but if experience is few minutes. but if experience is the best teacher, tom brady again shows why he is the star pupil. head of the class. at 43, playing in his tenth super bowl. while mahomes and the defending champion struggled, the defending champion struggled, the buccaneers marched on. in the end, it was comfortable. super bowl win number seven for brady, that is more individual titles than any team in the nfl. just more individual titles than any team in the nfl. , , ., , more individual titles than any team in the nfl. , . , ,., more individual titles than any team inthenfl. , ., , ., ., in the nfl. just really proud of all the au s, in the nfl. just really proud of all the guys. proud _ in the nfl. just really proud of all the guys. proud of _ in the nfl. just really proud of all the guys, proud of all _ in the nfl. just really proud of all the guys, proud of all the - in the nfl. just really proud of all. the guys, proud of all the coaches, the guys, proud of all the coaches, the effort we put in. we knew we were playing great football team tonight and we got the job done, so you want to get this far, you have to get thejob you want to get this far, you have to get the job done, you want to get this far, you have to get thejob done, and we did it. the first team to win a super bowl in their own stadium permit limited tojust 25,000 inside. the brown james, serena williams and lewis hamilton have paid tribute to brady �*s achievements. his title of greatest nfl player is no longer up for debate. now it is a case of

where does he stand in the list of all—time sporting greats? time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. good afternoon. some of us are more than happy to brave the winter weather. nothing to it, for others, it is a little too cold and it does feel bitterly cold and that is how it will stay for the rest of the week. amber warnings in force from the met office for a couple of located areas around parts of eastern england and central scotland and the reason why they are local and the reason why they are local and the reason why they are local and the warnings is because the snow is driven on these lines or streams as we refer to them, the snow showers line themselves against the east, north easterly wind and you get a situation where there is no snow, snow, no snow, snow, so there is so much variation and showers sometimes keep coming and coming giving significant accumulations. whereas down the road, you just get a dusting. strong gale force winds

around some coasts leading to temporary blizzards and it feels cold. —i in the thermometer in the garden but it feels more like —7, or the equivalent of how you lose heat from the skin. snow showers continue this evening and into the night. many western areas by day and night escaping the wintry showers. these are the overnight lows, —2 or minus three degrees even on the coast, scottish glens quite a bit colder. tomorrow, we have streamers again lining themselves against the wind. the east, north—easterly wind, so fresh covering in places. but for many, it will be great if not sunny. a cold day briefly touching one celsius, most of the day, freezing or below. this is a different way of looking at the atmosphere. the jet stream is way to the south and effectively, it is deflecting the warmth from the atlantic to the south. we are on what is cold the cold side of the jet, so when you have that easterly wind or as

sometimes we refer to it to the beast from the east, which doesn't necessarily bring snow, it brings cold and dry winds and sunshine in places. so little change on wednesday. another, for some, but we cold day. this pattern will continue into the weekend. there is a suggestion less cold air dries to reach western parts of the uk, but for now until thursday or friday and maybe even the weekend, it looks as though the cold easterly winds will continue where in central europe, by dame temperatures right now are around —10 degrees so we are let off lightly, i think. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. england need to take nine wickets on the final day of the first test

with india if they're to seal an historic win in chennai. the hosts have only lost one home test in eight years and were bowled out for 337, giving england the chance to press home their advantage, but rory burns was dismissed with the first ball of the innings. the in—form joe root hit an attacking 40 as england were all out for 178. the decision not to put india in sooner by declaring may count against england as india chase that huge target of 420. they need to bat out the day tomorrow for a draw. england need wickets, nine of them for the win afterjack leach dismissed rohit sharma late on. lewis hamilton has committed his future to mercedes, signing a one—year deal, keeping him with the team for a ninth season. the announcement made on social media after weeks of negotiations. he's been been out of contract after his previous £40 million a year deal expired in december.

the new deal combines an agreement from both parties to boost diversity and inclusion in the sport. three weeks later than planned, the australian open began overnight with a host of big names in action, that included the defending champion in the men's singles, novak djokovic. he's looking for a record extending ninth title in melbourne. he beatjeremy chardy in straight sets. djocovic one of the players who enjoyed the more comfortable surroundings in adelaide in the build—up, whilst others faced quarantine for two weeks in melbourne. djocovic said he didn't have much respect off the court for nick kyrigos as the war of words between the pair continued. the typically vocal australian also made a winning start, beating frederico ferreira silva in straight sets in front of a noisy but reduced capacity crowd. just over 17,000 on site on day one, well under the permitted 30,000 per day organisers are allowing.

one of the favourites, us open champion, dominic thiem, who lost to djocovic in last year's final, won in straight sets against mikhail kukushkin, while sixth seed alexander zverev smashed a racquet on his way to victory against the american marcos giron. in the women's draw, katie boulter lost her first round match, the only brit in action on day one, but the second seed simona halep is through. she dropped just three games in her win over lizette cabrera. serena williams and naomi osaka among the other big names to reach round two. what a night it was in florida, as tom brady made more history as at the age of 43 guiding the tampa bay buccaneers to a 31—9 victory over the kansas city chiefs to extend his record for super bowl wins to seven. to put that in context that's more than any single nfl team. it was a night ofjubilation in tampa, as they won it in their home stadium. led all the way by brady, who threw three touchdown passes and was named most valuable player in the showpiece for a record

extending fifth time. just really proud of all the guys, proud of all the coaches, the effort we put in. we knew we were playing a great football team tonight and we got thejob done, so... you want to get this far you have to get thejob done, and we did it. west ham will have influential midfielder tomas soucek available again after successfully appealing the red card shown to him during saturday's game at fulham. soucek was sent off for catching alexsander mitrovic in the face with his elbow after referee mike dean had checked the replays on the pitchside monitor. dean has since notified police after his family received a number of threats and abusive messages. i'll have more for you in the next hour. borisjohnson hasjoined ministers in trying to reassure the public of the effectiveness of the uk's vaccine stocks. he said that are still a "massive

benefit", despite a study suggesting the oxford/astrazeneca only offers minimal protection against mild disease caused by the south african variant. we are very confident in all vaccines that we are using and i think it is important for people to bearin think it is important for people to bear in mind that all of them we think are effective in delivering a high degree of protection against serious illness and death, which is the most important thing. we serious illness and death, which is the most important thing.- serious illness and death, which is the most important thing. we will be continuin: the most important thing. we will be continuing to — the most important thing. we will be continuing to study _ the most important thing. we will be continuing to study the _ continuing to study the effectiveness of the vaccine roll—out and that is going very, very fast indeed, we will be looking at the ways in which the population is starting to respond to the vaccines, as we prepare to say what we are going to do in the wake of the 22nd, and what kind of road map

we want to layout. i5 the 22nd, and what kind of road map we want to layout. is it the 22nd, and what kind of road map we want to layout.— we want to layout. is it the case that it isn't _ we want to layout. is it the case that it isn't actually _ we want to layout. is it the case that it isn't actually stopping - that it isn't actually stopping people catching or passing on the virus, is it going to mean a delay to the relaxation? we virus, is it going to mean a delay to the relaxation?— virus, is it going to mean a delay to the relaxation? we think that all the vaccine — to the relaxation? we think that all the vaccine that _ to the relaxation? we think that all the vaccine that we _ to the relaxation? we think that all the vaccine that we are _ to the relaxation? we think that all the vaccine that we are using, - to the relaxation? we think that all the vaccine that we are using, both the vaccine that we are using, both the vaccines we are currently using our effective in stopping serious disease and death. particularly in the case of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine that there is good evidence it is stopping transmission as well. 67 present —— 67% reduction in transmission with the oxford astrazeneca vaccine. there remains of benefits to our country and the population as we through the pandemic, and i have no doubt that vaccines generally are going to offer the way out. with every day that goes by, you can see that

medicine is slowly getting the upper hand on the disease. what medicine is slowly getting the upper hand on the disease.— hand on the disease. what is the government _ hand on the disease. what is the government doing _ hand on the disease. what is the government doing to _ hand on the disease. what is the government doing to combat - hand on the disease. what is the government doing to combat the j government doing to combat the threat of the new variants? do you need to go further with border controls? ~ ,., need to go further with border controls? ~ _, ., , controls? with border controls we have amongst _ controls? with border controls we have amongst the _ controls? with border controls we have amongst the toughest - controls? with border controls we - have amongst the toughest anywhere in the world and there are all sorts of steps you have to go through, including a lengthy period of quarantine if you come back from abroad. they are most effective border controls when you have got the rate of infection down in your country. at the moment, as you know, we reduced the rate of infection from the peak where it was a few weeks ago, but it is still extremely high. for border controls to make that final difference, and you can isolate the new variants as they come in, you need to have infections much lower so you can track them as they spread. don't forget, we in the

uk are capable of seeing variants arise here just in the uk are capable of seeing variants arise herejust in the uk, the kent variant arose here. that doesn't mean that we are not going to be relying very much on border controls as we get the rates of infection down overall, stopping it coming in, tracking the people who have the new variants. ., u, . tracking the people who have the new variants. ., _, . ., , ., variants. how concerned are you about the _ variants. how concerned are you about the south _ variants. how concerned are you about the south african - variants. how concerned are you about the south african variant? variants. how concerned are you - about the south african variant? we about the south african variant? - believe that our vaccines are effective in combating serious disease and death against all variants, but the most important thing is that the scientists are getting ever faster and thing is that the scientists are getting everfaster and more expert in coming up with the new vaccines and the variance of the vaccines that enable us to defeat the virus.

yes, we are doing everything we can to contain new variants, but we are also increasingly confident that science, medicine is gaining the upper hand over coronavirus and all its variants. the health secretary, matt hancock, will be leading today's downing street briefing alongside england's deputy chief medical officer, professorjonathan van tam, and the medical director of nhs england, doctor nikki kanani. we'll have full coverage on the bbc one and the bbc news channel from 4.30pm this afternoon. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has said the vaccination programme has "picked up pace considerably" and in the coming days said she expects scotland to hit the milestone of more than a million vaccines administered. you remember, of course, that we prioritised older care home residents and also front line health care staff for vaccination. so quite a few of them received their first dose during december, and that means over the coming weeks, we will be starting

to administer second doses to those groups of people. in addition, i can report today that more than 95% of over 80—year—olds living in the community have now had the first dose. again, that is an uptake way beyond anything that we dared hope forjust a few weeks ago. and almost 67% of 75—79—year—olds living in the community, and 29% of 70—75—year—olds have also received the first dose and we are on course to administer first doses to everyone in those age groups and to all people with significant clinical vulnerabilities by the target date of mid february. earlier, in a coronavirus briefing, welsh health minister vaughan gething gave an update on the government's vaccination programme. our vaccination programme continues to go from strength to strength. on friday, we passed

a half a million people vaccinated milestone. today, after an incredible effort from our teams across wales, the latest figures showed almost 604,000 people have received their first dose of the vaccine. the hard work continues every day this week as we make progress towards the mid february target of offering everyone in the top four priority groups their first dose of the vaccine. we now have 43 mass vaccination centres operating across wales, more than 400 gp—lead clinics providing vaccines, and there are clinics taking place in 38 hospitals across wales. on friday and saturday, our incredible teams vaccinated the equivalent of i% of the population of wales on each day. we have now vaccinated a larger

proportion of the total population than any other part of the uk, but as we have regularly said, this isn't a race between the four nations, not a race between the governments, it is a race against the virus. this is a phenomenal effort, and as we know, every vaccine delivered is another small victory against the virus. after successfully containing the coronavirus last year, africa is experiencing a surge in cases. zimbabwe's covid death rate surged past 1,000 in january forcing the government to reintroduce a strict lockdown. several government ministers have died there from covid and confirmed cases now stand around 34,000. shingai nyoka reports from harare on the reasons behind the second wave. the burials are hurried, a handful of relatives

look on from a distance. zimbabwe, like most african countries, was mildly affected by the first coronavirus wave, but now it's in the grip of a deadly second wave. january was the deadliest month of all. this private cemetery used to average two or three covid burials a day. last month, that number rose to around a dozen. some families say their loved ones died so quickly from covid—like symptoms, but that they're still waiting for test results. the powerful have not been spared either. an unprecedented triple burial at the national war heroes shrine. among those being buried, two government ministers. january accounted for more than half the total cases, and two thirds of the deaths, since the pandemic began. it followed festive season celebrations and travellers returning from south africa. the head of a major government hospital had warned of a pending second wave long before it arrived.

he cited the reopening of schools and borders in october. we really need to prevent this virus from spiralling out of control. in a proper covid—19 storm, there would be no way to cope with this storm. even if you have so many ventilators, so many staff members, you won't cope with the numbers. so the idea here, in lower—resource areas, to make sure that we don't reach a situation where we're having a full—blown covid—19 storm. doctors groups — concerned about the pressure on icu beds, oxygen supplies and the growing number of people dying at home — also believe that other factors contributed to the rise in deaths. delays in seeking treatment and an overreliance on home remedies. street vendors are cashing in on the latest home remedy craze, the zumbani, or fever tree leaf. the immune—boosting traditional herb is used to relieve the symptoms of colds, flu and fever. before covid, i can only sell these

packets maybe three, four packets a day. but now, just because of covid, we sell more than that, packets of this a day. after a tragic month, the rate of new infections and deaths has now more than halved, and the number of active cases has dramatically decreased. the government says this is due to stricter lockdown measures. the disease, they say, is now under control, and that vaccines are coming soon. but the last month has been a reminder that the war on covid—19 is farfrom over. shingai nyoka, bbc news, harare. british lawyers assessing human rights abuses against the uighur people have said there's a "very credible" case that the chinese government is committing genocide. the lawyers from the essex court chambers in london,

were instructed by uighur and human rights groups to evaluate publicly available evidence. the chinese embassy in london has said anti—china forces were fabricating the "lies of the century". our diplomatic correpsondent james landale has been giving us this update. what this has done, as you say, it's gathered together all the available, publicly available evidence that's been compiled by governments, research outfits, media, ngos, even the chinese government themselves, and it has assessed it with the sort of, through illegal prism. what these barristers have done, they are all experts in sort of human rights law and international law, is they have said that if, on the basis of the evidence that is already there, there is — to use their phrase — "a credible case" that genocide is being carried out by the chinese government against the uighurs in xinjiang. and crucially, they also say that the chinese president, because of his close involvement in these policies, they say there is a credible case against him for crimes against humanity and a plausible case that

a genocide case could be made against him personally. so it's very, very substantive stuff. the crucial argument it makes, it says, look, if you look at the harm that has been done against the uighurs, if you look at the measures that have been taken to force women to not give birth in a variety of pretty dreadful ways, and also the forcible relocation of children to other areas, that that together begins to meet the legal definition of genocide. it's a high bar to meet. it is significant because it shows the sort of path a british court could follow, where british courts allowed to hear genocide cases. at the moment, they can't. it's likely for international courts. but mps at the moment are pushing for british courts to have this right. there is going to be a big vote in the house of commons tomorrow. the government opposes that, it is going to be quite a tight vote. now, in terms of the chinese, the chinese government said in a statement that, look, the uighur population, in their view, is rising in xinjiang and they said, as you say, that anti—china forces in the west are concocting

and disseminating plenty of false information about xinjiang and described these things as lies of the century that are smearing china's image. so as usual, they deny these charges. they say that this is fabrication from the west. george shultz, ronald reagan's secretary of state who helped end cold war, has died. he was 100. an economics professor who saw himself more as a data—driven expert than an ideologue, shultz had the rare distinction of serving in four different cabinet positions, including treasury secretary. presidentjoe biden said "few people did as much to shape the trajectory of american diplomacy and american influence in the 20th century" as shultz. mr biden added "i regret that, as president, i will not be able to benefit from his wisdom, as have so many of my predecessors".

he's a world famous rock star who played at the inauguration of president biden last month, but even dave grohl has to get stuck in with home schooling. the foo fighters frontman has caught up with our entertainment correspondent colin paterson for a chat about lockdown life, his new album and, believe it or not, a burning ambition to take up tap dancing. # i've been waiting on a war since i was young... dave grohl, how does it feel to be releasing your new album in the middle of a global pandemic? it's a relief that people finally get to hear these songs that we recorded a year ago. i mean, when we... we wrote these songs maybe two years ago, we started recording, like, mid—2019, with the intention that this album was going to be the soundtrack to our 25th anniversary. it's our tenth album. we're going to go on this massive world tour. we're going to play stadiums and festivals and we were making this really upbeat, sort of danceable record because it's going to be the biggest party of our lives!

and then everything went... he blows raspberry. ..and just stopped. so, you know, the dam finally broke and i wasjust like, let's just put it — let's get it out there. we can't get to stadiums right now but these songs were meant to be heard, so let's go. # it's times like these, time and time again... you also recently played joe biden's inauguration. how was that experience? well, it was an honour, first of all, to be included in that. i mean, i voted for the guy, so... unfortunately, it was prerecorded. we couldn't be in washington, dc — which, i was bummed out because that's my hometown. so when i saw it on television, i was actually in hawaii on the couch in a tie—dyed t—shirt, drinking a beer. so it was... it was... it was a little surreal, but it was an honour nonetheless. the important question — how is home schooling going? my kids know who i am. 0k? i've read my report cards to my kids

before, so they're not necessarily going to come to me for anything academic. they just don't. like, i could be a cheerleader, i can make you a great breakfast and i could make you smile before you start your day. but you don't necessarily want me in your history lessons. you don't necessarily want me helping you with trigonometry. let's enlist you to do some music education to the children of britain, then. give them three albums they should listen to for their music education. wow. well, you're going to want to get the beatles' sgt pepper's. # it was 20 years ago today # sgt pepper taught the band to play... one reason is because that album still connects the way it did the day it came out. now, if you want to be a drummer, you're going to want to get the ac/dc album back in black. that is like... that is rock'n'roll drumming 101.

music: back in black by ac/dc. a third album, i mean, i like myself a little party every now and then — i do like to dance. i mean, come on, let'sjust go with saturday night fever. like, look, if you put saturday night fever on, it's going to feel like saturday night. it could be a monday morning! so, i would have to go with those three albums. that's a good way to start. and thus endeth dave grohl�*s music lesson. thank you very much for that. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. well, the snow showers are very hit and miss at the moment, but the overall pattern isn't going to change over the next few days. strong east to northeasterly winds bringing subzero wind chill values, lots of snow showers and hard overnight frost. there are amber warnings in force from the met office for parts of eastern england and also central

scotland through the day. accumulations of 10—15 cm of snow. where you get stuck underneath these snow streamers, so these lines of snow that lined themselves with the wind and itjust keeps snowing in the same place over and over again. you can see these striations, so some areas actually missed the snow altogether, just get a bit of dusting. these are the gusts, around 30—40 miles an hour in places, and that means it's going to feel a lot colder than what the thermometer shows. daytime temperatures of around zero, wind—chill, so the equivalent of losing heat of skin at around —7 celsius. so here are the streamers through the course of this evening, you can see snow showers there across parts of east anglia. also central scotland giving those further accumulations out towards the west, not much snow at all. these are the overnight lows of around —2 or —3 degrees in city centres, but colder in the scottish glens. and tomorrow, much the same, again we have snow showers driven

on the east, northeasterly wind. some of the showers escaping many of us, in fact, it will be a bright if not sunny day in places. and again, another cold one. let me show you the jet stream. middle part of the week, it is actually way to the south of us, we are to the north, we are the cold areas. but that jet stream is so far south it is basically deflecting all the mild air, all the warmth towards the mediterranean, so we have got that sort of cold, snow—driven air across the northern half of europe for the time being. so wednesday, no different, but i would say that they showers will probably become a little less frequent as we go through the course of the weeks. more that dry, crisp sunny weather. now, towards the end of the week and into the weekend, there will be a bit of a battle between mild air trying to set in, but it does look as though at least for the rest of the week, that cold beast from the east is here to stay.

this is bbc news. the headlines: borisjohnson seeks to reassure the public about the oxford astrazeneca vaccine after questions about its effectiveness against the south african variant. all of them, we think, are effective in delivering a high degree of protection against serious illness and death, which is the most important thing. cut business rates permanently to help the ailing high street — that's the plea from a group of top companies. alex salmond, the former scottish first minister, will not now give evidence to msps tomorrow in their inquiry into the government's handling

of harassment complaints. heavy snow and ice causes disruption in parts of the uk — people are being urged not to travel.
