hello. this is bbc news with tim willcox. this is bbc news, with tim willcox, we have just received the latest uk the headlines at 16:00pm: figures on coronavirus infections. fresh warnings that the nhs — under increasing pressure — could soon be overwhelmed and the number of by coronavirus cases. the health secretary says people should all play their part people who have tested in helping stop the spread. as tens of thousands positive in the last 2a hours is 5a,940 with 619,9ai virus tests of people over the age of 80 conducted overall are invited to book vaccines, the government pledges that everyone in the same period. over the age of 18 will be the latest number of people offered one by autumn. who have died within 28 days of a positive test is 563. rescue teams in indonesia have and the number of patients located the black box flight admitted to hospital recorders for the boeing passenger in the last 2a hours is 4,066. plane that crashed into the sea shortly after tak—eoff. 62 people were on board. today we've been reporting on the health secretary matt hancock's warning that every time people stretch the lockdown rules it "could be fatal". he has urged everyone to follow government restrictions to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

the home secretary priti patel has also defended the way police have good afternoon. handed out fines during lockdown, the health secretary has warned that saying the high number of cases and deaths means there is a "need every time people stretch for strong enforcement". the lockdown rules it "could be fatal" and he's urged everyone i'm joined now by professor susan to follow government michie — health psychologist restrictions to help stop at university college london, the spread of coronavirus. and a member of spi—b, matt hancock said that the behavioural the government is on track to meet its target of vaccinating advisory group of sage. all vulnerable people by mid—february. tens of thousands of people in england aged over 80 many thanks for joining are being invited to book many thanks forjoining us. just in terms of compliance, when you look an appointment at one of seven mass at the latest figures and surveys, vaccination centres. but doctors say that more needs to be done to make sure 90% of people think they are all frontline healthcare workers get vaccinated as soon as possible. conforming, complying with the rules. why are we still not got it dr chaand nagpaul chairs the british medical council. he told me he thought the pace under control? are people not telling the truth, do you think? we have to look at the nature of the of vaccinations needs to increase. rules on what other nature of the restrictions. this is very different it is taking too long because at the from march. the current restrictions allow nonessential tradespeople, moment we have about 16,000 reports cleaners, nannies, estate agents to

go in and out of each other‘s of nhs staff who are off work due to houses. they allow mass gatherings in terms of places of worship, covid sickness, or being positive. we know that this is impacting on nurseries being open. all sorts of nonessential things like heritage the ability of the nhs to serve sites, garden centres are. there are patients. the bma hasjust done a survey that says that about half of many people in public transport and doctors are saying that shortages of staff due to illness of their collea g u es staff due to illness of their colleagues is affecting their ability to treat patients are in contact with each other. effectively and adequately. so we severely, that is what we have to have a problem as we speak and the look out. primarily. because are in only way to really address that is a situation where, given compared to march, we have 50 to 70% more 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 transmissible variant of the virus this virus with vaccination so we and we have the cold weather which are saying that all high—risk help and care staff should get the vaccine in the next few weeks and means the virus will last longer and eve ryo ne vaccine in the next few weeks and everyone else by the end of january. more people are indoors enabling aerosol transmission and we have the when you are looking at the figures, nhs an absolute crisis now. for all 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 these reasons we ought to have more yourself, it is about 3 million than fewer restrictions than march. people. that is a lot of

so it just doesn't vaccinations, isn't it? it is but than fewer restrictions than march. so itjust doesn't make sense, it is com pletely so itjust doesn't make sense, it is invited that becomes an absolute completely illogical that we have priority of the government has got a much more lax set of rules so itself said it is aiming to do 2 before we begin blaming people yet million vaccinations each week that again and blaming people for is certainly possible. but it needs adhering to the rules that look at the rules themselves. is there an to bea is certainly possible. but it needs to be a very clear directive that health and care staff are a priority and the reason why is because if you argument to say that for many people have further shortages of staff on they are less frightened now about their survivors than they were at their survivors than they were at the beginning of the lockdown? an nhs that is already severely their survivors than they were at the beginning of the lockdown7m there evidence for that psychologically? there is no suffering with workforce shortages evidence for that and what we have that wouldn't directly impact on our seen throughout this pandemic is ability to care for patients and it that when people can see that there will be patients who will suffer. isa the other problem of course is that that when people can see that there is a really serious threat and they can see that what they do can make a we are relying on gps and community difference and when they trust the nurses and practice staff to be carrying out the vaccination leadership telling them what to do programme and already there are they will adhere very well. the doctors and nurses and others who problem at the moment is, yet again, have to cancel their shifts because we have mixed messaging. on the one they have become positive with covid and so it is actually important for hand been told this is really the vaccination programme that we serious, abide by the rules. but on the other hand we are being given a protect staff from becoming ill as

well as of course treating patients and those in hospital so it is to me set of very lax rules. this is mixed and those in hospital so it is to me messaging and this is exactly what an obvious priority the government undermines adherents. so we need to must implement and we are calling for that action now. really look at this so that the messaging of what we are being asked to do is commensurate with the seriousness of the situation. but we have appeals warning, dire warnings that the situation we are facing and it could get worse. the government, as yet, not actually confirming that it is going to raise the tier system further but presumably the chief medical officer patel the governor difficult up as necessary. is there something to be gained from him, the man trusted by the signs, to make the personal appeal? it is not up to me to tell him how to do his job the personal appeal? it is not up to me to tell him how to do hisjob but if you look at the data, if you look at the transmission rates and the figures that you just shared with us now, this is absolutely dire and it

is going to get worse, there is no way around it. at this level of transmission on the level of increase of transmission severely, it is just total logic and of course those who have got the most influence which includes professor chris whitty are the ones who can persuade the government to do the right thing and ensure that there is more strict and not less strict measures than in march. but these must be underpinned by good support for people and that does not happen the last time. we need good support for those renting accommodation, good support for those in precarious employment, and freelancing etc. because if we don't give that kind of support along with the strict measures we are going to have physical mental health problems. we are going to have loss of a warning from the health secretary — flexing lockdown rules livelihoods and in the long term that will harm the economy. so that could be fatal. it comes amid increasing short—term investment in people, in concern that the nhs, under growing pressure, their jobs,

could soon be overwhelmed short—term investment in people, in theirjobs, also in schools and workplaces to make them save so that by coronavirus cases. we can all do something to help, the restrictions can be gradually which is to stay at home. because every time you try to flex lifted, people will be going back to save transport, save workplaces the rules, that could be fatal. u nsafe save transport, save workplaces unsafe schools. we have not had that yet and that is absolutely urgent so matt hancock also pledges that this will be the last lockdown every adult in the uk will be offered a vaccine we have face. if that is not done we by the autumn. risk another year of yo—yoing in and shortages on the shelves for some shoppers in northern ireland out of lockdown is. what difference after new trading arrangements following brexit. does it make psychologically that so and yet another big surprise in the fa cup this weekend, as crawley town many more people have now had to take on leeds united. coronavirus? i mean, some not nearly as seriously as others but how does that change perhaps peoples perception as well? that is a good point because the more people who have had it the more people tests, the more people who have been vaccinated, there may be ascends that people are more protected than they actually are. we are now seen good afternoon. the health secretary, matt hancock, re—infections in people who were

has warned that every time people previously infected. we don't know flex the lockdown rules, how long the vaccination will last it could be fatal and has urged everyone to follow for and we don't know if it will government restrictions. but the labour leader, sir keir starmer, reduce infectiousness and the massed says the current rules testing, lateral flow tests, reduce infectiousness and the massed testing, lateralflow tests, they may not be tough enough. can detect if you have got it but if you get a negative result you may more than a thousand deaths from coronavirus were reported across the uk for the fourth day in row yesterday. still be infectious, you may still this report from our political have covid. so people may interpret correspondent nick eardley getting a negative test result, contains flash photography. getting a negative test result, getting a negative test result, central london this morning as quiet as you will ever see it, getting a vaccine and having had covid before as meaning that they with shops shut, pubs closed. some parts of the country are more protected than they are and are deserted again. this would be disastrous because but there is also real concern that's may mean that people relax in government that not everybody their protective behaviours so i is following the new lockdown think my main message is to say and the strict stay at home message. the government rules only there is no silver bullet here. are one part of this. everybody is at risk and everybody what really matters is what every single person does, is at risk of passing on the virus because that is to their loved ones in their communities and in order to get out how the virus spreads. of this pandemic as quickly as we can all do something to help, possible we must keep on with those which is to stay at home. because every time you try to flex protective behaviours and support the rules, that could be fatal. each other to be able to engage in

the health secretary didn't rule out protective behaviours. but the taking extra measures, government also needs to do their because the real concern among bit especially with financial and experts about the health service practical support for isolation because getting a good test and and its ability to cope. traced an isolate system up and we will go over on three. running is absolutely keen if we are to get out of this pandemic. thank you very much indeed for speaking to these images from london's university college hospital give a sense ofjust how much strain hospitals are under. england's chief medical officer is warning that if the virus continues to grow, many hospitals will face real difficulties soon. members of the government's virus group agree. 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. there are differences between the message now and last spring, some

people conform support bubbles, and in some parts of the uk places of worship and nurseries are open. that has led to some scientists advising the government to say there is too much room for activity, but the main concern in government is that people are not being a strict with the rules now as they were last year. 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. the health secretary said this morning that around 2 million people have now had a vaccine. by autumn, he is pledging every adult in the uk will have been offered one. but for now, the message is that following

the rules is more important than ever. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. so as we've just heard, the health secretary says every adult in the uk will be offered a coronavirus vaccine by the autumn. it comes as people over 80 in england are being contacted to get a coronavirus vaccination at new nhs centres opening up this week. they're in bristol, surrey, london, manchester, stevenage, birmingham, the north east, and yorkshire. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. this is our best hope of escaping the coronavirus pandemic — mass vaccination on a scale the country has never seen before. at this centre in stevenage, local nhs staff are among the first to receive the jab. everybody‘s been struggling, you never know whether you're going to work and what you're finding, so by having this, we just know that we can start to work together and really make a difference in terms of everyone that's out there and hopefully get out of this pandemic that were in.

i'm happy and excited that i got it, cos i know that i'll be protecting not only myself but the people i work with. as well as the centre in stevenage, this one in manchester and five other hubs will start offering vaccinations this week. it marks a big acceleration in the vaccination programme, and it's needed if the government is going to hit its mid—february target of offering the jab to 15 million people, including some of the most vulnerable and health—care workers. in scotland, the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine will be more widely available through 1,000 gp practices and centres. wales and northern ireland have each administered more than 70,000 vaccines. long—term ambitions go further — an announcement this morning that all over—18s could receive the jab by autumn. but that seems a long way away while a combination of soaring hospital admissions and staff sickness is creating a crisis that is entering uncharted territory. we are seeing hospitals

having to divert patients because they're too full, and that's having a knock—on effect on other hospitals, who then also become too full, and we're concerned that this will be a situation that could spread to other parts of the country. so the situation is quite desperate. in a bid to break the transmission chain of the virus, this week will also see the start of regular rapid lateral flow testing in england for people who can't work from home. but that's unlikely to ease the pressure is the health service faces right now and over the weeks to come. dominic hughes, bbc news. 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.

shoppers in northern ireland have been facing bare shelves at some supermarkets since the ist of january, following the uk's trade separation from the eu after brexit. the new arrangements now mean it's become more complicated for businesses to ship food over the irish sea from britain, and some lorryloads have faced delays. the government says traders and hauliers need to make sure they are complying with the new border rules. here's our ireland correspondent emma va rdy. january may be the time some of us want to consume a little less, but shoppers in northern ireland have found the shelves noticeably bare. i was in tesco, and there was lots of empty shelves today. it was mostly the frozen food as well. i was looking for, like, fish and stuff, and i was wondering why there was no food. there is very little vegetables in that store, and pure orange juice is completely wiped out. sainsbury‘s, tesco's and asda have all said some products have faced hold—ups or are in limited supply due to the new post—brexit rules.

m&s, meanwhile, has taken precautionary measures, after seeing competitors' lorries delayed at ports. marks & spencer's has temporarily withdrawn more than 300 products from sale in northern ireland — that's about 5% of what you'd normally see in its stores — while it gets to grips with the new paperwork. it includes more specialist items like sushi and some cheeses. since the ist of january, food crossing from britain to northern ireland has needed new paperwork and checks, because northern ireland has remained within the eu single market while the rest of the uk has left. it means that an entire lorry—load could be held up at ports like belfast, even if only one item onboard doesn't have the correct customs declarations filled out. i've got a lot of examples this week where even some of the big supermarkets haven't been prepared for the additional paperwork, but that's only part of the issue. in addition to that, a lot of companies are aware

of the additional requirements and made a business decision to cease supply to northern ireland in the short term until all the teething issues are sorted out. supermarkets say they will get the full range of products back up for sale as they adapt to the new arrangements, but because of some stockpiling over christmas, freight will only begin to return to normal volumes next week. and the government is warning the most difficult period is yet to come. we're working with supermarkets in order to ensure that northern ireland consumers can have an uninterrupted supply of the products that they're used to enjoying. we said that there would be some initial disruption, we're ironing it out, but the situation will get worse before it gets better. agreeing the special arrangements for northern ireland was always one of the most contentious parts of the brexit process, and for now at least, the reality of introducing a new trade border within the uk is becoming plain to see. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. 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 onboard thejet, which disappeared from radar screens over the sea, four minutes after taking off from the capital, jakarta. our south east asia correspondent jonathan head reports. better weather allowed a small flotilla of ships to make progress in the search for flight sji82 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. with all the sport now, here's olly foster at the bbc sport centre. the fa cup didn't disappoint. it certainly hasn't, afternoon to you. we've had six results in the fa cup third round today — and one huge upset. premier league leeds united have been knocked out by crawley town, the league two side winning 3—0 to make it into tomorrow's draw. here's our sports correspondent andy swiss. too cold, grey skies, a day when crawley lit up the cup, 62 league places separated them and leeds united, but from the off you'd scarcely have guessed it, as tom nicholls so nearly put the underdogs ahead. and just after the break, they were ahead, and how!l

ahead. and just after the break, they were ahead, and how! a lovely run into the penalty area, crawley are ahead! what a moment for nick tsa rou lla , are ahead! what a moment for nick tsaroulla, his first—ever goal in senior football. he'll tsaroulla, his first—ever goal in seniorfootball. he'll do tsaroulla, his first—ever goal in senior football. he'll do well to score a better one. remarkably, though, that was just the start, as moments later ashley nadesan made a 2-0, moments later ashley nadesan made a 2—0, a goalkeeping howler but the crawley manager certainly wasn't complaining. and if the fans weren't already pinching themselves, they after this. 3-0 to league two crawley! john tunnicliffe completed leeds' misery and crawley‘s euphoria, and the scoreline did not flatter them. rarely has such a shock seemed quite so straightforward. swiss, bbc news. no scares for the other premier league teams so far today. chelsea beat league two morecambe 4—0. and manchester city swept aside birmingham city from the championship. bernardo silva scored twice inside the first 15 minutes at the etihad stadium. 3—0 the final score there. barnsley and bristol city and cheltenham

he was down in eighth, but the 34—year—old made it onto the podium for only the third time in his career at a world cup. he missed out on silver by two hundredths of a second. don't forget, you can watch all the fa cup goals on the bbc sport website, and you can also follow the masters snooker that started today. tim. olly, many thanks. more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we're back with the late news at ten. 00:21:32,898 --> 2147483051:47:31,164 now on bbc one, it's time 2147483051:47:31,164 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 for the news where you are.
