviours and really face the possibility that this is much riskier and we are going to have to work much harder to reduce the

impacts. post-covid cases in hospital admissions rise, a campaign is pasted onto london's streets, carrying a stark warning. and the nhs is under severe strain. the reality of all of this is the anybody watching this report is right now is one road traffic accident away from needing someone like me to open the head and needing an intensive care bed to keep them alive afterwards. if we don't have intensive care beds and we don't have ward beds that makes this all is so much more difficult. today the mets police made 12 arrests during an anti—lockdown protest in clapham south london saying that those looking to gather would face enforcement action by officers. gets back x might get back! as long queues of elderly people forms outside a south london gps to date some hope as madonna became the third vaccine approved in the uk.

many now bracing themselves for a white weekend like no other they have ever seen in their own backyard. mark lobel, bbc news. quite a sight, isn't it? of course, some parts of the uk have already seen decent false of snow. let us have a look at what is ahead heavy medical saturday evening. —— this ahead on this very cold saturday evening. hello there. it's been a very cold start to the weekend, widespread frost and ice up and down the country and also some low cloud and freezing fog, particularly in the south, which could linger all day. best of the sunshine further north, but for scotland we have had a weatherfront pushing in, bring outbreaks of rain to northern and western areas. some snow on the hills as well, and that weather will push into northern england overnight, bringing a little bit of rain here. more rain pushing into western scotland and again there will be further snow on the hills. now, a cold night to

come, but not as cold as it has been of late. but still cold enough where any rain falls on the frozen surfaces and we could see an ice risk for sunday morning, eastern scotland and north—east england favoured for that. further rain pushing into northern and western scotland throughout the day on sunday, but further south, for northern ireland, much of england and wales, we should see the cloud breaking up and we should get some sunshine for the afternoon. it will be a little less cold as well through sunday afternoon, 5—7 or 8 degrees out west. as we head through the new week, it looks like it will be a little less cold than it has been generally, but there will be further rain at times, with some snow on the hills, particularly in the north. more than 80,000 people have now died in the uk within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. during the course of the pandemic. a new campaign in the uk is urging people to abide by lockdown rules. scientists and public health officials warn even tougher restrictions may still be necessary. this despite lockdown. the queen, who's 9a, and the duke of edinburgh, who's 99,

receive their first covid—19
