this is bbc news with the latest headlines. fresh warnings that the nhs — under increasing pressure — could soon be overwhelmed by coronavirus cases. the health secretary says people should all play their part in helping stop the spread. we can all do something to help, which is to stay at home because every time you try to flex the rules, that could be fatal and we all have a part to play. and we all have a part to play. it comes as the government says a—symptomatic testing is set to be made available across england this week — and tens of thousands of people over the age of 80 have been invited to book vaccines. but the british medical association wants more focus on also vaccinating healthcare workers.

with the government saying that they can vaccinate all they have supplies for 2 million vaccinations per week it is entirely possible to vaccinate bee health and care workforce within the next two or three weeks, and thatis the next two or three weeks, and that is what we are calling for. the next two or three weeks, and that is what we are calling for. rescue teams in indonesia have located the black box flight recorders for the boeing passenger plane that crashed into the sea shortly after takeoff. 62 people were on board. and in half an hour... we take a look at the new technology that is allowing archaeologists to explore hundreds of mayan structures that lie hidden beneath the amazon — in guatemala's lost world. good afternoon. the health secretary has warned that every time people stretch

the lockdown rules it "could be fatal" and he's urged everyone to follow government restrictions to help stop the spread of coronavirus. matt hancock said the nhs was under serious pressure and could soon become overwhelmed. his message was echoed by england's chief medical officer, professor chris whitty, who said the new variant of the disease is surging rapidly across the country, leaving some areas facing ‘the most dangerous situation anyone can remember‘. the labour leader, sir keir starmer says the current restrictions may not be tough enough. he's urged the government to reinforce the stay—at—home message, and called for a return of the daily downing street briefings, fronted by the prime minister. the government is rolling out rapid flow tests across the whole of england. the tests, which can return results in 30 minutes, will be prioritised for those who can't work from home. and tens of thousands of people in england aged over 80

are being invited to book an appointment to get the vaccine at one of seven mass vaccination centres. today matt hancock also said said he hoped all adults in the uk would be offered the vaccine by the autumn. now, the latest from our political correspondent nick eardley — and a warning that his report contains flash photography. central london this morning as quiet as you will ever see it, with shops shut, pubs closed. some parts of the country are deserted again. but there is also real concern in government that not everybody is following the new lockdown and the strict stay at home message. the government rules only are one part of this. what really matters is what every single person does, because that is how the virus spreads. we could all do something to help, which is to stay at home, because every time you try to flex the rules, that could be fatal. the health secretary didn't rule out taking extra measures, because the real concern among experts about the health service in its ability to cope

with the rising number of cases. we will go over on three. these pictures from london's university college hospital give a sense ofjust how much strain hospitals are under. it was bad in march — it is much worse now. we have seen record numbers across the board, record numbers of cases and hospitalisations, record numbers of deaths. we are now in the eye of the storm, so to speak, and people need to take this very seriously. labour has said the government should have acted sooner, and its leader warned further measures may be needed, possibly closing england's nurseries, for example. he had this to say on the current restrictions. they are tough and they are necessary. enough? they may not be tough enough, but in a sense i think the most

important thing is for people to get that message about stay at home, and it is up to the government to put that message out there the whole time. it has been less than a week since everyone was told to stay at home, but with the serious situation in the nhs, experts and ministers believe that message is more important than ever. nick eardley, bbc news. the home secretary has defended the way police have handed out fines during lockdown, saying there is a "need for strong enforcement". priti patel said the number of cases and deaths recorded last week means that officers are right to stop giving repeated warnings to those who breach the rules. meanwhile, the health secretary has declined to speculate about whether the government may have to bring in tougher measures to curb the spread of covid. i'm joined now by honey langcaster—james, a chartered academic, social and behavioural psychologist. people are already fed up with the

lockdown as it is already. how much further could it go, do you think, and would people comply? well, i think you are right. people are fed up but there will be many people watching this right now who have been sticking to the rules, who are doing their part and are very frustrated with the minority of people who are not following the bills and doing their own thing. and i think one of the things that is happening is people are getting fed up happening is people are getting fed up with that. people think my life is restricted, my business is restricted, people are struggling with a mental health and things because of it and then they see other people flouting the rules which makes it even harder and then i think about the impact on our front line workers and essential workers, how it must feel to them to still be having to face people denying what is going on when this is their everyday reality. it is a very serious situation than they think we do need to trust the medical experts who are advising saying this is what you need to do.

you need to stay at home notjust to prevent yourself from getting the virus but to prevent yourself from having any kind of accident or injury and putting a strain on the health care system and also, of course, because your behaviour influences the behaviour others. so when other people see you behaving ina way when other people see you behaving in a way that is helpful they will follow suit but if other people see you breaking the rules, doing things, stretching the limits, thinking they don't apply to you, then how many more people might be influenced to do that and that is when the whole system breaks down? do they will need to be tightened and if so, where? i'm notan do they will need to be tightened and if so, where? i'm not an expert on bible behaviour or anything like that so i returned to the expense to that. they will tell us what these rules needs to be. i am an expert in human behaviour and what we need is consistent messaging but that messaging will change according to the rates, according to the capacity in our hospitals. and we need to

trust and have faith that the message, the instructions that we are being given at any one time are appropriate for the current circumstances and yes, that is frustrating. it is really, really hard. it is hard for me, my family, it is hard for everyone but we have to trust that they are doing the best they can to manage this very difficult situation. psychologically, if some people have had covid and of course there are many who have, i suppose, is it tempting for them to think, i had it, the chances are i'm not going to be getting it again and i can't give it to two other people so why should these rules apply to me? that is very, very true. classic social psychology studies going back have shown that if we cannot understand the impact of our behaviour down the line having a negative impact on someone else then we are less likely to do something about it and that is one of the problems. if you are

somebody who has had covid unrecovered, great, lucky you. or you are convinced that if you get it it is not going to be a big problem, you might be inclined to think that you might be inclined to think that you are not adding to the problem. but what you are doing is displaying your behaviour and other people will be influenced by that you perhaps will go on to spread it to someone else and you're also putting a strain on services in another way. you're putting a mental health strain on our health care workers who need to see that their efforts are not in vain and that the general public are behind them. notjust by getting on our doorsteps and clapping for them but that we are behind them by staying at home and following the rules and taking the incredible expert advice and playing oui’ incredible expert advice and playing our part. that is how we keep our health care workers going mentally and psychologically while they face the front lines. what is more important? strict police

enforcement, warnings, fines or gentle persuasion? well, i personally think that the rules have to be the rules. and if people are breaking the rules they do have to be consequences because not only that clubs that particular person's behaviour but sends an important message to other people and it is consistent, authoritative, i'm not talking about draconian measures all the fat that yes, of course, there will be people with exceptional circumstances all going about their essential job circumstances all going about their essentialjob or something like that. of course we need to be responsive but we need to be authoritative. it is not enough to say the people well, this is what needs to happen and we're going to leave it up to you to see if you wa nt to leave it up to you to see if you want to follow along with that or not because unfortunately that is confusing and what we actually need is clear, seek your advice. and when people feel secure, when they feel that they know what the rules are and they know someone is in charge and they know someone is in charge and someone else is going to check that behaviour, if someone deviates from that, it actually makes

eve ryo ne from that, it actually makes everyone feel more emotionally secure and that is where we can also be more compassionate and have more empathy for each other and we are less angry and less likely to take risky behaviours as well. there are so many reasons why it is just a really good idea to keep listening to what the rules are and following them to the very best of your ability. thank you forjoining us. thank you forjoining us. the health secretary said this morning that the government is on track to meet its target of vaccinating all vulnerable people by mid—february. but doctors say that more needs to be done to make sure all frontline healthcare workers get vaccinated as soon as possible. dr chaand nagpaul chairs the british medical council and is a gp himself. he told me he thought the pace of vaccinations needs to increase. it is taking too long, because, at the moment, we have about 16,000 reports of staff, nhs staff who are off work due to covid, sickness or

being positive. we know that this is impacting on the ability of the nhs to serve patients. the bma hasjust done a survey that says that about half of doctors are saying that shortages of staff due to illness in their own colleagues is affecting their own colleagues is affecting their ability to treat patients effectively and adequately. so we have a problem as we speak and the only way to really address that is to make sure that all health and ca re to make sure that all health and care staff immediately are prioritised, to be protected against this virus with vaccinations. so we are saying that all high risk health and care staff should get the vaccine in the next two weeks and eve ryo ne vaccine in the next two weeks and everyone else by the end of january. when you are looking at the figures, though, taken when you are looking at the figures, though, ta ken together care when you are looking at the figures, though, taken together care home, front line, gps, people like yourself, that is about 3 million people. that is a lot of vaccinations, isn't it? it is but if that becomes an absolute priority

for the government which has itself said it is aiming to do 2 million vaccinations each week, then that certainly is possible but it needs a very clear directive that health and ca re very clear directive that health and care staff are a priority. the reason why is because you have further shortages of staff on an nhs thatis further shortages of staff on an nhs that is already severely suffering with workforce shortages that will directly impact on our ability to ca re directly impact on our ability to care for patients and it is the patients who will suffer. the other problem, of course, is we are relying on gps and community nurses and practice staff to be carrying out the vaccination programme and already there are doctors and nurses and others who have to cancel their ships because they have become positive with covid. so it is actually also important for the vaccination programme that we protect staff from becoming ill as well as treating patients and those

in hospital so it is, to me, an obvious priority the government must implement and we are calling for that action now. a 28—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after two men died at a property in east london. police were called to an address in ilford, to reports of a disturbance. two men were found seriously injured inside the property, and both died at the scene. our correspondent lisa hampele sent us this update from the scene. be house here has been cordoned off, as you can see, and forensic teams have been here since early this morning. it was at about half past four this morning that police and paramedics were called. they were called because of a disturbance and when they got here they found two men had been seriously injured and they died here at the scene. we were told that police and paramedics did all they could but the men were pronounced dead here. they also arrested a 28—year—old woman. she had been injured and she was tasered

as she was being arrested and she is now being treated in hospital. now, i have spoken to neighbours here and one of them in particular told me that he heard screaming just before the police and the ambulance crew arrived. he said that he had her saying help me, help me. a woman in the house in and out of the house we re the house in and out of the house were screaming help me. officials in indonesia say they've located the black box flight recorders from the boeing 737 airliner that crashed yesterday. 62 passengers and crew were on board the jet, which disappeared from radar screens over the sea, shortly after take—off. our south east asia correspondent jonathan head reports. better weather allowed a small flotilla of ships to make progress in the search for flight sj182 in the sea north of the capital, jakarta. the boeing 737 crashed just four minutes into its journey. the location was quickly identified, allowing teams of divers to locate wreckage on the sea floor, and, they believe, signals from the flight recorders.

translation: there are two signals coming from the black boxes. these can be continuously monitored so we can mark their coordinates. hopefully we can retrieve them soon, and identify the cause of the crash. throughout the day, they brought back debris clearly identifiable as from the missing plane, confirming that something catastrophic happened to it in the last minute of flight before it plunged into the sea. in this wreckage there were personal items belonging to the passengers, and the authorities say they've recovered some human remains as well. relatives have been coming in to give dna samples in the hope that some of those remains can be identified. friends and neighbours visited the home of the plane's captain afwan to offer their condolences. both pilots were experienced flyers. captain afwan spent many years with the indonesian air force. he was a good man, says his

nephew, ferza mahardika. he often gave us advice and was a prominent figure in the neighbourhood, well known for his kindness. the pilots gave no distress calls, leaving no clue as to what went wrong. the continued recovery of wreckage will hopefully provide some answers, and shed light on whether the safety flaws which have long dogged indonesia's aviation industry were a factor here too. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. the headlines on bbc news: fresh warnings that the nhs — under increasing pressure — could soon be overwhelmed by coronavirus cases. the health secretary says people should all play their part in helping stop the spread. it comes as the government says a—symptomatic testing is set to be made available across england this week — and tens of thousands of people over the age of 80 have been invited to book vaccines. but the british medical association wants more focus on also vaccinating healthcare workers...

in the meantime, democrats plan to move forward with a second impeachment of the president, starting on monday. it was an act of sedition that was incited and encouraged by donald trump, and that is why he must be held accountable to the full extent of the law. the claim in the draft articles of impeachment is that donald trump's behaviour "gravely endangered the security of the united states." but some republicans think the process could fuel further unrest. others argue there simply isn't enough time. i've got enough decisions to make about things that can happen rather than to spend time on things that can't happen. if the house of representatives votes to impeach the president, the earliest the us senate could begin a trial of mr trump is january 20th — the day he is due to leave office. peter bowes, bbc news. the spanish government will send

convoys carrying the covid—i9 vaccine and food supplies on sunday to areas cut off by storm filomena which brought the heaviest snowfall in decades across central spain and killed four people. sylvia lennan—spence reports. swept away, two people died after storm filomena struck this road near malaga in southern spain. another two people froze to death in the capital and an eastern city. translation: we are amidst the worst snow storm that has hit the country since records began. in places like madrid, we have seen the biggest snowfall in recent decades. this is an exceptional situation that has exceeded even the most pessimistic forecasts. around 20,000 kilometres of road were affected. 1500 people trapped in cars needed rescuing — with the police, civil guard and the military‘s emergency unit all in action.

passengers were snowed in at spain's main airport. translation: we had to sleep here, they didn't give us food or drink, we had to lie on the luggage belt and desks. before this, some parts of the northeastern aragon region hadn't seen snow for years. translation: it hasn't snowed in zaragoza since 2005! the same story in central spain too. translation: never have i seen it so snowy, never. and there is curiosity from these creatures too. revellers in madrid to say this has been like a dream come true. snow enveloping iconic buildings and landscapes, including museums, parliament, and the main thoroughfare, the gran via — for now a ski slope.

translation: it is magic, i don't think there is an exaggeration to say there is a lot of people in the street despite the pandemic, and the situation is such fun. the heaviest snowfall since the 1970s has also made access to hospitals had, although ministers insist it will not hinder the delivery of new coronavirus vaccine supplies. but there is concern that this record amount of snow could lead to both icy conditions as well as more flooding in the days ahead. when the coronavirus was still in its early stages, one of the theories about its origins involved a rare animal — the pangolin. they're among the most trafficked mammals in the world. our correspondent andrew harding reports on south africa's efforts to rein in the illegal trade. get on the ground. a sting operation by south african police. they've lured a gang of suspected

smugglers to this car park. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven arrested. stephen inside the car, still alive, a strange and precious victim is rescued. whose animal is this? this is a pangolin, one of the world's most endangered, most trafficked creatures. its thick scales prized in traditional chinese medicine, but on no scientific basis. injured and weak, the elderly male is rushed to a dedicated pangolin clinic in johannesburg. but too late to be saved. he's very dehydrated, and his wounds are terrible. unfortunately, when they've been in the trades for long their immune system is compromised, so healing takes a lot longer. few survive an ordeal that reassembles a kidnapping, complete with proof of life videos, like this one, sent by the poachers to potential buyers. you know, when we get them out the trade, they're

absolutely terrified. they have no real natural enemies and now man is their absolute downfall. this adult female was rescued and survived. now she is well guarded at a secret location. but the species has gained new prominence, after scientists began investigating possible links between pangolins and covid—i9. these are some of the most harmless creatures on the planet, but there is new evidence from china that pangolins may have helped incubate and transmit covid—i9 to humans who ate the animals. there is also the suggestion by studying these animals we may learn more through their immune systems about the virus itself. in the meantime, a new arrival is nursed at the clinic. three months old, her family trafficked. the pangolin has lived on this planet for more than 18 million years. it's in the headlines today because of covid, but humans have hunted it to the brink of extinction.
