tensions have emerged over the supply of coronavirus vaccines, with the european union warning it will restrict exports of covid jabs produced in belgium, amid a row with astrazeneca over a cut in planned supplies. the eu is demading a detailed explanation from astrazeneca after the company said production issues meant it would not be able to supply as many doses of the vaccine as it had promised. the eu is warning that it will take any action necessary to protect its citizens, as vaccine supply become a critical issue from many countries. 0ur political correspondent, jessica parker is in westminster.

is there any indication that this could affect supplies for the uk? the government say they are confident they can keep going with the current plan and target, which is to offer the vaccine to the full top priority groups by mid—february. but this row is definitely brewing. what seems to be the problem is the eu are saying they are now being told they are not going to get the level of supply over the coming weeks and months from astrazeneca that they were expecting. they are not happy about that at all. they are saying that they therefore want to potentially see other vaccine suppliers and manufacturers in the eu report that exports leaving the european union. in terms of the astrazeneca supply for the uk, the bulk of astrazeneca vaccines for the uk are manufactured in this country. a potential robin could arise in

that the other vaccine, the pfizer vaccine, manufactured largely in belgium. but the minister in charge of the vaccines sounded fairly confident that things would be ok this morning. i'm very confident with the team. we talk to them all the time. they are confident they will deliver for us, yes. and astrazeneca, the bulk of astrazeneca oxford is manufactured in the uk because we made that early investment in _ manufacturing capacity in the uk, which is also good news. so i'm confident we will meet our mid—february target and then we will keep vaccinating beyond that as we vaccinate the whole of the adult population, or those who will accept a vaccine, by the autumn. what will be important to keep an eye on here is exactly what the eu decides to do. if it is a matter of saying to manufacturers in the european union, you have to report in the name of transparency, what vaccines are leaving the eu block, and where they are going. if they

try to limit the movement of vaccines, that would be a much more dramatic move. we have to wait and see what the eu will actually do and decide in the coming days. but the wider context of this is the scramble for vaccines across the world. yesterday, health secretary matt hancock describes the supply of vaccines as tight. he said, we have the ability to deploy the vaccine in the ability to deploy the vaccine in the uk, but the limiting factor is the uk, but the limiting factor is the supply. they haven't gone into too much detail about the level of supply they are getting. i think that tells you the level of sensitivity around this issue globally. in terms of other subjects were took matt this week, for example efforts to reopen schools in the coming months, so much depends on vaccine deployment and making sure that that can keep up the planet to vaccine those top priority

groups. 0ur europe correspondent, gavin lee, is in brussels. is it about companies notifying the eu is what experts they were making, or could it be about the eu blocking some of those exports? de or could it be about the eu blocking some of those exports?— some of those exports? de health commissioner _ some of those exports? de health commissioner for _ some of those exports? de health commissioner for the _ some of those exports? de health commissioner for the eu - some of those exports? de health commissioner for the eu said - some of those exports? de health commissioner for the eu said last| commissionerfor the eu said last night that this is about the vaccine transparency mechanism that she wants to put in place, that the eu commission wants to put in place, and it has to be agreed on by the 27 member states. that would be about notifying the eu when they are going to third countries as well as the uk. at this stage, there is no sense there will be any obligation. however, overnight the german health minister said that, once we get a sense of where and when these

vaccines are going, when they are being exported, where they are going to, an obligation to get approval for vaccine exports for the eu would make sense. perhaps a flippant comment, no more than that, perhaps the germans want to see more than this. i think that's why there is slight caution around it. there is also this massive upset and deep frustration that has been vocalised by the eu commission with astrazeneca saying they have not been given sufficient answers for the delay. there is concern that all these vaccines are going to the uk and the us. where is the 80 million vaccines that the eu are waiting for before the end of march? that gives yoursense before the end of march? that gives your sense the background. there were also pfizer delays as well. [30 were also pfizer delays as well. do ou were also pfizer delays as well. do you think this is to do with production problems with astrazeneca. ? the company talked about that last week. 0r

astrazeneca. ? the company talked about that last week. or is this to do with the joint procurement system that the eu follows, which the uk opted out of last summer? the “oint big government i opted out of last summer? the “oint big government system is i opted out of last summer? the joint| big government system is something that the eu has really torqued up to member states that make the joint procurement system. member states can decide to go their own way, like the uk did and hungary as well. the eu said that astrazeneca is not delivering. 0n the other side of that, the eu is under a lot of pressure from member states, the danes, the austrians, the czech republics, and the greeks all wrote a letter to the european council because, believe it or not, whilst they are desperate to get the vaccine, the regulatory body in the

eu has not approved it. that is due on friday. they are saying, hurry up with this please. they can see the uk and other countries where ahead of them. each country is trying to magnetise these countries to get to their areas and seeing it go elsewhere. their areas and seeing it go elsewhere-— their areas and seeing it go elsewhere. ., , elsewhere. here, the government is ex - ected elsewhere. here, the government is exnected to — elsewhere. here, the government is expected to announce _ elsewhere. here, the government is expected to announce that - elsewhere. here, the government is expected to announce that some - expected to announce that some travellers coming to england will have to quarantine in hotels when they arise, arrive. it comes amid concerns over new coronavirus variants. the prime minister is due to meet with ministers today to discuss the plans, which the scottish government also says it's "actively considering". 0ur political correspondent iain watson has more. when you splash out on a hotel, usually it involves going on holiday. but soon it could be something you have to do when coming back home. currently, the government has decided most foreign nationals cannot gain entry from the uk from brazil, most of south america, portugal and most of southern africa, in a bid to stop the spread of new variants of the coronavirus.

but it seems likely that ministers will decide that any british resident coming into england from these high risk areas will be bussed to hotels and would be required to quarantine for up to ten days at their own expense. good afternoon, and welcome back to downing street for today's coronavirus briefing. the health secretary set out why tougher restrictions are likely. it is incredibly important that we are cautious at the border. it is important that we protect from new variants should they have vaccine evasion. some ministers, including the home secretary, have been pushing for more widespread use of quarantine. but the travel industry doesn't want to see almost everyone either sent to hotels on arrival or banned from entry altogether. we don't believe quarantines or blanket quarantines, are good because you're saying that the entire country is infected, or the entire nationality is infected, which is not even the case here in the uk. so we believe that the health

experts have to get together with the security experts, as they have done after 9/11 as we know, and do a risk assessment and based on the country, and i think that's what we're trying to do with the air corridors. ministers will thrash out today who will have to quarantine in hotels and for how long, and who will be exempt. the new policy won't be implemented immediately but it is on its way. iain watson, bbc news. uk unemployment has soared to its highest level for more than four years because of the pandemic. new official figures showed that in the three months to november, the unemployment rate rose to 5%, up from 4.9%. the hospitality industry was worst hit followed by manufacturing. our business presenter ben thompsonjoins me now. this is no surprise and it probably only going to get worse. yes. this is no surprise and it probably only going to get worse. yes, and there is a lot _ only going to get worse. yes, and there is a lot of _ only going to get worse. yes, and there is a lot of numbers - only going to get worse. yes, and there is a lot of numbers to - only going to get worse. yes, and there is a lot of numbers to get i there is a lot of numbers to get through this morning. the numbers

are what tells us the story of who and how people are affected by the jobs market as a result of this pandemic. to take that headline figure you quoted there, rising to 5%, it doesn't seem like a significant increase coming from 4.9% in the period before. but it does mean that 1.7 million people are out of work. that is a jump of 118,000 since last year. that is the biggest increase in unemployment annually since the financial crash in 2008 and 2009. that comes from a job market which is artificially supported by the furlough scheme. there are still around four and a half million people on furlough. the expectation is things will get worse as that support is reduced. there is pressure on the government to extend that furlough scheme way beyond its

current expiry date beyond the end of april. what we are expecting is that as that support is reduced, the unemployment rate could creep ever higher to maybe six, seven, 8% towards the middle or end of the year. if you look at some of the detail, it gives you a sense of who is most badly affected. he touched on hospitality, and that is no great surprise. we know that hospitality has suffered and borne the brunt of this more than most. we will also see average earnings have actually gone up. that seems perverse in crisis we are facing, but that in itself is probably because we have lost a lot of lower paid jobs. a lot of the higher end are in work and still able to work but a lot of the lower paid jobs have been lost. part—time workers have got the lowest pay since 2011. there is also

very little support for those in self—employment, and they have the lowest pay since 2014. they have given up altogether a lot of them. one thing bearing in mind is that none of these figures are bearing in mind this third national lockdown. these are up until the end of november. we will only know what difference the december lockdown made in the next of figures. let's speak to former west end dancer rebecca fennelly, who found herself a new career as a software coach, when the first lockdown hit last march. and amy golding, ceo of tech recruiter 0pus talent solutions, can talk us through the options for people finding themselves out of work in the pandemic. rebecca first of all. what a typical working day look like for you in march last year?— working day look like for you in march last year? very different to now. a march last year? very different to nova a typical _ march last year? very different to nova a typical day _ march last year? very different to now. a typical day would - march last year? very different to now. a typical day would be - march last year? very different to now. a typical day would be a - now. a typical day would be a rehearsal around midday in the

talent. we ran a 12 week reskilling course. as rebecca said, the course that she took. the great proportion of people on that course during the pandemic have been from the hospitality and retail sector. it is much more accessible to retrain in that world. they think it is a different sector completely. but at our company, we are seeing that clients across all sectors are hiring. but they are hiring into their tech teams. if you are passionate about an industry and you have years of experience, you don't have years of experience, you don't have to leave it behind. if you can retrain your skill set, you can stay in an industry that you love, or explore a new passion potentially, but with a new skill set. white and how costly and time—consuming is it to rescale?

are tight but that the uk will get enough doses. the government is expected to announce that some travellers coming to england will have to quarantine in hotels when they arrive. unemployment continues to rise. another 200,00 people lost theirjobs in the past three months meaning 1.72 million people are now out of work in the uk. there's been a second night of violent unrest in the netherlands. groups of people in cities across the country have defied a curfew order, which was introduced at the weekend in an effort to curb the spread of covid—19. anna holligan reports. a rampage in rotterdam. 0ne warning shot was fired. riot police used water cannons and tear gas after an emergency order issued by the mayor failed to move the hundreds who gathered. tensions ignited on the streets of the hague

too. police on bicycles try to move small clusters of men before calling in reinforcements. there are clashes across the country for a third night since the 9pm curfew came into force. in a city in the south, they filed through the steets, sharing a warning to stay at home. in another city, dozens descended. they stormed and looted a supermarket. the dutch prime minister dismissed the idea that those instigating the riots were fighting for freedom from the lockdown. the only thing we have to beat, he said, is the virus. but there are simmering frustrations streaming through dutch society that are being whipped up by widespread misinformation and political manipulation, including radical populist elements. with less than two months before a general election, voters are vulnerable

and the streets are volatile. the uk is offering to analyse new variants of coronavirus for countries who are unable to do it themselves. scientists here will use a new �*assessment platform' to sequence the full genetic code of samples with the aim of providing an early warning of mutations thought to be more dangerous or immune to vaccines. the formal process of putting the former us president donald trump on trial has begun, after democrats from the house of representatives delivered an article of impeachment against him. mr trump is charged with inciting insurrection after a number of his supporters stormed congress earlier this month, resulting in the deaths of five people. 0ur north america correspondent david willis reports. it is a rare ritual established with the first us impeachment trial of 1862. lawmakers filing through the marble halls of congress, the seat of government desecrated less

than three weeks ago by a violent mob, to signal the start of only the fourth impeachment trial in american history, and the second within the space of the year. passing statues of eisenhower, jackson, jefferson and grant, they carried with them across the capitol rotunda a single article of impeachment en route to the senate which in two weeks' time will determine donald trump's fate. he stands charged with high crimes and misdemeanours. president trump gravely endangered the security of the united states and its institutions of government. he threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperilled the coequal branch of government. he thereby betrayed his trust as president to the manifest injury of the people of the united states. donald trump has been granted a two—week delay in order to prepare his defence.

a key question, once proceedings get under way, on the 9th of february, is, will he turn up? we fight like hell and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more. with those words, delivered just before a joint session of congress called to certinyoe biden's election victory, donald trump is accused of inciting the storming of the capitol building. five people died in the mayhem. among them a police officer and a protester who was shot dead by capitol police. later today, the 100 members of the senate will be sworn in as jurors in mr trump's impeachment trial. a two thirds majority is required in the senate in order to convict him, a target evenjoe biden has conceded he thinks is unlikely. but if convicted, donald trump could be banned from holding public office ever again. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. janet yellen has been confirmed as the first ever female us

treasury secretary in a senate vote. ms yellen who headed the us central bank from 2014 to 2018, earlier won bipartisan support from members of the senate finance committee. she'll be responsible for guiding the biden administration's economic response to the pandemic. at her confirmation hearing on 19 january, ms yellen urged congress to approve trillions more in pandemic relief and economic stimulus, saying that lawmakers should "act big" without worrying about national debt. more than three hundred global companies and organisations have urged world leaders to classify seafarers as keyworkers so they are no longer stranded at sea because of the pandemic. about 200—thousand sea—men and women have played a crucial role in keeping global trade flowing, but many have been stuck at sea for months.

of the highest in the world. each death represents a personal tragedy for a family who has lost a loved one. mohammed shafi died of coronavirus on the 3rd december. the 80—year—old leaves behind 9 children, 28 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. we can speak now to mohammed shafi's daughter, suzanna akhtar. a very good morning to you. good morninn. tell us about your dad. he was a very loving _ tell us about your dad. he was a very loving person _ tell us about your dad. he was a very loving person and _ tell us about your dad. he was a very loving person and very - tell us about your dad. he was a very loving person and very well| very loving person and very well known in society aren't a foster carer for over 30 years. he known in society aren't a foster carerfor over 30 years. he remained a foster carer until the end. my mum is continuing with that. he suffered with a heart condition for over 30 years but he always bounced back. he

was a heart failure patient for the last two years but he never gave an, he was very strong and fought until the end. when he went into hospital with an infection, we had to face the fact he wouldn't be coming home again. little to our knowledge he was being discharged on the monday but on the sunday he was told he had contracted covid—19 and it was how difficult was it not to be able to spend time with him as his condition worsened after the covid—19 test? it condition worsened after the covid-19 test?— condition worsened after the covid-19 test? ., , ., ., , covid-19 test? it was horrendous. beinn covid-19 test? it was horrendous. being hospitalised _ covid-19 test? it was horrendous. being hospitalised was _ covid-19 test? it was horrendous. being hospitalised was very - being hospitalised was very difficult because dad had been admitted to hospital a number of times but every time, we are a huge family and there was always someone ljy family and there was always someone by his bedside and helped him with rehabilitation. this time, we were

unable to support him and to be there with him but as you say, as he deteriorated, it was horrendous not knowing what state he was an and it was his time of need and we could not be there with him. guilt and hopelessness, it takes how do you feel about the fact that he contracted covid—19 in hospital? we knew there existed that possibility when he was admitted and that was the fear factor, but he needed the intervention and he couldn't remain at home. that he caught 19 there is very concerning. we know hospitals are taking all the precautions they can, but he did contract out while he was there and he was under the assumption that he was being discharged, it hit has very hard. how important is it for you that

is having on those working on the frontline. people need to know it is not a game. it is frightening. barbara lived with cancer before it went into retreat. they're brilliant, lovely nurses. then she was struck by covid. she was keen to get this message across. just wear your mask and wash your hands. that's all it is, isn't it? that's all they've got to do. i think it was last wednesday when i came in, i think, i don't remember. along the corridor is paul who is 53 and considers himself fit. he's over the worst now but he says it was a frightening experience. yeah, i fought it for about five or six days. at home? at home, ijust couldn't cope any longer. much of this floor of the hospital has always housed wards for those with respiratory conditions.

and now they've been expanded with room for nearly 100 patients in bays and cubicles. almost all of them with covid. from experience i can tell you that i'm seeing more sicker patients this time than i saw in the first wave. umar is a doctor in a&e. he says there's been a huge influx of covid patients. in both his professional and personal life he's seen the savage impact of the virus. when we come to work, we've got to shut down everything else is going on at home. we've got to focus on our patients but i can tell you from experience my parents have got covid, my mother—in—law is in icu at the moment, i just lost some very dear family relatives of the covid. so when you see these patients in the hospital, itjust gives you that flashback as well. but you have got to shut that down and you've got to continue looking after your patients as best as you can. after every patient is seen, diane and her colleagues have to deep clean the cubicles, floors, walls and surfaces.

she is on the covid front line as much as anyone. can't see no end to it, to be fair. and i think if you could see the light at the end of the tunnel, and somebody to say, it's going to turn off, then that would be brilliant. but we're soldiering on and we're trying very, very best to work as hard as we possibly can. how do you feel personally sometimes? me? upset, i go home and sometimes i could just sit and cry. it's just because it's demanding at the moment. machines beeping. this isn't a big city teaching hospital so covid puts even more of a strain on resources. they've had to triple the number of intensive care beds, including converting a former children's recovery area. jen is a nurse who's been redeployed from another role to help out. i've been a nurse, i've been

a nurse for 21 years. some of the shifts that i have had are the toughest that i've ever had, in particular one night shift that i had last week was one of the worst shifts i've ever had in 21 years in nursing. it was really sad, seeing the patients that we have die. the family members that couldn't be here. at times, the hospital turns to others for support. we are at a stage where the ongoing provision of safe services may be compromised. we are already supported by the east midlands network and also further afield by transferring patients out which is something we do rarely in normal times. please, we need you to use some of their beds. i've got quite a few discharges, it looks like there's two now and ten later if that's correct. at regular bed meetings throughout the day, theyjuggle the constant flow of patients and they know there are more to come.

we will see the peak in the east midlands in about early february. we know that our hospitals are incredibly busy at the moment, the rate of covid continues to be out of control in the community, and that's a clear indicator of where we think we will be in two to three weeks' time. are you ready? there are signs of hope in the hospital. a trial of a 24/7 vaccination centre has proved popular with nhs and care staff, getting theirjabs after changing shift. you've got to have a sticker! all right? yeah. and in the maternity unit, life goes on. new life with sam cuddling her new baby son 0liver. it is good to see that there is still positives coming out in such a horrible time where all you see is the doom and gloom and the figures and all the deaths and everything like that. there is still, there's happiness out there. so it is difficult because we are not able to see family and things,

but we've just welcomed a new little person into the world and, you know, it is a nice time for us, it's a happy time. it's something to be celebrated. while there is hope, there is also sadness. barbara died yesterday. her family were keen for us to use her interview to warn of the serious consequences of covid. we have news from the office for national statistics. the total number of deaths in the uk involving covid—19 now stands at 103,704. according to the 0ms and their figures are death certificates that mention coronavirus as being involved in the days, those figures are now over 100,000. 103,704. those

are now over 100,000. 103,704. those are figures where a death certificate mentions covid—19 as opposed to the daily figures which we often receive when the government to a press conference, those daily figures are deaths within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. the stormont executive is due to publish a report today on institutions for unmarried mothers in northern ireland during the last century. survivors have said they were emotionally abused and had to give up their babies for adoption. ministers will discuss whether there should be a public inquiry into mother—and—baby homes. here's our ireland correspondent chris page. the first thing they did was take my name from me. they said i could not use my ordinary name and i was given a name to use while i was there. i could not discuss where i came from orany could not discuss where i came from or any of my circumstances with the other girls. adele does not want her

lost theirjobs in the 3 months to november meaning 1.72 million people are now out of work in the uk in a bbc one documentary last night, mum of five and disability rights campaigner katie price spoke of how she is navigating the next steps for her eldest son harvey. the 18—year—old was born with septic 0ptic dysplasia, a rare disorder that affects brain function, hormones and vision. he also has the genetic disorder prader—willi syndrome which means he has learning disabilities and behavioural problems. i spoke to katie and harvey 2 years ago when she revealed that she was first considering residential care for her son. we are at the stage now, what do you do at home, harvey, to mummy�*s house, what have you been doing that mummy doesn't like? smash the windows. yes, and how many tvs do you smash? lots. yes, and how many ipads? eight. this year, you've smashed eight ipads. he doesn't realise the expense of them as well and it is like, he is a danger to himself

and for the first time ever now, i'm thinking he might have to go residential, monday to friday. really? because he knows if he kicks off in the morning, the driver won't take him to school. so he has sussed that. and he's missing out on his education. just want to be with me all the time, don't you, harv? yeah. but it's so hard. i haven't got respite. i haven't got a carerfor him, i do it all myself. but, yeah, i'm really having to think about it. but i hate it as he is my life, do you know i mean? but i've got to do what's best for him. it won't be forever. don't do that, please. it would be a very hard decision, wouldn't it? i know. but when he is smashing things and the kids are a bit scared of him because he's big, you know, he'll chase them and stuff. i've just got to do it for him. so if there is anyone out there who could give me some advice and how do you cope when going residential, you know, because i find it really hard. last night on bbc1 we saw katie and harvey looking around the kind of college he could end up going to now he's turned 18 . it's got a washing machine here and it dries your clothes as well.

and you can do a little bit of cooking if you want here. i could make pasta. you can make pasta and it's got a microwave. are you happy now? yes. shall we see more? yes. ooh, look at it! that is the biggest smile i've seen in harvey's life. this is the sensory garden that we are going to see. let's talk to them both now..

it was a revealing insight. what kind of reaction have you had to the programme? 50 kind of reaction have you had to the programme?— programme? so many people who i haven't spoken _ programme? so many people who i haven't spoken to _ programme? so many people who i haven't spoken to fat _ programme? so many people who i haven't spoken to fat years - programme? so many people who i haven't spoken to fat years have i haven't spoken to fat years have come through and different people i have worked through saying how fantastic it was. people love the bond that i have with harvey and they don't realise how challenging it can be. this is the next step for him to find a college. but i am really proud of the documentary. he did really well. it was excellent. there are thousands of positive comments, your love for harvey is a beautiful example of a mothers love and hard work into a child's potential. this was amazing, thank you for sharing this story. as a parent of a child with sensory issues it was helpful and informative and it's a beautiful

relationship. there are also comments like these, i'd like to ask you for your reaction, here she goes again selling her children story for money. another lame attempt to try and stay relevant. shame on you for using your disabled son to gain publicity. what do you say to these people? publicity. what do you say to these neo . le? , ., publicity. what do you say to these n-eole? ~ ., , “ ., people? everyone knows the bbc as a res-ectable people? everyone knows the bbc as a respectable channel, _ people? everyone knows the bbc as a respectable channel, they _ people? everyone knows the bbc as a respectable channel, they do - people? everyone knows the bbc as a respectable channel, they do seriousl respectable channel, they do serious stuff, reality is different, i make money from reality shows. this documentary is not about me, it is about me as a mum with a disabled child trying to find the next step to educate. people are ignorant and the trolls who write these things would maybe watch the documentary and feel guilty to show how vulnerable harvey is and how innocent he is and why would they

want to mock him? we are trying to make online trolling a criminal offence. you are never going to win, but i know i have helped a lot of people doing that. to years ago on the programme i needed help and here i am two years later in that situation. hopefully, i have helped educate people. it is a journey, i started a year before, it is a long process, and really, really spell out the personal care plan. that is you will find out in march whether harvey is able to go to the college that he fell in love with in cheltenham, two hours away from where you live. how do you feel about him being far away? it is where you live. how do you feel about him being far away? it is an amazin: about him being far away? it is an amazing college, _ about him being far away? it is an amazing college, but _ about him being far away? it is an amazing college, but i _ about him being far away? it is an amazing college, but i don't - about him being far away? it is an amazing college, but i don't want| about him being far away? it is an l amazing college, but i don't want to look at more, i need to know myself

because of covid—19, i cannot go there and i cannot rely on virtual tours, i need to go with harvey. it was a fantastic college, march is when i find out, and if he does not get in there, we will have to look at the next step. i need to find the best place for harvey. when you saw the documentary, it is not easy, when you have complex needs, you want to find the right place to make sure they are safe, if something goes wrong there is sectioning, the lady with her son matthew, he had complex needs and he was being sectioned and it took her years to get him out. i would never want that was really shocking. her autistic son was sectioned at 15 years old and there are 2000 people with autism caked against their well

in assessment and treatment units. and you were by that.— in assessment and treatment units. and you were by that. autism is not a mental health _ and you were by that. autism is not a mental health issue. _ and you were by that. autism is not a mental health issue. like - and you were by that. autism is not a mental health issue. like i - and you were by that. autism is not a mental health issue. like i say, i a mental health issue. like i say, if harvey was closed in a room and he doesn't understand why, he would pick off and smashed walls and they would sedate him because they think he is going crazy when all he wants is me or someone to talk to him and gave them a chance. it is so upsetting. i would love to do a documentary about that. i did not know anything about that before i did the show. it is shocking. anyone, just to explore it all. it is a different world. before people knew what the documentary was about, there were stories out there saying you are going to put harvey into care. how did that make you feel?— going to put harvey into care. how

did that make you feel? anyone who knows, did that make you feel? anyone who knows. care — did that make you feel? anyone who knows. care is— did that make you feel? anyone who knows, care is different _ did that make you feel? anyone who knows, care is different to _ knows, care is different to residential. as you can see hopefully i educated people last night. residential is the place for harvey to become an adult. they have facilities to make him excel in his career and as a person. it is completely different. i would have him at home with me all the time but i can't because i'm being selfish. he is 18 and he deserves for himself to go and explore and become a young man and everyone has said to me, after college, where would he go? he is going to come back home to me. i am excited for him. when you see that he goes to residential, he gets excited, he has the routine, he has the same driver, and i have made his home, his room at residential with all his possessions, it is really

importantly transitional move, you have do it smoothly, and family. the documentary was very calm, it was just me and harvey and you can see that i am patient with him and i watched it and i thought, how are you coping with a man with complex needs and four children during lockdown with home—schooling? chaos. look at me this morning. i have got... the children are with their dad at the moment. i get sent harvey's work so i am sitting in here and i am telling my children that i am in here and they cannot come in. i couldn't make an effort and it is what it is and i am not the only one. credit to you, i know what it is like.

hello. this is bbc news with victoria derbyshire. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. a row over covid vaccine supplies as the eu threatens controls on exports from europe. the uk's vaccine minister says supplies are tight but that there will be enough doses. i'm very confident with the team. we talk to them all the time. they are confident they will deliverfor us, yes. and astrazeneca, the bulk of astrazeneca 0xford is manufactured in the uk because we made that early investment. the number of deaths from coronavirus recorded on death certificates in the united kingdom has reached 103,704. the uk government is expected to announce that some travellers coming to england will have to quarantine in hotels when they arrive. what do you think about
