also this hour... as a national inquiry into racial injustice in maternity care is set to launch today, why are black women more likely to die in childbirth than white women? if you're black and have an experience to share on the maternity care you recieved, please do email. and coming up this hour... england have won the 1st test against india by 227 runs in chennai. they bowled out india for 192 on the final day. good morning.

all travellers coming into the uk will have to take two coronavirus tests while they are quarantining, in an attempt to track new cases or variants entering the country. the department for health said the new testing regime "will provide a further level of protection". travellers arriving in the uk will still be required to show proof of a negative covid test taken within 72 hours of theirjourney, and then quarantine for ten days upon arrival. it comes as surge testing is to be introduced in parts of manchester, after four cases of a new mutation of the kent variant were found. volunteers will go door—to—door, with more than 10,000 tests planned. meanwhile, the nhs covid—19 app has told 1.7 million people in england and wales to self—isolate since it was launched, with researchers saying they believe it's prevented around 600,000 cases. charlotte wright has this. 0k? just some of the millions who have now been vaccinated against covid—19. but while these people were told to wait to be called up —

now, in england, those over 70 who haven't yet been given an appointment are being urged to contact the nhs themselves online, or by calling 119. my advice to you is very simple — do not delay, have the vaccine that will protect you against the current threat. and don't worry, you can be re—vaccinated. it follows concerns about the performance of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, after a small study found it gave minimal protection against mild disease from the south africa variant. but scientists say that shouldn't deter people from getting a jab in the uk, where the dominant strain of the virus is different. i don't think it's an immediate concern and every bit of immunity to this virus that you can accumulate is a good thing because it will, in all likelihood, reduce the severity of disease if you do catch this virus — even if it is from one of the the overseas strains, or a strain which has acquired some resistance. but the virus is changing here too.

extra community testing — known as surge testing — will start in parts of south manchester today, after a mutation of the kent variant was discovered in four people in two separate households. experts say it's to be expected. in itself, we're not particularly worried. we think, based on good tests done in test tubes, that the vaccine will still work — perhaps just not quite as well as previously, but still good enough to protect people from severe disease, that means going into hospital and from dying. meanwhile, it's been announced that all passengers arriving in the uk will now be required to take a covid test during their isolation — measures, the department for health says, will provide a further level of protection for the country, and another sign that the pandemic�*s journey is far from over. charlotte wright, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is at westminster.

tell us more about how these two tests will work for travellers coming into the uk. 50 tests will work for travellers coming into the uk.- tests will work for travellers coming into the uk. so they will a- -l to coming into the uk. so they will apply to everyone _ coming into the uk. so they will apply to everyone who - coming into the uk. so they will apply to everyone who comes i coming into the uk. so they will. apply to everyone who comes into coming into the uk. so they will- apply to everyone who comes into the uk, whether you are isolating at home because you have come from a low—risk country, or from home because you have come from a low—risk country, orfrom next monday, whether you are isolating in a hotel because you have come from a country that is on the red list, whether government has got concerns. it will be on days two and days eight you will have to take this test and it will have to be a pcr test, that is the more expensive and more accurate test, rather than the cheaper and less accurate lateral flow tests, which are the ones on a little stick. the government is also keeping the scheme which is called test release, which is where you are isolating at home, you can leave your home if you test negative after five days, and we will get more details about it from the health secretary matt hancock in the house of commons at around lunchtime. a few implications of this, it will make a family holiday very, very expensive because in theory, you could get a pcr test three days before you get on the plane to come

back and then at least two test when you do come back. and a pcr test because about £120. 50 that could be well over £1000 for an average family. although the government would say that is the theoretical issue at the moment because under the lockdown regulations, it is actually illegal to go on holiday. but like all of these measures, it then raises a long—term question of, when you left these measures? find when you left these measures? and the pcr test — when you left these measures? and the pcr test is _ when you left these measures? and the pcr test is the gold standard swab test, the sticking the swap in the back of your throat and your nose? . , . the back of your throat and your nose? ., , ., _, the back of your throat and your nose? ., , ., ,, ., , nose? that is what you get from test and trace if — nose? that is what you get from test and trace if you _ nose? that is what you get from test and trace if you have _ nose? that is what you get from test and trace if you have symptoms, - nose? that is what you get from test and trace if you have symptoms, but| and trace if you have symptoms, but in this case, the government would expect you to shell out your own money to get that done privately so that it doesn't put extra pressure on the nhs test and tray system. the other forms of tests are called the lateral flow devices, that is the ones local councils are using an employee is like the bbc are giving to their staff —— employers. you do

a slightly less invasive swab and you put it in liquid and you put it on the strip and within half an hour, you get a test. the issue with thoseis hour, you get a test. the issue with those is they are just not as accurate. they are quite good for catching people who might not have symptoms, but do have coronavirus. they are not great at giving you a green light to do whatever you want, so that is why the government is using the pcr test. there is also extra testing in the system now which is genomic testing, where they go through a different lab and they get studied in more detail, and that is how you identify what particular strains and has got. whether it is the old variant, then you kent variant, orwhich the old variant, then you kent variant, or which is the new south african variant. 0r variant, or which is the new south african variant. or i should say, latest figures show there have only been 147 cases of the south african variant identified in the uk and thatis variant identified in the uk and that is why the deputy chief medical officerjonathan van—tam could say quite confidently yesterday it is the uk can strain that is really dumb now and the south african strain is actually a minor concern at the moment and more of the theoretical risk than a real one.

officially 147 cases, absolutely. thanks, adam. it could of course be much higher. joining me now is paul moss, professor of haematology at the institute of immunology and immunotherapy at university of birmingham, and a member of the government's scientific advisory group, sage. professor moss, good morning. can i ask you about this plan to test all travellers on day two and stay eight of quarantining, do you agree with this, did you advise the government to do this? ., ., , �* ., to do this? no, i wasn't involved in the advice. — to do this? no, i wasn't involved in the advice, but _ to do this? no, i wasn't involved in the advice, but it _ to do this? no, i wasn't involved in the advice, but it sounds _ to do this? no, i wasn't involved in the advice, but it sounds a - to do this? no, i wasn't involved in| the advice, but it sounds a sensible approach. what we are trying to do here is the amount of debt is reduce the amount of viral transmission in the amount of viral transmission in the community, to vaccination, social—distancing, lockdown and this final stopping entry of potential variance from other countries so it is very sensible. can variance from other countries so it is very sensible-— variance from other countries so it is very sensible. can you explain to our audience _ is very sensible. can you explain to our audience weight _ is very sensible. can you explain to our audience weight is _ is very sensible. can you explain to our audience weight is sensible, i our audience weight is sensible, what testing twice while on a ten day quarantine does.—

real concern at the moment. so just to put that into perspective, the virus uses this protein called spike to stick to ourselves and get entry and it has got 25 key points of entry. and three of those are changed in the south african variant and it is a particular one mutation thatis and it is a particular one mutation that is concerning called e484k, we have 147 cases. the problem with this variant is, is, vaccines are slightly less effective against this variant, that is a concern. they still have some efficacy, but not so much. �* , , , ., still have some efficacy, but not so much. �* ,, , ., j~ much. and it is because of the e484k mutation that — much. and it is because of the e484k mutation that there _ much. and it is because of the e484k mutation that there is _ much. and it is because of the e484k mutation that there is surge - much. and it is because of the e484k mutation that there is surge testing l mutation that there is surge testing testing going on or about to begin in areas around manchester, four cases in two unconnected households in the moss side area with this particular mutation which is linked to the known can strain according to the city council there, how worried are you about the fact that it is

particularly striking in parts of manchester —— kent strain. we particularly striking in parts of manchester -- kent strain. we have to be very wary _ manchester -- kent strain. we have to be very wary and _ manchester -- kent strain. we have to be very wary and concerned, - manchester -- kent strain. we have to be very wary and concerned, but| to be very wary and concerned, but we have best virus sequencing programme in the world in the uk so it is not surprisingly detect these cases. it doesn't mean it will take off. that is not too much evidence the south african variant is more transmissible, it is more about the vaccine responsiveness we are concerned. so there is no need to suggest this will inevitably take over the uk and doesjonathan van—tam said this morning, it is very much the kent variant that is our concern at the moment. everyone wants to know — our concern at the moment. everyone wants to know when _ our concern at the moment. everyone wants to know when restrictions - wants to know when restrictions might start to ease, we are past the peak, says england's chief medical officer, deaths are falling, hospital admissions are following. do you have a level of daily positive test figures, the ones we get from the government, that we need to reach before we can think about loosening restrictions? i think i personally don't. it is a

very difficult question and i can sense how everybody wants more freedom, that is totally understandable. it is worth remembering, i was sitting at my desk three months ago, only three months, when the first vaccine announcement was made from pfizer showing a 95% efficacy and look at what we have achieved in three months. tens of millions of people being vaccinated. so i think we have made tremendous progress, we need a little more patience, but we are doing exceptionally well in the last few weeks and i believe science can counter these new challenges. hour counter these new challenges. how much more — counter these new challenges. how much more patience, for how long? counter these new challenges. how i much more patience, for how long? it is very difficult to say. transmissions are remaining relatively high, we see about 14 to 16,000 cases a year. i will have to leave that to the model is to decide and i imagine the opening up will be in phased returns, probably starting with primary schools. == in phased returns, probably starting with primary schools.— with primary schools. -- the model s. thank with primary schools. -- the model 5- thank you _ with primary schools. -- the model 5- thank you very _ with primary schools. -- the model s. thank you very much _ with primary schools. -- the model s. thank you very much for - with primary schools. -- the model s. thank you very much for talking | s. thank you very much for talking to us today, professor moss, a member of sage, the group of scientists who advise the government. and the health secretary

matt hancock will set out the new rules regarding test for all travellers coming back to the uk in the commons today at half past 12 and you will get that life here on bbc news channel. at half past 12, the health secretary matt hancock will set out those new rules for tests for travellers coming to the uk. campaigners say care homes in england must be helped to re—open to visitors by march. age uk is among six organisations asking for the return of what they call meaningful indoor visits — as many residents have now spent almost a year in isolation. police in myanmar have fired rubber bullets and used water cannon on demonstrators in the capital, nay pyi taw, during a protest against the military coup in the country. for a fourth successive day, there have been big demonstrations. these are pictures from today's protests in the country's largest city, yangon, and at least 27 people were arrested in mandalay. demonstrations have spread across the country, although they have been largely peaceful.

the bbc�*s south east asia correspondent, jonathan head, is in neighbouring bangkok and gave us this update. at the moment, everything really depends on how the authorities respond. it was interesting that in the coup leader min aung hlaing's first speech to the people yesterday, last night — a very long, rambling speech, in which he tried to justify his coup — it was quite soft in tone. he actually didn't mention the protests. he actually promised that his regime would not be anything like the military regimes of the past. but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't use force. they're bound to at some point. they've only deployed the police so far and, despite the use of water cannon, we are seeing more water cannon deployed today in key areas in yangon as well. this is not the kind of hardline crackdown and dispersal of protests that we've seen in the past. that means that over the last four days, in particular, people have grown in confidence. and we're seeing these protests

in the most remote parts of myanmar. we can't even keep count of the number of towns and cities where they're taking place. we won't even know until the end of the day. we're talking dozens and dozens of towns and cities where they might be small, they might be big. and so, there's a sense that this is now a nationwide movement, even though it doesn't have any kind of central leadership, and i think that's giving enormous momentum and belief that they can make a difference. the army is going to have to do something. its authority is being eroded every day that these protests come out. so, we're seeing a little bit more police action today, but still no sign of anything really determined to try and stop these protests. the impeachment trial of donald trump starts in the us senate today. he's charged with inciting a mob of his supporters to attack the capitol building last month. his lawyers have said mr trump will not testify, and that he did not spark the violence. our washington correspondent, barbara plett usher, reports. for the first time in modern history, america's peaceful transfer of power was shaken.

the capitol stormed by armed supporters of the president to stop congress from declaring his election defeat. the ragged insurrectionjolted lawmakers into action. members of the lower chamber — including some republicans — charged donald trump with inciting the riot. we fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more. president trump used fiery language that day — his lawyers say he was simply exercising his right to free speech. we're going to walk down to the capitol! cheering but democrats plan to use his own words against him. take the capitol! they say the evidence is all out there — live—streamed and live—tweeted. fight for trump! and they will present it in vivid colour for the nation to see. no—one will be able to avert their gaze from what mr trump said and did, and the consequences of his actions. # america...# five people died during the riot.

here, a memorial service for a capitol police officer who was killed. and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle feared for their lives. and then, ijust start to hear these yells of, "where is she? where is she? " like hell, i'm going to let a bunch of domestic terrorists interfere i with ourjob to protect - and defend the constitution. do you solemnly swear... it looks almost certain, though, that senate republicans won't vote to convict. on the day they were sworn in as jurors, most of them backed mr trump, calling the trial "unconstitutional". democrats are wasting the nation's time on a partisan vendetta against a man no longer in office. the man may have left the white house, but he's still a power broker in the party, with a tight grip on the grass roots. and he's not coming back here to testify, to this fortress capitol, still under heavy guard to protect

members of congress. republicans are clearly eager to turn this unhappy page and move on, but democrats are determined to hold donald trump to account — for the history books, if nothing else. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. a computer hacker has tried to poison the water supply of a town in florida. the hacker accessed the software of a treatment plant in oldsmar and tried to increase the amount of sodium hydroxide in the water by a factor of more than 100, but the attempt was spotted and blocked. no arrests have been made, and police are not sure if the attack came from within the us, or abroad. you're welcome to get in touch today, you can send me an e—mail or message me on instagram or twitter. particularly interested to hear from you if you are a black woman with an experience to share about the maternity care you received. the reason i am asking that is because a national inquiry will begin today

interracial injustice in the maternity care systems of this country. black women are more likely to die on and more likely to have a pregnancy end in stillbirth than white women. why is that happening? such a shocking statistic. we will talk more about that between half past nine and ten and your own experiences are very welcome, i would like to feed them into the conversation. the headlines on bbc news: all travellers arriving in the uk will be required to take two covid tests while they're self—isolating for ten days. surge testing for coronavirus is introduced in parts of manchester, after four cases of a new mutation of the kent variant of covid are confirmed. the bulk of childcare and less securejobs — why women are suffering more from the economic impact of covid, according to a group of mps. we will talk to the chair of that committee and the next ten minutes. there was a time before the pandemic

when police officers would only be called to a house party in the event of a crime. usually, that would be violent disorder or rowdy behaviour. now, during covid restrictions, throwing or attending a party for multiple households is a crime in itself, and the police are breaking them up every day. our reporter connor gillies spent a night on patrol with officers in glasgow to find out more. yeah, that's the first call of the evening — a noisy party. friday night, on the road and on patrol, tackling those partying in the pandemic. behind the door is an illegal gathering. six fines are issued to young people frustrated and in search of fun.

you're obviously not wearing a mask. i'm assuming there's no social distancing in the flat. do you care? and someone watching this whose family member has died and they can't see their family at all, and you guys are breaking the rules. next, there's word of a big party in here. inside, 30th birthday celebrations. 15 people fined, the property owner charged. it took a while for the officers to be permitted entry into the house. and there were several people in different rooms. they explained why they were there — there was a clear disregard for the coronavirus legislation. the householder will now be reported to the procurator fiscal for facilitating that birthday party. it's now two o'clock in the morning and, usually,

the pubs and clubs would be spilling out onto the streets, but this pandemic very much continues. and while the majority of us are following the rules, tonight's policing operation shows there's a stubborn minority of people who simply don't care, putting both the public and police at risk. increasingly, these parties are being held in rented accommodation booked online, with officers being bitten, abused and punched. every corner of the country, every day of the week, every weekend of the year. in fact, i think with the exception of christmas day, there has not been one single day since the restrictions on house parties came in that the police have not been called to attend them. those on the front line, it seems, remain exposed, exasperated and exhausted. connor gillies, bbc news. since the pandemic hit, government policies have repeatedly skewed towards men, and it keeps happening —

so say mps on the women and equalities select committee, who also believe that women's equality could be setback years by the pandemic. many women are working in sectors that have been decimated during the pandemic — including travel, beauty and retail. not to mention caring responsibilities. well, we can speak now to caroline noakes — head of the women and equalities committee. she is also a conservative mp. cathy frost — who runs her own gift and homeware shop, and emma—jane cox — a children's entertainer and educator. cathy, how has the past year been to you? very challenging, i have never known a year like it, i have been in business 13 years and this has been by far the hardest, a bit of a roller—coaster. we have been open probably six months of a 12 month year so it has taken its toll financially, but also emotionally, not knowing when we will be open again and what the effect of when our high street will reopen, what it

of the women and equalities committee. mary wilson, who co—founded the supremes and remained a member of the group until they split up, has died at the age of 76. the supremes were known for hits such as baby love and you can't hurry love. the group was founded in detroit as the primettes in 1959, when wilson was 15 years old. wilson was an original member of the group alongside diana ross, florence ballard and barbara martin. now it's time for a look

at the weather, with carol. hello again. it's another cold day in prospect following on from a cold night. in fact, it was the coldest night of this winter so far, temperatures in altnaharra at minus 15.1 celsius. we still have this amber weather warning from the met office in force. it's valid until nine o'clock tonight. and further heavy snow is likely across parts of central scotland with disruptions also likely. we've got snow showers in other parts of the country as well being blown in on a gusty wind, but they are showers, so not all of us will see them. in—between, there will be some sunshine. but wherever you are, it is going to feel cold. now, the gusts of wind are going to be particularly strong today through the english channel and the south—west. and in the south—west and the channel islands, we've got a front lurking close by and, indeed, that may well produce a little bit of rain, possibly some snow. but it may not, it may sink further south. these are the temperatures widely outside, freezing two plus three. add on the strength of the wind and the wind—chill

and it will feel cold. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: the government is to set out new rules requiring people who travel to the uk to have two coronavirus tests during their 10—day period of self isolation. surge testing will begin in areas of manchester where a mutation of the kent variant of the virus has been detected. adults living in moss side, hulme, whalley range and fallowfield are encourged to take a test. equality for women could be setback years because of the government's response to the pandemic, according to a group of mps. they say policies on income support and economic recovery are "skewed towards men". the impeachment trial of donald trump will get under way later. he's accused of inciting the january attack on the capitol building by a crowd of his supporters. mary wilson, one of the founding members of the supremes,

has died at the age of 76.the singer's death was announced by her publicist but the cause of death has not been confirmed. the supremes were known for hits such as baby love and you can't hurry love. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sally nugent. in the last half an hour, england have won the first test against india in chennai, thanks to some sensational bowling. james anderson put england on top with what's being desribed as one of the greatest overs in test cricket — taking two wickets in three balls he added another, before jack leach took his match tally to four and it was left to joffra archer to wrap up the victory — england winning by a mammoth 227 runs. they go one—up in the four—match series.

britain's heather watson made it through to the second round of the australian open, despite saying she didn't feel as fit as usual, after her 14—day quarantine — she beat kristyna pliskova in two tie—break sets. franjones, who's playing in herfirst she has been knocked out in her first match. she performed well in the opening set but she couldn't keep pace in the second coming losing six —— four, six —— one. she is seeded 13th, she's a break—up in the first set and she has just left court after calling a medical time out. cameron normally has beaten dan

evans, coming through in four sets. referee mike dean has asked to be referee mike dean has asked to he stood down dean has asked to he stood down from the next round of fixtures this weekend. it came after he gave a red card on saturday. really now we're at a stage where we need to be all coming together with the social media companies, collating that evidence and looking at prosecuting people. every circumstance, every incident, is very different, depending on what's been said or how it's been reported into us. however, we need to be looking at a proper prosecute route. it's the only way we can go now. it's been going on forfar too long. there's more talk of an england call—up for patrick bamford,

after he scored his 100th goal, to help leeds move the top half of the premier league table. he scored their second in a 2—nil win over crystal palace bamford has been in great form this season — he was watched by england manager gareth southgate last week. that was his 12th goal of this campaign. is flying and we see it every day in training. we work so hard for the team, our possession as well. he holds the ball well and when he gets a chance he puts it away and i am delighted for him. he's got there from hard work and hopefully he continues to do what he's doing because he has been unbelievable for us. the fifth round of the fa cup gets under way tonight. manchester united knocked out liverpool in the last round — and they take on west ham at old trafford — a game you can watch live on bbc one . united are still looking for their first trophy under manager ole gunnar solskjaer. you want to go all the way

and you want to lift the trophy. that's not be all, end all, of course it isn't. it's the bread and butter in the premier league that is also a measure of how good a team is. to get to a final, sometimes you're lucky with a draw. but to win a final, then everyone's — all the good teams have been beaten. so that's the next step for us in the development of this team. that's all the sport for now. the statistics are shocking — black women are 5 times more likely to die in childbirth than white women. today a national inquiry into racial injustice in maternity care is set to launch. the inquiry will aim to look at why black and asian women are sometimes treated differently during pregnancy. the maternity charity birth rights is leading the inquiry — and one

we have to have these conversations in 2021 about whether rees plays a part in how a woman is treated in the health care system. it plays a part in every element of her life, notjust she is giving birth. abs, notjust she is giving birth. a woman of pakistani origin is more likely to die here than in pakistan. can i read this e—mail? good morning, victoria, iam can i read this e—mail? good morning, victoria, i am a can i read this e—mail? good morning, victoria, iam a black caribbean women, i was 36 weeks pregnant and it was going well but at the clinic they told me that my baby had died. you will be having the baby today and will be going through normal labour, within one hour i was in the labour ward, i had a beautiful baby boy, i was told i could hold him, they put him in my arms and pulled him away and said that was enough. i begged them to let me hold him further, they said

no. i said let me hold him further, they said no. isaid please, they let me hold him further, they said no. i said please, they said let me hold him further, they said no. isaid please, they said no, and then they came to me and said i had to sign something to give his organs away. i said to sign something to give his organs away. isaid i to sign something to give his organs away. i said i didn't want to do it and they said they had to take his organs or they would not be able to do it at all. i cannot believe the way i was treated. it was disgraceful. what do you think? it breaks my heart and i feel very emotional because i have been in hospital with my friend who went through something similar and we had to advocate to even stay in the hospital and support her. it is absolutely not acceptable that women are being treated like this in a health care setting and in maternity setting. it is not acceptable, i really hope that this inquiry is not just lip service and what the results find that tangible action and solutions are taken to ensure

shortbread is missing, oat cakes are missing. various cheese and milk in the fridge. the fridges are empty, and we're even down to the last scone. there are two lorry loads of goods worth tens of thousands of pounds waiting in the uk. since britain left the eu, all this produce now need separate customs codes, so it's clear for travel, covering everything from cakes to crisps and meat to marmalade. it means hundreds of forms. the store manager says they are struggling to account for everything. our main delivery is still unconfirmed. so... but if that doesn't come, it looks like we may have to close for a longer period of time until we can enjoy guarantee supplies, basically. you can't have a supermarket running with no stock on the shelves. the british government says it has long warned of the changes to come, and described these issues as short—term problems. but it's more than that

for this company. we're not talking about shipping one product in one truck. we're shipping hundreds of product on one truck. and each product will need a different set of paperwork to go along with it. customers have been coming here for 39 years, a guaranteed way of getting british items abroad. we have always come here to, essentially, i suppose, to get a little bit of home—grown things, where you have the flavour of home, if you like, and the sort of feel at home. it's all the stuff you miss. it's the stuff that you, when you go back on, that you want to bring back. it's the stuff of your childhood. it's the stuff of necessity — bleach. and normally i buy a big box full. this is all i can manage to scrape up today. the reality for stone manor means it's been forced to close at the weekend for the first time ever. the bosses say it's a temporary measure, but it risks being shut for much longer if they can't bring supplies in soon.

our correspondent, gavin lee, is at a supermarket in brussels. there are various wags on twitter saying breaking news, the europeans make biscuits too. but it is an issue, isn't it?— make biscuits too. but it is an issue, isn't it? yes, on one level, the customer _ issue, isn't it? yes, on one level, the customer say _ issue, isn't it? yes, on one level, the customer say what _ issue, isn't it? yes, on one level, the customer say what keeps - issue, isn't it? yes, on one level, i the customer say what keeps many british nationals coming here are the tastes of the uk which are very distinctive, whether you like them or not, but the bigger level is that the company behind me is in a critical state, two big lorries that can't get here because they are overwhelmed. major supermarkets, marks and spencer in france, 19 stores in paris having problems with supplying fresh food. they have said in a statement to us that it is simply far too complex trying to get the system to work and morrisons in

gibraltar have empty shelves with meat and dairy, starting to get the supply up and running now. the managers of this shop have been advised not to bother with calle and when they try and get to the brew to the belgian port, they have of british lorries facing similar issues. if the food starts to rot and they lose out, the british government says they are aware of the problems and have set up hotlines for advice on very complex export issues, but the companies are all telling us it is simply too much. these are more than teething problems. and, his report is one of the most watched on the global bbc website. a mission to mars is due to orbit the red planet later today. the hope spacecraft still has one

of the most dangerous parts of its journey ahead — when it needs to brake forjust the right amount of time to avoid crashing into mars, or missing altogether. our global science correspondent rebecca morelle has more. a first for the united arab emirates. this was the moment last summer when it sent its spacecraft to mars. now it's almost reached its destination, but the probe, called hope, has a critical manoeuvre ahead — getting into orbit. it needs to approach mars atjust the right speed and angle. if anything goes wrong, the entire mission will be lost. the spacecraft will study the atmosphere to solve a big mystery of how mars transformed from a planet with water, like earth, to the dry, dusty world it is today. until now, the uae has only sent satellites into earth orbit. arriving at the red planet will be a huge leap. to know that there is a spacecraft that has gone from this region further than any man—made object has ever gone, that is hurtling towards a small pink dot that

you also see in the sky, i can't describe the feeling or the thought process, but i never thought that this was possible. the spacecraft has one shot to get into orbit. if it succeeds, history will be made, firmly establishing the united arab emirates as a new space power. rebecca morelle, bbc news. we have received these figures for coronavirus —related death, that specifically mention coronavirus on a death certificate, just over 9000 covered 19 deaths in the week up to the 29th of january in the uk. the tag the 29th of january in the uk. the lag behind the daily figures we get from the government. that figure has barely changed on the previous week. just over 20,000 deaths were

registered for any reason that we, thatis registered for any reason that we, that is 42% above the expected levels for this time of year. these figures describe death certificates that mention coronavirus. we'll bring you more on that in the next hour on bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. we have just had the coldest night of this winter so far. in altnaharra in sutherland, temperatures fell to —15.1. staying in scotland, the met office still has this amber weather warning in force for heavy snow. across parts of central scotland, disruption is likely, widely we could see five to ten centimetres of snow by the time this warning ends at nine o'clock. on higher ground, even twice that amount. but elsewhere, we've got a lot of snow showers coming in on the gusty winds from the north sea. there are showers, but not all of us will see them. in between, there will be some sunshine, but, as i mentioned, the gusty winds you can see what i'm talking about, the strongest today through the english channel and around the southwest. temperatures looking at zero

to about three degrees, add on the wind chill, will feet below freezing, so —6, for example, in birmingham. you can see this little area here. this looks like we are going to see some rain, possibly some snow in the channel islands into the south—west, but it might sink further south. but what you will notice is, with that wind—chill, it will feel more like —10 in parts of south—west england. as we head on through the evening and overnight, the snow showers continue. the winds will slowly start to ease. there will be a lot of clear skies. there's a risk of ice on untreated surfaces and you can see another cold night in prospect in the highlands and grampian once again. you will see temperatures fall to —15. now, on wednesday, we've got this low pressure in the atlantic. it's effectively been blocked by this area of high pressure that is dominating our weather at the moment. so, on wednesday, we are looking at further snow showers coming in across eastern areas. the wind coming from more of a north—easterly, so the distribution of those showers slightly different, but a lot of dry weather and still feeling cold.

as we head into thursday, still a lot of dry weather around, a fair bit of sunshine, one or two snow showers affecting some eastern areas, but cast your eyes out to the west where the cloud is building, some snow is arriving and some rain. still a cold day in prospect across the board, but temperatures plus three out towards the west. what is happening is we've got a battle between the milder atlantic air as we head towards the end of the week, and the cold air coming in across the near continent, its source is the arctic moving across the continent into our shores. at the moment, it looks like the cold air is going to win.

this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. all travellers arriving in the uk will be required to take two covid tests while they're self—isolating for ten days. we'll be speaking to one woman who arrived back in the uk yesterday and walked straight through border controls in ten minutes without any checks. a world health organization team investigating the origins of the covid—19 pandemic in wuhan is about to give their findings on their visit to china. the second impeachment trial of donald trump will begin later in the us senate. the former president is charged with inciting insurrection, after his supporters stormed the capitol building injanuary. no custard creams or baked beans at british supermarkets in europe, due to major supply problems because of post—brexit rules on exports to the eu.
