the acting us attorney for the district of columbia has said there could be hundreds of charges in connection to the capitol hill protests. he said the offences could range from trespass and sedition to murder. president trump has said it is time for the united states to heal and respect law and order. he was speaking for the first time since the storming of the capitol building on a visit to the us border wall with mexico in texas indonesia says — the black box — flight recorder has been retrieved from the plane which crashed into the sea nearjakarta three days ago. it's hoped the second black box, with the cockpit voice recorder, will be found soon. the northern lights have been lighting up the skies of scotland this week. these are some of the pictures taken by bbc weather watchers.
11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the spectator‘s economics correspondent kate andrews and labour's former director of communications lance price. tomorrow's front pages, the express leads on warnings from the home secretary priti patel of a tougher crackdown on those flouting the lockdown rules in england. some gps have been told to pause covid—19 vaccinations — according to the daily telegraph — because of supply issues and to allow other parts of the country to catch up. in other news on the rollout — sources tell the financial times that borisjohnson clashed with nhs bosses over the pace of the vaccination programme — and that tensions were running high last week.
11:32 pm
the times reports thatjohn lewis is the first big retailer to suspend its click—and—collect service — as pressure grows on shops to do more to stop the surge in the virus. the front page of the guardian — thousands of hospital patients are set to be discharged early to hotels in order to free up beds for those seriously ill with covid—19. ‘insult to dignity‘ — the metro leads on footballer marcus rashford's anger at the quality of food parcels being given to families who'd normally recieve free school meals — saying ‘children deserve better than this.‘ the mirror labels it ‘profit from poverty‘ — saying the providers have been accused of taking taxpayers‘ money for the parcels but sending supplies worth as little as £3.
11:33 pm
so, let‘s begin. let‘s go to you again. vaccine drive for uk failing to hit targets. this stockist of the stats on this. the good news is that compared to the rest of europe and did the rest of the world, the uk is storming ahead with the population. continuing to rank in the top five countries that are moving ahead with vaccinations and as they point out, if we are to meet the prime ministers target of mid of vaccinating the most vulnerable after .5 million people, they‘re going to have to rent the subnet the moment in the last 2a hour period, the report that much 50,000 receive their first dose but that needs to be escalated to 350,000 a day if you‘re going to that target. all eyes from the government to get one right and for
11:34 pm
all the mistakes that have been made, if the government can meet its february target and get the vaccine roll—out right and not to say all will be forgiven, it will definitely change the dialogue as to how the uk has internationally had of this crisis. if it cannot meet those targets, it‘s another storey. spring, autumn, summer. it is long beena spring, autumn, summer. it is long been a viewing government and certainly the case 20 years ago when i was working at number ten for tony blair, they said very strict targets and for them to be credible, they had to be targets that you knew were going to be tough to achieve but if you did that, it put an emphasis on the system to try to achieve them. therefore, even if you fell a little bit short, you did manage to get more done than you would've thought. a difficult argument, for
11:35 pm
presentation, very often causes problems and difficulties. but on this one, if they can come very close to the target or even hit it, there will be a massive sigh of relief across the entire nation and for right or wrong, borisjohnson will waive the union play can claim this is a great british achievement. it doesn't really matter. lives will have been saved but having missed so many targets in the past, ppe, test and trace for the app or what it was, they missed so many targets, everything is riding on this one. lives are at risk, this is not some political jobs between lives are at risk, this is not some politicaljobs between opposition in government —— joust. expected to exceed 100,000 this week and with a figure like that, it is such a powerful devastating figure, much will be made of that. it will be. a
11:36 pm
devastating figure. in covid—19, england had the highest deaths in europe and that record does notjust go away and there is inevitably going to be an inquiry as to how this was handled in tough questions will be asked, but in terms of looking to the future and getting people safe, the vaccine is the only option we have now. so, it makes sense that all focus is on that in the coming weeks and months and there is going to be times that indeed there absolutely will be time to ask some of those questions down the line. let‘s go to the telegraph. gps leading the way in vaccine roll—out and forced to slow down. what you make of this? it is almost inevitable, when so much pressure has been put behind the roll—out and delivery of the vaccine, there are bound to have been some
11:37 pm
inconsistencies in this case geographically, inconsistencies in terms of where it is gone to. the two vaccines are quite different, the pfizer vaccine is actually very difficult to store and can only really be dealt with in hospital environments but but the oxford vaccine can go to gps surgeries. there seems to be concerned in the north of england where i‘m speaking to you from, many more people in these vaccines are being delivered to peoples arms per capita and perhaps in london and the southeast and there needs to be some sort of rebalancing of it. the problem is it‘s not just about statistics, rebalancing of it. the problem is it‘s notjust about statistics, it is all about people and if for example, down the road in leeds, somebody could‘ve had a vaccine because it was there and it was available to them but it was shipped somewhere else and as a result of that, someone suddenly got sick or even more tragically were to die,
11:38 pm
that would be a huge storey that would make the statistics almost irrelevant. as we know, some of those are difficult due to structure and perhaps more extra vaccines come online and they could be spread further on the country because they could be foraged. yes, one of the reasons why they can hit their target and deliver many more vaccines in the next few weeks is because of the oxford vaccine, the reason this is such a breakthrough is because this vaccine can be taken to peoples homes. perhaps the most vulnerable people, the gp office centre can get the vaccine and they can be inoculated there. it is a huge game changer here in the uk and around the world, especially in developing countries where it may be harder to store the virus vaccine. coming today them the minute, the
11:39 pm
main storey, patient centre hotels to free up beds for covid—19 care. the preparations for the spike in hospital admissions which according to the medical office, we have not even hit yetjust to the medical office, we have not even hit yet just showing to the medical office, we have not even hit yetjust showing how to the medical office, we have not even hit yet just showing how severe this crisis is come aboard to make of the governments plans for this eventuality? it does tell us that we do not, we have not gotten to the worship. as even tour for the past few weeks, the nhs with its own beds pretty much at capacity. something has to give and the idea that hotels and guest houses, whatever it may be, clearly empty beds because people are not allowed to stay there in most cases. that capacity could and should be used in some of the
11:40 pm
leading hotel chains of artie said that they are prepared to do that. i don't know if anyone could complain as long as it's done sensibly. it would then take some the pressure of the nhs and some that pressure would go on to volunteers and families to look after patients for patients who have beenjudged look after patients for patients who have been judged medically look after patients for patients who have beenjudged medically fit look after patients for patients who have been judged medically fit to leave the hospitals and others will be ready to take on that responsibility and the guardian storey of care homes and that causes more concern for those recovering from covid—19 and those who have been self isolating these 14 days back into care homes even though they have not had negative test before going and that will set off alarm bells during the scandal, frankly that people were taken out of hospital because of the blood pressure during the first wave and sent in the care homes and taking the virus with them. just below the
11:41 pm
storey of the fiscal impact. the psychological impact of the medics on the front line, depression and anxiety high among them. nearly 50% affected by some form of ptsd. this is a paul that reached out to doctors and nurses and to those on the front line asking about their mental health and i do not think it was terribly to out that depression had skyrocketed and they will always be surrounded by tragedy, but i think the case of covid—19, the scale is so incredibly different. and they‘re not distilling with the patients around them, many of whom they have better treatments for, but it will not be able to save every life and they‘re worried that they may have to deny beds or struggle to get beds
11:42 pm
for patients of emergencies that are not related to covid—19. juggling all sorts of really difficult issues related to the pandemic and those affected that are non—covid—19 patients so struggle to get health ca re patients so struggle to get health care as well. the toll on them is immense and it is unsurprising and very said that it‘s taking this medical toll. a very strong dramatic front page there. yes, and incredibly striking page and this refers to the scandal in the republic of them with unmarried mothers and children being thrown in there from 1922 in 1998 when instead of being cared for look after and nurtured, they were abused, they we re left nurtured, they were abused, they were left to starve and an incredible number of those kids
11:43 pm
died. something like 15% of them. at about 9000 young children died by the front page of the irish examiner, those are just the names from one care home in the county cork where in one year alone, something like, i think it 45% of the babies are young children who we re the babies are young children who were admitted died and it was an absolute scandal and the prime minister, conceded today something that the country did to itself because back in those days, it was a very conservative catholicism and what the church said, the church god and people of the other way in is an absolutely heartbreaking storey. with the church received him with the church is covered up. the
11:44 pm
commission is come up with some staggering findings, a few of them, they estimate that 56,000 women were essentially incarcerated in these homes are not able to leave having the right stripped of them and often their children stripped from them and illegal adoption practises and where the commission is recommending is that there is a referendum to help families reunite and help those who may have been given away to find out who their birth mother was and will be hearing more from the commission trying to start to put it right all of the terrible things that happen to these women into their children over the decades. the briefing today, the rules were clear that she said, did she clarify things for you. for a moment, that that was her on the front, but it‘s christine lampa rd. that was her on the front, but it‘s christine lampard. but as you make
11:45 pm
of the press briefing today? i'm afraid she is not one of the governments best communicators and she really only has one mode, which is strict. she regards that is her job and she was not particularly convincing and she was reading from her notes quite a lot and she made one quite significant slip—up in the actual factual description of what the regulations were and she said we are going to be strict in the police are going to be strict in the police are going to be strict i'm going to tell the police to go out there and find more people and in some ways, i think that is claiming us, the public in the way some individuals may or may not be behaving in terms of stretching the rules of breaking the rules, where is actually the problem i think is that the rules themselves are more lax than they we re themselves are more lax than they were in the first lockdown. there
11:46 pm
are get out closets, more reasons why you could leave your home then and it is that lack of clarity that is caused immense problems of the government all the way to the first lockdown and the performance today did not really do that any favours. we have a couple of papers left and i feel we we have a couple of papers left and ifeel we do we have a couple of papers left and i feel we do not have a great deal of time. speaking of the times, clamping down in bed to hold on the buyers growth. because today, we saw that even though the rules and regulations and the guidelines had not changed, they we re the guidelines had not changed, they were toughening up what they were going to do for people because they felt that they had a civic duty to do so. this is going to cost business an enormous amount of money, isn‘t it? business an enormous amount of money, isn't it? yes it is. the retailers in the front page can be very profitable online, which many
11:47 pm
smaller businesses can‘t suppress us of hit to them but, still very meaningful i think it actually relates to the front page of home secretaries comments and the government does not want to make the rules more strict, they want the rules more strict, they want the rules that exist now to be enforced and john lewis of the times notes that there listening to the governments warnings are choosing to change their behaviours without legally being required to do so. i think that if we can get to the next few weeks and get infections down, tragically, because of that lag between infections in hospitals, the position may be a lot worse. but if you can crackdown on this, as the secretary told the spectator in an interview. he said that the lessons they learned from the first lockdown without something to are just too inhumane. asking partners have been together for 50 years not to go to each other‘s funeral, something that
11:48 pm
they never want to bring in again. is hesitant for more restrictions because of the way that is reflected in the way businesses are reacting to the government guidance and they‘re trying to do their part to make sure that does not have to happen from a legal perspective. lot of police forces do not want to get involved in having to enforce this on top of everything else. get involved in having to enforce this on top of everything elsem would not be impractical to ask them to do it and the way in which big supermarkets are responding as well. it is clear that we have to be able to go out and buy food, but there is a bit of concern that the supermarkets have been more lax this time around in terms of how strict they are in making sure that the systems and you wear a mask and most of the supermarkets voluntarily have to come forward and say that they are going to be more strict with the way which they go doing their shopping which is absolutely fundamental and so they‘re looking at areas where without changing the
11:49 pm
rules, they can be the message that they do have to much more careful and perhaps we are being at the moment and it is probably a good thing that businesses like supermarkets and john lewis and others are taking in the that they are most people shops are a lot more exciting than what is being offered to children who are on free school meals at the moment. during this lockdown. sadness, pathos, anger, on what children seem to be expected to be able to live on and eat in five days. england football star markets will have thought that they won the debate over free school meals being extended during lockdown to roughly 1.5 million vulnerable children, but not these food textures are arriving
11:50 pm
in there saying this is not going to cut it at all. which be £30 of good food to feed a kid is substantial mealfor a week, it looks like it amounts may be £5 best and fruit and vegeta bles amounts may be £5 best and fruit and vegetables being cut in half and wrapping as if that‘s going to be enough and is extremely disappointing and somewhat unsurprising but very disappointing that the government has decided to issue out meals in this way and cash tra nsfer issue out meals in this way and cash transfer apparently can increase the budget for the food to be much more pragmatic and effective and probably got in the state significantly more meals for the government has decided to do which is essentially rationale for these kids in the bureaucracy and the taxpayer money funnelling through in multiple organisations that just have not through in multiple organisations thatjust have not done to the kids, it not work. 15 seconds, the damage that this is done. huge, child poverty, they did not take it seriously because they're not
11:51 pm
willing to give parents the money. it's a if they don't trust in the garden by the right food or buy food at all with the money that is given to them and i think that's a pretty insulting way to treat some of the poorest families in this country. shocking pictures that we have seen on the front pages. and thank you 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.
11:52 pm
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 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 those tight games, you‘ve not got a break, and tonight was maybe the break we all needed. and we will definitely take. in the night‘s other game,
11:53 pm
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. 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. ——have matches postponed. the changing of the matches, the impact is also minimal.
11:54 pm
you only have to play 19 matches at home and 19 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 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,
11:55 pm
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 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 f1 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,
11:56 pm
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—19. 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, when obviously the guys have been bowling for pretty much the entire week. 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.
11:57 pm
that position hasn‘t been made just yet. not 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 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 but from me and the team, that‘s all your sport for now. have a good night. 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.
11:58 pm
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 of scotland and across the pennines. some heavy rain could give rise to some localised flooding in places. again, cold in the north and the east versus milder further south and west. as we head through thursday it stays very wet further snow in the hills in the north. mild in the south, cold in the north and then it‘s a little bit drier for all areas on friday.
12:00 am
this is a bbc news special, as the pressure in congress mounts on president trump after the storming of capitol hill and three house republicans say they‘ll vote to impeach him. i‘m laura trevelyan in washington, dc. 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 removing the president from office. this is the scene live in the house of representatives president trump flies to the us—mexico border wall, denying 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.
