isa sticking with it sources. this is a an argument where it looks like both sides are trying to play it down from number ten and the chief said the nhs. there has been some disagreement as to how proactively the vaccine will be distributed, and what the ft is reporting is that number ten was pushing harderfor longer hours, for 2h hour service on the vaccine, and perhaps there was some pushback presumably around with the nhs thinks they can deliver what's a realistic deadline. but what's a realistic deadline. but what's become clear in recent days as there seems to be, regardless of whether this was a huge row or a bit ofa whether this was a huge row or a bit of a disagreement, they do seem to have come down on the side of trying to get the vaccine out as quickly as possible. i wouldn't say it was a u—turn because it was never really decided, but there was talk about how they wouldn't be disturbing vaccine after hours, now they're looking into doing that. perhaps some of these centres they've built will be 2a hours a day, seven days a
10:46 pm
week. regardless of the fight, they come to the conclusion that the most important thing now is to roll out the vaccine because it's the only way realistically... number ten sugared up the nhs to... you don't have to look at the storey very long to realise it absolutely must be true, because that's exactly what you'd expect to happen. i'm not the brigadier necessarily, but the fact that numberten brigadier necessarily, but the fact that number ten would be sitting there, no matter how well the nhs we re there, no matter how well the nhs were doing and how fast the vaccine roll—out was going, number ten would wanted to be faster still. partly because they've made commitments and promises, or something very close to promises, or something very close to promises as to how fast the vaccine will be rolled out, and those promises must be kept. but also because they realised the health of the nation and also their political fortunes hinge on the roll—out being as fast as humanly possible. and they will be looking at every possible way of increasing the rate
10:47 pm
of getting the vaccine to people, whether that's finding ways of increasing the supply, finding ways of improving the distribution and, if the military can play some part in that, i don't think anyone and numberten in that, i don't think anyone and number ten would think twice about it. just above that storey, donald trump heading off through air force one flying down to texas to go and see the wall, denying, sparking the riot. this is the first vote about trying to get the 25th amendment passed in the house this evening, and the vote on impeachment tomorrow? yes, this is one of the first public appearances we've had from mrtrump first public appearances we've had from mr trump since he encouraged the rioters last week to head towards the capital. he's still not taking any responsibility for what he encouraged. he's heading down to texas to see parts of the border wall that he worked on the past four yea rs, wall that he worked on the past four years, what he considers to be one of the staples of his presidency.
10:48 pm
meanwhile in washington, dc, the democrats are pushing on republicans and the vice president to remove the president. if that doesn't happen, they'll move forward with impeachment again. it's possibly the second time mr trump could be impeached, which would be an historic moment. just as you were speaking, we are hearing that some republicans will be planning to vote for impeachment in the house of representatives. that's tomorrow, the first vote is on the 25th amendment, which would call on the vice president to wrestle power away from donald trump, because he was deemed unfit. let's move on to the metro — "insult to dignity, rashford's fury at inadequate food pa rcel". rashford's fury at inadequate food parcel". when you look at this picture, it isjust parcel". when you look at this picture, it is just talking the amountand picture, it is just talking the amount and quality of food intended for a child forfive amount and quality of food intended for a child for five days. it's a storey that's all about images, isn't it, really? in in that front page, there's two images, if you
10:49 pm
don't mind me diverting to that. the topic with the police officer with a machine gun, almost implying that thatis machine gun, almost implying that that is the response to people who aren't following the covid rules, i don't think that's a good reflection of the way they responded. but the marcus rashford storey is one which i think will break the hearts of anybody who's got kids in their family, that such paltry amounts could be offered and suggesting that that would be enough to feed a child for a couple of days, never mind a week or two weeks. it reflects badly clearly on the company is concerned, it raises questions about whether their profiteering from the whole situation, he raises questions about how seriously the government takes theissue how seriously the government takes the issue of child poverty, and why they're doing it this way at all — because during the first lockdown, there were cash vouchers given to parents in blue of the free school meals they would've had if the kids we re meals they would've had if the kids
10:50 pm
were in school — a much more effective system, and one that i actually think offers a bit of dignity to the families in the way that these paltry food parcels simply do not. kate, they say that this no way amounts to the £30 each food parcel is supposed to be worth. they don't, it's a travesty. it's also not terribly surprising, if you're supposed to be doing a voucher system or an actual meal being delivered to one's home, i'm not surprised to see the bureaucracy involved has completely gotten in the way. what should have been £30 worth of food delivered has ended up equating to about £5. lance is right to point out to a cash system where pa rents to point out to a cash system where parents should be trusted to take that money and use it to top up their food and come through the week to make sure their kids are getting good meals. that would've been a much more sensible, effective and efficient way to ensure these kids get good meals, as opposed to what
10:51 pm
happened here, which is simply not up happened here, which is simply not up to scratch. plants, with your previous career hat on, a picture like this — that emotional pull to anyone who has children or families with children — how important a storey is this? as i said earlier, it's all about the image. you just have to look at the image and know that it's wrong. and some members of the government, some members of the conservative party have been trying to find ways to defend it. if i was still involved in government communications, i would say there's absently no way you could do it. there is no defence for this, and you have to be absolutely on the side of the parents and the children. think you both very much indeed. that is our first look at the first editions of the papers. you'll both be back in half an hour with another look at those. but for
10:52 pm
now, think you both very much indeed. good evening, i'm chetan pathak with your sports news. manchester united are top of the premier league tonight after a 1—0 win over burnley at turf moor. paul pogba volleyed in the winner in the second half, to move them three points clear of the champions liverpool. both sides meet at anfield on sunday. they're nine points from safety — but at the 18th time of asking, bottom of the table sheffield united have their first premier league win of the season after beating ten—man newcastle 1—0. billy sharp with the winner from the penalty spot. players have been told to avoid unecessary contact during goal celebrations, with premier league boss richard masters writing to clubs to stress what he calls "the critical importance of adhering
10:53 pm
to strengthened covid protocols." the manner in the performance was good, considering the position that we are in. it wasn't a performance lacking of belief and confidence, and i'm delighted about that. we keep talking about identity and what we have done, notjust last season, but the 2—3 previous seasons i've been here. that was more like us. we've had a load of tight games here, and as you said, maybe in those tight games, you've not got a break, and tonight was maybe the break, and tonight was maybe the break we all needed. and we will definitely take. in the night's other game, everton won 2—1 at wolves to move up to fourth in the table. defender michael keane heading in the winner. the fulham manager, scott parker, says it's scandalous his side are being made to play their rearranged fixture with tottenham tomorrow, having only been given two days notice. fulham and spurs were due to meet last month, but the match was postponed at short notice after covid hit the fulham squad.
10:54 pm
and with villa unable to fulfil their fixture with spurs tomorrow, fulham were asked to play instead. the premier league says discussions with them began on saturday. the spurs manager, jose mourinho, says postponents due to covid are giving the league little choice but to play games when they can. the biggest impact is to have meshes postponed. that is the biggest impact. dust the impact. dust matches postponed. the the impact changing of the matches, the impact is also minimal. you only have to play 19 meshes at home and i9 matches away. you have to play two matches away. you have to play two matches against every team. if this is to help the premier league to go enhance properly, i think this is a solution we all have to accept. dundee united striker lawrence shankland scored a stunning goal to earn his side a 2—2 draw against stjohnstone. the result leaves united sixth in the table, whilst
10:55 pm
stjohnstone remain in ninth, but only three points better off than bottom side ross county. the new formula one season will start later than planned after the first race — the australian grand prix — was postponed because of covid restrictions in the country. it means bahrain will host the opening race on 26 march and, despite the disruption to the calendar, organisers are still planning on staging more races than in any other season — as our formula one reporter jennie gow explains. 23—race season is what they came out with provisionally, and even with this revised calendar, they are sticking to it. this season will start a week later, so no australia opener. a little break before we head to italy, which is a race that we were not expecting — that has taken a spot. then china looks as if it will not happen at the moment
10:56 pm
because of covid, so we're expecting portimao to be announced at some point, and australia shuffled back eight months — now a november race. will fi get those races away? that is the big question. they managed 17 last year to great plaudits. so, fingers crossed they're expected to welcome fans back and the paddock club. it will be fascinating to see what the reality is this season. so, formula one is hopeful of having fans at races, and organisers of golf‘s masters plan to welcome back a limited number of spectators at augusta in april. not since these scenes in 2019, when tiger woods memorably won the greenjacket, have galleries been present. the event was postponed until november last year and played without fans for the first time england's chris woakes says it's unlikely he'll be able to play a part in his side's first test in sri lanka on thursday. woakes is out of self—isolation after being deemed a possible close contact to moeen ali, who tested positive for covid—i9.
10:57 pm
moeen‘s still displaying mild symptoms and is definitely out of the match. i am certainly up against it in terms of time. i only had my first bowl yesterday, will oversee the guys have been bowling for pretty much the entire week. -- when obviously the guys. that is obviously frustrating from my side of things, just put me back a little bit, the chances of me playing a quite slim, you haven't played and getting leading into this. it's potentially an injury risk. that position hasn't been made just yet. and finally, to a shock at the masters snooker in milton keynes, where the former champion, neil robertson, has been knocked out in the first round. the australian had led 5—3 against china's yan bingtao who was making his debut there, and despite needing only one more frame to reach the quarter finals, it was bingtao who staged a big
10:58 pm
comeback to clinch the decider and win 6—5. more reaction to that over on the bbc sport website, as well as tonight's football. but from me and the team, that's all your support for now. have a good night. —— sport. hello there. the next couple of days are looking pretty wet for much of the country. we'll see some winteriness across the high ground in the north as this wedge of milder air with the rain pushes up against this colder air to the east of the country. so here a cold, frosty start. could see an ice risk for western scotland, northwest england. some freezing rain perhaps falls on frozen surfaces. as there is rain out west slowly pushes its way eastwards through the course of wednesday. snow developing on the pennines and across the scottish hills. rain also extending down into the southeast of england. further south and west a milder day. considering what it will be further north and east. through wednesday night it really looks pretty atrocious. very wet, further snow on the hills
10:59 pm
of scotland and across the pennines.
11:00 pm
this is a bbc news special, as the pressure in congress mounts on president trump following last week's storming of capitol hill. i'm laura trevelyan in washington. and i'm tim willcox in london. us officials say hundreds will be charged for their roles in the violence for everything from trespass to murder. democrats push their case for impeachment, as president trump shows no remorse for his actions in the run—up to the capitol siege. as he flies to texas to see the us—mexico border wall, mr trump denies any responsibility for the violence. they vitalised my speech and my words and my final paragraph, my final sentence, and everybody to the t thought it was totally appropriate. thank you. in other news, breaking up illegal gatherings —
