good morning. this is bbc news with victoria derbyshire. here are the latest headlines: mps demand an urgent government statement on whether schools in england willfully re—open before easter. it's the start of the fourth week in lockdown in england — and how are doing? let me know — it's @vicderbyshire on twitter and instagram or email victoria@bbc.co.uk. debenhams is to disappear from the high street with the loss of 12,000 jobs. the fast fashion retailer boohoo has bought the brand and website — but not the stores. riot police clash with demonstrators unhappy about new coronavirus restrictions in the netherlands. a whistleblower has raised new concerns about the safety of boeing's 737 max aircraft — which was grounded world—wide following two crashes

in which 346 people died. in cricket — england need 164 runs to lead the series 2—0 against sri lanka, after bowling the hosts out for 126. and coming up, we'll be speaking to janicejohnston, a mother of 4—macro, who was wrongly diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer and unnecessarily underwent chemotheraphy for 18 months. hello, good morning. mps are demanding clarity from the government on when schools in england willfully reopen — after health secretary matt hancock refused to guarantee that it would happen before easter. the chair of the education select committee, robert halfon, has asked for a plan to be laid out

in the commons, saying that "the engine of government" needs to work towards reopening. meanwhile, senior ministers are preparing to discuss whether to require travellers arriving in the uk to pay to quarantine in a hotel. that's an idea prompted by the new brazil and south african variants, of which there are currently 86 known cases in the uk. scientists fear that vaccines may work less well against them. in the uk, the latest figures show that more than 6.3 million people have had a first vaccine dose, and on saturday, a daily record of 491,970 were injected. the figures suggest that the programme is on course to meet the target of vaccinating the most vulnerable groups by mid—february, with at least one dose. correspondent, chris mason. when will all children in england be back in the classroom? senior conservative mps are demanding that the government sets out its plan for

fully reopening schools. robert halfon, who chairs the education select committee, has tweeted that he wants clarity and a route map to get children learning again at school. he wants a minister to come to parliament to set out what is going on. what i'd like the government to do, to set out today, if the speaker grants me and my urgent question, is to say, one, what the conditions are, but also whether or not they've done an impact on the mental health, educational attainment safeguarding hazards, the risk to children continuing being at home. 0ne senior figure involved in very regular conversations with the department for education told me there was an unwritten acknowledgement that the idea of schools fully reopening after the february half term had been "written off". there is a huge swell of unknowns about how the coronavirus and its new variants will progress. there is hope, as far

as the vaccines are concerned, but the expectation this week is the number of people being jabbed per day will level off because of limits around supply and within government, there is an attempt to manage our expectations, with one minister saying that an ease in the restrictions is a long, long, long way off. and, in fact, it's tightening them that's coming next here at the border, after pictures like this from heathrow airport the government is expected to make people arriving from high—risk countries stay in hotel for ten days at their own expense. this will apply at the very least to foreigners, maybe everyone. chris mason, bbc news. let's talk to our political correspondentjessica parker in westminster. so, really, they want a timetable, some conservative mps and others?

yes, they do want a timetable, a route map or more specifically a set of milestones, criteria by which the government says when we reach this milestone, we will look to do x for example. for example, reopening schools. ministers have repeatedly said reopening schools is the number one priority when it comes to lifting lockdown but it is not clear at the moment when that will be, so of course you have children missing out on school. we have parents who are trying to juggle both work and home schooling as well, so a lot of pressure on families up and down the country. so it does feel there is a renewed push from conservative mps this morning to put pressure on ministers to set out a clearer timeline. it is an issue that has been put to the work and pensions secretary this morning. well, the prime minister has always been very keen to have face—to—face learning for all children, and that is why the decision was made, once the medical officers had raised an alert level five, which meant the nhs was at risk of being overwhelmed, that

will continue to be under review. as the education secretary set out, you know, he wants to give families and schools two weeks' notice. we have to be guided by what is happening with the infection rates but i can assure parents, the prime minister is very keen to return to face—to—face learning as quickly as possible. meanwhile, we know that schools are making tremendous efforts, working with parents on remote learning and that will continue. and away from covid for a moment, gordon brown has been talking today about, in his view, how britain needs to reform even more in order to avoid becoming a failed state? yes, the former prime minister telling borisjohnson that he thinks that the united kingdom needs reform oras that the united kingdom needs reform or as you say it will become a failed state. he is making a few different suggestions as to what he thinks needs to happen in order to pull the united kingdom back together again. pull the united kingdom back togetheragain. he pull the united kingdom back together again. he says tensions

have been exposed between whitehall here in westminster and devolved administrations and regions around england, as well. he is suggesting there should be a forum of nations and regions to improve collaboration between london, between holyrood, between london, between holyrood, between wales, as well, different devolved nations and administrations. also talking about citizens assemblies and says there needs to be a focus on everyday benefits of the united kingdom. things like the nhs and the armed services as well. of course, the overall context of this is those scottish elections coming up in may and the snp saying if there is majority support for referendum in holyrood, they will again be pushing for another referendum and a series of polls have begun to show a majority support a referendum in scotland. that is the context of the warning from gordon brown, the former labour prime minister and working with the labour leader. governments saying they are focusing

on tangible steps to demonstrate the value of the united kingdom. we have heard ministers regularly talk recently about what they describe as the might of the uk treasury. but, look, ministers might make that cell but there are privately conservative mps here in westminster who are pretty worried about the future of the union. . ~ pretty worried about the future of the union. ., ~ i. , pretty worried about the future of the union. . ~' ,, , . the children's commissioner for england, anne longfield, says she's been concerned that it appears the date when all pupils can return to schools is drifting further away. well, i've listened with some dismay over the last few days, as i'm sure parents and children have done around the country, to this kind of winding back of expectation of when schools will return. and, of course, everyone understands that infection rates are high and the nhs is under huge pressure but also i think parents expected to have more of an explanation and be involved in more of that information about the plan towards

children returning to school. i think that's my central feeling at this stage, of course, i want schools to open as soon as absolutely possible, always have, and if that can't be february half term, then 0k. if it's going to be march, then that's ok as well. but, actually, what parents and children want is a plan that helps them understand what the criteria for this is and helps them work alongside that to track and plan. i would like government to have one of their slides at their number 10 briefings on progress towards schools opening, so it can be something that children and families can feel part of that conversation. so it won't suddenly slip from view when they wake up and hear another set of headlines. let's speak to geoff barton, from the association of school and college leaders. hello, mr barton. what do you want to say? i hello, mr barton. what do you want to sa ? ., ~' hello, mr barton. what do you want to sa ? ., ~ ., , hello, mr barton. what do you want tosa ? ., ~ .,, ., hello, mr barton. what do you want to sa ? ., 4' .,, . ,., to say? i would like to see a plan.

sense of public trust that we can start to move towards, young people being where they need to be, back in schools and colleges. the government miaht schools and colleges. the government might reasonably _ schools and colleges. the government might reasonably say _ schools and colleges. the government might reasonably say they _ schools and colleges. the government might reasonably say they can't - schools and colleges. the government might reasonably say they can't do - might reasonably say they can't do any of theirs until the number of infections is reducing and a number of hospital admissions is reducing. they might very well say that but what we know is whilst plans themselves have to change, the process of planning is the important point. what we have is a window of time here to actually say what are those educational priorities? i think frankly taxpayers, everybody else, is going to say is that not a reasonable thing that we should be doing? certainly parents will be saying that. the process of planning i think is what will take the public with us and away from the weekend we have had of swirling speculation. are you suggesting there is no one in the department for education including gavin williamson who is working on a plan at the moment? i working on a plan at the moment? i think we have started just in the past few days to start from a shared

sense of people who are officials in the department saying how might we approach this? i have to say, that is pretty new, the approach of saying good we collaboratively with those people, for example that i represent, good restart to say what are the educational priorities? i feel more confident today that that had started. but frankly, we could have been doing that last summer. we have been doing that last summer. we have said around the exams that young people in year 11 and 13 writing to do their gcses, a—levels and technical vocational qualifications, let's have a plan b for them. the fact we still haven't got that and won't have it for the next three weeks is a sign planning hasn't been specific and coherent enough. d0 hasn't been specific and coherent enou:h. ,, . hasn't been specific and coherent enou:h. ., , hasn't been specific and coherent enou:h. . , ., hasn't been specific and coherent enou:h. . , enough. do you want teachers to be next in line — enough. do you want teachers to be next in line after— enough. do you want teachers to be next in line after the _ enough. do you want teachers to be next in line after the first _ enough. do you want teachers to be next in line after the first four - next in line after the first four groups of the very elderly and clinically vulnerable have been vaccinated much and i think given the distinctiveness of a job of a teacher, give a new contact with lots of young people, it would make sense lots of young people, it would make sens . ~' lots of young people, it would make sens. ., " , , lots of young people, it would make sens ., " , , ., lots of young people, it would make

still overwhelmed. while infection rates are coming down, they are not coming down rapidly, which means they could take months to come down to an acceptable level or, if you want to get down to zero cases, which i think the government could aim for, it would take several months. unless we put further restrictions in place to increase the rate of decline, we will see many more hospitalisations and deaths even whilst we roll out vaccinations.— deaths even whilst we roll out vaccinations. ~ . ,, ., vaccinations. what kind of further restrictions _ vaccinations. what kind of further restrictions would _ vaccinations. what kind of further restrictions would you _ vaccinations. what kind of further restrictions would you like - vaccinations. what kind of further restrictions would you like to - vaccinations. what kind of further| restrictions would you like to see? i think a key thing is certainly schools. as you said earlier, the government has repeatedly said they are prioritising schools but their failure to control transmission and transmission within schools is directly what has led to schools not being available to everyone. even now, while schools are open, there are very little me to greater e measures in place apart from hiding. i think we urgently need to look at this, especially as we are now understanding children are at higher risk of long covid than we

previously thought. we need to have, need to reconsider our social distancing a mask measures in light of the new variant. we know measures previously effective are no longer as effective. do we need to revise mask guideline so people have to wear them in settings like they wouldn't have before, like outdoors? similarly with social distancing, is to meet are still safe enough? we need to urgently use this period of lockdown to improve our surveillance measures like test, trace and isolate. we need to support people with symptoms. some people still can't isolate because they don't have enough funding. all these things are leading to increased transmission in the community and quarantine on borders needs to be managed and people shouldn't be able to exit quarantine with a negative test at five days, which is still allowed. we are seeing a large number of cases with different variants in the uk, which is really concerning. all of this needs to be

done together. vaccines are not the only solution in this.— only solution in this. rights. according — only solution in this. rights. according to _ only solution in this. rights. according to the _ only solution in this. rights. according to the health - only solution in this. rights. - according to the health secretary, there are 86 recorded cases of coronavirus mutated coronavirus, if i can put it like that, that is not a large number.— i can put it like that, that is not a lane number. ., , , a large number. those are the cases we have identified. _ a large number. those are the cases we have identified. the _ a large number. those are the cases we have identified. the number- a large number. those are the cases we have identified. the number of. we have identified. the number of cases has been growing and we have to realise that what we see is the tip of the iceberg. there are likely to be many more cases in the community. we are hearing about a new variant which may have arisen in the uk, in liverpool. there are at least two or three circulating in the uk now. by the time we identify these variants, very often they have been established in the community and then it is very hard to track them and control these outbreaks, particular when we are relying on vaccines and their effectiveness. we need to make sure that we really stamp these out aggressively. in stamp these out aggressively. in israel they say before restrictions can be lifted, 80% of the population has to be vaccinated. do you think that should be the same here? it

depends what the government strategy�*s is. it doesn't need to be the case. it is only the case if you are working on vaccines solely and we shouldn't be because we don't know the effect vaccines have on transmission. we should be putting restrictions in place, aiming for elimination and putting strategies in place that once we left lockdown and restrictions, we don't see the surge in cases we have seen the last few times we have done this. there will be measures i said. i don't think vaccines are the sole measure we can count on because what it even 80% of the population vaccinated, there is no guarantee we won't see outbreaks. ., ., there is no guarantee we won't see outbreaks. ., ,, , ., , . outbreaks. 0k, thank you very much for talkin: outbreaks. 0k, thank you very much for talking to — outbreaks. 0k, thank you very much for talking to us. _ we can look at the prospects of tougher quarantine rules now with travel expert simon calder. good morning to you. apparently in government they are discussing whether we should make sure that all incoming people do the uk paid to quarantine in a hotel. do they work? well, they certainly have worked in

places like australia and china. i have been getting feedback from people who have actually endured quarantine and clearly both of those countries are doing very well indeed. the difference is they brought those in ten months ago and the uk is talking about doing it now. i am the uk is talking about doing it now. iam here in the uk is talking about doing it now. i am here in central london, just across the river is where all these discussions will be taking place. at the moment, of course, it's slightly academic for any of us that want to go on holiday, we are restricted to how far we can walk from our front door, restricted to how far we can walk from ourfront door, in restricted to how far we can walk from our front door, in terms of leisure travel. but there are still somewhere under 10,000 passengers coming into the uk every day. it is a mix of people who have been visiting friends and family over christmas and new year. you also have a lot of business travellers, whether they are read medicine, media, the oil industry or whatever and still a few stragglers coming back from very nice long—stay holidays, in places like the

caribbean. but, can those numbers be managed? the answer seems to be, yes, they can. here in london, there is perhaps 100,000 hotel rooms, the vast majority of them empty. if you have got, even if 8000 people a day are coming into heathrow, you need 80,000 rooms to kind of get through them all on a ten day basis. that is perfectly manageable but it would be a big logistical operation. sure. perfectly manageable but it would be a big logistical operation.— a big logistical operation. sure, so it would be — a big logistical operation. sure, so it would be good _ a big logistical operation. sure, so it would be good business - a big logistical operation. sure, so it would be good business for - a big logistical operation. sure, so i it would be good business for hotels but the travel industry as a whole, what impact will it have on it? welcome at the moment, of course, nobody is booking anything and this willjust nobody is booking anything and this will just destabilise nobody is booking anything and this willjust destabilise confidence even more. if there is an open—ended rule saying, yeah, maybe at easter you will be able to go on holiday but of course when you come back you will then need to pay £2000 to sit in a room in a hotel. and by the way, the way this is done in australia, you have no visitors, no cleaning, no smoking and security guards outside to make sure you

comply with the rules. nobody is going to book a holiday in those circumstances. the travel industry, people i have spoken to say this is a bit of a sledgehammer about ten months too late. they say if you are going to introduce a measure like this, it should have been mid—march, which was the time a lot of countries were imposing these things and instead at that time, march 13, the uk government said, we are lifting all quarantine and testing restrictions. but the government says it is so important to do this now. new variants could pose a particular problem and if we are all working very hard to get the numbers down here, then the last thing we want to do is bring anything in from abroad. ., ., want to do is bring anything in from abroad. ., ,, , ., want to do is bring anything in from abroad. ., ~' , ., , want to do is bring anything in from abroad. ., ,, i. , . want to do is bring anything in from abroad. ., ,, , . ,, ., abroad. thank you very much, simon. travel editor — abroad. thank you very much, simon. travel editor of _ abroad. thank you very much, simon. travel editor of the _ abroad. thank you very much, simon. travel editor of the independent. - councils in england are being given £23 million to counter fake stories and misinformation around the coronavirus vaccine. the money will be shared between 60 councils and targeted towards groups including people with disabilities, the elderly and those from black

and minority ethnic backgrounds, who are more likely to suffer the worst effects of the virus. the government said the funding will help save lives. if you are getting in touch with us today, you are very welcome. you can message me on instagram or twitter or send me an e—mail. a couple of messages from you about how you are doing right now. emily on instagram says, i am trying to stay positive but it is just so much harder when you are trying to study for your course from home. i wish i was in a classroom. 0n classroom. on twitter, this viewer says i am getting on with it, nothing more to do, respect the rules and smile. neil says i am a key worker, still seeing far more people out and about than in the first lockdown. and another, i'm despairing at the government, they need to lock down hard, close our borders, test, trace and isolate, we are going round in circles and it seems never—ending. the online fashion retailer boohoo this morning confirmed that it has

bought the debenhams brand and website. the significance of that is that debenhams is now certain to lose its high street presence. the deal is worth 55 million pounds, but boohoo won't be taking on any of debenhams' 118 stores or 12,000 staff. let's talk to our business presenter ben thompson. it feels like this has been a long time coming? it it feels like this has been a long time coming?— it feels like this has been a long time cominu ? ., , i. ., time coming? it does, you are right. good morning _ time coming? it does, you are right. good morning to _ time coming? it does, you are right. good morning to you. _ time coming? it does, you are right. good morning to you. the _ time coming? it does, you are right. good morning to you. the headline i good morning to you. the headline that many of the 12,000 staff will not want to read this morning as this announcement probably brings to an end 2112 years of debenhams on our high streets in towns and cities around the country. it is worth remembering that debenhams is often what is known as an anchor tenant, a big draw too many high streets and shopping centres around the country. those stores, we believe, will not reopen as a result of this deal with boohoo. they will pay £55 million for the brand but they will not take on any of the stock, any of the

stores and crucially, any of the star. this deal has been a long time coming. debenhams has been in and out of administration over the years. it has really struggled to find a future for itself, given that some may be critically say it means nothing to do no one any more because perhaps it's unique selling points, it's a law and attraction of the past is no longer there in the face of faster and more nimble rivals, rye of the h&m, primark, next. for now it has to decide what it wants to do. boohoo says it will take on those brands, it will sell them through its own website but for them through its own website but for the immediate future, the idea of debenhams is to get those stores open quickly, sell off some stock and then close again. it said six stores will not reopen, including its flagship store on 0xford stores will not reopen, including its flagship store on oxford street but there are many, many others up and down the country that this morning have a very uncertain

future. forthe morning have a very uncertain future. for the landlords of those big stores, the big expensive stores, they will have two options now. one is to invest and adapt and modify those stores, make the more modern, may be appealed to a different sort of retailer. 0r change their use altogether. we have seen a number of high street suddenly get a new lease of life but with very different tenants. we saw this was the case after the demise of bhs and perhaps this time we can say with debenhams, as well. and of bhs and perhaps this time we can say with debenhams, as well. and top man and top — say with debenhams, as well. and top man and top topshop _ say with debenhams, as well. and top man and top topshop and _ say with debenhams, as well. and top man and top topshop and miss - man and top topshop and miss selfridge will be brought out as well? , , ., _ ., ., well? yes, this deal by no means a done deal. — well? yes, this deal by no means a done deal, not _ well? yes, this deal by no means a done deal, not confirmed - well? yes, this deal by no means a done deal, not confirmed in - well? yes, this deal by no means a done deal, not confirmed in any . well? yes, this deal by no means a l done deal, not confirmed in any way whatsoever but it seems there are many parallels between the fate of debenhams and the fate in some respects of brands like topshop, dorothy perkins, wallis, burton's. we are led to believe asos are

interested but in the brand only, not shops, stores or potentially the staff either. there seems there is a big move from the online retailers, asos and boohoo, to stake a claim on the well—known bryants that i've been on our high streets for so long. but the shape they will run those businesses in and the stock they will need and the amount of stores they will need is very different. they are more nimble and operate on a much lower cost model so it is likely those stores will disappear, to, from our high streets. that raises some huge questions, particularly in smaller towns around the country about what those high streets will look like if you lose a debenhams, if you lose a dorothy perkins and a topshop, what is still there? it's about coming up with different uses for those retail outlets and thinking again about how we use our town and city centres. rather than them just been dominated by expensive retail, perhaps it is time that they are opened as more

community centres. doctors surgeries, hairdressers, community hubs on those high streets, rather than just relying on hubs on those high streets, rather thanjust relying on retail hubs on those high streets, rather than just relying on retail because retailers have had to pay a lot of rent and rates and overheads and they simply cannot keep up with their cheaper online rivals who have none of those costs. so i think there will be a real reckoning in there will be a real reckoning in the new year was that this is likely to get worse before it gets better because we know the pandemic has pushed more of us to shop online than ever before but i think the real questions about what role those towns and cities play and what role retail plays on the high street. thank you very much. one of the killers of fusilier lee rigby, michael adebowale, is seriously ill in hospital with covid—19. lee rigby was stabbed to death whilst off duty mear the royal artillery barracks in woolwich in may 2013. adebowale was taken to hospital from the high security broadmoor facility towards the end of last week and has been receiving oxygen. he was jailed for a minimum of 45

years for the brutal street murder. his fellow killer, michael adebolajo, was given a whole life term. security chiefs in the netherlands will meet today to discuss a response to a weekend of protests in defiance of a new 9pm curfew. one of the worst outbreaks of violence was in the southern city of eindhoven, where some protesters threw fireworks and smashed windows. the mayor there said the country was heading for civil war. there were also clashes in amsterdam. anna holligan reports. burning bicycles were built as a barricade. in eindhoven, they wore facemasks to avoid detection and hurled rocks to repel the riot police, who eventually used tear gas to clear the streets. families stopped to stare while others steered clear. the roads were blocked and supermarkets looted as frustration turned to opportunism.

the netherlands has just entered its toughest lockdown since the start of the pandemic. while the number of daily covid—19 cases have generally been falling, there are considerable concerns about the risks posed by the new variants first detected in the uk, south africa and south america. on saturday, all flights from these places were banned. there is resentment too, this liberal nation that enjoyed a relatively relaxed lockdown during the first wave has been forced to change its tune and is now facing one of the toughest in the world. there were also protests in denmark at the weekend. hundreds of people joined a mass anti—lockdown demonstration in copenhagen. police were out in force, and up to nine people were arrested. denmark has introduced new travel restrictions. in france, the top scientific adviser says the country probably needs a third coronavirus lockdown. earlier this month, france

brought forward the start of its nightly curfew to 6pm, but since then, the average number of new infections has increased from 18,000 per day to more than 20,000. coming up to 9:30. if you are getting in touch with us today, you are most welcome. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. some of us saw quite a bit of snow yesterday and for many of us today, it is drier, it is brighter, there is more sunshine, but there still are some wintry showers across parts of the north and also the west. the coasts are more likely to be of rain or sleet, inland more likely to be of snow, especially in the hills, and you can see a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine. not feeling as cold as it did through the weekend as well. temperatures are closer to average for the time of year, between three in the north and seven as we come further south. through this evening and overnight, there will be clear skies, so once again,

the temperatures will fall away. we are looking at a widespread frost. some further wintry showers and, once again, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. it's going to be a cold night, but out towards the west, you can already see the cloud buidling ahead of this next weather system coming our way and tomorrow that is going to be moving northwards and eastwards with some snow on its leading edge across the pennines and southern uplands but somewhat drier for a time on wednesday. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: mps demand an urgent government statement on whether schools in england willfully re—open before easter. what i want the government to do as set out what i want the government to do as a route map, what the conditions need to be for children can go back to school more fully. debenhams is to disappear from the high street with the loss of 12,000 jobs.

boohoo has bought the brand and website — but not the stores. riot police clash with demonstrators unhappy about new coronavirus restrictions in the netherlands. a whistleblower has raised new concerns about the safety of boeing's 737 max aircraft — which was grounded world—wide following two crashes n which 346 people died. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sally nugent. england's cricketers looking well placed to chase down the 164 they need to win their second and final test against sri lanka. england quickly lost their last first innings wicket first thing this morning but sri lanka then collapsed dramatically in their second innings. spinners dom bess and jack leach did most of the damage. but it was captainjoe root who took the last two wickets. at tea, england were going well on 46 for 1, so they need another 118 to win.

sri lanka have to win the match to tie the series what an fa cup tie we were treated to at old trafford — manchester united got the edge over their fierce rivals liverpool, to progress to the 5th round of the competition. it came down to bruno fernandes to settle the game, after liverpool had levelled at 2—all. patrick gearey was watching. cheering. the noise you hear might be recorded, the fans you see might seem a little flat, but this is a fixture that can never feel empty. there is something on every game, every pass, every goal. especially that one from liverpool's mo salah, it was his side's first since the last round, ending a dry january. manchester united, though, our league leaders and they have marcus rashford, a man of vision, who spotted mason greenwood, who slotted the equaliser. greenwood's just 19, the same age as liverpool's rhys williams, still learning, sometimes the hard way. after williams missed this, he'd have known rashford wasn't going to. 2-1.

jurgen klopp had hoped this game would reignite his team. sometimes the switch only flicks when you force it. salah sparked, liverpool lit an old flame. it would be extinguished by magic. a year ago this week, united signed bruno fernandes, precisely to do things like this. so a rivalry built on close geography, sustained by competitive history, is settled by individual quality. patrick geary, bbc news. well better news for the blue side of merseyside. everton beat sheffield wednesday 3 nil at goodison. yerry mina scored their third goal. they'll play either tottenham or wycombe next. also through yesterday were chelsea, leicester and burnley livingston are in the scottish league cup final after a one nil win over st mirren. an early header from scott robinson made it 11 games unbeaten. it's just their second major final, and they'll play stjohnstone.

the green bay packers 31—26. at 43 brady will be the oldest quarterback to play in the superbowl. the buccaneers will face reigning champions the kansas city chiefs on 7 february. it's a tough journey to get here so to when another play—off game as a great achievement and a home super bowl for the first time, puts a lot of cool things in perspective, the first time doing something is usually a pretty good thing. now we have to go and have a great two weeks prepare for whoever it is and be ready to go. ready to go.

an urgent question in the house of commons when schools will fully reopen, the request has been turned down. that does not mean the pressure on the government will not continue, a number of conservative mps want some kind of timetable, some kind of route map to when schools might start going back. a mum and grandmother of 4 has been left with severe anxiety, depression and ptsd after she was wrongly diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer. janicejohnston underwent 18 months of chemotherapy, with her doses being increased, when the treatment appeared not to be working. the 53—year—old experienced bone pain, nausea, extreme weight loss and loss of teeth and had to give up work. after failing to see improvements in her condition she asked to been seen by specialists who went on to discover she didn't have cancer at all. east kent hospitals university nhs foundation trust has since admitted liability and awarded

it has already been cleared to fly again in north america — but a whistle—blower has raised new concerns over the safety of the aircraft. theo leggett reports. the 737 max is back in the air, but is it safe? 0nce boeing's fastest selling aircraft, it has suffered two major accidents in less than five months. first, a lion air plane went down into the sea off indonesia. then an ethiopian airlines aircraft near identical to those seen here, crashed minutes after taking off from the ethiopian capital, addis ababa. in each case, investigators have blamed flight control software that became active at the wrong time and prompted the aircraft to go into a catastrophic dive. now the 737 max design has been modified and planes will be fitted with new software. regulators in the united states insist they have done a thorough job. but ed pearson disagrees. he is a us navy veteran and former senior manager at boeing who worked on the production line at the 737

factory near seattle. i am concerned that there are potential defects in these aeroplanes that stem back to when the aeroplanes were manufactured and i believe that these defects could potentially cause future tragedies. before the lion air crash, whilst still working at boeing, mr pearson warned his bosses that the factory was making too many planes to quickly and he claimed safety was being compromised. later, after retiring, and after the crashes, he took his concerns to the us congress. now, he has written a report outlining what he says were unexplained electrical and control system problems on both aircraft which were evident before the crashes but he claims have not been investigated properly. all the warnings i give about production quality, all of it has sadly come true and i'm just concerned and i feel like there is a lot of unanswered questions that need to be

addressed. boeing has previously described any suggestion of a link between conditions at the 737 factory and the two accidents as completely unfounded, and pointed out that none of the authorities investigating the crashes has found any such link. meanwhile, regulators in europe are expected to unground the plane this week with the uk following their example and they have already made it clear they think the plane is safe. you can send me a message you can send me a message on you can send me a message on instagram or twitter. the headlines on bbc news... mps demand an urgent government statement on whether schools in england willfully re—open before easter. debenhams is to disappear from the high street with the loss of 12,000 jobs. the fast fashion retailer boohoo has bought the brand and website —— but not the stores. riot police clash with demonstrators unhappy about new coronavirus restrictions

in the netherlands. let's talk about vaccinations now, the government's vaccination programme, which so far has seen nearly six and a half million people get a first dose, and about half a million people having the second dose. the plan is to get fifteen million first doses out by mid february. i'mjoined by adam finn, professor of paediatrics at bristol university, and a member of the government's joint committee on vaccination and immunisation good morning. good morning. i want to ask you about the british medical association, the union for senior doctors who have suggested that delaying the first dose before you get the second dose would cost lives. what you say to unfortunately, the ema have picked up unfortunately, the ema have picked up half the story and ignored the

other half. they want to represent the medical profession and look after them, the medical profession and look afterthem, but the medical profession and look after them, but they are failing to recognise that the second doses that are being delayed are being given to other members of the medical profession and providing them with protection and that is a concrete well known fact so the overall benefit within the profession is to do at the way they are recommending and not to rush through web second doses when there are many people who still need to receive the first one. 0ne one of the concerns is that by having a first dose and a delay of 12 weeks, you are not as well protected. what are the facts? brute protected. what are the facts? we know protected. what are the facts? - know that the projection after one doseis know that the projection after one dose is extremely good, surprisingly good. what we know from one of the two vaccines, the oxford vaccine, the protection process and the immune response is enhanced by the

second dose. the information about pfizer is an extrapolation of the oxford vaccine, that protection does 0xford vaccine, that protection does not win away rapidly, if anything, it can could end continues to increase after the first dose and the second dose will give a boost response. the evidence is already beginning to arrive to confirm that. a little bit of patience, we will have the missing evidence to reconfirm that this can you explain the thinking about who is a priority for the vaccine? this is a really, really important point. although the headline figures of millions of people receiving the vaccine are impressive and a good index of how much is being done, the critical thing is who are the people receiving the vaccine? the numbers of vaccine doses that you need to save a life is around 20 if you are talking about elderly care home residents, if you talk about people

in their 60s or 70s it goes up to 100 and middle aged adults it goes up 100 and middle aged adults it goes up to the thousands. it is key to give the precious doses to the right people why are teachers and teacher support staff not considered a priority for vaccine roll out? is staff not considered a priority for vaccine roll out?— staff not considered a priority for vaccine roll out? is essentially for reason i explained. _ vaccine roll out? is essentially for reason i explained. the _ vaccine roll out? is essentially for reason i explained. the present i reason i explained. the present strategy is entirely about preventing hospitalisation and death. teachers if they are in the risk category by age or our end as entitled as anyone else. teachers or firemen or anyone else, those considerations have two follow on from the first phase which is all about trying to protect the people who are most when will we know what vaccinated

people can transmit the virus or not? ., , people can transmit the virus or not? . , . ' . people can transmit the virus or not? . '. ,., not? that is a difficult question. it is one not? that is a difficult question. it is one of— not? that is a difficult question. it is one of the _ not? that is a difficult question. it is one of the most _ not? that is a difficult question. it is one of the most important. it is one of the most important questions and we need to know the answer. the evidence so far which is limited relates to the oxford vaccine and moderna vaccine, it reduces the infectiousness or the likelihood of getting asymptomatic infection to a degree, but the expectation is that it will be a less concrete protection against severe disease. we offer predict that giving the vaccine will reduce peoples infection, but putting a number on it is difficult and will take longer. in israel, they said they had to vaccinate 80% of their population before lifting restrictions. should we do that in the uk? i before lifting restrictions. should we do that in the uk?— we do that in the uk? i think it is a ruess, we do that in the uk? i think it is a guess. we _ we do that in the uk? i think it is a guess, we don't _ we do that in the uk? i think it is a guess, we don't really - we do that in the uk? i think it is a guess, we don't really know, i we do that in the uk? | think it is. a guess, we don't really know, but it's a reasonable estimate. we will

see that the first phase will do very little to reduce transmission in the population at large because most of the people are immunising are people who are not moving around, so we have to recognise the first phase is going to relieve the pressure on the health service which is the driver of the current restrictions, but if we don't throw caution to the went and go back to normal, we will have another wave of infection with many deaths and many sick people. we have to move towards normality at a very careful pace, otherwise we are going to get in trouble later you will note some surveys suggest that some black people and people from ethnic minorities are sceptical and reluctant to have the vaccine. what would you say to them? i am really concerned _ what would you say to them? i am really concerned about _ what would you say to them? i —.n really concerned about this because it is clear that these groups are particularly high risk and amongst

them the elderly. i really think they need to be given good information so they can make the right decisions. i was heartened to read this morning about an initiative to do that, money is being invested in improving the communication and information for these segments of society so they can make the right decision and get immunised when the vaccine is we know it takes three weeks to four protection to kick in after vaccinating, you have already said the priority groups are not people who are moving around in the community, can you estimate how long it is going to be before we see a link between vaccination programme feeding through into a decrease in transmission and a decrease in hospital admissions? transmission and a decrease in hospitaladmissions? no transmission and a decrease in hospital admissions? no we will see the second of those things first, a number of studies are going on, here in bristol we are monitoring people coming into hospital and looking to

see how well, having had the vaccine protects your ability to avoid being admitted with golf covid—19 pneumonia, we will see that if they'd been manifest this week, within the next couple of weeks, there will be enough people who have had the vaccine and are getting pneumonia to be able to judge the size of the impact. the first part of your question as their own transmission, as we discussed, it is more difficult to show and more difficult to be sure about that. the emphasis is that if you have had the vaccine, you are going to be protected after approximately two weeks against hospitalisation and serious illness very reliably, but you must take precautions because you must take precautions because you could get infected infect other people. millions of parents and children are about to start a fourth week of home schooling.

of that and just have a dry day with a lot of sunshine and variable amounts of cloud. not feeling quite as cold as it did at the weekend, either. temperatures closer to where they should be at this stage injanuary, three in lerwick, seven in liverpool and also st helier. now, through this evening and overnight we hang onto those showers, still wintry in nature but a lot of clear skies. that means the temperature will fall away readily, especially where we had lying snow and we are looking at a widespread frost and once again, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. temperatures falling as low, for example, as —4 in birmingham. but the cloud is starting to build out towards the west. that is heralding the arrival of this clutch of fronts, which through tomorrow are going to be pushing northwards and eastwards, taking the rain and on their leading edge some snow and then on wednesday, we have a new, more potent weather front coming our way introducing rain. so, first thing on tuesday morning, a lot of dry weather to be had. it's going to be cold, it's going to be frosty with a risk of ice. here comes the rain. as it engages with the cold air in scotland and northern england, we are likely to see some snow.

quite a few centimetres likely in the southern uplands and also the pennines but some of this could be at lower levels. still only three degrees in the north but 10 degrees in plymouth, so a sign of a change. so, through tuesday evening, we say goodbye to this clutch of fronts and then we've got the next one coming our way on wednesday. this one, coming in from the atlantic, is going to bring with it milder air. it's battling with the cold arctic air which we've been in for the last few days. so, we start off on a cold note in the east during the course of wednesday, a bright note as well. the cloud building from the south—west. very slowly, we start to see a return to this rain coming in across northern ireland, eventually into wales and south—west england. 10s and 11s, but still only two in aberdeen.

this is bbc news. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. the speaker of the house of commons rejects mps' demand for an urgent government statement on whether schools in england will fully re—open before easter. what i want the government to do is to set out a route map and what i mean by that is set out what the conditions need to be before children can go back to school more fully. it's the start of the fourth week in lockdown in england — and how are doing? let me know — it's @vicderbyshire on twitter and instagram or email victoria@bbc.co.uk. riot police clash with demonstrators unhappy about new coronavirus restrictions in the netherlands. the president of mexico says he's tested positive for coronavirus. it comes as the country grapples with an upsurge in infections, with deaths nearing 150,000.
