it's part of a pilot project that will see hundreds of stores offering vaccinations in the next two weeks. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. six pharmacies in england that are big enough to allow for social distancing. stores run by boots, superdrug and independent pharmacies like this one in macclesfield will be the first to offer the vaccine today. but over the next fortnight, many more community pharmacies should join them. we many more community pharmacies should join them.— many more community pharmacies should join them. should 'oin them. we are delighted that should join them. we are delighted that pharmacy _ should join them. we are delighted that pharmacy teams _ should join them. we are delighted that pharmacy teams who - should join them. we are delighted that pharmacy teams who have - should join them. we are delighted l that pharmacy teams who have been should join them. we are delighted - that pharmacy teams who have been on the health service front line through the pandemic are joining this great national effort to defeat the virus. they are, as you know, in the virus. they are, as you know, in the community and very convenient, so it's a really proud moment for community pharmacy and a moment of hope all of us, really. the community pharmacy and a moment of hope all of us, really.— hope all of us, really. the roll-out ofthe hope all of us, really. the roll-out of the two — hope all of us, really. the roll-out of the two coronavirus _ hope all of us, really. the roll-out of the two coronavirus vaccines . hope all of us, really. the roll-out of the two coronavirus vaccines is | of the two coronavirus vaccines is accelerating. the jab will soon be available at around 2700 sites across the uk, as well as hospitals, gp surgeries and the big vaccination hubs that into operation on monday.

around 200 community pharmacies should come online in the next two weeks with more to follow. hello, mary. you need to receive a letter inviting you to make an appointment for a jab and people are being asked not to turn up without an appointment, but high street pharmacists are experienced in regularly administering annual flu jabs and they will be needed if the government is going to meet its ambition target of vaccinating millions of the most vulnerable as well as helping care workers by mid—february. dominic hughes, bbc news. new rules requiring travellers arriving in england to present proof of a negative coronavirus test result, have been delayed. the restrictions, which apply to passengers arriving by boat, train or plane, were due to come into force tomorrow morning but have been pushed back to monday. transport secretary, grant shapps, says the delay will give international arrivals time to prepare. people who've had covid—19 are protected from getting it again for at least five months, that's according to new research by public health england. the study says past infection gives people 83 per cent immunity compared with those

who have not had coronavirus, however, those with immunity may still be able carry the virus and transmit it to others. donald trump has become the first us president to be impeached twice. he's been charged with incitement of insurrection over last week's assault on congress by his supporters. our us correspondent barbara plett usher has the story. the resolution is adopted without objection and the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. so ended a week like no other in washington with the astonishing collapse of donald trump's final daysin collapse of donald trump's final days in office. lawmakers returned to a capitol hill transformed, thousands of national guard troops there to protect them from the loyal supporters of the departing president who had stormed congress. the people's house looks like a war zone. the debate to impeach the president for inciting the violence was sharp and emotional. the

pro—trump congressman and one member of the house republican leadership and in the senate, the top leader has said, i am not sure how i will vote, which suggests he might be willing to convict, so the situation is quite fluid and we can expect it to dominate the first weeks ofjoe biden's presidency, which is something that concerns him as he wants to hit the ground running with his agenda on vaccines, covid relief and getting his cabinet nominees confirmed, so he has asked whether the senate might be able to split its time between this trial and his own agenda, but the issue of what mr trump's fate will be will dominate even after he has left office. barbara, thanks very much and we will talk to lord schwartz, a former adviser to president clinton, shortly. a team of experts from the world health organisation has arrived in the chinese city of wuhan to investigate the origin of the coronavirus. china is facing a series of local outbreaks and its first covid death in eight months. the group will spend two weeks

in quarantine in a hotel before visiting different sites under chinese supervision. from today victims of domestic abuse will be able to use a code word to get help at thousands of pharmacies across the uk. anyone who asks a member of staff for "ani" will be taken to a safe space to contact support services. one in five offences recorded by police during the first national lockdown in england and wales involved domestic abuse according to figures from the office for national statistics. more on that with victoria atkins at half past seven.. train services are being cut by nearly 30 per cent in england because of the third lockdown. the industry body, the rail delivery group, say it will provide better value for money for taxpayers who are subsidising services which are carrying less passengers. very wet this morning, chucking it down when i was walking to the studio and let's find out if it is the same for everybody in the

country. good morning, sarah. some wet weather for many of us today with lots of cloud bringing outbreaks of rain but wintry weather as well, so we have some heavy snowfall across parts of northern england and scotland and the met office have issued an amber weather warning for the heavy snowfall, particularly through the course of this morning causing a bit of disruption. the areas affected by the amber warning are anywhere from northumberland up to is the central highlands in scotland and even down to the central belt at low levels with some snow falling, so about ten or 20 centimetres possible on top of the higher ground, but some winter nice for many areas across scotland and northern england, so this is the recent rain and snow radar and the blue colour shows the rain, the white showing sleet and snow which is mainly falling over the higher ground but some of it is down to lower levels away from the coast. lots of blue on the map as we head through the day so many of us seeing outbreaks of rain but we have sleet and snow continuing through much of the day across parts of northern

england and scotland and look at the temperatures, two or three degrees towards the north—east, typically ten or 11 towards the south—west. let's take a look later on, five o'clock and most of the rain, sleet and snow will start to peter out, so still a few snow flurries through the day across parts of eastern scotland, down into northern england and it is tending to fizzle away but still a little bit of rain, sleet and snow through the course of the evening and some rain towards the south—east, may be some sleet over the higher ground. northern ireland will see that drier weather spreading through the course of the day and as we head through the night the dry weather will spread across country, so turning a little bit quieter as we head through tomorrow morning but again a cold start of the day, sub zero temperatures so where you've had the wintry weather today there could be ice around first thing this morning and some frost and also freezing fog, so a cold but dry day and for friday and then a return to something milder and wetter by the time we get to

saturday. and wetter by the time we get to saturda . w ., , and wetter by the time we get to saturda . ., , , ., ., ., as we've been hearing this morning, coronavirus vaccines will be available from a limited number of large, high street chemists from todaybut smaller, community pharmacies say they need to be included too. nina's looking into this one for us today. nina? it is modest at the beginning though. it is modest at the beginning thouth, ., , it is modest at the beginning thou~h. . , ., though. pharmacist will say that most people _ though. pharmacist will say that most people live _ though. pharmacist will say that most people live within - though. pharmacist will say that most people live within 20 - though. pharmacist will say that i most people live within 20 minutes of the local chemist so it it makes sense to use them more. there has been a campaign to get pharmacies involved in the big vaccine roll—out but the question is how involved. pharmacies are unusual in the sense that they get some nhs funding for services but fundamentally they are small businesses. there are more than 11,000 community pharmacies in england widely offering services like the flu jab and they like to play a much bigger part in the corona vaccine roll—out. in order to

be able to deliver that they need to survive as businesses and last year, more than 400 of them closed. lots of them have had to reduce staffing levels and in some cases owners have had to put their own money into keep the business going. as charlie was saying, from today, six large pharmacies will begin offering jabs and over the next fortnight and another 200 will be signed up. that is nowhere near the total number of community sites who say they are ready and willing to take part. more importantly this will help more people be vaccinated sooner. haste more importantly this will help more people be vaccinated sooner. we are havin: to people be vaccinated sooner. we are having to dig — people be vaccinated sooner. we are having to dig deeper _ people be vaccinated sooner. we are having to dig deeper into _ people be vaccinated sooner. we are having to dig deeper into our- having to dig deeper into our personal— having to dig deeper into our personal coffers to give the businesses afloat and that is down to a number of challenges, the operational challenges, and each person— operational challenges, and each person in— operational challenges, and each person in this country on foot can -et person in this country on foot can get to— person in this country on foot can get to a _ person in this country on foot can get to a community pharmacy within 20 minutes — get to a community pharmacy within

how it might work as he is in a pharmacy for us.— how it might work as he is in a pharmacy for us. you have your 'ab and then you — pharmacy for us. you have your 'ab and then you have i pharmacy for us. you have your 'ab and then you have to... i pharmacy for us. you have your 'ab and then you have to... you �* pharmacy for us. you have yourjab and then you have to... you have l pharmacy for us. you have yourjab| and then you have to... you have to be ut and then you have to... you have to be put for— and then you have to... you have to be put for 15 — and then you have to... you have to be put for 15 minutes _ and then you have to... you have to be put for 15 minutes away. - and then you have to... you have to be put for 15 minutes away. not - and then you have to... you have to be put for 15 minutes away. not as i be put for 15 minutes away. not as eas as it be put for 15 minutes away. not as easy as it sounds. _ let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the guardian reflects on the uk passing what it calls the "grim milestone" of 100—thousand deaths from coronavirus. the paper pays tribute to just a few of the human stories behind that statistic. the daily mail strikes a more positive tone. it says there are now more than 21 million covid jabs in britain — although not all of the vaccine batches have passed regulatory checks and many are not yet in vials. the times also gives some reason for optimism. it leads on a study which shows that surviving coronavirus leaves you with an immune defence as good as that delivered by any vaccine. the paper also has a picture of us troops stationed in the capitol.

they're on alert after president trump was impeached for a second time. and of course that story dominates the us papers. the new york times also shows troops in the capitol under the headline "impeached". some rather amazing pictures of troops inside the capitol building sitting everywhere. there was one story about a journalist who went in and said to one of the soldiers, don't you want a chair to sit down on? �* , ., , ,., , on? and he 'ust went, absolutely not, i am on? and hejust went, absolutely not. i am not _ on? and hejust went, absolutely not, i am not marking _ on? and hejust went, absolutely not, i am not marking the - on? and hejust went, absolutely not, i am not marking the floor, | on? and hejust went, absolutely| not, i am not marking the floor, i don't want to bring any damage to the building. extraordinary images. if anyone is looking for a job, i have a couple ofjobs that are around. if you are in the kent area or willing to move to the kent area, you could be britain's first bison range. you know, big kind of cows, cattle. we are all waiting. a herd

of four bison will be introduced... do you have to have previous bison experience? let me give you the background. there will be a hurdle for bison to be introduced in the 500 acre fenced enclosure, the first time they've been brought to the uk and in answerto time they've been brought to the uk and in answer to your question, you are not expected to have any significant experience with bison. you do need ecological knowledge and a passion to tell others about the animals. they are coming in the spring next year and it could be the job of a lifetime. is there another job of a lifetime. is there another job on offer? this is a job that's just really interested me and i think if you are perhaps thinking, what can i do, there is ajapanese man who has this massive online following and what he has done is he has rented himself out. that's good —— could sound odd, but it is odd, but not in the way that you might think it is odd. he is renting himself out too bored, lonely or

needy people and says he is a companion that does nothing. he rents himself under the name of the rental person who does nothing and he is 35 and basically he does things like people who just want to go for a walk with him or accompany them shopping. one person, and this is serious, one person was recovering from a suicide attempt and what he basically does is he does not offer any opinion, he just keeps you company. he is doing himself down because he's not doing nothing. he's doing a lot because sometimes just nothing. he's doing a lot because sometimesjust being nothing. he's doing a lot because sometimes just being around is exactly what is needed. he says don't expect anything from me, i can just do the easy things and is a companion, so i thought it was a nicejob. a story companion, so i thought it was a nice job. a story has emerged about tick—tock which is very popular and lots of younger people tend to look at it but this is a folk singing scottish postman who has turned into a bit of a storm and his name is nathan evans and he does see shanties and have a listen... what

politics, so could you put this on some kind of scale for us? absolutely. donald trump is not only lost the popular vote in america twice this last election he lost the white house, the house on the senate, and today, for the second time, he was impeached by the house of congress. it is truly extraordinary when you think about how he will be remembered in history, it really will be for the second impeachment, breaking all records as well as not living up to the covid crisis.— the covid crisis. help us as we watch from — the covid crisis. help us as we watch from over _ the covid crisis. help us as we watch from over here. - the covid crisis. help us as we watch from over here. what i the covid crisis. help us as we i watch from over here. what practical difference does this make in the coming days as his presidency comes to an end? . to coming days as his presidency comes to an end? -— to an end? . to be honest, charlie, not much. — to an end? . to be honest, charlie, not much. and _ to an end? . to be honest, charlie, not much, and that _ to an end? . to be honest, charlie, not much, and that is _ to an end? . to be honest, charlie, not much, and that is because i to an end? . to be honest, charlie, | not much, and that is because there are only six days left in the presidency and the house moved to impeached today and that means they send the articles of impeachment to the senator where he will be tried on at that point it will either be

convicted or absolved and what that means is it won't happen in the next six days. the minority leader is mitch mcconnell, a republican and he says he won't call back for a session to go through this animal and biden is inaugurated next wednesday on the 20th. and this means that that the senate impeachment hearing will go on and the few weeks that it appears in his administration and we are getting mixed signals from the house as nancy pelosi gets to decide when to send the articles of impeachment and she could do that in the next few days and a good start next week in the senate or she could hold onto them for the next couple of months and letjoe biden get his administration under way, but so far what we are hearing, the clue she is giving us is she will send them up in the next few days and the trial would start next week in the senate and by the way it's very interesting that when joe biden

and by the way it's very interesting that whenjoe biden is inaugurated with the vice president, she becomes the tie—breaker of the senate and because of the winds in georgia last week of two democratic citizens for the first time ever that becomes a democratic senate and the democrats will be in charge of the hearing. laura, skipped through a short part of the process. there is an endgame possibility here which many democrats would like to see which is that donald trump at the end of the process could be barred from holding any further public office. explain how that would come about. yes. any further public office. explain how that would come about. yes, if he is convicted _ how that would come about. yes, if he is convicted with _ how that would come about. yes, if he is convicted with a _ how that would come about. yes, if he is convicted with a two _ how that would come about. yes, if he is convicted with a two thirds i he is convicted with a two thirds majority in the senate and found guilty of the incitement of insurrection then the senate can do one more vote and with a simple majority of 51 votes, they can vote him out of ever being able to run for public office again, so that really is the endgame of the democrats, but it's also that we are

finding out the game for a lot of conservative republicans as they feel like may be right now they can pivot away from trump and get back to the conservative republican party they once knew, so a lot at stake and very interesting collaboration between the democrats and republican. d0 between the democrats and republican-— between the democrats and republican. between the democrats and reublican. i. ~ ., republican. do you think that given the first part _ republican. do you think that given the first part of _ republican. do you think that given the first part of the _ republican. do you think that given the first part of the processes i the first part of the processes happen in the boat has taken place and donald trump is being impeached for a second time, do you around him will be making different decisions now that this, if you like, has been formalised under criticism of his behaviour at that point in time has been formalised. do you think people will fall away from his immediate circle? , will fall away from his immediate circle? ., , ., will fall away from his immediate circle? ., , circle? they already have been. last week after the _ circle? they already have been. last week after the insurrection - circle? they already have been. last week after the insurrection to i week after the insurrection to cabinet secretaries resigned and a lot of the staff has already left and right now we are finding that donald trump is very isolated and there are very few people left around him and they even have

trouble getting talking points out to republican senators. they need to drive the message. there is no guidance from the white house and there are very few people left and donald trump is now reportedly taking lawyers from rudy giuliani. thank you very much for your time, laura, a former adviser to president clinton who himself was impeached. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm sonja jessup. hospital patients in london are being sent to a hotel to free up beds for critical covid—19 cases. patients from king's college hospital in south london, who've been treated for coronavirus, will be looked after at a best western hotel in croydon. there's 19 rooms at the moment.

there's investment on the hotel side. we have put in a ventilator system, which is designed to filter the air. we have a whole covid—positive safe protocol we've set up. we've worked with clinicians to put together. the whole process process from picking up the patients right through to check out... london's hospitality and tourism bosses are calling on the government to extend the reduced rate of 5% vat beyond the end of march. the industry generates more than £16 billion to the capital's economy every year. but the tourism alliance and uk hospitality say — without extra support — more businesses and jobs could be at risk. last week, the government promised one—off grants to hospitality businesses affected by the pandemic. this year's london to brighton bike ride has already been cancelled. it was due to be held in september but the organisers say they're taking the decision now rather than risk calling it off at the last minute. the british heart foundation,

which runs the event, says it'll be back bigger and better in 2022. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the district line has minor delays. the overground still has a reduced service, though you can't see it on there, and the waterloo and city line of course continues to be closed. those roadworks on the a2 at the danson interchange continue to slow things down in bexleyheath, there are westbound queues to hall place. all that rain overnight causing some problems too. the anti clockwise entry slip on the m25 intojunction 22 for st albans is closed from the roundabout. and the a41 hendon way is partly blocked northbound towards the north circular at the brent cross flyover. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very wet start out there this morning and it looks like we will hang onto this rain for much of the day. the front that has brought it is stalling — it's not moving anywhere very quickly. heavy rain for much of the morning,

into the afternoon as well. the wind veers from the east. with the colder air moving in from the continent, it could turn wintry. we may get some snow in the north and east. temperatures that bit colder, around four, five celsius. the further south and west of london you are, the temperature that bit milder, so falling as rain. overnight tonight any rain and any sleet or snow mixed in there will start to clear as the front finally starts to move out of the way. the sky clears. we could see mist and fog developing but also the temperature drops, down to minus one in one or two spots. with the rain today that could freeze on untreated roads and surfaces. on friday, a ridge of high pressure. mist and fog might take its time to lift. we could see some sunny spells. quite chilly tomorrow and unsettled again into the weekend. more from me in half an hour. plenty more too on our website at the usual address now it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now.

hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on breakfast this morning... we'll be hearing how your generous donations of laptops are helping disadvantaged children learn from home. olympic gymnast max whitlock will be sharing his tips for staying fit during the pandemic. don't worry, there will be some less challenging alternatives to these ones. and we'll be hearing from a hospital worker and origami expert, who says folding more than 150 paper animals, skeletons and yodas has helped him get through lockdown. yes, they are made of paper. doing things like that, even if you cannot manage anything like that is quite therapeutic in a funny sort of way, calming. we'll need a bit of that.

over 1000 people, maybe two all three did not turn up. everybody else came, came for vaccines. they had people drop them. some had not been out for months. they were so grateful to come and be here. somebody said, today is a good day, i feel like finally is some hope. they had —— we had lots of help. a team of volunteers is essential to help people walk through the process and get vaccines. so far people are happy to have it. please wait for a letter, a a call from the surgery or somewhere else to say you are eligible to come and have it. do not turn up and wherever you want it from without an appointment. ianthem from without an appointment. when eo - le from without an appointment. when --eole aet from without an appointment. when people get the _ from without an appointment. when people get the vaccines, _ from without an appointment. when people get the vaccines, are - from without an appointment. when people get the vaccines, are they being told anything about the mass vaccination centres?— vaccination centres? some of our atients vaccination centres? some of our patients have _ vaccination centres? some of our patients have had _ vaccination centres? some of our patients have had a _ vaccination centres? some of our patients have had a letter - vaccination centres? some of our patients have had a letter saying| patients have had a letter saying you can come to this vaccination

centre. it is a bit away from us. some said, i would rather have it at the surgery and that is fine. people who are a little bit older have to be a bit more careful about where they go when there is transport. sometimes they are happy to have it in the local area. it does not matter where you get it from, just get your vaccination. haste matter where you get it from, 'ust get your vaccination.i get your vaccination. we must be clear, festival _ get your vaccination. we must be clear, festival it _ get your vaccination. we must be clear, festival it is _ get your vaccination. we must be clear, festival it is a _ get your vaccination. we must be clear, festival it is a two - get your vaccination. we must be clear, festival it is a two part i clear, festival it is a two part process, there are two jabs for it to have full efficacy. —— first of all. it is worth you reiterating thatjust because you are vaccinated does not mean you cannot spread the virus. ., . . does not mean you cannot spread the virus. ., ., ., ., virus. you are right. there are two courses, virus. you are right. there are two courses. you _ virus. you are right. there are two courses, you have _ virus. you are right. there are two courses, you have one _ virus. you are right. there are two courses, you have one and - virus. you are right. there are two courses, you have one and the i courses, you have one and the government advice is to have the second one within 12 weeks. that would usually be arranged by the place you got your firstjab

would usually be arranged by the place you got your first jab from also having the vaccine does not mean you are now immune and you can do what you want. some people will develop an immune response and some people will not. you must make sure you keep your distance, you are hand washing, wearing your masks, staying away from people, following the rules so you can still stay safe. haste rules so you can still stay safe. we heard that — rules so you can still stay safe. we heard that there has been a lot of demand for people to access vaccines all through the day and night. i know you have been vaccinating older people, of course that is the first wave, the first four macro groups. do you think availability of the vaccine throughout 24 hours will help? i am not expecting you to do because you have been working very hard. it because you have been working very hard. , ~' because you have been working very hard. , ,, ., because you have been working very hard. , «i ., ., hard. it sounds like a good idea. from our experience, _ hard. it sounds like a good idea. from our experience, we - hard. it sounds like a good idea. from our experience, we are i hard. it sounds like a good idea. from our experience, we are inl hard. it sounds like a good idea. i from our experience, we are in the winter, the days are short. by five o'clock it is dark. the people we are vaccinating are saying to us, i

would rather not come, it is too dark and cold for me to come out. he had taken on unmade clinics this yearin had taken on unmade clinics this year in the daylight hours. —— we have taken that on and made clinics. while that might work well for younger people when it is their turn to be vaccinated, i am not sure how it will fit in with what we have been experiencing.— it will fit in with what we have been experiencing. promise me you will make a — been experiencing. promise me you will make a couple _ been experiencing. promise me you will make a couple of— been experiencing. promise me you will make a couple of times - been experiencing. promise me you will make a couple of times a i been experiencing. promise me you will make a couple of times a day i been experiencing. promise me you will make a couple of times a day to have a cup of tea and a biscuit to keep your energy levels up. i am a biscuit fiend. thank you. always a good time for tea and biscuit. are we going to see sunshine? a bit ona a bit on a beach, sunshine. it is the south—west coast of sri lanka.

it is one of the toughest places to play cricket because of the heat and humidity. good morning. the first day of england's opening day one of the first test against sri lanka began just over two hours ago — and the decision to go with stuart broad taking two wickets in three balls. before dom bess reduced the home side to 25—3. but it's been hard—going for england in the field we can have a look at the backdrop for players to enjoy. if things are going badly for them, look out at the pavilion. bowler tash farrant has been recalled to the england women's squad for the first time in two years, for the tour to new zealand. farrant is included after injuries to anya shrubsole and katie george. england will play three twenty20 games and three one—day internationals, starting on 23rd february in christchurch.

amid extra scrutiny on every aspect of life under lockdown, manchester city manager pep guardiola, says he doesn't know if he can stop his players hugging each other after they score. city beat brighton 1—0, with a phil foden goal at the etihad — that took them up to third in the table. but again, there was little evidence of social distancing, in the goal celebrations, despite the premier league's latest coronavirus protocols. the moment you score a goal, one guy runs and the other one doesn't go to celebrate with them, it is weird, uncomfortable. i don't know what is going to happen. when we play football games, we are tested in the last ten days five or six times, so every two days we have tests, so everyone is negative. it is outdoors. the virus is less aggressive. i don't know. we are going to follow what the premier league says but i don't know if we'll be able to do it.

when harry kane put tottenham ahead at home to fulham, the celebrations looked to be restricted to fist bumps and hig fives. he said before that players must abide by the rules. but fulham worked really hard to get back in the game — and when ivan cavaleiro scored a late equaliser there was less restraint. celtic�*s chief exeutive peter lawrell has apologised for the club's controversial training trip to dubai, saying it was "clearly a mistake". neil lennon and his squad returned from the middle east on friday, with christopherjullien subsequently testing positive for covid—19, forcing him, 13 others players, plus lennon and his assistant to isolate. last night's scottish premiership match was called off — not because of coronavirus but torrential rain. this was livingston's ground, where they were due to play aberdeen. but it was postponed ten minutes after the scheduled kick—off. no balance in the ball at all. referee steven mclean said it was unsafe, with a layer of ice

on the pitch and water sitting on top of it. this year's women's six nations has been pushed back, with organisers hoping to start in the spring or summer. the tournament normally runs on the same weekends as the men's event, which is still on course to begin next month. champions england are the only fully professional side in the competition, whch creates issues around covid testing, bubbles and travel. there's generally a bit of drama when ronnie o'sullivan takes to the snooker table, and this time we're talking about a stunning comeback at the masters in milton keynes. he was 5—3 down to ding junhui, but he recovered to win by 6 frames to 5 and go through to the quarter—finals, where he'll face john higgins. o'sullivan had experience to lean on — he's won this tournament seven times. my my mental skills are good. that puts doubt into your opponents. they are

so intense, some of the players. whether you play well or not, if you have that level of intensity, it can sometimes the game can swing back in your favour. i think the pressure just got to ding. when he gives you that o'sullivan stare! thank you very much. high street pharmacies in england will begin rolling out covid vaccines from today. it starts with a handful of stores but it's hoped hundreds of chemists will start providing injections over the next few weeks. breakfast�*s graham satchell is in guildford for us this morning. that is a familiar sight. people will be thinking, that looks like mike penn nest. talk us through some of the practicalities, how this will

work. —— this is a super drug on the high street, very familiar. then;r high street, very familiar. they have big sign — high street, very familiar. they have big sign saying i high street, very familiar. they have big sign saying and i high street, very familiar. ti2 have big sign saying and if you high street, very familiar. ti21 have big sign saying and if you come to this kind of pharmacy for a vaccine, you will be greeted by someone from the pharmacy and lead down to the back of the store. as you say, any high street pharmacy. this is quite a big one. it is a significant moment in the roll—out of the vaccination programme because so far vaccines have been given in hospitals, gp surgeries and in these max vaccination centres. the vaccine really are starting to be delivered on the high street. it starts off pretty small, only six of them happening today. down the corridor this is the waiting area. you will wait on this line of seats before

you have your vaccination. we will take you very quickly into one of the consultation rooms. there are three rooms in this pharmacy whether vaccinations will be happening, this is one of them. —— where the vaccinations will be happening. this is where the magic will happen. they will have a quick chat with michael henry from superdrug, one pharmacy that will be starting vaccinations today. does it feel like an important day for you as far as the vaccination programme is concerned? i think so. i am proud our pharmacists will be involved. it is one of— pharmacists will be involved. it is one of the — pharmacists will be involved. it is one of the first community pharmacies on the high street to be vaccinating — pharmacies on the high street to be vaccinating their community. it feels _ vaccinating their community. it feels like — vaccinating their community. it feels like an important moment for the nation — feels like an important moment for the nation. it will help to protect

take part at this stage. bill take part at this stage. all superdrug _ take part at this stage. fill superdrug stores have safety measures in place to prevent people from contracting covid from social distancing measures and ppe for all our staff. with vaccination centres we had size and space to be able to do that on this scale.— do that on this scale. quite a lot of --eole do that on this scale. quite a lot of people have _ do that on this scale. quite a lot of people have been i do that on this scale. quite a lot of people have been vaccinated l of people have been vaccinated already, had theirfirstjab of people have been vaccinated already, had their firstjab with the adviser vaccine. you are giving the adviser vaccine. you are giving the oxford vaccine. does it need to be the same one? if the oxford vaccine. does it need to be the same one?— the oxford vaccine. does it need to be the same one? if people have had their first vaccination i be the same one? if people have had their first vaccination with i be the same one? if people have had their first vaccination with the i their first vaccination with the pfizer vaccination, the second one will need to be that as well. there are six pharmacies i will need to be that as well. there are six pharmacies that i will need to be that as well. there are six pharmacies that are i will need to be that as well. there are six pharmacies that are starting this today. the first person will be in here at eight o'clock. six is very small, isn't it? taste

that be used safely? a slightly more complicated question. my complicated question. m1 understanding is complicated question. ij�*i1 understanding is nhs complicated question. m1 understanding is nhs policy complicated question. ti1 understanding is nhs policy dictates that pharmacies will need to be open seven days a week, operating a 12 hour day to be eligible to take part in this high—street programme and have the space necessary to ensure distancing. at this stage, my understanding is these vaccinations will not be happening on your corner pharmacy, really tiny little places, but nonetheless the government says it is ramping up this programme and hopes to have 200 pharmacies on stream in the coming weeks and in the end more than 2700 places that will be getting vaccines. the programme is gradually being rolled out. the likelihood of it being in a small pharmacy is unlikely at this stage. a team of scientists

from the world health organisation has arrived in the city of wuhan in china to investigate the origins of covid—19. they arrived as china confirmed its first death from the virus in eight months. our china correspondent robin brant joins us now from wuhan. robin, good to see you. so many people will be interested in what this team may find because there was so much consternation about how china dealt with the virus and how much information was coming out last year. it much information was coming out last ear. ., . . much information was coming out last ear, ., , , ., much information was coming out last ear. . , , ., ., much information was coming out last ear. ., , ., ., .., year. it has been a long time coming but they are — year. it has been a long time coming but they are here i year. it has been a long time coming but they are here now, i year. it has been a long time coming but they are here now, a i year. it has been a long time coming but they are here now, a year i year. it has been a long time coming | but they are here now, a year almost exactly since the outbreak began here in wuhan. this is a city back to normal, a handful of men fishing on the water's edge. they are here and looking back as to how the fire started so to speak with and i am trying to prevent a repeat of this global pandemic. it is a ten member

team, they arrived about three hours ago. they are not going anywhere for two weeks because they had to quarantine. during that period there will be daily video conferences with their chinese hosts and scientific counterparts. then they will be out and about, going to places, looking at samples and going to locations. one place they will almost certainly go to is the market when they saw the first cluster of cases. it has been boarded up for a very long time. it raises the immediate question, this is the issue of credibility in terms of time pass. what can i garner by going there? were they go further? will they go to the wuhan institute of virology? they have been looking at viruses there for decades. for now, we do not know much detail about who they

are, there is no access to them but work has started.— work has started. people here will find uuite work has started. people here will find quite remarkable, i work has started. people here will find quite remarkable, if- work has started. people here will find quite remarkable, if i i find quite remarkable, if i understand it correctly, china has just recorded its first covid—related death for eight months, that has onlyjust happened. it is important to remind everyone. it is important to remind everyone. i remind myself on a daily basis that wuhan is a city that was locked down for over two months, so is most of —— and now it's back to normal along with most of china. authorities are concerned that one case has been concerned near beijing. one death today as well. authorities are now telling 22 million people they cannot leave their houses all their cities. they

through today as well. this wedge of milder air has been leading into the south west. as it bumps into colder air, that is where we have seen sleet and snow already. more of that you can put up some heavy snowfall across northern ireland, scotland and the pennines. elsewhere a mix of rain and sleet. some drier weather working in from the west across northern ireland and towards the south—west of england. temperatures in the milderair south—west of england. temperatures in the milder air eight, nine. where there is snowfall and colder air, down to two celsius. later on today all the rain, sleet and snow will fizzle out. overnight things will be largely dry. there will be a legacy of low cloud, mist and make tomorrow. it will be cold. temperatures for many following 80 degrees below freezing. there will

be icy stretches particularly where you have had snow and sleet. on friday a ridge of high pressure will be building in. a mostly dry picture on friday but a cold start to the david frost and freezing fog patches which could linger for a david frost and freezing fog patches which could lingerfor a good part of the day. brightness developing on friday. a dry and improved day compared with what we have. perhaps up compared with what we have. perhaps up to seven towards the west on friday. towards the weekend with this frontal system is with us for saturday bringing wet and windy weather across the country. high pressure builds in behind that in the second half of the weekend. it is a bit of a mixed picture this weekend. spells of rain and hill snow on saturday. things are becoming mostly dry as we head on into sunday. wintry weather in the

north today. you can find the latest details on the bbc weather website. back to you both. it's been a week since the bbc re—launched it's make a difference campaign and already there has been a huge response from so many of you. thousands of laptops and tablets have been donated to help get children, who are learning from home, online. fiona lamdin has been to meet some of the people donating them and catch up with families who have been helped. what did you say? your laptop is here, if you'd like to come and grab it. oh, my goodness. this was the moment when edwina and herfamily received a laptop, on loan from their school. that was a week ago. thank you very much. thank you. it's been kind of a heavy weight lifted off. no—one was shouting, "mummy, can i use your phone? mummy, this." no.

each person has got a slot on the laptop. as a result of the bbc make a difference campaign, we have been overwhelmed by your generosity. in seven days, we have had over 5,000 devices donated. and the bbc has just learned that 20,000 extra devices are coming in the next few weeks from businesses. one of those who donated was marilyn. i heard the appeal on the bbc. we had two laptops upstairs, doing nothing for a couple of years. so i just wanted to find out and help and give. my husband passed away from covid four weeks ago. he was so generous, so generous and kind. he would have done it himself. he would be really proud of me, i'm sure. yeah. proud. marilyn hasn't been able to hold her husband's funeral yet but she's so determined to help, she's already taken their laptops to the local school. if people don't have

the technological know—how to erase the data, then they can be reassured if they pass the laptop unto us we will make sure it is completely clean of anything that is left on there before we pass it on to a family. on the other side of the city, we meet the adam family. these ten—year—old identical twins have been relying on paper hand—outs from their school. we have 400 children at school, all trying to access home learning. we have around 70 families who need a laptop in order to access that home learning, so demand is great. earlier this week, the government promised another 300,000 devices to disadvantaged children learning at home. taking the total to 1.3 million. now we have this, we'll be able to join in on the live lessons. i want to be a doctor and so i have to work really hard and focus more on my work.

so having these laptops really helps my education. i would just like to say thank you for this donation because it is a life—changer and it is also a life—saver. fiona lamdin, bbc news. i have little doubt that young lady will do what she says she will do, become a doctor. it makes sense. absolutely. now she has the tools to be able to do it. if you have a laptop or tablet that you want to donate, then please go to bbc.co.uk/makeadifference, where you can find details of the charities who will help get them safely to the children who need them most. it has been a great success. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm sonja jessup. more than seven thousand people are being treated in hospitals

across the capital for coronavirus. the growing pressure to free up beds for critical cases has led to one hospital — kings college in south london — to arrange for some mostly homeless patients who are recovering from covid to be looked after at a best western hotel in croydon. there's 19 rooms at the moment. there's investment on the hotel side. we have put in a ventilator system, which is designed to filter the air. we have a whole covid—positive safe protocol we've set up. we've worked with clinicians to put together. the whole process from picking up the patients right through to check out london's hospitality and tourism bosses are calling on the government to extend the reduced rate of 5 percent vat beyond the end of march. the industry generates more than 16 billion pounds to the capital's economy every year. but the tourism alliance and uk hospitality say without extra support

more businesses and jobs could be at risk. last week the government promised one—off grants to hospitality businesses affected by the pandemic. this year's london to brighton bike ride has already been cancelled. it was due to be held in september, but the organisers say they're taking the decision now, rather than risk calling it off at the last minute. the british heart foundation which runs the event says it'll be back bigger and better in 2022. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the district line has minor delays— the overground still has a redued service— though you can't see it on there— and the waterloo and city line of course continues to be closed. those roadworks on the a2 at the danson interchange continue to slow things down in bexleyheath, there are westbound queues to hall place. all that rain overnight causing some problems too. the anti clockwise entry slip on the m25 intojunction 22 for st albans is closed from the roundabout. and the a41 hendon way is partly blocked northbound towards the north circular at the brent cross flyover.

time for the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very wet start out there this morning and it looks like we will hang onto this rain for much of the day. the front that has brought it is stalling — it's not moving anywhere very quickly. heavy rain for much of the morning, into the afternoon as well. the wind veers from the east. with the colder air moving in from the continent, it could turn wintry. we may get some snow in the north and east. temperatures that bit colder, around four, five celsius. the further south and west of london you are, the temperature that bit milder, so falling as rain. overnight tonight any rain and any sleet or snow mixed in there will start to clear as the front finally starts to move out of the way. the sky clears. we could see mist and fog developing but also the temperature drops, down to minus one in one or two spots. with the rain today that could freeze on untreated roads and surfaces. on friday, a ridge of high pressure. mist and fog might

take its time to lift. we could see some sunny spells. quite chilly tomorrow and unsettled again into the weekend. more from me in half an hour. plenty more too on our website at the usual address and on our instagram and facebook. bye for now. good morning and welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... high street pharmacies join the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine as the uk records its highest daily death toll.

new rules requiring travellers arriving in england to have a negative coronavirus test have been delayed. donald trump becomes the first president in us history to be impeached twice. he must go. he is a clear and present danger to the nation that we a ll love. a great first morning for england in sri lanka. stuart broad takes two wickets in three balls on the opening day of the first test, at one of cricket's toughest venues. olympic gymnast max whitlock gives us some tips on how to exercise at home — and don't worry there's some easy ones. good morning. we have an amber warning in force from the met office for heavy snow today across northern england and scotland which is causing some disruption. elsewhere, a lot of rain in the forecast. i will bring you more in ten minutes.

it's thursday, january 14th. our top story. a further 1,564 people have died from coronavirus in the uk — the biggest figure reported in a single day. borisjohnson has said hospital intensive care units face being overwhelmed. it comes amid concerns about a new variant of the disease which originated in brazil ministers will discuss the threat today. jonathan blake has this report. coronavirus at its worst. i definitely thought i was going to die. staff and patients here at st mary's in charing cross hospital in london dealing with the most severe cases of covid. intensive care units like this, ministers fear, are at risk of exceeding capacity while the numbers creep ever higher. yesterday a further 47,525 new cases of coronavirus were reported. and 1,564 people are reported to have died within 28 days

of a positive covid test, the highest number since the pandemic began. the uk is largely under strict lockdown measures, but some argue tighter restrictions are needed. it is a race between the vaccine and the virus, and my strong view is that we are not doing nearly enough to slow down the virus and it's inexplicable to me why when we have a more transmissible strain during winter that we would opt for a lockdown that is less restrictive than during the first time. meanwhile, new guidance means hospital patients who have isolated for 14 days after testing positive can be discharged to care homes without a further test. and there is concern about a new variant of coronavirus detected in people who have travelled from brazil. yesterday, the prime minister was pressed

on the government's response. we are putting in extra measures to ensure that people coming from brazil are checked and indeed stopping people coming in from brazil. it's not known yet if the mutation is more severe or more transmissible than others, but ministers will decide whether to ban flights from brazil to the uk later today. jonathan blake, bbc news. let's get more now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, whojoins us from westminster. adam, there is clearly some concern in government about the new �*brazilian variant�*. tell us what we know and also what the government is saying about how they plan to act. the government is saying about how they plan to act-— they plan to act. good morning, charlie. they plan to act. good morning, charlie- all— they plan to act. good morning, charlie. all we i they plan to act. good morning, charlie. all we know i they plan to act. good morning, charlie. all we know really i they plan to act. good morning, charlie. all we know really that| they plan to act. good morning, i charlie. all we know really that has been made public as there are some mutations to lists strain and it has originated in brazil but it got

picked up by some people injapan and a lot of scientific work is being done to investigate it and see what that might mean, but as jonathan was just saying in that piece, there is no evidence yet that it is more transmissible or makes anyone more sick or that it will evade any of the vaccines that have been developed in the last few months or so. however, been developed in the last few months orso. however, government ministers will have a meeting this morning where they will look and see whether to ban flights and arrivals from brazil, as they've done with some other countries when other new variants have emerged recently although it is not clear whether the ban would applyjust to brazil or maybe to other and there is another coronavirus travel story this morning because we were all expecting that from tomorrow international arrivals into the uk including british people would have to show a negative test for coronavirus than they have had in the last 72 hours and in england that will now not come into force

until the early hours of monday morning and that has been described as a grace period to give travellers time to prepare and also to account for the fact that testing provision, internationally is a bit patchy than it was in the uk but there is scope for confusion, because we go on the scottish government website they say it's coming into force in scotland from tomorrow but if you go on the euro star website, the ones that go between france and belgium and the netherlands, they say it's coming into force from tomorrow morning. but that might be theoretical because the guidances stay at home and we are not meant to be travelling home and abroad anyway. adam, thank you. coronavirus vaccines will be available at a small number of high street pharmacies in england from today.

six chemists in halifax, macclesfield, widnes, guildford, edgware and telford are the first to offer appointments. it's part of a pilot project that will see hundreds of stores offering vaccinations in the next two weeks. the government has set itself the target of immunising 15 million people by mid—february. donald trump has become the first us president to be impeached twice. he's been charged with "incitement of insurrection" over last week's assault on congress by his supporters. our us correspondent barbara plett usher has the story. the resolution is adopted without objection and the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. so ended a week like no other in washington with the astonishing collapse of donald trump's final days in office. lawmakers returned to a capitol transformed, thousands of national guard troops there to protect them from the loyal supporters of the departing president who had stormed congress. the people's house looks like a war zone. the debate to impeach the president for inciting the violence was sharp and emotional. the president must be impeached and i believe that the president must be convicted by the senate.

a constitutional remedy that will ensure that the republic will be safe from this man who has been so resolutely determined to tear down the things that we hold dear. and that hold us together. it's not just about impeachment any more, it's about cancelling, cancelling the president and anyone that disagrees with them. but most republicans didn't defend mr trump. instead, they question the process and warned it would deepen divisions. this goes next to the senate for trial but only after the inauguration ofjoe biden when mr trump will have left office. but i cannot emphasise that there must be no violence... in a video message he still did not concede the election but with the threat of more attacks to come, he called for protesters to remain peaceful. if you do any of these things, you are not supporting our movement, you are attacking it and you are attacking our country.

it's been one week since the riots and there is one more week to go beforejoe biden is inaugurated. in the middle of this, the house says it has acted to protect democracy by impeaching mr trump, but a peaceful transfer of power still feels very fragile. train services are being cut by nearly 30 per cent in england because of the third lockdown. the industry body, the rail delivery group, say it will provide better value for money for taxpayers who are subsidising services which are carrying fewer passengers. here's sarah with a look at the weather. that is seen many of us will experience. good morning. we have wintry weather for some places through the course of the day but not everywhere will be seeing sleet and snow but the met office have issued an amber weather warning across parts of northern england and scotland which is where we see heavy

snowfall through the day which will be causing disruption. this is the area under the amber warning until ten o'clock this morning, the central highlands to northumberland and ten to 20 centimetres over the higher ground, even down at some low levels there could be a couple of centimetres of snow, mainly away from the coast and further inland is where you will see the sleet and snow. this is the recent radar that shows a mix of rain, sleet and snow out there already and we will see more of it, particularly across higher ground in scotland and into the pennines and northern england and down to the peak district as well. at low levels and further south, most of it will be falling as rain but there could be sleet in there as well. it will be turning drier from the west so for northern ireland in the south—west and england and wales, dry weather developing and temperatures around nine or 11 degrees but much colder where you have the cloud and the snow. so only about two or three across northern and eastern parts of scotland. five o'clock, most of the snow will peter out and fizzle away

but still the odd wintry flurry as we head across northern england later this afternoon and into the evening and down toward southern and south—eastern england it will mainly fall as rain, so some localised flooding problems but a bit of wintry mix mixed in as well. eventually tonight the cloud. to dissipate meaning the sleet and snow and rain will fade away, becoming dry overnight but a cold night, so expect some freezing fog patches and a sharp frost and some icy conditions as we start tomorrow. tomorrow looks like a drier but colder day. back to you both. the majority of people who've had covid—19 are protected from getting it again for at least five months — but they may still carry and transmit the virus. new research by public health england says past infection gives people more than 80

per cent immunity compared with those who have not had it. our science correspondent rebecca morelle reports. coronavirus is spreading fast and the number of people who have already had covid is rising. this latest study looked at how likely they are to catch it again. six and a half thousand health care workers who had been infected in the past were tracked and given regular tests. most were protected from the virus for at least five months. and they are now being monitored to see how long this immunity lasts. but there were a few reinfection is with 44 potential cases detected and some had high enough levels of the virus to put them at risk of spreading it to put them at risk of spreading it to others. so, the advice for now is to others. so, the advice for now is to stay at home, remembering hands, face, space, whether you have had the virus or not. let's speak to professor susan hopkins who is leading the research at public health england. good morning, professor. let's personalise this in a way. if you are someone who knows they have had

coronavirus, what is your chance of contracting it again? an contracting it again? an individual's i contracting it again? jiifi individual's chance of contracting it again is very difficult to estimate, but from what we are seeing in the study, overall the chances of getting it in the following six months is much reduced, 80% reduced, less odds of infection compared to people who haven't had it before and that equates to when we were looking at the follow—up of the individuals to two in 1000 in the group with prior antibodies had got an infection against 17 in those with no prior antibodies, which is a big difference. but it is not 100% protective and it looks like it is acting similarly to the vaccine and it may be that the vaccine will boost this immune response and allow people to have an even better immune activation in the future.—

activation in the future. professor, ou ut a activation in the future. professor, you put a timeline i activation in the future. professor, you put a timeline on i activation in the future. professor, you put a timeline on the i activation in the future. professor, you put a timeline on the level- activation in the future. professor, you put a timeline on the level of. you put a timeline on the level of protection people have over a period of months. is that simply because you simply haven't had enough time to evaluate people more than that and that is why there is a fixed time on how long you are saying you may have protection for? me time on how long you are saying you may have protection for?— time on how long you are saying you may have protection for? we can only sa there may have protection for? we can only say there is — may have protection for? we can only say there is a — may have protection for? we can only say there is a protection i may have protection for? we can only say there is a protection for i may have protection for? we can only say there is a protection for the i say there is a protection for the length of time that we can follow people up, so the majority of these people up, so the majority of these people were followed up and we know the date of their antibody—positive or prior infection episode. the majority of the health care workers, more than 6500, were antibody—positive injune, and very small numbers of them, only about a thousand, had a pcr positive, so the majority of them probably got their infection in april or may last year, and that period is the likelihood of maximal infection from the first wave, and we have followed them up until the end of november, so at that point we are able to say that

from june to november we know you were positive in this period and this is the period we followed you up. we would expect to see a continuation in the immune response because what we saw initially was people with rapid, high levels of antibodies that fell quickly and then got to a baseline and the vast majority of people have remained at the baseline level and only a very small percentage, a couple of percent, have lost their antibodies overall. ~ ., ., percent, have lost their antibodies overall. ~ . ., percent, have lost their antibodies overall. . ., ., percent, have lost their antibodies overall. ~ . ., ., ., overall. what have you learned about whether people _ overall. what have you learned about whether people can i overall. what have you learned about whether people can still— overall. what have you learned about whether people can still pass i overall. what have you learned about whether people can still pass on i whether people can still pass on coronavirus, even if they have previously had coronavirus? in this stud , we previously had coronavirus? in this study. we are _ previously had coronavirus? in this study, we are not i previously had coronavirus? in this study, we are not following i previously had coronavirus? in this study, we are not following and i study, we are not following and looking to see whether the individual is transmitted to others and with only 44 reinfection is, we really don't have enough people to give you an accurate assessment on transmission but what we know from those 44 is that a number of them had very high levels of virus, which equates to pcr values which you can

count on viral loads above a million genomes per mil and we know that they were able to grow the virus, which is quite difficult and when you normally grow the virus you are sure that that person will transmit live virus to somebody else and that means that there are people who have had infection who can transmit to others and it's not 100% protective so we are still asking people why we are seeing such a high amount of infection when we need to do everything to protect the nhs. some ofthe everything to protect the nhs. some of the information i everything to protect the nhs. some of the information you i everything to protect the nhs. some of the information you are i everything to protect the nhs. some of the information you are putting out according to your study means that it gives you freedom to do things they wouldn't otherwise do but that is not the case. we things they wouldn't otherwise do but that is not the case.— things they wouldn't otherwise do but that is not the case. we are not recommending _ but that is not the case. we are not recommending that i but that is not the case. we are not recommending that at the i but that is not the case. we are not recommending that at the moment | but that is not the case. we are not i recommending that at the moment in the exact same way we are not recommending people for the vaccine and it looks like it has a similar protection to the vaccine, which is good news, but it's not 100% and it is definitely not time for people to take any chances whether that be

increased transmission to others or having transmitted to them. can you talk to me about i having transmitted to them. can you talk to me about your i having transmitted to them. can you talk to me about your concerns i having transmitted to them. can you | talk to me about your concerns about the new variants called the brazil variant. how concerned is public health england about that. we look at the variants i health england about that. we look at the variants emerging i health england about that. we look at the variants emerging across i health england about that. we look at the variants emerging across the | at the variants emerging across the world and the new variant emerging in brazil has a combination of mutations that we are looking at closely and we don't yet see the virus studies from that, and there has been some studies done in the us, but we have not yet grown the virus in the uk, so we would want to be able to do that so we can perform experiments in the laboratory in a similar way as we are performing for the variant that first arose in the uk, was first identified in the uk and although the variant from south africa, so we need to understand the biology of these as well as understanding the mutations and we will be watching them all to make sure that they cannot escape your

immune response, which is the key thing we are looking up at the moment. . ., thing we are looking up at the moment. , ., «i ., moment. given what we know previously _ moment. given what we know previously about i moment. given what we know previously about how i moment. given what we know previously about how a i moment. given what we know previously about how a speed| moment. given what we know l previously about how a speed of action is so crucial in stopping the spread, in this case, i have a potentially variant, what action do you think the government should be taking now and i appreciate you are a scientist, but what does the science talus and what would keep this country from the potential of the brazil variant spreading here further? i the brazil variant spreading here further? .. the brazil variant spreading here further? «i ., further? i think government will make decisions i further? i think government will make decisions about i further? i think government will make decisions about what i further? i think government will make decisions about what the l make decisions about what the actions that they will take on travel, that is their decision, and from our point of view the actions we always want to take is to get people to come forward immediately if they have any symptoms and get tested, isolate, identify contacts when you are asked to, because those are the people that are most likely to be transmitted to and if you travel abroad, you should be isolating after you have travelled for ten days or doing the test of

five days and release as the government asked and both of those ways help reduce transmission of viruses in the uk, and as always, what we are asking people to do is to follow the rules, because that's the most important thing that will reduce transmission. just the most important thing that will reduce transmission.— the most important thing that will reduce transmission. just one last ruestion reduce transmission. just one last question and _ reduce transmission. just one last question and people i reduce transmission. just one last question and people will i reduce transmission. just one last question and people will have i reduce transmission. just one last| question and people will have seen those figures from yesterday, a further 1564 people died in the uk within 28 days of a positive covid test. is it public health england's assumption that that figure will rise over the coming days. people are well aware of the lag between the infection rate at its peak and how it transmits into the death race, so what is the expectation? irate race, so what is the expectation? we have race, so what is the expectation? 2 have already said that what we see is that at one or two weeks after the infection is a rise in the community we see hospital admissions rise and then we see deaths rise and

it is pretty clear, the consequences of this infection so we would expect to see a rise in deaths in the coming couple of weeks and there is a peak in cases that have happened at the end of december and beginning ofjanuary, so we have at the end of december and beginning of january, so we have some at the end of december and beginning ofjanuary, so we have some time to 90. ofjanuary, so we have some time to go, so sadly we will. do ofjanuary, so we have some time to go, so sadly we will.— go, so sadly we will. do you look at actual numbers. i go, so sadly we will. do you look at actual numbers. do i go, so sadly we will. do you look at actual numbers. do you i go, so sadly we will. do you look at actual numbers. do you predict i actual numbers. do you predict numbers? i actual numbers. do you predict numbers?— actual numbers. do you predict numbers? ., �* «i h numbers? i don't think it's right for me to _ numbers? i don't think it's right for me to predict i numbers? i don't think it's right for me to predict numbers. i numbers? i don't think it's right l for me to predict numbers. there numbers? i don't think it's right i for me to predict numbers. there are modelling estimates but they are a broadbrush and what we know is that you can look at the number of cases we have seen in the community and we can estimate the number of those that were going to hospital while hospital care has massively improved and we have new drugs and we are improving the care of treatment in hospital, but sadly there is a proportion of people, especially the over 805, who will die and the best

way we can protect these people right now is to get them vaccinated and the vaccination programme at the nhs is running will be the best way to protect the over 805. nhs is running will be the best way to protect the over 80s.— to protect the over 80s. professor hokins, to protect the over 80s. professor hopkins. thank— to protect the over 80s. professor hopkins, thank you i to protect the over 80s. professor hopkins, thank you for i to protect the over 80s. professor hopkins, thank you for your i to protect the over 80s. professor hopkins, thank you for your time | hopkin5, thank you for your time this morning, from public health england. we can talk to a regular guest of ours, chris smith, the virologist, a sobering thought there listening to susan hopkins that that they are expecting the numbers of deaths in coming weeks to rise and we have had that number of 1564, the highest so far, so when you hear the study, the latest study now and we understand that you might have five months community i think one of the more stark points is that anyone who had it in the first wave before, i am fine, at least i'm all right because i've had it and i've got antibodies, that is not the case. we can learn antibodies, that is not the case. 2 can learn a lot by looking at

relatives of this new coronavirus, because humans do get other coronavirus infections. there are four common coronaviruses that have been circulating for donkeys years that because a handful of coughs and colds in wintertime and are very similar to this new coronavirus and if we look at how the immune system reacts and responds to those, albeit that they are less dramatic in terms of the infections they cause, we can make some kind of prediction about what is likely to happen with this new coronavirus and then we can see if the predictions are borne out by observational studies like this new siren study which adds a valuable piece to the puzzle of the understanding. the previous analysis of this coronavirus shows they do not produce long—term immunity on the whole and if you follow patients “p the whole and if you follow patients up who have had the infections, within a year or so there often immune response has declined which is why they keep coming back and returning and infecting you, not because the virus has changed, which is the strategy used like the flu

virus but because your immunity has changed, so this set of findings that susan hopkins was talking about directly lines up with the expectation based on what we know about other members of the virus family. so, yes, it is a sobering thought but it is not totally unexpected that with time immunity will dwindle and therefore there will dwindle and therefore there will be some people who, having caught the virus at the outset of all of this, might now be becoming vulnerable again and therefore they should be careful. it vulnerable again and therefore they should be careful.— should be careful. it kinds of leads into a question i should be careful. it kinds of leads into a question that i should be careful. it kinds of leads into a question that has i should be careful. it kinds of leads into a question that has come i should be careful. it kinds of leads into a question that has come in i should be careful. it kinds of leads| into a question that has come in on twitter to the programme. is a healthy person without as someone who is the vaccine can still spread the virus and cannot see my family orfriends, so the virus and cannot see my family or friends, so what is the point? the virus and cannot see my family orfriends, so what is the point? ihs, or friends, so what is the point? couple of things to bear in mind. number one is that we don't yet know to what extent people who have been vaccinated can still succumb to the infection and spread it. it might be

that it's a small number of people, but a smaller number of people than if we were to just allow people to catch the infection naturally and then potentially get reinfected. we are going to learn that pretty quickly because there are more than 2.5 million people who have been vaccinated and it's running at hundreds of thousands of people per day who are getting vaccinated now, so as a result we will learn that pretty fast, but the bottom line is that at the moment, if you have a vaccine and you catch the infection, you are much less likely to be come severely unwell so one benefit of vaccination for those particularly vulnerable is that we know we will directly save lives, and as the number of immune people in the population rises, which it inexorably well as we vaccinate more people, the amount of virus that can circulate will drop because there will be fewer and fewer people left behind in whom the virus can set up an infection that is capable of

transmitting to others, so there are two things that will be achieved here. in the short term, saving lives by protecting people with the vaccine and in the long term saving the headache for all of us because we will suppress the suppression and the transmission of the virus through the population, therefore the incidence will fall and it will also fall because the weather will improve, thank goodness, as it did last summer and hopefully by the end of summer we will have very low levels of virus in society and we will be back to something resembling where we were last summer with more normality again, thank goodness. chris, always good to talk to you. and we will speak to you soon. the scottish government has tightened its lockdown restrictions after fears the nhs could be �*overwhelmed.’ the changes, which come into effect from saturday, include a ban on outdoor drinking, customers can no longer collect takeaways from inside restaurants and only shops selling essential items can offer click and collect services. joining us now is deputy first minister for scotland, john swinney.

thank you for your time this morning. ijust wonder if thank you for your time this morning. i just wonder if you thank you for your time this morning. ijust wonder if you could take us through the new measures, the tightened measures you are bringing in. the tightened measures you are bringing in-_ the tightened measures you are bringing in— the tightened measures you are brinuain in. ~ . �* . ., bringing in. what we've decided to do is take some i bringing in. what we've decided to do is take some further i bringing in. what we've decided to do is take some further steps i bringing in. what we've decided to do is take some further steps to i do is take some further steps to tighten the restrictions to remove some opportunities for people to gather. as you have commented already, it will not be possible to buy alcohol and to consume it in public places. take a ways will have to be purchased essentially from the door or a hatch of the store rather than going into a shop to minimise transmission opportunities and we are strengthening the requirements about staying at home, so instead of people thinking, if i leave the house to do shopping i can do something else, but the rules are quite clear and they say you can only leave your house for essential purposes and if that involves shopping, you go and then come home and it also strengthens the

requirements on businesses to cooperate with this in relation to enabling workers to work from home so we can minimise the amount of movement within our society. some eo - le will movement within our society. some people will conclude i movement within our society. some people will conclude that i movement within our society. some people will conclude that what i movement within our society. some people will conclude that what this demonstrates is that you got your initial decision—making about the restrictions wrong. ibs, initial decision-making about the restrictions wrong.— restrictions wrong. a week last monday we _ restrictions wrong. a week last monday we didn't i restrictions wrong. a week last monday we didn't have i restrictions wrong. a week last monday we didn't have a i restrictions wrong. a week last| monday we didn't have a debate restrictions wrong. a week last i monday we didn't have a debate about whether we had gone too far or whether we had gone too far or whether we had gone too far or whether we had gone far enough and we were quite open about that last week and we can see quite clearly that covert infections is strong in scotland. they are not as strong as in other parts of the uk and we are talking about prospects for the nhs and we need to go a stage further which is what we announced to parliament yesterday and what will come into effect at the weekend and it's all about taking appropriate measures to reduce the level of human interaction in our society which of course we all know is the way the virus spreads. fire

the very strong guidance about making sure that the routine, habitual things we should be doing that professor hopkins was talking about a few moments ago to try to stop the spread of the virus, if we all do those things, we can avoid more stringent restrictions. ibs, lat more stringent restrictions. a lot of --eole more stringent restrictions. a lot of people immediately i more stringent restrictions. a lot of people immediately asked the question, what you are requiring of the public, and if more businesses struggle more because of this necessarily if there are changes to how they operate, what more support will come alongside the announcement you are making?— you are making? we've got a whole rane you are making? we've got a whole ranae of you are making? we've got a whole range of different i you are making? we've got a whole range of different financial i range of different financial supports in place for individual businesses that are required to close or are significant disrupted as a consequence of covid on those various grant schemes are all paying out money in the way we would anticipate and we have some new funding streams coming along to support particular sectors and details will be announced on those shortly, so there is an active support programme in place to help businesses through these difficult

times and of course it is a balance between the amount of activity that businesses can operate, can continue to deliver, and the amount of financial support that we can put in place and we are trying to keep those two elements in close harmony to make sure that businesses are able to navigate their way through what we acknowledge is a difficult time for many organisations in scotland. ., . time for many organisations in scotland. ., , ., ., , ., scotland. one last thought. can you clarify something — scotland. one last thought. can you clarify something else? i scotland. one last thought. can you clarify something else? the i scotland. one last thought. can you clarify something else? the travel. clarify something else? the travel restrictions, people having tests before they come into the uk, england, for example, have been delayed until monday, i think. england, for example, have been delayed until monday, ithink. is that corresponding across the whole of the uk? what is the scottish position? of the uk? what is the scottish osition? ., ., ., position? the position in scotland as the restrictions i position? the position in scotland as the restrictions are i position? the position in scotland as the restrictions are in i position? the position in scotland as the restrictions are in place i position? the position in scotland| as the restrictions are in place and we want to see people following those restrictions to make sure that we minimise the risk. 50 those restrictions to make sure that we minimise the risk.— those restrictions to make sure that we minimise the risk. so you have to have a test — we minimise the risk. so you have to have a test before i we minimise the risk. so you have to have a test before you i we minimise the risk. so you have to have a test before you travel i we minimise the risk. so you have to have a test before you travel to i have a test before you travel to scotland? and now?— have a test before you travel to scotland? and now? yes, that's correct. thank i

through to check out... london's hospitality and tourism bosses are calling on the government to extend the reduced rate of 5% vat beyond the end of march. the industry generates more than £16 billion to the capital's economy every year. but the tourism alliance and uk hospitality say, without extra support, more businesses and jobs could be at risk. last week, the government promised one—off grants to hospitality businesses affected by the pandemic. this year's london to brighton bike ride has already been cancelled. it was due to be held in september but the organisers say they're taking the decision now rather than risk calling it off at the last minute. the british heart foundation which runs the event says it'll be back, bigger and better, in 2022. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the district line has minor delays between upminster. and ealing broadway and richmond and the metropolitan line also has minor delays.

because the rotherhithe tunnel is closed for repairs, it's still busy on the highway through wapping towards tower hill. heavy rain overnight has meant some flooding. the anti clockwise entry slip on the m25 intojunction 22 for st albans is closed from the roundabout. and the a41 hendon way is partly blocked northbound towards the north circular at the brent cross flyover. time for the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very wet start out there this morning and it looks like we will hang onto this rain for much of the day. the front that has brought it is stalling — it's not moving anywhere very quickly. heavy rain for much of the morning, into the afternoon as well. the wind veers from the east. with the colder air moving in from the continent, it could turn wintry. we may get some snow in the north and east. temperatures that bit colder, around four, five celsius. the further south and west of london you are, the temperature that bit milder, so falling as rain. overnight tonight any rain and any sleet or snow mixed in there will start to clear as the front finally starts to move out of the way.

the sky clears. we could see mist and fog developing but also the temperature drops, down to minus one in one or two spots. with the rain today that could freeze on untreated roads and surfaces. on friday, a ridge of high pressure. mist and fog might take its time to lift. we could see some sunny spells. quite chilly tomorrow and unsettled again into the weekend. more from me in an hour. now it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. a further 1,564 people have died from coronavirus in the uk — the biggest figure reported in a single day. borisjohnson has said hospital intensive care units face being overwhelmed. it comes amid concerns about a new variant of the disease which originated in brazil — ministers will discuss the threat today.

coronavirus vaccines will be available at a small number of high street pharmacies in england from today. six chemists in halifax, macclesfield, widnes, guildford, edgware and telford are the first to offer appointments. it's part of a pilot project that will see hundreds of stores offering vaccinations in the next two weeks. the government has set itself the target of immunising 15 million people by mid—february. new rules requiring travellers arriving in england to present proof of a negative coronavirus test result, have been delayed. the restrictions, which apply to passengers arriving by boat, train or plane — were due to come into force tomorrow morning but have been pushed back to monday. transport secretary grant shapps says the delay will give international arrivals time to prepare. people who've had covid—19 are protected from getting it again for at least five months, that's according to new research by public health england.

the study says past infection gives people 83% immunity compared with those who have not had coronavirus, however, those with immunity may still be able carry the virus and transmit it to others. donald trump has become the first president in us history to be impeached twice. the vote, in the house of representatives, follows last week's deadly assault by his supporters on the capitol. ten republicans voted against the president, with the final result being 232 votes to impeach, and 197 against. we are going to be talking to safeguarding minister victoria atkins shortly. there is something called pandemic bottom. we spend so much time sitting down that some areas are less toned, shall we say

than others? if anyone is going to tell us what to do it is matt whitlock. do not try this at home. he has been in some bizarre positions on the breakfast sofa. we will be talking to him later. the weather coming up shortly. one in five offences recorded by police during the first national lockdown in england and wales involved domestic abuse. a new scheme announced today aims to help victims let's get some more detail from safeguarding minister victoria atkins. how will it work? one way in which abuses seek to i how will it work? one way in which abuses seek to abuse i i how will it work? one way in which abuses seek to abuse victims i i how will it work? one way in which abuses seek to abuse victims is i abuses seek to abuse victims is through control. typically on lockdown restrictions, it can be

very difficult for victims to seek help. this scheme we are announcing today and have launched today is another way for victims to seek help. they can already access helplines and web—based services. this is another way they can seek help. someone can walk into a boots chemist or 247 independent pharmacies who are currently signed up. we would love more tojoin. they walk into the pharmacy, they use a code word, they are taken into a side room because the pharmacist will be fully trained in what to do and the victim is asked what they will like to happen. they may ask for a 999 call. it is about getting another avenue of support for victims who can often find it so difficult to seek help from perpetrators.— difficult to seek help from --eretrators. .,, ., «i .,

their the government website. iiiiuiith their the government website. with their the government website. with the money you _ their the government website. with the money you gave, just considering the money you gave, just considering the numbers, we all know and have reported and it is a very worrying statistic, that domestic violence has increased during lockdown because of more pressure that is on families, that families are experiencing. injune calls and contacts were nearly 80% higher according to the charity, refuge. thinking of the many you gave, does that match the increase into reports of domestic abuse? in that match the increase into reports of domestic abuse?— that match the increase into reports of domestic abuse? in november we announced another i of domestic abuse? in november we announced another £11 i of domestic abuse? in november we announced another £11 million i announced another £11 million precisely because we were listening to charities and their concerns. is that enough? in the months before the end of the financial year. that is to take us through to march. this is to take us through to march. this is causing problems with additional

pots of funding. i am working very closely the charities, as you can imagine. goodness me, you can always spend... that is always a factor but i think we are really good place at the moment in terms of dealing with this horrendous crime and ensuring there are sources for victims. in addition, we are spending £7.1 million of perpetrator programmes. not only do we want to support victims, we also want to stop the cycle of abuse that so many perpetrators display. this work will be absolutely critical in the years ahead facing us in terms of drawing down these figures of abuse. we know domestic abuse affects up to 2.3 million adults and of course children living within abusive households. this is the highest harm, highest volume crime we have

to deal with and i think we want to show through funding decisions and the domestic abuse bell and non—legislative measures we will be taking... 2s. non-legislative measures we will be takini... �* , non-legislative measures we will be takini... . , ., non-legislative measures we will be takini... �* , ., ., , taking... a couple of other things to talk about. i taking... a couple of other things to talk about. can i taking... a couple of other things to talk about. can we i taking... a couple of other things to talk about. can we also i taking... a couple of other things to talk about. can we also talk i to talk about. can we also talk about the bail reforms which are being scrapped? still suspects of serious and violent crime is being released without restrictions. that is a reversal of what was decided four years ago. how do you feel? the chances four years ago. how do you feel? ti2 changes originate where to try to deal with those cases, whereby people were stuck on police bail for months and sometimes even years, awaiting investigation, completion of investigation to find out whether they were going to be charged or

not. i do welcome these changes. we have had enough time to see how the original changes have been bedded in. it is right looking at the evidence to make the changes in relation to violent and sexual offences, to ensure the police are confident in using bail before charge on suspects they are investigating. bail in the criminal courts is as it was before but this is about that period of time where people are under investigation and so i do welcome these changes. can ou talk so i do welcome these changes. can you talk to — so i do welcome these changes. can you talk to me about the latest numbers we are seeing? we have seen the largest amount of coronavirus deaths, 1564. we spoke to someone from public health england the estimate is the number of people going into hospital will still rise

and one or two weeks later we will see even higher death rates in the coming weeks. this number today will not be the lowest number, at all. are we at the point where the government needs to tighten restrictions further? bearing in mind of course we were talking to scottish ministerjohn swinney, and they have already been tightened in scotland, in reaction to these numbers. scotland, in reaction to these numbers-— scotland, in reaction to these numbers. ~ «i , , , ., numbers. we keep this under constant review. we numbers. we keep this under constant review- we keep _ numbers. we keep this under constant review. we keep coming i numbers. we keep this under constant review. we keep coming back i numbers. we keep this under constant review. we keep coming back to i numbers. we keep this under constant review. we keep coming back to the i review. we keep coming back to the point it is incredibly serious, as you have outlined. we know hospitals in particular are very, very overstretched at the moment. this is where all of us, and the vast majority is doing this, is to stick to the rules. also the lockdown restrictions. please do not leave your house unless it is essential.

are. we have listened to that that regulations come into force on friday. the message is, get the test if you are returning home. if you are positive, you will not be allowed on a flight. everyone flying into the uk must abide by the rules. said thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, there are four days where people can come in know they will not be fined and had to provide a test and yet the government says it is very worried about the brazilian variant of covid spreading and death rates are rising. the variant of covid spreading and death rates are rising.— rates are rising. the regulations are for all— rates are rising. the regulations are for all international i rates are rising. the regulations are for all international travel. l are for all international travel. the prime minister said steps are being looked at in relation to the brazilian variant. i am not going to speculate. we know when we have acted decisively in the past, we have had particular measures relating to the denmark strain or

the south africa strain. i must not speculate, i am the south africa strain. i must not speculate, iam not the south africa strain. i must not speculate, i am not in those discussions. we are watching this very carefully. again we are very grateful to our scientists, who do such an extraordinaryjob in helping us get this data and evidence so we can create measures to meet it. thank you for your time with us. here's sarah with a look at the weather. she has a picture of the snow once again. it she has a picture of the snow once aiain_ , she has a picture of the snow once aain. , , , i again. it looks very pretty. a winter wonderland i again. it looks very pretty. a winter wonderland for i again. it looks very pretty. a winter wonderland for some | again. it looks very pretty. a l winter wonderland for some of again. it looks very pretty. a i winter wonderland for some of us that there is some heavy snow for causing disruption in parts of the north of england and scotland. plenty of people waking up to scenes like this, this is newton lands in strathclyde. we will see more snow before the day is out. there is an amber weather warning in force

keep you moving, keep you flexible and mobile during this time. some of these are a bit like elastics but some are really easy. i am going to do bottom shuffles across the floor. i had tried to make these fun with different people. switch it up every now and again it will stretch the whole backs of your legs really well. the second one is if you pop up well. the second one is if you pop up into front support position like this. if you can, you might have to go this. if you can, you might have to 9° up this. if you can, you might have to go up on your fingers. this. if you can, you might have to go up on yourfingers. squat this. if you can, you might have to go up on your fingers. squat through and round and really push back and start relaxing stop and then back three. this will target your legs as well. a lot of people at the moment are making the most of going for more walks, more cycling. i am doing that as well. to stretch out in this

kind of way will help to keep you mobile with slight movement but also get really good stretches in the legs. another one is jam—packed back to here. this is like the volt in gymnastics. you want to bejumping your feet as close as you can and try to really relax as close as you can. if your legs are higher up, it is not a problem. try and relax as much as you can and jump back out. can i ask one thing? our time is a bit limited. that is great. people will be able to do a few of those. we do not get to talk to olympic gymnast every day. can you show us and move that only you can do? is there something you can just demonstrate for us just for a moment? flit demonstrate for us 'ust for a momentafi demonstrate for us 'ust for a moment? _, , .. , demonstrate for us 'ust for a moment? , , moment? of course i can. i 'ust hope i do not sup. —

hospitalisations is still going up and that is because there is a lag between the number of cases and the number of deaths, as susan hopkins was telling us a little while ago. what we see is that one or two weeks after the _ what we see is that one or two weeks after the infection is a rise in the community. _ after the infection is a rise in the community, we see hospital admissions rise, and one or two weeks _ admissions rise, and one or two weeks later— admissions rise, and one or two weeks later we see deaths rise. it is pretty— weeks later we see deaths rise. it is pretty clear the consequences of this infection, so we would expect to see _ this infection, so we would expect to see rises — this infection, so we would expect to see rises in deaths in the coming couple _ to see rises in deaths in the coming couple of— to see rises in deaths in the coming couple of weeks as the peak in cases really— couple of weeks as the peak in cases really happens at the end of december and beginning ofjanuary so we have _ december and beginning ofjanuary so we have some time to go. so in december and beginning ofjanuary so we have some time to go.— we have some time to go. so in other words, we have some time to go. so in other words. the — we have some time to go. so in other words, the lockdown i we have some time to go. so in other words, the lockdown does i we have some time to go. so in other words, the lockdown does appear i we have some time to go. so in other words, the lockdown does appear to i words, the lockdown does appear to be working, tentative signs of that, but it doesn't mean that the pressure is off the nhs or that the bad or sad news will not keep coming. patrick vallance, the chief scientific adviser who advises ministers on all of the science and

the data says there is the potential that tougher measures might be neededin that tougher measures might be needed in the next few weeks, but just the potential.— needed in the next few weeks, but just the potential. we've also been discussing with i just the potential. we've also been discussing with the i just the potential. we've also been discussing with the safeguarding i discussing with the safeguarding minister about how the government is looking at the brazilian variant on the travel restrictions that are coming in. the travel restrictions that are coming in-_ the travel restrictions that are comin in. , ., coming in. there will be a meeting of senior ministers i coming in. there will be a meeting of senior ministers where i coming in. there will be a meeting of senior ministers where they i coming in. there will be a meeting of senior ministers where they willj of senior ministers where they will look at what to do with the brazilian variant and what it means for travel. brazilian variant and what it means fortravel. it's brazilian variant and what it means for travel. it's not clear whether there will be a a ban on flights from brazil or a ban on flights from south america and we will have to wait for a ministerial decision on that. there was another coronavirus story today as we all expected the new rules to coming to england where you needed to have a negative test for 72 hours before you arrive back in the uk if you are travelling from abroad. that is going to go ahead as planned tomorrow in scotland and if you go on the eurostar website for the train services between the uk on the train services between the uk on the continent, they think that is

coming on across uk tomorrow as well, but the department for transport say there will be a grace period and it will not apply in england untilfour period and it will not apply in england until four o'clock in the morning on monday. they say that is not to delay, it is to give passengers time to get used to the new system and just the fact that the availability of coronavirus testing abroad is not quite as good as it is here in the uk, but remember, the rules are, we are meant to be staying at home so maybe thatis meant to be staying at home so maybe that is a more theoretical thing rather than a thing that will apply to loads of travellers. ok. rather than a thing that will apply to loads of travellers. ok, adam, alwa s to loads of travellers. ok, adam, always good _ to loads of travellers. ok, adam, always good to — to loads of travellers. ok, adam, always good to talk i to loads of travellers. ok, adam, always good to talk to i to loads of travellers. ok, adam, always good to talk to you. i people who've had covid—19 are protected from getting it again for at least five months, that's according to new research by public health england. the study says past infection gives people 83 per cent immunity compared with those who have not had coronavirus, however, those with immunity may still be able carry the virus and transmit it to others. donald trump has become the first us president to be impeached twice.

he's been charged with "incitement of insurrection" over last week's assault on congress by his supporters. our us correspondent barbara plett usher has the story. the resolution is adopted without objection and the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. so ended a week like no other in washington with the astonishing collapse of donald trump's final days in office. lawmakers returned to a capitol transformed, thousands of national guard troops there to protect them from the loyal supporters of the departing president who had stormed congress. the people's house looks like a war zone. the debate to impeach the president for inciting the violence was sharp and emotional. the president must be impeached and i believe that the president must be convicted by the senate. a constitutional remedy that will ensure that the republic will be safe from this man who has been so resolutely determined to tear down the things that we hold dear. and that hold us together.

it's not just about impeachment any more, it's about cancelling, cancelling the president and anyone that disagrees with them. but most republicans didn't defend mr trump. instead, they question the process and warned it would deepen divisions. an dten voted for impeachment, a stark difference from first time round one year ago. this goes next to the senate for trial but only after the inauguration ofjoe biden when mr trump will have left office. but i cannot emphasise that there must be no violence... in a video message he still did not concede the election but with the threat of more attacks to come, he called for protesters to remain peaceful. if you do any of these things, you are not supporting our movement, you are attacking it and you are attacking our country. it's been one week since the riots and there is one more week to go beforejoe biden is inaugurated.

in the middle of this, the house says it has acted to protect democracy by impeaching mr trump, but a peaceful transfer of power still feels very fragile. from today victims of domestic abuse will be able to use a code word to get help at thousands of pharmacies across the uk. anyone who asks a member of staff for "ani" will be taken to a safe space to contact support services. one in five offences recorded by police during the first national lockdown in england and wales involved domestic abuse according to figures from the office for national statistics. train services are being cut by nearly 30 per cent in england because of the third lockdown. the industry body, the rail delivery group, say it will provide better value for money for taxpayers who are subsidising services which are carrying fewer passengers. there is snow in the forecast and sarah has all of it, and that amber sign is a weather warning.

that's right. we have an amber warning in force from the met office for heavy snow. we won't all see it, but it's particularly affecting parts of scotland and northern england as well, mainly over the higher ground, maybe ten or 20 centimetres of snow falling over the hills, but even at lower levels we see several centimetres of snow accumulating on the amber warning is in force until ten o'clock today but we might cells —— might well see snow lingering in places all day. we have had a slow moving front in the last 24 hours which is dividing the cold air in the north and east from much milder air moving in from the south—west, so the snowfall will be particularly heavy of the day and into the north—east of england and at lower levels, down to the south—east, that will be falling as rain, but there could be snow developing in the east midlands and later in the afternoon. some dry and mild weather working in from the west, so temperatures for the likes

of belfast and cardiff at around eight or 10 degrees but towards the north—east where you have the clout and snow, only two or three degrees today. snowfall starts to peter out as we move through the latter part of the afternoon into the evening and things become largely dry through the course of the night but there will be a lot of puddles around on the road and some ice developing as well as temperatures overnight for many of us dip down a bit below freezing. friday morning starts on the cold, frosty note and the area of high pressure takes hold of the weather through tomorrow so most of the rainfall were clear away but there will be frost and freezing fog patches that could linger all day for one or two spots. a bit more brightness by the afternoon and some sunshine coming through but a cold feeling day the temperature still below average, about two to 7 degrees on friday. do take care as there is icy and wintry weather, especially in the north today.

vaccine —— pharmacies will be adding vaccines in the next few weeks. the government is aiming to protect tens of millions of people in months, so how have things gone so far? in the last 24 hours just over 200—thousand people were given their first injection. in total more than 2.6 million people have received their first dose of the vaccine in the uk. the government hopes to vaccinate two million people per week by the end of january. to ensure that target is reached more than 2,500 vaccine sites will be set up by spring. that will include around 200 community pharmacies which will start to offer the vaccine over the next two weeks. graham satchell is at one of the first pharmacies to offer the vaccine. it has to be said, that this is an important step. the pharmacies you are out this morning, this is a big

of you. thousands of laptops and tablets have been donated to help get children, who are learning from home, online. fiona lamdin has been to meet some of the people donating them and catch up with families who have been helped. what did you say? your laptop is here, if you'd like to come and grab it. oh, my goodness. this was the moment when edwina and herfamily received a laptop, on loan from their school. that was a week ago. thank you very much. thank you. it's been kind of a heavy weight lifted off. no—one was shouting, "mummy, can i use your phone? mummy, this." no. each person has got a slot on the laptop. as a result of the bbc make a difference campaign, we have been overwhelmed by your generosity. in seven days, we have had over 5,000 devices donated. and the bbc has just learned that 20,000 extra devices

are coming in the next few weeks from businesses. one of those who donated was marilyn. i heard the appeal on the bbc. we had two laptops upstairs, doing nothing for a couple of years. so i just wanted to find out and help and give. my husband passed away from covid four weeks ago. he was so generous, so generous and kind. he would have done it himself. he would be really proud of me, i'm sure. yeah. proud. marilyn hasn't been able to hold her husband's funeral yet but she's so determined to help, she's already taken their laptops to the local school. if people don't have the technological know—how to erase the data, then they can be reassured if they pass the laptop onto us we will make sure it is completely clean of anything that is left on there before we pass it on to a family.

on the other side of the city, we meet the adam family. these ten—year—old identical twins have been relying on paper hand—outs from their school. we have 400 children at school, all trying to access home learning. we have around 70 families who need a laptop in order to access that home learning, so demand is great. earlier this week, the government promised another 300,000 devices to disadvantaged children learning at home. taking the total to 1.3 million. now we have this, we'll be able to join in on the live lessons. i want to be a doctor and so i have to work really hard and focus more on my work. so having these laptops really helps my education. i would just like to say thank you for this donation because it is a life—changer and it is also a life—saver. fiona lamdin, bbc news.

let's speak now to matt hood who is the principal of oak national academy which was set up by teachers in lockdown to provide thousands of online lessons and resources. the first thing i want to say is, there are so many things to celebrate in that piece. marilyn, who sadly has lost her husband, donating to laptops that were sitting there and said she would donate them in those two young girls who, their delight in getting the laptop, you know what i'm going to do, i'm going to be a doctor. that is something _ do, i'm going to be a doctor. that is something to i do, i'm going to be a doctor. tisgt is something to celebrate. it really is, and what we see, particularly over the past week because of campaigns like this one from the bbc and another campaign we have been rubbing here at the academy about getting data to pupils —— running here, has been more of the pupils accessing the remote lessons during this period where a significant number of them are not at school. tell us what you are doing. we were

set u- b tell us what you are doing. we were set up by teachers i tell us what you are doing. we were set up by teachers at i tell us what you are doing. we were set up by teachers at the i tell us what you are doing. we were set up by teachers at the very i tell us what you are doing. we were set up by teachers at the very start i set up by teachers at the very start of the first lockdown and were then backed by government and we now have about 10,000 lessons, and any parent, any teacher or pupil can access those for free and all they need to do is go to the website, the national academy website, and between four or 16 years old, where they want to study maths, history, geography, art, they are all available there, but as the campaign highlighted, two things are important. first, they need a device and this bbc campaign on the laptops the government have been dishing out to pupils is really something worth celebrating, as well as getting data to those pupils, the big telecommunications companies last week agreed to work with us to work sure no pupils were charged for data when they were using academy lessons. �* . . ., , when they were using academy lessons. �*, . ., , ., when they were using academy lessons. �*, . . , ., . lessons. it's clearly an excellent thin ou lessons. it's clearly an excellent thing you are — lessons. it's clearly an excellent thing you are doing i lessons. it's clearly an excellent thing you are doing and i'm i lessons. it's clearly an excellent thing you are doing and i'm just| thing you are doing and i'm just

wondering, are you still hearing stories about youngsters who do not have what they need in order to access a device or a connection? yes, there is definitely still more to do here and last week alone we had 3.5 million pupils taking part in lessons at oak national academy and since we opened our doors, pupils have completed over 45 million lessons and locks of those pupils are still accessing from a mobile device and ofcom estimates about1 million pupils are doing that and one in five families are struggling to pay for the cost of that data and about one in 20 are cutting back on things like food and clothes to do it, so we should definitely celebrate all of the work going on to address that problem, both from organisations like yourself and from the telecommunications companies but there is more to do and we must not take our eye off the ball. education should be free for everybody and it is in normal times when pupils are in school, but it needs to be free

for everybody and accessible for everybody whilst a significant number of pupils are at home at the moment. about 30% we think are still in school and there are a large number of home and we have to make sure that they keep learning. it is worth celebrating, the numbers who have accessed what you are doing there and what schools are doing themselves, the lessons they are doing online but there is a real fear that there is a group of young people possibly from deprived backgrounds who are still falling through the net. you are talking about the ones who, even on mobile devices, have been able to access. do you fear there is a significant group who arejust do you fear there is a significant group who are just not getting even that? group who are 'ust not getting even that? ~ ., «i ., , ., ., that? what we know is that education really matters — that? what we know is that education really matters for i that? what we know is that education really matters for a i that? what we know is that education really matters for a young i that? what we know is that education really matters for a young person's i really matters for a young person's life chances. people who have higher levels of education live longer, they are generally happier, they earn more over their lifetime and thatis earn more over their lifetime and that is as true when they are at home is at school. what is happening up home is at school. what is happening up and down the country is school leaders and teachers know who the pupils are and doing an incredible

amount of work to support them and what they need is the whole system to rally round whether that is getting devices or getting them data or supporting them like we are with resources for remote lessons and if we all keep working together on this problem, though schools are in a really, really good position to make sure every pupil, regardless of background, can continue to get a good quality education. {line background, can continue to get a good quality education.— good quality education. one word answer, favourite i good quality education. one word answer, favourite subject i good quality education. one word answer, favourite subject at i good quality education. one word. answer, favourite subject at school when you were at school? i am answer, favourite subject at school when you were at school?- when you were at school? i am an economics — when you were at school? i am an economics teacher i when you were at school? i am an economics teacher by i when you were at school? i am an economics teacher by training, i when you were at school? i am an economics teacher by training, so | economics teacher by training, so i'm a huge fan of teaching some of those older kids about how the economy works. i think it is essential for understanding lots of the stories you put on every day. there will be teachers up and down the country out rate for that, but thatis the country out rate for that, but that is my subject and the thing that is my subject and the thing that gets me out of bed in the morning. that gets me out of bed in the mornin. , ., ., , ., ., ., morning. very good. it is good to have teachers i morning. very good. it is good to have teachers enthusiastic i morning. very good. it is good to have teachers enthusiastic about | morning. very good. it is good to i have teachers enthusiastic about the subject. the things we struggle with on a daily basis to do with numbers and economics. isn't that a fact. lovely to talk to you.— lovely to talk to you. thanks for

good morning. i'm sonja jessup. more than 7,000 people are being treated in hospitals across the capital for coronavirus. the growing pressure to free up beds for critical cases has led to one hospital — kings college in south london — to arrange for some mostly homeless patients, who are recovering from covid, to be looked after at a best western hotel in croydon. there's 19 rooms at the moment. it's a dedicated floor. there's investment on the hotel side. we have put in a ventilator system, which is designed to filtrate the air. we have a whole covid—positive safe protocol we've set up. we've worked with clinicians to put together. the whole process from picking up the patients right through to check out is quite involved. london's hospitality and tourism bosses are calling on the government to extend the reduced rate of 5% vat beyond the end of march. the industry generates more than £16 billion

to the capital's economy every year. but the tourism alliance and uk hospitality say without extra support more businesses and jobs could be at risk. last week, the government promised one—off grants to hospitality businesses affected by the pandemic. this year's london to brighton bike ride has already been cancelled. it was due to be held in september but the organisers say they're taking the decision now rather than risk calling it off at the last minute. the british heart foundation which runs the event says it'll be back bigger and better in 2022. let's take a look at the travel situation now. we have a few problems on the tube. a mix of signalfailures and track faults — the district line has minor delays, the dlr severe delays, the metropolitan line also has severe delays, and the victoria line minor delays. because the rotherhithe tunnel is closed for repairs, it's still busy on the highway through wapping towards tower hill. and heavy rain overnight has meant some flooding. the anti clockwise entry slip

on the m25 intojunction 22 for st albans is closed from the roundabout. time for the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very wet start out there this morning and it looks like we will hang onto this rain for much of the day. the front that has brought it is stalling — it's not moving anywhere very quickly. heavy rain for much of the morning, into the afternoon as well. the wind veers from the east. with the colder air moving in from the continent, it could turn wintry. we may get some snow in the north and east. temperatures that bit colder, around four, five celsius. the further south and west of london you are, the temperature that bit milder, so falling as rain. overnight tonight any rain and any sleet or snow mixed in there will start to clear as the front finally starts to move out of the way. the sky clears. we could see mist and fog developing but also the temperature drops, down to minus one in one or two spots. with the rain today that could freeze on untreated roads and surfaces. on friday, a ridge of high pressure.

mist and fog might take its time to lift. we could see some sunny spells. quite chilly tomorrow and unsettled again into the weekend. bye for now. hello this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. high street pharmacies in england will begin rolling out covid vaccines from today. it starts with a handful of stores but it's hoped hundreds of chemists will start providing injections over the next few weeks. one of the first people to have an appointement to get his vaccine at a pharmacy was 82—year—old derek mersh — he and his wife are at a chemist in guildford.

about ten centimetres, 20 centimetres of snow on the high ground. the warning runs at ten o'clock but there will be further snowfall on and off during the day. —— runs out. there is colder air sitting across the north and north—east of the country. across north of england and scotland we have seen their snowfall so far. rain in the south of england, wales and the north west of england. things will dry out for ireland. slightly drier in wales and the south—east of england. elsewhere a mix of rain, sleet and snow. we could see a bit of snow in lower levels, even further south. temperatures only two or three towards the north and north—east. nine or ten in the south—west. a real contrast in temperature. the

rain, sleet and snow will start to lose weight and dissipate this evening and overnight. —— move away. do expect some icy conditions by first thing tomorrow morning. some dense patches of freezing fog around as well. we had a ridge of high pressure building in through tomorrow. —— as we have. do watch out for the ice to start the day. he freezing fog will slowly start to clear away but a few places will keep it perhaps all day. any light winds around. still cold for the time of year. temperatures six, 7 degrees in their warmest spots. we have this next band of many rain but also hill snow that is set to sweep across the uk on saturday. high

pressure will build once again into sunday. the outlook for the weekend is a bit up and down, a bit unsettled. blustery winds this balance of rain and hill smith leslie sonny as we move on into sunday. —— hillsnow, mostly leslie sonny as we move on into sunday. —— hill snow, mostly sunny. watch out for the weather and heavy rainfall. that is ronnie 0'sullivan. what do you think? the ball is sunny. mainly darkin you think? the ball is sunny. mainly dark in there. do you want to know charlie's plan? did it go a bit wrong? shall we try and do it again? there we go. not. no, no.

i was going to say, call that sunshine, have a look at this picture of sri lanka where england are playing. finally we got there. doesn't that look nice? abs, bit are playing. finally we got there. doesn't that look nice?— doesn't that look nice? a bit in a contrast to _ doesn't that look nice? a bit in a contrast to our _ doesn't that look nice? a bit in a contrast to our wintry _ doesn't that look nice? a bit in a contrast to our wintry weather, | contrast to our wintry weather, isn't it? i contrast to our wintry weather, isn't it? . . contrast to our wintry weather, isn't it? .. _, ., isn't it? i can confirm ronnie 0'sullivan — isn't it? i can confirm ronnie 0'sullivan is _ isn't it? i can confirm ronnie 0'sullivan is in _ isn't it? i can confirm ronnie 0'sullivan is in milton - isn't it? i can confirm ronnie| 0'sullivan is in milton keynes isn't it? i can confirm ronnie i 0'sullivan is in milton keynes and not on the beach in sri lanka. that is paradise, isn't it? it is where england are starting their winter series. they have all been tested with all the safety protocols. this looks deceptive. a really tough place to play cricket. it is regarded as one of the hardest grounds to play out for a touring side. despite that, and having played no test cricket since august,

england are having a great first day of this opening test against sri lanka, stuart broad taking two early wickets, before dom bess reduced the home side to 25—3 and after lunch, broad took his third wicket, with jack leach, and bess again also striking — sri lanka are 130—9. wow! this england team really has its tails up. but one devoted england fan is enjoying the sea views and the cricket in galle. this is rob lewis, who's been waiting 10 months for this series to begin. he was on his way out to sri lanka last march, when england decided to head home, when the coronavirus was declared a global pandemic. lewis stayed on in sri lanka, though, working remotely — and he's able to see some cricket at last, from the ramparts of a 16th century fort.

i was chatting to him yesterday. he was so excited, desperate to get a ticket. he suggested that one point sneaking in. he decided not to do that. the ramparts give you a great view all the way across the ground. jonathan agnew this morning was in his pyjamas. can you tell us about ronnie 0'sullivan? he his pyjamas. can you tell us about ronnie 0'sullivan?— his pyjamas. can you tell us about ronnie 0'sullivan? he came back from the edae of ronnie 0'sullivan? he came back from the edge of defeat _ ronnie 0'sullivan? he came back from the edge of defeat to _ ronnie 0'sullivan? he came back from the edge of defeat to beat _ ronnie 0'sullivan? he came back from the edge of defeat to beat dane ian i the edge of defeat to beat dane jan we —— ding junhui. now back to life under lockdown, here, and there are growing concerns that football isn't sticking to the coronavirus rules, put in place to allow the professional game to carry on. even so, manchester city manager pep guardiola, says he doesn't know if he can stop his players, hugging each other after they score. city went up to third in the premier league with a 1—0 win over brighton — phil foden with the goal —

but again, there was little evidence of social distancing, in the celebrations, despite a renewed, emphasis on the protocols. harry kane has said players must abide by the rules, and when he put tottenham ahead at home to fulham, he led by example. the celebrations restricted to fist bumps and high fives. but when fulham's hard work paid off, and ivan cavaleiro scored a late equaliser, there was less restraint. the actual rules say handshakes, high fives and hugs must be avoided. it is really difficult. a lot of contact when it comes to celebrations. we have all learned. i cannot do that any more. one day. it will be a long hug. see you later. if you're looking for inspiration on how to keep your children occupied over the lockdown, we've got some great ideas for you now. musician and broadcaster yolanda brown is offering free music lessons to help youngsters stay positive and get them to learn a bit about music in the process. let's take a look. i think we should sway.
