good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: seven mass coronavirus vaccination centres — capable of injecting thousands of people a week — open across england this morning. we're live at one of them — this is epsom racecourse in surrey. with hopes pinned on the vaccines, as hospital admissions continue to rise, england's chief medical officer, chief medical officer, professor chris whitty, will be here to answer your questions senior democrats in the us set out their plans to remove president trump from office or have him impeached remembering the so—called

"forgotten" — reports there could be new financial help on its way for some of the millions left out of the government's support schemes. i'll take a look. the fa cup upsets just keep coming — crawley town playing the game of their lives to knock out premier league side leeds and reach the fourth round. good morning. it isa it is a milder day for most of us today but a cloudy and blustery, with some rain in the north and west falling as snow in the highlands and grampian. more details in ten minutes. good morning. it's monday, 11th january. our top story. seven mass vaccination centres are opening across england this morning, as the government ramps up the effort to protect 15 million of the most vulnerable people by the middle of next month. nhs england says these new sites mean thousands ofjabs will be delivered every week, as our health correspondent, jim reed, reports.

from today, this will become one of the largest vaccination sites in the country. ashton gate stadium in bristol has been converted into a huge vaccination centre. the south concourse will be open 12 hours a day, delivering thousands of doses a week, if there is enough supply to go around. it's one of seven mass vaccination centres being opened in england, from surrey to manchester, with more planned in the coming months. ok, here we are. ok, go. to start with, locals over 80 years old, plus health and social care staff, will be contacted and asked to book an appointment. we do need to be vaccinating hundreds of thousands of people a day if we're going to get a grip of this pandemic within this country and across the world. so it's notjust a matter of a thousand people coming to the gp practice. it's about hundreds of thousands of people. more gp and hospital sites will also open this week, as the government tries to hit its target of reaching

15 million of the most vulnerable by mid—february. that, after what critics say, has been a slow start to the vaccine roll—out in places. you may end up with a wee bit of a bruise. in scotland, more clinics should also start to receive the oxford—astrazeneca jab this week. and the welsh government is due to publish its new vaccination plan this afternoon. it comes as the pressure on the nhs shows no sign of letting up. a record 32,000 covid patients are in hospital in the uk, a figure that has doubled in six weeks. the most senior nurse in england posted this video online afterfinishing her shift at the weekend. these are tough times. please follow the rules. these nurses, and their colleagues, are working so hard, and thank you to each and every one of them. it's hoped the vaccine roll—out can start to relieve some of that pressure.

but with infections still rising sharply, nhs staff are still likely to have months of tough work ahead of them. jim reed, bbc news. andy moore is outside epsom racecourse in surrey, one of the new mass vaccination sites. andy, good morning. it is, iwould imagine, a busy day ahead?m certainly will be a busy day here. vaccination is due to start in about two hours. you can see vaccination is ready to go. you can see an area where people will sit out for 15 minutes afterwards so somebody can keep an eye on them in case there is an adverse reaction. the whole process will last less than an hour. how are we getting on with the vaccination programme across the country? the health secretary, matt hancock, says 2 million people have already been vaccinated. about a third of the over 805. we are

vaccinating about 200,000 in england alone a day. to get 15 million in those high—ri5k categories vaccinated by the middle of february, we have to raise that it i5 february, we have to raise that it is something like 400,000, which is why these big centres needed. so they will be taking in people from about up to 45 minutes away, 130,000 invitation5 have already been sent out, 500,000 more to come in the coming week. now some elderly people over 80 may not wish to travel that far. it is quite a distance. they may not wish to come to a centre that would be quite busy, with lots of other people. remember, these people have been shielding. they have been told they don't have to come to these places, they can wait and go to their local gp or their local hospital. the advice, don't turn up here on spec and waited to be invited by your gp. don't contact us, we will contact you. andy, thank you. we will be back throughout the

morning. and i know, because we have had many hundreds of them, that so many of you have questions for the chief medical officerfor many of you have questions for the chief medical officer for england, chris whitty, who will be here at half past seven to answer them. we are collating them now. us democrats have laid out their plans to remove president donald trump from office before starting an impeachment process. it comes after the president was accused of encouraging his supporters to storm the capitol building in washington last week. our north america correspondent peter bowes has more. president trump has been widely blamed for inciting the violence behind last week's assault on the us capitol, egging on his supporters, an insurrection at the heart of american democracy. mr trump has one and a half weeks of his term in office remaining. but democrats, and some senior members of his own party, want him out now. the house of representatives is to vote on a resolution urging the vice—president, mike pence, and the cabinet to declare president trump

unfit for thejob. i like the 25th amendment because it gets rid of him out of office. but there is strong support in the congress for impeaching the president a second time. the impeachment process could start by the middle of the week. and there's little doubt it would be passed by the house, controlled by the democrats. whatever the timetable, the backlash against donald trump is intense. this, from the former republican governor of california. president trump sought to overturn the result of an election. and of a fair election. he sought a coup by misleading people with lies. president trump is a failed leader. he will go down in history as the worst president ever. the good thing is that he soon will be as irrelevant as an old tweet. with hisjob hanging in the balance, mrtrump is planning a visit to the border

with mexico on tuesday. he'll visit a stretch of the wall that he promised to build in texas, on what may be the final official trip of his presidency. there are nine long days ahead, and america is holding its breath. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. indonesian divers are trying to retrieve the black box recorders of a plane that crashed into the sea on saturday. thejet, which had 62 people on board, vanished from the radar just minutes after take—off. search teams have already found aircraft parts. mark lobel reports. with painstaking precision parts of flight sj 182 are brought back above ground. laid out piece by piece at this port injakarta, rescuers now think at least the positioning of the wreckage offers a crucial clue as to what may have happened. one indonesian investigator speculating it ruptured when it hit the water, casting doubt

on a mid—air explosion. translation: so far we are focused on narrow areas, but we may expand. we employed around 30 ships, so going forwards, 53 ships will be directly involved in the search and rescue operation. the fate of the missing 62 people on board is now theirfamilies burden, including this 23—year—old crew member. watching for news about her is her brother, who, along with her father, still doesn't understand why she didn't make her regular call to her mother before flying. translation: we really appreciate everyone is doing their best. we can only pray that everything goes smoothly so that the plane and the people inside can be found. the mystery remains. why did the aircraft drop 3000 metres in less than 60 seconds, just four minutes after take—off? hopes are now tied to what flight data and cockpit voice recordings,

the plane's black box might uncover, with its recovery is said to be imminent. translation: there are two signals coming from the black boxes. these can be continuously monitored, so we can mark their co—ordinates. hopefully, we can retrieve them soon and identify the cause of the crash. meanwhile, over 2500 people are now working flat out to help find more of the debris and, rescuers admit, victims, from the shallow waters in which they now sit. mark lobel, bbc news. it is ten past six. you are watching brea kfast it is ten past six. you are watching breakfast stop i love these pictures you have behind you today, carol. they are slightly imposing in a way. good morning. good morning. some of us good morning. good morning. some of us will see some snow. a lot of cloud around, some of us will see some rain, particularly heavy in the

north and west. but it is more or less milder across the board and it is going to be a blustery day. you can see all the cloud that we have. we have some showers and some drizzle but we have also got some rain in the north of scotland and rain in the north of scotland and rain in the west. as this rain engages with the cold air we will see snow down to 300 metres. five to ten centimetres and part of the highlands and grampian. we could see some of that getting down to lower levels through the day as well. temperatures, three in the north to nine further south. and particularly gusty winds with exposure in western areas. through this evening and overnight you can see how this all slips steadily southwards, a lot of cloud with it. some hill snow. behind, some wintry showers. a northerly wind. it will be a cold night. these temperatures represent towns and cities. it could be as cold as —4 or —5 in the countryside.

once again the risk of ice on untreated surfaces in the north, and they will be some frost. further south, look at those temperatures. six to 8 degrees. tomorrow, the weather front pushes down towards the west, where it stalls with its cloud and rain. brighter skies behind, a lot of sunshine, still wintry showers, feeling cool in the north. milder in the south—west. thank you, carol. on a very personal note, i was happy the snake pass going over the pennines was open this morning. it my journey to work easier. bless you. can i say it was my own work? i don't know if you are entirely responsible stop but thank you. the arrival of the covid vaccine has also offered fresh hope to thousands of care home residents. and as the roll—out continues for those at the top of the priority list, breakfast'sjohn maguire has been finding out how it's been going. people living in care homes have been among the most vulnerable in this pandemic.

visits from families, normally such a vital part of daily life, have been under heartbreaking restrictions. just before christmas, rapid testing meant that brendan black could be with his wife joan for the first time in nine months. it was such a relief, i can't tell you. but it's now been stopped again and it's horrible. it's horrible again, you know, but we're getting near the end now. the end game's coming, and that's all i can look forward to doing, because what's happening now, john, is that, erm, because of the lockdown, the home's locked down, the window visits are back. and my wife's so frustrated now because i have to look at her through a window, she walks away, because she just keeps saying, "let him in, he's my husband, he's been in, let him in." brendan's now had his two

vaccination jabs, and joan is scheduled to have hers later this week. for the first time in a long time, there's real hope. the end is nigh, as they say! not my end, i'm glad to say! but i'll be so chuffed. yeah. ican‘t, erm... when i talk aboutjoan, i choke and, erm, it's just horrible. last spring, here in somerset at court house in cheddar, staff made the selfless decision to move into the home in order to throw a blanket of protection over their residents. they stayed for three months. and now, with infection rates rocketing, they're doing the same once more. things have got quite scary out there again now. massive transmission in the community, sedgemore

is really, really up, and the local community, very, very high rates. so i took the decision to move in. one of the reasons was i didn't want to risk bringing it from the outside. the other reason is that i decided to test the staff very rigorously. so i need to be here every dayjust to ensure that that is done properly, and it's very time consuming. but here, too, there's optimism with the arrival of the oxford—astrazeneca jab. every second counts. if someone offered to come in the middle of the night to give our vaccinations, our doors would be open, our arms would be ready. have you had any vaccinations in the last seven days? no. although staff and elderly residents are at the very top of the priority list, the relative delicacy of the pfizer vaccine saw a reluctance to take it to care homes, preferring vaccination centres instead. scotland, though, used a different approach. the pfizer vaccine was taken to care homes from the beginning.

we worked out with pfizer a work around, which enabled us to pack down the large sizes of the doses into packages which could be transportable under appropriate measures to care rooms. and as a result of that, the majority of the vaccinated individuals and care homes in scotland have been vaccinated using the pfizer. and we're, you know, we are continuing with the oxford and astrazeneca. but our hope would be that within the next two to three weeks, all those who are able to be vaccinated in care homes as residents, will be vaccinated. the pandemic has been isolating, terrifying and all too often fatalfor our care homes. but now there is a way out. vaccination is happening and there's not a moment to spare. john maguire, bbc news. let's take a look at today's front pages, which are full of news

about the new mass vaccination hubs. the mirror goes with "the big jab fightback starts today" as its headline. the paper reports the centres are capable of inoculating four people every minute. we are going to be live at one of them in epsom this morning. and on the day the uk's vaccination programme is given a boost, the sun's headline reads, "vax the way to do it!" they are talking about volunteers to help with the vaccination programme. we know this fellow, joe wicks. "get your pe kit on" — the telegraph has an interview withjoe wicks, as he returns with his online fitness classes to get us all moving during lockdown. joe will bejoining us live just before eight. i think he is going to give us a couple of exercises. and it was a chilly weekend, wasn't it? the guardian's front page features a snowy pentland hills, in edinburgh — where temperatures dropped to around —10.

shall i show you some snowy pictures? we didn't have snow. i was a bit disappointed. this is kent. can you see the dog sitting on a bench in kent? in herne bay. in worcestershire, a robin perched in frosty kidderminster. and in the west midlands, somebody taking exercise in a country park. very small pictures you have chosen. minuscule. i spent my weekend looking at the birds on a bird table. you might have to come me down today. i might have to mention my hometown a little bit. even i was excited. i watched the goals and everything. if you have no interest in football, crawley town, my hometown, were taking on leeds united. leeds have not won an fa cup game under their current manager for

quite some time. don't do your team down, down. to be honest, it was very comfortable. it was a 3—0 win. mark wright came on to make his debut for crawley. he is on the programme later along with one of the team members, talking to sally. what a brilliant day for non—league football. i genuinely was really happy for you. my wife was in tears. she was crying at the end of it. how many times that i sat next to you and you could never mention your team? i don't want to go on about it too much. well done to crawley town. did you see the marine and tottenham game as well? that was brilliant. did you see the marine and tottenham game as well? that was brilliantlj didn't game as well? that was brilliant.” didn't see that. i enjoyed as regular cutaways of the family watching from the top of their shed. this is from south korea. i'm not going to say anything about it. i will tell you the story. the city governor has come under fire for

offering tips for women on a website promoting childbirth. suggestions include that they should prepare underwearfor their include that they should prepare underwear for their husbands before going to hospital to give birth. i literally don't know why. they were published by the information centre in seoul, providing tips on preparing for pregnancy. they do include making the dinnerfor said husband before giving birth. and leaving several days of underwear, socks and shirts. i can't look, louise! amazing. i often enjoy that face. my face? no. in the olden days when we could all get together. somebody was giving advice to a mother and it is not going particularly well. i also enjoy the face of the mother, whether to say

something orjust hold it in and remain car. anything else you want to talk about? no. but i think you have got some seals. i have got some seals. seal pups. 400 mile mercy dash. if this baby seal looks as cute as a button now it to a military style operation to transporter 400 miles to safety. have a look. some seal news. they have gone for a signed, sealed and delivered. we have just have gone for a signed, sealed and delivered. we havejust shown have gone for a signed, sealed and delivered. we have just shown you that because of the headline. excellent seal news. good morning. 21 minutes past six. british people with homes in spain are getting to grips with new rules following the end of the brexit transition period. there are differences to how long you can stay in the country, and how much money you'll need. gavin lee takes a look at what's changed. things are changing in spain. the new year's brought storms to the costa del sol. and there are new rules for british

citizens living here, or wanting to. it's been a christmas odyssey from warrington to malaga for lifelong friends jan and sonia, who arrived days before the brexit transition period ended. they're now living together, with their husbands and five pets. it could be enough to make us fall out forever, couldn't it? yes! but we've not. i think it forced our hand, certainly with putting up the houses for sale and making that decision. it's a big decision. you're going to give everything up at home to come and do this. and we did a lot of talking an a lot of thinking about this. for anyone arriving here now as a british citizen, there are some big differences to consider. for tourists, you can stay here up to three months in a six—month period. you can'tjust come and go as you please. if you're coming here to live, you must be earning at least £24,000 a year, or have the equivalent in the bank. and british driving licenses must be changed for spanish ones.

i never thought the uk would ever leave the european union. eric anderson, an ex—shipyard worker from newcastle, has a second home in lanzarote. covid rules means he can't travel at the moment. when he can, it'll be for a much shorter period. ifeel a bit badly let down because this is not something out of the blue. we paid a mortgage for 20 years to have a holiday home and it's just not going to be possible now. it's pretty sad, really. the small town of marchena near seville is where tracy and herfamily have made their home. she left hereford 16 years ago. my husband's spanish, my son santi is spanish and british. and if we ever wanted to move back to the uk as a family, i would be able to. i imagine santi would be able to take out a british passport, so it wouldn't be a problem. but enrique, who's a builder, would need to fit in either with the minimum income or the points—based system, which makes it almost impossible

for us ever to live in the uk again. the latest edition of euro weekly, a newspaper for brits living on the coast. the paper's owner says the deal will have a profound effect on so many lives. pensioners have been quite happy living off their pension, they've got a little bit of savings. feeling like it's a bit like little britain. joe bloggs, he's been coming here for 32 years. he's got a little van, he does a few removals, he does a bit of handiwork. it's all been part of our landscape. now, no, you've got to make a decision. you're either in one camp orthe othercamp. the storm passes and so too, the era of easy travel to spain. british people are no longer the biggest buyers of property on this coast. the brexit effect is reshaping its population. gavin lee, bbc news on the costa del sol. christmas was difficult for many of us this year. but for 77—year—old alan chamberlain it has been a particularly painful time.

alan lost his partner of 55 years to dementia in april last year, and faced further heartbreak when his beloved dog penny was stolen from him just two days before christmas. kevin reide has been to meet him. this is two—year—old penny, a king charles spaniel, cruelly stolen from her owner, alan chamberlain, just two days before christmas. she had managed to escape from their home in brownhills near walsall, after he returned from visiting christmas cards. penny was found momentarily by people in this grey car, but cctv captures a man in a red volkswagen golf arriving and persuading them the dog was his. he hasn't been seen since and the loss hit home on christmas morning. i was sobbing that hard and loud, i put a towel to muffle the sound so i wouldn't disturb the neighbours. it caps off an already difficult yearfor alan,

as his partner of 55 years, margaret, died in a care home in april. he originally bought the dog for her. her having dementia, like, you know, she just broke down and was hugging the dog, like, you know. she's my family, now, like, you know, that's all i've got left. to the man who stole penny, show a bit of heart. it wasn't a very nice way to end the year or two start the new year. a facebook page to try to track down penny has been launched. anybody with information can contact the family via there, or contact the police. that was kevin reide reporting. and we'll be speaking to alan just after nine this morning to get the latest updates on his search for penny. needless to say, if you have seen a penny, if you know where she is, please get in touch. come on, let's sort it out. we'll be joined by england's chief medical officer, chris whitty at 7.30 this morning. he'll be answering your questions.

he's been all over the newspapers and tv. this is your opportunity to ask him a question. we have had hundreds and thousands of them in the last few hours. we put this on social media yesterday. so many of you got in touch. we can't ask him everything. but we have tried tooth theme things together. we will try to get through as many question has begun. thank you for being in touch. it is at half past seven. if you miss it then, you can watch it later on the bbc iplayer. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a mass vaccination centre is set to open at the excel centre in east london today, as efforts to increase the number of people being vaccinated are stepped up. there will also be new sites at epsom racecourse in surrey and robertson house in stevenage.

a 28—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after two men died at a property in ilford. the men were found seriously injured yesterday morning — both died at the scene. the woman, who was tasered during the arrest, also suffered injuries and was taken to hospital. front line nhs staff working to save lives in london's hospitals are said to be up against an increasing amount of mistrust, conspiracy theories and abuse online with protests even outside hospitals. concerns have been raised about the impact on staff mental health. you know, i had a junior doctor who was working in a&e, so i really, really don't want to go in this because there was a whole lot of people outside my hospital who were telling me that covid was a hoax and shouting at me as i left my shift and i was half broken. we just want to keep you safe. we just want you to stay at home. and ijust don't want you to end up in my intensive care unit.

i really don't. with a major incident declared in london surrounding covid cases last week, we'd like to hear your views and experiences of the health service as it faces increasing pressure. do get in touch. let's take a look at the travel situation now. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. milder and breezier today than it has been of late. we're starting off with temperatures

above freezing this time. there's quite a bit of mist around, that mist will lift into low cloud and we'll be keeping those cloudy, rather grey conditions for the rest of the day. but it should be dry or mostly dry — perhaps a few spits and spots of drizzle as we head through the afternoon, and quite a brisk south—westerly wind blowing, too — top temperatures all the way up to between seven and nine degrees celsius. now through this evening and overnight, there'll be some showery outbreaks of rain, always plenty of cloud, and we'll be staying in that mild air, so temperatures probably won't drop below four to six degrees celsius for most of us. so, bit of cloud, some outbreaks of rain around through the morning, and then that will all clear to some colder, brighter conditions as we head towards the end of tuesday. it's quite chilly for the first half of the night on tuesday. some milder air comes through with more outbreaks of rain on wednesday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now, though, it's back to dan and louise. bye for now.

hello this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning... joe wicks is back as the nation's favourite pe teacher today, and he's also launching our new lockdown life series, as we help you through these tough times. the bbc is also hoping to make things easier, as it launches its biggest ever education programme — we'll be joined by professor brian cox to find out how it's going to help children keep up with their studies. remember paul harvey from last year? what a story that was. today, one of the charities that received the money launches a fund in his name.

we'll find out how the cash will help provide music therapy services for people with dementia. as seven mass vaccination centres open their doors across england this morning, some gps are concerned they are not getting supplies of the jab quick enough. let's get more on this with gp dr nighat arif. good morning to you. lovely to see you, as good morning to you. lovely to see you , as ever. good morning to you. lovely to see you, as ever. tell us what's going on in your surgery. do you have the vaccine yet? we don'tjust yet. we should be starting out hopefully in the middle of this week. we have had lows of confusion locally. we don't have the plan was to get the vaccine around the 28th of december, that didn't happen, there were delays around logistics, we hope to get the pfizer vaccine then but the storage issues where a big problem. now we have been told that it should be starting, really excited, i am booked by the 16th of january to have my jab at booked by the 16th of january to have myjab at the booked by the 16th of january to have my jab at the football stadium soi have my jab at the football stadium so i will be heading over there. we are actively getting people,

contacting them and booking their appointments. the over 805 have got letters a nd appointments. the over 805 have got letters and things. across the country, so many of my colleagues have been doing fantastic work already and have started up their vaccine already and have started up their vaccine programme. already and have started up their vaccine programme. it is patchy. all ican vaccine programme. it is patchy. all i can say to people is with us. do not co nta ct i can say to people is with us. do not contact your local gp, you will be contacted by the nhs through different means, and that is how you book it. care homes, health care workers, it is slow than we would like it to be. it has been a month since the vaccine programme started. we only have 2 million people vaccinated and that is not enough to get a handle on the pandemic. hopefully with these hubs open it will be so much better. if matt hancock sticks to his promise then by august we should be able to get the nation vaccinated. let's talk about the hubs. some people are being offered places there, i understand, and it may be in some way from where they live. if they don't want to go there, can they get

an appointment from their gp with yellow firstly, i want to say that everybody who has done all the work behind the hubs, it is immense. locally i know that gps have been trying to organise the hub distribution as well as do their day—to—day gp practice work so it is amazing, this level of work going on in the background. you will be contacted and that will be by letter ora contacted and that will be by letter or a text message or some people are saying they are being e—mailed. if you don't manage to get to these hubs, because i know some of them, the concern is the distance will be too farfor them, there is only seven that are being set up across the country. there will be the opportunity to go to your nhs practice. i also heard that boots will be distributing the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, as well, so there is a lot of work being done to try to ramp up this vaccination as much as possible. but be careful with the vaccination because i know

we are with the vaccination because i know we a re really with the vaccination because i know we are really excited and the vaccination programme is going to hopefully get a handle on the situation, but what we still need to do is be wearing ourfacemasks, the social distancing, be in lockdown, and these difficult decisions and sacrifices we are making i the only way to get a handle on the pandemic because we don't know whether these vaccines at the minute you stop the transmission. we know it builds up immunity but it is the transmission rate we need to cut down. either some particular communities that are particularly worried about having the vaccine, for example? there has been a lot of mumbling on the ground andi been a lot of mumbling on the ground and i have had gps contact me locally saying we are really concerned about black and asian and ethnic minorities possibly enough by participating in it. around december there were lots of whatsapps m essa g es there were lots of whatsapps messages and particularly facebook m essa g es messages and particularly facebook messages from anti—vaxxers and a lot of misinformation. i am going to

bust those myths again because i know we have gone through them. for the muslim community, the british islamic muslim association and the council have, since the 6th of december, but an open letter out to the community saying the vaccines are permissible in islam. there is no pork derivatives within the vaccines. these are not life vaccines. these are not life vaccines. they do not take over your brain, there are no 5g in them, no chips inside them. it is really important that communities engage with the really important messages. please speak to your scholars, talk to professionals, be guided by your gp. do not be taken in by this misinformation because, as communities, we need to work harder and we know, historically, from the first and second lockdown, that black and asian ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected by covid—19. there have been more deaths in those communities and we

need to look into it why that is happening. we are still getting those debts so it is really important that we try to stamp out this misinformation and look at valid resources. nighat, such a pleasure to speak to you, as ever. thank you for your cheeriness and the important messages. thank you. i will be fighting for sally to have as much time as possible that you can have 25 minutes to talk about crawley town. the first thing i did was think of you. this is your moment tojust enjoy was think of you. this is your moment to just enjoy this. you feel free to talk about crawley town quite sure we keep going for the next 20 minutes or so? let's see, shall we? 62 places separate them, but you wouldn't have known it — crawley town beating leeds united 3—0 at their broadfield stadium. nick tsaroulla set them on their way — he was playing only his seventh game in senior football. he suffered serious injuries in a car crash three years ago and he was released by the tottenham academy not long afterwards.

and jordan tunnicliffe added a third for crawley, who are into the fourth round for only the third time, having spent most of their 125—year existence in non—league football. i kind ofjust lost myself in the moment there. it's been a long, hard road for me and this is a great moment, so i'm really proud. i'm getting a bit emotional now. yeah, it's been a tough road. it means a lot — that goal, and that win. 0h, oh, my goodness, i think dan is going to go! that's what it's all about. marine's dream run came to an end, though — they were well beaten by tottenham, who are 160 places above them in the football pyramid. lucas moura scored from an equisite free kick and carlos vinicius scored a 13—minute hat—trick. but the biggest smile of the night came from 16—year—old substitute alfie devine, who became tottenham's

youngest ever player and then scored on his debut. a great occasion for him and for marine, who generated some much—needed income with the sale of over 30,000 virtual tickets. we can be very proud of the cup run. you know, we've had an eventful week in terms of, you know, press and media — everyone's been here because of the tie. as you say, you know, the the football community — and in particular, you know, the tottenham hotspur supporters have been incredible. you know, to sell over 20,000 tickets, you know, for our football club in a very tough time. you know, non—league in particular — we're not playing at the moment, football's suspended and, there's many non—league clubs currently, you know, struggling financially. so this for us is, you know, is nice. rangers are a massive 22 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership, after winning 2—1 at aberdeen. alfredo morelos scored either side of the break, made up for that with two goals to make it 15 wins in a row for rangers — they haven't lost in the league all season.

with the women's super league fixture list down to just one game because of covid—19, chelsea made up for it with a stunning performance against reading. they beat them 5—0 — england striker fran kirby scoring four of those, against her old club. that took them to within three points of the league leaders manchester united, with a game in hand. oli hoskins helped rescue a dramatic draw for london irish against harlequins in rugby union's premiership. quins had led 17 points to seven at one stage but hoskins forced his way through to score a try with just two minutes left. london irish were back in action after missing three weeks due to a covid—19 outbreak. it feels as though we've had non—stop action at the marshall arenal in milton keynes, with so many events moved there to take advantage of the covid—secure facilities. now it's the turn of the masters snooker — and kyren wilson came safely through to the first round, with a 6—2 win over gary wilson — no relation.

coverage continues on bbc two from three o'clock. let's go back to the fa cup now. non—league chorley celebrated their 2—0 win at victory park against derby over the weekend with their traditional rendition of adele's someone like you. # never mind, i'll find someone like you. # i wish nothing but the best for you, too. and their victory song did not go unnoticed after adele showed her appreciation on twitter, posting a love heart in response to their video. isn't that fantastic? they have finally got her attention! andy preece, chorley‘s assistant manager, joins us now. good morning. i know you have had a little bit of time now to let the news and settle in. you must still be on cloud nine. absolutely. it's

unbelievable, the achievements we have done so far in the fa cup. you know, to beat two teams from ligue one, a team from... and the fifth round on monday. delighted, and to get that love height from adele, that'sjust topped get that love height from adele, that's just topped everything get that love height from adele, that'sjust topped everything off. what is it about these boys, this tea m what is it about these boys, this team that is so special chris i am a special chris i am... from last season. same of how they have gelled together so well. they get on really well. work hard to get. there's a lot done for a lot of young lads. derby has a lot of young lads but we have a lot in our squad who have been at places... the league...

andy, i think we are struggling a tiny bit with your sound. i am going to try one more question if i can. explain to everyone at home what it is about the adele song, why is that so special, i do they sing that every time chris i am —— every time? we may have to wait to hear about that. who knows the answer? it is such a shame but isn't it great that at last... we have clips of them singing that all over social media for quite a long time isn't it great that finally she sent them that little love height? it's lovely, i love that. it is wonderful to see how much work went into that game on saturday. the groundsman is called ben kaye and they have donor had attended over the pitch and he like... isay attended over the pitch and he like... i say he slept, he spent the night on the tent under the pitch. the manager was calling him at 2am to make sure everything was ok. they

we re to make sure everything was ok. they were using hair dryers and kettles, everything they could get onto there. they were playing derby, and someone from derby, who i am sure was a nottingham forest fan, came all the way from derby and fixed the generator that had broken down to make sure the game went ahead. great to c. and crawley town, is well.” could talk about that, i can talk about the cup run ten years ago. carroll, where are you? crawley town? what is the weather like in crawley? i don't care about anywhere else! good morning! it is a cloudy start to the day before many of us it is milder than it has been. look at this cracker of a weather watcher picture sent in about half an hour ago. we had some beautiful sunsets and some of us will see some

beautiful sunrises today, as well. today it will be milder than it has been for most of the uk but it is also cloudy with rain and quite blustery. we have this where front across scotland producing heavy rain. look at the blues behind it but look at the yellow is ahead, indicating the milder air. but look at the yellow is ahead, indicating the milderair. blue is colder air. indicating the milderair. blue is colderair. increasingly we indicating the milderair. blue is colder air. increasingly we have some heavy and persistent rain, especially in northern and western parts of scotland. as this cold air digs in, we see more snow falling. again it will be accumulating above about 300 metres in the grampians and also in the highlands. we could see some of that at lower levels. elsewhere, a lot of cloud across england, wales, northern ireland. some rain but not as heavy as we have got further north. blustery winds. gusty gusty today especially across the hills and the west, gusting up to 50 mph and these are our best temperatures. three in the north, eight or nine as we push

towards the south. through this evening and overnight, the weather front sinks south, taking its cloud and rain with it. for a time we could see snow on the hills across northern england, possibly northern ireland. behind it, under clear skies, it will be cold with the risk of ice and untreated surfaces and also some frost and still some wintry showers coming in across the north of scotland. the rain becomes ensconced across some western areas and also into the south. could be quite heavy, not just and also into the south. could be quite heavy, notjust today and also into the south. could be quite heavy, not just today but also into tomorrow. across parts of wales. here is our weather front seeking south, still in the milder air but look how the blues get that bit further south, as well. it is going to be a cold day tomorrow for more of us. a lot of clear skies and still some wintry showers coming in on this northerly breeze down the north and east coast and then you can see our weather front, producing a lot of cloud and some rain. here it means temperatures will be higher. about 11 degrees in cardiff,

plymouth and st helier. 4 degrees in newcastle, edinburgh and aberdeen. what happens then chris oh elephants were pushing it and eastward, taking its rain with it and as it engages with the cold air out some of us will see some snow, mostly on the hills. brightness in final east of scotland but still a lot of cloud behind it. thank you for that. we will see you later this morning. millions of people feel they've been left behind and left out of the government's financial support schemes since the beginning of the pandemic last year. however, there are reports a small number of them could be getting some good news soon. nina's got all the details for us. good morning, nice to see you. this would be huge if it does happen. we have talked a lot about those who at the time the pandemic struck when working out in many cases had been working for many yea rs many cases had been working for many years but slipped through the cracks of the support scheme. it helped

coming for some of them? let's remind us for some of the help. the biggest measure has been the furlough scheme, orjob retention scheme. that is where the government pays up scheme. that is where the government pays up to 80% of the wages of those usually on the payroll. that scheme has so far supported more than 10 millionjobs and has so far supported more than 10 million jobs and has has so far supported more than 10 millionjobs and has now been extended until april. for those who are self—employed, who do their own books, the government has also offered up to 80% of their average annual profits. between the two scheme over £60 million has been spent. could also apply for grants and loans and there is universal credit available to everyone, but has the system been fair. it is estimated there are around 3 million working people not eligible for the support scheme, including those newly self—employed, those who have just started a job, but also company directors. their income often comes from something called diffidence,

chunks of cash taken out of the business, but because sometimes dividends are also paid to people who don't necessarily work for the business, investors for example, the government said it was impossible to work out a fair scheme. people like kate, who runs an event business, and whose work has dried up entirely, people like herfeel they have been abandoned. we see ourselves as self—employed but we are not. once we incorporated our business and became a limited company and the way we structure to pay ourselves, that meant we were not able to access the self—employed input support scheme. it has been extremely difficult. my husband is an electrical contractor, runs his own business and is also limited. the construction industry went back sooner than events have done, so we have had to completely rely on his salary. realistically i business, i don't think, will last past march. there isjust nothing left there. i'm taking money out of my own personal savings and it will not

la st personal savings and it will not last unless we can get back to work and start actually bringing some income and revenue into the company. such a blow for kate but also for the hairdressers, plumbers, builders. they have always played by the rules and now have been left out. could things be about to change? a group of experts headed by the federation of small businesses has come up with an idea based on profit rather than the dividends. the directors income support scheme would be limited to sole traders earning less than £50,000 per year. it would pay out grants of 80% of average profits, capped at £7,500 for a three—month period, very similar the existing self—employed support scheme. the people behind this so they put this to the government and i'm hoping that they will listen. i they listening? government and i'm hoping that they will listen. ithey listening? the treasury told us they have no specific plans to change policy but say they are always reviewing their plans. important to say that even if

this does go ahead it would only make up less than one third of those who say they have worked, they are on the books and jet have been left out. a lot of unhappy people even if that goes ahead and you can see why. thank you very much. you'll remember we've been following the story of paul harvey, the former music teacher living with dementia. he moved us after composed a piece of music from just four notes. one breakfast viewer was so touched he donated a million pounds. now, one of the charities that benefited has set up a fund in paul's name. graham satchell has more. music: lake in the moonlight from swan lake. if you ever wondered about the extraordinary power of music, watch this.

former ballerina marta cinta gonzalez. this video posted by spanish dementia charity called music to awaken. music can reach back through the depths of time to unlock memories. paul harvey's dementia is affecting his memory, but he comes alive at the piano — his improvised tune from just four notes inspired this remarkable moment. so my wife marion and i would like to help you by donating £1 million from the hunter foundation to help...put a light into trying to

release people from alzheimer's. we really believe music is a key, we really believe you're onto something and we really want to help. i don't know what to say. thank you. the paul & nick harvey fund officially launches today. it'll help support musical activities for people living with dementia. # knees up, mother brown, knees up, mother brown. # under the table you must go. # ee—aye, ee—aye, ee—aye—oh. a music therapy session at a care home in croydon run by the charity mha — these pictures filmed for us by care—home staff. # oh, when the saints go marching in. a smile, a tapping foot — even residents with severe dementia can be rejuvenated by this kind of session. music stimulates pretty much every part of our brain one way or another.

and what music does is bring them back to themselves. it's not magic because it's... you know, it's real. but sometimes it looks quite magical. hello! good morning! this is a music for memory session run by the tibbs dementia foundation. # here we are again, happy as can be. # all good friends and jolly good company. it triggers a lot of memories in my mind, as i'm saying. you say you have got memory problems, but it's just finding the triggers to trigger the memories. the more we see each other, the more we recognise each other. and with our groups, it's like just coming back to a big family. that's it — a happy one. # wherever you go you'll always find a geordie. hear the geordie twang.

it is extraordinary that people whose memories are fading can remember all the words to a song. # somebody's bound to grab your hand. # wherever you go a geordie will be there — why—aye! # zip a dee doo—dah, dip—a—dee—ay. right from way back i've loved music. # plenty of sunshine. and i kind of... when i'm listening to music it gives me a boost. # zip a dee doo—dah, zip—a—dee—ay. # wonderful feeling, wonderful day. the paul & nick harvey fund, which will help groups like this, is worth half a million pounds. it's always a wonderful day when we get together. it's lovely. oh, it's a significant amount of money and if, you know, it can go to other groups who can...and groups like ours,

which can then go out and bring joy and happiness and hope to people with dementia, then it's got to be a fantastic thing. # so i say thank you for the music, for giving it to me, oh! thank you. amazing. thank you, all. i love that. that's one of my favourite stories of last year, paul and nick heidi, i think it's brilliant, uplifting stuck we will speak to them later. hopefully, at about 8:50am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a mass vaccination centre is set to open at the excel centre in east london today, as efforts to increase the number of people

being vaccinated are stepped up. there will also be new sites at epsom racecourse in surrey and robertson house in stevenage. a 28—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after two men died at a property in ilford. the men were found seriously injured yesterday morning. both died at the scene. the woman, who was tasered during the arrest, also suffered injuries and was taken to hospital. frontline nhs staff working to save lives in london's hospitals, are said to be up against an increasing amount of mistrust, conspiracy theories and abuse online, with protests even outside hospitals. concerns have been raised about the impact on staff mental health. you know, i had a junior doctor who was working in a&e, said i really, really don't want to go in because there was a whole lot of people outside my hospital who were telling me that covid was a hoax and shouting at me as i left my shift and i was heartbroken. we just want to keep you safe. we just want you to stay at home.

and ijust don't want you to end up in my intensive care unit. i really don't. with a major incident declared in london surrounding covid cases last week, we'd like to hear your views and experiences of the health service as it faces increasing pressure. do get in touch. email yourlondon@bbc.co.uk, or you can find us on twitter @bbclondonnews and on bbc london facebook. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, the district line has minor delays. all other lines have a good service on the trains, buses replace trains on great western services between redhill and gatwick airport for emergency repairs. turning to the roads then and there queues westbound on the a2 from black prince to danson due to roadworks. on the a13, two lanes are closed eastbound at the wennington interchange for bridge surface repairs. finally, lambeth bridge is closed eastbound for emergency gas works. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini.

hello, good morning. milder and breezier today than it has been of late. we're starting off with temperatures above freezing this time. there's quite a bit of mist around, that mist will lift into low cloud and we'll be keeping those cloudy, rather grey conditions for the rest of the day. but it should be dry or mostly dry — perhaps a few spits and spots of drizzle as we head through the afternoon, and quite a brisk south—westerly wind blowing, too — top temperatures all the way up to between seven and nine degrees celsius. now through this evening and overnight, there'll be some showery outbreaks of rain, always plenty of cloud, and we'll be staying in that mild air, so temperatures probably won't drop below four to six degrees celsius for most of us. so, bit of cloud, some outbreaks of rain around through the morning, and then that will all clear to some colder, brighter conditions as we head towards the end of tuesday. it's quite chilly for the first half of the night on tuesday. some milder air comes through with more outbreaks of rain on wednesday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour.

now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: seven mass coronavirus vaccination centres, where thousands of people a week can be injected, open across england this morning.

we're live at one of them. this is epsom racecourse in surrey. with hopes pinned on the vaccines, as hospital admissions continue to rise, england's chief medical officer, professor chris whitty, will be here to answer your questions senior democrats in the us set out their plans to remove president trump from office or have him impeached. next thing we are going to do is this marching on the spot, bringing your knees to your elbows. so lifting that up. perfect. time to get your pe kit on — joe wicks is back today, keeping the nation fit with online workouts, and kicking off a new series on breakfast, looking at lockdown life. good morning. todayis today is going to be milder than it has been for most of us. it is also going to be cloudy and blustery with some rain and some snow in the highlands and grampian. details in ten minutes.

good morning. it's monday, 11th january. our top story. seven mass vaccination centres are opening across england this morning, as the government increases the effort to protect 15 million of the most vulnerable people by the middle of next month. nhs england says these new sites mean thousands ofjabs will be delivered every week, as our health correspondent, jim reed reports. from today, this will become one of the largest vaccination sites in the country. ashton gate stadium in bristol has been converted into a huge vaccination centre. the south concourse will be open 12 hours a day, delivering thousands of doses a week, if there is enough supply to go around. it's one of seven mass vaccination centres being opened in england, from surrey to manchester, with more planned in the coming months. ok, here we are. 0k, go. to start with, locals over 80 years old, plus health and social care staff,

will be contacted and asked to book an appointment. we do need to be vaccinating hundreds of thousands of people a day if we're going to get a grip of this pandemic within this country and across the world. so it's notjust a matter of a thousand people coming to the gp practice. it's about hundreds of thousands of people. more gp and hospital sites will also open this week, as the government tries to hit its target of reaching 15 million of the most vulnerable by mid—february. that, after what critics say, has been a slow start to the vaccine roll—out in places. you may end up with a wee bit of a bruise. in scotland, more clinics should also start to receive the oxford—astrazeneca jab this week. and the welsh government is due to publish its new vaccination plan this afternoon. it comes as the pressure on the nhs shows no sign of letting up. a record 32,000 covid patients are in hospital in the uk, a figure that has doubled in six weeks. the most senior nurse in england

posted this video online afterfinishing her shift at the weekend. these are tough times. please follow the rules. these nurses, and their colleagues, are working so hard, and thank you to each and every one of them. it's hoped the vaccine roll—out can start to relieve some of that pressure. but with infections still rising sharply, nhs staff are still likely to have months of tough work ahead of them. jim reed, bbc news. andy moore is outside epsom racecourse in surrey, one of the new mass vaccination sites. this is an enormous logistical operation, isn't it? tell us what is going on there today will stop yes, good morning. the first vaccination is due to take place in an hour. the staff are getting ready for their first customers. you can see in the

foyer area one of the grandstands where some of those vaccinations will be carried out. you may be able to see seats two metres apart. that is where some of the people will wait for about 15 minutes after they have had their vaccinations, just to make sure they don't have any adverse reaction. and where are we in the vaccination process so far? well, matt hancock, the health secretary, says that 2 million have been carried out. about a third of them are the over 805. and we are hitting a target of about 200,000 vaccinations in england at the moment. but in order to get a 15 million of those most vulnerable people we have to raise that to about 400,000 a day. that is why this centre, other centres around the country, super—centres, will be opened up. and lots more gp and hospital sites, all of them trying to increase the number of people vaccinated in the uk every day. andy, thank you for bringing us up to date. we will be with you later.

at 7.30 this morning we'll be joined by the chief medical officer for england, professor chris whitty, to answer some of your questions. so many of you have been sending in questions. we are collating them. we will speak to him at half past seven. if you miss it you can watch it later on the bbc iplayer. we are also aware that people are switching on all the time, which is why we have mentioned it. there are so many questions coming in. we're going to be speaking to the chief medical officer for england in the next half hour, and he's expected to reinforce the importance of the government's stay at home message. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is in westminster this morning. adam, are we expecting the government to introduce any tighter measures in the near future? morning. i don't think we are going to get a new tighter measures. maybe not now, maybe not at all, because

there is not actually a lot left government can do. they don't want to get rid of support bubble two because i think that would be bad for people at risk of loneliness or who are vulnerable. they don't want people to stop going out for their daily exercise. and of the prime minister doesn't like the idea of a curfew because he doesn't think it is the british way and it probably wouldn't work. so you are left with just how do you reinforce the existing rules? ministers and officials are actually quite worried. i would say they are actually quite scared that people are not following the lockdown restrictions introduced a week ago today. and so you have got two ways of doing that. number one you are about to see it in half an hour, someone like chris whitty, a trusted medical knows what is going on, laying it out straight to people what the risks are to the nhs and what the risks are to the nhs and what the risks are to the nhs and what the risks are if you don't follow the rules. no matter how unpleasant and annoying they are. and the second thing you can do is tighten up the enforcement of the rules that you have got. so i understand there is a bit of concern

around how people are behaving in supermarkets. it is not an opportunity to see your mates and you should be wearing a mask when you should be wearing a mask when you are going down the frozen food aisle. so maybe when we get some language around supermarkets been tougher with their customers. and also, the police, last week we saw the met police in london saying they we re the met police in london saying they were going to move through their process a bit more quickly when they start off by kinda warning you, giving you guidance about the rules, and it only at the last minute that you get a fine. they are going to do that more quickly now. i suspect we will see more police forces across the uk doing that approach. i cannot wait to hear your interview with chris whitty, because he knows exactly what is going on, he is in the room where the big decisions are made and crucially, he doesn't do a lot of interviews. he is a very busy man. it's great you have got him. we look forward to it as well. he will be hearing about 20 minutes. we will be hearing about 20 minutes. we will be talking the issue of enforcement with a couple of police officers in

a couple of minutes. so many of your questions as well. we will get through as many of them as we can. us democrats have laid out their plans to remove president donald trump from office, before starting an impeachment process. it comes after the president was accused of encouraging his supporters to storm the capitol building in washington last week. our north america correspondent peter bowes has more. president trump has been widely blamed for inciting the violence behind last week's assault on the us capitol, egging on his supporters, an insurrection at the heart of american democracy. mr trump has one and a half weeks of his term in office remaining. but democrats, and some senior members of his own party, want him out now. the house of representatives is to vote on a resolution urging the vice—president, mike pence, and the cabinet to declare president trump unfit for thejob. i like the 25th amendment because it gets rid of him out of office. but there is strong support in the congress for impeaching the president a second time.

the impeachment process could start by the middle of the week. and there's little doubt it would be passed by the house, controlled by the democrats. whatever the timetable, the backlash against donald trump is intense. this, from the former republican governor of california. with hisjob hanging in the balance, mrtrump is planning a visit to the border with mexico on tuesday. he'll visit a stretch of the wall that he promised to build in texas, on what may be the final official trip of his presidency. there are nine long days ahead, and america is holding its breath. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles.

here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it doesn't bode well, from what i can see. good morning. good morning. it was a chilly weekend for many. todayis it was a chilly weekend for many. today is going to be much milderfor many. not everyone. it is also going to be blustery. a fairly cloudy. some rain and some snow in the forecast. we are starting off on a cloudy note. a few showers, some drizzle, rain across northern scotland, some of it persistent, particularly in the north—west. as the cold air digs and you can see where we are going to have some snow. snow accumulating above about 300 metres or so. we could have five to ten centimetres. even at lower levels we could see one to two centimetres. gusty winds, especially in the west end the coasts and the hills, and these are the

temperatures. nines and tens. colder air in the far north of scotland is represented by the blues on the chart. through this evening and overnight you can see how the rain continues to sink south. you can see some snow on the hills across northern england, potentially northern ireland, snow showers following behind. we are looking at a cold night with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces and some frost in the northern half of the country. you can see the difference in the south. a lot of cloud, some rain, some of it across wales has the potential to be heavy and milder. tomorrow we start off with all this cloud and rain and it becomes ensconced in the south and parts of the west where it will be milder. much colder, brighter and sunnier as we push further north and east. thank you, carol. see you in half an hour. with england in its third national lockdown, there are increasing concerns that public compliance with the rules is beginning to wane. it comes after an urgent review was launched by derbyshire police, following a complaint from two women

who were each fined £200 for driving five miles to take a walk. jessica allen and eliza moore were stopped by officers who also told them that the hot drinks they were carrying were not allowed, as they were "classed as a picnic". we take these guidelines really seriously. my brother's a doctor who works on the covid wards, you know. my parents have both had it, you know. we are trying to follow the rules. we haven't come out wanting to break the law. we're not a party. there isn't five of us. you see on social media people flying away on holiday, having parties and somehow we were the people that have been lumped with this fine and it just doesn't seem fair. let's talk about that. so many other things to talk about as well. hardyal dhindsa is derbyshire's police and crime commissioner, and joins us now. good morning. if we can, let's deal with that case in point. was it right that they were fined for what they did? first of all, can i say

that i am incredibly proud of the police force in derbyshire, police officers and police staff, who are doing a very difficultjob in very trying circumstances when the public are concerned about protecting themselves, particularly in hot spots, trying to make sure are fair and balanced with the ever changing regulations and guidance which comes from government, which is unprecedented for police to deal with with the changing rules and regulations all the time. it's no wonder that in certain circumstances like this sometimes when they are trying to do the bestjob they can, they get it wrong. what i have asked they get it wrong. what i have asked the chief, is to do is to review these particular cases, which were, by the way, early on in the new regulations coming in. i think wednesday afternoon, something like

that. the before it is when the came out. so all over the country police officers trying to understand and do their best to protect those people concerned and protect freedom.” think you said when things go wrong. so do you think that was wrong then? having looked at it, listening to what i know, it looks as if we might have been able to deal with it differently. but it is an operational matter. i have asked the chief, is to review these cases. and if the police acted in error, the fines can be rescinded by them. we have a quality insurance check. that will be undertaken quite urgently. and ifan will be undertaken quite urgently. and if an error was made operationally, then, of course, we are big enough to say we apologise

and rescind those notices. 0k. going forward , and rescind those notices. 0k. going forward, because we are going to speak to chris whitty shortly on this programme, the compliance with the current rules is really important for everyone's safety. is there a danger that perhaps a force might bea there a danger that perhaps a force might be a bit overzealous, and that might be a bit overzealous, and that might put people off complying with the rules? it could be. but i think in the main when the police are engaging with the public, the public are very compliant and followed the guidance and the instruction given by police officers. and if you think of the hundreds and thousands of calls to police that come through on covid—19, the number of notices given out are small. in derbyshire and across the country the police are usually meeting with the public who comply. but of course the

problem is, however the lockdown rules and regulations in place? the review of them is something that needs to be logged in. this lockdown is not the same as the one in march when, if you look at traffic on the roads, it is still quite high, because people are still going to work, because we want to make sure the economy doesn't start going in the economy doesn't start going in the wrong direction too far. and the activity on our roads and in our spacesis activity on our roads and in our spaces is much more than the lockdown we had in march. thank you very much. we're joined now by paul netherton, deputy chief constable at devon & cornwall police. good morning to you. good to spend some time with you this morning. hopefully you were able to listen in to that interview. i know it is outside of your area but how do you respond to those who might be listening this morning, and hearing in the last few days about derbyshire police fining those two

women £200? do you think that was fair? i think the first thing i have got to say is the message is really clear. it is stay—at—home. the reason we are doing that is because the infection rate is going up, the r number is over one and thousands of people are dying every single day. as a consequence the government cabin trying to put in rules to try to stop people mixing. now if that means that people are going to supermarkets, as you described earlier, or a meeting together in groups, we are continuing to spread the infection. and it's really important that the public listen to the advice that is going to be given by chris whitty, listen to the police officers who are engaging them, explaining why the rules are in place, and only using enforcement when people are not listening. and they need to stay at home and

protect themselves and protect others. in devon and cornwall we are stopping people. we are asking where people have travelled from. we are having to make a really difficult judgment about what is reasonable and what is not. but the key message remains stay—at—home. and what is not. but the key message remains stay-at-home. there might be people watching this morning thinking, that approach is overzealous. how do you respond to that? and also with those day—to—day conversations you are having with members of the public, what are you telling your police officers to do and how to act in that situation where they are accused of being overzealous ? where they are accused of being overzealous? i am the national lead for civil contingencies and one of the jobs i have to do is to look at mortuary capacity across the uk. i have to work with colleagues to make sure that we have got body storage for thousands of people who are dying every single day from this

disease. and i know it's incredibly frustrating for people and i know they want to meet with their friends, i know they want to get out and exercise and basically get back to normality. but at the reality is if we keep mixing, the disease keeps going up. and so police officers are trying to explain that two members of the public. and yes, they don't wa nt of the public. and yes, they don't want to be seen as draconian, they don't want to be seen as ruining people's enjoyment of the outdoors. but what they have got to do, and this is what my officers are doing, is they are going out and they are telling people that the risk that they are taking a mixing is causing they are taking a mixing is causing the disease to continue to go up. we have to stop that and we are going to do it by increasing enforcement. people know what the rules are by now. they know that the message is very simple. stay—at—home. they do understand that they can exercise but they should do so locally and

only with one other person. and of course what is happening is, as your la st caller course what is happening is, as your last caller said, the pcc for derbyshire said, people are beginning to flout the rules. they are beginning to think, how can i get away with the rules? on that issue, do you think compliance is harder to get now than it has been in the other lockdowns we have experienced? yes, i think people are beginning to get fed up with it. i can understand that, but we have to be firm. we have to save lives. we have to make sure that people are keeping apart, isolating and staying at home. thank you very much for being with us. good to speak to you. paul netherton, deputy chief co nsta ble of paul netherton, deputy chief constable of devon and cornwall police. we are speaking to chris whitty in the next ten minutes. while the opening of seven mass vaccination centres today may be encouraging news, the coronavirus situation in london

is concerning officials. let's take a look at the figures there. the office for national statistics estimates that around eight in ten recent positive cases of covid—19 in london could be the new uk variant. and a study, run by king's college london, has found that one in 42 people in the capital now has the symptoms of the virus. let's speak to professor rupert pearse, who's an intensive care doctor at a london hospital, and also represents the intensive care society. good morning to you. we are going to be speaking to professor chris whitty in a few minutes. the quote that many will have read of his over the weekend is that the nhs faces the weekend is that the nhs faces the most is situated in living memory. is that your assessment as well? it is certainly the most difficult situation i have ever encountered in my career, absolutely. and i never expected to encounter something is difficult.” think it's a minority, but there are some people who say surely the nhs

is struggling every winter. you are living and working through this. what is different to what you are seeing now compared to a normal winter? well, obviously there are various different parts of the nhs, but in the intensive care unit, where i work, in a normal winter we might see a few cases of flu. very unlikely to have three or four at any one time sick enough to need intensive care in the icu where i work. we are currently running about 130 intensive care beds right now with a plan to expand that past 100 and. and the vast majority of those patients have covid—19. —— passed 150. to compare this to a normal winter flu at the dick academic —— epidemic... i don't know if you just heard the police officer we were speaking to from devon and cornwall

talking about how it is harder to get members of the public to comply to lockdown restrictions than it has been during the other lockdowns that we have experienced. what would your message be this morning to try and prevent that worst—case scenario? i think i would say i understand. i am living in a lockdown too. my kids are home—schooling, my father—in—law is waiting for urgent cardiac surgery, which has been delayed. one of my elder daughters has missed her a—levels last year. so i am experiencing all those same things. but at work i know that the health service is very, very close to being overwhelmed in a way that will affect the health care that we all need all the time, whether you have covid—19 or, whether you have something else, whether you have a healthy person unlucky enough to get hit by a bus, the health care available to all of us is not the same right now. unless we all understand that crisis and realise

this is only something we can get passedif this is only something we can get passed if we all work together as a single team, then the situation is only going to get worse. what impact is this having on you and other members of staff, and those working where you are at the moment? staff across the nhs, notjust in intensive care, but on the respiratory wards, the ambulance crews in primary care, are very wary. they are very, very tired. and their morale is really hit very hard bya their morale is really hit very hard by a tiny minority in our society cruel enough to suggest we are making this whole thing up, as if we have conspired with governments around the world to create this situation. and others whojust around the world to create this situation. and others who just don't think enough about the person next to them. they need to really start caring for each other a lot more or the situation is going to get out of

control. that issue of people thinking it is made up and it is not really happening, and the issues you are facing day in, day out are not really happening, is that something you discuss as members of staff? does that upset you, does it frustrate you, does it weigh heavily upon you that people don't think it is actually happening? it is demoralising. it is nothing short of demoralising. it is nothing short of demoralising. it is nothing short of demoralising. i can't think of any other word to describe it. is it something you talk about with your colleagues? yeah, we do. all of us will give you messages of the traffic jam they said will give you messages of the trafficjam they said in going to work or the tube train they set on where people were not socially distancing. but my biggest concern is not just distancing. but my biggest concern is notjust on public transport or in shops or in the high street. one of the biggest worries about the infection control is people mixing infamily

infection control is people mixing in family households. many of the cases we have seen with covid, they have not caught it from a stranger in the street, they have caught it from a family member who has moved from a family member who has moved from one household to another to mix. that is a serious problem. we really appreciate your time. thank you for your hard work. good to speak to you. some of those points as well, we will speak to chris whitty actually about those. thank you so much for all your questions for england's chief medical officer. we will get through as many as we can. in just a few moments, we'll be joined by england's chief medical officer, chris whitty. we have looked at those questions and there are key themes emerging. we'll be getting answers to the questions you've been asking. there are some which we want to know. he is going to be here after the news, travel and weather. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a mass vaccination centre is set to open at the excel centre in east london today as efforts to increase

the number of people being vaccinated are stepped up. there will also be new sites at epsom racecourse in surrey, and robertson house in stevenage. a 28—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after two men died at a property in ilford. the men were found seriously injured yesterday morning — both died at the scene. the woman, who was tasered during the arrest, also suffered injuries and was taken to hospital. frontline nhs staff working to save lives in london's hospitals are said to be up against an increasing amount of mistrust, conspiracy theories and abuse online, with protests even outside hospitals. concerns have been raised about the impact on staff mental health. you know, i had a junior doctor who was working in a&e, who said, "i really... i really don't want to go in because there was a horde of people outside my hospital who were telling me that covid was a hoax and shouting at me as i left my shift and i was half broken." we just want to keep you safe.

we just want you to stay at home. and ijust don't want you to end up in my intensive care unit. i really don't. with a major incident declared in london surrounding covid cases last week, we'd like to hear your views and experiences of the health service as it faces increasing pressure. do get in touch. let's take a look at the travel situation now.

now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. milder and breezier today than it has been of late. we're starting off with temperatures above freezing this time. there's quite a bit of mist around, that mist will lift into low cloud and we'll be keeping those cloudy, rather grey conditions for the rest of the day. but it should be dry or mostly dry — perhaps a few spits and spots of drizzle as we head through the afternoon, and quite a brisk south—westerly wind blowing, too — top temperatures all the way up to between seven and nine degrees celsius. now through this evening and overnight, there'll be some showery outbreaks of rain, always plenty of cloud, and we'll be staying in that mild air, so temperatures probably won't drop below four to six degrees celsius for most of us. so, bit of cloud, some outbreaks of rain around through the morning, and then that will all clear to some colder, brighter conditions as we head towards the end of tuesday. it's quite chilly for the first half of the night on tuesday. some milder air comes through with more outbreaks of rain on wednesday.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. now, though, it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it's with dan walker and louise minchin. just gone 7:3l as promised, we'rejoined now with dan walker and louise minchin. by england's chief medical officer, professor chris whitty who's going to be answering some of your questions. thank you so much forjoining us at such a busy time. a lot of questions and we have time to get through quite a few. trisha says, we keep hearing the new variant is far more transmissible. what does this mean for the general public, whereas it being passed on? good morning. i think the first thing is to understand quite what this new variant is mainly in terms of numbers for the nhs. the peak we had

in april last year, we have about 18,000 people in the nhs. we currently, as of yesterday, have over 30,000 people in the nhs. and a week ago, all four cheap medical offices for the four nations said this is going to be a significant crisis for the nhs unless we take evasive action. this new variant is really pushing things in a way that the old variant, which was already very bad, was not able to. we have a very bad, was not able to. we have a very significant problem. here in london, one in 30 people currently have this coronavirus, according to the ons. across the country it is one in 50. it is a serious problem and it is rising in every part of england. what we need to do, because the next few weeks are going to be the next few weeks are going to be the worst weeks of this pandemic in terms of numbers in the nhs... what we need to do before the vaccines have had their effect, because it

will take several weeks for that to happen, we need to really double down. this is a problem for everybody. any single unnecessary contact everybody. any single unnecessary co nta ct you everybody. any single unnecessary contact you have with someone is a potential link in a chain of transmission that will lead to vulnerable people. we all as individuals have to help the nhs, help our fellow citizens by minimising the amount of unnecessary contact minimising the amount of unnecessary co nta ct we minimising the amount of unnecessary contact we have. going back to that question if i could, she says, we keep hearing it is far more transmissible so can you tell us about where it is being passed on? the virus can essentially be passed on in any place where people from two different households meet together. so it can be passed on, and very often is, in households when people invite people into their home and meet them who are not from their household. of course it can be passed on in any other environment outside, in shops, in any kind of environment in an indoor setting.

but the key thing is to understand that it but the key thing is to understand thatitis but the key thing is to understand that it is when you meet people from another household under any circumstances, and they are very often your friends, family, circumstances, and they are very often yourfriends, family, but those of situations where the virus is passed on. it does not care who you are, whether you are friends. if you are, whether you are friends. if you meet someone from another household the virus has an opportunity to be transmitted. on that issue you have touched on, nathan sent a question this morning saying, the government by saying don't mix households. as he reiterated there. tradesmen, like... he says, i am a tradesman, we are allowed to enter full houses per day carrying out essential works. we have to try to make this a sustainable because we have to be able to maintain this for several more weeks. we are going to have to do significant action for all of us for several more weeks until sometime in the spring, probably, for very much of what we have to do. so we obviously, people need to be

able to do essential works which they cannot do from home, and we fully a cce pt they cannot do from home, and we fully accept that that is necessary to keep society going, they have to be able to do it over a period of time. the three things people can leave home for our essential work where they cannot do it from home, when they actually are doing exercise. it is very important for health and don't to take exercise. and of course what essential things like shopping or medical intervention. all of us as a society, people need to work outside, we accept that, but we can work at home you really should. lots of questions about the roll—out of the vaccine. lots of people will wa nt to the vaccine. lots of people will want to know the answer to this. yes, i should explain the reasons for delaying the second dose. the

thing which is limiting us at the moment is the amount of vaccine in the country. so for every person who gets the second dose, someone else is not even getting their first dose and it is very important we vaccinate the maximum number of people over this very dangerous period overwinter. the next few weeks will be the worst of the pandemic in terms of numbers into the nhs. we must vaccinate as many people as we can. the specialist committee, the joint committee people as we can. the specialist committee, thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, have looked at this very carefully and their view was, and i am all of the other cheap medical officers agreed, that the evidence is that the great majority of the initial protection comes from your first vaccination. you absolutely do need to get the second one, but that can be delayed bya second one, but that can be delayed by a few weeks and we do not think that there will be a significant reduction in the amount of protection over that period of time. so the most important thing is to get the first vaccination but it is

important that people go back after 12 weeks to get their second. thank you for that answer. one of the other themes, we have tried to theme the thousands of questions into blocks for you. some of the big topics that keep coming up. one of thoseis topics that keep coming up. one of those is nurseries and why they are still open in parts of the uk. she says why are preschools and nurseries still open in parts of the uk in this lockdown? wrong question on the screen but that is about nurseries yellow one of the things that ministers have been trying to do is to balance making life possible for people with absolutely minimising the amount of interruptions. very important to stress that the risk to children in nurseries, and the same is true for children in schools, is exceptionally low. one of the very few things that is positive about this virus is, compared to other viruses, it relatively affects children less. that doesn't mean it

never does but much, much less. the risk to children themselves is very low but it is important for some people to be able to get out to work and nurseries do allow that to happen. but we would encourage people under almost any situation to try to minimise the amount of contact they have other people, whether is through the nurseries, eating at the nurseries, or any other context people have. keep those to an absolute minimum. this question is from paul. why have teaching staff not been included on the priority list for a vaccine? the initial priority list was entirely based on who are the people who are most likely to die from this disease? they are predominantly, and those who immediately carefully. those are people who are either the very oldest, and that is why the initial vaccination roll—out, the initial vaccination roll—out, the initial prioritisation is, care homes and those over 80, then go down in age. then for front line

health staff and for social care workers who are caring for those people because there is a risk that if they are not vaccinated they are at higher risk of getting the infection and higher risk of transmitting it. then we will go down the ages. teachers are very important group, but they are not any greater in terms of dying than other professional groups of their age. so the first wave of vaccinations will be for people who have the highest risk of dying, compared to the general population. and then, as we go down the list, ministers will be wanting to make decisions about other groups where the risk is much lower and where, obviously, we have to think through the impacts to society. the most important thing at the moment is to get through that initial lists that the prime minister has talked about, getting down the first four, down to people in their 705, those who are professional carers, and those who are the most vulnerable. those are

the lists we should prioritise first because that is where the majority of those who are dying are coming from. after that we start to make sure deliver decisions down the list. so many questions about restrictions and tighter restrictions. many of our viewers looking at the front pages today seem speculations. what might we be looking at? the thing which i think is the most important thing at this point in time, ithink important thing at this point in time, i think ministers are always looking at whether they should adjust restrictions in either direction but definitely not relaxing them. the most important thing is that people take current rules are very, very seriously and do the minimum contacts they have. that is in a sense the most important thing now, for people to actually say, look, these are the rules, they are really clear, and we should not do anything outside them

but actually, even within them, we should be doing our level best to minimise the amount of unnecessary contact with people who are not from our household. i cannot emphasise that enough. when you think about the pressures on the nhs at the moment, that is the thing that all of us can do to help relieve the pressures over the next few weeks. lot of people feel the need to do that but some of the things which are potentially being suggested, i don't know if you can comment on these... looking at masks being mandatory when in an office, for example. also the ending of the support bubbles. can you tell us anything about that this morning? the decisions about exactly what restrictions are in place i very much a matter ministers. i'm happy to a nswer much a matter ministers. i'm happy to answer medical or science questions that i really don't want to ta ke questions that i really don't want to take the role that is for ministers to make decisions about rules. they are discussing at the moment to. on that issue, again, i know you can't talk specifically

about policy, but one of the things that has, quite a bit in the questions is do you feel now, though you are not making policy but advising, that people are far more willing to listen now in terms of a government than they have been in previous months i think what all ministers and all politicians... and this is true in all four nations of the uk, from all the different political parties... they are all having to struggle to balance two different things. keeping the coronavirus epidemic under control and trying to keep society and everything else going, as well. they are walking at this incredibly different path between those two aims. everybody accepts that this is the most dangerous time we have had in terms of numbers into the nhs at this point in time. absolutely, politicians from every political party, leaders from every nation, i looking at this incredibly seriously at the moment and the rest of us have to, as well. so many people will be watching, inking should we

be expecting tighter restrictions?” am going to double down on my previous answer. if people are taking this very seriously, if they are minimising the number of individual contacts they have the absolute minimum, inside the things they have to do for work and exercise, and it is essential things, that is the most important thing. tinkering with the rules may be useful but the far more important thing is that everybody abides by the spirit of the rules that are there at the moment. everybody knows what they need to do and i think thatis what they need to do and i think that is the key thing, to minimise the number of contacts because every unnecessary contact is a link in the chain that could lead to a vulnerable person being affected. cani vulnerable person being affected. can i ask you this question? this is echoed by other reviewers. —— other reviewers. -- other reviewers. as i have previously said, the balancing act

is trying to minimise the amount of contact outside very structured environments whilst trying to keep some semblance of life as we all know it. that is the balance that ministers are always having to make every nation when they are trying to make these decisions. most people are not going to catch coronavirus that way. it is a matter for individuals in their day—to—day life. i come back to this because that, i think, life. i come back to this because that, ithink, is life. i come back to this because that, i think, is a thing to concentrate on. if we keep looking for someone else's problem as to why this is not going to get better, we are missing the point. we all have to say, what in our own lives can we do to minimise the amount of impact we have on the nhs, on vulnerable people, by minimising the amount of contact people, by minimising the amount of co nta ct we people, by minimising the amount of contact we have. back on the 17th of march, seems like a lifetime ago, patrick vallance, the chief scientific adviser said, less than 20,000 deaths would be a good outcome for coronavirus. now we have passed 80,000. are you shocked by

that figure, considering, you know, where we were back in march and all the things we have tried to do since then? i think it is a shocking figure and i think anybody who is not shocked by the number of people in hospital who are seriously ill at the moment and who are dying over the moment and who are dying over the course of this pandemic, i think, has not understood this at all. this is an appalling situation! we are now very close to the point with the vaccination that we are going to be able to get on top of this, but it is not yet. and what we really have to do, if we want the numbers not to go up still further, is everybody is to minimise the number of unnecessary contacts they have in their day. can i ask you this question from jan? why hasn't my 91—year—old mum had a vaccine? feels like she has been forgotten. as everyone will realise, there is really now quite an acceleration of vaccination that is going on across the system and it is going on...

today's the start of the roll—out of very large vaccination centres but much more importantly for many people, general practitioners, hospital hopes, in due course, we are trying to work out how to do it with pharmacies. these are the ways in which different people will get the vaccination and there is absolute determination to get to the point where the oldest people, those over 80 and those in care homes, i vaccinated first, along with health and social care workers who care for them and then we can start going down the ages. i am very sorry to hear she has yet very much hope she will be very soon. we saw a question, without shielding. so many people asking about it. that was from barbara asking, she has had her first fight it back from barbara asking, she has had herfirst isaac maxine, does she need to shield? another question about shielding.

can you clear up what is happening with shielding? two very different issues. in terms of people who have a vaccine who are shielding, first i am very pleased to hear that because that will provide, after a period of there is a delay of somewhere between ten and 21 days before people become, start to become protected. the protection isn't immediate. people are to a large degree protected after the first vaccination. but it is not complete protection. i will go back to a figure i gave earlier. in the uk at the moment, one in 50 people have this virus and in some parts of london it is down to one in 20. there is a very big risk of people going out and being exposed and even if they got the significant protection of the vaccine it is not complete. we need to do two thing. vaccinate everybody who is vulnerable so that they have the substantial protection from the vaccine, but we also need to get the rates down in communities so that when people go out the chance of

them into contact with someone with them into contact with someone with the virus are a lot lower. in terms of the shielding rules, they are much more similar than they went to the right one is that they where in the right one is that they where in the last lockdown but not completely the last lockdown but not completely the same. this is to recognise the fa ct the same. this is to recognise the fact that many people felt really imprisoned by the shielding rules the first time around, which was not the first time around, which was not the intention. this is very difficult, i think, for people's lives and their mental health and a variety of other things. there is a recognition that we need to adjust that and for that reason some of the rules for shielding have been slightly relaxed. the general principle of people who are on the shielding risk, they need to take real ca re shielding risk, they need to take real care at the moment because of this very high rate of the virus, i think everyone would accept. we spoke to a professor working in intensive care and he spoke about his exasperation this morning over those people who say the nhs is a lwa ys those people who say the nhs is always under pressure at this time of year, this is no different. how exasperating is it for you? one of the reason you are here this morning

and not a government minister is to try to get this point across. there will still be people watching this morning saying these things and saying it is not happening.” morning saying these things and saying it is not happening. i don't actually think that the great majority of the british public, who are incredibly sensible, think this is not happening. i think people realise this is a very serious problem. we will get through this together but at this point in time we are at the worst point in the epidemic for the uk. there are a lwa ys epidemic for the uk. there are always going to be noises of people who come up with theories and suggestions for things that are either obviously not true or are a misunderstanding of what is going on. i think anybody who looks at some of the reports that the bbc and other news outlets have done from hospitals, anyone who talks to a doctor or a nurse working in the nhs, anybody who reads any newspaper, they will know this is a really serious problem. this is not a typical winter. every winter there are problems. this is in a com pletely

are problems. this is in a completely different league. looking ahead, and a lot of people are asking a similar question. might would like to know if we can ever go back to life like before. no masks, mixing in groups, packed into pubs. so many people would like to know the end day. can you help? the first thing is, i am confident we will go back to life as it was before at some point. that is not in doubt. that is the life we all want to leave. what will happen is once we get the vaccination rolled out across a wide and are part of the population so that the most vulnerable are protected but also so that enough people are protected to protect the rest of the population, months not years. we will begin to come a stage by stage, over the next few, people will be able to have the restrictions lifted. it will not

happen in one go and at a certain point hopefully we will go back to life that is basically the same as it was before. however we are quite a long way away from that at the moment and i think what we would really like is for people to concentrate on the period now, fully accepting that we all want life to get back to normal, and it will get back to normal, but it will get back to normal more quickly if we can get on top of this early now, get the vaccine rolled out. if you are invited for a vaccination please ta ke invited for a vaccination please take up and that is how we will get on top of this epidemic, and by stages get back to the life we all wa nt to stages get back to the life we all want to leave. thank you for spending so its time answering those questions. you'll be pleased to know that the great british sense of humour has been meeting. quite a few people have asked, with you and many others standing at the podium talking about "next slide, please" a lot of questions asking if you got the click of a christmas so you can stop asking for the next slide.”

the click of a christmas so you can stop asking for the next slide. i am rather hoping someone sent one to downing street. someone said they had but downing street have not passedit had but downing street have not passed it onto me! laughter iam laughter i am completely with on this one! one of the hated phrases of last year, "next slide, please". thank you very much for your time. a very busy time for you. thank you so much andi busy time for you. thank you so much and i hope... we try to get through as many questions as we could. thank you very much indeed for sending them in. somebody has a really good click! you need to lend that to professor chris whitty.” click! you need to lend that to professor chris whitty. i was just thinking that! next slide, please, carol! laughter good morning, everyone. it is quite buggy year, we have some pockets of fog but for most of us it will be fairly cloudy. we have drizzle, rain and persistent rain across the north of scotland and through the day as the cold air digs in we will see some snow. five to ten centimetres

possible above 300 metres. one to two centimetres possible in the north at low levels. hardly surprising here that it will be a colder, as represented by the blues. for much of the uk today, milder than it has been. eight, nine, ten. through this evening and overnight come all this evening and overnight come all this cloud and rain pushes southwards, we will have a period of hill snow across southern scotland and northern england. clear skies behind, and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces and frost in the north. not so in the south, where it is comparatively milder. nine is likely around the london area. through tomorrow you can see how the weather front continue to sink south with its cloud, the rain across the south—west and wales also northern ireland. yet milder but for the rest of the uk a fair bit of sunshine. a few showers in the north and east but cold, despite the sunshine. temperatures of fours, fives and

sixes. to the west where we have the cloud and rain, likely between six, seven and 11 degrees. as for wednesday, it will turn more unsettled but i will have more on that later on in the programme. thank you very much. see you later. we have lovely screens behind us this morning. we're starting a new series on breakfast this morning, with the help of some familiar faces, to keep us mentally and physically fit in these tough times. it's called lockdown life and, to kick us off, we're joined byjoe wicks, who is once again putting us through our paces with regular online workouts. very good morning to you. you are helping us with lockdown life. you have been really honest about this latest news and how it has affected you. it has had a big impact on people yeah, good morning. ishare you. it has had a big impact on people yeah, good morning. i share a video on instagram live, i didn't know what i was going to say that i know what i was going to say that i know i was feeling really down when boris announced a new lockdown and

restrictions. i had this moment of vulnerability when i felt sad and disconnected, like we were back to square one yellow i know we aren't but it felt like that in the mode. i shared that a little cry, felt emotional and it opened up a lot of conversations. i got thousands of comments and messages from people saying they are feeling exactly the same and it is so important that we exercise and also communicate and let people know how we are feeling. how important is it at a time like this, people have all sorts of different physical abilities who will be watching you this morning as taking part in some of your routines later and over the course of the next few weeks. goal setting. are you setting short—term, mid—term and long—term goals, how are you approaching it? i have done it differently this year. i don't normally set short—term goals that i have set myself a new challenge each month. in december it was a five k as quickly as i could, this month is as quickly as i could, this month is a pull—up challenge. i think having small business or strength goals, it really gives you something to focus

on that is actually achievable and you can measure it. it isjust about weight loss and fat loss, it can be demotivating if you don't reach your goals. this year, shift your focus to how you look at how you feel —— shift your focus from how you look to how you feel. was about getting outside, as well? i have become a bit of a walking fan. i never used to like walking, i think it's boring. recently since lockdown i go out for 15, 20 minutes, get some fresh air because when you are in the house all day it is good pr mental health to feel fresh air and get into nature. if you're not into hiit training, going for a dog walk, bike ride, that is the solution.” have to say, we spoke to you a lot during the first bout of lockdown when you were doing these exercise routines every single day. we got used to your living room but the room seems to have changed. if this where you are doing your new routines from 9am today? when boris announced the lockdown i actually

announced the lockdown i actually announced in the afternoon, because i knew schools in london were close, i was going to bring back pe. starting today at 9am, monday, wednesday and friday, that living room was in richmond and i am not there any more. i have a slightly different backdrop. if you have young children and you are on your own in—house and wants to stay energised and motivated, to tune in at nine. the free work at the minute you can and you will have more energy, humour positive and i promise you i will motivate you through the work—out and you will feel better about yourself afterwards right now, listen. we are doing this new series, lockdown life. you have a couple of exercises for us to take away. i know you start at 9am, but can you start early? i have, so i havejust done a boot camp work—out that 7am, i have one at nine and you want me to do more! step back, one of my favourites, nice and simple, justjogging on the spot. run on the spot if you are really fit. if you are a beginner you can march on the spot, lift those knees up, nice and high. wait

a little cardio move. second one for the lower body, a nice simple squat. stand up tall, squat low, and third one, old school pe exercise, the old jumping jacks. star jumps, running on the spot. the great thing is there is no equipment unlike workouts. it is called the body coaching tv and i keep saying exercise is essential for our fitness and mental health. talk to your friends about how you feel, so important for your mental health so please use it. really quick question. i will not be alone in this. i have an injured foot and can't run on the spot. what can we do? if you have an injured foot, can you do squats and lunges or is it just the impact stuff you can't do? let's not go into too many details but something that doesn't involve jumping. you will get him in trouble

with the physio! maybe get some resista nce with the physio! maybe get some resistance bands and focus on the upper body. then when you have recovered you can start getting back into that. everybody who cannot do jumping, that's what we are going to do! thank you so much. thank you so much, have a good day and i was a us 9am for the first work—out. much, have a good day and i was a us 9am for the first work-out. he was one of the stars of lockdown first time around. i will use a water bottle. he will have a busy few weeks ahead. cbeebies presenter maddie moat and her partner, the science broadcaster greg foot, are bringing back their youtube show let's go live, for lockdown. how are you getting through it? lets us know. you might be able to help us, as well. stay with us — headlines coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: seven mass coronavirus vaccination centres, capable of injecting thousands of people a week, open across england this morning. and i am at one of them, epsom racecourse in surrey where the first immunisations are taking place right now. but as hospital admissions continue to rise, england's chief medical officer tells breakfast everyone needs to follow the lockdown rules we need to really double down. this is everybody‘s problem. any single or necessary contact you have with someone is a potential link in a chain of transmission that will lead toa chain of transmission that will lead to a vulnerable person.

remembering the so—called forgotten. good morning. reports there could be new financial help on its way for some of the millions left out of the government's support schemes. i'll take a look. the fa cup upsets just keep coming — crawley town playing the game of their lives to knock out premier league side leeds, and reach the fourth round. another lockdown, the kids are at home and the pressure is on to keep them learning. unfortunately for me there is more to curriculum than just physics. if you need help with home schooling, professor brian cox will be here to offer a bit of inspiration, as he helps to launch a range of new bbc programmes good morning. todayis today is going to be milderfor most of us than it has been of late. a fair bit of cloud. some rain, some snow and gusty winds. details in ten minutes. good morning. it's monday, 11th january. our top story.

thousands more people are expected to be given a covid—19 jab, as seven mass vaccination sites open across england this morning. the new centres will be joined later this week by hundreds more gp—led and hospital services. our medical editor fergus walsh is at epsom racecourse in surrey, one of the new hubs. i think they have just started work. good morning. good morning. yes, they have just started. the first needles are going into arms as we speak. there are seven of these centres. let me see if i can rememberwhere centres. let me see if i can remember where they centres. let me see if i can rememberwhere they are. centres. let me see if i can remember where they are. london, bristol, birmingham, manchester, newcastle, stevenage bristol, birmingham, manchester, newcastle, steve nage and bristol, birmingham, manchester, newcastle, stevenage and here at epsom in surrey. it is part of a major ramping up of the immunisation process. the aim is for up to 15 million people, the most vulnerable, to be offered vaccinations by mid—february. that is quite a task.

that will be all over 705. people who are extremely clinically vulnerable. and nhs and social care front line workers. so a huge task ahead. and to meet that they will have to be doing more than 2 million immunisations per week. now as well as these seven centres, there is also over a thousand others, gp surgeries and around 200 hospitals. and more of these centres are going to be opened. it is going to be needed. these are going to be open 12 hours a day, seven days a week. now to discuss that and the pressures on the nhs, i have got with me the medical director of the nhs. good morning. can ijust ask you, i was with you in oxford last week when the first people got the oxford vaccine. this is another ramping up, isn't it? yes, fergus.

it was a cold morning, wasn't it? it is colder today. that was a big moment last week as the astrazeneca vaccine started to be rolled out. this feels like another gear change. the first of those seven large—scale vaccination centres that will give yet another way for people to get the vaccine. so we are really speeding ahead now in order to get all those people that we need to get vaccinated by the middle of february. nearly 15 million people are offered the vaccine. what sort of pressure will that take off the nhs? it is under inbred —— intense pressure at the moment. the nhs is really under intense pressure at the moment. we have had hospitals filled with covid patients since christmas eve. this is much bigger than the first wave in april. many more patients. it is critical we start to ta ke patients. it is critical we start to take pressure off. the vaccination

programme will help but not for a few months. the billy kee thing at the moment is those rules that are in place. —— the really key thing. everybody must stick to those rules. that is how we stop transmission and ta ke that is how we stop transmission and take pressure off the hospitals. how do we get that message across? i was on in the intensive care unit last weekend first—hand the exhaustion the face of staff, just how busy they are. how do we get that message across? it doesn't seem to be the same sort of spirit of the first lockdown, when really the streets we re lockdown, when really the streets were deserted. well, you sawjust how busy it was when you visited that intensive care unit. just after we spoke last week we raised the national alert level to level five. that meant the four chief medical officers and myself took the view that unless something changed that there was a material risk that the nhs would begin to become overwhelmed in three weeks. we must not let that happen. the way we don't let that happen is by sticking

to the rules. that wasn't a vague threat that that might happen. it is a real risk. we all have a responsibility to do our bit and ta ke responsibility to do our bit and take pressure off those hard—pressed hospitals. when we talk about the nhs being overwhelmed, what sort of things do we mean? one of the things i was struck by last week was the staffing ratios, things like because of staff sickness, but also the sheer numbers coming in, mean that the quality of care is not what many nhs doctors and nurses are used to giving. they are worried about the quality of care? yes, what we are having to do because of the numbers of people coming into intensive care unit to stretch those staffing ratios. where as a nurse might usually look after one patient, they are now having to look after two or three. they have to maintain standards. they will do everything they possibly can. the way to ensure we don't risk those standards is to ta ke we don't risk those standards is to take the pressure off. this is

something we'll have to take seriously. i can't over emphasise just important it is. our staff are exhausted. they have been working throughout the year with covid patients. they need to protect hospitals for all patients. stick to the rules. don't think you can flex them. they are really important. stop transmission. what about cancer care? we are hearing about some cancer operations, quite a few, being delayed or cancelled, post abound. that is pretty serious because that can cost lives in different ways? throughout the pandemic cancer treatment has been a top priority. we are doing everything we can to ensure that cancer patients still get treated. but as pressure builds on hospitals, there is a risk of disruption. that will affect cancer patients as well as every other patient. this is not just about covid patients being overwhelmed, this is about services for all patients being overwhelmed. that is why it is critical we get

the virus under control and we take the virus under control and we take the pressure off hospitals. have you ever known a winter anything like this? i don't think anybody in the nhs has lived through anything like this. this is a once in a century pandemic. nobody in their professional careers will have had to have dealt with the pressure that they are currently dealing with. our staff are doing an absolutely magnificentjob. but everybody is a pa rt magnificentjob. but everybody is a part to play in helping them. hundreds of thousands of people over 80 have got their invitation letters. but as you and i both know it is very chilly here. how are people going to be kept socially distance so they are not huddled together, and yet quickly being taken through the immunisation process? i have just taken through the immunisation process? i havejust been in taken through the immunisation process? i have just been in the centre looking around with the staff who are running it. they have got it nicely set up. we were talking about that. they are not going to have those queues. if there is any risk of people getting cold, they can use

areas inside. it is very well organised. we have been using the centre a little bit in the last few days for one of the gp hubs. they have experience and i'm confident they will deliver a great service to they will deliver a great service to the public. professor, thank you. so, immunisation happening here and being ramped up across the uk. absolutely great to see that because it is really vital that we get on top of this. and it is immunisation. it is vaccination. vaccination against covid—19 which will eventually be the exit strategy. and let us all get back to some kind of a normal life. fergus, thank you. we will be back with you in the next 20 minutes. thank you. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is in westminster this morning. good morning. you were saying earlier you are looking forward to listening to what professor chris

whitty had to say. normally, at half past seven, we speak to a government minister but we were speaking to the chief medical officerfor minister but we were speaking to the chief medical officer for england, who was trying to get their point across about the gravity of the situation we are currently in?” across about the gravity of the situation we are currently in? i am going to be here every day in my new job, so plenty of time to practice getting my name right. chris whitty doesn't do a lot of interviews. it was quite an honour for you guys to get him and for such a long amount of time as well. but he knows all the data. he sees it in real time. in fact, over christmas he spent some time working in a hospital because he is an epidemic disease doctor. he has also seen it with his own eyes as well. i was really struck by his description of the situation. he said, these are the worst we e ks situation. he said, these are the worst weeks of the pandemic for the uk. certainly as far as the number of people going into hospital is concerned. and the pressure on doctors and nurses, as we were hearing about from fergus. and he says the answer isn't to put new restrictions on top of the lockdown. it is for all of us to just follow the rules.

if they are minimising the number of individual contacts they have to the absolute minimum, outside of the things they have to do for work and for exercise, and essential things, thatis for exercise, and essential things, that is the most important thing. in a sense tinkering with the rules may be useful but the former important thing is that everybody abides by the spirit of the rules there at the moment. everybody knows what they need to do. and i think that is the key thing. minimise the number of contacts. every unnecessary contact isa link contacts. every unnecessary contact is a link in a chain that could lead toa is a link in a chain that could lead to a vulnerable person being infected. and i thought one of the bits that really revealed how he feels all about this was when you put that question to him about, why is premiership football and professional sport allowed to carry on when we are in the middle of a lockdown? and he said, there is no point looking at someone else or another group of people and blaming them for why rates are still high. it is on every single individual and

what we need to do is stay at home, unless you're going out for some exercise, unless it is absolutely essential that you need to leave because you are getting medicine or helping a vulnerable person, or if you cannot work from home. that really reflects what ministers are saying. they are pretty scared about the fact people are not sticking to the fact people are not sticking to the rules enough. thank you for that. and we should also say thank you to so many of our viewers who sent in thousands of questions for professor chris whitty. we got through as many as we could. hopefully there will be another opportunity to do that at some stage. in a couple of minutes we are talking about all —— all about the vaccine with a doctor and about the vaccine with a doctor and a professor who is a member of the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation. that is shortly. now it is time to find out what's happening with the weather. and i right in thinking it was milder this morning than in recent days? that is right. for many of us that was the case. one or two exceptions were pretty much spot on. we have had some beautiful sunsets and sunrises. yesterday the sunset

was lovely and pink. look at this orange one this morning sent in by one of our weather watchers from oxfordshire. what we have currently isa oxfordshire. what we have currently is a lot of cloud. we have also got some heavy and persistent rain across parts of northern scotland. through the day we will see more snow. about five to ten centimetres is possible. down to about 300 metres. one to two centimetres at lower levels. away from the north of scotla nd lower levels. away from the north of scotland for the rest of the uk there is a lot of cloud around. some spots of rain. some drizzle as well. still chilly in the far south of england to start with. but look at these temperatures. eight to 10 degrees, it is a while since we have seen that. the blue representing the colder air across scotland. through this evening and overnight all this cloud and rain sinks southwards. for a time there will be held snow in scotla nd a time there will be held snow in scotland and the hills of northern england. clearer skies follow behind. further snow showers down to lower levels. cold in the north with the risk of ice on untreated

surfaces and some frost. not so as we come down to the south in all that cloud and rain. tomorrow we start off with the cloud and rain across parts of england and wales. the rain primarily across the west. but look at the clear skies following on behind. wintry showers grow in the north and east. temperature wise tells the story. despite the sunshine we are looking ata despite the sunshine we are looking at a fours, fives, may be up to eight. it will be milder where we have the cloud and rain. up have the cloud and rain. up to 11. thank you. see you in half an hour. so, this morning we've been bringing you latest on the mass vaccination roll—out across england. but let's take a moment to look at where we're at with the effort. around two million people in the uk have now received their first dose. that includes a third of people over the age of 80. the government aims to immunise 15 million people in the priority groups by the middle of next month. these groups are care home residents and their carers, the over 705, frontline health and social care workers, and people

who are clinically extremely vulnerable. the government's target is to vaccinate every uk adult by the autumn. we can speak now to professor adam finn, who's a member of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, and dr zoe norris, who's been immunising patients at her gp practice. good morning to both of you. thank you so much for being with us. adam, let's come to you. when you think about the numbers that need to be vaccinated and where we can be at the moment, it can be daunting. give us an idea of the plan in the next few days, weeks and months ahead?” think you have summarised it very nicely. the aim now is to simultaneously get the very highest risk people immunised as fast as possible. and by doing that to bring down the pressure on the nhs. as well as increasing the resilience of

the health care workforce by immunising them at the same time. and i have to say the figures being reported are very encouraging. we are already seeing so many people receiving the vaccine and a clear signs that process is accelerating fast. so good news so far. zoe, you are very much on the front line of this as a gp. how is it going? it's going as well as can be expected. it's been a bit of a learning curve. it's been a bit of a learning curve. it isa it's been a bit of a learning curve. it is a challenge in terms of trying to still deliver some of our normal care. but i must say most of it hasn't been me as a gp. it has been our excellent nursing colleagues, our excellent nursing colleagues, our brilliant pharmacy colleagues and everyone pulling together. can you just tell us a little bit about the pfizer vaccine? i understand in itself it is very sensitive, it is quite challenging to handle in some ways ? quite challenging to handle in some ways? it is. the pfizer vaccine is made up of tiny strands of rna. they are held in a kind ofa bubble, a

liquid layer, a fatty layer. if you agitate that vile, it breaks and the rna can be damaged and can't be used. so normally you might see people on tv shows or hospital shows shaking drug vile two or syringes, none of that. including carrying very, very carefully between rooms and trying to minimise any distance it has to travel. in a moment we are going to speak to fergus walsh, who is at one of these new vaccination hubs in epsom. what sort of difference are these going to make and how crucial than working well will it be to get these vaccinations out across the uk? well, i think the idea is to get things going at scale, essentially. you need more space and staff to do that. so clearly there is a real advantage to that approach. having said that, of

course, surgeries like zoe's at the place people are used to going and usually physically close to where they live. so i think both of these delivery systems are going to play a really critical part in getting the vaccine out and into people's arms. cani vaccine out and into people's arms. can ijust vaccine out and into people's arms. can i just ask you, vaccine out and into people's arms. can ijust ask you, adam, about vaccine out and into people's arms. can i just ask you, adam, about that point? people making the point today that for example somebody has not have a vaccine, they are over 80, summary else has, they are under 80. what is going on in what if you have not been asked to have your vaccine yet and you are in that age group? well, i think we have to accept that things can't move exactly simultaneously everywhere. there are going to be places which are highly efficient. i've heard about the figures from zoe's practice. they are figures from zoe's practice. they a re clearly figures from zoe's practice. they are clearly racing ahead and doing a very efficientjob. other places may be slower to get started. i don't think people should expect precise equity across the country. at the broader strategy is the same. we really do need to aim for the most vulnerable, the elderly people

first. and then work our way progressively down through the age bands to include people who have got other conditions in due course. there will be slight differences, people should not too concerned. zoe, we speak to your regularly about the pressure you are under at yourgp about the pressure you are under at your gp surgery. and which of your time, how much of your focus, has this taken? time, how much of your focus, has this ta ken? what time, how much of your focus, has this taken? what about those people who have issues which are not related to coronavirus at the moment? i work to support six gp surgeries across bridlington. the way we have chosen to organise it is one surgery site has been delivering the vaccinations. that has meant that they have had to really try and shift all their work into really making the best use of the telephone, the video, bringing patients into a separate area, while being supported by the rest of the town. it is incredibly challenging though. we have been asked by nhs england to focus on patients with

learning disabilities, those who are shielding or clinically vulnerable, and so if you do contact your gp surgery and you are told, i'm sorry, this is not urgent and will have to wait, then please be patient because we are trying to focus on the vaccinations. and professor, can you just tell us, lots of people getting in touch this morning, we were talking to chris whitty about this, the vaccinations and the separate doses being separated by 12 weeks... what you say to people who are concerned that perhaps they their firstjab, concerned that perhaps they their first jab, the concerned that perhaps they their firstjab, the second was booked and it is not happening?” firstjab, the second was booked and it is not happening? i think this is very much about seeing the bigger picture. we do know that one dose of this vaccine is remarkably effective, actually. and although the data, in terms of how long that protection lasts, is not quite there yet, that is being collected, we know from other vaccines that have that level of protection doesn't —— doesn't just evaporate and that level of protection doesn't —— doesn'tjust evaporate and disappear quickly. i think the important thing to grasp is that at that second dose

which has been delayed is going to someone else's arm and building their protection from zero right up toa high their protection from zero right up to a high level. that is good news for everybody because it means we can get on top of this problem much more quickly. tell us what you know about this vaccine and other variants? are you going to have to change it? how will it work? so far, actually, the evidence on that is very encouraging. we havejust had actually, the evidence on that is very encouraging. we have just had a new report come through today that shows the immunity in people who have had the infection with last yea r‘s have had the infection with last year's version of the virus, if you like, those antibodies will bind very efficiently to the spike protein on the new variant. so far all the signs are and all the predictions are that the current formulations of the vaccines will still be highly effective against this new variant and we will certainly get more information on that over the next week or two. i think people should be reassured about that. looking further into the future, of course, we have to be

vigilant. new variants may emerge as the population immunity goes up and we may need to reformulate vaccines. that is to be expected, in fact. but right now, i think we have vaccines that will do thejob. right now, i think we have vaccines that will do the job. thank you both very much for your time on bbc brea kfast. very much for your time on bbc breakfast. thank you. thanks for being on and hopefully answering some of your questions. they are still coming in. we are trying to put some of those that came through for professor chris whitty. our medical editor, fergus walsh, is at epsom racecourse in surrey this morning, one of the seven new major vaccination hubs which have now opened to the public. from what we have been hearing, fergus, it is a busy day ahead?m isa fergus, it is a busy day ahead?m is a really busy day ahead. and it marks a major ramping up of this immunisation process. and as you have been hearing, the aim is to offer jabs to up have been hearing, the aim is to offerjabs to up to 15 million people, all those over 70 front line

health and social workers, and those who are currently shielding. now behind me, just beyond those doors, there are, i think, six different bays where people are rolling up their sleeves and getting immunised. they are doing several hundred today. that is being replicated at six other centres across the country. in addition to that varies over 1000 gp centres and hospitals that are also offering the jab. more than 2 million people have already been immunised. but to get those 15 million offers out by mid—february will be a huge task. here to discuss that with me is helen cook, operation director here. how is it going? well, we are really excited. we are happy to be contributing to the process. we want to get the country back on its feet. all of us wa nt country back on its feet. all of us want to get the again. and so far today we have had so much support. we have had people return to work

within the nhs. we have had a range of professionals who have joined us. we have got lots of volunteers. and today alone we have got seven people from stjohn's today alone we have got seven people from st john's ambulance to support. so everyone is excited. the team are good to go and have started. so, we are really on it and happy to be doing it. the public who are here for their vaccinations, doing it. the public who are here fortheirvaccinations, seem doing it. the public who are here for their vaccinations, seem really happy to be here. and we have had a huge response to the booking options. immediately the bookings we nt options. immediately the bookings went live those booking slots were filled. so i think people are really keen to get vaccinated. the people who are coming here to be immunised, the over 805, are in the highest risk group. how are you keeping them safe and ensuring social distancing? absolutely. so we are very fortunate to be on this site. there is a good car parking arrangement. we have lots of marshalls, many of whom are volunteers. we are asking people to

stay in theircars volunteers. we are asking people to stay in their cars because the weather is pretty chilly. then we have social distancing as soon as people join the queueing arrangement. and i've got several marginals who are checking that people are remaining socially distanced. —— marshalls. people are remaining socially distanced. -- marshalls. you are also doing front line health workers as well? absolutely. our aim is to vaccinate the majority of 80 plus people. so we are aiming to do 90% appointments with that group and 10% for the health and social workers. and then as we get more of the 80 plus people completed, we increase the numberof plus people completed, we increase the number of health and social staffs of the population is protected. what are your opening hours? we open at 8am in the morning and close at apm. seven days a week. could you at some point go round the clock, 24 hours a day? yes, i guess thatis clock, 24 hours a day? yes, i guess that is feasible. but it would be down to how many people we have available to support that process.

so we are certainly willing to ramp up so we are certainly willing to ramp up according to both the supply of stuff that we have and vaccine. helen cook, thank you very much indeed. that is the situation from epsom. but there are six other centres across the country. and then a thousand more gp surgeries and hospitals doing this. it really is a huge process. the biggest immunisation drive in the history of the nhs. thank you very much. a very interesting to see it up and running. we have got professor brian cox coming up shortly. a packed programme today. he is talking about the challenges of home—schooling and how the bbc are trying to help. lot of it being rolled out. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a mass vaccination centre is set to open at the excel centre in east london today, as efforts to increase the number of people being vaccinated are stepped up. there will also be new sites at epsom racecourse in surrey and robertson house in stevenage. a 28—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after two men died at a property in ilford. the men were found seriously injured yesterday morning. both died at the scene. the woman, who was tasered during the arrest, also suffered injuries and was taken to hospital. frontline nhs staff working to save lives in london's hospitals, are said to be up against an increasing amount of mistrust, conspiracy theories and abuse online, with protests even outside hospitals. concerns have been raised about the impact it's having on the mental health of staff. you know, i had a junior doctor who was working in a&e, who said, "i really... i really don't want to go in because there was a horde of people outside my hospital
